Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2439 Wanyan finally conquers Hot Spring City, the three hundred Spartans

The Great Han cabinet had already considered the issue of the Sun Kingdom's premature entry into the war.

After all, they couldn't possibly expect to completely influence the judgment of the entire Sun Kingdom's top leadership with just Kuai Tong's words.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty has a contingency plan in place to address the issue of the Sun Kingdom's participation in the war.

In fact, this time, even if it were just Kuai Tong's words, or even if Wang Yingkan or Su Qin went in person, it wouldn't necessarily delay the matter any longer.

After all, the fact that the Sun Kingdom launched its attack so early this time was not only due to its own judgment, but also to the involvement of Yelü Abaoji's forces and even Jiang Ziya.

None of these parties can be easily resolved!
Jiang Ziya, in particular, did not neglect diplomacy while dealing with the internal troubles of the Great Qian Dynasty; the Sun Kingdom was just one of his targets.

Or rather, the Sun Kingdom was not Jiang Ziya's primary target for contact.

For Jiang Ziya, the Sun Kingdom was a pawn used to slow down the situation in the northeast of the Han Dynasty, buying him time to resolve the internal problems of the Qian Dynasty, but not enough to help the Qian Dynasty deal with the Han Dynasty.

Both the Han and the Qian dynasties are currently racing against time.

Before the Great Qian could deal with its internal problems, the Great Han needed to resolve these peripheral issues, and then launch a full-scale southward offensive before the Great Qian could resolve its internal problems.

As for the Great Qian Dynasty, it was, of course, the complete opposite.

Therefore, given that the Sun Kingdom has deployed troops ahead of schedule, the Great Han Dynasty also needs to introduce new forces to ensure that the problems here will not affect the overall situation going forward.

Su Qin arrived at Wang Yu's study shortly after Xu Chu summoned the Tiger Guards to see him.

Su Qin's inclusion as one of the accompanying officials during Wang Yu's northern tour was part of a contingency plan.

Originally, in the Han Dynasty, such important business trips were usually handled by Wang Yingkan, but now Su Qin, whose talent in this area was no less than Wang Yingkan's, has also come to the Han Dynasty.

Then, naturally, he should be allowed to take over Wang Yingkan's duties.

"Minister Su, this morning the Luo Wang reported that Matsushita Iso has begun to organize his troops and will be setting out soon!"

"Next, I will need to trouble you to make a trip to Nurhaci!" Wang Yu instructed directly after Su Qin entered.

"Your Majesty, I will obey your decree and will certainly not fail your trust!" Su Qin, who already knew the contents of the backup plan, immediately said with a happy expression.

As lobbyists, their value lies in a series of alliances and counter-alliances, and their achievements also lie in these alliances and counter-alliances.

Wang Yingkan, for example, may not have personally participated in any of the battles during the Han Dynasty's series of campaigns, but his contributions were no less than those of any other general.

Without his repeated successes in diplomatic alliances, the Han Dynasty's conquests would not have been so smooth. Even if the Han Dynasty were still able to reach this point, the time would have been indefinitely delayed, and in the process, hundreds of thousands more soldiers would likely have died.

In Su Qin's view, this mission to Nurhaci was an opportunity for him to begin making achievements and proving his abilities.

………………

Dongyi, Hot Spring City! After two months of fierce fighting, Hot Spring City was finally on the verge of collapse.

Due to the geographical disadvantage, Wanyan Xie also had an army of 100,000, but he could not deploy them effectively, and the number of troops he could send out at one time was limited.

Even after nearly two months of relentless attacks, they still couldn't gain any advantage over the hot spring town.

Even on one occasion, Xing Tian, ​​in a desperate attempt, finally scaled the walls of Hot Spring City and even killed the Eastern Yi general, Clirkus.

However, they were still forcibly repelled by Leonidas himself and three hundred warriors.

Although the intelligence from Luo Wang had mentioned these three hundred warriors, this was the first time Xing Tian had seen them in person.

Therefore, even Xing Tian couldn't help but be secretly amazed at that time. These were simply the heaviest of the heavy infantry, the absolute elite among the elite.

Under these circumstances, even after nearly two months of continuous fighting, Wanyan Xieye still couldn't do anything about the hot spring city.

If we continue this aggressive attack, it could take another six months, until the enemy runs out of food, before we can achieve a result.

It was under these circumstances that Yelü Pang, who was in charge of escorting the grain supplies, brought Wanyan Xie a plan to break through the city.

When Yelü Pang was a general of the Dongyi, he also garrisoned the hot spring city. It was because of this that Wanyan Xie was able to know the exact location and detailed structure of the city's reservoir.

Therefore, Wanyan Xie was able to use the birds to achieve his goal of polluting the city's reservoir water source.

With the city's reservoir water source polluted, Leonidas had no other choice but to abandon the city and prepare for a breakout.

After all, although the hot spring city was built against the mountain, it made the most effective use of the treacherous terrain of the hot spring mountain, which is why it became such a sturdy city.

The only drawback is that, due to the limitations of the terrain during construction, although it achieved a solid foundation, the city's access to water was entirely dependent on a small river that passed through Hot Spring Mountain.

If the water supply is blocked from upstream, the hot spring town will face a water shortage. Without drinking water, even the strongest defenses are useless.

For this reason, after the hot spring city was designed, a huge water storage pool was built inside the city, nestled against the mountain. Once full, it is enough to meet the needs of 10,000 people for half a year.

It's impossible for a period of six months to go without rain, so this method solved the problem of potentially blocking the drinking water supply.

However, the upstream of the river has long been cut off by Wanyan Xieye, and the city's water reserves have been polluted by the other side.

Leonidas couldn't possibly gamble on a downpour within the next few days. After all, there had just been a heavy rain before the water source was contaminated, and according to the local soldiers' experience, the next rain would be lucky to arrive within half a month.

Survive for half a month without water? That just shows Leonidas wasn't completely insane!
Rather than waiting for the soldiers in the city to lose their fighting ability due to water shortage, it would be better to take advantage of the fact that the soldiers are still in good condition and try to break through!

Wanyan Xieye, who orchestrated the pollution of the city's water supply, would naturally be wary of Leonidas taking advantage of this opportunity to break out.

Under these circumstances, the final battle between the two sides has officially begun!
