Chapter 430: Capture Chuzhou (II)
[Update a chapter today, proving that there are no eunuchs in this book, embarrassment]
Chuzhou City is broken!
On the sixth day of the second month of the twelfth year of the Qin calendar, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the city of Chuzhou was broken by the Qin army, the main general of the Vietnamese army, Xiao Tong, was killed in battle, nearly 60,000 Vietnamese troops in the city, more than 13,000 were killed in the battle, countless wounded, and no one escaped.
After breaking through the city of Chuzhou, the army of the expedition to Vietnam quickly divided into three routes, marching in the east, west and north of Chuzhou City, intending to capture Chuzhou as quickly as possible.
The elite warrior troops sent by the Great Yue Empire to support were still on the way, but they didn't know that Chuzhou City had fallen.
This is something that the high-level of the Dayue Empire can not imagine, Xiao Tong, the commander of the Yue army in Chuzhou, underestimated the combat strength of the Qin army and was defeated, but who would have thought that Chuzhou City, which is guarded by a solid and tall city wall, can also be broken by the Qin army so quickly.
Time is passing day by day, and the three-way expedition army is rapidly attacking the city in Chuzhou, and the families in Chuzhou are still sitting on the last resistance.
They are unwilling, unwilling to be occupied by the Qin army, in their opinion, this is a war between two family groups, one is the family group of the Great Yue Empire, the other is the family group of the Great Qin Empire, Chuzhou is the target of the two sides of the competition, Chuzhou has huge interests, the capture of Chuzhou by the Great Qin Empire means that the family groups of the Great Qin Empire have obtained a lot of benefits, and the interests of the family groups of the Great Yue Empire have been bitten off a large piece.
This is nothing, the most important thing is the families in the family group of the Great Yue Empire that are based on Chuzhou, Chuzhou is their base base, Chuzhou is gone, so what should they do, now they only have three choices, leave their hometown to develop elsewhere, take refuge in the Great Qin Empire, and fight to the death.
Whether it is uprooting or defecting to the Great Qin Empire, there are too many variables, this is a war between the Great Qin Empire and the Great Yue Empire, this war cannot end so easily, this will be a large-scale war that lasts for a long time, maybe Chuzhou will become the center of the war between the two countries, as for who the final victorious side of the war is.
According to the analysis of the current situation, most of the families in Chuzhou feel that the final winner will be the Dayue Empire, don't look at the current Qin army has captured the city of Chuzhou and occupied nearly half of Chuzhou, but the army of the Dayue Empire is more than the army of the Daqin Empire, the Dayue Empire has an army of 1.7 million, and the army of the Daqin Empire is less than one-third of the Dayue Empire.
Most of the troops of the Great Yue Empire are attacking Anguo, and when the millions of Vietnamese troops are called, that is, when the Great Qin Empire is defeated, it is now necessary for the Chuzhou family to resist the Qin army as much as possible, of course, they can also temporarily evacuate Chuzhou, but it is not their business to divide the interests after the war, who contributes more in this war in order to obtain more benefits, and it is impossible to get it without work.
As a result, families from all over Chuzhou recruited militia villagers to form an army to resist the menacing Qin army, and many of them joined forces.
However, no matter what, in front of the powerful Qin army, any force is a chicken, tile and dog, there is no enemy, where the Zhengyue army passed, the city was easily breached, the enemy army was easily defeated, and the loss of the Zhengyue army itself was not much.
At this time, the elite warrior troops sent by the Dayue Empire to support Xiao Tong also entered the territory of Chuzhou, but when they got the news that Chuzhou City had fallen and Xiao Tong was killed in battle, they were also confused, Xiao Tong was killed in battle, and the major families in Chuzhou were basically fighting on their own, how could they resist the Qin army, this elite warrior army did not know what to do next, and temporarily stayed in a county town to rest.
The news that Chuzhou City was captured by the Qin army has spread to Jiyin City, the imperial capital of the Dayue Empire, causing an uproar in Jiyin City, no one dares to believe that Chuzhou City has been lost like this, and many people have put the fault for the fall of Chuzhou City on Xiao Tong, a dead man, but not many people think about the real reason for the fall of Chuzhou City.
Emperor Xiao Chong convened a court meeting of ministers, wanting to find a way to deal with the Qin army, Chuzhou City has fallen, who else in Chuzhou can resist the Qin army, and if this continues, Chuzhou will be completely captured by the Qin army, and then march towards other states of the Dayue Empire, at this time, the domestic strength of the Dayue Empire is empty and ruthless, if there is no way to stop the Qin army, even if the millions of Vietnamese troops call back to defeat the Qin army, the Dayue Empire will have to pay a huge price for this.
Regret, great regret, from beginning to end, the Great Yue Empire did not attach importance to the Great Qin Empire, which was founded only twelve years ago.
When the Dayue Empire attacked Anchu and Chu, but considering the affairs of the surrounding countries, the Tang Empire was fighting endlessly, and it was impossible to make a move against the Dayue Empire, the Shengwu Dynasty was located in the central region of the land of Shenzhou, and the probability of making a move against the Dayue Empire was not great, but the Dayue Empire put hundreds of thousands of troops on the border between the two countries, and the northern hundred countries were just a loose alliance, which could jointly deal with the invading enemy, but would not jointly invade other countries.
Only on the side of the Great Qin Empire, the Great Yue Empire despised it very much, after all, at that time, the Great Qin Empire was only ten years old, the army was less than 300,000, and there was a heavenly barrier, and only a small army was needed to block the Great Qin Empire in the pass.
However, in the end, it was precisely the problem on the side of the Great Qin Empire that led to today's situation, what should I do now?
Although the high-level of the Great Yue Empire is confident in the final victory of the war, if it is unable to resist the Qin army before this, the Great Yue Empire will pay a huge price for this, and even some people have an idea in their hearts: After the Great Qin Empire plunders enough interests in the territory of the Great Yue Empire, it will evacuate the Great Yue Empire and return to the Guannei.
A feeling of helplessness arose.
The callback of the million Vietnamese troops who attacked Anguo will naturally minimize the losses of the Dayue Empire, but the plan of the Dayue Empire to destroy Anguo will also be half bankrupt, and I don't know how much it will cost to take Anguo again, and whether the Daqin Empire will continue to attack the Dayue Empire at that time.
In the form of a crisis, it is impossible to transfer back all the millions of Vietnamese troops, but it doesn't matter if the 100,200,000 are transferred back, after all, the Great Yue Empire has a huge advantage over Anguo, and the transfer of some troops will only prolong the time for the destruction of Anguo a little.
Transferring back 200,000 elite troops, and recruiting a large number of new recruits in various places, the combination of the two has both quantity and quality, and it is very likely to resist the Qin army.
After the resolution, Emperor Xiao Chong immediately issued a decree that the withdrawal of 200,000 troops must be completed as soon as possible and a large number of new troops must be formed.
All parts of the Dayue Empire were busy because of Xiao Chong's will, and the pace of the march of the expedition did not stop, nearly half a month later, Chuzhou was completely occupied by the expeditionary army, and Wang Shuo stood at the forefront of the expeditionary army and began a new journey.
