Following Ganxing, Xun Xia was also summoned by Ying Qian to the South City Gate Tower and scolded him severely.

Xun Xia felt a little unfair about this. Who would have thought that the Dongliang defenders would launch a raid just before dawn? He clearly took his soldiers and his troops to guard him all night.

"Despicable Shaoliang people!"

The moment he walked out of the South City Gate Tower with relief, Xun Xia looked resentfully in the direction of the East City Gate and cursed in a low voice.

At this moment, the despicable Shaoliang people and the despicable Wei people were inspecting the recaptured earth wall.

During this period, the despicable Wei people, no, were Wei Xiayangjun, who seemed to have a deep meaning to Li He: "After this battle, what will happen to Shaoliang? Have General Li Wubai considered this matter?"

There were also differences in the Wei Dynasty regarding Shaoliang and Herong. Some people advocated sacrificing Shaoliang and Herong for the interests of Wei State to avoid going to war with Qin and Zhao State at the same time; while others advocated reinforce Shaoliang and Herong, and did not hesitate to go to war with Qin and Zhao State at the same time, and also to safeguard the face of Wei State as the sect leader. They must not sit idly by and watch Shaoliang and Herong, the two vassal states, the Shaoliang and Herong, were annexed by Qin State.

As the general of Wei who was stationed in Yuanli City, Xia Yangjun actually tended to send troops to reinforce. After all, his meaning in Hexi is to stop Qin. If both Shaoliang and Herong were annexed by Qin, then there would be no point in him to station Yuanli again - of course, he could not defend himself even if he wanted to.

But unfortunately, Anyi finally chose to sacrifice Herong and Shaoliang for the sake of the interests of Wei.

This was not a big deal at first. After all, Herong and Shaoliang were small countries that rely on Wei. As long as the two countries were obedient, the worst thing would be that after Wei cleaned up Zhao, Wei would help the two countries regain their territory and rebuild their country. Could it be that the two countries would not be grateful to Wei at that time, but instead would be in love with Qin?

No matter how you think about it, you won’t lose money!

But now Xia Yangjun has noticed the problem.

Given that Wei State did not send reinforcements, several important figures in Shaoliang all had grudges against Wei State, such as Dongliang Jun, Zhai Hu, and the Li Wubai General in front of him.

Although Li He's position is still only 500 generals, Xia Yang Jun will not really treat this young man as an ordinary 500 generals.

On the contrary, only looking at the attitude of Zhai Hu, Dongliang Jun and Liang Ji towards Li He, and only looking at the support and trust of Shaoliang's army for Li He, Xia Yang Jun has no doubt that this young man will inevitably become an important figure in Shaoliang after this battle, and may even be promoted from 500 people to a scholar-official and govern a city alone.

After all, when this young man was boosting morale the night before yesterday, he mentioned many policies such as water control and terraces. It can be seen that this person not only knows how to train troops and fight, but also knows how to govern the country. With Xia Yangjun’s understanding of Dongliangjun, how could the latter bury such talents?

However, it was this young man who was obviously from Wei who was intentionally or unintentionally splitting Wei and Shaoliang, as if he wanted to get Shaoliang out of his identity as a vassal state of Wei. What made Xia Yang Jun even more uneasy was that Dongliang Jun and Zhai Hu tacitly acquiesced to the young man's actions and refused to respond to this.

Therefore, taking advantage of today's opportunity, Xia Yangjun also wanted to find out from Li He's side and see what attitude he had towards the Wei State.

In fact, Xia Yangjun was not wrong in guessing. Li He really wanted to get Shaoliang out of his vassal state. After all, as I said that night, from the moment Liang Ji accepted his suggestion, he decided to contribute his strength to Shaoliang and regard Shaoliang as his country. Since that is the case, how could he hope that Shaoliang will continue to be merciless by the State of Wei?

To put it nicely, Shaoliang is a vassal state of Wei, which can be said to be ugly. Whether it is Shaoliang or Herong, they are just sacrifices of Wei's resistance to Qin. It is precisely because Wei is very clear that Qin will not give up capturing Hexi and concluded that the land where Shaoliang and Herong are located cannot develop steadily, so they did not annex Herong and Shaoliang, but only accepted the two countries as vassal states and became buffer zones between Wei and Qin.

Otherwise, even if you are criticized by the world and get criticized, what is it?

Now that Li He has chosen Shaoliang, he naturally wants to change this matter. First of all, he must make Shaoliang independent and not be controlled by Wei or Qin.

Of course, you can't be anxious about this matter, and you can't force it. You just slowly planned it, but you didn't expect it to be seen by Xia Yangjun.

Faced with Xia Yangjun's temptation, Li He said quietly: "If I, Shaoliang, can survive this battle, first of all, will naturally rebuild the country in the ruins, then build water conservancy and develop agricultural affairs..."

Xia Yang Jun was obviously not satisfied with Li He talking about him, and said bluntly: "I mean Shao Liang's position, between Wei and Qin."

Hearing this, Li He smiled and said, "This matter must be decided by Shaojun, Dongliangjun, and Zhai Sima. There are only 500 generals in the lower area, and I really dare not..."

"Li Wu Hundred Generals." Xia Yangjun raised his hand to interrupt Li He's words and said seriously: "Please believe that I have good intentions towards Shaoliang. When I learned that Anyi would not send troops to reinforce Hexi, I also sent a letter to persuade him, but unfortunately I failed to persuade our king. Shaoliang sent someone to ask for assistance before, and I immediately abandoned Yuanli to reinforce Dongliang..."

Looking at Xia Yangjun's serious expression, Li He thought for a moment, and chuckled and said, "Qin State sent troops to invade my Shaoliang, causing countless people to die in Shaoliang. Xia Yang Jun thought that my Shaoliang would have any interaction with Qin State in the future?"

