"Pick up the stone and smash it at me" Above the Tong Pass, Ran Min Jun picked up stones and kept throwing them down under the pass under the shouts of the officers.
Under the clearance, the beggar army and the Di army, they raised their shields upward, and the flow of people flocked to the climbing ladder that was erected high and climbed up desperately.
Looking down from Guancheng, the narrow road below was crowded with attacking Shijie Zhao troops, and beyond the narrow mountain road was the enemy camp that stretched for dozens of miles.
After Ran Min's division, there are still more than 300,000 people in the begging army, although most of them are old and weak, they can still get together 60,000 or 70,000 strong men.
Fu Hong vowed to retake Guanzhong and issued a call to the people of Shijie throughout the country.
The Di people in Guanzhong could not get out, and after repeated slaughter by Ran Min's army, they retreated to Tuyuhun in the southwest basin, leaving only a small part of the cavalry to attack and harass Guanzhong.
It is really difficult to calculate the number of Di people who listened to Fu Hong's call from outside Guanzhong, and the number of Di people who gathered under Fu Hong's command half a year ago was close to 400,000, and there were still large and small groups of Di people coming in behind.
"What news can the people who contacted the Han Army come back?"
"There is some news coming back one after another, but even if King Han is willing to support, I'm afraid that the far water can't save the near fire."
Look at the Ran Min army above Tongguan, they have been pursuing the unification of military uniforms, but it is really not easy to do due to the limitations of productivity.
Not only did they not even be able to get together their military uniforms, but seeing that the crowd below was so crowded, they could only smash stones and take arrows, not arrows, and they were not stupid generals who commanded the battle, it was purely because Ran Min's army had no arrows "The King of Han has already defeated Yao Yizhong in Jinan County, forcing Yao Yizhong to break through at any cost.
The battle was fought from Jinan County to Zhu'a County, and Yao Yizhong's rout army had been blocked in the narrow terrain "Dong Cun is the maiden family of Queen Ran Min, and he is now the deputy general of the Ran Qin State in Tongguan, and the commander of Tongguan will be Shen Zhong.
He didn't know much about the news of the Han army, and smiled bitterly: "Even if the king of Han annihilates the Qiang army, what benefit will it be on our side?"
The season has entered the second half of summer, and it will be more than a month before autumn begins.
The situation in the Central Plains is extremely hot, regardless of whether the season is suitable for the battle, just like the battle between the Han army and the Qiang army along the south bank of the Yellow River, the offensive and defensive battle of the pass between the Ran Min army and the beggar army and the Di army on the Tongguan side, the guerrilla war between the Qiang nomadic tribe and the Zhang Liang State in the northwest grassland, and the Jingzhou direction The Eastern Jin Dynasty landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the direction of Jingzhou to try to seize the part of Jingzhou that fell in the hands of Shijie Zhao.
There are five large-scale battles, and countless small-scale battles.
Because the state of Shijie Zhao is erosive, there are people everywhere to raise troops, the slogan is not strange and difficult to describe, and the more recognized is the effect caused by the "Three Kings Alliance", which is the resistance of the Jin people who are really unable to survive under the oppression of the Hu people.
In fact, there was no shortage of Jin people who rebelled against the Hu people before, but it was difficult to form a spark to ignite the prairie fire.
It is very sad to say, no matter whether the Jin people rebel or who resists, Shijie will always send out to suppress the suppression army with the Jin people as the main force, and a large number of Jin people are consumed in this kind of suppressive war, whether they are suppressed or suppressed.
The Han army defeated Yao Yizhong in Jinan County, and defeated the 500,000 army with less than 100,000 troops, although the war still left a tail on the side of Zhu'a County, but after the news of Liu Yan's defeat of Yao Yizhong was spread, the shock caused was no less than a magnitude seven or eight earthquake.
Yao Yizhong is the chief leader of the largest ethnic group in the world today, and five or six million Qiang people obey his orders.
Yao Yizhong also has a reputation for being good at fighting, and his people are also widely praised for his uprightness.
Yao Yizhong, who led more than 500,000 people to enter Qingzhou, was annihilated by Liu Yan in less than a month, and the vast majority of cavalry with less than 50,000 broke through to Zhu'a County.
When he arrived in Zhu'a County, he was stopped by a Han general named Huan Wen, what a sad urge.
The total number of people on both sides of the war exceeded 600,000, and the use of cavalry, infantry, and naval forces to fight was actually a victory or defeat within a month, and the time was so short that everyone who heard the news was stunned.
