Chapter 659: It's time to fight for acting
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, let's go first, according to the time, the eighth prince should have been in Wancheng."
Yun Xiaoshuang smiled slightly, then rode her horse forward, and Zhao Mocheng hurriedly followed behind her with the whole army.
The two of them walked side by side like this, and their backs looked very compatible, as if they were destined to be two people.
This place is not far from Wancheng, and according to her speculation, Wancheng should have no defenders, and it should not be a big problem to attack Mingyang before King Hecheng receives the news.
In ten minutes, they arrived at Wancheng, and sure enough, at this time, Wancheng only had the garrison left by the Eighth Prince, and there was no local army, which looked good.
However, after Wancheng was flooded, the city walls were already somewhat rotten, and the houses in the city were flooded, and it is estimated that it will take some time to repair.
"Let's go, let's go see if Mingyang has beaten down."
As soon as Yun Xiaoshuang entered the city, she wanted to set off non-stop, but was stopped by Zhao Mocheng.
"I'll just go, you have a good rest, you've been tired these days, and we'll go back to the capital as soon as it's settled."
Zhao Mocheng asked her to sit down, and then commanded, his eyes full of distress.
Seeing him like this, Yun Xiaoshuang was very moved in her heart, but now she didn't want to rest, she just wanted to get rid of King Hecheng as soon as possible, and then return to the capital to live an ordinary life.
"Let's go together, catch King Hecheng as soon as possible, and we can return to the capital as soon as possible, so we don't have to be so tired."
Yun Xiaoshuang smiled, although she was very tired and tired, she could still persevere, she really didn't want to be separated from Zhao Mocheng for a moment.
Because of the amnesia before, she was very sad in her heart, but this time because she was trapped in the mountains and almost died, she didn't want to be separated from Zhao Mocheng at all.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Mocheng didn't stop him, he knew what she meant, although he wanted her to have a good rest, but he also wanted to stay with her.
After leaving the garrison to repair Wancheng, the two personally led an army of 120,000 to Mingyang.
Mingyang County is not far from Wancheng, and it is also the central city of Yuzhou, as long as Mingyang is occupied, the various cities and counties in Yuzhou will be cut off, and it is not impossible to catch King Hecheng.
At this time, the sky was already dark, but it did not delay the march, and when he arrived at Mingyang County, he found that the eighth prince was still attacking the city, and it seemed that it was difficult to defeat it.
"What's the matter, it's been so long, and you haven't beaten it yet?"
Yun Xiaoshuang walked over and asked urgently.
"King Hecheng is moving too fast, I just arrived in Mingyang County, the other party's support came, and now there are more than 50,000 people in Mingyang to defend the city, and it is not so easy to attack the city."
The eighth prince was also full of grievances, originally thought that Mingyang County was within reach, but who would have thought that the other party's reinforcements would arrive one step earlier than him.
Although he only had 20,000 men, the troops he brought with him were very strong, and he wanted to lead the other party out for a decisive battle.
But the other party just cowered in the city, and did not come out to meet the battle at all, so he had no choice but to attack the city.
The corners of Yun Xiaoshuang's mouth rose slightly, this is really not simple, the speed is really fast, it is estimated that he will send someone out after receiving the news, and there is no perfect person guarding Mingyang County, it is indeed not easy to fight.
"Retreat, Mingyang County is originally easy to defend and difficult to attack, 50,000 people are guarding it, and our 100,000 troops can't attack it, think of other ways."
Yun Xiaoshuang's eyes rolled, and then explained.
The eighth prince naturally knew this truth, but because he was unwilling, he ordered the siege of the city, and now it was pointed out by Yun Xiaoshuang, so he could only retreat.
The army retreated, and Mingyang County still stood there as if nothing had happened.
The camp has already been stationed, anyway, the people of Mingyang County will definitely not take the initiative to attack, then there will be only one way to die, and King Hecheng should have given a death order.
"What's next? I didn't expect that we had all gone through such a difficult time, and we were actually blocked under the small Mingyang County. ”
The eighth prince walked around the camp and was very anxious, after all, the emperor was already terminally ill at this time, and he was really worried.
So I really want to take down King Hecheng as soon as possible, and then go back early to see the emperor's situation.
"Don't worry, King Hecheng also knows the importance of Mingyang County, once Mingyang County is lost, he will have no capital to turn the tables, but as long as Mingyang County is still there, he can drag it on."
Yun Xiaoshuang said slightly, she already knew the heart of King Hecheng in her heart.
"Yes, I also know this, but if we don't take Mingyang County, it will be very difficult to capture Yuzhou."
The eighth prince nodded, he naturally knew this simple truth, but it was useless to know, he had to find a solution.
Zhao Mocheng didn't say a word at this time, but how could his confident appearance escape the eyes of the Eighth Prince.
"Mo Cheng, do you have a good way?"
