Chapter 452: Suspicion
The rain, like silver-gray sticky spider silk, weaves into a soft web that nets the whole autumn world. The sky was also dark and dreary, like the web-covered roofs of old dwellings. The gray-white clouds piled up in the sky were like white powder peeling off the roof. Under the shroud of this quaint and wide roof, everything is unusually dull, and a middle-aged man sits in this room with a lot of worry.
This person is none other than the 400,000 commanders and lieutenants of the Qin army, of course, at this moment, he is no longer the commander of the 400,000 Qin army, because the Qin army has suffered heavy casualties, and it has not even been able to make up 250,000 fresh troops, so as the commander and captain of the 400,000 army at this moment, he is worried in a room, worried that this kind of battle, which seemed to have the overall situation in his hands, is slowly out of his control.
Originally, the original idea was to take advantage of the departure of the Han army's army, and use Daqin's hard crossbow elite soldiers to capture Yangping Pass in one go, this battle loss should be within 50,000 in his imagination, after all, Qin crossbow alone can shoot at least half, or even more of the Han army, then the rest of the Han army, we use a ratio of 2:1, or even 3:1 to exchange, we can always capture Yangping Pass.
However, when he saw that on the first day, the 150,000 vanguard army of the Qin army under the command of Wang Li did not even completely attack the gate tower of Yangping Pass, he was shocked for the first time because of the strong will of the Han army, so he adjusted the assumption in his heart, in his departure that night, he estimated that he should be able to control the battle damage of the Qin army within 100,000, after all, the Han army insisted, but after all, the Qin army had so many strong bows and crossbows in hand, and there were soldiers who forgot to die. So they should be able to take Yangping Pass hard. After all, is there a comparison of strength between the two sides? If the ratio of soldiers and horses of 8:1 is filled with the firepower coverage brought by the Qin army's 150,000 crossbowmen, the real strength balance should go up at 10:1. Therefore, even though Wang Li's attack on the first day of the day encountered insistent obstacles, he was still confident that he would capture Yangping Pass within three days.
Therefore, he did not cure Wang Li's sin, and he gave Wang Li another chance.
But Wang Li did not take Yangping Pass, but also lost nearly half of the 150,000 army, almost lost all of his combat ability, and he was wounded everywhere. But it doesn't seem to be the case~!
Today, it is already the sixth day, even Meng Qi's 150,000 army has been attacking for two days, and their losses are also more than 30,000, and the Han army, the same loss should be not small, but why hasn't Yangping Pass been captured yet?
Even if all the people in Yangping Pass have joined the army, it will not be able to stop the continuous attack of the 300,000 Qin army~!
Besides. After all, Yangping Pass was occupied by the Qin army for 600 years, and if the Han army wanted to ascend to the top and call on the people to defend the city, then there would be very few responders.
Going deeper, even if the Han army summoned the people in the pass to participate in the defense of the city. But the people are the people after all, they are not strictly trained sergeants, in the process of defending the city. Half of the ability of a sergeant of the same physical fitness they can exert is going to burn high incense, not to mention that they can sometimes be unhelpful.
"Fifty thousand. 100,000 people, even if there are 150,000 people to help it defend the city. It's impossible to hold out for six days, do they have reinforcements? ”
Carefully browsing through every piece of information in the past few days, he needs to take a good look and see some of the problems contained in it.
Let's not talk about where most of the reinforcements of the Han army have arrived at this moment, let's just say that in today's Yangping Pass, the number and strength are not comparable to their own intelligence~!
……
"The Han army began to recruit people as warriors in the gate of the guard's mansion early this morning, and there were many responders."
The lieutenant who read the information he had just finished reading in his hand thought carefully about the recruitment of people by the Han army in the Guan.
"The responder is very heavy~, the responder is very heavy~, it shouldn't be~! After all, it is my people of Daqin, and we don't have any talk about slaughtering the pass, besides, not only did we not say it, but the Han army didn't promote this statement, but why did we recruit people as pawns, and they would immediately respond very much~! ”
Thinking of this unreasonable situation, the lieutenant knocked on his head, why this happened, there were some doubts in his head, but why, he didn't have a specific idea.
"Alas, it's really incomprehensible, there is definitely a problem in this Yangping Pass, but where is the problem?"
The lieutenant, who couldn't think of anything, continued to pick up another piece of information on the table that he had screened out, and thought about it carefully.
"But this information is reported to me, although the Yangping Pass is occupied by the Han army at the moment, and the people have no objections, but after all, they still think about my Daqin~!"
Although these two pieces of information seem to be unrelated, but if you think about it carefully, he is diametrically opposed to the content of the information, one is saying that the people in the pass enthusiastically responded to the recruitment of the Han army and filled the army to fight; The other is that the people in the Guannai now think of Daqin and have the idea of returning, if there is this idea, then they will definitely be indifferent to the recruitment of the Han army, why is there another piece of information that says that the responder is very heavy~!
"Alas~!"
The lieutenant, who hadn't slept well for a few days, sighed deeply.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that everything in this secret report had been strictly censored and there were no problems, he would have even wondered if the Qin army's sentinels had defected.
"Then the problem must be in it~!"
As if he had sensed something, the squinting lieutenant thought about the difference between the two pieces of information and the impact on the current battle situation.
"The spies didn't make any mistakes, that's for sure, then the information is accurate~!"
First of all, this lieutenant was determined, thinking about the battle situation in Yangpingguan that seemed to be falling all the time but still insisted there, the lieutenant who seemed to have an idea, rubbed his beard, and thought silently.
"The strength is too strong, yes, the strength of Yangping Pass is too strong, and those people are stronger than the ability of ordinary civilians~!"
Thinking of the Yangping Pass where the Qin army was now kowtowed, the lieutenant suddenly thought in shock, and the lieutenant who had this idea immediately had an even more terrifying idea, which frightened him so much that he pulled off his beard in surprise. (To be continued......)
