Li Zicheng looked up and was immediately overjoyed. It was going to rain, and it looked like it was going to be a thunderstorm.

"Hahaha..." Li Zicheng couldn't help but laugh up to the sky, and then pointed his finger at the opposite side and said: "No matter how powerful your firearms are, God is helping me, I will win this battle!"

Even a self-generated fire gun is useless in the rain. The advantage of the imperial army lies in the use of firecrackers and artillery, all of which cannot be used. As a result, the advantage of the imperial officers and soldiers was gone.

On the side of the bandits, the advantage is their strong military strength. Although the heavy rain has an impact on both sides, relatively speaking, it is less affected after all.

After hearing this, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and others congratulated Li Zicheng one after another, saying that this was his destiny or something. They were so angry that Luo Rucai was very angry.

Could it be that he, Li Zicheng, was the only one whose destiny should belong to him? I bother!

But at this time, he was not stupid enough to fall out over this. After all, Li Zicheng's side was stronger when it came to strength.

While Li Zicheng was still happy, he suddenly saw the rear formation of the imperial officers and soldiers on the opposite side retreating to their barracks.

Is this not a fight, but a retreat?

This is not possible!

Of course Li Zicheng would not agree. He didn't care whether it was him or Luo Ru who should send troops, so he hurriedly dispatched troops, including his cavalry, to attack immediately.

Under the deliberate instigation of Song Xiance and others, they all felt that the civil and military generals they advocated from Fengtian were the people destined for destiny. God was helping, so that the firearms of the imperial officers and soldiers became just fire sticks. The morale of these bandits is obviously much higher.

However, the imperial officers and soldiers were well prepared. The front army was not in disorder and the rear army retreated in an orderly manner. They were not given a chance at all.

"Boom..."

The thunder became more and more intense, and finally, heavy rain poured down. In just a short time, all the people in the wild became drowned rats. Even his vision was a bit blurry and he couldn't see clearly in the distance.

Lightning, like golden and silver snakes, streaked across the sky and struck on the heads of the bandit army.

A commotion suddenly appeared in the bandit army, because a bandit holding a flag was struck by lightning. Suddenly, the outside was scorched and the inside was scorched, and he became inhuman. What's more important is that it's not just one.

This time, what kind of destiny is there? It’s not bullshit. He must have done too many evil things. It’s self-evident who God is going to kill!

Li Zicheng was also frightened. He felt that the dark clouds above his head seemed to be about to strike with thunder and lightning at any time. He was so frightened that those holding flags around him threw away their flags.

As soon as the bandit army arrived, they launched an offensive without setting up camp at all. At this time, everyone who was struck by lightning couldn't care less about fighting. They all ran away, but there was nowhere to escape!

In the Ming army camp, Zhang Mingwei had already made preparations for the arrival of the rainy season. After the officers and soldiers of the imperial court withdrew into the camp, they were not exposed to the rain, and awnings were set up around the walls. Groups of imperial officers and soldiers were waiting under the canopy.

When they saw this scene among the bandit army in front of them, everyone was glad that they were not caught in the rain. At the same time, they felt that the bandits had been taught a lesson by God and would definitely be defeated!

It rained heavily for a while, and finally the clouds cleared and the fog cleared.

But at this time, it was almost evening.

Fortunately, it is July and the weather is not cold. Otherwise, the army of thieves would be defeated without the help of the imperial officers and soldiers.

But even so, it's hard for all the thieves. Under the heavy rain just now, there was no organizational structure, and it was impossible to launch another attack.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to order to find a higher place to camp and fight again tomorrow.

Looking at the imperial army camp in the distance, Song Xiance turned back to look at the chaos on his side. He was a little worried, so he caught up with Li Zicheng, who was obviously a little unhappy, and told him: "General, be careful of the imperial court tonight." The officers and soldiers took advantage of the chaos to steal the camp."

Upon hearing this, Li Zicheng was stunned.

On his side, everyone was drowned. If he were an officer of the imperial court, he would definitely not miss these opportunities! If they are not prepared and are attacked by the imperial army, the army may collapse.

With this in mind, he immediately adopted Song Xiance's suggestion and began to deploy an ambush, waiting for the imperial officers and soldiers to sneak into the camp.

Under the cover of night, the detectives who were sent out to lurk also kept in touch at all times to prevent raids by the imperial army.

Not to mention, there was indeed movement in the imperial camp. There were people gathering, lights out, and people sneaking out of the camp.

This made Li Zicheng dare not relax at all and quickly prepared to fight.

Damn it, these imperial officers and soldiers are indeed treacherous. They want to take advantage of the rain on their side and they are eager to take a rest to attack. Then come here, I will definitely teach you a lesson.

But who knows, until midnight, there is still no movement of the imperial officers and soldiers stealing the camp.

It's just thunder but no rain. Are you being fooled? Li Zicheng is on fire!

