Qu Wan in Kangping City is now very sure in his heart, the confrontation with the Han army in half a year, let him have a deeper understanding of the Han army, in the field battle, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is indeed unparalleled in the world, super strong individual soldiers, superb tactical literacy, strict tactical discipline, and a fighting style that is not afraid of death, such an army, whoever touches them, will not have any good fruit to eat. The more than 20,000 troops of Bian Yang were wiped out in the hands of the Han army, and Qu Wan no longer felt suffocated, because in the past six months, he and the Han army have had no less than dozens of encounters, but in the field battle, he has never won, and occasionally he can draw once, which is considered a great victory.

But the Han army also has their weaknesses, that is, they are not skilled in attacking fortified positions, or their generals lack more methods for attacking fortified positions, and what makes Qu Wan even happier is that the other party seems to be very scruples about the excessive casualties of soldiers, and it is not a bad thing to cherish the lives of soldiers, but they are too loving, and they dare not fight with their lives when they should be sacrificed, which is a big problem.

Thinking of the high military expenses of the Han army and the post-war pension, Qu Wan seems to have some experience, the Han army's pension is indeed a heavy burden, or because of the pressure from all sides, once the Han army generals are frustrated in the attack, most of them will retreat, which is also one of the reasons why Kangping City has persisted until now.

The Han army was strong, and the state of Chu was not ready to fight a full-scale war with the Han state in the early days, and at the beginning, King Huai of Chu just held a mentality of taking advantage of the advantage, and the Qin army jointly began the attack on the Han state, but no one could have imagined that in just a few months, the form was reversed, and the fruit that was originally thought to be nine out of ten was now flying, not to mention, he was still burning himself, and he couldn't stop.

The Qin people were defeated, Li Xin, Wang Xiao and other generals were defeated one after another, and the Wei State that they had finally won was also handed over to the Han Dynasty, and the Zhao State was also divided into two in the contest between the two great powers, and the country did not become a country. As for the three counties of Han that the Qin people gave to the Chu State, they have long since become the bag of the Han army.

Every time I think of this, Qu Wan has the idea of stealing chickens and not eating rice.

King Chu Huai didn't want to fight a full-scale war with the Han State, but the Han State was forced to fight each other, and in this environment, King Chu Huai could only pinch his nose and start the national mobilization.

The state of Chu, one of the superpowers in the world, once the national mobilization began, the war potential was naturally great, under the condescending banner of the first assistant Huang Xie and Taiwei, with Kangping City as the center, the Chu people had gathered nearly 100,000 troops and completed the chain elastic defense in the heavy plan.

Stabilize the defense first, wait for the opportunity to counterattack, this is the idea of Qu Chong, the Chu army has not fought for more than a year, their soldiers need to be sharpened, in Qu Chong's mind, if Kangping City can withstand the Han army for a year, then, the Chu army above this line of defense will become the second male division of the Chu army after the Qin-Chu border.

Qu Wan is already starting to plan the next counteroffensive, the idea of attacking the Han country itself is still not to have, it is a moth to the fire and kill itself, Qi Guo Tiandan, Qin State Li Xin, has already made a living example for him, but when the time is ripe, Qu Wan still dreams of incorporating the land of Qi into the map of the Chu people.

Qi people and the Han people have enmity, first Tiandan tens of thousands of troops were wiped out in the hands of the Han people, and then the Han people were cunning, swallowed the Qi country in one bite, now among the Qi people, there are not a few people who dream of recovering the country, now in Kangping City, Qu Wan has gathered a lot of such people, these people in the battle with the Han people, the courage to show is more tenacious than the Chu people, and the hatred of the Han people is even more than the Chu people.

Among these people, there are nobles, officials, landlords, businessmen of Qi State, as well as a lot of ordinary people, mountain and village husbands, in Qu Wan's opinion, these are some good guys who can be used!

When the time comes, under the banner of recovering the country for the Qi people, it is impossible to gather a large number of people in the Qi country.

Of course, the premise of all these things is that he wants to hold Kangping City, and here it greatly consumes the Han people's combat power and confidence, patience, when the opponent realizes that Kangping City is impossible to take, when they want to turn their attention to other places, it is their own opportunity.

"General!" The newly promoted lieutenant Zhou Yafu pushed the door in.

"Oh, Yafu is here, just in time to have lunch together, and have a few drinks with me!" Qu Wan smiled.

"General, the scout is coming, a new general flag has been raised in the Han army camp, and Ye Zhong is here." Zhou Yafu's face was solemn, "I'm afraid we will face a tough battle next."

Qu Wan laughed: "Is King Han finally unable to bear it?" What Meng Chong, Zhang Hongyu, and Bai Yucheng can't do, Ye Zhong can do? Does he really think he has a bit of a knack for turning stone into gold?"

