The Han army braved the heavy rain and marched in the direction of Luoyang. []

A Han soldier wiped his face. wiped the rain and sighed very unpleasantly: "This damn ghost weather, such a heavy rain......"

"Yes, with such a heavy rain, if it was usual, I would have set up camp a long time ago. I don't know why."

"Da Da Da ......" A horse galloped over, and a knight on the horse shouted without listening: "The prime minister has an order, march quickly!" ”

"What, a hurried march?" It was inconvenient to march in the rain, and the Han army immediately complained.

"Don't talk nonsense, the prime minister has an order, let's run!" One of the veterans sighed helplessly and began to trot.

……

Zhuge Liang sat in the carriage, although he couldn't get drenched in the rain, but he also felt that it was very bumpy. The roads in the Three Kingdoms era were very poor, and there were no shock absorption measures in this carriage, so although Zhuge Liang sat in the carriage, the taste was still uncomfortable.

In addition, it is raining now, the roads are muddy and difficult to navigate, and the potholes that were originally in place are under the impact of the rain. It becomes more difficult to walk. Zhuge Liang sat in the car, swayed, and it was good if he didn't spit it out.

"......Boom" A violent vibration came, and Zhuge Liang was directly shocked to the ground. Then Zhuge Liang realized that the car had stopped.

"What's going on?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Prime Minister, the car is stuck in a mud puddle and can't move, so I'll push the car out."

Zhuge Liang walked out of the car, and the attendant next to him stepped forward to hold up an umbrella.

Zhuge Liang looked up at the sky and sighed: "This rain is really not small, and it is really hard for the soldiers to march in this heavy rain." ”

"Prime Minister, this rain is a torrential rain, and it won't last long. With such a heavy rain, it will clear up after this while. At that time, the road was much easier. ”

"Torrential rain?" Zhuge Liang nodded, Zhuge Liang knew that this heavy rain was good news for Zhang Ren who was defending the city, but if this rain stopped, Zhang Ren in Xingyang might not have any good fruit to eat. Think about the precarious situation that might arise in Xingyang.

"Pass the order, let everyone hurry up, and rush to Luoyang today to rest."

……

Xingyang City.

The medical officer was bandaging Zhang Ren's wounds.

Although Zhang Ren suffered only skin injuries, Zhang Ren was the main general after all, and the main generals were all injured, which shows the tragedy of the war.

Even Zhang Ren, the main general, was injured, and the Wudang Fei Army suffered heavy losses, and in the previous days of the city defense, the Han army did not dare to use rattan armor, and most of them went into battle shirtless. The gap between not wearing armor and wearing armor is still very large, due to the lack of armor protection, in the past few days, nearly half of the Wudang Flying Army has lost the ability to continue fighting. In the entire Wudang Flying Army, every soldier will be a little injured, and those who are still intact can only be found in the Huotou Barracks.

"Hey......" Zhang Ren sighed, calculated the time, except for today, there are still six days, if the rain can fall for two more days, this Xingyang is very stable and can be held, but if the rain stops, if you want to hold Xingyang, I am afraid you will have to fight for the flying army.

"General, the wound has been bandaged, but it's better for the general not to go into battle these days." The medic spoke.

"Oh, I see, thank you." Zhang Ren nodded slightly, guarding the city these days. Instead, the medic became the busiest of the people, and due to the surge in casualties, the medic of the Wudang Flying Army was able to rest for at most an hour a day. The rest of the time is spent treating the wounded.

Zhang Ren touched the wound, the military doctor bandaged it really well, after applying the medicine, the wound no longer felt pain.

Zhang Ren walked to the door, looked at the raindrops falling from the sky, and began to pray silently again, hoping that the heavy rain would last longer.

……

Luck can't always be on Zhang Ren's side, the rain began to light up just after the hour, and at dawn, the heavy rain finally stopped.

The sun rises from the east, emitting warm sunlight, just after the rain, the air is also extraordinarily clear, and there are still a few raindrops left on the plants, which are fresh against the backdrop of the sun. Everything is so cozy and full of vitality.

However, under Xingyang City, there is a completely discordant scene with this scene, Cao Zhen has already set up a formation, the siege weapons have been prepared, and everyone has a torch in their hands, shining with scorching flames.

Looking at the well-equipped soldiers under his command, Cao Zhen had a satisfied smile on his face, and in the process of heavy rain, Cao Jun also rested. Morale has returned. What's more important is that after this heavy rain, it is impossible to rain again in a short period of time, Cao Jun's equipment is much better, Wudang Feijun has no armor, even if Cao Bingzhi wears the worst leather armor, it is better than Wudang Feijun by three points.

"According to the information collected from the spies, the Han army should arrive in six days. So we must take Xingyang within five days! Sons, do you have faith? Cao Zhen shouted.

"Yes!" The shouts shook the sky.

