The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 103
There was a sudden crack in the sky, and a pea-sized raindrop fell on the back of Jiang Chuan's hand on the city wall. He looked up at the gloomy sky and murmured, "Is it finally about to fall?"

He was wearing bright silver armor, the red tassels on the top of the helmet were flying in all directions in the strong wind, and the big red cloak behind him was flapping in the wind.He pressed his left hand on the scabbard of the lord's sword at his waist, and looked back at the large formation of the Qing army outside the city.

Beside him, Liu Ji, who has always been graceful and graceful in long gowns with long sleeves, has also changed his attire today. He is wearing soft armor, an iron helmet on his head, a big red cloak behind him, and a long sword hanging from his waist. He looks like a Confucian general.

"It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. The military commander's outfit today really looks like an ancient famous general." Looking at Liu Ji next to him, Jiang Chuan looked up and down and laughed teasingly.

Liu Ji smiled embarrassedly and said, "My lord, don't make fun of me. Since Liu Ji is a member of Jiang's army, he should be strong and strong, and he will be united with the lord and all the soldiers. Even if he can't fight the enemy himself, he can use this To boost morale. Otherwise, a scholar standing on this chilling city wall will become a different kind."

Jiang Chuan praised: "The military advisor is right. Military advisor, look at the formation of the Tartars below, what do you think?"

"The killing is strict and the momentum is like a rainbow. It should not be underestimated." Liu Ji said in a slightly contemplative voice.

"Indeed, this is a team that cannot be underestimated. For a country whose national power is on the rise, the momentum of the army is the reflection of the national power." Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement.

"My lord is wise. So this battle we are not only fighting against the Qing soldiers below, but also against the power of the Manchus. If we win this battle, the Manchus will definitely be affected. So for the future Our development and expansion will be of great benefit." Liu Ji said in a deep voice.

"In that case, let's see if we can win the fate of the Tartars this time." Jiang Chuan said with a faint smile.

Just as he finished speaking, there was another loud bang above his head, followed by a flash of lightning piercing the sky, brightening the dark sky suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, huge raindrops fell rapidly and violently, crackling on the city wall paved with blue bricks.

"Let's go, military advisor, go into the tower to hide from the rain." Jiang Chuan pulled Liu Ji, and the two quickly walked towards the tower.

The heavy rain that had been holding back for two days finally poured down. Accompanied by thunderclaps and lightning across the sky from time to time, as far as the eye could see, the entire world was a vast expanse. I can't see clearly.

The 5000 forwards of the Qing army had just arrived under the Erlonggu Fortress, and when they saw such a tall city wall building in the distance, they all exclaimed in unison.

Most of these people have been to Datong City. Although Datong City is also a city with high walls and thick walls, the city walls are only about three or four feet high, which is already very high in the eyes of the Qing soldiers.

But I didn't expect that the bandit den in front of me would build the wall higher than the city wall of Datong City, even twice as high, it's just crazy.

This is not a lair of horse thieves, this is clearly a fortress with perfect defense, tall and strong!
Looking at such a tall and strong wall, few Qing soldiers were surprised by the strength of this group of bandits who had previously dismissed them.Many people are open to reassess the strength of the enemy they are about to face.

It's just that the sudden heavy rain made them unable to continue to look at the enemy fortress in front of them. One by one braved the heavy rain and started to set up camps, to set up camps for the main force of the coming army.

Otherwise, once the camp has not been set up when the army arrives, the former army leader will definitely be unlucky.

And the unlucky consequence must be to lose his head.

The reason why the Manchu army was so strong, in addition to its strong physical fitness and fearless fighting spirit, is also one of the important factors of strict military discipline.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the whole world became a vast expanse of whiteness. People's sight was severely blocked, and basically they couldn't see clearly even ten meters away.

All the soldiers of the Jiang family army stationed on the top of the city were ordered to hide in the tower.The soldiers stationed on the tower hid in the second floor and the first floor to avoid the rain.

On the entire city wall, only a large flag with the word "Jiang" in gold on a red background can be seen flying and fluttering in the violent wind and rain.

Under such weather, neither the attacker nor the defender will engage in combat.Not to mention how much damage the enemy can cause you, even God will make you miserable.

The scope of the heavy rain this time was not small, and the main force of Duoduo, which was fifty miles away, was also severely hindered in its marching speed because of the sudden heavy rain.

After braving the heavy rain for a while, the rear army came to report that because the road was muddy, many baggage vehicles and vehicles got stuck in the mud, and the marching speed suddenly slowed down.

Although the cavalry was a little better, the four hooves of the war horse were also stuck in the soft muddy water, and the speed was also greatly affected.And the infantry was even worse. The soles of their feet were covered with mud, and they had to shake off the mud vigorously every time they took a step. It could be said that they were struggling.

Moreover, the heavy rain tended to get bigger and bigger. Duoduo had no choice but to order a temporary camp to avoid the rain.

In the tower, Jiang Chuan stood at the lookout and looked down, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Military Master, are all the people settled down?"

From the very beginning when he entered the valley, Jiang Chuan was more worried about one thing, and that was the hazards of mudslides caused by landslides.

In my previous life, I often read news reports about how many people were buried in landslides in various places, which made people feel heartbroken.

This valley is originally formed by sandwiching two tops, and the mountains are all stone mountains. Once a landslide occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

He had told Liu Ji about this a long time ago, and now seeing the rain getting heavier, he suddenly remembered.

The 1 or so people under him now have a pre-determined popular opinion, but they can't stand the toss of any accident.

"Please rest assured, my lord. I have taken people to check all the places where landslides are possible near the people's residences. Basically, the vegetation is lush and the mountains are solid. There should be no possibility of landslides. Some places that feel more dangerous, I have arranged The people have been transferred. The residential construction sites are also temporarily suspended, and everything will resume work after the rain stops.”

Liu Ji replied calmly.

"That's good. The people are the cornerstone of our foundation. We must not make the people suffer because of our negligence." Jiang Chuan nodded.

"My lord is benevolent and loves the people. It is the blessing of the people. Liu Ji will definitely not let the lord down." Liu Ji cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.

"Naturally, I believe in the military division. I just don't know how long the heavy rain will last. I won't wait until the rain stops and all the Tartars below will be washed away, so there will be no more fun." Jiang Chuan said a cold joke, and then laughed to himself up.

Liu Ji was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed too, but in his heart he secretly complained that the lord's cold joke was not funny at all.

　The second one arrives.It seems that the third update will be sent out after midnight.
