Chapter 77 The situation in Daqin
The first day of the battle ended at dusk.
At this time, both sides retreated and returned to the camp.
Ying Zheng moved the camp to a camp less than ten miles from Yingchuan City.
In the camp, Ying Zheng, Wei, Meng Yi, Ying Qiang, Ying Tian, Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and his generals gathered here after dinner.
Of course, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai can ignore them directly, they are cannon fodder.
Ying Zheng knelt on his head, drinking wine while scanning everyone in the tent.
"How many casualties are today?" Ying Zheng took a sip of red wine and said.
"Report to Your Majesty, today we have fought fiercely with the rebels, with a total of 11,31 Qin soldiers, of which the dead soldiers occupied 5,000, archers occupied 1,000, and the remaining infantry occupied about 5,000." Meng Yi saw Ying Zheng asking about the casualties, so he immediately reported to Ying Zheng.
After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded, thinking that just half a day of attacking the entire army caused 10,000 casualties. The era of cold weapons was really painful.
Although these rebels were not as good as their Daqin soldiers, the other party relied on Yingchuan City as a supporter and blocked the attack.
"How many casualties are there in the rebels?" Ying Zheng knew that it was impossible to know exactly how many casualties the other party had. He could only roughly estimate it.
"The other party should have about 20,000 casualties."
"Yeah, that's not bad." Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the result.
Having said this, Wei Lao said.
"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that it is best to fight and decide quickly with the rebels. Because the remains of the six countries are rebelling one after another, we cannot delay too long. If we wait until they unite together, we will not have an overwhelming advantage at that time. Moreover, according to the news that the scouts came back, there are still 200,000 rebels in Chen County, and there are also a group of rebels led by the military ministers to Handan in Zhao.
In addition, there is also a rebel Wu Guang leading the attack on Xingyang and advancing west along the Yellow River, hoping to open the road leading to Xianyang. Another route was led by Song Liu and headed to Nanyang Kouwu Pass. Finally, there is a way that we are fighting now, Zhou Wen of Yingchuan City!”
After hearing what Wei Li said, Ying Zheng agreed to a quick battle and decisive decision, because there were too many rebels.
Not to mention how Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's rebellion are developing now, just the rebellion mentioned just now has caused Ying Zheng's headache.
Although Ying Zheng believed that the army he led would definitely be able to quell these uprisings, if it didn't work, he would ask Meng Tian to lead the army south to help quell the rebellion, but the damn Huns actually went south to attack Qiugu not long ago. And there were 100,000 Hun cavalry!
It is now early winter. Two months later, Ying Zheng dared not determine whether the Huns would continue to move south, so Ying Zheng did not want to use the troops from Meng Tian.
Another thing is that Zhang Han has been leaving for Nanyue for almost two months, why hasn’t the news come yet? This makes Ying Zheng feel an ominous premonition!
In history, Zhao Tuo would not dare to rebel, and he could not rebel against the system at that time.
But now, this time and space are different. Even the Huns can go south early, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang can bring up an uprising, so what else can't happen unexpectedly?
Ying Zheng dared not gamble!
After quelling the 400,000 rebels along Yingchuan City, they had to go straight to Chen County, and then they had to counterattack Wu Guang and Song Liu, and the martial officials who wanted to quell the rebellion of Zhao.
In this way, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang will probably be full of development by then.
Moreover, the uncertain factor of the Huns was the one that worried Ying Zheng the most.
At this moment, Ying Zheng thought that Zhou Wen and the 400,000 troops in Yingchuan City would be quickly eliminated, and then headed straight to Chen County. At that time, Wu Guang and Song Liu might be rescued. As for Wu Chen, a person with two hearts, would probably be the king, so there is no need to pay attention to him too early.
Then, you have to fight quickly!
"It's right. Now the Qin Dynasty is in chaos. Except for our mainland, the remains of the other six countries are all surging and the situation is very critical."
After saying that, Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi and said, "Meng Yi, can Yingchuan City be quickly taken down?"
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Meng Yi thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done! Unless the other party dares to go out of the city to fight, it is impossible!" Meng Yi said the truth directly that a siege method like this is impossible to fight quickly.
But this time Zhou Wen did not go out of the city to fight, so this is hard to say.
"Your Majesty, General Meng is telling the truth. If Zhou Wen's son doesn't leave the city to fight and just keeps defending the city, this battle will probably take half a month or more." Wei Yue agreed with Meng Yi's words.
"That's how..." Ying Zheng sighed after hearing this. It seemed that this battle could not be decided quickly. Should he dispatch the five hundred last aces - robots?
Wei Le, Meng Yi, and Ying Qiang were silent when they saw Ying Zheng's sigh.
The current Daqin is actually in a turmoil. If it is handled well, there should be nothing serious, but if it is handled improperly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was struggling that if five hundred robots were dispatched, they could quickly capture Yingchuan City. But after a wave, all the five hundred robots would lose their energy and enter a dormant state.
Now they are Ying Zheng’s only life-saving ace in this world. Now their businessman rings do not have energy and cannot be used as gold fingers.
"What should I do?" Ying Zheng was thinking in his heart.
Now Ying Zheng was very interested in knowing why there was no news from Zhang Han? This was the issue that Ying Zheng was most worried about.
Nanyue is a 400,000 Qin army. Although most of them are so-called local troops, the remaining tens of thousands are the elites of Qin.
If Zhao Tuo rebels, Ying Zheng will be like crying.
"Your Majesty, as long as we can quell these rebels, the remaining small rebels and the tribes of the six countries are not worth worrying about!" This was the Wei Le spoke again.
Yes, only Ying Zheng can quickly quell the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, so the next Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and those forces who want to restore the country are indeed not as critical as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
If we could quickly quell the rebellion here, Ying Zheng knew in his heart that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang would not have grown up quickly.
Then you can slowly kill them.
At this moment, Ying Zheng began to think of using the five hundred robots.
However, history is no longer the original history. At this time, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had developed rapidly.
At the same time, many things have changed.
