The autumn rain is notoriously frequent.

At this moment in Suiyang City, Yu Bo seemed to hear the prayers of the city guards, and he was so merciful that he went on all night, and in the early morning of the next day, there was no sign of stopping.

At this time, in the east hall of the two-story attic of the inner city, a room of people sat in a room, all of whom were wearing armor and hanging blades, and their spirits were not relaxed because of the rain outside. This first autumn rain still came in time, and for the defenders of Suiyang, the longer the rain fell, the better, and it was best to keep it going.

The rain is a great help for the people in the city. First of all, the enemy army will basically not attack the city in the rain, no general will be stupid enough to call the soldiers to fight in the rain, whether it is a man or a horse, hanging such heavy armor and equipment, dragging the body in the mud to march is to find a dead end, so at this moment the Suiyang defenders, you can take advantage of the heavy rain to take a break, the frequency of the opponent's mad dog-like attack is also a little unbearable, this time just can ask the soldiers to take off their armor, lie on the kang and sleep well, a good dream is not better than fighting with others!

The second is that the rain is also particularly beneficial for the entire city defense. When Suiyang City was built a thousand years ago, there were Mohist scholars to guide and participate, the terrain of the construction is higher, the drainage system is excellent, the rain in the city will basically not accumulate water, the rainwater will flow down the drainage hole canal to the moat, some years in the summer rainstorm is frequent, and even the moat can be filled. At this moment, with the convergence of these trickles, the moat should still be able to rise some water level, so that the enemy army will attack the city, and it will be more difficult. In addition, the nature of water is to flow low, and the defenders have special personnel to inspect the ground in the city in the rain, and follow the water potential to find out in advance whether the enemy has dug a dark passage, eliminate hidden dangers, and break their calculations.

In addition, the houses and residences in the city, whether it is the army or the people, are all old houses with earth and stone structures, and it is normal to encounter rain, but the besieging army outside the city is different. In order to prevent the defenders of Suiyang from breaking through, the enemy troops were camped on the main road outside the city, the most front line was only five miles away from Suiyang City, the second line of defense was fifteen miles, and Yin Ziqi's command camp was in the rear, forty miles away. Because the land is barren and sparsely populated, the troops camped are all cow and sheepskin tents, and after a long rain, water naturally enters from all sides, even if it is Yin Ziqi's commander's camp, there are occasional leaks, not to mention ordinary sergeants.

Yin Ziqi is not as good as Zhang Xun, after all, he is a general, and he doesn't have much affection for those lowly soldiers. In his opinion, those untouchables, compared to cattle, are just human speakers, how can they take care of their own affairs, dealing with the new emperor's dog legs every day is enough for him to be annoyed, as long as his descendants and soldiers are comfortable, it is okay, and it is okay for others to live and starve.

Therefore, at this moment, the rebels of the Tang Dynasty who surrendered and returned to the ordinary barracks are natural and justified to be angry and suffer. They are also confused, they originally followed their commanders to eat in the state soldiers, did not fight, and paid money, and occasionally could play a little autumn breeze on the common people, whether it was their own comfort or the comfort of their families, they were all good errands, and the neighbors of the family villages and towns mentioned their status as officers, and they also took care of them a lot. Who would have thought that two years ago, there was a sudden war, and I didn't understand what the situation was, so I surrendered with the leader of the leader, not only following those barbarian soldiers across the state and county, but also holding knives and guns to fight with people, which made them miserable, originally joined the army to buy a comfortable and comfortable, who knew that now they have to work hard, this is not fun at all. And since I fought with these barbarians, I didn't talk about dying in battle, and when I didn't fight, I had to be bullied by those brute beard soldiers.

When they surrendered, they didn't know them, they only knew to follow the commander, as for where to go, they didn't dare to ask, and when they entered the large army of others, looking at those brute beards who looked obviously different from themselves, they realized that they had become traitors and wanted to oppose the emperor. They also thought that they couldn't do it, but they were just a firehead soldier, their arms couldn't twist their thighs, and what the chief said was what they wanted, so they could only follow it in such a daze, and they always looked forward to finishing the battle quickly, so that they could go back to their hometown, and never get involved in the birds of being a soldier for the rest of their lives.

