The trees wept in the heavy rain, and the ripe grains, fruits, and vegetables became moldy and rotted in the rain day and night, in the water, and in the howling of the crazy wind.

Some were broken into pieces, some were swallowed up by the muddy water, and some were even uprooted and hung on the top of the mountain with the brutal wind. The sky was cloudy and foggy, and lightning and thunder shook the sky and the earth, endlessly.

Life is decadent, all things are decaying, and it seems that only lightning, thunder and rain are left in the universe. They dominate the world, wreaking havoc on fields, villages, and cities, arrogantly committing tyranny, ignoring the pleading eyes of all things, and ignoring the muddy and solemn tears.

.

Chengdu seems to be floating in the rain and swaying in the strong wind!

In the evening when the Qin army launched a surprise attack, Gong Ao was still inspecting the military camp.

The endless rainstorm made everyone angry to death, and they always regretted that they should not have rashly raised troops to invade the country. It was all Li Yu's fault for looking for trouble.

In the past few days, Gong Ao's heart was about to explode. Half a month later, the overwhelming momentum of the Linjiang Army and the high fighting spirit that swept the three armies had disappeared. But Chengdu was still under the control of Zhao Bi, Qi Gill, and Huan.

Yan was in control. Gong Ao, wearing a raincoat and armor, patrolled the military camp on foot, followed by Li Yu and two generals. Looking at the hazy Chengdu in the rain, he wished he could fly into the city with wings.

Cut off the heads of Zhao Bi, Qi Yi, and Huan Yan.

Li Yu came close to Gong Ao and whispered, "Your Majesty, go back to the commander's tent quickly! You're all wet!"

Gong Ao stood there without moving, and gave Li Yu a roll of his eyes. When he first sent out troops, Li Yu encouraged him, saying how easy it was to obtain the land of Bashu, with no effort at all, don't do it in vain, that tone

It was as if he was talking about a stray dog ​​that no one wanted. Gong Ao thought that just like what he said, he would be able to annex Bashu in less than a month, pass through the Qinling Mountains, go straight into Guanzhong, destroy the violent Qin and dominate the world. But he couldn't.

Unexpectedly, the battle was not won, but instead they were trapped outside the city by the heavy rain, unable to advance or retreat.

Gong Ao felt that we could not continue like this. Either we should attack the city or we should go back to our hometown.

General E Qianqiu, who was standing next to Gong Ao, looked at Gong Ao's expression and knew that he was in a dilemma. E Qianqiu had already felt that the situation at hand was not optimistic, and wanted to persuade Gong Ao to withdraw his troops, but he really did not dare to offend him.

Li Yu, the prime minister of Linjiang Kingdom, his eyes rolled to his heart, he cupped his hands and said to Gong Ao: "Your Majesty, go to the tent to express your condolences to the soldiers. They need to boost their morale."

Li Yu didn't know that E Qianqiu was setting a trap for him, so he nodded and thought it was time to boost his morale.

When Gong Ao walked into the tent and took a look, he was shocked. Due to the heavy rain for many days, although the tent was built on a high place, the ground was still wet and puddled with water. The water on the roof of the tent was also dripping down. It was really

It was raining heavily outside and light rain inside. The soldiers' clothes were soaked and soaked, and the firewood was so wet that water could be squeezed out. Half of the stove was soaked in water. There was an iron pot leaning on the pot platform, and there were two bowls of half-cooked food inside.

Porridge. The soldiers huddled together one by one, with a blue-gray disappointment evident in their depressed expressions. Some soldiers had blisters all over their bodies, some had diarrhea and high fevers, and those who were healthy and healthy were reluctantly keeping their spirits up.

, some played dice for fun, some drowned their sorrows with wine, and some gathered in a group and talked about women to seek stimulation. The tent was filled with moisture and miasma.

When the soldiers saw the king coming in, they all hurriedly stood up with support. Gong Ao motioned with his hand to them to sit there and not move. However, the soldiers still gathered around. They stared at Gong Ao and the two adults and begged; "

Your Majesty, General, let us attack the city! Instead of squatting in tents and suffering, it is better to attack the city and die happily."

After Gong Ao heard this, his heart was full of bitterness. How could he fight in this state? The soldiers had no confidence. Opening one's mouth or keeping silent would mean death, and defeat would be certain.

Back in the tent, night has fallen, and the heavy rain has turned into a drizzle, a sultry burst of emotion and sadness.

E Qianqiu found an opportunity when Li Yu was not around and ran to Gong Ao's handsome tent. As soon as Gong Ao saw his expression, he knew something was wrong with him: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

E Qianqiu always muttered, don't offend Prime Minister Li Yu by doing this, always looking back. Gong Ao said angrily, "I'm asking you, what do you think?" E Qianqiu came to his senses: "

Your Majesty, let’s run! This battle cannot be fought this way. If the battle continues like this, there will be trouble in the military camp! The brothers live in tents and suffer from the cold, but the soldiers in the city are free. They have a place to live and food to eat.

