Chapter 336: Fighting for Survival
Bloody battle.
The corpses of the fallen in the previous round of battle had just been pulled away, dark red blood coagulated on the mottled city walls, and there were pitted remnants everywhere, but the banner at the head of the city had been transformed into a large word "wisdom", half-drooping in the breeze, occasionally rolling up and quickly hanging down again.
The bloodstained stains made the whole flag unusually heavy, and the atmosphere on the battlefield was even more oppressive and terrifying.
The walls were like a badly wounded monster that, after devouring a number of fresh lives, once again revealed its blood-colored claws.
The only difference is that in the blink of an eye, the three allied forces that originally attacked the city, the most ferocious one became the defender, and the other two replaced the original position of the Zhi army, and the strength and intensity of the attack were not inferior to when the Zhi clan attacked Zhao Xiangzi.
The same destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, Zhao Xiangzi's failure is better on the battlefield, since ancient times, the loser does not deserve anything, the defeated Zhao Xiangzi will have sympathy, but no one will not be worthless, after all, he once fought for this until the last moment.
Han Wei is different, the three alliances sent troops together, maybe the two families had some reservations, but the Zhi clan suddenly didn't pay attention to the rules at all, and didn't want any face from the nobles, and directly stabbed into the hearts of the two families from behind, and forcibly uprooted the local forces of the two families, and many family children and vassals lost everything without any defense.
Shamelessness is no longer enough to describe, this is not a betrayal of the Han and Wei families, it is a naked challenge to the entire aristocratic class, with this means, the Zhi clan has successfully insulted everyone, more hateful than the barbarians of the Chu State who shouted "I am a barbarian".
From now on, there will never be any alliance rules to talk about, and this rule has been broken the moment the Zhi clan stretched out his butcher's knife. Just like King Chu Huai, who was plundered by King Qin at the end, the rules on this covenant were originally broken by the Chu State itself, and King Chu Cheng took advantage of the alliance to detain Song Xianggong, so he should have thought that his descendants would also have such a day.
Han Wei has his own special news channels. After Lao Ba broke through Han Kangzi's first important town, the main situation on the battlefield was reversed, and Han Wei, who was busy seizing Zhao Xiangzi's inheritance, immediately woke up from the hostile state, and found that Jinyang City behind him had once again become a nail stuck in the retreat of the army.
A nail that must not be mended, and bleeding must be removed if it is gnashed and bled out.
Although Zhao Gao retained only 3,000 people with complete combat strength, there were still 3,000 remnants with at least half of the combat effectiveness, and the materials had been fully replenished in the past period of time, enough to support this army for three months, as for the problem after March, there was no need to consider it, Han Wei could not support it at that time.
At present, there is a more fatal point, in order to occupy as many interests as possible and carve up more peaches in the early stage, Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi divided their armies into several branches to obtain the field, in order to get more military merits, these people can run as far as they can, and they are even more ruthless in looting, up to the officer centurion, down to every soldier is full of harvest, how can it be so easy for them to spit out what they eat in their mouths?
What's more, looting is also an extremely energy-consuming thing, and having floating wealth is a taboo for the army, after all, who is willing to really sell his life with money, and it is serious to survive honestly and buy a few acres of land to marry a mother-in-law to continue the incense, if he dies on the battlefield, these desperately robbed goods are just cheaper for nothing.
Zhao Gao's situation is different, the soldiers under his command also looted Jinyang City, and now Han Wei is attacking, and he has to fight hard to defend his property, not to mention that for a period of time, only the soldiers under Zhao Gao's constraints have gained a lot of time to rest.
Obviously, while the will of the plot world was abandoned, the ark space still played a little role, Zhao Gao successfully obtained the right time and place in the way of waiting for work, Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi wanted to break the city again, and the difficulty was still above the first time.
It's just that in the current situation, it is no longer up to them to decide whether to fight or not.
Originally, because of the siege, the main chariot troops of the coalition army were not of much use, and the 3,000 people retained by Zhao Gao were the most elite chariots of the Zhi clan, which were slightly superior to Han Wei in terms of staffing and horse configuration, which was one of the killer features left by Zhao Gao.
If Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi choose to retreat forcibly, then acting with the infantry army is tantamount to artificially slowing down the speed of the entire army.
If the chariot and the infantry are separated, at this particular moment it is equivalent to abandoning the army behind the rear hall. It's not impossible for a strong man to break his wrist, but after going back, he will have to face the Zhi army, relying only on pure chariot troops, whether he can protect himself or not is a problem, let alone win.
As long as they choose to retreat, it is a dilemma, neither Han Kangzi nor Wei Huanzi is so stupid, the top priority for them is to eat Zhiyan's army, and then even if it is the worst plan, they can find a way to gradually withdraw their forces, based on the territory of the Zhao family, there may not be no chance to turn over.
With Zhi's current behavior, as long as he is alive and has the strength to testify against him, there will always be strong people who uphold the rules for various reasons.
In any case, attacking Jinyang City, which Zhao Gao was defending, was their only chance to turn the tables.
Under the joint accumulation of the two emotions, Han Wei's strength in attacking the city far exceeded the moment of attacking Zhao Xiangzi, and it had almost reached the point of ignoring losses.
Under Jinyang City, layers of corpses and bones were piled up again, and a layer of bright red was re-stacked on top of the dark brown bloodstains.
At the moment when the plan was formulated, Zhao Gao had already expected this day, and even the situation he had preset was much worse than this. Now that the soldiers are defending the city with their lives, Zhao Gao forged the order of the Duke of Jin to announce that Han Wei had become a rebel, and made a promise to exchange military merits for titles, and the honor and heavy reward not only made the morale of the 3,000 new troops high, but even the severely injured remnants of the army also strongly asked to participate in the team defending the city.
There was no way to retreat on either side, and each began the most decisive battle to the death.
Zhao Gao is not stingy, Zhiyan's aura effect as the main general is too weak and has long been abandoned by him, and now he uses the special aura derived from his "Domination" and "Righteous Qi Song": in addition to attaching a protective shield equal to his intelligence to each sergeant, a few additional attribute points have been added, which is of course quite inferior to Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi, but it has finally pulled back a big gap above.
Another prop that plays a big role is the Tiger Talisman, although there are only five hundred soldiers in it, and the attributes cannot be compared with the soldiers on this high-level battlefield at all, but with the blessing of Zhao Gao's aura, it is no less than a dozen elites who can participate in the battle at any time.
To tell the truth, this is the first time that Zhao Gao has shrouded the whole army with a halo as the main general, the passive aura does not consume skill power, and the mental pressure is huge after a long time, and in the past three or five days, Zhao Gao's temples have been visible to the naked eye Bump or concave, and his eyeballs have become bright red.
This is simply supported by the purest life force.
