During the Qingming Festival, it was raining heavily. A sudden heavy rain interrupted the rhythm of the Bingzhou army's attack. The difficulty of attacking the city in the rain increased by more than ten times. Therefore, the Bingzhou army had no choice but to withdraw temporarily and resume attacking after the weather improved.

This heavy rain also won a little breathing opportunity for the defenders of Xindu. For several consecutive days, the Bingzhou army's offensive was very fierce. In this high-intensity combat atmosphere, the defenders were easily exhausted and tired, and their combat effectiveness would decline to varying degrees. Just looking at the scene of the Jizhou army's exhaustion and paralysis after the Bingzhou army withdrew, Lu Zhao felt scared.

If it weren't for this heavy rain, or if the rain was a little late, it would be a question whether Xindu City could defend it. The Bingzhou Army's crazy attack intensity really made the Jizhou Army unable to bear it. The Bingzhou Army's combat effectiveness was so strong that it also made Lu Zhao feel deeply impressed.

He had been fighting with the Bingzhou Army for several years. Before, Lu Zhao felt the tenacity of the Bingzhou Army at Weize Pass. At that time, Lu Zhao still had a clear advantage in military strength, but he could not do anything to the defenders of Weize Pass and returned in a defeat several times.

Thirty years in Hedong and Thirty years in Hexi, the feng shui has changed. Now the Bingzhou army has become many times stronger than before. The attack and defense of both sides are easy, and Lu Zhao has become the passive side to be beaten. Under the crazy attack of the Bingzhou army, he is in panic all day long.

Once Xindu City is lost, Lu Zhao will be destroyed, so he will defend Xindu City at all costs.

But the attack of the Bingzhou Army brought him endless pressure, which made him almost breathless. The entire Xindu City was surrounded by enemies, and Jiji was in danger. There was a possibility of falling at any time. If it weren't for this rain from the sky, Lu Zhao really didn't know when he could hold on?

Lu Zhao was bathed in this pouring rain and laughed loudly. Even if the rain wet his clothes, he didn't care. For Lu Zhao, this heavy rain was just a timely rain, and it was God's help. Even God was helping him. How could he have the truth to be invincible in this battle?

Yang Hu was a little aggrieved when he retreated. Although the siege was very difficult, the balance of victory was also tilting towards the Bingzhou army. With its outstanding strength, the Bingzhou army was far superior to the Jizhou army in combat. In the long-lasting battle, this advantage was constantly reflected. As long as the Bingzhou army was given a little more time, they would have a chance to capture Xindu City.

But this sudden heavy rain disrupted the combat deployment of Yang Hu and others. Seeing the victory she received, it slipped away silently from her fingers. Although the rain would stop, the Jizhou army, which had won a chance to breathe, would no longer be in a state of fatigue when they fought again, and the Bingzhou army's attack would also be subject to endless resistance.

The battle seemed to have returned to its origin, and time had been ruthlessly squandered. Even if the Bingzhou Army reorganized its strength, it would probably not be able to win the letter in a short time.

The war emphasizes the right time, place, and people, but this time, the time did not seem to be on the side of the Bingzhou Army, which also made the Bingzhou Army look particularly depressed and depressed when retreating.

What's more, no one knows how long this heavy rain will last and when will they restart the battle?

The most difficult thing is that the reinforcements of Sima's army will not delay the arrival of Jizhou due to the impact of the rain, because there is no news yet to prove that it is raining in Luoyang, which will affect Sima's army's marching.

If the reinforcements of Sima's army arrive in Xindu in the next few days, then all the efforts made by the Bingzhou army will be in vain, and the soldiers of the Bingzhou army who were killed will die in vain, and they will also face an extremely unfavorable situation.

The culprit of all this was an unexpected heavy rain. It completely disrupted the offensive plan of the Bingzhou Army and would completely change the result of this siege battle. But God is so willing, who can do what?

The Bingzhou army retreated helplessly to their campsite. The heavy rain in spring made the weather particularly cold. The cold rain poured over his clothes, making the soldiers tremble. When they retreated to the camp, they could at least avoid the cold wind and rain.

After returning to the camp, Yang Hu immediately ordered the kitchen to set up a big pot and boil more ginger soup so that each soldier who had been wet after the rain could drink a bowl. This would relieve their cold symptoms. If they fell ill from the rain, they would really not be able to fight this battle.

"Lord is here!" Just as Yang Hu was busy, suddenly the shouts of personal soldiers came from outside the tent. It turned out that Cao Liang was coming in the rain.

Before Yang Hu could leave the tent to greet him, Cao Liang had already appeared at the door of the tent. The military advisor Huan Fan was accompanied by Cao Liang.

Yang Hu said with a shameless look on his face: "Brother-in-law, I am so ashamed that I disappoint you."

Cao Liang looked calm, smiled and said, "Why, you gave up so soon?"

Yang Hu said helplessly: "It was not difficult to win the letter. Our army has already taken the initiative to attack the city. In less than a day or two, there will be a result. However, suddenly heavy rain fell from the sky, blocking our army's attack. If the heavens do not bless you, the times are not good, what can you do?"

Cao Liang smiled slightly and said, "This matter always has its own two sides. It is a blessing to lose his horse. The Jizhou army is facing heavy rain and celebrating each other. How can we know that there is no greater disaster waiting for them? When you sigh and complain about God's injustice, how can you know that this is not a God-given opportunity?"

"God-given opportunity?" Yang Hu was slightly stunned. The entire Bingzhou army complained repeatedly because of heavy rain in the sky and was blocked from the attack. They were complaining about God's injustice, but Cao Liang said that this was a god-given opportunity. How could it be?

Cao Liang smiled but did not immediately answer Yang Hu's question. Instead, he ordered the generals Du Yu, Ma Long and Qian Hong to invite the central tent of the infantry battalion to attend a temporary meeting.

In order to facilitate the attack, the Bingzhou army has changed its previous camping method. It not only set up two camps in the east and west of Xindu, but also set up four camps outside the four gates of Xindu. Zuoweiying and Xiandengying have camped separately at the north and south gates of Xindu. This not only can it surround Xindu, but also can act as the troops of each camp when launching an attack.

After receiving the call from Cao Liang, Du Yu, Ma Long and Qian Hong immediately went to the camp outside the East Gate in the rain. Although their distance was different, they galloped in the wind and rain and rushed to the camp east of the city in the shortest time.
