Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 353 We will fight to the death!

Dian Wei was just about to say that at least half of the people could still be left, but was interrupted by Yan Da standing beside him.

"If we continue fighting like this, when Zhao is destroyed, our army will need to return to Qin for training!"

Yan Da looked at everyone with a solemn expression and said.

Ying Jun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the purpose of our trip is not just to destroy the Zhao country!"

"If we just destroyed one Zhao State, why would I bring out Qin's 50-strong army?"

Everyone immediately lowered their heads and stood there with serious faces.

They really thought it was a bit simple!

With the strength of the Qin State, if you want to destroy a Zhao State, you don't need to dispatch so many troops, and you don't even need to consider other countries. You can completely crush the Zhao State with its strength.

Even Yingjun didn't need to fight in person, just a few of them leading the army would be enough to destroy Zhao!
But now in the Battle of Shicheng, as the Qin army continues to attack the city, the army suffers heavy casualties. The morale of the soldiers will also be hit, and they will become war-weary and even panic.

A large part of the Qin army are herdsmen who have returned from the grasslands. Once the morale of the army is low, not only will the casualties increase exponentially, but it will also become more difficult to attack Shicheng, and even though adequate preparations have been made, Preparation, but who can guarantee that those reinforcements will not choose to take a detour?

Dian Wei sighed deeply and looked at Ying Jun with a heavy face: "My lord, wouldn't it be difficult for us to defeat Shicheng?"

If the army continues to fight Zhao Jun like this, then Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun will gradually fall into a bitter battle.

The two of them have now conquered Langmeng and Julu, and they have undoubtedly become Zhao's primary defense targets. Zhao will definitely try every means to repel the Qin armies on both sides.

In this way, the city that has been conquered so hard will also be at risk of being lost.

However, Gai Nie looked at everyone with a calm face and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the general can see the situation so thoroughly. I believe the general can make arrangements freely!"

Although I have only known Yingjun for less than a month, I have great confidence in him.

Yingjun touched his chin and didn't reply. He thought for a moment.

Then he raised his head and looked at the beating candles in the tent. A glimmer of light flashed in his deep eyes, and he said calmly: "That's almost it!"

Yan Da, Dian Wei and others were all stunned when they heard this. They all looked up at Ying Jun, feeling confused in their hearts.

almost?
What's almost?
What does this mean?
While everyone was thinking, Ying Jun raised a smile on his lips, looked around everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the first military order I gave when the army first arrived in Shicheng?"

Yan Da frowned, and after thinking about it in his mind, he said: "General, I remember that the first military order issued by my lord was for the army to surround Shicheng. The purpose was..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Da suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ying Jun with a confused look on his face: "My lord, you mean that after these days of continuous siege, Zhao Guo's food and grass have been almost exhausted?"

Ying Jun nodded slightly, then turned around and walked to the commander's seat to sit down.

As far as he knew, the number of defenders in Shicheng, plus the civilians recruited from various places, was far more than 20.

This army of more than 20 people consumes huge amounts of food and grass every day. Especially after a battle, the army's demand for food and grass becomes even greater.

On the one hand, these people were recruited to fight the Qin army, and on the other hand, they wanted to make a living in the army.

When it came to the pig iron issue, he asked Fan Sui to buy Zhao's grain and grass without hesitation, even at high prices. Now it finally came in handy.

After these days of constant fighting, I believe that Zhao Jun's food and grass have been exhausted. In a few days, there will be a situation of food shortage and food grabbing. Coupled with the news that Julu and Langmeng have been attacked, These can all play a role in affecting military morale.

Although there are still 10,000+ troops in Shicheng, in Yingjun's eyes, these Zhao troops are nothing to worry about!

But even so, he could not continue to fight with these Zhao troops. He wanted to join Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun as soon as possible.

After all, he couldn't guarantee when the armies of Wei and South Korea would arrive!
Thinking of this, Ying Jun looked up at everyone again and said in a deep voice: "We can't delay it any longer. The army must capture Shicheng tomorrow!"

When the other generals standing below heard this, they swallowed hard and said in disbelief: "General... general, will we capture Shicheng tomorrow?" Is the general so sure?

Can Shicheng be captured tomorrow?

You must know that although the enemy has lost a lot of troops, the defenders on the city wall are still very strong. Even if they attack for several days, they may not be able to break through. How can they capture Shicheng tomorrow?
Several Qin army generals looked at each other with horror on their faces. If they hadn't seen the calm expressions of the general, General Yan, Dian Wei and others, they would have screamed in surprise.

Ying Jun looked at everyone with a determined look and said solemnly: "That's right! I must capture Shicheng tomorrow for my commander!"

"Okay, that's it for today. Generals, go back and prepare for the attack on the city tomorrow. Don't slack off!"

Yan Da, Dian Wei and others immediately raised their hands and saluted: "Yes, my lord!"

At this moment, the two of them were extremely excited. After these continuous battles, they had already clearly understood the situation in Shicheng. They even recorded clearly which areas had more defenders and which areas were easier to capture. in mind.

The strength of the Shicheng garrison has been greatly depleted by the army's attack for several days, and now the morale of the army has been greatly damaged. The morale of the army will inevitably be weakened and the strength will be weakened. A fatal blow at this time is the easiest and most effective way to succeed. Method.

Although the other generals still had some doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to ask any more questions and all bowed and left.

next day!

After Yingjun gave the order, the army gathered under the stone city again.

This time, the momentum of the army was even stronger. All the soldiers looked very solemn, and a strong fighting spirit was ignited in the army.

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

"..."

As waves of war drums sounded, the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly with great morale.

Army center!

Yingjun rode a black horse, holding the Overlord Halberd in his hand tightly, listening to the bursts of shouts, his heart was also full of fighting spirit.

Next to him stood Yanyun Shibaqi, Dian Wei, Gai Nie and many other generals.

After the three-way war drums were beaten, Yingjun stared at Shicheng in front of him, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked around at the surrounding generals and said solemnly: "Everyone, today, I swear to destroy Shicheng. !”

"You must do your best to destroy the stone city and directly replace the county!"

Even though the surrounding generals knew yesterday that they were going to break through Shicheng today, when they heard it again now, their hearts were filled with excitement.

Immediately they said in unison with serious faces: "We will fight to the death!"

Yingjun then raised the Overlord Halberd in his hand, pointed forward and shouted: "Beat the drum!"

"attack!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
As war drums sounded, countless soldiers raised their weapons and charged forward with expressionless faces.

At this moment, on the stone city wall!

Countless guards looked at the Qin army that was surging forward again, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Especially those Zhao people who had just been temporarily recruited into the army had a hint of fear in their eyes, and even the hands holding the weapons started to tremble.

wind!
wind!
wind!
Countless Qin troops raised their weapons and marched in neat steps, approaching the city.
