Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 589 In the Rain
There were bursts of thunder, and heavy rain fell from the sky, making a roar of rain. The falling raindrops hit the outer wall of the roof, and the crackling sound was transmitted to the ears. The water from the rain eaves continued to flow, and the sound of splashing to the ground was even more disturbing. Human hearing.

Several Liao soldiers who had just set up the stove were warming themselves around the stove. Water was boiling in the pot. They were each taking out the army rations or dried meat they had brought and throwing them in, ready to have a warm meal.

"There's someone knocking on the door..."

"What the hell, most likely it's those gamblers who are looking for people to make money. They don't stop even when it rains."

"We're lucky that we didn't get caught in the rain. Don't go out at this time and get soaked in the cold."

"I'm going to take a look. You guys are preparing the porridge first."

Throwing down the bag with dried meat in his hand, the soldier who spoke walked to the gate. Under the dim skylight, the opened door revealed orange firelight, and a cursing voice came from inside the door: "Knock, knock, knock, where are the funeral reports? This If you don't sit in the house during a thunderstorm and run around, I won't take any action from the villagers..."

"Excuse me, I..."

The soldiers wearing Liao army uniforms and the scouts looked at each other. Their eyes were wide open, they were stunned, and their mouths were half-opened, not knowing how to react.

Suddenly, the eyes of the Liao soldier who opened the door began to flash, but Ma Ling from behind reacted faster. He took a step forward and pulled away the scout in front of him. The moisture of the rain rushed towards him as the figure approached. The former "came" all at once. The syllables were still swirling in the throat, and suddenly a big hand pinched the cheek to lock the sound back into the mouth. He pulled forward with one arm, and the whole person was dragged into the rain like a cloud.

The other scouts were only half a step too slow to react. Seeing this, they quickly came over to press their arms and leggings. Someone took out a ball of unknown cloth. When Ma Ling let go, he stuffed a handful into the opponent's mouth.

The magic horse looked at the room and saw only a bonfire burning. However, upon closer inspection, he saw tables and chairs that had been split into several pieces. There was light coming out of the corner, and a few faint shadows were swaying in the light.

"Come on!"

Ma Ling also came from the village, so he knew that everyone was in the kitchen nearby, so he quickly closed the door. Several scouts were not stupid. They realized that the village had been occupied by the Liao army, and the group hurriedly carried the living person to the house. He got off his horse and retreated quickly amid the roar of thunder.

A few Liao soldiers in the room were boiling hot soup and putting food in. Listening to the sound of rain, someone looked outside and shouted: "Monk Liu, where are you going to return...?"

Several people came out of the kitchen after hearing this. No one was in the outhouse. They looked at each other and someone went to open the door. The sky and the earth lit up for a moment. It was raining heavily outside and there was no one around. Then there was a rumble of thunder and a cold wind. With the rain blowing in, the man closed the door.

"Damn it, this guy is probably going to play for money. Forget it, let's eat what's ours."

The door closed and thunder sounded.

……

Under the rain curtain that blocked the sky and the sun, Ma Ling and others were stationed in the forest. Water drops accumulated on the leaves kept falling on their heads, causing slight pain.

In the distance, the rain blurred the vision, the occasional flash of lightning brought dull thunder, and a military camp flashed uncertainly in the darkness.

"...It seems that tongue is not lying." Ma Ling wiped his face, and the water droplets on his short beard formed a stream: "Go back and inform the general!"

Then he turned around and headed towards the back where the horse was tied. The figure on the horse watched him walking and swaying. The horse got on the horse and looked at the scout with the prisoner. The man immediately understood and took out a sharp knife and pointed it at him. He stabbed him in the neck several times, then threw the dead body into the jungle, and the group of people quickly headed south. …

The sky became brighter, the rain weakened slightly, and the roar and lightning between heaven and earth seemed to be delayed a lot. Lu Bu stood in the rain-sheltered forest, took off his cloak and twisted it hard. Amidst the sound of rushing water, a majestic figure stood up, In the sight, a figure in black clothes was crouching quietly in the forest, holding the leather armor or shield he had taken off with one hand on his head. He saw his general standing up, someone stood up, and someone behind him saw someone standing up in front of him. , also stood up one after another, and the sound of clashing weapons was heard intermittently.

"The heavy rain has delayed my waiting. I have to make up for it later."

The water droplets fell from the treetops and landed on the round shield held by Yu Cheng, making a crashing sound. Chitu shook his head aside, and a few drops of rainwater flew out and fluttered on the faces of others. Several generals around him did not speak, but looked at him with fiery eyes. Facing the distance, Fengtai put his iron helmet on his head, wiped his nose, and bumped into Niu Gao: "Hei Si, who can catch a Liao general this time?"

Niu Gao glanced at him, stretched out his hand to pick up the helmet, shook off the water on it and put it on his head. A feeling of dampness and coldness ran from head to back and said, "Then you will definitely lose. My mother said that I am blessed."

After saying that, Fei got on his war horse.

Fengtai blinked his eyes: "Are you lucky?" He pulled the saddle up and lifted the reins: "As if no one is not."

Still a bit green, Lu Bu comforted the uneasy Red Rabbit, brushed off the rain on the saddle, and flew up. Looking into the distance, the colors between heaven and earth became more vivid in the rain. He stretched out his hand and raised it, beside him Amid the general's shouts of "mount on the horse -", more than 5,300 knights mounted their horses again. The red rabbit took steps, and the flag that was soaked by the rain was held on the shoulders, and it was walking behind, drooping. The flag waved around, occasionally throwing out a string of water drops.

"The rain has subsided. Let all the scouts in the army go out." Lu Bu, who was on the horse, looked at the four horse army captains who were following him: "Clear the road ahead and make sure Yelu Yujian doesn't notice it at all."

Du Bo and others looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and turned around to give orders. Soon, hundreds of scouts left first, and gradually spread into small groups of three or four riders and marched separately.

Here, Lu Bu touched Red Rabbit's wet hair and looked at the cavalry who had been neatly arrayed. The long wind and rain made everyone look very embarrassed. The tall and majestic figure raised the Fangtian painted halberd, and the raindrops dripped in the woods. Landing on the ground, armor, and the blade of the sword, his tiger eyes scanned the rows of faces.

"Today I'm waiting in the rain to set out in great embarrassment..." A low voice sounded in the forest, he turned the reins, the red rabbit turned outwards, and waved the painted halberd forward, stopped, and water droplets flew out from the painted halberd: "Will Remember this embarrassment and bring it to the enemy! The whole army marches on!"

Woohoo——

The horn blows.

……

When the sky was bright enough to see, Han Funu and Ah Ba put on their raincoats and walked into the Chinese army's tent despite the rain.

"Be careful, the rain is about to stop." After taking off his raincoat, the armor underneath was slightly damp, Han Funu stepped forward and handed over his hands: "The person named Cao hasn't come back yet, but the person named Chu has been very quiet in the camp."

"Quite sensible."

Yelu Yujian stretched out his hand to pick up the wick on the table, and the fire light became a little brighter: "Send an order to the whole army to stay here tonight and break camp early tomorrow morning to go south."

"Yes."
