Chapter 1423: Han Banner World (One Hundred and Thirteen) Helpless
In Danfeng County, there is a deathly depression. The battle against Wuguan has lasted for nearly five days. The largest battle that broke out yesterday made all the Chu army generals understand the fact that Wuguan is in their current situation. Under certain conditions, it is simply impossible to conquer. Since the retreat from Sanchuan County, their various losses have totaled more than 50,000 people. Especially in yesterday's battle, more than 10,000 people from Wang Shubo's troops were killed and injured. Crippled.
Firepower, if someone is strong, combat power, if someone is strong, location is good, someone is strong, harmony, if someone is strong, it is the right time, even if they are on the other side's side, how can we fight this battle?
"How is General Wang's injury? Is it okay?" In a depressed voice, Qu Wan asked Wang Shubo's lieutenant in a low voice. In yesterday's battle, Wang Shubo almost died on the battlefield. If his soldiers hadn't fought to the death to " Pig" "Pig" "Island" novel www.zhuzud.om If he snatches it back, he will definitely be the first senior general under Qu Wan to die in battle.
"Now the injury has stabilized. The doctor said that General Wang's injury will only take half a year to recover." The deputy general replied dejectedly. Yesterday, when he occupied it, he beat Wang Shubo's men to pieces. Heart Qi. Everything they planned before the war was carried out according to their predictions, but when the other party committed troops to engage in bloody hand-to-hand combat with their own troops, they discovered that the other party could easily defeat them without relying on fierce firepower.
You must know that in yesterday's hand-to-hand battle, the troops invested by both sides were close to three to one, but in the final result, the damage ratio was one to three. Wang Shubo's troops, who died in the battle and injured more than 10,000 people, plus the battle losses in the previous few days, all More than half of the army has lost its combat effectiveness, and it is no longer possible to organize large-scale battles.
"General, otherwise, I'll try again!" Bai Xizhong stood up. In comparison, his troops. It's still basically intact and the damage isn't huge. Unlike Huang Zhong, who lost almost half of his troops to two cavalry divisions of the Han army, Wang Shubo now also lost half of his troops.
"What effect can it have? Repeat Wang Shubo's battle process? I'm afraid your losses will be greater. It's not that your unit's combat effectiveness is worse than Wang Shubo's, but that we have exhausted all possible methods. We have exhausted all the tricks we can think of. They have all been used. After these days of fighting, the Han army has completely figured out our details. Yang Dasha's First Army of the Young Guards ranks first in the entire army of the Han army. This can be seen from this. The strength of the entire army exceeds 20,000. Even though there have been losses these days, their strength still exists. The Wuguan they guard has become an insurmountable chasm for us. Even if we fight with all our strength, we will fight it. How many people are left in the army? What role can they play even if they return to the country and watch the Han people attack the city? "
"What should we do? Stop at Danfeng. We can't advance, we can't retreat. We can't just sit there and wait for death, right?" Huang Zhong covered his head and said in pain.
"General. There is also the problem of our food and grass. The army's food and grass can only last for ten days at most. What will the whole army do then?" Bai Xizhong was also worried.
Qu Wan was silent for a moment, and his voice gradually became colder: "Everyone, if we can't break Wuguan now, we won't be able to return to Chu State, and we won't be able to deal with the invasion of the Han people. There is nothing we can do about all this, so our next priority is , that is, to survive, we must plan for ourselves. We are not afraid of running out of firewood if we keep the green hills. As long as we still exist, we cannot say that we have no chance. "
"How can we survive?" Huang Zhong asked puzzledly.
"Send someone to tell the people of Qin that we need food and medicine," Qu Wan said.
"How will the Qin people give it to us?" Huang Zhong was surprised, "Now that we are at a disadvantage, they may be thinking of adding insult to injury and driving the army and the Han army to attack us?"
"Attacking us?" Qu Wan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "General Huang, when we retreated from Sanchuan County earlier, 70,000 to 80,000 Qin troops protected us almost all the way to here. What do you think it was for?"
"Of course 3617/'> hopes that we will fight to the death with the Han army." Huang Zhong said.
"Yes, they want us to fight the Han army to the death, but now, the Han army is guarding Wuguan and blocking us here. We have no way forward and no chance to attack the Han army that invaded Chu. Threat, and with the strength of Wuguan Yang Dasha's army, plus two cavalry divisions, is it enough to launch a decisive battle against us? "
Bai Xizhong was surprised: "General, do you want to..."
Qu Wan said coldly: "The Qin army wants to watch us fight to the death with the Han army, so why don't the Han army now hope that we will go against the Qin army and tell the Qin people that if they don't give me food and medicine? I have no choice, but I have to be rude to them. If I take the Buwu Pass, can't I deal with them? If they don't give it to me, I will take it myself. The Han people will just watch the show with a smile. The cavalry division may make the situation more chaotic. Help us today and help them tomorrow to completely turn the southern part of Qin into a pot of porridge. "
After Qu Wan finished speaking, all the generals in the room were stunned. For a moment, it was really difficult to digest Qu Wan's arguments.
