Chapter 2685: Xue Rengui vs. Zhao Kuangyin (II), Qin and Song dynasties fight Ge Ling
Runan County, Xiping County, is located in the northwest of Runan, and the border with Yingchuan County.
After Jin Bi led his army to rescue Xue Ju, he retreated to Xiping with him and rested here.
"Damn it, I almost wiped out Luo Hongxin, but Huang Tianxiang came out halfway."
Zhu Hai looked unwilling. After all, Wei Song had too great advantage when the battle between Baiting.
The Wei and Song coalition forces had a total of 16,000 troops, dealing with Luo Hongxin''s 5,000 Qin troops, more than three times the enemy''s strength, and they were fighting on both sides. The generals had a complete explosion in the Qin army, and they had a chance to wipe them out in one breath.
You should know that the Wei and Song coalition forces not only have two war gods, Xue Ju and Zhu Hai, but also two peak gods, Xue Rengao and Jin Bi. After the combination skills of Xue Rengao and his father Xue Ju were activated, they could also be defeated by a war god.
In other words, the Wei and Song coalition forces not only had three times the strength of the Qin army, but also crushed the Qin army with only one **** of war. Logically speaking, it should have wiped out all five thousand Qin troops like a tyrant.
But what everyone in the Wei and Song armies did not expect was that Luo Hongxin, a rookie on the battlefield, would be so tenacious. He fought with 5,000 troops head-on for two hours, and forced Huang Tianxiang''s 10,000 reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield.
In addition to his own contribution, Luo Hongxin was able to do this mainly because of his own contribution, and the increase in the combination skill of Gaoming Gaojue''s combination skill "clear eyes and ears", as well as the effect of Chen Qi and Zheng Lun''s combination skill "Hum Harmony" sealing skill.
The effect 2 of "clear eyes and ears" increased Luo Hongxin''s 3 points command, causing Luo Hongxin, who has a command attribute to 88 points, to soar to 91 points, barely reaching the level of being able to cope with such a bad situation.
The effect of "clear eyes and ears" 3 increased Luo Hongxin''s full force by 5 points, allowing Luo Hongxin, who is 106, to remain unbeaten in the face of the two war gods Xue Ju and Xue Rengao.
The skill sealing effect of "Hum Harmony" effect 2 was also very lucky to seal Xue Rengao''s weapon skills, greatly weakening Xue Rengao''s combat power. In addition, Chen Qi and Zheng Lun delayed Zhu Hai again, which created the killing of Xue Rengao for Luo Hongxin.
At the same time, the 5-point force with the increase of ''clear eyes and ears'' effect 3 was still allowed to resist the death of his son Xue Rengao. In grief, Jiwu increased to 106, and his combat power soared.
It is precisely because of the assistance of Chen Qi and Zheng Lun, as well as Gao Ming and Gao Jue, that the five generals worked together, that Luo Hongxin could persevere until Huang Tianxiang arrived, and the battle that was bound to be defeated had a turning point. If no one of the five people was missing, it would be annihilated.
It takes a price to be weak and strong.
Cao Cao used the weak Wei to fight against the strong Qin, and the price he paid was that the two lines of defense fell in the short term, and many generals such as Jiang Huanchu, Yu Da, Xue Rengao, and Cao Shuang were killed in battle.
Luo Hongxin naturally paid a heavy price, that is, the death of the two generals Gao Ming and Gao Jue.
Since the war between Qin and Wei started, the Qin army has never killed two generals in battle. Therefore, in the eyes of the Qin army, even if the casualties in Baiting were much lower than those of the Wei and Song coalition forces, it was not considered a victory at all, and it could only be considered a loss-making loss.
But in the eyes of the Wei and Song coalition forces, under the absolute advantage, not only did they fail to completely annihilate the Qin army and kill Luo Hongxin, but they also lost Xue Rengao and nearly half of their troops, which was obviously a defeat.
Since the war between Qin and Wei started, the Wei State has been defeating wars. Now it has finally encountered a battle that can be won, but it eventually turned into a battle of defeat, which naturally makes it difficult for all the generals of Wei and Song dynasties to accept.
"The war has been completed, and the Qin army has retreated back to Yingchuan. Besides, these are meaningless."
Wei Wuji sighed softly, he didn''t expect the Qin army to be so tenacious.
If this trend continues, I am afraid that the three Central Plains will be defeated by Qin before the Chu State can completely annex the Wu State.
