The leading generals and schools of the various ministries did not arrange drill tasks, but simply carried out some training and arrangements during the rain, and then announced their disbandment. The dry soldiers who were drenched thoroughly ran back to the camp to change their wet clothes. clothes and put on clean clothes.

And Su Ji, who was reprimanded by Zhao Junsheng last night, also treated the Confederate Army with the same stern attitude as he would treat a general. Military discipline and military regulations strictly require military appearance and style.

"Okay, that's all for today. Because of the rain, today's siege plan can only be put on hold temporarily. After the dissolution, everyone returns to the camp to change into clean clothes, and then goes to have breakfast. After breakfast, return to the camp to stand by. No orders are allowed." Come out and disband!"

The soldiers dispersed at once.

Many of the rules of the army were originally set by Zhao Junsheng. Even the camp location, scale and various facilities when marching and setting up camp have detailed regulations. There are also necessary facilities, including drainage ditches .

If there were no drainage ditches, according to the amount of rainfall this time, the camp would already be covered with ocean. Although the rainwater was drained from the drainage ditches, the camp would already be covered in mud, and the heavy rain was still falling, and it still didn’t stop According to the signs, the soldiers of the dry army can't do anything, they can only sleep in the camp, and this is what the soldiers are looking forward to. After finally catching this opportunity, they must get enough sleep.

After breakfast, the soldiers all lay in their tents with their heads covered and fell asleep, snoring one after another, just to see which tent had the loudest snoring.

"Get ready and go to patrol the camp!" Zhao Junsheng told Li Bao who was standing beside him.

"promise!"

Kang Yide brought over an oiled paper umbrella, and Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "What do you use this for in such heavy rain? Go get an oiled paper raincoat!"

"promise!"

Zhao Junsheng was wearing an oilskin raincoat to patrol the camp with Li Bao and others. Except for the sentry and patrol team, there was no one else in the camp.

After inspecting the cavalry camp, Zhao Junsheng found that in some camps, everyone was sleeping, in some camps, soldiers were gossiping, and in some camps, soldiers were doing some useful activities. Zhao Junsheng didn't bother with them, it was rare for the soldiers to have their own free time .

Zhao Junsheng asked as he walked, "By the way, are the guard post and ranger post outside the camp still there?"

Yang Lie replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, no matter what the weather is, the guard posts and ranger posts outside the camp cannot be withdrawn. This concerns the safety of the entire army, so I don't think I'm so ignorant!"

"That's good, you can't be careless at any time, and you can't get carried away. Some rules seem rigid and unreasonable. When it comes to critical moments, they can save all lives. Just like now, if the defenders in the city suddenly come out of the city to attack in the rain Our military camp, while our guard posts and ranger posts on the outskirts hid due to heavy wind and heavy rain, and did not perform their duties normally, what kind of consequences will this cause?"

Chapter 1015 Exposing Intent

"Your Majesty's words are true, I will keep them in mind!" Yang Lie replied with cupped fists.

In fact, Chen Xian, the guard in the city, really took advantage of the heavy rain to lead troops out of the city to make a surprise attack on the army and agreed, but he finally gave up on this idea.

He has considered this matter carefully, and there are several reasons why he gave up this idea. First of all, the Ganjun has been monitoring the city of Chengdu. People were also sent out of the city to scout, but the people sent out did not come back. There is no doubt that the people sent out were caught or encountered an accident.

Secondly, the dry army promised to be more than ten miles away from the city wall. At this time, the heavy rain is not stopping. If the army goes out of the city to make a surprise attack, it will lose its combat effectiveness due to the rain after only passing through these ten miles, because the rain will wash away The heat from the human body was drenched for more than ten miles, and the soldiers were already shivering from the cold. How could they still have the strength to fight?

Thirdly, the siege of the Congregation Army is very fierce these days, and the defenders are very tired due to frequent battles due to the small number of soldiers and the small number of rotations. This rainy day is just a good time for the soldiers to rest and restore their physical strength and spirit.

Therefore, due to the above reasons, Chen Xian gave up his plan to go out of the city and storm the camp in the rain.

The tower of the east city gate had already been smashed to pieces by the military trebuchet on the first day, and the parapets of the city wall were also smashed incompletely. The city wall was full of potholes and broken walls.

Later, the military used catapults to fire kerosene bombs, and all the enemy buildings on the city gate and the city wall were burned down, leaving only the bare and dilapidated walls, and there was no place on the entire east wall. A location that can shelter from wind and rain.

But there must be no one left on the city wall, Chen Xian had no choice but to order people to set up some tents on the city wall, use bamboo poles as supports, and hold down with stones, so that the observation post could barely stay on the city wall.

Some of the defenders hid in the caves inside the city wall to rest. These soldiers were elite soldiers. If the enemy attacked, they would immediately run up the city wall to defend against the enemy, while most of the other defenders Soldiers and generals rested and sheltered from the rain in the barracks and civilian houses near the city wall.

This heavy rain gave the defenders a chance to recover their physical strength and spirit, but it brought a lot of inconvenience to the dry army, which made the morale of the allied troops gather again. Of course, this is just one aspect.

In addition, the heavy rain delayed the time for the army to get the news, making it impossible for some important information to be delivered to Zhao Junsheng in time.

