Chapter 1299 Emperor Yuan VS Duke Qin (Part 2)
Chapter 1297: Emperor Yuan VS Duke Qin (Part 2)
In Ningxia City, the Military and Political Conference was held again, and the senior officials of the Qin and Jin armies gathered together, and everyone knew that the time for the decisive battle was coming.
Seeing Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Jia Fu and other generals below, each with high spirits and fighting spirit, Qin Hao also smiled with relief, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, General Huo and Zhuge Military Advisor took the risk of leading 60,000 cavalry out of the frontier. Now, not only has he led the 100,000 cavalry from Zhenbei Pass back to the grassland, but he also defeated the 100,000 Mongolian Iron Cavalry in Longcheng, which can be said to have exceeded the pre-war deployment.
Governor Bai Qi sacrificed his life to restrain Murong Chui''s 200,000 troops. In the end, not only did he save Yinshan City with one soldier, but he also recaptured Zhenbei Pass in just one day, and also exceeded the pre-war deployment.
Whether it is General Huo Bing or General Bai Qi, the reason why they sacrificed their lives on the front line was just to create opportunities for us to defeat Temujin in one fell swoop and completely expel Yuan Meng.
Now this opportunity has finally emerged, and it is time for us to fight to the death. ”
"Pan..."
At this point, Qin Hao slapped the table angrily and shouted: "Immediately submit a letter of war to Temujin. This time I will lead the army in person to fight Temujin to the death."
"No."
———
"Report... Report to Your Majesty, Qin Hao sent someone to issue a letter of war."
Temujin was stunned at first when he heard this. Subconsciously, he thought that he had heard it wrong, but after he was sure that he had heard it wrong, his brows frowned.
Although the total force of the Qin and Jin coalition forces is large, the maximum force that can leave the city is only 150,000 main force. After all, militias do not have the ability to go out of the city to fight in field, while Yuan Meng has a total of 250,000 main force in Ningxia.
After reading the war book written by Qin Hao himself, Temuzhen couldn''t help but wonder where Qin Hao got the confidence and dared to use a 150,000 infantry and cavalry army to challenge his 250,000 main iron cavalry?
"Qin Hao must have a conspiracy." Temujin murmured to himself.
The person who knows you best is often his enemy, and Temujin''s understanding of Qin Hao may be better at knowing him than Qin Hao.
With Temujin''s understanding of Qin Hao, he would never do anything that he was unsure. Then Qin Hao must be sure of winning in the matter of taking the initiative to issue a letter of war, otherwise he would never start the decisive battle easily.
Although Temujin saw that Qin Hao had a conspiracy, he could not imagine what the conspiracy was, but it did not affect it.
Temujin doesn''t care about Qin Hao''s conspiracy. He just needs to delay for half a month. When Murong Ke regained Zhenbei Pass, the initiative will naturally return to his side.
"Send the order to defend the city to the death and ignore the challenges of the Han army." Temujin ordered decisively.
Although Yuan Meng only occupied the five cities of Ningxia, he had a total of 250,000 troops. Therefore, in Temujin''s view, if the troops he had had were full of strength, the Han army would have no hope of breaking the city.
—————
After learning that Temujin refused to go to the battle, Qin Hao was not surprised and sneered: "Since Temujin doesn''t dare to come out, let''s force him out.
After passing the order, the Jianzhen Camp, the Pojun Camp, the Huwei, the Iron Guard, the Hubei Camp, the Jiulong Guard... all the main battalions were dispatched.
Wang Meng, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Jia Fu, Jiang Jiong, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, Qin Lie, Shi Long, Mu Feng..."
Every time Qin Hao clicks on a person''s name, someone will immediately stand up and shout "The last one is here."
In a blink of an eye, there were only a few generals left in the hall, and Qin Hao said in a deep voice: "Although I am waiting for the decisive battle between Temujin."
"No."
The generals roared like thunder. “As for the candidates left behind?”
At this point, Qin Hao bowed to Xi Zhicai and Liu Bowen: "I''ll ask the two military advisors to lead the militia to guard the cities of Ningxia County."
After Xi Zhicai and Liu Bowen looked at each other, they said in unison: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord (young lord).
Qin Hao looked at the generals again and said in a deep voice: "This time the main force was dispatched, leaving only the militia to defend the city. If it fails, then it will be successful."
"If you don''t succeed, you will be successful..." The generals shouted in unison.
"Set off."
Qin Hao took the lead in walking outside the hall, and then Xue Rengui and Wang Meng followed left and right, while Jia Fu, Zhao Yun and other generals also followed one after another.
The soldiers and horses of the five cities of Ningxia quickly gathered towards Ningxia City, with 115,000 infantry and 35,000 cavalry, totaling 150,000 troops.
With Qin Hao''s order, the 150,000 army took Xiong Jian''s pace and took the initiative to kill the 250,000 enemy troops.
————
"What?"
Tiemu''s eyes were open, and he slapped the table with both hands, and said in disbelief: "Are you saying that Qin Hao took the initiative to lead all the main forces of the Jin army coalition to kill us?"
"That''s right, Qin Hao dispatched no more and no less troops this time, exactly 150,000."
Temujin was stunned again. After staying for a while, he couldn''t help but sit down and ponder.
Unreasonable, too unreasonable.
Now the Yuan army is in a defensive state, and the Han army is the attacking side. Does Qin Hao still want to use an army of 150,000 to forcibly break through five cities with a force of up to 250,000 yuan?
This is simply impossible.
"Your Majesty, do you think this is Qin Hao''s trick? He wants to deliberately lure us out of the city?" Ogedei said.
Temujin glanced at him indifferently and asked with some anticipation: "Continue."
Ogedei was immediately inspired when he heard this. When 70,000 cavalry raided the Jin army on the Eastern Front, his reality was too bad, so he was directly beaten white after the war. Now that he had the opportunity to show up in front of Temujin, Ogedei certainly would not give up easily.
"Your Majesty is like this. Qin Hao must have estimated Murong Ke''s marching speed. He knew that the 100,000 cavalry outside the pass would arrive at Zhenbei Pass within half a month, so he wanted to completely defeat our army within half a month.
But as long as our army defends against the city, Qin Hao will never win through the city wall, so we must lead our army out of the city. Qin Hao took the initiative to expose all the main forces, just to lead our army to fight to the death. ”
After hearing this, Temujin frowned, but he had to admit that Ogedei''s analysis still makes sense.
"Qin Hao wants to lead our army out of the city to fight to the decisive battle, but what methods will he have to make the 150,000 infantry and cavalry defeat my 250,000 iron cavalry?" Zhebei asked with a puzzled look.
Ogedei looked at Temujin carefully, and saw him signaling him to continue talking, so he smiled and said, "General Zhebiao, have you forgotten what method Zhuge Liang used to defeat the 150,000 Iron Cavalry of Huchuquan with less than 50,000 cavalry?"
Zhebe''s eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you talking about the Fire Bull Formation?"
"That''s right, now, besides the Fire Bull Formation, what else can Qin Hao do to defeat our army head-on with 150,000 infantry and cavalry?" Ogedei asked with a confident look on his face.
