Chapter 145: Reinforcements Arrive
Giving the soldiers a rest and then pouring cold water on them to sober up is more likely to make them break down.
"How much longer can we hold out?" Fusu asked.
"Combined with the spirit of the soldiers and the condition of food and grass, we can still hold out for three days." Meng Tian said.
"Hopefully the Imperial reinforcements will arrive in time." Fusu Road.
The Hu people were extremely fierce, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they always went south, wanting to occupy the great rivers and mountains, but were always repelled by the Zhao and Yan states, forcing the two countries to build the Great Wall to defend against the enemy.
Now that the empire has unified the world, they still want to invade, besieging 200,000 Mengjia troops trapped in Shangjun, and their momentum is even more arrogant.
In three days, the Hu people attacked the city no less than 30 times, and the Mengjia army fought bravely, repelling the enemy again and again, but lost more than 50,000 soldiers.
Meng Tian looked at the black and oppressive army of Hu people outside the city, his face was solemn, but he couldn't find a way.
"Childe, the city is about to be broken, we will send you back to Xianyang City." Meng Tian said.
Fusu shook his head and said, "My father exiled me to Beijun, and I can't return to the imperial capital without his will."
"Childe, Your Majesty must be worried about your safety, but the reinforcements have not yet arrived, we will break through the Hu people's defense line and send you to the reinforcements." Meng Tian said.
Fusu stopped and said, "If the father's holy decree does not come, Fusu will not leave Shangjun for a day."
Meng Tian's persuasion was useless many times, and then he waved his sword and pointed outside the city, and said: "Brothers of the Meng family's army, Gongzi Fusu is behind me, he is the future of the empire, we must not let him have a mistake, even if we fall the last person, we can protect Gongzi safe and sound."
In the camp of the Hu army, the king of Donghu looked at Shangjun proudly, and said: "The military division has a good plan, let Meng Tian carelessly underestimate the enemy, so as to trap them in Shangjun, cut off the grain and grass, and break the city is just around the corner."
"King, the Mengjia army is the main force of the King of Qin, as long as they are annihilated, the King of Qin can no longer compete with us, and can only bow down to the King."
Next to the king of Donghu stands the military advisor of the Hu people, Situr, who is known as the first think tank of Donghu.
Meng Tian led his troops to Shangjun and fought him dozens of times, although he often had the upper hand, but Donghu's losses were not great.
At the beginning of the month, they designed to lure Meng Tian out, and the Mengjia army lost 50,000 soldiers, and the Mengjia army could not resist their ferocity, so they could only be forced to retreat to Shangjun.
The Hu army broke through the defenses of the Great Wall and besieged Shangjun for more than 20 days, and their main target was Gongzi Fusu.
As long as they capture Gongzi Fusu, even if the war is lost in the end, they have the most important bargaining chips in their hands, and they are not afraid of King Qin's anger.
"Back to the king, there is a large army coming straight from the southwest of Shangjun."
Their scouts came back to report that reinforcements from the Qin army had arrived.
King Donghu said indifferently: "The king of Qin wants to build an imperial mausoleum, but there is no army to mobilize, and reinforcements are coming, and they will be annihilated."
Situr asked, "How many men are coming?"
The scout said, "Judging from their military flags and the sight of their hurry, there should be 200,000 troops."
"How is that possible!" King Donghu got up from his chair and said in disbelief.
According to the intelligence they had gathered from the Qin Dynasty, the King of Qin could only mobilize a maximum of 30,000 or 200,000 soldiers, and it was impossible to have an army of 200,000.
"What was the scene like for them to be on their way?" Situr asked calmly.
"The smoke and dust are billowing, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and tens of thousands of flags are swaying." Scout said.
"Who's handsome?" He asked again.
The scout shook his head and said, "I don't know, I saw the military flag hanging with the word Chu!"
"Could it be Chu Yun!" Situr was surprised.
Chu Yun's name, I don't know the Megatron Empire, and even the Hu people have spread his deeds.
It can break through the Baiyue Kingdom in a month, and the 50,000 troops will annihilate the 100,000 troops of the Baiyue Kingdom, and there will be few casualties.
The flag is Chu, in their intelligence, only Chu Yun can take on the important task.
They looked up in the direction of the Qin army's support, and sure enough, the sky in the distance was shrouded in smoke and dust, and they saw that there were indeed 200,000 troops in the formation.
"If Chu Yun leads 200,000 Qin troops to support, and Shangjun has more than 100,000 troops, once they are flanked in front and back, it will be unfavorable to us." Situr said.
He has seen Baili Xiongshi, and he understands the ability of Baili Xiongshi, which is indeed a rare general.
But the Baili Xiongshi was defeated at the hands of Chu Yun, and Situr knew that Chu Yun's resourcefulness was absolutely terrifying.
"Why did Chu Yun lead 200,000 male troops here, but we didn't know any information?" King Donghu shouted.
"Back to the king, I heard that the straight road from Xianyang to Shangjun was suggested by Chu Yun, and he led the Qin army to come quickly, and all the officials of Great Qin must keep it secret, and no one will reveal a word, so we can't collect information about the Qin army." The scout said.
Anyone who leaks information will exterminate the three clans, and even those officials have rarely come out to operate recently, and they are worried that the hidden Hu people will get information.
"Strategist, what should we do then?" Donghu Wang Road.
Chu Yun is known as the god of war, if it is said that King Donghu has two people who are in awe of Great Qin, one is King Qin, and the other is Chu Yun.
"Great King, I suggest withdrawing from the Great Wall first, Chu Yun's means are unfathomable, if he leads the twenty armies to come, it is better for us to avoid the edge for the time being." West Tourdao.
"What the military advisor said is reasonable." Donghu Wang Road.
There are 100,000 Qin troops in Dongjun, and when they see a hope, they will burst out with brave combat power, several times more than usual, and if they combine with 200,000 "Qin troops" and attack back and forth, they will be defeated.
"The mourning soldiers will win, and their edge cannot be shaken." Situr said.
Dongjun saw the dust billowing in the sky in the distance, and immediately pointed in that direction and shouted, "General, look."
The Meng Jiajun looked up at the sky, the sky was full of smoke and dust, and it was obvious that an army was rushing towards it.
They originally wanted to go out of the city and Donghu to break the net and send Fusu back to Xianyang City safely, but things took a turn for the better.
"That's our reinforcements, they've arrived." Fusu Gongzi said excitedly.
Judging from the direction of that army, it was the Qin army that came from Xianyang City and came to support.
Meng Tian was very excited and shouted: "The generals will listen to the order and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy."
However, the Donghu army quietly retreated, and by the time the Mengjia army rushed out of the city gate, they had retreated for dozens of miles.
"The flag is Chu, who is the commander of this reinforcement?"
They found that after the Donghu army retreated, they did not chase after it, but joined the reinforcements, but the general flag of the reinforcements was a Chu character, which made Meng Tian puzzled.
"It's General Chu." Fusu Gongzi's lips trembled, the huge empire can only have the ability to command an elite general surnamed Chu.
"This army has at least 200,000, the Zhang family army led by Zhang Han went to Songhai, and the Wang family army guarded Xianyang, how could Chu Yun lead an army of 200,000?" Meng Tian said curiously.
In the imperial army, only Zhang Han, Wang Li and Meng Tian have heavy troops, and there are still 100,000 soldiers to enter the imperial mausoleum to accompany the burial, and they can't mobilize 200,000 at all.
"General Chu is very capable, his words will definitely work." Fusu Gongzi smiled.
