After a huge battle, one-third of the troops in Wu Pass had died, and this was because the Feather Forest Light Cavalry had held back the enemy's main force.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing now is to replenish our forces and prevent the enemy from invading again!”
"Don't tell me you want me to transfer troops from inside the pass. You should know that water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the present. Even if the soldiers inside the pass can rush over, how much combat power do they have after a long journey?”Ying Fei frowned and said.
After Gao Shun heard this, he shook his head and said respectfully,""Your Majesty, as the barrier of Xianyang, Wu Pass is the same as Hangu Pass.”
"For this reason, whether it was the fatuous Qin II or Zhao Gao's autocracy, they never gave up their support for Wu Pass.”
"It's just that in recent days, all the troops that could be used in Guanzhong have been taken away by Zhang Han, so the defenders in the city are not enough.”
Hearing this, Ying Fei pondered and immediately asked,"How many weapons are there in the armory?”
"Your Majesty, there are still 3,000 sets of heavy armor, 12,000 sets of short armor, tens of thousands of long-handled weapons such as daggers, spears, axes, and spears, and millions of arrows in the military warehouse of Wu Pass.”Gao Shun reported in a low voice.
Ever since the death of the First Emperor and the succession of Huhai, the military was lax, and even the workshops for forging weapons had withered.
Ordinary weapons could be forged on the spot, but weapons like the Qin crossbow were extremely complicated and could not be manufactured.
The current Qin crossbow was made during the reign of the First Emperor. Although the craftsmanship was not lost, the old craftsman had long died or fled.
"Gao Shun, since you are the general of Wu Pass, you can do whatever you want with regards to training the soldiers. You don't have to ask me again. As for the bow, I will order someone to send it to you.”
After pondering for a moment, Ying Fei said indifferently.
He knew very well that the people of Qin valued martial arts. Even a ten-year-old child could use battle formations to attack, not to mention the tens of thousands of young men at Wu Pass.
As long as they had enough weapons and equipment, Wu Pass would have tens of thousands of soldiers, which would be very beneficial to kill Liu Bang's rebels.
As for the crossbows, after this battle, the Qin army had killed tens of thousands of enemies, and his Merit Points had returned to five digits. Perhaps it would be difficult to exchange for a weapon like the Divine Arm Crossbow.
It was enough to exchange for tens of thousands of Qin Crossbows from the same era. The price of Qin Crossbows in the market was only 2 Merit Points. Now, it was half price and only required 1 Merit Point.
"Yes!"
Gao Shun nodded and immediately went down to arrange the military matters.
.........
At the Danshui Chu army camp.
Compared to the troops at Wu Pass, Liu Bang's troops were in a terrible state.
"Zhou Bo, quickly count the casualties.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Xiahou Ying, order the rear camp to set up camp and send out scouts to be on guard at all times. Be sure to guard against any sneak attacks from the enemy!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Mister Zifang, Lord Xiao will follow me into the account to discuss military and political matters.”
After a series of orders, Liu Bang immediately led a few attendants into his main tent.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers had already left the battlefield and retreated to the Elixir Water Transformation. It was more convenient for them to set up camp here.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground within ten miles of the Martial Pass. The air was filled with the strong smell of blood, attracting many vultures to come and feast on them.
In the main tent, Liu Bang sat at the head, while Zhang Liang and Xiao He stood on both sides. The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Today's battle had truly shocked them. Not only was the Qin army not affected by Huhai and Zhao Gao, but they had also displayed terrifying combat strength due to the change in the Elixir Water.
Whether it was in terms of combat strength or morale, the troops of the Wu Pass were undisputed tigers and wolves, especially the thousands of ghost-faced black-armored cavalry, which were even more ferocious.
"The two of you, this battle is really useless."
After a long time, Liu Bang sighed.
Even though the casualty numbers had not been calculated, he knew that out of the eight thousand cavalry of the Revolutionary Army, only a few thousand remained.
The rest of the Revolutionary Army soldiers could not be any better. At most, they could only fight the Qin army two to one, not to mention their overwhelming advantage.
He had swindled the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Pei County, but they had lost 30,000 men in the night attack on Wu Pass. Now, they had suffered heavy losses in a direct confrontation. This made Liu Bang feel depressed.
"Pei Gong, we lost this battle without any injustice. The enemy is well prepared at Wu Pass, and the elites of the Qin country are also fighting.”
Zhang Liang was also in a bad mood. This was the first great battle he had experienced since the death of the First Emperor. He did not expect the Qin army to be as strong as ever.
When the old Qin man's oath sounded out on the battlefield, his heart turned cold. In the past, Great Qin's army of tigers and wolves had broken through the Han Kingdom's capital and swallowed the world like a whale.
Xiao He couldn't help but say,""Perhaps we have neglected one thing from the beginning, and that is that the general of Wu Pass has changed.”
"The leader of the ghost-faced black-armored cavalrymen, that cold youth who is no more than 18 years old, will die under a halberd. His might is not inferior to Xiang Yu's.”
"It is precisely because of this person that our army has failed time and time again. If we want to take down Wu Pass, we must first take down this Qin general.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent fell into a strange silence again.
Almost everyone thought at the same time that on the battlefield today, the young Qin general who was like a ghost was simply inhuman!
