The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

"The Zhoufu Army is divided into three groups and ambushed outside the three city gates. The Huaining Army will send troops to assist everywhere! Tonight, we will leave them here..."

After he gave the order, all the generals in the big tent looked at each other with astonishment on their faces!

"My dear son-in-law, are you so sure that old man Guan Yizhi will break through tonight?!" Chu Xinghe stepped forward and said to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "The Dashi army has lost its morale. The longer it drags on, the weaker its combat effectiveness will be. Moreover, internal strife may break out at any time. If we don't break out immediately, they may not have a chance to do so!"

"Then won't Guan Yizhi try to persuade his soldiers? After all, they are waiting for reinforcements from the Daxi Dynasty!" Ning Zhen asked in confusion.

"Waiting for reinforcements? They must have been waiting for reinforcements for a long time! No one knows when the reinforcements will arrive. If it was before today, they might have been able to use the reinforcements to stabilize the morale of the army!"

"But after today, the damage to the city gate and the fact that we can attack the city at any time will put pressure on them. They will have to be on guard against our attack at any time."

"The greatest sense of oppression is that people are on the brink of death and may die at any time, but this death has not come. This kind of psychological pressure can easily make people collapse."

"If Guan Yizhi doesn't leave tonight, I'm afraid that by tomorrow morning, the Dashi Army will be in civil strife!"

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, everyone gasped and looked at Jiang Fan with a hint of fear. Jiang Fan controlled people's hearts so accurately. He was simply a demon.

Everyone followed Jiang Fan's orders and began to make arrangements! They just wanted to see if everything Jiang Fan said would come true!

Outside the city, the army was still singing the ballads of Daxi, but now a new group of people had started singing!

Inside the city, Guan Yizhi and a group of generals had deep fear in their eyes!

The Dashi Army was in a dead silence, all the soldiers were in low spirits, and some people's eyes were already flashing with different lights. This was a dangerous signal.

"Marshal... our army's morale has fallen! What should we do now?" The deputy marshal looked at Guan Yizhi with deep worry in his eyes.

The other generals also nodded.

"Marshal, many people in the army are crying, and many are agitated. If we don't find a solution, I'm afraid it will cause a mutiny!"

"Yes, Marshal, we can't delay any longer... Even if we repeatedly emphasize that reinforcements will arrive soon, I'm afraid we can't hold out for a few days."

"Marshal, the city gate is damaged. Although we have arranged a large number of people to block the city gate, but..." another person said, and at this point he hesitated to speak.

When the others heard this, they also looked worried. Although the city gate was guarded, it would be difficult to repair it in a short period of time.

Moreover, if the Yan army attacked the city by force, they would be unable to stop them at all. The horrific killing weapon was too powerful. Once it was fired, the soldiers at the city gate would probably be blown to pieces in an instant.

Not only was the morale of the army shaken, but in terms of strength, they were no match for the Yan army. The other side's horrific killing weapons intimidated all the Dashi army members.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yizhi clenched his fists and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Even though he had been confronting Chu Yan'er's army until now, he had never felt such powerlessness.

But ever since Jiang Fan arrived, after just a short meeting, he felt that he was completely suppressed by the other party.

The enemy was too terrifying and too good at controlling people's hearts. They blasted open the city gates but did not attack the city, which put invisible pressure on them and made them sing songs from their hometown.

Once people are at their most vulnerable, and their deepest desires are aroused, then... how much fighting spirit can they still have? !

"Pass the order down, break out tonight!" Guan Yizhi said to the generals with a sigh.

Now, he could only retreat. If he continued to fight, he would only suffer a more miserable defeat. As for using the people of the city as a threat, he had thought about it, but... would it be useful?

His army was demoralized, and he had missed the chance to use the people as a threat. If things went wrong, his perverse behavior might even cause civil unrest in the army.

Upon hearing this, the generals looked at each other, with helplessness, reluctance, and a hint of relief and joy in their eyes.

The deputy commander said at this time: "General! How can we break out with 280,000 people? If we go through one city gate, we will only be blocked in the city."

They originally had a force of over 300,000, but after several attempts, more than 20,000 of them died. Now, there are only more than 280,000 people left in the city!

Guan Yizhi frowned when he heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"All four city gates will be used together. I will go through the east gate! Seventy thousand troops per gate!"

The generals around him changed their expressions when they heard this. The four city gates were evenly divided, with exactly 70,000 people at each gate. However, the troops of Dayan outside the other city gates were obviously weaker.

If the commander wants to charge directly at the East Gate, 70,000 men are obviously not enough. Moreover, the East Gate is where the enemy's main camp is located. Rushing there at this time would be tantamount to seeking death!

"Marshal...you can't do that..." The generals hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

Hearing this, Guan Yizhi shook his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "No... I will take charge of the East Gate... If possible, I really want to meet the King of Qin! Have a fight!"

The generals wanted to persuade him again, but Guan Yizhi stopped them.

"Go down, and start the action at midnight tonight!"

Guan Yizhi knew that he couldn't delay any longer. If he delayed any further, he would only fall into a passive position. If he broke through at this time, he could still save most of his strength. If he delayed any longer, he would have no chance.

He knew that this was Jiang Fan's plan, and he even knew that Jiang Fan would definitely stop them tonight. But facing such a conspiracy, he had to get involved.

Jiang Fan had forced him into a corner with no way out. Even if there was a huge pit in front of him, he had to jump in. That was why he had to go through the east gate.

He wanted to see how capable this King of Qin, who had forced him into a desperate situation, was.

Time passed little by little, and at midnight, the four gates of Jiangyue City were quietly opened, and the Dai Yue soldiers quickly walked out of the city.

Far away outside the city gate, pairs of eyes in the darkness were looking at the light coming out of the city gate. Soldiers coming out of it could be vaguely seen, and all of them had sharp eyes like eagles.

In the camp at the east gate, Jiang Fan looked at the Dashi Army coming out of the east gate with calm eyes. Zhong Ling, the Chu brothers, and Chu Yan'er who were standing beside him had slightly strange expressions.

Everyone looked at Jiang Fan with shock in their eyes. The other generals, such as Ning Zhen and Chu Xinghe, who were lying in ambush outside the other three city gates, breathed heavily when they saw the Great Western Dynasty coming out.

Sure enough, Jiang Fan guessed right! The Dashi Army was really ready to escape with all their might. They couldn't help but feel admiration for him.
