Chapter 519 Continuous rain

“Hurry quickly…”

"The water is full again, scoop it out quickly, scoop it out."

...

In the coalition camp outside Yancheng, a soldier was fumbling by the rainwater poured into the tent.

In recent days, with the increasing precipitation, this has happened not the first time such a thing has happened in the coalition camp.

"Tick, tick, tick..."

In the main tent of the coalition forces not far from this camp, drops of rain fell from the top of the tent and several pottery bowls placed there, and a crisp sound kept ringing in the tent.

At this moment, Pang Juan, as the chief general of the coalition, focused his attention on the bamboo slips in his hand, and seemed to have not paid much attention to everything around him.

He picked up a pottery bowl beside him, and after drinking it all, Pang Juan slowly turned the bamboo slips in his hand, and continued to read them carefully.

"General."

Just at this moment, a sound from outside the tent interrupted Pang Juan's reading that was pouring into his mind.

When Pang Juan raised his head and looked at the person coming, he appeared on his face a little kind, "Secret Han, what's the situation in the camp?"

Han Yue, who entered the tent, was obviously not as calm as Pang Juan. His worries slowly lingered between his eyebrows and had not dissipated for a long time.

"Thanks to the General's insight into the weather and moved our army camp to a high place in the northwest in time. If it weren't for this, the situation would be unimaginable."

Thinking of Pang Juan's previous orders and thinking about these positions at this time, Han Yue felt a little more glad.

But when the scenes I saw in the camp just now came into my eyes, a hint of worry once again rose to Han Yue's brows.

"It's just that the rain is continuous, and our army has been unable to attack the city for a long time and can only be trapped in the camp. The morale of the soldiers has been greatly hit."

"Not only that, because it is too wet, many people in the camp have fallen ill."

"If you delay like this, I'm afraid..."

In the years of wars, the princes from all directions have regarded the Wei army as a strong army in the world, and the 60,000 soldiers under Pang Juan are even more elite among the elite.

In addition to the 40,000 Korean troops led by Han Yue, holding powerful bows and crossbows, the combat power of this army is rare in the world.

If the Chu army and this coalition forces set aside on the plains, the Wei and Han coalition forces would inevitably gain an overwhelming advantage.

However, the solid walls of Yancheng blocked the Wei and Han alliances' heading south; while the continuous rain in Chu dragged the attack of the 100,000 troops.

When facing the changing weather, even as strong as 60,000 Wei troops were powerless. They could only stay in the camp and silently wait for the day when the sky cleared.

Just as Pang Juan and Han Yue were discussing the situation in the camp recently and the atmosphere in the big tent gradually became stagnant, the sound of rain outside the tent seemed to have stopped.

"Tick..."

He raised the pottery bowl beside him again and drank it all, and Pang Juan walked out of the big tent.

"The rain seems to have stopped temporarily. Han Xiang left, let's go to the high ground together to take a look."

"Go to the high place to see, what does this mean? General..."

Although he didn't understand what Pang Juan meant, and although he was full of doubts, facing Pang Juan who was striding forward, Han Yue still followed his footsteps.

When the two stood high, the fresh earthy atmosphere after the rain penetrated into their noses, and a long-lost relaxation appeared on their faces.

Looking down from the high slope, Yancheng, which is the barrier of Yingdu, came into view from the two of them not far away.

Looking at the solid city, the little relaxation that had just risen in Han Yue's heart also turned into concerns about the war.

"Our army has been delayed outside Yancheng for a long time. I don't know when it will be able to capture Yancheng and take the capital of Chu, Yingdu?"

Just as Han Yue betted all his eyes on Yancheng in front of him, Pang Juan's attention was on the rolling river at the foot of the valley.

Due to the rain and rain over the past few days, this river has expanded several times compared to before, and the large tracts of land on both sides of the river have been swallowed up.

At this moment, this river is carrying a huge turbulent flow from the northwest to the southeast, and Yancheng is also downstream of the river.

"Secret Han, is this Yanshui?"

"That's right." Looking in the direction of Pang Juan's finger, Han Yue also saw the surging river water in front of him. "This Yan River is also called Yi River, which is a tributary of the Han River. Because it flows through Yancheng, it is called Yan River."

After listening to Han Yue's reply, he looked at Yan Shui in front of him, and a trace of enlightenment seemed to emerge in his eyes.

...

On the front line of Yancheng, taking advantage of the rain, Pang Juan and Han Yue were climbing high and looking into the distance.

In Wandi Wancheng, three hundred miles away from Yancheng, Wei Wang, who was standing on the high platform, was also overlooking the house in the distance.

Slowly retracted his hand and felt the coldness from the rain on his palm, a hint of worry appeared on Wei Fu's face.

"It's been a long time since this rain!"

"Your Majesty, the rain in the land has been on and off for a month."

The answer from the waiter beside him made the worry on Wei Fu's face slightly darker.

Wei Hun never worried about the commander he chose and the soldiers under the State of Wei.

The victory of the past battles has already laid a deep belief in Wei Fu's heart.

The Wei army was invincible.

However, the continuous rain in Chu made Wei Yu feel a little worried. The offensive was delayed and the elite army on the front line had no room for display.

When will the rain end and when will the red flag be planted on the top of the capital of Chu State Yingdu?

As Wei Fu's thoughts were flowing, a sound of footsteps suddenly rang behind him.

When he looked back, the person who came was the prime minister of Wei and Gongsun Qi.

"Old minister, pay homage to the king."

"The prime minister does not need to be too polite." After countless times of ceremonies between the king and his ministers, Wei Feng asked Gongsun Qi casually: "Prime Minister, how is the battle on the front line of Yancheng?"

"According to the general's return, the rain still stops from time to time, and it is difficult for our army to launch an offensive against Yan Chen."

After receiving the news similar to before, Wei Yu's reaction was extremely calm, and his attention immediately turned to another army.

"Crown Prince, where did the army led by Situ have arrived?"

"Your Majesty, because the rain slowed down the march, the prince and Situ's troops were still several days away from Xiling."

Facing Gongsun Qi's answer, Wei Fu still nodded lightly. It was obvious that he was prepared for the advancement of another army.

Just as the words between the two sides seemed a bit stalemate because the frontline was not progressing smoothly, Gongsun Qi took out a memorial from Anyi from his arms.

"Report to the King, Sima has a plan to offer it to the King to help our army with his help."

"oh!"

Sima Sun Boling's ability to predict the enemy's first ability was always recognized by Wei Fu. Now that he heard that he had a plan from Anyi, Wei Fu became a little curious.

When I took a silk book from Gongsun Qi, there were only a few curved lines on it.

"water?"

Wei Yu looked at the word "water" written in large seal script in his hand with some confusion, and then turned his gaze to Gongsun Qi on the side.

"Prime Minister, what does the word "shui" mean?"

"Water? Could it be that a river near Yancheng..."

As soon as Gongsun Qi said his guess, he recalled the mountains, rivers and rivers around Yancheng. As his eyes intersected, a bright color appeared on the faces of the two of them at the same time.

"Could this water refer to..."

"Quickly, send this to the front line quickly and hand it over to the general!"
