The rain started falling at about 1:00 p.m., and when it got light, the rain began to intensify. The river water surged, hitting a huge cliff in the river not far ahead - Guanyu Cliff, making a sound like the roar of a cow.
Zhe Ziyu wore a raincoat and stood silently on the cliff. In fact, she also knew that if Yang Hao was still alive, he would be with her in the south bank grassland. However, Yang Hao's traces disappeared from here, so she subconsciously came here
At this point, I just hope that the longing in the dark can get closer to him.
The river turned into a turbid yellow due to the rapid current, carrying mud, sand and broken wood, hitting the cliff bank, then spinning around and continuing to rush downstream. I stood on the cliff and watched the river roaring. It was useless.
After a while, I felt dizzy and felt like my feet were moving rapidly, as if I was standing on the deck of a giant ship, riding the wind and waves.
The rain was so heavy that the army could not move, and the search was also disrupted. Now we can only wait for the heavy rain to stop. The only comfort is that the rain is not good for our own side, and it is also not good for the enemy's actions. If Yang Hao has already broken through
Go out, it is not appropriate for the enemy to launch an offensive now.
After standing there for a long time, a tall man wearing a raincoat quietly climbed onto the rock, looking at Zhe Ziyu who stood silently on the cliff. The rain washed away her raincoat and quickly rolled to the ground, like countless tears.
.
The man sighed softly and murmured in a low voice: "I really don't understand. I love him so much, but I still pretend not to care. I don't know what I'm thinking. It's very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What's more?
He is a noble prince and has no wives or concubines. Isn't that a disease? How can Dugu Jialuo and Wu Zhao compare with your methods? Yang Jian and Li Zhi are not hunting wild food everywhere and are full of resentment. How can they have harmony between husband and wife?
Love each other.
Aren't you such a jealous and spoiled person? What's wrong with him? It's good now. His whereabouts are unknown. You don't think about serving food and rice, and you have trouble sleeping and eating. Alas! My sister is younger than my son.
You know, I really spoiled you since I was little..."
Zhe Ziyu suddenly turned her head, and the rainwater flowed down her delicate and white cheeks like jade. A few strands of black hair stuck to her cheeks. Her pretty appearance really made me pity her: "Brother, what are you mumbling about?"
A gust of wind came, and Zhe Yuxun shivered, then stepped forward and said: "Oh, I didn't say anything, little sister, go back and have something to eat."
Zhe Ziyu shook his head: "I'm not hungry. Is there any news?"
Zhe Yuxun frowned and sighed: "Not yet."
Zhe Ziyu looked at the river longingly and suddenly said: "Brother, I suddenly remembered that my eldest sister is here."
Zhe Yuxun's face darkened and he said, "You were not born when my eldest sister got married. You haven't seen her a few times since you were a child. Why do you suddenly think of her?"
The eldest sister of the Zhe family is one year older than Zhe Yuxun. When she first married Yang Jiye, Yang Jiye was still from Linzhou and had not yet supported the Han Dynasty, so she could often return to her parents' home. At that time, Zhe Ziyu was only a few years old.
Baby, even if I have some impression of this eldest sister, I should have been indifferent to it long ago. We have not been in contact with each other for more than ten years, and now her whereabouts are unknown. She may have been killed in the rebel army. Zhe Yuxun felt bad when he thought about it, but he didn't
When I think of my little sister, I think of my elder sister.
Zhe Ziyu looked at the long river and whispered: "Yang Jiye helped protect the Han Dynasty. Over the years, he has cut off contact with Linzhou and our Fuzhou. In the end, it ended up in a battlefield, and the whole family was killed in the chaos.
In the army, even the bones were not found. I often wonder, will my sister blame him? Maybe... I care too much about gains and losses. My eldest sister loved him deeply, and if she can live and die with the man she loves, I must...
The eldest sister must have no regrets when being stabbed with swords and guns. Although she may not live a long life, she has been a loving couple for more than 20 years. She should have no regrets in her life..."
Zhe Yuxun's brows furrowed into a big knot: "Little sister, don't think about this. The storm is getting worse and worse. Go back and have something to eat. Yang Hao... Yang Hao passed through the Ziwu Valley, crossed the Zhulang River, and was assassinated in Jinling. When he was still alive, he was on a mission to Khitan when King De was planning a rebellion, which was not a bloody incident, but he got through it all. This kid is very lucky, so he may not be in danger."
At this moment, Zhang Shisan hurriedly ran over and shouted from afar: "Miss!" He ran closer to see Zhe Yuxun clearly, and hurriedly shouted again: "Commander."
Zhe Yuxun glanced at him and said, "What are you so worried about?"
Zhang Shisan said: "Well..., the news came from the wind."
Zhe Yuxun asked anxiously: "What's the news?"
Zhang Shisan laughed dryly and said: "Nothing has been discovered yet."
Zhe Yuxun said displeasedly: "There is no news, why are you so anxious to report it?"
Zhang Shisan said sarcastically: "The eldest lady had given orders when she was rushing towards Zhuolun River to report the news regularly, regardless of whether there was any discovery..."
