Chapter 961: Annihilation of the Shu Army's 100,000 Baggage Battalion!
At the beginning, when 40,000 cavalry were gathered to charge out of the city, Wang Kai, the general of Zuo who was in charge of the entire battle of Shuxi County, was very confident, because the pottery was built on the mountain, and going out of the city was going down the mountain, which meant that the cavalry was diving out of the city and charging, as we all know, the impact of the dive was the strongest, and a charge could break the blockade line under the mountain.
What Wang Kai didn't expect was that Yang Zhong had already been covered with anti-spurs at the foot of the mountain, and behind the rejecting spur formation, the Qin army also laid a crossbow array, and finally the 40,000 Shu army swooped down, burying more than 20,000 cavalry, and did not break the Qin army blockade, and the Qin army also lost more than 1,000 infantry.
Wang Kai was unwilling, and on August 10, he once again gathered the remaining 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, and attacked the Qin army blockade again, and finally ended in defeat again, the cavalry was wiped out, and the 40,000 Shu infantry lost 10,000.
The casualties of the Qin army did not exceed a thousand.
Two successive defeats, coupled with the gradual depletion of food, the morale and fighting spirit of the Shu army plummeted.
The keen Yang Zhong clearly perceived that the morale of the Shu army was about to collapse, and thought that he could capture Taodu in one fell swoop, and then gave an order, and nearly 300,000 Qin troops attacked together from the southeast, south, and northwest, but Yang Zhong underestimated the Shu army, underestimated the terrain, and paid nearly 2,000 casualties as soon as he went up.
Yang Zhong didn't say a word and directly ordered a retreat, giving up the siege, and at the same time the Qin army failed to attack the city, so that the demoralized Shu army returned a little blood, Wang Kai, who was stunned, thought that this time was a good time to kill a horse pistol, so on August 17, that is, yesterday, he personally led 100,000 infantry out of the city!
Obviously, the Shu army failed in the charge, leaving behind 50,000 corpses and fleeing back to Taodu City.
From the beginning of the siege to today, nearly a month, the two sides have fought a total of four times, the Qin army won three victories and one defeat, lost more than 6,000 soldiers, the Shu army lost 100,000 soldiers, only 130,000 Shu troops remained in the city, and the Qin army still had more than 290,000, and the troops were still abundant.
Five miles east of Taodu, the camp of the Qin army!
Handsome tent!
In the tent, General Yang Zhong and General Yang Wu were each dressed in black armor, the former sat on the right side of the tent, and the latter stood on the right side of the tent.
I don't know how long later, there was a burst of frolicking noise outside the tent, and then the bloodied Yang Yi walked in with a head, Yang Yi threw the head in his hand on the ground, and shouted to Yang Zhong on the handsome position with a solemn expression:
"The last general will live up to the general's order, behead 60,000, capture 40,000, the last general personally beheaded the six generals in Shu, and the main general Li Ao also died under the last general's gun, and this head on the ground is the main general of the Shu army, Li Ao!"
Five days ago, Yang Zhong was ready to let Yang Wu lead an army of 30,000 to attack the 100,000 heavy battalion of the Shu army twenty miles west of Taodu, but Yang Yi forcibly took over this task, wanting to prove that even if he broke his arm, he was one of the best generals.
Yang Zhong had no choice but to hand over this task to Yang Yi, and now, five days later, Yang Yi is back, he used his strength to prove that breaking an arm is nothing, and he can still win more with less, and kill many enemy generals.
Yang Zhong immediately got up from his handsome position, walked in front of Yang Yi, and carefully looked at Yang Yi's whole body with a worried expression, Yang Yi grinned when he saw this, "General, I'm not injured, hehe!" ”
Yang Zhong and Yang Wu both showed knowing smiles, but then their faces changed, and they saw Yang Yi's eyes roll and fall backwards.
"Doctor Rush to the Army!"
"Come on!"
Yang Zhong Yang was not panicked for a while, and hurriedly called the military doctor.
After the diagnosis of the military doctor, Yang Yi was only overtired, and it was good to rest for a while.
After receiving the reply from the military doctor, Yang Zhong and Yang Wu were very puzzled, thinking to themselves, what kind of earth-shattering battle did Yang Yi fight with the Shu army, and he was actually tired and fainted.
After asking the soldiers in the same company, I learned that the 30,000 Qin troops led by Yang Yi actually defeated the 100,000 Shu army baggage battalion in only half a day, but Yang Yi pursued desperately in pursuit of greater results, and chased for a whole day and a night before he achieved a great victory of beheading 60,000, capturing 40,000, beheading six generals and beheading the main general!
Yang Yi's battle not only eliminated the threat posed by the Shu army's baggage battalion, but also captured 1 million stone of military rations, 8,000 fat pigs, 3,000 fat sheep, and a number of armor and arrows, allowing the Qin army to replenish all the consumption in the past three months since the start of the war!
In this battle, the Qin army also suffered a lot of losses, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed on the spot, more than 500 seriously wounded soldiers bled to death when they returned, and nearly 2,000 lightly wounded soldiers were sent to the wounded barracks for treatment, all of which added up to almost 5,000 casualties.
Coupled with this battle, this month, the Qin army has clashed with the Shu army five times, the Qin army won four victories and one defeat, suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the Shu army lost 200,000 soldiers!
The Shu Dynasty was once again hit hard, and now the Shu Dynasty has at most about 200,000 soldiers and horses across the country in addition to the 130,000 Shu troops in Taodu, and in terms of troops, it has been dragged flat by the Qin army.
In some time, Taodu will be completely cut off, and the 130,000 Shu troops in the city will be wiped out soon, and the Qin army will have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, which will lead to the victory balance of the entire Qin-Shu War tilting towards the Qin army!
At the same time、Tao Du!
The county guard's house, the public court!
"Bang!"
"Bastard!"
"Damn!"
"The Qin people deceive people too much!"
In the county guard mansion hall, Wang Kai, the general of the left of Dashu, scolded angrily, and smashed one exquisite utensil after another, so that the county guard on the side of the hall saw blood in his heart, and all the generals in the hall bowed their heads and did not dare to speak!
Why is Wang Kai angry? Because he had just received the news that the baggage battalion had been wiped out!
He was originally not short of food, but after the arrival of 200,000 reinforcements from the imperial court, Taodu City soon ran out of food, but fortunately, Huang Jie, the commander of the 200,000 reinforcements, told him that there were still 100,000 baggage camps behind the reinforcements, and it was expected to enter the city in three days.
Hearing the news, Wang Kai didn't take the matter of this grain to heart, but when he opened his eyes at dawn, his subordinates told him that Taodu City was surrounded by the Qin army, and the baggage camp was stopped outside and could not enter.
This is not enough, Wang Kai did not say a word and directly ordered 40,000 cavalry to charge out of the city, trying to break through the blockade of the Qin army, and take the heavy battalion into the city, but finally lost his troops and ended in failure.
In the next month, Qin and Shu clashed several times, Shu won one and lost three, the Qin army suffered no more than 10,000 casualties, and he suffered 100,000 casualties, but now someone told him that the 100,000 baggage battalion was wiped out, 1 million stone grain, 8,000 fat pigs, 3,000 fat sheep, and a number of armor and arrows, all of which went to the Qin army camp!
Wang Kai was furious, and wanted to arrest Leo, the owner of the baggage battalion, and beat him, and asked him how he guarded the grain.
