Text Chapter 1385: The Han Banner World (75) Fierce Battle at Sanchuan County

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qu Wan looked at the dilapidated Sanchuan County City but still stood proudly in front of him. He couldn't help but feel his teeth itching with hatred. The emergence of gunpowder had changed many patterns of war. Many of his previous experiences were completely useless.  Although our own side has amazingly powerful gunpowder weapons such as explosive packs and clay pot grenades, the Qin people on the opposite side also have them.  @, The attack on the southern part of Qin was extremely smooth at first. Zhou Yu took away his main force. Only the veteran Tan Wei's 5,000 men were left with strong combat effectiveness in the entire south. When the Chu army entered, it swept across like a wind and a lingering cloud.  The whole south of Qin State was conquered, but the old-fashioned Tan Wei did not disperse his troops at all to support other cities that were destined to be lost. He contracted all his five thousand elites to Sanchuan County, and he even mobilized all the places he could mobilize  The troops gathered them in Sanchuan County and built a complete defense system from the inside to the outside. From the battle for Sanchuan County half a month ago to the time when he defeated Sanchuan County, he had already spent thousands.  human casualties.  This casualty ratio made Qu Wanxi extremely painful. If it was still the era of cold weapons, the Chu army, which had an absolute advantage in military strength, would never pay such a price. But it is different now. An explosive  If you hit the target, you can immediately harvest a dozen or even dozens of lives.  Many of the dead people had no external injuries at all. According to the doctors who accompanied the army, they were shocked to death. There was nothing visible on the outside. In fact, their internal organs had already suffered heavy blows. They even seemed fine at the time, but  In the following days, he died slowly and painfully, with no treatment at all.  Without capturing Sanchuan County, the central city in the south, the Chu people's control over the south of Qin would not be stable. Although he was extremely annoyed, Qu Wan could only muster up his energy and organize his troops.  Launching wave after wave of attacks, he paid a lot of price, but Tan Wei's casualties were not much better than his own. Even if he wasted his troops, he still had the absolute upper hand. He only needed three or two more days.  , Qu Wan believed that he could capture Sanchuan County and end this war.  Although he had 200,000 troops, after occupying the vast south of the Qin people, his troops were scattered like beans.  Now there are only 80,000 people gathered under Sanchuan County.  Another wave of attacks was defeated. Every time the city began to attack from a distance, the people on the city hid like mice without knowing where to go. But as soon as the infantry started attacking the city, they became like ghosts.  They emerged and threw grenades, explosive packs and other weapons like attackers who gathered under the city, turning the city into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood.  Attack after attack.  Failed again and again, and then repeated the rhythm of the previous round.  Qu Wanyao looked at Sanchuan County City. Most of the battlements had been damaged by the bombing. They were now on the top of Sanchuan County City.  Most of them are temporary walls built with sandbags, but this is a city that looks like it will collapse at any time, blocking itself out.  The news of the Han army's capture of Yingchuan County in Tanfeng and the detailed battle report have been sent to Qu Wan, which records the detailed process of the Han army's capture of Yingchuan.  On the first day of the new year, I heard that the Han army had captured Yingchuan County, which was guarded by nearly 20,000 people, in one day.  Qu Wan's first reaction was that Tan Feng's Yingchuan County was just a show-off, you know.  The strength of the Han army in Yingshui is almost the same as the strength of the troops left by Tan Feng to guard Yingchuan County.  Just like the Sanchuan County in front of me, there are only 5,000 regular soldiers, plus an unknown number of local guards. They are young and strong, and they have been struggling here for half a month without making any progress.  But after he read the detailed military report, he was shocked and silent.  The Han army has new weapons.  Gunpowder is an invention of the Han people.  Now, no matter whether the Chu army or the Qin people, under the Sanchuan County, the gunpowder weapons of both sides play a vital role, but it is obvious that the Han army has left them far behind in the use of gunpowder.  Behind him.  Like a loud thunderbolt, the red iron bullet crossed the Yingshui River like a burning fireball and hit the tower of Yingchuan City. Wherever it passed, walls were broken, columns were folded, houses were toppled, and fires shot up to the sky. One such ammunition could destroy the city wall.  There is no human habitation for a large distance above, and the tragedy is shocking.  Although the fortresses and fortifications built by the Yingchuan people were reinforced with cement, they were almost defenseless against attacks by such weapons.  After careful investigation, the Han people called this weapon artillery.  This is a detailed description of this weapon of the Han army in the battle report.  Qu Wan thought about what he had learned some time ago about the battle between the Han and Qin armies in Lubin. There was also mention of the Han army's weapon called artillery. Comparing the descriptions on both sides, Qu Wan discovered that the appearance of artillery on the two battlefields  The cannons are different in size. The cannons owned by the Han army in Yingshui City are obviously larger and have a longer range. What does this mean?  