Xinzheng City, within the palace.
At this time, the usual government hall was already densely packed with hundreds of people. These were the usual ministers of South Korea, who were in charge of all parts of South Korea.
Each of them is like a screw, tightly nailed to all parts of Korea, maintaining the dilapidated and crumbling machine of Korea to continue to operate.
"What should we do? What should we do? What should we, South Korea, do in the face of Qin's 200,000 troops?" In the hall, King Han left his throne at this moment and walked around, turning around from time to time. Turning around, he looked at his minister and asked accusingly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Envoys requesting for help have already been sent out. They have been rushing for eight hundred miles to the surrounding countries. They also specially sent people to notify the Hezongchang Yuguo of this Hezong Alliance. Reinforcements must be coming soon!" After hearing King Han's accusation and deep fear, the prime minister spoke openly and comforted him.
"Will there be any reply from various countries? When will the reinforcements arrive?" King Han asked quickly after hearing his prime minister's words.
"Well, the Wei State next to our country, the King of Wei shied away and said that the Qin army also sent troops to threaten the Wei State. The army cannot be lightly mobilized and cannot send troops. In the Chu State farther south, the King of Chu said that the army is still being mobilized and it is difficult to send troops to support , we have to wait for him for another month or two. And Yanzhao in the north is blocked by the Qin State from South Korea, making it difficult to support." When the King of Han asked this, he choked for a moment, and then said bravely.
"That means there are no reinforcements? You have been doing this for so long just to talk nonsense to the lonely king?" After hearing his prime minister's words, King Han felt despair, and then looked at Kaikai with cold eyes.
"That's not the case, Your Majesty. Our joint commander, that is, the imperial kingdom in the north, has received our messenger and understands the current situation in South Korea. At this time, King Jing, whom he met before, is leading 200,000 cavalry. Zhengxingye went south. According to him, he will be able to reach the border between Zhao and Qin in about ten days. Then he will lead a large army to break through and rush to South Korea to support!" Seeing his own king, he was very dissatisfied with himself because of his words. , explained quickly with openness.
"Two hundred thousand cavalry? How long will it take for him to come to support?" Hearing the number of reinforcements, King Han's face was overjoyed, but then he thought about the distance between the Yu Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
"Your Majesty, there is only Dongjun between South Korea and Zhao, which is not far away. And the defenders of Dongjun only have 50,000 people. Although it is a lot, it is not much. With the 200,000 cavalry of Yuguo, , although it may be difficult and take some time to capture Dongjun. But if we just borrow the road from Dongjun, break through the blockade and come to South Korea, with the speed of the cavalry, it will only take four or five days!" Hearing that his king Frustrated, as South Korea's highest military commander, General Ji Wuye also expressed his views.
"Oh, so according to the general, it will only take about half a month for the reinforcements from the Imperial Kingdom to arrive in South Korea?" Encouraged by Ji Wuye's words, King Han quickly looked at Ji Wuye in surprise.
"That's right, if no major changes happen, half a month, or a few more days? Reinforcements will arrive at Xinzheng City in South Korea!" Ji Wuye said firmly with a heavy nod.
"General, tell me, can Xinzheng City guard him for half a month, or longer?" King Han looked at Ji Wuye expectantly. He is the commander-in-chief of the army, so he must be very aware of these things. .
"In half a month, our Xinzheng City has lost more than 20,000 people after three days of defensive battles. There are only 80,000 soldiers left in the city who can fight." Ji Wuye said something that made King Han feel Desperate numbers.
"Twenty thousand people died in three days. According to the general's wishes, the remaining 80,000 people can only defend for twelve days, less than half a month!" After shouting, I felt a chill in my heart. The dignified Korean soldiers occupied the defensive power of the city wall, but they were beaten back by the enemy. 100,000 people could not even hold on to a powerful city for half a month.
"Have we, Korea, become so weak?" This was the only thought in King Han's mind at this time.
"That's not how it is calculated, Your Majesty. In the first three days, the morale of the Qin army was at its peak. They fought without risking their lives. They were extremely sharp and the results were naturally excellent! But after these first three days, the Qin army's soldiers felt that After being discouraged, the war will naturally not be as brutal as before, and the casualties can be greatly reduced!" Seeing that his king seemed to be frightened by him, Ji Wuye felt a smile in his heart. Only in this way, first Only then will King Han understand his own importance, and his position in South Korea will become more and more stable.
"What does the general mean? Can our country, South Korea, hold on for half a month or even longer?" In the desperate situation, he suddenly heard a life-saving straw, and the King of Han naturally grasped it tightly.
"That's natural. Yi Chen estimates that the Qin army's offensive will definitely slow down greatly in the past few days and will not be as violent as before. And the daily casualties of the soldiers in the city will most likely drop to two or three thousand. Such a number of people, It is completely within the range of what I, South Korea, can bear, enough to support the arrival of reinforcements!" Ji Wuye nodded and said proudly.
"That's good, that's good. If Korea can keep the country and the ancestral temple intact, that's a great thing!" King Han nodded quickly and said happily.
In this way, a court meeting ended with several ups and downs.
The King of Han, and even the ministers in the court, also slightly strengthened their determination to resist during this discussion. Some people who had some small thoughts in their hearts also decided to wait and see before making plans.
Outside the city, the Qin army's offensive was still fierce, but it was no longer as violent as the previous three days and had slowed down.
People are lazy, and they also need to work with passion. In the first three days, under the encouragement of their commanders, Qin's soldiers mustered up the blood in their hearts and fought with all their might, without fear of death.
But three days later, they discovered that South Korea still defended Xinzheng City despite their fierce attack.
And it doesn't seem to be crumbling, the defense is still stable, and the number of defenders on the top of the city has not decreased. This naturally severely dampened Qin Jun's enthusiasm and made them begin to doubt themselves.
What they doubted was naturally not whether they could capture Xinzheng City, but how long it would take them and whether they could capture it in a short time.
Once you have doubts, you will naturally hesitate. When fighting begins, you will also become afraid of death. After you go to the battlefield, you will naturally not be as dedicated as you were at the beginning.
After all, although the Qin State pays attention to farming and warfare, all status and wealth are related to military exploits.
But in the end, you have to fight for everything by yourself, and you have to live to get all the enjoyment.
After death, even if his family can get some good treatment, it has nothing to do with him.
human nature!
