The tenth day of the Battle of Shucheng.

Zhaoyang looked at Guo Xin beside him and said: "It's been ten days, and the soldiers inside have no food and grass, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive!" ”

The soldiers who rushed in did not bring food, even if they had food on their bodies, it was enough for three days, but now that they have been fighting fiercely for ten days, it is difficult for most soldiers to survive......

Before Guo Xin could speak, a general from Zhaoyang said: "Your Majesty, what you said is true, but we can't withdraw the army, this is our soldiers, even if they die, we have to go and see the corpse!" ”

Knowing that the soldiers who rushed in could not survive, Zhaoyang still had to fight, because he had to give an explanation to the remaining soldiers.

Because you haven't seen the corpses of the soldiers yet, you ran away like this, and 200,000 people were sacrificed by you in vain, and the soldiers under your command will be chilled.

There will be a mutiny at any time, and if you sell those people today, who can guarantee that you will sell me one day?

After ten days of fierce fighting, the army on Zhaoyang's side was exhausted, but Shucheng still showed no signs of being breached.

And wave after wave of arrow rain came from the direction of Shucheng, at this time Zhaoyang regretted coming to attack Shucheng, and now it is not to advance, nor is it to retreat.

Although Zhaoyang had no intention of retreating, the nobles under him had already had the intention of retreating.

After all, most of the people trapped in Shucheng are your Zhaoyang's legions, not our people, so how much does it have to do with them if they die?

And now there is no sign of Shucheng breaking the city, and now the soldiers are exhausted, and they are only increasing casualties if they continue to fight.

People are waiting for work and fighting you on the city, while you are carrying your tired body and sending you to death.

The state of the soldiers on both sides is not at the same level, and the combat effectiveness is not at the same level.

Although they have the idea of retiring from the army, they can't say it clearly, after all, Zhaoyang is the boss and the leader of the alliance, and they want to withdraw alone, what if they are taken down by Zhaoyang to ask for the guilt?

Zhaoyang looked at the front of him, he also knew that the state of the soldiers was not as good as day by day, and if he continued to fight, maybe the city had not yet been breached, and his side would collapse.

But if he hastily retreats without seeing the corpses of the soldiers in the city, he will definitely be questioned by the soldiers, and as the commander-in-chief, this is to give an explanation to his soldiers.

Although Zhaoyang felt that they were all dead, the problem was that he didn't see the corpses, and the soldiers who followed him didn't see the corpses either......

Zhaoyang looked at his advisor: "Mr. Guo, what should I do?" ”

At this time, he also used an honorific title for Guo Xin, after all, there was only one person he could ask now, Guo Xin.

Guo Xin was silent and said: "Your Majesty, if you continue to fight, you will definitely lose!" ”

"This is Wu Qi's Yang Scheme, if you withdraw from the army, you have to give an explanation to the children of Zhaoguan when you go back, if you don't withdraw from the army, if you continue to fight like this, we will be slowly consumed to death!" Guo Xin looked at Zhaoyang and said.

"Wu Qi, what a despicable villain!" Zhaoyang scolded angrily, but he could only scold Wu Qi, after all, he couldn't do anything but scold Wu Qi.

"Shexiao, retire the army, when we return to Zhaoguan, we will publicize that they were all killed by Wu Qi, but I am afraid that when the time comes, Wu Qi will release them, which is the most worrying!" Guo Xin looked at Zhaoyang and said.

Zhaoyang didn't retreat because he didn't know whether the soldiers inside were dead or alive, how Wu Qi treated them, if they were all dead, it would be better to say something, and when the time came, he could transfer the hatred to Wu Qi's body, but if they were not dead and still alive, he would just abandon them and run away, and when Wu Qi released them, there would be a big chaos in his rear!

"Your Majesty, we can only gamble now, and bet that the soldiers inside are all dead!" Guo Xin looked at Zhaoyang and said.

"How could these 200,000 troops die like this?" Zhaoyang actually didn't believe that these 200,000 people had been killed.

After all, 200,000 people, how can you kill them all? Although there have been battles in history where fewer won more and there was a huge disparity in troops, they were all about defeating the opponent, not killing the opponent.

"Your Majesty, withdraw your troops, if it is consumed, it will be unfavorable to us, and more importantly, those nobles of the coalition army may withdraw their troops without authorization, and at that time, the king's newly obtained position as the leader of the alliance may be shaken!" Guo Xin said to Zhaoyang.

At this time, Cheng Gang was under Shucheng City, and he was also sent to attack, but he did not let people climb the ladder for a long time, in the name of resting.

Of course, the nobles who did this were not only Cheng Gang, because everyone knew that whoever went up the ladder would be sent to death.

The most fierce rush is still Zhaoyang's army, of course, there are some Zhaoyang's affiliated forces, the kind of nobles who rely on Zhaoyang to eat, they are also very brave.

And the kind of aristocrats who follow the trend and act when they see the opportunity, they are all the same as Cheng Gang, twisting and twisting, not playing, even if they play, the number of people dispatched is very small.

"Boss, I can see it now, this fight will be defeated!" One of Cheng Gang's subordinates looked at Cheng Gang and said.

"Looking at the appearance of the soldiers, they are already very tired, and they have to rush up to die, looking at the soldiers on the tower of the city, they are in high spirits, people in these two states are fighting, even if they are fools, they know the result!" This subordinate looked at Cheng Gang and said.

Cheng Gang's men had not received military training, but they also felt that they were now withdrawing their troops.

Cheng Gang was silent for a while: "Do you think this Zhaoyang doesn't want to withdraw his troops?" Most of the people who rushed into the city were his soldiers under Zhaoyang! ”

"But now that the city is being attacked, most of the losses are his people!" Cheng Gang said lightly.

"This Wu Qi is worthy of being a national warrior, this Zhaoyang may be defeated here!! Cheng Gang looked at everyone and said.

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Cheng Gang and said, "How is this possible?" How did this Zhaoyang also bring a million heroes! ”

"One million male divisions, one lost 200,000, although there are millions of male divisions, but they all have their own ghosts, and the power they can exert is not bad to have half of them!" Cheng Gang looked at everyone and said.

"We, when we see the opportunity, we really can't do it, so we disguise ourselves as bandits and flee here, we don't want to die for this Zhaoyang!" Cheng Gang said on the side.

Although Zhaoyang said that he would seal him a city in Fujian or something, Cheng Gang was not uncommon, he felt that this thing was all false, and only life was real!

And Hou Weilong in the city looked at the Zhaoyang coalition army who were not afraid of death, and also sighed: "This Zhaoyang soldier is really respectable and terrifying, they all have the spirit of a soldier who is not afraid of death, they are real soldiers, they are real warriors!" ”

Zhaoyang's coalition army, although physically and mentally exhausted, knew that rushing forward was death, but where was the military order, they still rushed forward one after another!
