The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 226: Xinzheng offense and defense
Xinzheng City, inside the palace.
At this time, the usual hall of government and government is already densely packed with hundreds of people. These are the usual ministers of Korea, who are in charge of all parts of Korea.
Each of them is like a screw, which is tightly nailed to all parts of Korea, maintaining this dilapidated and crumbling machine in Korea.
"What should I do? What should I do? My South Korea faces the 200,000 army of Qin, what should I do?" In the hall, King Han left his throne at this moment and walked around. Turning his head from time to time, he looked at his minister and asked.
"The king calmed down his anger. The messenger for help had already been dispatched. He rushed to the surrounding countries for 800 miles and sent people to notify the joint-vertical imperial state of the joint-vertical alliance. I think the reinforcements will be soon. Coming!" Hearing King Han's questioning and the deep fear, the Prime Minister opened up and comforted him.
"Does the countries have a reply? When will the reinforcements arrive?" King Han asked quickly when he heard the words of his prime minister.
"Well, the state of Wei next to our country, the king of Wei shied away from saying that the Qin army also sent troops to threaten the state of Wei, the army cannot be lightly tuned, and the army cannot be sent. The Chu Kingdom further south, the king of Chu said, the army is still being mobilized. It is difficult to send troops to support, and we have to wait another month or two for him. But Yanzhao in the north is blocked by the State of Qin in the middle of South Korea. It is difficult to support." When asked by King Han, he choked openly, and then insisted. Scalp said.
"That means there are no reinforcements? You have been doing it for so long just to talk nonsense to the lonely king?" Hearing what his prime minister said, Han Wang was desperate, and then he looked at the open ground with cold eyes.
"It’s not like that, my lord, our Hezongchang, that is, the imperial country in the north, has received our messenger and understands the situation in Korea at this moment. At this time, King Jing, who has met before, is leading 20 Wan Cavalry is going south in the starry night. According to him, after about ten days, he will be able to come to the border between Zhao and Qin, and then he will lead his army to break through and rush to South Korea to support!" Seeing his own king, because his words are right I was very dissatisfied, and quickly explained openly.
"Two hundred thousand cavalry? How long will it take him to support!" Hearing the number of reinforcements, King Han's face was delighted, but then he thought of the distance between the imperial kingdom and the state of Qin in between. A little discouraged.
"My lord, there is only one East County between South Korea and the Kingdom of Zhao, not far away. The defenders of the East County have only a mere 50,000, although there are many, but not many. 200,000 cavalry, although it may be difficult to win the East County, it will take some time. But if you just borrow from the East County and break through the blockade and come to Korea, you can come to Korea at the speed of the cavalry for four or five days!" Listen! To the frustration of his king, as the highest military commander in South Korea, General Ji Wuye also expressed his views.
"Oh, then, according to the general's words, Yuguo’s reinforcements came to Korea in about half a month?" Motivated by Ji Wuye’s words, Han Wang quickly looked at Ji Wuye in surprise. .
"Yes, if there is no major change, half a month, or a few more days? Reinforcements can come to the city of Xinzheng in South Korea!" Nodding heavily, Ji Wuye said affirmatively.
"The general, you said, 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. Very clear.
"For half a month, after these three days of defensive battles in Xinzheng City, I have already lost more than 20,000 people. The whole city can fight with soldiers, but 80,000 soldiers are left." Ji Wuye said. Han Wang feels desperate figures.
"Twenty thousand people died in three days. In the meaning of the general, the remaining 80 thousand people can only stay for twelve days, less than half a month!" After shouting, I felt a moment in my heart. Cold, the dignified South Korean soldiers, occupying the defensive power of the city wall, were even beaten back by the enemy. 100,000 people couldn't even hold on to a strong city for half a month.
"Is South Korea, I'm already so weak!" This was the only thought in King Han's mind at this time.
"It’s not like that, my lord, in the first three days, Qin's morale was very high, and he was not dead in the battle. He was very sharp and naturally had excellent results! But after these first three days, Qin's soldiers felt that That anger was vented, and the fierceness of the war was naturally not as severe as before, and the casualties could be greatly reduced!" Seeing his own king seemed to be frightened by himself, Ji Wuye's heart smiled, only In this way, King Han will understand his importance first, and then he will rise later, and his position in Korea will become more stable.
"What does the general mean? I can keep South Korea for half a month or even longer?" In desperation, when he heard of the life-saving straw, King Han naturally held on tightly.
"That is natural. Yichen estimates that the Qin army’s offensive will definitely slow down in the past few days, not as violent as before. The daily casualties of the soldiers in the city are very likely to drop to two or three thousand. Some people are completely within the scope of my South Korea, enough to support the arrival of reinforcements!" Ji Wuye nodded ~ IndoMTL.com ~ proudly said.
"That's good, that's good, I can keep Saji in Korea, and the ancestral temple is not lost, that's a great good thing!" King Han nodded quickly and said with a look of rejoicing.
In this way, a court meeting ended in several ups and downs.
And King Han, and even the court officials, also in this discussion, slightly strengthened their determination to resist, and some people who had been born with careful thinking 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 not as violent as the previous three days, and it became slower.
People are inert, and they are also passionate about doing things. In the first three days, under the encouragement of their officers, the soldiers of Qin puffed up blood in their hearts and fought hard, not afraid of death.
But after three days, they discovered that South Korea still held the Xinzheng City under their fierce attack.
And it didn't seem to be crumbling, the defense was still firm, and the defenders above the city's head did not decrease. This naturally hit Qin Jun's enthusiasm severely and made them doubt themselves.
What they doubt is naturally not whether they can capture this Xinzheng city, but how long it will take them, and whether they can capture it in a short time.
Some doubts, naturally hesitated. After the war, he also became afraid of death. After being on the battlefield, he naturally didn't work as hard as he did at the beginning.
After all, even though the Qin State pays attention to a farming battle, all status and wealth are related to battle exploits.
But after all, you have to fight for it by yourself, and you have to live to get all the enjoyment.
After death, even if my family can get some good treatment, it has nothing to do with me.
Humanity!
