Chapter 126 Burning the City ([-])

It's really unpredictable.

Even though he expected it to rain, Li Jiayuan was still dumbfounded at the scene in front of him.

But in the time for a cup of tea, the rain has changed from falling continuously to pouring.

You know it's late autumn now.

The so-called downpours were supposed to occur in summer.

Most of the autumn rain drifts like a curtain, boundless and hazy, and it is rare to have such a grand occasion.

"Li Duwei, I don't know anything about military affairs, but judging from the situation, I guess the bandits won't attack the city again today."

It was Xu Xuan, the prefect who said this.

At this time, he looked around and saw that although the soldiers on the top of the city had never shouted because of Li Jiayuan's good command of the army, they all looked excited, couldn't help stroking their beards and smiling, and asked in a good mood.

"I wish they would come now." Li Jiayuan, who came back to his senses, let out a long breath and replied with a smile.

"Hahaha."

After laughing for a while, Xu Xuan went straight down to the top of the wall.

This rain came just in time.

What a timely rain!

While feeling emotional in his heart, Xu Xuan urgently ordered the officials to prepare thick rain gear and clothing to ensure the health and safety of the city defense soldiers.

While arranging people to go to the city to make a big announcement.

It is nothing more than announcing that the rain is coming in a timely manner, which is "the sky does not help the thief", so as to inspire people and boost morale.

As for Li Jiayuan on the top of the wall, although he didn't dare to relax his vigilance completely, but seeing the rain getting heavier, the heart that was always held in the air because of the unexplainable uneasiness gradually let go.

What he just said was the truth.

If the thieves really took advantage of the rain to attack the city, they really lost their minds and sought their own death!

As the saying goes, one autumn rain and one cool.

Now that the season is approaching winter, the weather is already getting colder and colder. With the addition of this shower, the rate of decrease in the atmosphere will be exacerbated.

What is the virtue of the peasant uprising army?
As a member of Cao Jun who defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Li Jiayuan knew it all too well.

No matter the clothing to keep out the cold or the means of curing diseases and preventing diseases, they are quite lacking.

And that poor sanitation and physical fitness.
If he dared to attack the city in the rain, Li Jiayuan would really spare more survivors and send them back.

They must be carrying cold and cold and other killer weapons.

A large-scale disease outbreak may directly form!

Not long after, the entire city of Linzi was plunged into a sea of ​​joy.

Needless to say, the big gentry.

Originally, before dawn today, Li Jiayuan made an emergency mobilization, which enveloped the whole city with the atmosphere of a big war coming. They were so well-informed and naturally reacted at the first moment, so they were worried.

Seeing this rain now, these knowledgeable elites are naturally ecstatic.

They also felt that the rain came just in time!
At the critical moment, the thieves' siege rhythm was disrupted, so that Linzi's city defense could be rested in time.

It's heaven's work!
Some young scholars couldn't help but climb high and look far away, reciting poems and composing Fu, the content of which was nothing more than the fate of the Han court, and the life of the thief is not long.

The people in the city finally understood the preciousness of this rain.

And the cheers after them were the loudest.

Originally, these low-level people would not like the rain in autumn.

We must know that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and autumn rain is as expensive as oil.
But it is "thunder strikes autumn, winter half harvest".

Rainy days and little sunshine will directly affect the harvesting and drying of rice grains.

But at this time, everyone knows the priorities. Compared with the affected farm work, the thieves' offensive is more gratifying.

"Reporting to Shuai Qu, General Tiangong refused to attack the city today on the pretext of heavy rain and unfavorable weather."

After hearing what the soldiers brought back, Xu He looked calm on the surface, just nodded, and waved him out.

It's just that the personal soldiers just got out of the tent, and before they walked a few steps, they heard an ear-shattering sound.

boom!
He followed the prestige, but saw Zheng Lai in the handsome tent who had just left.

