Chapter 1985

Less than 10 days after the siege, the local troops in Sichuan army had already suffered more than half of the casualties. After that, Yang Zhao issued military orders to the heads of prefectures. Like the previous military orders, he still recruited local troops.

The local government had no choice but to capture the strong men door-to-door. This time, they couldn't even provide proper armour and weapons, so they were directly escorted to the front line of Jinsha city.

The bloody battle in Jinsha city has been going on for nearly a month, and now it has entered a strange cycle. The main central army of Sichuan does not directly engage in the battle, but puts the local army in front of it as cannon fodder. The local army is no longer Sichuan people, all of them are virtuous people, and the casualties in the battle are mostly Zhen people. Sichuan army, as the main attacking party, is incredible Zero casualties.

Yang Zhao has also made up his mind now, that is to use Zhen people to consume the rebels in Jinsha City, at least half of them. Then his own army will be able to take Jinsha city and wipe out the rebels.

His idea was very good, and the war situation was more and more disadvantageous to the Zhen army led by Li Shu. Although the Zhen army could beat back the Sichuan army's attacks one after another every day, they had their own casualties. One thousand and eight hundred people were injured today, and another hundreds or thousands more were injured tomorrow. Every day, tens of thousands of casualties were accumulated every day.

So far, Yinli has been gone for more than a month, but there is no sign of reinforcements. What's more, the grain and grass in Jinsha city has been consumed seriously.

I don't know how long Yin Li will have to wait for him to come back. Li Shu can only order that the whole army control the ration from three meals a day to two meals a day.

The Zhen army in Jinsha city has gradually felt the pressure. Similarly, Yang Zhao outside the city also has pressure. His tactics of fighting Zhen people with Zhen people were not recognized by all the generals of Sichuan army. LV you was one of them. However, LV you and Yang Zhao had a very close personal relationship, which made it difficult to confront him face to face. Chen Lihua and Chai song expressed their opposition to Yang Zhao's tactics most clearly.

At the time of the meeting, the two of them raised more than once that Yang Zhao's tactics had problems. Even if he only used them once or twice, he would have a lot of troubles. What's more, he has to use it all the time.

Yang Zhao scoffed at the opposition of the two of them. At last, he said in public that Chen Lihua and Chai song were the least qualified people to gossip in front of him. At the beginning, under their command, the central army of the state of Sichuan was beaten by the rebels. This is not only a disgrace to the Sichuan army, but also an insult to the state of Sichuan. Both Chen Lihua and Chai song are criminals of the state of Sichuan.

As the saying goes, beating people is not even slapping in the face. Yang Zhao denounces or even humiliates Chen Lihua and Chai song in public. How can they stand it? What's more, they are all at the same rank. Yang Zhao has no right to hold them accountable.

Chen Lihua and Chai song are very angry. If it is not for the public who will come out in time to fight against Yang Zhao, they will have to fight Yang Zhao in public.

Later, Chen Lihua and Chai song jointly wrote a letter to the imperial court, describing exactly what Yang Zhao had done here in Jinsha city.

Soon this letter was sent back to Zhaoyang, the capital of Sichuan Province. After reading the letter, many ministers felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Even though Yang Zhao's method of doing things was a little extreme, it was for the sake of the officers and men of the Sichuan army, which was justifiable.

However, after reading the letter, Xiao Xiang was furious and wrote a reply to Yang Zhao himself.

In her reply, Xiao Xiang denounced Yang Zhao for being reckless and shortsighted. The state of Sichuan did not run away after fighting Zhendi and Zhenren, but to occupy and assimilate it, to make Zhendi a permanent territory of Sichuan, and to assimilate Zhen people into Sichuan people for generations. Now it's better. Yang Zhao thinks he is right. He forces Zhenren to fight Zhenren, and makes Zhen people kill each other. If he continues to do so, I believe that it will not be long before Li Shu's power is eliminated, and there will be a second, third and even more "Li Shu" in Zhendi. When will there be four rebellions, when will the chaos in Zhendi be completely put down?

Although Yang Zhao was a great meritorious official who helped Xiao Xiang ascend the throne, Xiao Xiang was not polite to him when it came to the vital interests of Sichuan. The words in the letter were extremely tough. He ordered Yang Zhao to immediately terminate his tactics, repatriate all the Zhen people who had been forcibly recruited, and directly attack Jinsha city with his Sichuan army officers and men.

Xiao Xiang's stop was timely, but the damage caused by Yang Zhao's tactics has already been produced, which can be wiped out in a moment.

After receiving Xiao Xiang's letter, Yang Zhao shrunk his neck after reading it. Even if he only read the letter and didn't see Xiao Xiang himself, he could feel Xiao Xiang's anger between the lines.

After receiving Xiao Xiang's letter, Yang Zhao, who was so tough and tough, made a compromise after receiving Xiao Xiang's letter. He repatriated all the local troops according to Xiao Xiang's order, and also allocated a part of the army's salary to them as road expenses.

