As for what to do twenty years later, that can be discussed when the time comes. If the Qin People still lack memory and attempt to launch a Unified War, then we can join forces again to fight! Since we were able to annihilate your main Army today, there will be no problem doing it again in twenty years!
If Plain King Zhao Sheng initially fought just for face, now he has become more ambitious due to the strong support from various Feudal States. His strategic intention has gradually shifted from merely driving away the Qin Army's main force to completely annihilating the Qin Army.
Since he had this plan, he naturally did not want a weak nation to be stuck at the important position of Wild King City. After careful consideration, he ultimately decided that Wei's forces would accomplish this strategic goal. Plain King then sent a secret letter to Xingling Jun, hoping Wei Wujie could participate in this historic century battle. If conditions allowed, it would be best if Your Majesty could personally command the attack and hold Wild King City.
However, whether Wei Wujie could actually command Wei's forces was still debatable. This Xingling Jun was too flamboyant, leading to suspicion from King Wei. Now he was like a mute eating bitter herbs, with no way to express his grievances.
Ever since receiving Zhao Sheng's secret letter, Wei Wujie had been anxious. How could he not want to participate in this great war for Wei State? If they won, it would indeed leave a mark in history. But if he told the prince he wanted to join this battle, the result might jeopardize his personal freedom.
Since it was going to be like this anyway, he decided to sneak out of the city! As for military authority, he would think of a way while fighting! Besides, with mountains high and the emperor far away, secretly fighting for a few months wouldn’t be a problem. Determined, Wei Wujie hurriedly arrived at the frontline combat unit and successfully commanded Wei's soldiers to capture the walls of Wild King City.
After a prolonged siege, the soldiers of Wei Kingdom finally saw hope at Wild King City. The urge to win made them forget who was currently in command. Who cared about that!? They just wanted to take down Wild King City! To kill all Qin People and avenge their fallen brothers!
When Wei Wujie climbed up the City Wall with his shield raised, the soldiers of Wei Kingdom were instantly filled with an overwhelming sense of victory. They charged forward and cut off the defending Qin Army before pushing them back like herding sheep. Now they only needed to secure the East Gate tower; the Cavalry Unit waiting outside could then charge in and eliminate any remaining enemies in the city.
Fueled by determination, the Wei Army solidified their occupied positions while launching fierce attacks on the guards at the East Gate. Those who couldn’t get close provided long-range support with arrows. Meanwhile, those engaged with the Qin Army fought fiercely with bloodshot eyes.
After Wei Army captured the walls, Li Xin found himself completely cut off on the opposite side, watching helplessly as the East Gate defenders suffered heavy casualties without any means to help. He had already led his team in several ambushes trying to break through but failed miserably; how could Wei Wujie allow the Qin Army to regroup? He commanded both forces along the walls to launch a simultaneous assault north and south as waves of Wei soldiers climbed over from outside using ladders.
For Luzi at this moment, there was neither reinforcements nor a Reserve Team. Fortunately, they had discovered the danger at East City Wall early on and urgently pulled soldiers from three other walls for support. If it weren’t for those arriving soldiers holding their ground, they would have run out of ammunition and supplies by now. Even so, only a few hundred defenders remained.
Luzi considered signaling Fan Chenglong with Thunderbolt from his pocket several times but ultimately held back and decided to wait a bit longer. These rations were crucial supplies for frontline troops; if they were all burned, there would be an immediate risk of starvation. However, things did not turn around as expected; the situation continued to worsen.
Persisting until Dawn!? Sigh! Just being alive to see the sunrise is a luxury!
The battle has reached this point, and the Soldiers participating have long become numb to killing. As long as there is breath left, their eyes are filled with enemies. When weapons are damaged, they grab whatever materials are at hand. If there is nothing left to use, they immediately bare their teeth and pounce to bite fiercely.
Thanks to the rigorous sword-forging techniques, the longsword in Luzi's hand has struck directly against the edges of the enemy's weapons multiple times. Weapons soaked repeatedly in blood cannot withstand such repeated damage; the blade edges are almost turning into saw teeth. With several Soldiers blocking behind Luzi, he has been battered like this, and the casualties in battle have made it even harder for the already strained defenders.
Luzi secretly rejoices not because he is still alive but because Wei Wujie, who is determined to succeed, has not considered taking advantage of the other directions where the city wall defenses are weak to sneakily capture the city overnight.
To withstand the pressure from the East City Wall, Luzi has hardly left anyone stationed elsewhere. For safety's sake, he ordered the defenders to extinguish all torches on the City Wall during their retreat. This was to create an illusion that would confuse the enemy outside the city.
The Wei Army outside did not fall for this trick and did not assist in besieging the city because there were no orders for them to sneakily capture it under cover of night. Whether there were torches illuminating the City Wall was irrelevant since their attention was entirely focused on the East City Wall.
As soldiers from various city walls rushed along the streets of the city, the nearly lost East City Gate stabilized once again. How long has it been since the battle began? It seems no one knows.
Wei Wujie waved his sword amidst the crowd, loudly commanding Soldiers not to take a single step back. The city wall they had captured must not be taken back by the Qin People! The positions occupied by Wei Army on the city wall were now overcrowded, and soldiers outside could only wait anxiously. Some attempted to change positions to ascend the city but found that Qin Army could still spare forces for counterattacks. As a result, no one opened a second front anymore. The soldiers outside reached a consensus that it was better to wait in a safe area before attempting to enter.
In the main camp watching the excitement, Jin Bi heard that a general requested Catapult support and angrily asked where they planned to strike!? If Xingling Jun truly captures the city, then all supplies within will belong to Wei Kingdom. If you go up and smash everything, you won't need to repair any destroyed Granaries, right!? Besides, these are all standard Qin grains; it would be great to haul them back to Wei Kingdom!
Jin Bi initially did not have high hopes for Wei Wujie's siege this time but began to see some hope as things progressed. Upon noticing flames on the City Wall, he started planning his next steps. Since this campaign requires Wei Army to block Qin Army’s retreat route, preserving the city defenses as much as possible should be prioritized.
The troops dispatched for this operation are all regular forces of Wei Kingdom; logistics have not sent Engineering Corps for assistance. This means that expert teams for reinforcing and repairing city defenses did not accompany them.
Preserving city defenses for their own use is unavoidable. If they were to smash down all walls right away, they would be unable to defend against any incoming attacks from Qin Army! For this reason, after commanding the siege, Jin Bi focused on the East City Wall. The direction of the East Gate points toward Wei Kingdom, while retreating Qin Army will likely focus their attacks on West City Wall and North City Wall.