No, before Chu annexed Wu, Wei must not fall. Wei Wuji said in his heart.
As long as Wei, no, it is the three kingdoms of the Central Plains, and they can persist until Chu completely annex the Wu Kingdom, the liberated Wu army will be able to go north to support it, and the pressure on the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming will naturally be much smaller.
But it is obviously not easy to do this.
Although the gap in military strength between Wu and Chu is even bigger than that of Qin and Wei, the Wu army led by Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Wu Zixu and Sun Ce is really tenacious. The two sides fight back and forth, and it is not like Qin and Wei.
"How is General Xue Ju?" Wei Wuji asked.
Mao Sui shook his head and sighed softly: "Major General Xue died in battle, General Xue Ju was hit..."
Before he could finish his words, Xue Ju walked into the tent with an expressionless face.
“General.”
When everyone saw Xue Ju coming, they quickly bowed their heads and bowed.
Seeing this, Xue Ju just nodded lightly, as if he was not very sad, but his aura was extremely gloomy, and the temperature at the scene dropped sharply several degrees as soon as he walked in.
Seeing this, Wei Wuji wanted to comfort him, but after thinking about it, he still didn''t know how to speak.
After all, the only son died. How could he, an outsider, speak up when a white-haired man gave birth to a black-haired man?
Xue Ju didn''t care about everyone''s thoughts, and left the order "After a rest for a day, he would evacuate the camp to Xuchang", and left without looking back.
Wei Wuji, Mao Sui, Zhu Hai and others looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that Xue Ju was just holding on.
Wei Wuji was secretly happy. His only son was dead. Xue Ju and Daqin had a mortal hatred, and it was impossible for him to surrender to Daqin. If Cao Wei destroyed his country in the future, he might be able to lobby him to surrender to Chu.
Jin Bi naturally would not stop Xue Ju''s departure, nor did he have the intention to stop him. He would send troops to rescue Xue Ju, but he made the decision without asking his lord Zhao Kuangyin.
Just before Xue Ju broke through, Jin Bi, as the garrison of Xiping of Song State, received a letter of help from Cao Wei''s military advisor Cao Gui.
Although Cao Gui didn''t know which direction Xue Ju would break through, and whether Han Xin would leave a backup plan, he knew that if Han Xin left a backup plan, it would be dangerous for Xue Ju to break through from anywhere.
But at this time, Cao Wei had no troops to adjust in Yingchuan, and the only force that could leverage was his ally, the State of Song. Wouldn''t it be a pity if he didn''t use it?
So Cao Gui wrote a letter of help to Jin Bi, hoping that Jin Bi could send troops to meet Xue Ju to fulfill his responsibilities as his allies.
Jin Bi actually didn''t want to pay attention to Cao Gui. After all, his duty was to defend Xiping and send troops to rescue Xue Ju without asking for instructions. It was not a great achievement. It was a big mistake if he lost. It was a thankless thing, not to mention that Zhu Hai, the mortal enemy, was still among the Wei army.
Although Jin Bi did not want to send troops to rescue, he could not withstand the persuasion of his disciples Mei Sanniang and Dian Qing. In the end, he gave up his prejudice against Zhu Hai and personally led his army to rescue Xue Ju. In the end, he did not defeat the Qin army, but also lost a total of 4,000 troops.
Jin Bi is worried about this matter, worried that he will be impeached by civil servants in China for this.
Jin Bi was indeed impeached by the civil servant group of the State of Song for many crimes such as "unintentional requests, sending troops without authorization, and losing troops and losing generals."
But the King of Song was the wise king Zhao Kuangyin. Not only did he not punish Jin Bi for this, but he also sent 10,000 more troops to Jin Bi.
Runan, Pingyu.
Zhao Kuangyin stood at the top of the city, looking at the direction of Shangcai in the west, his eyes full of solemn expression.
Although the Qin Dynasty dispatched 150,000 troops to attack Song, the troops entering Runan had not yet captured the Tongbai Mountain defense line of Song State, and the troops entering Runan were only 50,000 iron cavalry led by Xue Rengui, who went deep into the battle and supported the war. The other 100,000 troops were blocked by Song general Shi Bao''s 10,000 troops outside Tongbai Mountain.
After Xue Rengui led his cavalry to attack Runan, he messed up the western part of Runan, which forced Zhao Kuangyin to devote all the troops from all over the country to encircle and suppress them.
Zhao Kuangyin thought it would be easy to lead an army of 230,000 and capture Xue Rengui''s 50,000 cavalry, but he didn''t expect that Xue Rengui would be given a severe lesson.
