The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 71

[Chapter 71 Offensive and defensive battles]

After Wudu County was captured by Zhong Yu, the entire Wudu County did not have much resistance.

All the soldiers and the strong were pulled to the county seat, and there were only a few dozen people in the remaining county seat, barely maintaining some security to resist the army’s attack. That was a complete joke.

So Zhong Yu separated 2,000 soldiers from the system, went to attack the remaining four counties, and cleaned the gentry by the way.

And he stayed to rectify the recruits of ten echelons who had been crippled.

After the baptism of this war, although the number of people lost is very large, all those who are not suitable for war have been eliminated, and the rest are crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood, and they are no longer unfamiliar with war. veteran.

There were originally 23,000 recruits. After this battle, there were only 15,000 of them left. The number of casualties reached 8,000, and the number of injuries reached 30 to 40%. This is already a terrifying proportion.

Generally, this kind of recruit will collapse when he dies.

If I hadn’t used those system soldiers as supervisors and pressed them behind, I’m afraid they couldn’t take it anymore and ran away.

But now their emotions are very unstable, and it takes him more than ten days to recuperate.

And the reason why he indulged their beasts in Wudu County was because he wanted to use the lives of those people to vent the fear and excitement in their hearts.

After venting all the negative emotions in their hearts, they are qualified soldiers, their minds will calm down, and they can obey their orders.

Zhong Yu knew that they all hated him in their hearts, but so what?

Their relatives are in their own hands, and their future depends on their own thoughts. Can they still resist?

After fifteen days and a half months, all the system soldiers who were sent out to clean up the rest of the county returned.

And the mood of these recruits has gradually stabilized, and they will go out again.

Each county has 200 guards, and the county seat has 800 people. In addition to the dangers of various checkpoints, the entire Wudu County has left 3,000 people. It should be enough to guard.

He also took 8,000 people away from Wudu County and incorporated them into Xiandeng’s camp to serve as cannon fodder in the war.

His own army has reached 22,000 people again, at least enough to meet the needs of the next war.

As for Wudu County, after this war and its own scourge, the population has dropped from 80,000 to the current 50,000, of which the young and strong are even less than 5,000.

Wudu County is about to go down, then his worries have been relieved, and then he will complete his strategy of capturing Yizhou.

The first step is Zitong County. Zitong County governs nine counties and has a population of more than 200,000. It is a big county!

The terrain is a long strip, from north to south, all the way down, there are many checkpoints along the way, it is the only way for Hanzhong to the hinterland of Yizhou.

The more famous levels are Jiange Pass and Mianzhu Pass.

There are countless small checkpoints, in short, it is a very dangerous county.

The army left Wudu County and went all the way down. Two days later, they reached the first county seat of Zitong County, Baishui County.

There are no major barriers in this county, so it was easily captured by myself, rested for a day, and continued south.

Then came to Hande County, there is a Xiongguan, Jiangeguan in Hande County.

However, this is not too big a hindrance, and the news of his capture of Baishui County has not spread here.

I can completely forge the illusion that the officers from Baishui County are on business in Hande County.

In this way, they cheated their city gates, and when their elite troops entered the city, they would not be able to help them.

It was the previous routine again, the city gate was easily deceived by himself, and the entire Zitong County had not experienced war for hundreds of years.

Their defense and vigilance against war can be said to have reached the lowest point in history.

It wasn’t until next year that Yizhou’s Ma Xiang rebelled and set off the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yizhou, which completely raised the vigilance of the entire Yizhou for the war.

As for now, apart from a few barbarians from a limited number of ethnic minorities, there is no major war at all.

It can be said that Yizhou has been in peace for a long time.

Jiange Pass was captured by himself in this way, leaving 1,000 people stationed in the pass.

He turned to Hande County, captured it, and then headed east to Hanshou County.

This is the easternmost county seat of Zitong County, next to Langzhong County in Brazil.

As long as I control it, then I will have the intersection of my own attack on Brazil.

Three days later, the three counties of Hande County, Baishui County, and Hanshou County in the northern part of Zitong County were captured by Zhong Yu.

The gate of Zitong County was completely opened to Zhong Yu, and the intersection leading to the hinterland of Yizhou was also opened.

In addition to leaving 2,000 guards in various places, a mighty army of more than 20,000 swept the entire Zitong County.

In ten days, the whole county was occupied by Zhong Yu.

30,000 young men were drawn from them, and they were incorporated into the cannon fodder camp again. Zhong Yu went straight down and took Mianzhu Pass.

He invaded Guanghan County, and directly attacked Luo County, its county seat.

Guanghan shakes, Yizhou shakes.

All of a sudden, the whole of Yizhou and the counties around Guanghan knew that there was a group of troops who had conquered Guanghan County and spread to the surrounding counties.

The neighboring Shu County, where the Yizhou government is located, was even more terrifying.

However, Zhong Yu would not give them a chance to react, and directly brought 50,000 people into Shu County.

The government that surrounded Shu Jun was also the government of Yizhou. At this time, there were only 5,000 soldiers in CD city.

Although these soldiers are not as vulnerable as other county soldiers, they have also experienced some wars and quelled some barbarian rebellions.

But after all, the number of people is too small. In recent years, there has been no barbarian disorder. After a few years, there has not been much training, and the skills of killing people have long since become rusty.

The number of their own is five times that of them. There is no need to play too many tricks, and they can directly crush it. I believe that even if they can support it for a while, they will definitely be able to win this city within ten days.

Another cannon fodder battalion was organized into ten teams, but this one consisted of 3,000 people.

The supervising team also changed from system soldiers to Hanzhong soldiers who survived in Wudu City last time, and the cannon fodder became 30,000 young men in Zitong County.

Countless young men with frightened faces were ruthlessly driven up by the supervising team, carrying sandbags to fill the moat.

There is a moat more than ten meters wide, and it is believed that five or six thousand people will be filled in for such a distance.

The work of filling the river from morning to afternoon was not completed until it was almost dark.

And those cannon fodder really killed more than 5,000 people, and there were mourning everywhere. Countless people who were seriously injured were lying on the battlefield.

The night passed, and there was no attack on the battalion, but it was extremely quiet until dawn, and all the soldiers slept soundly.

The next day started again, and the tragic siege began again. This time the dead and wounded soldiers were reorganized into five echelons, each with 5,000 people. This time they will face the battlefield, not the previous one. Fill the moat.
