"Pop ......" a little raindrop fell on the city wall. []

"Is it raining?" Zhang Ren looked up at it. There were no stars in the sky, and the dark night sky could not see the reality and the void, let alone whether it was raining or not.

A raindrop doesn't mean anything, what Zhang Ren needs now is a heavy rain, a pouring rain. The next heavy rain will extinguish all the torches of the Cao army, and the vine armor soldiers can go into battle again.

"Let's make it rain!" Zhang Ren began to pray silently, as long as it rained heavily, even if it was only for the next hour or two, let the vine armor soldiers come up and drive Cao Jun away, Xingyang City could also ease up.

"Snap ......" another drop of water fell on Zhang Ren's face, and this time Zhang Ren obviously felt it.

"It's really going to rain!" A glimmer of hope rose in Zhang Ren's heart, and at the same time, he was unprecedentedly nervous.

......The raindrops began to intensify, but they were far from meeting Zhang Ren's requirements, although the rain was a little heavier than just now, but it was far from meeting Zhang Ren's requirements.

……

"General!" Cao Zhen was woken up from his sleep.

Cao Zhen got up and immediately asked, "What's the matter, but there is a problem with the siege?" ”

"General, there is nothing wrong with General Zhang Hu's side, but the last general has just appeared. It's raining. ”

"It's raining!" Cao Zhen's face turned pale suddenly, and he didn't even care about putting on his shoes, and rushed out of the tent.

Cao Zhen stood in front of the tent, letting the rain fall on him, and after a while, Cao Zhen said, "Fetch a torch!" ”

The guard took the torch and handed it to Cao Zhen, who just held the torch and stood in the rain.

The rain was not heavy, and although it could get wet, it could not extinguish the torches, and although the torches were affected in some ways, they were still burning firmly.

Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the torches would not be extinguished by the rain. However, Cao Zhenxin has a sense of urgency and crisis, although the rain is not heavy now, it is difficult to guarantee when the rain will be heavy. Once it rains heavily and the torches can't be lit, the vine armor soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army will have the absolute upper hand.

The resistance of the Wudang Fei Army is still very tenacious, and after all, the Wudang Fei Army has tens of thousands of people, although the Cao army keeps attacking the city, the Wudang Fei Army can also support the city wall in waves.

Cao's army was also very brave and had the advantage of numbers, but the battle on the city wall was not a contest between the two sides, and on the narrow city wall, Cao's advantage could not be waved at all.

Cao Zhen knew that Xingyang would be captured in a short period of time. It's impossible. However, this sudden heavy rain completely interrupted Cao Zhen's plan.

"Order Zhang Hu, regardless of losses, you must take Xingyang as soon as possible!"

……

The rain lasted for an hour, and when the sky was bright, Zhang Ren appeared, and the rain not only did not become bigger, but a little smaller.

Now that the rain is getting lighter, a trace of despair rises in Zhang Ren's heart. If God is unwilling to help, even if he can hold Xingyang, this Wudang Flying Army will probably lose everything.

Zhang Ren has trained the Wudang Feijun for many years, and has already injected a lot of feelings into the Wudang Feijun, and every soldier of the Wudang Feijun is carefully trained by Zhang Ren. If it is all lost, it will undoubtedly cut the flesh on Zhang Ren's body.

The offensive of the Cao army was still like a tide, surging in, and the Wudang Fei army was also fighting bravely, and those injured Wudang Fei soldiers were constantly being carried off the city wall.

On the city wall, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the rain washed on the city wall, mixed with blood and water. It was left along the walls of the castle as if it were a red spring, but the water was terrifying.

A river of blood, a river of real blood.

Cao Zhen didn't rest all night, and for the whole night, Cao Zhen sat in front of the tent, paying attention to the rain in the sky.

At dawn, when Cao Zhen appeared, the rain did not increase, but became smaller, and a smile appeared on Cao Zhen's face.

The sky was still covered with dark clouds, and the rain was still falling, but compared to the night, Cao Zhenxin was much more stable. The rain can't go on forever, there will always be a time when it stops, and with the current situation where the rain is getting smaller and smaller, it is only a matter of time before the rain stops.

"General, you better go and rest first, we're watching here......"

"Yes." Cao Zhen nodded slightly, he was quarreled in the middle of the night last night, and Cao Zhen was really tired when he said it. Since last year's serious illness, Cao Zhen's body has not been as vigorous as before.

"Okay, I'll go and rest for two hours first, here, you watch first, and if anything is wrong, wake me up immediately!"

……

A silver-blue light flashed across the sky, followed by a loud bang in the sky.

"Boom ......"

The loud thunder roared like a monster. It spread throughout the sky, completely covering the sound of shouts and weapons clashing on the battlefield.

Cao Zhen was awakened violently, and quickly got up on the bed.

"Someone, come on!" Cao Zhen immediately shouted.

"General, what do you command?"

