Not long after, according to the previous plan, under the organization of Deputy Sima, more than 200 people were ready.

Their previous height was blocked by slopes, and the cold wind was not so strong. But now, the twenty-seven horses that were ahead were standing on the hillside lined up, while the rest of the infantry deliberately stood in the cracks to form a human wall. The biting cold wind was blocked by them.

However, there was a sense of awe on each soldier's face, and the cavalry also comforted the horse under his crotch. Everyone looked down at the hillside with a serious expression.

They are located in a not-so-high canyon. Below are an endless plain, which is at least as big as a dozen football fields. They are covered with high and low cliffs on both sides. At the end of the plain, there are some small dots that are difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, rising slowly with the vast white snow sprinkled in the sky.

Everyone knows that at the end of the plain is another gentle slope, and the rising small dots are the heads of local soldiers, and the executioners who are about to plunder their lives are slowly climbing up the high slope.

Wang Sancai stood in front, beside him was Deputy Sima riding a horse. On the ground behind them, there were high-rise battle flags, which kept fluttering with the cold wind.

Compared with the plain opposite, the canyon they were in was narrower, and more than 200 people could barely fill the high slope side by side. The battle flags inserted behind them were just empty city plans, so that the enemy would think that they also had troops with equal strength behind them.

"I wonder who is the one who led the troops in Zhou State this time!" Deputy Sima Sima murmured.

After hearing this, Wang Sancai asked casually: "Aren't everyone the same?"

"Different." Deputy Sima Sima said heavily: "Some generals are suspicious. Seeing that we are now so many battle flags behind us and are on the high slope, we are generally extremely cautious."

"How cautious can you be?" Wang Sancai asked again.

Deputy Sima replied lightly: "You can be cautious...they and we are able to hold the defense line in front of our capital to completely defend."

Speaking of this, Deputy Sima simply said something that Wang Sancai didn't know: "The purpose of the 30,000 troops in front you saw was to pass through our current position, and then go around and attack the defense line in front of our capital from the side to support the Zhou army that was mainly attacking our defense line in front. Without the support of these 30,000 people, they would not have taken down our defense line."

"It would be strange if we rely on more than 200 people to stop them." Wang Sancai couldn't help but sneer.

Deputy Sima immediately smiled bitterly and said, "It is impossible to block it. Now I only hope that our bluff potential can play a little role. As long as it can hold them up for half an hour, it will be enough to win a breathing opportunity for the defense line."

"The possibility of this situation is not high." Wang Sancai took a deep breath of cold air: "We are calculating time, and the other party's general must be calculating time. Even if the general is cautious, it is impossible for us to continue to fight."

"Drag as long as you can." Deputy Sima sighed: "Calculate the time now, the three teams in front of us have already dragged them for two quarters of hours. Otherwise, they should have rushed over two quarters of hours earlier."

"What?" Wang Sancai frowned: "How many people are there in the two teams in front?"

"Each team is one hundred." Deputy Sima chuckled and said, "But they are all cavalry."

Wang Sancai was silent for a moment before asking again: "The terrain in front should be wider than where we are, right?"

"I understand what you mean. Their two teams definitely have no chance to bluff." Deputy Sima looked at the gradually rising crowd at the end of the front and said slowly: "They, Zhou State's turtle lambs were attacked twice in a row. Although the losses were not small, in such cold weather, our people were all cavalry, which would have a great blow to their morale. We were the first wave of bluffs, which could at least shock them for a while."

Wang Sancai understands this truth very well, but this tactic can only arouse morale when the enemy is strong and we are weak. But the current situation is completely opposite. Only one-third of their people will encounter the first wave of 100 cavalry, and only one-third of their cavalry in the second wave of 100 cavalry, and only one-third of their cavalry can cause their morale. Wang Sancai doesn't know how much damage it can cause to their morale.

Therefore, Wang Sancai and Sima Deputy Wei were unsure of how much role the first two teams could play.

"We are the last line of defense here, right?" Wang Sancai's tone could not hear any nervousness.

Deputy Sima also understood that Wang Sancai could not die on the battlefield, and understood his lack of tension, so he casually said: "That's right, if we can't even hold on for a quarter of an hour, then the last line of defense in front of the capital would definitely be defeated."

"After the failure of the achievements, the capital of the country will be attacked, right?" Wang Sancai asked again.

Deputy Sima thought for a while before saying, "That's not necessarily. Every time they attack a place, they would have to divide up many soldiers to occupy the territory and evacuate the people. If they meet vicious generals, they would still indulge soldiers to rape and kill them. However, it seems that such a bad situation has not happened yet. However, overall, the more places they captured, the more people they will have to disperse. If they defeat our last line of defense in Li State, they may not necessarily attack our capital."

