Chapter 2077: The Battle of Qin Qing and the Right Beiping (1)
Chapter 2075: The Battle of Qin and Qing in Youbeiping (1)
At Huang Taiji''s suggestion, Nurhaci sent envoys to Sanhan and Japan, while sending Huang Taiji to lead the army to fight against Lu Longsai.
Nurhaci only gave Huang Taiji 30,000 troops. It’s not that he couldn’t bear to give more troops, but that Qin Hao in front of him put too much pressure on him.
After Lu Longsai fell, the Youbeiping and western Liaoning were divided, and Nurhaci could only use 200,000 troops to fight against Qin Hao''s 250,000 troops.
The comprehensive combat power of the Qin army is already above the Qing army, and its equipment is also better than that of the Qing army. If the total number of the Qing army is less than 170,000, Nurhaci is really not sure that he can block the fierce attack of the 250,000 Qin army.
Therefore, it was Nurhaci''s limit to allocating Huang Taiji''s 30,000 troops. If there were more, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop Qin Hao.
In Nurhaci''s view, Fu Jian had dispatched 70,000 troops, and Huang Taiji led another 30,000 troops, totaling 100,000 troops. Under two sides, it should be easy to capture Lu Longsai.
What Nurhaci didn''t know was that Gongsun Xuanyuan had ordered Zhang Han to establish a camp on Jieshi Road. His plan to attack Lu Longsai on both sides would not be realized in the short term.
In addition, there are more than 250,000 Qin troops in Youbeiping. With the arrival of the reorganized army in Youzhou in the rear, there are now 340,000 Qin troops in Youbeiping, which is exactly twice the strength of the Qing army left behind.
This is a force that is enough to forcibly defeat the Qing Dynasty. If Huang Taiji cannot capture Lu Long in time, the 200,000 Qing troops in Youbeiping will have nowhere to run.

Youbeiping, the Qin army commander.
Qin Hao received news of Lu Longsai''s fall at a later date than Nurhaci. After all, Nurhaci''s position is closer to Lu Long, but it does not mean that Qin Hao''s reaction speed is slower than him.
"Lord, General Gongsun sent a letter from Fei Ge. Lu Longsai has successfully captured it. It took less than a day." Jiang Jie reported with an excited look on his face.
"good."
Qin Hao also showed surprise. Xuanyuan''s attack on Lu Long was as expected, but it only took less than a day, which was a little beyond his expectations. This showed that it was not very smooth to capture Lu Long.
After only one day, Xuanyuan''s defense will be more time, and Lu Longsai''s defense will be higher than expected. Even if the Qing army''s plan to attack on both sides is realized, it will not be so easy to break Lu Longsai.
"Lulong Pass has been broken, the Qing Dynasty''s food supply has been cut off, and it has completely fallen into a passive state. The next is the time for our army to counterattack."
Qin Hao''s eyes were full of excitement and ordered: "If you pass the order, order Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and Wei Qing to attack immediately according to the original plan."
"No."
Bai Qi, Huo Qubing and other five units were already ready, waiting for Qin Hao''s order to attack. Now that Wang ordered him to make a move, he was naturally as thunderous as the stones.
Among the five armies prepared by the Qin army, the three divisions of Bai, Huo and Su were stationed on the front line, and the two divisions of Xue and Wei were hidden in the rear. The Qing Dynasty was also defending the three armies of Bai, Huo and Su, and they didn''t even know the existence of the two divisions of Xue and Wei.
Therefore, after Qin Hao''s king''s order was issued, the three troops of Bai Huo and Su marched at the same time, but did not launch an attack, but instead acted like they wanted to attack with force. Bai Qi''s troops were 70,000, Su Dingfang''s troops, and Huo Qubing''s troops were 40,000, which totaled 180,000 troops, which had exceeded the total strength of the remaining Qing army. This movement naturally scared the Qing army guards from all over the country.
Even Nurhaci thought that the location of Bai Sukhuo''s three divisions was the main attack direction of the Qin army. After all, there was no one in Qin Hao''s central army that wanted to move, but he never expected that two other troops would emerge.
Xue Rengui and Wei Qing''s troops took advantage of the attention of the Qing army and focused on the three armies of Bai Qi on the front line. So the two surprise troops took a different approach and suddenly emerged from both wings, catching the unprepared Qing army off guard.
Within just one day, Xue Rengui''s troops broke through three camps, achieved the results of killing two thousand enemies and capturing two thousand prisoners, and pushed the front line east for ten miles.
Although the achievements made by Wei Qing''s troops were not as good as Xue Rengui, they were not much inferior. They broke two camps in a row, killed 1,55 enemies and captured 1,000 prisoners.
Among them, the young general Xue Dingshan performed the most eye-catching. He was the first to rush into the Dazhai, but also killed six major captains of the Qing Dynasty and three partial generals, and was the first to contribute to Wei Qing''s troops.
Xue Rengui and Wei Qing''s two troops suddenly joined the battlefield, catching the Qing Dynasty off guard. The arrangements of the Qing Dynasty were all used to prevent the three troops of Bai Qi, Su Dingfang and Huo Qubing. The defense of 170,000 was barely enough.
But now the Qin army has added 100,000 troops in vain, and the total strength has reached 340,000, which is as much as twice that of the Qing army. Then the previous arrangement is naturally out of place.
Xue Rengui and Wei Qing''s troops seized the initiative and broke the five major villages first, while Bai Qi, Su Dingfang, Huo Qubing took the lead and took advantage of the turmoil of the Qing army, and launched the most fierce offensive.
Bai Qi and Su Dingfang''s troops all had 70,000 troops. The military formation formed by 70,000 troops was a black cloud that was overwhelming the city. No, it was overwhelming the village, making people seem unable to resist, and the offensive covers the sky and the sun.
The Qin army''s bow and arrow shot over was a rain of arrows, and the flying stones hit over was a meteorite washing the ground, and the livestock were not left behind.
Bai Qi and Su Dingfang did not need to adopt strategies at all. Even if it was a dignified and strong attack, the Manchu Muzhai could not resist even if it relied on the right place.
In less than two hours, two more big villages were captured. The defenders were forced to retreat to another big village in the rear to defend, but Bai Su would send light cavalry to pursue him, so only a few could escape back.
The situation on Huo Qubing''s side is completely different from the other four armies. His troops are not as strong as the four armies of Baisu and Xuewei, but his victory is that they are all cavalry, so he had no intention of attacking the camp at the beginning.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army was attacked by our own side and had no energy to block the passage, Huo Qubing led 40,000 iron cavalry to drive straight into the heart of the Qing Dynasty like a sharp sword, and like a thorn, it made the Qing Dynasty feel like a thorn in its throat.
Under the joint attack of 280,000 Qin troops, the fifty-five large villages established by Nurhaci were as fragile as half of the paper.
The seven villages were broken in just one day. If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before the entire 55 villages were broken.
"How could the Qin army have an additional 100,000 troops? Then where did Qin Hao get the 100,000 troops?"
Nurhaci''s face was full of anger, and he roared uneasy and puzzled.
The 240,000 Qin army was already unable to withstand it, but now there are 100,000 more. The Qin army in Youbeiping has become 340,000, which is twice as many as the Qing army.
How can I fight this battle?
