Jizhou City.

The heavy rain continued to fall, and the soldiers standing on the city wall became part of the rain scene, but the soldiers themselves did not feel it because they were watching the rain scene.

Xiahou Zhuo thought of this for some reason. People watched the rain in the rain and saw everything in the rain, including the people around him, and they only forgot that they were also part of the rain scene.

So there are indeed too many contradictions in this world, and many contradictions about people themselves will be ignored.

"It's really a contradiction."

He subconsciously said to himself.

Tang Piddi, who was standing beside him, asked, "What did you think of suddenly?"

Xiahou Zhuo smiled and said, "It's nothing, but after being wet in the rain for a long time, I will inevitably start to think about some contradictory things and some contradictory people in the world."

He glanced at Tang Pidian and said, "Such heavy rain may be able to stop the Qingzhou army."

"People are contradictory."

Tang Piddi smiled and said, "You said just now."

Xiahou Zhuo asked: "What do you mean?"

Tang Pidian said: "If it weren't for this rain, the Qingzhou army might not have siege the city rashly. They came from afar and had a new defeat, so they needed a short rest and restored morale. But just as they were about to arrive, there was a heavy rain."

Xiahou Zhuo said: "What you mean is that they will be very conflicted. When the rain stops and attacks in the rain, they all feel that it is correct, so it is difficult to make a choice. But because of the previous defeat, they will feel that they should have a surprise attack."

Tang Piddi said: "Everyone has such a heart. If you hit me unexpectedly once, I will remember it in my heart, thinking about how to beat you more violently next time to take revenge."

Xiahou Zhuo said: "There is nothing better than taking Jizhou by surprise."

He turned around and shouted loudly: "Send the order, everyone cheered up. The reserve team went to the city to prepare for reinforcements. The people on the city walls opened my eyes wide, and the enemy could attack at any time."

The people on both sides began to pass on Xiahouzhuo's military orders, and the defenders on the city wall were obviously a little nervous.

To be honest, the Jizhou army has not fought a decent battle for a long time, and this may be the first fierce battle for a large number of soldiers guarding the city.

"The Qingzhou Army has arrived, but the Yanzhou Army should not be able to arrive."

Xiahou Zhuo looked at Tang Pidian and said, "When you say that Luo Geng thought he was looked down upon by me. This person has always been like this. Because he is not tall and has been looked down upon by others since he joined the army, he hates and hates such things the most. Whoever looks down on him will be furious."

Tang Pidian smiled and said, "Yanzhou Zhou Shiren also knew Luo Geng's personality, so if he wanted to come from under Youzhou's nose, he could only please Luo Geng, instead of being strong. There are not only contradictory things in this world, but also contradictory people. People are stupid and can fight. At that time, there was only one General Luo."

Xiahou Zhuo sighed: "You can deceive but not deceive. There is indeed only one General Luo in this world. There are few people in this world who know how to train and use troops better than him."

At this moment, someone saw something wrong outside the city and immediately shouted: "There is movement!"

In the rain, there seemed to be a large black shadow approaching quickly in the distance. The vast wind and rain were like the sea, and the rapidly approaching black shadow was like an unknown huge ferocious beast swam quickly under the sea.

Xiahou Zhuo immediately instructed the people around him, "Go and send orders not to shout, no one is allowed to shout loudly. The wind and rain are strong, tell the soldiers not to shoot arrows randomly, and there is no threat to the enemy. Everyone will shoot arrows when the enemy arrives at the city."

"yes!"

The person who sent the order ran out immediately,

While running, he whispered the order.

Under the city, the Qingzhou army who arrived in Jizhou braved the heavy rain was already extremely tired. They raised their heads and looked at the majestic city ahead, and their mood was probably almost the same as that of the Jizhou army guarding the city.

In their eyes, Jizhou City in the heavy rain also looked like an ancient beast entrenched here. The giant beast swallowed the sky was waiting for them to arrive, and then swallowed them all in one bite, making a meal of flesh and blood.

The former general Lin Yitai was eager to make contributions. As soon as he arrived outside the city, he immediately ordered a horn blowing attack. The soldiers came forward in the mud and could not see clearly the ground in front of him. Countless pits were dug out of the ground. The person who was running forward carrying the ladder accidentally fell to the ground.

The road was slippery and there were pits, so the Qingzhou army rushed forward and slowed down suddenly, and people kept falling.

If Lin Yitai regained some rationality at this time, he shouldn't have ordered to move forward again, but he felt that he had the opportunity to take Jizhou in the heavy rain. If he didn't try, he was always unwilling to accept it. He felt that the Jizhou army must be sheltering from the rain.

Lin Yitai was stumbled and almost reached the bottom of the city wall, but no feather arrows were dropped. He was very happy. He was sure that the soldiers in Jizhou City had gone to shelter from the rain.

"attack!"

Lin Yitai shouted loudly.

Just as the black crowd was about to reach the city wall, the Jizhou army on the city wall suddenly stood up, and they neatly poured their feather arrows down the city.

The rain of arrows is denser than heavy rain.

The Qingzhou army, which rushed not far from the city, was immediately swept away one floor, and the people who rushed in front had no reaction at all. As they ran, the people were gone.

The fallen corpse became a stumbling block for the soldiers behind him, and was shot and injured by being tripped. The wailing sound immediately exploded, quickly suppressing the sound of heavy rain.

Tang Pi said to Xiahou Zhuo: "If the enemy does not retreat, if the enemy forces fight for another half an hour, the morale of the enemy will inevitably decline. After half an hour, he ordered the crossbows on the city wall to attack at the farthest distance to block the subsequent enemy forces, which will make the enemy frightened. Xiahou, if he is sure, he can take an army out of the East City and take a detour to the enemy's flanks, and you will be able to win a great victory in this battle."

