Chapter 1670 The Death of Tolui (Part 1)
Chapter 1668: The Death of Tolei (Part 1)
Jizhou, outside Yecheng, inside the Qin army camp.
After many days of travel, Qin Hao finally arrived at the center of the Hebei Battle, Yecheng.
But unexpectedly, when I arrived in Yecheng, I received a system prompt, and the content of the prompt was Su Dingfang destroying Zhao.
"That''s great, God helps me too."
Qin Hao was overjoyed. Before, Li Jing swept Qingbei, but now it is Su Dingfang''s turn to destroy Zhao. The Qin army has won two of the four major battles and has gained an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield in Hebei.
Now the Northern Han army in Hebei is only 150,000 troops left by Han Xin in Yecheng and 100,000 troops of Wei Qing in Dai County.
The Northern Han United Army has suffered more than half of its casualties, leaving only nearly 250,000 troops.
In comparison, the Qin army won many battles in Hebei, and although the troops were also damaged, the casualties were not large.
The current distribution of the Qin army''s troops is:
Bai Qi’s main army in Yecheng has 210,000;
Daijun Huo Qubing’s cavalry army was 70,000;
The main POWs mixed army of Su Dingfang in Bohai Sea was 130,000;
Qingbei Zhou Yu captured 60,000 prisoners and reorganized troops;
and Li Jing 30,000;
The combined total of the Qin army''s troops in the three states was exactly 500,000, which means that the Qin army had fought for so long, but the troops were in a state of neither lowering nor increasing.
Previously, the Northern Han army''s troops were basically the same as the Qin army, and they were still on the side guarding the city, but they were all suppressed and beaten by the Qin army. Now the total strength of the Qin army is twice that of the Northern Han army. You can imagine what the result will be.
Now anyone with discerning eyes can basically see that the North Han Dynasty, which was established in a hurry, has reached the last moment. It is only a matter of time before the complete elimination of the Qin army.
"Su Lie captured 120,000 defenders of the Bohai Sea with a 100,000 army, but did not inspire the battle reward. It seems that Yuan Shao''s hastily recruited 100,000 militias were not counted as regular troops by the system, so the requirements for the battle were not met."
Qin Hao said with regret.
In the Battle of Bohai, Su Lie fought very wonderfully. He attacked the Bohai Sea with 100,000 troops, but with one hand, he made Zhao collapse without a single soldier, and eventually defeated the enemy without fighting.
In terms of the number of people in the Bohai Sea, the Battle of Bohai fully meets the battle standards. If it can be settled according to the battle, it will definitely be another gold card. However, among the 130,000 people in the 100,000 guards of the Zhao State, they were temporarily recruited, so they naturally could not be counted as regular troops, so they naturally could not meet the standards of the battle.
"Su Lie is still sweeping across the east of Ji and will not be able to lead the army to support for the moment. However, even if his army does not come, Bai Qi can still defeat Han Xin with the current situation in Yecheng." Qin Hao analyzed in his heart.
The decisive battle between Bai Qi and Han Xin was the most critical battle in the Hebei War. Nearly 400,000 troops were gathered in Wei County, and the war lasted for so long, so it was naturally impossible to be limited to Yecheng.
The Battle of Yecheng actually refers to the later stage of the Jizhou War, and the initial Jizhou War was launched around the western Hebei region.
In the end, the Northern Han evacuated from western Hebei little by little, and Wei County in central Jizhou became a battlefield.
The battle between Bai Qi and Han Xin in Wei County was even more intense, and every city and every inch of land was fought fiercely.
In the end, Bai Qi personally restrained Han Xin and nailed the main force of the Northern Han Dynasty to death in Wei County and could not move. However, Zhang Liao and Xue Rengui led a side army, and gradually cut off Han Xin''s other arrangements in Wei County, and finally completely trapped Han Xin to death in Ye City.
If Jizhou is divided into five parts of the southeast, west, north and middle, now western Hebei, southern Hebei, eastern Hebei, and most of the central Hebei region are already in the hands of the Qin army.
The Northern Han sphere of influence in Jizhou was already the only one left in South Korea in northern Hebei and Yecheng in central Hebei.
Therefore, the Jizhou War can also be divided into three stages:
1. The Battle between Hebei and Western Hebei;
2. The Battle of Wei County;
3. The Battle of Yecheng;
At the beginning of the Battle of Western Hebei, Bai Qi fought against Han Xin with an army of 280,000. When the war broke out to the Wei County War, the forces of both sides also evolved into Bai Qi''s army of 250,000 and Han Xin''s army of 170,000.
When the war broke out again to the Battle of Yecheng, the strength of the two armies dropped again to Bai Qi''s army of 210,000 and Han Xin''s army of 150,000.
The Qin army suffered a total of 70,000 casualties, and Han Xin also suffered 50,000 casualties, and a total of 120,000 elite soldiers buried their bones in Jizhou.
In fact, in terms of casualties data, neither side is considered a trauma.
Han Xin''s control of the fighter jets is almost perfect, and even Bai Qi will find a chance to severely damage him. Even if such a plan occurs, Han Xin will use the method of saving people and losing land, giving up the land as much as possible and retaining the soldiers.
Therefore, even though Han Xin lost the city and land one after another, his army was not damaged.
Han Xin did not lose tactically, but he lost strategically.
The continuous loss of land has continuously squeezed the living space of Northern Han until only the only lonely city of Yecheng is left in the entire central Hebei region.
There is almost no danger to defend in northern Hebei, so if Yecheng is broken, it will be a matter of time before the fall of Jizhou.
The offensive and defensive battle in Yecheng has become the most critical battle in Jizhou, and Han Xin was finally forced to retreat by Bai Qi.
The attack and defense of Yecheng City has been fighting for almost a month, and during this period, the Qin army suffered a total of 40,000 casualties. Although it still failed to capture Yecheng, it also achieved very pleasant results.
1. Cut off all cities in Wei County except Yecheng, and completely turn Yecheng into an isolated city.
2. Fill in the moat of Yecheng to facilitate the army to launch an attack and find out all the defense arrangements of Yecheng.
3. The continuous siege for a month has exhausted the defenders in the city, and at the same time, the defense of Yecheng is not as strong as it was at the beginning.
Two days ago, after Qin Hao arrived, the morale of the Qin army rose sharply, but Bai Qi ordered the siege to stop the siege.
Bai Qi''s move seemed to give Han Xin a chance to breathe, but in fact he was planning a stronger offensive to completely capture Yecheng with thunder.
"The final decisive battle will be held tomorrow. I wonder how the Grand Commander is going to arrange it?"
Qin Hao asked with a smile at Bai Qi below.
Bai Qi quickly stood up and reported: "Report to the lord, I am fully prepared, just..."
"Report..."
Before Bai Qi finished speaking, a spy suddenly broke in and reported: "Report to the lord, important information was heard from the grassland, Emperor Yuan Tuo Lei died."
"What?"
The generals in the tent couldn''t help but exclaim, and Guo Jiaze frowned and said, "Emperor Yuan Tuolei, who is both literary and martial, and has a strong body, how could he die suddenly? There may be problems here."
Hearing this, Qin Hao''s brows also frowned. He did not care about Tuo Lei''s life or death, but only cared about whether the Yuanmeng people would have a different intention and hindered the Qin army from capturing Hebei.
?The second update has come, and all the owed chapters have been paid back, so I can finally relax.