"The King of Han is really powerful," Lang Xiaoquan, the right servant of the Ran clan's Qin State, admired his face and said: "For a battle of this scale, a year is considered a time period, and the King of Han actually won the game in less than a month." ” The Qiang cavalry that followed Yao Yizhong to successfully break through to Zhu'a County was less than 50,000, and the troops left in the camp by Yao Yizhong were either killed or surrendered, and I heard that the group of people who had previously retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River were also defeated and captured by the Han army, so it was really the Han army that achieved the earth-shattering result of killing and capturing 500,000 people in less than a month.
It's the same Guanzhong side that doesn't fight for a day, the Ran Min army, which is close to 150,000, relies on Tongguan and Xiaoguan to block the enemy army with an absolute number of about 700,000, well, the number is 700,000, but the real number of the top is 200,000 to 250,000, but the number of 700,000 enemy troops sounds really scary.
The army of hundreds of thousands of people is really not an exception, the Hu people are accustomed to the old and young following the young and strong to go out on the expedition, the old and weak women and children are grazing in the rear to provide food, and the young and strong are fighting and plundering in the front; In addition to the soldiers, the Chinese civilization did not have auxiliary soldiers, but also a larger number of people.
In fact, the number of people directly involved in each war should only account for less than 20% of the direct services provided for the war, and the rest are used to maintain logistics lines.
According to the statistics of the Ran Qin State itself, the results they achieved in Tongguan and Xiaoguan in half a year should be 50,000 to 70,000 people, if you count those who purged and did not cooperate in Guanzhong, including the Di people, Qiang people, Jin people and Zahu, it was only about half a year since the founding of Ran Min, and the total number of people they killed would not be less than 300,000.
"When will the latest batch of arrows be delivered?"
"It will be half a month at the earliest."
Compared with the Han army, Ran Minjun's side has always been in a situation where everything is lacking, especially arrows are the most scarce.
The state of Ran and Qin is too short, and Guanzhong is basically in a state of erosion because of the large-scale war, and being able to restore some agricultural production can be regarded as a capable person under Ran Min, but the production that needs to use craftsmen is really not something that can be solved with a little effort.
The production of arrows is not easy, in addition to having qualified arrows, the production of arrows involves more resources and technology, and the Ran Qin State is calling on everyone in the rear to serve the war, but it is only able to produce about 70,000 arrows per month.
Seventy thousand arrows may sound like a lot, but it's actually enough to support a medium-sized campaign.
Take an example, in the battle between Liu Yan and Yao Yizhong in Jinan County, the number of arrows consumed at least exceeded 120,000 a day, and if the battle was fierce, it was normal to consume more than 200,000 arrows a day.
Of course, there are definitely not many troops who dare to take one or two hundred thousand arrows out every day to consume, it should be something that can only be done with amazing national strength, and it depends on how many crossbowmen there are, and a salvo of 10,000 crossbowmen is 10,000 arrows, and ten rounds are 100,000 arrows.
A war can't come only ten times for long-range suppression, ten times a day is about the same, and then the days should be a few times for archery It must be noted that the crossbow may be easy to practice, after all, it is a fool's mechanical weapon operation, but the manufacture of a crossbow is not easy; Then there is the archer, being able to shoot an arrow does not mean that he is a qualified archer, learning to shoot an arrow is only the basics, and he must be able to execute every command to be a qualified archer.
Seriously speaking, crossbowmen in the era of cold weapons have always been regarded as elites, and many times it is not an incomprehensible thing to sacrifice five ordinary infantry to save one crossbowman.
"The king is discussing with Sikong and others, saying that he is willing to pay a big price to obtain finished arrows or arrowheads from the Han king."
Shen Zhong is the lieutenant of the Qin State of the Ran clan, he has just arrived from the rear of the pass, and as soon as he came, he said such a big news: "There are many naval troops under the command of the King of Han, and we plan to use this." ” There is a river system directly connected to Guanzhong from Qingzhou, and there are not many sections of the Yellow River that cannot be sailed or rafted, and if Liu Yanken pays some price, it is not too ridiculous to use the Yellow River to communicate with Ran Min.
The question is that the Qingzhou section of the Yellow River to Guanzhong, which is nearly 2,000 miles in the middle of the way, is under the control of Shijie Zhao, and what will be the price to pay if you really want to use the Yellow River.
Wang Shang is also trying his best to negotiate with Li Shi.
If the course of the Yellow River is confirmed to be unusable, take the Yangtze River to the Ling Canal.

