By May 13th, the Prince Xin's army had gathered in dense numbers outside the city of Guanzhong.

The arrival of the massive, dark crowd caused panic throughout the city.

On the streets and alleys, shopkeepers closed their doors and hid in their homes.

Even the common people returned to their homes and dared not come out.

Meanwhile, at the Qin Prince's residence, the Qin Prince paced anxiously inside, his face grim.

At this moment, a general strode in.

Upon seeing the general, the King of Qin immediately asked, "General Shi, how is the situation now?"

"Your Highness,"

Shi Huabiao frowned and introduced, "The soldiers who withdrew from the Lantian camp have taken over the defense of Guanzhong City. Together with the original garrison in Guanzhong City, there are a total of about 30,000 men. I just finished setting up the city defenses on the east side of the city!"

"good!"

King Qin nodded, stared at Shi Huabiao, and asked, "General Shi, do you think we can stop Prince Xin's army?"

"this……"

Shi Huabiao was stunned for a moment, unsure how to respond to His Highness's words.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your Highness, according to the news sent back from outside the city, the army of Prince Xin that entered Guanzhong this time totals nearly 60,000 troops. Near Huayin County, these 60,000 troops have split into two routes. One route of 30,000 men is heading straight for Guanzhong City. The other route of 30,000 men has already headed north."

Thirty thousand people?

The King of Qin narrowed his eyes and asked in surprise, "General Shi, are you saying that there are 30,000 troops under the command of Prince Xin outside our Guanzhong City?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Shi Huabiao nodded.

At this, the King of Qin slumped completely into his chair.

Since Prince Xin's army entered the pass last year, news of the Battle of Yuguan has been spreading like wildfire.

At that time, the King of Qin heard of the power of the King of Xin's army, which had defeated a court army of over 300,000 with only a little over 100,000 soldiers.

After that, Prince Xin's army won several victories against overwhelming odds.

Some time ago, they even took over Guiling Province and Lingnan Province.

This victory also made the King of Qin realize the terrifying power of King Xin's army.

Now, Prince Xin's army has dispatched over 60,000 troops into the Guanzhong region. Outside Guanzhong city, there are 30,000 soldiers!

With such a large force, it was almost equal to the garrison of Guanzhong City.

In terms of weaponry and equipment, they far surpassed the Qin army.

This alone filled the King of Qin with fear, and he knew that Guanzhong City was likely doomed this time.

"General Shi,"

Surprised, the King of Qin looked up at Shi Huabiao and asked, "What do you think we should do now in Guanzhong?"

"this……"

Shi Huabiao was stunned again.

With a helpless sigh, Shi Huabiao said, "The enemy is strong and we are weak. For now, we have no choice but to hold Guanzhong City."

"in addition,"

Shi Huabiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "The most urgent task is to immediately use money to recruit able-bodied men within Guanzhong City to help defend the city. Perhaps only in this way can we hold Guanzhong City!"

"right!"

The King of Qin nodded heavily.

He quickly looked at the steward of the Prince's mansion beside him and said, "Steward, immediately withdraw three million strings of cash from the treasury and recruit able-bodied men in the city to help defend it!"

"yes!"

The butler quickly responded.

"No!"

After a moment, the King of Qin spoke again, saying, "Three million strings of cash is a bit too little! Take out six million strings of cash!"

"yes!"

The butler quickly responded.

At this moment, the King of Qin knew that even if he lost all his wealth, he could at least hold onto Guanzhong City.

The King of Qin now has no choice but to place all his hopes on the able-bodied men recruited from within the city.

While recruiting able-bodied men in Guanzhong City, the Shenyong Army outside the city had already delivered its final letter of surrender to Guanzhong City.

The message of persuading them to surrender was spreading throughout the city.

The people in the streets and alleys were also murmuring about it.

However, Guanzhong City remained completely unresponsive.

However, the King of Qin's efforts to recruit able-bodied men were progressing extremely slowly.

Even though the King of Qin increased the reward, not many people participated.

After all, every citizen knew the power of Prince Xin's army outside the city, and they also knew that their lives would be better after Prince Xin's army arrived.

Therefore, even if the Qin King's mansion spent all its wealth, it still couldn't recruit many able-bodied young men.

Some able-bodied men were even secretly sabotaging the city's defenses, hoping that Prince Xin's army would enter the city sooner.

On the morning of May 15th, the Divine Valiant Army launched an attack.

One cannon after another was aimed at Guanzhong City and began to bombard it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the shells landed on the walls of Guanzhong, they shattered the walls, causing heavy casualties among the defending soldiers.

The intense bombing instilled fear in the Qin soldiers.

"This...this is the new weapon of Prince Xin's army?"

"Yes! It was precisely because of these new weapons that Prince Xin's army defeated the imperial army of 300,000 at Yuguan City!"

"Really? What should we do this time?"

"I don't know either..."

...

In a corner of the city wall, several soldiers huddled behind the battlements, whispering among themselves.

And not far from them, the explosions were still going on.

Shells rained down on the city walls, and the powerful blasts from the explosions knocked over the defensive supplies that had been prepared nearby.

In a short time, the entire city wall was in a mess.

Countless Qin soldiers were wounded or killed by cannonballs.

On the city wall, severed limbs and broken arms lay scattered all over the ground!
