Chapter 1167 The Fall of the Star
Chapter 1165: The Fall of the Star
This time, Yuwen Chengdu came to fight against the three super generals Jiang Song, Ran Min and Gao Chong.
However, the strength of the two sides was too large. Yuwen Chengdu was attacked by Ran Min and Gao Chong, and was shot down by Jiang Song in less than five rounds. He could not even commit suicide and was captured alive.
In this way, Yuwen Chengdu became the first super **** general to be captured alive so far, and this was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the arrogant him.
The war came to an end soon.
Although the remaining three thousand Liang troops have become the Ai Army, they have been out of food for ten days after all.
The Liang army was hungry again, tired, and even waving its weapons was difficult. How could it be that it could resist the Qin army that had accumulated strength by 60,000 yuan.
After the Qin army launched one charge, the Liang army was completely defeated. The three thousand Ai army had not even caused more than double-digit casualties to the Qin army.
"Grandmaster, our army suffered a total of eight casualties, killed more than 900 Liang troops and captured more than 2,000 prisoners."
"Um."
After listening to the soldiers'' report, Bai Qi''s eyes were neither happy nor sad, but he nodded faintly and asked, "Where is Yuwen Chengdu?"
"He has been captured alive by General Jiang Song."
At this time, Jiang Song returned with Yuwen Chengdu, who was tied into rice dumplings, and said in a deep voice: "I am fortunate to be able to fulfill my mission and have successfully captured Yuwen Chengdu."
"here you go."
After Bai Qi praised her with a golden word, he saw that Ran Min and Gao Chong were not there, and immediately asked, "Where are Ran Min and Gao Chong?"
"They went to capture Yang Lin."
The greatest contribution of capturing Yuwen Chengdu alive was naturally Jiang Song, and Ran Min and Gao Chong were mostly not people who surrendered, so they rushed into the depths of the military camp to compete for the contribution of capturing Yang Lin, the leader of the Liang army alive.
Although the Liang army had only 3,000 people left, they still established a camp of 50,000 people. After searching in two groups for a long time, Ran Min took the lead in finding Yang Lin''s command.
"Finally found it."
Ran Min licked her lips, her eyes full of joy. Then she lifted the curtain and saw Yang Lin sitting in the main seat without expression, without any panic or surprise on her face, as if she had expected this scene.
"I thought it would be Bai Qi, but I didn''t expect it to be you Ran Min." Yang Lin said lightly.
Ran Min''s eyes flashed with displeasure when he heard this, but he sneered: "Where is there any need for the Grand Commander to go out in person to capture you, a defeated general."
Yang Lin stared at Ran Min for a few seconds and shook his head and said, "What a pity, it''s not Bai Qi who killed me."
Ran Min was stunned and immediately said in a deep voice: "Actually, you don''t have to die."
Yang Lin did not answer, but just shook his head, and Ran Min saw this and said, "It''s not easy to seek death in front of Ran Min."
But a trace of relief flashed in Yang Lin''s eyes and said lightly: "It''s too late."
Ran Min''s expression changed drastically when he heard this. He stepped forward in an instant, grabbed Yang Lin''s mouth and kept him from biting his tongue to commit suicide. However, a large amount of blood still overflowed from his mouth.
"You actually took the poison in advance."
Ran Min''s face suddenly became a little ugly. Yang Lin''s life was obviously more effective. If he died, his value would plummet dozens of times.
"I said everything, you don''t have to die, why bother with this?"
Ran Min sighed and let go of his hand, while Yang Lin said with great difficulty: "Please give Bai Qi a sentence, and I, Yang Lin, lost, was convinced."
"Don''t worry, I will definitely bring you the words."
"Thank you, it''s already."
After saying that, Yang Lin completely lost his life.
It is really sad that a famous general of a generation was forced to commit suicide by taking poison. In this way, when Yang Jian withdrew from Sizhou, the 40,000 Liang troops left by the Yewang and the 10,000 Liang troops retreated from Hedong, a total of 50,000 Liang troops were completely wiped out.
In this battle, under the leadership of Bai Qi, the Qin army paid only a small price to achieve huge results of annihilation of 10,000 enemies and capturing 40,000. They also killed the enemy''s chief general Yang Lin and captured deputy general Yuwen Chengdu alive.
