Rumble——

Zheng Yuanyun, who was waiting outside Xilong City, suddenly heard a loud noise like thunder.

This made his expression change drastically, and he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

At the end of the river, a wide wall of water two feet high was rushing towards them. Its momentum was so strong that it made people feel terrified at first sight.

"How can it be!"

Zheng Yuanyun's expression changed drastically. Wasn't this Hong Feng whom he had just ordered his men to block no matter what, preventing the opponent from opening the gate?

Why so fast?

Judging from the situation at the scene, it is actually not a good time to open the gate now, because Zheng Yuanyun ordered the catapult troops to throw stones into the river only at the beginning.

At this moment, he still had plenty of ammunition, and the rocks on the bottom of the river had not yet accumulated enough to rise to the surface.

If the opponent wanted to use water attacks to make his efforts in vain, then no matter how you looked at it, he should have waited a while before launching this second move.

It would be too impatient to start it now.

This is why even though Zheng Yuanyun had his scouts discover the location of the dam before, he was not very urgent in ordering people to deal with it.

When he thought about it, he should have delayed it a little further, which would be the best time to start.

The water came a little early!

After being surprised, he calmed down.

Fortunately, although his army was close to the river bank, it was still some distance away. The flood peak and water wall were fierce, but they would not cause any damage to his place.

The only loss may be the stones that were previously driven into the river.

It was just rocks, and there was no big loss. Not to mention that his reserve ammunition was still sufficient. Even if it was not enough, it would not take much trouble to replenish it with local materials.

On the contrary, the flood peak was previously blocked by a dam, so after the gates were opened and the water was released, the first wave of water was very turbulent, but after this wave of peaks, the flow rate of the water will inevitably become gentle.

At that time, if he asks the soldiers to throw stones, Xilong City will be unable to do anything to him.

It's just that the water level in the river has risen and he needs to put in more stones.

Faint move!

When he thought of this, a sneer flashed across the corner of Zheng Yuanyun's mouth. The coach of Xilongcheng made this move. Wasn't this a loss of consciousness?

How could He De stop a general who couldn't even understand the situation?

"Send the order, everyone stop, wait until the water flow calms down a bit before launching the attack. In addition, order people to collect suitable stones everywhere to make up for the losses!"

Zheng Yuanyun spoke very quickly and issued orders in response to the current changes. At this moment, the look of surprise on his face no longer existed, replaced by a look of indifference.

Compared with Zheng Yuanyun's calmness, Ning Zhenggang at the head of Xilong City was furious.

"Who told you to call for water release now!?"

Ning Zhenggang also saw the roaring violent waves, and his face turned red with anger.

It was true that he asked people to open the gate and release the water, but he also calculated the time.

There is always someone guarding the dike, but the gate cannot be opened in advance without his order.

So when Ning Zhenggang saw Zheng Yuanyun's tactics, he began to send people over to give orders and calculate the time required for his men to travel. When his people arrived at the embankment, he took his orders and gave orders.

Open the gate and release the water, this time is just right.

However, his people should have just left not long ago, and there is no way they could have arrived near the dam now, let alone that they had already seen the violent water rushing over from upstream, which was even more inappropriate.

According to calculations, it should have been delayed for at least half an hour, which is a very suitable time.

In other words, although he was also thinking about opening the gate and releasing the water, in fact his men did not fully follow his instructions. For some unknown reason, they actually released the water in advance.

This ultimate move should have been reserved for the most critical moment to be used as a winner, but the key to victory cannot be now!

"damn it!"

Ning Zhenggang was furious, but for a moment he couldn't control it. He could only say angrily: "After this battle, I will kill all the people responsible for guarding the dam!"

How could he have imagined that the people who ruined his plan were not the soldiers guarding the embankment, but a third party force that had been hiding in secret.

Chen Ze.

As the person who issued this order, Chen Ze naturally knew the most suitable time to open the gate and release water relative to Xilong City.

But first, he also knew that Zheng Yuanyun had discovered the opponent's hidden backhand, and had also sent 100,000 cavalry to control the dam upstream.

The speed of the cavalry is so fast, and the number of them is a terrifying 100,000. How can it be compared to the hundreds of defenders guarding the embankment?

To put it bluntly, even spitting can drown the defenders.

Once Zheng Yuanyun takes over the dike, Chen Ze will only have Zhang Hualin available. Even if he has a general possessed, he can defeat hundreds of defenders, but Zhang Hualin is expected to fight against a hundred thousand cavalry alone?

Is that going to make you lose your loyalty?

The situation was urgent, and even though it was not the best time to attack, Chen Ze still decisively asked Zhang Hualin to cut off the iron rope.

In addition, the second point is that Chen Ze does not have to leave Zheng Yuanyun outside Xilong City.

If everything goes perfectly, and if there are any other back-ups in Xilong City, Zheng Yuanyun will despair and choose not to attack the city again?

There is no problem if he doesn't attack the city. After all, Zheng Yuanyun is setting out in a hurry just to get more benefits before the reinforcements arrive.

If nothing can be done, it is not impossible for him to retreat to Ketan City in order to preserve his strength.

Chen Ze didn't want Zheng Yuanyun to come back again.

Back in Ketan City, while waiting for reinforcements to arrive, didn't he want to do something?

For example... target Chen Ze?

This is not impossible.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Ze would not leave any hope to Zheng Yuanyun.

After all, the provincial capital of Nantes has nothing to do with him. Whether Zheng Yuanyun is defeated or not defeated, what Chen Ze has been planning is how to gain a foothold in this chaos.

Therefore, Zheng Yuanyun's capture of Xilong City was not without any benefit to Chen Ze, at least it would make him further away from Ketan City.

The farther you go, the safer Chen Ze is here. Until Zheng Yuanyun finally meets Ouyang Lixing head-on, and they fight each other, the reinforcements he has been waiting for have not arrived. At that time, Zheng Yuanyun should cry.

when.

So, the time is not suitable?
