Chapter 276 I want these 200,000 wolves, no return!

Shangjun, Great Wall.

The wolf tribe's 200,000-strong army suddenly attacked, catching the defenders of the Great Wall off guard.

However, the opposing vanguard did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, they surrounded the Great Wall and waited for the follow-up troops.

However, Qin State did not take the initiative to attack due to insufficient troops, resulting in a stalemate.

However, this situation did not last long, as the wolves soon launched an attack.

Although it was just a tentative attack, it already made the Shangjun defenders a little embarrassed.

"Relying on the Great Wall, we should be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive. Now we just hope that the news can reach Xianyang as soon as possible."

Wang Wan looked at the wolf soldiers who were repelled again, without much worry in his eyes.

As long as reinforcements arrive, they may be able to counterattack.

"Report! General, there is someone outside who claims to be Lord Tianwaitian and has come to support us."

"Tianwai...it's the Imperial Master! Take me to see him quickly!"

Wang Wan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that Su Qingyun, the national master, seemed to have got married in Xueyue City not long ago, so it was not surprising to appear here now.

What surprised him so much was that they needed support now.

Wang Wan hurriedly came to see Su Qingyun and seemed very enthusiastic.

"Master National Preceptor!"

"Are you the Sheriff here?"

"Yes, my subordinate Wang Wan and the National Preceptor have come to support me. I don't know how many people they have brought with them?"

Su Qingyun was really surprised when he heard this person's name.

This man seems to be the prime minister after the Qin Dynasty. He must be able to garrison such an important place as Shangjun, so he must have certain abilities.

But when faced with Wang Wan's problems, Su Qingyun was destined to disappoint him.

Xueyue City does not have many garrison troops, so including the Jianghu people who are willing to participate in the battle, there are less than 5,000 people.

"There are only more than 4,000 people, but there are many masters among them."

"More than four thousand? Even a master is powerless against two hundred thousand wolves!"

Sure enough, Wang Wan's eyes suddenly dimmed, as if her hope was shattered.

"I know that the main burden of fighting against the wolves still lies with you, and it may be difficult for the country to mobilize large armies to support us at this moment."

"What! How could this happen?"

At this moment, Wang Wan did not know that the Qin army was dragged at Hangu Pass by the Allied Forces of the Five Nations. Wang Jian's troops went ahead. Later, news of the battle at Hangu Pass reached Xianyang, and Ying Zheng once again ordered Huan Jue to lead an army of 150,000 to rush to the reinforcements.

Guguan.

Now the Qin State has about 300,000 troops at Hanguguan, and it is very difficult to send more troops to support Shangjun. After all, some troops still need to be left to defend the country.

At this moment, when the wolves attack Shangjun, the timing is really perfect.

"Not long ago, the five-nation coalition attacked Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass was in urgent need, so most of the country's troops have been used at Hangu Pass. But you don't have to worry, the 200,000 wolf tribe is not impossible to fight."

Su Qingyun explained the current situation.

Wang Wan nodded:

"What's your plan, Master National Preceptor?"

He knew that it was useless to just worry now. Although there was probably no support, Su Qingyun was still here. He was so calm. I'm afraid he had already thought of a plan before!

"The wolves have always lived in the northern grasslands and made a living as nomads. Now that it's winter, they don't have much food, so they go south to plunder. Although this time the attack is fierce, the purpose is still the same, for food."

Su Qingyun began to analyze the matter to Wang Wan.

"I also know what the Imperial Master said. These barbarians from the north don't know how to farm, so naturally they can only be bandits."

"So for them, the food and fodder for the 200,000-strong army is a huge burden. If they fail to get supplies in time, the 200,000-strong army may be in chaos before we can take action."

Su Qingyun explained the current situation of the wolf clan in one sentence.

No matter how powerful this new Chanyu is, he can stabilize the wolf tribe within such a short period of time, but they have absolutely no way to solve the food problem, otherwise they would not have assembled an army of 200,000 to invade south.

"What does the Imperial Master mean?"

"Strengthen the walls and clear the country to wait for the enemy! Don't let them get a grain of food! If they attack fiercely, we can also retreat in time, take away all the supplies, and lure the enemy deep. When they are defeated due to lack of food, we will fight back.

when!"

Su Qingyun's plan is very simple, defend as long as you can. If there are too many casualties, you can abandon the city and escape, but at the same time take everything away and leave no food for them.

For the wolves, occupying these cities in a short period of time has no effect and will only consume their strength. It is not the purpose of their move south at all.

If they can't grab food, it will be useless for them to fight. The food consumed by an army of 200,000 in one day is already terrifying. With their food reserves, it is enough to last for half a month.

Therefore, once the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness is implemented, the defeat of the wolf clan will become inevitable.

Of course, they had a faster way to find their grain and grass storage areas and then set them on fire.

This process can be accelerated directly.

However, this matter is not easy and requires sufficient detailed and accurate information.

When Wang Wan heard Su Qingyun's words, her eyes lit up at first, and then she hesitated a little, lowering her head and thinking about something.

"If you have any questions, you can raise them. After all, Shangjun's defense still relies on you, and you are the county guard."

Su Qingyun saw Wang Wan's confusion and signaled to him not to worry about his identity.

"Although Master Imperial Master's plan is feasible, will it be risky for us to abandon the city like this?"

"Why do you think the wolves come to invade the country every year and kill them incessantly?"

Su Qingyun did not answer this question, but asked another question.

"They live in no fixed place on the grassland. It is really difficult to chase them, let alone kill them."

"Yes, they make a living as nomads and live in the vast grassland. Even if these 200,000 troops are defeated, what can we do? When they repair their troops in the coming year, they will be able to invade our Daqin border again.

"

"What does the Imperial Master mean?"

"I want these 200,000 wolves, never come back!"

Su Qingyun's eyes were blazing, as if the lives of these 200,000 wolf soldiers were not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Wang Wan is not stupid. After the hint just now, he also understood what Su Qingyun meant. The reason for giving in was to invite you into the urn!

If they are kept here, even if they can fight, it will be difficult to annihilate an army of 200,000.

But in another way, if these 200,000 wolves enter the Qin territory, they only need to block the route of these people back to catch the turtle in the jar.

In the absence of food, their combat effectiveness will only become lower and lower.

Back then, Bai Qi fought in Changping and surrounded Zhao's 400,000-strong army, causing them to run out of ammunition and food. In the end, only 240 of the 400,000-strong Zhao army were sent back, and none of the rest survived.

A similar strategy was used on the wolves. They didn't even need to use any strategy, they just lured them directly. There was no other way for them to obtain food.

Wang Wan doesn't need too many people. All he needs to do is cut off their retreat, and they will completely lose their supplies.

All the hesitations I had before were completely gone.

After this battle, he, Wang Wan, will also become a famous general!
