There were endless war drums around Yangshi County, and both the offensive and defensive sides were red-eyed.

The Yellow Turban Army besieging the city desperately rushed to the head of the city along the ladders and other siege equipment. And on the top of the city, they kept smashing down the rolling stones and trees.

The battle was quite tragic from the beginning, and in a moment's effort, under the walls of Yang's County on all sides, it seemed to be a hell of flesh and blood.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed up to kill were hit by heavy objects on the top of the city, and as long as they were hit, their brains immediately flowed, and their heads burst open like watermelons, and the blood was white and mixed, which was blood and brains.

Siege warfare is often extremely cruel, but those Yellow Turban troops can't stop, knowing that they will die for a lifetime, but they must also fight to the death.

They also had no choice, since they were chosen as sappers for the siege, then they could only rush to kill. For behind them there was their leader overseeing the battle, and if they dared to hold back, they would be shot by the archers who oversaw the battle.

Go forward, rush to the head of the city, and take down Yang's County, so that they still have a trace of life.

They want to live, and it's not just that they're motivated, it's that they're really short of food, and if they can't grab enough food, they'll starve to death as well.

It really doesn't feel good to be hungry, so they have to fight.

But who is not afraid of death? The Yellow Turban soldiers were smashed by the heavy objects on the city and fell down with screams, their skin and flesh were open, and blood was flying, and their hearts were also very frightened and panicked.

Especially those who were shot by the bows and arrows on the city and did not die, were smashed by the heavy objects on the city and broke their hands and feet, and were drenched by the boiling soup on the city, these yellow turban soldiers fell to the ground and let out a terrible scream, rolling on the ground and screaming. These tragic situations also stimulated the nerves of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

"Kill! Can't stop! Keep attacking! ”

"The big leader has an order, the first to kill the head of the city will be rewarded with thousands of dollars, 100 catties of grain, 10 catties of meat, and 10 jars of wine!"

"Rush! Seize Yang's County, let the brothers loot for three days, and the things obtained do not need to be handed over! ”

"Don't stop! Attack, attack, attack! ”

Behind the Yellow Turban Army that was besieging the city, some people in the Yellow Turban Army shouted orders, and in order to be able to capture Yang County as soon as possible, they were rewarded for besieging the city. There is money and food, meat and wine, and even, as long as Yang County is captured and let them loot for three days, this means that as long as it is captured, then the money, grain, and women in the city are all theirs.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army, they don't think too much, anyway, they are all dead, there is money and food, wine and women, it is indeed a great incentive for them.

Hearing the shouts from behind, the besieging Yellow Turban Army under the city wall suddenly boosted their morale. shouted loudly, and rushed up the ladder and other objects one after another.

The officers and soldiers at the head of the city were defending the city, and they kept throwing heavy objects outside the city, but compared with the situation below, which was already chaotic, the situation at the head of the city seemed extremely orderly. They didn't mess around, they did what they had to do.

The two of them carried the big sassaga together, and threw it out according to the instructions of the observers and the officers and soldiers.

At this time, they will pay a lot of attention to some details, and often, they will also pay attention to some details, so as to make it easier to defend the city.

You must know that after the Yellow Turban Army began to attack the city, in addition to the men and horses defending the city at the head of the city, the people organized by the government will also start to act, and their actions are mainly to carry a steady stream of rolling stones, sasswoods and other things for the head of the city.

The head of the city is not very wide, and there is not much to pile up and store to defend the city.

After this siege was fought, the consumption of these supplies was enormous.

Let's put it this way, all siege materials have a ration, and they can't be infinite. And the consumption of these materials is also extremely fast.

The materials for defending the city on the head of the city are really gone when they are used up. Then will it be time for the real white-knuckle battle.

Therefore, Yangshi County formulated some guidelines for defending the city early on, so that every soldier involved in the defense of the city remembered that it was necessary.

Throwing rocks, squealwoods, and other objects outside the city wall does not mean that you can just throw them outside the city. If that's the case, it's often a waste of these supplies.

Outside the city wall, the Yellow Turban soldiers who climbed up along the ladder and other objects, they were all human beings, living creatures, they couldn't just look like that and be hit by a heavy object on their heads.

Every soldier who besieges the city, they know that such a siege is to fight with their lives, and they will lose their lives at any time. Therefore, no matter how frightened or excited they are, each one of them will be very nervous, and it will tense their nerves.

It's good for them to be tough and desperately rush up, but at this time, they will definitely keep an eye on the situation above their heads all the time. When something heavy falls on it, they will definitely make a move, which is the instinct to survive.

The city wall is not high, more than ten meters high, and those Yellow Turban soldiers really don't have much room to move and dodge on the ladder. However, in the case of their high mental concentration, in the face of such a life-and-death threat, as long as there is the slightest chance of survival, they will seize it.

It's like dropping a boulder on the top of your head, and if you keep an eye on it, you can dodge it a little. These stones, naturally, are not too big, and they do have enough space to dodge when they stand on the ladder.

There are also those sassal logs, long strips of sash, which seem to be able to sweep the enemy soldiers on the ladder down at once. But in fact, when the wood is thrown from the top of the city, it is very difficult to do it and smash it down against the ladder. What's more, the people on the ladder, they can turn to the other side of the ladder to dodge.

These are actually some details, not every Yellow Turban soldier on the ladder will be hit by the weight on his head.

With so many Yellow Turban soldiers rushing up, there will always be some alert, agile Yellow Turban soldiers who can dodge the smashing of those heavy objects and quickly approach the city.

If this is the case, then the gold juice boiling at the head of the city can come in handy, and against those Yellow Turban soldiers who are agile, climb quickly, and kill quickly to the top of the city, those gold juice is the best weapon to defend the city. All you have to do is splash it down from the top, and you can basically make it impossible for them to dodge.

