Chapter 656 - Opening the Gate and Releasing Water
And even if it fails, it's nothing, at most, Wancheng won't be taken down so easily, and then just find a way to attack the city, there will always be a way.
Hearing her words, Zhao Mocheng and the Eighth Prince also nodded, indeed, this is much better than directly going to Yanggu Pass to attack Liaoxi.
Once they succeed, they won't lose much at all, they will be able to capture Wancheng, and then directly enter the interior of Yuzhou, and it is only a matter of time before they conquer Yuzhou. ‘
"Okay, then let's hurry up, target Huang Chenghe, and capture King Hecheng alive."
The eighth prince raised his arms, and then set off directly with a large army, crossing Wumei Mountain and heading to Huangcheng River.
Wumei Mountain is a mountain very close to Yuzhou, it is very large, and the whole mountain road is very difficult to walk, so few people come here.
And because of the difficult road here, there are very few people who will garrison here, because few people think that there will be an enemy attacking from here, which is also their advantage.
However, when crossing Wumei Mountain, I suffered a lot, the mountain road is steep, and it is very difficult to walk, so I can only move forward slowly, delaying a lot of time.
"Eighth Prince, have you received a message from the surrounding states and counties?"
Yun Xiaoshuang and the three of them walked in front at this time, and then she asked softly.
"I released the news three days ago, and I haven't received it yet."
The eighth prince shook his head, he himself was very strange, it stands to reason that the news should have been delivered a long time ago, why hasn't he replied yet?
It's not far from here to the surrounding counties, and even the farthest three days should be there, which is indeed a strange thing.
"By the way, you didn't tell them they were going to come to Wumei Mountain to find us, did you?"
Yun Xiaoshuang seemed to have suddenly thought of something, with an anxious look on her face, she looked at the Eighth Prince and asked.
"Of course not, didn't you say you wanted to keep it secret, I asked people to wait in Haicheng, and when I received the news, I would come to Wumei Mountain to find us."
The Eighth Prince smiled proudly, although he couldn't compare to Yun Xiaoshuang and Zhao Mocheng when it came to breaking the enemy's schemes.
But he is not a fool, this kind of thing naturally knows to be kept secret, otherwise if the news leaks out, this strategy will not be completed.
Hearing his words, Yun Xiaoshuang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this guy is not stupid, and he knows that this kind of thing is to be kept secret.
This time I went to Yuzhou, and the grain and grass I brought with me were enough to last for half a month to a month, and then there was grain and grass transported over, so there was no need to worry about the grain and grass.
"There are some things that we have to think clearly, and the surrounding states and counties can't be fully trusted, and if we fully trust the people in these states and counties, it will be very dangerous."
"It doesn't have to be that all of these people are on our side, and once one of them is on the side of King Hecheng, we will be in danger."
"So you still have to prepare for both."
Yun Xiaoshuang said lightly, she had already thought about these things clearly.
This is a war, although these states and counties say that they are loyal to the emperor, but not all of them are, and it may be that they are confused with King Cheng's people.
If you make a contribution to attacking these states and counties this time, it will be very easy to destroy, but once there is an inner ghost in the middle, there will be a big chaos, so it is better to be careful.
Hearing her words, the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng nodded hurriedly, they didn't expect this, the so-called heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, so it is better to prepare early.
The eighth prince ordered a general, with ten lieutenant generals, and 20,000 people down the mountain, waiting for orders, and if something happened, he could support him as soon as possible.
Now Yun Xiaoshuang can also put her mind at ease, at least if something really happens, she can still have a chance to remedy it.
In three days, they finally crossed Wumei Mountain, and lost a lot of people along the way, either falling from the mountain or dying of disease.
This made Yun Xiaoshuang a little sad, but there was no way, after all, this was a war, and there would naturally be casualties in a war, which was unavoidable.
Coming down from Wumei Mountain, you can already see the outline of Wancheng from a distance, and it is not far from Huangcheng River, you can reach it in a few hours.
They bypassed Wancheng and walked in the direction of Huang Chenghe, which was far away from Wancheng, so they would hardly be detected, and there were very few spies here.
Two hours later, they came to the area around the Huangcheng River, and looked at the churning water in the Huangcheng River, and several people couldn't stop laughing.
Due to the rainy season in Yuzhou, the water of the Huangcheng River always soars, and the dam must be rebuilt every year, otherwise Yuzhou would have been flooded long ago.
"How about it, do you want to release the water now?"
The eighth prince looked at the river and was in a very good mood, Wancheng is in the lower reaches of the Huangcheng River, as long as the dam is broken and the water is released, it will definitely be flooded.
"Don't worry, let people go into the city first to see if the people are running clean, but you can't release water and drown the people."
Yun Xiaoshuang reminded him, and the Eighth Prince asked people to investigate, and he and Zhao Mocheng went to the garrison.
