Chapter 723 This battle is not about conquering the army, but about conquering the country! Han Cang: Let’s go and fight, I’m in the trenches!
Wei Liao sighed softly: "We arrived in Licheng in a few days and rushed to help more than a thousand miles away."
"We didn't take any rest and went straight into a fierce battle, killing or capturing the Zhao army for one hundred and fifty thousand." One hundred and eighty people finally severely damaged the morale of the Zhao army and blocked the Zhao army east of Fukouxing."
"How brave Lord Chang'an is!"
A short battle report can reveal a lot. information.
On March 4, Zhao Jun attacked Licheng, which showed that Zhao Jun's blitz speed was faster than Qin's guess at the pre-war meeting.
However, Ying Chengyu led the vanguard troops to rush for reinforcements for more than a thousand miles at night, overwhelming the main force of the Zhao army.
Put an end to Zhao Jun's attempt to take advantage of distance to quickly capture Fukouxing!
It is no exaggeration to say that Ying Chengyu single-handedly rewrote the overall pattern of the battle between Qin and Zhao!
Wang Ben even said with emotion: "There are more than 81,000 men under the command of the Lord of Chang'an. After this battle, 55,995 people were killed or injured, and there are only 20,000 left under the Lord of Chang'an. Five thousand one hundred and five soldiers are worthy of fighting again.”
"Jun Chang'an, how magnificent you are!"
"This general is far inferior to me!"
More than 81,000 men went out to fight, and more than half of them died or were seriously injured!
This is definitely the heaviest battle loss among Ying Chengyu's previous expeditions.
Wang Bi, who was also a general, could fully imagine how tragic this battle was.
Most of the gains and prisoners obtained by the Qin army in this battle must have occurred in the post-war pursuit phase. The casualties between Qin and Zhao during the fierce confrontation phase were probably about the same!
But because they were both generals, Wang Ben couldn't figure it out.
How could Ying Chengyu keep this army from collapsing even after suffering such huge casualties!
You must know that even the main field regiment of Qin, composed of old Qin soldiers, can be said to be the elite of the elite if the casualty rate reaches 30% without being defeated.
But the main soldiers of Ying Cheng's vanguard army are not even elite. They are not even old Qin soldiers, but Shangdang soldiers.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Shangdang soldiers is not inferior to that of the old Qin soldiers, the Shangdang soldiers do not have the same affection for Da Qin as the old Qin soldiers did. Why should they follow Ying Chengyu and fight to the death?
Li Si spoke excitedly: "Although it will be difficult for Chang'an Lord to win this battle."
"However, the main force of our Qin army is about to join Chang'an Lord."
"Just lead the army. If we take the vanguard, Lord Chang'an will be able to defeat Zhao Jun and defeat Zhao's plan."
"When the main force of our army joins forces with Lord Chang'an, Lord Chang'an will surely win a complete victory!"
>
"I would like to congratulate the great king! I would like to congratulate the great Qin!"
After finishing speaking, Li Si winked at Wei Liao and Wang Ben.
Wei Liao and Wang Ben also came to their senses.
You can feel emotional anytime.
But now, the king is obviously worried about the situation of Lord Chang'an. It is what these ministers should do to clarify the situation of the war and share the worries for the king.
Wang Ben, Wei Liao and other courtiers hurriedly raised their hands: "My lord, congratulations to the king! Congratulations to the Qin Dynasty!"
However, Ying Zheng was not in the mood to listen to the congratulations of the ministers. He just looked at the second child in the bamboo tube seriously. Letter.
