C1985 Final volume

After less than ten days of siege, more than half of the local troops within the Chuan Army had died. Afterwards, Yang Zhao gave orders to the County Head s in various places. Just like before, it was to gather the local army.

In desperation, the government officials could only go door to door to capture strong men. This time, they couldn't even provide proper armors, so they directly sent the strong men to the front lines of the Jinsha City.

The bloody battle of Jinsha City had already lasted for close to a month, and now, they had entered into a strange cycle. The main force of Chuan Country was not directly sent into battle, and had completely turned the local army into cannon fodder in front, which was no longer People of Chuan Country. All the local troops were People of Zhen Country s, and the casualties in battle were basically all from People of Zhen Country.

Yang Zhao had also made up his mind that he would use the People of Zhen Country s to exhaust all the rebel soldiers within the Jinsha City, or at least consume half of them. After that, his army would go all out to suppress them, and like a tornado, he would be able to easily take down the Jinsha City and wipe out all the rebel soldiers.

The battle had become more and more disadvantageous to the Chastity Army, which was led by Li Shu. Although the Chastity Army was able to repel wave after wave of fierce attacks from the Chuan Army every day, they had also suffered from heavy casualties. Today, they had injured one thousand and eight hundred people, and tomorrow, they had sustained more than a thousand casualties.

At this point, Yin Li had already left for more than a month, but he hadn't even seen a shadow of a reinforcements. What was even worse, the food within his Jinsha City had already been severely depleted.

Not knowing how long Yin Li would have to wait before he could come back, Li Shu could only give an order. The entire army controlled the rations, from three meals a day to two meals a day.

The Zhen Jun who was inside the Jinsha City was already gradually feeling the pressure, and similarly, Yang Zhao who was outside the city was also feeling the pressure. Lv You was one of them, but because of the deep friendship between Lv You and Lv You, it would not be easy for them to fight him face to face, so they did not say much. Amongst the generals, the ones who expressed their opposition to Yang Zhao's tactic were Chen Lihua and Chai Song.

During the discussion, the two of them had raised the issue of Yang Zhao's tactics multiple times, and even if he had only used it once or twice, there would be no end to it, furthermore, he had to continue using it.

In regards to the two's objections, Yang Zhao scoffed disdainfully, and in the end, even everyone expressed that Chen Lihua and Chen Lihua were the ones who had the least qualifications to speak about them in front of him. Back then, four hundred thousand people had been beaten down to just a few hundred thousand under their command, and this was not only an insult to their Chuan Army, it was also an insult to their Chuan Country.

As the saying goes, hit someone on the face but not beat them up. Yang Zhao had even criticized and humiliated Chen Lihua and Chai Song in front of the crowd, how could these two stand it. Furthermore, their ranks were all at the same level.

Chen Lihua and Chai Song were extremely furious, if it were not for the fact that all the generals stood out to smooth things over, the two of them would definitely have fought with Yang Zhao in front of the crowd.

After that, Chen Lihua and Chai Song wrote a letter to the imperial government, detailing what Yang Zhao had done to the Jinsha City.

Very quickly, this letter was sent back to the capital of Huajuan, and many ministers who read it felt that it was nothing much. Even if Yang Zhao's methods were a little overboard, after all, this was for the sake of the Generals And Soldiers of Chuan Army s, so it was understandable.

However, after Xiao Xiang read this letter, she became extremely angry and personally wrote a reply to Yang Zhao.

In the reply, Xiao Xiang berated Yang Zhao for disregarding the consequences of his actions. To Zhen Country, they would not flee after the battle, but they would take over, assimilate, and permanently turn Zhen Country into territory of the Chuan Country. They would also need to assimilate the People of Zhen Country into the People of Chuan Country from generation to generation. Now, on the other hand, Yang Zhao was self-righteous enough to force the People of Zhen Country to attack him, causing the People of Zhen Country to kill each other, and even bragged that he was wise. If he continued this action, he believed that before long, the power of Li Shu's forces had not been annihilated, there would be another 'Li Shu' appearing from the Zhen Country, and at that time, when the rebellion starts again, how long will it take for the chaos in Zhen Country to subside?

Even though Yang Zhao had helped Xiao Xiang to ascend the throne, he was not courteous at all when it came to matters that concerned the interests of the entire Chuan Country. The words in the letter were extremely unyielding, and once Yang Zhao was ordered, he had to immediately stop his tactics and return all the People of Zhen Country that he had forcefully recruited, and use the Generals And Soldiers of Chuan Army under his command to attack the Jinsha City.

's attempt to stop it could already be considered timely, but the damage caused by Yang Zhao's tactic was not something that could be healed in a short amount of time.

After receiving Xiao Xiang's letter, Yang Zhao shrunk his neck back after reading it. Even if he had only read the letter and not met Xiao Xiang personally, he could still feel the anger that Xiao Xiang had between the lines of the letter.

