Chapter 2832: When the news of Daxing City was broken is transmitted back to Central Plains
This time the Qin army attacked the Central Plains, and millions of troops were divided into eight groups, and four of them attacked the Wei State. Among the four groups, the most powerful offensive were Ying Hao and Han Xin from the South.
Before Bai Qi was blocked north of the Yellow River and Zhang Liao was blocked from the official crossing line, Ying Hao and Han Xin both attacked Yingchuan and killed all directions, and the losses were not big.
I thought the Southern Route Army would first attack the heartland of the Central Plains and complete the great cause of destroying the country. However, in order to cooperate with Bai Qi''s plan, the two Qin troops on the Southern Route had to suspend the offensive, which made Xuchang City persist until now.
Naturally, it is impossible for Daqin to announce it directly, so the explanation to ordinary soldiers was that they were just that they were beaten too fast in the early stage and needed to be temporarily suspended to consolidate the rear grain channel.
This statement is naturally impossible to be convincing. After all, anyone understands how high the soldiers are.
Many of the Qin army in Yingchuan were dissatisfied with this, but the emperor had already spoken, and even if he didn''t understand, he could only accept it. However, he still held a breath of resentment in his heart and had nowhere to vent.
Now that the emperor finally ordered an attack on Xuchang, this gave the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers to vent, both the soldiers and the upper-level generals asked for battle.
"Your Majesty, I have been enduring for half a month. I must use my Huang Zhong in this first battle."
"Brother Hansheng, you are more than one tolerant. Your Majesty, Zhao Yun asks for a fight."
"Your Majesty, Ma Chao also asks for a fight."
"Your Majesty..."
The generals took the initiative to ask Ying Hao for a fight, which also made the originally quiet hall extremely noisy.
Ya originally thought that after returning from the victory this time, she could easily ask the emperor for a main attack task, but she didn''t expect that except for Dian Wei and Xu Chu of the personal guards, all the other generals were rushing to fight, and they knew that they would probably have no chance this time, but she didn''t expect that Ying Hao''s eyes would fall on her instead.
Arthur thought Ying Hao would order him, but Ying Hao still ordered others.
"This attack on Xuchang is a big deal. Our army should do its best to attack Xuchang in one go. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and other five people attacked the city at the same time." Ying Hao said in a deep voice.
"No."
The five generals Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu responded in unison.
The direct dispatch of the new five tigers shows Ying Hao''s determination to break the city quickly.
"The State of Song came to support Cao Wei''s 30,000 reinforcements, which was less than a hundred miles away from Xuchang. Someone must be held back to prevent it from affecting our army''s siege."
Hearing Ying Hao''s words, all the generals showed expectations, but Ying Hao said, "General Arthur fought well in this suppression of the rebels. General Arthur led 4,000 Detachments of Women, 10,000 infantry, and 3,000 Iron Cavalry to drag Zhao She''s reinforcements."
Hearing Ying Hao''s words, Ather immediately showed surprise and pointed at himself with a look of surprise, saying, "Am I?"
"Um."
Ying Hao nodded, and the generals also showed disappointment, and some even showed resentment.
Perhaps in their eyes, Arthur''s wife''s army was not strong, but Ying Hao knew that Arthur''s army was definitely one of the most capable troops in the Qin Dynasty.
Even though the Detachment of Women is now divided into two, Arthur''s troops still have a super **** general of 106, two **** generals with the potential of the God of War, and a large group of top-notch and first-class female generals.
It is precisely because of the large number of high-level combat forces that the Detachment of Women can achieve little casualties in each battle.
Although Xuchang is the most powerful city in the Central Plains, it is actually very easy for the Qin army to go south. After all, Ying Hao had already left a backup plan in the city, and there were more than one.
In Xuchang City, there are hundreds of lurking Black Ice Platform spies alone, and Chen Gong is also in Xuchang City...
As long as these thunders are detonated at the right time, how can Xuchang City not be broken?
However, after Ying Hao persuaded Mao Sui to surrender, Ying Hao learned from Mao Sui that Cao Wei had long known that there were undercover inside and had locked up several people from the top, including Chen Gong and Mao Sui.
This time, Mao Sui was sent to plan the Yinchuan Uprising. In addition to disrupting the Qin army''s rear, there were actually two deeper intentions. One was to test Mao Sui, and the other was to see Ying Hao''s reaction after Mao Sui was captured.
