I’m The King

Qu Wan in Kangping City is now very sure in his heart. The confrontation with the Han Army in the first half of the year has given him a deeper understanding of the Han Army. In the field, the combat effectiveness of the Han Army is indeed unparalleled in the world, with super individual quality. Superb tactical literacy, strict tactical discipline, and a fighting style that is not afraid of death, such an army, whoever encounters them, will not have any good fruits. The entire army of more than 20,000 troops in Bianyang was destroyed by the Han army. In his hands, Qu Wan no longer feels suffocated, because in the past six months, he has had no less than dozens of encounters with the Han army, but in the field, he has never won, and occasionally he can draw a tie. Unbelievable victory.

But the Han army also has their weaknesses, that is, they are not proficient in attacking fortified battles, or their generals lack more methods for attacking fortified battles. What makes Qu Wan even more happy is that the other party seems to be very scrupulous about the excessive casualties of soldiers. It is not a bad thing to care for the lives of soldiers, but it is too cherished, and you dare not fight with your lives when you should sacrifice. That is a big problem. "Pig

Reminiscent of the high military expenditures of the Han army and the post-war pensions, it seems that after the war, it seems to have some experience.The Han army's such pensions are indeed a heavy burden, or because of the pressure from all aspects, the Han army generals will be frustrated once the attack , Most of them will retreat, which is one of the reasons Kangping City has persisted until now.

The Han army was strong, and Chu was not ready to fight a full-scale war with Han in the early stage. At the beginning, King Chu Huai just took advantage of the mentality and started the attack on Han with the Qin army. , But no one can think of it. In just a few months, the form has reversed.I originally thought that the fruit would be stable. Now that I fly, I still get angry and burn my body, and I can't stop it.

The people of Qin were defeated, Li Xin, Wang Xiao and other generals were defeated one after another. The Wei State they finally defeated was also handed over to the Han Dynasty, and Zhao State was also divided into two in the contest between the two great powers. Not a country. As for the three counties of Han and Di, which were given to Chu by the Qin people, they have long been in the bag of the Han army.

Whenever he thinks of this, Qu Wan has the idea of ​​stealing the chicken without losing the rice.

King Chuhuai didn't want to fight a full-scale war with Han, but Han was pressing hard.Under such a big environment, King Chuhuai could only pinch his nose and start a national mobilization.

The Kingdom of Chu, one of the superpowers of the world, once the nationwide mobilization begins, the potential for war will naturally be great. Under the tactics of the first assistant Huang Xie and the emperor, with the city of Kangping as the center, the people of Chu have already gathered. With nearly one hundred thousand troops, the chain-type flexible defense in the weight plan was completed.

First defend firmly, wait for the opportunity to counterattack, this is the idea of ​​yielding. The Chu army has not fought in too many years. Their soldiers need to be tempered. Thinking about it, if Kangping City can withstand the Han army for a year, then, The Chu army above this line of defense will become the second strong division of the Chu army after the Qin Chu border.

Qu Wan is already planning the next counterattack. The idea of ​​attacking the mainland of Han is still not there. It is moths fighting the fire and killing themselves. Qi Guo Tiandan and Qin Li Xin have already made him a living. An example, but the time was ripe, Qu Wan still dreamed of including the land of Qi in the map of Chu people.

The Qi people had enmity with the Han people. First, Tian Dan’s tens of thousands of troops were wiped out by the Han people. Then the Han people sly and swallowed the Qi country in one go. Now among the Qi people, there are not a few people who dream of restoring the country. Now in Kangping City, after Qu has gathered many such people, the courage of these people in the battle against the Han people is more national and tenacious than the Chu people, and the hatred of the Han people is more than that of the Chu people. It must be even worse.

Among these people, there are the nobles, officials, landlords, and businessmen of the Qi country, and there are also many common people, the villagers of the mountains and villages, in Qu Wan's view, these are some good guys that can be used!

When the time comes, under the banner of rehabilitating the Qi people, it is said that a large number of people can not be gathered in the Qi country.

Of course, the prerequisite for all these is that he should defend Kangping City, and it will greatly consume the fighting power, confidence and patience of the Han people here. When the opponent realizes that Kangping City is impossible to capture, when they want to pay attention When the force turns to other places, it is his own opportunity.

"General!" The newly promoted deputy Zhou Yafu pushed in.

"Oh, Yafu is here, just have lunch together, and have a few drinks with me!" Qu Wan laughed.

"General, the scout is here to report. A new general has been raised in the Han army barracks, and Ye is here again." Zhou Yafu's face was solemn, "I'm afraid we will face a tough battle next."

After Qu finished he laughed: "Is King Han finally intolerable? Ye Zhong can do things that Meng Chong, Zhang Hongyu, and Bai Yucheng can't do? Does he really think he has the ability to turn stones into gold?"

