    Wang Shubo looked at Fan Kui's leaving back and shook his head in confusion: "How could he know so clearly?" In front of him and Qu Wan, there was a map of Wuguan's fortifications drawn with charcoal.  Black lines of different thicknesses, each representing a different fortification and defense scale.  Qu Wan snorted and sneered, "This can only explain one problem. Fan Kui was not what he said he would fight hard and he was captured due to exhaustion. He was probably surrendering to the Han army. So in Wuguan, he  Only with full freedom can it be possible to see this. " "But even so, it is impossible for the Han army to let him know the defense line in such detail. Yang Dasha is not really stupid." Wang Shubo shook his head.  Qu Wan picked up the unopened letter written to him by Yang Dasha on the table, "Whoever thinks Yang Dasha is really stupid should just wait and die. This is a letter of challenge he is giving me.  Believe it or not, in this letter, Yang Dasha will tell that what Fan Kui said is true. He just wants to tell me clearly. So what if you know it? " "  Psychological warfare? Is this too childish? We are not newbies, how can he influence us with just a few words?" Wang Shubo sneered.  Qu Wan glanced at Wang Shubo, tore open the envelope and put it in front of Wang Shubo.  "How are you going to fight? Don't find a new way or just fight as Fan Kui said?" Wang Shubo picked up the letter written by Yang Dasha. The handwriting was ugly, and each word was written in a huge size, but the meaning inside was  But it's true as Qu Wan said, that's what I did, if you have the guts, you can fight me.  "Wuguan is just such a battlefield. You can't change it even if you want to change it. If you want to win Wuguan, you have to win Shaoxi Mountain first. He knows that, and we also know that apart from hard attack, there is nothing better.  Method. But even if it is a hard attack, there are many ways to choose." Wang Shubo stood up.  "General, I won't let you down." On Shaoxi Mountain, Yang Dasha was observing the Chu army on the opposite side with a telescope. The third division led by Mei Hua was guarding Shaoxi Mountain now.  The third division took the lead in attacking Wuguan and successfully captured Wuguan within the stipulated time, but it also suffered losses. Although the loss of soldiers was not large, it continued on its way.  The battle and the construction of fortifications after the war made them extremely exhausted physically and mentally. Shaoxi Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Now Wuguan will inevitably face a desperate counterattack by the Chu army. Shaoxi Mountain seems to be the enemy  It was a must-win point, but because of the terrain, it was actually the easiest point.  "The Chu army is digging trenches!" Yang Dasha put down the telescope and turned to look at Mei Hua beside him. "There are also experts among the Chu army. I thought they would rush over like madmen. I didn't expect that they would still  Quite calm. Now Wu Ya is in trouble. "" Digging?" Mei Hua raised the telescope, observed it carefully for a while, and nodded, "It seems that the opponent is incomprehensible to our fierce firepower, and is ready to use digging.  The method of ditching is getting closer step by step. Although it is a clumsy method, it is a good method. It is a little slow, but it makes us very difficult!" "He is a good opponent" Yang Da smiled stupidly.  , "That's all." No wonder Yang Dasha is so confident.  The Han's inventions in weapons one after another have profoundly changed the war model on this continent. For example, resisting the impact of cavalry in a dense formation will become a tragedy in front of the Han army.  And the Chu army just proved this truth with a painful lesson.  And this was just a temporary move by the two cavalry. If it were a regular battle, the Han army would bombard them with artillery first. The denser the formation, the greater the casualties would be.  Just like Wuguan now, the name has not changed.  But the entire defense system has completely changed. The entire defense line, with dense fortresses as points, forms a circular defense circle. The criss-crossing trenches extend to the bottom of Wuguan, above the Wuguan city wall and beyond.  On Mount Xi, there are as many as hundreds of artillery deployed, covering the entire attack surface according to different ranges.  In order to be able to block Qu Wan's 200,000 elites within Wuguan, Gao Yuan also spent a lot of money.  But obviously, the generals of the Chu army were not idiots. When they knew the huge lethality of artillery, they also understood the limitations of artillery. In a very short period of time, Wang Shubo came up with a way to use long-range weapons.  The Chu army was unable to resist the Han army, so they could only avoid the enemy's strong points. They advanced by trench digging, which left the artillery with little remaining power. Even if it was covering fire, the effect achieved would be insignificant.  It would be great to get close to the Han army's position at the minimum cost. When the enemy's artillery is close to a certain extent, the enemy's artillery will no longer work. At that time, the battlefield process will still return to the familiar scene of the Chu army, that is  Leng Weapon's life-and-death fight was about exchanging lives for lives, and with the current strength of the Chu army, they undoubtedly had the advantage.  This is what Yang Dasha meant when he said Wu Ya was in trouble. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?With such an offensive scene, Wu Ya was very annoyed. The trench advancement made him know that he had already counted on a lot of artillery support. What he had to face was a face-to-face fight with the Chu army.  