Chapter 1466 : The battle in the heavy snow in the wo
Standing on a high ground, Wang Changyong stared at Longshou County not far away. His eyes were full of irritation. He had attacked Longshou for almost ten days, but he had made no progress. He knew what General Lu Chaolu expected of him. He had to attack Han to make it softer, so that Han was unable to look around for a long time, mainly on his way. Although Xu Yahua’s subordinate in the middle road has more soldiers and horses at Hangu Pass, he is facing the three reorganized armies of the First Military Region of the Han Army and a complete defensive network. It is difficult to break through, and it is difficult for him to break through that road. , Being too close to Chu State, even if there is a breakthrough, I am afraid it will immediately attract the attack of the Han army, and it is difficult to cause too much damage to the Han State. Only on my own path can we achieve this. Dayan County, Jishi County, and Liaoxi County are the fundamental places of Han. If these places are broken, Han will inevitably be broken. In a few years or even decades, it will be impossible to ease the breath.
The current state of Qin does not have the strength to occupy these lands=pig=pig=island=fiction. All they think is that they want to break up the Han nation, and it is enough to destroy it completely. Up.
Qin Wulie and Wang Shang had already seen this when he was still alive, but that battle ended in Qin’s defeat. Li Xin and Wang Xiao died in the battle, and hundreds of thousands of troops disappeared. This is Qin’s second attempt. The difference from the previous one is that this time, the main force of the big man is thousands of miles away, even if they grow wings, they can’t fly. What’s more, in Yingshui, At Hangu Pass, they also need more soldiers, enough to make them messy.
If he succeeds this time, Wang Changyong will surpass the Li Xin and Wang Xiao of the year, and he will become another general of the Qin State, worthy of his name in history.
But now, he was blocked here. It’s not just the dragon head, Bei Yu. The two groups of Yaoqu have also made no progress. There are not many soldiers and horses in the Third Military Region of the Han Dynasty. Looking at the flags played by the other side, they are actually the militia reserves of Dayan County and Jishi County. The Qin people are no strangers to this militia reserve. In the last Qin-Han war, the Xiongnu cavalry led by Gu Li, who suffered a great loss to the Qin people, was the militia reserve of the Han country.
The militia reserve of the Han State is similar to the Qin State’s military. The difference is that these reserve troops of the Han State are trained during the slack season. During the training period, the Han government paid salaries, which was impossible in the Qin State. This made the two sides have a huge difference in the combat effectiveness of the reserve forces.
The Han people allowed the people to hold weapons, and a large number of weapons eliminated in the army were sold to the people at very low prices. There were weapons in every household of the Han people, and even bows and crossbows could not be restrained. This was once believed by the Qin people to cause great chaos in China. But to their disappointment, Han Guo was calm and quiet, nothing happened, and the people were much better than those of Qin Chu. On the contrary, it is Qin Chu. In the past few years, no matter how strict the control is, riots have occurred from time to time, especially in Qin State. The rioters have become the climate.
But no matter how strong the reserve is, he is also a reserve! What makes Wang Changyong extremely puzzled is why the reserve can withstand his own attacks in such a head-to-head offensive and defensive battle.
Snow is heavy. The wind is strong, which increases the difficulty of the attack, but God is fair to both parties. The Qin army is uncomfortable, and the other party is absolutely uncomfortable. Moreover, Wang Changyong admits that the tolerance of the elite Qin army is by no means the ability of the opposing reserves. By comparison, in such a cold battle, what surprised him was that it was his subordinates who couldn’t stand it first. In recent days, he had to weaken his offensive in order to send more people out to find firewood. It was not an easy task to find something to burn on the prairie in heavy snow.
“If we don’t take the dragon head and other places, we will freeze to death on the prairie.” General Wang Zhijun looked sad. “General Wang, the enemy has logistics supplies behind, and our logistics supplies are too far away to keep up. Our consumption. We can only make quick decisions!”
“The opponent’s combat power is beyond our expectations. I doubt that they are not a reserve at all, but a regular army. Moreover, I always have a familiar feeling about their tactics, which is different from that of the Han army! “Another general, Yue Peng, looked at Wang Changyong with a puzzled look: “The trainers of the Han Army Reserve are all from active or retired officers of the Han Army. Their fighting methods should be in the same line as the main force of the Han Army. But what about the enemies in front of us? It’s not like the Han army, but like our Qin army’s tactics?”
“I am not worried about this, but He Lanxiong of the Third Military Region. Where did Zhao Xilie’s troops go. If we are all in front of the reserve of the Han army, then where did the main force of the Third Military Region go, General Wang, in the third military region. , He Lanxiong has a cavalry of 5,000 people. When Zhao Xilie came, he also brought a personal soldier of more than 10,000 people. Where did this army go? I am worried that they will copy our back path, if they break us We’re in big trouble for the supply line of China,” Wang Zhijun reminded Wang Changyong.