Zhe Ziyu turned around and walked over, intercepting his words and saying, "I ordered him. Thirteen, please tell me more carefully, which department the news came from, and tell me the details."
Zhang Shisan said: "The news came from the brothers of Sui Feng's Qian'zi Department. Originally, the order was just issued yesterday, so the news did not come so quickly. However, when the eldest lady came from the grassland, she had already issued an order. , asked them to contact the remnants of the Dangxiang Qi clan, with Huerji as the center, and report all the news across the entire grassland section. Yesterday, because our troops marched here urgently, the messenger did not find us, and did not find us until dawn. Now, They haven't noticed any movement yet. But the messenger has brought a large number of carrier pigeons, and the next contact will be much faster."
"No news? No movement?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhe Ziyu frowned slightly: "Tens of thousands of troops are trekking across the grassland, how is it possible that there is no news?"
Zhang Shisan thought that the eldest lady was blaming Sui Feng's intelligence personnel for not doing their best, and he couldn't help but feel worried. However, Zhe Yuxun had noticed it and asked urgently: "Little sister, what do you mean?"
"If there is no news, it is still news. Our estimate may be wrong. What does that old fox Li Guangrui want to do?"
The two brothers and sisters looked at each other with fear in their eyes...
When it rained heavily, the loess city roads became slippery with every step. The city wall where the soldiers guarding the front were lying turned into a pile of sticky yellow mud. As soon as they stepped on it, their boots came off and they couldn't pull them out. Commander Li He ordered people to guard the enemy on the east and west wings, and sent a group of people to cut down many trees in the airtight jungle at the foot of the mountain on the south side.
Although there were no logging tools at hand and time was limited, large trees could not be cut down. However, with the trunks and branches of those small trees spread on the ground, and the trees taken out of the collapsed houses that were damaged by wind and rain, the ants and mosquitoes could easily eat them. The brittle and dry trees formed a simple defense line. Several awnings were erected to store arrows.
At this time, Yang Hao was standing in front of a half-collapsed city wall, looking at the enemy camp opposite with doubts on his face. After a long time, Yang Hao ordered: "Get Commander Li quickly. I have something to discuss with him."
Mu Yu rushed over immediately and soon brought Commander Li over. Commander Li walked up to Yang Hao and said loudly: "Lieutenant, what are your orders?"
Yang Hao looked at the enemy camp silently and said slowly: "Commander Li, the enemy troops are chasing us all the way and can't wait, but there was no movement before the rain last night. Don't you think it's a little strange?"
Commander Li said: "Is the Lieutenant paranoid? It is not easy to mobilize troops and generals in a night battle. We are under heavy siege and have nowhere to escape. What are they anxious about? Hey, I think they want to wait until dawn before making another move.
We were all wiped out, but we didn’t expect God to help us. There was a heavy rain. Lieutenant, please look, within three hundred steps in front, everything has turned into yellow mud soup. If you sink in the mud, it will be difficult to move. If they try to rush over again, it will be difficult.
It’s difficult.”
Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, it is indeed difficult for them to rush over. It will also be difficult for us to rush out."
Commander Li had a bitter look on his face and sighed softly: "I have thought of this even in my humble position, but there are advantages and disadvantages. The enemy's army is far greater than mine, and this ancient city cannot be defended. After this day's fierce attack,
Whether we can survive until midnight is still a matter of choice. Now it is always good to delay for a while. We have not escaped very far. As long as General Zhe arrives, he will definitely find us before we run out of food and supplies.
, then we will turn the corner."
Yang Hao's clothes were all wet and wet from the heavy rain. He was cold and sticky, but his heart was very agitated, like a fire burning unknown karma. There was always a feeling of restlessness. He suddenly took off his robe and was naked.
Backbone stood in the wind and rain. When the heavy rain rushed, his mind became clearer. He pointed at the enemy camp and said: "We are waiting for reinforcements. They don't know why they stood still and gave up several opportunities to severely defeat our army.
?When General Zhe arrives, will they still have a chance to annihilate me? I, Yang Hao, are a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. Now I am right in front of them, and reinforcements can arrive at any time. Why do they feel so angry?"
Yang Hao walked around on the branches in the mud under his feet, feeling more and more uneasy: "Now that it's raining heavily, our only sharp weapon for defending the city, the bow and arrow, can no longer be used. We have a small number of soldiers. If the enemy attacks with all his strength, our army will be defeated."
They must die, what are they waiting for? A left-behind army with the belief that they must die is still afraid of the rain? They have a large number of tents. If these cowhide and sheepskin tents are spread on the ground, these three tents will be destroyed.
A hundred steps of yellow mud road, isn’t it still like walking on flat ground?”
Commander Li looked at Yang Hao with wide eyes, and an inexplicable fear gradually appeared in his eyes: "Taiwei... What do you mean by Taiwei?"
Yang Hao suddenly stopped, raised his head to the sky, faced the heavy rain, looked at the sky's gradually brightening color, and said solemnly: "The rain will stop soon. When the rain stops, we will see the strength of the enemy's offensive. My guess is...
