Chapter 2101: You come and I go
The news that Tuoba Tao wiped out the Qin army vanguard, killed several Qin generals, including Li Gan, and escaped unscathed in Wei Qing''s hands, was soon passed back to the rear, and this was naturally something that Nurhaci deliberately promoted.
Subsequently, Nurhaci directly appointed Tuoba Tao as the champion Hou and the general of the Southern Conquest, with a bounty of 100,000 or 10,000 acres of land. The same brilliant Wanderer was named Wu Yong Hou and the General of the Caval Caval, with a bounty of 10,000 or 3,000 acres of land.
Although Tuoba Tao and Lan Deli made great contributions, they could not reach the point of becoming a marquis directly, but the current situation was really special.
Since Qin turned into an offensive, the Qing army has been passively beaten and has basically not taken any advantage. With Lu Longpass falling and the retreat was cut off, the morale of the Qing army plummeted, and there was basically no hope of winning.
At this time, the Qing army had already reached the edge of the cliff, and in the second step, there was a deep abyss, but there was also endless darkness ahead, and despair and confusion filled the hearts of all the soldiers.
Just as the Qing army was about to fall into the abyss, Tuoba Tao won the first and only great victory since the war between Qin and Qing, which also ignited hope again.
Hope is extremely difficult to give birth to despair, and it is very weak. Nurhaci naturally has to do his best to protect it and let it explode.
It is precisely because of this that Nurhaci promoted the two of them in an extraordinary way, and packaged them into heroes and flags of the Qing army through heavy rewards and publicity, thereby re-inspiring the morale of the Qing army.
Since they wanted to make the two heroes, Tuoba Tao didn''t even defend them for a day and gave up the second battalion without fighting, naturally Nurhaci directly ignored them.
A hero flees without fighting, can it be called fleeing without fighting? That is called strategic abandonment, otherwise how could there be success in the future?
Besides, although Tuoba Tao did not defend the second battalion, he saved his vitality, and the defense of the third battalion will be greatly improved, which can be regarded as gains and losses.
I have to say that Nurhaci still has a few tricks. The Qing army had no way out, but Nurhaci''s battle had a little room for turning around, which was equivalent to opening up another way for the Qing army.
The power of role models is infinite. As long as the two flags of Tuoba Tao and Zhideli remain undefeated, the Qing soldiers will believe that the Qing Dynasty will never be defeated.
Of course, this road is still extremely difficult and full of thorns, but it is better than having no way to go.
Under Nurhaci''s hard publicity, the Qing army in Youbeiping soon knew that this made the entire Qing army extremely excited, and the morale that continued to decline finally stopped, and there was a certain increase.
Nurhaci was naturally overjoyed about this, and then he activated the second bomb, releasing the news that Yinzhen had convinced the Japanese emperor that the Japanese navy was about to arrive.
If Tuoba Tao won the first great victory since the war started, it only made the entire Qing army excited, then the news of the Japanese navy coming to aid was ordered to be excited.
Not to mention that Tuoba Tao only solved the 5,000 Qin army, or 50,000. The situation of the Qing army would not change at all, but it would be different for the Japanese navy to come to aid.
If the Japanese navy arrives, the Qin army''s coastal defense blockade against Liaodong will be broken, and the food and grass in the rear can be transported to Youbeiping by sea, so there is no need to worry about the out of food.
After the second shot, Nurhaci shot the third shot while the iron was hot, releasing the news that Huang Taiji was about to capture Lu Longsai.
Of course, this is also the only fake news among the three messages. Nurhaci didn''t know whether Huang Taiji could take Lu Long back in time, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he had to say so. Under Nurhaci''s operation, the Qing army seemed to have suddenly become lucky. The successive good news made the morale and combat power of the Qing army quickly recover, and finally the capital to bet the Qin army again.
Under Nurhaci''s intentional advocacy, Tuoba Tao and Zhideli have become a banner of anti-Qin, but others don''t know, but Nurhaci can''t know that there is too much water in that victory and the transportation component is relatively large. If the Qin army becomes serious, they alone cannot stop it.
In order to ensure that these two flags do not fall, Nurhaci decided to increase the strength of the two, so he ordered Duoduo to lead Yang Dayan, Xing Luan and other generals, as well as 5,000 elite Eight Banners Army to Tuoba Tao''s command to ensure that the Qin army could not open up the Yanshan Mountains.
After the order was issued, Nurhaci was worried that Duoduo, the son, would rely on his prince''s identity to seize the command of Tuoba Tao, and instead seized the command of Tuoba Tao, so he asked Wanyan Honglie to replace Duoduo.
Duoduo was extremely dissatisfied when he learned about it. He naturally did not want to stay in the rear, so he took the initiative to come to Nurhaci to ask for a fight, demanding to go to the front line with Wanyan Honglie to help, and repeatedly promised that Tuoba Tao would definitely be the main focus.
Nurhaci knew the personality of this son. Seeing that he had said this, he felt relieved and agreed to Duoduo to go to the front line. After all, a prince went to the front line is equivalent to an emperor''s visit, which can inspire the morale of the soldiers and the desire to fight to the death.
In order to defend the Yanshan Mountains to the death, Nurhaci used all kinds of methods except for taking action himself.
At the same time, Qin Hao also made further arrangements to open up the Yanshan Mountains.
When the war just started, the Qin army''s military strength advantage was still obvious, but with the step-by-step strategy, it was only a matter of three battalions that could cross Yanshan Mountain, the Qin army''s military strength advantage disappeared.
The Yanshan Mountains accommodate more than 300,000 Qin troops, so Qin Hao could not bring all his troops into the mountain. If Nurhaci came to Yanshan, it would be overturned.
The Qin army''s troops could not be exerted, and the situation of the Qing army was the same. After all, Yanshan was so large that it could not block the Qin army, so naturally it could not block the Qing army.
The current situation of the Qin army is that Bai Qi, Xue Rengui and Wei Qing led an army of about 100,000, including 80,000 reorganized troops and 20,000 main troops, and the last tenth battalion regardless of casualties.
The Qing army, with Tuoba Gui''s chief general, Jin Wushu, Tuoba Tao and other generals as the guards of each battalion, led 40,000 Qing troops to defend the last ten battalions.
Although the Qing army still has ten battalions to defend, the Qin army only needs to break through the fourth battalions to directly open up the Yanshan Mountains. Therefore, these four battalions are the core of the war between the two countries, and now one-half of them have been guided by the Qin army.
Bai Qi restrained Tuoba Gui''s troops, Xue Rengui restrained Jin Wushu, and Wei Qing was the main force of the attack, and Zhuao was responsible for opening up the Yanshan passage.
As for the other hundreds of thousands of troops of the two countries, they were blocked by the Yanshan Mountains and stationed on both sides of the east and west to watch the battle.
Due to the limitations of Yanshan terrain, the 200,000 Qin troops and the 100,000 Qing troops became melon-eating people, and could only wait for Wei Qing to open up the Yanshan passage, or Tuoba Gui to guard Huang Taiji and retake Lu Longsai.
