    Wang Changyong stood on a high ground, staring at Longshou County not far away, his eyes full of annoyance. It had been almost ten days since he attacked Longshou, but there was no progress.  He knew what General Lu Chaolu expected of him. To attack the Han State, he must defeat the Han State and defeat it so that the Han State would no longer be able to look westward for a long period of time. The main thing was on his way.  Although Xu Yahua's troops in the middle route had more troops at Hangu Pass, he faced the three reorganized armies of the Han Army's First Military Region and the complete defense network. It was difficult to break through, and Qu Wan's route  , too close to the Chu State, even if there is a breakthrough, I am afraid that it will immediately attract an attack from the Han army, and it will be difficult to cause too much damage to the Han State.  Only our own way can do this. Dayan County, Jishi County, and Liaoxi County are all the fundamental places of the Han Kingdom. If these places are destroyed, the Han Kingdom will inevitably be damaged. No ten  It will be impossible to catch your breath for years or even decades.  The current Qin State simply does not have the strength to occupy these places. All they want is to beat the Han State to pieces, and destroying it completely is enough.  King Wulie of Qin had already seen this when he was still alive, but that battle ended with Qin's defeat. Two generals, Li Xin and Wang Xiao, died in the battle, and an army of hundreds of thousands disappeared.  This is Qin's second attempt. The difference from the last time is that this time, the Han's main troops are thousands of miles away from here. Even if they have wings, they can't fly over. What's more, in Yingshui, in  At Hangu Pass, they also need more soldiers and horses, which is enough to make them busy.  If he succeeds this time, then Wang Changyong will surpass Li Xin and Wang Xiao back then, and will become another general of the Qin State, enough to be famous in history.  But now.  But he was blocked here.  Not only Longshou, Beiyu and Yaoqu also made no progress.  Han's Third Military Region did not have many troops.  Looking at the flag displayed by the opponent, it turned out to be Dayan County.  Militia reserves in two places in Jishi County.  The Qin people are no strangers to this militia reserve. In the last Qin-Han war, the Huns cavalry led by Gu Li, who suffered a heavy loss to the Qin people, were the Han militia reserve.  The militia reserve force of the Han State is similar to the Qin State's nationwide army. The difference is that these reserve forces of the Han State train during the slack period.  The Han government paid salaries, which was simply impossible in Qin. This made the two sides really different in terms of the combat effectiveness of their reserve forces.  The Han people allowed the common people to possess weapons, and a large number of weapons that had been eliminated from the army were sold to the common people at very low prices. Every household of the Han people had weapons, including bows and crossbows. This was once thought by the Qin people to cause great chaos in the country.  But to their disappointment, Han was peaceful.  Nothing happened. The people were much better behaved than the people of Qin Chu, but it was Qin Chu.  In recent years, no matter how strict the control is, riots have occurred from time to time, especially in Qin State, where rioters have become a climate.  But no matter how strong the reserve force is, he is still a reserve force!  What makes Wang Changyong extremely puzzled is why the reserve force can withstand its own attack in such a head-to-head offensive and defensive battle.  The snow is heavy and the wind is strong, which makes the attack more difficult, but God is fair to both sides.  The Qin army feels uncomfortable, and the other party will never feel uncomfortable either.  Moreover, Wang Changyong believed that he had the endurance of the elite Qin army.  The reservists on the opposite side were by no means comparable to the bitterly cold battle. To his surprise, it was his subordinates who were the first to be unable to withstand it.  In recent days, he had to weaken his offensive in order to send more people out to look for firewood. It was not an easy task to find something to burn on the prairie on a snowy day.  "If we don't capture Longshou and other places, we will freeze to death on the prairie." General Wang Zhijun looked sad, "General Wang, the enemy has logistical supplies behind them, but our logistical supplies are too far away to keep up.  Our consumption. We should only fight quickly!" "The opponent's combat effectiveness is beyond our expectations. I very much doubt that they are not reserve forces at all, but regular troops, and their tactics are always familiar to me.  The feeling is different from the Han army's fighting style!" Another general Yue Peng looked at Wang Changyong in confusion: "The trainers of the Han army's reserve forces are all active or retired officers of the Han army. Their fighting methods should be the same as those of the Han army.  The main force of the Han army is from the same origin, but why do these enemies in front of us not look like the Han army, but look like our Qin army's tactics? " "What I'm worried about is not this, but where are He Lanxiong and Zhao Xilie's troops in the Third Military Region?  , if all we have in front of us are the reserves of the Han army, then where is the main force of the Third Military Region? General Wang, in the Third Military Region, He Lanxiong has a cavalry of 5,000 people. When Zhao Xilie came, he also brought a cavalry with him.  