Because they surrendered, the Han soldiers who were still high in the past, those brute beards who turned over looked down on them even more, scolded them for what kind of two dogs, and let them rush to the front when they fought, they had to take the enemy's arrows first, and they had to block the enemy's knives first; When they don't fight, they treat them as cattle and horses, and the clothes and bedding of the bearded soldiers, and even the inner lining of the filthy clothes are thrown to them to wash, and if they can't wash it, they will be scolded, and then they will directly start fighting, and their commanders will nod their heads when they see the bearded soldiers, so no one will stand up for them, and these grievances can only be borne by themselves. Of course, the food for eating is even more different, the bearded soldiers eat dried corn food, and there are dried meat and wine every few meals, and they only have two or three bran nests, and they may not see meat for a month. As for the money, I can't save my life, and I dare to withdraw money!

What's even more hateful is that even if you die, you will be treated differently!

When the bearded soldiers died in battle, they would have a name post, a pension of 200,000 or 400,000 yuan, and the corpses would be buried in hardwood coffins, and some of them would even send people to collect the souls of the corpses and return to their hometowns. When they arrived, at the beginning, they also assigned their own people to clean up the battlefield, collect the corpses of their comrades, and let them go as much as possible, and then put a fire, put it in a small jar, and bury it on the spot, without a name or surname, many people became lonely ghosts. Later, it was even more excessive, the battlefield was not allowed to be cleaned, and the acquaintances wanted to collect the corpses of their companions, but they were not allowed above, saying that they were afraid that the dead would be sick and cause the plague. The money for the bereavement pension for the family was also reduced from 200,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan, and then from 100,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan.

Therefore, many Tang soldiers who surrendered were looking forward to ending the war as soon as possible, thinking that even if they lived so hard, it would be God's blessing to end it as soon as possible, so when they went to the battlefield, they all pretended to be dead to escape, cherished themselves, and no one wanted to lose their lives in vain. Of course, there are also those who sacrifice their lives and are ready to fight for the future, in their opinion, this kind of person is purely a brain problem, and his heart is even more dirty!

The combat effectiveness of a team with this mentality can be imagined and obvious.

The autumn rain also came to join in the fun, and their barracks were wet and watered, and the places where they stood were not spacious, and some of the bedding was like being wet with urine, but it was okay to do this, at least there was no need to send them to death, and they were wronged, it was better than losing their heads to eat. They even hoped in their hearts that the longer it rained, the better, and that it would be better to drown the bearded soldiers!

Zhang Zhongcheng never thought that they could flood the Seventh Army like Master Guan, the glorious achievements that shook the past and the present, the right time, place and people are indispensable, not to mention them, even if all the famous ministers and fierce generals in the world are combined, it is not enough to do it. Of course, that opportunity is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Time is also lucky, and it is also possible!

At this time, in the main hall, all the generals and staff officers were discussing enthusiastically, expressing their opinions, just hoping to come up with more ideas, so as to reduce some burden on Suiyang City under the danger.

"General Lei, how long do you think this rain will last?" The thin and elegant general sitting on the main seat looked at a dusty general on the right hand and asked.

"Lord Hui, according to the general trend of the heavens, the autumn rain will not stop until tomorrow."

The general who replied was named Lei Wanchun, with a handsome face, elegant and extraordinary, heroic and majestic, and a very great appearance, different from ordinary battlefield generals, without a sharp murderous aura, faintly revealing a fairy atmosphere. Those who didn't know thought it was a handsome talent in their thirties and forties, but everyone here knew that this general was the eldest in their group, and he was fifty-seven years old this year, seven years older than Zhang Zhongcheng on the throne. As for the reason why his face and physique are different from ordinary people, it is because this General Lei is actually a cultivator.

According to General Lei's own account, their family still has some inheritance, because the family is quite rich, he was able to study and practice martial arts since he was a child, and then there was a Jianghu sect of the inner door monk, according to the practice to walk in his house, under the arrangement of the family elders, he gave many grandchildren to touch the bones and ask about the future fortune, after seeing him, the monk said that this son has a lot of fairy roots, and asked him if he is willing to cultivate the law, and the heaven and earth creatures to form a fate. The people of the clan also attached great importance to it, and after obtaining the consent of his parents, they asked the monk to take the grandchild to the Xianmen to learn and study the immortal method, so as to protect the family.

