Three Kingdoms King of the North

"If it's a torrential rain, that part of the city wall might be washed away." Han Zhan heard that there might be rain tonight, so he said impatiently, "Or, we'll attack the city tonight."

"No!" "No!" As soon as Han Zhan's words came out, Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang stopped them at the same time.

Seeing that the two had reached a tacit understanding, Han Zhan couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that the two of you, master and servant, could have such a tacit understanding. It's really rare. Brother, tell me your reason!"

"If there is heavy rain tonight, and our army wants to sneak attack on the city, the defenders in the city may also worry that we will take advantage of the heavy rain to attack the city, such as taking precautions." After explaining his reasons, Zhao Yun reminded Han Zhan: "If If our army attacks rashly, it is bound to suffer heavy losses."

"What about you, Yuan Fu." Han Zhan waited for Zhao Yun to finish speaking, then turned his attention to Zhou Cang: "Now tell me the reasons for your objection."

"Responding to my lord," Zhou Cang quickly replied, "Although the rammed earth wall in the northwest is not solid, it is not realistic to expect the wall to collapse just by one rainstorm. Only when the soil is softened by rainwater can it collapse.”

Don't look at Dongguang City which has been attacked several times in a row but has not been captured, but Han Zhan knows very well that the defenders in the city have been greatly reduced after repeated battles, and most of the rest are useless fighting people.If Zhou Cang could really lead his troops into the city, it would be easy to capture Dongguang City.

Thinking of this, he said to Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang: "Soldiers are precious and fast. If there is really a heavy rain tonight, then I plan to send troops to attack Dongguang City at night." Seeing that Han Zhan was so stubborn, Zhao Yun couldn't persuade him any more. , can only take Zhou Cang to choose the soldiers and horses for the night attack.

Shortly after dark, it really started to rain in the sky.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhao Yun hurriedly came to the big tent to meet Han Zhan: "Second brother, it is indeed raining. And there are signs that it is getting heavier and heavier. I think if we sneak attack tonight, we may be able to capture the city."

"Order!" Han Zhan ordered briefly.

"What, call for troops now?" Zhao Yun couldn't help being stunned when he heard Han Zhan say this: "Second Brother, isn't it a bit too early to rush to call for troops now that it has just rained?"

"It's not early at all." Han Zhan replied blankly: "Let the soldiers and horses participating in the night attack stand by outside, and attack Dongguang City immediately as soon as the order from the Marquis comes out."

Seeing that Han Zhan was so polite to him, Zhou Cang couldn't help but feel a little bit at a loss: "My lord, you're such a villain."

"Yuan Fu," although Zhou Cang had just come to join him, but Han Zhan from later generations knew him in far more detail than others. He planned to give Zhou Cang a chance to make contributions, and then he could promote him logically. "Tell me, when can we attack the city?"

"Tomorrow's attack on the city is a bit too hasty, so it's better to prepare for two more days." Zhou Cang said cautiously because he didn't understand Han Zhan's situation here: "That section of the city wall is made of rammed earth, and there is no brick outside. If there is a heavy rain, there may be a collapse, and it will be much easier for us to climb the city."

Han Zhan asked unhurriedly: "Yuan Fu, if the Marquis orders an army to attack the city, how many soldiers and horses do you need?"

"Eight hundred!" Zhou Cang said unequivocally, "As long as the lord trusts XX, with eight hundred troops, Dongguang City will definitely be defeated."

"No, 800 people are too few." Han Zhan shook his head when he heard Zhou Cang's number, and said, "If the city is protected, it will be difficult for this little army to rush into the city. Hou will give you 2000 troops, how long do you think you can capture Dongguang City?"

Zhou Cang thought for a while, and then replied: "If it rains tomorrow, the city can be captured in at most two days. If there is no rain, it may take more time."

"Brother," Han Zhan changed his address to Zhao Yun again because there were no outsiders in the tent, "Do you think it will rain in Dongguang City recently?"

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, and then replied: "This evening is extremely hot and muggy. It must rain tonight, maybe it will be a heavy rain."

"If it's a torrential rain, that part of the city wall might be washed away." Han Zhan heard that there might be rain tonight, so he said impatiently, "Or, we'll attack the city tonight."

"No!" "No!" As soon as Han Zhan's words came out, Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang stopped them at the same time.