"Ye Zhong is the Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Han State, Gao Yuan sent him here, that is the determination that we must conquer Kangping City, General, we must not underestimate the enemy!" Zhou Yawu looked at his expression relaxedly and said. .

"Of course I know this!" Qu Wan said with a smile: "No matter how they change, we have always changed. Defending Kangping City is the core part of this battle. Now the strength of Kangping City has increased to 50,000. People, sufficient food, and countless weapons, the Han army has missed the best time to win Kangping City. If they were not busy integrating Qi's internal strength after winning Qi, they would try their best to be with me. War, then Kangping City is really dangerous, but by now, Kangping City is as stable as Mount Tai. Even if they want to fill it with their lives, they can't attack my Kangping City."

With the flag waving and the drum rumble, Ye Zhong's first offensive after arriving in Kangping City finally kicked off. Although Qu said that he didn't care about Ye Zhong's arrival, the name of the person and the shadow of the tree, as Gao Yuan's subordinate The first general, Ye Zhong, who has been famous for a long time, personally directed the battle against Kangping City.

However, the process was far beyond expectation. Ye Zhong's ability seemed to be no different. The siege strategy was the same as the previous Mengzhong. The only difference was that the morale of the Han army seemed to be much higher. Or because Ye Zhong is the old officer of the Southern Field Army, his subordinates seem to want to show their unyielding fighting will in front of the old officer, but the intensity of the battle has not increased much compared to before.

This is not how bad the Han army's fighting will is, but the main commander of the Han army who directs the battle is still very concerned about the casualties of the soldiers.Once it encounters the stubborn resistance of the Chu army, the sound of the opponent's horn will sound in good time.

The tide of attack, the tide of retreat, apart from letting Qu finish a false alarm, it did not have much effect, Kangping City still stood tall, if the only result of Ye Zhong's arrival, it would be The Han army had attacked the city wall many times, but that was all.

After a day, Qu Wan had already lost his patience. If Ye Zhong's ability was nothing more than that, then he really had nothing to worry about. With a little disappointment, Qu Wan returned to the city and handed over the task of commanding and defending. To Zhou Yafu.

Another day passed, and the Han army's offensive was still full of thunder and little rain. It seemed to be raging like a tide, but it was actually soft and weak.

"General, I suspect that the other party is digging a tunnel." It was another night when Zhou Yafu came to report to Qu Wan's military situation during the day." Today, a large number of soil barriers appeared in front of the opponent's position, but what makes me strange is that the opponent It seems that we are not shy from knowing that they are digging tunnels almost uprightly."

"Digging tunnels?" Qu Wan felt a little bizarre. The offensive and defensive warfare on the mainland has developed to this day, and the art of combat on both sides of the offensive and defensive is almost at its best. It is also today that the attacking battle has become a nightmare for the offensive side.In the face of a well-prepared city, it is almost impossible to win a hard attack.

"This is Ye Zhong's new method of tactics?" Qu Wan almost wanted to laugh. "Put more shafts in the city to detect the location and progress of the tunnel dug by the opponent, and then give them a heavy blow, dig tunnels? Losing Ye? I can figure it out again!"

Qu Wan felt that Ye Zhong was joking, but Ye Zhong himself didn't think so. In his big account, a group of people were talking about a map, but the people who were discussing were not the generals like Ye Zhong. , But some other people.

Researchers from the Three or Four Yizhen Research Institutes and a few masters in fortification transferred from the Ministry of Engineering are discussing how to break through the strong walls of Kangping City.

"The past city construction on the mainland is almost a template!" A master architect hand-drawn a horizontal and vertical line on the drawing, and poke holes in some of the main points: "Comparable It’s not that the construction of our big Han city has its own characteristics, so there will be no other unexpected actions in Kangping City. These places are some of the key points and key points under our current city wall. As long as the explosives in your real research institute are strong enough, you can completely overturn this section of the city wall that is more than a hundred meters long."

"Our Yizhen Research Institute has no problem with explosives at all. The point is, are these key points you pointed out correct? If these points are not accurate, the effect we want will not be achieved." A Yizhen researcher The researcher of the institute said.

"Joke, I don't know how many cities have been built in my life. Such a small problem can stump me. I dare to make a military order, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare!"

Seeing the two lift up the bull, Ye Zhen smiled and got up. "I believe in the two masters. So, we only need to put explosives on these points and we can succeed in one fell swoop?"

"Not bad!" the two said in unison.

"Very well, Meng Chong, come here, and you will give up all the tunnels dug in other places. Tomorrow, start from these three points and dig all the way to under the city wall." Ye Zhong pointed his finger at the drawing and looked at it. To Meng Chongdao. (To be continued...)