Therefore, it is necessary to send an observer for every wall on the head of the city.

But again, all the materials for defending the city will be consumed quickly after the battle starts.

It is conceivable that the city wall is more than ten meters high, and those Yellow Turban soldiers climbed up along the ladder, and it only took more than ten breaths.

That is to say, in the time of more than ten breaths, a heavy object had to be smashed on the head of the city, even two or three, which could be rolling stones or sasswood, or something else.

Anyway, make sure to knock down the enemy soldiers on the ladder.

If you continue to fight, then there will be enemy soldiers who will continue to re-ascend the ladder.

So continuously, at this time, the consumption of the city's defense materials will soon be consumed, even if someone keeps moving the city defense materials, but the moved city defense materials are too late to replenish the consumption.

At this time, if the soldiers defending the city can make every stone and every piece of wood play a role, then they can reduce the consumption of materials for defending the city.

The Yellow Turban Army dispatched thousands of people to surround Yangshi County to attack, and this first wave of attacks was quickly defeated.

The soldiers and civilians defending the city in Yangshi County did not give them a chance to climb up, and did not let them kill the city.

After all, this is only the first wave, and the county town of Yang is so well prepared.

On each wall, a thousand Yellow Turban troops attacked, and under their desperate attacks, they returned in vain, with more than half of the casualties. The direct attack made them completely lose the courage to continue the siege.

Under the city wall, there was already a mess, and the big stones and trees thrown down from the city were piled up under the city, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who also fell in a pool of blood were also lying horizontally and vertically.

The death of so many people was extremely tragic, and the blood spread out was disgusting.

More than half of the casualties, the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still alive were still alive, crying for their fathers and mothers, and the Yellow Turban Army finally let the rest of the men and horses retreat.

But they did not stop attacking, and immediately transferred the next group of men and horses, and the war drums rose again to attack the city wall of Yang County.

These Yellow Turban Army are actually cannon fodder.

It was deliberately let them storm and consume the supplies to defend the city.

This is the case in siege warfare in ancient times, there is no reason to speak of, use human lives to consume the materials for defending the city, and wait until the consumption is almost exhausted, and then increase the force to launch a general attack.

The defenders of the city took advantage of the opportunity of the Yellow Turban Army's substitution attack to free up their hands to knock down the siege equipment such as the ladders that were erected on the top of the city. But at this time, it is a little difficult to destroy, although it is knocked down, if it has not been broken, the next wave of siege troops only needs to erect those ladders and other ladders on the top of the city to continue the attack.

The Yellow Turbans launched a total of three waves of attack, with a total of more than 10,000 men and horses.

From the beginning of the afternoon, the attack continued into the evening.

In this way, the materials for defending the city on the head of the city have indeed been consumed, not the head of the city, but the materials for defending the city in the entire Yang County have been consumed.

In the third wave of siege battles of the Yellow Turban Army, there have been many places that have been killed by the Yellow Turban Army's people on the city, but they have been defeated.

If you continue to attack, it will really be the time when the bayonet is red, and it will no longer be so easy to hold the city wall of Yangshi County.

Zhang Niujiao never thought of waiting until the night from the beginning, he resolutely ordered to increase his troops and attack the city overnight.

The Yellow Turban Army marched for a long time, and it was indeed tired, but Zhang Niujiao did not let the Yellow Turban Army set up camp, which was to show his attitude and vow not to give up until he captured Yangshi County.

Yang's County is in danger.

The most fearful thing about defending the city is that the enemy will continue to attack the city regardless of sacrifices, and there are too many enemy soldiers, even if there are heavy casualties, it can still maintain the intensity of the siege, and even strengthen the intensity of the siege.

Moreover, this is still an attack from all sides, and it does not give the defenders a chance to breathe at all. The defenders were also not given a chance to mobilize their men. In the event that the attackers suddenly concentrate more powerful forces to attack one of their walls, it will not be possible to mobilize men and horses to support them.

There were spies in Liulin Village who were hiding among the reeds in Daheze outside the city to observe the situation in Yangshi County, and someone reported to Liu Xian on the situation of Yang's county guarding the city.

After Liu Xian listened to the report, he felt a little bad in his heart. The main reason is that I didn't expect that the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army would continue to besiege Yangshi County, and it seems that the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army is very determined to capture Yangshi County, and it doesn't care about the casualties of its own military horses at all.

This is something that Liu Xian did not expect, mainly because Liu Xian did not expect that the leaders of these Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army did not cherish their men and horses at all, and simply did not regard those Yellow Turban soldiers as human lives.

Siege warfare, knowing that many people will die, but they don't care at all. It's really counterintuitive.

Whoever is replaced, in the face of a well-prepared city defending the city, will not easily drive his own men and horses to death, there is no need, and he will not use his own soldiers as cannon fodder to consume the siege materials of the defenders.

Didn't you see Huangfu Song besieging Quyang City? The imperial court officers and soldiers attacking the city are sieges, but most of them are feints, and they will not easily let the officers and soldiers make senseless sacrifices. There is also Gongsun Zhan who attacked Shimen Pass, and would rather stalemate with Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju there for so long, and he did not launch a real siege battle without fear of casualties.

Liu Xian was indeed a little wrong. The main reason is that they didn't take into account that the real military horses of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro are hundreds of thousands, and their hundreds of thousands of troops are worrying about food. With so many men and horses, but no food to feed, now tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, even if they are all sacrificed in the attack on Yang County, they will not frown or feel heartache. As long as they can capture Yang's County and seize the money and food here, then even if there are many casualties, it will be worth it for them.
