Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 524: Chapter 220: Your Brother-in-Law Is the Eldest Imperial Son! Do Something for Your Brother-in-Law! (Part 3)

“At least it will take another half a month,” Yue Cheng immediately replied.

“Half a month.”

“Can Yuyang hold on?” Qing Qin sighed inwardly.

At this moment!

“Shangjiangjun.”

“The Qin Army seems to be preparing to release arrows.”

An observing commander reported loudly.

“As expected, it is still the Qin Army’s usual tactic.”

“In a siege battle, the arrow storm comes first.”

“Send the order down, defend against the arrows,” Qing Qin shouted loudly.

Regarding the arrows from Qin, besides preparing to defend, he had no other means.

After all, under the barrage of arrows, nearly half of the city was covered.

“Kill!”

Zhao Feng drew his sword, pointed at Yuyang City, and shouted.

“Wind, wind, wind.”

“Strong wind.”

Nearly 300,000 Qin soldiers shouted in unison.

Under the shouts of the wind.

The Qin archers lined in front of the city drew their bows and set their arrows.

Countless arrow rains were released towards the city.

Violent rain of pear blossoms, arrow rain in the air.

Just like in previous siege battles.

The Yan Army in the city faced this arrow rain with great fear, praying inwardly.

And this time, the arrow rain not only carried lethal intent, but many arrows were also tied with fabric.

When many of the Yan Army were killed in the city, many also saw the fabric on the arrows.

“Look quickly, there’s fabric tied on these Qin arrows.”

“There are words on it.”

“Quick, see what it says?”

…

“It says Qin invades our Yan because the King of Yan sent assassins, Qin has a justified reason.”

“Could the rumors be true, did our Great King really send someone to assassinate the King of Qin?”

“If it is this way, our Yan truly has no justification, Qin has a justified reason.”

“What should we do?”

“Qin’s reason is justified, Qi and Chu won’t send troops, our Yan cannot be a match for Qin.”

…

Upon reading the contents on the fabric, this information spread quickly.

On the city tower.

“Shangjiangjun, the Qin Army is using psychological warfare.” A commander holding a bloodstained piece of fabric walked up to Qing Qin and respectfully handed it over.

Qing Qin took it.

There were not many words on the fabric.

Only a line written in Yan script: “Yan country betrays, assassinates our King! Qin Sharp Soldiers, come for revenge! Surrender and be spared, resist and be killed!”

“Zhao Feng.”

“What a clever tactic.”

“Using this method to disturb our army’s morale.”

Qing Qin glanced at it and sighed.

“Shangjiangjun, what should we do about this?”

“With this move from the Qin Army, our army’s morale has greatly diminished. Once the Qin Army launches their attack, our forces will struggle to resist,” a nearby commander said worriedly.

“Pass down my order.”

“If any fabric on the Qin arrows is found, it must not be read, and each Wuzhang should immediately collect and burn them.”

“Anyone daring to spread it will be dealt with according to military law,” Qing Qin said coldly.

“Yes.”

The commander immediately took the order.

“The message has already spread, this is nothing but a temporary solution,” Yue Cheng said.

“If it spreads unchecked, the impact will be greater.”

“We will take it one step at a time.”

“Once reinforcements arrive, there might still be a chance,” Qing Qin sighed inwardly.

Seeing this, Yue Cheng said nothing more.

At this time.

Qing Qin suddenly turned his head, staring at Yue Cheng: “General Yue Cheng, will you serve to the death for our Yan?”

Yue Cheng was startled, immediately responding: “What does General Qing mean?”

“In the past when Zhao state invaded, you, General Yue, surrendered to Zhao.”

“Before I came to Yuyang, the Great King naturally had some concerns,” Qing Qin said coldly.

His words were full of admonition.

“Please rest assured, General Qing, Yue Cheng is willing to serve to the death for our Yan,” Yue Cheng immediately stated his position.

Seeing this.

Qing Qin smiled: “I naturally trust General Yue Cheng.”

“However.”

“For the survival of our Yan.”

“I ask General Yue Cheng to first relinquish military power.”

“The command of the 100,000 troops you lead will be transferred to me,” Qing Qin continued.

As soon as he finished speaking.

The surrounding trusted aides watched Yue Cheng like a tiger watches its prey.

