Chapter 2763: Wild Bison Mountain is a great victory, and return to Daxing City


    Chapter 2760: Wild Bison Mountain wins, return to Daxing City


    Meng Tian only took a long time to repair Xinglong Bridge. Just as he was about to continue chasing Yushu County, he was stopped by Li Jing who arrived behind him.


    "Grandmaster, although Yelu Deguang has fled far away, as long as our army sends light cavalry to pursue him at full speed, he should be able to catch up with him before he fled into Yushu City." Meng Tian said.


    Li Jing nodded and said, "This governor naturally knows, but this pursuit cannot be carried out by Brother Meng and Feixiong Army. Feixiong Army is appointed by the governor, and Brother Meng, you have more important tasks now."


    Meng Tian showed a puzzled look. Yang Xingmi and Lun Qinling were both dead. Is there anything more important than chasing Yelu Deguang? As long as Yelu Deguang can be killed, the entire Haizhou can be declared.


    Li Jing did not assign the task, but instead asked: "Brother Meng, the news from the Bison Mountain may have been transmitted back to Daxing. What would he do if Yang Guang knew about it?"


    Meng Tian''s eyes lit up. Before he could respond, Mu Zha, who was kneeling on the ground, snatched: "If Yang Guang knew that the Wild Bison Mountain Alliance was defeated, he would definitely be in panic all day long."


    Li Jing glared at the second son and said viciously: "Shut up, I ordered before the war that Yang Xingmi must be captured alive, but you, a child, let him commit suicide after capturing alive. Do you know how much trouble this move will cause to our army?"


    "Dad, no, the Grand Commander, the last general, no, I didn''t expect Yang Xingmi to commit suicide."


    Muzha said with a grievance, but he also knew that because he didn''t watch Yang Xingmi, he would commit suicide, which would indeed cause considerable trouble for the Qin army to conquer Haizhou.


    As long as we could catch Yang Xingmi and then order all over Haizhou in the name of Yang Xingmi to surrender to the Qin army, officials from all over Haizhou would not resist stubbornly, but would take the initiative to take over the Qin army to give them this step. After all, it is not their fault.


    But now Yang Xingmi is dead, and without Yang Xingmi comes to cover up the fig leaf, the officials loyal to the Sui State in Haizhou may not surrender to the Qin Dynasty easily.


    Although the main army has been completely annihilated, even if the officials of the Sui State in Haizhou resisted stubbornly, they would not pose much threat to the Qin army, but they would delay the speed of the Qin army''s capture of Haizhou.


    Among the seven counties in Haizhou, the Qin army currently occupied only four counties in Xining, while Xining County had a total of twelve counties, and the other eight counties were still under the rule of the Sui State.


    The Qin army''s territory in Haizhou was only a small part, and it just opened the portal of Haizhou.


    If one city attacks one by one, even if it can eventually conquer the entire Haizhou, it will probably take a year to wait for the army to run all over Haizhou.


    But for the Qin army, the most urgent task was not to occupy Haizhou, but to conquer the great cause and kill Yang Guang, and not to waste too much time in Haizhou.


    Therefore, the matter that could be completely solved by capturing Yang Xingmi alive was extremely troublesome because Muzha failed to watch Yang Xingmi.


    Although Muzha knew that he had not done this, he was still a young man after all, and couldn''t help but whisper: "Yang Xingmi was determined to die, who could stop him?"


    "I''m still quibbling. If you didn''t relax your vigilance, how could Yang Xingmi have the chance to commit suicide? After kneeling for an hour, I''ll get twenty military sticks by myself so that you can remember it for a long time. I''ll see if you dare to relax your vigilance on the battlefield in the future." Li Jing scolded.


    "ah…"


    Muzha''s face was full of depression, but he didn''t dare to contradict his father. Otherwise, if he would be more severe in punishment, he would suffer.


    Seeing this, Meng Tian advised: "Grandmaster, Muzha has only been in battle for a while and has not had a lot of practical experience. It would be a bit too strict to use the standards of a veteran to ask him.


    From the last general, let him get rid of the military stick, just let him commit crimes and make meritorious service. ”


    Li Jing didn''t really have to beat his son. Since Meng Tian has stood up and said love, he naturally took the stairs happily.


    “Yeah, what Brother Meng said is reasonable.”


    After saying that, Li Jing kicked Muzha and scolded him, "I''m not thanking Governor Meng. If Governor Meng hadn''t pleaded for mercy, I would have punished you heavily."


