Dian Wei said: "Your Majesty, please rest peacefully. I will defend the city tomorrow. I want to see who dares to step onto the city wall without opening their eyes."
Wang Can said: "Although the Han army does not have many troops, it has countless capable men. But the flying generals Li Guang and Huo Qubing are enough trouble for you. Besides, they also have Peng Yue. I heard that Yingbu himself
We are also people with superb martial arts skills. Now we have destroyed most of their siege equipment. Tomorrow they will definitely use their generals as the vanguard to attack the city with all their strength, but how can you, Dian Wei, stop them?"
Dian Wei also fell silent. Even if Li Guang and Huo Qubing were fighting together, Dian Wei could escape unscathed. However, if it was a horse fight, even if three Dian Wei were tied together, they might not be able to deal with one Huo Qubing.
After all, fighting immediately has always been Dian Wei's shortcoming. Even now that he is young again and has improved his martial arts, he still has not solved this problem well.
For a moment, everyone in the hall couldn't help but fell silent. In today's bloody battle, Cao Chun was seriously injured, and Wang Can was also hit by an arrow. Wang Lie in Tianshui City was only a second-rate general. Although he had considerable experience in commanding spearmen,
However, in the battle for the city wall, the terrain is narrow, and the advantage of having powerful generals will be continuously amplified. Just like today, during the day, Wang Can took the lead, inspiring the whole army's confidence to fight to the death, and then barely defended Tianshui City.
At this time, the battlefield casualty reports were also compiled by Guo Jia.
Today during the battle on the south wall of Tianshui City, the Han army suffered casualties between 4,000 and 5,000, most of whom were killed. Seven chariots were destroyed, and only one left the battlefield intact.
As for the Shu army, the original garrison in Tianshui City lost 1,200 people. The Shu army brought by Wang Can killed 700 people and seriously injured more than 200 people. It was also a heavy casualty, and the inventory of crossbow arrows was reduced by six.
OK, if the fight continues tomorrow like today, then
The day after tomorrow, Wang Can and others could only defend the city against the arrows of the Han army. According to the ratio of casualties, Wang Can and others suffered more casualties than the Han army.
Wang Can said: "So tomorrow, I still have to go to the city wall to supervise the battle. Don't persuade me to break out at night or anything. I, Wang Can, have been fighting on the battlefield for twenty years. I have always been chasing others. How can I go first?"
If you don't want to escape, you should go down and rest early."
After everyone left, a man walked in from outside the hall and said, "Didn't you once say that if you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land? Why do you have to stay on the battlefield today despite being injured?"
Looking at Jiang Wei with a white cloth wrapped around his belly, Wang Can's image is not much better. His shoulders are also wrapped in several layers of white gauze.
"The poison is gone, no one needs to carry it anymore," Wang Can said, throwing a stool towards Jiang Wei.
"Stop talking nonsense to me, you haven't answered my question yet." Jiang Wei took the stool with one hand, put it down and sat down.
Wang Can said: "I said that people will lose their land, and both people and land will survive, but the words depend on the circumstances under which they are used. Earlier, when the world just started to change, the land of Kyushu was in chaos, and all the heroes were in chaos.
Since then, no one knows what is going on, and as for my old brothers, many of them are stubborn. When a war breaks out, they are the boss in heaven, the second boss in earth, me the third boss, and he is the fourth boss.
"
After a pause, Wang Can picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of the medicinal wine given by Yu Ji and continued: "So, I'm really afraid that they will all be blamed for me on the battlefield."
Jiang Wei frowned and said: "As a king, you should be decisive in killing. How can you advise your subordinates to escape?"
Wang Can said: "Indeed, so this may be the reason why I lost so much land at once. Of course, I don't feel it is a pity. After all, my brother is still there."
After a pause, Wang Can looked at Jiang Wei and said in a deep voice: "Since my brother is still here, I can still lead the army to regain the lost territory. Tianshui City is the choke point from the Western Region to the Central Plains, and from Hanzhong to Xiliang. Guard Tianshui City.
This will prevent the war in Hanzhong from burning across Xiliang. Now that the Huns have just been pacified by our Shu army, they really need to recuperate. Jiang Wei, please interrogate your heart. Are you willing to see every scene in Xiliang you have been to?
Is a town in flames of war?"
Wang Can stood up slowly, walked to Jiang Wei, grabbed his collar, lifted him up and said: "The king is decisive in killing the enemy, and he should also have a heart of benevolence and righteousness in his body to face it.
All the people he protects behind him. Moreover, I came to Tianshui City just to tell the heroes of the world one thing. Today's land of China is my territory. I don't care how great you generation of kings were in the past, but in this world
This world is mine! In this battle, I will tell the world that this world is mine, and tell those kings who failed in reincarnation and came back to life, that what I, Wang Can, have lost, will definitely be taken back for nothing else!
Just to earn a damn breath!"
Wang Can stared at Jiang Wei closely, his eyes burning with raging anger, which was the anger he had accumulated since returning to Shu. Even the blood of tens of thousands of people who died in the Xiongnu battle could not extinguish it.
