"The terrain around Gaotang Prefecture is on the map, and now it is raining heavily, they can only walk here. Pro-Shell Pavilion"

Sun Lei pointed to a road on the map and said, it has been raining heavily for two days and two nights tonight, the ground is muddy, and the six thousand cavalry can only take the road from Gaotang Prefecture to Zengtou City.

"Brother, let's go and prepare!"

Everyone immediately spoke happily.

"Mr. Li, you will lead the troops first, and I will arrive later."

Sun Lei looked at Li Zhu with a smile and said.

"Yes, brother!"

Li Zhu clasped his fists and saluted.

"Brother, I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo Mansion will also go!"

Wen Huanzhang opened his mouth and said, as long as someone leaves first, the rest is scattered.

"There's no way, we have limited soldiers and horses, and it's already a little difficult to deal with Zengtou City, and it's impossible for the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Daimyo Mansion to divide their troops over."

Sun Lei shook his head helplessly, he only had 15,000 soldiers and horses, and it was already very difficult to eat 6,000 cavalry in Zengtou City.

"Let's let go of Li Cheng, Song Jiang, and Lu Junyi this time, compared to six thousand war horses, they are really not enough."

Sun Lei looked at the direction of Gao Tang Prefecture and said.

……

Gaotang Prefecture, government office.

"There is water everywhere in the city, how can this battle be fought?"

Zeng Mi complained irritably, after most of the day, the water that had only reached his ankles in the morning had risen to the middle of his calves, and it looked like it might rise to near his knees tomorrow, and there was almost no dry place in the city.

"Kochifu, the thieves dug through several rivers, and the water gate was not blown up, and it couldn't be blocked in a short time, and now the water is only poured into the city."

Shan Yanqi walked into the government and reported to Gao Yaoyu.

"How many rivers have been dug through?"

Li Cheng asked with a dark face, no wonder the water in this city has been rising but not falling.

"Kochifu, I suggest abandoning the city directly, and our army will go directly out of the city to find a high ground to station, and talk about it when the rain stops."

Zeng Mi looked at Gao Yao and said, Anyway, everyone in Zengtou City in this city doesn't want to stay for a moment.

"To put it simply, it's raining now, and you don't even have a camp when you go out of the city, what should you do if the enemy sneaks up on you?"

Suo Chao looked at Zeng Tu and said, there is no city, they are like going to the battlefield without armor.

"Sneak attack? Then hit it head-on! Do you like to be in the city so much? So many of us can't beat a bunch of grass thieves? ”

Zeng Mi looked at Suo Chaodao coldly.

"You know what? How did more than 40,000 people march out of the city? If the enemy is a surprise attack, the head and tail cannot take care of each other, and the army is in chaos, that is the way to death! ”

Suo Chao glared at Zeng Tu and said, these soldiers don't know the art of war at all, and they only know how to go on a rampage when fighting.

"That's you, my cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and as soon as the enemy appears, we will kill it, so what's the point of not caring about each other!"

Zeng Mi opened his mouth and said, the head and tail can't look at each other, that is only considered by the heavy infantry of the brigade, they are light cavalry, flexible and changeable, and they are not afraid of any sneak attack at all.

"With such a heavy rain, the ground is like a swamp, do you really think you can come and go freely when you step on it? I think it's trampling on each other! ”

Guan Sheng said disdainfully, Zeng Mi said lightly, but the actual situation is not so light.

"If you don't go, let's go!"

Zeng Suo snorted and said.

"What does that mean?"

Gao Yao looked at the Zeng family and asked, After saying it for so long, the Zeng family finally said the purpose, and these soldiers wanted to leave.

"Kochifu, now we can't do anything in the city in this situation, it's better to go out of the city and find a place to station, if the enemy attacks the city, we go around the back, don't we think it's better to have horns?"

Zeng Tu said directly, since the words have been spoken, there is no need to hide them anymore.

This is much more level than the small ones of the Zeng family, Gao Yao and Li Chengdu have no way to refute it, now that it is raining and flooding in the city, the cavalry is really useless in the city, so it is better to go out of the city to respond.

"And the water in the city is getting higher and higher, and there are still a lot of dead chickens, dead mice, and insects, and many people are already sick, I heard that it is a plague, but we are not afraid, and the war horses may not be able to carry it!"

Zeng Tu said again.

"The plague?"

Everyone's faces changed, the terrible plague was clear to everyone present, floods and wars are often accompanied by plague outbreaks, and now Gaotang Prefecture is a gathering of floods and wars, and the outbreak of plague after a long time is almost doomed.

"You go and see for yourself, the city has been very fierce, and now every household is closed, lest the plague come to the door, Sun Lei is going to kill us all."

Su Ding, deputy teacher of Zengtou City, said.

As soon as the words of the plague came out, no one spoke, they all frowned and thought about countermeasures, the plague was too terrible.

The Zeng family had made up their minds, and soon gathered their men and horses, preparing to leave the city from the north gate in the middle of the night.

And they all returned to the camp with their hearts in mind.

Li Cheng summoned Song Jiang and Lu Junyi and others.

"Gather the good men tonight, and we won't be in the city anymore!"

Li Cheng looked at Song Jiang and Lu Junyi and said.

"Eunuch Li, let's go out of the city too?"

Lu Junyi looked at Li Cheng and asked, Now that everyone in Zengtou City has left, the main force of Gaotang Prefecture is only left with the soldiers and horses of their Daimyo Mansion, and if they leave, won't Gaotang Prefecture be empty.

"Those people in Zengtou City are gone, what are we still doing in the city? You haven't had enough of the blisters? ”

Li Cheng looked at Lu Junyi and asked.

Lu Junyi's face was annoyed, he had never worn wet shoes in his life, but his shoes had not dried in the past two days, his feet were now white, cyanotic, very cold, itchy and itchy, and he would have to suffer from foot disease if he continued like this.

Lu Junyi is still like this, not to mention the other soldiers, the water in the city is not clean rainwater and river water, and the water is mixed with the sewage and garbage in the city and is very dirty.

"The plague is not groundless, now that the city has become like this, it is only a matter of time before the plague breaks out, and I am responsible for the whole army under the order of Liang Zhongshu!"

Li Cheng looked at everyone and said, although he thought about using Song Jiang and Lu Junyi as cannon fodder, but they were also cannon fodder of the Daimyo's mansion, and they couldn't be lost in vain.

Moreover, the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo Mansion belong to Cai Jing's faction, this battle was raised by Gao Yao in order to help Gao Qiu take revenge, they can help, there is no need to fight to the death, Cai Jing and Gao Qiu's two factions are not good enough to that extent.

The back hall of the prefect's yamen.

"Two generals, now that Zengtou City and the Daimyo Mansion are leaving, what about you?"

Gao Yao looked at the two generals of water and fire in front of him, unlike the soldiers who had had something to do with the soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion, the Lingzhou Prefect and the Kouzhou Prefect had been promoted by Gao Qiu, and these people had no reason to leave.

"I'm willing to help the Kochi Mansion defend the city!"

Wei Dingguo and Shan Yanqi hugged their fists helplessly, they would have already retreated if the battle was like this, but they were only practicing in the state army, and this time they came to Gaotang Prefecture with a death order, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to.

"Okay, don't worry, the two generals, after this battle, my Gao family will never treat the two of them badly!"

Gao Kao watched the two draw a large pie and handed over the houses in the castle to the two of them.

Wei Dingguo and Shan Yanqi glanced at each other with a wry smile, it is difficult to say whether this situation is in the future or not, and I am afraid that Feihuang Tengda is just a bubble.
