Chapter 2746: New Western Super God, Spartacus
Chapter 2743: The new Western super god, Spartacus
As mentioned above, Huangyuan City needs no people and no resources. It is neither a big city nor a strong city that is easy to defend, but it is a major city with an extremely important geographical location during the war.
As long as the three Sui and Tu Qiang coalition forces could defend Huangyuan City, Li Jing''s reinforcements would not be able to reach Ye Niushan, and Meng Tian would naturally have the end of annihilation of the entire army.
Once Meng Tian''s entire army is wiped out, Li Jing''s 50,000 reinforcements will become isolated and will face the risk of being defeated one by one by one by the coalition forces.
Therefore, the key to the victory of the Wild Bison Mountain is actually not in Wild Bison Mountain, but in Huangyuan City.
But it was such a critical point. Lunqinling, who had a 28,000 army, voluntarily abandoned the city and fled without even guarding it for a day.
Lun Qinling experienced three crushing defeats, but was hit hard by Li Jing, so he completely defeated himself and gave up on himself?
Of course not.
Although the three shameful defeats of Huangyuan Road hit Lunqinling with great blows, it even reached the point where he collapsed, it did not make him give up on himself.
If you are hit hard and unable to raise your head if you lose only a few times, you will not deserve to be a famous general. After all, no famous general is extremely strong in your heart?
As the number one general in Tubo, Qinling was also extremely strong inside. The reason why he was so out of control before was mainly because of the continuous blows, and finally Li Jing made a move, so his mentality completely collapsed. After he woke up, he adjusted his mentality.
The reason why Qinling took the initiative to give up Huangyuan City was actually because he knew that Huangyuan could no longer be defended.
The defeated Tubo army that fled back eventually affected the defenders.
When Yang Ren guarded Huangyuan City, the reason why he was able to block the fierce attack of the 100,000 Tubo troops with 20,000 Qin troops and persisted in Meng Tian''s support was because the Qin army was fearless and looked down on the Tubo troops.
Nowadays, when it comes to Qinling guarding Huangyuan City, although he has 28,000 people in his hands, the Qin army that came to attack was only half of the Tubo army at that time. However, after experiencing the disastrous defeat of Huangyuan Road, the Tubo army was already afraid of the Qin army like a tiger.
Before the war started, most people were thinking about running away. If the Qin army really came to the city, they would probably not need the Qin army to attack. The scared Tubo army would probably collapse on its own and could not defend it at all.
At this time, Lun Qinling was almost regretful, so he shouldn''t have let the 18,000 soldiers who fled back enter the city, so he should directly transfer them back to the rear, so that at least it would not affect the 10,000 defenders in the city.
If the 10,000 defenders were not affected, Lun Qinling would be confident that he would delay for another two or three days with his defensive advantage, but it was too late to say anything now, and the 10,000 defenders had been affected by the defeated army.
Lun Qinling knew that Huangyuan City would definitely not be able to defend, so he abandoned the city and fled before the Qin army arrived, because once the Qin army besieged the city, he could not escape even if he wanted to.
As for how serious the consequences of abandoning Huangyuan City?
Of course, I know this about Qinling, but I will die if I don’t die.
After all, Qinling was a general of Tubo, not a general of Sui State. He could not have ruined 28,000 Tubo men even though he knew he would be defeated, so he could only be sorry for Yang Xingmi.
Qinling also knew how much he was to abandon Huangyuan City for Yang Xingmi in Ye Niushan, so he notified Yang Xingmi in advance before retreating, saying that he had lost the battle on Huangyuan Road and was preparing to abandon Huangyuan City.
When Yang Xingmi received the message from Lun Qinling, he had already fought with Meng Tian in Ye Niushan. Although he paid a huge price, he finally forced Meng Tian into a desperate situation.
Yang Xingmi could have wiped out Meng Tian''s troops in the third battle, but Fu Cunshen''s timely participation in the war was once again put into trouble.
As the war broke out, Yang Xingmi was extremely irritable, but when he saw Lun Qinling''s instigation, his whole face turned green, which was too crap.
When Shu Luping offered his plans and sent troops to Huangyuan to forcing Daxing to force Li Jing to detour, Lun Qinling felt sorry for the casualties and took the initiative to take on the task, but no one forced him.
Yang Xingmi was a little hesitant at first. After all, the location of Huangyuan City was too important, but when he thought of Qinling''s previous performance, his strength and command were stronger than himself, so he handed over this important task to him.
But what is the result? Regarding Qinling''s 40,000 troops, he could not defeat Li Jing''s three thousand troops, and he also lost three times in a row. Now he even wants to give up Huangyuan City.
