The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1315 Yu Shizhong's Confidence

Buk Mountain is located fifteen miles southwest of Sakya City.

Among the many mountains in Xiqu, Booker Mountain is completely inconspicuous.

But now, this is the campsite of the army led by Chinpu.

They announced to the outside world that Su Zan was in charge of this battle.

In fact, the real commander was Qinpu, the King of Xiqu.

In the previous battle, Qinpu did not think he had won.

Under such circumstances, the enemy actually broke through and caused more than 8,000 casualties to them and the Xibo tribe.

In his opinion, they had lost the previous battle.

Of course, he could only keep these words in his heart and certainly could not tell them to all the soldiers.

The morale of the whole army was high because of this victory. If he was defeated, wouldn't that be like pouring cold water on them?

Chinpu stood on the hillside of Buk Mountain, looking out at the Sakya City not far away.

Although Sakya City is called a royal city, it is actually just a small city with rammed earth walls and a small moat.

If Chinpu wanted, he could lead his army to attack the city tomorrow.

As long as the Sakya capital was captured, Sakya would be doomed.

After that, their army can rely on the Sakya Royal City to form a confrontation with Yun Zheng’s army.

However, when the troops really approached the Sakya capital, Chinpu hesitated.

At this time, the weather here is already quite cold.

If they fail to capture the Sakya City within ten days, they will most likely suffer heavy losses due to the cold weather.

This is a situation that no general in command would like to see.

However, if he fails to seize this opportunity to capture the Saga Royal City, Yun Zheng will definitely send troops to support Saga.

It would be even more difficult to attack the Sakya Kingdom when the weather warms up next year.

Just when Chinpu was hesitating, King Kalon of Sipo also arrived with his troops and came to see Chinpu as soon as possible.

"I've met the king!"

Kalon respectfully bowed to the new King of Xiqu, who was about the same age as his youngest son.

"No need to be polite!"

Chimpu nodded and smiled, then turned to look at the Sakya City. "How long do you think it will take us to capture the Sakya City?"

Kalon replied without hesitation: "Gundazan only has a few defeated soldiers, and the city is running low on food and grass! With the mighty army led by the king, we will be able to capture this city in three days at most!"

Three days at most?

Qinpu snorted in his heart.

That's easy for him to say!

If the enemy was really so vulnerable, how could they break out under such circumstances?

"Do you know how many troops there are in this city?"

Chimpu asked again.

Kalon said with a smile: "Gundazan has handed over almost all the troops to his son-in-law. There are no more than 2,000 people left in the city! Including the remnants of Yu Shizhong's breakout, there should be no more than 7,000 people!"

Previously, the Sibo tribe had formed an alliance with the Sakya tribe, and Kalon also learned a lot about the situation on Gundazan's side.

He also knew that Yu Shizhong, the so-called famous general of Daqian, was the son-in-law of Gong Dazan.

Now Gongdazan and Yu Shizhong have reached the end of their road!

"you sure?"

Chimp turned his head and asked.

"This one……"

Garon paused for a moment, and said uncertainly: "These are all my guesses. I am not sure about the details..."

He was actually quite certain.

But he didn't dare to say too much.

After all, the Saga Royal City is less than 150 miles away from Sawtooth Ridge.

They have been chasing us all the way, maybe Sawtooth Ridge has already sent reinforcements to Saga City?

But he heard that Daqian had a lot of cavalry.

The distance is 150 miles, and the cavalry can provide support within one day.

Although their spies did not find any news of the enemy's reinforcements arriving, who can be sure of such things?

Qin Pu thought for a moment and ordered: "Tomorrow we will launch a tentative attack! Test their strength first!"

"Yes!"

Kalon obeyed the order.

Qinpu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I will keep my word! As long as you capture this city, I will not only fulfill my promise to you about rewards, but I will also give you half of the Sakya tribe's territory!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Kalon was so excited that he quickly expressed his gratitude.

……

in the city.

After leading his troops back to the Sakya Royal City to recuperate for a few days, Yu Shizhong's injuries healed somewhat.

However, the previous breakout battle was too difficult.

He had several wounds on his body.

Although the armor protected him from being injured, he certainly could not recover in a short period of time.

Even so, Yu Shizhong still climbed up the not-so-high city wall and used his clairvoyance to observe the enemy's situation.

Gundasan was also on the top of the city wall.

Seeing Yu Shizhong put down his clairvoyance, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Can we hold on with so few people?"

In fact, there are more than 12,000 people in their city.

When Yu Shizhong broke out, he urgently ordered 6,000 secretly trained troops to enter the city.

However, they were facing an army of 100,000!

He had no idea how effective their city walls and moats would be.

Moreover, the city’s supply of bows and arrows was insufficient.

If the enemy launched a fierce attack, he was really worried that they would not be able to withstand it.

For a moment, he even wanted to suggest abandoning the royal city and retreating to Sawtooth Ridge.

"Don't worry, father. I am absolutely sure I can hold on!"

Yu Shizhong was not discouraged by the previous defeat and his face was full of confidence.

"Really?"

Gundazen looked at his son-in-law in surprise.

Yu Shizhong has been in Sakya for half a year.

He also got to know Yu Shizhong better.

Yu Shizhong is not a man who talks big.

Yu Shizhong's words that he was absolutely sure that he could defend the city were undoubtedly a shot in the arm for him.

"of course it's true!"

Yu Shizhong was full of confidence. "I'm not afraid of them coming to attack, I'm just afraid that they won't dare to attack! Father, just order people to continue to build the catapults!"

So what about a hundred thousand troops?

It's not like they don't have reinforcements behind them.

The 10,000 reinforcements led by Fu Tianyan and Huo Gu can come to support at any time.

However, it was he who asked Fu Tianyan and others not to come to support for the time being.

The 15,000 reinforcements led by Zuo Ren should have arrived at Sawtooth Ridge.

By this calculation, they still have 25,000 reinforcements.

As long as the enemy dares to attack, he will slowly consume the enemy!

He wanted the enemy to devote its forces to attacking the city, continuously increasing the enemy's losses and preventing the enemy from taking the city, but he was unwilling to lose so many troops in vain.

When the weather gets colder, the enemy forces that have been unable to attack for a long time will suffer a large number of non-combat casualties.

By then, if the troops from Sawtooth Ridge come again, maybe we will have a chance to wipe out these 100,000-strong army!

He judged that these 100,000 troops should be the core force in Qinpu's hands.

As long as this group of enemy troops was eliminated, Qinpu would not have enough strength to suppress the various tribes in Xiqu.

By then, the various tribes in Xiqu would probably launch rebellions one after another.

Once that time comes, Xiqu will basically be close to complete defeat!

"Okay! I believe you!"

Facing the confident Yu Shizhong, Gongdazan felt much less pressure.

Although Yu Shizhong's reputation is not as loud as Yun Zheng's, he is also a well-known figure in the Beifu Army and the Guiyi Army, and is also a general highly respected by Yun Zheng.

He had no reason not to believe Yu Shizhong!
