The heavy rain showed no sign of slowing down at all. The sky seemed to be leaking, and endless rain was about to pour down. Qinbei Pavilion
"Ko Prefecture, the enemy must be stopped!"
Li Cheng looked at Gao Lian and said, the enemy has just built the dam and the water level is not high yet. It is still too late to destroy it. Once time goes by and the water level rises, destroying it will bring great danger.
"Follow me out of the city!"
Lu Junyi greeted the soldiers around him and went down to the city with a steel gun.
The heavy rain made the ground muddy, making it difficult for the soldiers to move forward. Even Lu Junyi could not ride his horse forward, so he could only dismount and walk slowly.
All this was clearly seen by everyone in the city. Even if Lu Junyi was like this, how much better would it be if they went out?
"How to fight in such heavy rain!"
Wei Dingguo sighed, and the others also felt sad.
"Lu Junyi, we meet again!"
Lu Zhishen led a team of people to stop Lu Junyi.
Lu Junyi said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on the dam being built behind Lu Zhishen.
"Last time it was a horse fight. This time we have a change of pace fight. Let's compete again."
Lu Zhishen waved his Zen staff and swept the water on the ground in front of him towards Lu Junyi.
Lu Junyi's expression changed and he quickly took two steps back. If the water wave swept up hit his eyes, his vision would be damaged.
Seeing Lu Junyi retreating, Lu Zhishen rushed forward with his water mill Zen staff, and hit Lu Junyi with one stroke of the Zen staff.
Lu Junyi had no choice but to raise his gun to block, and Lu Zhishen struck down hard with his staff. Lu Junyi took a hard move and felt a lot of pressure. Lu Zhishen's strength was obviously stronger in the foot fight than in the horse fight, and his moves were smoother.
Lu Zhishen used the Crazy Magic Wand and started to attack wildly. In the violent wind and rain, the Crazy Magic Wand was astonishingly powerful, but Lu Junyi's martial arts skills were greatly reduced. Every time the Zen wand attacked, he would take a step back.
"That's just what Lu Junyi is!"
Zeng Mi saw Lu Junyi being suppressed by Lu Zhishen and whispered.
"No, Lu Junyi is just not used to this environment. You can see that although his moves are weak, they are not messy at all."
Shi Wengong shook his head and said, Lu Junyi is obviously not used to fighting in such a harsh environment. The richest man in Hebei has never been exposed to rain in his life.
"Quick, go out and help Lu Junyi!"
Li Cheng saw Lu Junyi being blocked and immediately said to everyone.
Song Jiang, Zeng Tu, and Suo Chao headed out of the city with their soldiers and horses.
"I lost to you last time, do you dare to compete this time?"
Pang Wanchun looked at Hua Rong and said, last time he and Hua Rong competed in archery skills, Hua Rong was superior. This time it was stormy. In this environment, he thought he had the advantage. He usually practiced archery in various places. Practice archery in harsh environments.
"Why don't you dare!"
Hua Rong smiled and took out the long bow and said.
"Okay, let's see who wins this time!"
Pang Wanchun took off his long bow and laughed.
No order was needed. The two of them fired their bows at the same time, and the arrows missed the enemy who was leaving the city.
The heavy rain and the howling wind greatly affected the flight path of the arrows. However, Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun were both masters of archery. All this had been planned by them, and the two Daming Mansion soldiers fell to the ground.
"No, there are enemies!"
Guan Sheng saw two soldiers falling to the ground. He looked closely and saw that two arrows were inserted into the soldiers' heads and chests out of position. Only then did he realize that the enemy had fired cold arrows.
It's just that Guan Sheng thought wrong. This was not a cold arrow at all, but the sound of wind and rain covering up the sound of the crossbow and the missing arrow. Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun were in the light at this time.
"Come forward and shoot!"
Hua Rong ordered to the army around him.
A thousand soldiers stepped forward with divine arm bows and fired, and a thousand arrows were shot at the Gaotangzhou army. These soldiers were all crossbowmen trained by Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun, and they also had divine arm bows. Although the wind and rain caused the aiming point to drop, covering the shooting did not require any aiming point. The arrow rain still caused many casualties.
