There is a saying in the book of war, 'For the general, you can't be a general if you don't know astronomy or geography.' Under Zhang Shihua's teaching, Zhang Mingtong, who is already a qualified general, naturally knows the harm caused by heavy rain to grain transportation.

The official road leading to Suizhou is in disrepair, and because of the mountainous range in Suizhou, it can be said that walking between the mountains in the second half of the official road. Therefore, if it rains heavily, judging from the topography of the second half of the official road, it is very likely that the huge grain transportation team will be trapped in the road.

Therefore, in this way, it is very likely that the grain delivery team will miss the deadline.

Zhang Mingtong thought like this in his heart, and then when he looked in the direction of the Suizhou checkpoint, he couldn't help but have a trace of worry in his eyes.

After all, if the grain transportation team misses the deadline due to the weather, the morale of the front-line soldiers will inevitably be affected. Because even if he is a strong soldier, he can't fight hungry.

However, although he was worried in his heart, for a while, Zhang Mingtong himself did not have any good solutions.

At this time, unlike in the future, the adverse effects of the weather are really difficult to resolve, even for the black-clothed army.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Mingtong could only secretly pray in his heart that God could make it convenient for them, so that they could wait until their grain delivery team transported all the grain to the front line before it rained.

But there is a good saying, "Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for ruin." "Even from the perspective of future generations, the black-clothed army's rebellion against the cruel rule of the Yuan and Mongolian courts was a just war. But a few hours later, when it was dawn and early morning, a heavy rain came suddenly.

……

"Hurry up, get me all the grain and grass on the cart and cover it with waterproof tarpaulins, and drive all the wagons and horses to the high ground. Fast! Fast! Fast! Dozens of miles away from the place where Zhang Mingtong's soldiers and horses were stationed, the huge grain transportation team, after encountering such a sudden heavy rain, these thousands of men and horses and more than 200 carts were really trapped on the road.

However, fortunately, although it rained suddenly, because of the timely response, more than 200 truckloads of grain did not suffer any losses. So as long as the rain is a little lighter, they can move on.

But what these people didn't expect was that when it was pouring rain, the road was extremely difficult to drive, and the big cars couldn't even move forward at all. Dozens of miles away, at the foot of the mountain near the north, there were more than 800 officers and soldiers wearing hats, struggling to move forward.

"This rain can also be next day, and we should be more than thirty miles away from the grain team of the black-clothed thief, so we must be fast, we must take advantage of this time to raid their grain team, and we will have the possibility of winning." Qianhu Wu Kang took the lead in leading the team, shouting so loudly in front of people.

And hearing his words, although the road is extremely difficult because of the rain, even such an elite officer and soldier will fall down if he is not careful on the road. But because it was a matter of life and death, these soldiers still gritted their teeth and persevered, and struggled to speed up the progress of their people little by little.

However, for such a scene, except for these 800 elite officers and soldiers, no one knew about it.

Because no one really could have imagined that in such a weather, there would be such a group of men and horses, who risked their lives to attack when their troops were far inferior to people.

And seeing this, I have to say. No matter how corrupt the group is, as long as the population base is sufficient, there will always be warriors and heroes.

……

More than two hours later, there was still sixty miles away from the Suizhou checkpoint, and the grain transport team that was temporarily trapped on the high slope. Because he was responsible for protecting this grain transportation team, and temporarily became the supreme commander of this grain transportation team, Qianhu Ma Lei, who had been down for more than two hours, but there was no decrease in the rain, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Damn, why hasn't the rain stopped. Is it really going to be a day and a night? Because he was worried that the sudden heavy rain would cause the grain and grass to be out of date, Ma Lei, who hid in the tent, sighed and cursed.

And hearing this scolding from Ma Lei, a personal guard guarding behind him couldn't help but persuade: "General, you don't need to worry too much, General Zhang still has almost two days of grain and grass on his side." Even if this rain can last for a day and a night, as long as we hurry, we can deliver the food before General Zhang and the others run out of food. ”

"Hey, okay. I hope so. "Hearing the persuasion of my own guards, I also knew that the rain would not stop for a while. After Ma Lei nodded like this, he couldn't help but turn around and go back to the tent.

After all, it's not something that you can solve with a sigh when it rains, and at this time, apart from waiting for the rain to stop, Ma Lei and they really can't do anything else.

However, at this time, it took more than two hours to brave the wind and rain, and the officers and soldiers who could observe the sky and predict the wind and rain, Wu Kang, could not help but take heavy steps, with 800 elite soldiers and horses under his command, braved the rain to touch the vicinity of the huge grain transportation team of the black-clothed army.

"General, look at that high slope. With so many carts and tents covered with tarpaulins, I think these people must be the grain caravan of the black-clothed thieves. Wu Kang's deputy Qianhu pointed to the high slope where Ma Lei and they were stationed, and he was already drenched in soup by the heavy rain, and at this time he couldn't help but show a rather stiff smile on his face.

"Yes, finally, finally we found it. Quickly, send my military order down and find a place to shelter from the rain, so that the brethren can eat something and rest for half an hour. After half an hour, we'll do it right away, understand? ”

Saying this, looking at the huge grain transportation team of the black-clothed army, Wu Kang's face couldn't help but show a hideous and ruthless expression.

So as soon as Wu Kang's voice fell, the deputy Qianhu under him couldn't help but sing a promise, and then trotted down to make arrangements.

"Quick, brothers, keep up, let's go elsewhere to take shelter from the rain and rest, and when we wait for half an hour, we will attack," the generals among the eight hundred officers and soldiers arranged loudly, and Wu Kang's order was carried out as soon as possible.

Therefore, judging from this organizational ability alone, the 800 soldiers and horses led by Wu Kang are indeed a rare elite.

