The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 229

[Chapter 226 Xinzheng Offense and Defense]

Xinzheng City, inside the palace.

At this time, the usual government hall was already densely packed with hundreds of people. These were the ministers of South Korea at ordinary times, who were in charge of all parts of South Korea.

Each of them is like a screw, which is tightly fastened to all parts of Korea, keeping the already dilapidated and crumbling machine of Korea going on.

“What should I do? What should I do? What should I do in the face of Qin’s army of 200,000?” In the hall, King Han left his throne at this moment, walking around, turning from time to time. Turning around, looking at his minister, he asked.

“Your anger, your lord has long since dispatched a messenger for help. He has already rushed to the surrounding countries for 800 miles, and he has specially sent someone to notify the co-counselor of this alliance, Yuguo, that reinforcements will come soon!” Hearing King Han’s questioning and deep fear, the prime minister opened his mouth to comfort him.

“Then do the countries have a reply? When will the reinforcements arrive?” King Han asked quickly when he heard the words of his prime minister.

“This, in the State of Wei next to our country, the King of Wei shied away from the State of Wei, who said that the Qin army also sent troops to threaten, the army should not be light-hearted and should not send troops. In the state of Chu in the further south, the King of Chu said that the army was still being mobilized, and it was difficult to send troops to support it. I have to wait for him for another month or two. And Yan Zhao in the north is blocked by Qin State from my South Korea, so it is difficult to support.” After being asked by King Han, he choked openly, and then bit his head and said.

“That means there are no reinforcements? You’ve been talking nonsense to the solitary king for so long?” Hearing his prime minister’s words, King Han was desperate for a while, and then looked at Zhang Kaidi with a cold gaze.

“It’s not like this, Your Majesty, our Hezongchang, the imperial kingdom in the north, has already received our messenger and understands the current situation in South Korea. At this time, King Jing, who I met before, is leading 200,000 cavalry. The starry night is going south. According to what he said, in about ten days, he will be able to reach the border between Zhao and Qin, and then he will lead the army to break through and rush to South Korea to support!” Seeing his king, he was very dissatisfied with himself because of his own words. , Zhang quickly explained.

“200,000 cavalry? How long will it take for him to come to support!” King Han’s face was happy when he heard the number of reinforcements, but then he thought of the distance between Yuguo and him, and that there was still Qin in the middle, and he couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged.

“Your Majesty, there is only one Dongjun between Korea and Zhao, and it’s not far. And the defenders of Dongjun are only a mere 50,000 people, although a lot, but not many. Take Yuguo’s 200,000 cavalry , Although it may be difficult to take down Dongjun, it will take some time. But if you just borrow from Dongjun and break through the blockade to come to South Korea, at the speed of cavalry, you can come in four or five days!” Hearing my king Frustrated, as South Korea’s highest military commander, General Ji Wuye also expressed his views.

“Oh, then in the words of the general, the reinforcements of the Imperial Kingdom will come to Korea in about half a month?” Motivated by Ji Wuye’s words, King Han hurriedly looked at Ji Wuye in surprise.

“That’s right, if there are no major changes, half a month, or a few more days? The reinforcements will be able to come to the city of Xinzheng in South Korea!” Nodding heavily, Ji Wuye said affirmatively.

“The general, you said, can my Xinzheng City guard him for half a month, or longer?” King Han looked at Ji Wuye with anticipation. He is the commander of the army, and he must be very clear about this. .

“For half a month, my Xinzheng City has lost more than 20,000 of his soldiers after the three-day defensive battle. There are only 80,000 soldiers left in the city.” Ji Wuye said something that made King Han feel Desperate numbers.

“20,000 people died in three days. In the general’s sense, the remaining 80,000 people can only stay for 12 days, which is less than half a month!” After shouting, I felt a chill in my heart, The dignified Korean soldiers, occupying the defensive power of the city wall, were even beaten by the enemy and retreated, and 100,000 people could not even hold on to a heroic city for half a month.

“Could it be that I, Korea, have become so weak!” This was the only thought in King Han’s heart at this time.

“It’s not like this, Your Majesty, for the first three days, the morale of the Qin army was high, and the battle was desperate. I’m exhausted, the severity of the war is naturally not as severe as before, and the casualties can be greatly reduced!” Seeing that his own king seemed to be frightened by himself, Ji Wuye’s heart rose with a smile, only in this way, first If you turn back and forth, King Han will understand his importance, and his position in Korea will become more and more stable.

“What does the general mean? Can I stay in Korea for half a month or even longer?” In a desperate situation, when he heard the life-saving straw, King Han naturally grabbed it tightly.

“That’s natural, Yichen estimates that the Qin army’s offensive will definitely be greatly slowed down these few days.

Not as violent as before.

And the daily casualties of the soldiers in the city are very likely to drop to two or three thousand people. These people are completely within the tolerance range of my South Korea, enough to support the arrival of reinforcements!

“That’s good, that’s good, I, Korea, can keep the ancestral temple alive, and the ancestral temple is not lost, that’s a big good thing!” King Han nodded quickly and said with a look of joy.

In this way, a court meeting ended after several ups and downs.

And King Han, and even all the officials in the court, also strengthened their determination to resist a little in this discussion. Some people who were originally born with careful thoughts in their hearts also decided to wait and see again and make 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 lazy, and they pay attention to passion in doing things. In the first three days, under the encouragement of their superiors, the soldiers of the Qin army pumped blood in their hearts, fought desperately, and were not afraid of death.

But three days later, they found that South Korea still defended the Xinzheng City under their fierce attack.

And it doesn’t seem to be shaky, the defense is still stable, and the defenders above the city have not decreased.

This naturally hit Qin Jun’s enthusiasm hard and made them begin to doubt themselves.

What they doubted was not whether they could capture Xinzheng City, but how long it would take them to capture it in a short time.

If you have doubts, you will naturally hesitate, and when you fight, you will become afraid of death.

After all, even though Qin State pays attention to a ploughing battle, all status and wealth are related to military exploits.

But all that, after all, is to be won by oneself, and all the enjoyment can only be obtained by living by oneself.

After death, even if his family can get some good treatment, it has nothing to do with him at all.
