As long as he doesn't get caught up in this dilemma, that's fine.
Yang Cheng pondered for a moment, then said to Zhang Liang and Shui Qing, "Do you trust me?"
Zhang Liang and Shui Qing said at the same time, "Of course we believe in our lord!"
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Then let's go and save them!"
The saying goes, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." Once the anti-Qin alliance collapses, it will be difficult to reunite it.
Moreover, once the anti-Qin alliance fails, we survivors will become the main targets of Qin's extermination efforts.
"Then we'll be facing the Qin army's constant pursuit."
Actually, Yang Cheng had another reason for wanting to save the anti-Qin alliance: that was, the anti-Qin alliance was the only one in the world with the power to truly fight against the Qin army, enter Xianyang, and help him obtain the inheritance of Qingyuan Daomiao Zhenjun.
Once the anti-Qin alliance is gone, I'll really have to do what Jing Ke did, storming the Qin palace in Xianyang alone, facing too many unknown dangers.
Moreover, after this battle, his status within the anti-Qin alliance will be elevated to the same level as that of other regional lords like Wei Bao.
Although we don't have as many troops as they do, we have our own strength.
Although Zhang Liang's cultivators were elite, they were few in number. With the addition of the Shui family, they were now an army composed entirely of cultivators. The destructive power of a few thousand people combined was comparable to that of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Even with over a thousand Black Dragon Riders, they couldn't match him; in this world of Immortal Qin, numbers weren't an absolute advantage.
After making the decision, Yang Cheng immediately said, "Zifang, do you still have any connections in Chu? Find out the situation immediately and prepare to take action."
Leave the tasks of charging into battle, slaying generals, and capturing flags to me.
But I'm not good at planning and strategizing.
Zifang, you have been given military strategy by Huang Shigong. How to lead the army to defeat the enemy, including me, is all entrusted to you for command.
Shui Qing, you members of the Shui family must also obey Zifang's orders. Can you do that?
Sensing Yang Cheng's gaze sweeping over her, Shui Qing quickly replied, "I will obey your orders, my lord!"
As Zhang Liang clasped his hands in agreement, a sense of gratitude welled up within him, a feeling of being touched by Yang Cheng's trust.
Even if I were to become Xiong Wu's master, he certainly wouldn't place such great trust in me.
Of course, Yang Cheng would be out of his mind not to trust Zhang Liang.
Whether in history or in this distorted world of the Immortal Qin, Zhang Liang is enough to prove his abilities.
In this situation, professional matters should be handled by professionals, and Yang Cheng should just wait to go on the field and fight.
Zhang Liang was indeed extremely efficient, quickly gathering information from the battlefield and preparing to launch a surprise attack to provide assistance at any time.
At this moment, on the battlefield of Kuaiji Commandery, more than 500,000 troops had gathered here, one after another, like a grinding wheel of flesh and blood.
The innermost layer contained 50,000 elite Qin soldiers, including thousands of demons from Mount Li and flesh-and-blood mechanisms of evil spirits.
The outermost layer consisted of the 150,000-strong anti-Qin alliance army, while the outermost layer was the 200,000-strong Qin army led by Ying Tao.
Those 50,000 elite Qin troops were like nails, deeply rooted, firmly holding back the anti-Qin alliance's army.
As soon as they tried to break out, the Qin soldiers immediately intervened to stop them, leaving them vulnerable to attacks from both sides.
However, when the Anti-Qin Alliance tried to swallow them up, they immediately retreated back inside, relying on Qin Mo's flesh and blood mechanisms and the fearless Lishan demons to block the attack. The Anti-Qin Alliance was unable to swallow them up in a short time.
Therefore, the entire anti-Qin alliance was caught in an awkward situation where it could neither advance nor retreat.
Meanwhile, the 200,000 Qin troops led by Ying Tao on the periphery were even more ruthless.
Instead of launching a direct attack, they formed an encirclement, intending to slowly wear down the anti-Qin alliance members within!
Two hundred and fifty thousand could be defeated by swallowing one hundred and fifty thousand, but it was absolutely impossible to swallow them all in one go.
These guys in the anti-Qin alliance were all die-hard traitors, so Ying Tao didn't even want to leave them alive. He wanted to follow the example of Lord Wu'an and bury all these traitors alive!
He initially tried to persuade them to surrender, but as expected, he was refused.
He then began to tighten the encirclement, launching minor offensives every day to deplete the strength of the anti-Qin alliance, gradually killing their soldiers and consuming their supplies.
Five days have passed, and the anti-Qin alliance has already lost more than 20,000 men to this kind of attrition. Their food supplies are also running out, and the soldiers are shrouded in fear every day, with their morale at its lowest point.
When they are completely consumed by hunger and fear, that will be the time for Ying Tao to launch a full-scale attack!
Ying Tao was like a patient hunter, quietly waiting for his prey in the net to become exhausted.
