Chapter 302: Soldiers Coming to the City
Zhao Xing's neck hurts a lot, the reason is that he has been looking up all the time, it has been too long.
Rubbing his neck, he sighed to the tall Qin's Beidi County Resident Fushi: "The Qin people are not only brilliant in battle, but this city is also built tall, this Fushi City has become our first strong city that needs to be overcome, after him, it is Dingyang, and then after Dingyang, we will hit the southern Great Wall of Qin, and our first goal will be achieved." ”
Qin had three Great Walls in the Hetao, the first was along the Fushi south, along the Baishui to the west of the Dali River into the mouth of the Yellow River, and along the southern end of the Hetao Plain, isolating the Linhu and Yiqu at that time within the Hetao.
With the Qin Dynasty's northward march, the second Great Wall was built, that is, from the Fugu Yellow River in later generations, to the west to the Shenmu in later generations, which was the Hetao area occupied by the erosion of Lin Hu step by step. This area was under the jurisdiction of Shangjun and was called Xinqin.
The third and the latest, from the clouds of the Zhao State, which is now the bank of the Yellow River in Tuoketuo, went all the way south, passed through Shenmu and then continued south to the Shendi of Qin, which was later Ansai North, and merged with the first Great Wall.
Now, Qin's latest Great Wall has been broken by the five cities occupied by Qin Mo at the beginning, and the second Great Wall and the first Great Wall are the nodes in front of you. As long as he is taken, then he goes south to Dingyang, and the Great Wall of Shendi is taken, Zhao Xing will take the entire Hetao area, and use the first Great Wall that Qin blocked the Hetao to protect the entire Hetao area.
It has been three days since Zhao Xing's 210,000 troops left Yicheng to face Fushi, and the army's siege preparations have been ready, and now, the time is ripe to start attacking Fushi.
"It is reported that the Qin army in the south, under the personal leadership of the King of Qin? Have you already started to move north from Xianyang? The number of troops is claimed to be 300,000. ”
Zhao Xing smiled: "King Qin is still kind, didn't call 200,000 horses 500,000? But I don't play imaginary? I'm a real 200,000, we're on par? I'm looking forward to being able to fight the mighty Qin army. ”
Xu Jie pouted: "Don't despise the Qin people's war group?" Although we carried out Hufu riding shooting? But people have long been "the same as Rong Di", and have carried out a thorough reform of the military merit system (more thorough and supporting than Zhao Xing's military merit reward), and finally defeated the Six Kingdoms, relying on a simple cavalry class and Hufu military uniform? Rather, it's a large-scale foot-foot-based mainstay? A legion stimulated by real military lords and military law. "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" is still too young in front of the centuries-old "Rong Folk Team Battle" that has been matched by military merit and military law. ”
The "team battle" here refers to the improvement of the military organization's ability to be affected by the merit of the military lord and the punishment of the military law. into a group.
Zhao Xing also pouted, because he was full of confidence in his heart. Historically? Zhao Guo's Hu Fu riding on the back of a light horse can sweep away Lou Fu Lin Hu Zhongshan? The three nations that fought disappeared in ashes, and their own 100,000 real iron horsemen equipped with saddle stirrups? Fighting the Qin army is not like playing.
Seeing these two monarchs and friends pouting at each other? Zhao Hao had to come out and give a compromise.
"Your Majesty? Zuo Xiang, although we are equal to the strength of the Qin army, we still need 100,000 infantry to attack Fushi, so that the face of the Qin army can only be my 100,000 iron cavalry, so hurry up and take Fushi and liberate 100,000 infantry, so that we can have an absolute chance of victory. ”
Zhao Xing and Xu Jie snorted at each other, and then felt that Zhao Hao was right.
"Okay, I'll attack Fushi with the infantry and the Poxi army." Zhao Xingdao.
"General Zhao Hao and I went to the south of Fushi to spy on the Qin army." Xu Jie's tacit decision.
Fighting is fighting, and it is still necessary to be cautious in fighting.
"Don't engage the Qin army first, just give me five days, and Fu Shi will take it."
Qin Mo, who was escorting the grain and grass, didn't believe it at all.
In this era, attacking a fortified city like Fushi could not be taken in half a year.
Zhao Xing understood the thinking of this ancient, so he said to Qin Mo proudly: "If I didn't need to help the people in the city to become my people, I would only need to take it in one day." ”
The method Zhao Xing said was to throw a large number of fire oil bombs from the catapult into Fushi, and burn them clean.
"In order to get the population of the city, and to leave us a complete, or near-complete city, for ourselves, that's why I said five days."
Modest, Zhao Xing thinks he is absolutely modest. Because he has in his hands the secret weapon of the Heavenly Thunder, which is the precious gunpowder.
Blow up a gap, and then swarm in, and the rest is street fighting, but it is reported that the 30,000 defenders of Fushi should destroy them in the blink of an eye.
Accept the surrender of the Qin army? Zhao Xing didn't have that kind of luck mind. Because the Qin army was a Qin army fighting to the death, they did not accept their own conditions for asking them to surrender.
This is the pride of the Qin people who have been fighting for hundreds of years.
Zhao Hao took his soldiers away, and Xu Jie also followed, which made Zhao Xing feel that his ears were much quieter.
But Zhao Xing began to worry about these two people, after all, he had to face the Qin army, the strongest army in the world, although he was full of confidence in his 100,000 iron cavalry, fighting 200,000 Qin troops, it still made Zhao Xing feel his scalp tingle.
The Qin State is an old country that has been around for hundreds of years, and under the impetus of Shang Ying's changes, even if he defeats the 200,000 troops, there will be a steady stream of reserve troops to go to the battlefield again. But after all, it is an emerging country, and after various means, the population is now only more than 3 million, especially in the case of its own national industry, where it must be young and strong. Now they can cobble together an army of 250,000, which is equivalent to feeding one soldier for every 10 people, and it is a full-time soldier, and at the same time, it is a young man who can be mobilized because they can gather it now.
To speak in conscience, this is not that he has the right to mint money in the world and has a superior industrial base, and the country has long been eaten up by the army.
In this war, Zhao Xing invested everything, and once defeated, it was a problem of military resources, which was difficult to solve in a short period of time.
This is one of the reasons why Zhao Xing has set his battle goal at just hitting the first Great Wall of Qin and defending it with the help of Qin's Great Wall.
Judging from the above performances, Zhao Xing can't afford to lose.
"Before the atomic bomb, for a country to prosper, population had to drop." Zhao Xing muttered, and ordered Zhao Wuji, who was already a handsome step by his side: "Tell the soldiers, recharge your strength today, and launch a decisive attack on Fu Shi tomorrow, we will strive to occupy this city within two days, and then rely on this city to have a battle with the Qin army." ”
Zhao Wujian said loudly and vigorously: "Yes, we will have a decisive battle with them." ”
Zhao Xing went up and kicked it: "The horse is a bastard, and there is a decisive battle, we will lose a lot in a decisive battle, and we don't have many people." Hmph, the decisive battle, let's take it step by step. ”
Qin Mo, who hadn't gone far, paused when he heard this, and then walked away with ease.
