Chapter 134: Abandoned Sons and Increased Troops (Second update, please subscribe)
From noon to evening, although the Xiongnu continued to attack the city, they never caused much damage to the Yanmen defenders who had a lot of famous generals to help them.
Under Yue Fei's perfect defensive command, the Yanmen Army suffered only 500 casualties on the first day of the city defense battle, but the Xiongnu suffered 3,000 casualties. The casualty ratio of 1:6 really shocked a lot of people's attention.<
/p>
If Yue Fei commanded the regular army to achieve such a record, there would be nothing surprising. However, it should be noted that Yue Fei only relied on a group of recruits who had been trained for three days to achieve a casualty ratio of 1:6. This can definitely be regarded as a miracle.
.
Because of the attention of the young master Qin Hao, Yue Fei was promoted very quickly. He only joined the Yanmen Army a few days ago and became the general who commanded an army of 7,000 to defend Yanmen Pass. With such a dazzling aura, it is indeed easy for people to be jealous.
There was also a group of people in the Yanmen Army who were waiting to see Yue Fei's joke, but Yue Fei slapped those people hard with the facts.
After this battle, no one in the army would be dissatisfied with Yue Fei. After all, his record is there. Even if he is the lord and young master, he may not be as good as Yue Fei in commanding a group of new soldiers.
As for the sudden withdrawal of the Xiongnu, Yue Fei felt a little baffled. He was obviously ready for a night battle, so how could he withdraw at the drop of a hat?
As Yue Fei expected, Huchuquan originally wanted to attack the city overnight and was not prepared to give the Yanmen Army a chance to breathe, but was stopped by Yuv Luo before issuing the order.
Night fighting is an act of hurting the enemy first, hurting oneself first. The biggest losses are suffered by the siege party. Although Yuvroud does not care about the lives of ordinary soldiers, the losses suffered at Yanmen Pass are too heavy, which is not conducive to the implementation of his subsequent plans. It is necessary to know that Yuvrault does not care about the lives of ordinary soldiers.
What Fulo wants is not just Yanmen County, but the entire Bingzhou and even the world.
However, it was Yu Fuluo's womanly kindness that gave the Yanmen defenders a chance to breathe, and at the same time caused Huchuquan to miss the best opportunity to win.
On the first day of the city defense battle, the Yanmen Army did take advantage on the surface, but that was only because the Yanmen defenders were in the best condition on the first day, both in terms of physical strength and fighting spirit.
Even though the Xiongnu's whole-day siege did not cause too many casualties to the Yanmen army on the surface, it actually consumed a lot of physical strength of the Yanmen defenders.
The Xiongnu had an army of 100,000 as their backing, and used turn-based siege tactics. The combat effectiveness of the siege team was always at its peak.
However, there are only 7,000 Yanmen defenders. Although they are guarded by Xiongguan, the cost of competition is definitely not as high as that of the Xiongnu.
As time goes by, the physical strength of the defenders decreases and the number of casualties increases. It will become more and more difficult to defend the city, and the casualties will also increase.
But these were all expected by Qin Hao. He and Wang Meng wanted this effect, so they left so many people for Yue Fei.
The more fiercely Yue Fei defends Yanmen Pass, the more real the illusion that Yanmen Pass is empty of troops, and the greater the possibility that Yu Fulo will fall into the trap.
In order to let Yu Fuluo fall into the trap, Qin Hao has begun to use any means at all costs. The seven thousand defenders at Yanmen Gate are Qin Hao's bait to lure Yu Fuluo's 100,000 troops into the trap.
…………
In the large tent of the Huns' central army, Yuvluo sat on the main seat with a ferocious face and said nothing. The atmosphere in the tent was extremely solemn.
After a long time, Humphrey finally asked: "How many people were lost?"
Huchuquan's face looked a little ugly, and he responded stiffly: "Three thousand."
"Where is the Yanmen Army?"
"...less than five hundred."
"Trash, they're all trash!" Yufro angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand and roared at Huchuquan: "A hundred thousand troops can't take down Yanmen Pass, which is defended by thousands of people. What's the use of you guys?" After a day of observation, Yu Fuluo finally understood that there were not even 10,000 defenders at Yanmen Pass, only six or seven thousand at most.
Like Yanmen Pass, an ancient pass with six or seven thousand people guarding the pass and ten thousand people guarding the pass are completely different concepts.
Because there are not enough troops to fill it, it is simply not enough to fully exert the power of the war machine of Yanmen Pass. And if you want to ensure that a large fortress like Yanmen Pass is impregnable, it must not be less than 10,000 people.
If Yanmen Pass's defense power can be fully utilized, it can at least withstand a force ten times our own for a month.
However, if the defenders are less than 10,000 and have to face an enemy force ten times their own, there will be obvious defense loopholes. As long as the loopholes are targeted, it will not be difficult to break through within two or three days!
Hu Chuquan did not explain Hu Chuquan's reprimand, but just lowered his head in shame. After all, he was indeed commanding the siege and the losses were so great. This is an indisputable fact.
"Chanyu, please calm down." King Youguli stood up and begged: "The failure to capture Yanmen Pass this time is not entirely to blame on the wise king. Yue Fei's commanding ability in defending the city is even better than Gao Shun. I
The army was neither well-prepared nor careless about its enemy, so its defeat was indeed unjust."
"Yes, although Yanmen Pass was not captured this time, it was not without gain. At least we found out the strength of the Yanmen Army. With only six to seven thousand defenders, it would only be a matter of time before Yanmen Pass was captured by our army.
Why should Chanyu be so anxious about this matter?" King Zuoguli analyzed it unhurriedly, and after hearing this, Yufuluo's face finally became a little better.
At this time, King Yougu Li suddenly interjected: "Chanyu, we encountered such fierce resistance at the first dangerous pass of the Huns going south. After Yanmen Pass, there was Guangwu, and then there was Jinyang. The defensive power of these cities
Although it is not as good as Yanmen Pass, if the Han people continue to defend it, it will still cause us a lot of trouble, and Qin Wen will return to the army soon."
Yufro couldn't help but fell silent for a while. The news of Qin Wen's return to the army invisibly put great pressure on Yufro. Over the years, he had played against Qin Wen dozens of times, but he had never won once. Qin Wen had already
It became his inner demon.
After Yuvluo pondered for a while, his blurred eyes gradually became firm, and he slowly said: "It seems that one hundred thousand cavalry is still not enough to capture the entire Bingzhou. I have sent the order of Chan Yu to quickly transfer two troops from Monan."
Ten thousand cavalry and twenty thousand servants came to join the battle."
The servant army is a collective name for the troops sent by the tribes attached to the Xiongnu to cooperate with the Xiongnu. However, its combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of the Xiongnu, otherwise it would not be conquered by the Xiongnu!
"What, we need more troops?" Huchuquan exclaimed.
In addition to the 40,000 troops that have been lost, the Yanmen Army has already invested 140,000 troops in this battle. The 40,000 troops that are being transferred are now 180,000. Although 40,000 of them are servants of the Huns, they still occupy
Most of the Xiongnu’s strength.
Is it really worth it to risk the fate of the Huns just for an illusory goal? Hu Chuquan's heart wavered.
