Although he was in charge of Wang Zheng, he was often very casual in private: "It doesn't matter, it's just that the heavy rain has brought down a lot of soil. To be on the safe side, I have already ordered the soldiers who are looking after the war horses to move them to another place to keep them in order to prevent rocks from falling. Before starting the battle, we must first

The army horse was injured."

Zang Ba nodded, a little relieved.

As thieves and bandits, what they lacked the most in the early years was equipment and horses. The more they lacked, the more they liked it. Since starting with Tao Qian, whenever Zang Ba goes into battle, his first consideration is always the placement of cavalry and horses. This

Although the proportion of cavalry in the first attack on Beihai was not large, it was still the same.

Looking at the middle-aged man who remained silent, Zang Ba smiled and said, "Brother Huang, what are you thinking about?"

That person was Huang Zhong. At this time, he was listening to the sound of rain beside the brazier, with a serious expression on his face:

"General Zang, before we set off, the state pastor gave us an order, telling us to practice battle within a month so that we can train the new army in preparation for its use. At the same time, we should make an all-out offensive posture to turn Beihai's attention to the south.

Covering operations to the west."

"But now that we have just captured two cities, it rains heavily. I think the rain may not stop for a while. If this delays the war, we will be in trouble."

"We just launched an attack and conquered two cities in a short period of time. We must say that the momentum is already quite large." Zang Ba pondered for a while and said: "The so-called spring rain is as precious as oil, and this rain is coming so fiercely. Let's see, maybe

It will clear up in less than two or three days, and this battle will not be delayed. Brother Huang does not need to worry."

Due to his contribution to Tan City and the fact that he brought his troops and horses to join him, Zang Ba's current official position is naturally far higher than that of Huang Zhong. However, during this period of time, Huang Zhong's ability has completely impressed Zang Ba and the others.

He was so personal that even his titles became intimate.

Another person echoed: "What the leader said makes sense. Brother Huang, from my point of view, the rain is not all bad. If it goes according to plan, what we will fight next is Yi'an. This place is no better than the plateau.

The city is large, there are many people, and there is enough food and grass. There were originally a lot of defenders. I heard from the sentries that some troops and horses have recently arrived. It can be said that the troops and horses are strong. Although we are not afraid of it, after all, most of the troops are new soldiers. After fierce battles, they are already exhausted.

, it’s also good to take advantage of the rain and take a rest. It’s just in time to recharge your batteries, which will be helpful for fighting again in the future.”

"Brother Xu." Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "The reason why I am worried is precisely because there are too many new soldiers in our army."

Zang Ba was startled when he heard this: "How do you say this?"

"The Art of War goes like this: one burst of strength will be exhausted again, and three times it will be exhausted. The new soldiers rely on their momentary courage to fight. They have not been trained enough. In the past half month, they have suffered nearly a thousand casualties. If the delay lasts for a long time, let them come back to their senses.

, it is inevitable that we will lose courage and become timid and afraid of fighting. I am afraid it will be detrimental to future attacks on the city."

This makes sense, Zang Ba thought while pacing in the tent: "What should we do? Should we follow the example of Zhou Mu who attacked Linzi in the rain and attacked the city in the rain?"

"The two are not the same."

Huang Zhongdao: "Zhou Mu took the lead at that time, but it took a group of elites like Tianzhuying to break the formation together, so that they could conquer the city in one battle. How can we copy it and use these new soldiers?"

"Besides, cities are different from city to city."

"Linzi had been besieged for many days at that time. After a long battle, we were already exhausted. It was our first battle to attack Yi'an at this time. The enemy could not slack off. In such a heavy wind and rain, it was difficult to even walk, let alone attack the city. It’s difficult. Not to mention that the city wall is slippery, the field of vision is narrow, and the bow and arrow cannot be fired, it will definitely not work.”

"If God is not kind, what can we do?" Zang Ba sighed: "We can only wait patiently. Zhou Mu has always been open-minded and will be considerate. It is expected that he will not blame us for not being able to do it at the right time..."

Before he finished speaking, the conversation suddenly changed and he cursed directly: "Amon, what are you building to block the water? It's all poured in and wet Naigong's feet!"

The corridor in the camp outside the commander's tent was full of water. At this time, the soldiers were building a circle of earth and stones along the commander's tent as a barrier.

It's just that when the water accumulated high, it overflowed and soaked the ground inside the tent. Many puddles were formed in the potholes. Zang Ba just happened to step into one accidentally. Fortunately, the leather boots he was wearing were not soaked. , it just splashed a lot of muddy water on the armor.

Amon was the captain of his personal soldiers. He was standing outside the tent in the rain. He heard the order and responded loudly. He ordered people to raise the water barrier again, then took lime and firewood ash and sprinkled it finely inside the tent. On his armor Wherever there is water, it spreads or drips, making the ground white in the east and black in the west.

Zang Ba became even more unhappy and kicked him on the butt, scolding him: "Clumsy! Why do you think I'm so handsome? What's the use of you if you can't do this job well?"

Amon touched his butt and ran out of the tent, while replying with a playful smile: "I know the leader is irritable, and the little one can be beaten or scolded with his skin. It is also a blessing for him to calm the leader down."

While running, I accidentally knocked over two stones that were blocking the water. The water outside the tent suddenly found an outlet. In the blink of an eye, it filled the tent and was half a finger deep.

Lime and firewood ash spread out, along with the black charcoal, and for a while, the tent was in a mess.

Now Zang Ba was really angry. In a rage, he picked up his riding crop and rushed forward to deal with this useless subordinate.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded from beside him:

"Yes!"

What's there?

Zang Ba looked around in confusion, only to see Huang Zhong standing up and clapping the case, staring at him with joy on his face, his eyes shining brightly.

"General, I have an idea."