After General Lei went to Zongmen, he followed the master's teachings and studied astronomy and geography, divination, breathing, and Taoism with all his brothers and sisters. Because of the average qualifications, although he can not inherit the foundation of the sect, but it is not a humiliation of the court, to the forties when he was ordered by the teacher, let him go out of the mountain to find a Confucian named "Zhang Xun", try to save his life, save the dawn of the people, in the future his fortune will also be turned upside down, the specific cause, can not be said, the heavenly opportunity should not be revealed.

Because he practiced the Taoist true method when he was young, Lei Wanchun is also physically strong, with strong internal strength, and his face is younger than ordinary people. Although he is not very good at arranging troops in the art of war, he is very accurate at deducing the heavenly machine and judging the wind and rain, and he can even borrow the wind to rise and the rain to do his work, which has a bit of Zhang Liang Zhuge Liang's taste.

And what made the soldiers defending the city even more in awe of this General Lei was the "miracle" that he was not injured by an arrow at the head of the city, and it was also because of that incredible move that the soldiers in the city worshiped him as a celestial, and privately called him "Lei Xianshi"!

It is said that it was also when he was guarding Yongqiu County, when more than 40,000 rebels led by Ling Hu Chao had just been deceived by Zhang Xun with a trick to take away tens of thousands of arrows, and let the chain plan break the camp, and was killed by the five hundred cavalry led by Nan Jiyun to lose their armor and abandon their armor, and five hundred people took advantage of the night to kill a few in the camp of tens of thousands of people, so that Hu Chao left tens of thousands of soldiers and fled to the rebel general Li Tingwang. The new sorrow and old hatred were green, so that the fox tide cheekily borrowed 5,000 Hu soldiers, and then sorted out the old department of tens of thousands of people to kill Ben Yongqiu, which was about to be ashamed and cut off Zhang Xun's dog's head.

When the army gathered under Yongqiu City, Ling Hu Chao no longer talked nonsense before the battle to persuade him to surrender, and directly ordered the 5,000 Hu soldiers to form a formation, and 5,000 hard crossbows to shoot at the head of the city. In an instant, the arrows rained down, and the momentum was huge. To say that Hu Bing's combat strength is really several times stronger than the straw bales under his command that eat and wait for death. These brute-bearded men are neatly formed and commanded, in groups of three, ten groups of fire, one hundred and fifty people form a small team, the first team shoots and the second team follows, and the third team is wound up and prepared, alternately rotated, and a single breath can shoot hundreds of arrows with a crossbow.

The guard of Yongqiu City was Lei Wanchun at this time, and in the face of such a turbulent wave of arrows, General Lei was also calm, and he loudly commanded the soldiers to defend with all their might. Hu Bing is different from Tang Bing, in the border defense, often compete with those foreign countries on the border, all of them are experienced in a hundred battles and brave abnormality, archery skills are even more sophisticated, and with the help of the power of the crossbow, the range can reach about 100 steps, Yongqiu Chengtou did not expect the enemy to have such a change, the response is not urgent, the defenders of the city head are under great pressure.

Open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and General Lei, who is the first soldier, is the biggest target at the moment. The ordinary defenders at the head of the city, in the face of the rain of arrows, all obeyed the orders of the city general, and took saving their lives as the first priority, and at this moment they all shrank under the battlements with huge shields, waiting for the opportunity to shoot a few arrows in response. However, General Lei had to walk back and forth to patrol, giving random orders, and he was only afraid that he would be separated sooner or later if he was shot by an arrow.

Although General Lei himself held a shield to block, there were too many arrows, and finally under a powerful blow, the wooden shield exploded and lost its last protection. The enemy's arrows were like poisonous snakes spitting letters, and in an instant, the arrows rained down, and they were blocked a lot by the armor, but there were still six arrows that hit General Lei. As soon as the sergeant at the bottom saw that General Lei had been hit by an arrow, he was struck by lightning for a while, and he forgot to step forward to protect him, so he stared at the Iron Tower General in front of him, who was shot by an enemy arrow.

