Chapter 310: The Battle of Zitong Water (2)
Just when Chang Yuchun was dispatching troops, Wang Feng was in the Qin army camp, and the Qin army generals below, Sima Gong, tied up his right arm directly. In the battle today, he was injured by Huang Mu. I believe he could not take action in a short time, which means that the Qin army lost another combat power.
"Today you all see Deng Jun's strength, let's talk about it." Wang Feng said expressionlessly.
Geng Yue said: "The Deng army is very strong, even stronger than we had previously estimated. Deng army is full of powerful generals. I heard that in the battle of Deng Wei Changshe, the Deng army gathered in the battle of Deng Wei, and the Wei army could not stop it at all. Therefore, if we talk about generals, our army is far inferior to Deng army. If we want to win, we must slowly take it."
"Slowly, but the actual situation does not allow us to slowly plan." After hearing Geng Yue's words, Wang Feng sighed. Of course, he knew that he could not be impatient when fighting a strong army like Deng's army, but this time he went south to Shu, Qin had given all his money and food. Not long after Qin had just entered Guanzhong, the money and food needed for this trip south were cut out from the batch of food he had exchanged with war horses and Deng's country.
Everyone sighed when they heard Wang Feng's words. It was very uncomfortable to be unable to fight against the Deng army. The Qin army was indeed very capable, but they could not stand the poverty of Qin. The broken place in Xiliang could not support Qin's struggle for the world. Guanzhong was OK, but the problem was that after fighting with the Han Kingdom for several years, Guanzhong was basically destroyed. After a few years of sorting out, they could not recover. Seeing that Deng and Zhao had basically completed their strategic layout, and Qin was still worried about the issue of food. This was why Qin insisted on going south to Bashu at this time, captured Bashu and obtained a grain base to transport blood to the world.
I thought it would be easy for the Qin army to take Bashu with the help of Meng Chengting, but who would have thought that the Deng army would make a fuss? I didn't expect that the Shu army was not very strong, but when it resisted, it was so tenacious that it blocked the Qin army in Fucheng for a month, allowing them to hold on until the Deng army came to aid.
If Bashu cannot be seized this time, then Bashu will definitely fall into the hands of Deng. Then, if Qin wants to seize the grain base in the future, he can only compete for territory with Zhao.
"From today on, I will send someone to watch Deng Jun's every move. As long as Deng Jun takes action, I will tell me immediately." Wang Feng sighed and said, "There is no good idea for the time being, so I can only wait and see what the changes have changed.
In this way, the Deng and Qin armies were stalemate in the Zitongshui area. There was no major move from the end of March to early September in the 20th year of Qianyuan. However, the two armies still made some attempts, but they all returned in vain. At this time, the Qin army's logistics began to have problems.
The situation could not be opened for a long time. Not only did the Qin army be anxious, but even the prince of Shu, Meng Chengyou, who was far away in Chengdu, was very anxious. No, he is no longer the prince of Shu. The reason is that all the changes that happened in Shu were finally hidden from the old Shu king who was ill in bed. After learning that Meng Chengting treason and led the Qin army into Shu, the old Shu king was furious and died directly. With the support of a number of ministers, Meng Chengyou succeeded to the throne of Shu king.
When the 100,000 Deng's army entered Shu, all the food, grass and supplies needed to be borne by Shu. Although these foods were nothing to Shu, the Deng army had been stalemate with the Qin army since entering Shu. After several months, there was no progress at all. Meng Chengyou was not very happy, and even doubted whether the Deng army was not working hard, so he sent someone to Fucheng to see Jiang Huang and asked him to urge Deng's army.
"Hmph! What does this Jiang Huang mean? Did he send you to teach me how to use troops?" In the Deng army's central tent, Chang Yuchun cursed at Jiang Huang in front of the messenger sent by Jiang Huang.
The messenger was trembling below, and he didn't dare to breathe for a moment, for fear that Chang Yuchun would cut him off the sacrificial flag in anger.
After Chang Yuchun got angry, he slowly calmed down and said to the messenger: "You go back and tell Jiang Huang that I don't need him to teach me the general's military. If he has the ability, then ask him to take his Shu army with his subordinates to fight against the Qin army, otherwise I will stay in Fucheng obediently."
