[I forgot to release it when I set it.,I'm sorry.,I'm sorry.】 In addition, if you have something to do during the day, the first watch at noon will be a little later. 】

Covered with the military order of the Great Seal of the Commander, the messengers were led out of Lu separately to gather the Xidong barbarian army that had been scattered to various prefectures and counties on the south bank of the Fuliang River.

In the next few days, the rain fluctuated and did not stop. The water of the Fuliang River is surging more and more, and the sound of the rolling turbid current is like a thunderous drum, hitting the camp all the time.

On the flat land, there are puddles everywhere, and after the rainwater collects, it even forms a small stream, which flows to the low-lying places.

Fortunately, the location of the official camp was a few feet above the flat ground, but in fact, the main body was a village not far from Thang Long Castle - Cochin had a lot of rain every year, and it was often flooded, and most of the villages were built as high as possible, and the water flow only bypassed the camp.

However, according to the guides, this kind of situation did not stop at the beginning, and it was not common in the past. It happened to hit a rainy and early year, and this luck can be said to be reversed.

In the past few days, almost all the summoned tribes have arrived, and villages far and near outside the city have been occupied by them. Although it is said that if you want to participate in the siege, there will inevitably be some damage, but on the one hand, it is related to the distribution of the most rear, and no one dares or wants to be absent, and on the other hand, it is because of the feeling of being a little frightened by this rainstorm that has been too much in advance, and I hope to be closer to the main backbone.

It was not the first time that Huang Jinman had come to Thang Long Mansion, but when he came to the largest city in Tiannan before, he had come to pay tribute as a courtier who had subdued Jiaozhi. Some of the goods that have been accumulated with great difficulty have been looted by the Jiaozhi people, and the gold nuggets produced in Guangyuan Prefecture, as long as they are a little larger, have to be offered with both hands.

And after becoming a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that he had a fortune, the Guangyuan Prefecture under his control, the tribute to be handed over to the imperial court was only a symbolic collection. Four taels of gold a year plus a little local product, just on behalf of the imperial court's rule over Guangyuan Prefecture, I heard that it is used to worship the Taimiao, and there is no such ferocious attitude as Jiaozhi.

Comparing the difference between Jiaozhi and the Great Song Dynasty, some cave masters may want to protect their strength, but Huang Jinman intends to do his best to attack the city for the Great Song Dynasty. As long as he pleases the two marshals who are leading the army now, as well as Yan Da and Li Xian, who are important ministers who can speak in front of the Son of Heaven, and the Emperor and Song Dynasty officials and troops to rely on, what else can prevent his Huang family from becoming a pivotal family in Jiaozhou in this piece of land in the south?

He just regretted that it was raining now, and it would have been much easier if it was a sunny day. The houses in the city were all made of bamboo and wood, and if you shot a rocket into it with a bow or threw a lighted oil cannon, which shocked your son, and the wind was right, the whole city could be burned to the ground.

Soon, Jin Jinman was introduced into the tent, and when all the cave masters gathered, he stood in the first place with envy.

Different from the worries during the military discussion, Zhang Dian appeared full of confidence in front of the barbarian cave masters, "The thieves in the city are just surviving. The cycle of heavenly reason, retribution is unpleasant. How Li Changjie captured Yongzhou that day, and now how Ben Shuai wants to capture Shenglong Mansion. ”

"It is true that it is not easy to storm a city in the rain, but it is also difficult to defend a city, and it is difficult for arrows to come in handy."

"There were reinforcements in Yongzhou at the beginning, and there will be no reinforcements in Shenglong Mansion today!"

"If Jiaozhi dares to fight, he will have his own officers and troops to resist."

Zhang Dan's words made everyone feel a lot more relieved, with the cover of rain, there is no need to worry about the arrows shot in the city, rush to the city and throw the dirt bag down, this is not difficult at all, as long as the official army can block the Jiaozhi army from going out of the city to counterattack! Some tribes didn't even use the cover of the army because they brought with them the raw passes they had just plundered on the south bank of the Fuliang River.

There is no army that must be saved outside, and there is no city that must be defended inside. But that being said, the reinforcements of the Cochin people are like rain that keeps falling from the sky.

Thang Long is no better than Tokyo.

Fifty miles out of the surrounding Tokyo Castle, the city is still a bustling area lined with houses and houses. But after leaving Thang Long Province, it is basically a field and a village, not a bustling market.

This is not good for the besieging army. Rice fields are the most prone to water accumulation, and most of the rainwater collects into ponds, which were originally planted with rice. Except for a few official roads that were deliberately heightened and reinforced during construction, if you want to get close to the walls of Thang Long Province from other ways, you even have to row a boat.

After gathering a group of cave masters to give a lecture, Zhang Dian immediately ordered the dispatch of troops. No matter how heavy the rain in the sky is, it is actually not that dangerous, but if the barracks are soaked in the rain for a long time, something big will happen.

The Annan camp relied on a clean and hygienic diet to ensure a low incidence rate for the western army in the south, but now it is becoming more and more difficult to ensure a clean diet. As long as it is a flood, it often causes diseases such as cholera. The lack of clean drinking water, and the difficulty of producing firewood due to the rain, could not be delayed for ten days, and if it dragged on, morale would be low, and the disease would be epidemic in the camp.

