Chapter 1252: The Battle Begins (Part 2)
The Yuan Meng army also occupied five cities in Ningxia. As the main force of the Qin army moved to Ningxia, most of the main force of the Yuan Meng were also placed in Ningxia.
Therefore, the ten cities in Ningxia are now full of troops and are about to break out.
Although Qin and Yuan Meng gathered a large number of troops in the Ningxia army, both sides maintained a very tacit restraint, and few military operations of more than 30,000 people were involved.
Neither the Qin and Jin army founded their troops or the fierce Yuan Meng, they were fully prepared for the decisive battle. If they rashly dispatched too many troops, it would easily develop into the final decisive battle, so the two sides would be so restrained.
In this unprepared environment, Murong Ke suddenly provoked a war this time and dispatched 70,000 cavalry at once. It was obviously a thoughtful military operation, and his real intention was also somewhat intriguing.
The generals of Qin and Jin who received the news discussed the intention of Murong Ke''s move, but the conclusions they came to were different. Anyway, they all had their own reasons.
"not good."
Just as the generals were arguing with each other, Zhuge Liang suddenly screamed, then quickly walked to the sand table and looked for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Murong Ke''s real purpose is probably to block the 100,000 troops in Hetao''s Bingzhou passage and defend the Eastern Front camp."
Qin Hao also looked at the sand table and frowned and asked, "How can I see it? There are quite a lot of troops on the Eastern Front."
"Although there are many defenders at the junction of Hetao and Bingzhou, it is the weakest link on our defense line."
The 100,000 defenders at the junction of Hetao and Bingzhou were led by Qin Liangyu, She Saihua and Meng Tian. The 100,000 troops were all reorganized from reserve soldiers and once Yellow Turban prisoners of war.
Although this 100,000 army is a newly built army, most of the people in the army are veterans who have seen blood, and they are equipped with the most excellent weapons, so they have certain combat effectiveness, and their overall combat effectiveness is one step weaker than the main army.
100,000 defenders are no longer a small number. If this army is in the hands of Li Jing, Temujin may not be able to break through Yinshan City even if he dies.
In Qin Liangyu''s hands, although it plays a limited role, it is more than enough to protect the key road of the torso.
But Zhuge Liang said that the defense line built by the 100,000 troops is the weakest link in the Hetao defense line, and the reason is also very simple:
1. The rest of the defense lines have cities to defend, but Qin Liangyu''s 100,000 troops can only rely on Dazhai for defense, and the defense power of Dazhai and City is different.
2. The formation of cavalry was not a temporary achievement, and the cavalry in the Qin and Jin armies were concentrated in the Ningxia army, so the newly built army was short of cavalry. Although there were ways to fight against cavalry, there was no way to balance cavalry.
In summary, Qin Liangyu has a hundred thousand army in his hands, but he can only be passively beaten when facing cavalry. If the defense loophole is discovered again, the 100 thousand army will even be at risk of being directly destroyed.
"Our army had the advantage of military strength before. If Yuan Meng had the idea of ??attacking the Eastern Route Army, the cavalry in Ningxia could support it immediately. Murong Ke also knew this, so he never took the initiative to provoke the Eastern Route Army.
But now it is different. After Yuan Meng increased his troops again, even if he divided his troops into 70,000, the remaining troops would be enough to restrain our main force. If the 70,000 cavalry is used well, he can already defeat the defenders on the Eastern Front in one battle. ”
Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Qin Hao couldn''t help but show a solemn look and said seriously: "Where did Murong Ke get such confidence? How did he make sure that he will be able to break through the defense of the Eastern Front this time?" Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe Murong Ke discovered the loopholes in the defense of the Eastern Front."
Qin Hao couldn''t help but be stunned. After thinking carefully, he found that Zhuge Liang''s analysis was very reasonable.
Although there are many troops on the Eastern Front, the defense line is not solid. Only by cooperating with Ningxia can the defense line be guaranteed to be unbreakable.
In addition, although Meng Tian, ??who commanded 100 on the Eastern Front, was here, the main general was Qin Liangyu. As Qin Hao''s sister, Qin Liangyu, who was commanding the army alone for the first time, must want to show herself, so she may not necessarily listen to Meng Tian''s advice.
Although Qin Liangyu''s commander attribute is 93, in the face of such a million-level battle, the commander at 93 points is a little unable to hold on, and it is very normal that there will be loopholes in the layout.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. If this is not handled well and the reaction is not timely, the army on the Eastern Front may face the risk of collapse, and the gap between the troops and the Yuan and Meng will widen again.
"The 100,000 troops on the Eastern Front are related to the safety of the entire Bingzhou, and no mistakes are allowed, so this time I decided to personally lead 30,000 elite cavalry to rescue."
The reason why Qin Hao went in person was not just for rescue, but fundamentally solved the problem on the Eastern Front. After all, he could save once, but not necessarily save the second and third times. The most important thing to fundamentally solve the defense loopholes on the Eastern Front.
In fact, the fundamental problem of the 100,000 troops on the Eastern Front mainly occurs in the commander Qin Liangyu. Although her command and command ability are not weak, she is not enough to face Murong Ke.
If Qin Liangyu could think of Yang Liulang and treat Meng Tian like Li Jing, then the defense of the East Front would definitely be as solid as a sacred person, but Qin Liangyu, who was strong, wanted to prove that there would inevitably be problems with the defense of the East Front.
After all, Qin Liangyu is Qin Hao''s sister and the chief general personally appointed by Qin Wen, so Qin Hao must go in person to remove Qin Liangyu''s military power and promote Meng Tian to be the chief general of the Eastern Front Army. Only in this way can the problem of the Eastern Front be solved once and for all.
As he said that, Qin Hao looked at Wang Meng and said in a deep voice: "Since Murong Ke dares to divide his troops to attack the Eastern Front, he must have other tricks.
Governor Wang Meng, after I left, you will rely on you to control the overall situation in Ningxia. All the forces and generals of the Qin and Jin armies are at your command. You must not give Murong Ke any opportunity to take advantage of. ”
"No." Wang Meng responded firmly.
In this way, Qin Hao personally led 30,000 elite cavalry to leave Ningxia, and the generals who followed were: Jiang Song, Gao Chong, Zhao Yun, Huo Qubing, Bai Qi and Ran Min and other super gods were all left to Wang Meng by Qin Hao.
As soon as Qin Hao left, Wang Meng also made arrangements. He ordered the four generals Ran Min, Jia Fu, Yuwen Chengdu and Huang Zhong to guard the other four cities in Ningxia respectively. He, Bai Qi and many military advisors were in charge of Ningxia City.
Qin Hao''s reaction was already fast enough, but Murong Ke made a move faster.
After 70,000 troops attacked the Eastern Front, Murong Ke waited quietly for Qin Hao''s response. As soon as Qin Hao''s reinforcements left Ningxia, he immediately launched the next action.
For a time, Ningxia County was in a state of turmoil, and the situation was extremely critical, and there was a trend of a decisive battle about to break out.
