Chapter 208 (1/2)
”The king's personal instructions: Minister, Wang Fu, the general of Hangu pass, has led 100000 officers and men of Hangu pass to hold on for nearly ten days since the day when the Allied forces of all countries approached Hangu pass to attack Qin Dynasty.”
”In the past ten days, the enemy's offensive has been strong and continuous day and night. With the help of the natural danger of Hangu, our army has wiped out at least 250000 enemy troops through bloody battles, but our army has also suffered heavy casualties.
”According to the statistics at the end of the war, the number of casualties of the garrison at Hanguguan pass in Daqin has exceeded 70000. The city wall is damaged, 80% of the crossbows are consumed, more than half of the powerful crossbows are used up, rolling wood, thunder and stone are exhausted, medicines are in short supply, and doctors are in short supply!”
”But the Allied offensive continued, and reinforcements could not wait for a long time. Now our army is in a desperate situation!”
”But as the saying goes, there will be no intention of death, and the scholar will not steal his life!”
”If I could be strong with the flesh and blood of my ministers, I would have no regrets for my death if I had the idea of fighting with my family blood!”
”Therefore, the Minister Wang he wanted to lead all the fighting soldiers of Qin army in Hanguguan to launch a decisive charge against the enemy at dawn and fight to the end with the United Army.”
”I know very well that I have to bear the great trust and the cultivation of Daqin. I have committed a serious crime. Please don't blame me!”
”A hundred thousand generals and men from Wanggu pass and Hangu pass have written their last words!”
Wang Dan sat quietly on the tower of Hanguguan and read it, while Gan Mao did it word for word, all of which were recorded on bamboo slips.
”Gan Mao, how many soldiers do we have to fight?”
Wang Yi Dao.
”Reply to the general, after ten days of persistence, our army has suffered more than 70000 casualties, including more than 10000 heavy and severe wounded soldiers, and about 16000 soldiers can be fought!”
It was said that there were 100000 valiant and angry lions in Hangu pass, but now there are less than 30000 wounded soldiers. Wang Fu and many Qin generals are silent.
”In the Central Plains war, the casualties are too heavy!”
He sighed for a long time.
”General, do it!”
”Yes, general, I've made a lot of money by fighting with the coalition forces, killing one is enough and killing two is not.”
”We will follow the general to the death. Give orders, general!”
”General, give orders.”
At this moment, many generals of the Qin army are all fighting with high morale, and they are asking for blood to fight to the end.
And Wang Dan was finally unable to help, and decided to agree with the big hand.
”Well, ladies and gentlemen, gather together all the fighting soldiers of the Qin army.”
”finally, let the officers and soldiers eat a full meal, burn all the remaining grain and grass, destroy all the catapults and surplus bows and crossbows, and fight the Allied forces to death at dawn tomorrow.”
If there is a nation, then sacrifice
After listening to the general's words, many Qin generals cheered loudly and showed their firm thoughts.
”If there were brothers on the road to huangquan, what would be the regret of Wang's death?”
Wang Jian said with a bow to all Qin generals.
”Gan Mao, this general orders you to take out 2000 soldiers from all the available soldiers to protect the wounded soldiers of the Qin army back to China.”
”We must remember that we should not withdraw to Guanzhong after retreating from the eastern counties of Daqin.”
”Because once Hangu pass is lost, the war will burn through the whole Guanzhong area, and the people in the pass will be tarnished. The retreating troops of Qin army will also be overtaken by the United forces.”
”Tell them to evacuate to Bashu or the northwest grassland as soon as they leave the nearby counties, and do not evacuate to Guanzhong!”
”Because once Guanzhong is occupied, the land of Bashu and the northwest grassland will become the foundation of the rise of the Qin Dynasty.”
”What's more, these retreating troops are also the last kindling of our Han Valley Qin army.”
At the end of the day, not only Wang Dan, but also many generals of the Qin army also sighed.
……
After a few hours, the sun rose slowly from the end of the horizon, the dawn from the sky, shining on everyone's face, soft halo appeared on everyone's face, with a breath of vitality.
”Chun Shen Jun, Xin Ling Jun, don't you want to lead the army to fight?”
