Xinzheng City has reached its current situation and has reached an extremely critical moment.
After half a month of guarding, more than half of the defenders at the top of the city have been exhausted. The thoughts in every soldier's heart at this moment are probably fear and numbness.
The string in their hearts has been stretched to the limit. If they move too violently, they may completely collapse and trigger a large-scale escape.
The reason why they persist without any incident is probably because these soldiers understand that their home is behind them, and the Qin army is surrounding them outside the city. Even if they escape, they will not be able to escape anywhere!
For this reason, although the South Korean army knew that the defenders of the city would suffer heavy casualties, they still managed to hold on.
But this situation cannot last long. If in another ten days or at most ten days, the hope in their hearts, that is, the reinforcements that their king told them, do not appear outside Xinzheng City.
I am afraid that this completely crazy army will undergo an unpredictable change.
…
The Korean army in the city is already like this, so what is the current situation of the Qin State outside the city, which suffered even more casualties due to attacking the tall city
At this time, due to the many days of attacks regardless of losses, the number of casualties in the Qin State was difficult to calculate. All we know is that the military camp that used to stretch for ten miles now only has five miles left.
And the smoke and stove fire that was originally lit was also reduced by half.
The entire Qin army, under these consecutive days of attacks, has actually lost 100,000 of his troops, which is really unbelievable.
You know, since Shang Yang's reform of the Qin army, the originally warlike and bloodthirsty Qin people have become even more crazy.
Their fighting will has long been famous and deeply feared throughout the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.
Now, under the small city of Xinzheng and under the defense of a weak country like South Korea, 100,000 people were injured. This really made everyone in the Qin State, who originally thought that South Korea could be conquered and Xinzheng City could be broken, felt a burst of amazement and disbelief.
It was unbelievable and at the same time even more embarrassing.
This South Korea, because of his persistence, led to the failure of Qin's goal. If he could not conquer South Korea in a short time, how could he deter other countries by defeating South Korea's record.
Without this power to destroy the city and destroy the country, the fear of Qin in the six Shandong countries will be greatly reduced.
They will say, look, a small South Korea is the weakest in the world. With a small city of Xinzheng and a mere 100,000 troops, it was able to withstand the Qin State's attack of 200,000 to 300,000 people for such a long time without falling.
So, is Qin not as powerful as you think
The biggest weakness of the Shandong Six Kingdoms when facing Qin is not that Qin is too strong, but the fear of Qin in the hearts of the Shandong Six Kingdoms. Before they go to the battlefield, they are already afraid of the enemy. Can they expect this kind of army to win any battles?
On the top of the city, looking at the Qin soldiers who were blocking the sky outside the city and rushing towards them like a tidal wave again, King Han asked Ji Wuye beside him.
"General, when will the reinforcements from Yuguo come? Can South Korea really support it until then?" In his tone, King Han was full of fear and anxiety.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Korea will definitely be able to persevere. Your Majesty, please take a closer look. Although the Qin army's offensive outside the city is still fierce, in fact, it has slowed down a lot compared to the past few days!" Ji Wuye shot He patted his chest and assured King Han, and asked King Han to carefully observe the current appearance of the Qin army.
When King Han heard this, he followed his gaze and looked at it carefully.
As a first-class master, King Han, even though he is old, his foundation is still there. Although he is far away from the Qin army, looking at it, he can really see some clues.
Although the enemy troops outside the city in front of them were still surging in momentum, every soldier had a look of exhaustion on their face, and even individual soldiers had a look of fear.
This was an extremely important discovery, which made King Han firm in his determination to resist.
"Yes! Our country, South Korea, will be exhausted by the Qin army's offensive. So as a party attacking the city, wouldn't the Qin army be more tired than South Korea? Even worse?" King Han said in his heart.
With some confidence in his heart, King Han's expression calmed down, and he once again became the majestic King of South Korea.
"General, when will the reinforcements from Yuguo arrive? Where are they already?" King Han turned to Ji Wuye and asked.
"Your Majesty, according to my information, the Yuguo army has arrived in the north of Dongjun and is preparing to break through the only barrier to the south. Presumably, within five or six days, we will be able to see the first Yuguo army outside the city. The army is here!" Ji Wuye looked grave and told the news he had found out.
"It will take another five or six days. We, South Korea, have mobilized the whole country to recruit all the men who can go to the battlefield, and then we have obtained 100,000 troops to defend the city. Now half a month has passed, and most of these 100,000 men have been lost. , there is only a mere 40,000 left today. In five or six days, I am afraid there will not even be 20,000? At that time, South Korea, whose strength has been so severely reduced, is still qualified to join the United Vertical Alliance? Don’t have the ability to survive?” As King Han spoke, his tone became even more angry, as if there was a fire burning in his chest.
Thinking of his own Korea, whose strength was reduced to less than 1/10 of its pre-war strength due to this war, King Han felt a burst of anger and deep fear.
Today's South Korea is just like Zhao State, which has just finished a battle at Changping. Its strength has been greatly reduced, and most of its men have been lost.
No, even today's South Korea is still worse.
Because, after Zhao Guo fought the Battle of Changping, the whole country could still bring out his nearly 200,000 troops.
Although these armies are made up of teenage children and old men in their fifties and sixties, with very few young adults in their twenties and thirties, they are still an army that can kill people and can still be a deterrent to all the countries in the world. .
Just like the Yan State, they wanted to take advantage of the great loss of Zhao State's strength and came to take advantage. They sent an army of hundreds of thousands, but before they could enter Zhao State's territory, they were defeated by the tens of thousands of remnant troops led by Lian Po. He threw away his armor and fled back to Yan State in great embarrassment.
This kind of strength is enough for all the vassal states in the world to take seriously.
As for South Korea, after this battle, he estimated that there were only 20,000 to 30,000 people left in Xinzheng City, and all the men in the city had been recruited.
No, that cannot be said. There are still thousands of his aristocratic children in the city who have not been conscripted to the battlefield, but does King Qin dare to conscript them
These aristocratic children are in charge of all the rights in Korea and are the foundation of King Han's rule over Korea.
Let them go to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Not to mention that doing so will greatly damage the foundation of South Korea's rule and make it difficult to maintain. Just talk about these noble children, and they will not agree to rebel.
