Everyone saw Jiang Sheng retreat from the enemy with a spear, and immediately understood, leaving some people to resist to the death, and then they all went to get wooden sticks, shovels, and pickaxes, and took advantage of the long soldiers to kill and repel the Yellow Turban Army's attacks again and again.

However, the strength of the city was always limited, although the attack of the Yellow Turban Army suffered huge losses, but the victory was due to the large number of people, and the eastern city wall changed hands many times, and was killed and retreated by Jiang Sheng's army.

Seven or eight consecutive attacks had exhausted the defenders, and many soldiers could not even hold their weapons, and sat down on the head of the city panting.

At this time, the siege troops of the Sugu Army began to move towards Bochang County again, and nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban troops came quickly with Pu knives and ladders.

Twenty thousand oil jars were brought to the city, and these people were not soldiers, but the people of the city.

Jiang Sheng said: "The soldiers have the responsibility to defend the land, we will fight to the death and not retreat, all the villagers go home to hide, if we are invincible, unfortunately the city is broken, then please escape from the city and fend for your own livelihood." ”

An old man said: "Lord Taishou divided my land and saved the people from fire and water, but now he encounters a chaotic army, but the sky does not open his eyes!" We are deeply favored by adults, and if we don't repay it at this time, where is our conscience? We swear to live and die with adults! ”

The crowd also shouted, "The people are in the city, and the city is dead!" ”

Jiang Sheng arched his hand and said: "I, Jiang Sheng, can get the help of all the villagers, although I have no regrets in death!" Let's fight to the death with those Yellow Turban rebels! ”

Deng Mao said: "Lord, the enemy has begun to attack the city!" ”

Jiang Sheng hurriedly ran up to the city wall and shouted, "Throw the oil jar!" ”

All the soldiers said: "Throw the oil altar!" ”

Thousands of oil altars were smashed on the ladder, and the tung oil flowed down the ladder, and many oil altars fell directly under the city wall, and there were countless yellow turban soldiers who slipped down the ladder, and they couldn't live.

Jiang Sheng gave an order, and the people at the head of the city threw the lit cloth on the ladder, and suddenly a fire broke out, hundreds of ladders were engulfed in flames, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who climbed on it screamed and jumped off the ladder, and the smell of burnt skin and flesh was filled with the air.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who fell down the ladder ignited the tung oil under the city wall, igniting a raging fire.

After a short time, most of the ladders were also burned, and the attack of the Yellow Turban Army suffered another fiasco, with more than 2,000 dead and wounded.

The people cheered loudly when they saw the Yellow Turban Army retreating, and the soldiers defending the city knew that the Yellow Turban Army had not been killed or wounded, and the endless siege war would continue.

Let's say that Yu Ban and Zhang He attacked the camp of the Zhenggu army from the flank, because Zheng Gu knew that Jiang Sheng's troops were good at stealing the camp, so they especially strengthened the garrison of the camp, Yu Ban and Zhang He did not taste the sweetness, but paid the loss of more than 600 people in vain.

Seeing that there was no hope of attacking the camp, Yu Ban had to lead the army back to the outside of Bochang County to help defend the city.

In the next few days, the Sugu army did not fight, which made Jiang Sheng very worried, the Yellow Turban Army was strong, and the more it did not move, the more unsettling it was.

Jiang Sheng sent hundreds of scouts to inquire about the military situation, but no anomalies were found, and the county seat of Lixian County in the east was heavily defended, and no people came and went, but a large amount of timber was transported into the city.

In the government of Bochang County, Jiang Sheng was holding a military meeting to study what the Zhenggu army was doing, and he couldn't figure it out.

"Lord, after the Yellow Turban captured Lixian, the strength has been expanded, and at present, the Zhenggu Department has 60,000 troops, and we only have more than 10,000, if the Yellow Turban attacks at any cost, our army will be defeated." Yu Ban analyzed.

Deng Mao said: "If you can't do it, then we will steal the camp at night." ”

"When I was in Jizhou, I fought several times, and I knew that I liked to engage in stealing camp tactics, and this time I must defend tightly, and I am afraid it will be difficult to work."

"Then we have to fight to the death!" Zhang He said.

"My lord, there are still several counties in Le'an, and the lower officials think that they don't have to defend one city." Bochang County Lingdao.

"Bochang is a big county in Le'an, if Bochang is lost, what other city can match the defense level of Bochang City?" Jiang Sheng will not give up Bochang, Le'an is his foundation, and Bochang is the foundation of Le'an, if Bochang is lost, Linji will have no danger to defend.

"If you want to keep Bochang and keep Le'an, there is only one feasible strategy." Jiang Sheng said after thinking twice.

Everyone is waiting for the following, is there really a way to defeat the Yellow Turban Army?

"In the past, Zhang Baiqi, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, led the crowd to surrender, and entrusted me to take care of Zhang Ning, and handed over Zhang Ning's eight characters and half of the longevity lock to me.

"The lord must not be in danger, we are all united, and victory or defeat is still unknown." The crowd hurriedly dissuaded.

"Having said that, if you can stop the army without a fight, it's better than everyone fighting with their lives. I have made up my mind, and I will go to see Zhang Ning tomorrow. Jiang Sheng made up his mind.

Everyone tried hard to persuade each other, but Jiang Sheng was unmoved, he didn't want to let the soldiers die in vain.

After dawn on the second day, Jiang Sheng came to the camp of the Zhenggu Army alone, and the Yellow Turban Army hurriedly aimed his bow and arrow at Jiang Sheng.

"I'm Le'an Taishou Jiang Sheng, I want to see your family Qu Shuai, please report on your behalf!"

After listening to the report, he hurriedly went out to answer.

"I'm Zhenggu, Jiang Sheng, why are you here?"

"General Wei, when I was in Jizhou, I was entrusted by your boss Zhang Baiqi to take care of Zhang Jiao's daughter, I don't know if you can lead me to meet her?"

"Humph! Zhang Baiqi is Zhang Baiqi, what does it have to do with me? ”

"General Wei, I'm afraid that there are many people in your old department who are from Zhang Baiqi's sect, let me ask you if you don't miss the old favor so much, aren't you afraid of infighting?"

"My Taiping Dao disciple worships the Holy Maiden as the master, but he is not a believer of Zhang Baiqi, how can I say that there is infighting? You don't have to sow discord here, if you don't dare to fight, come down quickly, this handsome person thinks that you have a lot of benevolence and righteousness to the disciples of Taiping Dao, so as not to kill you! ”

"Hahaha, Zhenggu, I, Jiang Sheng, have been fighting for several years and have not tasted defeat, and you are responsible for the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers under your command. If you want to fight, you will fight, am I Jiang Sheng afraid of you? ”

Jiang Shenghao was angry, and he no longer asked to see Zhang Ning, and left without beating the horse.

Three days later, the army marched in, looking at the posture to take Bochang. After the army moved to the outside of Bochang City, it set up a camp, with 10,000 sword and shield soldiers as the front formation, the archers in the center, and the rear formation carried a large amount of wood and ropes, and was hurriedly assembling something.

Half a day later, Jiang Sheng saw clearly the things in the back of the Yellow Turban Army, the catapult!

When Jiang Sheng got the Taiping Essentials, although the content of the catapult was not recorded in that book, Jiang Sheng was inspired to have the idea of assembling the catapult, but he forgot about it afterwards, and he didn't expect the Yellow Turban Army to assemble the catapult first.

The defenders in the city didn't know what this was, but seeing Jiang Sheng's solemn expression, they knew that trouble was coming.
