"Evacuate! Enter the city!"
Li Cheng was the first to react. No matter what the thieves were, it would be impossible to fight in this heavy rain. The ground was muddy in the rain, making it difficult for cavalry and infantry to move. Moreover, fighting in the heavy rain could easily catch wind and cold and cause an outbreak of plague.

The frightened army scrambled to enter the city. The people in Zengtou City reacted the fastest. The cavalry directly occupied the city gate first and blocked the others from outside.
"Ha ha!"
Looking at the enemies rushing towards the city in a chaotic mess, Sun Lei laughed.
"It's really raining!"
Everyone looked at Gongsun Sheng and others on the Seven Star Altar in surprise.
"This raincoat is not in vain, it is really a good thing to prevent rain!"
Sun Lei pressed the brim of Fan Yangli's hat and said with a smile.
"Go back to camp!"
Sun Lei ordered to the army.
In the Liangshan Military Camp, all the tents have been made of logs, and waterproofing has been done on top of the tents to ensure the dryness of the tents.
"Master Gongsun, Master Qiao, and brothers Fan Rui, thank you for your hard work."
Sun Lei looked at the three people who were soaked and said with a smile, because facing the wind and rain on the Seven Star Altar, all three of them turned into drowned rats.
"Brother, it will rain heavily for three or four days!"
Gongsun Shen said with a smile and cupped his fists.
"Three or four days! Okay, that's enough!"
Sun Lei smiled and nodded. Three days of heavy rain like this are enough to do a lot of things.
"Tao Zongwang, take two thousand soldiers to the west of Gaotang Prefecture to cut off the river. I will flood Gaotang Prefecture!"
Sun Lei looked at Tao Zongwang and said.
"Brother, are you preparing for a water attack?"
Only then did everyone understand Sun Lei's intention. The heavy rain would cause the river to surge, and the conditions for a water attack would be ready.
"Yes, this time the enemy is stronger and takes the initiative. It won't be worthwhile for us to fight hard."
Sun Lei nodded with a smile and said, Gaotang Prefecture now has more than 40,000 troops, including 30,000 in Daming Prefecture, 10,000 in Lingzhou, Kouzhou, and Zengtou City, and 6,000 cavalry in Zengtou City.
The terrain near Gaotangzhou was not dangerous, and there were few things that could stop the cavalry. So after he heard that it would rain heavily, he thought of using heavy rain to stop the cavalry and then attack with water.
"Master Lu, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, and Pang Wanchun led their troops to cover in batches."
Sun Lei looked at the others and said, "I am blocking the river to accumulate water. Gaotangzhou cannot just sit idly by and ignore it."
"Yes, brother!"
Everyone stood up and cupped their fists.
The downpour showed no sign of stopping, and everyone who returned to the city looked unhappy. The enemy could control the situation, which was not a good thing no matter how you thought about it, and they had no way to deal with it.
Seeing everyone's silence, Song Jiang was in a good mood. He was not the strongest in this army, and he did not have much say. This difficult situation was most beneficial to him.
"The thief can call the wind and rain, so how can we fight him?"
Zeng Tu looked at Gao Lian and asked, this kind of enemy is no longer something they can deal with.
"There must be something wrong here!"
Gao Lian saw that everyone was looking over and immediately spoke. At this time, people were panicking and he had to stabilize these reinforcements.
"What's the problem? We have seen with our own eyes that the enemy is making all kinds of noises."
Zeng Mi said, they are here to deal with ordinary enemies, not monsters.
"No one can call the wind and rain, it must be a cover-up. Raining is very common in this season!"
Li Cheng said that as a soldier, he did not believe in these ghosts and gods. Although the enemy did succeed in calling the wind and rain today, when he calmed down, he still firmly believed that there was something wrong inside.
"What's the use of guessing, why not go out and fight for a while!"
Lu Junyi said.
"How can it rain so hard? I got stuck in the mud as soon as I left the city!"
Wei Dingguo shook his head and said, he is a divine fire general and is best at using fire. This kind of heavy rain is what he hates the most.
"Everyone, please be patient. It's just a heavy rain. He asked for rain successfully. How long will it last? It will stop in a few days at most. The sun is strong at this time of year, and the ground will be dry in two days!" It’s time for us to go out of the city and kill the enemy!”
Gao Lian looked at everyone and said, all they have to do is wait a few days.
"Don't worry, everyone, Chai Jin is still in jail. It's not us who should be worried, it's Sun Lei!"
Gao Lian laughed again. He also had a trump card - Chai Jin. Now that he thought about it, it was a wise move not to kill Chai Jin.
"Yes, Sun Lei is here to save Chai Jin this time!"
Shi Wengong and the five tigers of the Zeng family laughed when they heard this. Why should they be afraid of Sun Lei when they have hostages in hand.
Li Cheng, Suo Chao, Lu Junyi and other people from Daming Mansion had different expressions. They did not want Chai Jin, the hostage, to make a fuss. This would damage the reputation of the army. Disgraceful things like kidnapping and extortion should be done by thieves. of.
Song Jiang had another thought.
Song Jiang didn't want to do this. He was famous in the world for his timely righteousness and wealth, helping those in need.
Chai Jin is a well-known and extravagant hero in the world. It would be unjust for him not to rescue him. If he takes Chai Jin as a hostage again, his reputation in the world will be ruined.
Although Song Jiang is now in imperial court, he still cares about his reputation in the world. After all, he has no connections in the officialdom. His connections are all in the world.
"Report, no, the enemy is cutting off the river upstream!"
A soldier hurriedly ran into the government office and shouted.
"What? Up the river!"
Gao Lian's expression changed drastically when he heard this. The so-called river was the river flowing through Gaotang Prefecture.
"No, the thieves will learn from Guan Yu and use heavy rain to accumulate river water and pour it into Gaotang Prefecture!"
Holy Water General Shan Tinggui immediately stood up and looked outside in horror. If the pouring rain continued, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Flooded!"
The rest of the people couldn't sit still anymore. Now they didn't care about the enemies who could control the situation. If the water flooded the city, none of them would survive.
"Quick, get out of the city!"
Zeng Tu said to the brothers around him that they were cavalry and could always run through the flood as long as they left the city. If they were in the city, they would be waiting to die.
"Get ready to leave the city!"
Li Cheng also looked at Suo Chao, Lu Junyi and Song Jiang and said.
"But with this heavy rain, where can we go?"
Deng Long pointed to the pouring rain outside. What was the difference between going out in this weather and seeking death? Li Zhong, Yan Shun and others next to them were also unwilling to leave the city.
Soon, there were more and more voices of opposition, and a few brothers in Zengtou City even had a dispute.
The inconvenience of marching out of the city in heavy rain is a minor matter. The wind is cold and the rain is cold. It is unbearable for the body to be wet all the time. Moreover, there is no way to make a fire to cook on a rainy day. How can there be so much dry food for tens of thousands of people? Going out in the rain and still hungry is like going out. Just to die.
"Let's go take a look first! It's not safe to leave the city rashly. Then Sun Lei may be ambushing outside the city."
Song Jiang looked at Li Cheng and said, he was not willing to take people out of the city in this weather.
Everyone finally reached a consensus and walked to the city wall together. Through the misty rain and fog, they saw the enemy under construction on the river in the distance.
The prototype of a water village has been built. The water level of the river flowing through Gaotang Prefecture has not risen at all. How could the water level not rise on such a heavy rain day? This makes everyone even more uneasy.
"They are blocking the river water and they are really going to flood Gaotang Prefecture!"
Shan Tinggui looked at all this and still didn't understand what the enemy wanted to do.
