The clouds from the northeast finally covered both sides of the Han River, especially the Fancheng area in the north. The heavy rain in early May made the Han army, which had just won the victory, feel cool.

The soldiers hurried into the newly occupied dock camp, and even regretted that they had set fire to some of them, leaving half of the soldiers unobstructed. Some of them got under the chariots, while others flipped over the boats on the shore, and a group of people squeezed in, listening to the thunder in the sky, and wondering when the rain was about to fall.

"This rain came really unfortunately."

As soon as they stepped onto the pontoon bridge and were about to set fire to completely cut off the north-south connection between the Wei army, the Han soldiers were even more discouraged. Ma Wu cursed and asked them to retreat to the gate of the camp, while he was worried about touching his wet beards. It was a dream to light the fire in the rain. Even if the sky was clear, the sun would have to be exposed to the sun for two or three days. The wet pontoon bridge would restore the flammable level.

He then ordered everyone to look forward to the floating bridge and not to let the soldiers and soldiers of the Han and Southern Wei army come over, but to go to find Deng Yu himself.

Deng Yu's troops were even more miserable. They were located between Fancheng and the wharf. Nearly 10,000 people could only run into the woods to shelter from the rain. All the soldiers were wet. Only Deng Yu could rely on the large umbrella held by the tiger to keep water free and still plan war gracefully on the map.

"Deng Situ." Although Ma Wu couldn't stand the style of Deng Yu, a scholar in charge of soldiers, after this battle, he admired Deng Yu a little more and discussed with him: "Since the fire cannot be released, why not take advantage of the new defeat of the Wei army and attack the Fancheng camp? Fancheng was small and the Wei army was crowded. The prisoners said that tens of thousands of new arrivals could only squeeze into the barracks outside the city. The wall was only more than meter high. The army would definitely defeat it if it attacked!"

Deng Yu had his own opinion: "It is good to send soldiers to pretend to be Cen Peng's reinforcements to deceive the camp, but it is absolutely impossible to attack for a strong attack."

First of all, if you can withstand heavy rain in this ghost weather, you can call it "the world's strong soldiers". The private powerful soldiers of small groups may be able to do it when they are completely loyal to their masters and reward them generously. But the army of more than a thousand people can still do this. Deng Yu has neither seen it with his own eyes nor heard of precedents in terms of military tactics.

To put it bluntly, the Han army is a miscellaneous armed force composed of powerful men, thieves and refugees. The morale is not much higher. Once the rain is poured, it will become even worse. If you forcefully order, you will have to collapse before you can reach Fancheng.

"Secondly, the guards in Fancheng are comparable to me. If they forcefully attack, they may arouse the desire to trap beasts. Relax a little, which will make people feel lucky and dare not fight and just wait for rescue."

In Deng Yu's opinion, it would be better to delay for a few more days. They brought five days of food and grabbed another part of it at the dock. After counting it, they could still hold on for five days.

"The victory or defeat will depend on five days."

Deng Yu said: "The reason we attacked Fancheng was to make the Wei army panic and the morale weak. Cen Peng could ignore the corners of Nanyang, but he would never ignore Fancheng!"

"As long as Cen Peng sends his soldiers to cross north, we can attack half of the crossing, and General Feng Yi can also go straight to the city of Xiangyang and lift the siege!"

As long as the siege is rescued, Jingxiang will basically belong to the Han army.

At this point, Deng Yu had no doubts about his command ability: "If God helps him, he can defeat Cen Peng and destroy his main force while resolving the siege. Then, after consolidating Jianghan, continuing to conquer Nanyang, and restoring Wancheng, is not a delusion!"

...

At the same time, in the Wei army camp outside Fancheng, Cen Peng asked the local generals who were in charge:

"I have already ordered anyone in the army to vent my life and behead me if I am going to Fancheng! Is there any offender?"

"I dare to sue General Yu, no one!" This is considered a military secret in the Wei army. Apart from being ordered to receive Ying Cen Peng's confidant followers, only the partial generals and the rest of them knew about it, the scouts and cavalry officials, and they only knew about it, "receiving Ying's lieutenant" into Fancheng, that's all.

Cen Peng nodded: "Great sage, this ban can be lifted."

The Han army's attack was faster than expected, which broke Cen Peng's old plan. The morale of Fancheng's army was a little unstable. At this time, this news was needed to inspire everyone and stabilize morale.

Sure enough, the panic-ridden lieutenants came to the meeting in the heavy rain. When they saw Cen Peng sitting in the barracks, they were quite surprised. Even the generals and officials who had just followed Ren Guangnan were appointed and appointed by Cen Peng during his stay in Wancheng, they were only called "Cen Family Army".

However, they were filled with worries in their joy. After all, the enemy was in front of them, and the dock was still lost, for fear that Cen Peng would be punished.

