If we compare the individual combat capabilities and the bravery of the soldiers, the Jin army is definitely not as good as the Qin army.

But their advantage lies in the fact that they are fortified by city defenses, and they are condescending and unable to retreat.

And the siege battle is undoubtedly the most difficult!

Xuzhou is a huge city, and there are hundreds of thousands of Jin troops. No matter how brave the Qin army is, it is impossible to attack it in just one day.

After the fighting ceased that day, both sides suffered heavy losses.

On the top of the city, Du Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and murmured: "I finally withstood it..."

"General." Not long after, his deputy general came over quickly.

Seeing him, Du Yu immediately asked: "Have all the inspections been completed? What are the losses of our army?"

"This..." the deputy general swallowed and said, "Nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed and more than 3,000 were seriously injured."

"What!?" Du Yu's face changed drastically when he heard this.

You must know that they are the defender of the city and have an absolute advantage. However, in this single battle, there were such heavy casualties, which Du Yu could not accept.

The deputy general said cautiously: "General, from today's battle, it is clear that the Qin army is brave. The other side fights as if they are risking their lives. If this continues, our army... I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."

"Then what can we do!?" Du Yu said angrily, and then said: "Continue to strengthen the city defense! Don't let any slack!"

"yes!"

On the other side, the Qin army camp.

After the First World War, the Qin Army was the one attacking the city, so its losses were no less than those of the Jin Army.

A military civilian officer was also reporting.

After Xiao Yuan heard this, he took a deep breath and said: "This battle was so tragic, which shows how hard our soldiers worked for Qin's march eastward!"

Su Yi said: "Your Majesty, although the Jin army defended in today's battle, our army's ferocious and sharp offensive has completely overwhelmed the Jin army in terms of momentum and made it frightened. In the end, we should continue to attack with force.

, the Jin army must not be given any respite."

"You're right. If you want to fight a vicious battle, then fight him to the end! If Xuzhou is not defeated for a day, and the war continues, the casualties of the soldiers will only become heavier!"

Xiao Yuan said, and immediately said:

"Immediately, Gao Shang's troops, Guan Kui's troops, and He Yi's troops launch a night attack on Xuzhou City!"

"No!" The three generals immediately clasped their fists.

In this fierce battle in Xuzhou, Xiao Yuan divided the Qin army into two echelons and launched a strong attack day and night, making a posture of not giving up until Xuzhou was taken!

Under its sharp offensive, it is conceivable that Xuzhou was somewhat panicked.

night.

The war breaks out again.

Cries of killing filled the entire Xuzhou city wall. In the dark night, flaming arrows were fired back and forth over both sides.

Even though Xuzhou was attacked at night, the battle was even more brutal than during the day.

The miserable howls came one after another without interruption in the middle of the night, causing the people in the city to close their doors and windows and hide in their homes in silence.

Fortunately, Du Yu had already told him to strengthen the city defense. Otherwise, if Xuzhou was caught off guard during the night attack, it would be over!

In the city, Du Yu had fallen asleep before, but when the urgent message came, he was awakened immediately, and he hurriedly put on his armor and rushed to the front line.

Standing on top of the city, looking at the dots of stars, countless torches, and charging roars below, Du Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath and couldn't help but say:

"Is King Qin crazy? Such an attack on the city has never happened before!"

"General... General, the Qin army has never seen such a ferocious fighting style, which our Jin army has never seen before. The morale of our army has been suppressed." The deputy general said in a trembling voice.

"Why are you panicking! Hold on!" Du Yu shouted loudly:

"Generals from all ministries, please come to the front line and command the battle! You must guard your own defense lines!"

Of course, Xuzhou was not defeated in this night attack, but its power was completely defeated by the Qin army.

Although the Jin army is no longer a new recruit, it has never experienced such a fierce battle.

To the old Qin people, this was nothing, but the Jin army undoubtedly began to feel frightened.

When the battle came to dawn, the second echelon of the Qin army withdrew its troops and began to rest and rest.

Then, the first echelon started again!

From the morning of the first day, we fought until night, then until dawn, and then again until night, without stopping.

The Qin army took turns taking turns, fighting more and more fiercely day by day, and its momentum became more and more sharp. It launched a non-stop storming of Xuzhou City.

Almost every one of the more than 200,000 Qin troops went to the battlefield, and those who survived crawled out of the pile of dead.

It can be seen from this that the combat effectiveness of this army will become stronger as it fights.

On the other hand, the Jin army's strength continued to decrease sharply under this kind of offensive, and many of the soldiers below also began to fear the enemy.

This is a kind of suppression of morale and combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for Xuzhou's tall city defenses, Du Yu's troops would have been defeated long ago!

At this time, due to the continuous strong attacks, Du Yu was exhausted from torture. He knew in his heart that the King of Qin was fighting a tough battle with him, face to face! The Jin army could not defeat the Qin army. If this continued, Xuzhou would no longer be able to defeat the Qin army.

Hard to hold on!

This vicious battle lasted for three days and three nights.

On the fourth day, it was still the same.

It's the fifth day.

Qin army camp.

The civilian officer in the army was reporting: "Your Majesty, in yesterday's battle, in the third formation of our infantry, Colonel He Yi died in battle..."

"The fourth infantry formation, two captains died in battle..."

"The sixth formation..."

Xiao Yuan closed his eyes deeply, and when he finished reading, he took a deep breath.

The scene became somewhat silent. How could it be possible to say that there was no disturbance in his heart.

He Yi, he was the one who followed him all the way to the south and north, until he established the Qin State, and made great contributions.

"Your Majesty..." Upon seeing this, all the generals shouted tentatively.

Xiao Yuan raised his hand to stop them, then put away his grief, took a deep breath again, his eyes flashed, and he said in a loud voice:

"Keep fighting!"

The war has reached this level and we must work hard!

The Jin army has become irresistible. The Qin army is fighting hard. Under this kind of offensive, the opponent will only have an even harder time!

From the beginning of this battle to this point, what we fight for is perseverance! What we fight for is determination!

The bitter cold Qin was despised by other countries and still had to resist the Xirong. The Qin people had been looked down upon and ridiculed in other places before. They were regarded as barbaric lands and barbaric people. Now, there is no doubt about their determination to go eastward!

The officers and men above and below are moving forward inexorably, and the more they fight, the more fierce they become!

On the other hand, the Jin army became more and more timid as they fought.

Day six.

The seventh day...

Until the eleventh day.

On the city wall, Du Yu's hair was already disheveled. He grabbed a general by the neck, his eyes widened, and his hair and beard were spread out as he shouted:
Chapter completed!
