Chapter 357: Sacrifice Strategy
"Although the walls of Yuyang City are not very high, I didn't expect them to be so difficult to attack. The first batch of 40,000 soldiers and horses that attacked the city were unable to make any progress at all."

Rebel generals such as Zhao Ci, Zhang Hu, and Chen Sheng were terrified.

The 40,000 rebel troops commanded by Yang Su personally besieged Yuyang City from all directions. More than half of them were killed or wounded, and they were unable to occupy even a section of the city wall.

With the military support of Yang Su, the best general of the Sui Dynasty, the rebels' combat effectiveness was much higher than that of ordinary Han troops, and was far beyond the reach of the Yellow Turban Army such as Zhang Mancheng.

Originally, Zhao Ci and others believed that even if they could not capture the city in one fell swoop, they could at least take down a section of the city wall and see hope of breaking through the city.

But now it seems that there is no hope of even breaking the city.

The first batch of 40,000 rebels who attacked the city were unable to capture Yuyang City, their morale collapsed, and they retreated.

However, what was waiting for them was the supervision teams of Sui army generals such as Han Qinhu and He Ruobi, teams of swordsmen and axemen full of murderous intent.

"Anyone who escapes from the battlefield will be killed without mercy!"

Han Qinhu held a thick-backed broadsword and killed a retreating rebel with one blow!
The executioners showed no mercy to the defeated rebels, killing them all, and blood flowed like a river.

All the defeated rebels were killed by the supervisory team.

There were 40,000 rebels, and not a single one survived.

The rest of the rebels were all terrified.

Ruthless, too ruthless.

If we fail to capture the city, we will all die.

Even Zhao Ci, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were horrified.

They thought that Yang Su's use of 800 soldiers as sacrifices in front of the battlefield was cruel enough, but compared with Yang Su's other methods, sacrificing the flag before the battle was already a mild method.

This time, Yang Su caused 40,000 rebels to die meaninglessly.

"Brother, isn't this too cruel?"

Zhao Ci looked at the greatest emperor in history with trepidation. Even he thought that Yang Su's behavior was too cruel.

"The fun has just begun. Just wait and see. I will conquer this city no matter what."

The greatest emperor of all time sneered.

He is Yang Su's lord and is able to see Yang Su's character panel. The terrifying side of Yang Su as the number one general of the Sui Dynasty is truly revealed.

"The second batch of troops, attack the city."

Yang Su ruthlessly issued an order, ordering the second batch of 80,000 rebels to push the siege equipment and replace the first batch of troops that were wiped out to continue the siege.

"kill!"

"If we don't take the city, none of us will survive. Now we have to fight to the death!"

The 80,000 rebels thought of the fate of the first siege troops, and they were ready to die and attacked at the risk of their lives.

In their view, if they could capture the city, they would still have a chance to survive, but if they retreated, they would be treated as deserters and be beheaded by Yang Su's supervision team, and they would surely die.

"The morale of the rebels has improved."

"Not only that, the rebels' attack power has also increased."

Li Qian's scalp felt numb.

Under normal circumstances, if the attacking party suffers heavy losses, it will affect the morale of the entire army, and eventually the army will collapse and be forced to retreat.

However, under Yang Su's iron-blooded tactics, the rebels became more and more crazy, and their combat effectiveness was constantly improving. As a result, Yuyang City might not be able to be defended.

Yang Su's character traits are really horrible, and his shortcomings are also obvious - he is a bit exhausting.

In the pre-war sacrifice, eight hundred people were beheaded.

In the first round of siege, 40,000 people were sacrificed. In the second round of siege, Yang Su still did not send Han Qinhu, He Ruobi, Yang Lin, Dong Ping, Shan Xiongxin and other fierce generals, which means that the 80,000 rebels in the second round were likely to be cannon fodder.

That is to say, because the number of rebels was large, Yang Su was able to maximize the effect of his character traits.

If the emperor's own troops were to be killed in two rounds of sacrifice, with 120,000 men killed, the foundation of the emperor would be shaken.

"Go straight to Huanglong!"

"Heaven and earth are cut apart with one sword!"

"The wind blows the willows back!"

"Total Annihilation!"

"Dominate the world!"

Li Qian was trapped in Yuyang City at this time and could only hold on. Faced with the rebels' second and more frenzied offensive, Li Qian, Li Xiuning, Xue Rengui, Shi Wansui, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Ming, Hua Rong and other brave generals had to make every effort to try to expel the rebels who had climbed the city.

Weapons were knocked away one after another. Xue Rengui's Fang Tian Huaji, with its unstoppable and amazing force, shook away the enemy's weapons and swept a row of enemy soldiers directly off the city wall. The latter only had time to let out a wail before they were smashed to pieces.

"drink."

Xue Rengui shouted loudly, turned around and swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji, knocking away the weapon of a rebel who was trying to launch a sneak attack on him. With a flash of cold light, another rebel was killed.

Xue Rengui thrust his halberd with all his might, knocking another rebel flying.

He looked at the rebel formations outside the city that spread to the sky.

When the second echelon of 80,000 rebels attacked the city, the third echelon of 160,000 rebels were ready to go, and their murderous aura reached the sky.

The 160,000 rebels looked nervously at the friendly forces attacking the city ahead.

If the second batch of 80,000 people fail to capture Yuyang City, it will be their turn to go into battle.

With Yang Su's iron-blooded methods, they had no doubt that if they failed to capture Yuyang City, the survivors of the third batch of 160,000 rebels would be killed by the supervision team.

"Almost. All the generals, prepare to go into battle."

When Yang Su saw that the second batch of 80,000 rebels were fighting fiercely with the defenders, they attacked the city desperately to survive, causing considerable casualties to Li Qian's defenders and also consuming the physical strength of Li Qian, Xue Rengui, Shi Wansui, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and other generals. Knowing that the time was ripe, he ordered Han Qinhu, He Ruobi, Yang Lin, Dong Ping, Shan Xiongxin, Liu Tang and other generals to join the third batch of siege troops.

Currently, there are only 700,000 rebels assembled outside Yuyang City. If the third batch of 160,000 rebels are also used as cannon fodder, the rebels will lose a total of 280,000 troops.

Even if Yang Su used ruthless means, he would not easily use up all his troops.

If Zhao Ci, Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng and others were killed and their troops were annexed, these rebels would become the military force of an emperor throughout the ages, so Yang Su could not continue to offer sacrifices wantonly.

Yang Su estimated that the third round of offensive would be enough to capture Yuyang City.

"Hahaha, is it finally our turn to play?"

"We were summoned from Jiangdu City by our Lord just for this battle, right?"

"As long as we help the Lord eliminate this great threat, we will be rewarded."

Among the Sui army generals, some new faces appeared.

So far, they have not appeared in the confrontation between the Greatest Emperor of All Time and Li Qian.

They are responsible for guarding the main city of "Jiangdu", the greatest emperor of all time, and also for guarding against invasions from lord players from Yingchuan County.

Bordering Nanyang County is Yingchuan County, where there are also powerful lord players.

In order to ensure the success of the duel with Li Qian, the emperor of all ages took the risk of transferring all his capable generals from the rear, in order to completely defeat Li Qian, his most powerful rival.

If we lose, there is no point in staying behind.
