Three Kingdoms

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

Liu Dai then sent Wang Yu to contact the warlord Bao Xin. After making the decision to attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans from the north and the south, Liu Dai rushed to Jinxiang with the county soldiers from Changyi and defended together with the original garrison.

Ancient cities have always been a nightmare for attackers.

As long as the defenders are determined to fight to the death and have considerable defensive equipment, then the siege battle will become quite brutal. In order to compete for every inch of the city, they will even have to infiltrate it bit by bit with blood and human flesh. Go get it.

It rained heavily.

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

Heavy rain will cause a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and will also cause difficulties in attack and defense. However, there is a combat effectiveness gap between the Yellow Turban soldiers and the regular county soldiers. Now that they are worse, they are actually at odds with the county soldiers. The gap in combat power between soldiers has shortened...

To use a simpler analogy, if heavy rain will cause a 30% combat effectiveness reduction, then before it rains, the Yanzhou County soldiers have a combat effectiveness of 100, while the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans only have a combat effectiveness of 70. The difference is 30, and the Xiazhou Yellow Turbans have a combat effectiveness of 70. After the rain, the county soldiers were left with 70, while the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans had 49, and the gap between the two sides became 21.

And the most important thing is that although Liu Dai's county soldiers still have the advantage, their biggest weapon for defending the city has been taken away by the heavy rain!

The bow cannot be used.

Different from those in later movies and TV shows, bow strings in the Han Dynasty were made of tendons, cotton, hemp and other items, and the bow backs were mostly made of wood glue. Although the bow will not be directly damaged by rain, it can be used with high intensity in heavy rain. , causing the rain to continue to attack the bow strings along the small cracks between the bows, eventually causing the entire bow to be scrapped early...

Hundreds of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, covering the rush cart made of recently felled trees carried by dozens of people in the middle, rushed as far as possible to the doorway under the city wall. The ground was soaked with rain and blood, and every step they stepped on It was all extremely difficult, with bloody mud spraying onto everyone's face, and then being washed back to the ground by the rain.

There are not many rolling logs and stones left in Jinxiang City. The houses closer to the city wall that can be demolished have been demolished, not to mention the arrows. There are not many arrows left. As for kerosene, although the black ones below the city The twisted human body, which was almost like coke, showed that it had achieved extremely good results, but it had also been used up.

Now the only relatively powerful weapon for defending the city is boiling water.

The heavy rain is still pouring.

A dozen large cauldrons were set up in the hastily built straw shed above the city wall. The water mixed with soil and flesh was heated to boiling in the cauldron, and then quickly scooped up by dozens of wooden buckets and rushed towards the city gate. The yellow turban soldiers threw their hoods down on their heads.

Although the rain had reduced the temperature of the boiling water, when buckets of the newly boiled water poured down, the Yellow Turban soldiers below the city were immediately burned to the point of screaming in pain!

The water in the trench outside the city of Jinxiang County has been dug by the Yellow Turban soldiers and all the water has been diverted away. Now there are corpses piled in the trench one after another, including county soldiers, and of course more. The bodies of the Yellow Turban Soldiers, or those of ordinary people, were once upon a time.

Most of these were the people of Yanzhou who were brought here by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. They were used as cannon fodder to consume the defense equipment and died under the city. In the long trench, there were also a few who were lucky enough to be injured and still survived. The person was pressed tightly by the other corpses. He could only stretch out an arm in vain under the corpse, making scratches one after another on the edge of the trench, trying to overturn it or use force to get out. , but no one succeeded. Only the skinny and pale arms were left, grasping in vain towards the sky, and finally fell down, stirring up only a few drops of muddy water.

Guan Hai has already stood very close to the city. Without the bows and arrows to defend the city, he can launch an attack very close to the city. He is wearing an unknown person's armor and there is a huge slash mark on it. , but Guan Hai didn't care, and instead commanded the Yellow Turban soldiers to continuously attack. In addition to setting up ladders and attacking the city gate, he also sent many people to stick under the city wall to dig the foundation of the city wall!

Under the heavy rain, although the city wall is made of blue bricks and stone strips on the outside, it is still made of rammed earth on the inside. Therefore, even if the city gate is blocked and cannot be opened, as long as a section of the wall is dug down, it can still be invaded. In the city!

Liu Dai could lead his soldiers to block the ladders coming up from the Yellow Turbans, and he could also deal with the crude rams under the city gate, but he didn't have much to do with such a completely stupid method, especially those who had already dug through the city wall. The green bricks were dug into the hole in the soil within the city wall, and even boiling water could not be poured into it.

Even so, Guan Hai still forced the Yellow Turban soldiers to drive the people carrying bundles one after another to attack the city. He didn't care how many people died, as long as he exhausted the physical strength of the soldiers in the city and the equipment. Just use it up.

There is no specific estimate of the casualties of the Yellow Turbans these days, but they must have exceeded 5,000 people. Surrounding Jinxiang, under the heavy rain, they have long become like ghosts. The bones exposed by the wounds on the corpses are like ghosts. They looked pale under the wash of the rain, and the flesh and blood of those miserable wounds also lost most of their red color, as if all the blood of these corpses had been sucked out by this terrible battlefield, leaving only some residue. Scum.

This year, when the Qingzhou Yellow Turban swept across Yanzhou, the people who were swept away by the Yellow Turban had basically lost their popularity and sense of life and death, and one by one they seemed to have crawled out of the realm of death. The zombies, numb and stiff, attacked the city under the orders of the Yellow Turban soldiers, climbed up the ladders, and dug through the city walls...

In such troubled times, dying early is a blessing!

Anyway, if you retreat, you will die in the hands of the yellow turban soldiers who supervise the formation. If you go forward to attack the city, you can at least get a piece of black cake less than half the size of a palm from the hands of the soldiers. Mixed with rain and blood, you can fill it up. It’s an extremely withered belly!

"Fight them down, fight them down!"

Liu Dai on the top of the city was already soaked to the skin and his face was pale. He did not expect that after arriving in Jinxiang, it started to rain continuously, and he did not expect that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans actually took advantage of the heavy rain to attack the city with all their strength!

But there is hope!

As long as the reinforcements arrive, the Yellow Turban Army, exhausted in the rain, will never be able to withstand the attack from the rear. At that time, even if the Yellow Turban Army has a large number, it will be useless!

But, Wang Yu, where are these reinforcements now?