They are in the upper reaches of the Huangcheng River, also on a small hill, and they can look at Wancheng condescendingly, which is also an advantage.
When it was getting dark, the people who had gone to finish the investigation returned.
"Report to the Eighth Prince, the Marquis of Xiaoyao, there is only a garrison and no people to complete, but they are all ready to let their guard down."
The spy fell to one knee and reported everything he had found.
Hearing his words, everyone laughed, it was really the death of heaven and the king of Cheng, the people ran away, and they released the water without scruples.
In fact, Yun Xiaoshuang had already guessed this, and the reason why she had to send someone to confirm it was just to confirm it, so she must not have been surprised.
The people are all the people of Tianshuo Kingdom, and they are all loyal to the emperor, and they are different from these officials.
And King Hecheng sent troops to occupy Yuzhou and Haizhou, and he had already lost the support of the people, and it is estimated that the people of Yuzhou would not be happy for a long time.
In addition, Haizhou has been lost, and the people know that the army will come to attack Yuzhou sooner or later, so they will definitely not continue to accompany King Hecheng, and they will leave Wancheng as soon as possible.
And King Hecheng definitely didn't want the people to go, but Yuzhou is also a continent with a large population, and it is impossible for him to stop so many people.
So after such a long time, the people have already walked clean, otherwise it would be a little difficult to open the gate and release water this time.
At this time, everyone picked up their tools, aimed at the dam, and prepared to open the gate to release water.
"Smash me."
Yun Xiaoshuang said coldly, looked at Wancheng condescendingly, and then just waited for the news of the victory.
With her order, all the people with weapons frantically smashed the dam, because Yuzhou was afraid of being flooded by the Huangcheng River, so it was defeated and repaired every year.
Moreover, the dam of the Huangcheng River is not a casual material, ordinary materials can not stop the water of the Huangcheng River at all, this dam is built with good stones.
So the texture is very hard, the quality is also very good, these people take the equipment and smash the dam, and they only hit a big crater for an hour.
"This dam is really strong, it seems that Chen Liuwang has done a lot of good things before."
Looking at the hardness of the dam, the eighth prince couldn't help but complain, if it was at this speed, it was estimated that it would be difficult to smash it open for a night.
Yun Xiaoshuang smiled slightly, although Chen Liuwang is not good at fighting, but his strength is more than enough for one state and county.
At least it is much more powerful than King Hecheng, otherwise how could the emperor trust a rich place like Yuzhou to King Chen Liu.
In the past few years here, Chen Liuwang has indeed done a lot of things, due to the threat of the Huangcheng River, every year before the rainy season, he has to personally bring people to repair the dam.
So the dam has become what it is now, very hard and difficult to destroy, but it can also block the Huang Cheng River in time.
"Actually, Chen Liuwang's ability is still okay, at least he still has a lot of experience in managing the state and county, but it doesn't matter, we can hammer this dam sooner or later."
Yun Xiaoshuang sighed with emotion, and then looked around, they were hiding in the jungle, and it was only after they went around the jungle that they could hide their identities.
As time passed, although the dam was hard, it could not stand up to such a smash, and the dam gradually became a little unable to hold on.
"Listen to me, when the flood floods Wancheng, most of the garrison will run out, and when the time comes, we will go down the mountain and cover up with the army, and we will definitely be able to capture Wancheng."
"As long as Wancheng is in our hands, even if King Hecheng has the entire Yuzhou in his hands, we are not afraid."
Yun Xiaoshuang looked at the bottom of the mountain, and then swore a word.
At this time, the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng were both happy and convinced of her, and this was indeed the best opportunity to win Wancheng.
And as she guessed, there were no defenders here in Huang Chenghe, and no one noticed that they were coming, so it could almost be said that they came to the vicinity of Huang Chenghe without any hindrance.
And at this moment, only to hear a clang, half of the entire dam was smashed, and the water rushed directly down the dam.
The distance between the upstream and downstream is very far, and the downhill is very steep, and the water of the Huangcheng River is like a beast in Longzhong, rushing downstream.
Such a spectacular scene is not often seen, or even rare, at least Yun Xiaoshuang has seen such a scene for the first time.
The speed of rushing with whom was very fast, and in just a few minutes, he arrived at the foot of Wancheng City, and directly surrounded Wancheng in an instant.
Several people stood on the top of the mountain, watching this scene, they were all very surprised, no one could have imagined that this kind of water attack would have such a good effect.
And the river is more and more, and soon the city wall of Wancheng is directly flooded in half, in this case, no matter how many enemy troops are stationed in Wancheng, the city is dead.
Their soldiers here also cheered, after all, Wancheng was flooded, and the defenders inside were almost finished, and even the city support next to them could not be supported.
They just need to wait for the water level in Wancheng to drop, and then go directly to occupy Wancheng, and the next thing is very simple.
