I’m The King Chapter 1466: : Han Banner World (one hundred and fifty-six) the battle in the heavy snow (…

Wang Changyong stood on a high ground, staring at Longshou County not far away, his eyes were full of irritability, it had been almost ten days since he attacked Longshou, but there was no progress. He knew what General Lu Chao expected of him. To attack the Han country, he had to beat the Han country to its knees and make the Han country unable to look west for a long time. The main reason was his way. Although Xu Yahua's headquarters in the middle road has more soldiers and horses at Hangu Pass, it is difficult for him to break through the three reorganized armies of the First Military Region of the Han Army and the complete defense network. , it is too close to Chu State, even if there is a breakthrough, I am afraid that it will immediately attract the attack of the Han army, and it is difficult to cause too much damage to the Han State. Only on my own way can I achieve this. Dayan County, Jishi County, and Liaoxi County are all the foundations of the Han Kingdom. If these places are destroyed, the Han Kingdom will inevitably be hurt. For several years or even decades, it is impossible to relax.

The current state of Qin does not have the strength to occupy these lands=pig=pig=island=novel ww.zhuzh, what they want is to smash the Han state to pieces and destroy it completely That's enough.

When King Qin Wulie was still alive, he had already seen this point, but that battle ended in the defeat of Qin State. The two generals Li Xin and Wang Xiao died in the battle, and tens of thousands of troops disappeared. . This is Qin's second attempt. The difference from the last time is that this time, the main force of the Han Dynasty is thousands of miles away. Even if they have wings, they can't fly here. At Hangu Pass, they also need more soldiers and horses, enough to make them scramble.

If he succeeds this time, Wang Changyong will surpass Li Xin and Wang Xiao back then, and will become another general of the Qin State, enough to be famous in history.

But now, he is blocked here. Not just the dragon head, Beiyu. Yaoqu's two groups also made no progress. There are not many soldiers in the third military region of the Han Dynasty. Judging by the flags displayed by the opponent, it is actually the militia reserves of Dayan County and Jishi County. Qin people are no strangers to this militia reserve. In the last Qin-Han war, the Xiongnu cavalry led by Gu Li, who suffered a great loss for Qin people, was the militia reserve of Han.

The militia reserve of the Han State is similar to that of the Qin State, which is all soldiers. The difference is that these reserve forces of the Han State are trained during the slack season. During the training period, the Han government paid the salaries, which was impossible in the Qin state. This made the two sides have a huge difference in the combat effectiveness of the reserve forces.

The Han people allowed the common people to own weapons, and a large number of weapons that were eliminated in the army were sold to the common people at extremely low prices. Every household of the Han people had weapons, even bows and crossbows. cause chaos. But to their disappointment, the Han Kingdom was peaceful and nothing happened, and the common people were much more obedient than those in Qin and Chu. On the contrary, it was Qin Chu. No matter how strict the control was in recent years, riots occurred from time to time, especially in Qin State. The rioters have become the climate.

But no matter how strong the reserve is, he is also a reserve! What puzzled Wang Changyong was why the reservists could withstand their own attacks in such head-to-head offensive and defensive battles.

The snow is heavy. The wind is strong, which increases the difficulty of the attack, but God is fair to both sides. The Qin army is uncomfortable, and the other party will never be uncomfortable. Moreover, Wang Changyong believes that the endurance of the elite Qin army is by no means the ability of the reserve soldiers on the opposite side. In contrast, in such a bitterly cold battle, to his surprise, it was his subordinates who were the first to be unable to stand up. In recent days, he had to weaken his offensive in order to send more people out to find firewood. It was not an easy task to find something burnable on the prairie in a snowy day.

"If we don't capture Longshou and other places, we will freeze to death on the prairie." General Wang Zhijun said with a sad face, "General Wang, the enemy has logistical supplies behind them, and our logistical supplies are too far away. We can't keep up with our consumption. We just need to make a quick decision!"

"The opponent's combat power is beyond our expectations. I doubt that they are not reserve troops at all, but regular troops. I always have a familiar feeling about their tactics, which are different from those of the Han army. It’s the same!” Another general, Yue Peng, looked at Wang Changyong in puzzlement: “The trainers of the Han army reserve are all active or retired officers of the Han army, and their fighting methods should be in line with the main force of the Han army. Why is the enemy not like the Han army, but like our Qin army's tactics?"

"What I'm worried about is not this, but where are the troops of He Lanxiong and Zhao Xilie from the Third Military Region? In the third military region, He Lanxiong had a cavalry force of 5,000 men. When Zhao Xilie came, he brought a cavalry force of more than 10,000 men. Where is this army going? I am worried that they are going to steal our way. If our supply line is cut off, we will be in big trouble." Wang Zhijun reminded Wang Changyong.