Hearing this, Xia Yang Jun seemed to be still dissatisfied and was about to speak something before suddenly hearing a warning from the soldiers from a distance: "Qin Army! Qin Army is about to attack!"

The Qin army was about to attack, so Xia Yang Jun naturally couldn't talk to Li He about future events, so he could only watch Li He say goodbye and leave.

"I don't get close to Qin, but I didn't say I want to get close to Wei..."

Looking at the backs of Li He and the strange soldiers leaving, Xia Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Woo--"

"Woo--"

"Woo--"

The horn of the Qin army's attack sounded in the city walls of Dongliang.

As the horn sounded, the Qin army launched a fierce attack on Xiguo, Dongguo and the inner wall on the south side again.

However, just like yesterday, the Dongliang defenders on three battlefields were firmly defending. The Qin army attacked for a full half day, until around noon, and then they regained the first earth walls of Xiguo and Dongguo, and also regained the Xicheng Gate and Dongcheng Gate.

"Occurrence! Continue to attack!"

The commander of the Qin army, Ying Qian, issued an order at the South City Gate Tower and continued to order the attack.

Therefore, Ganxing used the west gate tower as a stronghold and sent troops to attack the north wall along the northern section of the city wall, while urging the Qin army in the lower city wall to continue attacking the second earth wall.

On the other hand, Xun Xia from the East City Gate Tower was the same. He attacked the North City Wall along the northern section of the city wall and attacked the second earth wall.

Faced with the Qin army's pressing step by step, although the Dongliang defenders on the east and west sides were forced to abandon one earth wall after another, the Qin army also paid an extremely heavy casualties.

As of dusk, the Qin army suffered more than 10,000 casualties in a single day.

After the casualties were sent to the head coach Ying Qian, Ying Qian was furious and summoned the generals such as Gongsun Jia, Gan Xing, Xun Xia and others to scold him: "I have never heard of such heavy casualties after breaking through the enemy city walls! If I hadn't been very clear about our army attacking Dongliang, I would probably think it was attacking Anyi!!"

Attacking Anyi, there are more than these casualties...

The generals muttered in their hearts, but they lowered their heads and dared not reply.

They also understood that the casualties were indeed a bit exaggerated just by attacking a small country's city.

It was explained by Dongliang's previous situation that he had insisted on the city, but now that the Qin army has attacked the city, there are still such a large number of casualties, which is really unreasonable.

Seeing that the generals bowed their heads and said nothing, Ying Qian got angry and gradually calmed down.

He said calmly, "I won't talk about the others. I will definitely strengthen my garrison tonight. It is impossible for Dongliang to take advantage of it!"

"Yes!" The generals retreated with fists.

At this time, the Qin army had already started to make rice in the city, and the inner city once again heard the girl's singing.

Like yesterday, Liang Ji was the first to play and sing the Qin folk song "Jian Jia".

When the melodious piano music and the girl's singing rang out, not only the Dongliang defenders were listening quietly, but the Qin soldiers who were busy in the outer city stopped what they were in their hands again, looked up and listened carefully.

Since Liang Ji's singing became intermittent when it reached the outer city, sometimes not, almost most of the Qin generals pricked up their ears and listened carefully, listening to the songs while missing their relatives and lovers in their hometown.

A feeling of homesickness quickly spread among the Qin army in the city.

Seeing this scene, Qin general Gongsun Jia frowned.

He has been through the battle for a long time and knows very well that when the soldiers begin to miss their relatives in their hometown, it means that they cannot devote all their minds to the battle in front of them, which means that their fighting spirit is gradually being weakened.

But Gongsun Jia had no good idea about this, and he could not even stop his soldiers from listening to the Qin folk songs that were spread in the city, so as not to arouse morale and resentment.

"We must strengthen the offensive and attack Shaoliang as soon as possible, otherwise, this battle will probably become increasingly difficult to fight..."

He murmured in a low voice.

No one would have thought that the Qin State's 200,000 troops attacked a Shaoliang Xiao Kingdom and encountered such obstacles in the first city.

At the same time, Li He, Zheng Hou, Fan Hu and others were standing on the inner wall on the south side to look at the Qin army in the outer city.

Zheng Hou said to Li He: "After the attack last night, the Qin army will inevitably strengthen its defense tonight. Will it still attack?"

"Um."

Li He nodded with a serious expression.

Dongliang is just a small city, and there is almost no depth in the city. This determines that the Dongliang defenders must launch a counterattack every night to regain the position that was lost in Baizhou, otherwise they will retreat the next day and be completely surrounded by the Qin army.

This means that even if the Qin army is prepared, it must attack.

From the side, Fan Hu hesitated and said: "We have to defend the Qin army's attack during the day, and we have to take the initiative to attack at night. I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to hold on..."

Li He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If you can't hold on, you have to hold on. The outcome of this battle depends on who we and the Qin army can last until the end!"

Zheng Hou and Fan Hu looked at each other and nodded silently.

Around midnight that night, Li He and Zheng Hou broke out from the inner wall on the east side again and raided Dongguo and Dongchengmen. Xia Yangjun, Du Liang, and Hua Jia and other generals also launched a raid at the same time.

Although the Qin army in Dongguo was prepared, under the fierce attack of the surprise troops and the Dongliang defenders, they could not resist and once again gave in to Bai Zhou's achievements.

At that time, Ying Qian was also shocked by Dongguo's shouts and shouts. He looked at Dongguo's battle near the South City Gate Tower with a calm face. When the Dongliang defenders regained the Dongcheng Gate and the earthen walls again, Ying Qian was so angry that his chest felt a tingling pain.

At this time, he had clearly realized that his Qin army had actually fallen into a quagmire after attacking Dongliang City.
