Chapter 1338 The Will to Win

At this time, ordinary people who have not received much training going up the city wall are actually just sending themselves to death, or in other words, using their lives to consume the enemy's ammunition.

After all, from the end of June to the beginning of August, it has been more than a month. In such a long time, if the city is not built tall and solid, it would have been forcibly blown open by ordinary cities.

Tianjue Pass is different from Yingtian City. Tianjue Pass has a moat, and there are people squatting on it all the time, so there is no chance for people to pile up explosives below and directly blow down the city wall.

But even so, the bunkers on the top of the city wall have been flattened by cannons in more than a month, and there is no place to hide.

Soldiers who have been trained enough know how to do it more safely in this situation, but those who are used as cannon fodder are not.

And Sun Yuantai did this just to preserve his own strength to the greatest extent and consume the enemy's strength, even if he did so, what awaits him is eternal infamy.

Zhao Cheng only accumulated three years of wealth, and all kinds of resources cannot be unlimited.

If it drags on for a long time, Zhao Cheng may not withdraw his troops.

Although Sun Yuantai himself knows that this idea is unlikely to be realized, he still has such a thought.

But the reality is that the war potential of the Southern Wilderness is far more terrible than Sun Yuantai thought.

Zhao Cheng's three years of accumulation is not just a simple accumulation of resources, but more importantly, the accumulation of people's hearts and even relying on the subtle influence of magic, these three years are comparable to ten years, or even more than ten years of work.

In this case, when the war broke out, the industrial base that Zhao Cheng had built in the past three years was also operating in an overloaded situation.

The workers, without merit, took the initiative to work for more than twelve hours a day, far exceeding the prescribed working hours.

Even many people took the initiative to cut back on clothing and diet so that the extra resources could be sent to the front line.

And every time the war in Qingzhou was transmitted back to the Southern Wilderness through special channels and spread, every victory would attract waves of warm cheers.

The emotions here are very complicated, and everyone's emotions are different.

An old farmer cheered because his sons died in the heavy labor of Da Cang. They were exhausted and starved to death. As for the reason, the laborers not only did not care about food, but even raised the price of food. They were not allowed to bring their own food, so they could only buy it there. Those who had no money could only starve to death.

If you secretly bring food with you and are found out, you will be beaten to death.

Although this kind of thing is done secretly by the people below, the people above cannot be unaware of it.

The old farmer originally thought that the emperor and those high officials were deceived by the jackals below, but in the past few years, he realized that the adults above knew it, and the stories in the opera were all fake, and the people above just pretended not to know.

After all, the lives of ants are not lives. Even if people die, it can effectively solve the problem of insufficient land. Too many young and strong people are unstable factors and need to be consumed.

After knowing this, he knew who he should hate, instead of not knowing who to hate as he did before, when several sons died.

A middle-aged man cheered because his son, who had done nothing, was arrested as a thief just because he looked a bit like a thief and sent to take the blame. It was useless for him to ask for mercy. Later, his son was beheaded. The only thing he could do was to spend all his family wealth to buy back his son's body.

He cheered because the court that killed his son was being beaten, and also because the new country gave him fairness.

Therefore, at this critical moment, he would rather not rest, but work hard and focus on production.

Because he had a fire in his heart, the fire of hatred.

And a small person like him did not have the courage to go to the battlefield, otherwise, he should have resisted at the beginning.

But now, he was given the opportunity to take revenge, even if it was only indirect...

There were also young people cheering, but they were young, learned things quickly, deeply realized the corruption of Da Cang, and urgently wanted to build a new world...

In the matter of the Northern Expedition, the entire Southern Wilderness was so united that Zhao Cheng really didn't know how he could fail in this situation? !

Even if the troops on the front line were finished, he would raise his arms and immediately have another million troops!

However, in that case, it would undoubtedly move the basic situation.

And Sun Yuantai couldn't know this situation, because he didn't understand how cruel this world was to the lowest ants.

The world's great governance and the people's peaceful and prosperous life that he pursued when he was young were just a dream of the scholar-official class, which was completely out of touch with reality.

Outside Tianjue Pass, Zhao Cheng stood on a high ground and looked at Tianjue Pass in the distance. After such a long time, it was already a mixture of blood, fire and smoke, with broken walls and ruins.

Under the city, there were also many corpses, but they were the soldiers on his side. There was no time to collect their corpses, and they could not be collected.

A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. In a war, there is no way that there will be no deaths.

However, with Zhao Cheng's current achievements and military strength, if he took the initiative to lead the charge, Tianjue Pass would have been broken a few days ago, and his losses would have been smaller.

But Zhao Cheng did not do so.

Instead, he stayed in the rear to command and let his generals and soldiers attack the city.

As for the purpose, it is naturally to train soldiers!

Among the millions of troops under his command, there are not many real veterans, and there has been no war for several years. Not only the soldiers, but also the generals are a little tired.

This kind of thing is undoubtedly a taboo in military strategy.

He wants to conquer the world, and the soldiers and generals under his command must not be tired.

Therefore, this battle is for him to use blood and fire to open the front for his soldiers and generals!

Only by sharpening the edge can the troops under his command be able to stand on their own in the future.

Otherwise, if he conquers the world in the future, he can't do everything by himself.

After more than a month of anxiety, tens of thousands of his soldiers and horses have died and more than 100,000 have been injured. Of course, Sun Yuantai's losses are even greater, and now there are probably only about 400,000.

If not for this, Sun Yuantai would not drive the people to the city wall.

At this point, there is no doubt that Zhao Cheng's training has been completed, and the troops in his hands have shown their edge.

And the next step is naturally the time to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

It's time to let the world see what it means to be invincible.

After today, the courage of the Overlord will become a thing of the past.

"Pass my military order, I will lead the entire army to launch a general attack tomorrow!"

Zhao Cheng issued the military order, and immediately, the generals on both sides knelt on one knee and said, "Yes!"

As for Zhao Cheng's decision to do it himself, no one dissuaded him, because they knew how terrible Zhao Cheng's military power was.

At the same time, no one doubted that the city could not be broken tomorrow!

Whether it was the generals or the soldiers, when they heard this order, they couldn't suppress their hearts and gave birth to a desire to win!
