Chapter 274
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about anything anymore. Since the Prime Minister has suggested a water attack, let's go for a water attack. I will gather my manpower now and go dig the Jinjiang water immediately while the heavy rain continues!" Li Jing shouted solemnly.
"Okay!" Tang Yu responded.
In Jingzhou City, Ye Yuanba was extremely worried when he saw the heavy rain and the cold wind.
Originally, he wanted to take Yangzhou City in one go, but he never dreamed that it would suddenly rain heavily. It didn't matter, it continued to rain for more than ten days.
It was now autumn, and after heavy rain, the soldiers were susceptible to wind and cold. In order to stabilize the overall situation, Ye Yuanba had no choice but to wait until the weather cleared before launching a forceful attack on Yangzhou City.
Qin Mang took advantage of this opportunity to mobilize troops from the rear.
However, the Tang Dynasty had limited soldiers. Even if he continued to mobilize troops, the number would still be very few.
"It's finally sunny!"
"No problem!" Ye Yuanhong responded.
Inside Fengming Mountain, Tang Yu's face turned gloomy when he saw that the sky was gradually getting clearer.
Remember https://m in one second.
He found Meng Tian and asked, "How's it going? Isn't Li Jing done yet?"
"Your Highness, the Jinjiang River is too far away from Jingzhou City, and there are many underground stones, making it extremely difficult to dig. Now that the weather is clear, Li Jing and the others do not dare to do construction openly. If the Chu army discovers it, our plan will be discovered!" Meng Tian said solemnly.
Tang Yu waved his hand: "No, it's been too long. I can't afford to wait, and neither can the defenders in Yangzhou City. In this way, Meng Tian, you lead 10,000 brothers to build rafts on the mountain, and I will lead the remaining 40,000 brothers. Support Li Jing and be sure to finish digging the ditch before tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Meng Tian responded.
After giving the instructions, Tang Yu led 40,000 troops to reinforce Li Jing without hesitation.
With the arrival of 40,000 people, the total number of people on Li Jing's side reached 140,000. 140,000 people were digging at the same time. Although everyone was not professional, the efficiency was greatly improved.
Early the next morning, the trench was finally dug, and Tang Yu was so tired that he sat on the ground.
Li Jing asked excitedly: "Your Highness, are we going to take action when the water attack comes?"
"Take action! We must take action!"
Tang Yu solemnly nodded and said: "Even if the Chu army is flooded, we probably won't be able to do it with our 50,000 men. You must help, but the efficiency must be fast. The battlefield must be cleaned before Qin Mang arrives, and then you can continue secretly Hibernating!”
"General Li, you have to know that you are the trump card in my hand. In the future, there will be fights in the court. Since you are the trump card, you cannot be exposed too early. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Jing responded respectfully.
Just when the Chu army led by Ye Yuanba in Jingzhou City thought that they were about to break through Yangzhou City, a danger suddenly appeared.
