Water Margin people

Chapter 648 Flooded Gaotang Prefecture

"Withdraw! Enter the city!"

Li Cheng was the first to realize that no matter what the thieves were, the heavy rain made it impossible to fight. The ground was muddy in rainy days, and it was very difficult for cavalry or infantry to move. Moreover, fighting in the heavy rain was easy to catch wind and cold, and plague broke out.

The frightened army scrambled to enter the city. Everyone in Zengtou City reacted the fastest, and the cavalry directly occupied the city gate first, keeping the others out.

"Ha ha!"

Looking at the enemies rushing into the city in a mess, Sun Lei laughed out loud.

"It's really raining!"

Everyone looked at Gongsun Sheng and others on the Seven Stars Altar in surprise.

"This coir raincoat is not for nothing, it really is a good thing to keep out the rain!"

Sun Lei pressed Fan Yangli's hat brim and said with a smile.

"Back to camp!"

Sun Lei ordered to the army.

In the Liangshan military camp, all the tents have already been made overhead with logs, and the top of the tents has also been waterproofed to ensure that the tents are dry.

"Daoist Gongsun, Daoist Qiao, and Brother Fan Rui have worked hard."

Sun Lei looked at the three people who were drenched and said with a smile, because facing the wind and rain on the Seven Star Altar, all three of them became drowned.

"Brother, it will rain for three or four days!"

Gongsun Shen smiled and clasped his fists.

"Three or four days! Well, that's enough!"

Sun Lei nodded with a smile, three days of this kind of heavy rain is enough to do a lot of things.

"Tao Zongwang, take two thousand soldiers to the west of Gaotang Prefecture to cut off that river, I want to flood Gaotang Prefecture!"

Sun Lei looked at Tao Zongwang and said.

"Brother is preparing for a water attack?"

It was only at this time that everyone understood Sun Lei's intentions. The heavy rain would cause the river to surge, and the conditions for a flood attack were met.

"That's right. This time the enemy is stronger and has the initiative. It's definitely not worthwhile for us to fight hard."

Sun Lei nodded with a smile and said, Gaotang Prefecture now has more than 4 troops, including [-] in Daming Prefecture, [-] in Lingzhou, Kouzhou, and Zengtou City, and [-] cavalry in Zengtou City.

The terrain around Gaotang Prefecture was not considered dangerous, and there were few things that could stop the cavalry, so after he heard that it would rain heavily, he thought of using heavy rain to stop the cavalry, and then attacked with water.

"Master Lu, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, and Pang Wanchun led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to cover in batches."

Sun Lei looked at the rest of the people and said, "It's impossible for Gaotang Prefecture to sit idly by and block the water by himself."

"Yes, brother!"

Everyone stood up and clasped their fists together.

The downpour didn't mean to stop, and the faces of everyone who returned to the city were not very good-looking. The enemy can call the wind and rain, which is not a good thing no matter how you think about it, and they can't deal with it at all.

Seeing everyone's silence, Song Jiang was in a good mood. He was not the strongest in this army, and he didn't have much right to speak. This difficult situation was in his best interest.

"The thief can call the wind and the rain, how can he fight?"

Zeng Tu looked at Gao Lian and asked, this kind of enemy is no longer something they can deal with.

"There must be a problem here!"

When Gao Lian saw that everyone was looking over, he immediately opened his mouth and said that at this moment, people were panicking and he had to stabilize these reinforcements.

"What's the problem, the enemy is calling for the wind and rain, that's what we saw with our own eyes."

Zeng Mi said, they came to deal with ordinary enemies, not any monsters.

"Who would call the wind and call for the rain? It must be a cover-up. Rain is very common in this season!"

Li Cheng said, as a soldier, he doesn't believe in these ghosts and gods. Although the enemy did succeed in mobilizing the wind and rain today, when he calmed down, he still firmly believed that there was something wrong.

"What's the use of guessing, it's better to go out and fight for a while!"