"Don't worry about this. I am also a person who leads veteran soldiers. How could I not pay attention to this? Gou Xin and his troops are doing this. Under such weather, I want to make a big detour Bypassing us to attack our supply line, how is it possible, can they circumvent it within ten days and a half months? Where is Gouxin with 5,000 cavalry, wait for him to spend time and effort to bypass our opponents who are waiting for work? I reckon He Lanxiong's main force is still hidden in the rear, and he wants to use these reserve forces to grind us down and delay us, and when our logistics and physical strength are exhausted, the main force will come out together and catch us by surprise!" Wang Changyong sneered.

Yue Peng spread his hands: "But the current reality is that we are stepping into the trap set by him step by step. Our morale, physical strength, and logistics are being exhausted. I am afraid that He Lanxiong is recharging his energy now. General, What should we do?"

Wang Changyong knocked on the table, "I underestimated the enemy myself, but what Yue Peng said just now is indeed very strange, Yue Peng, think of a way to catch some survivors, I want to figure this out .”

"Understood."

"Zhijun, your main attack is Yaoqu, and the opponent's performance is the weakest. I will give you more explosives and grenades. Don't be stingy with these things. As long as you win, you will have everything. If you lose, you will have everything." It's gone." Wang Changyong said.

"The general understands that no matter the casualties, the general will definitely beat Yaoqu down." Wang Zhijun nodded vigorously: "We can't compete with our opponents for time, what we need is time."

Yaoqu is in charge of defending the real two militia reserves from Jishi County and Dayan County. Two 5,000-strong reserves guard Yaoqu. The chief commander is the Dean of the Staff Department of Jishicheng Military University. The first deputies are served by two instructors from the command department of the military university. These two instructors are both meritorious military generals who have repeatedly made military exploits on the battlefield and have extremely rich actual combat experience. "Until now, it is estimated that the Qin army has finally found out that we are the weakest here." Zhao Youguo, the former dean and now the general manager, looked at his two colleagues with a smile, "Compared with the regular army, the combat effectiveness of the reserve is indeed The difference is not a star and a half. Next, they will definitely increase their attacks on us. Now it is the tenth day. Commander He Lan should have almost arrived at the predetermined position, so we have to hold on for at least one to two days before the enemy will attack us. Realize it, two, are you confident?"

The two lieutenants both laughed, "Brother Zhao, this heavy snow is our greatest help. The cold weather has made our city walls stronger. After the last battle, I have ordered the big guys to use the city walls to The snow was built another three feet high, poured with water, and overnight, it became a solid ice wall, which was absolutely no less inferior to the city wall made of cement. When those Qin people carried the ladder to attack again, they would suddenly find Oh, why is my ladder so short? Hahaha, the siege vehicle will be much shorter. When the Mengchong vehicle hits the city wall, the first thing it encounters is the countless solid ice mounds in front of the city wall. Our combat power is weak A little bit, but with firepower to make up for it, it is enough to make the opponent look at the city with sighs." Zhou Hao, who came down from the Donghu battlefield, laughed and said that he has rich experience in using ice and snow to fight.

"In terms of artillery, our ammunition is sufficient, but the quality of the gunners is much worse. After all, they have basically never fired any artillery. Kill the enemy with your own body." Another commander, Qian Minyi, said.

"The artillery can only be left to them to play freely ~IndoMTL.com~ Even if you are blind, you can also cover some, but the big men need weapons but never rely on them. Even in face-to-face fighting, we We will not lose to anyone, and in the next day or two, we will face the fiercest challenge. Let us face him together." Zhao Youguo said boldly.

"Wang Jian sent someone to ask if we need reinforcements? How should we answer them?" Qian Minyi asked.

"No, they will be the main force in the next battle. They need to accumulate strength and complete the gathering and annihilation of Wang Changyong's troops with Commander He Lan. We can withstand this battle now." Zhao Youguo said.

As expected by Zhao Youguo, from the next day, the Qin army that attacked Yaoqu suddenly stepped up its offensive. Wang Zhijun fulfilled his promise, regardless of the cost and casualties. From the very beginning, the Qin army was the top They rushed forward under the bombardment of the explosives thrown by their own throwing machines. The ladders were shortened, and some of them were cut off and tied to others. They even used a large amount of explosives to directly carry out blasting operations in an attempt to directly blow down the city wall. Thanks to the Zhou Hao used ice and snow to solidify into ice to thicken the city wall. The violent explosion cut off the ice layer by layer and blasted the city wall totteringly, but it still stood proudly in front of the Qin people.

Casualties on both sides mounted at an alarming rate. (To be continued.)