If Mao Sui has problems, he will definitely show off his strength during the action, and the result is obviously no problem.
If Mao Sui was loyal, he would never surrender after being captured. Then Ying Hao''s reaction to kill or release him can tell whether Chen Gong had any problems.
If it were killed, why did Chen Gong be released before? Then Chen Gong obviously had a problem.
If we let it go, Cao Wei will gain a loyal minister without any loss.
After listening to what Mao Sui said, Ying Hao discovered the profound meaning after discussing with Guo Jia several times. Needless to say, this must be Fan Li''s plan, and he was the only one in Cao Wei who could have such a strategy.
But Fan Li is so close to the monster. I am afraid that Ying Hao''s ability to persuade him to surrender is also good, so he actually persuaded him to surrender, who was originally loyal.
As soon as Mao Sui surrendered, Chen Gong was temporarily safe, and it would be not very cost-effective to let Chen Gong be exposed in Xuchang.
So, after thinking about it, Ying Hao decided to let Chen Gong continue to lurk. After solving the main force of Cao Wei on the Western Front, he would activate the Chen Gong thunder, which might have a better effect.
At this time, after two rounds of emergency expansion in Xuchang, its troops had recovered to 50,000, but since all the recruits were added, their combat power was weaker than before.
Due to repeated defeats in the past, the morale of the Wei army in Xuchang City was extremely low. If it were a field battle, the Wei army in Xuchang might be defeated by the Qin army. Only by relying on Xuchang''s strong defense can we barely fight against the Qin army.
But with Yuan Jiuling''s departure, Cao Bin and other generals in the city did not have much confidence. After all, after comparison, the gap in strength between the two sides was too big.
The 80,000 Qin troops outside the city not only had high morale and sufficient soldiers and food, but also had many powerful generals. Zhao Huang, Ma Dianxu and other brave generals emerged one after another.
In contrast, in Xuchang City, only Xue Ju, Zhu Hai and Zhang Guifang can match them. The only thing that makes Cao Bin and others glad is that the 30,000 reinforcements sent by the State of Song are far away from Xuchang City
After Bai Qi captured Baima Ferry and officially entered the Central Plains from north of the Yellow River, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di both tacitly sent reinforcements.
The difference is that the 40,000 reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty entered Dongjun early under the leadership of Lan Yu, and joined forces with Le Yi to cause some trouble to Bai Qi.
In contrast, the 30,000 Song reinforcements led by Zhao She were obviously not that simple to enter Yingchuan to support Xuchang.
If the State of Song wants to support Xuchang, the nearest road is naturally north, but it will pass by Baiting.
Not long ago, the Qin, Wei and Song dynasties fought in Baiting, with five thousand killed in the Qin army and nine thousand killed in the Wei and Song dynasties.
Shortly after the war, Han Xin ordered Luo Hongxin to lead 8,000 troops to station in Baiting, with the purpose of guarding the road to Baiting in the north of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao She has 30,000 troops in her hands, so she naturally would not be afraid of Luo Hongxin’s 8,000 people. However, if she takes action against Luo Hongxin, the garrisons from Kunyang, Wuyang and Dingling will definitely come to support her.
These three places are not far from Baiting. Even if the helpers are all infantrymen, they can arrive in at most five days.
No matter how arrogant Zhao She was, she was not sure that she would solve Luo Hongxin within five days, let alone after solving Luo Hongxin, she had to defeat Huang Tianxiang, Mi Houying, and even Han Xin and other Qin generals before she could arrive in Xuchang.
Zhao She had only 30,000 people in her hands. It was too difficult to complete this series of feats, so he decisively chose to detour.
The safest way is to detour Chenjun from Runan, take a circle and then arrive in Xuchang.
Zhao She felt that as long as he could enter Xuchang City, with his 30,000 elite troops and the tens of thousands of Wei troops in the city, relying on Xuchang''s defense, it would be enough to delay the Qin army for several months.
I have to say that if Zhao She entered Xuchang, it would indeed cause some trouble for the Qin army to siege the city, so Ying Hao would attack the city before Zhao She entered the city and sent Arthur to lead his army to intercept it in advance.
Since Yuan Jiuling left, Cao Bin regarded Zhao She as the last rescuer, begging grandpa to surrender every day, and he must wait until the Song army enters the city and attack the city again. But this is destined to be just a luxury, and the Qin army cannot give them a chance.