Once Huangyuan City is occupied by the Qin army, Li Jing''s reinforcements will be able to reach Ye Niushan, and the plan of the coalition forces to defeat one by one will be completely miscarried, and all previous efforts and sacrifices will be in vain.
Yang Xingmi could not accept this anyway, so he sent a letter to Lunqinling overnight, begging him to stay in Huangyuan City for three days, and reinforcements would definitely be supported in three days.
Yang Xinmi''s tone in the letter was extremely humble. In addition to Chen Ming giving up the harm of Huangyuan, he also asked Lunqinling not to give up Huangyuan City many times, but what he didn''t know was that Lunqinling had already killed first and reported, and had already fled when he sent the letter to him.
After seeing Yang Xingmi''s message, Lun Qinling felt apologized when he saw Yang Xingmi''s tone so humble. After all, what he did was indeed unauthentic, but Yang Xingmi asked him to hold on in Huangyuan City for three days, which was completely like standing and talking without a pain in his back.
Yang Xingmi did not experience the disastrous defeat in Huangyuan Road and did not know the true situation of the Tubo army.
With the morale of the Tubo army in Huangyuan City, let alone for three days, I can''t hold on even for a long time.
Fortunately, Lun Qinling ran away with 28,000 Tubo troops before the Qin army arrived. Otherwise, if the Qin army sieges the city, the entire army would be wiped out.
On Qinling, it was impossible for the Tubo army to make such a great sacrifice for the Sui Kingdom, so even though he knew that he had done something unreasonable in abandoning Huangyuan City, he could only apologize to Yang Xingmi.
"I''m sorry, Governor Yang."
Although Lun Qinling said sorry, his movements were not slow at all. He directly replied to the letter and told Yang Xingmi that he did not need to send reinforcements, because he had led him to leave Huangyuan City, so he should be prepared to fight Li Jing in Yebiao Mountain.
After seeing Lun Qinling''s reply, Yang Xingmi was so angry that he scolded Lun Qinling as a teammate of pigs, but it was useless because Huangyuan City had been abandoned by Lun Qinling.
The occupation of Huangyuan City by the Qin army is undoubtedly fatal to the coalition forces, because Li Jing''s reinforcements will soon arrive at Ye Niushan, and the total strength of the Qin army will also soar to more than 80,000.
Yang Xingmi led the coalition army to 180,000 troops, and it was already so difficult to fight Meng Tian’s only 40,000 Qin troops. If this is facing 80,000 Qin troops, and more than half of them are elite, it is hard to say who will win or lose.
In fact, Yang Xingmi and Yelu Deguang no longer wanted to continue fighting because the probability of winning was very low.
But the problem now is that even if he doesn''t fight, the Qin army will definitely continue to fight until they are completely defeated, and they have no way out.
The Tubo army has been reluctant to fight to the death in the Haizhou War because they were the guest army. Even if they were defeated in this battle, it would be nothing for the Tubo army. At worst, they would retreat to the plateau. After all, Haizhou is not their territory.
But for the Sui army and the Qiang army, if this battle is defeated, it will only be the end of the country and the family. For the sake of their own country and race, they have to fight desperately.
Since there is no way out, you can only fight with all your might.
The Sui Kingdom had already tried its best, otherwise it would not have introduced the Qiang Order, and even took the initiative to help the Qiang people expand their army.
In the previous three major battles with Meng Tian, ??the coalition forces suffered more than 30,000 troops, 80,000 of which were the Sui army and Qiang army, and the Tubo army only accounted for 20%, while the Sui army and Qiang army were mostly brave men.
So, although the coalition forces still have nearly 150,000 troops in Ye Biaoshan, after three battles with Meng Tian, ??the elite troops in the army suffered heavy casualties, so the overall combat power was naturally affected.
As for the 28,000 Tubo troops who retreated from Huangyuan, Qinling was not afraid of embarrassment. He directly told Yang Xingmi that he was defeated too badly in Huangyuan Road, and that the army was completely devastated and was no longer useful.
Therefore, after Lunqinling withdrew from Huangyuan City, he directly transferred the army to the rear for repair, which not only avoided contact with the Tubo army in Yeniushan, but also restrained some of the Qin army in Huangyuan City.
On Qinling, this is also for the sake of the coalition forces. If he deceived Yang Xingmi, he said that the 28,000 army was worthy of use, but if he really faced the Qin army, he would be defeated again. That would be to cheat his teammates to death. This would at least avoid dragging his back and at the same time restrain some of Li Jing''s troops.
