Chapter 343

"Pick up the stone and hit it for me!"

On the Tongguan pass, ran Minjun picked up stones and kept throwing them down under the shouting of officers.

Under the customs clearance, the Qi Huo army and the di nationality army raised their shields, and the flow of people rushed to the high ladder to climb up the city.

Looking down from Guancheng, the long and narrow road below is crowded with attacking Shijie Zhao army, and beyond the long and narrow mountain road are tens of miles of enemy barracks.

After the division of Ran min, there are more than 300000 people in the Qi Huo army. Although most of them are old and weak, they can make up 60000 or 70000 strong men.

Fu Hong vowed to recapture Guanzhong and called on the Di people all over Shijie.

The Di people in Guanzhong couldn't get out. After repeated massacres by ran Minjun, they retreated to the southwest basin (Tuyuhun), leaving only a small number of cavalry to harass Guanzhong.

It's hard to calculate the number of Di people who listened to Fu Hong's call from outside Guanzhong. Nearly 400000 Di people gathered under Fu Hong six months ago, followed by large and small groups of Di people.

"What news did the people who contacted the Han army get back?"

"Some news has been sent back again and again, but... Even if the king of Han is willing to support, I'm afraid the far water can't save the near fire!"

Look at the ran Minjun above Tongguan. They have been pursuing the unification of military uniform, but it is really difficult to do due to the limitation of productivity. They not only couldn't get together their military uniforms, but the crowd below was so crowded, but they could only smash stones, not shoot arrows, not the general who commanded the battle. It was purely that ran min army had no arrows!

"The king of Han Dynasty has defeated Yao Yizhong in Jinan County, forcing Yao Yizhong to break through at any cost. The war from Jinan county to zhu'a county has blocked Yao Yizhong's defeat in a narrow and long terrain?" Dong Cun is a member of Queen ran min's family. He is now the Deputy General of Ran's Qin State in Tongguan. The main general of Tongguan is Shen Zhong. He didn't know much about the Han army. He smiled bitterly: "even if the Han King annihilated the Qiang army, what good will it do for us?"

The season has entered the late summer, and autumn will enter in more than a month.

The situation in the Central Plains is extremely hot. It doesn't matter whether the season is suitable or not. It's like the war between the Han Army and the Qiang army along the South Bank of the Yellow River, the pass attack and defense war between the ran min army and the qihuo army and the di army at Tongguan, and the nomadic war between the Qiang nomadic tribe and the Zhang Liangguo on the northwest grassland, Jingzhou landed on the North Bank of the Yangtze River in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and tried to seize the part of Jingzhou that fell into the hands of Zhao state in Shijie

There are five large-scale wars, and there are countless small-scale wars. Because of the erosion of the national power of the state of Zhao in Shijie, there are soldiers everywhere, and the slogans are all strange and difficult to describe. What is more recognized is the effect caused by the "Three Kings alliance", which is the resistance that the Jin people really can't live under the oppression of the Hu people.

In fact, there was no shortage of Jin people to revolt against the Hu people, but it was difficult to start a prairie fire. It's very sad to say. No matter what the Jin people resist or who resist, Shijie always sends the suppression army with Jin as the main force. A large number of young Jin people are consumed in this kind of suppression war, whether they are suppressed or suppressed.

The Han army defeated Yao Yizhong in Jinan county with less than 100000 troops. Although the war left a tail in zhu'a County, the news of Liu Yan's defeat of Yao Yizhong caused no less than a magnitude-7 earthquake.

Yao Yizhong is the chief of the largest ethnic group in the world. Five or six million Qiang people obey his orders. Yao Yizhong also has a reputation for being good at fighting. He is also widely praised for his integrity.

Yao Yizhong, who took more than 500000 people bravely to enter Qingzhou, was annihilated by Liu Yan in less than a month. Most of the less than 50000 cavalry broke through to zhu'a county. When I arrived in zhu'a County, I was stopped by a Han General named Huan Wen. How sad should I be.

The total number of the two belligerents exceeded 600000, and they fought with cavalry, infantry and navy. It turned out that the victory or defeat occurred within a month. The time was so short that everyone who heard the news was stunned.

"The king of Han is really powerful!" Lang Xiao, the right servant of the state of Qin of the ran family, said with admiration on his face, "a year is a time period for such a large-scale battle. The king of Han Dynasty even established the victory in less than a month."