"Now that once Yang Lin is eliminated, our army is in Sizhou, and only the enemy is left of the coalition forces of the Southern Princes."
Qin Hao laughed and said, "The combat power of the Bingnan princes is weak and is destined to be no match for our army. The unification of Sizhou is finally just around the corner."
From this moment on, Qin Hao had completely lost his opponent in Sizhou, so he naturally couldn''t help but be happy and excited.
"Lord, before sending troops to Wang Mang, let''s consolidate the defense on the Western Front first."
Bai Qi stood up and said in a deep voice: "Although Zhou Yu has not asked for help so far, it is time for the troops to be exhausted."
Qin Hao''s eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "The Grand Governor said so much. Since that''s the case, he ordered Pei Yuanqing and Xu Chu to lead 5,000 troops to support Hangu Pass."
“Five thousand?”
Bai Qi was stunned and then asked in confusion: "Lord, are you sure? There are 70,000 Liang troops outside Hangu Pass."
"Of course." Qin Hao smiled faintly.
Seeing that Qin Hao had no intention of explaining, Bai Qi was very sensible and stopped asking more questions. He could be said to have fully demonstrated the duties of his ministers.
Bai Qi did not know how to unite Qin Hao and Guanzhong forces, and Qin Hao would not take the initiative to tell Bai Qi that he and Li Shimin would join forces to plot against Yang Jian.
The reason why Qin Hao only sent 5,000 troops to Hangu Pass was naturally to cooperate with Li Shimin in Chang''an, deliberately creating the illusion of insufficient Qin army''s military force, so that Yang Guang could firmly fight against Hangu Pass.
With Yang Lin''s entire army also being destroyed, if Yang Guang could not even see the hope of breaking the pass, he would definitely lead the army to withdraw back to Chang''an.
If Yang Guang''s 70,000 troops return to Chang''an, such a huge force will obey Yang Jian''s words, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Li Shimin, and there is no possibility of overthrowing Yang Jian.
What Qin Hao needed was a Liang army that was constantly fighting in the middle, so no matter whether he wanted it or not, he had to help Li Shimin hold up Yang Guang as much as possible. Only when Yang Guang saw the hope of breaking Hangu Pass would he continue to lead the army until he attacked Hangu Pass.
"The only opponents left is the coalition forces of the Southern Princes."
After Qin Hao looked around the generals, he said in a deep voice: "After the coalition of southern princes went south to Sizhou, he not only quickly expanded his army to 150,000, but also dispatched 130,000 troops at one time to compete with our army, and our army also divided into two groups to fight.
Hanoi, Wang Mang had 90,000 troops, and 30,000 troops against Su Lie;
Hedong, Chen Qingzhi''s army of 40,000 was against Xue Rengui''s army of 20,000.
Although the forces of our two armies were much smaller than those of the enemy, they both achieved great results and destroyed many of the main forces of the enemy.
Su Lie defeated Wang Mang''s 50,000 troops in Chaoge. Although Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi had a victory or defeat, the overall casualties were far inferior to those of the enemy.
So far, the total loss of troops by the coalition forces of the Southern Princes has exceeded 50,000, while the total loss of troops by our army is only more than 10,000.
After Wang Mang once again forcibly expanding his army, although he recovered to 130,000, his combat effectiveness was further weakened.
After our army completely solved Yang Lin''s problem and divided its troops to support Hangu Pass, it still produced 65,000 new forces. ”
When Qin Hao said this, all the generals showed excitement. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the next battle should end soon.
"Now we announce the next strategic arrangement..."
As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, a soldier broke in, running and shouting, "Report... Report to the lord, a letter from Fei Ge comes from Hetao."
The soldier handed over the cloth with words written on it. Qin Hao''s face changed drastically after seeing it, and he showed an incredible look.
All the generals were very surprised to see this. What kind of information was that could make the lord show such an expression?
"Lord, what''s wrong?" Bai Qi asked frowned.
Qin Hao sat down with a sigh, then handed the cloth to Bai Qi. Bai Qi widened his eyes after seeing it.
The above reads: Zhenbei Pass fell and the Grand Governor Yang Ye died in battle.
