"Where's the kerosene! Is it ready? Bring it up quickly!"
"Golden juice! Golden juice! Hurry up!"
"..."
At this moment, the people stationed on the city to resist the attack of Han Sui's army were the Huwei Camp under Zhao Yun, and the one who had been shouting on the city wall was the Colonel under Zhao Yun.
Since the meeting between Han Sui and Liu Zhang that day, the battle for Yuzhong City has officially begun.
The war drums outside the city continued for seven days and seven nights, and the battle on the walls of Yuzhong also lasted for seven days and seven nights.
Han Suijun went crazy and attacked Yuzhong City frantically.
In seven days, Han Sui had an army of 230,000. Except for the 30,000 cavalry who had not participated in the siege, the other 200,000 had been rotated once!
Han Sui fulfilled his bold words to Liu Zhang and fought to the death regardless of losses and at all costs!
The bloody battles continued day and night, and at least 10,000 more corpses would appear under Yuzhong City every day!
After seven days and seven nights of offensive, Han Sui's army was severely reduced by more than 80,000 people.
The Yizhou Army, which relied on the strong defense of the city, also suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. This was despite Liu Zhang's order to use defensive equipment without restraint.
In fact, starting from the third day, the Qiang soldiers of Han Sui's army gradually attacked the city wall and started fighting hand-to-hand with the Yizhou army from time to time.
Fortunately, the quality of Liu Zhang's generals was far inferior to that of the Qiang people of the Han-Sui coalition, and they were beaten mercilessly every time.
Starting from the fifth day, the rotation of Wuwei camp, Huwei camp and barbarian soldiers could no longer guarantee that the city wall would not be lost. Liangzhou Jingqi also all dismounted from the wall and joined the battle against the Qiang people.
Since Wuwei County was largely occupied by Zhang Liao, the attitudes of these soldiers in Wuwei County have obviously changed.
Now they serve Liu Zhang without any resistance at all, and even fight frequently, guarding Yuzhong City together with the Yizhou Army.
As the sun rises, the darkness in the sky is gradually receding, indicating that a new day is coming.
This moment also means that the battle between Liu Zhang and Han Sui for Yuzhong City has officially entered the eighth day!
In addition to Wufeng Camp, the Wuwei Camp, Huwei Camp, Barbarians and Liangzhou Jingqi who were tasked with defending the city totaled less than 40,000 people.
Excluding the cavalry, Han Sui's army had nearly 120,000 fighting men left.
Yuzhong City was like a meat grinder, killing 100,000 people in seven days.
How long will the city attack and defense battle last?
How many more soldiers will Yuzhong City need to kill?
Nothing is known!
The soldiers on both sides were exhausted, but both sides were gritting their teeth and persisting, praying to become the final victor.
However, after seven days of bloody battles, although the balance of victory has not yet tilted in favor of one side, the military morale and morale of both sides have already undergone tremendous changes.
After seven days and seven nights of continuous fierce attacks, Yuzhong City was still in Liu Zhang's hands, which undoubtedly proved the failure of Han Sui's army.
This cannot be avoided without acknowledging it.
The morale of the Han-Sui coalition went from high on the first day, to slowing down on the second day, to declining morale on the third day, showing a downward trend every day.
This is also a problem that Han Sui cannot avoid and change in how to boost morale and how to reward soldiers.
On the other hand, although the Yizhou Army could not compare with the Han-Sui coalition in terms of numbers, it did not have much of a problem guarding Yuzhong City.
The four battalions of soldiers and horses rotated for defense, which was enough to give every soldier a good rest.
Coupled with the assurance of Liu Zhang's sufficient supplies, the morale of the Yizhou Army became higher and higher as the Qiang people were continuously repelled.
For seven consecutive days, Han and Sui's coalition forces were unable to take Yuzhong City, so another seven days would be of no avail.
Strong confidence in defeating the enemy filled every Yizhou soldier.
In addition, coach Liu Zhang, generals Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, and even Pang De, Ma Yue, etc. often joined the battle, sharing the same hatred with the soldiers, advancing and retreating together, which pushed morale to the top.
To this day, every soldier in Yuzhong City is full of confidence in the outcome of the war.
Things are relative, and it is impossible for soldiers on both sides to think that they can win.
Especially after the Qiang people suffered large-scale casualties, the panic of defeat spread uncontrollably among the army.
There was only a seven-day interval between the rotational attack of 200,000 men and the rotation of 120,000 men, which also made it difficult for the Qiang soldiers to adapt.
If you force the battle to begin, your combat effectiveness will inevitably be low!
This is also the reason why there are fewer and fewer Yizhou troops, but more and more Qiang casualties.
In the Allied Forces Camp, in the Chinese Army Commander's tent, Han Sui sat on the throne with red eyes. He had not slept for three days and nights.
Han Sui's mood was falling off a cliff. From the beginning, he was determined to win, and then he had doubts. Now he can't even see the hope of victory!
For Han Sui, the only good news is that the five chiefs of the Qiang tribe did not back down. The expansion of casualties made them hate Liu Zhang even more!
Han Sui further cooperated in instilling the idea that Yuzhong City would soon be destroyed and Liu Zhang and Guizhou were exhausted, making these Qiang people even more unwilling to give up the "victory" they were about to obtain.
But can victory really come?
Even Han Sui, who instilled this kind of thinking, now couldn't help but have a big question mark in his heart.
"Lord!"
A soft call brought Han Sui back to his senses. It turned out that military advisor Cheng Gongying had come to his side at some unknown time.
"Military advisor, you are here..."
Han Sui wanted to ask about the result of the battle, but thinking that all the news was bad news, he did not ask in the end.
A trace of heartache flashed in Cheng Gongying's eyes.
In just seven days, many white strands appeared in Han Sui's black hair!
"My lord, have you stayed up all night again?"
Han Sui tapped his forehead lightly with his hand, and then let out a soft sigh.
"Hey, there is no progress in the war ahead, how can I sleep!"
Hearing every day how many people had been killed and injured made Han Sui feel physically and mentally exhausted.
"My lord, you must take care of yourself. The soldiers of the three armies cannot live without my lord!"
Today's coalition forces are entirely supported by Han Sui. If he falls, the army may be scattered!
"It doesn't matter. Unless Liu Zhang dies, I won't fall down easily!"
Unfortunately, Han Sui only had a firm look in his eyes, and the constant feeling of weakness in his body made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Ahem..."
After coughing a few times, Han Sui wanted to stand up and move his stiff body.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he was halfway up, his legs felt sore and weak, and Han Sui sat back down.
"Lord!"
Cheng Gongying was shocked. He had followed Han Sui for many years, but he had never seen such a scene before.
Han Sui raised a hand with difficulty, and then waved it gently several times.
"I'm fine! Tell me, what was the result of last night's battle?"
The corners of Cheng Gongying's eyes kept twitching, and he hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say anything.
"Tell me, I can bear it!"
Han Sui's mood became even lower. Judging from Cheng Gongying's reaction, it was not ordinary bad news!
"Lord, our army died in battle last night...nearly ten thousand people!"
"What!"
Han Sui's mind went into a trance and he almost fainted!
