Chapter 1301 Temujin wakes up


    Chapter 1299: Temujin wakes up


    The previous two tests have already made Qin Hao touch Temujin''s bottom line. He is 100% sure Temujin will never leave the city, so he dares to ignore Temujin''s main army and lead 150,000 troops to attack Guyuan County.


    Guyuan County has a total of 50,000 defenders. Temujin believes that Qin Hao will not be able to capture it in a short period of time, so he feels that Qin Hao attacked Guyuan County just to get out of the city than him, but Qin Hao took advantage of Temujin''s psychology to attack Guyuan County with the flow.


    Guyuan County has sufficient soldiers and enough food, and Murong Ke will arrive at Zhenbei Pass in ten days. In theory, it is almost impossible to achieve if Qin Hao wants to forcibly breaking Guyuan County within ten days.


    But everything is exceptional, and Temujin also has times of neglect.


    Temujin actually ignored an extremely important thing, that is, although there are many defenders in Guyuan County, all the soldiers responsible for defending the city are cavalry.


    The advantage of cavalry lies in field combat, not in defending the city. Now Temujin uses cavalry to defend the city, and it would be great if he could exert 50% of his original combat power.


    Among the 150,000 Han troops, 115,000 are infantry. The advantages of infantry lies in siege and defending the city. In addition, various siege equipment in the Han army emerged one after another.


    So, at first glance, there seems to be no big problem with Temujin''s arrangement in this way, but in fact, he is using his own shortcomings to attack the enemy''s strengths, and this is also the confidence of Qin Hao to dare to attack Guyuan County.


    Looking at the city occupied by the enemy not far away, Qin Hao slowly waved out the Tianwen Sword at his waist and ordered: "Send the order to implement the three circumferences and one circumvent the three gates in the west, south and north, and concentrate troops to specialize in the south gate. Be sure to break the city within three days."


    "No." The generals shouted in unison.


    The 150,000 troops were divided into three groups, surrounded by three but lacked one, but the elite soldiers and generals attacked the South Gate under the leadership of Qin Hao.


    One hundred catapults gathered at the south gate of the fire, and the flying stones emitted were covering the sky and the sun, which made the defenders in the city unable to raise their heads at all.


    Three thousand archers on the thirty well railings shot arrows at the city wall continuously to suppress the archers behind the city wall and create opportunities for the soldiers who charge under the city.


    "Kill..."


    Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Jia Fu and other generals personally siege the city, and rely on their own bravery to avoid the rock-rolling wood and quickly climb the city tower. Then they made every effort to clear the enemy soldiers around them, creating opportunities for the soldiers behind them to come.


    —————


    "Report... Report to Your Majesty, something big has gone wrong, Guyuan County has fallen."


    "What?"


    Temujin widened his eyes, and the Yuan Meng generals were also shocked. They all thought Qin Hao was just acting, and his real purpose was to lead the main force out of the city to fight the decisive battle, but they did not expect that Qin Hao actually captured Guyuan County, and it took only two days.


    "What the **** is going on?"


    Temujin''s face became extremely ugly. The 50,000 defenders couldn''t defend for even two days. Are they all pigs?


    "Your Majesty, the Han army''s offensive is too fierce. Although their army uses three sieges and one siege, they concentrate their forces to attack the South Gate. Hundreds of catapults are constantly bombarding, thirty well railings suppress the archers, and many powerful generals have personally committed suicide to the city tower.


    Most of the brothers were not used to infantry fighting. Although they tried their best to resist, they finally let the Han army attack into the city after a day and a half of fighting. In order to reduce casualties, the general had to abandon the city and withdraw his troops back. ”


    Temujin''s face was as deep as water. He understood why Guyuan County, which had an army of 50,000, could not defend for even two days. It turned out that the cavalry was not good at infantry fighting and defending the city.


    Before, Yuan Meng was on the offensive side and had been taking the initiative and never fought a battle to defend the city. So Temujin didn''t realize this, and now he suffered such a big loss.


