surnamed Wang

Chapter 265
This night, strange things happened again and again.

The [-] Dynasty Army stationed around the central capital first saw a large swath of dark clouds rolling over the sky, covering the originally bright moonlight. When they lit the torches, the sky suddenly rained heavily that did not belong to this season.

The rain curtain became one piece, not only dousing the torches, but also blocking the already dim sight.

Yan Hanshan, who was in the camp, was restless, feeling that something was going to happen tonight.

"Come on!"

"General, what's the matter?" The adjutant heard the sound and walked into the tent.

"Send more people to guard the granary. I always feel that this rain is strange."

The adjutant was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but he still took the order.

Burning the granary is the most common method of attacking the enemy, but now that it is raining heavily, it is also the most unsuitable time to use this method. Yan Hanshan doesn't know why such absurd idea came into his mind.

Before the order was conveyed, the heavy rain that was originally on the line of water and sky stopped suddenly. Immediately afterwards, a fire was lit in the direction of the granary. Yan Hanshan was shocked, and he really guessed it.

……

After the fire was completely extinguished, more than half of the food and grass had been burned. The other party poured kerosene in advance, and the rain had stopped, so it took a lot of effort to put it out.

Yan Hanshan frowned and looked at the charred grain and grass, his heart was full of horror, the other party entered the granary under the cover of dark clouds and heavy rain, and lit the grain and grass when the rain stopped abruptly, as if he had grasped the secret .

Before leaving, Wang Gingquan told Yan Hanshan that there were strange people in the opponent's army and told him to be careful, but he never expected that the opponent would be so brilliant.

Whether it is possible to time the rain accurately or attract heavy rain, it is not something human can do. If this is the case, how can this battle be fought?
Just when he was in a daze, the voice of his subordinate suddenly came from outside:
"The general is not good, the opponent suddenly opened the city gate and attacked."

Yan Hanshan got up quickly when he heard the words, "Ready to fight."

……

In the city of Zhongdu, Wen Fu, who is now the only Taoist priest in Chuanlu Mansion, stands on the top of the city wall, squinting at the battle below the city.

Because of him, the Chuanlu Mansion suffered a catastrophe. In a rage, the emperor directly removed the Chuanlu Mansion from the Central Plains Taoism, and all the Taoist priests in the sect died as a result.

It has been 300 years since Chuanlu Mansion was founded by the patriarch. Although its background is not as good as Zhengyi, Quanzhen and other big schools, its reputation is not weak at all.

The school majored in talismans. It is said that the Taizu Wang Mu killed too much, causing him to dream of ghosts every night. Finally, he asked for a ghost-suppressing talisman to stick on the beam of the house in the Chuanlu mansion, so that he could be at peace.

As a result, the Chuanlu Mansion has been favored by the royal family. Not only will each generation of head teachers receive purple and gold Taoist robes bestowed by the emperor, but the Ouchi also purchases a large number of talismans from the Chuanlu Mansion every year.

The emperor of the Wang family trusted the Chuanlu Mansion so much, but the other party chose to help the rebels instead, how could the emperor not be chilled.

……

"Master Wen, I'm sorry."

Wang Bingde, who was dressed in black armor, stepped forward and said that the untimely heavy rain just now was caused by this Taoist priest.

This is also the first time Wang Bingde has seen such a scene, no altar is needed, no incense burner is needed, and even a mahogany sword is not used. , The rain stops by itself, it is really a fairy.

Zhou Jiuer, who was on the side, was also amazed. Everyone was a Taoist priest. Although he was very accurate in fortune-telling, if he was to do this, he would not only drive ducks to the shelves, but also drive pigs to trees.

The battle under the city was in full swing at this time, and both sides took out firecrackers. Every time they fired continuously, a row of people would fall down. Although the battlefield still dominated the battlefield, the role of firecrackers should not be underestimated.

Wang Bingde narrowed his eyes at this time, he was only glad that he had intercepted a batch of firecrackers back then, although this kind of behavior was tantamount to making a fuss, but now it seems that everything is very worthwhile, if he didn't have these firecrackers in his hand, even if he had A general like Zhao Hu may not be able to defeat his opponent.

"Wang Bingquan." Wang Bingde suddenly said the name.

It was he who established the armory by himself. This eighth brother could not only create accidents and cause a lot of trouble, but also create a bunch of weird gadgets, but these gadgets are surprisingly easy to use.

Putting aside personal grievances, Wang Bingde has to admit that he is an extremely capable person, and if possible, he does not want to kill him, but, will the other party really submit obediently?
"Wen Daochang, you once said that Wang Gangquan is as powerful as I am, and he will be my biggest obstacle. But this time I went north, I have already shed enough blood. If it is not necessary, I don't want to be brother-in-arms again." Can you, is there any other way?"

The old Taoist narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, stroked his beard slowly, and said in a deep voice after a while:
"If you want the throne to last forever, this person must be killed. If you keep him, it will become a disaster in the future."

Wang Bingde's face was calm when he heard the words, and he didn't continue to ask, but Zhou Jiuer's eyelids twitched when he heard it. He happened to know the eighth prince, and the two of them still had a not-so-deep friendship.

……

The battle under the city has come to an end. Although the Dynasty army responded quickly under the command of Yan Hanshan, the burning of the granary will still affect morale to some extent. The army is still at a disadvantage.

Seeing that the 3 horses were defeated by the opponent's 1 people, Yan Hanshan felt bitter. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of neat horseshoes from the north, and someone pointed to the north and shouted:
"Look, Pengcheng's support has arrived."

Everyone heard the sound and looked to the north, only to see under the bright moonlight, a group of people marching mightily towards this side.

The Pengcheng garrison is only 1000 at full strength, but in today's battle situation, even if only [-] people come, it will be a boost to the team whose morale is almost slackened.

But it would take Pengcheng two days' journey to get here at the fastest, and it has only been less than two hours since the granary was burned. Even if Pengcheng sent reinforcements, it would definitely be impossible to arrive in such a short period of time.

Wang Bingde on the wall in the distance obviously realized this. He looked at the so-called "reinforcements" and said calmly:
"Worthy of being the future flag bearer of the Yan family army, he does have some skills."

Wen Fuding caressed his beard and said with a smile:
"It's just a small trick, and the poor Taoist will break his thoughts."

After finishing speaking, he threw out a piece of yellow talisman paper in his hand, and saw the talisman paper fluttering in the air without any wind, and it floated straight forward. , The dark clouds that had dissipated gathered again.

Zhao Hu, who was directing, raised his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then shouted loudly:
"Tianlei help me!"

Following Zhao Hu's shout, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl fell from the sky, directly hitting a big tree, and the sound shook the sky.

The Wang Dynasty army looked at this scene stupidly, and even stopped the movement of their hands. On the other hand, the morale of the rebel army was unprecedentedly high at this time, and they roared and raised their knives and rushed towards the Wang Dynasty army.

Seeing this, Yan Hanshan sighed. He had been wary of low morale since the granary was burned, and for this reason he specially ordered people to pretend to be reinforcements, but the morale that was finally gathered was smashed to pieces by this thunder.

"Withdraw!"

Seeing that the situation was over, Yan Hanshan had no choice but to give the order to retreat.
