Chapter 44: Windfall
The Qin army went back to count the number of people, and a total of 3,000 were killed, 2,000 were seriously wounded, and 5,000 were lightly wounded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info expects that the South Korean army's side will also suffer roughly the same losses. But the 1:1 battle loss ratio is not acceptable to the Qin State. The goal of the Qin State was to pacify the Six Kingdoms and dominate the world. If you continue to fight like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to destroy the six countries, and I will be consumed to death first. Therefore, the Qin State can only exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit.
Nesteng's face was gloomy, and he couldn't say a word. He can't say that he made a major mistake in this battle, opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water. Attacking the city, on the contrary, needs this spirit of fighting a tough battle, dragonfly a little water, a shallow taste, I am afraid that a city will not be able to attack. What is more difficult to accept is that the losses of the Qin army are too high. The main reason for this is that the ROK army is tightly defended and its will to fight is unprecedentedly firm.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the Qin army camp was heavy, and no one could complain about anyone, only feeling a kind of grievance that had nowhere to go. There was no other way but to treat the wounded and repair the equipment in order to fight again in the future.
The night was already deep, Ying Ping was bored, and took Bai Liang out of the camp tent, saying that he wanted to go around Xinzheng and survey the terrain. Bai Liang was not at ease, so he brought the special operations hundred-man team with him. The group mounted fast horses and headed straight for the daytime battlefield.
The moon and stars are thin, the air is cold, the battlefield has been cleaned, all the casualties of the Qin army have been carried away, the wounded have been treated, and the bones of the dead have been transported back to their hometowns. The casualties of the South Korean army are basically at the head of the city, and there are a few who fall under the city, and the South Korean army does not dare to come down to clean up, so they can only be left to fend for themselves, the real horse leather shroud.
In addition to these, there are also discarded siege equipment left under the city, which is very terrifying in the night, and the soil under the base of the city wall has turned dark red because it is stained with too much blood. A gust of wind blew, and the air was full of fishy smells. The lights of the Korean army at the head of the city are like ghost fires, if it is bright and dark, with the cold silence of this battlefield, it is reminiscent of the tragedy of the battlefield during the day, and for a moment, Yingping has a kind of horror in Shura Hell.
"Don't you hear Qinghai Head, no one collects the white bones in ancient times, new ghosts complain and old ghosts cry, and the sky is cloudy and rainy. It seems that the war is so cruel. Only by experiencing it first-hand can I know that the ancients were honest and did not deceive me! Ying Ping walked in front and muttered to himself, and Bai Liang and a hundred horsemen followed.
"What kind of poem does my brother read? It sounds so sad. Bai Liang asked.
"It's nothing, it's just a feeling." Ying Ping retracted his mind and continued to observe the majestic and tall city wall.
"I once read "The Art of War", saying that 'the first army is punished, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city', our siege is the most inferior method of warfare, which is why we have lost so many brothers. I also assured General Nei Shiten that Xinzheng must be captured in three days. Walk! To survey the terrain, first go to the north gate. "The Art of War" that Ying Ping said this time, Bai Liang has heard of it, but he hasn't read it. Suddenly, I heard Ying Ping casually read a few words, chewed carefully, and felt that it made sense.
The group roared away and went straight to the north gate. These hundred people were the elite of the elite, and they rode horses at night, and they were not affected in the slightest, and in a moment, they rode to the northwest corner of the city, and then turned around, and it was the scope of the northern city wall. Of course, they all acted out of sight of the South Korean army at the head of the city. The Han army at the head of the city did not dare to go down to the city to set up sentry posts, so they did not know that there was a team of 100 people cruising downstream of the city, which was surveying their territory.
Suddenly, Ying Ping saw a team of people coming from the north, with torches, about 100 people, walking towards the north gate of Xinzheng. In fact, they are still far away from Xinzheng, but Yingping saw them with super vision. In this dark night, who else dares to go to such a dangerous place as Xinzheng. Regardless of him, there are not many of them anyway, so go up and intercept them first and take a look.
Ying Ping explained to his subordinates, and the group walked through diagonally, heading straight for the torch-lit hundred-man team.
