The most powerful fool system

　For example, the so-called siege tactics of besieging three ques and one is like this.

　This kind of combat thinking is mainly to worry that if the enemy is surrounded, it will be a last stand in despair.

　At that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to wipe out the enemy army, but will be overthrown by the enemy instead. There are too many examples of such battles.

　On the contrary, it is better to give the enemy a glimmer of hope to escape, and they will not be so desperate.

　Wars of annihilation with cold weapons are basically won by siege tactics.

　This is mainly the result of the limitations of weapons in the era of cold weapons.

　After all, it is not that simple to kill a person in ancient cold weapons warfare. It is not like using hot weapons and snapping your fingers to kill thousands or hundreds of people.

　On the battlefield of ancient cold weapons, a veteran of hundreds of battles fought hard and fought until he was exhausted. Killing dozens of people was basically the limit.

　Another reason why the ancients fought mainly to defeat was the reason for soldiers.

　Most of the soldiers in ancient times were recruited from ordinary peasants, and then trained as soldiers. They took weapons to be soldiers, and put down their weapons to become farmers.

　It's not like a soldier in the true sense now, as a separate profession.

　As a result, these soldiers would basically not actively think about returning to their previous troops once they were defeated.

　Moreover, most of these soldiers in ancient times had very low loyalty. They served as soldiers for the purpose of earning money and food.

　This is also the reason why, once an army of hundreds of thousands was defeated in ancient times, it was basically difficult to gather up later.

　It is precisely because of this that in ancient times, only the enemy army needs to be defeated is a great victory, and it is difficult for the enemy to gather all the soldiers who have fled in all directions.

　Even, if more than one-fifth of the soldiers who were defeated and fled could be regrouped, that would be very powerful.

　Because, instead of expending energy to quickly disperse soldiers, it is better to recruit new recruits directly. Ancient soldiers are basically consumables.

　Therefore, at this time, there were a lot of Xiang Jun soldiers fleeing from Hangu Pass to the surrounding directions, mainly concentrated in the east and south directions.

　After all, Hangu Pass is to the west, and it is impossible for Xiang Jun's soldiers to be so stupid as to throw themselves into the trap.

　With the Yellow River to the north, they had no choice but to flee east or south.

　It is precisely because of this that Xiang Yu was able to regroup 3 people in a very short period of time after fleeing to Shan County in the east.

　Xiang Yu, who was staying in Shan County, heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that the Qin army had not continued to pursue him, and then asked the doctor to heal himself urgently.

　This time, Xiang Yu made a strong breakthrough, even though he was superb in martial arts, and even broke through the bottleneck, his martial arts went one step further.

　But after all, he is still a body of flesh and blood. He still suffered a lot of injuries during the fight, and he was just holding on.

　Now that his situation is safe for the time being, he can't hold on any longer, he must find a doctor to bandage and heal his wounds, otherwise his life will be in danger if time drags on.

　At the same time, Xiang Yu, like Long and the others, immediately sent his cronies to go south to look for Long and them.

　As for the other ordinary soldiers, Xiang Yu could regroup as much as he could, and he couldn't force it.

　But loyal subordinates like Long Qi and Ying Bu who followed him are the foundation for Xiang Yu's comeback, and they must be found.

　While Xiang Yu was busy healing his injuries, reuniting the rout, and looking for his lost subordinates, the Qin army also cleaned up the battlefield, escorted the captured Xiang soldiers, and returned to Hangu Pass in victory.

　Then, Xu Feng ordered a celebration banquet to be held at Hangu Pass to celebrate this unprecedented victory and boost the morale of the Great Qin soldiers.

　In fact, it was not easy for them to win this battle, mainly because the enemy was too strong.

　And the victory in this battle is tantamount to directly pulling Da Qin back from the edge of the precipice of extinction, and giving Xu Feng a chance to breathe.

　Moreover, at this time, the army and people of Great Qin need such a big victory to boost morale and people's hearts.

　When Xu Feng ordered to celebrate at Hangu Pass, Li You also sorted out the casualties of the Qin army and the results of the battle, and reported it to Xu Feng.

　"Your Majesty, in this battle, our army suffered a total of 380 casualties, of which 730 were killed, and the rest were wounded.

　Among the wounded, there were more than [-] seriously injured, and probably no more than half of these soldiers would survive.

　Those who survived could not continue to fight.

