Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 196 Blood Rain

The heavy rain hit his face, and a gust of coolness washed away the killing intent and irritability in his heart.

It also made the surroundings more blurred, and Ran Min's figure was lost in the rainstorm.

Even the lightning in the sky couldn't tear the rain curtain away, there was only the sound of fighting around, which became more and more intense.

The muddy yellow water on the ground quickly spread, flooding the soles of the feet.

Dayu controlled the floods in Yanzhou and opened Dayeze to detain the floods. Dongping, Shanyang, and Jibei were full of lakes. Once there was a heavy rain, they would often be reduced to Zeguo.

"Stick to the camp!" Li Yue ordered to the guards around him.

The guards shouted loudly.

At this time, the command is basically abandoned, and the banners and orderers are useless, and they can only test the war literacy of middle and lower-level officers.

Fortunately, Li Yue has always paid attention to the training of corporal leaders, special leaders, and team leaders in the army.

From top to bottom in the army, all officers were personally inspected and appointed by Li Yue.

The sound of roaring footsteps trampling water came from the northwest, it should be that Ran Min attacked.

Although he had great self-confidence, facing Ran Min, Li Yue still felt a little worried. In terms of charging forward, Ran Min undoubtedly stood at the pinnacle of this era.

As long as he defends his impact, victory will go to the Black Cloud Army.

The heavy rain was actually beneficial to the Heiyun army. Ran Min's best cavalry could not be used, and his own martial prowess also lost half.

While waiting, time passed by bit by bit, but the torrential rain was getting bigger and bigger, falling on the ground, splashing red sprays one after another.

All kinds of voices mixed together in the formation of the backbone camp in the west, forming a huge roar.

Then, there was also the sound of fighting from the center camp in the east.

Hearing the sound, it seemed that Ran Min launched a full-scale attack.

The fight was as violent as the torrential rain in front of him. A feathered arrow came out of the rain curtain, but lost its strength, and landed in front of Li Yue. Thousands of guards around nervously erected their big shields and opened their eyes wide, trying to see through the dense rain curtain.

But doomed to futility, they see nothing.

The fighting on the left and right was getting bigger and bigger, but none of the barbarians came to Li Yue.

Li Yue looked up at the sky that had turned from groggy to dark, and suddenly laughed. At this point in the battle, Li Yue's premonition gradually became clear whether he was going to win or lose.

There is no doubt that the Heiyun Army blocked Zhao Jun's crazy blow!
Although you can't see the scene of the soldiers fighting bravely, you can feel it.

However, Ran Min was not someone who gave up easily, and the brutal fight was still going on.

It wasn't until the swamp water submerged the insteps, the night was shrouded, and the surroundings could not be seen clearly, that the sound of fighting gradually faded away.

It was nearly two hours before and after this battle, and even the vigorous ones were exhausted.

The torrential rain gradually turned to drizzle.

"The Pioneer Camp defeated Jie Nu!"

"The middle camp repels Jienu!"

"The Zhongjian Battalion held their ground and did not let Jie Nu take a step past!"

Cheerful and tired voices sounded all around.

The heavy rain helped Li Yue, but it also saved Ran Min at the same time.

Those who lose will not be completely defeated, and those who win will not be able to do their best.

Of course, at this moment, the situation of the enemy and the enemy is unclear, and it is too early to say victory. It can only be said that the enemy has been repelled, and the casualties and gains are still uncertain.

"Every battalion be careful!" Li Yue sat on the ground, looking at the dark night.

The guards around him simply lay in the mud, picked up a handful of muddy water, and drank it directly. Many soldiers fell asleep back to back with their swords and spears in their arms.

Li Yue himself squinted for a moment, opened his eyes, and the sky was dim for a while.

The tooth flag with the word "stone" on the north side is still there, but after being drenched by the heavy rain, it droops on the flagpole, without the arrogance of yesterday.

Between the two armies, there were corpses and broken meat. Countless broken spears and knives looked like crops that broke out of the ground, pointing to the sky.

Although Ran Min's thunder strike was repelled, the Heiyun army suffered a lot.

The forward battalion was reduced by half, and the middle base battalion and the backbone battalion suffered a lot of casualties. A large number of injured soldiers were red and swollen after being soaked in rain all night.

The situation on the other side was not much better either, with countless rehabilitated soldiers, and soldiers who were seriously injured and unconscious were constantly thrown out of the formation.

In this situation, neither side can actually fight, and they can only wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, Li Yue had reinforcements, but Ran Min did not. After Liu Qigui surrendered, Yanzhou was dominated by the Heiyun Army and had the home field advantage.

"Have the people behind arrived yet?"

A heavy rain yesterday made the muddy road even more difficult.

Zhang Shengye cupped his hands and said, "Still in Ningyang."

Xu Cheng in the north should have also received the news, and he will definitely not be able to catch up in a short time.

However, it would be beneficial for the Heiyun army to procrastinate, so Li Yue was not in a hurry to attack, and ordered the soldiers to rest in place.

A heavy rain last night turned everyone into a drowned rat.

Now let's see who can't stand it first.

The water flooded, and the fish and shrimp were dragged ashore, and the veterans directly swallowed them with blades.

Li Yue originally wanted to persuade them not to eat it raw, there are worms.

But now it's so wet everywhere, it can't make a fire, and the dry food is all soaked, so it can only be eaten raw.

Soldiers need to quickly recover their physical strength and prepare for the next battle.

An hour later, a person from the opposite side came over on foot, "The governor of the capital invites Mr. Li to have a talk!"

If you can't fight, you can only talk, but whoever speaks first will be at a disadvantage.

With Ran Min's unstoppable personality, since he spoke, the situation in the army must be quite serious.

"Go back and tell the governor that if you surrender, you don't have to beat around the bush. If you want to fight again, please come quickly." Li Yue sent someone to send a message.

No matter how fierce Ran Min was, without a horse, he was trapped in the mud, and Li Yue's reinforcements would arrive sooner or later.

When confronting each other in Surabaya, we waited for him to come to talk, but if he didn't come, now we are in a dilemma, but we want to talk again, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

In fact, when Li Nong was captured alive, the war should have come to an end.

But Ran Min insisted on a bloody battle before he was reconciled.

Now, even if he can't capture and kill Ran Min, he must be taught a profound lesson, so that he will think more about the consequences when he hears the name of Hei Yunjun in the future.

That's the only way people like him can be.

After the man left, after being quiet for half an hour, the opposite side suddenly set off and slowly retreated to the northeast.

This battle has consumed countless efforts and energy to get to where it is today. No matter what, it is impossible for Li Yue to let Ran Min go.

The horn sounded, and the Heiyun Army moved in response to the sound, following behind Zhao Jun.

In the mud, the two armies chased and fought, fighting all the way from Dongpinglu to Zhangxian, the perseverance and physical strength of the soldiers withstood a great test.

Zhao Jun was at the end of the mountain, and people kept falling behind and fleeing, perhaps because they were eager to escape. Zhao Jun burst out with tenacious fighting spirit and insisted on holding on to his breath.

The Heiyun army was not much better. The injuries and illnesses of the soldiers became more and more serious. Some people were infected and had high fevers. Li Yue had to be sent back to Fucheng for treatment.

Stepping into the border of Jinbei, both armies were exhausted.

Xu Cheng came with a battalion of [-] Xiao cavalry, but Zhang Wen's tribe in the north of Sishui also led [-] cavalry on the way.