Wu Ya was not afraid of fighting a tough battle, but compared to the huge numerical advantage of the Chu army, the number of Han troops guarding Wuguan was really small. The Han army had two goals, one was to consume, prolong the time, and lose control of the overall situation of the Chu state.  At a certain time, the role of Qu Wan's army will disappear. Secondly, there will be a large number of casualties, making the Chu army afraid of Wuguan.  Now it seems that it is a bit difficult to kill a large number of Chu troops in front of your own position, so you must adopt the first strategy, consumption.  Wu Ya sent an engineer battalion and dug a trench horizontally about 300 meters away from his position. Compared with the Chu army's excavation progress, Wu Ya's engineer battalion was much more efficient. Each of them was equipped with  Armed with an engineering shovel and many other practical tools, in just half a day, a trench more than two meters deep lay in front of the position.  No matter which route the Chu army dug, they would eventually dig into this trench.  The trenches dug by the Chu army were shallow, but the trenches dug by the Han army were deep. If the Chu army wanted to continue to advance, this was an obstacle that they could not get around.  The Chu army also knew that the Han soldiers were digging trenches, but they did not know that this trench was much deeper than theirs. When night was about to fall, the Chu soldiers finally dug the trench.  After the silence, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded, and countless Chu troops rushed out of the trenches, jumped out of the trenches they dug, and launched an attack on Wu Ya's defense line.  After running for dozens of steps, a trench suddenly appeared in front of them. The trench was several meters wide, and the opposite side was higher, forming a steep slope in the opposite direction. The Chu soldiers who could not hold their feet could only jump forward desperately.  Then, the soldiers at the front fell on the slope and climbed up using their hands and feet, while those at the back were not so lucky. More people fell directly into the trench, and the depth of the trench was obviously beyond their expectations.  Unexpected.  It is easy to fall into a trench that is more than two meters deep, but difficult to climb up.  In the blink of an eye, the trench was filled with Chu soldiers, and behind them, more soldiers were unable to cross the ditch and could only stagnate. Above this distance, stagnation meant death.  On the Han army's defense line, the divine machine crossbows rang out, carrying the sound of wind and the horn of death, and fired rapidly at these Chu troops.  The shields were raised one after another. The wooden shields covered with iron sheets could hardly withstand the rapid fire of the divine machine crossbow. Amidst the sound of the shields constantly breaking, rows of Chu soldiers fell down screaming, and their bodies were intercepted.  In the trench.  In the chaos, behind the trench that the Chu army was trying to climb up, a group of Han soldiers suddenly jumped out of the shallow trench where they were lying. Before the engineers dug the deep trench in front, they dug another one in the rear.  Hundreds of Han soldiers were hiding in the small ditch with a slight disguise. At this moment, they rushed out, holding grenades in their hands. The grenade fuses were ignited and thrown into the deep ditch.  The sound of rumbling explosions kept ringing, and the screams in the trench continued.  The few soldiers who climbed up the ditch were also chopped back by Han soldiers with swords.  The Chu army¡¯s first attack had already ended before it was officially launched. Almost no Chu soldiers who fell in the ditch survived. Hundreds of casualties were caused, and the ditch was filled with blood.  The miserable howls of the soldiers who had not yet expired made the Chu army look pale when they returned to the starting point.  They were unable to save them, because as soon as they showed their heads, they would be fired upon by intensive crossbow arrows from the Han army's defense line. The two sides once again reached a stalemate amidst the screams of the soldiers in the ditch, listening to the screams one after another.  , from strong to weak, and gradually finally became unheard.  Wang Shubo spent hundreds of lives to understand the mystery of this ditch.  After nightfall, the second wave of attacks began. This time, the Chu army appeared in front of the trench holding bags of sand one by one. After throwing the soil bags in their hands into the trench, the Chu army immediately lay down and tried to  Shooting to avoid the dense rain of arrows from the opposite side, even though they were well prepared, some people still fell down after being hit by arrows. Many Chu soldiers fell into the ditch after being hit by arrows, and they became materials for filling up the ditch.  Half an hour later, the trench in front of Wu Ya's position was filled to almost the same level as the Chu army's trench. A large number of Chu troops finally advanced here along the trench they dug.  New Chu troops were added, and the trench was slowly dug forward again. By midnight, the trench was about a hundred steps away from the Han army's defense line.  It is no longer possible to dig anymore. At this distance, there are already Han soldiers with strong arms who can throw grenades over and cause damage to the Chu army.  Next, there will be a charge of blood and fire. Fortunately, the charge can be launched from this distance, and the Han army's artillery does not dare to fire.  The Chu army had to face only the officers and soldiers of the Han Army's Fourth Division in front of them.  (To be continued.)