"Yes, yes!" The messenger said yes in a cold sweat, and then left.
After the messenger left, Fa Zheng said to Chang Yuchun: "Why should the general be angry? In fact, Jiang Huang and the King of Shu are so anxious. After all, the food, weed and supplies of our 100,000 troops are not a small number. It's okay for a short time. If it's a long time, even the rich Shu Kingdom will not be able to bear it."
"I don't know, but I just don't know why. I just want to lose my temper and can't control it. After the French military advisor goes on, he will write a letter to Jiang Huang in the name of him to avoid Jiang Huang's misunderstanding. Now the Qin army has not retreated yet, and it is not the time to turn against Shu."
"Here!" Fa Zheng responded first, and then said, "But General, our army still needs to speed up. The ghost place in Bashu is so hot as soon as the summer comes. If this continues, the soldiers will be unable to hold on."
After June, Bashu was very hot and could not bear it at all. Many people in the Deng army had heatstroke, so it would not work if they continued like this. Fortunately, the Deng army was not in good condition, and the Qin army was also half a dozen, and no one was better than anyone else.
Thinking of this, Chang Yuchun sighed and said, "I also know that I originally thought that the Qin army's logistics would not last long, but who would have thought that Wang Feng could tolerate it so much?"
"General!" At this time, Zhang Liao walked in from outside and said, "General, there is a Qin army outside coming to issue a letter of war to our army."
"Oh? Take it and take a look!" Chang Yuchun took the war letter from Zhang Liao, opened it and saw it. It said that Wang Feng wanted to fight Deng Jun in three days.
After reading it, Chang Yuchun said happily: "It seems that Wang Feng can't hold on. He finally offers me a decisive battle in three days. But if you, Wang Feng, want to have a decisive battle, I will accompany you? General Zhang, you send someone to the Qin army camp and tell Wang Feng that I don't agree to the decisive battle. At the same time, I will send an order to strengthen my defense and be ready to deal with the Qin army's offensive at any time."
"Here!" Zhang Liao replied.
After more than two months of confrontation, the Qin army's logistics was gradually unable to hold on. Even the King of Qin sent people to urge Wang Feng to resolve the war in Bashu as quickly as possible. You should know that the Qin army's food and grass were transported from Hanzhong, and the Hanzhong food was transported from Chang'an, Guanzhong. Along the way, it was good that half of the food was transported to Zitong, and this half of the food was enough for the 120,000 Qin army to eat for ten days and half months. Don't forget that the Qin army's food still needs to be supplied to 20,000 people under Meng Chengting, which makes it even more pale.
So after repeated consideration, Wang Feng decided to fight a decisive battle with Deng Jun, but the result was destined to disappoint Wang Feng. Chang Yuchun did not fight with him, but continued to strengthen his defense, and made a clear attitude that it was impossible to fight a decisive battle. If you have the ability, you can fight. Anyway, you are not the one who is anxious now, which makes Wang Feng feel very uncomfortable.
In the Qin army's central tent, Wang Feng looked at Chang Yuchun's reply in his hand, his face looked ugly, and said, "This Chang Yuchun is clearly trying to waste our army to death."
"Then General Wang, what should we do?" asked the Qin general Bai Chen. Bai Chen was Bai Qi's brother, but it was obvious that he did not have Bai Qi's ability.
"Hmph!" Wang Feng snorted coldly and said, "Chang Yuchun's wishful thinking is very good, but I will not give him the chance to waste our army to death. I will send orders to gather troops and prepare to attack the Deng army camp. At the same time, I will tell the soldiers that if we don't defeat the Deng army, we will not be able to return to Guanzhong. If we want to reunite with our family, we will fight to the death. And tell them that as long as we take Chengdu with me, we will not seal the sword for three days!"
The Qin army started in Xiliang and dealt with Hu people all year round. They were more or less infected with some of the Hu people's habits, so it is not surprising that Wang Feng would say such words as not sealing a knife for three days.
"Here!" Bai Chen replied.
