I’m The King Chapter 1448: : On the eve of Han Banner World (138th)

Wuguan, Yang Dasha sat silently at the majestic juncture, staring into the distance. Wave after wave of scouts were rushing from outside the pass, and they brought back only one piece of news, Qu Wan's 150,000 Chu army, who was trapped in Danfeng, had set out overnight, and their goal was the direction of Han.

There is no one soldier in Taian or Wulong now, and the only obstacle is Yingshui City, where Mei Hua leads nearly ten thousand officers and soldiers of his third division and five thousand newly transferred student troops, It will become the only barrier to stop the Chu army.

Yang Dasha is very clear that Yingshui is not Wuguan, and it is impossible to stop the assault of tens of thousands of Chu troops with this force. If you don't beat them up, you won't dare to rush into the interior on a large scale.

 ig-pig island-novel..p;Yang Dasha silently calculated in his heart, even if the king immediately launched an attack in Jingzhou at this moment, and defeated the state of Chu within the fastest speed, it would count as returning to the army , at least a month's work.

"Commander, we can't just wait here!" Wu Ya beside him jumped up and down like a monkey, "We have to do something? For example, go to the rear of Qu Wan? He The current money and food are all provided by the Qin people, let's cut off their back road, let them have no money and food, and they will be unable to move."

Yang Dasha glanced at him: "Meng Yong has already stationed in Dantong County, 20,000 of the 40,000 southern frontier troops are stationed in Danfeng County, and Lu Zhihui's nearly 30,000 Xuanyi Guards are behind Qu Wan. , how many people do you have, can you harass their rear? Are you looking for death? Besides, what if Meng Yong takes the opportunity to seize Wuguan after we go to fight Qu? Maybe Meng Yong has not fought many battles, he is a guy who talks about war on paper , but Wang Ming of the southern frontier army is not a vegetarian. What if the Qin people take the opportunity to attack the Chu State after losing Wuguan? Isn’t this adding trouble to the king’s plan to defeat the Chu State? Aren’t you helping Meihua , is harming him."

"How can Yingshui City resist? There are 150,000 Chu troops, as well as Qin people. Yingshui City is not Wuguan!" Mei Hua yelled.

Yang Dasha stood up, without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the pass.

Wu Ya looked at Yang Dasha's back and swallowed hard. Yang Dasha's behavior seemed to explain something, which made him feel even more panicked. He turned around and leaned on the city wall, "Plum Blossom , you have to hold on. You, if you die, let my sister become a widow, let my nephew lose my father, I will bite you a few times if you are a ghost."

During Yang Dasha's silent worry and Wu Ya's cursing and praying, the Han army in Yingshui City was already tense, and Meihua's observation posts in Qin'an, Kailong and other places had already withdrawn and brought them back. Of course it's not good news. Qu Wan's march was rapid, and he had already crossed these two places and entered Yingchuan County.

"Announce all the people in Yingchuan County, who are willing to retreat with our army. You can follow our army, cross the river, go to Yingshui City, or go further inland. Tell them that the Chu people are coming The Chu army, who is so poor that they are dying, will probably regard them as fat sheep. After three days, the bridge will be demolished. At that time, they will not be able to leave even if they want to." Mei Hua said lightly, and walked out of Yingying. The government office of Chuan County once again set foot on the pontoon bridge on the Yingshui River.

There is not a single soldier in Yingchuan County. This situation has naturally frightened the people in Yingchuan County. The news that the Chu army and the Qin army are coming has spread throughout the city. Chu people, they naturally know more about Han people, thanks to the encouragement of Fang Shu and Tan Feng to the transactions between the two sides. Although the people of the two places live in two countries, they know each other's policies and national conditions very well. Now, everyone naturally believes more in the discipline of the Han people and the Han army.

As for the Chu people, it is said that they were forced by the Han people to live in the southern part of the state of Qin. As soon as the announcement came out, dozens of pontoon bridges on the Yingshui River were immediately crowded with fleeing civilians.

Three days later, Yingchuan City has become an empty city, no matter whether rich gentry or poor people inside, they escaped cleanly with more or less of their own gold and silver. Naturally, Yingshui City is not safe either. This place will definitely become a battlefield. The safest place now is of course the mainland of Han.

"Teacher, let's burn Yingchuan County with a fire. Why can't we leave this big city to the people of Chu? It's winter, let's let them live in the wild and freeze them to death." Bin said fiercely.

"Burn? Burn for what? How much does it cost to build a city? It's a pity to burn. If it really burns, we won't be able to rebuild it in the future. If we don't burn it, let's leave it to Qu Wan and lend it to them first. Live here!" Mei Hua sneered and said, "It's just a temporary loan, and it won't be long before he will still belong to us."

