Chapter 2614: Liu Yu is vicious, the battle of Hanzhong

Han Xin and Wang Jian teamed up to break the Xicheng. Since then, the door to the Middle East of Han Dynasty has been completely opened to Daqin. This was a good thing, but there was one thing that made everyone unhappy.

"Deputy Governor Han, all the warehouses in Xicheng have been burned to the ground, and just like Anyang County, all the light and strong people in the city have been recruited into the army." Wang Jian said solemnly.

After hearing this, Han Xin, Wen Pin, Zheng Lun, Chen Qi and other generals in Jingzhou also showed serious expressions, obviously they all knew what the news meant.

Although Xicheng did not belong to Hanzhong County, the three counties occupied by the Qin army, including Anyang, were without exception, and all Qingzhuang were recruited in advance.

This probably means that all the young and middle-aged people in Hanzhong have been incorporated into the army by the Shu army. The preparation of Shuhan and Qin army in Hanzhong are deadly.

The total population of Hanzhong County is 45, and the total population of Xicheng is 48. Among these 12 people, if women, children and the elderly are excluded, even if the light and strong account for only a quarter, there are still [-] people.

Most of the Qin soldiers thought that after capturing Yangping Pass, it would be an easy task to capture Hanzhong.

After all, the most difficult thing to beat in Hanzhong is Yangping Pass. Even this hard bone has been broken. How difficult will the rest of the cities be?
There are even many people who think that in order to stop losses, the Shu army is likely to give up Hanzhong voluntarily after the fall of Yangping Pass.

But now the various performances of the Shu army, it is obvious that they are not ready to give up Hanzhong.but
The Shuhan grain depot was burned, and there was a serious shortage of food and grass. It was barely enough to support their own army, let alone the 12 young and strong.

Therefore, the purpose of Shu Han is already very obvious, that is, to exhaust everything in Hanzhong to consume the Qin army, even if Hanzhong is scorched into a piece of scorched earth, it will not hesitate to sacrifice all Hanzhong people.

Zhang Ren, Shen Shiqi, Liu Er and others obviously couldn't make such a decision. They neither had the right nor dared to do so. Only Liu Yu could make such a decision in Shuhan.

Before giving up Yangping Pass, Zhang Ren had already passed a letter to Liu Yu, informing Nanzheng and Yangping Pass of the situation, and directly said that Yangping Pass could no longer be held.

At this time, Liu Yu was launching a counterattack in the south of Shu. After all, Chi You was injured by Hou Qing and could not go to the battlefield in person. Naturally, such a good opportunity would not be missed.

Without Chiyou in the Southern Army, the strength of the entire army was reduced by 1 point, and the overall combat power was brought back to the same level as that of the Shuhan veterans.

However, the Southern Army has only 10,000+ soldiers and horses, while the Shu Army has a full army of more than 20, and there are many strong generals such as Xing Tian and Lu Ya, and even Emperor Liu Yu went to the battlefield in person.

After being proclaimed emperor, Liu Yu broke his own bottleneck, and his basic force reached 105, officially joining the ranks of the God of War, but he belongs to the weaker group among the God of War.

Liu Yu's own martial arts are second, mainly because of his personal battle, which greatly inspired the Shu army.

On the other hand, the Southern Army saw that Liu Yu had participated in the battle in person, but his own lord could not participate in the battle in person, and his morale would inevitably be affected.

In addition, Zhu Rong and Gonggong were not the opponents of Xing Tian and Lu Ya, so it was difficult for the Southern Army not to fall behind.

The Southern Army captured the four and a half counties of Shu Han, but under the counterattack of more than 20 Shu troops, the Southern Army retreated steadily, losing the entire territory of Zangcang County, three counties of Liangshan County, and three counties in the northern part of Jianning County. It was a heavy loss.

Chi You couldn't participate in the war, and if it was just Gonggong alone, it was naturally impossible to stop Xing Tian and Lu Ya. If Fei Lian and Pingyi were not there, Gonggong would have already died in the battle.

Both Fei Lian and Ping Yi were carried by Ying Long, and they were both implanted in Nanzhong after they were born, and they became Chi You's generals.

Fei Lian is not the Fei Lian of the Shang Dynasty who died under the arrow of Hou Yi, but the star god who was one of the fourteen stars in the ancient mythology.