We should also recharge our batteries. If the rain stops and we break out of the city gate, we will be in trouble! I think we should hide in Bajun for a while and come out when the weather gets better!"

E Qianqiu's intentions were good, and what he said was quite right. The problem was that he couldn't speak. What about 'running' and 'hiding'? These words almost made Gong Ao furious. He slapped the table.

He said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't reached the end of my rope yet. I don't believe it. I can't even take down a small Chengdu. I'm sending an order to the three armies to attack the city at noon tomorrow!"

E Qianqiu had the opposite effect and walked out of the tent dejectedly.

The more Gong Ao thought about it in the tent, the more angry he became. When he came from Jiangling, the Linjiang army was so powerful and powerful that it had more than 100,000 troops. It was like a wind and demon passing through the border. It captured Bajun in one fell swoop. Such a majestic force, how could it be possible?

It would be too embarrassing to evacuate like this secretly.

Heavy rain fell all day long, and suddenly tired stars hung out in the late night sky. The wind calmed down, and the moon shone dimly on the tent. The sounds of frogs and insects in the fields were like a tide, and the ground was completely white.

, the moisture in the air is enough to make it difficult to breathe, and except for the sound of the rushing water, the world is as silent as death.

The Linjiang troops were as listless as flooded crops. Taking advantage of this moment, they came out of their tents. Some were sleeping soundly on the floor tiles, some were sleeping in the hay, and some lit a pile of firewood and took off their wet clothes.

Clothes were being baked, and some were scolding their father and mother.

Gong Ao sat in front of a simple table and looked at the lone lamp, drinking to drown his sorrows. He drank bowl after bowl, the more he drank, the more he drank. In the end, his face was red, his eyes were black, and he was so dizzy that he could not stand.

He got up. After drinking more than a dozen bowls, he fell into a drowsy state. He lay on the table and fell asleep, completely immersed in his dreamland.

At midnight, the Linjiang Army camp was quiet. There were no camp lights or bangers to tell time. Because of the heavy rain for days, even the sentries on the archery towers and observation towers were withdrawn. The entire military camp was basically in an undefended state.

At this moment, on the road outside the west gate of Chengdu, horse hooves were flying, water was flying, and countless Qin army cavalry rushed over like a flood over a dam.

"No, the Qin army has stolen the camp. The Qin army has stolen the camp." It wasn't until Guan Ying's soldiers rushed into the camp gate and set fire to more than a dozen tents that the exhausted Linjiang army discovered it, and there was chaos.

The Linjiang soldiers who were sleeping soundly woke up from their dreams, scrambled and hurriedly responded to the battle. The Qin army came with rockets, waiting for them to wake up. The Qin soldiers who entered Dazhai immediately divided into five groups and followed five paths.

, rampaged through the camp and lit countless tents on fire along the way. He killed everyone he saw and never talked nonsense. The Linjiang military camp suddenly burst into flames and black smoke rose into the sky. At this time, Huan Yan received a report and saw Linjiang at the top of the city.

The army was in chaos, and I was still wondering what was going on. In order to keep it secret, Wang Zhu did not notify the city in advance to cooperate in the battle, and he was also kept in the dark.

How could the Linjiang Army, who was not yet fully awake, be the opponent of the Qin Army's cavalry who responded quickly? The entire camp suddenly screamed and screamed. Most of the dead bodies lying on the ground were wearing the uniforms of the Linjiang Army. The Qin Army waved their swords and guns.

They brutally chased every deserter, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Kill the invaders! Fight like hell!" These Qin soldiers had slept all day, had eaten well, and had almost recovered their energy.

, faced with such a good opportunity to make a meritorious service, how could you let it go, steel swords and spears, you come and go, try your best to greet the Linjiang army who were fleeing in all directions, crying for their fathers and mothers, and the whole military camp was turned upside down in an instant.

Gong Ao drank too much and was sleeping and dreaming. Suddenly he heard a commotion outside. He thought it was starting to rain heavily again. He rushed to the door crookedly and lifted up the curtain. He was suddenly confused and his eyes were filled with fire.

, a bloody light, other than that, there was only the sound of horse hooves as dense as raindrops and the screams of mourning, and nothing else could be seen.

At the critical moment of life and death, Gong Ao suddenly broke out in a sweat. The drunkenness passed in an instant, and his mind suddenly returned to clarity. He quickly pulled over a war horse that had lost its owner and was running around. He didn't even bother to put on armor, and kept wandering around randomly.

He grabbed a spear from the ground and angrily mounted his horse to supervise the battle. The horse's hooves wandered around and shouted loudly: "Hold on, brothers, hold on!"

But at this time, the army had been smashed to pieces by the Qin army. Seven or eight tenths of the entire military camp was burning with fire and thick smoke billowing. The soldiers were somewhat confused about their direction. Gong Ao's shouts were also lost.

They lost their charm in the past and shouted at the top of their lungs. There were only less than 2,000 soldiers gathered around them. The rest did not obey the orders at all and fled. Li Yu and E Qianqiu also led thousands of troops from two directions.

