Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism - #211 - Chapter 211

Ying Wei walked into Nanyang City under the protection of his guards.

After a night of fierce fighting, the whole city was still filled with the smell of blood, and burnt carbon deposits and collapsed houses could be seen everywhere.

Nanyang City is much quieter than in the past. The people are hiding at home and dare not go out. Only the Qin army patrols around, continuing to look for fish that have slipped through the net.

Fake Shou Teng, who should now be called Nei Shi Teng, invited Ying Wei into his mansion. The entire mansion was guarded by the Qin army and Luo Wang’s assassins, one in the dark and one in the dark.

Meng Tian came to see Ying Wei wearing armor, and saw that the future famous general was covered in blood, and his beautiful armor was also covered in scars.

A night of fighting did not make Meng Tian any tired, but made him even more excited.

For a general, licking blood from the tip of a knife and shrouding corpses in horse leather is the life they yearn for. Only by making contributions can their existence be revealed.

“Your Majesty, General Mo has lived up to his command. After a rough calculation, the cavalry led by General Mo and the brothers in the heavy armor army killed more than 3,700 enemies in total, and the rest of the Korean army surrendered.”

Meng Tian knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

Ying Wei nodded slightly and asked:”……What are the casualties of our troops?”

Meng Tian said quickly:”…””Sixty-three”… After rough calculation, our army has a total of more than 600 casualties, most of which are the cavalry led by the last general.”

After hearing Meng Tian’s report, Ying Wei showed joy. This can be said to be a real victory..

Although the Qin army numbered 100,000, Yingwei actually only sent 30,000 people to attack the city. Only more than 7,000 people actually participated in the battle, and most of the rest were used as security troops.

Meng Tian led two thousand cavalry to raid the Korean army’s camp. Although it caused great damage to the Korean army at the first time, these Korean troops were also elite after all, and there were also warriors among them.

The Korean army’s camp was located in the city, and the terrain was not open enough for repeated cavalry attacks.

For the sake of speed, this group of cavalry did not go into battle with heavy armor, but with light armor. After the first wave of raids, the cavalry lost their mobility and their natural combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, which caused considerable damage to this group of cavalry.

But when the infantry of the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army joined the battlefield, the situation became one-sided.

The Korean army who was attacked in the middle of the night had no time to put on armor. Those armors in ancient times were very troublesome to put on.

Naturally, when facing a heavily armored enemy, if you have no armor, you won’t be able to defeat them at all.

Even though the cavalry led by Meng Tian suffered considerable damage, the overall casualty ratio was still one to seven, especially since the entire Nanyang Korean army surrendered. Now the combat effectiveness of the entire South Korea has dropped by more than half.

If it were to be an orthodox siege, the probability of Ying Wei taking these 100,000 soldiers and defeating the fortified city garrisoned by 50,000 elite Korean troops would be too low.

This city is also South Korea’s last resort and the source of its courage to challenge the Qin army.

But now that Nanyang City has been destroyed, the entire South Korea has completely lost its last protection.

Meng Tian looked excited at this time. Nanyang was South Korea’s last barrier against Qin, and it was also the biggest problem that Qin had to face when going east.

Now the Qin army almost captured Nanyang without any bloodshed. Since then, the Qin armies in the north and south have become one, and they no longer need to care about South Korea.

Now, as long as the Qin State holds Nanyang, it can attack Zhao State in the north, Wei Chu in the south, and Qi State in the east, it will have no worries!

As for Xinzheng that still existed in South Korea, Meng Tian didn’t pay attention at all. Without Xinzheng in Nanyang, it would be an isolated city.

And South Korea is small and has no strategic depth!

Li Xin stepped forward and said:”……Your Majesty, Nanyang was taken too quickly this time, and the Korean army did not react at all.”

“The granary in Nanyang is already under our control. There is no news from Xinzheng yet. There is still a steady stream of grain and grass being shipped from Xinzheng.”

“The last general believed that at this time, he should lead an army to intercept this part of the grain and grass and prevent them from being sent back to Xinzheng.”

Ying Wei thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said:”……Can!”

Meng Tian stepped forward at this time and asked for orders:”……Your Majesty, I would like to lead another army to intercept this batch of grain and grass.”

Ying Wei shook his head and said:”……Lieutenant Meng Guo, you have achieved great success this time. After another fierce battle all night, you should rest first.”

“Li Xin, send someone to intercept this batch of grain and grass. You can take charge of the specific matters yourself.”

“Due to Ji Wuye, South Korea has a grain shortage in Nanyang this year. In order to protect Nanyang, the grain in the granary was shipped from Xinzheng”

“As a result, Xinzheng will inevitably be empty inside. As long as our army besieges Xinzheng, the people of Xinzheng will be in panic and it will be difficult to resist our Qin State.”

Meng Tian was slightly disappointed when he heard Ying Wei’s order.

It can be seen from Chang’an Lord’s order that Chang’an Lord trusted Li Xin more than himself.

Chang’an Lord trained Li Xin as a handsome man and asked him to order his generals to march. , and he is only a general for the time being.

