Chapter 276: The soldier refers to Han Cheng

On this side, Han Wangan kept promising Qin Wu in exchange for support, and on the other side, Lian Po and Zhao Hao, who had an alliance agreement with the Wu army, also kept writing letters, asking Qin Wu to send troops to the party and attack the Qin army with the Zhao army.

Compared with Han Wang'an's temptation to benefit, Lian Po and Zhao Hao tried to recruit Qin Wu to fight for Zhao in the name of the alliance, which was obviously impossible.

At the same time, envoys from Qin and Wei also rushed to Daegu one after another, and Qin Wuguan's purpose was to reconnoiter the situation of the Wu army, to find out the position of the Wu army, and to ally with the Wu army, or at least to ask the Wu army to remain neutral and not participate in the battle on both sides.

As for the thoughts of various countries, Qin Wu put them all aside and ignored them. After driving all the envoys from various countries out of Daegu City, Qin Wu continued to concentrate on the training of Fengwu cavalry and local warriors.

Since the training of elite soldiers needs to be carried out in the field, and the current Daegu City has attracted too many people's attention because of Qin Wu's unclear attitude, as a result, everyone knows that Qin Wu is training an elite army.

Such a result is like a fish in the throat, making countries very uncomfortable and helpless.

Even if you are aware of Qin Wu's threat, will you dare to attack Daegu City? That might make it possible to wipe out the Warriors, but once you do, you're guaranteed to be killed by your enemies without mercy.

As a result, the Qin State and the Zhao State were still in a stalemate on the party, and the Chu-Han coalition army and the Wei army launched a tragic offensive and defensive battle around Hancheng. And sandwiched between these five countries, Qin Wu is like a nerd who doesn't listen to things outside the window and only reads the books of sages, and he is bored to develop his strength.

And just like that, a month passed.

In the course of this month, the original Chu-Han coalition army of 160,000 people was killed and wounded 80,000 inside and outside Hancheng, and then received the support of 50,000 Chu troops from Chu on the way, and now there are 130,000 people.

The Chu-Han coalition army lost 80,000 casualties, and the Wei army defending the city suffered 60,000 casualties, and the east gate was lost, and it was supported by 30,000 Wei troops on the way, and now there are 70,000 people left, which is twice as small as the Chu-Han coalition army.

As for the Shangdang side, Lian Po adopted the strategy of fortifying the wall, and the army only stuck to the city and did not take the initiative to attack.

The losses of the besieging side are always much greater than those of the defending side, and the Qin army of Shangdang consumed too much vital force because of the previous attack on the wild city defended by Qin Wu, resulting in the total strength of the Qin army being lower than that of the Zhao army, so Bai Qi did not want to find a way to attack the city by himself.

And not far to the east, there was a powerful Qin Wu sitting in the town, which was also the reason why Bai Qi did not dare to act rashly, so the battle of the Shangdang lasted for a long time.

And Qin Wu, who received the most attention, 11,000 earth warriors and 1,000 wind warrior cavalry finally completed their training, changed into red high-quality military armor, and became an elite soldier in ten battles.

After the successful establishment of the Diwu Battalion and the Fengwu Battalion, Qin Wu tested the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers of the Ten Battles.

The final result is that the elite soldiers of the Ten Battles and the ordinary soldiers collide together, and the elite soldiers of the Ten Battles can kill the ordinary soldiers without much effort, and the lives of themselves are very small. In wheel warfare, you can defeat ten ordinary soldiers when your own health is exhausted.

And three ordinary soldiers besiege a ten-battle elite soldier, and the ten-battle elite soldier can still kill these three ordinary soldiers one by one, and then he can still have some life left.

However, if a battle formation is formed, ten elite soldiers in ten battles are enough to defeat fifty ordinary soldiers, and a hundred elite soldiers in ten battles are worth a small corps of six or seven hundred people. And the more people there are, and the more comrades around them, if you only need to fight forward, the stronger the strength of the elite soldiers.

A 1,500-strong army of ground warriors, if nothing else, can defeat a 10,000-strong army of ordinary soldiers.

Only after testing it in person did Qin Wu understand the horror of elite soldiers.

I remember that on the night of the attack on Hancheng, 10,000 Korean Janissaries were ambushed, hit by fire, and besieged on three sides for a long time, all of which lost only 4,000 people, while the Wu army paid nearly 10,000 casualties. If it weren't for Qin Wu charging into battle alone and capturing Han Wang'an, he might not know how many casualties it would take to annihilate this Praetorian Guard.

And his own enemy is also stupid, 10,000 Korean Janissaries have such a strong combat effectiveness, if Han Wangan did not abandon the city and flee that night, but led the Praetorian Guards to attack the North Gate, Qin Wu may not be able to defend the North Gate, and then capture the entire Han City.