Perhaps only after killing all the kings will the anger be appeased.
Above the hall, Jiang Wei's voice came out.
"Your Majesty, you are really a cruel person."
In the Han army camp.
At this time, the Han army's general camp moved five miles outside Tianshui City.
Looking at the dots of fire on the Tianshui city wall in the distance, Yingbu turned around and said, "Tell me, what do you think of today's battle?"
The 15,000-strong army lost nearly one-third of its men in a bloody battle in one day, and not even an inch of ground was gained. Yingbu's face was red with anger at this time.
Li Guang took a step forward and said: "Marshal, this battle is all my fault. I failed to detect the Shu army's plan in advance, which made the chariots too close to each other at the most critical moment of the siege. In the end, Shu used two
The bed crossbow was destroyed."
Yingbu waved his hands and said: "I also know that you and Huo Qubing have tried their best, not to mention that Huo Qubing is still injured. You can hurt Wang Can, which is a great achievement. Wang Can was injured, and the morale and strength of the Shu army were greatly reduced.
, now Jiang Wei has been poisoned by Mr. Chen's design, their cavalry commander Cao Chun has been seriously injured, and Wang Can has temporarily lost one of his left hands by you, so only Dian Wei is the only one left with superior martial arts in the Shu army."
Although Yingbu was very angry about today's defeat on the battlefield, he had served in important positions in the Western Han Dynasty army for many years and had seen battles with greater casualties and worse conditions than this. It's just that today's battle was the first time he had personally fought since his resurrection.
If the first battle of unifying the army can be won instantly, then the land of China will be resounding with his great reputation.
After a pause, Yingbu said: "Tomorrow, I have to humiliate you two and lead my elite troops to contain Dian Wei. I will let Peng Yue, Xia Houying and others lead troops to attack the city from the weak points of the city wall."
When he mentioned Xia Houying, Yingbu said: "Xia Houying, as the commander-in-chief of the army, you escaped before the battle. If Li Guang hadn't been here, I think you would have run away as soon as Wang Can came. You were originally going to kill him."
Yours, but because you have saved Gaozu's life, and we have to attack the city tomorrow, and killing at this time will be detrimental to our army, I will give you twenty military sticks first. I will report this matter to Gaozu personally!
"
After saying that, Xia Houying was pulled out before he could explain.
Then Yingbu asked all the generals to retreat.
However, when leaving, Yingbu specifically asked Huo Qubing to stay and said, "Colonel Huo, did you remember correctly what Wang Can asked you to tell me last night?"
Huo Qubing said: "Marshal, don't worry, I will always be absolutely loyal to the great man! Everything he said is true, and there is absolutely no lie."
Yingbu patted Huo Qubing's shoulder and said, "Of course I believe Captain Huo. Does Captain Huo know how I died in my previous life?"
Colonel Huo hesitated for a moment and said: "This is for Marshal Qi. Although I haven't read any literature and history, since I joined the army, the heroic deeds of this Marshal in the south and north have also been spread among the army. In the end, the emperor Gaozu entrusted three counties and exempted them from the war.
We have achieved a good harvest for ten years, which we are all envious of."
After hearing this, Yingbu burst out laughing boldly, bowed to the southwest, and said, "Gaozu treated me well."
Then Yingbu sent Huo Qubing away with a smile.
Later, when Yingbu stayed alone in the tent.
He gradually stopped smiling. When Yingbu was resurrected, he was in his early fifties. At this age in his previous life, Liu Bang forced Xiang Yu to commit suicide in Wujiang River. Yingbu led his army to replace Liu Bang and destroyed him and his disobedient people.
of people.
He knew that the Han Dynasty would definitely be established, but after it was established, Yingbu had no idea how he died in his first life.
Liu Bang came out of Hanzhong. Only the local county annals are preserved in Hanzhong, and most of them and documents were brought to Chang'an by the Shu army.
Therefore, Wang Can, who attacked Xiliang this time and used this as a basis to deal with Sili, wanted to go to Chang'an and see how those historians wrote about themselves. At the same time, Yingbu also inadvertently promoted Li Guang and Huo Qubing.
.
For example, Xia Houying, who was not outstanding in military force, was allowed to lead the army, but Li Guang was appointed as his adjutant. This indirectly helped Li Guang accumulate military merits, so that he could bribe these emerging generals and get words out of their mouths.
It can be seen from the affectionate Zhong Yingbu that Huo Qubing evaded just now that Huo Qubing did lie to him in some ways. A nineteen-year-old young man wanted to lie to a veteran in his fifties who had seen countless people. How could Yingbu see it?
.
Yingbu looked at the flames dancing on the candle and said to himself: "I have the heart to kill the enemy, but I don't have the life to enjoy happiness. Could it be that my death was related to Lu Pheasant?"
Yingbu followed Liu Bang, and he also knew Lu Pheasant very well.
He knew that this woman had great ambitions.
Then he took a deep breath to calm down. Now is the critical period of the battle between the two armies. Yingbo should not focus on this. (To be continued)
