Chapter 974: Siege and Reinforcement (2)
"Mengwolf, how is the morale of the Blue Wolf Legion?" Huang asked tightly.
Meng Wolf patted his chest and said proudly: "General, don't worry!" There won't be any problems with the morale of our Blue Wolf Legion! ”
Huang nodded in satisfaction. Then he frowned and asked, "Meng Wolf, how many capable fighters do you still have in your Blue Wolf Legion?" ”
Meng Wolf replied: "There are more than 30,000 people!" ”
Huang couldn't help but be surprised, "It's only 30,000!?" ”
Meng Wolf nodded, and said with some distress: "I fought with the Spartan legion of the Romans before, and lost more than 7,000 people!" Today there was a fierce battle with the Wei army, and the losses were almost 10,000! I can't imagine that the combat power of the Wei army is so strong! But that's fine! If there were no such opponents, wouldn't our Jin Guojun be lonely! ”
After Meng Wolf retreated, he looked at the sand table and frowned, he was very not optimistic about the current battle situation.
At this time, the cronies of Huang came in, this Krench is also a white man, with the process of the Jin country's conquest of the West, identify with the later Mongolia, a large number of whites or Central Asians also joined the military and political government of the Jin country, and some are still in high positions!
"Your Excellency, General!" Kronch bowed to Akira.
Huang raised his head and asked, "Do you say that it is very unwise for us to hold on to this city and be the enemy of the two great powers, Rome and Great Wei?" ”
Krench hesitated for a moment, "Your Excellency, General, I personally think this is an unwise move, but since this is His Majesty's order, we don't have to think too much about it!" ”
Huang said with a worried face: "What you said makes sense, but I can't help but think about it!" If we make any mistakes, I'm afraid that the entire empire will be in danger! ”
Krench couldn't help but frown.
"No! I must explain to Your Majesty the situation here! "Shake out the unequivocal tunnel.
The Great Tent of the Wei Army.
"Meng Qi, how many men and horses did our army lose today?" Cao Cao frowned and asked.
Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "Today, the Western Regions Legion lost more than 10,000 people in one day, and the Second Legion lost more than 10,000 people in battle!" However, the people of the Jin Kingdom did not take advantage of it in the slightest! ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel distressed, and muttered, "Just one day to pay such a heavy price!" ”
After a moment of silence, he looked up and asked, "What is the situation with the Romans?" ”
"The Romans attacked the Western Gate today, and the price paid was no less than that of our army!
Cao Cao pondered: "If we continue to fight like this, even if we defeat Nisa, our army will pay an extremely heavy price!" And even if Nissa is defeated, the benefits that our army can get are really limited, and the cost is simply disproportionate"
Cao Cao was silent, and the needles in the big tent could be heard.
Cao Cao stood up, and the generals immediately looked at Cao Cao with their chests held high.
Cao Cao said categorically: "If we can defeat the Jin **** in Nisa City in one fell swoop, although our Great Wei Empire can't get anything in front of us, the Jin Empire is bound to decline, which is very beneficial to our Great Wei Empire!" We can take the opportunity to set out the Northern Fortress to cut off the connection between the Jin Kingdom and the eastern tribes in one fell swoop, so as to further weaken the Jin Kingdom and consolidate the rule of the North and Northeast at the same time! ”
"Summons Chang'an, the first army and the fifth army are all transferred by me! At the same time, the cabinet was ordered to make every effort to deal with the war that may escalate indefinitely, and important areas in the country were put on alert, and the cabinet was solely responsible for what to do! ”
The generals under the tent looked at each other, they didn't expect Cao Cao's attitude to turn 180 degrees and start a full-scale war against the Jin State.
"Generals, go down and prepare for war immediately!"
The generals came back to their senses, hurriedly agreed, and then rushed out.
The Wei army and the Roman army attacked for three days in a row, and although they broke through the first wall many times, they were all forced out by the Jin army relying on the location of the second city wall and fortress.
"Your Majesty, our army has lost nearly 60,000 people, including 50,000 in the Western Regions Army and 10,000 in the Second Army, this is only a loss in three days, if this continues, even if our army captures Nisa, I am afraid that it will pay an extremely heavy price!" Yan Yan inspected the report with a worried face.
Cao Cao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Although I have decided to start an all-out war with the Jin Kingdom, I don't want to suffer such a loss!" ”
Cao Cao walked quickly to the sand table, looked at the terrain on the sand table and asked, "Where are the reinforcements from the Jin people?" ”
Zhao Yun immediately pointed to a jungle terrain more than six hundred miles north of Nissa and said, "According to the information fed back by the scouts this morning, the 500,000 reinforcements of the Jin people should have arrived here!" ”
The jungle area that Zhao Yun refers to is still in the territory of Jinguo, and there is a lofty mountain range more than 400 miles south of this jungle, which is now the most famous Alborz mountain range in northern Iran, which stretches in northern Iran, covered with snow all year round, and this mountain range also hides the deepest cave known in the world.
This mountain range is a natural barrier between the Jin Kingdom and Hua Thorn Zimo, only a few gorges can be crossed, Huang Hu out after the attack on Hua Thorn Zimo also left 50,000 horses here, although the number is not much, but with the help of the geographical advantage here, it is not difficult to block thousands of troops and horses.
"It is estimated that the other party's reinforcements will be able to cross the Great Mountain of Huathornzim (that is, the Alborz Mountains) in half a month, and by then, the strength of the Jin people in Nissa will exceed one million!"
Zhao Yun himself felt a little frightened, not because of anything else, but because he had never heard of a real million-level army, although there were many records of millions of wars in military books and history books, but everyone knew that the content was basically exaggerated.
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Our 100,000 main force will arrive in at least twenty days!" If we wait until the reinforcements of the Jin people arrive in Nisa City, our army will face even more pressure! Although these Jin reinforcements are all local armies and tribal coalition forces with weak combat strength, there are 500,000 people after all! It's better to be able to separate these two forces! ”
Cao Cao's heart moved, "Besiege the city and send reinforcements!" ”
Cao Cao immediately carefully observed the terrain north of Nisa, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were many places suitable for ambushes by large armies between the mountains of Harazm and Nisa, such as a hilly area more than 20 miles north of Nissa City, which was an excellent place for ambushes by large armies.
"Someone, bring me General Seth from Rome!"
Soon after, Seth hurried to the Wei army's tent.
After Cao Cao discussed with the event for a while, Seth left with a happy look on his face.
After that, the Wei army and the Roman army did not storm Nissa as they had done in previous days, but adopted the tactics of encircling and ignoring it.
"What the hell are they trying to do?" Akira was very confused.
"I don't think they dare to fight!" A haughty general opened his mouth.
On the side, the leader of the Blue Wolf Legion, Meng Wolf, scolded: "It's nonsense! Do you think the warriors who can stand up to my blue wolf legion will be afraid! ”
The general was immediately stunned.
Huang sat down on the handsome seat, frowned, and said, "I have a very bad premonition!" I feel that the cunning Wei people are engaged in a conspiracy! (To be continued.) )