This shows that the artillery of the Han Army is not a single product, but a series of multiple varieties and uses.A unique collection of products.  Just like those trebuchets built by Dachu, a covering strike network was formed according to the distance of the shooting range.  But it is obvious that once the artillery is released, these trebuchets will become dregs.  After crossing the Yingshui River, its power was still enough to destroy the world. This range was enough to make any trebuchet of the Chu army unable to fight back.  After Qu Wan discovered this problem, he carefully read the battle in Yingchuan County again, and couldn't help but sigh. Under that situation, the fighting method chosen by Tan Feng's general Gongsun Zhi was extremely correct. That was his choice.  The only chance of victory is that wherever he is, there is only this path to choose from, and he is almost close to victory.  It's just a pity that Gao Yuan showed up and became the key to reversing this battle.  Why did Gao Yuan appear in Yingshui?  Is Tan Feng so worthy of attention in Gao Yuan's mind?  Does the founding king, who has great military exploits, have to lead the expedition in person?  Qu Wan drew a question mark in his heart.  The people of Chu invested a lot of money in Tan Feng, hoping that Tan Feng would be able to help the Chu State in the future, or perhaps Gao Yuan himself had noticed this problem and wanted to capture Tan Feng first. It is said that there is still a relationship between the two  There are some personal grudge issues, and now Tan Feng is finished. Tan Feng, who has lost Yingchuan, will become a homeless stray dog.  Lu Chao would not take him in. Tan Feng's only place to go might be to surrender to Chu State. But without Tan Feng in Yingchuan County, would he still be worthy of Chu State's attention?  Even if he still has an army, he can only become a thug.  Qu Wan really doesn¡¯t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Chu State?  "How much more explosives do we have?" He turned around and asked the marching Sima beside him.  "General, we still have plenty of gunpowder. As soon as the war started, we took control of the whole city. Now Maowei and all the skilled craftsmen in the city's workshops are in our hands. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, we can continuously produce gunpowder.  Come." Marching Sima replied.  "Very good, I want to blow Sanchuan County to the ground. I don't want to delay here anymore. If Sanchuan County is not taken for one day, the south of Qin will not be able to truly stabilize. I want to end this war as soon as possible, or the next  , our Chu State is facing a more significant test." Qu Wandao.  "I understand, General. Don't worry. I will go to the whole city to supervise the matter in person. As soon as the gunpowder is prepared, I will send people to transport it to the general." Marching Sima nodded.  "Thank you for your hard work. After taking Sanchuan County, we can discuss a truce with Qin. Lu Chao has just captured Xianyang. It will take a long time to stabilize the domestic situation. Zhou Yu, Bai Qi and these people are all his  He has serious troubles, and if he doesn't clean them up, he won't have the energy to fight with us, but if Sanchuan County is delayed and we are dragged here, the situation will be difficult to predict," Qu Wandao said.  As soon as the curtain was lifted, a deputy general strode in, "General, I just received the news that the Battle of Xianyang is over. Lu Chao invaded Xianyang. Xuanyi Guards escaped from Xianyang City and were trapped in Changfeng County. Lu Chao  Chao made Ying Zhun, the posthumous son of the deceased eldest prince of Qin, the king, and became the minister of power. " "Where did Ying Zhun come from?" Qu Wan was surprised, "Why did Lu Chao win so quickly?  Xianyang?" The deputy general shook his head, "What we have received now is only preliminary news. It seems that Zhou Yu and Xuanyiwei had a conflict, and there was internal strife in Xianyang City. This led to the Lu Army taking advantage of the situation and taking Xianyang.  "How is Zhou Yu now? Is he alive or dead?" "Zhou Yu is still alive, and his main force has not been damaged much. Now he is leading his troops to Sanchuan County day and night.  General, we don't have much time. If Zhou Yu rushes back, we will face tens of thousands of elite Qin troops." The deputy general looked a little stern.  Qu Wan stood up and said, "I can't wait anymore, I can't wait any longer. Give me the order to attack the city, fight in turns, and attack Sanchuan County without stopping for a moment. We must capture it before Zhou Yu comes back."  "The battle for Sanchuan County, which had been silent for less than half a day, started again, and this time, Tan Wei clearly felt the difference in the strength of his opponent. The Chu army launched an attack on Sanchuan County like a madman, and they even risked it.  There is a risk of accidental damage from explosive packages launched by one's own side.  The opponent's long-range suppression had just ended, and the Chu army had already begun to climb the city wall, and the fastest ones had already emerged from the city wall.  Although he didn't know what kind of stimulus made Qu Wan go crazy, Tan Wei knew very well that Sanchuan County had reached its most critical moment. If he could survive this wave, Sanchuan County might be able to survive. If he couldn't, everything would be in jeopardy.  All rest.  "Kill, kill the Nanmanzi and go down to the city." Tan Wei waved his sword and was the first to rush forward.  (To be continued.)