At this moment, General Lei should definitely die!

But he never thought that General Lei, who was hit by the arrow, shouted violently, and even ignored the arrow on his body, jumped up, jumped on the battlement, pulled out the sword at his waist, and waved it in a circle to block the arrow.

General Lei's actions not only shocked his subordinate soldiers, but also shocked the enemy troops opposite, tens of thousands of people watched the general who was hit by the arrow on the opposite side, and there were six arrows stuck in the golden armor, but this person not only did not fall, but actually drew his sword and jumped on the city, swinging his sword to block the arrows like rain, where is this person, it is clearly a mighty general! No one dared to fight with the sky, not even those savage and ferocious Hu soldiers!

General Lei, who was not hit by an arrow, shocked the entire battlefield, and on the battlefield where tens of thousands of people were attacking, there was silence for a while, and tens of thousands of eyes were staring at the tall and standing figure, with an incredible face.

The first to react was General Lei, who saw that the attack on the opposite side was suppressed by himself, raised the Qinggang Dao Sword in his hand and pointed forward, and shouted:

"Put!"

The sergeants defending the city were awakened by this thunderbolt, and one by one they got up, and with all their strength, pulled their bowstrings, and shot in the opposite direction.

The attacking Linghu Chao side was still being shocked by Lei Wanchun's celestial descendants, and the arrows that broke through the air on the opposite side had already shot in front of him, and he screamed miserably for a while, and the soldiers scattered and fled, the formation was chaotic, and there were countless casualties. Ling Huchao is already a master of the six gods at this moment, and he only knows that Mu Ran is being protected by his subordinates and retreating, and the golden armor general standing at the head of the city in his mind is still majestic, killing his soul.

The battle was overturned one-sidedly, and Ling Fox Chao had already begun to wonder if his original rebellion was really correct, and where was the Heavenly Dao? Nan Jiyun's combat power is monstrous, Lei Wanchun's six arrows are unharmed, Zhang Xun's scheming is like a demon, and his soldiers are even more fearless of death.

General Ray certainly didn't die, not even wounded.

How strong Hu Bing's arrows are, the soldiers defending the city have a deep understanding, most of the comrades who were unfortunately killed were arrows into the bones, and some armor omissions even formed penetrating wounds, but General Lei's body was harder than the shield armor, and the arrows that hit the body, not to mention the body through, didn't even penetrate the flesh much, the doctors were still predicting the injuries in panic, and made the worst plans, but when they opened the armor and looked at the arrows that were slightly into the flesh, the military doctors were dumbfounded, After studying for a long time, I was at a loss, and in the end I could only conclude that God blesses and the gods protect me.

Lei Wanchun's arrows are no better than Zhang Xun, he has waded through thousands of arrows, and there are as many as six arrows on his body alone, not to mention those arrows that are blocked by armor. The round shield on the armor has been flattened, many pieces of armor have been broken, a bright piece of armor has been damaged at this time, and the six arrows have also penetrated the protection, leaking through the net, it is difficult to imagine that kind of indiscriminate blow, what kind of horror it should be, General Lei is fine, except for the ethereal fairy manifestation, I am afraid that there is no reason to talk about it!

The same flesh and blood body is so different, the whole army has passed this feat as a miracle, looking at the simple bandaging and then the dragon and tiger General Lei, everyone is praising that General Lei is really an immortal, the reincarnation of the thunder god! Since then, General Lei has been more than a general in their hearts.

It's an immortal! They have never seen those immortals in the sky who are high and ethereal, but the invulnerable general in front of them has seen it with their own eyes, and following such immortals and Arhats is to follow the right path of heaven!

As for the ability of the Thunder Immortal Master to take advantage of the wind and rain, their low-level sergeants don't know, they are in different classes, and what they see and hear is also different.

After returning to his senses and talking about Suiyang City, everyone in the hall listened to General Lei's assertion and started discussing it again.

"In my opinion, Yin Ziqi must be indignant when he suffered a big defeat the day before yesterday, and the rain lasts for a long time at this time, the enemy army will definitely figure it out and think deeply, and discuss how to break our city defense. Under the resourcefulness, there must be heavy moves, and we must not be on guard! ”

The one who spoke was an officer in black armor, this person was dressed in a peculiar attire, and he was not wearing Mingguang gold armor, nor mountain silver armor, but an old black Liangdang armor, this ancient armor of the Qin and Han dynasties had long been eliminated by the times, and I never thought that anyone would still wear it.

