Chapter 386: Heavy rain is coming
After a while, the wind picked up.
The water vapor was sent in the wind, but I don't know if it was sent from the river, or it was deliberately reminded that heavy rain was coming, and it was impossible to hide.
The team leader who had gone to deliver the letter returned, and together with his colleagues, he looked at the gray eastern sky with the same heavy heart.
They are still thinking, exactly, they are waiting.
They are waiting for the reaction of their marshals to see if they will choose to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light", and after the marshal has made a choice, they will make their own choice.
The Wu clan's camp was close at hand, but no one dared to make a rafter with a head.
Wait, wait, wait.
The strange smell of damp earth churned, causing the stomach-empty guards to almost gag.
They saw that Xu Baoyuan stood up, walked to a tent, and then walked out again, and returned to sit at the back of the soup table.
After a while, a few soldiers set up a shed for Xu Baoyuan, covering all the people and medicine under his head, so as not to invade the wind and rain.
Not only that, the soldiers also brought hats and robes to Xu Baoyuan, and covered the decoction with waterproof tarpaulins.
Then, the soldiers of the Wu clan who had been training gathered and formed a team.
Some of the men and horses went to the rear of the camp under the leadership of the commander, and the rest of the men and horses, under the leadership of the commander, some strengthened the camp tents, and some picked up tools and dug trenches on both sides of the camp, most of which were used to drain the camp, so as not to flood the camp.
The Wu Clan's soldiers defended the heavy rain so closely, it was enough to think about how powerful this rain should be.
The guards' hearts were cold.
Hungry and tired, if they are drenched in heavy rain, they must be sick, and how much chance of survival do they have?
The squad leader held the knife tightly, looked through the city gate hole, looked at the clean street behind him, and sighed without waiting for the choice of the handsome general
, frowned, and looked at the busy Wu clan camp again, and his heart became more and more bottomless.
He thought about it for a while, walked up to Xu Baoyuan's side and asked about the situation.
Xu Baoyuan sat cross-legged on the chair, squinting his eyes, not looking at who it was, and said lightly: "If you are obsessed, heaven will not tolerate it." With that, he waved his hand and let the squad leader leave, looking helpless.
The squad leader couldn't move, thinking to himself that if today's rain was a curse, then they couldn't escape, and they had to die. Thinking of this, he was resentful and angry with Emperor Chongyuan and the commanders and generals who ignored the generals.
After repeatedly asking Xu Baoyuan for a way to save him, but after finding nothing, the team leader could only return in vain.
He told his brothers at the head of the city to come down and hide in the cave of the city gate, at least not to get drenched.
The heroine Wu has already let go, who dares to bully the people, seize people's houses, and rob food, once discovered, regardless of the reason, immediately launch an attack, and kill them.
The defenders of the city and the soldiers of the Jade State camp who did not have the backbone did not dare to move.
At least, be obedient and live a few more days, and if you are disobedient, you will die immediately.
The dark clouds in the eastern sky came slowly, slowly, little by little.
The sun in the western sky also travels slowly, slowly, sinking little by little.
The light dimmed little by little, making people upset, dizzy, and suffering from invisible oppression.
The sound of digging a trench was heard.
The guards looked at the powerful movements and high spirits of the Wu soldiers, compared with their weak self, they could only envy, and they didn't even dare to give birth to half a point of jealousy, for fear that their sins would be more than half a point.
After a while, the sky was dark.
The hole in the gate was darker, almost dark.
The team leader stood in front of the door, looking up at the sky, sighing.
Suddenly, he heard someone say, "Brother, I'm only sixteen, I don't want to die." The voice was soft, timid, but unusually clear in the quiet cave of the city gate.
In normal times, if someone dared to say such a frustrating thing, he would have punished him severely, but now he felt the same way, and was full of sympathy and pity for the sixteen-year-old soldier.
He thought that he was nearly middle-aged, had a family and a room, but he was going to die because of the faint king, and the little soldier was only sixteen, so he was young, and he didn't even know what this world was like, and he had to be innocently affected, and he was indignant and felt that it was not worth it.
Most of them enlist in the army to make a living, and they can't do it if they are loyal to the monarch and patriotism. They are asking for food and clothing for one person or for one family. If they have received what they deserve, if they are wounded or if they die, they have no complaints. But now, they don't get anything, they can't even eat, so it's not worth it for the rest of their lives.
His heart was on fire, and he finally made up his mind, mustered up his courage, and walked to the Wu clan's camp again, not to find Xu Baoyuan, but directly to a prefect.
After a few words, the chief told him to wait and go back.
After a while, the chief returned.
The squad leader bowed his hand, handed over his saber, turned a few steps, and beckoned to his colleagues who had gathered at the city gate to visit.
The guards looked at each other, whispered for a while, and walked out one after another.
Behind them, the patrol that had been informed followed.
The news of Toucheng spread quickly, one to ten, ten to hundred.
The line became longer and longer, and one by one the soldiers came out of the city gate, connecting the gate of Linjiang City and the camp of the Wu clan, and they all handed over their swords just like the captain of the team.
In the camp of the Jade Kingdom, the down-and-out handsome generals also knew. But they didn't even have the strength to stand up, they couldn't do anything, they could only watch the soldiers in the battalion leave one by one. Phantom Moon Academy
