Chapter 199 Hangu Offense and Defense (3)
Daituo, Ni Liang, and Wang Liao are all famous generals who have been famous for a long time in the world. They have long been familiar with military affairs and are brave and good at fighting.
The three of them all know that Hangu Pass is the number one pass in the world, and there is a famous Qin general Wang Yan who leads 100,000 Qin soldiers to garrison.
Therefore, no matter how strong the coalition is, it is an extremely unrealistic idea to want to defeat Hangu Pass.
Therefore, the three of them formulated a tactic that had long been used by the Spring and Autumn Generals, but was extremely useful, and that was the wheel tactic.
Anyway, this time the coalition commander Sun Bian handed over a three-hundred-thousand-hundred-thousand-man coalition army under his command, and the force was sufficient to carry out this tactic.
The wheel tactic was formulated by Wang Liao, Ni Liang, and Dai Tuo. When it was implemented, each of them led a 50,000-strong coalition army to attack Hangu Pass in turn.
As a result, the Qin army above Hangu Pass was exhausted, and under the continuous attack like a tide, it constantly weakened the living strength of the Qin army and reduced the combat power of the Qin army.
After all this is done, it is very possible to capture Hangu Pass when the main force of the coalition forces launches a general offensive.
"General Ni Liang is weak, so I'll take General Ben later."
Taking Tuo to look at Ni Liang, who was still a little bit unrepentant, he said, everyone nodded.
Immediately after leaving the rear army position of the army, he directly led the 50,000-strong coalition army to launch the second round of offensive towards Hangu Pass.
"General Huangfu, it seems that the three generals are going to use wheel tactics!"
"But it's not bad. Although it has long been a trick that has been used badly, I am afraid that this is the only way to win the dangerous and dangerous Hangu Pass."
"The three generals are worthy of being famous generals from all over the world. It's just the initial battle that lowered the ratio of our army and Qin army's battle losses. It would have been great if the three generals had been appointed earlier."
Tian Wen's tone was full of admiration, and he brought three or more Tuo to fight with the Qin army, and the battle situation had begun to turn around.
Under the command of the scumbag in Montenegro, the Qin army suffered less than 2,000 casualties, but their own army was beheaded more than 20,000.
This is a battle loss ratio of more than 1 to 10. Is it the rhythm of preparing to scare people to death?
Fortunately, the bastard in Montenegro was dead, otherwise, when the coalition forces wanted to take Hangu Pass, I don't know when they would have to wait, maybe Qin army reinforcements would come.
...
"The whole army is on alert!"
Above Hangu Pass, Qin general Gan Mao looked at the coalition forces coming in like a tide again, and ordered with a solemn expression.
After a period of rest, the body of the Qin army who died in the battle above Hangu Pass has been carried down.
The troops have also been replenished, ready to respond to the offensive of the coalition forces again at any time.
In this way, the Qin army and the Allied Forces of the All Nations under the Hangu Pass launched round after round of offensive and defensive duels.
The shooting of the bow and the crossbow, the competition of the will and the will, the roaring and killing of the soldiers of the two armies resounded in all directions.
"retreat!"
...
"attack!"
...
"retreat!"
...
"Attack again!"
...
"attack!"
"attack!"
"attack……"
...
"Attack again!"
"Keep attacking!"
...
The two armies continued to have soldiers killed in battle, but due to the dangerous terrain of Hangu Pass, the Qin army lost fewer soldiers in battle.
After the Qin army defeated this wave of coalition forces, another wave of ready coalition forces rushed forward again.
As a result, although the Qin army was able to defend Hangu Pass, it was miserable and exhausted.
Sometimes some soldiers of the coalition army even attacked Hangu Pass, but they were beheaded by the so-called Qin soldiers above Hangu Pass.
The two armies were caught in such a tug-of-war between wills and flesh and blood.
The battlefield like a gluttonous beast is constantly devouring one fresh life after another!
From early morning to noon, for three full hours, the attack and defense centered on Hangu Pass was launched.
Both sides suffered heavy losses, the bright red blood soaked the ground, and there were nameless corpses one after another left on the ground.
From a distance, the entire area turned blood red, and the bodies of the dead soldiers of the two armies had even spread over several feet on the ground.
The battlefield is full of slanted swords and some broken flags. It looks so desolate and desolate!
The pieces of blood on the wall of Hangu Pass that can't tell the difference between the enemy and the enemy are also witnesses to the majesty of this world's first majestic pass.
"Another half-day of hard work!"
"Gan Mao, how many casualties did the enemy have? How many casualties did our army have?"
Watching the coalition army gradually retreating at noon, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Wang Yan's eyes did not relax at all, instead they were full of tension.
"Reporting to the general, as of the first battle of the combined forces to attack Qin and this morning's battle, the total casualties of our Qin army totaled more than 13,000, and the enemy's casualties were conservatively estimated to be more than 33,000."
Hearing Gan Mao's words, the solemn look in Wang Yan's eyes became more serious.
"In less than half a day of hard fighting, the casualties of our Qin army increased rapidly."
"A total of 13,000 casualties of Daqin men!"
"One day, in less than a day, with such terrifying casualties, how should I fight in the next battle?"
Wang Yan was not happy because the enemy's casualties were far higher than the Qin army, because Wang Yan knew that the death of more than 30,000 coalition troops under Hangu Pass was only a drop in the ocean.
With the casualties of more than 13,000 Daqin soldiers annihilating more than 30,000 coalition troops, at most, the coalition troops felt itchy.
But it must not make the coalition feel pain in the flesh, but it will make it shout and make a lot of money.
Because in the hearts of the generals and scholars of countless countries, the Qin army is the division of tigers and wolves.
Being able to fight tigers and wolves with flesh and blood, and be able to kill tigers and wolves successfully, is definitely a big profit.
"At this moment when the country is in danger, does this general really want to use the two trump cards in his hand?"
Wang Yan's thoughts fluctuated.
Because Wang Yan knew that as long as he used the two hole cards in his hand, it would definitely cause huge damage to the coalition forces.
In normal times, this would be enough to turn the tide of the battle, but in the current situation, even if you use both of your trump cards, you can only save one moment.
Without him, because there are too many enemies, too many.
Even if he killed 300,000 enemies by himself, a record that would be enough to destroy a country in normal times, it would only make the coalition feel sore, but it would not hurt the bones.
Moreover, Wang Yan knew in his heart that once the two trump cards in his hand were used up, then he could only rely on the Qin army to defend Hangu Pass with flesh and blood.
"Ugh!"
Thinking of the long-awaited reinforcements, even Wang Yan couldn't help sighing.
"But what if there are no reinforcements?"
"This general and the generals at Hanguguan are not for dry meals, although they cannot guarantee that they will reject the enemy from outside the country!"
"But this general's use of 100,000 Qin soldiers at Hangu Pass is enough to make millions of coalition troops pay a painful price, and let all countries in the world firmly remember the power of Qin people!"
A sharp light flashed in Wang Yan's eyes, and he said firmly in his heart.
