At this time, ordinary people without much training who went up to the city wall were actually risking their lives, or in other words, using their lives to consume the enemy's ammunition.
After all, from the end of June to the beginning of August, it had been more than a month. In such a long time, if the city had not been built tall and strong, an ordinary city would have been forcibly blown open.
And Tianjueguan is different from Yingtian City. Tianjueguan has a moat. In addition, there are people squatting above it all the time, so there is no chance for people to pile up explosives below and directly blow down the city wall.
But even so, the bunker at the top of the city wall had been destroyed by artillery fire in more than a month, and there was no place to hide.
Soldiers who have received sufficient training know how to act more safely when faced with this situation, but those who are used as cannon fodder cannot do it.
Sun Yuantai acted like this just to preserve his own strength to the greatest extent and consume the enemy's strength. Even after doing this, what awaits him is eternal infamy.
Zhao Cheng only saved up his family fortune for three years, and all kinds of resources cannot be unlimited.
If the delay lasts for a long time, Zhao Cheng may not be able to withdraw his troops.
Although Sun Yuantai himself knew that this idea was unlikely to be realized, he still had such a thought.
But the reality is that the war potential of Southern Wilderness is far more terrifying than Sun Yuantai thought.
Zhao Cheng's three years of accumulation is not just a simple accumulation of resources, but more importantly, the accumulation of people's hearts. Even with the subtle influence of magic, these three years are comparable to ten years, or even more than ten years.
achievement.
Under such circumstances, when the war broke out, the industrial base that Zhao Cheng had built over the past three years was also operating at an overloaded level.
Workers don't need merit. Every one of them takes the initiative to work for more than twelve hours almost every day, far exceeding the prescribed working hours.
Many people even took the initiative to reduce their clothing and diet so that the extra resources could be sent to the front line.
And every time the war in Qingzhou was reported back to the Southern Wilderness through special channels and spread, every victory in the battle would attract waves of warm cheers.
The emotions here are very complex, and everyone's emotions are different.
An old farmer cheered because several of his sons died in the heavy labor of the land. They died of exhaustion and starvation. As for the reason, the laborers not only ignored the food, but even in turn, raised their
The price of food is too high, and you are not allowed to bring your own food. You can only buy it with money there. Those who have no money can only starve to death.
If he sneaks food in and is discovered, he will be beaten to death.
Although this kind of thing is done secretly by people below, it is impossible for people above not to know about it.
The old farmer originally thought that the emperor and those high officials were all deceived by the jackals below, but in the past few years, he came to understand that it turned out that the adults above knew all about it, and the stories in the play were all false, and the above were just pretending.
I don't know.
After all, the life of an ant is not life, and even the death of a person can effectively solve the problem of insufficient land and too many young people. On the contrary, it is an unstable factor that needs to be consumed.
After knowing this, he knew who he should hate, instead of not knowing who he should hate after all his sons died.
A middle-aged man cheered because his son, who had done nothing, was caught as a thief just because he looked similar to a thief.
Beheading, the only thing he could do was to spend all his family wealth to buy back his son's body.
He cheered because the court that killed his son was being beaten, and also because the new country gave him justice.
Therefore, at this critical moment, he would rather not rest but work hard and pay close attention to production.
Because there is a fire in his heart, called the fire of hatred.
And a little guy like him doesn't have the courage to go to the battlefield, otherwise, he should have resisted in the first place.
But in front of him, he was given a chance to take revenge, even if it was only indirect...
There are also young people cheering, but they are young, learn things quickly, have a deep understanding of the corruption of the world, and eagerly want to build a new world...
On the matter of the Northern Expedition, the entire Southern Wilderness was so united. Zhao Cheng really didn't know what he should do in order to fail in this situation?!
Even if the troops on the front line are finished fighting, he will raise his arms and immediately there will be another million-strong army!
However, in this case, the basic market will undoubtedly be shaken.
And it is impossible for Sun Yuantai to know about this situation, because he does not understand how cruel this world is to the lowest ant people.
The great rule of the world that he pursued when he was young, so that the common people could live and work in peace and contentment, was nothing more than a dream of the scholar-bureaucrat class, completely divorced from reality.
Outside Tian Jue Pass, Zhao Cheng stood on a high ground and looked at Tian Jue Pass in the distance. After such a long time, the top of it already looked like a mixture of blood, fire and burning smoke, with broken walls and ruins.
Under the city, there were also many corpses, but they were the soldiers on his side. Their bones had no time and no way to collect them.
Once a general achieves great success, his bones will wither, and in battle, there will be no situation where no one will die.
However, with Zhao Cheng's current achievements and force, if he had taken the initiative to lead the charge, Tianjue Barrier would have been broken a few days ago, and the losses on his side would have been smaller.
But Zhao Cheng was not like this.
Instead, he sat in the rear and commanded, letting his generals and soldiers attack the city.
As for the purpose, of course it is to train troops!
The million-strong army in his hands has few real veterans, and there has been no fighting for several years. Not only the soldiers, but also the generals are a little tired.
This kind of thing is undoubtedly a taboo for military strategists.
If he wants to conquer the world, the soldiers and generals in his hands must not be tired.
Therefore, in this scene, he used blood and fire to fight for the soldiers in his hands!
Only by sharpening his edge can the men and horses in his hands be able to stand on their own.
Otherwise, if he attempts to conquer the world in the future, he will not be able to do everything himself.
After more than a month of anxiety, tens of thousands of the troops and horses in his hands had been killed and more than 100,000 injured. Of course, Sun Yuantai's troops had suffered even more losses, probably only about 400,000 now.
Otherwise, Sun Yuantai would not have driven the people up the city wall.
At this point, there is no doubt that Zhao Cheng's military training has been completed, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are already showing their sharpness.
And then, it is naturally time to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
It is also time for the world to see what it means to be invincible.
After today, the courage of the overlord will become a thing of the past.
"Send my military order and I will lead the entire army to launch a general attack tomorrow!"
Zhao Cheng issued the military order. Immediately, the generals on the left and right knelt down on one knee and said: "Here!"
No one dissuaded Zhao Cheng from taking action himself, because they knew how terrifying Zhao Cheng's force was.
At the same time, no one doubts that the city cannot be breached tomorrow!
Regardless of whether they were generals or soldiers, when they heard this order, they could not suppress their hearts and felt the desire to win!