With more than 10,000 soldiers, where will this army go? I'm worried that they will try to cut off our supply line, and we will be in big trouble." Wang Zhijun reminded Wang Changyong.  "You let go of this"Well, I am also a leader of veteran soldiers. How could I not pay attention to this? Gou Xin and his troops are doing just this. Under such weather, they want to make a roundabout way around us to attack us.  How is it possible that they have no supply line? Can they get around it in less than ten days and a half?  Where is Gou Xin with his five thousand cavalry? Waiting for him to get around with all his time and effort, is our opponent just waiting for work?  I guess He Lanxiong's main force is still hidden in the rear. He wants to use these reserves to grind against us and delay us. When our logistics and physical strength are exhausted, he will then send out his main force to catch us off guard!  "Wang Changyong sneered. Yue Peng spread his hands: "But the current reality is that we are walking into the trap he set step by step.  Our morale, physical strength, and logistics are being depleted. Now I'm afraid He Lanxiong is recharging his energy.  General, what should we do?  Wang Changyong knocked on the table, "I underestimated the enemy, but what Yue Peng just said is indeed very strange. Yue Peng, think of a way to catch a few alive. I want to understand this."  "    "clear.  " "Zhijun, your opponent's performance is the weakest in Yaoqu, your main attack. I will give you more explosives and grenades. Don't be stingy with these things. As long as you win, you have everything. If you lose, you have nothing.  .  "Wang Changyong said. "The general will understand that he will definitely defeat Yaoqu regardless of casualties.  "Wang Zhijun nodded vigorously: "We can't compete with our opponents for time, what we need is time.  " Yaoqu is defended by two real militia reserves from Jishi County and Dayan County. Two reserves of 5,000 people guard Yaoqu. The general commander is the provost of the Staff Department of Jishicheng Military University and two deputies.  Two instructors from the command department of the military university will serve respectively. These two instructors are meritorious generals who have repeatedly made military exploits on the battlefield and have extremely rich actual combat experience. "By now, it is estimated that the Qin Army has finally tested us.  It's the weakest here.  "The former provost and current commander-in-chief Zhao Youguo looked at his two colleagues with a smile, "The combat effectiveness of the reserve force is indeed not a little bit worse than that of the regular army. Next, they will definitely increase their attacks on us.  , now is the tenth day, Commander Helan should have almost arrived at the scheduled position, so we have to hold on for at least one to two days before the enemy will react. Are you confident?  " Both deputies laughed, "Brother Zhao, this heavy snow is our biggest help. The cold weather makes our city wall stronger. After the last battle, I have ordered everyone to renovate the city wall with snow.  It was built three feet high and poured with water. Overnight, it became a solid ice wall, definitely not inferior to the city wall made of cement. When those Qin people came to attack again with ladders, they would suddenly find that, oh  Why is my ladder short?  Hahaha, the siege vehicle will also be much shorter. When the siege vehicle hits the city wall, the first thing it encounters is the countless solid ice blocks in front of the city wall.  Our combat effectiveness is a little weaker, but the firepower makes up for it, which is enough to make our opponents look at the city and sigh.  "Zhou Hao, who came down from the Donghu battlefield, laughed and said that he has rich experience in using ice and snow to fight. "In terms of artillery, we have sufficient ammunition, but the quality of the gunners is much worse. After all,  They have basically never fired any artillery. If they can operate it, it is considered good. To kill a large number of enemies, I am afraid they will have to rely on crossbows, grenades and close combat to kill the enemy.  "Another commander Qian Minyi said. "The artillery can only be allowed to be used freely. Even if it is blinded, it can be covered a little, but the Han people need weapons but never rely on them, even if they are face to face.  Even if we fight hard, we will not lose to anyone. In the next day or two, we will face the most fierce challenge.  Let us face him together.  "Zhao Youguo said boldly. "Wang Jian sent someone to ask if we need reinforcements?  How do we answer them.  "Qian Minyi asked. "No, they are the main force in the next battle. They need to accumulate strength and Commander Helan to complete the gathering and annihilation of Wang Changyong's men. We can withstand this battle now.  " Zhao Youguo said. "As Zhao Youguo expected, from the next day, the Qin army attacking Yaoqu suddenly increased its offensive. Wang Zhijun fulfilled his promise, regardless of the cost or casualties. From the beginning, the Qin army  They rushed forward despite the bombardment of explosive cannons thrown by their own throwing machines. The ladders were shortened, some of them were cut off and tied to others. They even used a large amount of explosives to directly carry out blasting operations in an attempt to directly collapse the city wall.  Because Zhou Hao thickened the city wall with ice and snow, the violent explosions peeled off the ice layer by layer, making the city wall shaky, but it still stood proudly in front of the Qin people. The casualties on both sides were infuriating.  The speed of surprise is rising rapidly (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net.