He is so handsome that he threw something.
Thinking of the objects that Xu He was playing with when he entered the tent just now, the soldier sighed with some distress, then shrank his head, tiptoed and walked lightly, and walked carefully into the distance.

In the big tent at this time.

Xu He, who was alone, didn't need to hide anymore, his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.

When he woke up early in the morning and saw the sky, his heart skipped a beat.

When the air was getting humid, Xu He hurriedly sent people to urge Wang Zheng to attack the city before the rain fell.
As a result, as soon as the sent people arrived at the other party's camp, it started to rain, and Wang Zheng made an excuse to wait until the rain stopped.

Waiting for the rain to get heavier and heavier, but he rejected his request straight away.

This made Xu He very annoyed, but he had no words to question.

After all, heavy rain is not conducive to siege, this is common sense, and he, Xu He, is also aware of this.

It's just that the unknown fire in my heart grew bigger with the rain.

Never leave early, never leave late.

When it was the turn of the stick, he just dropped it.
It's so big!

"My god, what a bad thing!"

He scolded bitterly.

Originally today Xu He was waiting to see how Wang Zheng was caught in a dilemma, and he was planning to send someone to persuade him to deceive him because he was young and vigorous, and it would be best to encourage him to send the main force to charge.

As a result, when it rained, it not only gave the other party an excuse not to speak up today.

According to the situation, it is estimated that it will last for a few days.
On the day when the sky clears, the refugees gathered by the other party in the past few days, I am afraid that the refugees gathered in the past few days will really be deceived by him into taking the initiative to die!
After all, Zhang Jiao is the reincarnation of Zhang Jiao, who is used to pretending to be a ghost!

It's really annoying and hateful!
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more he looked at it, the more disturbed he became, Xu He snapped at the table.

"Come on!"

"Prepare delicious food and wine, and go to the refugees to choose some good women to be musicians and singers."

"Call all the generals and officers of the army to come to my tent. Today, I will hold a banquet to celebrate my achievements."

"Here"

At this time, in the Tianjun barracks.

Wang Zheng is also leading all the soldiers to stare at the majestic city ahead.

Seeing that the rain is getting heavier.

What's more, the wind on Pingwu kept blowing like an accomplice, rolling up cold rain and hitting the face.

"My god, what a bad thing!"

After wiping a few handfuls indiscriminately, and wiping the moisture off his face, Wu Sheng also cursed bitterly.

Others such as Xu Fang Yu Jin and others also frowned tightly, looking gloomy.

Just last night.

Wang Zhengben has called a meeting of all the people and decided to launch a general attack today.

If these words fell into the ears of Xu He, Chen Jiao, Li Jiayuan and others, they would be extremely surprised.

But within the Sky Army, it was not surprising.

Driving refugees is a method used by other peasant rebels, but it is not the style of the Heavenly Army.

Since the uprising, they have always relied on the main force to attack Zhao County and defeat Guangrao.

Linzi City is an exception.

Because the city wall is too high and the moat is too wide.

If the previous siege method is used, the damage will be too great. Not to mention Wang Zheng's distress, Yu Jin, Xu Fang and others are reluctant to give up, even the careless Wu Sheng is extremely reluctant.

Now that these two natural barriers have been crossed, in the eyes of everyone, it is the most time-saving and labor-saving to go directly to the main force!

After holding back for more than 20 days, a group of young people couldn't bear their temper.

What's more, watching a group of old, weak, sick and disabled go to die, this group of people, more or less, probably feel a little uncomfortable.

Compared with other insurgents, this army has fighting spirit, blood, and pride.

It's just that God is not beautiful
Everyone was rubbing their hands and feet all night, and when they were so excited that they couldn't sleep, they just got out of the tent this morning, and poured a basin of cold water on their heads.

This rain came at an inopportune time.

Especially after Yu Jin explained the common sense of "rainy weather is unfavorable and siege" to everyone, everyone deeply understood this point.

