Chapter 1871 Northern Han won the first victory


    Chapter 1869: Northern Han won the first victory


    Yuyang County is located between Guangyang County and Youbeiping County, and has jurisdiction over nine counties including Yuyang and Hunu.


    However, with the fierce attacks of the two Qin troops and the surrender of the Pinggu County Magistrate, the four counties in southern Yuyang have already belonged to the Qin army, and only the five counties in central and northern regions are still in the hands of the Han army.


    Qin Hao led 130,000 Qin troops to take over Youbeiping. Although the pressure on Li Guang from Yuyang County was greatly reduced, Su Dingfang''s 40,000 troops were not for a good meal, let alone Sun Lingming was also under Su Dingfang''s command.


    Who is Sun Lingming?


    That was the fierce man who killed Yuan Hong, the most powerful general in Hebei. He could not find anyone who could match him even if he searched the entire Northern Han.


    The Qin army with Sun Lingming is here, you can imagine how strong the offensive is. Yuyang is the east gate of Yanjing. Once Yuyang falls completely, Su Dingfang''s army can go directly to Guangyang County, and Yanjing will be in danger at that time.


    Li Guang only has 25,000 troops in his hands, while Su Dingfang has 40,000 troops and peerless general Sun Lingming.


    In addition, nearly half of Yuyang County''s territory has been lost, and the Han army''s strategic depth is only five counties.


    Therefore, among the four counties, Yuyang County is the most critical, even worse than Dai County.


    Although Liu Che knew about Yuyang''s predicament, he had no choice but to do so, because the Northern Han Dynasty had no soldiers to adjust and no soldiers to conquer.


    "Report...Yuyang Battle Report, Su Dingfang''s vanguard Sun Lingming led 5,000 troops to attack Guangpingcheng. He attacked fiercely for ten days, but failed. He was later repelled by General Li Ling, and our army killed more than 2,000 Qin troops."


    "What?"


    Liu Che, Zhang Tang, Wei Xiang and others all exclaimed, after all, this was the first victory since the war between the Qin and Han Dynasties began.


    Qianpingcheng is just a medium-sized county, with not too strong defense, and the defenders only had three thousand, but they did not expect to block Sun Lingming''s five thousand elite Qin army.


    "Li Ling is worthy of being a child of the Li family. He is really a good general. I want to reward him very much." Liu Che praised with a smile.


    What Liu Che and others didn''t know was that Li Ling had fought his life to defend the Guangping City.


    In order to fight against Sun Lingming alone, Li Ling mobilized more than a thousand powerful crossbowmen, as well as all the bed crossbows and catapults in the city, and gathered Sun Lingming alone.


    Sun Lingming is indeed powerful and has also mastered the Indestructible Divine Art, but he cannot withstand the continuous attacks of the bed crossbow and the catapult cart.


    In this way, Li Ling used the fire-raising tactics of bed crossbow and catapult car to prevent Sun Lingming from climbing the city and successfully defended the city.


    Sun Lingming is accustomed to relying on his personal courage and always leads the way in every battle. As long as he climbs the city tower, it will only take place sooner or later.


    The problem now is that Sun Lingming cannot climb the city tower and cannot fight against the Han army in close combat. No matter how strong his own strength is, it is useless.


    In desperation, Sun Lingming could only command the army to attack the city himself, but his command ability was not very strong. Compared with commander-type generals like Li Ling, the gap was even more obvious.


    Sun Lingming sieges the city for three consecutive days but failed to climb the city tower, so he personally directed the army to attack the city, but he did not expect that under Li Ling''s attack, no matter what kind of siege tactic he used, it would be difficult to conquer.


    Sun Lingming was transferred to the fourth route to help Su Dingfang. Now Su Dingfang won consecutive victories, but he was blocked by a young general, which naturally made him scratch his head in a hurry.


    At this time, Sun Lingming''s weakness of high military power and low commander was naturally exposed.


    In fact, Sun Lingming''s commander at 80 points is no longer low, but facing Li Ling, who started at 90, Sun Lingming, who is commanding at 80, is naturally no match for him.


    Li Ling noticed Sun Lingming''s impatience. On a dark and windy night, he personally led a thousand infantry and five hundred cavalry to attack the Qin army camp at night.


    Sun Lingming was not aware of it and was successfully attacked by Li Lingye, causing more than 800 soldiers to be damaged. At the critical moment, Sun Lingming woke up in time and repelled Li Ling''s troops with his own strength, otherwise the Qin army would have suffered greater casualties.


    After repelling Li Ling''s troops, Sun Lingming wanted to pursue him personally until he killed Li Ling, but it was too dark and he couldn''t tell who was who. In addition, he was worried that Li Ling would have another ambush, so Sun Lingming gave up the pursuit.


    After a big defeat, the morale of the Qin army declined. Sun Lingming was worried that Li Ling would attack again, so he retreated ten miles and prepared to attack the city before stabilizing the morale of the army.


    In this way, Sun Lingming, a famous general in the world, attacked a small city of 3,000 defenders with five thousand elite Qin troops. In the end, not only did he not capture the city, but he lost to Li Ling, the unknown soldier.


    Li Ling defeated Sun Lingming''s attack and killed more than 2,000 Qin troops, which was the first victory since the war between the Qin and Han Dynasties began.


    You should know that even Wei Qing did not kill the Qin army in the process of fighting Huo Qubing. Li Ling''s battle was the best record for the Han army so far.


    After such a big victory, Liu Che must of course make a good publicity to stimulate his morale, but he also knew that two thousand casualties were nothing to the 200,000 Qin troops, and the situation faced by the Northern Han was still extremely difficult.


    "Transfer the order, and Li Ling is appointed as the General of the Central Army and the Marquis of Changting in Han." Liu Che ordered with a smile.


    "No."


    Just as Liu Che rewarded Li Ling, Su Dingfang, who was confronting Li Guangtianyu, also received news that Sun Lingming had been defeated and retreated.


    When Su Dingfang learned that Sun Lingming was defeated, he was not angry, but he felt relieved and said in his heart: Now Sun Lingming should have a good memory.


    Since killing Yuan Hong, Sun Lingming gradually became arrogant and began to be arrogant.


    Apart from the words of Qin Hao and Emperor Ming, even Bai Qi was not taken seriously by Sun Lingming, and even threatened to challenge Li Cunxiao. It can be said that he was already crazy enough.


    Therefore, when the lord asked Sun Lingming to help, Su Dingfang was not only not happy, but also felt a little nervous, worried that this rebellious **** would not obey his command.


    Sure enough, without Su Dingfang''s expectations, after Sun Lingming came to the Fourth Route Army, he did not take Su Dingfang seriously at all. He directly came to Su Dingfang for military power, and threatened to capture Li Guang alive with only five thousand soldiers.


    Su Dingfang was not angry at this. In his opinion, this was a manifestation that Sun Lingming was too young and had not trained enough. After experiencing several blows like Lu Bu, he would naturally understand the truth that there were people outside others.


    After several dissuasions failed, Su Dingfang appointed Sun Lingming as the vanguard and led five thousand troops to lead the way as the main force.


    Su Dingfang originally thought that five thousand elite soldiers, and Sun Lingming, a powerful general, could at least capture the two cities of Yuyang. When the troops were almost exhausted, Sun Lingming would naturally bow to him for help, but he never expected that Sun Lingming would hit a nail in front of the first city.


    "Who is this Li Ling? He defeated General Sun Lingming with just three thousand defenders." Su Dingfang asked with a frown.


    "General, he is from the Li family."