Xiahou Zhuo said: "But in the heavy rain, it's not clear where the enemy's main force is."

Tang Pidian said: "The enemy's large group of troops are not outside the city. I guess it is still far away. If the enemy's main force has arrived, they will not only attack Nancheng. Since they want to take advantage of the heavy rain and the army will arrive again, at least they will attack Dongcheng Nancheng. Now they will only attack Nancheng. The enemy who attacks the city should be the former army of Qingzhou."

Tang Pidian continued: "They only have tens of thousands of troops. If they attack separately, the strength of the troops will appear too weak. Therefore, they choose to attack the nearest Nancheng. Cui Yan, the governor of Qingzhou, said that this person is cautious and will not put all his troops in at once."

Xiahou Zhuo said: "Then I will go to Dongcheng now."

"You can't go."

Tang Pidian said: "You are the commander of the first army. If there is any accident, the morale of the army will be immediately disintegrated. Give me all the cavalry in the city."

Xiahou Zhuo said: "No, I can't let you take risks."

Tang Piddi smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid of death? You should know that I never do things that I am unsure, and I don't pretend to be unsure..."

Xiahou Zhuo laughed, but still shook his head and said, "There are only 1,500 war horses in the city that can be used as cavalry. Before, the ambush was set up in the Hutuo River, and the slow horses in the city were pulled away and they had only collected 4,000."

"One thousand five hundred are enough."

Tang Pidian said: "Don't forget, the enemy can't see clearly."

Tang Piddi took off his straw raincoat and grabbed a wooden spear in his hand. He looked at Xiahou Zhuo and said, "Give an order."

Xiahou Zhuo nodded and asked curiously: "Where is your iron spear?"

Tang Pie

He smiled and said, "The enemy outside the city is not worthy of my use of an iron spear."

Half an hour later, Tang Pidian had gathered 1,500 cavalry to wait at the east gate. People ran down the city wall and told him that there was no enemy outside the east city. Tang Pidian immediately ordered the city gate to open and sent people to wait at the north gate.

One thousand five hundred cavalry followed him out of the city. In the heavy rain, Tang Pidian ordered the cavalry not to speed up and try his best to keep the team intact. Only after hearing the shouts of killing were heard.

The team appeared from the Qingzhou Army side, and they were the last straw that crushed the morale of the Qingzhou Army's offensive team.

In the rain, countless cavalry rushed to the scene. The Qingzhou army thought it was ambushed, and the flanks were defeated first, so they ran away.

The flanks were in chaos, the back team was in chaos, and then the front team. Lin Yitai heard that there were cavalry attacks on the flanks, so he was in chaos, so he had to order the troops to retreat.

Tang Pidian rushed outside the city for a while, but did not rush straight to the enemy formation. If the 1,500 light cavalry were trapped in the enemy's large troop, it would be no different from a living target. They kept sweeping back and forth across the enemy's flanks, like a knife, cutting people's lives from the periphery layer by layer.

Seeing that the Qingzhou army had retreated, Tang Pidian immediately ordered the horn to return to the city. They did not return from the east gate, but ran all the way to the north gate and entered the city.

It was a coincidence that after a fierce battle, the sky gradually cleared up, the rain stopped, the clouds slowly opened up one by one, and beams of sunlight pierced the earth like swords.

People standing on the city wall looked outside, and countless corpses were upside down on the muddy ground.

The sword-like sunlight shines on the ground, and this picture seems to be not the world. This beauty is the beauty of hell. The heavy rain washes the dust of mountains and rivers, making people seem so insignificant.

The Qingzhou army lost at least a few thousand people, and the retreating team was covered in muddy colors. When they looked back at the Jizhou army on the city wall, the Jizhou army was also looking at them, but they were completely different.

The Jizhou army on the city wall was cheering, and the sound was higher and higher, while the Qingzhou army left silently, with everyone's expressions looking very bad.

When Tang Pidian returned to Nancheng, the Qingzhou army outside had retreated far away. When Xiahou Zhuo saw Tang Pidian come back, he went up and got a bear hug from Tang Pidian.

The two of them stood at the edge of the city wall and looked outside. Xiahou Zhuo was silent for a long time and said, "Maybe it won't take long. The whole world will know your Tang Pi's name."

Tang Pidian smiled and didn't say anything.

Xiahou Zhuo said: "If you were the Qingzhou army, how would you attack Jizhou?"

Tang Pidian said: "A strong city like Jizhou, as long as there is enough food and grass, it can be easily defeated. If you want to break the city, the best way is to cooperate inside and outside."

Xiahou Zhuo was stunned, and he turned his head to look at Tang Pidian: "The people from the Cui family should have been prepared."

Tang Piddi smiled and said, "But the people of the Cui family did not expect that their army would attack the city in the rain, so they did not do anything."

Xiahou Zhuo asked again: "What's the future?"

"It's nothing more than setting fire."

Tang Pidian said: "When the Qingzhou army attacks the city, the Cui family set fires everywhere in the city. If they can seize a city gate, they can lead the Qingzhou army into the city. There are not many ways to think of such things, and there is also... kill you."

Xiahou Zhuo said: "Then I will go and slaughter the Cui family."

"Don't."

Tang Piddi said: "If nothing unexpected happens, the people of the Cui family can hide it, and there will be only some servants left in the Cui family's mansion. At this time, you will only panic among other families in the city, and others who will force you to surrender."
