"Ha ha!"

Everyone in the camp laughed and felt extremely comfortable. This war is not over yet, and there will be a perfect ending. The initiative has completely come to our side, so they are not in a hurry...

Afterwards, the relevant war situation was notified to the entire army, and the morale of Kang's army immediately increased.

It turns out that Your Majesty has such a backup plan and such a clever strategy, victory is in sight!

However, they did not take the initiative to attack the city immediately. Instead, they took advantage of the gap between Liang Jun's attack and carried out city gate reinforcements, city wall protection, etc.

After deliberation, a conclusion was reached.

Since Liang Jun still had some troops left and had not withdrawn, he must not be reconciled to this result and would definitely continue to attack the city.

Now that morale is declining, the siege does not have the same momentum as before, which will only increase unnecessary consumption.

So we have to drag them to death until they collapse.

The prediction was not wrong.

In the afternoon, Liang Jun organized another attack on the city.

But you can clearly see the difference from before.

It can't even be considered a charge. The march is scattered and empty, and the formation is chaotic.

It used to make people feel crazy, but now it looks very reluctant. If you ask me to beat you, I will beat you. At worst, you will die.

There is no fighting spirit, no morale, no appearance of fighting at all, and naturally there will be no results.

Sure enough, during the attack, it was difficult to climb up the city wall, even the ladder was unstable, and when it hit the city gate, it looked weak.

The Kang army could just guard the city wall at will. If someone came up and killed them directly, there would be no pressure and no casualties.

This is the easiest way to defend the city. It is completely different from before.

Liang Jun's casualties began to increase, and corpses quickly piled up.

Under this stimulation, Liang Jun's soldiers, who originally lacked fighting spirit, stopped attacking and began to retreat on their own.

The ladder was placed on the wall and no one took the initiative to climb it. It looked quite embarrassing...

"Commander, please withdraw, this battle is impossible to fight!"

Many generals just behind saw it clearly.

Lu Ji opened his mouth to dissuade him.

They all feel that this has no meaning except increasing casualties...

The fundamental problem is that morale has collapsed.

"Yes, Commander, most of the people have withdrawn, which has caused the remaining soldiers to be very emotionally unstable... and can no longer fight!"

"Shut up!"

Zong Yuhai said coldly: "Our Daliang soldiers are all brave men, how can we say defeat so easily!"

"Liang Chun, go to the front of the formation to supervise the battle. If anyone retreats or is lazy in fighting, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Commander!"

"You still don't accept the order?"

"yes!"

A general had no choice but to go out to the front of the formation.

Everyone looked at each other.

They found that the commander-in-chief had developed an obsession because of his unwillingness, and brought it to the entire army.

He also knew that victory was impossible.

But he just couldn't bear to evacuate in such an awkward manner, and always wanted to do something.

Since conventional means cannot inspire morale, then this extreme method is used.

You know, this method has never been used before.

Doing this at this stage will definitely cause problems...

"Commander, Your Majesty wants us to return to the defense with 500,000 troops, but we can't all stay here, and we can't delay too long."

Lu Ji comforted him again.

"I know it well."

Zong Yuhai was not moved at all.

Yes.

Now he has fallen into a morbid mentality.

He couldn't imagine what kind of criticism he would suffer under the current war situation?

He couldn't accept it.

Failure to stop the loss in time would harm him and Liang Jun.

Send someone to strictly supervise the army.

Kill those who retreat in fear of fighting to achieve the goal.

This has some effect, but it is far from the previous level, and this is not a long-term solution. Problems will inevitably occur over time.

The fundamental reason is that there is no will to fight, which cannot be rectified by strict military management.

A few days passed like this.

Under Zong Yuhai's supervision, waves of attacks were launched as before, but the results were greatly reduced.

It can be said that there are basically no results.

The crumbling city gate could never be broken through, and it was just a waste of death.

The officers and soldiers of the Liang Army had persisted for nearly a month. They were physically and mentally exhausted and relaxed, so they could no longer persist.

Zong Yuhai tried every means.

Words of encouragement, leading by example, increasing military pay, etc. all have no effect.

He could only use harsh measures, which were barely effective.

Everyone knows that this will not lead to good results.

But Zong Yuhai simply refused to listen to dissuasion. Now he was like a gambler. The more he invested, the more unwilling he became and the more he wanted to get his money back.

He can't stop.

But the soldiers couldn't bear it anymore.

At first, they just didn't want to fight. Their morale collapsed and they just had no will to fight, but no resentment.

Under such high pressure, the soldiers could not bear it and deserted.

I don't want to fight, I just want to go back to my country.

Even though this is a border area, you can return home on your own.

Zong Yuhai was furious when he found out. He knew that this hole could not be opened, and once it was opened, it could not be closed.

Deserting is absolutely not allowed in the military.

He took harsh rectification measures against the deserters, but this did not curb the situation. On the contrary, the situation became more and more serious...

But one good thing is that they have enough food and grass, because more people leave and die, so less food is consumed.

Otherwise, the situation may be worse.

After a few days like this, Liang Jun's losses increased and a mutiny broke out in the military camp.

The soldiers were dissatisfied with Zong Yuhai's high-pressure policy and began to riot on a large scale.

Although it was controlled in time, it also caused losses.

Morale is weak, the morale of the army is unstable, exhausted, and the elite soldiers have become stragglers.

The atmosphere in the camp was extremely oppressive.

Zong Yuhai, who was sitting in the handsome position, had pale hair and showed signs of fatigue. After half a month of hard work, he seemed older than before and in quite poor spirits.

"Commander, withdraw. If you don't withdraw our troops, it will be over!"

Lu Ji comforted him again.

"Commander, we are defeated. If we are really defeated, please leave some more troops for me, Daliang!"

A general knelt in front of him with a sad voice!

Those who have been able to stay with Zong Yuhai until now are all his close subordinates, and they are all giving hard advice at this moment!

"His Majesty ordered us to mobilize troops to return to defense, but it has been delayed for a long time. We did not return to defense in time, and our troops were severely damaged, so we cannot explain it."

Bitter words.
To be continued...
