I’m The King Chapter 1418: : Han Banner World (108) Iron Wall (Part 1)

The vanguard of the Chu army arrived in Danfeng County, which is only a few miles away from Wuguan. When Wuguan was lost, part of the remnant troops under Zhang Gan fled here, and the Han army did not know why. The reason is that no troops were sent to attack this county which does not have much defensive capability.

Qu Wan also rushed here at the first time, and with the arrival of the large Chu army, scouts from the Han army immediately appeared around Danfeng County. Under the head of Danfeng City.

The situation has become so bad that Qu Wan has been very careful. He almost racked his brains for this retreat, but he still lost nearly 20,000 infantry and tens of thousands of cavalry during the retreat. Everything was caused by the cavalry of the Han army who had been wandering on both sides of the Chu army.

The morale of the Chu army was very high, and the idea of ​​returning to the motherland to fight against the tyrants made the soldiers maintain a high morale while returning home, but the successive losses severely affected the morale of the soldiers. Strike, this road home, does not seem to be so easy to walk.

Of course it is extremely difficult to leave. Qu Wan has already learned the latest information about the Han Army in Wuguan. The strength has reached 20,000 people. For a city like Wuguan, 20,000 people is the limit, and it can accommodate the most guards. This is extremely bad news for the Chu army. Qu Wan is very clear that even though he has an army twice as large as the opponent, under the terrain like Wuguan, the advantage of having a large number of people cannot be brought into play at all. What's more, what I'm facing is the first army of the Han army's most elite youth guard army, which can be said to be famous.

The reputation of the army is earned, not blown out. Facing Wuguan guarded by such an opponent, Qu Wan really had no confidence in his heart.

One by one scouting teams were sent out, and now he needed to understand the defensive situation of the entire Wuguan. He couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The more anxious he was, the more careful he was in his actions.

As more and more information was collected on his desk. The enemy's defense system on the sand table in front of him took shape little by little in front of him, but Qu Wan's heart became heavier and heavier.

This is a defense system he has never seen before, and it is completely inconsistent with the experience he has accumulated in the military for decades, obviously. This defensive position was designed according to the style of play of the Han army. The most important part of this must be the artillery that can cause huge damage at a long distance.

"General, the Han army built the entire defense system with Wuguan and Shaoxi Mountain as the fulcrum. The frontline defensive position is several miles away from Wuguan, and the forward position is prominent. What is the rear of the forward position? , we have no way of knowing, but one thing is certain is that if we want to win Wuguan, we must first win Shaoxi Mountain. According to the surviving soldiers of Zhang Gan, the reason why Wuguan fell It was because the Han army captured Shaoxi Mountain first. Then they set up artillery on the mountain and bombarded the city from a high position. The first thing they destroyed was the long-range weapons in the city, and then they bombarded the defenders at the top of the city, making it impossible to organize Therefore, the focus of our first attack is to take down Shaoxi Mountain. As long as we can take down Shaoxi Mountain, we can emulate the previous success of our opponents, although we do not have artillery. But large stone throws The machine can also throw the bag into the city. It can still cause huge damage." The forward general Wang Shubo pointed to the sand table in front of him and said.

"The Han army won Wuguan by relying on this trick. They must know that the focus of our attack is also Shaoxi Mountain. Now their defense must be the strictest. Everyone knows this. So Shaoxi Mountain's The battle will be a **** battle." Qu Wan sighed.

"There is no other way." Wang Shubo said: "General, our department is willing to be the vanguard. Even if we shed all our blood, we must take down Shaoxi Mountain. Otherwise, we will not be able to take Wuguan at all. And. The sooner the offensive is launched, the better, you know, I went to the front line to look at it these two days, and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw everything.”

"What did you see?" Qu Wan was taken aback.

"The Han army is still building the line of defense. They built a densely packed fortress. The speed of construction is shocking. They made a mold with wooden boards, poured something into it, and inserted iron rods one by one. , I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but on the third day, when I went again, they had removed the wooden boards outside, and what I saw was a gray fortress, and they had even begun to install the magic machine crossbow on it. In just a few days, their front line has more than a dozen such fortresses."

Qu Wan said in a low voice: "I know this thing. In the Han Dynasty, all buildings with reinforced concrete structures were built with this technology. The construction speed is extremely fast, and they are durable. In fact, our Dachu has also mastered it now." This kind of technology. This kind of reinforced concrete structure is very difficult to destroy.”

Wang Shubo was silent for a moment: "General, we must attack as quickly as possible. Every day we delay, the enemy's defense will become stronger. The domestic situation is dangerous, and we urgently need to return home, and our logistics is not enough. It may support us to fight the enemy here for a long time."

