I’m The King Chapter 1463: : Han Banner World (One Hundred and Fifty-Three) Stay to the death, break through and die
Qu Wan could not do anything, in order to prevent his remaining 100,000 sons from falling on the land of a foreign land, he chose to surrender. His surrender immediately made the situation in the whole south clearer. The two Qin army troops that broke into Wulong were in a desperate situation in an instant. The 10,000 cavalry were originally going to rescue Yingshui, but now they immediately diverted to Wulong and began to attack the Qin army. The first and second divisions of Yang Dasha's first army who came from Wuguan also rushed to Wulong immediately. More than 40,000 southern frontier troops and more than 30,000 Xuanyi guards led by Meng Yong were all blocked in Wulong.
Meng Yong fell into despair, the logistical supply route was cut off, and he knew very well that there was no reinforcements at all. Now Qin's troops, one led by Xu Yahua, went out of Hangu Pass to attack Jinyang, and the other led by Wang Changyong, went out of Shannan County to attack Jishi and Dayan. He was firmly dragged in the land of Bashu, and there were not many Lu Chao's direct descendants stationed in %pig%pig%dao%novelww. Xianyang, it was impossible to rescue him.
Wulong is a land of desperation. Here, it was ransacked by Lu Chao first, and then after the Han army took control of it, in order to lure the enemy into deep, they made another big retreat. It is impossible to resupply on the spot.
The daily consumption of nearly 80,000 troops is a terrifying figure, and the food and grass carried with the army is going to be upside down.
Thirty thousand Xuanyi Guards were stationed in Wulong County City, and the 40,000 southern frontier troops took Wulong County City as the center of a circle, and deployed defenses in Banyan Town, Changgou Town, and Yanping Town, forming a semicircular defensive circle.
"Although we occupy the three towns of Banyan, Changgou, and Yanping, there is no way to completely connect these three places. The Han army is mainly cavalry, and they can intersperse behind our army at any time. So after the battle started, Xuanyiwei must not hide in the city and stay still. He must attack from time to time, cooperate with our army, and defeat the Han army that penetrates in. Otherwise, as long as one of the three places is breached, a chain effect will be formed, and the other two places will also be defeated. You can't hold it." Wang Ming stood in front of the map and said to Meng Yong and Lu Zihui.
Now among the three generals in Wulong. Only Wang Ming, the former deputy general of the western frontier army, has real experience in warfare. Meng Yong is the son of Meng Tian. He has read a lot of military books, but if he really wants to apply it in practice, he will be in a hurry. Lu Chao didn't send him here because he The military strategy is outstanding, but he has taken a fancy to the tens of thousands of elite troops in the southern frontier army, which is his father's old unit. Back then, the 200,000 southern frontier army was dismantled into chaos, which is the one under Zhou Yu's command. It was saved by Zhou Yu. As for Lu Zihui, he has personal ability, but the same problem is here too. The Xuanyiwei who is stationed in Xianyang has too few opportunities to go to the battlefield. Over the years, the only battle was at Hangu Pass, led by King Qin Wulie to defend the pass.
"General Wang, we can't stick to it! The food and grass won't last long." Meng Yong rubbed his hands nervously. Looking at Gou Yi beside him: "General Gou, how much food do we have?"
Gou Yi's face was gloomy, and he never thought that things would suddenly develop to this point. "I have ordered that from today onwards, the army will only eat one meal a day. Even so, it will not last for half a month."
"General Wang Ming, for the current strategy, I'm afraid we can only break through the encirclement to be the best strategy." Lu Zihui said.
"Breakthrough?" Wang Ming couldn't help but laugh: "General Lu, the main force of the Han army surrounding us is three cavalry divisions. Do you want to give up your solid defense in front of the Han army's cavalry and fight a field battle with them?"
"Xuan Yiwei is invincible in the world." Lu Zihui sullenly said, "Staying here is just waiting to die. There is only a chance to break through."
"Break out, and die faster!" Wang Ming said decisively. "I'm sure that the only way for us to return to the southern border must be the first army of the Han Army's Young Guards. It is not something that can be done in a short time to break their defense. The cavalry bit on the way, for our infantry-based troops, it was disastrous."
"We can't defend, and we can't break through. What can we do? What is Qu Wan doing?" Meng Yong murmured.
Wang Ming smiled wryly: "Does this need to be said? Qu Wan must be finished. The three Han cavalry divisions left the Jingzhou theater, which can only show that the capital of Chu State has been captured, and the main force of the Han army is attacking us." Come here in a big way."
"It's over after the 150,000 troops have been bent?" Meng Yong's eyes widened.
"It may not be all over, but as long as Qu Wan knows that Yingdu has been captured, he will not fight anymore, because everything has lost its meaning. The biggest possibility is that he has surrendered to the Han army .” Wang Ming’s face was gloomy.
"In this case, we must break through, General Wang, I, Xuanyiwei, no matter what you do, we must break through." Lu Zihui suddenly stood up, "If you hesitate any longer, wait until the Han army arrives, we will break through." If we dare not even have the slightest chance, even if it is the Young Guards standing in front of us, I will fight them."
