Chapter 2131: King of Qin VS Emperor Qing (Part 2)
Faced with the 120,000 Qing army that was burning its way, and even the 70,000 Eight Banners Cavalry, did Qin Hao really not worry at all? The answer is of course impossible.
To be honest, even if Nurhaci burned his boats and inspired the Qing army to fight to the death, it would be extremely difficult to defeat the Qin army.
The gap between the Qin army and the Qing army involves many areas, which cannot be compensated by burning the boats. Moreover, the Qin army''s strength is twice that of the Qing army. Therefore, if there is a head-on decisive battle, Qin Hao is 100% sure to win.
But the point now is that Nurhaci has regarded the Qing army as an abandoned son and voluntarily abandoned the 120,000 army just to fight against the Qin army to lose both sides.
This is a bit disgusting.
In Qin Hao''s plan, the final decisive battle should be extremely easy, and casualties can be completely controlled within ten thousand people. However, if Nurhaci did this, ten thousand people might just start.
No one from the Qin army was afraid of the Qing army, but they didn''t want to pay so much casualties in vain, so someone proposed to avoid the limelight.
"Lord, the Qing army has only three days of food ration left. As long as our army retreats from Yanshan and guards the mountain, wait for the three-day period to pass, the Qing army''s food will be exhausted and will collapse without fighting." Long Qi said with his fists.
Most of the generals present had their eyes lit up and they all agreed. After all, no one would want to fight to the death if they could defeat others without fighting.
Everyone thought that with the lord''s intelligence, they would definitely agree to this method, but what everyone did not expect was that Qin Hao shook his head and refused.
"It is natural to be able to defeat others without fighting. Can you retreat from Yanshan? It''s simple to say, but not that easy to do.
Our army has a total of 240,000, and it took five days to cross Yanshan. Now that we want to retreat, how can we do it in a short time? Nurhaci couldn''t let our army withdraw easily.
Besides, withdrawing troops will reveal flaws. If the Qing army takes the opportunity to raid on the way to retreat, it is equivalent to giving the Qing army a chance to defeat our army. ”
Qin Hao''s words were sweating profusely. He only thought that avoiding the edge temporarily could minimize casualties, but he ignored that the Qin army that had just crossed Yanshan had not had enough time to retreat. If he really wanted to withdraw his troops as he said, he would put himself in a dangerous place.
"What the lord said is very true, but I will not consider it carefully."
Long Qi quickly admitted his mistake, and Qin Hao would not pursue it. Who told him that he was also his brother-in-law?
"If the three military advisors fight head-on, how many casualties will it take to win?" Qin Hao asked.
After Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen looked at each other, Zhang Liang stood up and said, "Lord, after our deduction, when the Qing army was fighting to the death with a devastating battle, even if our army''s strength was twice that of the Qing Dynasty, we would probably have to pay more than 30,000 casualties."
Qin Hao nodded, with no surprise on his face, which was actually lower than his estimated number.
Originally, only 10,000 casualties could be used to wipe out the Qing army, but now it has started three times.
Even Qin Hao had to admit that Nurhaci''s move was indeed tricky enough, but it does not mean that he had no way to crack it. But even if it could be cracked, there would definitely be more casualties than the original plan.
Although Qin Hao felt a little sad about the casualties, he was not afraid of challenges and could only secretly scold Nurhaci for being vicious in his heart.
"Since the Qing army dared to take the initiative to attack, how could our Qin army retreat?"
A glimmer flashed in Qin Hao''s eyes. He had already made a decision in his heart. After thinking, he ordered: "Send the order, the whole army will set off and fight the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, when I sent Nurhaci a letter, I said that the king invited him to see him in front of the formation and asked him if he dared to come. ”
"No."
The civil and military officials present responded in unison.
Before Qin Hao made a decision, anyone could make his own suggestions, but once Qin Hao made a decision, there would only be one voice in the entire army.
The 240,000 army marched, and it was said that the Jing flag covered the sky with a huge momentum, like a divine dragon with its mouth open, biting towards the dragon challenging itself.
In order to prevent the Qing cavalry from sneak attacking, Qin Hao ordered Huo Qubing and Su Dingfang to lead 40,000 cavalry each, totaling 80,000 cavalry to protect the two wings of the army. Qin Hao personally led the army to advance at full speed.???———
"Qin Hao wants to meet me in front of the formation?"
Nurhaci looked surprised and then couldn''t help but sneer.
There is obviously a conspiracy here, but no matter what conspiracy Qin Hao has, it doesn''t mean to him who wants to abandon the car to protect the coach, and she can also use the tricks.
"Go back and tell Qin Hao that I agree."
Nurhaci sneered: "Tomorrow, we will see each other in front of the two armies."
After the Qin army envoy left, a group of civil and military officials, including mountain lions and camels, stood up one after another, opposing Nurhaci''s decision to agree to the meeting, but Nurhaci had made up his mind, so naturally they could not speak.
"Report... Report to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has led his troops back from Lu Long and will definitely arrive at the battlefield tomorrow."
"Are you still back?"
Nurhaci sighed lightly, then pointed on the map and said, "I ordered the Huang Taiji tribe to station here in seclusion. After tomorrow''s decisive battle begins, I will send troops to attack the rear of the Qin army at the right time."
"Christ."
Nurhaci did not incorporate Huang Taiji''s army into the army. After all, there was no big difference in the decisive battle between more than 300,000 troops and Huang Taiji''s 15,000 troops participating in the decisive battle, so there was no big difference. It would be better to ask him to find an opportunity to sneak attack the rear of the Qin army. Perhaps he could gain something big.
"The next step is to arrange a backup plan."
A trace of coldness flashed in Nurhaci''s eyes. In his opinion, the possibility of defeating the Qin army was extremely low, so we must be prepared for defeat.
First of all, most middle and senior management will definitely not be able to escape if the people are to be withdrawn after the defeat, and only a few senior management can leave.
Secondly, after losing so many elites at one time, the Qing Dynasty''s national strength plummeted. Where will it go in the future?
…
These all need to be arranged by Nurhaci.
Late at night, Nurhaci secretly summoned a few senior confidants such as Shan Lion Camel and Yang Dayan, and hinted to them that if the situation in the war is unfavorable, they should focus on saving their lives.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and a day passes by in a blink of an eye. At the time of the year, the two armies of Qin and Qing also entered a plain, and this is the place where the decisive battle was decided by both sides.
The Qin army was 240,000 and the Qing army was 120,000, and they were confronted by the Wangtai in the center of the formation. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely cold.
When he saw Qin Hao appearing on the king''s platform alone and there was no guard around him, all the generals of the Qing army were shocked and threatened to send troops to kill Qin Hao directly, but they were scolded by Nurhaci.
"You really think Qin Hao will be so arrogant? Since he dares to do this, he will definitely have a way to escape."
After a cold snorting, Nurhaci turned over the horse and refused the mountain lion and camel for escorts, and was preparing to go to Qin Hao alone to meet.
"Your Majesty, you must not. Qin Hao is also very brave. Your Majesty may be held hostage if he does not bring his guards."
After hearing what the mountain lion camel said, Nurha suddenly sneered.
"If Qin Hao held me hostage, wouldn''t that be better?"
After saying that, Nurhaci rode his horse to the center of the formation without looking back, and jumped directly from the horse to the royal platform.
On the Wangtai, Qin Hao sat upright and savored the tea with a calm expression. When he saw the fully armed Nurhaci jumping up on his horse, he immediately smiled and said, "You are here, sit down."
