Cheng Bushi led his army and finally rushed back to Tuyin City after a day of rapid march, but he neither entered nor attacked the city.
As Zhuge Liang expected, Cheng Bushi, who had realized that he had been caught in a trap, naturally did not dare to enter the city easily. After all, who knew whether the county soldiers in the city would surrender?
As for siege? Cheng Bushi didn’t bring any siege equipment, not even a ladder. How could he attack the city?
"General, we have found out that there are no Qin troops around the city, but there are a lot of traces of Qin troops."
"Sure enough, Tuyin City has fallen. I'm afraid an ambush has been set up in the city now, waiting for our army to come to us."
After saying this, Cheng Bushi said with a painful look on his face: "Your Majesty, I have failed to live up to your expectations."
"General, judging from the traces, the number of Qin troops is not large. We still have a chance to recapture Tuyin City."
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Cheng Bushi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Build a cloud ladder immediately. We will take advantage of the Qin army's unstable foothold to recapture Tuyin City."
"promise."
Following Cheng Bushi's order, the Han army immediately divided into two, most of them surrounded the city, and some used local materials to build ladders. Once the ladders were completed, they immediately attacked the city.
Tuyin City, on top of the city tower.
Looking at the Han troops surrounding the city outside the city, Long Qie began to feel extremely uneasy. But when he saw Zhuge Liang's calm look, his uneasiness gradually dissipated.
"Military advisor, we only have 3,500 people, but Cheng Bushi has 18,000 troops. After the 10,000 Han army's ladders are built, if we attack the city with all our strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend Tuyin City with just such a small number of manpower.
Ah." Long Qie said.
Zhuge Liang glanced at Long Qie and asked with a faint smile: "General Long Qie, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"This is what you said, so let me tell you directly. Military strategist, if you have a backup plan, use it as soon as possible. If you don't use it, it will be too late."
After hearing what Long Qie said, Zhuge Liang looked up at the sun that was obscured by clouds and said, "You will know soon."
Building a ladder is not complicated. Cheng Bushi ordered hundreds of people to cut down wood and collect materials. It only took a few hours to build a dozen simple ladders. Although they could not attack four city walls at the same time, they could still attack one city wall.
"Send the order, concentrate your forces to attack the north gate, and surround the other three gates..."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Bushi suddenly opened his mouth. It was clear that it was sunny not long ago, but now it is covered with dark clouds and raindrops are constantly falling from the sky. This is the rhythm of rain.
"General, no, it's going to rain. Set up camp quickly, otherwise the soldiers will not even have a place to take shelter from the rain."
"But……"
Cheng Bushi suddenly looked confused. He finally got out of the ladder, but before he could use it, it suddenly started to rain?
It’s really God’s fault.
Cheng Bushi also knew that it would not be easy to retake Tuyin City with more than a dozen ladders, and it would be even more difficult to attack the city in the rain. Once the army stayed in the rain for a long time, it would affect
The state and morale of the entire army.
"That's all, this is probably a rain shower. It will pass soon. Let's attack the city after the rain passes." Cheng Bushi ordered helplessly.
"promise."
Long Qie was filled with shock and surprise when he saw that the Han army, which was originally preparing to attack the city, had set up camp because of the imminent rain and stopped the attack.
Isn't it a coincidence that this rain came?
Long Qie looked at Zhuge Liang aside and asked, "Military advisor, you already knew it would rain, right?"
Zhuge Liang smiled lightly and did not answer, but seeing this expression, Long Qie knew that he must have expected it in advance.
Didi didi...
At first it was just a drop, but it got bigger and bigger, and gradually became a downpour.
After setting up the camp and retreating into the camp, Cheng Bushi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was raining so hard.
Fortunately, we did not attack the city in the rain, otherwise the rain alone would have reduced the Han army's combat effectiveness by 50%.
"General, is this rain really a shower? General, why does it feel like it's getting heavier and heavier?"
"Of course, I have been in Youbeiping for many years, and I am very familiar with the local area. However, I am very familiar with it. At this time of year, there are more showers in Youbeiping, and it will pass soon."
Cheng Bushi said confidently, but he was soon slapped in the face and made a loud sound.
The next day, the rain was still falling. Although it became lighter, it still didn't stop, which showed that it was not a shower at all.
"It shouldn't be, how could this happen?"
Cheng Bushi murmured to himself, but no one would answer him.
"Come here, send the order and prepare to attack the city." Cheng Bushi said in a deep voice.
"General, do we really have to attack the city in the rain? I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"If we don't attack the city, and when the main force of the Qin army arrives, there will be no chance to recapture Tuyin City." Cheng Bushi said.
"This...No."
Cheng Bushi finally made up his mind and decided to attack the city in the rain. However, before the army could leave the camp, they received two more thunderbolts from the blue.
"Report...to the general, the Liao army is marching in the rain and is less than twenty miles away from Tuyin City."
"Report... tens of thousands of Qin troops were found fifteen miles away."
"What?"
Cheng Bushi's eyes widened, and then his surroundings were flattened and he was dizzy. If he hadn't been supported by the deputy general, he would have fallen forward and fell to the ground.
"General, general..."
Under the shouts of everyone, Cheng Bushi quickly woke up, and the first thing he said was: "Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy, retreat, retreat to Yuyang County quickly, otherwise we will die without a burial place."
."
In Tuyin City, Zhuge Liang was meeting with Li Hongzhang and Gongsun Xuanyuan's envoy, Ye Qingmei. Both of them came in the rain to contact Zhuge Liang.
"Master Li, you have made great achievements this time. After the Battle of Hebei is over, the lord will definitely reward you vigorously. The worst he can do is become the governor of a county."
Although Zhuge Liang said this, he was secretly winking at Li Hongzhang. He couldn't understand Gongsun Xuanyuan's thoughts, and he didn't understand why the gambling house sent a woman as an envoy?
Li Hongzhang saw Zhuge Liang's intention, so he indirectly reminded Zhuge Liang that Ye Qingmei played a very important role in the Liao army and must not be neglected.
While Zhuge Liang was sizing up Ye Qingmei, Ye Qingmei was also observing Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang's image is similar to Ye Qingmei's impression. He is gentle and elegant with a feather fan and silk scarf, and he is also handsome, very handsome.
"So handsome, no, Ye Qingmei, you are the envoy of the Liao Army and represent the face of the Liao Army. How can you be a nymphomaniac at this time? But the young prime minister is really handsome, even more handsome than his sworn brother.
"
Looking at Ye Qingmei with a look of infatuation, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Is this woman really Ye Qingmei, the think tank of the Liao army?
"Military advisor, good news, Cheng Bushi has retreated, and the direction of the retreat is still..."
Long Qie suddenly broke in, but when he saw Li Hongzhang and Ye Qingmei, he immediately shut up and said nothing.
"good."
Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and was about to go out of the house to observe the sky, but the moment he walked out of the house.
[Ding dong, Zhuge Liang’s skill ‘Wolong’ effect 5 is activated...]
It was still raining heavily outside just now, but as Zhuge Liang walked out of the house, the rain became lighter and lighter until it stopped, and soon the sun came out.
Looking at Zhuge Liang bathing in the sun, Ye Qingmei couldn't help but open her mouth.
She remembered an anime movie she had watched before time travel, and the heroine in the movie also had the ability to control the weather.
Is Zhuge Liang also the son of the emperor?
At this thought, Ye Qingmei was completely confused.
