I’m The King Chapter 1453: : Han Banner World (One Hundred Forty-Three) Horrible Conjecture

The navy commanded by Li Quan broke through the water city of Yingdu, and opened a gap in the solid tortoise shell of Yingdu. From the rear, the Twelfth Army commanded by Zheng Xiaoyang and the Thirteenth Army commanded by Tie Xuan also poured in through this gap, flanking the Fifteenth Army commanded by Hutou and the Sixteenth Army commanded by Heng Dao. The outer barrier of Yingdu was the Chu army in Xinye County. Tens of thousands of Chu troops were gathered and wiped out in Xinye. The solid defense of Yingdu was completely broken, and most of the Han troops came to Yingdu.

As a last resort, Qu Zhong withdrew all the remaining 200,000 defenders from the periphery into Yingdu. The battle in Jingzhou started from October to the beginning of December, and the 500,000 troops gathered by the Chu State had already exceeded Three hundred thousand were routed, killed, fled, or captured. The perimeter defenses collapsed across the board, and Yingdu became a truly isolated city.

"Pig>Pig"Island" novel ww.m Qu Zhong stood on top of the city tower, his white hair was blown by the howling north wind, and the wrinkles on his face were deeper than before, guarded by 200,000 people Yingdu City looks like a lot, but Qu Zhong is very clear. The current war is completely different from the past. The appearance of the heavy artillery of the Han army has made all the fortified cities no longer impregnable. The war mode of relying on numbers to win, Gone and never returned.

The people of Chu on the city wall were busy. Piles of sandbags were lifted from the bottom of the city and built on the city wall to prevent the city wall from being attacked by artillery from outside. The trebuchet is being adjusted nervously, but Qu Zhong is very clear that these long-range weapons are useless on today's battlefield, and the artillery of the Han army, which is far beyond their range, can destroy them first without any difficulty, making them completely useless. Unable to exert half of its strength.

Until now, Qu Zhong was very aware of the new tactics of the Han people. When the infantry attacked, it must be a long time of firepower preparation and roaring shells. Most of the long-range suppression weapons of the defenders will be destroyed, and under the cover of the rear artillery, the infantry will charge forward. Before the defenders can react or arrange them in place, their infantry has already climbed to the top of the city. Some cities on the outer defense line were easily broken by the Han army in this way.

The defenders of Yingdu learned these lessons. On the city wall, some caves for hiding soldiers began to be arranged. During the bombardment, these soldiers could hide in it. But at this time, all they can use are the weapons in their hands and the simplest bows and grenades.

Qu Zhong didn't know how long Ying could hold on. His only hope now is that Qu Wan can make a breakthrough, and that the Qin army can enter the Han mainland as quickly as possible and force the Han army to return to the division to save themselves.

"Taiwei!" Bi Xuan walked to Qu Zhong's side, his face also very serious. Bi Xuan was promoted after the First Battle of Pengcheng, and he is an extremely experienced veteran. In this defensive battle, flexion also played a very important role. "The Han army is building a fort, and the general has observed it carefully. It is their heavy artillery, and the range can almost reach the center of the city. I am very worried that the Han people will bombard the city recklessly, causing panic among the people."

"Don't worry, Gao Yuan prides himself on benevolence and righteousness. He would never do that." Qu Zhong shook his head, "Besides, what he did was not only arouse Chu people's stronger hatred and more resolute defense of Yingdu. I can't get anything except my determination. General Bi, can you think of any way to deal with these heavy artillery. They are too much of a threat to the city wall."

"It would be great if the transformation of Yingdu was done a few years earlier. If reinforced concrete structures were used to wrap the outer walls, the defense against artillery attacks would be greatly enhanced, even if more Tibetan soldiers were built on the city. The hole is also good!" Bi Xuan said with some pain: "But we didn't do anything. Now when the enemy came, we discovered that the city wall of Yingdu is too old, and some places are dilapidated. The place is the biggest hidden danger!"

"Who would have thought that Gao Yuan's strategy would be to put Chu first and then Qin!" Qu Zhong showed a wry smile on his face, "This is our biggest mistake, if Qu Wan's 200,000 troops don't go out, the ending will not be like this Fortunately, the people of Qin now understand that if they don’t act again, everyone will die together. Now, we can only hope that Qu Wan and the people of Qin can smash the Han people’s land into chaos and force Gao Yuan to return to the teacher to save himself. Let's take advantage of the situation to counterattack again and make Gao Yuan ignore the head and the tail. As long as we can do this and let the Han Kingdom fail once and for all, we can at least win several years or even ten years of recuperation time. With this time, Qin Chu Together, we will surely be able to compete with the Han people.”

Bi Xuan was silent for a moment, "Taiwei, I have a very bad guess, but I dare not say it to others casually, for fear of disturbing the morale of the army, but it is very sad to hold it in my heart."

Qu Zhong turned his head and looked at Bi Xuan: "What time is it, what else can we say, can the situation be worse than it is now?"