Yang Zhao, who had such a fierce and unyielding personality, made a compromise after receiving Xiao Xiang's letter. In accordance to Xiao Xiang's orders, all of them were sent back to the local army.

After the return of the local army, Chuan Army began the real siege. One side was under the assault of four hundred thousand soldiers, while the other side was under the full defense of more than a hundred thousand soldiers.

During this period of over a month, the Chuan Army had attacked the walls of the Jinsha City countless times, and in the end, was pushed down by the Chastity Army countless times. The walls of the Jinsha City had been smashed countless of times, and in the end, they were filled up by the corpses of the warriors from both sides.

After two months of intense battle, the walls of Jinsha City were already riddled with holes, and outside the walls of Jinsha City, corpses were already strewn all over.

Fresh corpses covered the rotting corpses, and then the fresh corpses gradually rotted and were covered by even more fresh corpses. The ground was covered in pitch-black corpse water, and the stench of blood and stench in the air was very evil.

Right now, the Jinsha City was like a huge meat grinder, constantly crushing the soldiers on both sides of the Chuan Country And Zhen Country every day.

At this time of the battle of Jinsha City, regardless if it was Ling Yun or Zhen Jun, both of them were exhausted. The Chuan Country's four hundred thousand army had been reduced to two hundred thousand, and out of the hundred thousand soldiers, only seventy to eighty thousand remained. This was a bloody battle that was worthy of the reputation of heaping up with human flesh.

Compared to Chuan Army, the chaste army that had been trapped in the city for two months was undoubtedly even more difficult. The food in the city had long since been eaten up. The starving Zhen Jun soldiers could only eat people, and the corpses would eat injured soldiers. The wounded soldiers would eat the rest of the people in the city ?

The medicine in the city had already been used up completely. Once the soldiers of the Zhen Jun Army were injured, there was no cure; they could only do some simple bandaging. Those with stronger physiques and better luck might be able to survive; otherwise, they would have to wait for their wounds to become inflamed, for their wounds to rot, and then they would die from blood loss.

Counting the time that Yin Li had left previously, it had already been close to three months. But in these three months, forget about not seeing any sign of reinforcements, Yin Li didn't even manage to send a single message back.

Right now, the majority of the Zhen Jun soldiers no longer had any expectations for Yin Li, they believed that he went to the Chiyue to borrow troops, and that he was a fake.

On the other hand, Li Shu was very stubborn. He firmly believed that Yin Li would never abandon him, and it was definitely because he had been held back by borrowing troops. He believed that with his intelligence, he could persuade Chiyue to bring back reinforcements. Although Li Shu said that, in reality, he also despaired towards Yin Li in his heart.0

However, he could not say that. He had to at least leave a glimmer of hope for the warriors under his command, otherwise, their morale would collapse and they would not be able to withstand the Chuan Army's assault.

Where exactly is Yin Li now? His guess was right, he did not go to the Chiyue at all. Knowing better than to do it, that was not Yin Li's way of doing things.

Previously, Li Shu had already borrowed thirty thousand soldiers and horses from the Chiyue. However, in the battle at the Western Plains, all thirty-thousand soldiers were wiped out. Chiyue had already been loaded with over thirty thousand elite soldiers. If he were to ask others to borrow troops now, no matter what, he would never borrow another Chiyue.

The reason why Yin Li said that he was going to borrow troops from the Chiyue was only to give Li Shu and the rest of the soldiers a hope, and also to find an excuse to leave the Jinsha City. If he were to directly state his intentions, then forget about Li Shu not agreeing, all of the soldiers under him would oppose it.

As time passed, the long and drawn-out battle of Jinsha City entered its fourth month. This was also the most difficult month of the entire battle.

The exhausted soldiers of both sides had run out of energy, and the soldiers of the two sides gritted their teeth as they entered the battle. Because the Chastity Army's defensive weapons had already been exhausted, it was easier for them to attack the walls while the number of close combat battles between the two sides also began to increase rapidly.

To Chuan Army, it was very easy to attack from the top of the city, but it was too difficult to attack from the top of the city. Against the Chastity Army's vicious counterattack, every time they charged up against it, they would be repelled immediately. Usually, after an entire day of fierce fighting, Chuan Army was able to attack the top of the city no less than fifty times, but in the end, they were all forcibly repelled by Chuan Army.

The close combat between the two sides on the city walls did have a benefit for the Chastity Army, which was that their food had become more plentiful. In the following period of time, the walls of Jinsha City were filled with corpses mixed with white bones, and these bones were mixed with corpses.

Of course, their Chuan Army wasn't very good either. It couldn't be said that they were in the ten battalions that were all in the air, or at least in the six or seven empty air. Most of the battalions that were originally built around the city had become air battalions, and the main force was concentrated outside the eastern gate of Jinsha City.

Feeling that the rebel army in the city had reached their limit, Yang Zhao started to plan for the final attack.