But even so, Wu Kang, who was sheltering from the rain under the tree and silently eating some damp dry food in his hands, still couldn't help but be a little nervous before the war at this time. Because he knew that this was their chance to feed a sneak attack. If they all fail in this opportunity, then in front of the powerful black-clothed army, when they wait for their result, they will only be defeated.

So at this time, Wu Kang was silently eating the dry food in his hands, and at the same time, he couldn't help but keep cheering himself up in his heart.

And just like that, in the blink of an eye, half an hour's rest time passed. After resting for half an hour, I filled my stomach again. So now Wu Kang and the others are full of energy.

Therefore, looking at the direction of the black-clothed army's food transport team, Wu Kang couldn't help but order again in a loud voice: "It's all here, everyone listen to me." Whether we people win or lose, life or death, it depends on this battle. So follow me, let's do it! ”

With such a shout, Wu Kang showed the war knife in his hand, and he couldn't help but brave the wind and rain, and led more than 800 elite soldiers under his command to touch the huge grain transportation team of the black-clothed army.

"Kill, !!" After quietly walking in, looking at the outline of the camp of the black-clothed army food transport team not far away, Wu Kang, who took the lead, let out an earth-shattering roar. Wearing armor and holding a sharp sword, he couldn't help but be the first to rush towards the camp of the black-clothed army's food transport team.

And the rest of the officers and soldiers saw him like this, and were encouraged by him, but everyone fought bravely to be the first, and one by one braved the wind and rain, roared angrily, and killed him.

"Oh no, enemy attack! Enemy attack! "So far, no matter how sluggish the black-clothed army is, it has reacted immediately. But it was only at this time that I reacted, and it was really a little late in time.

Because at this time, all the black-clothed sergeants were not wearing armor because of the weather.

So when they heard the enemy attack in the heavy rain, everyone, including Ma Qianhu, was just wearing a thin black military uniform, so they rushed out with their weapons.

"Kill, !!" The rain was too heavy. At this time, the sight of the black-clothed sergeant was not much better than at night.

Therefore, these soldiers rushed out with their weapons even at the first time. But as far as the eye can see, apart from the pouring rain, there is no way to see where the enemy is.

Although the sound of shouting and killing can be heard in the ears, the sound of shouting and killing is heard from all directions. From the sound alone, it is impossible to know the enemy's position, and it is impossible to tell how many enemy troops there are.

So in such a situation, the militia who have not received much training on weekdays, and the vast majority of people have never seen blood. I couldn't help but be frightened by such a situation, and I didn't have the courage to run around like dizzy flies.

And it is precisely for this reason that these militias not only failed to help at this time, but indirectly became a drag.

However, after all, this black-clothed army is also a battle-hardened army, and Ma Lei, as an official of a thousand households, also has some experience in how to deal with such a situation.

So at this time, Ma Lei couldn't care about the chaotic militia and people in the camp. Instead, he let his personal guards beat the war drums at the first time, so as to gather the soldiers in the camp.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of war drums was silent and loud, and even in such bad weather, the black-clad sergeants in the battalion could clearly hear their war drums.

So after the dull and loud sound of war drums, these soldiers, who were still a little flustered, couldn't help but find their backbone again. Under the leadership of their respective platoon commanders or even commanders, they converged in all directions in the direction from which the drums of war came.

"Oh no, the black-clad thieves are gathering. Quick, don't fight, everyone follow me, follow me in the direction of the grain cart and kill! "Since the soldiers of the black-clothed army can hear the sound of war drums, the officers and soldiers who are attacking can naturally hear it as well.

Therefore, when he realized that the sound of the war drums was used to gather the soldiers, the officers and soldiers of Qianhu Wu Kang couldn't help but shout like this, and led the eight hundred soldiers under his command to kill them in the direction of the grain truck.

But even so, Wu Kang and the others also understand that it is estimated that there will be a fierce battle to be fought next.

Because the direction in which they are now charging, that is, the direction from which the drums of war are coming. So they must be fighting a fierce white-knuckle battle with the black-clad army next.

"Kill! Quick, charge me, kill them before they gather! Wu Kang, who was the first soldier, roared so angrily. At this time, with the advantage of numbers, they easily defeated two small black-clothed soldiers in the process of charging.

However, in this way, it did boost Wu Kang's morale. So at this time, Wu Kang and the eight hundred of them couldn't help but turn into a sharp arrow, and the whole team seemed so unstoppable.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! "As the charge grew, the drums of war grew stronger. And just like this, after Wu Kang and the others rushed to a distance of about four or five hundred meters again, through the rain curtain, Wu Kang and the others couldn't help but see more than 500 black-clothed sergeants who were standing in front of the grain truck.

Yes, because of the short time, the black-clothed army only gathered more than half of the centaurs in a hurry.

But even so, the speed of the black-clothed army's assembly still surprised Wu Kang and them very much.

After all, from the time they attacked to the present, less than a quarter of an hour had passed. And in such a short period of time, under such a heavy rainstorm, the black-clothed army can gather 500 men and horses, and in this era, it can definitely be worthy of the word speed.

Anyway, ask yourself, Wu Kang's soldiers under him will definitely not be able to do this level.

But even so, Wu Kang and the others will never be afraid of this. Since a person like Wu Kang dared to take on such a task at the beginning, to a certain extent, he was actually putting the life and death of his own people out of the question.

So in the face of the black-clothed sergeant who was waiting for him, Wu Kang licked his slightly dry lips with his tongue, and he couldn't help but let out a roar like a beast.

"Kill, !!" The roar was like thunder. And with this roar, this fierce battle, which was related to the final victory or defeat of the two armies, also broke out completely in this small battlefield.
