A sudden torrential rain that lasted for a day and a night brought Linzi's offensive and defensive battles to a temporary halt.

The overflow of the Wu River forced Qin Zhao's main army to move its camp to higher ground and reorganize its troops and horses, and the logistics supply of tens of thousands of troops was also in trouble for a while. This made Liu Sida, who had been living in Linzi for many years, very happy, at least, he had won some more time, or he could wait for reinforcements from Qingzhou.

Maybe it's providence! Liu Xinda stood on top of the city, looking at the muddy ground outside the city like a swamp, such an environment, let alone fighting, even walking is extremely difficult.

He really wanted this kind of rain to come once in a while.

When arranging the Yellow River defense line, he took Linzi as the second line of defense as a last resort, but to be honest, if the Tang army really hit Linzi, in fact, Pinglu would have failed, even if it could last a few more days in Linzi, but the gate of the entire Pinglu had been opened, and the Tang army could completely besiege Linzi with a force, and other troops could divide their troops to attack other places in Pinglu.

Now, except for Linzi and Qingzhou, the entire Pinglu basically can't find any organized soldiers and horses. When other places are swept away, how long can these two lonely cities be left empty?

Now that the Tang army has arrived in Linzi, fortunately, this heavy rain has made any plans of the Tang army can only be temporarily shelved, but how long can it be delayed?

Liu Xinda only felt that no matter what he thought, it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see a trace of light.

When I think of the pain, I simply don't think about it. As a military general, all he can do is to do his duty and fight to the last soldier.

Now the Tang army still has a weakness, that is, their grain and grass supply, as their logistics distance is extended, the pressure on logistics supply will become more and more great, and this heavy rain will make it even more difficult for them. It is believed that at this moment, their logistics supply team on the road has encountered a great dilemma.

I hope that Liu Santong can deal a greater blow to the logistics supply of the Tang Army outside.

If we can succeed in causing a big problem in the supply of the Tang Army, then this war will not be without a turning point.

Thinking of this, Liu Xinda sincerely clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky three times in a row. He has fought all his life and has never believed in gods and Buddhas, but at this moment, he is more pious than anyone else.

Liu Xinda was overjoyed here, and Qin Zhao was naturally extremely annoyed. If it weren't for this heavy rain, he was confident that he would be able to pocket Linzi in ten days at most, but the sudden change made all the work of the Tang army in the early stage go to waste, and he even had to retreat the main force for dozens of miles.

Roads have been destroyed, rivers have been diverted, and the original plan has now become a mess. Not only was his main force unable to attack on time, but even the two cavalry units of Li De and Chen Changping, who were supposed to divide their troops at this time, had to stay.

With an army of more than 40,000 people, the pressure on logistics is huge, which can be imagined.

"There is no way." A group of senior generals stood in front of the sand table and discussed for a long time, but there was still nothing to do, and Qin Zhao was a little helpless. "In addition to waiting for the rain to completely stop and the road conditions to improve, it is possible to launch a new offensive."

"Will Qingzhou come to reinforcements, this is a godsend for them!" Kim Se-won asked.

"Originally, there should be no reinforcements from Qingzhou." Qin Zhao shook his head: "Hou Xiyi is preparing to escape, but a few days ago, there was news from the internal guard, Zhu Youzhen and Sun Tonglin successfully seized power in Qingzhou and expelled Hou Xiyi, and now the power of the entire Qingzhou has been fully controlled by Zhu Youzhen, with his grudge with us, this person may send reinforcements over." ”

"If the logistics can keep up, no matter how many reinforcements he sends in, it won't help." Li De sneered: "General, now that our two cavalry are staying here, we can't do anything except consume grain and grass in vain, I ask to lead the troops to attack and feed the war with battle." ”

Li De's rangers are best at doing this kind of thing. Of course, the so-called war by war is actually a looting, taking down a land, looting a land, and then going to the next place, which is a typical cavalry unit that only destroys and does not care about the aftermath.

"Pinglu Land, I'm afraid you won't be able to grab anything." Qin Zhao shook his head and said: "This land is destined to be ours, those who have money have already gone to the city, and those who can be easily grabbed are some ordinary people, General Li, now we can't rob them, because immediately, they are our people of the Tang Dynasty." It's easy to make enemies, but if you want to smooth it down, it's hard. ”

"Then why wait? What if this god doesn't give face? Li De said with some annoyance.

"Then we have to wait." Qin Zhao said categorically. "If General Li feels that he has nothing to do, he can lead his troops and horses back to meet the logistics supply, you are all cavalry, even if you tie a few grain bags to each horse, you can bring back a lot of grain for the large army."

