Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2525 Qin Wu Wei VS Shu Chu

Chapter 2521: Qin Wu Wei VS Shu Chu

"General Zhang, I'm overjoyed." Shen Shiqi smiled.

"Where does the joy come from?" Zhang Ren asked.

"The casualties have been counted. Our army killed 530 people and killed 760 people from the Qin army. The Qin army's horizontal knives and armor captured are enough to equip tens of thousands of troops." Shen Shi laughed.

"[-] hits [-], but the casualties are nearly [-]% higher than the Qin army. What's the joy of this?" Zhang Ren asked back.

"Uh, what you said is so wrong, but the general must know that fighting against the violent Qin can cause more than [-] casualties to the Qin army in one battle, which is very few.

Moreover, the cost of raising the Qin army is much higher than that of my big man.

The [-] Qin army, plus the pension, can lower our Shu army by [-].

Calculated in this way, our army only paid 500 casualties, but spent 5000 resources. This is of course a victory. "

Shen Shiqi also knows that fighting can't be counted like this, but he can't fight head-on, so he can only find excuses from other aspects to boost morale;
Seeing that Zhang Ren was ignoring himself, looking in a daze, Shen Shiqi shouted, "General? General Zhang?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I lost my mind." Zhang Ren sighed.

"General Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. Sergeant, why are the soldiers of the Qin army so tenacious?

In the end, the thousand Qin troops who were left behind were reduced by [-]%, but they still fought to the death.

If all Qin troops are like this, is there any hope for me, a big man? "

Zhang Ren was a little frightened by the Qin army. He had been on the battlefield for a long time, but he had never seen such a tenacious army. Liu Jijun and Chi Youjun were not enough to see in front of the Qin army.

Hearing Zhang Ren's remarks, Shen Shiqi was silent for a while, and then said: "The general's question, I can't answer it, but as a Han minister, you should fight for the Han until the last moment."

"What the strategist said is very true. Since the Qin army can set up an ambush in Zhushan, it means that Fangling must have fallen. What should the Japanese army do next?" Zhang Ren asked.

"Fangling City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, since it was captured by Han Xin, it will be extremely difficult to regain it.

According to what I see below, it is better to return to Xicheng first, wait until Chu State sends troops to Jingbei, and then see if there is a chance to retake Fangling City. "Scrutinize it.

"That's the only way." Zhang Ren sighed lightly.

If he had an army of [-] people, he would definitely attack Fangling City directly.

But he now has only [-] troops left, so he can't storm Fangling City, which has [-] to [-] defenders, right?

After Zhang Ren cleaned up the battlefield, he led his army back to Xicheng.

On the other hand, after Han Xin learned that the ambush failed and lost more than [-] soldiers, he was not killed by Jintai and Gao Lan.

Although the soldiers in the ambush were damaged by nearly half, the casualties of the Shu army were even greater.

It should be known that Daqin has a population of 800 million, and the damage of thousands of soldiers is not a loss at all for Daqin, and it can be replenished in the blink of an eye.

Shu Kingdom and Da Qin are destined to be unable to fight for consumption.

"Zhang is this general, and he has few victories. I thought he was a mediocre general, but now I don't want to see through the ambush plan of the Governor."

Han Xin looked surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Ren, who had been defeated many times, to be able to see through his ambush so calmly when he was urgently supporting Fang Ling.

Han Xin is a very proud and self-confident person. In his eyes, what kind of famous generals can be born in such a remote and remote place in Shu Kingdom?

Except for Liu Yu, there is no one in Shu who is qualified to be Han Xin's opponent in terms of military use.

But he didn't want to be caught by Zhang Ren, who had a dismal record. This made Han Xin realize that he underestimated the heroes of the world.

"It was the Governor who underestimated Zhang Ren, and the setback in this battle was not the fault of the two generals."

Although Han Xin is arrogant, he is not conceited. When he recognizes his mistakes, he will correct them in time, instead of gnashing his teeth to the end.

Han Xin took the initiative to take the blame and attributed it to his underestimation of Zhang Ren, which made Jin Tai and Gao Lan a little embarrassed.

"No, it's the responsibility of the last commander. After Zhang Ren found out, if the last commander had chosen to retire directly, he would not have sacrificed so many soldiers." Jin Tai said angrily.

