Wang Changyong stood on a high ground and stared at Longshou County not far away. His eyes were full of annoyance. It had been almost ten days since he attacked Longshou, but there was no progress. He knew that General Lu Chaolu had the expectations of him, attacking Han State, and to defeat Han State, and to defeat Han State, he could no longer have the strength to look west for a long time, mainly on his way. Although Xu Yahua's troops in the middle road had more troops at Hangu Pass, he faced three reorganizations of the First Military Region of the Han Army.

It is difficult to break through the army and a complete defense network. However, Quwan's journey is too close to the Chu State. Even if there is a breakthrough, it will probably attract attacks from the Han army immediately, which will be difficult to cause too much damage to the Han State. Only by one's own way can we achieve this. Dayan County, Jishi County, and Liaoxi County are the fundamental places of the Han State. If these places are destroyed, it will inevitably cause damage to the Han State. Without more than ten or even decades, it will be impossible to recover.

The Qin State now has no strength to occupy these places. What they think is that it is enough to destroy the Han State completely.

King Wulie of Qin had already seen this when he was alive, but that battle ended with the great defeat of Qin. Li Xin and Wang Xiao died in battle, and tens of thousands of troops disappeared. This was the second attempt by Qin. Unlike the last time, this time, the main troops of the Han Dynasty were thousands of miles away from here, and even if they had wings, they could not fly. What's more, in Yingshui and Hangu Pass, they also needed more troops, enough to make them busy.

If this time succeeds, then Wang Changyong will surpass Li Xin and Wang Xiao of the past and become another general of Qin, which is enough to be famous in history.

But now, he was blocked here. Not only Longshou, Beiyu and Yaoqu were not progressing. There were not many soldiers in the Third Military Region of the Han Dynasty. Looking at the flags raised by the other side, they were actually militia reserves in Dayan County and Jishi County. The Qin people were not unfamiliar with this militia reserve. In the last Qin and Han war, the Hun cavalry led by Guli, who suffered a great loss, were the militia reserves in the Han Dynasty.

The militia reserves in the Han State are similar to those in the Qin State's entire country. The difference is that these reserves in the Han State were trained during the slack season and during the training period, the Han government paid salaries, which was simply impossible in the Qin State. This made the two sides really different in combat effectiveness in the reserve force.

The Han people allowed the people to possess weapons, and a large number of weapons eliminated from the army were sold to the people at extremely low prices. Every Han family had weapons in their households, and they couldn't even help but bow and crossbow. This was once believed by the Qin people to cause chaos in the country, but what disappointed them was that the Han country was calm and quiet. Nothing happened. The people were much more obedient than the people of Qin and Chu, but instead Qin and Chu. Even though the control was strict in recent years, riots also occurred from time to time, especially in Qin and Qin. Riots had become a climate.

But no matter how strong the reserve is, he is also a reserve! What made Wang Changyong extremely puzzled was why the reserve can withstand his attack in such a head-on offensive and defensive battle.

The snow is strong and the wind is strong, which increases the difficulty of the attack, but God is fair to both sides. The Qin army is uncomfortable, and the other party is absolutely not uncomfortable. Moreover, Wang Changyong believes that the tolerant power of the elite Qin army is definitely not the battles that are colder than those on the opposite side. What surprised him was that the first one could not stand was his subordinates. In recent days, he had to weaken the offensive to send more people out to find firewood. In heavy snow, it was not easy to find something that could burn on the prairie.

"If we don't capture Longshou and other places, we will freeze to death on the prairie." General Wang Zhijun looked worried, "General Wang, there are logistics supplies behind the enemy, and our logistics supplies are too far away to keep up with our consumption. We should only fight quickly!"

"The combat effectiveness of the opponents was beyond our expectations. I doubted that they were not reserves at all, but regular soldiers. Moreover, their tactics were always familiar, and they were different from the fighting style of the Han army!" Another general Yue Peng looked at Wang Changyong in confusion: "The trainers of the reserves of the Han army are all from active or retired officers of the Han army. Their fighting methods should be in line with the main force of the Han army, but why are the enemies in front of us not like the Han army, but rather like the tactics of our Qin army?"

"I am not worried about this, but where did the troops of Helanxiong, Zhao Xilie's troops go? If we are all reserves in front of us, where would the main forces of the Third Military Region go? General Wang, in the Third Military Region, Helanxiong has a cavalry of 5,000 people. When Zhao Xilie came, he also brought a personal army of more than 10,000 people. Where did this army go? I am worried whether they will go to copy our retreat. Once our supply line is broken, we will be in big trouble." Wang Zhijun reminded Wang Changyong.

