Chapter 1906 Qin Qing started the war and Wei Qing was defeated
Chapter 1904: Qin Qing defeated Qi Wei Qing
After Xue Rengui, Lu Bu also advised: "Supervisor Su, General Xue is right. If you continue to attack forcing force, you still don''t know how many lives it will be filled. Even if you can capture Yanjing City, it may not be easy for the lord to explain."
Sun Lingming nodded in agreement. He had fully seen what madness is and what flesh and blood mills are.
When he lost to Li Ling, he only lost 2,000 soldiers. Now he has lost 20,000 to attack Yanjing City, which is equivalent to the loss of ten major defeats, and he still has not been able to defeat Yanjing.
Sun Lingming has never been a soft-hearted person, but such a large casualty still scared him. If he could, he naturally hoped that fewer people would die.
Seeing that Sun Lingming on his side, Su Lie agreed to suspend the offensive and knew that it would be impossible not to explain. So after glanced at everyone, he said, "Do you think this coach is willing to attack?"
Lu Bu and Sun Lingming and others flashed a trace of doubt in their eyes. Since you said you didn’t want to, why should you attack?
A glimmer flashed in Xue Rengui''s eyes and he asked quickly: "Is there something wrong in Youbeiping?"
Su Dingfang nodded. Now, Xue Rengui is probably the only one who can guess his idea.
"Just the day before filling the moat, Fei Ge sent a letter from Youbeiping. The 50,000 Eight Banners army in the rear of the Qing Dynasty had reached western Liaoning. The Qing emperor Nurhaci personally led 320,000 troops to invade Youbeiping, and the lord fought with 140,000 troops."
As he said that, Su Dingfang pulled out the original copy of the letter from Yiluo''s document and handed it to everyone for circulating it, and said, "The Qing army''s strength is more than twice that of our army. Although our Qin soldiers are good at fighting, they can''t beat four hands with two fists."
After reading it, Xue Rengui handed the original to the next person, looked at Su Dingfang and said, "So, Shuai Su, you ordered a strong attack, just to capture Yanjing, so that you can rush to assist the Fifth Army as soon as possible?"
“That’s right.”
Su Dingfang nodded and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Youbeiping is not optimistic. Our army is under great pressure. Once the Fifth Route Army is defeated, everything will be over.
Everyone, we must conquer Yanjing as soon as possible. ”
After hearing this, the generals realized.
Don’t Su Dingfang know that the casualties of the strong attack are even greater? He knew better than anyone else, but with the threat from the Qing Dynasty, the Qin army had to make a decision.
We should conquer Yanjing without regard to casualties and rush to help Youbeiping?
Or should we take steady steps to minimize casualties, but ignore the dangers of the 130,000 troops in the fifth line?
No matter which one you choose, it means that the other side will inevitably suffer huge casualties, and Su Dingfang undoubtedly chose the former.
In Su Dingfang''s view, the Northern Han Dynasty was already a turtle in the jar, and it was difficult to pose a threat to the Qin army, but the Qing Dynasty was different. The 320,000 new forces were ready to go, and this force was enough to threaten the Qin army.
Therefore, even if you pay the price of pain, as long as you can eliminate the Northern Han Dynasty and ensure that there is no threat in the rear, you can concentrate on dealing with the Qing Dynasty. Strategically, it is absolutely a sure profit for the Qin army.
But if Su Dingfang feels sad about the casualties and fights steadily, once the 140,000 troops in Youbeiping suffer too much casualties and the entire army is finally defeated, the losses will not be 10,000 or 20,000 elite troops, but more than 100,000.
Which is more important is obvious at a glance.
After hearing Su Dingfang''s explanation, the generals understood the seriousness of the problem and naturally they would not stop the strong attack.
However, after ten consecutive days of strong attacks, the entire army lost two-sevenths of its personnel. The Qin army is really tired now and must be repaired to exert stronger combat power. In order to allow the army to exert stronger combat power, Su Dingfang ordered the army to repair for two days, and then continue to attack the city.
The Qin army repaired for two days. Although it gave the Han army a chance to breathe, it also restored its combat power, and a more fierce offensive followed.
Under the offensive of the Qin army''s lack of casualties, Yanjing''s defense power has dropped a lot, and although the Qin army''s attack power has also dropped, the amplitude is not large and it remains at a level close to its peak.
The Han army surrendered greatly, and the Qin army surrendered slightly, but it still grew and the other was declining, and the gap in combat power between the two sides became even bigger.
Therefore, in the subsequent siege battle, the casualties ratio between the Qin and Han dynasties was further expanded, even reaching a level of 1 to 3 or even 1 to 4.
One person died in the siege, but three, four, or even five or six people died in the siege.
This is definitely not a normal proportion, but the Han army did not prepare soldiers, so they could only let the people fill in their lives.
Facing the Qin army armed to the teeth, Xue Gang was able to defeat one Qin soldier with six people.
Yanjing City has reached its most critical moment, and the situation that Xue Gang is most reluctant to see still happened.
Faced with the strong attack of the Qin army, the Han army that was unable to resist could only let the people fill in their lives. If this continues, Yanjing will turn into a dead city.
But with Su Ding''s scheming in the attack on the ranks and the large number of casualties of the enlisted men, the support of the people was greatly reduced, and they were even more afraid of the Qin army. If they asked the people to die, they would probably arouse civil unrest.
Just when Liu Che and Xue Gang were in a dilemma, a news that made them even more desperate came, that is, Wei Qing from Zhuo County was defeated.
After Huo Qubing led his army into Zhuo County, he and Bai Qi attacked Wei Qing on both sides, while Wei Qing gave up one county and narrowed his defense line to fight against the Qin army attacking on both sides.
Wei Qing only had 50,000 troops in his hands, but he had to face the attack of 100,000 Qin troops. The leaders were Bai Qi and Huo Qubing. None of these two people were easy to deal with, let alone the two came together?
Wei Qing really tried his best. He guarded Zhuo County for half a month, but while he had to deal with Bai Qi, he had to deal with Huo Qubing. After a long time, he still showed flaws.
In just three days, the Qin and Han armies broke out in the small Zhuo County, and Wei Qing was defeated by the Baihuo Alliance.
Wei Qing''s 50,000 army was killed in battle and 30,000 were captured, leaving only less than 10,000 retreating to Zhuo County to defend, while the total casualties of the Bai and Huo army were less than 5,000.
After the first battle, Wei Qing lost all his main forces and was completely out of reach. He could only shrink in Zhuo County and survive.
After Bai Qi and Huo Qubing won a great victory, they did not attack Zhuo County, but instead siege the city.
Bai Qi led a 40,000 army to surround Zhuo County to prevent Wei Qing from breaking out, but asked Huo Qubing and Zhang Liang to lead 55,000 troops to go north to support Su Ding''s attack on Yanjing City.
After learning the news, Liu Che was shocked.
With Wei Qing''s defeat, the Han Dynasty''s last hope was gone. The gap in strength between the Qin and Han dynasties was too huge. It was only a matter of time before the country was destroyed.
