Chapter 173: The Han Army Committed a Taboo
The Han army retreated to the city of Shanjun, the defeat has become a reality, and now the strength of the soldiers in the city of Shanjun is not capable of going to the tide, so the original end of the defeat was written in the flying letter, and the carrier pigeon flew to the Han Dynasty with the flying letter.
With the retreat of the Han army into the city of Shanjun, Qishan City was considered to be stable for a while, and the stability here refers to the absence of foreign enemies. There's no need to prepare for the first level.
After a battle in Qishan City, the army and the people were victorious, but the dead and wounded soldiers were also quite a few according to the proportion of domestic personnel, there were as many as one or two hundred dead, and countless wounded, and for a time there was no joy of victory in the city, only crying and anger.
The Qishan court meeting began, Princess An Ran is more than ten years old, curiosity makes her want to see, listen to what is going on in the court meeting of the country, Lan Qier heard Princess An Ran's request, of course she was very happy, so she reached an agreement with Princess An Ran, that is, Princess An Ran is only allowed to listen to it in the court, watch it, and is not allowed to express her opinions, there is no right to speak, Princess An Ran got a table and chair in the court, as Lan Qier has just entered the court, and has the right to listen.
Lan Qier first made a holy decree above the court, that is, to carry out a collective state funeral for the soldiers who died for the country, and the family members will be given special treatment, so that their future lives can be guaranteed as necessary, and then it is natural to discuss the matter of the Han army in the future, this battle has caused a large number of casualties in the country, this time the Han army is not the real army of the Han Dynasty, if the real army of the Han Dynasty arrives, then how can it be good, according to the current situation, it will make the casualties of the people greater, and even the death of the country.
The ministers in the court began to talk about the whole again, and the ministers listened to the generals' analysis and explanation of the battle, and slowly understood how the enemy army attacked, and how the national army fortified and counterattacked.
Lan Qi'er saw it above the court, the generals in the court and the understanding of the ministers are different, it is impossible to combine with reality, it seems that if you want to concentrate everyone's thoughts and opinions, you can't be in the court, you can't go to the pass before and after the spot to check, so she immediately stood up and said: Okay, all the Aiqing, now the address of the court meeting seems to be wrong, and the location of the court meeting this time should be moved to the front and back of the pass gate.
The ministers followed Lan Qi'er out of the palace hall and went to the place where the war took place, before and after the pass gate.
Lan Qi'er and all the ministers have now arrived at the place where the battle took place, and General Lan is naturally going to give a lecture, and the war is restored, and the others are going to use their ears and brains.
As General Lan and all the ministers walked back and forth, talking, listening, and the field was the field, some of the opinions of the ministers came out.
The first insight is to build a moat in the position that is most conducive to the archers of the Han army, one is to make the Han archers lose a favorable position for shooting, and the other is to dig the moat seven or eight meters wide and three meters deep, so that it can effectively stop the rhythm and speed of the Han army's attack, and at the same time, the Han army wants to build a bridge on the moat, which completely exposes the body, and the archers of the country can play the greatest role.
The second insight is the ambush and archers on the mountainside, the ambush is to defend the enemy from climbing the side mountain, from the side into Qishan City, and then the ambush is responsible for rolling the wood and thunder stone, assisting the archers to effectively kill and injure the enemy soldiers, the rolling wood and thunder stone in the front battle is ordinary, the ministers put their opinions on the rolling wood, and the scholars suggested that the hump oil on the rolling wood to form a more powerful fire rolling wood, so that the momentum and lethality will be stronger.
The third insight is that there are a large number of wasp nests in the primitive mountain forest, the wasp is a natural flying soldier, there is no more in Qishan City, because the toxin of the wasp tail needle is terrible, as early as when General Lan and others entered Qishan, it was cleared, and the scope of Qishan City was cleared, but there are in the deep forest, and the number is not small, the soldiers on both sides of the mountainside of the pass can ask for some wasp nests in the mountains and forests in advance, and when the Han army storms the Qishan Pass, the wasp nest is thrown from the mountainside, the wasp nest will be opened, and the wasps will flock and fly. Attacking the approaching Han army, this is a rare miracle power!
Another project is larger, but it is also the most important defense system, that is, in the Qishan Pass gate, in the construction of an attached city, so that it is connected with the pass gate, all around the seamless city wall, the attached city wall and the main pass gate straight line distance can be within seventy or eighty meters, the city gate is not recommended to always open the door, it is recommended to use the gate, the main gate is also built at the same time, in order to facilitate the closure at any time, the effect is that when the enemy army attacks the pass gate, the main pass gate can be opened at any time, put in a part of the enemy, once the enemy enters the main pass gate, immediately close the gate of the main city, so that a part of the enemy army enters the closed annex city and the main city, completely exposed to the shooting range of the archers and crossbowmen around it, and solves the urgency of the main city pass.
The insight of transforming and improving the city defense has come out, and then the drawings came out on the spot, the time is tight, the task is heavy, Lan Qier immediately made the holy decree emperor list, the main project is the moat and the attached city wall, the moat is better, there is a natural river next to the pass itself, there is only excavation, the suspension bridge of the moat is free for a while, the manpower and materials used in the attached city are huge, the two projects are related to the safety of all the people in Qishan, for a time the whole people act, mountain stones, wooden piles are rapidly assembled, The project attached to the moat naturally has a preliminary form in one day with the passage of time, and the quality is unquestionable, but it is also necessary to go out to verify the quality and function.