Lu Junyi opened his mouth and said.

"How can there be such a heavy rain? Once you leave the city, you will be stuck in the mud!"

Wei Dingguo shook his head and said, he is General Shenhuo, he is best at using fire, and this kind of heavy rain is what he hates the most.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. Isn't it just heavy rain? He wants the rain to succeed. How long will the rain last? At most, the rain will stop in a few days. The sun is strong at this time, and the ground will dry out in two days! It's time for us to go out of the city to kill the enemy!"

Gao Lian looked at the crowd and said, all they have to do is wait a few days.

"Don't worry everyone, that Chai Jin is still in prison, it's not us who should be worried, but Sun Lei!"

Gao Lian laughed again, he still has a trump card - Chai Jin, it was a wise move not to kill Chai Jin now.

"That's right, Sun Lei is here to rescue Chai Jin this time!"

Shi Wengong and the five tigers of the Zeng family laughed out loud when they heard this, why should they be afraid of Sun Lei when they have hostages in hand.

Li Cheng, Suo Chao, Lu Junyi and other people from the famous mansion have different expressions. They don't want Na Chai Jin to make a fuss about the hostage, which will damage the reputation of the officers and soldiers. Such shameful things as kidnapping and extortion should be done by thieves of.

Song Jiang had another thought.

Song Jiang is unwilling to do this. He is well-known in the world for his timely donations to help the poor and help the poor.

Chai Jin is a well-known extravagant hero in the Jianghu. It would be unrighteous for him not to rescue him. If he takes Chai Jin as a hostage again, his reputation in the Jianghu will be ruined in the future.

Although Song Jiang is now in Zhao'an, he still cares about his reputation in the world. After all, he has nothing to do with the officialdom, and his network is all in the world.

"Report, it's not good, the enemy is cutting off the upstream and cutting off the river!"

A soldier hurriedly ran into the government office and shouted.

"What? Up the river!"

Gao Lian's face changed drastically when he heard that, the so-called river is the river that flows through Gaotang Prefecture.

"No, the thief wants to learn from Guan Yu and use the heavy rain to accumulate river water and pour it into Gaotang Prefecture!"

Shengshui General Shan Tinggui immediately got up and looked outside in horror. If the downpour continued, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Flooded!"

The rest of the people couldn't sit still anymore, now they didn't care about any enemy who would call the wind and rain, if the flood flooded the city, none of them would survive.

"Quick, get out of town!"

Zeng Tu said to the brothers around him, they are cavalry, as long as they go out of the city, they can always escape the flood, if they stay in the city, they will die.

"Get ready to go out of town!"

Li Cheng also looked at Suo Chao, Lu Junyi, and Song Jiang and said.

"But it's raining so hard, where can we go?"

Deng Long pointed to the pouring rain outside. What is the difference between going out in this weather and looking for death?Li Zhong, Yan Shun and others next to him were also unwilling to leave the city.

Soon, there were more and more voices of opposition, and the brothers in Zengtou City even had disputes.

The inconvenience of marching out of the city in the heavy rain is still a trivial matter. It is unbearable to be drenched in the wind and cold, and there is no way to light a fire to cook in heavy rain. How can tens of thousands of people have so much dry food to eat? Going out is equal to being hungry in the rain. Just to die.

"Let's go and have a look before we talk! It's not safe to go out of the city rashly, then Sun Lei may be ambushing outside the city."

Song Jiang looked at Li Cheng and said, he is not willing to take people out of the city in this weather.

Finally, everyone reached a consensus and walked to the city wall together. Through the misty rain and fog, they saw the enemy under construction on the river in the distance.

The prototype of a water village has been built, and the water level of the river flowing through Gaotang Prefecture has not risen at all. How could the water level not rise in this heavy rain, which made everyone even more uneasy.

"They intercepted the river, they really want to flood Gaotang Prefecture!"

Shan Tinggui looked at all this and still didn't understand what the enemy wanted to do.
