Chapter 117 The Great Wall Army? Not a cause for concern!
No matter what Wang Cheng thinks, it is just as Wang Ping said.
The civilians screamed anxiously one by one. Although they had not received formal training, their combat effectiveness was at best a little weaker than Zhang Han's army of prisoners.
If they were the only ones on the battlefield, this group of people would definitely not dare to fight.
Think about who your friendly forces are.
Not to mention the main force that Wang Buxing led, once the war started, he would definitely entangle Zhang Han's main force, making it impossible for him to concentrate on dealing with them.
Although the combat effectiveness of Chen Tieshan's reinforcements is not as good as the main force, they are still troops that have been trained for ten and a half months, so they still have some combat effectiveness.
Not to mention the 50,000 people transferred from Xingyang and Aocang.
That is their base camp. No one knows the quality of the barracks better than they do. Every one of them is like a loser every day, training when they are full. After a few months of this, I am afraid there will be no one more elite than them in the world.
The troops are gone.
In addition, Wang Buxu's 28,000 main force defeated Sima Xin's 100,000 army. This living example is before us.
A thoughtful person calculated this way, and the number of our main force has almost reached 100,000. This refers to the absolute main force that has been trained for more than two months.
There are also almost 100,000 sub-main force, which refers to the troops who have been trained for more than half a month.
Therefore, these 60,000 civilians basically just stood aside and shouted 666 to create some momentum to scare people, and then went up to make a point with their swords and so on.
Field battles are not sieges, and there is still a big difference between the main force and the non-main force.
Moreover, they did not think that Zhang Han's army of prisoners had the will to persist until they were completely annihilated. Maybe they surrendered shortly after the battle started when their scalps were numb from being beaten?
Maybe, like the Gongxian defenders, they surrendered when they saw that there was nothing they could do about it?
…
Different from the excitement and expectations of the outside world, Wang Buxian didn't feel happy at this moment.
Although the battle in front of us will be the one that determines the outcome. If we win, the territory will be expanded several times. If we lose, there will be no future.
And based on the battlefield situation, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, and other factors, the probability of his victory is far higher than that of Zhang Han.
Moreover, Zhang Han's supply route is cut off, and the morale of the army will definitely be unstable.
But what Wang Buxu was worried about was not in front of him.
The bigger the bullshit, the heavier the responsibility on the shoulders.
There is no way, the development of things can only make him continue to boast more and more.
The rumors of no taxation for three to six years are true, but Wang Buxu did not discuss it with Chen Ping and Zhang Liang, but made an impromptu decision and let Zhang Buyi leak it.
The purpose is naturally to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers and the people and escort this battle.
As for the saying that there are no taxes or taxes, what will the court eat and drink?
Wang Buxu naturally has his own solution, and his income may not be reduced.
As a person from later generations, how can I not think this way?
What Wang Buxu is worried about is actually the real elite of the Qin army.
"Is there any news from the Great Wall Legion?" Wang Buxian asked casually, looking outside the city intently.
"It's almost two days, but the news will reach Xingyang first, and there will be news within five days," Zhang Buyi said.
As early as when he occupied Xingyang, Wang Buxu sent several scouts to quietly approach the Great Wall Legion's station to observe their movements.
Reports are made every half month, and if there are any abnormal changes, they are reported immediately.
There are only three truly elite troops in the Qin Army. One is the Guanzhong Legion, which ranks first. This army is the most elite, but it is not large in number. It is mainly responsible for the defense of the Guanzhong area, but its combat effectiveness has also declined in the past two years.
Otherwise, Zhou Wen would not have been able to penetrate so deep into Guanzhong.
Ranked second was the Qin army that guarded the Six Kingdoms. They were responsible for suppressing the survivors of the Six Kingdoms. However, with the uprising launched by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, this army quickly fell apart and did not play any role.
Wang Buxu's old team is this unit.
But the difference is that they belong to the non-staff army, which is the local army that assists the garrison in maintaining stability. Those who really belong to this army are the thousand people who were blocked by Wang Buxu in their lair and surrendered during the first encirclement and suppression, as well as those who surrendered during the first siege.
Those people outside who were killed by Song Zhong.
The main force defending Wu Guang's attack in Xingyang that day was these people.
Ranked third is the Great Wall Legion, which was formed in the 32nd year of the First Emperor, that is, 215 BC, only seven years ago.
Don't worry about the second child, he will be separated by himself, and the eldest brother will not be able to get out, and his combat effectiveness is almost gone.
The only one that still has some fighting capacity is the third Great Wall Legion.
But the Great Wall Army was now severely weakened. After the deaths of Meng Tian and Fusu, who were deeply loved by the soldiers, the morale of this army was almost lost.
Although Wang Li, who took over, came from a famous family, his abilities were never as good as those of his grandfather and father, and the timing of his taking over was very unfriendly.
So many soldiers believed that the deaths of Meng Tian and Fusu had a lot to do with Wang Li, who was the deputy general of the Great Wall Army at the time.
To put it more generally, everyone was dissatisfied when Wang Li came to power.
In such a unit, even if the soldiers have some combat effectiveness, they will not be able to display it due to various factors.
But Wang Buxu still had to guard against this force at all times. Xiang Liang was defeated and died under the north-south attack by the Great Wall Army and Zhang Han.
However, worries are worries. If the Great Wall Army remains unchanged for a day, Wang Buxu will be more confident in defeating him. Besides, there are still several countries in the north blocking him.
As for the 500,000 people in the Lingnan Army, I'm sorry, it's not that Wang Buxian looked down on people, he really didn't take these people into consideration.
Wang Buxian, who was nestled in Lingnan, could not do anything to them for a while, but if he dared to leave Lingnan and return to the Central Plains, Wang Buxian could say responsibly that he could crush them with 100,000 people.
Looking at their composition, a small number of troops, immigrants, and prisoners, their combat effectiveness can only be said to be inferior to that of Zhang Han's army. Moreover, I heard that when I first went there a few years ago, I was beaten by the local natives and ran around with their heads in their hands.
It was only after I got used to it that I slowly regained the initiative.
"Wang Li is unpopular, what about the Great Wall Army? It's nothing to worry about!" Wang Buxu gave this conclusion calmly.
I don’t know if Hu Hai is too confident or something, but after all this time, the Great Wall Army still doesn’t move?
If the Great Wall Legion had cooperated with Zhang Han in sending troops from the beginning, attacking in two directions from the north and the south to quell the rebellion, the current situation would have been different.
But now, it's all too late.
Even if the Great Wall Legion sends troops immediately, it will be almost two months before they arrive here. Two months later, with at least 200,000 fighting elites under his command, he really is no longer afraid of Wang Li's Great Wall Legion.
Zhang Buyi said with a mean smile on his face: "Hey, if Wang Li had that kind of ability, he would have wiped out Yan, Zhao, and Qi long ago. He'd better stay at the Great Wall and repair his Great Wall properly. Don't dare to go south.
