Chapter 32 Both parties are looking forward to more rain

"Is it raining?" Liang Hong touched the water drops on his face and murmured.

At the same time, Liu Hao in Youyang City also saw the spring rain falling outside the house, and sighed, today seems to be another good year with good weather. Then he continued to write furiously on the desk.

"Alas, as a king, I am really frustrated. I lead troops to fight, and I have to review the above table. Who understands my heart, alas." Liu Hao thought silently in his heart.

But it was different for Liang Hong outside the city. He saw the raindrops clattering on the tent, and the crackling sound made his face, which had not smiled for many days, look a little more joyful.

"This rain came just in time!" Liang Hong praised in his heart.

Liang Hong saw that although the rain would have a big impact on the siege, what Liang Guo was worried about now was the heavy oil fire cabinets on the city! The slipperiness caused by the rain would be a big problem in the face of Qin's fire attack.

, looked pale and feeble. Although the current rain could not extinguish the flames spewed from the fierce oil tank, but it would at least reduce the damage, right? As long as the damage could be reduced to a certain extent, he believed that the soldiers of Liang State would be able to capture Youyang.

.

"Hahaha, God help me! Send the order and have the soldiers prepare to attack the city." Liang Hong waved his hand and said to Liang Ji standing aside.

"Yes!" Liang Ji also knew what Liang Hong was so happy about and hurried out to deliver the order.

Soon, the sound of drums came from Liang Jun's camp. Liang Jun's soldiers began to gather.

The Qin soldiers who heard the drums also reported the incident to Liu Hao.

"Huh? You said Liang is going to attack?" Liu Hao asked.

"Yes, your Majesty!" replied the captain patrolling the city.

Liu Hao thought for a moment and realized what Liang Hong's plan was. "Don't you just want to take advantage of the rain and attack the city when the power of the fierce oil fire cabinet weakens? It just so happens that I am also looking forward to the rain. The heavier it rains.

, the sooner you die." Liu Hao has not forgotten the dam he asked Shen Yu to build 20 miles north. This rainy day is also what he hopes for.

"Send the order and have the soldiers go up to the wall to defend!" Liu Hao ordered.

When Liu Hao and Liu Yu came to the city wall, the Liang soldiers below the city were ready to attack.

They were still the same as before, carrying ladders and pushing carts, and headed towards the city wall.

Sergeant Liang still climbed up the city wall as if he was dead. Then the Qin soldiers cut down the city wall with a single blow.

"Salvo! Fire!" Countless arrows were fired from the city again, but because the bow string was in contact with the water, the arrows seemed a little weak.

A soldier named Liang who was climbing slipped and fell backwards, bumping into a soldier behind him. The two of them fell down the ladder together. After their legs trembled for a few times, they died.

The soldiers on both sides were fighting back and forth in the heavy rain, and no one could do anything to the other.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" the golden sound sounded in Liang Jun's camp.

Soon, Sergeant Liang retreated from the city.

"God damn it! It's raining so heavily." Liu Zheng angrily walked into the tower on the city wall and said to Liu Hao.

"Why is Uncle Wang so angry?" Liu Hao said with a smile.

"My lord, you don't know, it's raining so hard that our kerosene tanks and fire oil cabinets can't be used. The soldiers can only follow Liang Jun and fight head-on."

"Uncle Wang, actually, if you think about this matter in reverse, wouldn't it be good?" Liu Hao comforted Liu Zheng and said, "Look, it's raining and our city defense equipment can't be used, but Liang Jun can also climb the ladder very easily."

It's difficult. Besides, soldiers can't just rely on fire oil tanks for defense. They also need the courage to fight the enemy head-on. Otherwise, once we lose the advantage in equipment, the soldiers will be weak.

Shrimp?”

Liu Zheng heard Liu Hao's explanation, thought about it, and felt that he was right. He continued, "I also know that soldiers need to experience war to grow, but the casualties are too great. Today alone, we have suffered casualties

We have killed more than 2,000 soldiers. If we continue like this, we will be dead and wounded in less than a month."

"Uncle Wang, don't worry. According to the heavy rain, it won't take that long. The results will be available in 3 days at most."

"Three days? How is that possible?" Liu Zheng didn't believe it.

"Okay, Uncle Wang, I know this well. Don't worry about it." Liu Hao comforted Liu Zheng. "By the way, Uncle Wang, ask the cooks to make hot soup with ginger and deliver it to the soldiers who are caught in the rain.

Go and drive away the cold."

"Here!"

In Liang Guo's camp, Liang Hong had someone prepare a banquet.

At this time, Liang Hong looked completely different from before. He was drinking wine and looking at the noisy generals in the tent. He felt that the Youyang City could be won in all likelihood.

.

In today's battle, although the Liang Army suffered 34,000 casualties, the casualties to the Qin Army were also considerable. More importantly, the rain made the Qin Army's fire attack useless.

He believes that if he gives me more than ten days, he will definitely be able to capture Youyang. After all, the number of Liang troops is about 2 times greater than that of Qin army. Even with a large number of people, the Qin people can still conquer the city of Youyang.

Bring it down. By then, the entire Qin State will belong to his Liang State. He now hopes that this rain can last as long as possible.

Thinking of this, Liang Hong couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Come, gentlemen, drink up this cup!" Liang Hong said to the generals in the tent in a good mood.

"To the General!"

Twenty miles away from the north of the city, there is a very hidden Qin army camp. This is Shen Yu who was sent by Liu Hao to build the dam. At this time, Shen Yu was sitting in the tent, looking at the heavy rain outside, a little dazed.

"General, do you think it's okay to flood Liang's army?" A guard on the side asked Shen Yu in a low voice.

"It should be possible. After all, it was arranged by the monarch himself." Shen Yu said a little unconfidently.

Shen Yu has never done such a thing before and has no experience. How does he know that Liu Hao's move has been tested on the battlefield in his world? What about Bai Qishui flooding Yan City and Guan Er Ge's flooding?

There are countless Seventh Army and so on.

Therefore, Liu Hao was not worried about this matter at all. But Shen Yu was different. He had never experienced this, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"General, the water level in the dam is almost full!" A Qin soldier who stayed on the dam came in to report.

"So fast?" Shen Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect the river to be full so quickly.

"How many rafts have we built?" Shen Yu asked.

"There are already more than 500 rafts!" the soldier on the side replied.

"Well, in that case, let someone send a signal to the monarch!" Shen Yu stood up and said to the soldiers.

"Here!"

Soon, a flag was raised on the top of the mountain beside Youyang City. When the special person assigned by Liu Hao saw the flag, he immediately reported it to Liu Hao.

"Hahaha! It seems the time is ripe! Uncle Wang!" Liu Hao laughed.

"I'm here!" Liu Zheng looked solemn and stepped forward to answer.

"Uncle Wang, have people quickly block the city gate with sand and stones. Send an order to the whole army, get on the higher ground and be careful of the flood!"
