But even so, Zhaoyang also felt that this battle would be won, because he had a million male soldiers, and the advantage in numbers gave him a strong self-confidence, and the difference between the million army and Wu Qi's army was ten times, and he felt that this was an irreparable gap. w..

Millions of male teachers go together, even if they spit at the mouth, Zhaoyang feels that they can drown the other party.

Five days later, in the middle of the night, all the coalition forces in Zhaoyang, which had entered Shucheng, were burned to death.

And Zhaoyang outside didn't know what was happening inside, and was still attacking, but the five-day siege had no effect.

Wu Qi walked to the city tower at this time, looked at Zhaoyang, and stretched out his hand: "Archer!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!" Wu Qi gave an order, only to see that the sky lit up with a rain of fire.

Because it was late at night, the flame arrows were particularly bright, and seeing so many arrows rushing towards him, Zhaoyang shouted: "Shield soldiers! ”

Shield soldiers, raise shields, but this arrow rain is particularly large, and many Zhaoyang soldiers have been lost.

Zhaoyang also retreated to the back, and a nobleman ran in front of Zhaoyang: "Your Majesty, we have been fighting fiercely for five days in a row, no, let's withdraw our troops, right?" ”

"Withdraw troops? What about the soldiers in the city? There are still 200,000 troops in the city, are you going to ask me to give them all up? Zhaoyang looked at this nobleman and said.

This is also the situation of why Zhaoyang did not withdraw his troops, generally fighting fiercely for a day and a night, and almost if it could not be broken, it would leave and regain its strength.

But his 200,000 troops have entered the city, and if he withdraws at this time, it will be equivalent to selling these 200,000 troops, and it is very likely that he will be surrendered by the other party and become the strength of the other party.

Zhaoyang didn't know that the 200,000 army had been wiped out, after all, he didn't know anything about what was happening in the city.

The nobles were stunned when they heard this, yes, they can't withdraw their troops at this time, there are still their soldiers in the city.

Because they don't know the situation inside, they can only fight to attack the city and thus get in touch with it.

And Wu Qi in the city is tired of labor, because it doesn't take 100,000 people to defend the city, and only needs a certain number of troops on the city tower, and they are transferred back and forth, and one person fights in shifts a day.

And on the same side, although they have heavy troops, they can't play all of them, they can only use the most ordinary siege methods, and the siege can't use a million heroes.

The million-strong division just gives him a capital that can be consumed for a long time, but the number of people who go to the city to fight is also limited.

You can't all have a hundred people set up a ladder and climb up the tower together.

In this siege battle, Zhaoyang did not have the slightest advantage, and of course he also set up a catapult.

However, the walls of Shucheng are unusually strong, and this catapult does not show much effect, and the point is that the catapult in Zhaoyang can only throw stones. w..

Therefore, the combat effectiveness seems to be minimal, this is mainly due to Zhaoyang's incomplete preparations, and he did not think that this kind of war would break out, requiring a large number of catapults and siege vehicles.

Although many catapults and siege engines were recruited, the catapults were not ready to drop bombs, so they had to bring stones from the mountains to drop them.

Of course, even if he was given a bomb with great lethality, he might not dare to use it, because the price of this kind of thing is very expensive.

Although Zhaoyang was revered as a king by the princes, his resources were still limited after all, and the only resources he could use were those in the eastern part of Zhaoguan.

As for the use of the resources of all the princes of the coalition, this is impossible? The outcome is still unknown, whether you can become the king or not, I don't know yet, these people, it is impossible to put all the pressure on you.

Even if it is all pressed on you, it is still unknown whether this can return to the cost.

Because he couldn't mobilize a lot of resources, this Zhaoyang couldn't afford to use this kind of big killing weapon, and even if he had this kind of big killing weapon, he wouldn't use it here.

Because after breaking through Shucheng, there is still a strong fortress, that is, Yingdu.

After breaking Shucheng, it is to enter the core circle in the center of Chu State, where they are connected to each other, and every battle will be extremely difficult.

Zhaoyang's entry into the inner circle of Chu this time is different from Jiang Ai's entry into the inner circle of Chu at the beginning, when Jiang Ai entered the inner circle, it was the figures of each inner circle who discussed it, so that Xiong Su and Xiong should have a fair fight, and they did not interfere.

Therefore, Jiang Ai can enter the territory of Yingdu so easily, and he can fight a siege battle in Yingdu without external interference.

If Zhaoyang directly enters Yingdu like this, I am afraid that all sides will be sniped, and the grain and grass in the rear will not be safe, he will fall into a very heavy and bitter battle, and Yingdu is also an extremely strong city, and it is also a protracted battle to be attacked.

And the west may also come back to reinforce and support Yingdu, and this war is definitely ten times more difficult than the current one.

Even if there is a big killer and it is used here, what will be done later?

"Your Majesty, we can't afford to consume it at all, and some soldiers haven't eaten for a long time, and they're still fighting on the front line!" A nobleman looked at Zhaoyang Dao.

Zhaoyang was silent for a while: "If the fierce battle lasts for a long time, allow them to evacuate, rest, and fight!" ”

Zhaoyang knew that if the soldiers were to fight to the death and impact in this way, it would be a simple consumption of soldiers, and he had to let some soldiers on the front line retreat, and then rest and recuperate in battle, after all, soldiers could not go into battle on an empty stomach.

And Wu Qi sat on the Taishi chair in the city tower and looked at Hou Weilong beside him: "It won't be long before we can win!" ”

"The other party doesn't know the life or death of the people inside, they will always consume like this, although we don't have much grain and grass in storage, but there is no problem to support it for a few months, not to mention, we will not have problems with logistics this time, and our arsenal has a lot of strong armor and sharp weapons!" Wu Qi looked at Hou Weilong and said.

Wu Qi has already calculated thoroughly, Zhaoyang doesn't know the life or death of the people inside, and he will definitely not withdraw the army, he will always consume like this, and he is not afraid of consumption, because he wants grain and grass in the city, there is grain and grass, and weapons and weapons can fight this protracted war.

As for Zhaoyang's side, although he can't see anything now, the cost of transporting his grain and grass is very high, which Zhaoyang can't afford.

After waiting for a long time, if there is a problem with the grain and grass, he will have to withdraw the army, and when there is a problem with their grain and grass, and the fighting spirit will retreat, it will be the time for him to attack.

Of course, he is not afraid that Zhaoyang can capture this city, it is difficult to capture it by this simple siege method, if it is Qi or Korea, it may be possible to break it, but Zhaoyang can't, because they don't have that kind of large-scale killing weapon.

And the Zhaoyang Legion is not on a rope at all, as long as the time is long, when the casualties are large, there will definitely be internal problems, and it will be more difficult to gather forces to attack the city at that time, it will only be bigger and weaker, not bigger and stronger.