And the trusted aides beside Yue Cheng naturally did the same.

The two Shangjiangjun of the Yan state seem ready to clash at any moment.

However.

Looking at the situation.

Yue Cheng ultimately backed down.

“Since the Great King has appointed General Qing to command the entire army, I will naturally comply.”

Yue Cheng slowly said.

“Thus.”

“Once the Qin Army is repelled, I will certainly commend General Yue.” Qing Qin smiled with satisfaction.

This confrontation ultimately ended with him as the primary victor.

“King of Yan.”

“Even now, you still don’t trust me.”

“Back then, the reason I surrendered to Zhao was all because your logistical supply was inadequate, and reinforcements never came.”

“If I hadn’t surrendered, the hundred thousand troops would have been massacred by the Zhao Jun.”

“Yan state couldn’t have preserved a hundred thousand strong troops.”

“And yet now you blame me.” Yue Cheng was extremely frustrated at the moment, but ultimately could only feel helpless in his heart.

“General Yue.”

“Please return to your residence.”

“There’s no need for you to worry about the defense of Yuyang.”

Qing Qin pointed to the city below.

It was clear.

Qing Qin intended to confine Yue Cheng.

And the latter had no means to change it.

Above the void.

Qin arrows were continuously shot.

The city was filled with wails.

In the blink of an eye!

Night fell.

Inside the Qin Camp!

Zhao Feng sat in the main seat, with three main generals seated inside the tent.

“Tomorrow.”

“It will still be the usual siege tactics of Our Wu’an Battalion.”

“Stone Throwing Machines and the archers will secure the formation, with fifty thousand Vanguard Army at the front, tearing through Yuyang City’s defenses, followed by a cavalry charge.”

“I will lead the vanguard.”

Zhao Feng slowly said.

“Understood.”

Tu Sui and Zhang Han said in unison.

Only Li You was still somewhat uncomfortable.

Clearly, he still didn’t know the true strength of Zhao Feng, nor that this was the consistent tactic of the Wu’an Military Camp.

“However.”

“Tonight.”

“There might be a different choice.”

“Yue Cheng, do you know anything about him?” Zhao Feng looked at the three of them.

“Reporting to Shangjiangjun.”

“I have some understanding of Yue Cheng.” Li You immediately said.

“Speak.”

Zhao Feng waved his hand.

“This man was once the Shangjiangjun of Yan, with a status higher than Qing Qin, but in the past, when the Zhao state attacked Yan, Lian Po surrounded Yue Cheng’s hundred thousand troops on the border with two hundred thousand troops, Yan Army’s supplies were cut off, and no reinforcements came to rescue. Yue Cheng realized that continuing to fight would result in needless casualties.”

“Therefore, he ordered a surrender.”

“It is because of this that Yue Cheng became known as the most renowned traitor in the world, and the highest-ranking traitor.” Li You respectfully said.

“Hmm.” Zhao Feng nodded.

At this moment.

Zhang Ming walked in quickly from outside the tent.

“Shangjiangjun.”

“There is intel from Yuyang City.” Zhang Ming respectfully handed over a secret report.

After opening it and taking a look.

A smile appeared on Zhao Feng’s face: “As I expected, Qing Qin has taken Yue Cheng’s military power. Yue Cheng can be won over to help our Qin breach the city.”

Zhang Han immediately asked in surprise: “Shangjiangjun, with Yue Cheng stripped of military power, how could he help our Qin breach the city?”

“I don’t believe Yue Cheng won’t have any backup plans.” Zhao Feng smiled faintly.

He then looked at Zhang Ming: “Have the brothers in the city try to win over Yue Cheng, offer him high rank and great rewards, and agree to whatever conditions he wants.”

“Understood.” Zhang Ming went to carry it out immediately.

“Shangjiangjun.”

“I feel that Yue Cheng is not trustworthy.”

Li You said hesitantly.

“Who told you I would trust him?” Zhao Feng chuckled.

“Then why is Shangjiangjun sending people to win him over?” Li You was puzzled.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Zhang Han and Tu Sui instantly understood.

“Shangjiangjun is wise.”

They immediately bowed, faces full of admiration.

After pondering for a moment, Li You also quickly understood.

“Shangjiangjun is brilliant!”
