When Li Feng first heard Xu Gongmao's words, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"The entire Cangmang Mountain belongs to this divine general. No matter how powerful Chen Changfeng is, he would not dare to come to Cangmang Mountain to ambush." Li Fengxian waved his hand and said.
My mood has improved a lot.
Although this plan against Chen Changfeng was just a hint, as long as the third prince of the Ming Dynasty controlled the military power of the Ming Dynasty's border army, it would be his turn to reap the rewards, Li Fengxian.
Recapture Yongding City, capture another hundred miles of the Ming Dynasty, and even capture Chen Changfeng.
The frustrations and humiliations of the past can disappear in a day.
Xu Gongmao nodded slightly and said nothing more.
So far, everything is going according to plan.
As the night slowly fell, Li Fengxian and his people quietly left Yong'an City.
Except for a few common people in the entire Yong'an City, there were no soldiers from the Chu army to conquer the South.
At the embankment of Hanjiang River, Candidate led 20,000 troops to ambush here.
Not far away is the camp of the Ming Dynasty frontier army, and you can still hear the sound of the Han River water lapping at the river bank.
The candidate looks up at the full moon in the sky.
At this moment, there is still half an hour before midnight, and the candidates are shivering from the cold, and the officers and soldiers of the Dachu Zhengnan Army behind them are also trembling.
But no one made any sound.
"Inspect carefully and don't let anyone sneak in!" The sound of Ming Dynasty border troops patrolling came from the front.
The candidate squeezed the weapon in his hand, and as long as someone came even slightly closer, he would kill them immediately.
But the Ming Dynasty border troops did not come over. They just lay down by the river and washed their faces, and then turned around and went back.
This gave the candidates some relief.
The neighing of military horses could be heard from the distant river embankment, and it was obvious that the other side was also making final preparations.
"Send the order, we will only attack for a quarter of an hour. When the time comes, we will retreat immediately." The candidate felt that time was almost up, so he immediately turned around and ordered.
The order was conveyed quickly, just a quarter of an hour before midnight.
"Kill!" the candidate shouted and ran straight ahead to the Ming Dynasty military camp.
"Kill!" The officers and soldiers of the Chu Zhengnan Army behind him also came to kill him with their swords.
…
The third prince is anxious!
Seeing that it was almost time, there was no movement at all from Li Fengxian's side.
If Li Fengxian didn't send someone here, how could the third prince be cleared of suspicion?
Or if Li Fengxian's troops in the city didn't withdraw, Chen Changfeng would get a huge advantage.
The third prince was anxious to death.
Just as he was about to find Liu Shenyan to find a solution, he suddenly heard shouts of death coming from afar.
The third prince immediately stood up with a happy face.
"Your Highness, the Chu army from the south is attacking. They are large in number, probably nearly 20,000 people." A general ran in to report.
The third prince immediately pretended to be angry: "Stop them. No matter what, we must not let them block the embankment digging plan."
"Yes!" The general took the order and left.
Liu Shenyan quickly walked into the camp, with a happy face on his face.
Their plan was considered successful, and now they only need to wait for Li Fengxian's people to retreat.
"Your Highness, it's time to go on stage." Liu Shenyan said with a smile.
"Let's go!" The third prince looked happy and walked out of the tent immediately.
Outside the camp, shouts of killing could be heard in the distance, and many soldiers gathered around to protect the safety of the third prince.
"Everyone, follow me to repel the enemy!" the third prince shouted loudly.
"Your Highness, the enemy troops are numerous and it is too dangerous for you to go over there." A lieutenant tried to stop the third prince's actions.
But the third prince just wanted to perform well in front of everyone, so why would he stay here?
"Danger?"
"Isn't it dangerous for soldiers to fight hard?"
"The prince has entrusted us with such an important task, so we have the responsibility to complete it on time."
"Everyone, follow me and charge, and you must not let the enemy stop the dike digging." The third prince shouted, and rushed towards the enemy at the head of the horse.
…
The candidate chopped down several soldiers of the Ming border army, then raised his head and looked around.
It was almost midnight and they could retreat.
"Everyone, retreat immediately," the candidate shouted.
The Chu Zhengnan Army, which had not been in contact with the Ming Dynasty's border troops for a long time, heard the sound of gold and immediately retreated to the rear.
Before the Ming Dynasty frontier troops could pursue them, they had already disappeared into the vast night.
"These people just gave up?" The Ming Dynasty border army general looked puzzled.
"Leave them alone and dig the embankment immediately." The third prince rode to the side and gave the order immediately.
The general nodded. Their most important task was to dig up the embankments of the culverts and flood the city.
"Pass my order to immediately dig up the river embankments and release water to flood the city." The general quickly passed down the order.
Near the Hanjiang embankment, the already shaky embankment suddenly collapsed as soon as Zishi arrived.
A huge gap of two hundred meters appeared in front of everyone.
The white river water sloped down with overwhelming force, and the big trees and houses under the river embankment were completely wiped out in an instant.
The vast river rushed towards Yong'an City.
The third prince and Liu Shenyan, who were standing on the river embankment, looked at each other and smiled, both looking forward to tomorrow.
…
The huge roar woke up the people of Yong'an City at night.
Looking at the mighty river, everyone climbed up to their houses in fear.
Many people even climbed directly onto the city wall. What was strange was that there was no one on the wall.
On Cangman Mountain, Li Fengxian walked out of his tent and heard a roar from Yong'an City in the distance, like the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking.
Li Fengxian had a smile on his face.
He thought that Chen Changfeng's plan had made him lonely, and now Li Fengxian only had to wait for the third prince of the Ming Dynasty to regain military power, and then force the third prince of the Ming Dynasty to give up Yongding City and the one hundred miles of Ming Dynasty territory with a blood letter.
Li Fengxian was very happy to be able to retake Yongding City without any effort, gain access to a hundred miles of the Ming Dynasty territory, and even hold the handle on the third prince of the Ming Dynasty.
"Mr. Xu, you see the water is rising quite fast." Li Fengxian pointed to the river winding at the foot of the mountain and looked at Xu Gongmao with a smile.
Xu Gongmao nodded slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth in the darkness, and then quickly disappeared.
"Lord General, are all our ships here?" Xu Gongmao suddenly asked.
"We're all here, what's wrong?" Li Fengxian replied casually.
"It's okay." Xu Gongmao shook his head.
Li Fengxian didn't ask further questions. He was very impressed by the dog-eat-dog plot between the third prince of the Ming Dynasty and Chen Changfeng.
Now I just wait for the river to recede and then I can take advantage of the third prince of the Ming Dynasty.
"Master General, the night wind is too strong. Go in and rest early." Xu Gongmao stroked his beard that was blown by the wind.
Li Feng nodded first and then walked into his tent.
At the other end of Cangmang Mountain, the soldiers arranged by Li Fengxian set up camp here and were responsible for the security here.
Although Li Fengxian said he was not too worried, after all, hundreds of thousands of troops were in the mountains. If they were really ambushed, it would be a big loss.
So he arranged for soldiers to be on duty every one kilometer.
Now that the rushing river water is roaring from the foot of the mountain, the soldiers on guard can't worry anymore.
They also checked all the nearby mountains and forests, and no one was hiding here at all.
The night was getting darker, and except for the bonfires in the camp, all the Chu soldiers were sleeping in their tents.
At dawn, the momentum of the river gradually subsided, and at a glance, the river was full of water everywhere.
Hundreds of small boats suddenly came from afar on the wind, and within a moment they approached Cangmang Mountain.
