The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 71: Offensive and defensive battle
After the capital of Wudu County was captured by Zhong Yu, the whole Wudu County did not have much resistance.
All the soldiers and elites were dragged to the county seat. He was the only one with a few dozen people left in the county seat. He barely maintained some security and used it to resist the army's attack. That was a complete joke.
So Zhong Yu assigned two thousand system soldiers, and went to the remaining four county towns to attack, and by the way clean up those gentry.
and he is staying to rectify the ten echelon recruits who have been crippled.
After the baptism of this war, although the number of people lost was very large, all those who were not suitable for the war were eliminated. The rest were crawled out of the sea of blood. No longer strange veterans.
The original 23,000 recruits, after this battle, only 15,000 were left. The number of casualties reached 8,000, and the number of injured reached 30 to 40%. This is already a terrifying ratio.
In general this kind of recruits, the achievement will collapse as soon as they die. If they hadn't used those system soldiers as the supervising team and pressed them behind, I'm afraid they would have been unable to wait long ago and fled.
But now their emotions are very unstable, and it takes him more than ten days to recuperate. And the reason why I indulge their **** behavior in Wudu County is to use the lives of those people to vent the fear and excitement in their hearts.
After venting all the negative emotions in their hearts, they are only qualified soldiers, and their minds calm down and they can follow their orders.
Zhong Yu knows that they hate themselves very much, but what can be done? Their relatives are in their own hands, and their future is tied to their own thoughts. Can they still resist?
After fifteen days and a half, all the system soldiers who were sent out to clean up the remaining county town have returned. And the emotions of these recruits slowly stabilized, and they will go out again.
There were two hundred guards left in each county town, and 800 guards in the county town. In addition to the dangers of the checkpoints everywhere, the whole Wudu county left him with three thousand guards. It should be enough to come to guard.
pulled away another 8,000 people from Wudu County and incorporated them into the Xiandeng Camp to serve as cannon fodder in taking over the war.
My army has reached 22,000 men again, at least enough to meet the needs of the next war.
Wudu County, after this war and its own scourge, the population has dropped from 80,000 to 50,000 now, among which there are even less than 5,000 young people.
Wudu County is going down, so my worries have been relieved, and then I will complete my strategy of capturing Yizhou.
The first step is Zitong County. Zitong County has nine counties under its jurisdiction and has a population of more than 200,000. It is a big county!
The terrain is a long strip shape, from north to south, all the way down, and there are many checkpoints along the way, which is the only way from Hanzhong to the hinterland of Yizhou.
The more famous levels are Jiangeguan and Mianzhuguan. There are countless small levels. In short, it is a very dangerous county.
The army left Wudu County and went all the way down. Two days later, it reached the first county seat of Zitong County, Baishui County.
There are not too many levels in this county seat, so I was easily taken over by myself. After a day off, I went south again.
came to Hande County, where there is a Xiongguan, Jiangeguan. However, this did not cause much hindrance, and the news of his own occupation of Baishui County did not reach this side.
I can forge the illusion that the guards from Baishui County went to Hande County on business. In this way, they deceived their city gates, and when their elite troops entered the city, they couldn't help it.
is the previous routine again. The city gate was easily deceived by himself. The entire Zitong County has not experienced wars for hundreds of years.
Their defense and vigilance for war can be said to have reached the lowest point in history. It wasn't until next year that the horses in Yizhou caused chaos, which caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yizhou, which completely raised the whole Yizhou's vigilance against war.
As of now, apart from the barbarians of a limited number of minorities, there is not much war at all. Yizhou can be said to have been in peace for a long time.
Jiange Pass was captured by myself in this way, leaving 1,000 people to be stationed in the pass. Make a detour to Hande County by yourself, capture it, and then head east to Hanshou County.
This is the easternmost county seat in Zitong County, next to Langzhong County in Brazil. As long as I control it, then I will have the road to attack Brazil by myself.
Three days later, Hande County, Baishui County, and Hanshou County in the northern part of Zitong County were all captured by Zhong Yu.
The gate of Zitong County was completely opened to Zhong Yu, and the intersection to the hinterland of Yizhou was also opened.
In addition to leaving two thousand guards everywhere, a mighty army of more than 20,000 swept the entire Zitong County. In ten days, the whole county was occupied by Zhong Yu.
30,000 young men were drawn from it, and they were again incorporated into the cannon fodder camp. Zhong Yu went all the way down and won the Mianzhu Pass. Infiltrated Guanghan County and directly attacked Luo County.
Guanghan shakes, Yizhou shakes. Suddenly, the entire Yizhou and the counties and counties around Guanghan knew that there was a group of people who had taken down Guanghan County and was spreading to the surrounding counties and counties.
Shu County, where the Yizhou government is located, is even more horrified. The governor of the state ordered the surrounding counties and counties to lead the army to help Shu County~IndoMTL.com~ However, Zhong Yu would not give them a chance. After reacting, he brought 50,000 people directly into Shu County. The government that surrounded Shu County was also the government of Yizhou. At this time, there were only 5,000 soldiers in CD City. Although these soldiers are not as vulnerable as other county soldiers, they have also experienced some wars and put down some barbarian rebellions.
But the number of people is too small after all. In recent years, there have been no barbarians. After a few years, they have not trained much, and they have long been ignorant of the skills of killing.
and I have five times the number of them. I don’t need to play too many tricks. I just crush it upright. I believe that even if they can support for a period of time, they will definitely be able to win this place within ten days. city.
is another cannon fodder battalion organized into ten teams, but this is a team with three thousand people. The supervising team has also changed from a systematic soldier to a Hanzhong soldier who survived last time in Wudu City, and the cannon fodder has become a 30,000 young man in Zitong County
Countless young men with fearful faces were ruthlessly driven up by the supervising team, carrying sandbags to fill the moat. The moat is more than ten meters wide, and it is believed that even this distance will have to fill it with five or six thousand people.
The work of filling the river from the morning to the afternoon was not completed until it was getting dark. And those cannon fodder really killed more than 5,000 people, and there were wailing everywhere, and countless seriously injured people lay on the battlefield. No one took them back, and they could only wait silently for death there.
One night passed, and there was no attack on the camp, but it was extremely quiet until dawn, and all the soldiers had a good night's sleep.
The next day began again, and the tragic siege was restarted. This time the dead and wounded soldiers were reorganized into five echelons, each with 5,000 people. This time they will face the battlefield. Not filling the moat before.