Lun Qinling also promised Yang Xingmi that although the 28,000 troops that returned could not participate in the war, he would select 5,000 soldiers with combat power, as well as Yang Youji and other generals, and rushed to the Bison to support the coalition forces.
From the perspective of Qinling, being able to achieve this level for the Sui Kingdom is already considered to be the ultimate righteousness.
If Lun Qinling hadn''t suffered too much in the Huangyuan Road, and if he had lost his teammates too miserably, and if Lun Qinling had indeed cheated on his teammates, he felt a little guilty, and if he also wanted to defeat Li Jing to wash away the shame, he wouldn''t have fought to this point.
As far as Qinling is concerned, the Tubo people are concerned, if the Qiang people, who are also hosts, are still hiding, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Yelu Deguang decisively expressed his opinion to Yang Xingmi on behalf of the Dormant Sect and the Shinification Sect that the Qiang army of these two factions could be devoted to the decisive battle, and his statement also transferred the pressure to Yelu Lage and Yelu Diela of the Qiang and Treacherous Sect.
The other two leaders of the Qiang Treason Sect, Yelu Yindishi and Yelu Anduan, died at the hands of Meng Tian and Muzha in the previous battle with the Qin army.
After their death, their troops did not belong to Yelu Deguang, but were incorporated by Yelu Lage and Yelu Diela.
Yelu Deguang could actually take advantage of the death of the two people and take the opportunity to force the two soldiers to recruit them, but he was afraid that the intention of seizing military power would be too obvious, which would stimulate Yelu Lage and Yelu Diela.
If the two of them are forced to flee and surrender directly to Daqin, everything will be over.
Therefore, Yelu Deguang would allow Yelu Lage and Yelu Diela to incorporate the military power vacant after Yelu Yindishi and Yelu Anduan''s death.
Yelu Deguang''s move was still very correct. After Yelu Yindishi and Yelu Anduan died, Yelu Lage and Yelu Diela were originally a bit sad.
The four of their brothers were betrayed Abaoji. Now the two brothers have died in battle, and they cannot compete for military power for Yelu Deguang. Naturally, they are worried that Yelu Deguang will liquidate them after he takes back the military power, so they are all ready to rebel and surrender to Qin.
But unexpectedly, Yelu Deguang did not force the military power, but instead allowed them to incorporate the troops of the other two brothers, which made the two brothers completely let go of their guard against Yelu Deguang, believing that Yelu Deguang had really put aside his father''s grudge, so naturally he gave up his plan to rebel and surrender to Qin.
Looking at the eyes of everyone, Yelu Lage and Yelu Diela knew that it would be impossible not to express their opinions, and they would not be able to fight to the death. So they both decisively stated that their troops would also participate in the subsequent decisive battle.
Seeing this, Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiongguan were relieved. The three major factions of the Qiang people decided to support him, which means there will be 50,000 Qiang people reinforcements.
The decisive battle in Wild Bison Mountain will soon be a situation where 230,000 coalition forces will face 80,000 to 90,000 Qin troops.
To be honest, even though the coalition forces still have an absolute advantage in military strength, Yang Xingmi did not have much confidence.
Because among these 230,000 troops, there were nearly 28,000 Tubo troops, which were completely scared by the Qin army and could only be used to restrain them and could not participate in the war directly.
As for the 200,000 troops who were able to participate in the war, most of the 50,000 Qiang reinforcements were recruits, and their combat effectiveness was not strong.
Although the coalition forces have a large number of troops, the components are too complicated, and they all have their own plans, and people are uneven and not united enough.
In contrast, although the Qin army has few troops, it has good training, as much equipment as possible, has high morale, and is united, which is something that the coalition forces cannot compare with.
In addition, Yang Xingmi is not the top among famous generals, but he has to command an army of 200,000 with such a mixed composition to fight against the elite Qin army commanded by Li Jing, who has never had a defeat before. This battle does not seem to be able to win no matter how hard he looks.
But there is no way out. Yang Xingmi has no way out. He has to fight this battle even if he doesn''t fight, so he can only bite the bullet and go on.
Not only did Yang Xingmi know that the probability of winning this battle is low, but Yelu Deguang actually knew it, but because he had no way out, he could only go to the same path with Yang Xingmi.
Yang Xingmi had no chance of winning in this battle. After all, his opponent Li Jing was too strong, and the power of the large-scale joint combat of the Qin army was not something he could defeat. However, because of the existence of a person outside the battlefield, there were some twists and turns in this battle without any suspense.
And this person turned out to be the new super general of the West, Spartacus.