Long Bin rubbed his chin, "Teacher, I'm afraid we will struggle a bit in this battle."

Mei Hua laughed loudly, "It's not that it's hard work, it's that the whole army is in danger of being wiped out, because in the order I received, I didn't say to retreat. You understand what this means, Long Bin, I'm scared Is it?"

"It's nothing to be afraid of, isn't it ten to one? There are a dozen of them. Fortunately, the Yingshui River doesn't freeze. We still have a river as a barrier." Long Bin laughed.

"One month, we have to fight for at least one month. If we can persist until that moment, we will have a chance." Mei Hua said.

"Master, I'm a little worried. If Qu Wan can't beat us all the time, he can divide his troops, leaving tens of thousands of people to entangle us, and then the other troops will bypass Yingshui and directly attack the inland area. What can we do? What to do?" Long Bin asked.

"This is for sure, Qu Wan will definitely do this, but he is also very clear about the threat of an enemy remaining behind him, so in the first stage, he will definitely want to pull us out in one fell swoop." Well, this stage must be the saddest time for us, let’s count it as ten or so days. When he understands that he can’t move us, he will divide his troops, so at this stage, what we have to do is to kill a large number of people.”

"When he understands and begins to divide his troops, he will have to leave tens of thousands of people to deal with us, right? Hehe, then the number of troops he divides will be reduced. When entering the interior, it depends on the defense capabilities of each country. Yes. Minimize the loss, this is what we can do, but no matter what, I am afraid that this time the southern region of our mainland will suffer losses. The extent of the loss depends on how well the king fights in the Jingzhou theater Once the war in Chu State is over, Qu Wan's war will also be over," Mei Hua said.

"That is to say, the more we kill, the smaller the local losses will be, right?" Long Bin said.

"You are so smart!" Mei Hua smiled.

Long Bin blushed, "Teacher, I'll check the layout of the defense line again, you might as well rest for a while, in a few days, this big battle will start."

"Rest? There is no such time, you go." Mei Hua waved his hand and said.

Walking down from the top of the city, Mei Hua went straight to the barracks. Inside the barracks, more than a hundred selected engineers lined up neatly. The short and strong engineer battalion commander stood at the head of the line. One.

Looking at these people, Mei Hua's eyes couldn't help but heat up.

"Report to the division commander, the special operation team of the engineering battalion has been selected, and a total of 121 brothers volunteered to participate in this operation." The engineer battalion commander took a step forward, saluted Mei Hua, and held He held a box and handed it to Mei Hua, "This is the suicide note of one hundred and twenty-one brothers, please pass it on after the war."

Mei Hua took the box with both hands, held it high above his head, and bowed deeply at the waist, "Brothers, you will always have a place in the meritorious service of the big man. After this battle, if Mei still If you are alive, a big stone tablet will be erected on the banks of the Yingshui River, and your names will be engraved on it, so that you will be remembered by generations of Han people.”

"Thank you, sir!" One hundred and twenty-one big men roared in unison.

"Serve the wine." Mei Hua shouted sharply.

The engineer battalion commander came up first, took a large bowl of wine from Mei Hua, raised his neck and drank it completely, smashed the wine bowl with a bang, and strode out of the barracks.

One by one the men came over, took the wine from Mei Hua, drank it all, broke the bowls, and followed their battalion commander to the outside of the barracks.

Standing on the pontoon bridge and walking across the Yingshui River, this small troop of 121 entered the empty Yingshui City. The next moment, these people dispersed and quickly disappeared in every corner of the city .

This is a death squad~IndoMTL.com~ Long Bin proposed to burn the city, but Meihua vetoed it, but Meihua didn't tell the truth, he didn't want to burn the city, he wanted Yingzhou county to be burned even more worth some. He wanted to make Qu Wan feel overwhelmed when he first arrived at Yingshui River. His secret weapon is the one hundred and twenty one brave soldiers who are destined to never return.

The pontoon bridge began to be dismantled, and it was slowly withdrawn section by section from the direction of Yingzhou County City. The riverbed and beach that were exposed due to the dry season in winter are now covered with triangular cones made of cement, scattered and scattered on the attack surface. The sandbags were more than one meter high, and from the beach to the embankment, there were temporary interception points built with sand forts everywhere. From the beach to the embankment, and then to the Yingshui City behind, a comprehensive defense fortress with no dead ends is undergoing final perfection.

The people in the city have basically been evacuated, but there are also many people who are unwilling to leave. They voluntarily join the logistics service team to do some service work for the army, carry stretchers, cook, and take care of the wounded. By joining, Meihua can draw more soldiers to the defense line.

Come on, let me show you what a real soldier is. Mei Hua turned around and walked away. Now, he was going to mobilize his subordinates for the last time before the battle. (To be continued.)