"General, this is the cunning point of the prince. He wanted to steal the camp but didn't do it because he wanted to know if our army had an ambush. If our army thinks that they will not steal the camp and relaxes, the imperial officers and soldiers will definitely become weak. To be honest, I really have to steal the camp. Don't relax in the middle of the night!" Song Xiance stressed with a worried look on his face.

Li Zicheng heard that it made sense, so he gave the order again, still waiting carefully and being careful to steal the camp.

However, leaders like them naturally have dry clothes to change into, but most of the thieves have no clothes to change into, and they always wear wet clothes. Even though it is summer, it is still very uncomfortable.

If the imperial officers and soldiers really come to steal the camp, that would be okay, after all, life is always important.

But the problem with the officers and soldiers was that at dawn, the imperial officers and soldiers did not come to steal the camp at all. At this moment, resentment among the bandit army surged to the sky.

Although Li Zicheng didn't say anything about Song Xiance, after all, he agreed with Song Xiance's views, but Niu Jinxing and others ridiculed Song Xiance.

After struggling all night, it's better now. I can't fight the next day, so I can only take a good rest.

Most of the bandits in the bandit army suddenly got into the tent naked, and their wet clothes and pants were hanging all over the military camp.

………………

At the imperial army camp, Zhang Mingwei got up in high spirits. He saw Bai Guangen and Zhou Yuji, who were on duty at night, and saw that each of them reported excitedly: "The Duke has guessed it, and the bandits have indeed set up an ambush." , and did not retreat to the camp until dawn."

"Haha, they have been working hard all night, and they are probably cursing!" Bai Guangen grinned widely.

He had been a thief before, and had experienced what it was like to run away all night in a rainy night and toss around all night.

Zhang Mingwei was not surprised when he heard this. After all, today's rogue thieves are no longer the rogue thieves they were in the beginning. They are veterans who are used to fighting in battles.

What happened last night, for the imperial officers and soldiers, was indeed a motive for stealing the camp, and they would definitely take precautions. In this case, let's do some acting by the way to increase their judgment in this regard. When I woke up in the morning, the effect was really good.

So, he smiled and said: "You guys go to rest, it's our turn to attack today!"

"The last general is not tired, the last general is willing to fight!" Zhou Yuji immediately expressed his stance after hearing this.

When Bai Guangen heard this, he quickly agreed. He was not willing to miss such a good thing.

However, Zhang Mingwei did not agree and said to them: "If you are not tired, you must also take care of the soldiers. How can you ignore it if you haven't slept all night?"

Of course, he also understood the mentality of Zhou Yuji and Bai Guangen, so he said to them: "Don't worry, the war can't end so soon. Today's battle is more about destroying the morale of the bandits. They are not that weak, and they will not be like this." It will collapse immediately!”

A considerable part of the bandits who escaped during the fifteenth year of Chongzhen were old thieves who were able to fight, knew how to fight, and were used to fighting. Unless they have too few troops, it is absolutely impossible for them to collapse in such an instant.

Zhou Yuji and Bai Guangen heard this and thought it made sense. More importantly, the military orders were overwhelming, so they had no choice but to rest.

After breakfast, Zhang Mingwei led four groups of Wu Sangui, Yuan Shizhong, Tang Tong, and Ma Ke, totaling more than 20,000 people, out of the camp to attack the bandits' barracks. Li Fuming's troops will respond, and if necessary, they will provide support together with Zhou Yuji's and Bai Guangen's troops.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court no longer felt that the bandits all over the mountains and plains were so scary. They are full of energy and know the situation in the bandit army, so their morale is very high.

However, yesterday's heavy rain had an impact on the war after all. The road was muddy, making it difficult for the sidecars on the court's side to move.

The bandits immediately noticed the movements of the imperial officers and soldiers, and mobilized one after another to immediately prepare their troops for war.

This time, not all the bandits were dispatched. Otherwise, if the whole army was tossing back and forth like this, they would definitely collapse without the help of officers and soldiers in the end.

Li Zicheng's approximately 50,000 troops left the camp in a defensive posture to protect their camp.

This time, Li Zicheng really spent money, and sent out his elite troops, including 30,000 cavalry.

There was nothing he could do about it. If those ordinary soldiers were sent out again, believe it or not, they would be rushed to destroy their own camp by the imperial army.

Nowadays, the firearms of the imperial army can still be used. The ordinary elite infantry soldiers will not be the opponent of the imperial army. They can only use their trump card, which is the cavalry.

At this time, the advantage of the bandits was immediately brought into play. The large number of cavalry troops were watching eagerly from the side, so that the imperial officers and soldiers had to be on guard and found it difficult to move forward.

In the end, after some testing, both sides returned to their respective camps.

The battle this time was almost negligible compared to the first day.

In the bandit army, Li Zicheng held a military meeting with two panda eyes. It could be seen from his face that he was not in a good mood. Looking at the list of subordinates below who were exhausted by the imperial officers and soldiers, he asked: "How should we fight the next war?"

After this battle, all of them realized that this imperial army was really difficult to deal with.
