The next day, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Su Xuan had already put on his armor. He stood on the chariot and used a telescope to observe the mental state of the Nanyang defenders.
Under the continuous raids by the Qin army throughout the night, the Nanyang defenders all looked tired, with their heads drooped, and were frightened at the slightest sign of trouble.
Hao Gou'er was a soldier in the Nanyang garrison. Looking at the piles of corpses on the top of the city wall that had not yet been cleaned up, his body couldn't stop shaking.
This is not a battlefield, this is hell on earth!
As a veteran soldier, he had experienced countless battles, but had never felt as desperate as he did now.
In the past, the two sides fought with real swords and guns, but today they were facing a meteorite falling from the sky! It was a natural disaster!
When hundreds of huge rocks appeared before our eyes, blocking out the sky.
Resist? How can we resist? Can we resist the meteorite with our bodies?
He clearly remembered that when the huge rocks fell on the city wall, the whole world seemed to stand still. He witnessed with his own eyes his comrades being smashed into meat paste, being pierced into hedgehogs by the broken stones, blood flowing like a river, broken arms and debris everywhere, cries of pain, howls one after another, no one wanted to guard the city wall anymore, they just wanted to escape from this dangerous place!
The soldiers' collapse actually occurred at night. Some wanted to escape, but were all killed by the elite soldiers guarding them.
Hao Gouer didn't want to die, but if he stayed, he didn't know how he could survive.
He looked at the tattered city wall under his feet, thinking that it would be great if the Qin army could just destroy it directly, so that he could take advantage of the chaos to escape to other cities. He even hoped that the Qin army could capture the city in one fell swoop and capture them. Even if they were used as labor, at least they would be alive.
Even ants try to survive, let alone humans? He did not think there was anything wrong with his idea. He was just worried that the Qin army would treat them like Bai Qi did when he buried and killed the surrendered soldiers of Zhao.
"The general has ordered that the entire army should be prepared to break out in half an hour!" A messenger passed by Hao Gou'er. Upon hearing this, Hao Gou'er breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he finally had a chance to survive.
Hao Gou'er was just a microcosm of the countless Nanyang defenders. In fact, most of them were far worse off than he was. The morale of the army was close to collapse, and this was only the first day of the Qin army's siege.
On another city wall, Wei Zhuang was wearing soft armor and holding a shark-tooth sword, his eyes were cold and ruthless. His body was covered with bright red bloodstains, all of which were left by the Qin soldiers he had killed.
He hadn't slept the entire night and his hands were almost numb from chopping, but the damage he caused personally could not affect the overall battle situation at all.
Because the Qin army killed more people than him!
"Last night, our army suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and the Qin army suffered about 2,000 casualties. Although our army's morale is low, the Qin army is outnumbered at the moment. Our army is four times the number of the Qin army, so we may still have a chance of winning. I guess this is the reason why Boss Wei chose to break out at this moment?" Tang Qi frowned and said in a deep voice.
Wei Zhuang nodded expressionlessly. At night, he discovered that the Qin soldiers attacking the city were too far away from the central army tent. It was obvious that the troops were divided into two groups.
One team was resting while the other was responsible for attacking the city. Wei Zhuang looked at the sky and thought that it would be time for the troops to be replaced soon.
His only chance was to launch a surprise attack on the Qin army that had been attacking all night before the change of troops, thereby gaining a chance of victory. Even a small victory would effectively boost morale.
He sighed a little, because he never thought that he would be forced to this point in just one day.
As for leaving some soldiers to stop the enemy and then leading the main force to withdraw, he had naturally thought about it, but it was not advisable, because without his iron-blooded deterrence, the soldiers defending the city would probably collapse in an instant, and when the Qin army caught up, they would inevitably suffer a great defeat.
On the other hand, escaping without a fight is not his style.
His idea was to win a small victory over the Qin army, disrupt its formation, and then retreat in an orderly manner.
The damage was so great in the first confrontation, mostly because of the weapons. Now he had the captured Qin army weapons in his hands, so it was not difficult to make them. As for the giant stone cannon, he could also ask the Mohists, who advocated the concept of universal love and non-aggression, for help. As long as the weapons were not advantageous, they could delay enough time for reinforcements to arrive.
"Boss Wei, aren't you afraid that the Blood-Robed Marquis will surrender to the enemy and betray the country? The White-Armored Soldiers make up as much as half of our total strength." Tang Qi said worriedly.
"He won't do that for now." Wei Zhuang said firmly.
He knew Bai Yifei. He was an extremely ambitious man. Now that South Korea was weak, he was in a high position and controlled half of South Korea's military power. He could almost be said to be omnipotent in South Korea. Even Han Fei had to consider his feelings.
But if he surrendered to Qin, with Qin's powerful strength, it would naturally not need to rely on him, and his status would plummet. How could the arrogant Bai Yifei accept it so easily?
Unless South Korea is already doomed to fail and has no power to resist.
This was something that both of them knew tacitly, and this was also the reason why Wei Zhuang did not take the initiative to deal with Bai Yifei even though he knew the secret letter.
Because the two of them have not yet reached the point of fighting each other.
Tang Qi opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself.
He wondered if Su Xuan's deployment of troops like this was a deliberate attempt to expose flaws in order to encourage the Nanyang defenders to take the initiative in attacking?
He glanced at Wei Zhuang and sighed secretly. How could Boss Wei not think of what he could think of?
Because the current decision is the best choice for our army.
If we drag it on any longer, the army's morale will collapse and we will be doomed.
Boom boom boom!
As the war drums sounded, the Korean soldiers defending the city launched their first attack. However, what they didn't know was that their actions had already been clearly seen by the scouts holding telescopes.
Su Xuan stood on the chariot and saw the Korean soldiers taking the initiative to attack, with a smile on his face.
Brother Wei Zhuang is indeed courageous!
But he would tell Wei Zhuang one thing, that is, under the absolute gap in strength, any resistance would be futile!
shhhhhh!
The two sides fought for the first time and both shot crossbows at each other. The Qin army's crossbows had a longer range and shot down large numbers of the Han army before they got close.
After the defeat in the first battle, the Han army was in disarray and almost on the verge of collapse. One can imagine how low the morale of the Han army was at this moment, and how much they feared the Qin army.
At the critical moment, the elite White Armor Army took over the situation and led the charge. Some threw javelins, some shot crossbows, and some drove chariots recklessly.
For a moment, the Qin army was suppressed.
But these were only 10,000 Qin infantrymen, with another 10,000 golden fire cavalrymen raiding the nearby positions.
When Meng Tian saw the confused Korean soldiers, a sneer appeared on his face.
Today is the day when the Golden Fire Cavalry will become famous!
Wei Zhuang frowned when he saw that the Qin army's 10,000 cavalry vanguard horses were all wearing iron armor.
Is this another new weapon? He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Xiao Zhuang, your opponent today is me." However, before he could think about it, a familiar figure in white blocked his way.
The person who came was his senior brother, Gai Nie.
