Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

At this moment, the Southern Border Army surged in from all directions like a tide, surrounding the city tightly. The shouts and screams were like thunder, deafening and reaching deep into people's hearts. The psychological pressure brought by this powerful formation was as heavy as a mountain pressing down on an egg.

Imagine how scared an ordinary person would be when facing a pack of vicious wolves. When everyone is united against the enemy, they may burst out with extraordinary courage. However, once the pack of wolves just stand there quietly, staring at people with cold and greedy eyes, as time goes by, the adrenaline in the body gradually subsides, and fear and terror will grow like wild weeds.

This is the current situation. Although Xiang Sheng is also a general, his influence in the Chu army is far less than that of Long Ju. If the two of them were to swap their roles, and it was Xiang Sheng who died instead of Long Ju, then the Chu army would surely be able to stabilize its position easily and would not fall into such a passive situation.

"Tian Hu, go and persuade them to surrender again! This time, tell the soldiers guarding the city that if anyone is willing to open the city gate and welcome my army into the city, or if anyone can kill the defending general, this general will reward him handsomely with a thousand taels of gold and promote him to the rank of general of a thousand men!" Han Xin looked cold and gave the order decisively.

"Yes!" Tian Hu clasped his fists and accepted the order, then turned around and left quickly.

Time passed quietly, and a quarter of an hour had passed. Han Xin thought to himself that the news of Long Ju's death should have spread quickly throughout Zhi County. So he decided to let Tian Hu take the next step.

After Tian Hu received the order, he immediately rode his horse and led only a dozen cavalrymen to gallop around Zhixian County, and at the same time, these people began to shout loudly.

"Those who open the city and surrender or kill the defenders will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and a thousand people will be promoted directly!"

"Those who open the city and surrender or kill the defenders will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and a thousand people will be promoted directly!"

"Those who open the city and surrender or kill the defenders will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and a thousand people will be promoted directly!"

At this moment, Tian Hu led his majestic cavalry and swept in like a gust of wind. They galloped on their horses and shouted loudly, the sound was deafening and resounded through the sky. This sudden scene made Xiang Sheng, who was standing on the city wall at this moment, panic.

Xiang Sheng's face was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead. He stared with wide eyes at the group of aggressive enemies under the city in horror, and shouted anxiously: "Shoot immediately, shoot quickly!" He knew very well that if he allowed Tian Hu and others to shout so unscrupulously, the morale of his own army would probably be dispersed before the war officially started.

Not only that, with the enemy's shouts that kept coming one after another, Xiang Sheng keenly felt that countless pairs of eyes behind him were staring at him closely. Those eyes were like sharp arrows, piercing his back, making him feel uneasy instantly. The fear in his heart surged into his heart like a tide, and Xiang Sheng even began to worry that he might be stabbed from behind at any time.

When Tian Hu finished shouting around, the whole county seemed to be shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Xiang Sheng looked at everything in front of him at a loss, not sure whether his soldiers would betray him. At the same time, those soldiers were also experiencing a fierce struggle in their hearts.

Not long after, Tian Hu rode his horse and whipped it, returning to Han Xin's side. Han Xin's face was gloomy, and he said nothing. He suddenly drew out the gleaming sword from his waist, raised it high, and pointed the sharp tip of the sword straight in the direction of Zhixian. In an instant, an invisible pressure spread, which made people tremble with fear.

"All troops attack!"

Following Han Xin's order, the Southern Border Army, which had been ready for battle, launched another fierce attack like a surging torrent. For a moment, the sound of "swish, swish, swish, swish..." was heard incessantly, and countless sharp arrows poured down towards the city wall like a torrential rain. The dense rain of arrows seemed to cover the entire sky, making people afraid.

At the same time, the soldiers in front charged forward fearlessly. They took firm and powerful steps, and their shouts shook the earth.

Han Xin stood at a high point in the back, watching the defenders' every move on the city wall with his sharp eyes. His sharp eyes did not miss any details, and he carefully observed the defenders' reactions and defensive actions. When he found that the defenders' defensive strength was indeed far less than before, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and finally revealed a barely perceptible smile.

In fact, the reason why Han Xin was able to come up with such a brilliant tactic was due to the valuable experience he learned from Gao Yao. Although Gao Yao was slightly inferior in terms of strategy, he had an extraordinary keen insight into people's hearts. He called this grasp of people's psychology psychological warfare, and was good at using various means to influence the mentality of his opponents.