【Oh, the Sifang Heavenly Emperor, brother, you don’t know how difficult it is for me to win! 】
【Of course, my brother won a big victory ヾ(^Д^*)/】
[Hahaha, my brother actually fought against Li Mu and won! That's Li Mu! Although I used some external force, victory is victory, but I was so badly hurt that I let my brother get in the way first (ω`)]
[My brother originally hoped that a quick victory would be achieved so that the soldiers could return home to farm and save this year's harvest, but now it seems that this is actually a luxury. 】
【If my brother’s prediction is correct, Lord Zhao Wu’an may completely abandon the front-line battlefield in the Taihang Mountains and confront our army for a long time at Fukou, Dongxingkou and Zhangshui Great Wall. 】
【In this way, Zhao State only needs to cross a distance of two or three hundred miles at most to transport grain and grass into the army, but our Da Qin needs to cross more than a thousand or even thousands of miles, and also needs Food can only be transported to our army by crossing the Taihang Mountains. 】
【Zhao Wuanjun’s attack on our Great Qin is not an attack on the army, but an attack on the country! 】
【This matter is your responsibility! 】
[Don’t think about asking me to quickly destroy Li Mu’s troops. You know I don’t have the ability (just be confident)! 】
【Use the alienation strategy quickly, I am still waiting to take the soldiers home to farm! 】
This family letter is quite light and cheerful, Ying Chengyu laughs and teases as if he is not on the battlefield.
But Ying Zheng couldn’t laugh.
In Ying Zheng's opinion, more than half of the army was wiped out, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers were probably all injured. This battle was so tragic, how could Ying Chengxuan be as relaxed as he appeared.
And if his soldiers and horses suffered such heavy losses, Ying Chengyu would definitely charge in and kill them himself!
Perhaps just before writing this family letter, Ying Chengyu’s family soldiers had just pulled out the arrow for him and sutured the wound!
Ying Chengxuan's family letter only made Ying Zheng feel more and more afraid and vigilant of Ying Chengxuan towards Li Mu.
Except for the warnings from previous kings, Ying Zheng really couldn’t think of any reason why Ying Chengyu was so afraid of Li Mu!
As for Ying Chengyu’s request, Ying Zheng cannot be moved in the slightest.
In Ying Zheng's view, Ying Chengxuan's request was Ying Zheng's responsibility.
Even if it is not Ying Chengyu who is on the expedition, but Wang Jian, Meng Wu or any other general, Ying Zheng will do it!
Raising his head, Ying Zheng looked at the ministers with a cold and solemn gaze: "This battle was won miserably!"
"I, Lord Chang'an of Great Qin, led the vanguard in the battle, and we still won miserably!"< br>
“After the Zhao army was defeated, they did not regroup in Shexian County. Instead, they completely gave up Fukouxing and looked east for a favorable battlefield.”
"This shows that even if Zhao General Wu Anjun lost a battle, he still remained unwavering and was ready to continue fighting with our army!"
"What I need is not congratulations."
" It’s your advice to send more support to the soldiers on the front line.”
“Help me win the great Qin Dynasty!”
The ministers reduced their smiles and solemnly held their hands: “Wei. ! ”
Wei Liao took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can build B-type baggage trucks on a large scale."
"This will help Da Qin save more food and fodder for the war. It can also relieve some pressure on Lord Chang'an."
Yang Hu looked at Wang Ben in confusion.
What is a Type B baggage truck?
However, Wang Ben looked at Wei Liao in confusion.
What type B baggage truck?
He doesn’t know either!
Ying Zheng frowned slightly when he saw this: "If the Type B baggage truck is used in this battle, it will be difficult to keep it secret."
"After this battle, Zhao will definitely be able to obtain the structure of this truck and carry out Counterfeit. "The situation of Qin and Zhao will also change drastically!"
Wei Liao said seriously: "The war situation between Qin and Zhao has been greatly changed!"
"Although our Da Qin is short of food now, Da Qin now controls most of the world's territory, and it also has the Chang'an plow and golden juice to treat excrement. "
"As long as we rest and recuperate for a few years, food will no longer be our Great Qin's shortcoming, but our Great Qin's strength."
"In terms of grain, grass and baggage, even if Zhao Guo imitated the B-type baggage. Che, I, Da Qin, also have a huge advantage over Zhao."
"And Chang'an Jun actually won this battle."
"I believe that promoting An Jun to win at all costs is the most important goal of our Daqin now!"
"The rest should be considered in the future!"
Although now Da Qin is still very poor, but Da Qin's territory is no longer comparable to what it was a few years ago.
What Da Qin lacks is just time.