"Now the two hungry wolves are counting on me to consume each other's strength! The Han people may not be afraid, but the Qin people are definitely afraid. Is that what they want to completely destroy the south? What will the hungry army do? I I think the people of Qin know very well." Qu Wan exhaled, "Xizhong, make a booklet, tell the people of Qin what we want, and ask them to deliver it to us in time. If my soldiers are hungry, it will be wrong. No one is good."
"I understand, General!" Bai Xizhong whispered, feeling extremely depressed.
"Next, we can only wait. We will wait and see the situation and wait for changes. Of course, the threat to Wuguan cannot be weakened. If there is a chance, we still have to give it a try. But we cannot fight a battle like yesterday. get up."
In Sanchuan County, Lu Zhihui saw the list of supplies that Chu Jun had grandly delivered. He was furious and shouted: "Qu Wan is so frustrated that he is crazy. He still wants to ask us for supplies. What a bunch of useless things." , 200,000 people went to attack Wuguan and were beaten to a pulp by the Han people. He might as well just die."
Meng Yong, on the other hand, had a stern face, as if there was some great secret hidden in the list of supplies, and read it over and over again from beginning to end. Now the Xuanyi Guards and the Southern Frontier Army are under unified command, and since Meng Yong has the highest status, he will naturally assume the position of commander.
"Qu Wan is confident, Wang Ming, Gou Yi, what do you two think?" He looked at the other two generals.
Wang Ming was silent. Now the generals of the southern frontier army basically remained silent on military discussions, and they only followed the orders step by step.
Gou Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid we have to agree to Qu Wan's request."
"Why?" Lu Zhihui said angrily.
"Why? Just because Qu Wan still has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. If he dares to send this list, it means that he has made up his mind. If we don't give it to him, he will take it away. We have also calculated it beforehand. , the food and grass in Qu Wan's hands could probably support his entire army for ten to twenty days. Originally we thought that with this time, Qu Wan would be able to capture Wuguan, but obviously, he ate a turtle in front of Wuguan, The losses are heavy, Wuguan cannot be taken, he cannot return to Chu, and there is not enough food and grass. Who else can he fight if he doesn't come to us? "
"Why should we give it to him? The Chu army took advantage of the situation and wreaked havoc in the southern part of our Daqin for several months, making the people's livelihood miserable. Thousands of miles of chaos, and now we need to support him? Menghou, since the Chu army is useless, why not We unite with the Han army and destroy him directly. How can we be so angry? I think the Han people will be happy to unite with us to destroy him." Lu Zhihui said.
"I'm afraid the Han people are not happy at all!" The silent Wang Ming raised his head, "If we don't give up all the food and grass, he will come to snatch it, and we can't just sit back and watch them wreak havoc on the people in the south. There will definitely be a conflict between the two sides, and the Han army will definitely Sitting on Wuguan and watching the show. They only need to hold Wuguan firmly and lock Qu Wan in the southern part of the Qin Dynasty. Maybe when Qu Wan runs out of food, they will also support the Chu people with some food. They continue to have the strength to compete with us.”
"General Wang makes sense. The Han people want to destroy this Chu army, but if we do it, they will naturally be the happiest. Of course, if the Chu people destroy us, they will definitely accept it happily. So this food and grass , medicines, we have to give them, not only do they have to give them, but they have to give them happily." Gou Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, no one thought that this matter would end like this.
"What the hell is this?" Lu Zhihui was extremely angry.
"Food and medicine must be provided, but we can't feed the people of Chu. General Gou, you have to go out and tell Qu Wan that as long as he continues to attack, we will provide food, medicine, and even Ordnance supplies. If we take things but don’t do anything, we won’t be taken advantage of in vain.”
Gou Yi nodded, but understood in his heart that these words were just to make everyone look better. Qu Wan could not win the Wuguan, but the force in his hand was enough to pose a threat to them. Even if it doesn't work, Qu Wan can rely on his remaining hundreds of thousands of troops to make the southern part of Qin uncontrollable.
"Let's leave it like this for now. General Gou Yi will be in charge. Next, we have to discuss the new tactical system displayed by the Han army in defending Wuguan at this time." Meng Yong said: "Everyone has seen the detailed information. If Daqin encounters such a war, how should we respond? You know, the weapons in our hands are similar to those of the Chu army, and the Han army, relying on the power of artillery, is enough to pose a fatal threat to us. What the Chu army encountered today , we will definitely meet him in the future." Meng Yong raised his head and looked at the generals in the hall. "Be prepared for a rainy day. We must have a charter in advance. Otherwise, this battle will be lost before it is fought. Without artillery, how could Wuguan withstand the attack of Qu Wan's 200,000 troops." (To be continued. )