Qin Zhao's tone was not good, and Li De was furious when he heard it. But the official level crushed people to death, and he couldn't refute it. He took a few breaths, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Li De takes the order, so I will go back and take people out of the camp and come back with food and grass for the army." ”

Before everyone could react, he had already strode out of the camp.

Everyone looked at each other, Liu Xiaocian stood up and confessed a crime, and hurriedly chased out.

"Everyone is not happy, why are you losing your temper so much!" Liu Xiaocian caught up with Li De and asked.

"It's nothing, I just think Qin Zhao is weird for a while, and Jin Shiyuan is also weird." Li Dedao.

"I don't think anyone who encounters such a thing will not be happy, General Qin is the main general, and he must be even more angry in his heart! You won't really take the cavalry out to camel food and grass, will you? Liu Xiaocian asked.

"Of course get out! This is a military order, how can it be joked! Li De shook his head: "I will take 2,000 people out of the camp, and you stay in the camp." ”

Ren Xiaonian, Ren Dagou, has now become a water dog.

As the first unit to break through the Pinglu Army's Yellow River defense line, his 6th Battalion suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw from the first-line battle sequence and become a unit to protect the logistics baggage. In a short time, his sixth battalion was difficult to replenish. In this regard, he has no complaints, after a big battle, so many brothers were killed and wounded, even if his sixth battalion is all composed of Yixing members, everyone has a firm belief support, but everyone also needs time to buffer and heal. It's also good to escort the grain and grass, so that everyone will not be idle but easy to think of those sad things, only when you are busy and have things to do, it is the best medicine.

"It's a fucking bad year!" Ren Xiaonian is now crying without tears.

Although the weather was dark and raining lightly, he had already taken precautions, and although the speed of movement was slow, he was still moving forward, but who would have thought that a flood would sweep over without warning?

Of the 202 carts loaded with grain, only more than 70 trucks were snatched out, and the rest were not washed away by the flood. There are more than 100 people missing, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, and now his subordinates are still looking for these unlucky ghosts who were swept away by the flood, and I don't know how many more can be found.

One after another, some of his subordinates returned, but the people did not bring back a few, but found a lot of soaked grain bags covered with mud.

"How the fuck can you explain this? This time, I'm afraid that I will be subject to military law. He sighed.

The road was no longer visible, and everywhere it could be seen, it was full of damn mud, let alone a heavily loaded carriage, and even a person walked with great difficulty.

"Captain, there's a village over there." One of the men pointed to a few sparse houses in the distance, which had fortunately escaped the sudden disaster because of the high terrain.

"Let's go, let's not be afraid of the rain, these grains are terrible, and some of them have been preserved, and when the time comes, they will be sent to the barracks, and they can also solve the urgent need." Ren Xiaonian said helplessly: "Go there first to unload the grain, and if it is wet, you have to think of drying it, otherwise in such a hot and humid weather, it won't take two days, and you will have to grow mold." ”

"Yes, Lieutenant, but the car can't get by." The guy said.

"Unload the truck, carry it, carry it, carry it, unload the grain, and then pull the empty cart over." Ren Xiaonian was a little annoyed and lifted two bags of grain from the grain truck, carried them on his shoulders, and limped towards the village not far away.

Half a month ago, he was hit his calf, I thought it must be a fracture, I didn't want to fight after the battle, the military doctor checked, fortunately it was not broken, the leg guard deck on the calf was concave, although it still has a faint pain, but it does not prevent walking, in the words of the military doctor, there is a high probability of bone cracking, carefully protect, a month will be better. But now, I can't take care of it.

Striding into this small village with only seven or eight households, every household closed their eyes and settled down, Ren Xiaonian shouted a few times, faintly heard the cry of a doll, but no one opened the door, but at this moment he couldn't care about anything else, he directly pulled out a knife, reached in through the crack in the door, opened the latch, stepped into the house, put two bags of grain into the house, and said loudly: "Fellow, don't be afraid, we are just borrowing a place, and there is no malice." ”

After saying it twice, there was still no news in the house, Ren Xiaonian frowned, and walked towards the side room with a curtain hanging next to him, and as soon as his hand lifted the curtain, a pole smashed down with the sound of the wind.

Without thinking about it, the knife still in his hand went up, and the other hand was already clenched into a fist, and when his chest was pounded, with a snort, the bar flew to the roof, but Ren Xiaonian's punch was condensed a few inches away from the face of the person who attacked him, and it was actually a woman.

And it's a woman with a black face.