The Qiang cavalry who followed Yao Yizhong to successfully break through the siege to zhu'a county was less than 50000. The troops left in the camp by Yao Yizhong either died or surrendered. I heard that the Han Army had defeated and captured most of the people who had previously retreated to the North Bank of the Yellow River. Then it was really that the Han Army had achieved amazing results in killing and capturing 500000 people in less than a month.

On the same side of Guanzhong, where there is no war for a day, the nearly 150000 ran min army relies on Tongguan and Xiaoguan to block an absolute number of enemy troops of about 700000... Er, the number is 700000, but the number that can really fight is 200000 to 250000, but the number of 700000 enemy troops sounds really frightening.

Hundreds of thousands of troops set out to fight is not an exception. Hu people are used to the old and children following the young and strong. The old and weak women and children graze in the rear to provide food, and the young and strong fight and plunder in front; In addition to the war soldiers, the Chinese civilization did not have auxiliary soldiers, but a larger number of civilian men. In fact, the number of people directly involved in fighting in each war should only account for less than 20% of the direct services provided for the war, and the rest are used to maintain the logistics line.

According to the statistics of the state of Qin of the ran family, the number of people they achieved in Tongguan and Xiaoguan in the past six months should be 50000 to 70000. If the uncooperative people in Guanzhong, including Di people, Qiang people, Jin people and zahu, were included, it was only about half a year since the founding of the state of Ran min, and the total number of people they killed would not be less than 300000.

"When will the latest batch of arrows be transported?"

"As soon as half a month later."

Compared with the Han Army, ran Minjun has always been in a lack of everything, especially arrows.

The state of Ran's Qin is too short. Because of the wanton war in Guanzhong, it is basically in a state of erosion. It can be regarded as a capable person under ran min's command to restore some agricultural production, but the production that needs craftsmen can not be solved with one effort.

The production of arrows is not easy. Apart from having a qualified arrow shaft, the production of arrowheads involves more resources and processes. The state of Ran Qin calls on all people in the rear to serve the war, but only about 70000 arrows can be produced every month.

Seventy thousand arrows sounds like a lot. In fact, it's enough to support a medium-sized battle. For example, in the battle between Liu Yan and Yao Yizhong in Jinan County, the number of arrows consumed at least one day exceeds 120000. If the war is fierce, it is normal to consume more than 200000 arrows a day.

Of course, the army that dares to take one or two hundred thousand arrows every day is definitely not much. That should be something that can be done with amazing national strength. It also depends on how many crossbow soldiers there are. One round of volley of 10000 crossbow soldiers is 10000 arrows, and ten rounds is 100000 arrows. It is impossible to suppress a war from a distance only ten times a day. It is almost ten times a day. How many archery should it be when the days grow?

It must be noted that the crossbow may be easy to practice. After all, it is a fool's mechanical weapon operation, but the manufacture of the crossbow is not easy; Then there is the archer. Being able to shoot does not mean that you are a qualified archer. Learning to shoot is only the basis. You should be able to execute every instruction before you are a qualified archer.

Seriously speaking, crossbow men in the cold weapon era have always been regarded as elite. It is not difficult to understand that they would rather sacrifice five ordinary infantry than save one crossbow man.

"The king is discussing with Sikong and others that he is willing to pay a high price to obtain finished arrows or arrowheads from the king of Han." Shen Zhong was the first lieutenant of the state of Qin of the ran family. He had just arrived from behind the pass. As soon as he came, he said such a big news: "there are many water armies under the command of the king of Han. We intend to take advantage of this."

There is a water system directly connected to Guanzhong from Qingzhou. At present, there are not many sections of the Yellow River that can't go boating or boating. If Liu yanken pays some price, it's not a ridiculous idea to use the Yellow River to exchange needs with ran min. The problem is that the Qingzhou reach of the Yellow River to Guanzhong is nearly 2000 miles away in the area controlled by the state of Zhao in Shijie. How much will it cost to make use of the Yellow River.

"The king is also trying his best to negotiate with Li Shi. If the river course of the Yellow River is confirmed to be unusable, go along the line from the Yangtze River to the Lingqu." Shen Zhong is definitely in favor of maintaining a good relationship with Liu Yan. He said cautiously: "it is inevitable that the king of Han defeated Yao Yizhong and the Ministry of Han established the country."