As long as this battle is won, it will greatly weaken the effective strength of the Zhao State, and even defeat the entire Zhao State like the Battle of Changping.
Qin will naturally be able to gain enough time for development.
Then, Qin will not be afraid to compete with any country for grain and grass logistics!
After Ying Zheng thought for a while, he finally made up his mind: "Then build a Type B baggage truck!"
"Instruct the Master Craftsman to immediately build a Type B baggage truck that is enough to transport food and grass to our army. Type B baggage trucks. "
"After the spring plowing, the commander-in-chief will continue to build more B-type baggage trucks."
"Since it's hard to keep this secret, let all the counties, counties and villages in Da Qin use this car!"
Wei Liao excitedly handed over his hands: "Wei!"
The discussion between Ying Zheng and Wei Liao was heated. , but Han Cang was a little anxious.
No, you say "food and grass" to the left and "food and grass" to your right, but it turns out that the administrative office in Su Nei knows nothing about it?
Is this appropriate?
Han Cang hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his hand: "I dare to ask your Majesty."
"What is a B-type baggage cart?"
Ying Zheng smiled: "Meng Shilang, take my B-type baggage cart. The large baggage cart came to Qilin Hall."
Soon, Meng Yi pushed a wheelbarrow into the hall.
In order to allow the wheelbarrow to enter the palace smoothly, several ministers even removed the threshold of the hall.
Han Cang looked back at the sound, and then his eyes were shocked: "This cart contains at least two stones of corn!"
"Shilang Meng actually pushed this cart into the palace with one person's strength."
"Okay. Divine power!”
I saw bamboo baskets stacked on the wheelbarrow, and each bamboo basket was filled with corn!
Han Cang, who has been dealing with grain all year round, could tell at a glance that there was at least two stones of corn piled on the cart.
Meng Yi used the support stick on the back of the wheelbarrow to park it in the middle of the Qilin Hall, and bowed his hands to Han Cang: "To Han Shangqing, I placed two and a half stones of corn on this cart."
"When pushing it to walk, if it is flat ground, even an ordinary adult will feel as light as holding a shield."
"It's just that you are too tired when going uphill, but you can stop and rest at any time."
Han Cang's eyes were stunned, and the ministers' pupils shrank, and they all looked at Meng Yi in disbelief.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
"This chariot can carry two and a half stones of grain, I believe it, but an ordinary adult can push this chariot as lightly as holding a shield? Absolutely impossible!"
However, just when the voice of doubt was about to erupt, Meng Yi smiled warmly: "This car was built by Lord Chang'an."
The doubts stopped abruptly.
Made by Changan Jun?
Oh.
That's okay.
Han Cang asked with burning eyes: "I wonder if I can give it a try?"
Meng Yi immediately looked at Ying Zheng, saw Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then took a step back: "Han Shangqing, please ! ”
Han Cang immediately ran to Meng Yi’s position, imitated Meng Yi’s actions just now, lifted the wheelbarrow, and then pushed it forward.
The wheelbarrow carrying corn moved forward slowly, but the horror and fire in Han Cang's eyes became even stronger.
"How can it be so easy? Such heavy corn! Two and a half stones of corn!"
"How can it be so easy!"
Han Cang pushed harder and harder, stopping suddenly and moving forward quickly. He even ran out of the Qilin Hall with a wheelbarrow and rushed down the horse path!
This made the other ministers anxious.
"Han Shangqing, don't leave!"
"Han Shangqing is an official in charge of millet management. I asked you to push it first, but how can you push this thing away!"
"Let me try it too!"
A group of courtiers gathered around Han Cang, and several Jiuqing even joined forces to snatch the handle of the wheelbarrow from Han Cang.
But Hancang did not snatch the wheelbarrow back. Instead, he stood sluggishly and thought seriously.
After a long time, Han Cang looked at Ying Zheng, his eyes were a little crazy and he whispered: "Your Majesty."
"Let's fight!"
"Controlling the civil servants will definitely support our army's continued conquest."
"Even..."
"Destroyed in one battle Zhao!”
Han Cang has been stingy all his life.
The trench is up!
