TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1117: Chapter 452 The Fall of Zhao_2 Chapter 1117: Chapter 452 The Fall of Zhao_2 At his side, Hu Guangli, one of the two Inborn Commanders in the city, spoke in an even tone, “The Chu bandits are cruel and lawless, which has provoked widespread fury.

The soldiers fear surrendering to the bandits and naturally vow to resist to the death.”

Zhou Bangcai nodded in agreement, but his worries mounted, “However, these past days, the Chu Army’s reinforcements from the north have been on the increase, and the strength of the troops at Qingyangzi, the Le’an Camp Commander outside the city, has grown ever more formidable.

If things continue this way, the bandits will soon outnumber the army inside our city by several times.

Based on the bandits’ past actions, I’m afraid they’ll immediately launch an attack on the city, or rather, the fact is they have already started the attack.

The four camps that were torn down outside the city are a harbinger of this.

With the strength of just one city, I fear we won’t hold out for long, and the road to Xichang City behind us will also be broken by the bandits.”

Zhou Bangcai was full of worry.

Not only the low-level soldiers, like Old Black Liu and others, were worried about the future.

Even someone like him, the ruler of a city, commanding two hundred thousand horsemen, was concerned about the bleak future.

The fate of Xichang City, as seen from their position to the rear, was crystal clear to them.

Not only were all the soldiers and horses of the city given to the Chu Army, but not one of those Inborn Generals managed to escape.

When recalling the previous northern expeditions by Chu State, including Wei, Zhao, Liang, Zheng, and even their Xu State, once surrounded by the Chu Army, very few were able to escape.

The phenomenon of it being difficult to kill an Inborn Grandmaster, with hardly a single Innate dying even in a great war,

The death of Inborn Grandmasters on the battlefield slowly became the norm, a fact which people started to accept as usual.

This is undoubtedly a very alarming reality.

Especially for them, the Inborn Grandmasters, it meant that the normally effective get-out-of-death-free card was starting to fail.

They were no longer virtually assured of survival on the battlefield,

But could, just like the common soldiers, have their lives easily taken by the enemy and be returned wrapped in horsehide.

The emergence of this fact was heavy on their hearts.

Zhou Bangcai felt the pressure brought by the Chu Army and began to worry about his own life.

“Right now, the reinforcements coming from the Chu Army are few, and they have not yet fully surrounded Sheqiu City.

We should take this opportunity to risk a breakout and head to Le Ling City to seek aid from His Majesty.”

Hu Guangli suggested, “As long as His Majesty also sends reinforcements, even if the Chu Army increases its soldiers, our army will also be reinforced, and Sheqiu City will naturally be as solid as a rock.

Just like Wuyan City, let’s make the Chu bandits suffer a heavy blow here as well.”

As high-level officials of the army, the two of them were well aware of what was happening with the Chu Army coming from the north outside the city.

It’s just that Wuyan City in the north had been reinforced with too many troops from within, and the Chu bandits had hit a wall there, unable to make any progress.

That’s why they redeployed troops to march south, aiming to squeeze this softer target of Sheqiu City.

But just as long as this place receives reinforcements like Wuyan City, then the Chu bandits will have the same old story repeated, and they’ll once again suffer a crushing defeat.”

Zhou Bangcai sighed, “The country is already short of troops.

Just our Le’an Prefecture alone has opened three battlefronts to the south.

Wuyan City in Dongping County is also in grave danger.

Additionally, with Qingping County facing a large incursion of Chu bandits,

All together, the places in the country that require troops add up to no less than three million soldiers.

Even if Le Ling City still has some troops, how many can they dispatch to come here?

And if more troops leave Le Ling City, what happens if another front becomes vulnerable?

Where will we find reinforcements to dispatch?”

After worrying about the state affairs, Zhou Bangcai changed the topic, “However, you’re absolutely right, if we don’t call for reinforcements now, then Sheqiu City won’t be able to hold.

If we fall here, the front lines at Le Ling will be wide open, and the Chu bandits will be able to march straight in and head for the Imperial Capital.

This is something we absolutely cannot allow to happen.

In a moment, I will go and select some experts and volunteers to break through, bringing a few top generals with them to seek aid from Le Ling.”

Hu Guangli said, “We should have done this much earlier.

If reinforcements come now, we still might save the situation.

If it’s delayed by another ten days to half a month, even if reinforcements arrive, Sheqiu City won’t hold.”

Zhou Bangcai acknowledged, “I will act with the utmost haste.”

That night,

Aside from a few guard posts arranged by the Chu Army, they had fallen into sleep outside the city.

And upon the walls of Sheqiu City, a basket was slowly lowered from above, from which several shadows leapt out and disappeared into the vast night.

They split in different directions, heading north through various routes.

In the middle of the night, several brief and urgent skirmishes broke out, as some were discovered.

Inside the city, the Xu Army heard the commotion, each man with his heart in his throat, silently praying.

Under this atmosphere within the city, the dawn broke the darkness, and a new day began.

…

Meanwhile, on the battlefield of Xu Country, the Chu Army and Xu Army began to match wits and forces, each comparing their military resources.

In Ji Province of Northern Hebei, in Handan City,

Accompanied by roars of cheer and thick smoke rising from within, the banner of Zhao was chopped to the ground.

Countless barbarian soldiers with different hairstyles and dresses trampled over the blood-stained Zhao banner on the ground, swarming into the city.

Following last year’s defeat of the Zhao Army in the eastern province, which lost the decade-long stronghold of Nan Du’s Emperor Hill and retreated in haste back to its homeland in Ji Province,

Millions of barbarians entrenched in the Ji Province, like sharks that smelt blood, thronged and began to gnaw around the grievously wounded Zhao, continually tearing with their teeth.
