Chapter 585: The Qin Army Comes to Help
"This Qin army will not retreat, and it will not attack, what do you want to do? Is it just to disgust us? Standing at the head of Luoyi City, Storm Luan looked at the Qin army camp that was faintly visible in the distance, and said very strangely.
It is not accurate to say that the Qin army did not attack, but the Qin army's attack did not have any effect, and every time it was sent auxiliaries, it was repelled by the Sanjin without even touching the city wall.
"Wang Yi is a famous general of the Qin State, and he has to give instructions in vain, he will not do useless work, let alone be angry for a while." Mang Mao shook his head.
Qin Wangji is not a fool, if Wang Ji is a reckless person, he will never be reused by Qin Wangji.
"Does he still want to take the royal city with this defeat?" Storm Luan propped up the female wall with both hands, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully.
Luoyi is a majestic city in the world, the city wall is tall, the moat is wide and deep, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is solid.
On the other hand, as a defeated army, the morale of the Qin army was seriously frustrated, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to use such an army to take Luoyi.
"Wang Yi is training soldiers." Le Cheng said calmly, "Although he sent troops to attack the city every day, the legions he sent out were different every time, and under the control of Wang Di, although these legions did not pose a threat to us, and they did not even touch the city walls, they did not suffer too much loss. ”
Lecheng tried to keep these legions several times without success, and Wang Di's ability to control the big legions was still above him, unless he summoned all the elites to break them.
But in this way, it will lead to a decisive battle between the two armies.
When he came, Le Yi asked him to focus on preserving his strength, even if he gave up the Western Zhou Kingdom, he couldn't throw all the Zhao army in Sanchuan.
Lecheng had no choice but to give up this plan.
But he was right, Wang Di was indeed training.
In addition to the most elite Guanzhong army, there were 80,000 auxiliary troops and prisoner troops recruited from all over the country.
Of course, there are only about 50,000 left.
Originally, these auxiliaries and prisoner armies were all talented, but after each war, the Qin State would disband these legions in situ and send them home to farm.
After a long time, the original talent is gone.
Wait until the next time there is a war, and then reassemble these soldiers and train the talents they need.
Although this is troublesome, and it will make the legions that could have become elite or even super elite lose hope, but the Qin State has no choice.
No country can afford to raise hundreds of thousands of troops, not even Qin.
Before the reinforcements of the Three Jin Dynasty arrived, in order to improve the strength of the auxiliary army and the prisoner army as soon as possible, Wang Di spent less than a month training the shared talent.
This talent can directly share most of the strength of the friendly army, and obtain a great increase in strength in a short period of time, especially in the face of the Western Zhou Kingdom, which has just recruited strong men who have not even been able to unify their talents, can create a crushing advantage.
Soon, the royal city was crumbling under the attack of Wang Di.
Until the reinforcements of the Sanjin army arrived......
The Qin army suffered an unprecedented blow!
The biggest advantage of sharing this talent is that you can gain a lot of power in a short period of time, and this power has no side effects.
And the biggest drawback is that no matter how strong this force is, it is not yours.
In the face of weak chickens, this shortcoming is not obvious.
Once you meet a real elite, this shortcoming can instantly become a weakness.
Even the talent of pure defense is a little better than sharing, and at least it will take some more time for the enemy to kill it.
After the defeat, Wang Ji realized the problem and began to work hard again to revise the talent for the Qin army, while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
In order to shorten the time, Wang Yi could only choose to attack the royal city, relying on the tempering on the battlefield to improve the physical fitness and will of the soldiers.
Wang Yi was still very confident in his command ability, and under his superb control, the losses of the Qin army were not large, and after being treated by the medical team, they were almost negligible.
The military medical system of the Qin State copied the Zhao State was only a half-finished product, and it was completely impossible to equip each army with a fixed number of doctors like the Zhao State, but it was still possible to equip the army on the front line with a certain number of doctors.
These doctors don't even need to be very specialized, as long as they can sterilize, apply medicine, and bandage, and even then, they can reduce the casualty rate of the army to 30% of what it used to be.
And in addition to the fact that alcohol is very expensive, the others are very cheap, and a slightly better silk horse can be exchanged for half a car of Sanqi from Nanban.
"No wonder...... General Lecheng didn't let us fight before, but instead sent the Western Zhou army to meet the battle, could it be that General Lecheng was helping the Western Zhou State train troops? Mang Mao suddenly realized.
"Not bad." Lecheng nodded.
If you don't help the Western Zhou Kingdom train its troops, will you let them go on top as soon as there is a war, and let the Western Zhou Kingdom enjoy its success?
Lao Tzu is a reinforcement, not an unjust seed.
Anyway, the territory and population of the Western Zhou State, no matter how strong it is, will not pose a threat to the Zhao State, but can better disgust the Qin State.
Why not?
And this is a naked conspiracy, even if the Western Zhou Kingdom knows his plan, it is impossible to refuse.
No country would refuse a strong army.
In fact, after the Duke of Western Zhou learned that Lecheng helped him train his troops, not only did he not refuse, but he was very happy to reward Lecheng with a fief.
It was this fief that was occupied by the Qin State, and it could only be obtained after repelling the Qin army, which made Le Cheng a little unhappy.
The abacus of the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty played very loudly, if Lecheng could repel the Qin State, the Western Zhou State would take advantage of the situation to recover all the lost territory, and it would not be a loss to reward Lecheng with a city.
