Chapter 557: Battle of Yellowstone (10)
In addition to throwing canisters, they also threw boulders from time to time, these boulders were mined by the Qin army soldiers from the nearby hills, and the number was not much, but one counted as one, anyway, every time it was thrown over, it either stoned the Jin army on the opposite side to death, or smashed a hole in the city wall.
Luo Xing believes that as long as he keeps smashing persistently, he will one day collapse Huangshi Pass, which is the power of dripping stone wearing, but it will take a long time, after all, Huangshi Pass is not a small pass.
In fact, Luo Xing and other generals of the Qin army wanted to order the army to attack the city, and they didn't want to delay the time, but the casualties of the siege were too great, and the strength of the Wujin army was not much.
80,000 is reduced by half, that is, 40,000, 40,000 is a lot, but to destroy a huge empire, it is obviously too little, you know, you have to send troops to garrison the next place, 40,000 troops, about it, can only occupy one-third of the Great Jin Empire!
Five days in a flash, March 7 of the twentieth year of Shengqin!
Chenshi!
Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace!
In the hall of the Qilin Palace, Ying Chang is wearing a black dragon robe, wearing a black jade dragon crown, and is on the throne of a black carved dragon, and the ministers are all standing in the civil official queue on the left, and the military attache queue on the right is the only one who is white.
After the hundred officials finished reading this recital, Pei Ji, the chief of the military guard of Xianyang Palace, took it back, respectfully walked up to the high platform, and put the recital on the imperial case covered with golden satin.
"You Aiqing have finished reading General An Yuan's recital, I want to ask, what do you Aiqing mean? Is it to allocate oil tanks according to General An Yuan's wishes, or to directly increase troops and increase the intensity of the attack on Huangshi Pass? ”
When the words fell, Yang Ze, the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately stood out of the civil official queue, walked to the center of the main hall, and bowed down to Yingchang with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, I only see that I want to increase the troops and transfer the oil tank!" ”
"Reason!" Ying Chang replied calmly.
"Returning to Your Majesty, whether it is to increase troops or transfer oil tanks, you can increase the intensity of attacking Huangshi Pass, if you use both prongs, then it will be easier, and it will be faster to capture Huangshi Pass, the minister is worried that Daqin has not captured Huangshi Pass for a day, I am afraid that the countries will come to aid Jin, and my Daqin must clear the obstacle of Huangshi Pass before the arrival of the army of the countries to aid Jin, so that my Great Qin will be easier to attack the Jin army!" Yang Ze replied respectfully.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Zhang Feizi, the prime minister of the left and right, and Chang Zifei quickly stood up to second, and saw that the two prime ministers stood up to second, and the rest of the ministers had nothing to hesitate, and they all stood up to second Yang Ze, only the head of the household Jia Luo hesitated and looked distressed.
His distress can be understood by the ministers, don't say that Jia Luo is distressed, they are also distressed, without it, the cost of the oil tank is one or two silver cans, and all that is smashed out is money, but compared to the pension of the soldiers, this money is nothing, it is still worth it.
Ying Chang looked at Jia Luo, and said in a cold tone: "Jia Aiqing, do you have any other opinions?" ”
When Jia Luo heard this, he quickly stood up in line, and bent down respectfully to make a report: "The minister has no other opinion, and the minister seconded Lord Yang's proposal!" ”
The reason why he hesitated was just because he was worried about money and was a little reluctant to give up money.
"Since you Aiqing have no objections, then do it according to Yang Aiqing's wishes, the military department listens to the order, and dispatches 30,000 Beijing divisions to rush to the front line, and orders the Great Wall battalion Shangyang Hou to wave the division to attack the Great Wall in northern Shanxi, and the military department will transfer out all the fuel tank stocks in the arsenal and send them all to the front line, and the 30,000 Beijing divisions will be responsible for escorting!" Ying Chang has a solemn expression, and he does not give orders with anger and authority!
"Obey the order!" Yang Ze bowed down respectfully and responded!
"Your Majesty Shengming!" All the officials bent down and shouted!
"Retreat!"
"Ministers and other respectful to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
Under the congratulatory send-off of the hundred officials, Ying Chang walked down the high platform, left the solemn and sacred Qilin main hall from the apse, and waited for Ying Chang's figure to disappear from the eyes of the hundred officials, and the hundred officials walked together, leaving the Qilin Hall one after another, and the martial king Bai Qi also left with Yang Ze, the secretary of the military department, to carry out the transfer of military power.
.....
"Handle with care!"
"Be careful with this official, if this thing is broken, ten heads in your family will not be enough to cut off!"
"Who put this!"
"My lord, it was put by someone!
"Bastard, how many times have you said it, every time you put a can, you must use weeds to cushion it, otherwise the road will collide and break, who will take care of it!"
"Give me caution, be careful, be careful, this thing is easy to dye, you must be careful and careful!"
Outside the arsenal of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, several officials of the Ministry of War are supervising the officers and soldiers carrying the oil canisters.
With the passage of time, truckloads of oil canisters were transported to the camp of the Beijing division and delivered to the soldiers of the Beijing division, and at the same time, the military department also sent an order to the capital Changjing of the Great Wall battalion, ordering him to lead the army to assist Aluk Ge in attacking the Great Wall in northern Jin.
In a flash, the fire oil canisters in the arsenal were finally moved, and there were 3.7 million cans, which were all accumulated by the Great Qin Ordnance Department in recent years, one can is equal to one tael of silver, and 3.7 million cans are relative to 3.7 million taels of silver!
It's a waste of money!
3.7 million cans of oil tanks can't be transported at one time, because there are only 10,000 carts that can be used, a cart can hold 30 cans, and 10,000 carts can only hold 300,000 cans, and they don't dare to hold more, after all, the oil tanks are flammable, as long as one tank is broken, then a cart of oil tanks will be gone.
I can't ship it all at once, I can only ship it again and again, it's a big deal!
On March 10, the twentieth year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, 30,000 soldiers of the Beijing Division pushed 10,000 carts filled with fire oil canisters to Wujin Pass, and each cart required three soldiers to work together to push it, but there was no waste of manpower.
Wujin Pass is 800 miles away from Xianyang City, fortunately, the road is flat, it only takes five days to arrive, but because the oil tank must be carefully transported, so the soldiers of the Beijing Division do not dare to march quickly, the original five-day journey, it may take half a month to arrive.
March 12 of the 20th year of the Holy Qin, the Great Zhao Empire, the imperial capital of Handan, the imperial palace, and the imperial study!
On the lacquered gold carved dragon throne in the imperial study, there is a young man who is only twenty-seven years old, this young man is dressed in a golden dragon robe, wearing a white jade dragon crown, and his body exudes a strong imperial might.
