Chapter 1423: The Han Flag World (113) is helpless
In the city of Danfeng County, the battle against Wuguan has lasted for nearly five days, and the largest battle that broke out yesterday made all the generals of the Chu army understand the fact that Wuguan is impossible to conquer under their existing conditions. Since the retreat of Sanchuan County, their various losses have exceeded more than 50,000 people, especially in yesterday's battle, Wang Shubo's troops were killed and wounded more than 10,000 people, and their troops were basically disabled.
Firepower, people are strong, combat effectiveness, people are strong, geographical advantage, people are strong, people, people are strong, it is the time of day, I am afraid that I am also on the side of the other party, this battle, how to fight?
"How is General Wang's injuries? It doesn't matter, right? In the midst of depression, Qu Wan asked Wang Shubo's deputy general in a low voice, in the battle yesterday, Wang Shubo almost died on the battlefield, if it wasn't for his own soldiers desperately snatching him back, he would definitely be the first senior general under Qu Wan's command to die.
"Now that the injury has stabilized, the doctor said that with General Wang's injury, it will only take half a year to recover." The deputy general replied dejectedly, as soon as he occupied it yesterday, he beat Wang Shubo's subordinates up and down to the point that he lost a little heart. Everything planned before the battle was carried out according to their expectations, but when the other side invested their troops in bloody hand-to-hand combat with their own troops, they realized that the other side could easily defeat them without relying on fierce firepower.
You must know that in yesterday's hand-to-hand combat, the troops invested by both sides were close to three to one, but in the final result, the damage ratio was one to three, and Wang Shubo's department, which had killed and wounded more than 10,000 people in the battle, plus the battle losses of the previous few days, more than half of the whole army lost its combat effectiveness, and it was no longer possible to organize a large-scale battle at all.
"General, otherwise, I'll try again!" Bai Xizhong stood up, in comparison, his troops. It's basically intact, and the damage is not large. Unlike Huang Zhong, almost half of his troops were defeated by the two cavalry divisions of the Han army, and now Wang Shubo has also lost half of his men.
"What can it do? Repeat Wang Shubo's battle process? I'm afraid that your losses will be greater, not that the combat effectiveness of your department is worse than Wang Shubo, but that we have exhausted all the methods that can be used, and we have used all the tricks we can think of, after these days of fighting, the Han army has completely figured out our bottom line, Yang Dasha's first army of the Young Guards. Ranked first in the entire army sequence of the Han army, it can be seen that the strength of this army, the whole army is more than 20,000 people, even if there are losses these days, but their strength still exists, and the Wuguan they guard has become an insurmountable moat for us. Even if we fight with all our might, how many people will be left in our department? In this way, even if you return to China, what role can it play? Watching the Han people attack the city and plunder the land all the way? ”
"What are we going to do? Stop at Danfeng. We can't sit still, right? Huang Zhong covered his head and said painfully.
"General. There is also the problem of our grain and grass, the food and grass of the army can only support for ten days at most, what will the whole army do when the time comes? Bai Xizhong was also worried.
Qu Wan was silent for a moment, and his voice gradually became cold: "Everyone." Now that we can't break through the Wuguan, we won't be able to return to Chu and deal with the Han invasion. There's nothing we can do about all of this, so the next thing we need to do is to survive, and we have to plan for ourselves. Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, as long as we still exist, we can't say that there is no opportunity. ”
"How are we going to live?" Huang Zhong asked puzzled.
"Send someone to tell the Qin people that we want food and medicine." Qu Wan said.
"How can the Qin people give it to us?" Huang Zhong was taken aback, "Now that we are not in a good position, maybe they are thinking of falling into the well and driving the army and the Han army to attack us?" ”
"Flanking us?" Qu Wan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "General Huang, when we retreated in Sanchuan County before, seventy or eighty thousand Qin troops escorted us almost all the way here, what do you say it was for?" ”
"Of course, I hope we will fight the Han army to the death." Huang Zhongdao.
"Yes, they want us to fight with the Han army, but now, the Han army is holding Wuguan to the death and blocking us here, we have no way forward, there is no threat to the Han army invading Chu State, and with the strength of Wuguan Yang Dasha's army, plus two cavalry divisions, is it enough to start a decisive battle against us?"
Bai Xizhong exclaimed: "General, you want to ......"
Qu Wan said coldly: "The Qin army wants to watch us fight to the death with the Han army, so now, why don't the Han army look forward to us going to the Qin army to fight evil, and tell the Qin people that if they don't give me food and medicine, I will be cornered, but I will be rude to them, and if I take the Wuguan Pass, can't I deal with them?" If they don't give it, I'll take it myself. The Han people will only smile and watch the excitement above Wuguan, and the two cavalry divisions may make the form chaotic again, help us today, help them tomorrow, and completely beat the southern part of Qin into a pot of porridge. ”
After Qu finished speaking, all the generals in the room were stunned, and for a while, it was really difficult to digest Qu Wan's arguments.
