Dark clouds were churning in the sky, heavy rain was falling, but in Jinxiang County, it was human flesh boiling in the world, and blood gushing out.

Liu Dai sent Wang Yu to contact the overseer Bao Xin, and after making the decision to attack the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou from the north and south, he rushed to Jinxiang with the county soldiers of Changyi and defended with the original garrison.

Ancient cities have always been a nightmare for attackers.

As long as the defender is determined to fight to the death, and has considerable defensive equipment, then the siege war will become quite tragic, in order to compete for every inch of the city, even with blood and human flesh, little by little, to infiltrate, to obtain.

Rain cats and dogs.

Qingzhou Yellow Turban took advantage of the rain to attack the city, which cannot but be said to be a good move.

Heavy rain will cause a decrease in the combat effectiveness between the soldiers, and it will also lead to difficulties in attack and defense, but there is a gap in combat power between the soldiers of the Yellow Turban and the regular county soldiers, and now it is worse, in fact, the combat power gap between the soldiers and the county soldiers has been shortened......

To use a simple analogy, if heavy rain will cause 30% of the combat effectiveness to decay, then before the rain, the Yanzhou county soldiers are 100 combat power, while the Qingzhou Yellow Turban only has 70 combat power, and the gap is 30, and after the rain, the county soldiers are left with 70, while the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is 49, and the gap between the two sides becomes 21.

And most importantly, although Liu Dai's county soldiers still have the advantage, their biggest weapon to defend the city has been deprived of the heavy rain!

The bow cannot be used.

Different from later films and television, the bowstring of the Han Dynasty was made of tendons, cotton, linen and other items, and the back of the bow was mostly made of wood glue......

Hundreds of Qingzhou yellow scarves, covering the dozens of people in the middle of the tree made of the trees that were cut down not long ago, rushed to the door hole under the city wall as much as possible, the ground has been soaked with rain and blood, every step is extremely difficult, mixed with bloody mud sprayed on everyone's face, and then washed back to the ground by the rain.

There are not many rolling wood and stones on the city of Jinxiang, and the houses that can be demolished within the city walls have been demolished, not to mention the arrows, there are not many arrows left, and as for the fire oil, although the black, charcoal-like twisted human body under the city indicates that it has achieved extremely good results, but it has also been used up.

Now the only powerful weapon left to defend the city is boiling water.

The rain was still pouring down.

A dozen cauldrons were erected in the hastily built grass huts above the city walls, and the water mixed with earth and flesh was heated to a boil in the cauldron before being quickly scooped up by dozens of wooden barrels and splashed on the heads of the Yellow Turban soldiers who stormed the city gates.

Although the rain was reducing the temperature of the boiling water, when the boiling water that had just been boiled was poured down, the Yellow Turban soldiers under the city were immediately scalded and howled!

The water in the trench outside the city of Jinxiang County has been dug a gap by the Yellow Turban soldiers, and all of them have been drained away, and now the corpses piled up in the trench are one after another, there are county soldiers, of course, more of them, are Yellow Turban soldiers, or the corpses of ordinary people.

The vast majority of these are the people of Yanzhou, who were wrapped in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, as cannon fodder to consume the city's defense equipment, and died under the city, and in the long trench, there were also a few lucky people who were injured and did not die, but they were pressed by other corpses, and they could only stretch out an arm in vain under the corpse, scratching one scratch after another on the edge of the trench, trying to overturn or drill out with strength, but no one succeeded, leaving only the thin and pale arm, grabbing in vain towards the sky, In the end, it fell, stirring up only a few drops of muddy water.

Guan Hai has already stood very close to the city, without the bow and arrow to defend the city, he can attack very close to the city, he is wearing a battle armor that I don't know who, and there is a huge slash mark on it, but Guan Hai doesn't care, but directs the Yellow Turban soldiers to attack continuously, in addition to erecting ladders and attacking the city gate, he also sent a lot of people to stick to the city wall to dig the foundation of the city wall!

Under the heavy rain, although the city wall of the city is blue brick and stone on the outside, it is still rammed soil on the inside, so even if the city gate is blocked and cannot be opened, as long as a section of the city wall is dug down, it can still attack the city!

Liu Dai can lead the soldiers to push the ladder that blocks the yellow scarf rack, and he can also deal with the simple rushing car under the city gate, but there are not many ways to do such a completely stupid method, especially the few green bricks that have dug up the city wall, dug into the hole in the soil layer within the city wall, and can't even be watered with boiling water.

Even so, Guan Hai still kept forcing the Yellow Turban soldiers to drive the people who were carrying them up to attack the city in waves, he didn't care how many people died, he just needed to exhaust the physical strength of those soldiers in the city, and the equipment was exhausted.

There is no specific estimate of the casualties of the Yellow Turban these days, but it must have exceeded 5,000 people, surrounding Jinxiang, under the heavy rain, it has already become a ghost, the bones exposed by the wounds of those corpses are washed away by the rain, and those miserable wounds and flesh have also lost most of their red, as if the blood of these corpses has been sucked away by this terrible battlefield, and only some scum remains.

In this year, when the Qingzhou Yellow Turban swept Yanzhou, those people who were carried around were basically lost their popularity and sense of life and death under the destruction of their families, and they were like zombies crawling out of the dead world, numb and stiff under the orders of the Yellow Turban soldiers to attack the city, climb the ladder, and dig up the city wall......

In such troubled times, dying early is not a blessing!

Anyway, retreating is also dead in the hands of the Yellow Turban soldiers who supervise the formation, and if you step forward to attack the city, you can at least get a black cake from the hands of the soldiers that is less than half the size of a palm, mixed with rain and blood, to fill the already withered stomach!

"Knock them down, knock them down!"

Liu Dai at the head of the city was already soaked, his face was pale, he didn't expect that after arriving in Jinxiang, it would start to rain heavily, and he didn't expect that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban would take advantage of the heavy rain to attack the city!

But there is hope!

As long as the reinforcements arrived, the Yellow Turban Army, exhausted in the rain, would definitely not be able to resist the attack from the rear, and at that time, even if the Yellow Turban Army was numerous, it would be useless!

But, Wang Yu, where is this reinforcement now?