One accelerated, and the special operations team of 100 people ran in front of this team, just to intercept it. The team of people was under the banner of South Korea, but they didn't look like soldiers, but like ministers of envoys. At this time, they were almost in Xinzheng, but they saw a Qin army stopping them. Frightened, I immediately wanted to run.
But in front of the special operations hundred-man team, if you want to run, how can it be so easy, Bai Liang whistled, and a hundred horses scattered, just surrounding this South Korean envoy group. There are also a few people who desperately want to run, and they are immediately beheaded under the horse. During the war, human life is like a mustard, not to mention that it is an enemy country, and the Qin army will not be soft.
"Which of you is in charge?" Ying Ping patted the horse to the front and asked in a loud voice.
The Korean envoys suddenly encountered this Qin army, and they all secretly screamed unlucky, they are not martial artists, although the number is equal, if they really want to make a move, they will definitely not be able to defeat these Qin troops that are everywhere in the dark night, needless to say, they must be the elite of the Qin army. Since you can't beat it, you can only admit it.
"I am!" A young man came out of the crowd, about twelve or thirteen years old, very handsome and handsome. Ying Ping was surprised, isn't this the son of Zhang Ping, the current South Korean Prime Minister, Zhang Liang?
Ying Ping knew that this Zhang Liang was not an ordinary person, although he was a teenager, he didn't dare to despise it, and said at the moment: "It turned out to be Zhang Liang, disrespectful and disrespectful, now that you and I are at war, you appear here, what do you want?" ā
Zhang Liang snorted, not afraid of the power of winning the draw, and said: "Zhang Liang is Han Chen, you are a person from the Qin State, what do you want, I don't need to report it to you, right?" ā
Bai Liang saw that he was disrespectful, raised the knife in his hand, and was about to kill him, Yingping hurriedly stopped him, he knew that this kind of person who decided the direction of history could not be killed casually, not to mention that he also admired Zhang Liang's courage. So he smiled and said: "The kid is really bold, if you don't say it, I can guess it, you came from the north, you must have secretly communicated with the King of Wei, and went to Wei to move the rescue troops." Yes and no?! ā
The muscles on Zhang Liang's face suddenly beat slightly, after all, he was young, and he was suddenly told by Yingping, and his expression couldn't be hidden. There was silence for the moment.
Ying Ping looked at his expression and knew that he had guessed right. laughed at the moment, and said to Bai Liang: "As I expected, search his body and see if there are any good things that can be used!" ā
"No!" Bai Liang responded, and then like an eagle catching a chicken, he took Zhang Liang in his hand. He searched his hands up and down. Zhang Liang was also helpless, Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
"Brother, I found a letter, a token!"
"Show me!"
Ying Ping was on this torch and saw that this letter was covered with the jade seal of Wei, which was written by the King of Wei. Ying Ping knew the languages of various countries, and after reading ten lines at a glance, he knew at the moment that this was a promise made by the King of Wei to the King of Han that as long as Korea held on for a few more days, the 50,000 Wei soldiers of the Wei State could be transferred over to rescue Xinzheng. This is also the result of Zhang Liang's mission. Zhang Liang wanted to bring this good news to King Han as soon as possible, because he was busy on the road when it was dark, just to rush to Xinzheng as soon as possible to make King Han feel relieved, but he didn't expect that when he was about to arrive in Xinzheng, he was intercepted by Yingping, who was killed halfway.
Look at this token again, this token is dark all over, with double dragons playing with pearls, a big Korean character in the middle, and a strange and fast symbol is drawn around it. Win Ping Yixi, knowing that this is a pass given by King Han to enter and exit the Xinzheng City Gate and Palace Gate. Generally, only close ministers have it, and Zhang Liang does not have it according to his qualifications, but he has recently been on an envoy to other countries, and there are many discrepancies, and King Han also gave him a piece a few days ago.
looked at this token, then looked at the hundred members of the South Korean envoy group in front of him, and then looked at his own special operations hundred-person team. Suddenly, Ying Ping laughed and said to Bai Liang:
"Haha, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. This is really an unexpected gain, no matter how high his Xinzheng city wall is, I also have a strategy to break the enemy! ā