Gao Lan said: "At that time, the last general also thought that while I was at ease, my [-]-strong elite army might not be able to defeat the [-] Shu army head-on. I didn't expect to underestimate the Shu army."

"After this lesson, we should all bear in mind, don't underestimate the heroes of the world because of my great power and strong national strength.

His Majesty also once said: Despise the opponent strategically, and attach importance to the opponent tactically;" Han Xin said sternly.

"promise."

Jintai, Gao Lan and others will speak in unison.

Han Xin nodded, and then said: "Since Zhang Ren's reinforcements have arrived, and there are many strong generals in the army, it is more than ten times more difficult to capture the West City, so the Governor decided not to attack the West City."

If Zhang Ren did not return to the West City to defend, but instead came to Fangling for a decisive battle, Han Xin would naturally have absolute certainty to attack the West City.

But Zhang Ren just finished the battle and immediately returned to Xicheng. He clearly didn't want to fight the Qin army head-on, and Han Xin would not spend his troops on attacking the city, so he could only temporarily give up attacking Xicheng.

"Deputy Governor, if we don't fight Xicheng, where should we fight?" Mi Houwang asked.

Han Xin glanced at Mi Houwang indifferently, and thought to himself, "The governor is the governor, why should you add a deputy?"It's a pity that you're still from the Mi family, and you don't even know the etiquette.

"Fangling has gone down, and Shangyong County is already fat on the lips, but now Jingbei is empty, considering that the Chu State may come to invade, it is better to take Shangyong County as soon as possible, so as to prevent the night from dreaming too much."

As soon as Han Xin finished speaking, a soldier came to report: "Report to the Governor, Chu State has raised an army of [-] soldiers and waterways, and marched into Xiangyang County in two ways.

Deng Yu, the commander of the Left Army, led an army of [-] troops to attack Xiangyang from Jiangling;
Wei Zhang, the commander of the Right Route Army, led an army of [-] troops, and Jiang Xia attacked Xiangyang;"

Before Han Xin captured Fangling City, Zhang Su, the envoy in Chu and Shu, met Liu Xiu, explained his interests to him, and asked Chu to carry out the duty of an ally, send troops to Jingbei, and help Shu to share the pressure.

After discussing with his advisors, Liu Xiu resolutely decided to send troops to attack Jingbei.

Even if Xiangyang cannot be conquered, Chu State must send troops to rub the prestige of the Qin army, let all countries know that there are still people who dare to fight against Qin, and thus arouse the anti-Qin hearts of all countries.

With the demise of the Tang Kingdom, among the Eight Kingdoms of China today, the Chu Kingdom, which is the most active anti-Qin state, basically supports all of them as long as it is related to anti-Qin.

After the second Battle of Guanzhong started, Chu State also supported Li Tang at the first time after receiving Tang State's request for help, and deployed heavy troops in Jiangling to contain the Qin army in Jingbei and prevent it from intervening in the Battle of Guanzhong. go.

This is also why the Chu army was able to dispatch troops so quickly this time.

The [-]-strong army had already been mobilized, and Liu Xiu gave an order, and the two-way army of Deng Yu and Wei Zhang began to march, directly eliminating the process of mobilizing troops and dispatching generals, and the speed of action was naturally faster.

The Chu army had been waving the flag and shouting before, which also gave Jingbei Qin army the illusion that the Chu army only dared to support and did not dare to confront the Qin army.

If the 15 Jingzhou Qin army is there, let alone the Chu army only comes with [-], even if it is [-], the Qin army will not be afraid at all, after all, the defender has the advantage.

What's more, it is impossible for the state of Chu to dispatch 15 troops to attack Jingbei. After all, the total strength of the state of Chu after the disarmament is only 20, and there is still the great enemy of the state of Wu in the east.

With the current total strength of Chu State, at most [-] troops can only be dispatched to attack Qin.

Coincidentally, in order to capture Shangyong County, Qin State transferred [-] Jingzhou troops and took the initiative to give the opportunity to Chu troops.

With the combat effectiveness and tenacity of the Qin army, [-] Qin troops would face a hundred thousand Chu troops. It could not be said that they could not fight, but there was definitely a certain risk involved.