But Meng Tian soon became excited. This time he has made great achievements, and he will definitely be able to lead an army in person in the future, from Meng Guowei to Meng General.

Moreover, the order of the emperor is also No problem, I should take a rest after a fierce battle all night. If I continue to grab credit, I will only arouse the dissatisfaction of my colleagues.

“Here!”

Li Xin knelt down on one knee and raised his hands in response, looking very excited.

Lord Chang’an would only issue some strategic orders, but the specific implementation was all done by him personally.

Now Li Xin can also do it without Ying Wei’s authorization. Mobilize 50,000 Pingyang heavy armor troops. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

From a commander of thousands, he became a general with a large army in just a few months, and he was also the most elite in the Qin State. One of the troops, how could Li Xin not be excited?

A soldier died for his confidant. For the cultivation and trust of Lord Chang’an, Li Xinxin secretly vowed to follow him to the death to repay the Lord’s kindness.

Ying Wei thought for a moment, shouted:”……Someone come!”

Immediately, the Luowang assassin knelt on the ground, waiting for Ying Wei to issue an order.

“Get pen and paper!”

An attendant brought a pen and paper, and Ying Wei wrote the content on the paper, sealed it with lacquer, and said to the person who caught the snare:”……You send this credit to Xianyang as quickly as possible.”

After finishing speaking, Ying Wei explained to many subordinates:”……In addition to announcing the good news, this letter also asked the king to send another general to lead an army of 100,000 to cut off the road from Xinzheng to Qi.”

When many generals heard this, they understood what Ying Wei meant after a moment’s thought, and secretly thought that it was powerful.

Chang’an Lord’s move almost completely cut off the road to South Korea. As soon as this order was issued, South Korea was bound to perish……….

South Korea claims to have an army of 200,000, with the most elite guarding Nanyang against Qin, 50,000 guarding Xinzheng, and a hundred thousand guarding Qi and other countries in the east.

Although the 100,000-strong army was not very effective in combat, it was still quite large in number.

Although if Xinzheng is besieged and the 100,000-strong army comes to rescue, Qin can wait for work and encircle the points to provide reinforcements.

But all tactics are relative. What if South Korea suddenly explodes under the pressure of national subjugation, and the inside and outside cooperate to break through the siege of Xinzheng?

Moreover, even if South Korea does not explode, there will be casualties in the battle between the two sides. Qin’s goal is not to destroy South Korea, but to destroy the six countries. It must preserve as much strength as possible.

Now, another 100,000-strong army will be mobilized from Qin to block the Korean army. When Xinzheng cannot hold on, the 100,000-strong Korean army will have no choice but to surrender without a fight.

As the Lord of Chang’an, Ying Wei would not do anything to boast about Haikou, and he did not need to prove his victory by defeating the majority with a few people. He had already proved himself by winning Nanyang.

Since he can mobilize an army of 200,000, why should he use 100,000?

The battle is all about national power, and no trickery or tricks are as good as an upright army crushing it with absolute national power.

At this time, Ying Wei said to Nei Shiteng again:”……You have been a liar in Nanyang for many years, and the people here trust you.”

“The next pacification work will be left to you. This time the Qin army has enough food and grass, and they have seized a large amount of food and grass sent from Xinzheng.”

“Due to Ji Wuye, the grain harvest in Nanyang is poor this year. I allow you to use that batch of grain and grass to appease the people and demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of our Qin State.”

“I will leave another 20,000 soldiers to help you defend the city and guard the surrendered soldiers.”

This is also the reason why Ying Wei needs Qin to send more people. He can’t transfer all the 100,000 troops to Xinzheng, regardless of Nanyang.

Especially there are so many surrendered soldiers in Nanyang, all of whom are the elite of the Korean army. There are not enough With a large number of people guarding them, it is easy for trouble to occur.

After dividing the troops in this way, although Ying Wei’s available troops are enough, they are still a bit stretched.

“Here!”

Nei Shi 4.3 Teng responded loudly. At this time, Nanyang City was defeated, and he was completely relieved. He no longer had to worry about the safety of his family.

He understood that what he had to do was to do a good job in logistics, complete his responsibilities, and wait until the war in Korea was settled. , he can then go to Xianyang and take office.

It’s a little exciting to think that he, just a fake governor of Nanyang, South Korea, will become the history of Qin Dynasty!

“Soldiers need to be quick, so there is no need to delay. The army will rest in Nanyang for a day and set out for Xinzheng tomorrow!”

Ying Wei stood up, waved his hand and said.

The casualties of the heavy armored army were very small, almost negligible. Wang Yan’s subordinates completely surrendered to Ying Wei, which made Ying Wei have command over this army.

This time it was so… Many people have made great contributions, and not only can they be promoted to nobles, but they can also receive land as gifts. Naturally, most of the soldiers are sharpening their swords and wish they could destroy Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.

For most ordinary soldiers, they have never been I never thought that I could be a high official, but the land given to me after my meritorious service can be passed down forever. It is the foundation of a real family!

Just when Ying Wei was marching into Xinzheng, an urgent court meeting was also held in the Xinzheng palace..