　The rest are all slightly injured, and they can return to the team after recovering from their injuries. "

　Li You told Xu Feng in detail about the casualties of the Qin army in this battle, his face was a little heavy, and the casualties of the Qin army were not small.

　"Well, I got it. Li Aiqing, you have compiled the list of the fallen soldiers. When you return to Xianyang, I will ask the prime minister to arrange to send money and food to the families of the fallen soldiers.

　In addition, I will ask the prime minister to arrange for those soldiers who survived serious injuries. They have contributed too much to Daqin, and Daqin will not treat them badly. "

　Xu Feng said solemnly.

　Xu Feng couldn't make up for those soldiers who died in battle, he could only make up for their families.

　But Xu Feng had to compensate those veterans who survived serious injuries and disabilities.

　After Xu Feng came to Daqin, he saw with his own eyes outside Xianyang City, a village full of old people with missing arms and legs.

　The old men from Daqin who lived there with missing arms and legs were all survivors of severe injuries and amputations by Daqin soldiers in the past.

　However, those disabled old people are still working hard every day, and the court did not let them support them, and their lives are a bit bleak.

　At that time, when Xu Feng saw that scene, he almost cried on the spot, feeling sad for these Great Qin veterans.

　Therefore, afterwards, Xu Feng directly allocated a batch of money and food to support these disabled veterans, so that they no longer have to work hard every day.

　This time, when the Qin army defeated Xiang Yu, there would inevitably be many disabled veterans like this, and Xu Feng must take care of them.

　After Li You reported the casualties of the Qin army, he began to report the results of their battle, which was what Xu Feng was most concerned about.

　"Your Majesty, the results we have achieved in this battle can only be described as brilliant.

　In this battle, our army wiped out more than 12 rebels, captured more than [-] people, seized [-] shi of grain and grass, more than [-] horses, and [-] chariots..."

　At this moment, Li You's voice trembled a little. This was indeed an unprecedented victory.

　Since the Great Qin's decline, it has always been defeated repeatedly, and even the two main armies of the Qin Army have been destroyed. How has it ever won such a big victory!

　"Haha, good, good!"

　After Xu Feng heard the results of the battle, he also stood up excitedly and shouted loudly.

　"Feng Xiao, send someone back to Xianyang to tell the prime minister the news of this great victory, and let the prime minister tell the people and inspire the hearts of the people."

　Xu Feng said happily to Guo Jia.

　"promise."

　"Li You, go down and compile a list of the soldiers who have made contributions in this war and present it to me, and I will reward them heavily.

　In addition, you are in charge of arranging tomorrow's celebration banquet, and I want to reward the three armies. "

　Xu Feng was very happy at this time, waved his hand, and said proudly.

　"No, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle it well."

Chapter 75

　75 When the flags and drums were silenced, Liu Bang withdrew his troops

　[New book please recommend for collection! 】

　In the next two days, Xu Feng rewarded the three armies at Hangu Pass, and at the same time secretly dispatched spies to find out what happened to Xiang Yu after he retreated.

　Xu Feng was worried that Xiang Yu would not be reconciled to this failure and make a comeback, so he couldn't be careless.

　And a few days later, Xiang Yu, who led his army to retreat to Luoyang, also sent out scouts to inquire about the movement of the Qin army in the direction of Hangu Pass.

　Xiang Yu also heaved a sigh of relief after learning that the Qin army at Hangu Pass showed no signs of going east in a big way.

　In fact, Xu Feng's worries here are completely superfluous.

　At this time, Xiang Yu has a lot of troubles.

　While he was busy reorganizing his troops and reuniting people's hearts, he also had to deal with the reprimands sent by King Huai of Chu, so how could he have the energy to attack Hangu Pass again.

　What's important is that after this big defeat, among Xiang Yu's allied forces, many leaders of the remnant forces of the six countries also lost their troops and lost their generals, and they were all busy with their own small calculations.

　These people did not obey Xiang Yu's orders as much as before, and they were all trying to increase their own strength.

　Ever since, after the Battle of Hangu Pass, the Qin army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Xiang Yu was busy regrouping in Luoyang. Both sides died down, and the east became calm.

　But at this moment, on the west side of Xianyang, things were not peaceful.

　Just at the Hangu Pass, when the Qin army defeated the Xiang army and won an unprecedented victory.

　On the 27th, Liu Bang also led an army of [-] troops to the city of Xianyang. After persuading him to surrender to no avail, Liu Bang decisively ordered to attack the city.