Dragon Soul Ao Jia saw the concerted efforts of all the people of the ancient country of Loulan in Lan Qi'er's body, and his heart was moved and shocked!
The flying pigeons in Shanjun City flew over the mountains and rivers and sent the flying letter to the Han Dynasty.
General Huo Guanghuo and all the Han courtiers knew the battle situation of the two generals for a while, they were defeated, and they were unable to fight back, and the result was beyond the expectations of all the ministers.
The ministers above the court also knew the casualties of the Han army, and the generals naturally did not allow the Han army to retreat without a fight, and they all began to ask for war one by one, of course, they still had a sense of contempt for the Loulan army in their hearts, and they thought that the two generals had a wrong command and both of them were too incompetent, which led to the defeat of the Han army in the first battle and a large number of casualties.
The ministers actually understood the content of Feixin, the current Qishan City is not the ancient city of Loulan, it is a natural danger, it must not be as easy to attack as imagined, but looking at the crazy attitude of the generals, they also know that the person in charge of the court is the head of the generals, and the Han army has suffered casualties to such an extent. It is impossible not to send troops to fight again, so I can only remain silent.
General Huo spoke at this time, and asked about the generals who were willing to fight the Loulan people in World War II and set foot in Qishan City?
There are more than a dozen generals and generals in the Han Dynasty, and more than a dozen generals naturally know that this time as long as they ask for battle, the number of soldiers does not need to be said, and General Huo will definitely meet the requirements of the expedition, so they knelt down in the court and said: The generals are willing to lead troops to fight in Qishan City for the country, and the generals are willing to fight, and the generals are willing to fight!
General Huo Da saw that all the generals in the court knelt down to ask for battle, so he said: Okay, good, the Han Dynasty will have a long period of peace and stability with the support of the generals, then General Qin will be the generalissimo of the expedition, the soldiers can arrange the grain and grass by themselves, and the various ministries of the country will definitely cooperate with it, as for the time to send the troops, of course, the sooner the better, I don't know if the ministers have any suggestions and state affairs to discuss? If not, disperse!
The Han Dynasty's court meeting is over, and the historical events of the Han Dynasty sending a large army to conquer Qishan City have not been recorded in the historical records by the Han historians, because in the historical records of the Han Dynasty, the ancient country of Loulan has not moved to the country, and it has already been a county of the Han Dynasty, and the "good county city" is the historical evidence of the submission of the Loulan people.
Marshal Qin began to gather heavy troops after the court, the collection of grain and grass is not as fast as the collection of soldiers and horses, it is difficult to complete the number of people he wants to collect for a while, General Huo has made it clear in the court, the faster the expedition, the better, Generalissimo Qin ordered several generals in the court, the number of soldiers and horses under several generals is considerable, and there are as many as 10,000 people around the capital.
The hearts of several generals and generals are also arrogant, and they can't wait any longer, and they only think that there are only 20,000 people in Ququ Loulan, and there are only 3,000 or 4,000 soldiers.
Under the urging of the generals, Qin Dashuai really sent troops and went straight to the city of Shanjun.
The letter of the flying pigeon is much faster than the Han army, and the letter of the flying pigeon naturally arrived in the hands of Wang Guifei as early as possible, and for a time everyone in the city of Shanjun knew that the Han Dynasty had sent a large army to the city of Shanjun, and wanted to gather the soldiers led by the two generals of Xiaguan to run to Qishan City together, and then fight the Loulan people, and at the same time Wang Guifei got Huo Guang's order to send a large number of scouts to explore all the situations around Qishan City.
Marshal Qin set out in Chang'an City, led 10,000 horses, all the way to the northwest, where he passed, the history of the assassins continued to lead the army into the Han army, the men and horses are constantly growing, the army of 20,000 or 30,000 has been assembled when going out of the Han border, and the grain and grass materials have not been collected much, so they have to leave supervisors in various places to be responsible for the supervision and collection of grain and grass.
Marshal Qin and several generals did not expect that the lack of grain and grass eventually became a major factor in the defeat of the army, and it was impossible to collect grain and grass outside the Han border.
After a few days of running, the Han army left the Han border and entered the territory of Shanjun City.
General Lan Da has already sent a military scout, the Xiongnu country also has a military scout, of course, all the Han army's marching situation has reached Shanjun City, Qishan City, the Xiongnu State is single in the account, all parties for a time know the approximate soldiers and horses of the Han army, materials and grain and grass situation, several parties know that this time the Han Dynasty can move the army, as for the grain and grass first is not done, almost none, even if there is very little.
Everyone in the Qishan court knows, knows that the battle of life and death is coming again, and they can't avoid it, and they know that there will be a large number of casualties among the countrymen in this battle, and the grain and grass vehicles are almost not with the army, which can only explain one problem, that is, the Han army will definitely not fight a positional war, as long as it goes outside Qishan City, it will definitely stand firm, and then it will be attacked strongly, in order to break Qishan City in a short time and destroy the Loulan people.