"Okay, manly man, make a contribution, right now. Break through Xingyang and capture Zhang Ren alive! Go out! Cao Zhen drew his sword and pointed forward.

"Rush!" Cao Zhen immediately rushed in the direction of Xingyang City.

……

On the city of Xingyang.

"Have you taken care of all the rattan armor?" Zhang Ren asked.

"The general can rest assured, it has already been buried, and it was buried before the sky is clear, there has been a rain, and all traces have been washed away, if you don't know the place, you will definitely not find it."

"Good." Zhang Ren nodded solemnly: "It takes twenty or thirty years to make each pair of this rattan armor, and such a sharp weapon must not fall into Cao Zhen's hands." Besides, when His Majesty goes south to Jiangdong, maybe he will still use it. I will be buried here today, if something happens to me, and His Majesty will arrive in the future, this rattan armor will still be able to be found and beaten by His Majesty. ”

The general next to him looked at Zhang Ren, and at this time, everyone could feel the sad song scattered on Zhang Ren's body. It seems that Zhang Ren is planning to defend Xingyang.

"Don't worry, the general is here, and we will protect the general!"

"Yes, we swear to protect the general to the death!"

"Good, good brother!" Zhang Ren looked at the guards around him who had followed him for many years. A warmth rose in my heart.

"Brothers, next, the Cao army's siege of the city will be endless. Now, we can only fight to the death and hold on to Xingyang. Your Majesty's army is coming in six days, and if we hold on to these six days, we will be victorious. Brothers, I am invincible, kill me! ”

……

Previously, there were 30,000 people in the Wudang Flying Army, and Zhang Ren divided them into teams of every 500 people and went up to support them in turn. But now, there are only 15,000 people left in the Wudang Flying Army that still retains their combat effectiveness, and the soldiers are less than half, and the rotation has become more frequent.

In this way, the Wudang Flying Army held out for another three days, and at this time, the situation was very unfavorable to the Wudang Flying Army, and Zhang Ren had already personally supported the city tower and participated in the short-handed battle.

Without armor to protect themselves, the soldiers are seriously consumed. In this era of poor medical care and no penicillin, many injuries that are not very fatal are enough to make people incapacitated.

On the city wall, Shamoko struggled to wave the thistle bone in his hand, and at this time, the spikes of the Shamoko thistle bone were already stained with minced flesh and blood. However, this did not stop Cao Jun from constantly pouring over.

"Whoosh......" A cold arrow flew by, just hitting Shamoko's thigh.

"Oops!" Shamoko roared angrily, swung the iron thistle bone with all his might, swept down the three Cao soldiers one after another, and then used the iron thistle bone to support his body, breaking the arrow on his leg.

"General Shamoko, you're injured, let's go down and bandage some wounds first." A soldier next to him said.

"No, this little injury is nothing, and it's not too late to bandage the wound when these Cao soldiers are repulsed."

"General, these Cao troops rushed up in waves. I'm afraid I can't finish it. You'd better go and treat the wound first! ”

Shamoke looked at Cao Jun, who kept rushing up, and then looked at the wound on his leg, sighed a little helplessly, and then nodded: "Okay, you guys hold on first, I'll deal with the wound." ”

……

Sunrise and sunset, another day passes.

Fifteen days away, there are still two days left, but Xingyang City is almost unable to hold on.

"Brothers, hold on!" Zhang Ren shouted, but the Wudang Fei Army was still retreating, and seeing that the western city wall was about to be lost.

"Resist, must resist!"

"General, here we are!" A group of soldiers with bandages on their bodies rushed forward.

"What's the matter, why did you come up, you're still hurt!"

The people who rushed up were all soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army who were injured before. They were supposed to be recuperating from their wounds, but now that the walls were about to fall, the wounded soldiers rushed up again.

"General, as long as we have a breath left, we will make it to the end!"

At this time, Cao Zhen, who was watching the battle from afar, couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

After fighting for so many days and sacrificing so many people, the Han army finally reached the end of the crossbow.

"Brothers, work hard, today, we will spend the night in this Xingyang City!"

……

"General, be careful!" One of the guards shoved Zhang Ren away, and then the guard was shot in the chest by an arrow.

"Little Sanzi!" Zhang Ren exclaimed, this guard, who has been following Zhang Ren for eight years, is now dying on the battlefield.

"It's over, is it really going to be unbearable? Two days to go, this ...... Hey, Your Majesty, the minister has done his best, and now he can only resign himself to fate......" Zhang Ren sighed.

The soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army fell one after another, and the rest of them were still fighting, but everyone knew that Xingyang was about to lose its hold.

……

"Report ......" Xiao Xiao pulled a long voice and came to Cao Zhen.

"Report to the general, thirty miles to the west, there is a large Han army! It is estimated that in one hour, we will be able to reach my camp! ”

"What?" Cao Zhen's face changed greatly: "Why did the reinforcements come so quickly, it's only thirteen days, shouldn't there be two more days!" ”
