Chapter 605
Chapter 6 and Six: Soldiers Lining in Mei County

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on March 23, in the early morning, after a night of bloody battle, Deng Jun finally took down the Qin Army camp. There were nearly 2 casualties, but all of this was worth it, after taking down the Qin Army camp.Deng Jun entered Guanzhong without hindrance.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Jing was searching carefully. This is the big tent of Geng Yue, the chief general of the Qin army. Maybe there will be some maps about the distribution of soldiers and horses of the Qin army in Guanzhong, but unfortunately, things backfired. Li Jing did not find something.

At this time, Jia Xu brought a group of generals to the tent of the Chinese army. Jia Xu said to Li Jing: "General, the entire camp has been controlled by our army. Geng Yue and the remnant soldiers have fled far away. Before Yue left, he wanted to burn the food and grass in the camp, but our army broke through before it had time. All the food and grass hoarded by the Qin army here were captured by our army, and also captured [-] elite Qin soldiers. "

Li Jing nodded. This time the surprise attack came very suddenly, and the Qin army had no time to react. If this could allow Geng Yue to burn the food and grass and retreat calmly, then all the generals of the Deng army would be able to die and apologize. With the addition of the elite ten thousand Qin army and those who were beheaded, at least more than 1 Qin troops were annihilated in this battle. That is to say, Geng Yue took more than 1 people away at most.

"How about the casualties of our army?" Li Jing asked. It is important to destroy the number of Qin troops, but the casualties are the most important. After all, after entering Guanzhong, if you want to have greater gains, your own troops should not be too small. .

Li Siwen replied: "Back to the general, our army killed more than 4000 people and injured more than [-] people during the night attack. Including yesterday's daytime casualties, our army's casualties were close to [-]."

"Twenty thousand!" Li Jing felt a little distressed when he heard the words. The 2 people are [-]% of Deng's army, and now they only conquered one camp. There are still many strong cities to be conquered in Guanzhong .

"Don't be sad, the general. After taking down the camp of the Qin army, our army's way into Guanzhong is already unimpeded. Next, we only need to wait for the arrival of the general Hussars, and our army can march into Guanzhong in a large scale." Jia Xu said.

Li Jing nodded, and then asked: "By the way, where did Geng Yue lead the remnants of the Qin army?" Half of the Qin army's soldiers and horses escaped, and Li Jing was most concerned about where these soldiers and horses went. It is related to Deng Jun's next war deployment.

Fu Youde replied: "Back to General, according to reports from the spies, after Geng Yue led the remnants of the Qin army to retreat, he went straight to Mei County. I think Geng Yue wanted to stick to Mei County."

Li Jing nodded and said: "This is also expected. After passing the praise ramp, our army's next target is Mei County. As long as we get Mei County, our army can separate the east and west of Qin State. I planned to take down Mei County as quickly as possible after taking down the Qin army camp, but unfortunately our army suffered too many casualties in this battle, and we didn't have enough troops to take down Mei County. Now Geng Yue led the remnant troops to retreat to Mei County, the current Mei County is not something we can conquer, we have to wait for reinforcements."

"General, it is gratifying to be able to take down Mei County, but it is already a great achievement to be able to conquer the camp of the Qin Army. As for Mei County, let's wait until General Hushi leads the Wudang Guards." Jia Xu also He could see the unwillingness in Li Jing's heart. After all, if he could take down Mei County in one go, then Tianwuwei would undoubtedly be the first in the battle to destroy Qin. It would be a pity to miss it.

"The military advisor is right. This general is greedy!" Li Jing smiled and said, "Forget it, we can't let our Tianwuwei take all the benefits. Send someone to report the victory to the general Hussars, and at the same time ask the army to lead the army. Go north and enter Guanzhong."

"Here!" Jia Xu responded.

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on March 25th, in Hanzhong County, Nanzheng City, in the camp of the Deng Army, Li Siye had just received the good news from someone sent by Li Jing. After that, he was overjoyed, and of course sent someone to call back the Wudangwei who had besieged Sanguan. Since the Qin army's line of defense was torn apart, there was no point in continuing to attack Sanguan.

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on the third day of the fourth month, Li Siye led the Wuang guards to Li Jing's residence.

After everyone came to the big tent of the Chinese army together, Li Siye asked Li Jing: "General Li, the Tianwuwei was able to conquer the Qin army's camp so quickly and opened up the praise ramp. The casualties are not small. How many soldiers can go to the battlefield."

Li Jing replied: "Back to the general, after a period of rest and recuperation, the number of soldiers in the military guard today is 2." 1 people died in the battle, Deng Jun died on the battlefield less than [-] people, and the others were only injured to varying degrees. Excluding those who were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, Tianwuwei still had at least [-] soldiers who could fight .

Li Siye nodded. This number is still within an acceptable range. He is really afraid that Li Jing will suffer more than half of the casualties in order to conquer this camp. You must know that this time, Commander Li Siye only sent 10 troops to the north to Wudangwei and Tianwuwei. If the losses are too great, even if they enter Guanzhong, it will be difficult to last for a long time. Now there are [-] soldiers and horses at full strength, which is barely enough.

"General Li, where is the Qin army now? How many troops are there?" Li Siye asked again.

Li Jing replied: "Back to the general, when the last general stormed the camp, Geng Yue, the chief general of the Qin army, knew that he was invincible, so he led the remnant soldiers back to Mei County in advance. Now there are about [-] to less than [-] Qin troops in Mei County. The last general of the Qin army planned to take down Mei County in one go, but the soldiers and horses in his hands suffered too many casualties, and the force was not enough to threaten Mei County, so we had to wait for the arrival of the general."