The impact of the torrential rain and wind seems to be the same for both offensive and defensive sides, but it is not.

Just like the most basic long-range attack, when the strings of the bow and crossbow are also damp, the strength and accuracy will be weakened. The way, not only can't shoot high, but also can't shoot far, and can't shoot accurately.

Not to mention the slope formed by the sand, it directly turned into mud.

The key is
The defenders of the city have roof tiles to cover their heads, and they can build a shed or something to wait for work.

To attack the city, you have to brave the rain in the open air.

Especially in such cold rain, the physical exertion is doubled.

Based on the average physique of soldiers in this world, Yu Jin saw that if it rained and attacked the city, it would directly cause large-scale injuries.

At this moment when everyone was downcast and cursing, Wang Zheng suddenly chuckled a few times.

He tilted his head and scolded Wu Sheng: "Don't talk nonsense."

"This rain came at the right time, it can be said that Huang Tian blessed us, come and cheer for us!"

what?
This pure blocking behavior has become Huang Tian's blessing?

Still cheering?
When everyone heard the words, they were all speechless, with stunned expressions on their faces.

Looking around at the crowd, Wang Zheng shrugged and suddenly asked a strange question.

"You guys, have you heard that?"

"General, what did you hear?" Xu Fang couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Cheers from the people of Linzi." Wang Zheng smiled, and patted the scabbard on his waist with his left hand.

Everyone listened attentively.

Although the distance is far away, after several upgrades of the system, everyone's physique is extraordinary, coupled with the collective cheers of a city, even if they are far away, they can indeed hear the noise and laughter brought by the blast.

Vague, slight, but full of joy.

Wang Zheng looked at Yu Jin: "Colonel Yu, why does this sound come from?"

"Of course it's because of the rain." Yu Jin replied in a deep voice:
"The other side has persisted for more than half a month, even if the soldiers are rotated, these days I am afraid that they have already been exhausted mentally and physically exhausted."

"This rain is very heavy, and it may not only be today, but will continue for several days."

"If you can stay for a few days, it will be a few days for the Linzi army to rest and recuperate."

"This rain, for them, is really timely rain."

"More than that." Wang Zheng said with a smile: "When it rains heavily, the water level of the moat may rise, and the slope formed by the wall will be washed away by the rain. After that, the temperature will drop sharply, typhoid fever will spread, morale will be low, and equipment will be damaged."

He counted with his fingers, and every time he said a word, everyone's expressions became gloomy.

"What does the general mean?" Pan Zhang was the first to react, and said in surprise, "can't be delayed?"

"Not bad!"

Wang Zheng bowed his waist slightly, leaned forward slightly, and looked ahead coldly through the silver thread like silk and feathers.

Like a hunter watching his prey.

"I was a little hesitant about launching a general attack at this time, but when it rained, it was Huang Tian who made it clear to strengthen my fighting spirit!"

"But General, as Colonel Yu said, it's raining so hard." Xu Fang couldn't help persuading him: "For my soldiers to attack the city, it's really true."

"Our heavenly army has divine power, how can we generalize it!"

Wang Zheng cut it off with a wave of his hand, and said: "Besides, the other party must think that we will not attack the city today."

"Even if we attack the city, the strength will not be too great."

"Now the whole city is cheering, which proves that everyone on the other side agrees. It's hard to say whether morale will increase, but this tense string will definitely relax!"

Hearing this, Yu Jin and Pan Zhang's eyes lit up at the same time, and they blurted out at the same time.

"Surprise?"

"Attack the unprepared!" Wang Zheng shouted in a deep voice, "Today, Linzi will be destroyed!"

The charm of thirty o'clock was fully exerted, and everyone felt great pride in their hearts, and their morale was greatly boosted.

"General, I'm going to gather soldiers and prepare to attack the city!"

At this moment, Wu Sheng also came to his senses, and shouted:
"The final general is willing to bring all the soldiers of the Tianzhu camp to the first wave!"

