Chapter 1418: Han Banner World (108) Iron Wall (1)

The vanguard of the Chu army arrived at Danfeng County, which was only ten miles away from Wuguan. When Wuguan was lost, some of the remaining troops of Zhang Gan's troops fled here. The Han army did not know why for some reason, and did not send troops to attack this county town without much defensive ability. Please search for the most comprehensive! The fastest updated

Qu Wanyi arrived here at the first time, and with the arrival of the Chu army's large army, the scouts of the Han army immediately appeared around Danfeng County, and the most unscrupulous guy appeared under the head of Danfeng City in an open manner.

The situation was so bad that Qu Wan was already very careful. During this retreat, he almost racked his brains, but during the retreat, he still lost nearly 20,000 infantry and tens of thousands of cavalry. All of this was caused by the Han cavalry that had been You Ge on both sides of the Chu army.

The Chu army was originally very morale, and the idea of ​​returning to the motherland to fight against the tyrants made the soldiers maintain high fighting spirit while returning home. However, the losses of two and three hit the soldiers' morale. This road to returning home seemed not so easy to walk.

Of course, it is very difficult to leave. Qu Wan had already learned the latest information of the Han army in Wuguan. The troops of the First Army of the Han Army's Youth Guards Army arrived at Wuguan before him. Now the guarding force of the Han army in Wuguan has reached 20,000. For a city like Wuguan, 20,000 people is the limit and the most guards can accommodate. This is extremely bad news for the Chu army. Qu Wan knew very well that even though he had an army that was twice the same as the other side, under the terrain of Wuguan, the advantage of the large number of people could not be exerted. Moreover, he was facing the First Army of the Young Guards, the Han army's most elite, which was famous.

The reputation of the army is made rather than blown up. Under the reputation, there will never be any empty scholars. Faced with such an opponent guarding Wuguan, Qu Wan was insincere from the bottom of his heart.

Scouts were sent out one after another. Now he needed to understand the defensive situation of the entire Wuguan. He was anxious and could not eat hot tofu. The more anxious he was, he had to be more careful in his actions.

As more and more information gathered on his desk, the enemy's defense system on the sand table in front of him took shape little by little, Qu Wan's heart became heavier.

This is a defensive system that he has never seen before, which is completely inconsistent with the experience he has accumulated over decades of military service. It is obvious that this defensive position is designed based on the style of the Han army. The most important part here is definitely the artillery that can cause huge damage at a long distance.

"General, the Han army built the entire defensive system with Wuguan and Shaoxi Mountain as the fulcrum. The defensive position on the front line is several miles away from Wuguan, and the frontier position is prominent. We have no way of knowing what is behind the frontier position, but one thing is certain is that if we want to take Wuguan, we must first take Shaoxi Mountain. According to the remaining soldiers of Zhang Gan's army, the reason why Wuguan was lost was because the Han army first took Shaoxi Mountain. Then we set up artillery on the mountain. When we bombard the city from a high point, the first thing we destroyed was the long-range weapons in the city, and then bombarded the defenders at the top of the city, making it impossible for us to organize effective defense above the city. Therefore, the focus of our first step of attack is to take down Shaoxi Mountain. As long as we can take down Shaoxi Mountain, we can imitate our opponent's previous success. Although we do not have artillery, a large trencher can also throw ** bags into the city. It can still cause huge damage." Forward general Wang Shubo pointed at the sand table in front and said.

"The Han army won Wu Pass with this move. We must know that the focus of our attack is Shaoxishan. Now they must be the most strict defense where they are. Everyone knows this. The battle of Shaoxishan will be a bloody battle." Qu Wan sighed.

"This is impossible." Wang Shubo said: "General, my army is willing to be the vanguard. Even if all the blood is shed, we will take down Shaoxishan. Otherwise, we will not be able to take down Wuguan. Moreover, the sooner the attack is launched, the better. Do you know that I went to the front line these two days and looked at it. Everything I saw made me unable to believe my eyes."

"What did you see?" Qu Wan was shocked.

"The Han army is still building defense lines. They built dense fortresses. The speed of construction was shocking. They made wooden boards into molds, poured some things into them, and inserted iron rods into them. I didn't care much at first, but on the third day, when I went there again, they had already demolished the wooden boards outside. What I saw was a gray fortress, and they had even started to install the Shenji Crossbow on it. In just a few days, there were more than a dozen such fortresses on their front line."

Qu Wan said in a low voice: "I know that in Han Dynasty, this kind of thing is built with reinforced concrete structures. It is built with extremely fast speed and is strong and durable. In fact, our Dachu now has mastered this technology. This kind of reinforced concrete structures is difficult to destroy."