“Don’t worry about this. I am also a veteran soldier. How can I not pay attention to this? Gou Xin and his troops are doing this. Under such weather, I want to make a detour around us. Come to attack our supply line, how is it possible that they can come around without ten and a half months? Gou Xin is carrying five thousand cavalry, waiting for him to come around with time and effort, is our opponent waiting to work? I estimate He Lanxiong’s main force He is still hiding in the rear. He wants to use these reserves to grind with us and drag us. When our logistics is poor and physically weak, the main force will come out and hit us by surprise!” Wang Changyong sneered.
Yue Peng spread his hands: “But the reality is that we are stepping into the trap he set step by step. Our morale, physical strength, and logistics are draining, and now I am afraid He Lanxiong is replenishing our energy. General, what should we do? ?”
Wang Changyong knocked on the table, “I underestimated the enemy, but what Yue Peng just said is really strange. Yue Peng, think of a way to catch a few jobs, I want to figure this out.”
“understand.”
“Zhijun, your main Yaoqu, the opponent’s performance is the weakest, I will give you more explosives, grenade, don’t be stingy with these things, as long as you win, you have everything, you lose, you have nothing. “Wang Changyong said.
“At the end I understand that at the end of the day, regardless of casualties, I will surely beat Yaoqu down.” Wang Zhijun nodded vigorously: “We can’t fight time with our opponents, all we need is time.”
Yaoqu is responsible for the defense of the two militia reserves from Jishi County and Dayan County, and two 5,000-man reserve guards for Yaoqu. The commander-in-chief is the Dean of Staff of the Jishicheng Military University, and the two deputies are the dean of the staff. They were served by two instructors from the command department of the military university. These two instructors were all heroic generals who had repeatedly made battles on the battlefield and had extremely rich actual combat experience. “Up to now, it is estimated that the Qin army has finally found out that we are the weakest here.” The former dean of the dean and the current chief sway Zhao Youguo looked at his two colleagues with a smile, “The combat effectiveness of the reserve is compared with that of the regular army. The difference is not a star and a half. Next, they will definitely increase their attack on us. Now it is the tenth day, Commander Helan should have almost reached the predetermined position, so we have to hold on for at least one or two days before the enemy will Come on, you two, are you confident?”
The two deputies laughed, “Brother Zhao, this heavy snow is our biggest help. The cold weather has made our walls stronger. After the battle, I have ordered the big guy to rebuild the walls with snow. After rising three feet high and pouring it with water, it became a solid ice wall overnight. It is definitely not inferior to the concrete wall. When the Qin people lift the ladder to attack again, they will suddenly find out, oh my Why is the ladder of the city shorter? Hahaha, the siege vehicle will be much shorter. When the Mengchong vehicle hits the city wall, it first encounters countless sturdy ice mounds in front of the city wall. Our combat effectiveness is a little weaker, but With firepower, it is enough to make the opponent look at the city and sigh.” Zhou Hao, who walked down from the Donghu battlefield, laughed and said, for using ice and snow to fight, he has a wealth of experience that no one can compare.
“In terms of artillery, we have sufficient ammunition, that is, the quality of the gunners is much worse. After all, they have basically never fired any artillery. It is good to be able to operate. A large number of enemies are killed. I am afraid that they have to rely on crossbow arrows and grenades, and close killing .” Another commander Qian Minyi said.
“The artillery can only let them play freely Even if they are blinded, they can cover some, but the big men need weapons but never rely on them. Even if it is a face-to-face fight, we do I won’t lose to anyone. In the next day or two, we will face the fiercest challenge. Let us face him together.” Zhao Youguo said boldly.
“Wang Jian sent someone to ask if we need reinforcements? How do we answer them.” Qian Minyi asked.
“No, they will be the main force in the next battle. They need to accumulate strength and Command Helan to complete the gathering of Wang Changyong’s Ministry and wipe it out. Now this battle, we can withstand it.” Zhao Youguo said.
As expected by Zhao Youguo, from the next day, the Qin army attacking Yaoqu suddenly increased its offensive. Wang Zhijun fulfilled his promise, regardless of the cost and casualties. From the very beginning, the Qin army just threw against himself. The bombardment of the explosive cannon thrown by the plane rushed forward. The ladder was shortened, and some of them were cut off and tied to others. They even used a large amount of explosives to directly carry out blasting operations in an attempt to directly blow down the city wall, thanks to Zhou Hao’s use. The ice and snow solidified into ice and thickened the city wall. The violent explosion cut off the ice layer by layer and shook the city wall, but still stood proudly in front of the Qin.
The casualties on both sides rose rapidly at an astonishing rate. (To be continued.)
