    Chapter 2077: The Battle of Qin and Qing in Youbeiping (3)


    Huang Taiji attacked with all his strength but failed to shake Lu Long. This was completely within Nurhaci''s expectations. After all, with Lu Longshe''s defense, it was too difficult to break through the barrier with Lu Longshe''s defense.


    If it was so easy, the 400,000 Xianbei army would not have been blocked by Liu Yu''s Hebei coalition forces.


    "Have you ever explored the truth of the Qin army in Lulong''s Qing Dynasty?" Nurhaci asked hurriedly.


    "I''ve found out, and there are about 10,000 people."


    Hearing this news, Nurhaci couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    Fortunately, there were only ten thousand people. If Huang Taiji and Fu Jian''s 100,000 troops were still able to conquer casualties. If the Qin army had 20,000, it would be completely impossible to deal with it.


    "Immediately send Huang Taiji and Fu Jian the order to capture Lu Longsai as soon as possible at all costs."


    "Christ."


    After giving the order, Nurhaci leaned on the chair a little lost, full of concern about the battle situation on the front line.


    In the battle of Qin and Qing dynasties, the total strength of the Qin army was 350,000, while the Qing army was 300,000, but Qin Hao only used 10,000 troops to divide the Qing army into two and tightly restrained the 130,000 troops.


    Now the Qing army has 170,000 troops left in Youbeiping, but they have to face the fierce attack of 340,000 Qin troops, and are about to fall into the crisis of food cuts. Such a situation is a life-threatening death.


    "No, you can''t continue to be passive like this. You must buy time for Huang Taiji and Fu Jian." Nurhaci said in a low voice.


    The reason why the Qing Dynasty fell into a full passive situation was mainly because of the fall of Lu Long''s pass and the food route and retreat route were cut off. As long as Lu Long was recaptured, although all the crises would not be resolved, the situation would be much better. At least if it could not be defeated, it would still be possible to run away.


    Although Fu Jian''s 70,000 army is blocked in Jieshi Road, if it is a strong attack without any casualties, it will only be a matter of time before breaking through Qinzhai. Then, it will be able to successfully arrive at Lulong Pass and recapture Lulong Pass from both sides. However, the Qing army in Youbeiping must persist until that time.


    As soon as Lu Longsai fell, the Qin army in Youbeiping immediately launched a general attack. It was obviously to support Lu Long''s Qin army, and to capture the Qing army in Youbeiping before the Qing army recaptured Lu Long.


    Now both the Qin army and the Qing army are racing against time, but the Qin army is obviously more advantageous.


    Although the Qin army was the attacking party, it had an army of 340,000, which was twice the strength of the Qing army as the defensive party. Moreover, the distribution of the Qing army''s troops was extremely scattered. If it was not changed, it would be defeated one by one by the Qin army sooner or later.


    "The strategy of building fifty-five camps, not giving up in an inch of land, and layer-by-layer defense strategy was indeed feasible before, but now it is out of place.


    Before, I thought that if the Qin army came to attack, I would rely on these big camps to weaken the Qin army''s strength bit by bit, causing the Qin army to burst into blood.


    But now the Qin army''s military strength is twice that of our Qing Dynasty. If our Qing Dynasty is dispersing its troops like this, even if the Qin army can be weakened, our army''s casualties will not be small, which is equivalent to fighting with the Qin army.


    The Qin army suffered losses, but our Qing Dynasty could not afford it. ”


    Nurhaci murmured to himself.


    The Qing Dynasty established a total of 55 large camps, but seven large camps were captured by the Qin army on the first day. In the next three days, although the Qin army''s offensive slowed down a little, they still captured thirteen large camps in succession.


    Now there are only 35 camps left in the Qing Dynasty, and twenty consecutive strong camps were removed, which caused the Qing army to lose nearly 20,000 troops, of which 10,000 were killed in battle, 10,000 were captured, and the total strength was also reduced to 150,000. The situation of the Qin army on the attacking side was not much better than that of the Qing Dynasty. After breaking through twenty Qing camps, 20,000 troops were also injured and killed, of which 10,000 were surrendered troops, and the total strength dropped to 310,000.


    This is the case where the Qin generals personally participated in the attack. Otherwise, the Qin army would suffer greater casualties, which shows how great the casualties were in the attack.


    If the Qin army suffered a maximum casualty ratio of 40,000 or 50,000 casualties could be completely eliminated, and all the Qing Dynasty camps could be defeated, thus reaching the city of Wuzhong and Junmi.


    By then, the Qin army had 300,000 troops left, while the Qing army had only 100,000 troops left. The gap between the two sides not only did not narrow, but it further widened. The Qin army''s strength would reach three times that of the Qing army. How should Nurhaci, who was trapped in the lonely city, resist?


    So, what Nurhaci has to do now is to delay time as much as possible before the Qin army approaches the city until Huang Taiji and Fu Jian conquers Lu Long.


    After pondering for a long time, Nurhaci ordered: "Send the order, give up the 25th battalion, and concentrate troops to defend the tenth battalion that is the strongest."


    If the troops are still dispersed and the Qin army is waiting for the attack from one battalion after another, it will only further reduce the Qing army''s forces and will not play a role in delaying time.


    The 55 large villages established by Nurhaci have uneven defenses, and not every one has strong defense.


    Those small camps with only a thousand people or less than a thousand people could not delay the Qin army for one day even if they exhausted all their troops.


    So, it’s better to give up just now, and it’s better to concentrate your troops and defend the ten camps with the strongest defense.


    Among these fifty-five camps, there are more than a dozen camps built against the mountain, which are the work of Nurhaci spent his time, and their defense is far better than other camps.


    Concentrating troops to defend these ten camps may still not be able to block the Qin army''s offensive, but the effect of delaying time is definitely much better than defending thirty-five large camps.


    The garrisons guarding the battalions on the front line immediately breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Nurhaci''s order to retreat.


    The Qin army''s offensive was too fierce, and it was not something that they could resist. If they forced their resistance, they would have died. If they hadn''t been concerned about the small family in the rear, they would have surrendered to the Qin army long ago.


    Now that the Qing emperor ordered a retreat, they naturally wanted to do so, and led their troops to abandon the camp and retreat overnight.


    After dawn, Long Qi led 10,000 troops to attack the camp, but found that the camp to be attacked was empty.


    Long Qi has always been cautious, afraid that this is a trap, so he first sent spies to the camp to investigate and confirm that there were no ambushers and no objects to attract fire in the camp, and there were still no entire army to enter the camp, but instead brought two thousand troops into the camp to investigate.


    "Brother Long, it seems that this is really an empty camp." Zhong Limei said.


    After being silent for a moment, Long Qi nodded, but was extremely puzzled.


    The Qing Dynasty''s living space was already small and was squeezed by the Qin army, so how could it take the initiative to give up this camp?


    "Immediately inform the governor of the situation here and let us continue to move forward." Long Qi ordered.


    Long Qifei Ge sent a letter to inform Bai Qi of the empty camp, and he led the army to continue to advance, but found that there was more than one empty camp, and the two subsequent large camps were actually empty camps.
