After a fierce battle, the number of troops defending Wu Pass decreased by one-third.
And this was with the light cavalry as the vanguard.
It was because they had restrained most of the main rebel forces.
"Your Majesty.
I think 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!”
"You mean, you want me to transfer soldiers from the pass to you?
One had to know that distant water could not quench one's thirst.
Even if the pass could send out extra soldiers to help.
However, how much combat power could he maintain under the assault of the starry night?”
Ying Feng raised his eyebrows and said calmly.
Iron Staff shook his head and said respectfully,"
"Your Majesty.
As the barrier of Xianyang, Wu Pass had always been the same as Hangu Pass.
It's all important to the country."
"That's why.
Even if Qin II was fatuous and Zhao Gao monopolized power.
He had never thought of giving up his support for Wu Pass.”
"It's just that the threat of Xiang Yu's rebel army is too great.
Therefore…
All the troops that could be used in Guanzhong were basically recruited by Zhang Han.
This was also the reason why there was a shortage of guards at the Martial Pass.”
Hearing this, Ying Feng suddenly changed the topic and asked.
"How many weapons are there in the armory?”
"Your Majesty!
There were still 4,000 sets of heavy armor and 11,000 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 there were too few crossbows.”
Mai Tiezhang reported in a deep voice.
Since the death of Qin Shi Huang.
After Huhai succeeded to the throne, the military was unprecedentedly relaxed.
Even the workshops for forging weapons had been reduced to almost none.
It was not a problem to forge a simple weapon on the spot.
However, the Qin crossbow was a powerful weapon for the country.
The production process was extremely complicated and could not be casually forged.
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!
"Mai Tiezhang, since you are the general of the Wu Pass, you should be careful.
The matter of organizing and training soldiers can be handled by himself.
There is no need to ask me again.
As for the bow and crossbow, I will order someone to send it to you.”
Ying Feng thought for a while and said.
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 would be able to increase the number of troops by tens of thousands 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…
It was not a problem at all.
After defeating the 200,000 rebel soldiers of Liu Bang, Ying Feng had obtained an additional special check-in reward.
Even though it was no longer a crossbow-like killing weapon that transcended eras.
However, it just so happened to be a bow and a Qin crossbow.
Moreover, there were tens of thousands of them, which was enough to solve the current urgent situation.
"Yes!"
Since Ying Feng had said so, Iron Staff Mai didn't have any objections.
He nodded and went to make arrangements for the army.
.........
In Danshui City, Liu Bang's rebel army won.
Compared to the jubilation of the defenders of Wu Pass who had won a great victory.
The entire Pill Water City was filled with a dispirited atmosphere.
"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.
We can't give the Qin army any chance to ambush us!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Mister Fang Liang, Lord Xiao!
Follow me to the tent to discuss military and political matters.”
A series of orders were issued.
Liu Bang led a few of his personal guards and hurried into his tent.
At this moment, the Chu army, which had suffered heavy casualties, had completely retreated from the battlefield.
They set up camp by the Dan River.
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 of the table, while Zhang Liang and Xiao He sat on both sides.
The atmosphere was heavy and gloomy.
Today's battle with the Qin army of Wuguan was beyond their expectations.
The Qin army of Wuguan was extremely brave.
He was not affected by the fatuous Huhai or the crafty Zhao Gao at all.
However, because of the Pill Water Massacre incident, 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 ten thousand black armored cavalry, they were basically the incarnations of the Asura of Hell.
Brutal and vicious, killing people like flies!
"Gentlemen, this battle is really frustrating.”
After a long silence, Liu Bang sighed and said.
Even though Zhou Bo was still counting the casualties, Liu Bang was not blind.
Just by looking, the Revolutionary Army had suffered heavy losses.
Just the 8,000 cavalry of the uprising army had lost more than two-thirds.
Many of the remaining 2,000 people could not be saved.
After the retreat, only a thousand cavalrymen remained.
There was no need to mention the 200,000-strong army.
A few waves of Qin crossbow bolts rained down, and the range of their destructive power was extremely shocking.
They hadn't even fought yet, but they were already terrified.
200,000 against 40,000, he was actually 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 the courage and combat strength.
He was 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.
From then on, he would devour the world.
Xiao He couldn't help but say,"
"Perhaps we have made a huge mistake from the very beginning!
That was that the general of Wu Pass had already been replaced.”
"The leader of the ghost-faced black armored cavalry, that callous youth who is only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Under the halberd, he was invincible.
His bravery is comparable to Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Chu."
"It is precisely because of this person that our army has been 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 three people in the tent fell silent.
A scene appeared in their minds at the same time.
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!