"You have to fight, our southern frontier army will not accompany you." Wang Ming said coldly. "You have to kill yourself, don't pull the southern frontier army."
"What can you do if you stay here? Are you waiting to die?" Lu Zihui roared.
"Staying here, even waiting to die is better than dying immediately." Wang Ming retorted insultingly.
"Don't fight, you two, now is the time to help each other in the same boat. Together we will benefit, and we will lose if we divide. We can discuss it carefully and we can always come up with a good solution." Meng Yong looked at the two generals In an argument, you can only be a peacemaker in the middle.
Wang Ming stood up, and said coldly: "Xuan Yiwei wants to leave, I will not stop him, but he is not allowed to take a single piece of food, otherwise, you will not be able to leave my defense zone."
"How dare you!" Lu Zihui slapped the table and roared.
"You can try it!" Wang Ming glanced at him, turned around, and walked out of the conference hall.
The discussion broke up unhappy, and Meng Yong was full of worries. He was the commander in name, but the real leaders of the two armies were Wang Ming and Lu Zihui. Now that the two were quarreling, he was helpless The same is true for Shi and Gou Yi. When Lu Chao stood behind him, everyone had to sell his face, but now he is in a desperate situation, Lu Chao is beyond his reach, and he can no longer maintain his authority to suppress Lu Zihui and Wang Ming. up.
At three o'clock, Gou Yi hastily knocked on the door of Meng Yong's room, "Marquis Meng, Lu Zihui has gathered the generals of the Xuanyi Guards, and has decided to break through."
Meng Yong was shocked, "If Lu Zihui really does this, what if Wang Ming refuses to agree?"
Gouyi sighed: "Menghou Lord, now the two armies have turned against each other. I can barely suppress the Xuanyiwei, but the southern frontier army can only look at you. Go and tell Wang Ming Let Xuan Yiwei bring three days' worth of food to break through, and it can be regarded as an outpost for them. If they can't break out in three days, it is basically useless. If they can tear a hole, the southern frontier army may still be able to I was lucky enough to walk out through this opening."
"General Gou, the Han army has three cavalry divisions!" Meng Yong sighed.
"Lu Zihui is right. If you stay here, you will die sooner or later. There is no way out. Let's break through. If you can run away, you can count as one. You can't cook the whole pot here, or you can catch the Han army by surprise. Let's go!" Gou Yi smiled wryly: "I have decided to break out with Xuan Yiwei, how about you, Lord Hou, do you stay here or go with us?"
Meng Yong was stunned for a moment, "Forget it, I'll stay here, I'll go to Wang Ming, let him look at my face, when you break through, support as long as you can !”
Xuanyiwei decided to break out of the siege, and Wang Ming's southern frontier army took over the city of Wulong County. , ordered the defenders at Changgou and Yanping to make feints to confuse the Han cavalry on the periphery, making them mistakenly think that the Qin army would break through. After successfully mobilizing the Han cavalry, the two defenders quickly retreated to the starting point. At the same time, the 30,000 Xuanyi guards were already attacking from the slate.
The Han army did not expect that the Qin people would split into two parts at this time, one to defend and the other to break through. In the direction of Slate, there is also Guli's cavalry division.
The 30,000 Xuanyi Guards, with 5,000 cavalry as the main force, tried to engage in a decisive battle with Guli's Hun cavalry division, but to their disappointment, Guli led the troops back, and the 5,000 cavalry did not dare to leave the infantry brigade It was too far away, seeing that Gu Li would not fight with him, so he could only return and lead the way as the vanguard of the whole army.
As soon as the Xuanyiwei cavalry left~IndoMTL.com~ Guli's cavalry division immediately bit the Xuanyiwei's infantry brigade, and the five thousand cavalry in the division were divided into several waves, and they continued to fight non-stop along the way Biting Xuan Yiwei's flesh and blood. The forward speed of Xuanyiwei was lowered and lowered again and again.
At this time, Yang Dasha had already lined up his formation on the only way Xuanyiwei must pass, and was waiting for Xuanyiwei to bump into him head-on. When the sky was bright, Gouyi and Lu Zihui could see clearly ahead of them. An army of 20,000 Han infantrymen blocked the only way they had to pass. The muzzle of the guns pointed directly at most of the Qin army.
On both sides of them, Gu Li's cavalry division had already pushed forward. Five thousand cavalry galloped and roared straight to Xuanyiwei's flanks on both sides.
"Cavalry, go to the battle!" Lu Zihui shouted angrily, if he couldn't break through the young guards on the opposite side, the entire Xuanyiwei army would be wiped out here today.
"Fire!" In the Han army formation, the roar of the artillery officer sounded at the same time.
There was a loud sound, puffs of thick smoke, one after another bombs flew into the sky, and fell towards the galloping cavalry of the Qin Army, and behind the artillery, a divine machine crossbow was aimed at the cavalry , their goal was to intercept those enemies who broke through the artillery attack. Further back, the infantry held spears one by one, forming a forest of guns. (To be continued.)