Han Xin was naturally well aware of this, but fortunately he had already captured Fangling City and completely cut off the connection between Shangyong and Hanzhong.

With the fortified city of Fangling and Xincheng County in hand, Shangyong County has been unable to make waves, so the strategy for Shangyong can be slowed down.

Han Xin can first divide an army to support Xiangyang, and after defeating the two armies of Chu State, he can attack Shangyong. After all, as long as Fangling is not lost, Shangyong cannot escape.

"General Jintai, the Governor ordered you to lead [-] troops to support Xiang..."

"Report... Governor Xue has an order."

Before Han Xin finished speaking, he received an order from Xue Rengui, the governor of Jingzhou.

After Han Xin took it apart and looked at it, his brows could not help frowning.

When the generals saw this, they were a little confused, so Jintai asked, "Captain, Commander Xue Da, what is the order?"

"Wouldn't it be for us to give up Fangling and return to Xiangyang?" Chen Qi said.

"How is it possible that Governor Xue, as a generation of famous generals, has been on the battlefield for a long time, how could it be possible to give such an order." Gao Lan said.

"That's right, Fang Ling's strategic significance is too important, as long as Fang Ling is in hand, I, Da Qin, can advance and retreat and defend, and I am invincible.

And once Fang Ling is abandoned, this battle will be in vain, and the sacrifices of the soldiers will be in vain.

It is impossible for Dudu Xue to not know this, so how could he give such an order. " Jintai said.

"But what if Governor Xue thought it was more important to defend Xiangyang?" Zheng Lun asked rhetorically.

"Okay, wait, don't guess."

As soon as Han Xin said this, the generals immediately shut up.

"The governor said in the letter that [-] troops are enough to keep Xiangyang. Not only do we not need to wait for us to withdraw and return to Xiangyang, but instead let us continue to attack Shangyong and minimize casualties."

Hearing Han Xin's remarks, the generals were dumbfounded, not understanding where Xue Rengui's confidence came from.

It should be known that there are [-] Chu troops who came to invade this time. With only [-] Qin troops, no matter who leads the army, it may not be certain to win.

The same goes for Han Xin. If he were to command an army of [-] people, he would definitely be able to defend Xiangyang, but he had no absolute certainty that he would win.

Han Xin didn't know where Xue Rengui's confidence came from, but since Xue Rengui, the great governor, gave him orders, naturally his subordinates could only obey orders.

At the same time, in Xiangyang County, in the Governor's Mansion.

The governor of Jingzhou, Xue Rengui, was sitting on the throne, while Zhang Jiuling, the prefect, and Guan Zhong, the newly appointed governor, were sitting on his left and right sides.

In Guan Zhong's five dimensions, in addition to force, the other four dimensions have broken through [-]. Such a versatile talent, Ying Hao will naturally be reused.

But Guan Zhong was implanted in Bingzhou as a Biejia, and Bingzhou is now extremely stable, there is neither war nor any natural disaster, Guan Zhong has no chance to make great achievements in Bingzhou.

It is too slow to accumulate merits and promotions only by political achievements. Guan Zhong himself is willing to wait, but Ying Hao is not willing.

Therefore, Ying Hao used a little selfishness and transferred Guan Zhongping to Jingzhou to serve as Biejia and also the leading division.

The reason why Xue Rengui was at a disadvantage against [-] against [-], but still had confidence in this battle, was because he adopted Guan Zhong's strategy.

Guan Zhong offered a plan to Xue Rengui, and sent a person who could speak and speak as an envoy to persuade the monarchs of Wu and Wei, claiming that [-] reinforcements from Sizhou had left, in order to strengthen the position of the two countries.

In addition, Wu State was invited to send troops to attack Jiangxia County, and Wei State and Qin State were invited to attack Jiangling County together, claiming that the other country had agreed to send troops, and made a written promise that no matter whether they succeeded or failed, they would be rewarded with great gifts.

This is to mislead the two countries of Wei and Wu, and make them think that Da Qin has made up his mind to completely expel the forces of Chu from the north of the Yangtze River. In order to make profits, the two countries will definitely send troops to help Qin.
