Several rays of lightning streaked across the night sky again, instantly brightening up as day. The clouds are layered on top of each other, and it feels like it's going to rain. Li Zhao was fortunate that only the roaring thunder echoed in the sky, but not a single drop of rain fell to the earth.

Now there are still two hours before the ugly time, the Qi army has just retreated, and it is impossible for the Zhaowu army to send troops now. All Li Zhao can do now is pray that this rain will come later.

Taking off the heavy armor on his body, Li Zhao slowly sat down on the ground and muttered, "Is it up to people to succeed and heaven to plan things?"

The generals in the army stood silently behind him, their faces solemn.

The wind was blowing, and Li Zhao felt a little cool.

In the sky, dark clouds rolled and rushed, coming from all directions, piling up in stacks and stacks, getting denser and denser.

A leaf that flew from nowhere happened to fall on his head.

Li Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, tonight is really lively, with wind and rain.

"Marshal, do you want to start a war in advance? There may be heavy rain tonight, and once the tunnels are clogged with rainwater, our troops will be completely trapped. Song Jun couldn't help but say.

Li Zhao was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "It's not time yet, just wait."

Fan Shuo's face was ashamed, he was digging the tunnel, and he didn't understand how he could dig it like this. Li Zhao knew that this aspect was not his forte, so he didn't blame him.

A bolt of lightning shot straight into the sky like an off-string arrow, drawing a beautiful folded line in the night sky. In an instant, the lightning vanished, the sky became one again, and everything was engulfed in boundless darkness.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and everyone's hair was gradually blown up. As if they didn't notice, everyone still stood quietly.

Noticing that the surrounding atmosphere was a little depressing, Shen Ning said: "Dashuai, in the eyes of the last general, rain is not necessarily a bad thing. First, heavy rain will block the sight of the Qi army, and the sound of thunderstorms can also mask the sound of our army's attack, achieving a surprise effect. Second, Yang Xu was caught off guard and was attacked, and it was even more difficult to command his subordinates in the rain.

Li Zhao smiled, and the others all looked worried, only Shen Ning calmly pointed out the benefits of fighting in the rain.

As the backbone of everyone, Li Zhao cannot be decadent at any time. He exclaimed, "That's a good point, although I don't know if it will rain or not." Even if it is a storm tonight, what can it be? Shi Ai's lone army is less than 20,000, and he can still deter tens of thousands of Qi troops in Shudi, so that they dare not move at all, do you think that you are not as good as Shi Ai. When you win this battle tonight, Ben Shuai will take you to Chengdu.

As soon as they heard the word "Chengdu", the generals immediately boiled with enthusiasm. Since the Shu Qi army did not leave the Sword Gate, Shi Ai was most likely successful. Li Zhao even speculated a few days ago that Shi Ai might have taken Chengdu. Although Nanzheng is good, how can Nanzheng be compared with Chengdu.

What's more, everyone is arrogant, many people think that Shi Ai is okay, and I can do it, and I regret that I didn't go to Shu at the beginning.

Just as everyone was in a strong sense of war, a drop of rain fell on Li Zhao.

Li Zhao sighed to himself, the time to come is finally here, and I don't know if Qi Jingyun can lead the army to arrive in time.

Gradually, one drop, two drops .......... The rain was swift and violent, and before everyone could react, it was already raining heavily in the sky.

A gust of wind howled, merging with the mist produced by the dense rain, and the eyes were white.

The dark and dreary sky seemed to collapse, the wind chased the torrential rain, the torrential rain chased the storm, the wind and rain chased the dark clouds in the sky, and the whole heaven and earth were in the rain.

"Dashuai, it's raining too much, do you want to go into the tent to avoid the rain? Song Jun persuaded.

"Leave me alone, hurry up and see the water seepage in the tunnel?" Li Zhao said urgently.

After a while, Fan Shuo hurried over, "There is no water in the tunnel yet, but it is raining so heavily." It is estimated that it will not be long before the tunnels will be unusable.

"Dashuai, do you want to kill it through the tunnel now?" Yang Zhidao.

Li Zhao kept wiping the rain from his face, decided to take a gamble, gritted his teeth and said, "Since the tunnel has not yet entered the water, let's wait a little longer."

At this time, Liu Haoyan, who was in ambush fifteen miles away, made a quick decision and led his subordinates to brave the torrential rain to move closer to Li Zhao.

When Qi Jingyun first set off, he saw lightning and thunder in the air, and he had a premonition that there would be heavy rain. Knowing that it was difficult to march in the rain, he kept urging his subordinates to speed up. It's a pity that the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and the heavy rain poured down, and the soldiers under his command could only march in the rain.

The road was slippery and muddy, and it was pitch black on rainy nights, and many people fell to the ground while walking.

Qi Jingyun was anxious, and the 20,000 Zhaowu troops under his command were a key force that affected the victory. If he goes late, he will become a sinner of the Zhaowu army, and he will not even have a chance to atone for his sins.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping. Li Zhao's tunnel gradually began to seep water, but fortunately, there is not much water at present, and it is still passable.

Li Zhao was dressed in rain and kept squatting beside the tunnel, and his heart was in his throat. Now there is still half an hour before the ugly hour, if the whole army is chosen to attack at this time, Qi Jingyun will probably not have time to arrive. And Li Zhao can't contact him now, I don't know where he went.

"Marshal Qiqi, General Liu is already two miles away from here, and he can come over at any time. The scout said.

Li Zhao said loudly: "You go and tell him, you don't have to report it again." If you find that I am engaged in a battle with the Qi army, I will immediately lead my troops into the Qi army camp. "

Yes!"

"Sir, the tunnel has begun to seep water. It should not be able to wait for General Qi, and the last general suggested attacking as soon as possible. Yang Zhi said anxiously.

Li Zhao fell into a brief hesitation, that is, he was worried that the tunnel could not be used, and he was worried that there were not enough troops to defeat Yang Xu, resulting in a failure.

"Marshal, I really can't wait any longer, the whole army has been assembled, let's send troops!" Yang Zhi said urgently. A thunderclap sounded in the sky, covering Yang Zhi's voice, and Yang Zhi was helpless and said it loudly again.

"Wait another quarter of an hour!" "

Dashuai!" Song Jun was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Li Zhao angrily rebuked: "Shut up! Ben Shuai has his own plans.

Shen Ning stood in the rain and saw that Li Zhao was slow to move his troops, and secretly said in his heart that the big man had begun to take risks again. Whether Li Zhao can succeed or not, Shen Ning has no bottom in his heart.

In the camp of the Qi army, there were bursts of thunder, and Yang Xu couldn't sleep for a long time, worried that this heavy rain would affect tomorrow's attack.

Yang Xu was uneasy, walked out of the tent with an umbrella, and looked at the Zhaowu army camp in the distance. But visibility was too low on a rainy night to see anything clearly. Yang Xu looked at it for a while, didn't notice anything abnormal, and returned to the tent.

A quarter of an hour had passed, and the water level in the tunnel had reached the bare feet.

"Pass on my military order, and the whole army will immediately pass through the tunnel, kill the Qi army camp, and fight a decisive battle with the Qi army!" Li Zhao finally stopped waiting and was ready to give it a go.
