Chapter 796 The Battle of Changping

On the Songjin battlefield, the 130,000 Ming army and the 40,000 Mingguan army were besieged by the Qing army to the south of Jinzhou City.

The Qing army dug trenches and cut off the Ming army's food roads. The trenches were eight feet deep and one foot and two feet wide.

As soon as Mingguan came to the battlefield of the Battle of Songjin, he faced a desperate situation.

Hong Chengchou, the chief general of the Ming army, wanted to fight the Qing army, but the eight generals controlled by Hong Chengchou and the supervising army of the Ming army advocated breaking out separately.

Mingguan formed his own army and did not obey Hong Chengchou's orders: "Hong Chengchou wanted to die and survive, but the eight general soldiers established by the imperial court each had their own soldiers and horses, and they supported their own self-respect. Hong Chengchou might not be able to control them, and most of them would choose to accept it. Proposals from the various commanders. Now that we are in a desperate situation, we should fight with our backs like Han Xin, how can we break out of the siege, be divided and surrounded by the Qing army, and then wiped out?"

Chang Yuchun and Li Chengliang were brought by Mingguan to participate in the Battle of Songjin, and he was almost pissed to death by the commander-in-chief and supervisor of the Ming army.

The generals of the Ming army were timid and unwilling to fight to the death, and advocated fleeing back to Ningyuan.

Chang Yuchun and Li Chengliang also sneered at these general soldiers: "Master, how should we break the situation?"

"Among the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, and others lacked fighting spirit. They might lead their troops to flee soon. They must be captured. We coerced Hong Chengchou into a decisive battle with the Qing army. They dared not If we resist, we will kill them. If we lose the decisive battle, we will leave this place. Regardless of whether we win or lose, we must try, otherwise, this life will be regrettable!"

Mingguan seemed to have made up his mind.

The major battle between the Ming army and the Qing army in 1641 was basically repeated battles and defeats. It was only a few years before the Ming Dynasty fell, and morale had been lost. Mingguan suspects that the morale of the Ming army on the battlefield is even lower than 40, and the generals have no fighting spirit.

But Mingguan still has the ability to restore some morale of the Ming army, and there is also the Eight Banners cavalry who hope to defeat Huang Taiji.

The Ming army's equipment is not weak, but the soldiers have no fighting spirit, the generals don't know what to do, and the emperor's civil servants can't deal with Li Zicheng inside the pass and Huang Taiji outside the pass.

Wu Sangui, who had already been killed by Chutian in the main world, was targeted by Mingguan again on the battlefield of the Songjin Battle.

Chang Yuchun said sharply: "My lord, don't worry, if they dare to resist, I will personally cut off their heads."

"Regardless of winning or losing, Wu Sangui must die."

As soon as Mingguan's voice fell, Wu Sangui, the commander of Ningyuan, felt cold behind his back, and he seemed to feel that his life was in danger.

...

On the Changping battlefield, the sky was cloudy and the wind was blowing. The 400,000 Zhao army was besieged by the Qin army and was at a loss.

The banners of the Qin army were unfurled, and the cold armor and sharp spear exuded a chilling air.

Bai Qi cut off Zhao Jun's grain road with cavalry, and Zhao Kuo, the commander of Zhao Jun, turned pale: "I fell into Qin Jun's plan and was surrounded by Qin Jun, but how could Qin Jun's chief general, Wang Yan, have such meticulous thoughts?"

Behind Zhao Kuo, the 400,000 Zhao troops built barriers, turned them into defenses, and took the opportunity to break through.

Zhao Kuo was still commanding the Zhao army. It seemed that the Zhao army hadn't collapsed, but every Zhao general and soldier was worried, and the hand holding Chang Ge was trembling.

There are 600,000 Qin troops besieging Zhao's 400,000 troops!

Originally, the number of soldiers and peasants in the Qin army was only about 400,000, but Lao Qin, the lord of the Han Empire, chose the "extremely difficult" difficulty. The number of soldiers and farmers in the Qin army increased by half, reaching an astonishing 600,000!

generally,

In the "Extremely Difficult" difficulty battle, the enemy's strength was doubled, but in the Battle of Changping, the difficulty of the Zhao camp was already extremely high, and it was already quite terrifying to increase the strength by half.