"Don't worry, I am also a veteran soldier, why don't I pay attention to this? Gouxin and his troops are doing this. In such weather, how could they go around us and attack our supply line? In less than ten days and half a month? Gouxin and five thousand cavalry were waiting for us to get around. We are waiting for our opponents to work hard? I guess Helanxiong's main force is still hiding behind. He wants to use these reserves to grind us and drag us with us. When we are not well-logistic and physically exhausted, the main force will come out together and catch us off guard!" Wang Changyong sneered.

Yue Peng spread his hands: "But the reality now is that we are stepping into the trap he sets step by step. Our morale, physical strength, and logistics are being consumed. Now, I'm afraid Helanxiong is raising his energy. General, what should we do?"

Wang Changyong knocked on the table, "I underestimated the enemy myself, but what Yue Peng just said is indeed very strange. Yue Peng, I want to find out what kind of way to catch a few living people."

"clear."

"Zhijun, the opponent's performance is the weakest when you attack Yaoqu. I will give you more explosives and grenades. Don't be stingy with these things. As long as you win, you will have everything. If you lose, you will lose everything." Wang Changyong said.

"The General of the Imperial College understands that if we are not willing to suffer casualties, the General of the Imperial College will definitely beat Yao Qu down." Wang Zhijun nodded vigorously: "We cannot compete with our opponents for time, we need time."

Yao Qu, the person in charge of defending two militia reserves from Jishi County and Dayan County, two reserves of 5,000 people guard Yao Qu, the commander-in-chief is the provost of the Staff Department of Jishi City Military University, and the two deputy are the instructors of the command department of the Military University. These two instructors are both meritorious generals who have made many military achievements on the battlefield, and have extremely rich practical experience. "To this day, the Qin army has finally tested us.

The weakest one." The former provost, now the general, waved Zhao Youguo, and looked at his two colleagues with a smile, "The combat effectiveness of the reserve service is indeed not a little worse than that of the regular army. Next, they will definitely increase their attacks on us. Now it is the tenth day, and the commander of Helan should have almost arrived at the predetermined position, so we have to hold on for at least one to two days before the enemy can react. Two, are you confident?"

Both deputy laughed, "Brother Zhao, this heavy snow is our greatest help. The cold weather has made our city wall stronger. After the battle ended, I have ordered everyone to build the city wall three feet high with snow and water it. Before a night, it became a solid ice wall, which is definitely not inferior to the city wall made of cement. When the Qin people carried the ladder and attacked again, they would suddenly find, Oh, why is my cloud ladder shorter? Hahaha, the siege car will also be much shorter. When Mengchong car hit the city wall, they first encountered countless solid ice hoops before the city wall. Our combat power is a little weaker, but the firepower is enough to make the opponent sigh at the city." Zhou Hao, who walked down from the Donghu battlefield, laughed and had rich experience in using ice and snow to fight.

"In terms of artillery, we have sufficient ammunition, but the quality of the gunners is much worse. After all, they have basically never fired any cannons, and it is good to operate them. If you kill and damage the enemy in large quantities, you may have to rely on crossbow arrows, grenades and close-in killing of the enemy." Another commander Qian Minyi said.

"The artillery can only be allowed to be free to be used. Even if the fog can, it can be concealed, but the great men need weapons but never rely on weapons. Even if they fight face to face, we will not lose to anyone. In the next one or two days, we will face the most fierce challenge. Let's face him together." Zhao Youguo said heroically.

"Wang Jian sent someone to ask if we needed reinforcements? How can we answer them?" Qian Minyi asked.

"No, they are the main force in the next battle. They need to accumulate strength to complete the gathering and annihilation of Wang Changyong's troops with Commander Helan. Now we can withstand this battle." Zhao Youguodao.

As Zhao Youguo expected, from the next day, the Qin army attacking Yaoqu suddenly increased its offensive. Wang Zhijun fulfilled his promise, regardless of cost or casualties. From the beginning, the Qin army advanced forward with the bombardment of the explosive cannons thrown by its throwing machine. The ladder was shorter, and some of them were tied to others. They even used a large amount of explosives to directly carry out blasting operations, attempting to directly blow up the city wall. Thanks to Zhou Hao solidified the ice into ice and thickened the city wall. The violent explosion cut off the ice layer layer by layer, shaking the city wall, but he still stood proudly in front of the Qin people.