After the training of the two battalions of Diwu and Fengwu, Qin Wu began to count the combat strength of the Wu army.

There are 10,000 warriors, 1,000 cavalry, 50,000 soldiers, 20,000 archers, 3,000 cavalry, 400 chariots, 5,000 heavily armored sword and shield soldiers, 3,000 mages, and 3,000 warlocks.

There were 11,000 elite soldiers in the Ten Wars, 85,000 ordinary troops, and a total army of 96,000 people.

At this point, Qin Wu played the banner of 100,000 troops, in order to test the combat effectiveness of the new army, and at the same time, in order to find new results to devour, in order to continue to strengthen the combat power of the army, Qin Wu left Feng Quji and 10,000 Ge soldiers, 10,000 archers to guard Daegu City, and personally led Xiang Yu, Feng Zai, Xi Qishu, Yusu, Zhao Ji, Han E, and an army of 76,000 people, and chose to march eastward.

Qin Wu's first action, which had been silent for a long time, was full of gunpowder, as terrifying as a ferocious hungry wolf, which startled the army of the Three Kingdoms in Han Cheng, and the Wu army was just ready to go on the expedition, and on the way, Qin Wu successively encountered the envoys sent by the Chu-Han coalition army and the Wei state.

"General Qin, you led the army this time, I don't know if you want to help us Chu and Han, or stand on the side of the unrighteous Wei State?"

Qin Wu first met with the envoys of Chu and Han, and as soon as they met, the envoys of Chu first saluted Qin Wu, and then asked very directly.

"Naturally, I want to aid Chu and Han in this war, help the king of Han recapture Hancheng, and drive all the unrighteous Wei troops back to Wei. However, in order to avoid Wei retaliation against me afterwards, I need a legitimate identity and a piece of land large enough to house my army of 100,000. ”

Qin Wu smiled lightly.

"General Qin, the king will definitely be very happy with your choice, and I will go back and report your words to the king truthfully."

The Korean envoy on the side said with a smile of excitement on his face.

Previously, Han Wang'an had promised heavy profits three times in a row, wanting to win over Qin Wu and form an alliance, so after listening to Qin Wu's words, the envoys of Chu and Han knew that this alliance was very likely to be reached, and with the support of Qin Wu's 100,000 troops, the Chu and Han coalition forces would definitely be able to recapture Hancheng in one fell swoop, and drive all the Wei troops in Korea back.

As for Qin Wu, it is enough to recruit An to come and call him as a thug, when the strong enemy retreats, a small Qin Wu who only has 100,000 troops, is it still difficult to be the opponent of the united Chu and Han countries?

After sending off the envoys of Chu and Han, Qin Wu continued his march, and a day later, the envoys of Chu and Han went and returned, bringing Qin Wu the new conditions proposed by Han Wang'an.

Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, Han Wang'an's conditions this time are better than the previous three conditions, the first of which is to marry the youngest daughter who is twenty-eight years old to Qin Wu, so that Qin Wu has the name of a concubine, and there are five royal daughters to marry, so that Qin Wu can become the national relative of South Korea.

Is this identity justified enough? Qin Wu, are you dissatisfied, are you happy?

Secondly, Han Wangan also drew a big pie for Qin Wu. Don't you want land? After helping me drive the Wei army back, the entire land of Shangdang, plus a Daegu city, will be yours, as long as you have the ability to come back.

Anyway, the party fell into the hands of Qin and Zhao, and Han Wangan knew that it was impossible to come back, and Daegu City was occupied by Qin Wu and operated as a base camp for nearly two months, and Han Wangan didn't expect to get Daegu City back from Qin Wu, so he simply rewarded all the things that were not his own.

For Han Wang'an's new condition, Qin Wu was extremely satisfied.

Shangdang was originally a place that Qin Wu had always coveted, and now Han Wangan himself sent Shangdang to himself justifiably, so after defeating the Wei army, Qin Wu could legitimately march to Shangdang in the name of recovering the territory.

At the same time, Han Wang'an married his daughter and five royal daughters to Qin Wu, so that Qin Wu had the name of his country's relatives, and Qin Wu would have the foundation to replace Han Wang'an and rule the whole of Korea.

Like the three families that were divided into Jin back then, they were all great families of the Jin Kingdom, and they broke down the Jin Kingdom from the inside, so as to reduce the covetousness of the other surrounding vassal states for the land of the Jin Kingdom.

Han Wangan thought that the conditions he had promised were not worth mentioning, but he was able to recruit Qin Wu and get a powerful thug to drive away the bullies who occupied his house. But he didn't know that these two conditions were exactly what Qin Wu needed, Han Wang'an chased the tiger and chased the wolf, but he didn't have the strength to control the tiger, and it was natural to be eaten by the tiger later.