"Was it thunder just now?" Cao Zhen asked.

"General, it's thunder."

Cao Zhen immediately rushed out of the tent, his eyes fixed on the sky.

"It's not going to be big!" As soon as the thought flashed through Cao Zhen's mind, a bolt of lightning flashed again, and then a huge thunder sounded from the sky again.

In the face of this sudden thunder, Cao Zhen's face became embarrassed, and then, the thing that Cao Zhen least wanted to see finally came true.

The rain, which had stopped a little, suddenly became heavier at this moment, and countless raindrops fell sharply, hitting the ground, deep into the soil, washing the mud on the ground, washing the blood stains on the city wall, and at the same time washing Cao Zhen's confidence.

"It's over, it's really raining heavily!"

……

"Great, it's raining heavily, God help me!" Zhang Ren shouted happily.

Compared to Cao Zhen's frustration. At this time, Zhang Ren's heart was very excited, Cao Bing, who climbed the city wall, the torches in his hands were gradually extinguished by the rain, and the torches piled at the foot of the city wall had already been soaked by the rain.

"The herald, the brothers below wear rattan armor. Get ready to go to town! Zhang Ren immediately shouted.

About a quarter of an hour later, the first 500 soldiers to put on rattan armor had rushed to the city tower, and then, more and more Wudang Fei soldiers wearing rattan armor rushed to the city wall, taking over the soldiers who did not wear rattan armor to defend the city.

"Hey, oh no, it's those rattan armor soldiers again!" A Cao soldier shouted. Then, the other Cao soldiers also appeared, and the vine armor soldiers reappeared.

Those Cao Jun, who had seen the vine armor soldiers on the city wall before, couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in their hearts, fighting against these invulnerable vine armor soldiers, it was impossible to win. The knife has no effect on others, but he has to be careful to guard against the enemy's attack.

However, these Cao soldiers who had fought with the vine armor soldiers were only a minority after all, and most of them had never fought against the vine armor soldiers. Seeing the rattan armor soldiers rushing up, but still fearless of life and death, the result can naturally be imagined, after paying for blood and life, these Cao soldiers finally saw how terrible the rattan armor soldiers were.

Under the attack of the rattan armor soldiers, the Cao army began to retreat step by step, and all the advantages obtained before were slowly eaten back by the vine armor soldiers, and the space for the Cao army to move became smaller and smaller.

Maybe it was because he had been pressed and beaten by Cao Jun for too long, or maybe because of hatred, this time the vine armor soldiers were unusually brave, and the vine armor was soaked in rainwater, but it became more oily and slippery than before, which increased the ability of the vine armor to resist attacks.

Under the city, Chen Tai watched Cao Jun retreat one after another, gradually losing the advantages he had gained before, and he was very anxious, but there was no way to do it. Chen Tai felt a little unbearable to let the soldiers go up to die, but Cao Zhen's order to retreat had not yet been transmitted, so Chen Tai could only grit his teeth and let the soldiers continue to climb the city to attack.

In the distance, Cao Zhen was also entangled, success was so close to Cao Zhen, but it was just one step away. When the heavy rain fell before, Cao Zhen told himself that it was time for Mingjin to withdraw his troops, otherwise it would just be a waste of troops, but Cao Zhen couldn't help but didn't speak. The advantage he had achieved before was exchanged for Cao Bing's life, and Cao Zhen was really reluctant to bury it.

But now, Cao Zhen can only accept the reality, on the city of Xingyang, Cao's army is completely untenable, if the soldiers are not withdrawn, the sergeants in the city will die sooner or later.

"Order, Mingjin withdraw the troops!" Cao Zhen opened his mouth and said, his tone was full of helplessness and frustration.

……

The sound of the gong to collect the troops remembered that at this time, whether it was Chen Tai, who was commanding the siege, or Zhang Ren, who was holding on to the city, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Tai finally didn't have to command the soldiers to go up and send them to death, and Zhang Ren also knew that Xingyang had once again survived the crisis.

"God help me, God help! It's dangerous, it's dangerous...... Next time, maybe it won't be so lucky! Zhang Ren muttered.

……

Luoyang.

On the city wall, Adou looked in the direction of Xingyang in the distance.

"Your Majesty, it's raining!" Zhang Wei walked over with an umbrella.

Adou nodded slightly, and asked, "The prime minister's army should be coming soon!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the prime minister should be able to arrive in Luoyang tomorrow. But now that it's raining, I think it might be a little slower. ”

"Tomorrow? That's two days faster than I expected! A Dou's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Zhang Wei, pass the order, let the prime minister march in a hurry, and reach Luoyang." “

"Your Majesty, the prime minister has already come from a rapid march day and night......"

"I know, but I'm afraid that Xingyang won't last long, if it weren't for this heavy rain, I think Zhang Ren might have been a little unsustainable. So, we have to be fast! ”
