Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Jin led more than a dozen palace maids to bring some clothes, and the wives and concubines hurriedly put them on. Cheng Yue's clothes were personally draped for him by Mrs. Gu.

After eating, Cheng Yue put down the dishes and chopsticks, Cheng Yue walked to the eaves, looked at the dense rain outside, and stood silent.

Mrs. Song hurriedly gathered some chairs so that Cheng Yue and his wives and concubines could sit down and enjoy the rain.

Cheng Yue took Nang Jiazhen, pointed to the distance, and said with a smile: "It's time for the Japanese to come to the test, there is a group of fools who are coming to die." ”

Nangjia said with a smile: "They will suffer a little, and they will have a good show tomorrow." ”

At this time, more than ten miles outside the Honglu Pavilion, the first wave of the Japanese offensive had been launched. Large and small groups of Japanese troops poured out of the woods and from the fields and mountains to attack the Yuan and Goryeo lines.

Fujiwara Keizo and the descendants of the guards in various places did not participate, but quietly observed from a distance.

In the twilight, countless Japanese soldiers with various weapons braved the heavy rain to pounce forward, and the defenders had already prepared, and they urgently set up improvised sheds in front of the battle, and the archers could still fire arrows below. Not only that, all kinds of traps and traps were also activated at the same time, and the ground in front of the battle was also covered with large and small nails, because the light was too dim to be detected, and even if the Japanese army dodged the rain of arrows, they had to stop there.

Sharp arrows cut through the rain curtain and penetrated deep into the thin armor of the Japanese soldiers, screams and muffled snorts rose one after another, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front fell down in an instant.

The Japanese troops behind were undaunted and continued to howl and rush forward. But before he could take a few steps, the ground beneath his feet suddenly fell, revealing a shallow crater. There are sharp bamboo skewers stuck underneath!

Suddenly, another group of Japanese soldiers were injured in the lower limbs. Unable to move. But how could this shallow pit stop the Japanese from advancing?

Crossing the shallow pit, the Japanese troops who came one after another braved the rain of arrows and struggled forward, and they were about to approach the position of the Yuan army, when suddenly the Japanese soldiers in the front hugged their feet and screamed. The Japanese soldiers behind them still charged, but they were also injured by nails and rolled on the ground.

The Japanese army that took the lead was embarrassed by multiple defenses and suffered heavy casualties. The footsteps also stopped, but the follow-up Japanese troops were still frantically hugging forward, and under the crowding, there were more casualties, and the screams from the front of the battle were denser than rain.

The generals of the Yuan army and the Goryeo army unconsciously smiled, and Fujiwara Keiji and others in the distance sneered.

Hojo Somasa said disdainfully: "Is there only such a little ability?" I thought Cheng Yue was amazing. ”

Anda Shengzong said: "Cheng Yue's Song army did not make a move, and we are still facing the Yuan army and the Goryeo army. However, the hasty deployment can only be done like this at most. ”

Fujiwara shook his head and said, "What can be solved with a few planks, does Cheng Yue really think he can stop us?" ”

Fujiwara Keizo said: "I ordered the troops to continue to harass them, and I couldn't let them rest well." Get ready planks and straw mats, and tomorrow the whole army will launch a general attack! ”

"Yes!"

Tens of thousands of Japanese troops attacked for a long time. Progress has been limited, and the slippery ground has made them suffer. When it was completely dark, it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and it was impossible to raise torches in the rain, so the Japanese army had to give up their attempt and retreat in defeat.

After the Japanese army retreated, thousands of wounded soldiers who could not get rid of the battle were left behind, struggling and screaming in the rain, no one would pay attention to them, and their end could only be to die silently in the rain one by one. Even if they could endure the pain and leave, with the level of Japanese medical care, a suppurating wound would kill them.

The cold rain finally calmed their feverish brains, and the fear of death loomed over everyone. Some people began to cry, followed by more people cried, most of them were farmers in the neighborhood, some of them had weapons that were even just a wooden stick, and they wanted to make meritorious service and get money to go home, but they ended up dying helplessly here, why bother?

The night was darker, and I couldn't see my fingers. From time to time, the Japanese sent people to feint with great fanfare to drain the opponent's energy, but when they evacuated, they still ignored the wounded soldiers, and these wounded soldiers finally despaired.

At the third watch, another feint retreated, and the dead had already appeared among the wounded. Suddenly, clusters of lights flickered in the darkness, and it was actually a large number of Han soldiers and Japanese soldiers who had surrendered before, carrying lanterns covered with glass, wearing high-toothed clogs, treading water, and treating wounded soldiers everywhere.

At first, the wounded soldiers thought that they were here to kill, and they were powerless to resist, and they were going to die sooner or later anyway, so they simply closed their eyes and waited for the moment when the sharp knife pierced their chests. Who knew that in a trance, they were carried on a stretcher one by one and sent to the tent of the Song army's medical treatment, their bodies were immediately wiped dry, and the wounds were carefully disposed of.

This move undoubtedly pulled the wounded soldiers from hell to heaven, and the wounded soldiers were all moved to tears and wept, surrendered together, and were treated with peace of mind.

The Japanese were very tenacious, and throughout the night, many Japanese troops tried every means to exploit various gaps to launch feints and even actual attacks, and the sergeants guarding the periphery were exhausted, but they could only grit their teeth and persevere.

Cheng Yue listened to the sound of the rain and fell asleep peacefully, Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen in his arms slept more soundly, they believed in him wholeheartedly, even if the sky fell, there was their husband on top.

Fujiwara Keizi and others had a very hard time, they could have lived in a private house, but because they were worried that Cheng Yue would fight back at night, they had to stay in front of the situation. Living in a damp and cold tent, with water several inches deep on the ground, it was difficult to sleep comfortably because he was worried about the battle situation ahead and the preparations of the various armies.

In the early hours of the morning, the rain became a little lighter, but it still didn't stop. Before dawn, Cheng Yue got up energetically and had breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhang Wei led the generals who resisted the enemy at night to report to Cheng Yue about the battle situation last night.

Cheng Yue saw that Zhang Wei was soaking wet, and he didn't have time to change his clothes, which showed how hard he worked last night. smiled slightly, turned his head and ordered: "Wan Ze, Zhang Wei's figure is about the same as mine, you go and get a new set of internal and external clothes for him, it's okay for him to catch a cold." ”

Wan Ze replied softly, and immediately got up and walked towards Cheng Yue's bedroom.

Zhang Wei was shocked on the spot, and the rest of the generals were so envious that their eyes were red! This is the prince's clothes! I also want the princess to get it herself! When this dress is worn out, the whole army is up and down, who doesn't envy it? I knew that I wouldn't change my clothes anymore, so I don't know if there will be such a good opportunity in the future?

Pearl and Qinglian, who were outside the house, heard Cheng Yue's words, and hurriedly went from Qinglian to get a clean and snow-white towel and sent it to Zhang Wei.

Qinglian said softly: "General Zhang, please use it, you don't have to be polite." ”

Zhang Wei was moved to tears, kowtowed to Cheng Yue again and again, took the towel, and carefully dried his face and hands first. (To be continued.) )
