The spring rain continued, and Zhao Qi, who was in Fangcheng, was in a dark mood like the weather outside the window, ambitious to go on the expedition, Jing'an was defeated, but he slapped him in the face, and the Haikou boasted in front of Zao Wou-Ki has now almost become a joke.

Retreating across the Yishui River, losing a large amount of materials and baggage that were transported across the river before, now it is all cheap Yan Army, if it weren't for Zhao Guang on the right flank who blocked the attack of Zhou Yuan's main force and didn't let them take advantage of the situation to chase across the river, now I am afraid that I will be restless in Fangcheng.

This spring rain and timely spring flood finally alleviated the current predicament and allowed him to regain his strength, and more materials were being transported in an endless stream to make up for the shortage of the front line and hold the five cities, which was Zao Wou-ki's bottom line, and at the beginning, Zhao Qi's ambition was originally to teach Yan Guo a hard lesson.

Now it seems that there is no possibility of implementation. It is impossible for Zhao to give him more soldiers and horses. Compared to Yan, Zhao's greater enemies came from the Xiongnu in the northern steppes and the Qin in the west.

It was a battle that made Zhao Qi feel a little humiliated.

Zhao Guang retreated to Weicheng, and Zhao Dong guarded the whole city, these two cities at the forefront must not be lost. Zhao Guang had 30,000 standing troops under his command, but he was opposite the main force of Zhou Yuan's Yan army, Zhou Yu had already withdrawn and returned after giving himself a hard blow, and the one who dealt the whole city completely became Jiang Dawei's Yuyang County soldiers, which made Zhao Qi a little relieved.

The opponent's forward has arrived at the Yishui River, and the main force of Yuyang County has hardly been dispatched, with those thousands of forward soldiers and horses, it is impossible to take the whole city, sure enough, the return of the subsequent exploration of the horse also confirmed Zhao Qi's idea, the other party set up camp by the Yishui River, looking for boats, cutting down trees, building rafts and repairing bridges, it seems that he is very busy, but there is not a single soldier to cross the river.

This is a precious period of time, so that Zhao Qi can lick the bloody wound well, this battle, the morale of the army under his command has suffered a great blow, before the war, they are the same as Zhao Qi, really have not put the Yan army in their eyes, although they are not the standing army of Zhao State, just Zhao Qi's private army.

But the bloody facts knocked out the arrogance on them, not to mention the standing army of the Yan Kingdom, it was a group of miscellaneous soldiers gathered from all directions, which made them almost break their front teeth.

This battle not only made Zhao Dong, but also made Zhao Qi remember the general called Gao Yuan.

Zhao Qi until now, still did not really see Gao Yuan in his eyes, but at this moment, Zhao Dong, who was guarding the whole city, was very concerned about this Gao Yuan, the battle of Jing'an, Gao Yuan's image to Zhao Dong was too profound, a figure who can condense tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers who are not unified, how to look at it, is also a very powerful character, not to mention, in the war, Zhao Dong almost lost his opponent's hand, he did not take it lightly because the opposite side was thousands of miscellaneous soldiers led by Gao Yuan.

The whole city is about twenty miles away from the Yishui River, and on the way of these twenty miles, Zhao Dong set up several watchtowers and prepared fast horses, but if Gao Yuan has any moves, he can know at the first time and make a good response. After the defeat of Jing'an, the strategy of the Zhao army has retreated to the bottom line, that is, to hold the five cities that the Yan State wants.

There will be no reinforcements! At this point, Zhao Dong knew very well in his heart that the most elite soldiers and horses of Zhao State were all gathered under Zhao Mu's men at this moment, ready to deal with the attack from Qin State. And the strategic direction of the whole country is also biased towards the West.

Defend the five cities, and that's it. As long as the war drags on, it can be discussed.

The continuous spring rain for days also made Zhao Dong's tense heart stop a little. The spring rain is endless, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, the spring flood makes the Yishui River swell, and the boats on both sides of the river, as early as after the Zhao army crossed the river, all paid a moment, and in a short time, the other party could not cross the river to fight.

There was a period of time like this, which was enough for him to run the whole city well again, and build it stronger.

"General, some unusual movements have been discovered in the city, and the people are a little uneasy." He Dapeng walked over, and the riding boots stepped on the spring rain, making a snapping sound.

"Is Yan Lingwei of Yan Kingdom making trouble again, if you find one, kill one, you will never be soft, you would rather kill by mistake than let go!" Zhao Dong said coldly, "The people of the Yan Kingdom called, their hearts are restless again, hmph, after ten years of Zhao, these untouchables are really a stone that can't be hot, if you don't kill a few of them, you really don't know whether you live or die."

"Yes!"

"General, this spring rain is continuous, the road is really difficult, is the cavalry patrol temporarily stopped?" He Dapeng walked a few steps, turned around again, and looked at Zhao Dong.

"Stop, just stop for two days, this hell weather, the enemy can't fight over." Zhao Dong nodded, "Let the war horse take care of its fat, and next, there will definitely be a big war."

You can't fight in this kind of weather, it is the thinking of the generals of this era, here in Gaoyuan, but there is no such shackles, on the other side of the Yishui River, a storm is brewing in the big tent of Gaoyuan.

