Zheng Hongtao was so hot that he took off his upper body clothes.
"Your Majesty, can you really make it rain?"
If An Jingzhi said that he was praying for rain from the sky, he would not have asked this question, but An Jingzhi said with inexplicable confidence - let it rain.
Thinking about it now, I still feel a shock in my heart.
That kind of natural dominance seems to be the way it should be.
Looking at An Jingzhi who was standing calmly by the side and observing the clouds in the sky from time to time, Wei Wenhua opened his mouth, but was not sure.
An Jingzhi's calmness gradually calmed the panicked people.
This kind of calmness was able to infect everyone present. Knowing that Lucheng was about to be broken and they could immediately rush into Wujiang City, everyone was no longer panicking. They followed An Jingzhi's instructions in an orderly manner and ignited various combustible materials.
"Maybe." Wei Wenhua looked up at the billowing smoke.
There were still many people in Wujiang City who had been moved in from outside the city. They were looking at the thick smoke billowing from the direction of the palace, and everyone was terrified.
Before they could do anything, someone on horseback was spreading the news all over the city.
"Your Majesty and the court officials, at Linxiantai, order rain! Lift the siege of Lucheng!"
"Your Majesty and the court officials, at Linxiantai, order rain! Lift the siege of Lucheng!"
"Your Majesty and the court officials, at Linxiantai, order rain! Lift the siege of Lucheng!"
After shouting three times, the man on horseback finally became quieter and quieter.
"What's going on? Your Majesty, are you going to make it rain?"
"What can rain do? Can it scare away the enemy?" asked someone who didn't understand.
"The water level of the Qilin River is rising day by day. If it rains, the Qilin River may burst its banks. Then there will definitely be a flood outside Lucheng. The enemy attacking the city will be forced to retreat, and our Wujiang will be saved!"
"What? That would be great!"
"How could such a good thing happen? The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, is the Son of Heaven. How can a son give orders to his father?"
The prince cannot go out, but the advisers around him can go out to inquire about the news.
Seeing that the enemy was about to reach his doorstep, some of the people around him who wanted to take advantage of the situation ran away.
But fortunately, there are still people willing to bet on him and stay.
Even if Wujiang City is destroyed, there are still other cities that can continue to develop.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has no intention of evacuating. Everyone who can escape from Wujiang City has already fled, and the people outside the city have all moved inside. All checkpoints are currently sealed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Won't the emperor evacuate? What about the harem? Is there no one leaving the harem?" the prince asked anxiously.
"No one. Some people asked to leave, but His Majesty flatly refused, unless they left the harem."
"What?" the prince asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty means that if you want to evacuate Wujiang, you must leave the harem and give up your status as a concubine."
"Father," the prince stared blankly ahead, "what on earth do you want to do?"
…
Lucheng, looking at the broken city gate, seeing that they were about to attack the city, the enemy general who suffered heavy losses laughed heartily.
"Without reinforcements, Lucheng can no longer be defended. God bless our lord!"
"Brothers! Wealth and glory only come today! Whoever reaches the city wall first will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"
The already exhausted enemy troops were stimulated and suddenly felt a surge of strength in their hearts, pushing forward regardless of the consequences.
They thought that the first checkpoint of Wujiang City, Epiphyllum City, would be a tough battle, but it fell into their hands so easily.
The enemy army was almost driven into depression by the thought that Lucheng was vulnerable.
"Kill!" Ding Shangbiao looked at the city gate that was about to break through and rushed forward desperately.
“Boom!”
When the two armies were about to decide the winner, muffled sounds suddenly came from the sky.
Before they could react, the next second, crackling raindrops instantly fell on their faces.
"It's raining." Wiping the rain off his face, Ding Shangbiao smiled calmly, "It seems that God is seeing me off."
"No!" He reacted instantly. It was raining. Would the Qilin River burst its banks?
"Hahahaha!" He laughed loudly, looking up to the sky. Just when everyone was wondering if he had gone crazy, he said, "Brothers, it's raining! Lucheng will be flooded and defeat the enemy. We just need to hold on for a while longer!"
Upon hearing that the situation was taking a turn for the better, the Lucheng soldiers, who had originally been determined to die, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope and tried their best to drive away the enemies who wanted to break into the city gate and climb up the city wall.
There were so many clouds in the sky that the rain came quickly and heavily.
"There's a flood!"
Everything happened too suddenly. The rain just started and immediately became very heavy. Ding Shangbiao had just finished speaking when his voice could not be carried far because of the heavy rain. Before it could reach the entire army, the enemy's screams were heard outside.
"Everyone, run! There's a flood!"
"Gather the soldiers! No running around!"
The enemy general roared in dismay. There was heavy rain, thunder and lightning, and the threat of death from floods. His words were pale and powerless. The soldiers could only flee to higher places and had no ability to attack the city.
"We held it!"
“We won!”
"Hahaha! We won!"
Looking at the enemy troops running around like headless flies outside the city wall, the surviving soldiers on their side were partying wildly under the heavy rain.
Ding Shangbiao came back to his senses and shouted, "Quickly block the city gate!"
Linxiantai.
Wei Wenhua stretched out his hand blankly to catch the rain from the sky. He caught a small handful of rain and put it in front of his eyes. He blinked, as if the scene before him was all an illusion.
“It’s really raining…”
"It's raining, Sir Wei..." Zheng Hongtao was also shocked and his mind went blank.
Gao Lizhong was finally woken up by the sound of falling raindrops hitting his face.
With a thud, he knelt on his knees, banged his head on the ground, and said loudly: "God bless your majesty, your majesty is wise!"
Hearing his voice, the others finally reacted and bowed collectively, saying in unison: "God bless your majesty, your majesty is wise!"
Your Majesty must be the true Son of Heaven, and the world is destined to be unified in your hands!
All those who witnessed this rain-praying ceremony thought the same thing in their hearts.
"Get up." Wujiang City is located on a plain and too far away from the sky. This is why he asked Gao Lizhong to build Linxiantai higher and higher as soon as possible at all costs.
Artificial rainfall requires the right time, place and people. Everything else is fine, and the right place and people can be created by ourselves, but we have to wait for the right time, until the clouds in the sky accumulate enough for a heavy rain.
After using various formulas to deduce and confirm the success rate, An Jingzhi decided to use artificial rainfall as the last resort.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I guess the crisis in Lucheng has been resolved.
Before long, there will probably be a small flood outside Wujiang City. Fortunately, he has sent people in advance to gather the people outside the city into the city.
As for the food problem, we can only temporarily transfer some from various sources to deal with the emergency.
