On this day, a light rain fell from the sky, and a light rain fell in a hundred miles, covering the entire street pavilion.

"It's raining!"

Huang Shao stood in front of the tent, his tiger eyes were awe-inspiring, staring ahead, under the rain in front of him, it was hazy, but he was a little depressed in his heart.

A battle is indispensable at the right time, in the right place and in the right people.

After the night raid battle, he already had an advantage in the battlefield situation, even if Ma Teng's strength was still above him, he could also fight against the guest, and fight with strong pressure, and it seemed that Ma Teng was forced into a desperate situation.

That's when it rains.

It may be a good thing for Ma Teng, but for the Yellow Turban Army, it is a bit of a pitfall, and the offensive side will definitely be hindered by the rain, whether it is the situation of the mountain road or the climate and environment, it will be a great obstacle to the Yellow Turban Army.

"General Zhonglang, because of the sudden rain, the scouts have found nothing, and at present, the hazy area between us and the Xiliang army has become more, do you want to continue to attack according to the original plan!"

Meng Da walked in and said.

"The departments continue to rest and wait for military orders!"

Huang Shao thought for a while and said: "Attacking in the rain, the burden is too great, and our soldiers have only fought a high-load battle, if we continue to fight in the rain, our physical strength is excessive, maybe we will be taken advantage of!" ”

"No!"

Meng Da went to give the order.

"Wait!"

"Zhonglang will still have orders!"

"Send scouts to explore the horse, contact the main force as soon as possible, according to the original plan, the main force should have left Qishan early, go north to Xixian, and then enter the street pavilion from Xixian, but there is no contact on the Xixian side, I am a little uneasy!"

"Yes!"

Meng Da nodded.

…………

"It's raining!" The military camp in Xiliang and Longxi cheered a little.

"God hangs the curtains!"

Ma Teng looked at the continuous light rain: "Finally gave us time to take a breath!" ”

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Order all the departments to take advantage of this rainy time to rest as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, send the scouts to a radius of five miles, and ensure that they are on guard!"

"Yes!"

"Lord, now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief!" Li Kan reminded: "The herdsmen always look down, and we must get out of the street pavilion to be out of danger!" ”

"You still want me to withdraw to Guanzhong?"

Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief, even in a calm state, he was still unwilling to withdraw to Guanzhong like this.

"It's the best option!"

"But I still want to give it a try, I believe in Ma Chao, give Ma Chao some more time, he will definitely be able to win stability, and when the time comes, we will be able to break through the defense line of the herdsman, go straight to stability, and return to Liangzhou!"

Ma Teng doesn't like Ma Chao's eldest son very much, because Ma Chao is related to a scar he had back then, and the Ma family is also a famous family in Liangzhou.

Many people regard the Ma clan as the orthodoxy of the Han people in Liangzhou.

But it was just that the Ma family was in a crisis back then, and he had to marry a tribe of the Qiang people in order to solve the problem, and then give birth to Ma Chao.

The point is not that.

It was Ma Teng's later re-emergence, but in order to erase this shameful marriage, Ma Chao's mother clan was killed like a river of blood, and almost slaughtered a Qiang tribe.

Ma Chao knows this well.

But Ma Teng has a knot in his heart, so he has always had a mustard in Ma Chao's heart, maybe he doesn't dare to face it.

From childhood to adulthood, the most outstanding is always Ma Chao, whether it is learning literature and practicing martial arts, leading troops to fight, or charging into battle, Ma Chao has shown his extraordinary ability to find people.

Don't like it, don't like it.

He still absolutely trusts this eldest son.

"But the night is long and there are many dreams, don't forget, the main force of the herdsman army will enter the battlefield at any time!"

Li Kan smiled bitterly, if they can return to Liangzhou smoothly, it will naturally be the best, Liangzhou is their home field, whether it is for logistics or the environment, it will be of great help, and it will definitely give me a home advantage.

But the current situation, once the main force of the herdsmen came in, their resistance became a little difficult.

"It's just raining now, and the rain makes the battle difficult, presumably the shepherd army is not iron-clad, the risk of attacking in the rain is too great, they shouldn't take the risk, let's wait two days early!"

Ma Teng gritted his teeth: "Within two days, if there is no news from Ma Chao, we will return to Longguan and withdraw to Guanzhong to rest first!" ”

……………………

Creeping in the grass, Gao Ding really wanted to scold his mother.

"Damn God!"

"You said it early when it rained!"

"Just say it, don't you kill people!"

Gao Ding wiped the rain from his face and scolded in his heart, but his expression was very stable, and a pair of eyes stared ahead.

"Report to Gao Sima, there are only five miles left from Longguan, the left flank in front, less than three miles, there are traces of the Xiliang army, the rainy environment is too complicated, I dare not approach!"

