Chapter 1890 Yanjing, the lonely city (Part 1)
Chapter 1888: The lonely city of Yanjing (Part 1)
Although there has never been a war in Zhuo County, the pressure Bai Qi brought to Wei Qing is no less than that of other counties.
Although Bai Qi has never launched an offensive against Zhuo County, he has been extremely frequent in the mobilization of troops.
Today, we will add 5,000 troops to this city, and tomorrow we will send 3,000 troops to that camp. Such troops will be mobilized almost every day.
Although Wei Qing didn''t know what Bai Qi''s intention was to do this, as long as one of the ten false cases was true, the Han army would suffer a heavy blow.
Therefore, in order to prevent Bai Qi from attacking, as long as Bai Qi moves, Wei Qing must change his arrangements to deal with the Qin army that could be attacked.
Just to keep up with Bai Qi''s rhythm and frequently change arrangements, Wei Qing was exhausted.
What Wei Qing didn''t know was that Bai Qi had always had only one purpose, that was, to drag his 50,000 troops to Zhuo County. As for the frequent mobilization of troops, it was just to prevent him from being idle.
Once Bai Qi does nothing, Wei Qing, who is idle, will be divided into other areas, which will cause variables in other battle situations. As long as he is busy and has no free time, Wei Qing will naturally not be able to intervene in the wars in other counties.
Under Bai Qi''s intentional confusion, Wei Qing''s eyes were always limited to Zhuo County. When he realized this, Yuyang County had been captured by Su Dingfang. Before he had time to make arrangements, Dai County was also occupied by Huo Qubing.
If Wei Qing could remain calm when Yuyang fell and Su Dingfang marched into Yanjing, then Wei Qing would be able to remain calm, then the fall of the entire Dai County would almost lose his mind.
Yanjing is a strong city, and there is sufficient food and grass in the city. As long as the defenders do not make any moves, even if Su Dingfang attacks the city of Yanjing, it will not be possible to break through Yanjing in a short time. What''s more, Su Dingfang can use it to attack Yanjing.
But Dai County is different.
Dai County is the flank of Zhuo County. Once occupied by the Qin army, Huo Qubing can directly attack Zhuo County and form a double-sided attack on Wei Qing''s troops with Bai Qi.
Blocking Bai Qi''s 60,000 army made Wei Qing exhausted. In addition, Huo Qubing''s 40,000 army was still in a pincer attack. How could Wei Qing''s 50,000 army defend?
Therefore, after learning about Xue Gang''s defeat, Wei Qing was extremely frightened and scolded Xue Gang for an hour, calling him incompetent and harming the country.
In fact, Wei Qing also knew that Xue Gang did not make any big mistakes in the Daijun War. The fact that he was defeated was not because of his lack of ability, but because the Qin army was too strong, but this was not the reason why Xue Gang ruined the country.
Xue Gang''s defeat was equivalent to exposing the 50,000 Han troops in Zhuo County directly under Huo Qubing''s iron cavalry. Wei Qing''s situation was suddenly dangerous.
Now that things have come to this point, it is meaningless to blame Xue Gang, so Wei Qing can only try his best to rescue him.
While Huo Qubing''s troops were still entering Zhuo County, Wei Qing streamlined the defense line arrangement of Zhuo County, voluntarily gave up the defense of a county in the south, defended the four central and northern counties including Zhuo County, and garrisoned the western front.
Wei Qing didn''t know whether such an arrangement could block Bai Qi and Huo Qubing''s army of 100,000, but now he can only do his best to leave his fate.
Learning that Wei Qing voluntarily gave up a city, Bai Qi immediately ordered Luo Cheng to lead the army to occupy it, implement a step-by-step pressing strategy against the Han army, and gradually compress the scope of the Han army''s activities.
At the same time, Huo Qubing''s troops also formally invaded Zhuo County, launched an offensive from the west, and attacked Wei Qing with Bai Qi.
Bai Qi learned that Huo Qubing had arrived, and immediately sent 30,000 troops, divided into ten routes, each with three thousand people. He used exhausted soldiers and tactics to constantly raid Wei Qing''s troops, and Wei Qing was so tired that he was never tired of it.
Since then, the Battle of Zhuo County has officially begun. The wars in Zhuo County were raging, and Xue Rengui and Lu Bu from Shanggu County also continued to march towards Guangyang County after joining forces.
When Xue Rengui first attacked Shanggu, his headquarters had a total of 30,000 troops. After occupying Shanggu, he only paid 2,000 casualties to achieve a record of killing 4,000 enemies and 6,000 prisoners.
Xue Rengui''s 28,000 army, after the round with Lu Bu''s 17,000 army, the entire army totaled 45,000 army.
After some discussion, Xue Rengui left 5,000 troops to guard Shanggu, and together with Lu Bu, he led 40,000 troops to Guangyang County.
Once Xue Rengui''s troops arrived in Guangyang County, the Qin army''s troops in Guangyang would rise to 70,000, while the Han army had only 30,000 defenders in Guangyang.
The Han army had 30,000 troops in Guangyang, and with the 50,000 defenders in Zhuo County, the total strength had been reduced to 80,000, only half of which was in its heyday, and nearly half of them were new soldiers.
Since the five Qin army attacked Youzhou, the war started less than a month, but it won consecutive battles and first captured Youbeiping, and defeated Yuyang, and successively captured Dai and Guangyang counties.
In the huge Northern Han Empire, there were 180,000 troops in the five counties and forty-two cities. Only nine cities and eighty thousand troops were beaten by the Qin army. However, the casualties of the Qin army were negligible, and almost knocked the Han army to the ground and beat them up.
In these great victories, the Qin army''s strong national strength and strong military power were fully demonstrated, while the Northern Han Dynasty had no power to resist and became another stepping stone that allowed Qin Hao to climb the ladder.
Under the siege of 200,000 Qin troops, the Northern Han Dynasty was constantly weakened. Now there are no reinforcements outside and nearly half of its casualties are already on the verge of destruction.
Qin Hao would not show any mercy in this regard, and the more vicious and fierce offensive was still behind.
Xue Rengui led a 40,000 army to Guangyang, but did not march directly into Yanjing. Instead, he made the same choice as Su Dingfang, to capture Guangyang and the military capital as the garrisons. Now Guangyang has gained a foothold.
Guangyang and Jundu are the last acropolis in Yanjing. Once Xue Rengui successfully captures these two cities, Yanjing City will also become an isolated city.
The lonely city cannot be defended. Yanjing, which has turned into an isolated city, is only a matter of time before it falls.
The Han army naturally understood this truth, but under the threat of Su Dingfang''s 30,000 troops, the Han army in Yanjing was powerless to stop it, and could only watch Xue Rengui capture the two cities.
"Damn it."
Liu Che threw the battle report in his hand to the ground in anger and said angrily: "Can we just stay indifferent and watch Xue Li capture Guangyang?"
Wei Xiang stood up and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, Su Lie''s 30,000 troops are eyeing outside the city, waiting for Yanjing to send troops to rescue Guangyang. Once he leaves the city to rescue, he will hit Su Lie''s thoughts."
"Then you can''t sit still and wait for death?" Liu Che retorted.
Huo Guang, Zhang Tang, Wei Xiang and others looked at each other, but looked at each other speechlessly.
The Qin army''s troops have reached 70,000, while the Han army has only 30,000. The enemy''s troops are more than twice as strong as they are. If they go out of the city, they will definitely be defeated. What other ways can they do besides waiting for death?