If Lecheng failed to repel the Qin State, the Western Zhou State would have paid nothing, and it would also not have lost.
But then again, even if the Duke of Western Zhou wanted to reward him, there was nothing else.
The money has been hollowed out, and the money that was rewarded to the soldiers before was still borrowed, but now it has not been repaid, and the creditors have gone to the palace to force debts.
Reward the official position, Le Cheng can't look down on it, and it will lead to bad relations with Zhao Guo.
Give me the land, and there is only one royal city left.
The current Western Zhou Gong can be said to be innocent and has nothing.
You can't give Jiuding a reward to Lecheng.
"General, the Qin State has come to reinforce the army." At this time, a figure quickly rushed from a distance, Jia Yan turned over and dismounted, and hurried up to the city wall.
After being demoted to a soldier, Jia Yan was arranged by Lecheng to serve as a scout.
Scouting is the most dangerous and easiest position in the military.
However, this danger is not a threat to Jia Yan, and now he has been promoted to the rank of 100 generals of the scout squad by virtue of his military merits.
Although the two had some conflicts before, they were in the same Zhao State and in the same legion, and they couldn't go on like this forever if they didn't look up and looked down.
Moreover, the contradiction between the two comes from Qin Jun, and it is not irreconcilable.
With Jia Yan's strength, sooner or later he will climb up, and it is impossible for Le Cheng to offend the future commander of Zhao State for the sake of the dead Qin army.
Coupled with the fact that neither of them is a stingy person, each taking a step back, and this matter will be over.
It's just that Jia Yan's official position is gone, and he can only climb up from the bottom little by little.
"How many people came?" Lecheng wasn't surprised.
If the Qin army does not retreat, it will inevitably continue to attack Luoyi.
With the current Qin army alone, even if you don't want to capture Luoyi for a year, the only way is to reinforce it.
"One hundred thousand." Jia Yan spat out a number.
Le Cheng's expression was dignified, and his right hand couldn't help but clench his sword, if it was 100,000 auxiliary troops, if it was 100,000 elites, this royal city would probably be more auspicious.
If it were other countries, the latter would be completely impossible, but it was really possible for the Qin State to take out 100,000 elites.
"What's the flag?" Mang Mao asked.
"Zhang."
Mang Mao breathed a sigh of relief, it was not good for nothing, although he really wanted to seek revenge on Bai Qi, but he still knew that he had a few catties and a few taels.
Don't talk about him, it's just that he and Le Cheng, Storm Luan, and Jia Yan are tied together, and when they meet Bai Qi, they are also sent.
"Zhang Qihao, who will it be?" Le Cheng asked with some doubts, the generals in the world who are qualified to command an army of one or two hundred thousand are all famous and surnamed, and in his impression, there is no one in the Qin State who can match the number.
It is impossible for King Qin to send someone over casually.
"There are only two famous generals of the Zhang clan of the Qin State who are qualified to command the army, Zhang Ruo and Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang is attacking the State of Chu, so it should be Zhang Ruo who leads the troops. This person once followed Sima Cuo to pacify Bashu, and was appointed by Qin as the county guard of Shu County, and later led troops to attack Chu State and capture Wu County and Qianzhong County. He is low-key, so his reputation is not obvious, but his strength is definitely not under Wang Yi. Mang Mao said solemnly.
Although Zhang Ruo took advantage of Bai Qi when he attacked Chu State, the main force of Chu State had basically been slaughtered by Bai Qi at that time, and the remaining shrimp soldiers and crabs would be vulnerable.
But if Zhang can successfully capture Wujun and Qianzhong County, his strength will never be underestimated.
"What are the characteristics of this person's combat? Are there any weaknesses? Lecheng asked.
"I don't know." Mang Mao shook his head, "Zhang Ruo has never made a move in the Central Plains for so many years, and we know almost nothing about it, which is most likely the reason why the Qin State sent him." ”
"Shall we send troops to test it at night?" Storm Luan suggested.
"Forget it, whether it's Zhang Ruo or Wang Di, there will be no loopholes, if there is a loop, it's also a trap." Mang Mao shook his head.
When the Han army's combat power attacked at night, it could only be taken by the Zhao army or the Wei army, and the Zhao army was the leader of the alliance, and eighty percent of the task of this pit father would fall on the head of the Wei army.
If it succeeds, it's fine, but if the night attack doesn't succeed, it's a question of whether you can come back alive.
If it's for the Wei State, it's okay to take a risk, but forget it for the Western Zhou State.
He didn't have the idea of being loyal to the Western Zhou Kingdom.
If he didn't know that Storm Luan was upright, what did he say, and if he was replaced by his father Storm Kite, Mang Mao would definitely think that the other party was cheating on himself.
"What then?" Storm Luan asked.
"What to do? Defend the city. Mang Mao patted the city wall and looked at Storm Luan like an idiot: If you don't defend such a tall and majestic city, you have to go out and fight with the Qin army, is there something wrong with your brain?
Or did the last victory make you think you could really win against the Qin army?
"Jia Yan, you go and inform the Duke of Western Zhou that the reinforcements of the Qin State are coming, and ask him to issue an edict to recruit all the adult men in the city." Le Cheng said to Jia Yan.
"No." Jia Yan hugged his fists and turned around and walked towards the city.