Pingying is also the name of the god in ancient legends, but the names recorded in different books are different, and he also has various identities such as Rain Master, Cloud God, Thunder Master, and Wind Master.

As ancient gods, both of them have extraordinary strength, and they are both god-level warriors after they were born.

Fei Lian is born with supernatural power and is brave in the three armies, while Ping Yi has both civil and military skills, wisdom and bravery.

The education in the southern country is backward, and there is a shortage of talents. All-round talents like Pingyi will naturally be reused by Chiyou.

Therefore, in addition to being a general in the army, Ping Yi also occasionally worked as a counselor when Prime Minister Shi was away.

Liu Yu hid the trump card of Lu Ya, while Fei Lian and Ping Yi were Chi You's backers.

But Chiyou never imagined that he would be injured by Hou Qing, and he was too injured to participate in the battle, so that the ace became a life saver.

If it weren't for Fei Lian and Ping Yi, Gong Gong would have been beheaded by Xing Tian.

Once Gonggong died in battle, Chiyou would not be able to participate in the war, then the Southern Army would be really in danger.

The role of Fei Lian and Ping Yi was limited to saving Gong Gong, and even if the three of them joined forces, they could only barely fight against Xing Tian and Lu Ya.

But in the Shu army not only Xing Tian and Lu Ya, but also Liu Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Shi Jingtang and many other fierce generals.

If it is only a god general, can it be resisted by the number of people or by the army?But how to counteract the God of War?

Just when the southern army was in danger, the princess of the southern country, Zhu Rong, stood up and took up the banner of the southern country in place of her brother.

Zhu Rong led a thousand iron cavalry to attack the Central Shu Han army, and singled out Xia Houying, Xiao Sheng, and Shi Kuanghan three generals, but was able to defeat them.

In order to keep the central army from chaos, Liu Yu resolutely ordered Zhang Fei to go to support, but by the time Zhang Fei arrived, the three generals had already been defeated, Xia Houying and Xiao Sheng were wounded and fled, and Shi Kuanghan died tragically by Zhu Rong's sword.

Zhang Fei is a long-established fierce general, and does not take Zhu Rong as a woman at all, but after [-] rounds of battle with Zhu Rong, although he avoided Zhu Rong's flying knife, he fell off the horse because the front leg of the horse was cut off.

Although Zhu Rong's flying knife is not as powerful as Lu Ya's Zhanxian flying knife, it is also one of the most powerful flying knives in the world. It is normal for Zhang Fei to attack without any precautions.

If Liu Yu hadn't shot in time and stopped Zhu Rong with an arrow, Zhang Fei would have died at the hands of Zhu Rong, and Liu Yu was forced by Zhu Rong to take part in the battle himself.

Although Zhu Rong failed to kill Zhang Fei, he wounded him, and then fought against Zhang Fei who was injured and joined forces with Liu Yu.

This time Zhu Rong failed to win, but he did not lose either. In addition, the iron cavalry had already entered the central army, threatening the hinterland of the Shu army.

In the end, Zhu Rong's [-] iron cavalry, although only a hundred cavalry left, killed nearly [-] Shu troops, dragged the originally inevitable defeat to a draw, and saved more living strength for the Southern Army.

After this battle, Zhu Rong became famous in the first battle, and the name of Zhu Rong, the princess of the Southern Kingdom and the God of Fire, began to become louder and louder.

But even with Zhu Rong's participation in the war, it still can't change the strength gap between the two countries, and the fact that the Southern Army was defeated.

Under the counter-offensive of the Shu army, the southern army suffered heavy losses, and even had to give up all the cities in order to gather up their forces so that they could continue to fight against the Shu army.

Of course, in the battle between Shu and Man, not only Zhu Rong's performance was outstanding, but also the performance of Deng Qiang, the defender of Shu Han and Lan, was amazing.

Deng Qiang used [-] Shu troops to go deep alone, threatening the food supply of the Southern Army, forcing Chi You to divide his troops to deal with Deng Qiang, but instead fell into Deng Qiang's calculations.

Deng Qiang used the strategy of encircling points and setting up ambush, defeating Meng Huo and beheading Meng You in the first battle, defeating Tang Yu and beheading Duan Siying in World War II, defeating Gonggong in three battles, and beheading Jihuo, the leader of the Chi Dong tribe of the Dong nationality.

