    The leading troops of the Chu army arrived in Danfeng County, which was only ten miles away from Wuguan. When Wuguan was lost, some of the remnants of Zhang Gan's army fled here, but the Han army did not know why and did not  No troops were sent to attack this county which did not have much defensive capabilities.  Please search for the most complete view!  The fastest update Qu Wan also rushed here as soon as possible, and with the arrival of the large Chu army, Han army scouts also immediately appeared around Danfeng County. The most unscrupulous guy actually appeared in a majestic manner.  Under the head of Danfeng City.  The situation has become extremely bad, and Qu Wan has been very careful. He almost racked his brains for this retreat, but he still lost nearly 20,000 infantry and tens of thousands of cavalry during the retreat, and all of this  It was caused by the Han cavalry who had been wandering on both sides of the Chu army.  The morale of the Chu army was very high. The thought of returning to the motherland to fight against the tyrants made the soldiers feel eager to return and maintain a high fighting spirit. However, the successive losses dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers. This  The road back home doesn't seem so easy.  Of course, it was extremely difficult to leave. Qu Wan had already learned the latest information about the Han Army in Wuguan. The troops of the First Army of the Han Army's Young Guards Corps arrived at Wuguan ahead of him. Now the guard strength of the Han Army in Wuguan has reached  For a city like Wuguan, 20,000 people is already the limit and the most guards it can accommodate.  This was extremely bad news for the Chu army. Qu Wan knew very well that even though he had an army ** times larger than the opponent's, in the terrain like Wuguan, the advantage of large numbers could not be used at all.  Moreover, what he was facing was the First Army of the Young Guards, the most elite army of the Han army, which could be said to be famous.  The reputation of the army is built rather than blown out. Under such a great reputation, there will never be any false soldiers.  Facing Wuguan guarded by such an opponent, Qu Wan felt that he had no confidence in his heart.  Teams of scouts have been sent out one after another. Now he needs to understand the defensive situation of the entire Wuguan. He can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The more anxious he is, the more careful he has to be in his actions.  As more and more information comes to his desk.  The enemy's defense system on the sand table in front of him was gradually taking shape in front of him, but Qu Wan's heart became increasingly heavy.  This is a defense system that he has never seen before, and it is completely inconsistent with the experience he has accumulated in decades of military service, obviously.  This defensive position was designed based on the Han army's fighting style.  The most important part here is definitely the artillery that can cause huge damage at long distances.  "General, the Han army has built an entire defensive system with Wuguan and Shaoxi Mountain as the fulcrum. The frontline defensive position is several miles away from Wuguan, and the forward position is prominent. We have no idea what is behind the forward position.  We learned that, but one thing is certain, if we want to capture Wuguan, we must first capture Shaoxi Mountain. According to the remaining soldiers of Zhang Gan¡¯s command, the reason why Wuguan was lost was because of the Han Dynasty.  The army first captured Shaoxi Mountain, then set up artillery on the mountain and bombarded the city from above. The first thing they destroyed was the long-range weapons in the city, and then they bombarded the defenders at the top of the city, making it impossible to organize an effective attack on the city.  Defense. Therefore, the focus of our first offensive is to capture Shaoxi Mountain. As long as we can capture Shaoxi Mountain, we can imitate our opponent's previous success. Although we do not have artillery, we can also use large trebuchets.  Throwing the gun bag into the city can still cause huge damage," said forward general Wang Shubo, pointing to the sand table in front.  "The Han army relied on this move to take Wuguan. They must know that the focus of our attack is also Shaoxi Mountain. Now their defense must be the tightest wherever they are. Everyone knows this. So Shaoxi Mountain's battle will be  It will be a bloody battle." Qu Wan sighed.  "This is something that can't be helped." Wang Shubo said: "General, our troops are willing to be the vanguard. Even if we shed all our blood, we must take down Shaoxi Mountain. Otherwise, we will not be able to take down Wuguan at all. And  The earlier the attack is launched, the better. You know, I have been to the front line for the past two days and what I have seen makes me unable to believe my eyes." "What did you see?" Qu Wan ate.  shock.  "The Han army was still building defense lines. They built dense fortresses at a shocking speed. They made molds out of wooden boards, poured some things into them, and inserted iron rods one after another. Originally, I  I didn¡¯t pay much attention to it, but when I went back on the third day, they had removed the wooden boards outside. What I saw was a gray fortress, and they had even started to install the divine machine crossbow on it. It only took a few days.  In a short time, there were more than a dozen such fortresses on their front line. "Qu Wan said in a low voice: "I know this thing. In the Han Dynasty, buildings with reinforced concrete structures were built using this technology, and the construction speed was extremely fast.  