Looking at the black-armored general who spoke out, everyone raised their heads one after another, looking at this hermit with an extraordinary background. This person's origin is mysterious, on the fourth day of the first month of the new year after this year, he came to Suiyang City alone to recommend himself to Xu Yuanmao, and the people at the bottom felt that this person was dressed strangely, and his speech was quite extraordinary, so he reported to Xu Taishou, and Xu Yuan heard about it and gave him an interview. After meeting, this person first took out a simple ink jade, and the ink jade was engraved with the word "ink" in seal script, and then reported to his family, which turned out to be the legendary son of the ink door.

Momen, an ancient and familiar organization, so strange and so mysterious.

In the pre-Qin era, Moxue and Confucianism were both known as the two major scholars, but unfortunately after the Qin Dynasty, the Mohists gradually fell silent. In order to inherit and carry forward, Mo Zhai's disciples established an organization similar to the sect, this organization is called the Ink Guild, and the prosperity of the Mo family doctrine is closely related to its Ink Guild. Mohism was one of the few schools in the pre-Qin era that had a strict organization and a distinct purpose. The Mohist school has a careful class structure and strict behavioral discipline, and its leader is respected as "Juzi", and the next generation of Juzi is selected by the previous generation of Juzi to serve as a sage, which is passed down from generation to generation. The disciples of the Mohists must obey the orders of Juzi, and in order to implement the Mohist ideas, they sacrifice their lives to do the way, and the disciples who are sent to various countries to serve as officials must also implement the political ideas of the Mohists, and when it does not work, they would rather resign than disobey. The inkers who are officials should donate money to the group, so as to "share the wealth". Leaders should also set an example and implement the "Law of the Inkman". The Mohists gathered disciples to give lectures and practice, and became the main opposition to Confucianism.

The purpose of the Mohist school is "for righteousness", and the Confucian sage Mencius said "to benefit the world". "Zhuangzi Tianxia Chapter" says that "the urgency of preparing for the world" has its own truth, and the concepts are different from each other. The loose relationship between the Mo family and other schools is very different, and it is precisely because of the tight organization that the Mo family has a strong fighting ability. Mozi led his disciples to various countries and actively realized their ideals and ideals, and the Mozi family relied on their ideals and beliefs to overcome obstacles and leave a brilliant chapter in that era.

It's just that the original vigorous Mohist has been declining before the unification of the Great Qin after Mozi's death, and the original three Mohs are divided into two, one focuses on epistemology, logic, geometry, optics, statics and other disciplines, which is called "Mohist post-learning", and the other is transformed into a ranger sage in Qin and Han society, and continues to carry forward the Mohist ancestors' idea of "non-attack". The former inherited many of the social and ethical propositions of the Mohists in the early period, and made great achievements in epistemology and logic, so most of them were hidden from the world and devoted themselves to learning; The latter, on the other hand, proceeded from reality, personally went deep into the people to hoe the strong and help the weak, and dissuaded and quelled more wars. It's just that the later Mo family is no longer worth mentioning, people are soft-spoken, and the people in power don't take them very seriously, so the Mo family has a more obvious division of labor.

In the Han Dynasty, the situation was even worse, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", and the Mohist school was rarely walked around, and the entire sect was already in a semi-hidden state. Until now, the traces of the Mo family are rarely heard, although the world praises its long inheritance and great reputation, but in the past hundred years, it is rare to hear of any more Mo disciples in the world, and the inheritance has been broken is still unknown.

Now that someone suddenly claims to be a disciple of Momen, Xu Yuan is still quite unsure. Fortunately, in a few days, Zhang Xun would come to Suiyang, so he decided to settle this person first, and then make plans after Zhang Xun came. Later, with the development of the war in Suiyang City, Xu Yuan still secretly admired it in his heart every time he recalled the past, not only serving Momen is indeed clever, but also serving Zhang Xun with a broad mind!

Those who aspire to the world will not tolerate the people of the world!
