Chapter 292: Stalemate
"What's going on?"
Looking at the situation that there was still a steady stream of people squeezing up the city just now, but now it has become a continuous squeezing down, and Li Xiuxian, who was watching the battle, was stunned for a while.
"I don't know~!"
The deputy general next to him has never experienced this situation, and it is said that Qin Jun has always been afraid of anyone. Even if there is a god of war above the enemy army to wantonly kill the Qin soldiers, however, this city wall stretches for hundreds of meters, how can it collapse everywhere?
The last row of soldiers at the head of the city, as far as the eye can see now, have either been forced to stand on the battlements and hold on to the walls, or they have already been squeezed down alive on the battlements.
"Could it be that the Han army has a god of war again?"
Today's Li Xiuxian, after thinking about it, there is only such an explanation that can explain the reason why the Ruishi of Daqin retreated on all fronts. Although the Qin army is willing to sacrifice their lives and forget to die, not everyone has the idea of sending them to death, and it is still possible to retreat when encountering irreversible manpower~
To be honest, now Li Xiuxian is still a little tired when he sees the front-line soldiers being beaten back.
On the one hand, he died because of the attack that the Qin army had just had a smooth journey and was about to be able to achieve victory, and he felt a burst of frustration in his heart; And because the attack just now was too smooth, he was afraid that the Han army would have something powerful, and he was relieved to see that the Han army had to show his hole cards under the persecution of the Great Qin Ruishi.
"Mingjin, withdraw the troops~! That's the end of today's battle! ”
After waiting for a while, Li Xiuxian, who saw that the soldiers crowded at the back of the city still had no space to go, frowned tightly and said.
What does this immovable front illustrate, it shows that the Han army has been stepping on the corpses of the Qin army's sharp soldiers and thus oppressing the Qin army's battle line. Otherwise, if you keep fighting, how can there be no space for the soldiers behind to fill it? Has the Qin army really reached the realm of immortality in the war, anyway, he doesn't know under the command of others, and he can't do it under his command!
"Oh~!"
The adjutant general also guessed the above situation, which was different from Li Xiuxian's worries about the army. He just needs to perform his duties well, and he doesn't need to worry so much.
"Knock knock~"
A dull bell rang, which was the golden bell used by the Qin army when it gave the order to retreat. Maybe it's because this voice represents a failure, or maybe it's to distinguish the difference from a temporary retreat. This kind of golden bell ringing is particularly harsh.
"Withdraw, withdraw, quickly withdraw~!"
The Qin army soldiers above have long been unable to withstand the military formation formed by these generals of the Han army, and they have been killing all the way. Of course, Qin Jun, the whole fearless death. But they are also human beings, and they are also afraid. Who wants to die if they can survive? What's more, or die in a lost battle.
……
"General Yang, the enemy army has withdrawn, and we are going back to restore our lives!"
Seeing that after Li Xiuxian gave the order, the crossbow array packed up his belongings, and after retreating in an orderly manner under the cover of the foot soldiers, a second-rate leader in the force of this team of 1,000 people said to Yang Yanzhao with a fist.
"General Xie's help, go slowly~!"
Yang Yanzhao is not a person who does not know good and bad. Although the official position is low and he is not favored by His Majesty, but with the style of a gentleman, the mentality of 'rather offending a gentleman than offending a villain', he still politely said goodbye to this general who sent him to the north and south of the world with martial arts.
"Farewell~!"
After a capable farewell speech, the general led his soldiers and went down to the pass with his comrades who died in battle.
……
"Count the battle damage~!"
Looking at the west where the remnant sun was like blood, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but look up and think. Today, the first day of the battle has been so difficult, and if we continue to do this in the future, there will be no soldiers and horses to implement the strategy of stealing the camp. So. Shouldn't Lord Guo's plan be carried out in advance?
After a while, a small head who was ordered to go stood in front of Yang Yanzhao with his big flower face while touching his face, which I don't know if it was blood or sweat.
"Report to the General. Our army has killed more than 2,500 people and wounded more than 4,000 people~! ”
Although the tone of this little head when he reported the battle damage was still a stereotype in the army, he knew the sadness in his heart by looking at the sadness in his eyes, the only one who could see it clearly.
"Huh, I know, you go down~!"
Listen to the report of this little commander. Yang Yanzhao's face became even more ugly. You must know that there were more than 5,000 people in this city at the beginning, plus more than 2,000 people who came up later, there were only more than 7,000 horses!
This is only a rough estimate, but the amount is staggering. More than 7,000 people, except for some outstanding martial arts or good fate, were either killed or wounded, is Daqin really so powerful?
Siege warfare, generally the ratio of casualties between the defender and the attack and defense is at least 1:3, and today's Qin army has also roughly calculated, and the casualties are definitely not more than 7,000 people! That means that the two sides this time are 1:1 for the number of people.
You know, under his feet is the famous Xiongguan Yangping Pass, although it is not like the depressed fortress, but it is also a Xiongguan that is dozens of meters high. If such a good location is in your hands, you can only change the army of the Qin army 1:1, then this pass will definitely not be able to hold!
"Alas, Qin Jun, Qin Jun, worthy of Qin Jun!"
Looking at the Great Qin Ruishi who still had a dark figure left in the distance, Yang Yanzhao let out a sigh. These Han troops are already elite Han troops, and as a result, any Qin army can beat them like this. Is this still a siege war? What if it's an encounter on the plains? Is it the rhythm of being pushed all the way by the Qin army?
……
Of course, the information about the battle damage was also sent to Meng Li's hands, and at this moment, he was even more worried than Yang Yanzhao. If it comes down like this, not to mention that it will be dragged until Meng Hui leads the domestic army, even if it can hold on for a week, it will be a problem. Don't look too high at how high people's consciousness is, even if half of the elite people are knocked out, it is also the rhythm of the minute-by-minute collapse.
Therefore, Meng Li is very anxious at this moment! If you don't want to come up with a good way to take down the 100,000 Qin troops below, then Yangping Pass will not only fight in vain, but also provoke a king in the forest. Besides, even if the Qin army of 100,000 people is taken, then what can they do if they come again? Great Qin sits on the land of Sichuan and Shu, and its war resources are not comparable to those of the Han Dynasty in the cold and bitter cold land of the West! (To be continued.) )