Gao Yuan sat cross-legged on the sheep felt, the ground was very wet, the big tent was also very simple, the ground in front of him, press it with his hand, there would be water coming out, even if he sat on the sheep felt, he could also feel the slightest wetness from the ground, cold air.

Around Gao Yuan, Naha, infantry, Meng Chong, and Xu Yuan sat in a group, everyone was silent, and outside the big tent, the rapid storm was accompanied by thunder and lightning, covering up all other sounds. The tent door was open, and a bolt of lightning came down, illuminating the outside as bright as day, but the dense raindrops limited everyone's eyes to the garden outside the tent gate.

At this time, in the camp of the Yan army, in all the big tents, the soldiers were holding their pillows, just like their commanders, silently sitting in the tents, waiting for further orders, everyone knew that there was going to be a big operation, from early in the morning, all the actions were completely eliminated, the soldiers had dinner early, and then stayed in the big tent.

The vast majority of soldiers still have doubts in their hearts, such weather, in their previous careers, not to mention fighting, even marching is something that has never happened, but for the wind soldiers, this is nothing, let alone rain, that is, in the ice and snow covered winter, the snow is not up to the knees, and they also go out to fight.

These newly promoted officers of the Fufeng soldiers, to their subordinates to tell these past stories vividly, some of them are very eloquent, spitting like street storytellers, some of them are clumsy, after a few words, they have to pause, but they all have one thing in common, that is, these past events are all told to make people's blood boil, and the passion of men is undoubtedly poured out.

There is nothing in this world that cannot be done, only what you dare to do!

This kind of weather attack will be exchanged for the greatest victory at the minimum cost, because even you would not have thought that we would attack tonight, and the enemy would not have thought of it.

It's just a little more difficult on the road, but what is this difficulty compared to fighting the enemy and throwing his head and spilling blood?

The doubts of all the soldiers were dispelled little by little, and their passions were ignited little by little.

Outside the lofty tent, a person came from the heavy rain, drenched as if he had just been fished out of the water, but his face was excited, it was Yan Haibo.

"County lieutenant, according to the intelligence obtained from reconnaissance in the past few days, our advance personnel have successfully killed the opponent's first watchtower, and the other side has just sent a signal, and they are heading for the second watchtower. We're ready to go!" Yi Haibo stood in front of Gao Yuan, the water on his body kept flowing down, and in an instant, a small puddle formed in front of Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan stood up, "Brothers, if you make meritorious contributions, in this dynasty, our Dayan wants to regain the five cities that were lost many years ago, so starting from us today, Zhao Guo has to spit out for us if he eats us, and those who take us have to give us back."

"Make a contribution, and make a career now!" Inside the big tent, several generals shouted lowly.

"Assemble!" Gao Yuan waved his hand violently, Yan Haibo, Naha, Meng Chong, and Xu Yuan turned around and rushed out, Gao Yuan turned around, "Infantry, the battalion will be handed over to you here. After we succeed, we will send a signal back, and you will immediately send a quick horse to Jiang Da, well, and at the same time send a group of fast horses to the general."

"Got it!" Infantry Road." County lieutenant, be careful, if things don't go your way, you must come back."

"Don't worry!" Gao Yuan smiled, "In my Gao Yuan's mind, there has never been the word failure!"

Yishui River, the surging river water hit the embankment, making a loud noise, the former docile Yishui River, since the spring flood came, has shown his tyrannical side, the river is more than twice as wide as usual, the muddy river roars by, in Zhao Jun's view, this has indeed become a natural obstacle for the opponent. On this night of thunderstorms, they slept peacefully and peacefully.

One by one, the watchtowers were silently taken down by the Fufeng soldiers one after another while these soldiers were sleeping peacefully, completely losing the role of Zhao Dong in setting them up.

On the Yishui River, huge sheepskin rafts floated on the surface of the river, and more than a dozen ropes tied them to the embankment and driven deep into the stumps of the ground.

Gao Yuan crossed the river with his two hundred Fufeng elite soldiers as the first attackers. These sheepskin rafts, is Gao Yuan saw the use of the white feather into the use of the made, this is a good thing, usually let go of the gas, a roll, carry it on your back can go, cold up, you can also be used as a quilt cover, encounter the river, a small sheepskin raft blowing up, tied together, spread a layer of board, you can use it as a big raft, convenient and fast, the end is the horse bandits go out to rob, the necessary items for killing the Quartet.

These seemingly huge sheepskin rafts in the river are actually the result of hundreds of small sheepskin rafts being tethered. Fufeng may not have too many other things, but these animal skins, but there are no more, and then Fufeng County, the trade of furs, nitrate, has formed a large industry, making these sheepskin rafts, for Gao Yuan, is simply an easy thing.

What is looking for a boat and building a bridge, but it's just for Zhao Jun to see.

"Let's go!" Gao Yuan shouted.

The rope was untied, the sheepskin raft trembled, and immediately floated down the river, and on the raft, dozens of soldiers sitting on the edge of the raft, dancing desperately with their paddles, stabilized the raft, and rowed with difficulty towards the opposite bank.

"Second batch, ready!" On the embankment, the infantry shouted in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