Although Zhang Dian and Han Gang were conceited, they did not feel that they had the level of Sima Yi's attack on Liaodong, and with their ability to control the army, they could not wait for a more suitable opportunity at the risk, and they had to fight as soon as possible and capture Shenglong Mansion.

Coming out of the official army camp, the cave masters rushed back to the station, and for a while, the horns continued to resound outside the city of Thang Long Mansion.

'The Song army is about to attack the city! ’

Hearing the horn from outside the city, in the Huanglong Temple, together with Li Changjie, accompanied the Empress Dowager Yilan and Li Qiande, the son of Dayue, and prayed to the protector of the Yellow Dragon, Zong Jian secretly sighed: The time to come is finally here.

At the beginning, he led the army to attack the Great Song Dynasty with Li Changjie, but because of the defeat of Yongzhou, he was belittled at the same time as Li Changjie. However, Li Changjie's demotion was just for example, and Zong Jia's demotion was a real cast. It's just that at the critical juncture, the people in the city are panicking, and a capable general like Zong Jian can come in handy. Not to mention the direct official reinstatement, he also added a knighthood, and made up for all the heirs in the family, and even received the favor of the imperial court together with his brothers and nephews.

It's just that he doesn't have a bottom in his heart at all, the army has no combat power, and it can only rely on the rain in the sky to make much of a difference, which Zong Ji is very suspicious in his heart. The Song army would never retreat easily, since Han Gang, one of the two commanders who led the army to attack, was the one who rushed south from Guizhou and beat them off guard, so it was almost a fantasy to expect the rainy season to repel them.

It's just that he is worshipping Huanglong right now, and Zong Jian knows that it is inconvenient to say more.

"The Song army is about to attack the city." Zong Jian said something inconvenient, but Li Changjie said it without scruples.

"Tai Wei, Zong Qing." Empress Dowager Yilan's title to the two courtiers clearly reflects the difference in the identities of Li Changjie and Zong Yan. Empress Dowager Dayue of the Yanguan harem, frowned lightly: "I wonder if the city defense of the capital can stop the Song army?" ”

"Zhang Dian summoned the allied forces of all the tribes to gather outside the Thang Long Mansion, originally to attack the city. At present, before the rain stops, it is actually self-defeating to force an attack. As long as there are two or three defeats, there will not be much morale to storm the city. Li Changjie has a deep understanding of this, and this is his personal experience full of blood and tears.

Empress Dowager Yilan's eyes lit up: "In other words, as long as this attack can be repulsed, the Song army will withdraw?" ”

"In the next two days, if the Song army doesn't retreat, it will have to be fish and shrimp in the river." Li Changjie's smile was full of confidence. The road to the infinite sky, just when it was on the verge of extinction, suddenly it rained heavily from the sky, and the rainy season appeared a month in advance, not the arrangement of God, what could be the reason? No matter what means the Song people used to attack the city, even if it was the accumulation of soil and mountains, Li Changjie didn't care. With the help of God, I have confidence in my heart, where can I worry about anything, "Captain Zong, you said that's the case?" ”

Zong Jian lowered his head and raised it again, as if nodding, and replied with an affirmative smile to Li Changjie, Empress Dowager Yilan, and Li Qiande, the son of heaven who had been quietly guarding his mother's side: "Even if the Song people have any conspiracy tricks, I Dayue has the protection of the Yellow Dragon, and I can keep the capital safe!" ”

Li Changjie smiled and said, "What Captain Zong said is exact!" ”

"Bring pen and ink!" Li Changjie spread his hands, as if he was the master, and called the attendants accompanying him in the palace.

Holding the brush dipped in thick ink in his hand, Li Changjie stood under the wall on one side of the main hall of the Yellow Dragon Temple. The plain white powder wall was ordered by Li Changjie the day before yesterday, and it was just painted, and it was new, and even in the corner, because the rain has not stopped, there are still some traces of dampness.

Under the gaze of the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven, colleagues, and attendants, Li Changjie waved a book on the snow-white wall:

"The southern mountains and rivers of the emperor dwell, are completely divided in the book of heaven; How to send captives to invade, you wait to see its failure! ”

After writing a poem, Li Changjie put down his pen, he was only a little literate and ink, and his calligraphy was not outstanding, but this poem was from the chest, and he didn't need to be decorated with many empty words, which exhausted his mood.

I read it a few times from beginning to end, wrote down the name and year, turned his head, and Li Changjie laughed loudly again, "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Dayue has the blessing of the gods, and the Song people rashly attacked, not knowing how to advance or retreat, this is self-defeating." And wait a little while, the minister will lead the army to expel the Song people from the country, and return me to the great and bright future! Gao played a triumphant song to return to the capital to repay the Queen Mother and His Majesty. ”

The young Li Gande read the poems written by the ministers, his face turned red, and he stammered excitedly: "When the Taiwei returns victoriously, I will ...... I personally set up wine for the captain and congratulated him on the victory! ”

Li Gande and Li Changjie fell into a frenzy of excitement together, and Zong Jian echoed the smiling face, his eyes moved slightly, but he found that there was a strong melancholy in the eyes of the young queen mother.

Zong Jian shook his head secretly, Li Changjie pinned all his hopes on God, but it seems that not everyone can be so relieved.