The last point, and the most important point, this heavy rain made the dry army's logistics transport team face more difficult problems. For at least two days, the dry army's logistics transport team that was transporting luggage here could not set off.

The heavy rain lasted all day and night, and did not stop until the early morning of the next day.

This morning, Zhao Junsheng got up and saw the sun rise, but the camp was still covered with mud, and many low-lying places outside the camp were covered with puddles of water. This situation still made it impossible to attack the city.

Not to mention other things, the siege equipment could not move, and the soldiers were covered with mud when they stepped on it. After walking a few steps, their shoes were covered with mud, and it was difficult to walk. How could they attack the city?

As a result, the whole army, including the Cong Congjun, could only stay in the camp for the day, and the road surface was dried up in the evening when it was time to finish eating.

That night Zhao Junsheng approached Su Ji after dinner and said, "According to the current level of humidity on the ground, you should be able to go out and walk tomorrow morning, and there should be no problem moving the siege equipment. The soldiers also rested for two days. Your spirit has recovered a lot, is there any problem on your side?"

Su Ji clasped his fists and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, there is no problem here, I have already planned and deployed the next siege plan in the past two days, and strive to conquer Chengdu in one battle!"

"Okay, I will go to watch the battle!"

The next morning, the dry army was not in a hurry to attack the city. At dawn, the ground was still a little wet, and it was difficult for the siege equipment to move, and the soldiers were struggling to push it.

After morning exercises and breakfast, the sun rose, the temperature rose rapidly, and the ground was completely dried up after being baked by the sun for about an hour.

With Su Ji's order, the allied soldiers and generals, who were already ready to go, set out from the camp and headed towards Chengdu City. It took more than half an hour to cover the distance of more than ten miles. The soldiers still seemed relatively relaxed. The two days of rest were not in vain. , Physical strength has returned to the peak state, and everyone is full of energy.

On the wall of the East City Gate, the observation post saw a line of black spots in the distance. It was a crowd of people, and immediately shouted: "The enemy is coming!"

A companion next to him quickly picked up a mallet and hit it on the gong: "Dangdangdang"

When the siren sounded, all the defenders felt tense and rushed to their defensive positions with knives and guns.

Chen Xian ran up from under the city wall to observe, and shouted: "Everyone is in position, ready to meet the enemy! Auxiliary soldiers boil water, carry arrows, stones, wood, fire oil tanks, hurry up!"

"Add up the trebuchets for me, string up all the bed crossbows, and distribute the arrows to every archer!"

Following Chen Xian's order after order, the defenders began to get busy.

The army outside the city is slowly approaching. Zhao Junsheng is still sitting on the imperial chariot this time and leading a large group of troops to the east gate. Just like a few days ago, his dragon ride is flying high in the sky, which makes the defenders The generals saw it at a glance.

Lin Jinghui chased after him on a fast horse, slowed down beside Zhao Junsheng's imperial chariot and clasped his fists to report: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that the reinforcements from the Southern Dynasties arrived in Baling and joined the naval fleet and went to Yiling by boat. Lu Shuang's army is attacking Yiling, and there is no news that our army has broken through Yiling."

Zhao Junsheng frowned when he heard this. Although Yiling was a county, the Song State in the Southern Dynasty probably did not deploy many troops in Yiling. The Lu Shuang Department had [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. Didn't the news come that Yiling had been captured?

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, and said to Lin Jinghui: "Send someone to remind Lu Shuang that he must pay attention to the naval ships of the Song Army, and don't let the naval ships of the Song Army run to the back and send troops to steal his way!"

"promise!"

Dongfang Chen, who was riding next to him, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that Sima Chuzhi and Liang Yi order them to assemble troops to march towards Xiangyang and Huainan, putting military pressure on the eastern border defense line. Let's see the reaction of the Song Dynasty court." !"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, agreed to Dongfang Chen's suggestion, and sent someone to convey the will to Sima Chuzhi and Liang Yi.

However, if both Sima Chuzhi and Liang Yi are on the move, if the Song State cannot restrain itself, or if the Song State's monarchs and ministers are overheated, there is a possibility of a full-scale war between the Qian State and the Song State, but this is not what Zhao Junsheng should worry about. If the country is strong and the Song State is weak, the Qian State has the confidence to provoke at any time, but the Song State does not, and most of the time it can only swallow its anger.

Su Ji had already gone to the north gate to take charge of the battle, and Zhao Junsheng personally commanded the east gate.

The army lined up outside the east gate, Zhao Junsheng ordered the siege battalion to set up trebuchets, prepare bed crossbows and well fences, and ordered the siege troops to prepare for attack.

The side outside the east gate was ready, but there was no news from the north gate. Zhao Junsheng could only start attacking the city when Su Ji, who was commanding the battle outside the north gate, was ready.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the opposite city wall. Although the city wall had been smashed to pieces by the trebuchet, the flag of the defenders was still standing.

"National teacher, do you think the guard Chen Xian will be fooled?"

Dongfang Chen said: "This minister is hard to say, it depends on whether we can do enough tricks, but no matter how well we do it, we will inevitably leave holes, if Chen Xian is smart enough, he will definitely find clues! "