"Wuguan was seized, and a large amount of our food, grass, and weapons fell into the enemy's hands. Fortunately, some of Wuguan sent out earlier, plus what we brought from Sanchuan County, can support the army for about half a month. Dosage." Qu Wan said.

"That is to say, in half a month, we must take Wuguan." Wang Shubo took a deep breath: "General, I ask for orders to launch an attack on the enemy immediately, without waiting for Bai Xizhong and Huang Zhong. "

"Huang Zhong suffered a serious loss, and because of this matter, he and Bai Xizhong had a very unpleasant quarrel. For the time being, we can't count on them anymore." Qu Wan sighed.

"No wonder Bai Xizhong is responsible for this matter. Speaking of which, Huang Zhong was negligent in guarding against it. The Hun cavalry division must have entered through the gap in his defense zone and rushed into Bai Xizhong's headquarters first. The attack on Baixi's central headquarters attracted two other cavalry troops. After going to the rescue, they turned back to Huang Zhong's rear, but how did the cavalry of the Han army do this?" Wang Shubo sighed. "It's not only Huang Zhong who can't understand this, but also me, the last general, who finds it incredible!"

"The cavalry of the Han army are the most tenacious. Ten years ago, when Yan Guo attacked Donghu, Gao Yuan was trapped. It was He Lanxiong who stayed up for several days and nights. When they arrived at the camp, they fought with Gao Yuan inside and outside, and defeated the Donghu people, which allowed Gao Yuan to escape from Jingyuan to the prairie, and then returned to Jishi City. If it wasn't for this battle, Gao Yuan would have been wiped out by the Donghu people long ago." Qu Wan slightly Sigh: "The ability to run long distances, no one can be more powerful than the Han cavalry, let alone the Donghu cavalry division and the Xiongnu cavalry division, the cavalry is one person with two horses or even three horses. It was my negligence to be able to intersperse and detour in a large area in the shortest time. For many years, the Han army has never demonstrated this ability again, and almost everyone has forgotten it. Wait for the two of them After the people arrive in Danfeng, let me mediate for them, the enemy is at present, if we can't work together, it will be defeated before the battle."

Wang Shubo nodded slightly. In the current situation, the general can only shoulder the responsibility first, and Qu Wan stepped forward to shoulder the responsibility. Bai Xizhong and Huang Zhong would not blame each other and cause the army to lose morale.

"General, Fan Kui, Deputy General of Wuguan, please see me." An officer strode in from outside.

"Fan Kui, is he still alive?" Qu Wan stood up suddenly.

"He, he was escorted by a group of Han troops." The officer hesitated and said.

Being escorted by the Han army means that Fan Kui has been captured by the Han army. Wang Shubo's face showed anger, and the morale of the army is already low. The Han army escorted Fan Kui here so swaggeringly. It is another blow .

"This coward." Wang Shubo said angrily, "What are you doing with him? Kill him!"

Qu Wan shook his head, Fan Kui himself is fine, but the power behind this person, even he, is a little bit jealous: "It doesn't matter whether you kill or not, as long as he comes back. We happened to learn something about Wuguan from him."

Fan Kui entered the room with trembling body, Yang Dasha wrote a letter for him to send over, he was extremely unwilling to come here, if he killed Zhang Qian and surrendered, if Qu Wan knew, Then he would not be able to survive. You must know that among the Chu army, if anyone dared to kill him, Qu Wan would definitely be one of them. If people don't know ~IndoMTL.com~ unless they do nothing, the matter of killing and surrendering by oneself is not a secret in Wuguan, if it reaches Qu Wan's ears, it will be over.

"General!" Seeing Qu Wan, Fan Kui's legs softened and he knelt down. "The last general will be guilty."

Qu Wan took a deep breath, and suppressed the disgust in his heart: "General Fan, please, the loss of Wuguan is due to the cunning of the Han army. It is beyond my expectation that you can resist for so long. Besides, it would be nice to come back alive, thank you for your hard work. Come and show General Fan a seat."

"Thank you, General!" Hearing Qu Wan's soothing words, Fan Kui felt relieved.

"You came back from Wuguan, you should have a general understanding of the current situation in Wuguan, right?" Qu Wan asked.

"Yes, I understand, I understand." Fan Kui nodded again and again, more than understanding, he himself took part in the construction of the fortifications with the surrendered Chu army, and the Han army didn't seem to shy away from him at all. It was not until the final deployment of military defense that they, the Chu people, were allowed to leave. (To be continued.)