　At this time, there were only less than [-] Qin troops in Xianyang City, but fortunately they were supported by tall city walls.

　In addition, in the hands of the Qin army in Xianyang City, there are a small number of bed crossbows and a large number of bronze arm crossbows at this time.

　These crossbows are very effective in defending the city, and they have caused great damage to the soldiers of Liu Jun who attacked the city.

　Therefore, Liu Bang led the army to storm Xianyang City for two days, but failed to attack, so Liu Bang had to give up the siege and instead besieged.

　However, just when Liu Bang stopped attacking Xianyang, they also received news of Xiang Yu's fiasco at Hangu Pass.

　When Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and others heard the news, they were also very surprised and couldn't believe it.

　"How is it possible? Isn't Xiang Yu's army more than 40? Hasn't the main force of the Qin army been wiped out by Xiang Yu long ago?

　Under such circumstances, how could Xiang Yu be defeated at Hangu Pass?

　Could it be that Hu Hai was really the faint king who had led the tens of thousands of Qin troops to Hangu Pass before defeating Xiang Yu's 40 elite?

　What are you kidding. "

　Sitting in the handsome tent, Liu Bang said loudly with an expression of disbelief.

　Of course Liu Bang couldn't believe the news.

　You know, the more than 40 troops under Xiang Yu's command were the 20 Great Wall Army that destroyed Wang Li, and the 30 Prisoners Army of Zhang Han, the two main armies of the Qin Army.

　Even Liu Bang had envied Xiang Yu countless times in his heart. The fact that his subordinates could master such a huge and elite team already had the strength to aspire to the top of the world.

　On the Qin army's side, with all their efforts and calculations, they can gather another 10 horses, led by a foolish king himself. In Liu Bang's view, ten Hu Hais are not Xiang Yu's opponents.

　Originally, Liu Bang thought that it was only a matter of time before Xiang Yu broke through Hangu Pass.

　That's why he was so anxious to lead the army from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, eager to conquer Xianyang, just to win the king of Guanzhong.

　But now, the news they received told them that Xiang Yu had suffered a disastrous defeat at Hangu Pass. It was like someone telling them that the sun had risen from the west.

　"This matter is indeed a bit unbelievable. I wonder if the source of this news is reliable?"

　Xiao He also had the same idea as Liu Bang, said, and then looked at Zhang Liang.

　Zhang Liang has always been in charge of Liu Bang's intelligence work, and the scouts under Liu Bang's command are all under Zhang Liang's jurisdiction.

　Feeling Xiao He's gaze, Zhang Liang said, "The source of the news is correct. This news is probably true. I've already had someone confirm it again. There will be new news soon."

　After Zhang Liang finished speaking, the handsome tent suddenly fell into silence, and everyone looked dignified.

　Because, whether it is Liu Bang, Xiao He, or Zhang Liang, they all understand what this news means to them.

　After Xiang Yu's defeat at Hangu Pass, it will directly affect the war on their side.

　After all, the Qin army defeated Xiang Yu at Hangu Pass, and could return to Xianyang at any time.

　Once the Qin army returns to aid at that time, it will not be a question of whether they will attack Xianyang City, but a question of whether they can withdraw to Hanzhong smoothly.

　"His grandma, that guy Xiang Yu is too useless, why was he defeated by that stupid king Hu Hai!"

　Fan Kuai said angrily.

　"Pei Gong, if this news is true, three days have passed since the Qin army defeated Xiang Yu at Hangu Pass.

　I'm afraid at this time, when we receive this news, Hu Hai at Hangu Pass should also receive the news that we have reached the city of Xianyang.

　If Hu Hai leads the army back to aid Xianyang, our chance to conquer Xianyang has already been lost.

　We're afraid we'll have to withdraw our troops. "

　At this time, Cao Shen stood up and proposed to Liu Bang.

　"What? Withdrawal? Cao Shen, what nonsense are you talking about.

　Don't you know how much effort we spent fighting from Hanzhong this time, and how many soldiers died?

　Now that Guan Ying and Wang Ling are still recuperating, you want Pei Gong to withdraw his army, do you feel sorry for Guan Ying and them?

　Cao Shen, you coward, I misunderstood you. If you are afraid and want to leave, just leave.

　We are not afraid of Qin Jun. If that kid Hu Hai dares to lead the army back, he will solve it with him. "

　Hearing that Cao Shen proposed that Liu Bang withdraw his troops, Fan Kui was furious, stood up and cursed at Cao Shen.