As an outstanding general, Han Xin not only did not become complacent because of his achievements, but always maintained a humble and studious attitude. He constantly drew wisdom and experience from others and worked hard to improve his abilities. After a long period of study and practice, Han Xin successfully integrated the psychological warfare skills taught by Gao Yao into battlefield command.

In this fierce battle, Han Xin skillfully used the strategy of psychological warfare. Through a series of carefully planned actions and arrangements, he made the enemy fearful and timid before the actual battle, thus greatly weakening the enemy's combat effectiveness. It can be said that this battle was not only a contest of troops and weapons between the two sides, but also a fierce competition on the psychological level.

In the past, if Han Xin wanted to display his strategy, he would often use the method of provoking the enemy. He would skillfully use words to anger the enemy generals and force them to go out of the city to fight. Then, he would pretend to retreat, lure the enemy into a trap, and then annihilate its main force in one fell swoop; or he would deliberately reveal obvious flaws to attract the enemy to take the initiative to attack, and after the enemy took the bait, he would suddenly launch a large-scale counterattack and successfully capture Zhi County.

However, after psychological tactics were added, although the time required might be slightly longer, the results obtained were very different from before. Zhixian County could also be captured by forceful attack, but in this case, the enemy would inevitably suffer considerable losses. Han Xin's vision would not be limited to the battle at hand. He was concerned about the future confrontation with the imperial army. Therefore, it was crucial to save as many troops as possible in this battle. At the same time, if many surrendered soldiers could be successfully subdued, even if they needed time to be trained and reorganized before they could be put back on the battlefield, the difference between having these surrendered soldiers and having none at all was a world of difference.

"Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom..." The deafening sound of drums resounding through the sky sounded again like surging waves.

The Southern Border Army was launching a new round of fierce and fierce attacks. The same drumbeats sounded completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, the whole day of bloody fighting, the soldiers on both sides were bloodthirsty, the fighting was extremely fierce, and it did not stop until nightfall.

After a short rest overnight, they thought they could take a breather, but in the early morning, a shocking news quickly spread throughout the army - their general had actually died! This bad news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering the confidence of the remaining Chu army soldiers. The originally firm morale of the army now began to falter and was on the verge of collapse.

On the other hand, the Southern Border Army, with the strength of one side growing stronger and the other weaker, had a strong morale and was unstoppable. Although the Chu Army still held on to the city, they had long lost the desperate spirit of yesterday. Because they knew that hope was slim. Yesterday, they were still struggling to hold on to Zhi County and wait for reinforcements, but today even a fierce general like Long Ju has died on the battlefield, and the number of soldiers in the city has dropped by 30%. Faced with such a predicament, the Chu Army could hardly resist the overwhelming offensive of the Southern Border Army. The level of morale is often the key factor in determining the outcome of a war.

The most difficult one was undoubtedly Xiang Sheng. Han Xin actually sent people to spread those words that could shake the morale of the army, and unexpectedly received excellent results. At this moment, Xiang Sheng had to keep running back and forth, commanding the Chu army to launch a counterattack. However, what made Xiang Sheng even more worried was that he had already noticed that some Chu soldiers began to work without exerting their efforts, and even showed obvious intentions of surrendering.

According to common sense, Xiang Sheng should have mercilessly ordered the beheading of these soldiers who had different intentions to rectify military discipline and boost morale. But at this moment, Xiang Sheng did not dare to take such an extreme measure rashly.

Because there were too many Chu soldiers who had such thoughts, if he really killed them, it would probably provoke a mutiny and cause the situation to get completely out of control. Therefore, Xiang Sheng had no choice but to do his best to lead the way in resisting the enemy and command the soldiers to launch a counterattack.

"Boom! Boom..." Accompanied by deafening noises, the next moment, huge stones poured out from the catapults like raindrops, smashing directly towards the city. The part of the city wall that had not been completely repaired yesterday was once again subjected to the merciless baptism of these huge stones.

The attack of the catapults was like a thunderbolt, smashing hard on the city wall. The huge stones came with amazing force and speed, raising dust and rubble wherever they passed. These fierce attacks not only caused serious damage to the city wall, but also successfully weakened the attack of the defenders of the subsequent Southern Border Army, allowing the Southern Border Army to quickly rush to the city wall.