After repatriating the local army, the Sichuan army began the real siege. On the one hand, it was a strong attack by 400000 troops, on the other hand, it was a staunch defense of more than 100000 troops. The fierce fighting between the two sides lasted for more than a month.

In this period of more than one month, the Sichuan army attacked the head of Jinsha City countless times, and was finally toppled down by the Zhen army countless times. The walls of Jinsha city had been smashed out countless times, and finally the bodies of officers and soldiers on both sides were filled in countless times.After more than two months of fierce fighting, the walls of Jinsha city are already riddled with holes, while the outside of Jinsha city is covered with corpses.

The fresh corpse covered the rotten corpse, and then the fresh corpse gradually decayed and was covered by the fresher corpse. The ground was covered with black corpse water, and the smell of blood and stench in the air was abominable.

Now Jinsha city is like a huge meat grinder, which is constantly chopping the soldiers on both sides of Chuanzhen every day.

By this time, both the Sichuan army and the Zhen army were exhausted. Sichuan's 400000 army has dropped sharply to more than 200000, and only 70000 or 80000 are left of the 100000 Zhenjun army. It was a bloody battle worthy of its name.

Compared with the Sichuan army, the Zhen army trapped in the city for more than two months is undoubtedly more difficult. The grain and grass in the city has been eaten up for a long time. The hungry soldiers of the Zhen army can only eat people. When the bodies are gone, they eat the wounded soldiers. When the wounded soldiers eat up, they rush into the city to eat the people All the medicine in the city has been used up. Once the soldiers of the Zhen army are injured, there is no medicine to cure them. They can only do simple dressing. The strong and lucky people may survive. On the contrary, they can only wait for the wound to become inflamed and fester, and then rot to the last stage and die of blood loss.

It has been more than two months for the Zhen army to resist the Sichuan army. It has been nearly three months since Yin Li left the army before. But in these three months, let alone the shadow of reinforcements, Yinli didn't even hear from him.

At present, most of the officers and men of the Zhen army no longer have any expectations for Yinli. They believe that it is false for him to go to Chiyue to borrow troops. They are afraid that the Sichuan army is powerful, and that it is true to flee in battle.

Li Shu was very tough. He insisted that Yinli would never abandon himself. He must have been hindered in borrowing troops. I believe that with his intelligence, he could soon persuade Chi Yue and lead reinforcements back to rescue. Li Shu said so. In fact, he was also desperate for Yin Li.

But he can't say that. At least he has to leave a glimmer of hope for his officers and men. Otherwise, his own morale will collapse and he will no longer be able to resist the strong attack of the Sichuan army.

Where is Yin Li now? He was really guessed right by the soldiers of the Zhen army. He didn't go to the tooth Yue at all. Knowing that it is impossible to do it is not the style of Yin Li.

Previously, Li Shu had borrowed 30000 troops from Chi Yue. As a result, in the first World War of Wangxi plain, 30000 of them were completely destroyed. The more teeth have been in vain with more than 30000 elite people, now ask people to borrow soldiers, the more teeth will not borrow any more.

The reason why Yin Li said he wanted to go to Chiyue to borrow troops was to give Li Shu and all the soldiers a hope and an excuse to leave Jinsha city. If he explained his intention directly, let alone that Li Shu would not agree, all the officers and men under his command would oppose it.

With the passage of time, the bloody battle of Jinsha city has entered the fourth month, which is also the most difficult month in the whole campaign.

The exhausted officers and men of both sides are at the end of their strength. The soldiers on both sides are biting their teeth to fight. As the Zhen army's city defense weapons have been exhausted, it is easier for the attacking Sichuan army to attack the city wall. The number of hand to hand combat between the two sides has also increased rapidly.

For the Sichuan army, it is easy to attack the city head now, but it is too difficult to get into the city from the city head. Facing the fierce counterattack of the Zhen army, the Sichuan army rushed up and was beaten back. After a whole day's fierce fighting, the Sichuan army could attack the city head for no less than 50 times, but they were all forced back by the Sichuan army.

The close combat between the two sides on the city wall was good for the Zhen army, that is, they had enough food. After that, there were corpses mixed with white bones on the walls of Jinsha City, and the white bones were mixed with corpses. The appearance of the white bones was similar to that of hell. This also made the soldiers of Sichuan army who rushed to the city head feel a sense of fear.

By the end of the fourth month of the bloody battle in Jinsha City, the number of Zhenjun troops was less than 30000. The remaining Zhen troops were all skinny, with deep sunken eyes and protruding cheekbones. They looked like a fierce ghost. Of course, the Sichuan army was not so good. It can't be said that there were at least six or seven empty battalions The main forces are concentrated outside the east gate of Jinsha city.

Feeling that the rebels in the city have reached the limit, Yang Zhao is now planning to make a final attack on the garrison rebels.