Seeing him like this, the eighth prince was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
Zhao Mocheng didn't speak, but stretched out his hand and pointed on the map, and the location he pointed to was not Mingyang County, but Xiyang County behind Mingyang County.
"Xiyang County? You say let's fight Xiyang County? No, Mingyang County hasn't been beaten yet, Xiyang County is behind Mingyang County, and it is also the most central city in the entire Yuzhou. ”
"King Hecheng should be in Xiyang County, wouldn't it be a dead end to attack like this, Mingyang County can't be defeated, let alone Xiyang County."
The Eighth Prince looked at the map, then shook his head, thinking that Zhao Mocheng's method would not work, the fortifications of Xiyang County were stronger than those of Mingyang County, and it was also the place where King Hecheng was.
"Eighth Prince, things have to change your thinking and think about it, Xiyang County is not easy to attack, it's not just that we know, King Hecheng must also know, so we will definitely be surprised when we attack Xiyang County."
"And we don't have to attack the city, but print them out for field battle, this is our greatest advantage, as long as we can seduce them, we will win."
Yun Xiaoshuang explained that her thoughts, like Zhao Mocheng, were also to attack Xiyang County.
People can't hang themselves on a tree, since Mingyang County can't be defeated, then they can only change their thinking to fight other cities, Xiyang County is the best choice, go straight to Huanglong.
"But the question is, how can we seduce them out?"
The eighth prince nodded, but he thought of the crux of the problem, even the people of Mingyang County knew that they couldn't hold on, didn't King He Cheng know?
It's not easy to seduce him, and even if he does, King Hecheng won't be too far away from Xiyang County, and it's not impossible to escape back.
"Then it depends on whether our acting is realistic or not, King Hecheng is indeed very powerful, but he has a fatal weakness, that is, he is in a hurry, as long as we act realistically, he will definitely come out."
Yun Xiaoshuang smiled faintly, after such a long battle, she had already grasped the character of King Hecheng, as long as it was arranged according to his character, it would not be a problem to draw it out.
The eighth prince looked at her as if he didn't understand, and Yun Xiaoshuang beckoned the two of them over, and then whispered his plan.
And from the next day, every day, the eighth prince personally attacked the city with an army of 20,000, but every time it ended in failure.
But the loss was not big, because it was not really a siege, it was just a show, but the acting was very realistic, at least it scared the people of Mingyang County.
After besieging the city for three days in a row, the eighth prince shouted and scolded angrily under the city, looking at it like that, he was so angry that he was a little crazy, so that the defenders of Mingyang County looked at him like a joke.
And Yun Xiaoshuang, who was sitting in the big camp, saw the appearance of the Eighth Prince, covered her mouth and giggled, this Eighth Prince's acting did have a set.
At this time, there were less than 5,000 people left in the camp except her, and the rest and Zhao Mocheng were gone.
The siege of the city for three consecutive days made the eighth prince a little disheartened, after all, he couldn't fight no matter how he fought, so he simply retreated directly.
The camp was uprooted, and then the army retreated towards Wancheng, and the dust behind them was overwhelming, and the defenders of Mingyang County saw this situation and knew that their army of more than 100,000 people had really withdrawn.
"Haha, hurry up and tell King Hecheng that they have withdrawn, and King Hecheng's method has worked, and this kind of retreat is dusty and uneven, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance."
Seeing this situation, the defenders of Mingyang County were very unremitting, because the retreat was so scattered, it seemed that the Eighth Prince's arrival with Bing Ikan would not be good.
Soon, the news spread to Xiyang County, and King Cheng directly took the case.
"Haha, okay, I thought he was so powerful, but so, pass my order, I will personally lead the army to chase and kill."
King Kazusei put on his armor and then gave the order, and the people around him had long been accustomed to it and didn't say anything.
The reason why King Hecheng lived a very nourishing life in Jiangzhou and made the Qiang people submit to him completely relied on his iron-fisted methods.
Although he is in a hurry to do things, he is very good at leading soldiers, and he rushes to the front every time he fights, leading by example, and the soldiers he leads are naturally very fierce.
Moreover, he led the troops and was very loved by his soldiers, so this time he personally attacked, and the people below were used to it.
King Hecheng put on his armor, took his weapon, and rode to the front of the troops.
"Brothers, if we win this battle, the world will be ours, they can't capture Mingyang County, they have already run away, we must win a big victory in this pursuit, rush with me."
King Hecheng shouted, and the army behind him also shouted, and then went out of the city directly, this time he took the 50,000 troops of Xiyang City, leaving only 3,000 people to defend the city.
Because he was desperate for this, he thought that the Eighth Prince and others would not be able to capture Mingyang County, and had already withdrawn towards Wancheng, and the pursuit was the best time at this time.
As long as he captures the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng, then he can get back what he lost before, and then he will still have a chance to counterattack the capital.