They previously called Liu Yan king of Qi, and the following parties met in Xiami League. Ran min first renamed Liu Yan king of Han, and Zhang Liangguo was the second. In addition to the ran Qin State and the Zhang Liang state, only the Tuoba Dai state also calls Liu Yan king of the Han Dynasty. There are all the rest, but none of them calls Liu Yan king of the Han Dynasty.

The truth is that Liu Yan's reconstruction of the Han state is really put on the desk. It is determined that after Yao Yizhong is solved, the founding ceremony will be held in the middle of the autumn.

The country name of the Ministry of Han must be Han, but the specific reason is that the tribal name is Han or whether it should inherit the western and Eastern Han Dynasties. Liu Yan himself didn't say it, and the rest don't know how to speak if they want to ask.

There are only a few reasons for the establishment of a country.

One is the location. For example, before, everyone thought that Liu Yan Jianguo should be called the state of Qi, because Liu Yan's territory is in Qi.

Then, it is based on its own title. For example, if someone is the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, the later country is based on the Tang Dynasty.

Taking the country name from the region and title is a matter of etiquette. Similar country names or King names are generally recognized by the people under the rule. For example, when people in a certain place see that the country name is their hometown, they will feel "Oh, it's this, that's their country". Naturally, they will have a sense of belonging.

In addition to taking the country or King's name by region and title, occupy a mountain, or occupy a corner, claiming to be the God King, the devil king and the invincible King... Anyway, there are some groundless country or King's names. A similar situation is the grass king. Generally speaking, the Cao tou king has no regional recognition and no origin. There is a saying in the book of changes and Yin and yang to explain that the similar Cao tou King's rapid destruction involves the theory of Qi and fortune.

The ancients believed that all things have spirits and that there is luck. Then Liu Yan insisted on taking Han as the country's name, which is not involved in the region, so there is only the theory of inheriting the national luck.

"Our country's name is Qin, which is not only a regional relationship, but also an inheritance of the national fortune." Shen Zhong said in confusion, "they... Probably inherit the national fortune?"

There are not many people who can understand Liu Yan. What he wants to inherit is not a national fortune, but a spirit.

Dong Cun didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand. What he was most concerned about was: "will they attract Shi Hu when they founded the country into the Han Dynasty?"

"Yao Yizhong failed too soon." Shen Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "if the war is deadlocked, Shi Hu will pass. Now he has the greatest chance to lead his army to our side!"

Shi Hu summoned more than 300000 people of the Jie nationality to prepare for the war. The most terrible thing is that they are ready to go.

Everyone is paying attention to where the stone tiger will go, especially the Dragon Guard is also in the battle sequence, and there is a newly established Donggong Gaoli. No one wants the stone tiger to target himself.

"The king asked us to defeat the invading enemy quickly, but..." Shen Zhong sadly pointed to the enemy outside the pass and said, "we have tried to attack outside the pass, but the effect is very limited!"

Even if the 700000 enemy troops attacking Guanzhong have only more than 200000 combat power, it is not what the ran Qin state can eat in the field. Ran min army is not a Han army. The weapons and armor of the Han Army are excellent. The Han Army has endless arrows. The weapons of Ran min army are not complete, let alone armor. Even the number of arrows has always been insufficient.

Ran Minjun's high-level leaders such as the city tower were talking. Suddenly, they heard people shouting "attack" outside, and their bitter smiles dispersed.

There is no arrow to suppress, just relying on throwing stones can not stop the attacking enemy. Recently, the enemy has attacked the city wall more and more times, and ran min army has repeatedly paid a heavy price to drive the enemy down.

Thanks to the long and narrow terrain of Tongguan or Xiaoguan, even the number of enemy troops who can attack the city wall will not be too large. If the city is located in the plain, it will be a big deal.

Once again, he killed the enemy who attacked the city wall, but ran min's army did not cheer, but looked extremely tired and numb.

"Insist, we must insist!"

"If the pass is broken, none of our family will survive, so we must hold on!"

There is nothing wrong. Ran Minjun slaughtered the disobedients in Guanzhong. If the two passes were lost, let alone how the qihuo army would treat ran Minjun, Fu Hong, whose people were slaughtered wantonly, must have carried out fierce revenge.

The ran min Army soldiers guarding the pass are no longer simply serving the king. They have no choice but to stick to it, whether for their own or their family's small life, until the turning point appears.
