Chapter 266: Thunder
This night, strange things happened one after another.
The 30,000 imperial troops stationed around the central capital first saw a large dark cloud rolling up all over the sky, covering the originally bright moonlight, and when they lit their torches, a torrential rain suddenly fell from the sky that did not belong to this season.
The rain curtain was continuous, not only extinguishing the torches, but also blocking the already obscure vision.
Yan Zhenshan, who was located in the camp, was restless, and always felt that something was going to happen tonight.
"Someone!"
"General, what's the matter?" The adjutant stepped into the tent.
"Send more people to watch the granary, I always feel that this rain is coming strangely."
The adjutant was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he still took the order.
Burning the granary is the most common means of attacking the enemy, but now that the heavy rain is pouring down, it is also the most unsuitable time to use this method, Yan Shaoshan doesn't know why such a ridiculous idea was born in his mind.
Without waiting for the order to be delivered, the heavy rain that was originally a line of water and sky suddenly stopped, and then a fire lit up in the direction of the granary.
……
After the fire was completely extinguished, most of the grain and grass had been burned, and the other party poured fire oil in advance, and the rain had stopped, so it took a lot of effort to extinguish it.
Yan Shaoshan frowned and looked at the grain and grass that had been burned to charcoal, his heart was full of shock, the other party entered the granary by the dark clouds and heavy rain, and ignited the grain and grass when the rain stopped abruptly, as if he had grasped the opportunity.
Before leaving, Wang Quanquan told Yan Shaoshan that there were strange people in the opponent's army, and asked him to be careful, but he never expected that the other party would be like this.
Whether it is good to be able to calculate the timing of the rain, or whether it can cause heavy rain, it is not something that can be done by manpower, if this is the case, how can this battle be fought?
Just when he was stunned, the voice of his subordinates suddenly came from outside:
"The general is not good, the other party suddenly opened the city gate and attacked."
Yan Shaoshan quickly got up when he heard this, "Prepare to fight." ”
……
In the middle capital, Wen Fuding, who is now the only Taoist priest in the Chuanqi Mansion, stood at the head of the city wall, squinting at the battle under the city.
The Chuan Qi Mansion suffered a catastrophe because of him, and the Son of Heaven was furious, and directly removed the Chuan Qi Mansion from the Central Plains Dao Tong, and the Taoist priests in the door all died because of this.
It has been 300 years since the founding of the ancestor and the master, and although the background is not as good as that of Zhengyi, Quanzhen and other big schools, its reputation is not weak at all.
The main talisman in the door, it is said that the original Taizu King Mu killed too much, resulting in a dream of ghosts every night, and finally invited a ghost charm in the house to stick it on the beam of the house, so that it can be peaceful.
As a result, the Chuan Gong Mansion has been favored by the royal family, not only will each generation of the head of the sect receive the purple gold robes given by the Son of Heaven, but also Ouchi will purchase a large number of talismans from the Chuan Qi Mansion every year, making money, seeking blessings, adding Ding, and avoiding evil.
The Son of Heaven of the Wang family trusted the Chuan Fu Mansion so much, but the other party chose to help the rebel and rebel, which made the Son of Heaven not chill.
……
"Wen Daochang, I'm tired."
Wang Zhide, who was dressed in black armor, stepped forward and said that the untimely heavy rain just now was from the hand of this Taoist priest.
Wang Shande is also the first time to see this kind of scene, no altar, no incense burner, even a peachwood sword, just a dark blue talisman, it caused a heavy rain, when the talisman burned out, the rain stopped, it was really a fairy ability.
Zhou Jiuer on the side was also amazed, everyone is a Taoist priest, although he is extremely accurate in fortune-telling, but if he wants to let him come to this hand, he is not only to drive ducks to the shelves, but to drive pigs to the trees.
The battle under the city was in full swing at this time, both sides took out the firearms, and every time they fired in a row, there must be a row of people falling, although the battlefield is still hand-to-hand to occupy the majority, but the role that firearms can play should not be underestimated.
Wang Shande squinted his eyes at this time, only glad that he had intercepted a batch of firearms, although this kind of behavior is tantamount to trying to see the dagger, but now it seems that everything is very worthwhile, if there are no firecrackers in hand, even if there is a general like Zhao Hu, he may not be able to defeat the other party.
"Kingship." The name suddenly came out of the king's mouth.
It was he who single-handedly established the armory, and this eighth brother was not only able to cause a lot of trouble by causing accidents, but also a bunch of strange things, which were surprisingly useful.
Putting aside personal grievances, Wang Zhide had to admit that he was an extremely capable person, and if he could, he wouldn't want to kill him, but would the other party really give in?
"Chief Wendao, you once said that the king's authority is a dragon like me, and he will be my biggest obstacle. But this time I went north, I shed enough blood, if it wasn't necessary, I didn't want to kill each other anymore, but is there any other way? ”
The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes when he heard this, slowly stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice after a while:
"If you want the throne to be perpetuated, this man must be killed, and if he is left behind, he will be a disaster in the future."
Wang Zhide's face was unwavering when he heard this, and he didn't continue to ask, but Zhou Jiuer on the side listened to it with his eyelids, he happened to know the eighth prince, and the two still had some deep and shallow friendship.
……
The battle under the city has come to an end, although the dynasty army reacted quickly under the command of Yan Shaoshan, but the granary was burned, which would still affect morale somewhat, and Zhao Hu's side had the right time and place, so even if there was a huge disparity in numbers, the dynasty army was still at a disadvantage.
Seeing that 30,000 horses were beaten and retreated by 10,000 people of the other side, Yan Shaoshan felt bitter, and at this moment, the sound of neat horses' hooves suddenly came from the north, and someone pointed to the north and shouted:
"Look, Peng Cheng's support has arrived."
When everyone heard the sound, they looked to the north, and saw that under the bright moonlight, a group of people and horses were marching towards this side.
The defenders of Pengcheng are only 5,000 at full strength, but in today's battle situation, even if only 1,000 people come, it is also a boost to this team whose morale is close to collapse.
But Pengcheng is here at the earliest, it will take two days at the earliest, and it has only been less than two hours since the granary was burned, and even if Pengcheng sends reinforcements, it is impossible to arrive in such a short time.
Wang Zhide, who was on the city wall in the distance, was obviously aware of this, and he looked at the so-called "reinforcements" and said calmly:
"It is worthy of being the future flag bearer of the Yan family's army, and he does have some ability."
Wen Fuding stroked his beard and smiled:
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, and the poor road will cut off his thoughts."
After that, a yellow rune paper in his hand was thrown, only to see the rune paper moving in the air without wind, floating straight forward, after flying out of ten zhang, it suddenly "bang" spontaneously combusted, and with the burning of the rune paper, the dark clouds that had originally dispersed gathered again.
Zhao Hu, who was commanding, raised his head, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and then shouted into the sky:
"Heavenly thunder help me!"
As Zhao Hu shouted, a bowl of thick lightning fell from the sky and hit a big tree directly, with a sound that shook the sky.
The Wang Dynasty Army looked at this scene stupidly, and even stopped the movements in his hands, on the other hand, the morale of the rebels was unprecedentedly high at this time, and they roared and raised their knives and rushed towards the Wang Dynasty Army.
Yan Shaoshan sighed when he saw this, he was on guard against low morale when he was burned from the granary, and for this reason, he specially ordered someone to pretend to be reinforcements, but the morale that was finally gathered was still crushed by this thunderbolt.
"Withdraw!"
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Yan Shaoshan had to give the order to retreat.
