"Your Majesty, the last general has organized two attacks, both of which were repulsed by the Bushan defenders. My siege soldiers are exhausted. Can you take a rest and attack the city again tomorrow?" A South Vietnamese general was covered in blood.
He knelt down in front of the Nanyue Crown Prince Zhao Shi and asked for orders.
"Okay, you go and remove the soldiers who are attacking the city. Let's wait until tomorrow to make plans for the siege."
After some thought, Zhao Shi reluctantly agreed to the siege commander's request.
During the military meeting at the Nanyue Palace that day, when Zhao Shi heard that there were only 20,000 Qin troops guarding the three counties of Guilin, he was very excited. After pleading hard, Zhao Tuo agreed to let him lead troops to attack Bushan.
county seat.
Because Zhao Tuo knew that the defenders of Guilin County only had 3,000 Yinglong troops and more than 16,000 South Vietnamese soldiers, he agreed to Zhao Shi's request and let Zhao Shi serve as the commander-in-chief of the army to attack Bushan County, and brought South Vietnam to the army.
Seventy thousand of the most elite troops in the army were handed over to Zhao Shi.
After all, Zhao Shi was the only son of Zhao Tuo, so Zhao Shi had elites at his disposal.
Zhao Shi originally thought that his trip to Bushan was just a simple gilding battle, but unexpectedly, the 60,000 soldiers and civilians guarding Bushan taught Zhao Shi a lesson:
When Zhao Shi led 70,000 South Vietnamese elites to Bushan City, Zhao Shi first ordered the South Vietnamese army to surround Bushan City, then accompanied by a group of generals, walked around the Bushan City, and finally pretended to
I chose a place that I thought was the easiest to break through as the main target.
Zhao Shi's South Vietnamese army launched an attack on Bushan City that night when they surrounded Bushan.
When the South Vietnamese army rushed two hundred steps away from the city of Bu Shan, they saw countless torches set up on the city tower, and countless rockets shot down from the city tower, taking away two thousand people in the blink of an eye.
The lives of South Vietnamese soldiers.
Seeing that the South Vietnamese army suffered heavy losses under the Qin army's crossbows, Zhao Shi had no choice but to issue an order to withdraw.
In the next few days, Zhao Shi organized seven or eight more attacks, but they were all resisted tenaciously by the soldiers and civilians defending the city in Bushan.
By the time this leading general requested his life, more than 15,000 of Zhao Shi's 70,000 South Vietnamese elite had already died in Bushan City.
On this day, Zhao Shi summoned a group of South Vietnamese army generals to the Chinese army's tent and held a summary meeting of the battle situation.
"My generals, right now this Bushan City is like an ironclad one. My 70,000-strong army has already lost more than 15,000 people. How can I explain this to my father? If I can't break through the defense of Bushan City, I will
I’m really embarrassed to see my father again. Everyone, tell me what should we do?”
"Your Majesty, according to the reports from the army, the situation of the other two armies is the same as mine in Busan. I think we should temporarily give up the attack on the other two cities, gather all the armies under the city of Bushan, and capture Bushan first.
Let’s talk about the mountain later.”
"Your Majesty, I also thought that we should concentrate our superior forces to attack Bushan County first. Splitting our troops into three groups like this is just increasing casualties. I captured a few people in Bushan and asked them. The Qin army defending the city had already been there.
Half a month ago, Bushan County was built into an iron wall, and there are countless amounts of money, food and supplies stored in the city. If this is the case, even if I spend all my 70,000 men and horses, I may not be able to enter Bushan City."
After listening to the words of the two deputy generals, Zhao Shi nodded helplessly.
"I agree with the opinions of the two generals. I will compile a letter and send it to Panyu tomorrow, asking my father to hand over the power of commanding the army. After the military power is obtained, I will mobilize the other two armies here according to the opinions of the two generals.
At the foot of Bushan City, I don’t believe that an army of 150,000 people can’t take this Bushan County City.”
Before Zhao Shi's letter was sent, Zhao Tuo's letter was delivered to Zhao Shi's camp first.
When Zhao Shi read Zhao Tuo's letter, he almost ran away.