On heavy rainy days, the ground was muddy, and the reaction of the army became very slow. It was even impossible to get close to the archers. Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun were shooting at the enemy troops at the front again, and the fallen soldiers became natural roadblocks.
"You can't fight like this, get back quickly!"
Shi Wengong wiped the rain off his face and yelled, This charging method is simply a way to die. Thousands of people will probably die before they reach the enemy. And the more corpses there are, the harder the charge will be, and the casualties may still be high. will rise.
"Master, if you can't rush through, retreat quickly!"
Yan Qing looked at Lu Junyi and shouted, Lu Zhishen was blocking him in front of him, the reinforcements at the rear were blocked by Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun, and Qin Ming was waiting in front with his troops. They couldn't reach the dam at all.
"hateful!"
Lu Junyi yelled unwillingly. If he was fighting on horseback on a sunny day, he would never be in this situation.
Lu Junyi is the richest man in Hebei. His wealth has made Lu Junyi rich and well-fed since he was a child. Even when he learns martial arts, he is taught by famous teachers. The environment and equipment are all the best. He has never been exposed to rain. In this environment, he is very good. Not adaptable.
"withdraw!"
Although Lu Junyi was unwilling to give in, the situation was not good for him, so he still led his people to evacuate to the city.
Lu Zhishen, Hua Rong, and Pang Wanchun did not pursue them. The crossbows in Gaotangzhou City were all loaded, and the defenders on the city were just waiting for them to approach.
"Then Sun Lei has been prepared for a long time. Now he is building a dam upstream and we can't leave the city. What should we do!"
Gao Lian watched the army retreat in defeat, feeling anxious.
"Let's abandon the city and leave directly!"
Zeng Tu looked at Gao Lian and said.
"We can't abandon the city!"
Gao Lian directly denied that he was the magistrate of Gaotang Prefecture. If Gaotang Prefecture was flooded by Sun Lei and no one in the city could survive, even if he could escape with his life, he would not be able to escape the guilt. The lives of all the people in the city would not be high. Can't save him.
"Then just wait here to die?"
Zeng Tu looked at Gao Lian. Gao Lian wanted to live and die with Gaotangzhou, and they, Zengtou City, would not accompany him.
Li Cheng frowned when he saw Zeng Tu and Gao Lian arguing. The enemy was plotting outside, and they were fighting among themselves here. How could they fight this battle?
"Everyone, there is no need to be too anxious. Although the enemy has built a dam to flood Gaotang Prefecture, Gaotang Prefecture is not a paper lake. The amount of water required to flood Gaotang Prefecture is not a small amount. The enemy may not really succeed."
When Wu Yong saw Song Jiang winking at him, he took a step forward and said to everyone with a fist in his arms.
"Shan Yangui, it will take the enemy several days to accumulate enough water."
Li Cheng looked at Shan Yangui and asked, "Others may not understand this."
"The city of Gaotang Prefecture is tall and tall. Under normal circumstances, one month may not be enough. But now that it is raining heavily, five days should be about the same."
Shan Yangui looked at the heavy rain and said, although the enemy has built a dam, it is impossible to block all the water, and the rain will not fall forever, no matter how heavy the rain is, it will stop.
"If the rain stops, we can kill him directly!"
Lu Junyi pointed to the dam and said, if it hadn't been for heavy rain today, no one would have been able to stop him.
Li Cheng, Gao Lian, Zeng Tu, Shi Wengong, and Song Jiang all thought about it. According to this calculation, they really wouldn't lose when they defended the city.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"
Yin Tianxi pulled the hem of Gao Lian's clothes.
"What?"
Gao Lian glanced at Yin Tianci and asked with a frown, Yin Tianci came to cause trouble at this time.
"Brother-in-law, we don't have enough food and grass!"
Yin Tianxi whispered.
"forage!"
Gao Lian's face froze, and then he realized that there seemed to be little food and grass in the city.
