Chapter 200: Besieging Sucheng, people are panic-stricken

~5 min read 864 words

"General Wang, what did you just say?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye came back to his senses and looked at Wang Li in confusion.

Wang Li repeated what he had just said.

After listening, Ying Ying Zi Ye thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps we don't need to mobilize siege chariots."

"Oh, why?" Wang Li was somewhat confused.

If they didn't mobilize chariots, how would they get into the city?

Could it be that the Xiang family would take the initiative to open the city gates to welcome them in?

Stop joking; how could that be possible?

"Temporarily go to the surrounding cities to mobilize some city-guarding soldiers to come and help."

"Perhaps they will open the city gates and come out to surrender very soon."

As soon as Ying Ying Zi Ye finished saying this, he saw Wang Li, Governor Yin Tong Tong, and the others looking at him with strange expressions.

At this moment, Wang Li really wanted to reach out and touch Ying Ying Zi Ye's forehead to see if he had a fever.

But because of the other party's status as a Prince, otherwise he would have gone up to touch it long ago.

Was he not awake yet, or did he have a fever?

Why was he only saying nonsense?

The Xiang family fled to Sucheng and took control of Sucheng.

Now the Great Qin soldiers had come to attack the city, and it was only the first round of attacks, and they couldn't even get through the city gates.

How could they possibly take the initiative to open the city gates to welcome the Great Qin soldiers?

"You don't believe it?"

Wang Li and Governor Yin Tong Tong shook their heads.

The two words 'don't believe' were blurted out.

"I also somewhat don't believe it; it's all just guessing!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye's eyes flickered.

Who knew what the situation was inside Sucheng?

"Eh, it is possible that the city gates will really be opened."

"Hmm, it is possible that it will be like this."

Governor Yin Tong Tong's face changed, as if he had thought of something.

Wang Li glared at him.

"What did you guess?"

"Don't play dumb; be straightforward."

Governor Yin Tong Tong said: "The most numerous people in the city are the commoners."

"It should have something to do with the commoners in the city, right?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded and smiled: "Yes! So this time, I estimate that we don't even need to mobilize siege chariots."

"Let's mobilize twenty thousand soldiers from nearby cities to come and help!"

"The time to mobilize siege chariots is too long."

If he didn't want to take Sucheng as quickly as possible, he could have mobilized a great army from the garrison.

However, the garrison was too far away, and the time for the round trip was too long, making it not worth the loss.

And it was just a small Sucheng; mobilizing some city guards from the surrounding cities would suffice.

Governor Yin Tong Tong thought of the scene with the commoners in the capital before; it wasn't easy to want to rebel now!

"Mobilizing surrounding soldiers, this matter can be handed to this subordinate; this subordinate is familiar with the people in the nearby cities."

"However, this subordinate does not have an order, so it is difficult to mobilize them."

Wang Li said disdainfully: "With the Ninth Prince here, rest assured about the matter of the order."

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't talk nonsense and found paper and a brush to start writing.

Afterward, he took out a special seal and stamped it on, and that was it.

Governor Yin Tong Tong took this edict and hurriedly went to mobilize troops.

"Commoners? Open the city gates?" Wang Li muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Wang Li also had a flash of inspiration.

"Ninth Prince, will the commoners of Sucheng flee out?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded and said: "If I'm not mistaken, they should."

"Even if they don't, it doesn't matter; wait for the city guards from the surrounding areas to come, and then attack."

"So that's how it is."

Wang Li also revealed an understanding smile.

His tense and urgent mood was also relieved.

Since that was the case, there was no need to go to great lengths to mobilize siege chariots.

Just mobilize more manpower directly.

Even if no one opened the city gates, it didn't matter; wait for more of the great army to come, and they could continue the attack.

The commoners in the capital, no one wanted to rebel against Qin, and they even took the initiative to volunteer to help suppress the rebellion; Wang Li still had this scene vividly in his mind.

This small Sucheng, would they want to rebel against Qin?

The ones rebelling against Qin were only the Xiang family; as for the commoners, they might not necessarily be thinking about rebellion.

Now that they had attacked the city, the commoners inside all knew that the Great Qin soldiers had attacked.

Later, see if the Xiang family had any movements; if not, wait for more people to come and continue attacking the city. ===== CHAPTER 202 =====
