I’m The King Chapter 1385: : Han Banner World (Seventy-Five) Fierce Battle 3 Chuan County
Qu Wan looked at the already dilapidated Sanchuan County City but still stood proudly in front of him, and couldn't help but hate his teeth. The appearance of gunpowder has changed many modes of warfare. Many of his previous experiences have been completely used. No, although our own side has amazingly powerful gunpowder weapons such as dynamite packs and clay pot grenades, the Qin people on the opposite side also have them.
At first the attack on the southern part of the Qin State went very smoothly. Zhou Yu took away his main force, and the only ones in the south with strong combat power were veteran Tan Wei's 5,000 men. The entry of the Chu army was like a storm. Swept across the entire southern part of the Qin Kingdom, but the seasoned Tan Wei did not disperse his troops to support those other cities that were destined to be lost. He shrank all his five thousand elites to Sanchuan County, and he even mobilized all the troops he could mobilize. The local troops also concentrated them in the city of Sanchuan County, and built a complete defense system from the inside to the outside. From the beginning of fighting for the city of Sanchuan County half a month ago, to the time when he was under the city of Sanchuan County, he has *pig* Pig * Island * novel w.zuzd has paid thousands of casualties.
This ratio of casualties caused Qu Wanxi a lot of pain. If it was still the era of cold weapons, the Chu army, which had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, would never pay such a price, but it is different now , A hit of an explosive package can immediately reap a dozen or even dozens of lives.
A lot of people who died had no external injuries at all. According to the doctors accompanying the army, they were shocked to death alive, and nothing could be seen on the outside. However, in the next few days, he died slowly and painfully, and there was no cure at all.
Without capturing Sanchuan County, the central city in the south, the Chu people's control over the south of Qin would not be stable. Although he felt extremely annoyed, Qu Wan could only muster up his spirit and organize his troops. I paid a lot for launching wave after wave of attacks, but Tan Wei's casualties are not much better than his own. Even if it consumes troops, he still has the absolute upper hand, and it only takes another three or two days. , Qu Wan believed that he would be able to win Sanchuan County and end this war.
Although he has 200,000 troops under his command, after occupying the vast south of the Qin people, the troops are scattered like beans. Now there are only 80,000 people gathered under the city of Sanchuan County.
Another wave of attack has been defeated. Every time the city begins to attack from a distance, the people on the city hide like mice, but as soon as the pawns attack the city, they are like Appearing like ghosts, they threw grenades, dynamite packs and other weapons like the besiegers densely packed under the city, turning the city into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Attack after attack. Fail again and again, and then repeat the rhythm of the previous round.
Qu Wanyao looked at the city of Sanchuan County, most of the battlements had been blown up and destroyed, and now the city of Sanchuan County is on top of the city. Most of them are temporary walls built with sandbags, but it is such a city that looks like it will fall down at any time, forcibly shutting itself out.
The news of the Han army's capture of Tanfeng's Yingchuan County and the specific battle report have been sent to Qu Wan, which records the detailed process of the Han army's capture of Yingchuan. On the first day of the junior high school, I heard that the Han army captured Yingchuan County, which was guarded by nearly 20,000 people, in one day. Qu Wan's first reaction was that Tan Feng's Yingchuan County is purely for show, you know it's not good for playing. The strength of the Han army in Yingshui is almost the same as that of Tan Feng left to guard Yingchuan County. Just like the Sanchuan County in front of me, there are just 5,000 regular soldiers, plus some unknown number of local guards, who are young and strong, let themselves toss here for half a month and still can't make an inch.
But when he finished reading the detailed military report, he was shocked and silent.
The Han army has released new weapons.
Gunpowder was invented by the Han people. Now no matter whether it is the Chu army or the Qin people, the gunpowder weapons of both sides play a vital role under the Sanchuan county, but obviously, the Han army has left them far behind in terms of the use of gunpowder. behind.
Like a thunderbolt, the red iron bullet crossed the Yingshui River like a burning fireball and hit the Yingchuan city tower. Let there be no human habitation for a long distance above the city wall, and the tragedy is shocking. Although the forts and fortifications built by the Yingchuan people are reinforced with cement, they are almost defenseless against the attack of this kind of weapon. After careful investigation, the Han people called this weapon artillery.
This is a detailed description of this weapon of the Han army on the battle report. Qu Wan thought about the battle between the Han and Qin armies in Lubin that he had learned a while ago, and there was also a mention of the Han army's weapon called artillery. Comparing the descriptions on both sides, Qu Wan found that the two battles appeared on the two battlefields. The size of the artillery is not the same. The artillery owned by the Han army in Yingshui City is obviously larger and has a longer range. What does this mean? This shows that the artillery of the Han army is not a single product, but a series of products with multiple varieties and different uses. Just like the catapults built by Da Chu, they are formed into covering strike nets according to the distance of the shooting range. But obviously, once the artillery comes out, these trebuchets will become dregs.