"Let the scouts withdraw first!"

"No!"

The scout marquis took the order and turned to leave.

"Gao Sima, are you still fighting?" The sixth battalion of the third army of Jingping, Chen Zhen, the chief general and captain, Chen Xiaoqi asked in a low voice.

"Hit!"

Gao Ding said coldly.

"Gao Sima, starting a war now is very unfavorable to us, we can't see clearly, it's easy to blur the combat target, we definitely can't go to a quick battle, once we are trapped, we face a death battle!"

The seventh battalion Lu dared to stand up, and some questioned Gao Ding.

"The battle plan should have variables, and we can't change our battle plan because of the variables!"

Gao Ding said calmly: "The rain has indeed made our combat conditions difficult, but the effect is relative, they will also face the ambiguity of the surrounding environment on rainy days, but it is reasonable for us!" “

"A military order is a military order!"

"Zhang Liao Zhonglang will order us to seize the Longguan Pass, then we must take it!"

"There is no room for bargaining!"

Gao Ding's words are categorical.

He is the Sima of the left army of the Jingping Third Army, and he is also the vanguard of this battle, commanding the sixth battalion, the seventh battalion, and the main force of the two battalions of Jingping, and the goal is to block the Longguan Pass and force the Xiliang Longxi Army into a desperate situation.

The Third Army of Jingping is a relatively strong army in the pastoral army, with seven combat battalions and 20,000 combat soldiers and horses, and the sixth and seventh battalions do not have a strong sense of existence, and even in the Southern Expedition Campaign, they did not play much role.

But after all, it was rectified by veterans, and there has been a lot of high-intensity training over the years, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not weak.

Gao Ding is confident that he will win the Longguan Pass.

………………………………

On the battlefield of Jieting, the three armies are staggered, and in the north of Jieting, on the road leading to Anding County, in the midst of a rain, soldiers and horses are marching rapidly.

"I took Anding County, and I was delayed for two days, and I don't know what happened to my father?"

Ma Chao's majestic body rode on horseback, ignoring the rain dripping on his face: "It stands to reason that he should have entered stability a long time ago, but now, there is no news at all!" ”

"Major General, the sons and daughters are too tired, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's take a rest first, otherwise, when we enter the battlefield, I am afraid that we will not have any combat power!"

An adjutant general walked up and said in a low voice.

Ma Chao turned around and looked at his son-in-law.

The heavy rain march, walking still on a rugged mountain road, the burden on physical fitness is too heavy, even these elite soldiers, are a little unbearable.

If this continues, even if you reluctantly rush back to the battlefield, it may not be effective.

"Find a place, set up a tent, and take shelter from the rain for half a day!"

Ma Chao thought about it and said in a deep voice.

"No!"

The generals commanded.

"Major General, drink water!" A strong man walked up, held a knife, and handed the water bladder to Ma Chao.

"Green ghost, you don't seem to have told me all these years that you are from that tribe!"

Ma Chao raised his head, looked at the strong man, and suddenly asked: "I have seen a lot of Qiang people, their tribe does not have the green leaf tattoo on your body, I also found some books, in the records of the Qiang tribe, it seems that there are only ......"

"Tsing Yi Qiang!"

The strong man said: "Major General, I'm from Tsing Yi Qiang!" ”

"Tsing Yi Qiang, who was destroyed more than ten years ago!" Ma Chao had heard of it: "You are a Qiang person, why are you willing to follow me and teach me martial arts since I was a child." ”

"I'll tell you later!"

The strong man raised his head, looked at the surrounding mountain shadows, and said: "Major General, the terrain here is a little unsafe, after resting, it is better to withdraw from these mountain roads as soon as possible, I suspect that once it continues to rain, it will rain heavily, and the mountains will collapse here!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"I grew up in the mountains, and I've seen landslides!"

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Order, rest and reform for an hour, and after an hour, go out in the rain!"

"Yes!"

……………………

Guanzhong, right to support the wind.

"Ling Ming, the lord ordered us to stay in Chencang to lure the enemy, and we rashly withdrew from Chencang and entered Liangzhou, which is against the lord's military order!"

"If I don't go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the lord, I am the lord, listen to me, any consequences, I will bear it myself!"

The young man is wearing armor, hunting in a cloak, heroic and extraordinary, holding a big knife in his hand, his breath is like a tiger, a war horse in his crotch, galloping like thunder, and the momentum of rushing up makes even the soldiers on the left and right dare not look directly.

"Pass my order, speed up the march, you must arrive at Longguan within two days!" The boy cried out angrily.

"Yes!"

More than 5,000 soldiers and horses raised thousands of flying sand and rocks.
