Could reinforcements have arrived?
Yu Gan looked at Li Qin's camp opposite him and said with a puzzled expression.
"Tell the soldiers not to let their guard down and to strengthen their vigilance."
"yes."
The next day, as the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth.
In the main camp, Geng Zhixiang's army, which had been prepared, began its siege with newly prepared simplified versions of siege ladders, battering rams, and other siege equipment.
However, the first to be mobilized were not the army, but the laborers that Li Qin had "recruited" from various places during this period. At this time, each of them carried a basket on their back.
The baskets were filled with a lot of soil, and under pressure from the army, they were forced to carry the baskets and rush towards the capital.
He rushed to the moat in front of the capital city wall and poured the soil from his basket into it.
When Wu's soldiers on the city wall saw this, they immediately unleashed a barrage of arrows at the laborers filling in the moat.

Li Qin, on the other hand, was in the best position, observing the changes on the battlefield with a monocular telescope.