Qin Wu agreed to Han Wang'an's conditions and secretly reached an alliance with Chu and Han, so he accelerated his march to Hancheng.

Chu and Han received Qin Wu's response, and Wei naturally knew that Qin Wu was likely to be friend or foe.

Knowing that nothing could be done, Wei Wuji sent an application for help to the Wei side, on the one hand, he ordered tens of thousands of Wei troops defending the city in the north of Hancheng to pour out of the nest to cover the retreat of the main Wei army in Hancheng, and on the other hand, he ordered Leyang to stick to the west and south gates of Hancheng and drag the main force of the Chu-Han coalition army, while Wei Wuji himself personally led the main force of 50,000 Wei troops in an attempt to break through and return to China.

The Wei army in Hancheng was only 70,000 people, while the Chu-Han coalition army was 130,000 people, and under the pressure that Qin Wu was about to lead a large army to the battlefield in Hancheng, Wei Wuji's breakthrough battle was destined to be very difficult.

In the end, with the response of the 50,000 Wei troops who rushed to the rescue, Wei Wuji finally broke out of the siege with only 20,000 people.

And Leyang, who held on to Hancheng and dragged the main force of the Chu-Han coalition army, was completely annihilated.

Le Yang, the commander of the 20,000 Wei army, and Ximen Leopard, the general who was redeemed from the Qin army, led a cavalry to fight their way out of the siege before the army of the Chu-Han coalition army blocked the west and south city gates, and then marched away.

By the time Qin Wu arrived at Hancheng, the battle of Hancheng had already ended for half a day.

"Virtuous son-in-law, you're a step late."

Outside Han Cheng, Han Wang'an, who had just won a big battle and flirted with a high face, but pretended to be very calm, looked at Qin Wudao with a faint smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter if it's late, defeating the Wei army is the most important thing."

Qin Wudao.

After the capture of Hancheng, Han Wang'an's first thing to do was not to pursue and defeat the retreating Wei army, but to restore his rule over Hancheng, the administrative center of Korea, and restore his rule over the whole of Korea.

Ordered Feng Zai, Xi Qishu, and Han E to lead the army to camp outside the city, and Qin Wu, who was invited by Han Wang'an, took Xiang Yu, Zhao Ji, Yu Sue and a group of guards into the city together.

In the month when Qin Wu trained elite soldiers, Hancheng can be said to have become the battlefield of the Great War of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Chu and Han. The last time Qin Wu came to Hancheng once, he still remembered this prosperous city vividly, but this time when he entered Hancheng, most of the buildings in the city were either burned to charcoal with black smoke, or they were affected by the battle, and they were not destroyed.

The city was littered with the corpses of soldiers, broken weapons and armor, arrows stuck everywhere in the houses, and dirty banners stuck on the ground.

There were fires in many places, and the soldiers in the city were busy extinguishing the flames, almost all of them were wearing torn armor and stained with red blood, and they were either expressionless, or resolute, or angry, silently cleaning a messy battlefield in Hancheng.

Seeing this scene, Qin Wu, Han Wang'an and Gongzi, who were side by side, had solemn expressions on their faces and a lot of emotion in their hearts.

The devastation of the battle is undoubtedly enormous, and it will take at least a few years for Hancheng to regain its former prosperity.

Moreover, because of the war, all kinds of contradictions in South Korea broke out at once, bandits were rampant, bandits were numerous, wealthy families divided land and ruled, and there were hundreds or thousands of private soldiers, ignoring the empty troops of the towns and towns, and the people were miserable.

It can be said that when this war is completely over, the population of South Korea will be reduced by at least one or two percent.

If it is not necessary, it is better to fight in the territory of the enemy country.

After everyone sighed for a while, Han Wang'an rewarded Qin Wu with a mansion as Qin Wu's residence in Han City. Then returned to the palace, the hundred officials returned to their positions, Han Wang'an summarized the battle of Hancheng, and after giving the meritorious ministers the reward of adding officials to the knighthood, he announced that he was going to marry his youngest daughter Han Pei'er to Qin Wu, and then Qin Wu was going to lead the military army to recover the news that more than a dozen towns in Korea fell into the hands of Wei.

Hearing this news, the ministers of the DPRK and China had mixed reactions. Because Qin Wu was still an enemy of South Korea before, he was the culprit who led to the current situation of South Korea, but South Korea's current strength is weak, and it is the stage of hugging the thighs, recruiting thugs, and improving strength, so although he has a different mind in his heart, on the surface, no one opposes Han Wangan's resolution.