After crossing the Yingshui River, the strength is still enough to destroy the world. This kind of range is enough to make any trebuchet of the Chu army helpless.
After Qu Wan discovered this problem, he carefully read the battle in Yingchuan County again, and he couldn't help but sighed. Under such circumstances, the fighting method chosen by Gongsun Zhi of the Tan Feng Department was extremely correct. That is his only chance to win, no matter where he is, there is only one way to choose, and he is almost close to victory. It's just a pity that Gao Yuan's appearance has become the key to reversing this battle.
Why did Gao Yuan appear in Yingshui? Is Tan Feng so worthy of attention in Gao Yuan's mind? Does the founding king of the country, who has achieved great military exploits, have to go there personally?
Qu Wan drew a question mark in his heart. The people of Chu invested a lot of money in Tan Feng, and hoped that Tan Feng could become the help of Chu State in the future, or that Gao Yuan himself had noticed this problem and wanted to take down Tan Feng first. There are still some personal grievances between people. Now that Tan Feng is finished, Tan Feng who lost Yingchuan will become a homeless stray dog. Lu Chao would not take him in. Tan Feng's only destination, or really the only way to go to Chu State, but without Tan Feng in Yingchuan County, is it worthy of Chu State's attention? Even if he still has an army, he can only become a thug.
Qu Wan really doesn't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for Chu State?
"How much explosives do we have?" He turned around and asked the marching Sima beside him.
"General, we still have enough gunpowder. When the war broke out, we controlled the whole city. Now Maowei and all the skilled craftsmen in the workshops of the whole city are in our hands. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, we can continuously Make gunpowder." Marching Sima replied.
"Very well, I want to blow up Sanchuan County to the ground, and I don't want to delay here any longer. If Sanchuan County is not captured for a day, the south of Qin Kingdom will not be able to truly settle down. I want to end this war as soon as possible, Or in the future, our Chu Congress will face a more serious test." Qu Wan said.
"Understood, General, don't worry, I'll go to the whole city to supervise it myself. As soon as the gunpowder there is finished, I'll send someone to transport it to the General." Marching Sima nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work. We won Sanchuan County, and we can discuss a truce with Qin. Lu Chao just captured Xianyang, and it must take a long time to stabilize the domestic situation. Zhou Yu, Bai Qi, these people It's his confidant's serious trouble, if he doesn't clean them up, he won't have the energy to fight us, but if Sanchuan County can't take it for a long time, we will be dragged here, then the situation will be hard to say." Qu Wan said.
The curtain was lifted, and a lieutenant strode in, "General, I just received the news that the Battle of Xianyang is over. In the county seat, Lu Chao made Yingzhun, the posthumous son of the late great prince of Qin State, the king, and he was the ruling minister."
"Where did Yingzhun come from?" Qu Wan was taken aback, "How did Lu Chao take down Xianyang so quickly?"
The lieutenant general shook his head, "What I have received now is just a preliminary news, it seems that Zhou Yu and Xuanyiwei had a conflict, and internal strife broke out in Xianyang City, which led to the Lu army taking advantage of the vacancy and taking Xianyang. "
"How is Zhou Yu now? Is he alive or dead?"
"Zhou Yu is still alive~IndoMTL.com~ and his main force has not been damaged much, and now he is rushing to Sanchuan County with his troops day and night, General, our time is running out, If Zhou Yu comes back in a hurry, we will face tens of thousands of elite Qin troops." The lieutenant general's face was a bit strict.
Qu Wan stood up, "I can't wait anymore, and I can't wait any longer. Pass my order, attack the city, take rounds, and attack Sanchuan County without stopping for a moment. Before Zhou Yu rushes back, we must Take it."
The battle in Sanchuan County, which had been silent for less than half a day, began again. This time, Tan Wei obviously felt the difference in the opponent's strength. The Chu army launched an attack on Sanchuan County like a lunatic. Facing the danger of accidental injury from the bombs launched by our own side, we rushed forward. The opponent's long-range suppression had just ended, and the Chu army had already begun to climb the city wall, and the fastest one had already emerged from the city wall.
Although I don't know what stimulated Qu Wan to go crazy, Tan Wei knows very well that Sanchuan County City has reached the most critical moment. If it can survive this wave, Sanchuan County City may be able to survive. , then everything will stop.
"Kill, kill Nanmanzi to the city." Tan Wei brandished his big knife, and was the first to charge up. (To be continued.)
