In fact, he went further. When he counted the corpses, he didn't see how many enemy corpses were under the city. As for the ones above the city?

It's not that he looked down on his own side. There weren't many people who could climb the city wall. He only killed some with feather arrows, but it was estimated that there would not be more than 300. It was far less than what he counted.

But what can he do?

Just look at Han Sui's face and you will know that he cannot accept the 1:5 battle loss alone. If the secretary dares to tell the truth, he is afraid that the angry Han Sui will be angry and directly push him out and chop him, right?

"How many enemy troops are estimated to be left in the city?"

Han Sui tried his best to suppress his anger and asked in a deep voice.

"big...Probably around 15,000! Not counting the people in the city!"

The secretary replied tremblingly.

"Fifteen thousand? If we continue to fight like this, won't I have to pay 60,000 to 70,000 casualties to win this Huayin? The most ridiculous thing in the world!"

Han Sui really couldn't figure out how the gap could be so big!

Cheng Yi, who was on the side, stepped out and cupped his hands:"My lord! That’s not how the account is calculated! The number of enemy troops is only that small. If we lose another five or six thousand, we will be unable to hold on! The loss is far less than imagined! Moreover, we can completely let the troops go into battle in turns to consume their physical strength. In a few days, we can completely defeat them!"

Han Sui listened and nodded in agreement.

It was indeed true.

However, the loss ratio in this battle still made him extremely heartbroken.

When Cheng Yin saw this, he also said:"Lord! Since ancient times, in siege battles, battle loss ratios of 1:3 and 1:5 have been normal! Moreover, our opponent this time is the Luo Family Army. They are all elite soldiers who have undergone rigorous training. In addition, their weapons and equipment are far better than ours!"

"Don’t say anything else! The range of bows and arrows alone is more than 50 steps farther than ours, not to mention those swords, guns, swords and shields! The gap between these things cannot be helped!"

Now, no one in the world knows that Luo Xuan has mastered steel-making technology that is far beyond this era. Not only can he produce steel in large quantities, but the quality of the steel is also far better than that of other princes.

In fact, Luo Xuan has already They are so extravagant that they use steel to build roads and build cities. It is simply crazy!

With so much excess steel, how good would it be to sell it to them and use it to make weapons and equipment?

Unfortunately, other princes can also think about it.

In the past few years, it was not No one tried to sneak into the steel plants in Bingzhou or even Youzhou or Jizhou to steal technical information, but without exception, they all disappeared and there was no news.

Luo Xuan has a mysterious intelligence and assassination force under his command, which is very common among the princes. It’s no longer a secret!

After all, the secret guards have done a lot of things. Of course, their understanding of the composition and strength of the secret guards is extremely one-sided, and they only have a superficial understanding.

"really!"

The candidate also nodded, and then suggested:"Lord, we have so many soldiers and horses, and they are all surrounded here. Most of them cannot exert their due combat power. Why not divide the troops into two groups and leave 40,000 to 50,000 here? Continue to besiege and attack Huayin, and detach a main force to speed up to Hangu Pass, seize it before the Luo Family Army reacts, and completely cut off the Luo Family Army's retreat in the pass?"

If we continue to waste time here, as long as the Luo family army is not a fool, they will definitely send more troops to the pass from Sili, Bingzhou, and Yecheng!

By then, it will not be so easy to capture Hangu Pass and seal the pass.!

Even, they may be defeated

"That makes sense!"

When Han Sui heard this, he felt that this suggestion was indeed good!

If it were to attack the city, more than 10,000 people would be defending the city, and it would be difficult to capture it all at once. But if it was a siege, 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses would be left behind, which would be a huge loss. The troops in Yin City did not dare to act rashly!

If they dared, the 40,000 troops left behind by Han Sui could completely annihilate them in one fell swoop!

Without the city as a barrier, could the Luo Family Army still maintain a battle loss ratio of 1:5?

What does Han Sui Army mean to him ? ?

He is conceited. The elites under his command are also experienced warriors who have undergone extensive combat training. They will not be any worse than the Luo Family Army in the city.

Besides, the Luo Family Army here should not be the real elite main force, right?

The real elite. The main supporting force should be in Chang'an City at this time.

"That being the case! Han

Sui immediately got excited again and ordered:"You three, Candidate, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng, will lead 40,000 troops to continue the siege of Huayin City. Candidate will be the main general, and Liang Xing and Zhang Heng will be the deputy generals and auxiliary candidates!" The others followed me and led the troops to Hangu Pass."

"Here!"

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Han Sui openly led 80,000 elite troops to bypass Huayin City and head east.

As if he was afraid that the Luo Army in Huayin City would not know about it.

In fact, Han Sui also did With both hands prepared, he just wanted to see if the defenders of Huayin City could keep their composure when they saw him doing this.

If they dared to go out of the city to pursue and intercept them, then Han Sui would dare to turn around and fight with the 40,000 soldiers here. The horses attacked from front to back and destroyed the Luo family army in one sentence.

What a pity! When Xu Rong in the city saw this scene, he only had a sneer on his face:"Splitting the troops is your biggest mistake! What's even more stupid is that he actually dared to lead troops to capture Hangu Pass. Compared to Huayin, that's the real tough spot! I can’t bite you to death!"

In the past few years, he has been guarding Hangu Pass. With the support of the Luo family army, he has already strengthened and transformed Hangu Pass into an even more insurmountable heavenly pass. Not to mention Han Sui's mere 80,000 troops. One or two times the size, under the guard of Gao Shun, Han Sui could not even think about conquering Hangu Pass.

"Immediately pass the news of Han Sui's division of troops to General Gao Shun at Hangu Pass, and also send a copy to Zhang He in Chang'an, Huang Zhong in Chencang, and the king."

Xu Rong immediately gave an order to the people in Zhan Ge Camp:

"Here!"........

"kill!!"

"do not stop! continue! I don't believe it! Can't take down the mere city of Chang'an!!"

In Chang'an City, the siege began as early as when Han Sui attacked Huayin!

Ma Teng spent a day or two building siege equipment, and then began to attack.

But the battle did not go smoothly. Chang'an City was like a huge war machine. Not only was its counterattack extremely strong, but its defense power was also unimaginably high. At the end of the day, Ma Teng dropped 10,000 pairs of corpses under the city, but he didn't even touch the top of the city wall.

After Ming Jin withdrew his troops that day, Ma Teng returned to the commander's tent with an unusually ugly face:"How can he be so powerful? Is this still the Chang'an City in my impression? Back then, how did Li Jue and Guo Si easily capture Chang'an after testing more than 100 or 200,000 troops? Ma

Teng was quite puzzled.

Yang Bai, a subordinate of Ma Teng, smiled bitterly and shook his head:"General!" Not to mention that our military strength is not as good as that of Li Jue and Guo Si at that time, the Luo family army in the city at this time is not that of the young Han Emperor and Wang Yun who did not understand military affairs!"

"Although the strength of the Luo family army in Chang'an City is only about one-third of ours, their bravery is indeed far greater than that of our army, and their equipment is also much better than ours. Major General Meng Qi and the others were not unjustly defeated before!"......
