Chapter 796 The Battle of Changping

On the Songjin battlefield, 130,000 Ming troops and 40,000 Mingguan troops were besieged by the Qing army in the area south of Jinzhou City.

The Qing army dug trenches and cut off the Ming army's food route. The trenches were eight feet deep and ten feet wide, and they forced the Ming army to siege, and 130,000 Ming soldiers were in panic.

Mingguan just arrived at the battlefield of the Battle of Songjin and was facing a desperate situation.

The Ming army chief Hong Chengchou wanted to fight the Qing army decisively, but the eight generals controlled by Hong Chengchou and the Ming army's supervisor advocated breaking out separately.

Mingguan formed a single army and did not obey Hong Chengchou's orders: "Hong Chengchou wanted to put it to death and live, but the eight generals established by the court each had their own troops and were respectful. Hong Chengchou might not be able to control them, and most of them would choose to accept the proposals of the generals. Now in a desperate situation, he should be like Han Xin, and fight with his back to the waters. How could he break through the scattered scattered, be divided and surrounded by the Qing army, and then annihilated?"

Chang Yuchun and Li Chengliang were brought to participate in the Battle of Songjin by Mingguan. He was almost angry to death by the generals of the Ming army, the military supervisor and other senior officials.

The generals of the Ming army were timid and unwilling to fight to the death, so they advocated fleeing back to Ningyuan.

Chang Yuchun and Li Chengliang also scoffed at these generals: "Lord, how should we break the deadlock?"

"Among the generals of the Ming army, Wang Pu, general of Datong, general of Ningyuan, Wu Sangui, and others lack the intention to fight. They may lead their troops to escape soon and must be taken down. We coerce Hong Chengchou to fight the Qing army. If they dare to resist, they will kill them. If the decisive battle loses, we will leave here. Anyway, no matter whether they win or lose, they will always have a try, otherwise there will be regrets in this life!"

Mingguan seemed to have made up his mind.

The major battles between the Ming army and the Qing army in 1641 were basically defeated repeatedly. Not many years after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, they had lost their morale. Ming care suspected that the morale of the Ming army on the battlefield is even lower than 40, and the generals have no fighting spirit.

But Mingguan still has the ability to restore part of the Ming army's morale, and there is still hope to defeat Huang Taiji's Eight Banners Cavalry.

The equipment of the Ming army was not weak, but the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the generals didn't know what they were doing. The emperor and civil servants could not deal with Li Zicheng inside the pass and Huang Taiji outside the pass.

Wu Sangui, who had been killed by Chu Tian once in the main world, was targeted again on the battlefield of the Battle of Songjin.

Chang Yuchun said sternly: "Please rest assured, if they dare to disobey, I will personally cut off their heads."

"No matter whether you win or lose, Wu Sangui must die."

As soon as Mingguan finished speaking, General Wu Sangui of Ningyuan felt a chill behind him, and he seemed to feel that he was in danger of his life.

...

On the battlefield of Changping, the sky was hazy and the wind was gushing. The 400,000 Zhao troops were besieged by the Qin army and were at a loss.

The Qin army's flags were waving, the cold armor and the sharp long spears emitted a solemn atmosphere.

Bai Qi used cavalry to cut off the Zhao army's food supply route, and Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhao army, looked bloodless: "I was hit by the Qin army's plan and surrounded by the Qin army, but how could the chief general of the Qin army Wang Yi have such meticulous thoughts?"

Behind Zhao Kuo, 400,000 Zhao troops built barriers, turned into defense, and broke through at the right time.

Zhao Kuo was still commanding the Zhao army. It seemed that the Zhao army had not collapsed, but every Zhao general and soldier were worried, and his hand holding the long spear was trembling.

There were 600,000 Qin troops besieging Zhao's 400,000 troops!

Originally, the Qin army had only more than 400,000 soldiers and peasants, but Lao Qin, the lord of the Han Empire, chose the "extremely difficult" difficulty. The number of soldiers and peasants of the Qin army increased by half, reaching an astonishing 600,000!

Generally speaking, in a "extremely difficult" battle, the enemy's troops doubled, but in the Battle of Changping, the difficulty of the Zhao camp was already extremely high, and it was already quite terrifying to increase the troops by half.

Zhao Kuo wants to curse now.

He can't defeat the 400,000 Qin troops, but now there are 600,000 Qin troops opposite!

"The chief general of the Qin army was not Wang He, but Bai Qi."

Lao Qin came to Zhao Kuo and reminded Zhao Kuo, who didn't know what happened.

In Lao Qin's eyes, Zhao Kuo was just an inexperienced little brat.

Lao Qin experienced more battles than Zhao Kuo walked through, and the most important thing was that Lao Qin knew about the past and after the Battle of Changping.

