Chapter 193
The rain seemed interminable. Last year, Mount Qingniu saw no rainfall. It was as if the heavens decided to add last year's rain quantities to this year. A deluge rushed down the mountains, filling up previously parched streams and rivulets.
The downpour foiled any attempts to attack. The Rong Clan tried to attack in the rain once, but their bows could not shoot, their horses could not run, the catapults barely reached their range, and the soldiers could not open their eyes due to the constant shower. After much struggling, they arrived at the gate of Frog Fort to be met with tumbling logs, boulders, and explosives. They suffered heavy casualties.
Inside the camp, they had to worry about flooding and draining off accumulated rainwater. Tents were frequently toppled by the rainwater, and due to the omnipresent dampness, many people developed bedsores.
