章節 477: Chapter 238: Conclusion of Negotiations - Part 3

After battling for eleven days straight, the number of Zhou soldiers who had come for the Southern Expedition had drastically reduced from their original three hundred thousand to less than two hundred thousand.

Not only were the casualties heavy, but the failure to capture Guan City severely affected the morale of the soldiers and the army.

Therefore, when He Basheng learned that reinforcements had arrived in the city, he did not continue to besiege the city. Instead, he stationed his soldiers outside the city to regroup and confront the enemy.

Another ten days passed like this.

Inside Guan City, more reinforcements arrived one after another. Apart from Feng City and the two prefectures of Taibai, all other major prefectures in the south of Hanzhong sent two thousand soldiers each to support them.

With the arrival of these soldiers, the defenders in the city once again increased to thirty-three thousand, more than before the start of the war.