"Ye Zhong is the secretary of the Han Army, Gao Yuan sent him, that is the determination to capture Kangping City, general, we must not underestimate the enemy!" Zhou Yawu looked at the bending face with a relaxed face and said.

"Of course I know that!" Qu Wan said with a smile: "No matter how they change, we have been adapting to all changes, holding Kangping City, is the core part of this battle, now the strength of Kangping City has increased to 50,000 people, sufficient food, countless ordnance, the Han army has missed the best opportunity to take Kangping City, if they were not busy integrating the internal forces of Qi after taking Qi State, but did their best to fight with me, then Kangping City is really dangerous, but by now, Kangping City has been as stable as Mount Tai. Even if they want to fill it with their lives, they won't be able to break through my Kangping City."

The flag waved, the war drums rumbled, Ye Chong's first attack after arriving in Kangping City finally kicked off, although Qu Wan said that he didn't care about Ye Chong's arrival, but the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as the first general under Gao Yuan, Ye Chong, who had been famous for a long time, personally commanded the battle against Kangping City, Qu Wan still played the spirit of 120,000 points, and personally went into battle to command the battle.

However, the process was greatly unexpected by Qu Wan, Ye Chong's ability seemed to be no more than Er'er, and the siege routine was no different from the previous Mengzhong, the only difference was that the morale of the Han army seemed to be much higher, or because Ye Chong was the old commander of the Southern Field Army, and his subordinates seemed to want to show their unyielding will to fight in front of the old commander, but the intensity of the battle did not increase much compared with before.

This is not because the Han army's will to fight is bad, but because the Han army commander who commands the battle is still very concerned about the casualties of the soldiers.

The tide of attack, the tide of retreat, except for Qu Wan's false alarm, did not have much effect, Kangping City, still standing majestically, if the only result of Ye Chong's arrival, is that the Han army has attacked the city wall many times, but that's all.

After a day, Qu Wan had lost his patience, if Ye Chong's ability was all that, then he really had nothing to worry about. With a little disappointment, Qu Wan returned to the city and handed over the task of commanding the defense to Zhou Yafu.

Another day passed, and the offensive of the Han army was still thunderous and rainy. It seems to be turbulent, but it is actually soft and weak.

"General, I suspect that the other party is digging tunnels." Another night, Zhou Yafu came to report the military situation during the day to Qu Wanyu, "Today, in front of the opponent's position, a large number of earthen fortresses appeared, but what makes me strange is that the other party does not seem to shy away from us We know that they are almost digging tunnels in the open."

"Digging tunnels?" Qu Wan felt a little unbelievable, the offensive and defensive battles on the mainland have developed to this day, the fighting art of the offensive and defensive sides is almost at the top, any way that can be thought of, the predecessors have thought of it and put it into practice, this is also to this day, the offensive battle for the attacking side, a few stops have become a nightmare, in the face of a well-prepared city, if you want to attack hard, it is almost impossible to take it lightly.

"This is Ye Chong's new tactic?" Qu Wan almost wanted to laugh, "Dig more shafts in the city, detect the location and progress of the tunnels dug by the other party, and give them a heavy blow when the time comes, digging tunnels?" I can think of it too!"

Qu Wan felt that Ye Zhong was joking, but Ye Zhong himself didn't think so. In his big tent, a group of people were discussing around a map, but the people discussing it were not Ye Chong's generals, but some other people.

Three or four researchers from the Ichijin Research Institute, plus a few masters in the construction of the city transferred from the Ministry of Engineering, were discussing how to break down the strong walls of Kangping Castle.

"The construction of cities on the mainland in the past is almost always a template!" A master architect drew a horizontal and vertical intersecting line on the drawing, and poked small holes in some of the key points on it: "It is not comparable to the construction of the city of our Han Dynasty, each with its own characteristics, so this Kangping City will not have any other unexpected moves, these places are some of the key points and key points under our current city wall, only the explosives of your research institute are strong enough, you can completely overturn this section of the city wall of hundreds of meters."

"There's no problem with the explosives in our research institute, the point is, are these pivotal points you pointed out correct? If we don't find these points correctly, we won't be able to achieve the results we want." A researcher at the Kazushin Research Institute said.

"Joke, I don't know how many cities I've built in my life, such a small problem can stump me, I dare to make a military order, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare!"

Watching the two of them stand up with a smile, Ye Zhen smiled and got up, "I believe in the two masters, so we only need to place explosives on these points to succeed in one fell swoop?"

"Not bad!" The two spoke in unison.

"Very good, Meng Chong, you come here, all the tunnels dug in other places are abandoned, tomorrow, start from these three points, and dig all the way to the city wall." Ye Chong pointed at the drawings with his fingers and looked at Meng Chongdao. (To be continued......)
