The dripping sky was always looking down on the earth, and it seemed that rain was about to fall, but a cold wind that did not belong to the end of May blew the military flag in the mountains and forests.

After Shi Siming and Cai Jin listened to Gao Dada's report, they both adhered to a skeptical attitude, it was too unrealistic, as long as they moved forward, they would encounter earth fire, and they had lost more than 2,000 people and 1,000 war horses.

Shi Siming looked at the sky with dark clouds rolling, it was no longer suitable to move forward at this time, so he could only camp on the spot.

One order after another was issued, and the army of 300,000 people began to cut down trees and build camps in the mountains.

Shi Siming saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't think of a countermeasure, no matter what the method was, Gao Da Da had already used it.

The princess of the protector really has some magical powers, he can't cross the fire pool half a step just to the east of Tongguan, and suddenly a sense of powerlessness comes to his heart, he has been marching and fighting for many years, and he is not fighting for numbers or tactics, and he thought that he would enter the point where he imagined when he reached Tongguan.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were lowered, the cold wind was rolling in, and the heavy rain was pouring down towards the mountains and forests, making people unavoidable, the camp tent had not been completely set up, but a cold rain came first, Shi Siming and several generals took the lead and hid in the camp tent that was halfway built, full of sorrow.

"Why is the general so sad?" Zhanu wiped the water drops on Shi Siming's armor and asked, this was just an ordinary rain.

Shi Siming took off his helmet and wiped off the hot sweat on his forehead, it was obviously cold rain, and in the mountains and forests, he would still feel dull, this feeling made him very uncomfortable, but now that he is sending troops here, where can he go.

Unless he returns home, if he retreats to Luoyang, who will bear the charges, once His Majesty blames him, then his head will not be protected.

"Because of the weather! If you want to enter, you can only lie down in the fire area! Shi Siming's sorrowful gaze became firm, in a war, there will inevitably be sacrifices, even if it encounters earth fire, this kind of thing that needs to be triggered should be buried deep in the ground, and it will explode every time you step on it.

Thinking of the idea, Shi Siming came to Cai Jin's camp, saw Cai Jin with a square face, and explained his intention, "General Cai, Shi Mouming doesn't say dark words, now the princess of the protector has buried the earth fire on the ground that cannot be excavated, and the only way to disperse and explore the way forward is the best choice!" ”

Cai Jin took off his battle armor at this time, wore his usual purple clothes, and looked at Shi Siming leisurely, "General Shi's move is wise, this general can only provide five thousand dead soldiers who are not afraid of life and death, and the rest, I'm afraid that General Shi needs to organize it himself!" ”

"Thank you very much!" After Shi Siming got the other party's affirmative answer, he threw off his cloak, turned around and left directly.

Subsequently, the Hu people formed 10,000 brave warriors, who braved the heavy rain to open the way forward, and the roar of the thunder and lightning mother in the sky interlaced from time to time with the roar of stepping on the mines in the mountains and forests.

Those who step on a mine will die directly, but due to the distance, many times only one person will be killed, and the road will be opened with small sacrifices and costs.

After three days, the first group of Hu sergeants finally arrived on the hill opposite Tongguan, but before he could be happy, he stepped on a mine and died.

In the city tower of Tongguan, Wu Yueya sat on the side of the chair, playing with a familiar thing, this is a semi-finished product made after she made a steel bar, but it is a little inferior, it has to be clocked every three hours, and it is not practical to have a small clock, as for its enlarged version, it is clockwork every three days.

The clock, according to the sundial, divides the twelve hours into twenty hours, and few in the Black Armor can accept this.

Since three days ago, the weather began to change, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, today is the beginning of June, it is the beginning of the rainy summer, the drainage system in Tongguan City is not perfect, the same is the problem that needs to be solved urgently in these days, draining out of the moat, digging drainage ditches in the city.

Looking at the mountains to the east through the wooden lattice window, a point of light flickered, and a thunder that did not belong to the sky sounded, Wu Yueya picked up the telescope, the water vapor between the mountains was very heavy, and she couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, but she could see a group of cowering Hu people looking around the ground in the rain, trying to find clues of mines.

It came so quickly, and it seemed that the mines buried in the mountains and forests made them drink a pot of hard water, and also slowed down their march.

It is rainy in summer, and the already humid mountains and forests are even more abrasive, and when they arrive at Tongguan, they become a tired army, and they can attack when they are trimming and tired, and they can be taken by surprise, Wu Yueya feels that the time is on her side, it is really a good rain.

The door was pushed open, and Du Fu, who was wet from the rain, hurriedly walked in, "Princess, the movement just now should be the sound of a landmine explosion, it seems that the Hu people have come!" ”

"Yes, they are coming, send the order down, let all the generals go on high alert, and go to war! Were the small half-wooden, half-mud bunkers on the city walls more affected by the rain? Wu Yueya put the ticking hour clock into the drawer, looked at the rain that was still dripping outside, rolled her sleeves in the palm of her hand, and looked towards Tongguan every day.

"Basically no problem!"

.....

At the same time, Chang'an City, in the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

Kuang Ming and Kou Zhong were dressed in round-necked blue clothes, and after seeking the signature, they sat idle in a small Buddhist hall, making sure that there was no one around, and then began to discuss business.

"Recently, we have been under surveillance!" Kuang Ming whispered in his ear, as if he was guarding against someone.

Kou Zhong felt the same way, especially when he sent a message to Lingwu, the feeling of surveillance was even stronger, even if he was walking on the street, he still felt like someone was watching him behind him.

It's just that no matter how vigilant you are, you can't spot and find the stalker.

"What about Chao Heng? Hasn't he come yet? Kou Zhong asked cautiously.

Kuang Ming half-bowed down and whispered, "According to the situation, it should be almost there, and when you enter the temple, the feeling of being watched disappears, it seems that Chao Heng's proposal is right!" ”

Entering from the gate of the small Buddha hall, Chao Heng saw Kuang Ming and Kou Zhong, and immediately greeted them with a smile on their faces, and chatted with the two of them. ”

"The sage said, Chang'an here let the two of me settle Li Bai, and now that the captain of Chao is Li Bai's best friend, I believe it should be easy!" Kou Zhong smiled and said in a half-inquiring tone.

Chao Heng continued to smile amicably, and said in a habitual official tone, "This is naturally not a problem, if Taibai knows the festival, he will definitely know right from wrong!" Chao will complete this as soon as possible! ”

"Oh haha, then it's going to be bothering Captain Chao!" Kuang Ming knew that even though it was a false name, he could also compliment the other party.

Raindrops dripped from the eaves, and after the discussion, Kuang Ming released a harrier from the cage, rushed into the sky against the rain, and flew towards the north.

Chao Heng left the temple and immediately went to Li Bai's mansion, saw Taibai, and told him all the news he had obtained.

It was raining heavily, and the harrier released by Kuang Ming could not fly high, and was soon caught by the bad people who seized the opportunity. Read the latest chapter of "Steamed Tang Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