Fast, sturdy and durable, in fact we??Chu now also has mastered this technology.  This reinforced concrete structure is difficult to destroy.  " Wang Shubo was silent for a moment: "General, we must attack as quickly as possible. Every day we delay, the enemy's defense will become stronger.  The domestic situation is dangerous and we urgently need to return home, and our logistics cannot support us to fight the enemy here for a long time.  " " Wuguan was captured, and a large amount of our grain, grass, and weapons fell into the hands of the enemy. Fortunately, Wuguan had sent some of them out before. Plus what we brought out from Sanchuan County, it could support the army for about half a month.  " Qu Wandao. "That is to say, in half a month, we must take Wuguan.  Wang Shubo took a deep breath: "General, I request you to launch an attack on the enemy immediately, without waiting for Bai Xizhong and Huang Zhong."  " "Huang Zhong suffered serious losses, and because of this incident, he and Bai Xizhong were very unhappy. For the time being, they can't be counted on.  "Qu Wan sighed. "No wonder Bai Xizhong is to blame for this. Speaking of which, Huang Zhong neglected to take precautions. The Huns cavalry division must have passed through the gap in his defense area and rushed into Bai Xizhong's headquarters first. The attack on Bai Xizhong's headquarters attracted other troops.  After the two cavalry teams went to the rescue, they detoured back to Huang Zhong's rear. But how did the Han cavalry do this?  "Wang Shubo sighed. "Not only is Huang Zhong unable to understand this, but even I, the last general, find it unbelievable!  " "The cavalry of the Han army is the toughest. Ten years ago, during the battle of Yan State against the East Hu, Gaoyuan was trapped. It was He Lanxiong who stayed up for several days and nights. After defeating a Donghu army, he quickly returned to the camp and rushed to the camp.  In the middle, he and Gao Yuan attacked from inside and outside, and defeated the Donghu people. Only then did Gao Yuan escape from Jingyuan into the prairie, and then returned to Jishi City. If not for this battle, Gao Yuan would have been destroyed by the Donghu people long ago.  Qu Wan sighed slightly: "No one is more powerful than the Han cavalry in long-distance raids. What's more, the current Donghu Cavalry Division and the Xiongnu Cavalry Division have one man, two horses or even three horses."  , they changed horses without changing people, and could indeed achieve large-scale detours in the shortest time. This matter was my negligence. Over the years, the Han army has never demonstrated this ability again, which almost made everyone  People have forgotten.  After the two of them arrive in Danfeng, I will mediate for them. The enemy is facing us. If we cannot work together, we will be defeated before we fight.  " Wang Shubo nodded slightly. In this situation, the only way is for the general to shoulder the responsibility first. Qu Wan stepped forward to take the responsibility. Bai Xizhong and Huang Zhong will not blame each other and make the army unstable. "General,  Fan Kui, the deputy general of Wuguan, asked to see him.  "An officer strode in from outside. "Fan Kui, is he still alive?  "Qu Wan stood up immediately. "He, he was escorted over by a group of Han troops.  "The officer hesitated for a moment and said. "Being escorted by the Han army means that Fan Kui has been captured by the Han army. Wang Shubo's face showed an angry look. The morale of the army was already low at the moment. The Han army escorted Fan Kui here in such a arrogant manner.  It¡¯s another blow. ¡°This coward.  Wang Shubo said angrily: "Why are you leaving him here? Kill him!"  " Qu Wan shook his head. Fan Kui himself had nothing, but the power behind this man, even he, was a little afraid: "For a common man, it doesn't matter whether he kills him or not. Whether he comes back, we are just right.  Learn something about Wuguan from his mouth.  " Fan Kui entered the room with some trembling body. Yang Dasha wrote a letter for him to deliver. He was originally extremely reluctant to come. If Qu Wan knew about the fact that he killed Zhang Gan and surrendered, it would be terrible.  You must know that among the Chu army, if anyone dares to kill him, Qu Wan will definitely be one of them. If you don't want others to know, unless you do nothing, killing someone and surrendering is not a matter in Wuguan.  If the secret reaches Qu Wan¡¯s ears, it will be over. ¡°General!  "Seeing Qu Wan, Fan Kui's legs went weak and he knelt down directly. "The last general, the last general is guilty.  Qu Wan took a deep breath and suppressed the disgust in his heart: "General Fan, please rise. The loss of Wuguan was due to the Han army being too cunning. You can resist for so long, which is beyond my expectation."  Well, it would be great to come back alive. Thank you for your hard work.  Come, show me your seat to General Fan.  " "Thank you, General!  "Listening to Qu Wan's warm words of comfort, Fan Kui felt reassured. "You came back from Wuguan, you should have a general understanding of the current situation in Wuguan, right?  " Qu Wan asked. "Yes, I understand, I understand.  "Fan Kui nodded repeatedly. More than understanding, he himself took the surrendered Chu army and participated in the construction process of the fortifications. The Han army did not seem to avoid him at all. It was not until the final deployment of troops for defense that they were allowed to  These Chu people left. (To be continued.) p