Now, the Qin army, who had been unable to move before, suddenly launched an attack on Xuchang again. Cao Bin knew that Zhao She would never enter Xuchang City.
"Report to the Grand Governor, the Qin Fenghuang Hou led nearly 20,000 infantry and cavalry troops to the east."
Hearing this, it was not just Cao Bin, but the Wei army present couldn''t help but sigh.
Going east? Then there is no need to say anything more. I must have gone straight to Zhao She. Xuchang will have to rely on himself next.
There are 50,000 defenders in Xuchang City, and 70,000 Qin troops coming to attack the city. The gap between the forces between the two sides is not large, but neither Cao Bin nor other generals have much confidence because there are too many new recruits in the defenders.
In addition, there is another thing that pierced Cao Bin''s heart like a thorn, that is, he has never found the undercover hidden in Xuchang. How can Xuchang City be defended with internal and external troubles?
Even though he knew that Xuchang would be defeated sooner or later, Cao Bin could only bite the bullet and defend himself. Who made him a general of the Cao Wei royal family?
"I ordered all the generals to go to the city wall to defend the city."
Cao Bin shouted and ordered, but at the same time he was a little nervous, worried that the Qin army would surround three and attack together on three sides.
If the Qin army attacked at the same time from three sides, with such a high-intensity siege intensity, with Xuchang''s current defender quality, it would probably not take long for him to collapse.
However, what made Cao Bin feel glad that the Qin army did not adopt the highest intensity siege method, but instead concentrated elite soldiers and strong generals to attack the Ximen. Although the pressure of defending the Ximen doubled, it also facilitated Cao Bin to concentrate elite soldiers and strong generals to defend the city.
As the Yingchuan rebel army was suppressed, the Yingchuan army, which had originally returned to peace, broke out again, and two wars advanced at the same time, but was suppressed by a piece of news from the northwest.
The news is: Yang Guang took the initiative to flee to Qicheng, and the Sui capital, the strongest city in the northwest, was defeated by the Qin army without bloodshed.
When receiving this news, Cao Cao, Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin were all stunned because the news they received not long ago was that the Sui Tuqiang coalition forces and the Qin army fought fiercely in Yeniushan. Meng Tian was at a disadvantage in all respects, and many Qin troops were injured, and even veteran Ding Yanping was killed in battle.
Just a few days later, Daxing was occupied by the Qin army without bloodshed?
What accident happened over the Bison Mountain? How could Yang Guang take the initiative to give up the capital and run away?
Although there is no specific information, the three kings of the Central Plains are not stupid either. Obviously, they understand that Yang Guang will take the initiative to give up the capital and run away, that is, the Sui and Tu Qiang coalition forces were defeated.
This discovery made the three kings of the Central Plains even more shocked. After all, the Sui Tu Qiang coalition could have nearly 300,000.
Qin Jun, no, it was Li Jing. What did he do to reverse the situation and turn the world upside down in an instant. This is too terrifying.
Although the three kings of the Central Plains do not know what Li Jing did, it is only a matter of time before they know it. But the most important thing now is to prevent the Qin army from entering the Central Plains after the destruction of the Sui Dynasty.
Although the intelligence only said that Yang Guang abandoned the city and fled, the Sui Kingdom still had a large area of ??territory in Xiliang, and even Haizhou was still there, the three kings of the Central Plains obviously understood it in their hearts.
The defeat of Ye Niushan, coupled with the loss of the capital Daxing, regardless of whether Yang Guang could break through the siege and flee back to Xiliang, even if he could really escape back, the Sui Kingdom would not last long.
Besides, if Yang Guang died in battle, the Sui Kingdom would immediately split, and it would be even more impossible to concentrate its efforts to fight against Qin.
As soon as he thought of this, the three kings of the Central Plains felt extremely anxious and summoned think tanks to discuss countermeasures overnight, but after all, it happened thousands of miles away. What could they do?
The only way to think of is to send a large number of envoys to the Western Regions and Haizhou to lobby local forces and major warlords in an attempt to drag down the Qin army in the northwest by disrupting the Western Regions and Haizhou.
But the effect is obviously not very good. After all, the Qin army has already gained an absolute advantage in the northwest, and it is only a matter of time before the complete occupation of Liangzhou and Haizhou.
