Chapter 1209 The Second Battle of Changping (Part 2)
Chapter 1207: The Second Battle of Changping (Part 2)
After Qin Yong and others joined forces to kill back, they realized that Liang Lin had been killed by Arthur. Even if they joined forces with Fan Lihua, it would be great. After all, Arthur was a woman, and Liang Lin was the second most powerful general in the south after Ju Wuba.
The generals looked at Arthur with shock, and a trace of complexity flashed in Luo Cheng''s eyes.
During the battle between Chaoge, Luo Cheng was severely tortured by Liang Lin''s younger brother Liang Fang, so he vowed to surpass Liang Fang in the future.
Luo Cheng regarded Liang Fang as the target of chasing, but he did not expect that more than a month later, Liang Fang died under Huang Zhong''s arrow.
After Liang Fang died, his brother paid the debt, and Luo Cheng transferred his target to Liang Lin again.
Liang Lin is obviously stronger than Liang Fang, but it doesn''t matter. This will make him stronger and stronger, but he doesn''t expect that Liang Lin will die at the hands of Arthur again.
"It seems that I''m going to change another goal." Luo Cheng said with a wry smile in his heart.
Liang Lin was killed in battle and Ju Wuba was defeated in battle. This was a fatal blow to the coalition forces.
The reason why Wang Mang has such a high prestige in the coalition is half because the coalition was formed by him, and the other half is the shock of the two top generals, Ju Wuba and Liang Lin.
Now that Liang Lin was killed in battle, Ju Wuba was injured, this not only caused a great decline in morale between the coalition forces, but even the morale of the army was turbulent, while the Qin army took this opportunity to launch an attack.
With the participation of many powerful generals such as Qin Yong and Arthur, not only did they easily regain the three previously felled hills, but they also moved the defense line several miles before, further compressing the living space of the coalition forces.
Although Liang Lin died, the coalition''s resistance did not stop. It was just that the morale of the coalition was discharged, and the Qin army''s arrangement was simply unscathed. No matter how strong the coalition attacked or sneak attacked, it could not be broken.
As time passed day by day, the Qin army advanced for more than ten miles, and the defense line arranged in Changping became stronger and stronger, trapping the 100,000 coalition forces between the narrow and long mountains and could not move.
After the coalition lost Shangdang, most of the food and grass were lost, and most of the remaining food and grass were stored in a city in the north. There must be not much food and grass left in the coalition, so the longer the time delays, the more unfavorable it is for the coalition.
As the end of the world approaches, the coalition forces are becoming more and more crazy.
In just three days, Wang Mang launched seventeen counterattacks, in order not to break out directly, but to seize some living space, but in the end he only lost his troops and failed to break through a defense zone.
After the failure of the 18th counterattack, Wang Mang was completely desperate.
When Hu Yanglin was trapped by Bai Qi and died in Hongnong, Wang Mang privately laughed at Yang Lin, and the 50,000 army was trapped to death by 60,000.
In Wang Mang''s view, at least one double the opponent''s troops can completely trap the enemy.
Yang Lin''s army was trapped to death by Bai Qi and 60,000. This was so embarrassing to Wang Mang at that time, but he didn''t expect that he would also encounter the same fate as Yang Lin.
"If this continues, let alone protecting this army, I''m afraid I''ll really have to pay my life."
Wang Mang couldn''t help but look resolute in his eyes. He endured the pain in his heart and said to himself, "We must make a choice."
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report: "General is not good, the Qin army launched a general attack."
"What?"
Wang Mang couldn''t help but look shocked. He thought Bai Qi would trap the 100,000 coalition forces just like dealing with Yang Lin until the food was exhausted, and directly defeated the troops without fighting, but he did not expect that Bai Qi had already made a total contribution before the food was exhausted.