Wang Shubo was silent for a moment: "General, we must launch an attack as fast as possible. Every day we dragged on, the enemy's defense will be stronger. The domestic situation is dangerous and we urgently need to return to our country, and our logistics cannot support us to fight the enemy for a long time here."

"Wu Pass was taken away, and a large amount of our food and weapons fell into the hands of the enemy. Fortunately, some of the Wu Pass had been sent out before, and the ones we brought from Sanchuan County can support the army's dosage for about half a month." Qu Wandao.

"In other words, half a month, we must take down Wu Pass." Wang Shubo took a deep breath: "General, I ask for an order to launch an attack on the enemy immediately, without waiting for Bai Xizhong and Huang Zhong."

"Huang Zhong suffered serious losses, and for this matter, he had a very unhappy relationship with Bai Xizhong. For the time being, he could not count on them." Qu Wan sighed.

"No wonder about this matter in Bai Xizhong. Speaking of which, Huang Zhong was negligent in preventing it. The Hun Cavalry Division must have gone through the gap in his defense zone and first rushed into Bai Xizhong's troops. After attacking Bai Xizhong's troops, he attracted two other cavalry to rescue him, and then departed to Huang Zhong's rear. But how did the Han cavalry do this?" Wang Shubo sighed. "This is not only Huang Zhong cannot understand, but also I am the last general, and I feel it is incredible!"

"The Han cavalry is the most tenacious. Ten years ago, when Yan State attacked the Donghu battle, Gao Yuan was trapped. He Lanxiong did not sleep for several days and nights. After defeating a Donghu army, he quickly returned to the army and rushed to the camp, attacked Gao Yuan inside and outside, defeating the Donghu people. This allowed Gao Yuan to escape from Jingyuan into the grassland and then return to Jishi City. If it weren't for this battle, Gao Yuan would have been destroyed by the Donghu people long ago." Qu Wan sighed slightly: "No one can be stronger than the Han cavalry in the long distance.

Even more frustratingly, the cavalry division of Donghu and Xiongnu cavalry division are all one person, two horses or even three horses. If they change horses and don’t replace people, they can indeed intersperse and detour in the shortest time. This is my negligence. After many years, the Han army has never shown this ability again, and almost everyone has forgotten it. After the two of them arrive at Danfeng, I will mediate them. The enemy is in front of us. If we cannot work together, wouldn’t we be defeated before the battle?”

Wang Shubo nodded slightly. In this situation, the general can only take the responsibility first. Qu Wan came forward to take the responsibility. Bai Xizhong and Huang Zhongbing would not blame each other and cause unstable morale to the army.

"General, Fan Kui, deputy general of Wuguan, asked for a meeting." An officer strode from outside.

"Fan Kui, is he still alive?" Qu Wan stood up suddenly.

"He, he was escorted by a team of Han soldiers." The officer hesitated and said.

Being escorted by the Han army means that Fan Kui has been captured by the Han army. Wang Shubo’s face showed anger, and his morale is already depressed. The Han army escorted Fan Kui here in such a swagger, which is another blow.

"This coward." Wang Shubo said angrily: "What are you keeping him for? Kill him completely!"

Qu Wan shook his head. Fan Kui himself had nothing, but even he was a little afraid of the power behind this man: "It has nothing to do with killing or not killing. It's better for him to come back. We just happened to learn about the situation in Wuguan from him."

Fan Kui entered the room with a little trembling body. Yang Dasha wrote a letter for him to send it. He was extremely reluctant to come. If he killed Zhang Gan and surrendered, he would not be able to survive. You must know that if someone dared to kill him in the Chu army, Qu Wan would definitely be one of them. If you don’t know, unless you don’t do it yourself, the matter of killing someone and surrendering is not a secret in Wuguan. If it is spread to Qu Wan’s ears, it would be over.

"General!" Seeing Qu Wan, Fan Kui's legs became 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 asked him to ask him to get up. The mistake of Wuguan is because the Han army is too cunning. It is beyond my expectations that you can resist for such a long time. It would be great if you can come back alive. Thank you for your hard work. Come and see General Fan."

"Thank you, General!" Fan Kui felt relieved as he listened to Qu Wan's gentle words.

"You have come back from Wuguan, and you should have a general understanding of the current situation in Wuguan, right?" Qu Wan asked.

"Yes, understand, understand." Fan Kui nodded repeatedly. Not only did he understand. He took the surrendered Chu army to participate in the construction of fortifications. The Han army seemed to have no eschewed him at all. It was not until the final deployment of troops to defend, that the Chu people were allowed to leave. (To be continued.)