Zhao Kuo wants to curse now.

He couldn't beat the 400,000 Qin army, but now there are 600,000 Qin troops on the opposite side!

"The chief general of the Qin army is not Wang He (he), but Bai Qi."

Lao Qin came to Zhao Kuo and reminded Zhao Kuo who didn't know what had happened.

In Lao Qin's eyes, Zhao Kuo was just an inexperienced brat.

Lao Qin has experienced more battles than Zhao Kuo has traveled through more bridges, and the most important thing is that Lao Qin knows the before and after of the Battle of Changping.

Sure enough, when Zhao Kuo heard that the chief general of the Qin army had changed from Wang Lu to Bai Qi, his already pale face faded even more, and his voice was trembling: "Bai Qi, why is it Bai Qi? The scouts heard the news and repeated it again and again. It is confirmed that the general of the Qin army is Wang Yan!"

"It's not difficult to change generals secretly."

While talking with Zhao Kuo, Lao Qin called out his bad luck in secret—he was randomly assigned to the Battle of Changping by the system, and he was still in the Zhao country's camp.

Extremely difficult difficulty, Qin Jun 600,000.

This is not bad, otherwise if it is hell mode and the Qin army becomes one million, then the Changping battlefield will really be hell.

At least for now, Lao Qin still has countermeasures to solve the situation.

Jia Xu was brought to the battlefield by Lao Qin, and he has already thought of a way to break the situation: "The commander of the Qin army is Bai Qi, whose commanding ability is unparalleled in Changping, and it is unmatched. Only by conspiracy can we resolve the situation outside the battlefield. crisis."

Lao Qin nodded undeniably.

He really can't fight in vain.

The "Extremely Difficult" mode is no joke, second only to the "Hell" mode, so each battlefield is extremely difficult.

In the Battle of Songjin, when Mingguan appeared on the battlefield, the Ming army had already been besieged by more than 200,000 Qing troops, and the eight generals of the Ming army were weak in fighting spirit, dragging Mingguan back.

In the Battle of Kunyang, Chutian was facing a new army of 840,000. Wang Mang personally led the conquest. He had five schools of the Northern Army, the Huben Army, and the Beast Army. Nine Tigers and other generals and talents.

In the Battle of Changping, Lao Qin and the 400,000 Zhao army were surrounded by the 600,000 army commanded by Bai Qi, trying to break through.

"It's over, it's over, Qin Jun actually changed the head coach in secret. Wait...Why did Zhao Guo replace me and replace Lian Po as the chief general, while Qin Jun changed generals almost at the same time? Could this be Qin Jun's trick as well?"

As the son of the famous general Zhao She, Zhao Kuo was familiar with the art of war, and at this time, he also reacted in time.

"That's right, the two armies are changing generals. This is Qin's plan to separate. If King Zhao is willing to pay some price, maybe the lives of 400,000 troops can be saved. I need you to send a letter to King Zhao. Otherwise, the 400,000 troops of Zhao State, They will all be killed by the Qin army."

"How could the Qin army kill 400,000 people? Unless they are crazy, the six countries will panic and join forces to attack Qin!"

Zhao Kuo did not believe that the Qin army would kill 400,000 Zhao troops at one time.

Even in the Warring States period, doing so would be criticized.

"The six countries have joined forces to attack Qin more than once, but how many times have they won? Among the six countries, Zhao is a serious problem for Qin. In order to attack Zhao, Qin lost a lot of soldiers. If 400,000 Zhao are captured, they will surely Kill everyone to avoid future troubles. The Qin army probably doesn't want to fight another long war with Zhao's army. Besides, killing Zhao Guo's young and strong one time is enough to deter the rest of the five countries. Maybe King Qin won't bear this crime, but Bai Qi doesn't mind Bearing the burden for the King of Qin. As a subject, it is not uncommon to bear the crime of the lord."

