Chapter 134: Abandoned son and the increase in troops (please subscribe for the second update)
From noon to evening, although the Huns kept sieging the city, they never caused too much damage to the Yanmen defenders with a bunch of famous generals.
Under Yue Fei''s perfect defensive command, the Yanmen Army killed only 500 casualties on the first day of defending the city, but the Huns suffered 3,000 casualties. The 1:6 casualties really shocked a lot of people.
If Yue Fei commanded the regular army to achieve such a record, there would be nothing surprising, but it should be noted that Yue Fei only relied on a group of new recruits who had been trained for three days, but he scored a casualty ratio of 1:6, which could definitely be considered a miracle.
Because of the importance of the young master Qin Hao, Yue Fei''s promotion speed was very fast. He became a general who led the seven thousand troops to defend Yanmen Pass in just a few days after joining the Yanmen Army. Such a dazzling halo is indeed easy to attract jealousy.
There was also a group of people in the Yanmen army waiting to see Yue Fei joke, but Yue Fei slapped those people with the facts.
After this battle, Yue Fei was dissatisfied with the lieutenant general. After all, the record was there. Even if the lord and young princess, commanding a group of new recruits might not be as good as Yue Fei.
As for the sudden evacuation of the Huns, Yue Fei felt a little puzzled. He was clearly ready for a night battle, so how could he evacuate at will?
As Yue Fei expected, Hu Chuquan did want to attack the city overnight and was not going to give the Yanmen army a chance to breathe, but was stopped by Yu Fuluo before the order was issued.
Night battle is an act of hurting the enemy and hurting oneself first. The biggest loss is the siege. Although Yu Fuluo does not care about the lives of ordinary soldiers, the damage at Yanmen Pass was too severe, which was not conducive to the implementation of his subsequent plans. It should be noted that what Yu Fuluo wanted was not just one Yanmen County, but the entire Bingzhou and even the world.
However, it was Yu Fuluo''s wife''s kindness that gave the Yanmen defenders a chance to breathe, and at the same time made Hu Chuquan miss the best time to win the pass.
The Yanmen Army did take advantage of the battle on the first day of the city defense, but that was only because the Yanmen Army was in the best condition on the first day, both physical strength and fighting spirit.
Although the Huns'' siege for a whole day did not bring too much casualties to the Yanmen Army, it actually consumed a lot of physical strength from the Yanmen Army.
The Huns had a hundred thousand troops as their backing and used the rotational siege tactics. The combat effectiveness of the siege team was always at its peak.
But the Yanmen defenders only have 7,000. Although they are protected by the heroic pass, the competition consumption is definitely not as good as the Huns.
As time goes by, the physical strength of the defenders will decrease and the number of casualties will increase. It will become more and more difficult to defend the city and the casualties will become greater and greater.
But these are all what Qin Hao expected. This is what he and Wang Meng wanted, so he left some people for Yue Fei.
The more tragic Yue Fei was guarding Yanmen Pass, the more realistic the illusion of empty troops at Yanmen Pass, and the greater the possibility of Yu Fuluo being trapped.
In order to get Yu Fuluo to be trapped, Qin Hao has already begun to do anything. The seven thousand defenders at Yanmen Pass are the bait that Qin Hao lured Yu Fuluo''s 100,000 troops to be deceived.
…
In the Huns Central Army''s tent, Yu Fuluo sat upright in the main seat with a ferocious expression and said nothing. The atmosphere in the tent was extremely solemn.
After a long time, Yu Fuluo finally asked, "How many people have you lost?"
Hu Chuquan''s face looked a little ugly, and he responded bluntly: "Three thousand." "Where is the Yanmen Army?"
“…less than five hundred.”
"Waste, all waste!" Yu Fuluo angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand and roared at Hu Chuquan: "The 100,000 army cannot afford the Yanmen Pass, which is defending thousands of people. What''s the use of you?"
After a day of observation, Yu Fuluo could understand that Yanmen Pass had no even 10,000 defenders, and at most it was only 6,000 or 7,000.
A heroic pass like Yanmen Pass, six or seven thousand people guarding the pass and ten thousand people guarding the pass, but it is completely different from the same concept.
Because there is not enough force to fill it, it is not enough to fully exert the power of the war machine Yanmen Pass. If a large fortress like Yanmen Pass wants to ensure that it is solid, it must not be less than 10,000 people.
If the defense of Yanmen Pass can be fully utilized, it can at least resist ten times its own troops for one month.
But if the defenders are less than 10,000 and have to face an enemy that is ten times more than one, there will be obvious defense loopholes. As long as the loophole is targeted, it will not be difficult to break the barrier within two or three days!
Hu Chuquan didn''t explain Yu Fuluo''s reprimand, but just lowered his head in shame. After all, he was indeed commanding the siege this time, and the losses were so great. This is an indisputable fact.
"Shanyu please calm down." King Youguli stood up and pleaded: "It is not entirely true that he did not take down Yanmen Pass this time. Yue Fei''s command ability in the city is higher than Gao Shun. Our army is neither prepared nor careless, and he is very worried about his rival. He is indeed not unfair to defeat him."
"Yes, although Yanmen Pass was not captured this time, there was not no gain. At least we could find out the truth of the Yanmen Army. Yanmen Pass, which had only six or seven thousand defenders, was only a matter of time before our army captured. Why should Shanyu be anxious for a moment?" King Zuo Guli analyzed it slowly, and Yu Fuluo''s expression finally improved a little after hearing this.
At this time, King Youguli suddenly interrupted, "Shanyu, the first dangerous pass for our Great Huns to the south was encountered such fierce resistance. There was Guangwu behind Yanmen Pass and Jinyang behind. Although these cities were not as defensive as Yanmen Pass, if the Han people continued to defend the enemy to the death, it would still cause us great trouble, and Qin Wen was about to return to his army."
Yu Fuluo couldn''t help but feel silent when he heard this. The news of Qin Wen''s return to the army invisibly added great pressure to Yu Fuluo. He fought with Qin Wen dozens of times in recent years, but he never won once. Qin Wen has become his inner demon.
After Yu Fuluo pondered for a while, his blurred eyes gradually became firmer, and he said slowly: "It seems that 100,000 iron cavalry is still not enough to take down the entire Bingzhou. He ordered this Shanyu to quickly transfer 20,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 servants from the south of the Mo to join the war."
The Servant Army was sent by tribes attached to the Huns and was a general term for the joint combat forces following the Huns. However, its combat effectiveness was much weaker than that of the Huns, otherwise it would not have been conquered by the Huns!
"What, you still need to increase your troops?" Hu Chuquan exclaimed.
In addition to the 40,000 army that had been lost, the Yanmen Army had invested 140,000 troops in this battle. In order to transfer 40,000, that is 180,000. Although 40,000 of them were the servants of the Huns, they still occupied most of the strength of the Huns.
Just for an illusory goal, but bet on the fortunes of the Huns. Is it really worth doing this? Hu Chuquan''s heart swayed a little.