With 2000 troops, Deng Qiang wandered behind the Nanguo Army, won all three battles, beheaded more than [-] Nanguo Army, and three fierce generals. He set the best record after the war in Shu, but he also lost more than half, leaving only Less than [-] people returned.

When he first learned that Deng Qiang's lone army was going deep, Liu Yu also felt that Deng Qiang's move was too risky, and he was worried that Deng Qiang would ruin the [-]-strong army.

But as the good news continued to come back, and the record became more and more exaggerated, Liu Yu realized that Deng Qiang was a hidden dragon.

Liu Yu has been vigorously attracting talents from the outside world, but he didn't realize that there was a general talent lurking around him, so he was overjoyed.

Deng Qiang won all three battles, which greatly weakened the southern army, and Liu Yu was preparing to pursue the victory and beat the underdogs, but unexpectedly received the news of the fall of Yangping Pass.

The fall of Yangping Pass was a bolt from the blue for Liu Yu. After all, it would be difficult to keep Hanzhong without Yangping Pass.

Liu Yu never expected that Yangping Pass would fall so soon. After all, the total Qin army was only 13, while he had arranged [-] troops in Hanzhong, and Li Siyuan's [-] troops, totaling [-].

With 13 offenses and [-] defenses, how could the defender not be able to defend for two months?

But the reality is that Yangpingguan really failed to hold for two months.

When he learned that the Qin army passed the Pengzi army, first burned the Nanzheng grain depot, made the Shu army uneasy, and then broke the Yangping Pass, Liu Yu was not thoughtful about what to say.

Liu Yu also only knows soldiers and knows Li Jing's peg army tactics. On the surface, it sounds simple, but how difficult it is to implement, so he doesn't blame Liu Zhang and Zhang Ren. I'm afraid his words will be miscalculated as well.

Now the Yangping Pass on the northern line has been breached, and Hanzhong is at stake, but the southern border has not yet been resolved.

Liu Yu immediately summoned his advisors to discuss how to deal with the Qin army, but they all came to the conclusion that Hanzhong could not be saved.

Liu Yu thought for a whole night by himself again, and finally decided to break up with Qin Jun.

Since Hanzhong was destined to fall to the enemy, it could not be cheap for the Qin army in any case. Even if Hanzhong was beaten to nothing, it would not allow Hanzhong to become a bridgehead for the Qin army to conquer Shuhan.

It's not that Liu Yu didn't think about moving all the people of Hanzhong back to Shu, but it was difficult to go to Shu, and secondly, it was too late, so it would be better to just destroy it.

But even if Liu Yu had the intention to destroy Hanzhong, it would not be cheap for Da Qin, and he would not be able to directly kill his own people, otherwise Shu Han would not agree, and he would definitely be spurned by the world.

After thinking about it, Liu Yu thought of an even more vicious method, that is to use all the light and strong people in Hanzhong as cannon fodder.

Just imagine, if all the young people in Hanzhong died at the hands of the Qin army, would the people of Hanzhong still obey the Qin army's rule?

The thing that Li Jing was most worried about was about to happen. Liu Yu was determined to fight Qin Jun to death. He would rather turn Hanzhong into a piece of scorched earth than Daqin, but if Daqin came hard, he would only get a broken Hanzhong .

It has to be said that Liu Yu's method is indeed vicious enough, but Li Jing is in a dilemma. After all, the Qin army has already broken through Yangping Pass and paid such a high price, so it is impossible to withdraw the army.

But if it is forced, 10,000 to [-] Shu troops, plus [-]+ Hanzhong's light and strong, even if the Qin army can gnaw it down, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties, and what they get is only the dilapidated Hanzhong, which is not worth the loss.

At Li Jing's deliberate request, after Han Xin and Wang Jian stayed in Xicheng for three days, they left half a month's rations for the people of the city, and then they led an army of [-] to Nanzheng. During this period, Nanzheng had already erupted. a big battle.

On this day, the four gates of Nanzheng City were opened wide, Zhang Ren led [-] Shu troops and [-] Cais out of the city through armed light and strong, madly attacking the Qin army camp.

The Qin army was well-trained and well-equipped, so such an attack would naturally not have much impact, but it would be exhausting after a long battle.

Li Jing ordered Yang Jian to lead only [-] iron cavalry, and he easily defeated the light and strong intruders, beheading nearly [-], but he himself lost little, but the next day, the soldiers and people of the Shu army attacked again.