During this period, Zhao Kuangyin had fought with Xue Rengui many times, but Xue Rengui was like a loach. He could always jump out of the encirclement before the Song army completely surrounded him. He cracked the cage tactics of the Song army many times, forcing Zhao Kuangyin to fight him in a field.
Zhao Kuangyin was not a good deal. He fought with the cavalry in the plains. Even if the troops were more than five times the enemy, Zhao Kuangyin had to be cautious. So he adopted Yan Xiang''s plan and changed from siege to division of troops. The attack must be rescued, so he forced Xue Rengui to divide the troops.
Zhao Kuangyin sent Lu Wenlong to lead an army of 80,000 to assist Tongbai Mountain. Xue Rengui was indeed deceived. After all, if there was no division of troops to block the attack, once the Song army arrived at Tongbai Mountain, the time for the Qin army to take down Tongbai Mountain would be delayed, and the Qin army in Runan would be more dangerous.
Xue Rengui had to divide his troops to fight, and after dividing his troops, his overall combat effectiveness further declined.
Under the pressure and coercion of the Song army, Xue Rengui had to temporarily avoid the edge and gave up many cities. Finally, he met in Geling 100,000 main forces of the Song army. He had no choice but to face the battle.
In this battle, Xue Rengui fought with Zhao Kuangyin''s 100,000 Song troops with 30,000 Qin cavalry, and there were 10,000 Song cavalry.
After two hours of fierce battle between the two armies, the Qin army, which was at a disadvantage, gradually gained the upper hand. When it was about to overwhelm the Song army, Zhao She led an army of 50,000 to the battlefield.
The 30,000 Qin army fought against the 150,000 Song army, and the gap in strength was too huge, but even so, the Qin army fought with it for two days and two nights.
Just when the Qin army was already exhausted and the Song army thought it would win, Qin general Wen Pin led 5,000 cavalry to suddenly appear behind the Song army and launch an assault on the Song army''s central army.
It turned out that although Xue Rengui had to divide his troops, he adopted the plan of military advisor Lin Xiangru, and asked Yang Zaixing to lead 15,000 troops to lose, pretending to be 20,000 to block Lu Wenlong. The 5,000 cavalry led by Wenpin was hidden, while he himself led 30,000 cavalry to fight Zhao Kuangyin.
Xue Rengui''s move is naturally extremely risky. After all, the battle of nearly 200,000 people and the role of 5,000 cavalry can play is limited.
If the 30,000 iron cavalry led by Xue Rengui could not stop Zhao Kuangyin''s 150,000 infantry cavalry, not only would these 30,000 iron cavalry be wiped out, but the remaining 20,000 troops would not be able to escape.
However, with Xue Rengui''s command and Lin Xiangru''s assistance, he finally blocked the 15th Song army infantry and cavalry with 30,000 iron cavalry in the end.
Zhao Kuangyin was caught off guard by Yang Zaixing, and Xue Rengui also took the opportunity to launch a general attack. The Song army was defeated one after another, forcing Zhao Kuangyin to withdraw more than 80 miles to temporarily avoid the edge.
In this battle, Xue Rengui defeated Zhao Kuangyin''s 150,000 Song troops with 35,000 Qin troops head-on, killed 30,000, and lost 8,000 to himself.
After Xue Rengui won the victory, he only chased after twenty miles and retreated. After all, although the Song army was defeated, the main force was not damaged, and he still had the strength to fight again. The Qin army had already taken a big advantage and it was not appropriate to force Zhao Kuangyin too ruthlessly.
Xue Rengui won the battle, but ordered his retreat, and voluntarily gave up Pingyu and other five cities, retreating to Shangcai Xiuqing.
Although Zhao Kuangyin recovered Pingyu from Runan''s capital, he was not happy at all, because during the decisive battle between Geling and Xue Rengui, the Tongbai Mountain Spinning Line was captured by Qin general Tian Dan, and the guard Shi Bao was captured.
Now Zhao Kuangyin finally understood why Xue Rengui knew the risk of division of troops, but he still had to take the risk of fighting with him, just to attract his attention and gain time for the rear to capture Tongbai Mountain.
The Tongbai Mountain Spinning Line was lost, and 100,000 Qin troops entered Runan. The Qin army''s troops in Runan increased instead of decline, and completely gained a firm foothold in Runan. Now it would be difficult for the Song army to expel the Qin army again.
