The sky suddenly exploded, and a bean-sized raindrop fell on the back of Jiang Chuan's hand on the city wall, he looked up at the gloomy sky and muttered, "Is it finally going to fall?" ”

He was dressed in bright silver armor, the red tassels on the top of his helmet fluttered in the wind, and the big red cloak behind him was blown by the wind and hunted. His left hand rested on the scabbard of the Lord's Sword at his waist, and his eyes looked back at the Qing army outside the city.

Next to him, Liu Ji, who has always been a long shirt with big sleeves and a graceful demeanor, is also dressed in a big change today, wearing soft armor, an iron helmet on his head, a big red cloak behind him, and a long sword hanging from his waist, full of Confucian generals.

"The so-called people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and the military advisor today really has the style of an ancient famous general." Looking at Liu Ji next to him, Jiang Chuan looked up and down and then laughed teasingly.

Liu Ji smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Don't make fun of me." Since Liu Ji is a member of the Jiang family's army, he should be strong and stubborn, and he will unite with the lord and the soldiers. Even if you can't go into battle and kill the enemy yourself, you can still use it to boost morale. Otherwise, a scholar standing on this slaughtering city wall would have become an anomaly. “

Jiang Chuan praised: "What the military advisor said makes sense. Strategist, look at the army formation of the Tartars below, what do you think? ”

"The slaughter is strict and orderly, and the momentum is like a rainbow, which should not be underestimated." Liu Ji groaned slightly.

"Indeed, this is a team that should not be taken lightly. In a country where the country's strength is on the rise, the momentum of the army is the reaction of the country's strength. Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement.

"The Lord is wise. So in this battle, we are not only fighting with the Qing soldiers below, but also fighting with the state of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If we win this battle, then the state of the Manchus will inevitably be affected. Then it will be of great benefit to our development and expansion in the future. Liu Ji said in a deep voice.

"In that case, let's see if we can take the fortune of the Tartar this time." Jiang Chuan smiled faintly.

As he finished speaking, there was another loud click overhead, and then a bolt of lightning pierced the sky and the sky, illuminating the gloomy sky suddenly.

Immediately afterward, huge raindrops fell rapidly and violently, crackling on the blue-brick city wall.

"Let's go, military advisor, go into the city tower to hide from the rain." Jiang Chuan pulled Liu Ji, and the two walked quickly towards the city tower.

The heavy rain that had been held back for two days finally poured down, accompanied by thunder and lightning that sounded from time to time and crossed the sky, as far as the eye could see, the whole heaven and earth were a vast, and the Qing army array under the city was a little unable to see clearly in this heavy rain.

The five thousand people in the vanguard of the Qing army had just come to the fortress of Erlong Valley, and when they saw such a tall city wall building in the distance, they all exclaimed in unison.

Most of these people have been to Datong City, although Datong City is also a city with high walls and thick walls, but the city wall is only about three or four zhang, which is already very high in the eyes of the Qing soldiers.

But I didn't expect that the bandit nest in front of me would build the walled wall higher than the wall of Datong City, and even double the height, which is simply mad.

This is a horse thief's lair, this is clearly a perfectly defended tall and sturdy fortress!

Looking at such a tall and sturdy wall, there were few Qing soldiers who were not surprised by the strength of this group of thieves who had previously disdained it. Many people are open to re-evaluating the strength of the enemy they will face.

It's just that the sudden heavy rain made it impossible for them to continue to look at the enemy fortress in front of them, and they began to set up camp one by one in the heavy rain, to set up the camp for the main force of the army that came later.

Otherwise, once the camp has not been set up when the army arrives, then the former army commander will definitely be unlucky.

And the consequence of bad luck is inevitably to lose your head.

In addition to the strong physical fitness and fighting spirit of not fearing death, the harsh military discipline was also one of the important factors.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the entire heaven and earth became a white expanse, and people's vision was seriously blocked, and they could not see clearly from ten meters away.

All the soldiers of the Jiang family army stationed at the head of the city were ordered to hide in the city tower. The soldiers stationed on the tower took refuge in the second and first floors to take shelter from the rain.

On the entire city wall, you can only see a big flag with the word "river" in gold on a red background flying and fluttering in the storm.

In such weather, neither the offensive nor the defending side will have a fight. Not to mention how much damage the enemy can inflict on you, even God will make you embarrassed.

The scope of this heavy rain was not small, and the main army of Duoduo, which was fifty miles away, was also seriously hindered in its marching speed because of this sudden rainstorm.

After braving the torrential rain for a while, the rear army came to report that because the roads were muddy, many baggage vehicles were stuck in the mud, and the marching speed slowed down suddenly.

Although the cavalry was a little better, the four hooves of the war horse also fell into the soft muddy water, and the speed was also greatly affected. And the infantry is even more miserable, the soles of their feet are covered with mud, and they have to shake off the mud on the soles of their feet every step they take, which can really be said to be difficult.

Moreover, the heavy rain tended to get heavier and heavier, and Duoduo had no choice but to order a temporary camp to avoid the rain.

In the middle of the city tower, Jiang Chuan stood at the lookout and looked down, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Military advisor, have all the people settled down?" ”

From the very beginning of entering the valley, Egawa was more worried about the mudslide hazards caused by landslides.

In my previous life, I often watched the news report on how many people had been buried by landslides in various places, which made people feel sad.

This valley is originally sandwiched between two mountains, and the mountains are all stone mountains, once the landslide, the consequences are unimaginable.

He had already told Liu Ji about this, but now that he saw the rain getting heavier and heavier, he suddenly remembered.

The people of about 10,000 people under his hands are initially settled, and they can't withstand any accidents.

"My lord, please rest assured, I have taken people to check all the places near the people's residences where there may be landslides, basically the vegetation is lush, the mountains are solid, there should be no possibility of landslides. In some places where it feels more dangerous, I have arranged for people to be moved. The residential construction site was also temporarily suspended, and everything was resumed after the rain stopped. ”

Liu Ji replied calmly.

"Well, the people are the cornerstone of our inheritance, and we must not cause trouble to the people because of our negligence." Jiang Chuan nodded.

"The Lord loves the people with kindness, and it is a blessing to the people. Liu Ji will definitely not disappoint his father-in-law. Liu Ji arched his hand and said in a deep voice.

"I naturally believe in military advisors. I just don't know how long this heavy rain will be, and I won't wait until the rain stops and the tartars below are washed away, so I don't have to play. Jiang Chuan told a bad joke and laughed to himself.

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, but secretly complained in his heart that this cold joke of the lord was not funny at all.
