Kapitel 1121: Chapter 453 The Fall of the Liang State_3

The Chu army outside Ke City, even after being reinforced, had still suffered significant losses trying to uproot the camps around the city.

What remained was an army of one million soldiers, including eleven Inborns.

In terms of sheer strength, Chu State still held an absolute advantage.

Also, after receiving news that Xu Army reinforcements had arrived at Sheqiu City, Lu Yuan issued an order to transfer the 200,000 reorganized Xu Army captives from the rear at Xichang City to Sheqiu City, to further bolster the strength of the Chu armies on various battlefields.

With these reinforcements, the Chu forces at the heavily fortified Sheqiu City were still capable of combat, even after a wave of support from the Xu Army inside the city.

Although the casualties might be larger than anticipated, Chu's strategy for siege warfare has always heavily utilized captives.