Arrive, planning to protect Gong Ao and break out of the siege.

"I can't stand it anymore, Your Majesty, let's go." E Qianqiu was covered in smoke and his face was dark, as if he had just climbed out of the chimney. Li Yu was also in a state of embarrassment, with his head spinning on his neck and sweating drop by drop.

It fell on the horse, fearing that a cold arrow would shoot from there and take his life.

At the critical moment, Gong Ao was still calm and shouted: "What's going on? There are so many Qin soldiers coming there, and there are so many cavalry in the city? Quick, organize soldiers to meet the enemy, they must be bluffing!"

Qianqiu said anxiously, "Your Majesty, it's too late. The soldiers are too tired to fight back. They can't be stopped. Let's go!"

Gong Ao saw that the uncommanded Linjiang troops were running around like headless flies, looking for death. He angrily hit E Qianqiu on the head with a whip: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, hurry up and meet them."

Enemy!" As he spoke, he himself looked at the fire and trembled all over, not daring to move. If the boss didn't fight for his life, who would be willing to move forward? E Qianqiu and Li Yu became even more greedy for life and feared death, watching countless soldiers fall in a pool of muddy blood.

In the middle, nothing can be done.

In fact, the Qin army only has 20,000 cavalry at most, and the following infantry has not yet been killed. At this time, if Gong Ao can take the lead and decisively give orders to meet the enemy, he may not be defeated miserably, and at least he can retreat unscathed. However, because of his

The greed for life and fear of death led to a command failure. The Linjiang army was unable to unite and concentrate, and was completely massacred.

Countless cavalrymen pressed towards General Ao's tent. Luo Shen and Guan Ying were killed from the left and right. "Capture King Linjiang alive, capture King Linjiang alive -" voices came from all directions, one after another.

The soldiers around Gong Ao responded with a flurry of arrows to the surging Qin soldiers, and immediately shot down hundreds of Qin soldiers. However, the speed of the cavalry was too fast, like homing pigeons jumping out of the fire. The moment they changed their arrows, they had already

Rushed to the front. Gong Ao shouted; "Retreat, retreat——"

E Qianqiu and his horse reins rushed out diagonally to block Luo Shen. Luo Shen was flying an enemy soldier when he suddenly saw a general coming to kill him. The long-handled ax was carrying a roaring strong wind, slashing hard from top to bottom.

Coming down, Luo Shen's big gun was raised, and with a click, E Qianqiu's ax flew away. E Qianqiu did not dare to fight, but when he saw Gong Ao and Li Yu running away, Guan Ying followed closely behind, turned around and chased after them.

Just after the heavy rain, the road was muddy, there was water underground, and there was fire all around. Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers swarmed back and trampled on each other. Some tripped and fell into the water, and were trampled into powder by the horseshoe men. Some were pushed in

In the fire, it burned to ashes in an instant. One by one, they scrambled for the first place, abandoned their helmets, and fled in the face of the wind. Just after retreating five miles, they suddenly heard the sound of a cannon from the opposite side, and a cavalryman jumped out of the darkness, like a cavalryman tumbling in the huge waves.

The black dragon rushed over ferociously. Li Yu watched the pursuers arrive and had no way to escape. There were screams of death from behind, and countless blades were shaking a mile away. He was trembling with fear.

When I was eager to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, I suddenly heard someone shouting in front of me: "Boldly share Ao, if Zhang Han comes here again, where will he escape?"

Gong Ao saw that Zhang Han was blocking him in front of him and Guan Ying and Luo Shen were chasing him. He was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. But now that the matter had come to an end, he could only use his life to save his life and kill to stop the killing. He roared: "Soldiers, fight with all your strength."

!" Taking the lead, leading more than 10,000 troops to charge outwards and fight bloody battles. However, the Linjiang army at this time was no longer the same as the team half a month ago. Nine out of ten were exhausted, and the remaining

One-tenth of them were seriously ill, and their combat effectiveness was not up to 50% of what it was before. In the small open space inside and outside the camp gate, the two sides fought for nearly three hours. Until dawn, Gong Ao was unable to stop him.

The encirclement was torn open, but the infantry and chariot soldiers of the Qin Army were continuously injected into the battlefield. The Linjiang Army was getting smaller and smaller, but the Qin Army was killing more and more. At this moment, suddenly on top of the Chengdu City

The drums and horns sounded, the shouts of killing were loud, and countless Qin troops rushed out from the north gate. When Huan Yan saw Wang Zhu's "Wang Banner", he immediately went to battle with Zhao Bi and Qi Ji's commanders, took a small road, and rushed Gong Ao from the flank.

An army in a desperate struggle.

The Linjiang Army was really unable to hold on. Most of the generals died, forty to fifty thousand soldiers died, and ten thousand deserted and escaped in the chaos. On the battlefield, blood was soaring to the sky, the ground was red, and corpses were everywhere in the cold rain. (
