Chapter 100 of the final volume In less than ten days of siege battles, most of the local troops in the Sichuan army had already suffered casualties.
Later, Yang Zhao issued military orders to various counties, and like the previous military orders, local troops were still recruited.
In desperation, the government could only go door-to-door in the local area to catch strong men, and this time they couldn't even provide decent armor and weapons, so they escorted the captured strong men directly to the front line in Jinsha City.
The bloody battle of Jinsha City has been fought for nearly a month, and now it has entered a strange cycle, the main force of the Sichuan Central Army is not directly engaged in the battle at all, and completely puts the local army in front as cannon fodder, and the local army is no longer a Sichuan people, all are Zhenren, and the casualties generated in the battle are basically all Zhenren, and the Sichuan army is the main attacking party, and the Sichuan people are incredibly zero casualties.
Yang Zhao has now made up his mind, that is, he wants to use Zhenren to consume all the rebels in Jinsha City, at least half of them, and then his own army will be fully pressed, and then he can easily take Jinsha City and annihilate the rebels like a whirlwind and clouds.
His idea was very good, and the battle situation became more and more unfavorable to Li Shuwei's Zhen army, although the Zhen army could repel round after round of onslaught attacks of the Sichuan army every day, but they themselves also had casualties, today they were injured 1,800 people, and tomorrow they would be injured hundreds or thousands of people, and the daily accumulation would result in tens of thousands of casualties.
At this point, Yin Li has been away for more than a month, but he has not even seen the shadow of reinforcements, and what is even worse is that the grain and grass in Jinsha City have been seriously consumed.
I don't know how long Yin Li will have to wait to come back, Li Shu can only order the whole army to control the rations, from three meals a day to two meals a day.
The Zhen army in Jinsha City has gradually felt the pressure, and similarly, Yang Zhao outside the city is also under pressure.
His tactics of fighting Zhenren with Zhenren did not get the approval of all the generals of the Sichuan Army, Lu You was one of them, but Lu You and Yang Zhao had a very strong personal relationship, and it was not easy to sing against him in person, so he didn't say much, and the most clear among the generals who opposed Yang Zhao's tactics were Chen Lihua and Chai Song.
During the discussion, the two of them had raised more than once that Yang Zhao's tactics were problematic, and even if he only used it once or twice, it would cause endless trouble, not to mention that he would continue to use it.
Yang Zhao scoffed at the opposition of the two of them, and finally said in public that Chen Lihua and Chai Song were the most unqualified people to talk nonsense in front of him, and the 400,000 people of the Sichuan Central Army were under their command, and only a hundred thousand people were beaten by the rebels, which was not only a humiliation for the Sichuan army, but also a humiliation for the Sichuan country, Chen Lihua and Chai Song were both sinners of the Sichuan country.
As the saying goes, it's not a slap in the face to beat someone, Yang Zhao accused and even humiliated Chen Lihua and Chai Song in public, how could these two stand it, besides, their military ranks were still equal, and Yang Zhao did not have the right to hold them accountable.
Chen Lihua and Chai Song were so angry that if it weren't for the generals who stood up in time to play a round, the two of them would have to fight with Yang Zhao in public.
Later, Chen Lihua and Chai Song jointly wrote a letter to the imperial court, stating what Yang Zhao did here in Jinsha City.
Soon this letter was sent back to Zhaoyang, the capital of Sichuan, and many ministers felt that it was nothing after reading this letter, even if Yang Zhao's means of doing things were a little excessive, but after all, it was for the sake of the soldiers of the Sichuan army, which was understandable.
However, after Xiao Xiang read this letter, she was furious and wrote a reply to Yang Zhao in person.
In the reply, Xiao Xiang scolded Yang Zhao for being reckless, short-sighted, and lacking in foresight.
The Sichuan country did not run away after fighting the land and the people, but to occupy and assimilate, to permanently become the territory of the country of Sichuan, and to assimilate the people from generation to generation into the people of Sichuan.
It's good now, Yang Zhao is self-righteous, forcibly conscripting Zhenren to fight Zhenren, letting Zhenren kill each other, and boasting of being clever, if he continues to do this, I believe that it won't be long before Li Shu's forces have not been eliminated, and a second, third or even more Li Shu will emerge in Zhendi, and then there will be rebellions, when will the Sichuan Kingdom completely quell the rebellion in Zhendi Don't look at Yang Zhao as a great hero who helped Xiao Xiang ascend to the throne, but on issues related to the vital interests of Sichuan, Xiao Xiang was not polite to him at all, and the words in the letter were extremely tough, ordering Yang Zhao to immediately terminate his tactics, repatriate all the forcibly recruited Zhenren, and use the Sichuan army soldiers under his command to directly attack Jinsha City.
To say that Xiao Xiang's stop is timely, however, the damage caused by Yang Zhao's tactics has already been generated, and it can be erased in a moment.
After receiving Xiao Xiang's letter, Yang Zhao also shrank his neck after reading it, even if he only read the letter and didn't see Xiao Xiang himself, he could feel Xiao Xiang's anger between the lines.
Yang Zhao, who had such a strong and tough temperament, still made a compromise after receiving Xiao Xiang's letter, and in accordance with Xiao Xiang's order, all of them were repatriated to the local army He also allocated a part of the military pay for their journey.