    “Thank you, Governor Meng.”


    Back to the topic.


    "Grandmaster, Muzha said nothing badly just now. Yang Guang put all his hopes in Haizhou, and for this reason he did not hesitate to issue the order to release the Qiang Dynasty and destroy his reputation.


    If you learn about the 270,000 coalition forces in Haizhou, you will be in panic all day long. "Meng Tian said.


    Li Jing nodded, then shook his head and said:


    "It''s not just a panic all day long. Yang Guang is not a person who waits for death. If he knew the ending of Wild Bison Mountain, he might give up Daxing City and lead his army to break through.


    Daxing is the most powerful city in Liangzhou. If Yang Guang voluntarily abandoned the city, our army would have occupied the city without any effort. ”


    A glimmer flashed in Li Jing''s eyes and he said in a deep voice: "Although our army has an army of 60,000 under Daxing City, there are no other powerful generals in charge except General Yan Xing.


    In contrast, within Daxing City, not only Yang Su, the number one general in the Sui Kingdom, but also many powerful generals such as Shi Wansui and Wu Yunzhao were there.


    This governor was worried that General Huluguang would be difficult to deal with and would let Yang Guang escape, so he was preparing to lead Feixiong Army, as well as some generals such as Li Mu, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha to return to Daxing.


    After this governor led his troops to leave, he will give all the responsibility of pursuing the remnants of the coalition forces to Brother Meng. ”


    Meng Tian nodded. Li Jing''s concerns were reasonable. After all, for the Qin army, Daxing City could not be ignored, but Yang Guang must not be left.


    Yang Guang had a good reputation before. As the first monarch to launch the imperial examination, he had a high prestige in the hearts of civilians and poor families. The Qin Dynasty also needed to care about the common people, so even if Yang Guang fell into the hands of the Qin army, he would receive good treatment rather than abuse.


    But with the introduction of the Jie Qiang Order, Yang Guang''s good reputation accumulated over the years has completely become terrible. The people of Liangzhou loved him as much as they used to hate him now.


    The people''s resentment needs to be vented, and Yang Guang is the best vent. As long as the Qin Dynasty can vent the people of Liangzhou, it can win the hearts of the people of Liangzhou without any effort, so naturally Yang Guang cannot escape. "Don''t worry, the Grand Governor, with this Governor here, I will definitely not let the coalition army escape, but..."


    Meng Tian pondered for a while and asked, "What if Yang Guang did not abandon the city and broke through?"


    “No, Haizhou was defeated, there were no reinforcements in the south of Daxing, and the reinforcements in the west were blocked by General Long Qie in Xianmei City.


    The reinforcements from the south and west sides of Daxing were unable to reach it. It was a lonely city in Daxing. It was only a matter of time to break the city, so Yang Guangding would not surrender, and breaking through was the only way to survive. ” Li Jing said confidently.


    In this way, Li Jing led two thousand flying bear army, as well as generals such as Li Mu, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha, to head north to Daxing, and the responsibility for pursuing the defeated army of the Sisan coalition was handed over to Meng Tian.


    In the decisive battle in Ye Niushan, although the 200,000 Sui and Qiang and Tu coalition forces were defeated, they found that only more than 50,000 were killed in battle, and the remaining 150,000 troops became defeated.


    As for the Qin army, the casualties were naturally not small. The 85,000 army died directly in battle, and about 15,000 other minor and serious injuries were about 15,000, of which 3,000 were disabled, and the rest of the wounded could return to the military camp after they were recovered.


    As for the 150,000 coalition forces that fled, apart from the more than 10,000 people who died in the pursuit, there are currently nearly 90,000 captured soldiers.


    In other words, there are about 40,000 to 50,000 defeated troops on the run, and Yelu Deguang, Liu Fang, Gao Longzhi, Sun Teng, Sima Ziru, Han Yanhui and others are among them.


    The remaining defeated troops fled roughly in three directions, mainly to Haidong, Huangnan and Yushu counties, and these three counties were the directions that Meng Tian would pursue next.


    "Send the order and order Fu Cunshen to lead an army of 10,000 to pursue Haidong County


    Shi Wang Zhongsi led an army of 10,000 to pursue Huangnan County;


    This governor personally led an army of 20,000 to pursue Yushu County. ”


    Meng Tian''s army ordered the order, and the 40,000 Qin troops immediately divided their troops to pursue the prisoners in three groups, leaving 10,000 troops to guard the prisoners in Xining.


