Chapter 262 Strong generals gathered in Hulao Pass
Chapter 261: Strong generals gathered in Hulao Pass
Dong Zhuo asked Hua Xiong to serve as the commander of the cavalry to prevent Qin Hao from seizing military power. Qin Hao directly accepted it to tell Dong Zhuo that he was not interested in military power.
Dong Zhuo, who had the greatest resistance, agreed to hand over the cavalry command power. Liu Yu and Ding Yuan naturally would not disagree. After all, the unified command of the cavalry can indeed maximize the combat power.
"Then I will send Xuande to lead the cavalry under my command to help my nephew." Liu Yu said with a smile.
"I sent Fengxian to lead the cavalry to help my nephew with his help, and you are familiar with each other."
Ding Yuan did not know that Lu Bu was trying to seize the merits, and Qin Hao did not spread it to the outside world, so the outside world, including Ding Yuan, believed that "open decline and secret rise" was because of this contribution.
Lu Bu had fought side by side with Qin Hao before, and after returning, he also praised Qin Hao very much, so Ding Yuan was relieved to ask Lu Bu to assist Qin Hao.
Among the generals present, Qin Wen had the richest experience in defending the city, and although the cavalry did not have the richest experience in fighting Qin Hao, the record of the "Battle of Yanmen Pass" was indeed too amazing, so naturally no one questioned Qi Qinhao''s command ability, not to mention that Qin Hao was also Liu Hong''s son-in-law, so he didn''t look at the monks and Buddha''s face.
Qin Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. If Dong Zhuo and others disagreed, he really had no choice. Fortunately, everything was going in a good direction.
This time, Qin Hao not only took over the command of 50,000 cavalry, but also received help from several generals. Before the end of the decisive battle, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and Hua Xiong were under Qin Hao''s subordinates.
"Let me tell you about the arrangements for defending the city. The father commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief of the city, and the 100,000 troops will be divided into four groups. You will take turns to defend the city, changing defenses every five days."
The cavalry command power has been taken away, and Qin Hao is not good enough to rob the remaining military power. He can only let Dong Zhuo and others command the headquarters to take turns to defend the city. The Yanmen Army is all cavalry and does not need to defend the city, so the fourth batch of defenders is naturally the Hulaoguanyuan defenders.
Even if Dong Zhuo is picky, he can''t find any faults, so naturally no one will have any objections.
"But nephew, the Yellow Turban has a million troops, and we only have one hundred thousand. The disparity in troops is so huge. Can we really defend Hulao Pass?" Ding Yuan asked with some concern.
Qin Hao could not answer this question, so he could only look at his father with help. Qin Wen smiled at this and said, "Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it is even more dangerous than Yanmen Pass. One hundred thousand defenders are enough. Before leaving, Your Majesty promised Wen that if the loss of troops is too large, it will definitely make up for our losses."
Qin Wen''s words completely dispelled all the concerns in everyone, especially Dong Zhuo.
Since there are all reimbursements from the superiors, what are you afraid of? Let''s fight with all your heart!
"Brother Bo Ren once used his weak troops to repel the Huns'' attacks eleven times. Now the Hulao Pass is much better than Yanmen Pass, so I, Ding Jianyang, have a hundred people to guard Hulao."
Ding Yuan looked completely confident in Qin Wen. Qin Wen felt a little embarrassed to see Ding Yuan praising him like this.
"Brother Jianyang, you can''t say that, this situation is completely different!"
"well…"
Seeing Qin Wen’s modestness, Liu Yu smiled and joked, “Brother Bo, you’re too modest, you’re so proud!”
"hehe!"
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "There are more than 300,000 troops behind our army as support. With Hulao Pass, a heroic pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with Bo Ren, a famous general who is good at defending. It seems that this battle has become invincible!"
“Brother Zhongying said it!”
"Haha, I will win this battle!"
Qin Wen shook his head helplessly when he saw this, and Liu Yu and others laughed happily, extremely optimistic about the decisive battle. Qin Hao saw that everyone was so optimistic, and he couldn''t bear to attack, but he had to say something, so he interrupted, "There is something Qin Hao must remind you all."
Everyone was stunned. We are praising your father. Are you not giving your father a little face if you pour cold water at this time?
However, considering Qin Wen''s son who was sabotaging the situation, he was patient and came to listen to Qin Hao''s later words.
"When Qin Hu returned after chasing the defeated army, he happened to bump into Xiang Yu who broke out, but Xiang Yu was rescued by the Mo family. This shows that the Mo family has decided to help the Yellow Turbans."
Everyone smiled calmly when they heard this, and they all looked solemn.
Although Qin Hao''s news was not a bolt from the blue, it was also very bad news.
The Mohist school is good at making weapons. If it helps the Yellow Turban, it will definitely create a large amount of siege equipment for it. Even if Hulao Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will definitely suffer heavy losses in the face of thousands of siege weapons.
"I''m in trouble. Since the Yellow Turbans have the help of the Mo family, defending the city will definitely be a hard battle."
Although Qin Wen is very confident in his city-defense technique, it depends on his opponent. The Mo family was unintentionally a opponent that made Qin Wen shaken.
"No, Hulao Pass has no catapult. If the Mo family helped the Yellow Turban build the catapult, the consequences would be unimaginable." Qin Wen said solemnly.
The catapult is a relatively unsolvable engineering equipment. If the catapult is suppressed in the direction of defending the city, there must be a catapult.
Liu Yu finally stopped blindly optimistic and asked anxiously: "What should I do?"
Qin Wen took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Haoer, you prepare, and then return to Luoyang to report the truth about His Majesty Hulao Pass, and let Luoyang drive a catapult cart. I hope it will be too late."
The catapult carts appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, but later, with the Han Dynasty dismissing all schools of thought and a large number of documents were lost, and no one in the Han Dynasty gradually understood how to make catapult carts.
After all, the skilled craftsmen who truly know how to make are all from the Mohist and the craftsmen. If your Han Dynasty forces the entire school to the death, how can they help you make weapons?
However, there must be some methods for making catapults in the Han Dynasty. I just don’t know if the Gongshu can be made. After all, the technical content of catapults is still relatively high.
After the meeting, Qin Wen left Qin Hao alone before leaving and smiled and said, "Haoer, you are more mature than before."
Qin Hao sighed: "People always need to grow up! By the way, the child has a gift to give to his father."
"oh?"
Qin Hao handed Taia behind Qin Wen, but Qin Wen did not answer, but instead shook his head and smiled: "Hao''er, you can go into battle and kill the enemy, and the Ming Jian can only throw the pearl in the hands of your husband."
Qin Hao shook his head and said, "Father, look carefully."
Qin Wen took it in confusion, and after pulling out Taia, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he trembled all over and said, "Taia!"
"Do my father like this gift?" Qin Hao asked with a smile.
Qin Wen returned the sword and laughed: "I like it, I like it so much, Hao''er, you are intent."