Unexpectedly, Cen Peng just sat upright and asked everyone with a smile:

“Is it raining outside the house?”

As if they found evidence that they were unable to fight or could not stick to it, everyone answered one after another, and their words were vulgar: "It was like the heaven urinating."

Cen Peng laughed: "That god's waist is good."

Then he walked to the door again, reached out, and the rain slammed into his palm.

"It's really big enough." Cen Peng looked back and said, "Liu Han called himself Huode. This time he attacked Fancheng, which was a craze to burn the wharf and burned my floating bridge. However, after being poured out by the heavy water in the sky, the fire was extinguished. This battle is beneficial to us!"

Although superstition is a placebo, this far-fetched statement may be the most effective for ordinary soldiers. Seeing that the lieutenants were calm, Cen Peng officially began to deploy the battle.

"It was our general's order to evacuate from the wharf and seduce the enemy with small profits. However, the Han army was too fast, which led to a small defeat today, which was actually a mistake for Cen Peng."

Cen Peng made clear his merits and demerits at the beginning: "From Peng, no one will be held responsible for defeat in this battle. Those who unfortunately died in battle will also report to the emperor for their merits."

This made everyone feel relieved. Fancheng was completely covered by cumulonimbus clouds. Not only was it muddy outside, but the Wei army camps were leaking everywhere, and the big tent was no exception. Water kept leaking. This big house with leaks was like the Wei army in Jingxiang. After fighting for several months, it was indeed exhausted.

However, Cen Peng's arrival seemed to have light in the dim house again, and all the soldiers were driven out. The lieutenants took off their helmets and treated them as basins to get water leaks everywhere.

A captain even volunteered: "General Zhennan, this battle was wronged! He was knocked out. Now that the Han army is still outside, it is better to let the subordinates attack him with the desperate men. He must drive away the Han thieves and recover the floating bridge!"

Drive it away? How can Cen Peng pay a huge price to bring Liu Han’s three relatives, relatives, and more than 10,000 soldiers into a trap. How can he be alarmed?

What's more, the Wei army is not a strong army that can fight in heavy rain. Even if they choose warriors, they are just fighting in the mud and water. But what Cen Peng wants is to wipe out all!

He encouraged the energetic lieutenant, but looked at the evasive and evasive baggage soldiers. No wonder these people were timid, because the soldiers they brought were mostly military farm soldiers who had only been trained for half a year to a year and had not fought in practice. Can this fight?

But Cen Peng believes that as long as the military training method he and His Majesty planned together, why can't the new recruits go into battle?

"What?" Cen Peng said: "The Southern Expedition Army was stationed in Wuguan, Hebei and Longyou. You complained and said you didn't have the chance to make a contribution."

"Later, when we arrived in Wancheng, the main force of Red Eyebrows had already arrived in Heji. When everyone heard that Ma Guowei and Youzhou's thunder cavalry made great contributions, they were so envious that they scratched their heads."

"And I will attack Jingxiang, but before I can take you, I will cry and rob the world, wanting a place to accompany the army."

"But now that great achievements are right in front of you, you suddenly become humble?"

Cen Peng's speech changed, and from a harmonious ball to a rather annoyed person, he slapped the table a few times, shaking the leaking helmet so much that everyone in the barracks stood up in fear!

"The Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty is watching in Wancheng!"

"Whoever is a horse under the command of the Zhennan Army's shogunate is a horse and a mule that cannot be grown. Through this battle, I and Your Majesty can see clearly! And who can be sent to the marquis in His Majesty's hand, and who is destined to have to bring militias to farm for the rest of his life, and it is also clear!"

After saying this, many people were scolded out bloody words. When they came to Jingxiang, they had to follow the general to earn something. So there was constant call for war, but Cen Peng heard that they were still lacking in confidence. They were able to see that the Han army was as strong as their own. The main force near Xiangyang had to be guarded against Feng Yi and could not come back. Even if Cen Peng personally commanded, he would not be sure of victory.

"Don't worry, everyone."

Only then did Cen Peng reveal his biggest trump card to them:

"Previously, someone in the court impeached me to Your Majesty, or Cen Peng was incompetent, and sat down and watched Deng Feng, Jia Fu rebelled Danyang, and Ma Wu attacked Chongling without paying attention."

"On the surface, I only said that the troops were insufficient, but in fact, there were still tens of thousands of mobile soldiers in the southern expedition army, but I just didn't need to hold them! It was only placed in the upper Shandu County."

That was the partial division that had attacked Shandu and killed Deng Feng's general Zhao Xi. This unit was the most capable division under Cen Peng, but he had been hiding it.

"As early as a few days ago, the day after you arrived in Fancheng, I learned that the Han army reinforcements were moving northward, so I ordered the division to move south to Deng County to station."