    The Qin army''s failure to pursue the severing coalition soldiers also made the fleeing coalition soldiers miserable. After all, except for the cavalry, most of the defeated soldiers were infantry. They only rely on two legs to escape. How fast can they go?


    Faced with the alternate pursuit of the Qin army''s infantry and cavalry, a large number of defeated troops were caught up and they were all honestly captured, while resistance was only a dead end.


    During the pursuit of the Qin army, in addition to capturing a large number of prisoners of war, they also received many cities.


    After all, even the 270,000 troops were defeated. How could the more than 100 county soldiers in the city and the fleeing soldiers, who could stop the Qin army? It is better to open the city as soon as possible to surrender, so as to avoid the death of the city after being captured.


    In just the first day of pursuit, five of the remaining eight counties in Xining City were occupied by the Qin army, and four of them took the initiative to open the city and surrender.


    As for another county that refused to surrender, the county magistrate was loyal to Yang Guang and said he would not open the city to surrender. Finally, under the threat of the Qin army''s siege, the defeated soldiers who were taken in voluntarily opened the city gate.


    On the second day, the remaining three counties in Xining were all occupied by the Qin army, and one county in Haidong and Huangnan each took the initiative to surrender to the Qin army.


    On the third day, the Qin army officially entered the three counties. Many county magistrates from Haidong, Huangnan and Yushu took the initiative to submit a letter of surrender to the Qin army and surrendered in a glance.


    For these surrender factions, Meng Tian, ??Fu Cunshen and Wang Zhongsi naturally refused everyone and agreed to the other party''s surrender first. If there is really a problem, I will settle the score later.


    Yushu County, Yushu City.


    Yelu Deguang asked Xiao Dilu with a frustrated look on his face, "Uncle, how many people have we escaped?"


    "At present, our army has only 10,000 fled back, and there are 3,000 Tubo troops. It is hard to say how many of them can be in the end." Xiao Dilu said in a deep voice.


    "Ten thousand, there is only ten thousand, and one ten is not saved."


    Yelu Deguang''s face was full of bitterness. He knew that no one would come back next, because Meng Tian had chased into Yushu, and the remaining people would definitely not escape Meng Tian''s pursuit.


    The power of the entire Qiang tribe in Haizhou was to form a hundred thousand Qiang troops to fight, but only ten thousand people came back, and the remaining ninety thousand were either killed in battle or became prisoners of war of the Qin army.


    In this battle alone, the Qiang people lost half of the young and strong, which was miserable, which was really miserable.


    As soon as he thought of this, Yelu Deguang''s hatred for Tubo became a little heavier. After all, if it weren''t for the Tubo''s drag, the Qiang army would not have been defeated so badly?


    A cold light flashed in Yelu Deguang''s eyes and asked, "Uncle, how many Tubo troops are there in Yushu at present? Who is the commander? Do you know that it is us who destroyed the bridge to prevent Lunqinling from withdrawing troops?"


    “In addition to the three thousand people who fled back, Yushu currently has a total of 30,000 Tubo troops, and the commander is Lun Gongren, the son of Lun Qinling.


    Lun Gongren shouldn''t know that it was the fire we set, after all, no one escaped. Moreover, with Lun Gongren''s nature, if he knew about it, he would have had a stir. "Xiao Dilu said.


    In addition to the three thousand Tubo defeated troops who fled back to Yushu, the other 27,000 Tubo troops stationed in Yushu were the ones who fled back from Huangyuan City.


    Since it was defeated by the Qin army three times in a row, the army''s morale was lost and she could not fight. Yang Xingmi was not at ease to let them participate in the war, so she was arranged by Lunqinling to station in Yushu, while Lunqinling took 3,000 people to Yeniushan to participate in the decisive battle.


    In other words, there are currently 30,000 Tubo troops and 10,000 Qiang troops in Yushu.


    This army is no longer small, even more than Meng Tian’s pursuit army, but it is all defeated by the Qin army several times, with almost no morale or combat power. Although the number is large, it cannot stop the impact of the three thousand Qin troops.


    After Yelu Deguang pondered for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes and said coldly: "These 30,000 Tubo troops cannot be kept, so they will secretly reveal their location to Meng Tian.


    Anyway, it’s just a bunch of waste, so it’s better to use the lives of these 30,000 Tubo troops to buy time for our 10,000 Qiang athletes to retreat.


    Meng Tian must know how to choose between the 30,000 Tubo Army and the 10,000 Qiang Army. ”
