Ying Yuan is still kept in the dark.
I was completely unaware of the support from the aristocratic family.
Because Cai Jing and others felt that the emperor must have anticipated this result when he suddenly decided to promulgate the imperial examination system.
Since Your Majesty has already anticipated it, there is no need to tell Your Majesty.
So as to avoid being looked down upon by His Majesty.
So, at this time, Ying Yuan was still foolishly looking forward to the scene where the aristocratic family was doing something behind the scenes.
The whole day was immersed in the situation of war raging in the country.
Little did he know that the things he expected were going in the opposite direction and were getting further and further away.
The Qin Dynasty did not decline because of his actions.
On the contrary, the country's national strength is growing rapidly in a thriving manner.
...
Early August of the fifth year of Chengping.
Japanese country.
A war that will shock China both inside and outside the country is about to break out.
This battle was later praised as a milestone in the growth of Qin's national strength.
It is commonly known among the people as the Zhongxing period, which is the period of concentrated outbreak of national fortune.
Some later historians believed that it was because the Qin Dynasty won this battle that its overall national strength would grow in an unstoppable manner in the future.
now.
Except for Huo Qubing's troops, the rest of the Qin generals have arrived at the designated location.
An extremely rare chaotic battle broke out inside and outside Xiangcheng.
Almost every few miles from the city gate, you can see a small-scale conflict breaking out.
In Xu Chu's camp.
Many soldiers often heard roars coming from the main tent.
It came from Xu Chu.
However, this roar did not mean that he was angry, but rather that he was excited enough about the battle that was evolving today.
"Interesting, interesting! This battle is so exciting! Several famous Japanese generals are here, right? It's time for us to take action!"
While laughing, Xu Chu began to gather his troops and quickly surrounded a Japanese general stationed nearby.
At the same time, Dian Wei also began to make moves:
"It's so satisfying, so satisfying! This battle is getting more and more exciting!
Even Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Edo Shogunate was alarmed. How exciting!
Since Tokugawa Ieyasu is coming, we can't let him pass smoothly!
Order the entire army to fight to the death to stop Tokugawa Ieyasu!"
The entire city of Shoshu and the Edo Shogunate were in chaos.
Neither the enemy nor our side had any idea why this battle started.
In short, the fight started in a confused manner.
Outside Xiangcheng.
Huo Guang was personally commanding his soldiers to attack the city.
And at all costs.
Soldiers came forward wave after wave, but they could not shake Xiangcheng at all.
The Japanese general in charge of garrisoning Xiangcheng was named Honda Tadakatsu.
He was also a famous general of Japan.
In Ying Yuan's previous life, this person was a military general in the early Warring States Period of Japan, and he was also a general who left a great name in the history of Japan.
However, if compared with the Qin army generals in terms of so-called military strategy, this person is still far behind.
But there is indeed a way to defend the city.
There were only 30,000 to 40,000 defenders in Xiangcheng.
However, they were able to resist Huo Guang's attacks several times.
It’s really incredible.
Guo Jia stood behind Huo Guang and clasped his fists, saying, "We've already dispatched several battalions of soldiers to attack the city. If we continue like this, the casualties will be too great. Why don't you withdraw the troops for now, Marshal, and take your time."
He was always bold and aggressive in his marches and battles, and he always looked confident no matter what the situation was.
But this time, he didn't plan to take any risks.
He was indeed somewhat surprised by the enemy's ability to defend the city.
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "The battle has come to this point. How can we retreat? If we relax our attack on the city, won't it harm Bai Qi and his men?"
What he meant was that Bai Qi and others made great sacrifices for the Battle of Xiangcheng.
They fought hard in various parts of Japan to stop the Japanese army from rushing to rescue Xiangcheng.
If they choose to relax the siege at this time, Bai Qi and his men will be under great pressure.
As long as they can capture Xiangcheng, the game will be won for the Qin army.
In fact, from the very beginning, Huo Guang had no intention of taking Xiangcheng, but because of the development of the overall war situation, he had to make a strategic change.
Otherwise, the saying that the battlefield changes rapidly would not be on the lips of famous generals throughout history.
"Order the entire army to continue attacking the city!"
Huo Guang gritted his teeth and issued the order.
In this war, many people will die on both sides.
But he had no choice.
He could only curse Huo Qubing in his heart. If the other party was not his brother, he would really have the urge to kill him.
"kill!"
After hearing the commander's order, the Qin soldiers continued to attack Xiangcheng one after another.
A soldier holding a shield was shot through the right leg by a Japanese arrow during the charge.
This caused him to temporarily lose the ability to move.
If you get injured during this kind of siege, there is only one outcome: death.
Because no one was busy saving him.
He might be trampled to death by his own people.
You may also be shot to death by the enemy's arrows.
All in all, judging from the current situation, there is no way out.
The soldier suddenly spotted a fellow townsman among the charging crowd, and hurriedly called out, "Old Wang, Old Wang!"
Hearing the familiar voice calling out, Lao Wang suddenly stopped and looked behind him. Suddenly he noticed the figure of the soldier and turned around quickly.
