In one battle, one-third of the defending troops of Wu Pass had died.
And this was because the light cavalry was in front.
It was because they had restrained the enemy's main force.
"Your Majesty.
I believe that the most important thing now is to replenish our forces.
This is to prevent the enemy from invading again. Our army is unable to resist!”
"Could it be that you want this one to transfer troops for you from inside the pass?
It should be known that distant water could not quench the thirst of the present.
Even if there were enough soldiers inside the pass to support them.
However, how much combat power could he maintain after such a long journey?”
Ying Rui frowned and said.
After Gao Shun heard this, he shook his head and said respectfully,"
"Your Majesty.
As the barrier of Xianyang, Wu Pass was the same as Hangu Pass.
It's an important place for the country."
"For this reason, regardless of whether it was Qin II's stupidity or Zhao Gao's autocracy.
He had never given up his support for Wu Pass.”
"It's just that recently.
All the troops that could be mobilized in the pass were taken away by Zhang Han.
That was why there was a shortage of guards in the city.”
Hearing this, Ying Rui pondered for a while and asked,
"How many weapons are there in the armory?”
"Your Majesty!
There were still 3,000 sets of heavy armor and 12,000 sets of short armor in the military warehouse of Wuguan.
There were tens of thousands of long-handled weapons such as Ge, Spear, Yue and Pi.
There were a million arrows, but the crossbow was extremely scarce.”
Gao Shun reported in a low voice.
Since the death of Qin Shi Huang, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne and the military was lax.
Even the workshops that forged weapons were few and far between.
It was not a problem to forge ordinary weapons on the spot.
The Qin crossbow was a sharp weapon for the army.
The production process was extremely complicated and could not be made on the spot.
The current Qin crossbow was forged during the reign of the First Emperor.
Although the craft has not been lost.
However, the old craftsman had already died or escaped.
A clever housewife can't cook without rice!
"Gao Shun, since you are the general of Wu Pass, you should be careful.
The matter of training soldiers can be handled by yourself, and there is no need to ask me again.
As for the bow and crossbow, I will order someone to send it to you.”
Ying Rui said after pondering for a while.
He knew very well that the people of Qin revered martial arts.
Even a ten-year-old child knew how to use battle formations.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of young men from Wu Pass.
As long as they had enough weapons and equipment.
Wu Pass could gather tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time.
This was crucial for killing Liu Bang's rebels and defending Wu Pass.
There were great benefits.
As for the scarcity of bows and crossbows…
In this battle, the Qin army had killed tens of thousands of enemies.
His Merit Points had returned to five digits.
Or perhaps, he could exchange for a weapon like the Yellow shoulder crossbow.
It was still a little difficult.
It could be exchanged for weapons of the same era like the Qin crossbow, which was enough to exchange for tens of thousands of them.
Qin Crossbow was priced at 2 Merit Points in the Merchant Shop.
Now, it was half price and only cost one Merit Point.
"Yes!"
Gao Shun nodded and immediately went down to arrange the military matters.
.........
At the Danshui Chu army camp.
Compared to the joy of the defenders of Wu Pass who had won a great victory.
Liu Bang's troops were badly battered.
"Zhou Bo, quickly count the casualties.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Xiahou Ying, order the rear camp to set up camp.
Send out scouts and be on guard at all times.
Be careful of the enemy's sneak attacks!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Mister Fang Liang, Lord Xiao!
Follow me into the treasury to discuss military and political matters.”
A series of orders were issued.
Liu Bang immediately led a few attendants into his tent.
At this moment, there were hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers.
He had already left the battlefield and retreated to the edge of the Pill Water.
It was more convenient for them to set up camp here.
Ten miles in front of Wuguan, the bones are like a forest.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Many vultures were attracted to hunt for food.
In the tent of the central army.
Liu Bang sat at the head, while Zhang Liang and Xiao He stood on both sides.
The atmosphere was heavy and gloomy.
Today's battle with the Qin army of Wuguan was beyond their expectations.
Not only was the Qin army at Wu Pass unaffected by Huhai and Zhao Gao, but they were also not affected by them.
On the contrary, due to the change in the pill water, it erupted with an incomparably terrifying combat strength.
Whether it was in terms of combat strength or morale, it was not a big deal.
The garrison of Wu Pass was worthy of the title of a tiger and wolf army.
Especially those thousands of ghost-faced black armored cavalry, they were simply the embodiment of hell.
It's cruel and fierce.
"The two of you, this battle is really useless."
After a long time, Liu Bang sighed.
Even though the specific casualty data had not been calculated yet.
However, he was not blind. How could he not see it?
More than half of the eight thousand cavalry had died.
The remaining one also had many injured people.
Even if they didn't have any, they were still terrified and their morale was low.
The rest of the Revolutionary Army soldiers were even more miserable.
200,000 against 40,000. He was suppressed from the beginning to the end.
Ever since the uprising in Pei County, Liu Bang had never suffered such a huge loss!
They had swindled and swindled along the way, and it was not easy for them to pull together an army of hundreds of thousands.
Before this, 30,000 people were killed in the night attack on Wuguan.
Now, in a direct confrontation, they had suffered heavy losses.
Liu Bang, who thought he had won, couldn't help but feel depressed and embarrassed.
"Pei Gong.
The enemy had been waiting at Wu Pass for a long time.
They waited for fatigue, and there were Qin elites to fight.
We didn't lose unjustly!"
Zhang Liang's mood was also clouded with dark clouds.
Ever since the death of Qin Shihuang, this was the first time he had participated in a battle of this scale.
He didn't expect the Qin army to still have their courage and battle prowess. They were as brave as ever.
When the oath of the old Qin man sounded on the battlefield…
He was terrified.
This was how Great Qin's ferocious army broke through the Han Kingdom's capital.
And then devour the world.
Xiao He couldn't help but say,"
"Perhaps we have neglected something from the very beginning.
The general of Wu Pass had changed.”
"The leader of the ghost-faced black-armored cavalrymen, that cold youth who is no more than eighteen years old.
Under a halberd, there was death.
His might is comparable to Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu."
"It is precisely because of this person that I led the army to attack.
That was why our army was forced to retreat.
Therefore, I believe that…
If he wanted to break through Wu Pass, he first needed to take down this young general.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent fell into a strange silence again.
Almost everyone saw the same scene.
On the battlefield today, that young general Qin had charged left and right.
It was as if he had entered a no-man's land, filled with slaughter!
It was simply inhuman!
