The Wu army who was ambushing Wu Qiangkou had been waiting for three days, and the continuous heavy rain made them miserable.

Because they were going to fight an ambush, Wu Jun's action was carried out quietly. After arriving at Wuqiangkou, they only carried out an ambush on the highlands on both sides of Wuqiangkou. They neither dared to set up camp nor bury pots to make rice.

Wu Jun only brought five days of dry food for each person on this trip. He traveled lightly and without any bulky supplies.

This was of course done for the sake of concealment. In order to launch a surprise attack, Wu Jun could only sleep in the open air without seeing any smoke from cooking stoves or revealing his whereabouts.

If it were a sunny day, the situation would be better, but the heavy rain for several days had soaked the clothes of the Wu army soldiers. From top to bottom, there was almost no dry place. Many soldiers were shivering with cold. At night, even more

There was a lot of wailing, and many soldiers couldn't bear the cold and fell ill and died.

It is not a good sign to reduce the number of troops before fighting, and Zhuge Ke is also frowning.

It stands to reason that Wei Jun's grain transport convoy should have arrived at Wuqiangkou three days ago, but Wu Jun arrived here in advance to ambush, but waited in vain. Until now, not a single figure of Wei Jun has been seen.

No one is sure whether the Wei army's grain team will appear.

"Call Qin Yuan over!" Zhuge Ke ordered in a deep voice.

Soon Qin Yuan was summoned. Compared to Wu Bing, Qin Yuan was even more miserable. Ordinary people had no injuries or pain and couldn't stand being exposed to the rain. However, Qin Yuan had a whip wound on his back that hadn't healed yet and was beaten.

As soon as it rained, the wound worsened, my whole body became feverish, and my head became dizzy.

"What's going on? I didn't say that Wei Jun's grain team would have passed through here three days ago. Why is there still no trace of it yet?" Zhuge Ke asked in a face-to-face manner as soon as they met.

There were soldiers behind him holding a big oil-paper umbrella for him. Zhuge Ke did not get wet from the rain, but the bad weather made Zhuge Ke still depressed. The last time he attacked Anfeng City for revenge, he failed to defeat it after repeated attacks.

, this time an ambush was carried out, and it actually lasted three days in the wind and rain. Hey, why is it so difficult to get revenge?

Qin Yuan also had a grimace on his face. All his information was given by Master Sima. How could he know when the Zhengnan Army would leave? What's more, in such bad weather, the Zhengnan Army didn't know where to hide.

Where is the rain?

"The food team has not arrived for a long time. Maybe it was delayed due to weather. Maybe it will show up if we wait a little longer."

Zhuge Ke was speechless. In fact, he knew very well that in such bad weather, it would be difficult for the grain team and the two cars to move. It would be normal for the grain team to be delayed for three to five days.

The only way for the Wei army to pass through is through a stronghold, so as long as the Wei army's food team appears, it will definitely pass through this place. Zhuge Ke has no doubt about this.

It's just that the dry food brought by Wu Jun has been consumed, and the remaining food and grass are only what is needed on the way back to the army. Therefore, Wu Jun is eager to wait, but still can't wait for news from Wei Jun. Today should be the last limit of Wu Jun's wait.

If they wait any longer, Wu Jun will be in a desperate situation.

The rain finally stopped, but the sky was still very gloomy, with no signs of clearing up.

The Chinese military officer reported the consumption of food and grass to Zhuge Ke. Due to weather conditions, the Wu army's dry food consumption was much greater than expected. Now each person has less than one day's rations on average, and the return trip will take at least two days. Even if

If the Wu army withdraws now, they will have to be hungry for at least a day before they can return to the Guichoujian camp.

Zhuge Ke couldn't help but frown. Originally, sneak attack operations were all about a quick victory. They had been lying in wait here for three days, which was against military common sense. If it hadn't been for continuous heavy rain, this operation might have been a disaster.

Exposed.

Therefore, even if it were not for the food and fodder, Wu Jun would not be able to ambush indefinitely.

Zhuge Ke looked north at the vast Huaihe River Plain. Except for a gray color, he could not see anything alive.

Zhuge Ke let out a long sigh. It seemed that this operation had failed. God forbid, but no matter what, he was about to issue an order to withdraw. At this time, Liu Zan, who was in charge of the patrol, hurried over with a look on his face.

With excitement, he said to Zhuge Ke: "General Zhuge, Wu Qiang accidentally discovered that the Wei army's grain transport team was heading this way."

"What? The Wei army's grain team is here?" Zhuge Ke was overjoyed. He looked up at the sky and felt that his father's heroic spirit was secretly blessing him. Finally, he got what he wanted at the most critical moment.

result.

If Zhuge Ke had withdrawn his troops a moment earlier, missing this opportunity would be something he would regret for the rest of his life.

Zhuge Ke immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for battle according to the predetermined plan, and only waited for his order to launch an attack.

The Wei army's grain team was indeed late in arriving. The heavy rain and muddy roads made the grain transport trucks move slowly.

Zhuge Ke could already clearly see the flags and vehicles of the Wei army, but he suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart and waved his hand to signal the Wu army to ambush, not to let the Wei army discover that there was an ambush in Wuqiangkou. It was still the vanguard of the Wei army.

The army has entered Wuqiang, and the real large force is still lagging behind. If the Wu army launches an attack at this moment, the Wei army will only lose a few leading troops at most. The main force will immediately retreat to the plains, where the Wu army will fight with the Wei army.

If so, you definitely won't get any advantage.

Only by laying out a long line can you catch big fish, so Zhuge Ke did not send troops hastily. He hid behind a bush and watched closely as the Wei army's grain transport convoy passed through the Wuqiang Pass one by one.

This road was obviously used by Wei Jun from time to time, so Wei Jun had no doubt that there was anything unusual here, not to mention that under such bad weather conditions, they seemed to be rushing on their way, but the baggage vehicles were extremely heavy and the road conditions were very poor.

The situation was bad, so Wei Jun's actions were relatively slow.

On the left and right sides of the baggage vehicles were guarding the heavily armed Wei infantry. Zhuge Ke looked around, but there was no sign of the Wei cavalry. He called Qin Yuan over and asked, only to find out that the mountain road was rugged and difficult, so as soon as the conquering army reached the end of the road, there was no trace of it.

Qiangkou, the cavalry of the Xiaoqi Battalion will stay outside the mountain, and the remaining leg of the journey will be escorted by the infantry of the Southern Conquest Army.

To be honest, Zhuge Ke was still a bit wary of the Wei cavalry. During the Battle of Anfeng, he had experienced the power of Xiaoqiying. This time, without the powerful enemy of Xiaoqiying, Zhuge Ke was even more confident.