"Don't be in a hurry, we have to catch everyone by surprise, and wait a little longer."

Wang Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's not want the bad guys to get excited, let the other party have fun for a while."

"That's right." Yu Jin clapped his hands fiercely, and echoed, "The longer the enemy relaxes, the looser their morale will be. It will be difficult to get up again."

"Ha." Wang Zheng pointed at each other, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

This method was used to attack Zhao County in the forbidden area that day.

Unlike the fierce fighting that started at dawn in the past, the No. 18 day of the siege has passed from Chenshi to Sishi.

Both inside and outside the city are still calm.

At this time, the atmosphere in Xu He's tent became more and more enthusiastic, and he was also drunk and sleepy.

Chen Jiaofang came to a scolding competition, and countless obscenities were being greeted to a certain person.

Li Jiayuan still guarded the city head dutifully, but he also asked his personal guards to warm a pot of wine to drive away the cold.

The rain was getting heavier and the sky was overcast.

This day makes most people's vision greatly limited.

None of them saw that groups of people and horses in a certain camp were constantly surging like an undercurrent.

Tianzhu Camp, Tiangang Army, Tianfu Army, Tianxiong Army.
Just as Wang Zheng said, this rain came just in time for him.

Let him mobilize his troops as much as he wants, and when he is ready to attack with all his strength, he avoids everyone's eyes and ears almost perfectly.

Whether it is the official army or the allied forces.

Autumn is deep and cold.

The autumn wind is wrapped in cold rain, flapping the flags on the school grounds, rustling and rolling, and making the torches inserted in the tents also light up and dim, making people feel that they will be extinguished in the next moment.

Everyone stared ahead at the same time.

That is the general Tiangong who rode his horse and swung his whip forward.

He turned his head and met everyone's gaze, looking forward to show his power.

"What is this?"

Spreading out the palm, showing the residue in the palm to everyone, Wang Zheng asked.

"rain!"

"rainwater!"

Although they didn't understand what it meant, everyone responded loudly at the same time. Although their words were different, their voices still resounded through the heaven and earth, straight into the sky.

"wrong!"

Wang Zheng said with emotion: "This is the wine that Huang Tian made for me!"

After all, he galloped out of the camp, showed his face to the sky, and let the rain sway wantonly.

At the same time, all the heavenly armies came out in full force, and the wind passed over the camp, touching tents, flagpoles, spears and other things, clanging like gold and iron.

At this moment, there is no sound of rain, but the footsteps of soldiers and the hooves of war horses.

On the top of the wall, Li Jiayuan's complexion changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly.

Inside the camp, Xu He was stunned, and the wine bowl fell to the ground with a plop.

At this time, the soldiers of the Heavenly Army showed their faces and looked up to the sky like a king, allowing the rain to sway wantonly and shouting in unison.

"Heavenly wine!"

"Heavenly wine!"

"Heavenly wine!"

Mountains and valleys responded, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, the momentum of the whole army climbed to the extreme, everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they didn't feel the rain was cold at all.

Boom boom boom!
Thunder exploded, and the gloomy sky suddenly brightened!
The entire plain was so silent that a needle could be heard falling, and even the sound of rain seemed to have subsided.

Only one person's voice echoed in the vast world.

"What does it sound like?"

In the crowd, Wu Sheng and other generals shouted.

"This is Huang Tian's drumbeat to cheer us on!"

Under the mysterious influence of the system, coupled with the previous foreshadowing, almost all people shouted in unison:

"Tianwei!"

"Tianwei!"

"Tianwei!"

"kill!"

As soon as Wang Zheng's rein is lifted, it is like a sharp arrow driving straight.

Countless black torrents followed closely behind, rushing away with a turbulent momentum.

Ahead is Linzi.

 Unknowingly wrote more than 4000 words. . . .Mission accomplished today. . .
