Chapter 134: Abandoning the Son and Increasing the Troops (2nd Update)
From noon to evening, although the Xiongnu have been attacking the city non-stop, they have never caused much damage to the defenders of Yanmen, who have a bunch of famous generals to help. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Under Yue Fei's perfect defensive command, the Yanmen army only suffered 500 casualties on the first day of the siege, but the Xiongnu suffered 3,000 casualties, and the casualty ratio of 1:6 really shocked the eyes of a bunch of people.
If Yue Fei commanded the regular army to achieve such a record, it would indeed be nothing surprising, but it should be known that Yue Fei only relied on a group of recruits who had been trained for three days, but he hit a casualty ratio of 1:6, which can definitely be regarded as a miracle.
Because of the attention of the young lord Qin Hao, Yue Fei's promotion speed was fast, and he only joined the Yanmen Army for a few days and became the general who commanded the 7,000 army to defend Yanmen Pass.
There was also a group of people in the Yanmen army who were waiting to see Yue Fei's jokes, but Yue Fei slapped those people hard with facts.
After this battle, Yue Fei was no longer dissatisfied with the generals in the army, after all, the achievements of the people were there, even if he was the lord and the young master, commanding a group of recruits may not necessarily be as good as Yue Fei.
As for the sudden withdrawal of the Xiongnu, it made Yue Fei feel a little inexplicable, obviously he was ready for a night battle, how could he say that he would withdraw?
And just as Yue Fei expected, Hu Chuquan really wanted to attack the city overnight, not ready to give the Yanmen army a chance to breathe, but was stopped by Yu Fuluo before giving the order.
Although Yu Fuluo does not care about the lives of ordinary soldiers, but the loss of injuries at Yanmen Pass is too heavy, which is not conducive to the implementation of his later plans.
However, it was Yu Fuluo's woman's kindness that gave the Yanmen defenders a chance to breathe, and at the same time made Hu Chuquan miss the best opportunity to seize the pass.
On the first day of the siege, the Yanmen army did take advantage on the surface, but that was only because the Yanmen defenders were in the best state in terms of physical strength and fighting spirit on the first day.
Don't look at the Xiongnu's siege of the city for a whole day, it didn't bring too many casualties to the Yanmen army, but in fact, it consumed a lot of physical strength of the Yanmen defenders.
The Xiongnu had an army of 100,000 as their backing, and used the tactics of attacking the city in turns, and the combat effectiveness of the siege team was always at its peak.
However, the Yanmen garrison is only 7,000, although there are Xiongguan guards, but the competition consumption is definitely not comparable to the Huns.
As time goes by, the defenders' physical strength decreases and the number of casualties increases, making it more and more difficult to defend the city, and the casualties will increase.
However, these were all expected by Qin Hao, and what he and Wang Meng wanted was this kind of effect, so they would leave Yue Fei with so many people.
The more tragic Yue Fei's defense at Yanmen Pass, the more real the illusion of the emptiness of the Yanmen Pass troops, and the greater the possibility of Yu Fuluo's scheme.
In order to make Yu Fuluo scheming, Qin Hao has also begun to use unscrupulous means, and the 7,000 defenders on the Yanmen Pass are the bait used by Qin Hao to lure Yu Fuluo's 100,000 army.
…………
In the big tent of the Xiongnu Chinese army, Yu Fuluo sat on the main seat with a hideous face and said nothing, and the atmosphere in the big account was solemn to the extreme.
After a long time, Yuvro finally asked, "How many people have been lost?" ”
Hu Chuquan's face was a little ugly, and he responded bluntly: "Three thousand." ”
"What about the Yanmen Army?"
“…… Less than five hundred. ”
"Rubbish, it's all rubbish!" Yu Fuluo angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand and roared at Hu Chuquan: "The 100,000 army can't take the Yanmen Pass defended by thousands of people, what use do you have?" ”
After a day of observation, Yu Fuluo can be regarded as understanding that there are not even 10,000 defenders at Yanmen Pass, and at most there are only six or seven thousand.
Like Yanmen Pass, which has been passed for thousands of years, six or seven thousand people guarding the pass and ten thousand people guarding the pass, is not a concept at all.
Because there are not enough troops to fill it, it is simply not enough to give full play to the power of the war machine of Yanmen Pass, and a large fortress like Yanmen Pass, if you want to ensure that it is impregnable, it must not be less than 10,000 people.
If the defense of Yanmen Pass can be fully utilized, it can resist ten times its own strength for at least a month.
However, if the defenders are less than 10,000 and they have to face an enemy army ten times their size, there will be obvious defense loopholes, as long as the loopholes are addressed, it is not difficult to break through in two or three days!
Hu Chuquan didn't explain Yu Fuluo's reprimand, but just lowered his head in shame, after all, this siege was indeed under his command, and the loss was so big, this is an indisputable fact.
"Just plain your anger." At this time, the king of Yougu Li stood up and pleaded: "This time I didn't take Yanmen Pass, it can't be blamed for being a virtuous king, that Yue Fei's ability to defend the city is even higher than Gao Shun, our army is not prepared, and careless to love the enemy, and the defeat is indeed not unjust." ”
"Yes, although we didn't capture Yanmen Pass this time, it wasn't without gains, at least we found out the reality of the Yanmen Army. Yanmen Pass, which has only six or seven thousand defenders, is only a matter of time before it is captured by our army, so why rush for a while? King Zuo Gu Li analyzed it unhurriedly, and after hearing this, Yu Fuluo's face finally improved a little.
At this time, the king of Yougu Li suddenly interjected: "Shan Yu, the first dangerous pass of my Great Huns going south, I encountered such fierce resistance, after Yanmen Pass, there is Guangwu, and then Jinyang. Although the defense of these cities is not as good as Yanmen Pass, if the Han people continue to defend it, it will still bring us a lot of trouble, and Qin Wen will return to the army soon. ”
Yu Fuluo couldn't help but be silent for a while, the news of Qin Wen's return to the army invisibly increased the great pressure on Yu Fuluo, he fought with Qin Wen dozens of times over the years, and he never won once, Qin Wen has become his inner demon.
After Yu Fuluo pondered for a while, his misty eyes gradually became firm, and he said slowly: "It seems that 100,000 iron horsemen are still not enough to take the entire state. The order was given to Yu Zhi, and 20,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 servant troops were quickly transferred from Monan to participate in the battle. ”
The servant army is sent by the tribes attached to the Xiongnu and follows the general name of the Xiongnu cooperative combat force, but its combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of the Xiongnu, otherwise it will not be conquered by the Xiongnu!
"What, more troops?" Hu Chuquan exclaimed.
Coupled with the 40,000 troops that have been lost, the Yanmen army has invested 140,000 troops, and 40,000 are being transferred, which is 180,000, although 40,000 of them are Xiongnu servant troops, but they still occupy most of the Xiongnu's strength.
Is it really worth it to gamble on the fortunes of the Huns just for an illusory goal? Hu Chuquan's heart swayed a little.