"I heard what you said, Zhou's troops are indeed not enough." Wang Sancai sighed.

"Their lack of troops is only one reason." Deputy Sima explained patiently: "After all our country is the capital, the most elite forces are concentrated here. If they want to capture it, it will be difficult for them to attack. Lord Wang, don't forget that the longer the front line, the higher the logistics requirements. They have all attacked here. It is not only our people who are hurt along the way, but they want to capture this last line of defense, and the logistics requirements for them are also very high. Many of us believe that the last line of defense in front of our country is their ultimate goal."

"Tell me in detail." Wang Sancai really didn't understand these strategies.

Deputy Sima said unhappily: "First of all, I have analyzed the issue of military strength for you, and then. If they defeated our last line of defense, it would have caused the greatest insult to our Li Kingdom. If they attacked our capital again, the loss would be a problem and would not play a greater role in the degree of the attack, and it would probably cause the opposite effect."

Wang Santuo understood the principle of "gods are desperate to jump over the wall". Although it is very indecent to use in a kingdom, it is very appropriate. It would be fine to attack the door of the house, but then break in and force Li Guo to impatiently. Li Guo may very likely adopt the strategy of burning both jade and stones.

Everyone has a "last move". Although Wang Sancai doesn't understand what the last move of Li State is, there must be a reason why Li State can stand for so many years and is not completely destroyed.

Besides, even if the Zhou State fully occupied the land of Li State, there may not be many benefits.

The land area is wider. But the first thing Zhou State had to consider was to eliminate the hostility of the locals towards their kingdom. Then they had to build the economy of Li State. These things were no less expensive than a war, and this was a long-term matter.

Now Zhou Jing, the prince of Zhou State, has been deposed in Li State. It must also be a heavy blow to Zhou State.

After all, the last line of defense in front of Li Guo’s capital is probably the final occupation point of Zhou.

Wang Sancai figured out these things and continued to ask Deputy Sima: "What do you feel when you are treated as cannon fodder by your own kingdom this time?"

Seeing the thoughtful look of Sima, Wang Sancai reminded: "What does it feel like to be abandoned?"

Deputy Sima shook his head, as if he thought of words that could describe his mood, and said, "Quiet. It was not until now that my heart was truly calm. I knew that my destination as a soldier was right in front of me."

Wang Sancai raised his eyebrows and wondered: "Don't have any other feelings? For example... resentment? Unwilling to accept it?"

When Deputy Sima heard Wang Sancai's words, he suddenly laughed: "There may be some more at the beginning, but the moment I really faced is gone. Since the first day of joining the army, any soldier has been prepared for the worst, because we all know that our duty is to defend our home. No matter how sacrifice is done, as long as we can defend our home and protect the dignity of our family, it is worth it."

Speaking of this, the smile on Deputy Sima's face had become very calm: "There must be people who are cannon fodder. If our sacrifice can be exchanged for the last line of defense, it will be worth it."

Wang Sancai suddenly admired the enlightenment of this somewhat inconspicuous guy. At least he didn't seem so cowardly as he pulled him out of the bed in the morning, full of complaints and escapes. At the moment when he was truly facing the arrival of his destination, the military spirit of the soldier who was ready to die finally returned to him.

However, Wang Sancai couldn't help asking: "If we can't delay for so long, will the defense line be lost in the end?"

"We have tried our best and have no guilt." Deputy Sima squinted his eyes and suddenly stared at Wang Sancai: "Isn't you, the innate powerhouse? Even if you can't kill them, you will definitely cause them to suffer a great loss... What you are afraid of is that the 30,000 generals on the enemy are the patriarch of a certain family, and they also have innate strength."

Wang Sancai didn't say anything anymore, as he agreed to the words of Deputy Sima.

Deputy Sima's eyes suddenly shook and said to Wang Sancai: "Sir, they are approaching, and it's time for you to issue orders to beat the drums of war."

Wang Sancai nodded, and Deputy Sima roared: "Beat the drum!!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The heavy and loud drums were immediately beaten by the drummers, and each sound was as if it was heard in everyone's hearts. While arousing their last trace of bloodiness, it seemed to drive away some of the chills.

Beating the war drum means a signal to launch an attack, but the rhythm of the drum is slow to remind all soldiers to prepare to enter the battle. When the horn of the battle sounds, it is the moment of taking the initiative to attack.

As the drums gradually spread farther, the enemy's army was gradually approaching.
