Chapter 179: Unintentional Resistance

At the pass from Beidi County to Xianyang, it has been occupied by the Flying Cavalry.

Night raids and sentinel assassinations are the best.

The 5,000 Flying Cavalry was like a barrier, completely separating the two.

The messengers who asked for help alone were intercepted in three batches!

On the Xianyang side, it is impossible to receive news of a request for help, let alone reinforcements.

Under the siege of 200,000 troops, it has become a lonely city.

For the defenders, the greatest pain was not death in battle.

Instead, being besieged by the other party with absolute superiority but not attacking, this feeling of waiting for death is even more uncomfortable!

There are only a few thousand guards in the county town, how can they stop the army of 200,000.

Waiting for reinforcements to arrive was the only hope for these defenders.

If they knew that it was impossible for Xianyang in the rear to receive the news of asking for help, the 50,000 troops in front had already been defeated and captured.

In addition, there are 150,000 troops on the opposite side who have already divided their troops to capture the subordinate counties, and it is estimated that they will be even more desperate!

I'm afraid that the captain defending the city will be the first to surrender!

Thousands against two hundred thousand, whether they resist or not, the end is already doomed!

Everyone is Qin Jun, there is no need to let the brothers go to death!

What is the chaos and the Qing Jun's side...... It's really going to surrender, and there are a lot of reasons that can be found!

Who made everyone a Qin person?

On the opposite side is the eldest son of the First Emperor, Fusu, the son of Fusu, who is known for his benevolence, and surrendering is not considered a rebellion against Qin, but just a change of camp.

As long as it is not a rebellion against Qin, it is not so difficult to accept psychologically.

However, it was not yet the last moment, and Kamimine did not give the order to surrender.

Even though the captain saw that the dense army outside the city had already planned to surrender, he didn't dare to speak rashly.

After all, even if you want to lead your subordinates to surrender, it is not something that a lieutenant can really decide with a word.

In this garrison, there are still cronies of the county guard and the county lieutenant.

If they follow the peak with an iron heart, they may be killed in the name of rebellion!

The captain stood on the city wall, looking at the neat border military formation, his back already soaked in cold sweat.

Turning his head and ordering: "Order, absolutely no rash action!" ”

Only a few thousand defenders had to face a siege of 200,000 troops.

The lieutenant did not have the confidence to resist, so he could only ask his superiors for instructions.

With such a little defender, if you can block the elite border army on the opposite side, a charge and siege of the city can be regarded as the defender's combat power is bursting!

Although it is not clear why the opponent did not attack despite the absolute advantage, it is already the best result to be able to temporarily stalemate now.

However, those who lead troops to fight know that this stalemate is only temporary.

With an army of 200,000 people, it is a big burden for people to eat horses and chew every day, and it is impossible to stay still outside the city for a long time!

The lieutenant hurried down the tower, and rode his horse towards the official office.

Anyway, the disparity in strength is too great, and it doesn't matter if there is someone in command or not.

In the official office, the county warden and the county lieutenant were urgently discussing with their subordinate officials.

In fact, when the county town was besieged, many people proposed to open the city gate to welcome the eldest son!

Anyway, it's not so hard to accept just changing sides.

"The Captain has arrived!"

Outside the door, there was a sound of proclamation.

Suddenly, the people who were deliberating hurriedly stood up.

It's not to greet them, but they are all too nervous, and they subconsciously stand up to know the news outside the city.

Everyone knows that once the city is attacked, the city will be broken only overnight.

Knowing first-hand information can decide what to do next.

To put it mildly, you can escape one step faster!

"Why are you back?"

"How's it going, is the other side attacking?"

"Is the city broken?"

Suddenly, everyone present opened their mouths to ask.

The captain saluted respectfully and said, "It's still in the middle of the confrontation." ”

"Whew"

In an instant, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no siege, it can be dragged on.

Maybe the next moment reinforcements will come!

The captain looked at the relieved crowd and said in a solemn voice: "However, there should be no reinforcements!" ”

"What!"

Those present were shocked.

The lieutenant didn't wait to ask questions, and explained: "The eldest son personally led an army of 200,000 to besiege the city, and the county town has been besieged like an iron bucket, and the people who sent for help are probably ....... ”

Suddenly, there was silence.

Although I didn't say it explicitly, I could guess what the unfinished words represented later.

I'm afraid, everyone who went to report the news was stopped.

Moreover, even if the messenger arrived in Xianyang, the reinforcements sent by the idea would not arrive in a day or two.

The 150,000-strong army has participated in the counterinsurgency, and Xianyang has no troops to send except for the soldiers and horses guarding the Beijing division.

Even if the 150,000 army returned, it would be ten days and a half months later.

At that time, I am afraid that the graves of those present will begin to grow grass!

Someone whispered: "The only hope is that the 50,000 troops at the county border can detect the abnormality and return in time!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Many people's faces showed a look of approval.

The 50,000 troops at the county border are the last hope!

The captain's face was gloomy and he poured a basin of cold water.

"The other party's 200,000 troops are besieging the city, and it is impossible for such a big movement to go unnoticed! Moreover, it is impossible for the other party to watch 50,000 people behind him! I'm afraid, the army of 50,000 has been destroyed! ”

"Impossible!"

"That's 50,000 people!"

"The day before yesterday, there was a military report from the front that everything was normal!"

"An army of 50,000 can't just disappear silently!"

"Even if it's 50,000 sheep, you can't catch them all in one night!"

The 50,000-strong army was wiped out silently overnight, and no one believed even a military report asking for help.

What's more, the last straw is gone, and I can't accept it for a while.

The captain watched coldly, looked at the flustered superiors, and said in a deep voice: "What if, what if you voted for the eldest son?" ”

duang!

Suddenly, the brains of a group of people were buzzing.

It's not impossible!

Otherwise, how can we explain the silent annihilation of the 50,000-strong army overnight?

If it's Toucheng, then it makes sense.

The lieutenant was silent after the report.

What should be said, what should be hinted at, has already been said.

Even the title was changed from Fusu to the eldest son, in order to eliminate some people's concerns.

The county guard and the county lieutenant glanced at each other and exchanged glances.

The county guard turned his head and asked, "The eldest son's hundreds of thousands of troops are besieging the city, what do you say to do?" ”

After a moment of silence

Someone cautiously said, "Why don't we follow the eldest son too?" ”

……

On the top of a hill five miles outside the field.

Fusu put his hands behind his back and looked down at the neat phalanx below, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

It is still unknown how the combat power of this newly trained new army is, but from the perspective of the military formation, it is more imposing than the defenders in the interior of Great Qin!

Training, there may be casualties.

But only after experiencing the baptism of war can this new army grow rapidly!

Fusu's eyes froze, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Siege!" ”
