Chapter 134: Abandoned Sons and Increased Troops (Second update, please subscribe)

　　From noon to evening, although the Xiongnu kept attacking the city, they never caused much harm to the Yanmen defenders who had a lot of famous generals to help them.

Under Yue Fei's perfect defensive command, the Yanmen Army suffered only 500 casualties on the first day of the city defense battle, but the Xiongnu suffered 3,000 casualties. The casualty ratio of 1:6 really shocked a lot of people's attention.

If Yue Fei commanded the regular army to achieve such a record, there would be nothing surprising. However, it should be noted that Yue Fei only relied on a group of recruits who had been trained for three days to achieve a casualty ratio of 1:6. This can definitely be regarded as a miracle. .

Because of the attention of the young master Qin Hao, Yue Fei was promoted very quickly. Just a few days after joining the Yanmen Army, he became the general who commanded an army of 7,000 to defend Yanmen Pass. With such a dazzling aura, it is indeed easy to attract jealousy.

There was also a group of people in the Yanmen Army who were waiting to see Yue Fei's joke, but Yue Fei slapped those people hard with the facts.

After this battle, no one in Yue Fei's army was dissatisfied. After all, his record was there. Even if he was the lord and young master, he might not be as good as Yue Fei in commanding a group of new soldiers.

As for the sudden withdrawal of the Xiongnu, Yue Fei felt a little baffled. He was obviously ready for a night battle, so how could he withdraw at the drop of a hat?

As Yue Fei expected, Huchuquan originally wanted to attack the city overnight and was not prepared to give the Yanmen Army a chance to breathe, but was stopped by Yuv Luo before issuing the order.

Night fighting is an act of hurting the enemy first, hurting oneself first. The biggest losses are caused by the siege. Although Yuvluo does not care about the lives of ordinary soldiers, the losses suffered at Yanmen Pass are too heavy, which is not conducive to the implementation of his subsequent plans. It is important to know that Yuvluo does not care about the lives of ordinary soldiers. What Fulo wants is not just Yanmen County, but the entire Bingzhou and even the world.

However, it was Yu Fuluo's womanly kindness that gave the Yanmen defenders a chance to breathe, and at the same time caused Huchuquan to miss the best opportunity to seize the pass.

  In the first day of the city defense battle, the Yanmen Army did seem to have an advantage, but that was only because the Yanmen defenders were in the best condition on the first day, both in terms of physical strength and fighting spirit.

Even though the Xiongnu's whole-day siege did not cause too many apparent casualties to the Yanmen army, it actually consumed a lot of physical strength of the Yanmen defenders.

The Huns had an army of 100,000 as their backing, and used turn-based siege tactics. The combat effectiveness of the siege team was always at its peak.

But there are only 7,000 Yanmen defenders. Although they are guarded by Xiongguan, their consumption is definitely not as high as that of the Xiongnu.

 As time goes by, the physical strength of the defenders decreases and the number of casualties increases. It will become more and more difficult to defend the city and the casualties will also increase.

But these were all expected by Qin Hao. He and Wang Meng wanted this kind of effect, so they left so many people for Yue Fei.

The more brutal Yue Fei's defense at Yanmen Pass becomes, the more real the illusion that Yanmen Pass is empty of troops, and the greater the possibility that Yu Fulo will fall into the trap.

In order to let Yu Fuluo fall into the trap, Qin Hao has begun to use any means at all costs. The seven thousand defenders at Yanmen Gate are Qin Hao's bait to lure Yu Fuluo's 100,000 troops into the trap.

 …

In the large tent of the Huns' central army, Yuvluo sat on the main seat with a ferocious face and said nothing. The atmosphere in the big tent was extremely solemn.

After a long time, Humphrey finally asked: "How many people were lost?"

Huchuquan's face looked a little ugly, and he responded stiffly: "Three thousand." "Where is the Yanmen Army?"

　　…“…less than five hundred.”

"Trash, all trash!" Yuvluo smashed the wine glass in his hand angrily and roared at Huchuquan: "A hundred thousand troops can't take down Yanmen Pass, which is defended by thousands of people. What use do you have?"

After a day of observation, Yuvluo finally understood that there were not even 10,000 defenders at Yanmen Pass, only six or seven thousand at most.

Like Yanmen Pass, an ancient pass with six or seven thousand people guarding it, and ten thousand people guarding it are completely different concepts.

 Because there are not enough troops to fill it, it is simply not enough to fully exert the power of the war machine of Yanmen Pass. And for a large fortress like Yanmen Pass, if you want to ensure that it is impregnable, it must not be less than 10,000 people.

If the defense power of Yanmen Pass can be fully utilized, it can at least withstand a force ten times our own for a month.

But if the garrison is less than 10,000 and has to face an enemy force that is ten times as large as one's own, there will be obvious defense loopholes. As long as the loopholes are targeted, it is not difficult to break through within two or three days!

Huchuquan did not explain Huchuquan's reprimand, but just lowered his head in shame. After all, he was indeed commanding the siege and the losses were so great. This is an indisputable fact.

"Chanyu, please calm down." King Youguli stood up and begged: "The failure to capture Yanmen Pass this time is not entirely to blame on the wise king. Yue Fei's ability to defend the city is even better than that of Gao Shun. I The army was unprepared and careless about the enemy. It was indeed unjust to lose."

"Yes, although Yanmen Pass was not captured this time, it was not without gain. At least we found out the strength of the Yanmen Army. With only six to seven thousand defenders, it would only be a matter of time before our army captured Yanmen Pass. Why should Shanyu be in such a hurry?" King Zuo Guli analyzed it unhurriedly, and after hearing this, Yufuluo's face finally became a little better.

At this time, King Yougu Li suddenly interjected: "Chanyu, I encountered such fierce resistance at the first dangerous pass of the Huns going south. After Yanmen Pass, there was Guangwu, and then there was Jinyang. The defensive power of these cities Although it is not as good as Yanmen Pass, if the Han people continue to defend it, it will still cause us a lot of trouble, and Qin Wen will return to the army soon. "

Yufro couldn't help but fell silent for a while. The news of Qin Wen's return to the army invisibly put great pressure on Yufro. Over the years, he had played against Qin Wen dozens of times, but he had never won once. Qin Wen had already Became his inner demon.

After Yuvluo pondered for a while, his blurred eyes gradually became firm, and he said slowly: "It seems that one hundred thousand cavalry is still not enough to capture the entire Bingzhou. The order of Shan Yu is to quickly transfer two troops from Monan. Ten thousand cavalry and twenty thousand servants came to join the battle."

 The servant army is a collective name for the troops sent by the tribes attached to the Huns to cooperate with the Huns. However, their combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of the Huns, otherwise they would not be conquered by the Huns!

“What, we need more troops?” Huchuquan exclaimed.

In addition to the 40,000 troops that have been lost, the Yanmen Army has already invested 140,000 troops in this battle. After transferring 40,000 troops, that is 180,000 troops. Although 40,000 of them are servants of the Huns, they still occupy Most of the Xiongnu's strength.

Just for an illusory goal, but risking the fate of the Huns, is it really worth it? Huchuquan felt a little shaken in his heart.