Bi Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Taiwei, since the Han army began to attack our Great Chu, it took more than a month, and they defeated our troops from all over the Great Chu and occupied most of our land. The speed and efficiency are so high that people feel like they are in a nightmare, but since the Taiwei began to mobilize troops from all over the country, such as Yingdu, and intentionally gave up the place, the attack speed of the Han army slowed down instead, as if they were allowing us to withdraw Troops from all over the country come to Jingzhou to organize the final line of defense. This is not in line with common sense. I thought about it carefully. If the Han army wants to stop the Taiwei, their cavalry can completely stop some local troops from entering Jingzhou. But they did not do so .”

Qu Zhong's face changed slightly: "What do you want to say?"

"At the beginning, I thought, could it be that Gao Yuan was thinking of consummating all his achievements in one battle, and after allowing us to transfer troops from all over the country to the Jingzhou theater, he went all out to destroy the last essence of my Great Chu, making us devastated from now on, never to recover again? If there is no resistance force, solve the problem once and for all, so as not to cause trouble for them after the war will appear in various places." Bi Xuan said.

"Maybe he has this kind of thought, but he may not have imagined that we will unite the forces of the Qin people, and we will save those who attack them." Qu Zhong said.

"Taiwei, what if Gao Yuan had thought of this? Could it be that Gao Yuan would naively think that the peace treaty would make Lu Chao honestly be a turtle in Xianyang?" Bi Xuan asked back.

Qu Zhong took a deep breath: "A wise man is always worried, and there is bound to be a loss. The Han army has been invincible since the day it became an army. The defeat in Pengcheng was one of their few defeats. A teacher who is always victorious must have arrogance, and besides, the civil turmoil in Qin has just been resolved, or Gao Yuan did not expect that Lu Chaoyi would quell the domestic turmoil in such a short period of time."

"Yes, this is one possibility, but I am worried about another possibility." Bi Xuan said seriously.

"Another possibility?"

"Yes, Gao Yuan and Lu Chao grew up together, and later fought against each other many times. If there is anyone in the world who understands each other best, it is probably the two of them. What I am worried about is that Gao Yuan Thinking once and for all is not only for us Chu people, but also for Qin people."

"What do you mean?" Qu Zhong changed color.

Bi Xuan's face was as white as the snow that was falling: "Taiwei, I have been thinking about this problem for the past few days. If things are really as I thought, Gao Yuan will take everything into consideration. We will Waiting for the Qin people to send troops, he may also be waiting for the Qin people to send troops. If the Qin people stay in the country, the Han army will have to attack city by city, and the loss will be huge, but if the Qin people Come out? What if Gao Yuan has set a trap for the Qin people to get in? That battle, as long as Gao Yuan wins, it will be truly once and for all, destroying our Chu State and the last strength of Qin State, At that time, if the Han army drives into Qin again, I am afraid that Qin will not have a single soldier to resist."

Qu Zhong's face also turned pale, and he involuntarily clenched his hand in, his nails deeply embedded in his palm, "You, why did you have such an idea?"

"The attack speed of the Han army." Bi Xuan sighed: "Since entering the Jingzhou theater, the attack of the Han army has been unhurried. It seems that they are moving forward every day. In fact, their attack is Changing troops, today this one, I know that one, is attacking in turn. This is what I found after I was free for the past two days, thinking of this possibility, and then looking through the previous military newspapers. After Qu Wan entered Yingzhou County, the attack of the Han people suddenly accelerated. Taiwei, they are invincible. The battle of the navy showed us the strong offensive ability of the Han people. Our navy is not an opponent at all. Since it is In this way, why didn’t Gao Yuan open the gap from somewhere before? Could it be that a general like Gao Yuan can’t think of it? Even if Gao Yuan can’t think of ~IndoMTL.com~ With so many generals under him, no one can’t think of it?”

"The sudden acceleration of the attack speed is obviously because Gao Yuan wants to end the battle, because he has already got what he wants. Now the Qin people must have dispatched on a large scale, entered the Han territory, and started to confront each other. Since the snake Now that we are out of the cave, Gao Yuan will naturally take us down as quickly as possible, and then go back to deal with the Qin people."

Qu Zhong raised his head high: "Maybe you are right, but we still have 200,000 troops in Yingdu. Could it be that we are made of mud, and he can take it if he wants? Let him Let's attack, we Chu people will let him see what the Great Wall of Flesh is!"

Bi Xuan nodded silently, what can he say? If everything is as he said, if the Qin army suffers a devastating defeat, the state of Chu will be over, and he would rather all this is his own delusion.

When Qu Zhong and Bi Xuan were standing on the top of the city tower, Gao Yuan was slowly retracting the telescope in front of him in the distant position of the Han army, on top of the tall tower: "Xu Yahua came out Hangu Pass, Wang Changyong left Shannan County, Qu Wan, Meng Yong attacked Yingshui, almost all the enemies who should come out have come out, the mission of Yingdu is completed. Tomorrow morning, the general attack will begin!"

"Obey!" On the tower, dozens of generals bowed in unison. (To be continued.)