"Now both hungry wolves are counting on me to consume each other's strength! The Han people may not be afraid, but the Qin people are absolutely afraid that they will completely destroy the south, is that what they want? What the hungry army will do, I think the Qin people know very well in their hearts. Qu Wan let out a breath of turbidity, "Xizhong, you make a booklet, tell the Qin people what we want, let them deliver it to us in time, if my soldiers are hungry, it will not be good for anyone." ”
"Understood, General!" Bai Xizhong said in a low voice, extremely depressed.
"Then we'll have to wait. Wait and see the situation and wait for changes, of course, the threat to Wuguan cannot be weakened, if there is a chance, it is still necessary to give it a try. But we can't afford to fight a battle like yesterday's. ”
In Sanchuan County, Lu Zhihui saw the list of materials sent by the Chu army, he was furious, and he shot the case: "Qu Wan, is this a loss of heart, crazy, he still wants to ask us for supplies, a group of useless things, 200,000 people went to fight Wuguan, and was beaten by the Han people, he might as well die." ”
Meng Yong had a calm face, as if there was some great secret hidden on the list of materials, and he looked at it over and over again from beginning to end. Now Xuanyiwei and the Southern Border Army are under unified command, and because Meng Yong has the highest status, he naturally holds the position of commander.
"Qu Wan has no fear, Wang Ming, Gou Yi, what do you two think?" He looked at the other two generals.
Wang Ming was silent, and now the generals of the southern border army basically remained silent above the military discussion, and only acted according to the orders step by step.
Gou Yi smiled bitterly: "Qu Wan's request, I'm afraid we still have to agree to him." ”
"Why?" Lu Zhihui said angrily.
"Why? There are still more than 100,000 troops in his hands. If he dares to send this list, it means that he has made up his mind, and if we don't give it, he will rob it. We also calculated in advance that the grain and grass in Qu Wan's hands could probably support his whole army for ten to twenty days, originally we thought that with this time, Qu Wan was enough to take Wuguan, but obviously, he ate turtles in front of Wuguan, suffered heavy losses, Wuguan couldn't take it, he couldn't go back to Chu, there was not enough grain and grass, if he didn't look for us, who else could he fight? ”
"Why do we want to give it to him, the Chu army took advantage of the fire to rob and wreak havoc in the south of my Great Qin for several months, making the people miserable, thousands of miles of wolf smoke, and now we still want to raise him? Meng Hou, since the Chu army is useless, why don't we unite with the Han army and destroy him directly, how can we be angry with this splint? I think the Han people will be glad to join forces with us to destroy him. Lu Zhihui said.
"I'm afraid the Han people are not happy at all!" The silent Wang Ming raised his head, "If we don't finish giving Qu the grain and grass, he will come to rob it, and we can't sit back and watch them wreak havoc on the people in the south, there will inevitably be a conflict between the two sides, and the Han army will definitely sit on top of Wuguan and watch the big show." It was enough for them to firmly hold the Wuguan and lock Qu Wan in the south of Great Qin. Maybe when Qu finishes running out of food, they will support the Chu people with a little food, so that they can continue to have the strength to grab it from us. ”
General Wang has a point. The Han people want to destroy this Chu army, but if it is up to us to do it, they will naturally be the happiest, and of course, if the Chu people destroy us, they will also gladly accept it. Therefore, we still have to give this grain, grass, and medicine, not only to give, but also to give it happily. Gou Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, no one thought that this thing would end like this.
"W-what the fuck is this!" Lu Zhihui was furious.
"Food, medicine is to be given, but you can't feed the Chu people, General Gou, you have to make a trip to this matter, tell Qu Wan, as long as he continues to attack, we will provide food, medicine, and even ordnance supplies." If we take something and don't do it, then we won't be wronged in vain. ”
Gou Yi nodded, but he understood in his heart that these words were just to make everyone's face a little better, and he couldn't take the martial arts after Qu Wan, but the troops in his hands were enough to pose a threat to them. Even if it is not good, Qu Wan relies on his remaining hundreds of thousands of troops, which is enough to make the southern part of the Qin State out of control.
"Let's leave this at this beforehand, General Gou Yi is in charge, and next, we will discuss the new tactical system displayed by the Han army at this time." Meng Yong said: "Everyone has seen the detailed information, if we encounter this kind of war in Great Qin, how should we deal with it?" You must know that the weapons in our hands are similar to those of the Chu army, and the Han army, relying on the power of artillery, is enough to pose a mortal threat to us. Meng Yong raised his head and looked at the generals under the hall. Before we know what to expect, we have to have a charter beforehand. Otherwise, this battle would have been lost before it was fought, and if there was no artillery, Wuguan would not be able to resist the attack of the 200,000 army. (To be continued.) )