After the repatriation of the local army, the Sichuan army began a real siege battle.
On one side was the strong attack of 400,000 troops, and on the other side was the stubborn defense of more than 100,000 troops, and the fierce fighting between the two sides lasted for more than a month.
In this more than a month, the Sichuan army has attacked the head of Jinsha City countless times, and finally was pushed down by the Zhen army countless times, the wall of Jinsha City has been smashed out of the gap countless times, and finally filled in by the corpses of soldiers on both sides countless times.
After more than two months of fierce fighting, the walls of Sands City are already full of holes, and the outside of Sands City is already full of corpses.
Fresh corpses covered the rotting corpses, and then the original fresh corpses gradually decomposed, and were covered with fresher corpses, and the ground was covered with black corpse water, and the smell of blood and foul smell in the air was disgusting.
Now Sands Cotai is like a huge meat grinder, crushing the soldiers on both sides of Chuanzhen every day.
At this time when the first battle of Jinsha City was fought, both the Sichuan army and the Zhen army were exhausted.
The 400,000 army of Sichuan was sharply reduced to more than 200,000, and the 100,000-odd Zhen army was only 70,000 or 80,000 left.
This is a veritable bloody battle with human flesh.
Compared with the Sichuan army, the Zhen army, which was besieged in the city for more than two months, was undoubtedly more difficult.
The grain and grass in the city have long been eaten, and the hungry soldiers of the Zhen army can only eat people, and when the corpses are eaten up, they will eat the wounded soldiers, and when the wounded soldiers have eaten up, they will rush into the city to eat the people The medicine in the city has also been used up, once the current soldiers of the Zhenjun army are injured, there is no medicine at all, they can only do simple bandaging treatment, strong and lucky people may be able to survive, on the contrary, can only sit and wait for the wound inflammation, ulceration, and finally rot, and death of septic blood.
The Zhen army has been resisting the Sichuan army for more than two months, and counting the time when Yin Li left before, it has been nearly three months together, but in these three months, not to mention that there is no shadow of reinforcements, Yin Li has not even sent any news back.
Now the vast majority of the soldiers of the Zhen Army no longer have any expectations for Yin Li, believing that it is false for him to go to Yayue to borrow troops, and he is afraid that the Sichuan army will be powerful and flee from the battle is true.
Li Shu is very hard-mouthed, insisting that Yin Li will never abandon himself, he must be hindered by borrowing troops, and I believe that with his intelligence, he will be able to persuade Yayue in a few days to lead reinforcements back to rescue.
Li Shu said this, but in fact, he was also desperate for Yin Li in his heart.
It's just that he can't say this, at least he has to leave a glimmer of hope for the soldiers under his command, otherwise, his morale will collapse on all fronts, and he will no longer be able to resist the strong attack of the Sichuan army.
Where Yin Li is now was really guessed correctly by the soldiers of the Zhen Army, and he didn't go to Yayue at all.
Knowing that you can't do it, that's not a deviant style.
Previously, Li Shu had borrowed 30,000 soldiers and horses from Yayue, but in the battle of Wangxi Plain, 30,000 Yayue soldiers were defeated.
Tooth Yue has already taken up as many as 30,000 elite people in vain, and now if he asks someone to borrow soldiers, Tooth Yue will not borrow it again no matter what.
The reason why Yin Li said that he was going to Yayue to borrow troops was just to give Li Shu and the soldiers of the whole army a hope, and also to find an excuse for himself to leave Jinsha City.
As time went on, the protracted Sands Cotai battle entered its fourth month, which was also the toughest month of the entire campaign.

The soldiers on both sides were already at the end of their crossbows, and the soldiers on both sides gritted their teeth and plunged into the battle, because the city defense weapons of the Zhen army had been exhausted, and the attacking Sichuan army was easier to attack the city wall, and the number of face-to-face hand-to-hand combat between the two sides also began to increase sharply.
For the Sichuan army, it is very easy to attack the city now, but it is too difficult to attack the city from the city head, opposite the fierce counterattack of the Zhen army, the Sichuan army rushed up to the head of the city and was repelled a wave, often a whole day of fierce fighting, the Sichuan army can hit the city no less than 50 times, but in the end they were all forced back by the Sichuan army.
The hand-to-hand combat between the two sides on the city wall was a good thing for the Zhen army, that is, their food became abundant, and in the following time, the walls of Jinsha City were full of corpses mixed with white bones, and white bones were mixed with corpses, which was no different from hell, which also made the Sichuan soldiers who rushed to the city feel a sense of fear in their hearts.
After the fourth month of the bloody battle in Jinsha City, the strength of the Zhen army was less than 30,000 people, and the remaining Zhen troops were all thin into skinny bones, with deep eye sockets and protruding cheekbones, looking like a terrible ghost, of course, the Sichuan army was not much better, it could not be said that ten battalions were nine empty, at least six or seven empty, most of the company camps that were originally set around the city were empty battalions, and the main forces were concentrated outside the east gate of Jinsha City.
Feeling that the rebels in the city had reached their limit, Yang Zhao now began to plan to make the final blow to the rebels defending the city
