Chapter 2117: Breaking Yanshan and beheading Tuoba Gui (Part 1)
Chapter 2115: Defeat Yanshan and behead Tuoba Gui (Part 1)
Since the war started, Bai Qi and Xue Rengui have been restraining Jin Wushu and Tuoba Gui''s troops to prevent the two troops from increasing their troops to support Tuoba Tao when Wei Qing attacked the camp.
Now Wei Qing has broken through three battalions in a row, and is only the last battalion away from opening up the Yanshan Mountain Road.
It can be imagined that although Tuoba Gui will not give up the other battalions, he will definitely concentrate his elite troops and defend the last fourth battalion to the death.
This battle is destined to be extremely tragic, and even Tuoba Gui and Jin Wushu will visit the Fourth Battalion in person, so it is no longer of great significance to keep Xue Rengui in his original position.
In addition, Xue Rengui''s troops are also reorganized troops, so they are naturally the best cannon fodder for the attack.
Xue Rengui didn''t have much resistance to being the deputy general for Wei Qing. After all, Wei Qing took good care of his son, and Wei Qing is indeed the best choice for the main general, so it would not be a humiliation for him.
Therefore, after receiving Qin Hao''s order, Xue Rengui immediately prepared to withdraw his troops to replace Wei Qing''s troops, but he left Zhou Yafu to lead 5,000 troops to continue to stay and restrain Jin Wushu''s troops, although he didn''t know whether Jin Wushu was still in the camp.
Xue Rengui guessed well. At this time, Jin Wushu was indeed not in the camp. He and his elite troops were transferred to the Fourth Battalion by Tuoba Gui, and Tuoba Gui''s troops were also sent together.
As Qin Hao expected, after learning that the third battalion had been lost and the Yanshan Passage was about to be opened, Tuoba Gui decisively decided to concentrate his elite troops to defend the fourth battalion. After all, if the fourth battalion was lost, it would be meaningless to defend the other battalions.
Of course, although Tuoba Gui cut down the defenders of the other camps, he did not give up completely. After all, he could cross Yanshan from here, so the defenders could be cut down but could not be withdrawn.
Tuoba Gui mobilized a total of 15,000 defenders to defend the Fourth Battalion, which actually exceeded the maximum bearing range that the Fourth Battalion could accommodate. So Tuoba Gui set up another battalion three miles away from the back of the battalion, and immediately dispatched reinforcements in the rear if the front line was in short supply.
Under Tuoba Gui''s operation, the Fourth Battalion defenders were replaced by elite troops drawn from each battalion and shouted the slogan "Swear to defend Yanshan to the death."
In addition to elite soldiers, the lineup of the generals of the Fourth Battalion is also luxurious. In addition to the famous generals Tuoba Gui, there are also famous generals such as Mountain Lion Camel, Jin Wushu, Yang Dayan, and Tuoba Tao.
Tuoba Gui was very determined this time. He issued a military order to Nurhaci, even if he sacrificed his life, he would defend the Fourth Battalion, otherwise he would apologize for his death.
In addition to expressing his determination, Tuoba Gui also took responsibility for Tuoba Tao. After all, the battle of the Third Battalion was indeed a bit miserable.
There were 10,000 defenders, but they didn''t even defend them for five days, and even the fifteenth prince Duodor died in battle. Tuoba Tao, as the guard general, naturally had to bear the main responsibility.
But both Tuoba Gui and other generals knew that it was not Tuoba Tao''s fault that the war was like this. He had tried his best. The Qin army, which was already stronger than the Qing army, did not hesitate to attack with casualties. If anyone went to defend the camp, it would probably be the same.
In order to protect his grandson, Tuoba Gui had to issue this military order. After making all the preparations, he waited for the new Qin general to lead the army, but unexpectedly Wei Qing was still here.
Not only Tuoba Gui didn''t expect that Wei Qing himself would still be the leader of the attacking camp, but Xue Rengui, the famous Qin army commander, would come to serve as his deputy.
If it weren''t for absolute trust, how could the King of Qin give such an order?
As soon as he thought about this, even Wei Qing, who had been full of resentment towards Qin Hao, felt a little moved. This feeling of being trusted is really intoxicating.
Wei Qing wanted to fight this battle beautifully, but he also knew that the Fourth Battalion was not easy to fight, it was a tough guy, so he had to wait until Xue Rengui came before discussing it carefully.
Subsequently, Wei Qing left behind three thousand intact elite soldiers and transferred all the wounded and tired soldiers to the rear for repair.
Two days later, a 40,000 army of Xue Rengui''s troops arrived at the front line, and Wei Qing personally led the generals out of the camp to greet them ten miles to show respect, but Xue Rengui found his son Xue Dingshan.
Xue Rengui knew everything about Xue Dingshan on the front line. To be honest, he was very satisfied with his son''s performance. After all, Xue Dingshan was not yet twenty years old. He was not as majestic as his son when he was twenty years old.
Of course, fatherly love is like a mountain. Xue Rengui is satisfied, but he will not show it directly. Instead, he will still be provocative to prevent Xue Dingshan from being proud and complacent. After the training of Xue Dingshan, Xue Rengui smiled and clasped his fists at Wei Qing and said, "Brother Wei Qing, you have troubled you during this period."
Wei Qing quickly replied: "Where is, General Xue is both civil and military, and has helped a lot."
"He, I, a father, don''t know, it would be great if I could not cause trouble."
Xue Rengui looked at his son with a disgusting look on his face.
"Dad, my child is not as unbearable as you said."
Xue Dingshan smiled bitterly. There are so many comrades present. Dad doesn''t leave any face for him.
"Shut up."
Xue Rengui glared at Xue Dingshan, and Xue Dingshan shut up honestly. When the generals saw this, they all laughed.
"Brother Wei Qing, you are the chief general. You tell me how to fight next." Xue Rengui asked.
Hearing this, Wei Qing felt completely relieved. He had been worried that Xue Rengui would be dissatisfied with giving him the surrendered general. Now it seems that he is thinking too much. Xue Rengui''s mind is much bigger than what he thinks.
"Tuoba Gui has dispatched troops from various battalions. Now the mountain lion camel, Jin Wushu, and even Tuoba Gui are all in the fourth battalion. Therefore, if you want to break through the fourth battalion, you still need to discuss it carefully."
As he said that, Wei Qing made a gesture of invitation and smiled and said, "Brother Xue, let''s talk about it before entering the camp."
“Okay.”
Just as Wei Qing and Xue Rengui were discussing how to break through the Fourth Battalion, the Qing army was also discussing how to defend the enemy. The one who had the most say in this was Tuoba Tao, who was defeated twice in a row by Wei Qing.
"Everyone, Wei Qing is a man who uses both hard and soft troops. If he is not careful, he may be able to fall into his plan. I think..."
Before Tuoba Tao finished speaking, disdain came from below.
"Tsk, if Wei Qing is really so powerful, then Bai Qi, who has no power to fight back, will he be invincible?
As you said, why didn’t Qin Hao send the more powerful Bai Qi to attack the camp? If Bai Qi comes, wouldn’t we all be dead? ”
Seeing that the person who said this was actually Shan Shituo, Tuoba Tao frowned immediately.
"General Shan, what do you mean?"
"I mean, if someone loses a battle, he will increase his ambition and destroy his own prestige."
"you…"
Tuoba Tao''s expression changed suddenly, his fists clenched, his eyes full of anger.