"General Li is very good at doing this. Guanzhong is the land of Qin State. Our army is fighting in a foreign country. We must be careful every step we take, and we must not rush forward." Li Siye agrees with Li Jing's approach. Although the benefits of taking Mei County are obvious, if If the halberd is broken in Mei County, it is easy to cause a blow to morale, not to mention that Mei County is already the hinterland of Guanzhong. If there are too few troops there, it is easy to be surrounded and killed by the Qin army.

Li Siye thought for a while, and said to everyone: "Although Mei County is not an important town in Guanzhong, it is a must-take place for our army. Guan and Henan counties have mobilized all the soldiers and horses except the Xiliang garrison. It can be said that the hinterland of Guanzhong, including Chang'an, is very defenseless. As long as our army can take down Mei County, we can go east. Threatening Chang'an, even if you can't take Chang'an City, you can force the Qin army in Henan County or Wuguan to return to the army. At that time, the generals or the soldiers and horses of the generals can enter Guanzhong, and at the same time they can intercept them. The Xiliang Qin army rescued Chang'an, so next, our army will try its best to take down Mei County, even at all costs."

Mei County is in the middle of Fufeng County, and its geographical location can be said to be insignificant in the whole Guanzhong, but for Deng Jun, it is a must-fight. Li Siye's idea is to win Mei County at all costs.

"Great General, please give an order!" Everyone said in unison.

Li Siye looked at the map, thought for a while, and said, "According to the intelligence reported by the spies, Geng Yue brought at least 5 troops to Qinchuan this time, and General Li Jing only wiped out more than 1 Qin troops here. The rest of the Qin army is still deployed in other places. The soldiers and horses of Ziwu Road can be ignored. Ziwu Road is far away from Mei County. Now that our army has entered Guanzhong, Geng Yue will not take the risk of letting the soldiers and horses of Ziwu Road come to Mei. In the county, it is very likely that they will be sent back to Chang'an City, which is empty of troops, but the Qin army, Chang Mao and Yue Lei who have passed through the pass will obey orders!"

"The last general is here!" Chang Mao and Yue Lei, the generals of Wudangwei, stepped forward and responded.

"The general ordered you two to lead the troops to attack Chencang westward, and intercept the Qin army in Sanguan to rescue Mei County. It would be best if you can defeat the Qin army in Sanguan. "Li Siye said.

"Here!" Chang Mao and Yue Lei responded.

"The rest of the generals will follow this general to attack Mei County!" Li Siye said to the crowd.

"Here!" Everyone responded.

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on the fifth day of April, after a two-day rest, Li Siye led an army of 2 to go northward to Mei County. At the same time, Chang Mao and Yue Lei also led [-] troops to attack Chencang.

At this time in Mei County, Geng Yue, the leader of the Qin Army, was worried. He had full confidence in Baoxiedao's defense line, but he did not expect that Deng Jun would break through in less than ten days. The army did not follow the rules, and when gathering the corpses of the dead soldiers, they suddenly launched an offensive, which caught the Qin army by surprise, but why was it not caused by Geng Yue's negligence?Now he only has more than 1 people in his hands, and after opening the praise ramp, Deng Jun from Bashu can enter Guanzhong continuously. With this little force in his hand, it is not enough.

"General, according to reports from the spies, General Deng Li Siye has led tens of thousands of elite troops into the Guanzhong. Now the Deng Army has at least nearly [-] people. With our current strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop it." Yuan Bupo looked worried. Said to Geng Yue.

"I asked you to go to Chang'an to ask for help. How is it now?" Geng Yue asked Yuan Bupo. After arriving in Mei County, Geng Yue knew that it would be difficult to stop him with the troops in his hands. Deng Jun's, so he immediately sent someone to Chang'an to ask for help. Although Geng Yue also knew that it was difficult to get soldiers and horses in Chang'an now, but now that Deng Jun had already arrived at the door, no matter how difficult it was, he had to get out. .

But the facts disappointed Geng Yue. Yuan Bupo shook his head and said, "It's not like you don't know, General. In order to defend the line of defense and resist Deng Jun, the imperial court has sent all the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. Now There are only [-] elites left in Chang'an, and there are no soldiers to send. However, although they cannot send reinforcements, the imperial court still dispatched [-] star-killing crossbows from Chang'an. sent to Mei County before the army."

The star-killing crossbow is now the last weapon of the Qin State. It is not easy to build the star-killing crossbow, so Qin has only had [-] of them over the years. It is also the last barrier of Chang'an City. It is not easy to dispatch [-] crossbows to Mei County. However, it is more difficult to transport the Star Destroyer Crossbow, and it will take a long time. I just don't know if it can be delivered in time.

Geng Yue thought for a while, then said: "Send people to Sanguan to send a message, and order the defenders of Sanguan to quickly reinforce Mei County. As long as Mei County is defended, Deng Jun will not be able to go any further, and Guanzhong will be safe. It won't help if you break through Sanguan." Since Chang'an can no longer send reinforcements, it can only call back the soldiers and horses from Sanguan. For Guanzhong, it is useless and meaningless. Instead of wasting time in Sanguan, it is better to transfer the soldiers and horses to Mei County. If the soldiers and horses in Mei County can be withdrawn, then there will be 3 troops in their hands. , The hope of keeping Mei County has greatly increased.

"Here!" Yuan Bupo responded, and then sent someone to Sanguan to pass the news, but what Geng Yue and Yuan Bupo didn't know was that at this time, a 2-man Deng army had already rushed to Chencang to intercept the Sanguan Qin army.

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on the ninth day of April, Li Siye led an army of [-] to besiege Mei County. At this time, not only the Qin army who had dispersed from the customs could not reach Mei County, but even the [-] Star Destroyers sent by Chang'an to support Mei County The crossbow has not yet been delivered.