Lao Qin's analysis made Zhao Kuo believe that Bai Qi would kill 400,000 Zhao's army after victory: "If you can put us in danger, I will obey your orders."

Only then did Lao Qin nodded in satisfaction: "Give me the command of the 400,000 Zhao army. It is not so easy for the Qin army to eat our army. At least it will cost a lot. No matter how powerful Bai Qi is alone , and it is impossible to provide a bonus for the 600,000 army. I have not seen such a commander... So, the 600,000 Qin army is actually commanded by several generals, but there are more troops in vain. We Only by attacking other Qin generals, consuming their troops, and causing Qin to bleed, can we have the capital to negotiate."

Jia Xu said from the side: "General Yang Dayan, please command the cavalry at that time, and cover me to break out of the encirclement."

Old Qin's guard Yang Dayan agreed: "It's not a problem. Although the Qin army is numerous, as long as I attack its weak points with heavy cavalry and send dozens of people out, it's easy for me. It's just a military advisor, your martial arts skills are sparse. Ordinary, even if you lead dozens of cavalry out, so what? Could it be possible to retreat 600,000 Qin troops with the strength of dozens of people?"

Jia Xu laughed dumbfounded, and pointed to the saber: "Things that cannot be solved with a sword, can be solved with the head."

Yang Dayan was still confused.

Lao Qin's voice was low, with a volume that only Jia Xu and Yang Dayan could hear: "We have 400,000 Zhao troops to drive, even if Zhao Jun sacrifices 200,000 to 300,000 people, as long as we can achieve our goal."

Lao Qin knew that Zhao's army was not weak.

In the Battle of Changping, although the Qin army won, 200,000 people died in order to wipe out the 400,000 Zhao army.

This time, the number of the Qin army has increased to 600,000, but it does not mean that the Qin army is willing to suffer too many casualties.

The real method still depends on Jia Xu's words.

"If I were in the camp of the Qin army at this time, the victory would be easy, but it's a pity... this time I have to rely on Wenhe to change the fate of Zhao Jun. Even if Zhao Guo pays some price and saves some young and strong for Zhao Guo, it should be possible Get some rewards."

Lao Qin looked at his mission and chose one of two victory conditions for the "Battle of Changping": first, defeat Bai Qi, and second, Bai Qi retreated on his own initiative.

...

Yingchuan County, the battlefield of Kunyang City.

"There are about 17,000 soldiers and horses, of which about 3,000 are elite..."

Liu Xiu recruited more than 10,000 green forest troops in Yancheng, Dingling and other counties, and selected 3,000 elite soldiers from them. These 3,000 people were all equipped with war horses.

These Green Forest Army cavalry looked at Liu Xiu with something wrong.

According to Wang Mang's increasing rewards, Liu Xiu's head is already worth 100,000 households and 200,000 gold, which is equivalent to Wang Mang rewarding several cities to those who killed Liu Xiu.

For the sake of profit, it is not impossible to betray your companions.

If it weren't for Chutian's vast territory and millions of property, maybe he would also be interested in Wang Mang's reward, tie up Liu Xiu's five flowers, give it to Wang Mang, and return to the main world after receiving the reward.

"Brother Chu, why do you think Wang Mang offered me a special reward? Besides, my brother's head is only worth 50,000 households and 100,000 gold."

When Liu Xiu was recruiting soldiers, he was puzzled.

Why did Wang Mang target him?

Liu Xiu thought he was inferior to his elder brother Liu Yan, but Wang Mang insisted on offering a reward to Liu Xiu, and regarded Liu Xiu as his number one enemy.

"Who knows..."

Chu Tian did not explain to Liu Xiu.

When Wang Mang targeted Liu Xiu, he naturally knew that Liu Xiu was the biggest enemy in the Kunyang battle, and he had the ability to turn the tide of the battle.

But Wang Mang was already aware of Liu Xiu's existence, and Chutian didn't expect this, let alone that Wang Mang would come to Kunyang to lead the army in person, making the battle of Kunyang more difficult.