"He has an army of 120,000 by his side, so why should he be afraid of the 10,000 Tiger and Guard troops? What's more, these 10,000 Tiger and Guard troops are not necessarily going to Panyu. Tell me, why did South Vietnam end up in trouble?
Such a cowardly king." Zhao Shi cursed angrily.
"Your Majesty, please be careful what you say!" Someone immediately tried to dissuade him.
Zhao Shi glanced helplessly at the generals in the tent and handed the letters in his hands to these people. When these generals read the letters Zhao Shi handed them, they all shook their heads to express their helplessness.
"Tell me, I am about to advise the three armies to gather to attack Bushan County. He will send 30,000 troops from me back to defend Panyu. Is there such a war? If South Vietnam falls, we will
Died by this cowardly King of South Vietnam."
"Your Majesty, don't say any more." A deputy general of the commanding army hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
…
The next day, Zhao Shi reluctantly separated 20,000 people from the remaining 65,000 people and asked a deputy general to take them back to Panyu.
Regarding Zhao Shi's unauthorized change of the 30,000 people targeted by Zhao Tuo's edict to 20,000 people, all the South Vietnamese generals in Bushan pretended not to see it. After all, they all understood one truth: in their eyes, national affairs are nothing more than family affairs.
It's just a private matter of Zhao Tuo's family. Therefore, they will never get involved in the affairs between Zhao Tuo, Zhao Shi and his son.
When Fusu learned about Zhao Shi's division of troops, he immediately led his army into Guilin County.
In fact, Fusu has been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the three counties of Guilin County. Because there has never been a fighter that satisfies him, he has been hesitating at the junction of Qianzhong County and Guilin County. When the cavalry general Bu Shancheng Zhao
When the news of the division of troops came back, Fusu was so excited that he immediately led his army to Bushan County.
In the morning three days later, Fusu's 45,000 troops arrived at the outskirts of Bushan City. Fusu and a general from the Tiger Army quietly got under the nose of the South Vietnamese army, only to see that Zhao Shi's 35,000 troops were still there.
During the siege of Bu Son City, the morale of the South Vietnamese army was obviously much lower. It was obvious that the unsuccessful siege for several days had severely dampened the morale of these elite South Vietnamese troops.
After exploring the situation of the South Vietnamese Army under Busan City, Fusu and the accompanying generals returned to the outskirts of Busan City.
When he returned to the army, Fusu did not rush to attack Zhao Shi's South Vietnamese army. Instead, he hid the army in a nearby dense forest.
At noon, when the sun was scorching the earth fiercely, Fusu led his army out of the dense forest and galloped towards the South Vietnamese army outside Bushan City.
When the South Vietnamese soldiers saw a large group of people charging towards them, it was already too late to organize an effective defense. Forty thousand tigers and soldiers rushed into the South Vietnamese army like wolves into a herd of sheep, causing a bloody storm, and followed
The Qingzhang Mountain soldiers behind the Huben Army almost turned into a prisoner collection brigade.
The momentum outside Bushan City even alarmed the defenders in Bushan City. When Peng Yue climbed up the tower, he recognized the Tiger and Ben troops fighting on the battlefield at a glance, so he ordered 5,000 city defenders to fight outside the city.
.
When the South Vietnamese army commander Zhao Shi saw the overwhelming force of the Tiger and Ben troops attacking his South Vietnamese army, he already knew that there was no way he could save himself, so he escaped from the South Vietnamese army camp under the protection of several personal followers.
When Zhao Shi escaped from the South Vietnamese Army camp, he happened to be seen by a group of Qingzhang Mountain soldiers, who chased him regardless.
When the war came to an end, Huben's soldiers reported the enemy's annihilation and their own battle losses to Fusu:
In this battle, more than 20,000 South Vietnamese troops were killed and injured, more than 13,000 were captured, and more than 2,000 escaped. The whereabouts of South Vietnamese commander Zhao Shi and two deputy generals are unknown.
Looking at the casualties of the Huben Army, more than 30 people were lost in this battle and 120 were slightly injured. Except for 30 soldiers in Qingzhang Mountain who were missing, no one was injured or killed.