The coalition forces are now completely trapped to death, so Bai Qi can naturally defeat others without fighting, but considering that hundreds of thousands of yuan is still causing trouble for Hetao, Bai Qi would rather pay some of the casualties than save time to resolve the coalition forces as soon as possible. After unifying the Bingzhou, he will go to help Hetao. Wang Mang didn''t know Bai Qi''s thoughts, but was shocked when he saw the Qin army launching a general attack. He hurriedly shouted: "I ordered all battalions to guard the camps and never let the Qin army attack in."
The battle situation is so depressed that the Qin army has come to an end, and it is not something that Wang Mang can stop just by wanting to stop it.
Under the attack of Bai Qi and Xue Rengui''s armies, the coalition defense line was quickly defeated and was soon blocked in the central basin, with no way to retreat.
Xue Rengui personally led the army and drilled the coalition into it. Then Qin Yong, Qin Wu and Arthur each led the charge, and soon divided the coalition into more than ten sections. The coalition could not make any effective counterattack.
At this moment, the Qin army shouted the slogan of not killing the surrendered. The coalition forces had weak fighting will and could not escape or defeat them now. Most of the soldiers chose to surrender.
Those who were unwilling to surrender were Wang Mang''s iron-core, or the confidants of Guo Tai and Chen Qingzhi, but under the siege of Qin''s crossbows, they eventually surrendered to death.
The war lasted less than half a day, and the 105,000 coalition forces were completely wiped out, with more than 80,000 surrendered soldiers and nearly 25,000 casualties.
After the Qin army launched the general attack, the casualties caused less than 10,000 to the coalition forces. Most of the casualties of the coalition forces were caused in the previous counterattack war, while the total casualties of the Qin army were less than 5,000, and the casualties in the decisive battle were less than 3,000.
After seeing the casualties report, Bai Qi''s face flashed with dissatisfaction. He was preparing to control the casualties within 2,000, but he did not expect that it would eventually exceed 3,000.
Seeing that the governor had a gloomy face, the generals didn''t dare to speak at once. Whoever was the first to be the leader would be unlucky.
"Reported to the Grand Governor, General Xue Rengui captured Guo Tai alive, General Mulan shot Zhang Shide, Wang Mang led hundreds of remnants into the mountains with Juwuba, and General Qin Yong was leading troops to search."
Bai Qi frowned even tighter when he heard this, and immediately asked, "What about Chen Qingzhi and Chen Baxian?"
Bai Qi didn''t care whether Wang Mang would escape, but instead cared more about the two wise generals Chen Qingzhi and Chen Baxian. In his opinion, although Wang Mang was full of wisdom, the threats of these two people on the battlefield were much greater than those of Wang Mang.
"The two of them were not found among the prisoners of war. Perhaps they ran away with Wang Mang."
Bai Qi''s face became even more ugly when he heard this.
The number of the 100,000-strong coalition forces is too large and the target is too large. Even if you hide in the mountains, you will definitely be discovered.
But if hundreds of people hide in the mountains, it is like a drop of water dripping into the river. Even a wave cannot be turned up, so it is naturally extremely difficult to find it out.
"Continue to search for the whereabouts of Wang Mang and others. In addition, Xue Rengui was ordered to lead 40,000 troops to attack Xihe County, and Su Lie led 50,000 troops to attack Shangdang counties that the Ming army had not yet occupied."
After Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang surrendered, Shuofang and Shangjun surrendered without fighting, so among the four southern counties, the Qin army only needed to continue to conquer the remaining two counties.
Before Qin Hao left, he told Bai Qi to try not to start a conflict with the Ming army, otherwise Bai Qi might have personally led more than 100,000 troops to attack Shangdang.
A few days later, a spy sent a news that shocked Bai Qi, that was, Long Qi led his troops to withdraw from Shangdang, and Su Lie directly occupied the entire Shangdang County, except for Huguan.
?The third update is coming, please recommend votes and monthly votes. In the next chapter, I took stock of the gains. I didn’t even take stock of the previous battles. It was not that Liuxiang was late, but that it was also a large inventory that belonged to the unified department.