    "How many people have been lost?" Temujin asked.


    "Because of the withdrawal in time, only nearly 10,000 soldiers were injured and killed, and the remaining 40,000 troops are almost back."


    After hearing this, Temuzhen felt relieved. Although he lost the food and grass in Guyuan County and the city, fortunately the casualties were not large. Yuan Meng still had an army of 240,000 in Ningxia County. "The main responsibility for Guyuan County''s death and loss this time lies with me. Our Dayuan Iron Cavalry is good at attacking but not good at defending. We should not attack the enemy''s strengths with our own shortcomings."


    Temujin knew that Guyuan County was not a war crime, so he did not hold Guyuan County responsible for its loss, and he took the initiative to take all the responsibility on himself.


    The talent of a wise king is revealed.


    Zhebei stood up and said, "Your Majesty, then should we continue to delay time or take the initiative?"


    After Temujin pondered for a moment, he was about to say something, but someone came to report it.


    "Report... Report to Your Majesty, the latest information was received from the front-line probe. After the Han army captured Guyuan County, they immediately burned the grain warehouse and then took all their troops straight to Zhongwei County."


    "What?"


    Temujin looked shocked. He thought Qin Hao would seize the city, but he didn''t expect to abandon the city so decisively, and burned all the food and supplies he had already obtained. This was simply a harm to himself and a disadvantage to others!


    "Zhongwei County?"


    Temujin looked at the location of Zhongwei County, and was shocked and hurriedly said, "Qin Hao''s target is not Zhongwei County, but Pingluo County next to Zhongwei County."


    Like Guyuan County, Pingluo County also has a grain warehouse in the city, and it is also one of the only two grain storage areas left by the Yuan army in Ningxia.


    Now that Yuan Meng has lost the grain depot of Guyuan County. If he loses the grain depot of Pingluo County, even if Murong Ke can successfully regain Zhenbei Pass, Yuan Meng will have to withdraw from Hetao due to shortage of food.


    "Report... Report to Your Majesty, the latest battle situation in Yinshan, Bai Qi sent Li Jing to march towards Zhenbei Pass. General Murong Chui was afraid of being attacked from both sides, so he had to retreat temporarily..."


    Another bad news came, and this news also showed that even if Murong Ke arrived on time, it would be difficult to retake Zhenbei Pass in a short time, because Li Jing outside the Pass would definitely hold Murong Chui back for a while.


    As soon as he thought of this, Temuzhen couldn''t help but become more and more irritable. He found that he seemed to be led by the nose again, and every step Qin Hao took exceeded his expectations.


    Temujin found himself in a misunderstanding, fearing about the unknown, and the end result was to be restrained everywhere.


    You must break Qin Hao''s rhythm. Temujin said in his heart.


    After pondering for a while, Temujin ordered: "Send the order immediately and the entire army gathers in Pingluo County. I will fight to the death with Qin Hao there."


    Hearing Temujin say this, Ogedei quickly stood up and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, no, our army can just drag it until Murong Ke takes back Zhenbei Pass and get the initiative back. Why risk going out of the city to fight Qin Hao?"


    "It is because Qin Hao took advantage of our mentality that he dared to ignore our tens of thousands of main forces and attack Guyuan County with all his might.


    Now Qin Hao is even more focused on Pingluo County. He wants to burn our army''s food and grass bit by bit, so that our army can''t get any food available.


    Our army is good at attacking but not defending, and Qin Hao can easily capture Guyuan County, and even Pingluo County can still be captured. If we continue to remain indifferent, by the time Murong Ke retakes Zhenbei Pass, we may have all had food, so Pingluo County must be saved. ”


    As soon as Temushi said this, Ogedei couldn''t find any refutation, but he still advised: "But that Fire Bull Formation..."


    Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Temujin.


    "Don''t worry, I have come up with a way to break the Fire Bull Formation. It would be fine if Qin Hao didn''t use it. If he used it, he would definitely suffer a big loss." Temujin said in a deep voice.