Deng County is more than 20 miles northwest of Fancheng. Cen Peng pointed to the rain that was getting heavier and heavier outside and said, "Prepare hot food in the camp to make the three armies full of food. Let the Han army be drizzled for a few days first. When the sudden rain has just stopped and its morale is at its lowest, Deng County reinforcements will also arrive, so we will work together to defeat the Han army!"

...

After all, it was Deng Yu's first time bringing tens of thousands of people, and he underestimated the rain.

Although it took not long, only one day, it was quite rapid. Even the wide Han River surged a lot with the naked eye. The river water hit the embankment and caused storm waves.

The Han army was also hit hard by the rain. They rushed north and some soldiers leaned on the wharf barracks to shelter from the rain. Most of them could only stay in the forest and shivered. Thousands of temporary shacks were better than nothing.

It was extremely hot in May, but the strong winds whistled at night with rain, causing the ground temperature to plummet, resulting in the "explosion" of frostbite caused by wet clothes in the summer.

Because the fire cannot arise, soldiers can only eat dried rice soaked in rain, eat a lot of them badly, and even a large number of people die of diarrhea and countless people have fever.

These things were something that Deng Yu could not see from the brief military books, and he could not help with the experience of a noble and a student. Fortunately, Ma Wu, who had lived a hard life in Green Forest Mountain, helped to come up with the idea, so the Han soldiers did not collapse.

"Sudden rain is more than war."

When the weather cleared the next afternoon and saw a ray of sunshine in the sky, Deng Yu felt like he was amnesty, and at the same time he let himself remember the lesson this time. The next time, he must make victory perfect...

Deng Yu still planned to force "Cen Peng to go north to support Fancheng" within three days according to the original plan.

However, bad news came one after another.

"When Deng County is more than twenty miles northwest, I don't know when the crowd was ambushed. When the scouts approached, it happened that Yuqing, a large army left the city and walked straight east!"

If the previous news only made Deng Yu frown, the next one would directly make him panic.

"Catch the Wei army scouts and tortured them severely, and they said that Cen Peng was already in Fancheng!"

"The Wei army in Fancheng has also been launched one after another!"

"What?"

Deng Yu was shocked and immediately realized that he was like a mantis attracted by the little cicada in front of him. He didn't know that Cen Peng, the old oriole, had already opened his mouth behind him and wanted to peck!

"Since Deng County and the Wei army in Fancheng have not yet joined forces, it is better to attack Cen Peng first and then defeat the enemy in Deng County!"

Ma Wu was not afraid at all and proposed a bold plan. However, Deng Yu looked at the Han soldiers who were still sick after the rain, and was so ill that he was so angry that Xiaosheng's previous motivation had long been soaked in the rain. He just shook his head and said, "Everything is Cen Peng's trick. It's impossible to do anything. You should withdraw it quickly!"

The Han army had no baggage burden and did not run slowly. However, when they returned to the tributary of the Han River and came from their hometown of Nanyang, Deng Yu was shocked to find that the heavy rain yesterday not only made the Jianghan muddy, but also might have water from Nanyang. Now, the torrent from the upstream is sweeping over, making the small river that could have swam across a vast river.

The trees they swam across with their rope have long been submerged in muddy water. Some people tried to swim over, but were swept away by the flood in the blink of an eye and disappeared!

Deng Yu could only sigh: "Cen Peng, is this even worthy of it?"

He only now felt that military books harmed people. He thought that following Liu Xiu ran southeast and assisted Feng Yi in Jingzhou, what he learned was enough to "attack, defeat, win, win, and win", but now it seems that he still needs to learn a lot!

But now it is too late to reflect on one's own shortcomings. Time passes quickly and the river cannot pass. The two Wei troops have surrounded each other from the north and west. What should I do?

Deng Yu claimed to be a strategic genius. Now, countless people are counting on him in life and death, but Deng Yu's mind is blank and he can't think of a tactic that can make the three armies escape...

In desperation, he only remembered a famous war example, just as he grabbed a life-saving wooden floating board before drowning and issued an order.

"General Ma Wu, the enemy has come out in full swing, and there must be a gap between the two armies. Please lead three thousand troops, be sure to try to pass through and attack the Wei camp in Fancheng."

Interspersed from the two enemies, stealing the house? It is easier said than done, but Ma Wu still agreed and asked back, "What about Deng Situ?"

"I?"

Deng Yu smiled and said with a slutty smile: "Now the morale of the soldiers is low, and I have never been attracted by them. It can be said that they drive the people in the city to fight. Just in time, the military strategy says, if you fall into the dead land, you will be born in the dead land, and then you will survive."

"Today, I will put it to death and let all the Han soldiers fight on their own. We will also learn from the Marquis of Huaiyin to fight..."

The young coach pointed to the furious river behind him, his voice hoarse and determined: "Fight with your back!"
