Did the Wei army have 200,000 soldiers and horses?

The little colonel who came to report couldn't explain, so he could only say: "It's really 100,000, and now the second team has 20,000 people and has begun to attack the two wings of the camp, and the original 20,000 Wei troops on the front have increased to 30,000, and there are still Wei troops gathering in the future." ”

It has been fought, and veterans of battle have many ways to tell how many enemies there are.

Xiong Biao picked up his weapon from the shelf on the side and led people to prepare to rush and kill.

"Slow!" Xiong Zilan stopped Xiong Biao.

"Still slow?" Xiong Biao roared.

Xiong Zilan asked: "It is impossible for the Wei army to have 200,000 horses here, right?" ”

"Yes." Xiong Biao nodded heavily.

How many soldiers and horses the Wei army has in the west of Suiyang, this information has already been collected by the Chu army.

Xiong Zilan asked again: "Even if the troops are recruited temporarily, the ordnance of the Wei army in Daliang City is far from enough to equip 200,000 horses, right?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiong Biao heard the taste.

Xiong Zilan grabbed her sword: "Run, run away." Mobilize the main force to break through to the northern camp, and then set fire to the camp. ”

"Why?" Xiong Biao hasn't reacted yet.

Instead, an adjutant general said: "The Wei army does not have enough soldiers and horses on the Western Front, and even if it recruits men and horses, it has no ordnance and equipment, but there are 200,000 horses, and 100,000 outside our camp will definitely not be fake." No matter what the equipment of the Wei army on the other side of the Beiying is, whether there are 100,000 people or not, this matter is very strange, and it is possible that the Qin army moved. ”

"Qin Jun!" Xiong Biao never expected that Qin Jun would move.

"Bai Hui, it must be Bai Hui. Run. Xiong Zilan has a shadow on Bai Hui, he is most afraid of Bai Hui, he doesn't believe that he can beat the 100,000 of the Wei army with 40,000 horses in his hands.

In case Bai Hui was behind him, even if he had 100,000 Chu troops in his hands, he would not have confidence.

Seeing that Xiong Biao was still hesitating, Xiong Zilan was anxious: "If we don't escape, we will all die." In case the Han army on the side of the Great Liang has been defeated, the Wei army will have at least 120,000 soldiers and horses, and the 200,000 soldiers and horses can only be the Qin army behind them. ”

Xiong Biao gritted his teeth, he remembered that he had seen Bai Hui's subordinates perform martial arts outside Yanyi back then.

Although he was not convinced, he knew very well that he could not be defeated.

"Pass the book and order, break through."

The Chu army also has about 28,000 soldiers and 6,000 living baggage soldiers, of which 10,000 are the elite of Xiong Biao's subordinates, and 5,000 are Xiong Zilan's personal guards, all of which are elite.

Once Xiong Zilan planned to escape, the Wei army couldn't stop it at all.

The entire Chu army camp was in flames, and in order to break through, the Chu army began to set fire in three directions to block the Wei army.

It was finally dawn.

Beiying also found that the enemies they faced were false, and the bamboo frames that were left behind were the best proof of this.

Bai Hui let out a long sigh as he stood in the Hongshui camp of the Chu army, which was full of ash and smoke.

"Defeated."

Defeated?

In the eyes of Wei Wuji, in the eyes of Gongsun Kuang and Long Ci of Wei, he was a great victory, and captured the Hongshui camp of the Chu army, although a lot of the camp was burned, but there were still seventy percent of the grain and grass, and half of the camp tent.

Kill at least fifteen thousand enemies.

This is the win.

But Bai Hui still thought he had lost.

Wen Luo took out a big cloak and put it on Bai Hui: "Lord, the big account of the Chu army is not on fire, everything inside is still kept, and the Chu army fled in a hurry." ”

"Wen Luo, do you think it's a victory too?"

"Lord, it is indeed victorious."

Bai Hui asked rhetorically: "How much is the battle loss?" ”

Wen Luo replied: "The casualties are about 20,000, I don't know how many can escape over there." ”

Bai Hui said: "Even if you escape halfway, the battle loss is 25,000 people, and the Chu army only loses 15,000 people, is this called victory?" Besides, the strategic goal was not reached, Xiong Zilan ran away, and Xiong Biao also ran away. The Chu army still has the strength to fight on the western front, so what if the Wei army is in danger and controls the Hongshui camp? ”

Wen Luo nodded: "Yes, the Chu army can also transport grain, grass and ordnance from the other two lines. The Hongshui battalion seemed to be unable to block the supply line of the Chu army. ”

"If only you understood."

Wen Luo hurriedly said: "Lord, you must not say that the Wei army is incompetent, and the subordinates ask the lord to praise him more or less, as for the war, I can only think of another way." ”

Bai Hui nodded: "You're right, I can't scold them, after all, they just came over." But these fools, 90,000 horses and horses can't surround 40,000 people, and the Chu army broke the encirclement with only one charge, and they are incompetent. ”

Bai Hui was very unhappy.

In fact, the more than 200 generals of the Qin army who came with them were all on fire.

The Wei army was so weak that the weak ones couldn't even do the basic tactics, and a hedge was broken up, how could they stop the enemy without a formation.

As a result, Bai Hui didn't praise or scold, he just wanted to be quiet alone for a while.

In fact, Wei Wuji, Gongsun Kuang, and Long Ci themselves also understood that it was the Wei army that fought too badly this time, and was actually broken through the encirclement by Xiong Biao with a single charge, which was also the incompetence of the Wei army.

Therefore, the Wei generals only silently led the troops to repair the Hongshui camp, and then set up defenses and so on.

Two days later, a herald delivered Ganlu's military report.

Bai Hui opened the military newspaper and only glanced at it, leaning on the couch weakly without saying a word.

After Wen Luo picked up the military newspaper and read it, she also sighed.

Gan Lu's letter made it very clear that the battle plan to attack the Zhao army in the Qi land of the Jiang clan was canceled by himself. He fought with the Zhao army twice, and the Zhao army fell for his own scheme both times, but the Wei army's battle losses were higher than that of the Zhao army.

In the case of occupying a favorable geographical position, the Wei army could only fight a draw with the Zhao army.

If it continues to fight like this, it can only be a war of attrition, so the Zhao army chose a stalemate and defended rather than attacked. The main force of the Wei army led by Gan Lu can't take Jucheng at the moment, and can only guarantee to hold half of the Jiang clan in the southeast of Jucheng.

"Lord!"

Bai Hui waved his hand: "That's it, send a letter to Gan Lu and tell him that he has done a good job, and if the Jiang clan can't hold it and give up, it can also bring back as much of the main force of the Wei army as possible." But the Huaishui estuary must be preserved. ”

"No!"

The Huaishui estuary belonged to the Wu State at the earliest, and the Wu State was defeated by the Yue State, and it belonged to the Yue State.

Later, the Yue State was defeated by the Chu State, and the Chu State got there.

The State of Qi deceived the State of Chu 200 miles north of Huai, which belonged to the State of Qi, and after the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi, because of the tricks of the State of Chu, the 200 miles of Huaibei were lost again, and finally fell into the hands of the Jiang family.

At present, the Jiang clan has withdrawn, and all Bai Hui can no longer let go, once he gives up control of the mouth of the Huai River, it will fall into the hands of Chu or Zhao.

Let's talk about the Chu army camp.

The large battalion of the western front of the Chu army has been placed thirty miles west of Suiyang, so that the grain and grass can be supported by the large battalion of the eastern front, and the encirclement of Suiyang is more tight.