Shen Zhong was definitely in favor of maintaining a good relationship with Liu Yan's side, and he said cautiously: "The king of Han defeated Yao Yizhong, and the establishment of the Han state has become inevitable. ” They previously called Liu Yan the King of Qi, and later all parties met in the next secret alliance, Ran Min was the first to change the name of Liu Yan to the King of Han, and Zhang's Liangguo was the second.
In addition to the Ran Qin State and the Zhang Liang Kingdom, only the Tuoba Dynasty also called Liu Yan the King of Han, and none of the rest of the countries called Liu Yan the King of Han.
The real situation is that Liu Yan's reconstruction of the Han Kingdom is really on the table, and it is determined that after Yao Yizhong is resolved, the founding ceremony will be held in mid-autumn.
The country name of the Han Department must be Han, but specifically because the name of the tribe is Han, or to inherit the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan himself did not say it, and the rest of the people didn't know how to open their mouths if they wanted to ask.
To establish a country, the origin of the country name is nothing more than a few.
One is the location, for example, everyone thought that Liu Yan should be called Qi before the founding of the country, and that was because Liu Yan's territory was in Qi.
Again, it is based on its own title, for example, if someone is the Duke of Tang, then the later establishment of the country is based on Tang.
It is a matter of etiquette to take a country name from a region and a title, and similar country or king names are generally recognized by the people under their rule.
For example, when people in a certain place see that the country name is their hometown, they will feel "Oh, this is it, that is their own country", and they will naturally have a sense of belonging.
In addition to the region and title to take the name of the country or the king, occupy a mountain, or occupy a melancholy, claiming to be a god king, a devil king, and an invincible king Anyway, there are some unfounded country or king names, and a similar situation is the grass head king.
Under normal circumstances, the grass head king just has no regional recognition, there is no reason, Zhou Yi and Yin Yang have a saying to explain the rapid fall of the similar grass head king, which involves the theory of luck.
The ancients believed that all things have spirits, and also believed in the theory of luck, so Liu Yan insisted on taking Han as the name of the country, which could not be involved from the geographical level, so there was only the inheritance of national fortune.
"Our country is called Qin, which is a regional relationship and an inheritance of national fortunes."
Shin Zhong said in confusion: "They are estimated to inherit the fortune of the country" There are not too many people who can understand Liu Yan, what he wants to inherit is not a national fortune, but a spirit.
Dong Cun didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand, what he was most concerned about was: "Then they built the country as a Han Dynasty, will they attract Shi Hu to the past?"
"Yao Yizhong failed too quickly."
Shen Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "If the war is deadlocked, Shi Hu will pass, and now he has the greatest chance of leading the army to our side."
Shi Hu summoned more than 300,000 people of the Qiang tribe to prepare for battle, and it was the most terrifying when he was ready to fight.
Everyone is paying attention to which side Shi Hu will go, especially the Dragon Teng Guardian is also in the battle sequence, and there is a newly formed Donggong Gaoli, no one wants Shi Hu's target to be himself.
"The king has asked us to quickly defeat the invading enemy, but," Shen Zhong said bitterly, pointing to the enemy outside the pass, "We have tried to attack out of the pass, but the effect is extremely limited" Even if the 700,000 enemy troops attacking Guanzhong only have more than 200,000 combat strength, it is not something that the Ran Qin State can eat in the field now.
Ran Minjun is not a Han army, the Han army has excellent weapons and armor, the Han army has endless arrows, and the weapons on Ran Minjun's side are not complete, let alone any armor, even the number of arrows has always been insufficient.
The high-level leaders of the Ran Min Army, such as the city tower, were negotiating, and suddenly heard someone outside shouting something like "attacked", and they continued to smile bitterly and dispersed.
There are no arrows to suppress, just rely on smashing stones to really stop the attacking enemy army, the enemy army has recently attacked the city wall more and more times, and the Ran Min army has repeatedly paid a heavy price to drive the enemy army down.
Fortunately, it is a narrow terrain like Tongguan or Xiaoguan, and the number of enemy troops that can attack the city wall is not too much, and if it is located in the plain, the kind of city attack and defense battle can be a big deal.
Once again, the enemy troops who attacked the city wall were killed, but Ran Minjun did not cheer, but looked extremely tired and numb.
"Persistence, persistence" "If the pass is breached, none of our family members will survive, so hold on" There is nothing wrong with it, Ran Minjun massacred disobedient people in Guanzhong, if the two passes are lost, and let's not talk about how the beggar army will treat Ran Minjun, Fu Hong, whose people were wantonly killed, will definitely take revenge.
The soldiers of the Ran Min army guarding the pass, they are no longer simply serving the king, whether it is for their own lives or the lives of their families, they have no choice but to persist until the turning point appears.