Sure enough, Zhao Kuo heard that the Qin army's chief general changed from Wang Yan to Bai Qi, and his already pale face faded even more, and his voice was trembling: "Bai Qi, why is it Bai Qi? The scout learned the news and repeatedly confirmed that the Qin army's chief general was Wang Yan!"

"It's not difficult to change generals in secret."

While talking to Zhao Kuo, Lao Qin secretly called him unlucky - he was randomly assigned to the Battle of Changping by the system, and it was the Zhao camp.

Extremely difficult, the Qin army was 600,000.

This is pretty good. Otherwise, if it is in hell mode and the Qin army becomes one million, then the Changping battlefield will be really hell.

At least for the time being, Lao Qin still has countermeasures to solve the situation.

Jia Xu was brought to the battlefield by Lao Qin and had already thought of a way to break the deadlock: "The commander of the Qin army is Bai Qi, and his commander's ability is unparalleled in Changping and cannot be matched. He can only adopt conspiracies to resolve crises on the battlefield outside the battlefield."

Lao Qin nodded undeniably.

He really can't beat Bai Qi.

The "Extremely Difficult" mode is no joke, second only to the "Hell" mode, so it is extremely difficult for every battlefield.

In the Battle of Songjin, when Mingguan appeared on the battlefield, the Ming army had been besieged by more than 200,000 Qing troops, and the eight generals of the Ming army were dispersed and were dragging Mingguan's back.

In the Battle of Kunyang, Chu Tian faced 840,000 new troops. Wang Mang personally led the expedition, possessing many elite troops such as the Five Northern Army, the Tiger Ben Army, the Beast Army, as well as the Giant, descendants of the Pre-Qin military strategists, and the Nine Tigers of the Northern Army and other military generals and talents.

During the Battle of Changping, Lao Qin and the 400,000 Zhao army were surrounded by 600,000 troops commanded by Bai Qi and tried to break through.

"It's over, the Qin army actually replaced the commander in secret. Wait... Why did our Zhao State replace me as the commander general, and the Qin army almost changed the general at the same time? Could it be that this was also the Qin army's trick?"

As the son of Zhao She, Zhao Kuo was familiar with military tactics and at this time, he also reacted in time.

"Yes, the two armies change their generals, this is the Qin army's plan to disagree. If the King of Zhao is willing to pay some price, it may save the lives of the 400,000 army. I need you to send a letter to the King of Zhao. Otherwise, the 400,000 Zhao army will all be killed by the Qin army."

"How could the Qin army kill 400,000 people? Unless they are crazy, the six countries will be frightened and join forces to attack Qin!"

Zhao Kuo did not believe that the Qin army would kill 400,000 Zhao troops at one time.

Even in the Warring States Period, doing so would be criticized.

"The six countries have joined forces to attack Qin more than once, but how many times have they won? Among the six countries, Zhao is a great trouble for Qin. In order to attack Zhao, Qin lost many soldiers. If the captive of 400,000 young and strong Zhao, they will definitely kill everyone to eliminate future troubles. The Qin army should not want to fight a long war with the Zhao army again. What's more, one killing Zhao is enough to intimidate the other five countries. Perhaps the King of Qin will not bear this charge, but Bai Qi does not mind being responsible for the King of Qin. As a subject, it is very common to bear the charge for the lord."

Lao Qin's analysis made Zhao Kuo believe that Bai Qi would kill 400,000 Zhao troops after winning: "If you can put us in danger, I am willing to obey your orders."

Lao Qin nodded with satisfaction: "It is not that easy for the Qin army to give me the command of the 400,000 Zhao army to eat our army, at least it will cost a lot. No matter how powerful Bai Qi is, it is impossible to provide bonuses for the 600,000 army. I have never seen such a commander... Therefore, the 600,000 Qin army is actually led by several generals, but Bai Qi has more troops. We only need to attack other Qin generals, consume their troops, and make Qin bleeding, so that we can have the capital for negotiation."

Jia Xu said from the side: "Please command the cavalry at that time and cover me to break through the encirclement."

Old Qin's guard Yang Dayan agreed: "It's no problem. Although the Qin army is numerous, it's easy for me to attack its weak points with heavy cavalry and send dozens of people out. Just a military advisor, your martial arts are sparse, so what can you do if you lead dozens of cavalry out? Could it be that you can retreat 600,000 Qin troops with the power of dozens of people?"

Jia Xu laughed silently and pointed at the sword: "Things that cannot be solved with swords can be solved with the brain."

Yang Da's eyes were still confused.

Lao Qin's voice was low, using a volume that only Jia Xu and Yang Dayan could hear: "We have 400,000 Zhao troops to drive them. Even if the Zhao army sacrificed 200,000 to 300,000 people, as long as we can achieve our goal."

Lao Qin knew that Zhao's army was not weak.

Although the Qin army won the Battle of Changping, in order to eliminate 400,000 Zhao troops, 200,000 people died in the battle.

This time, the number of Qin troops increased to 600,000, which does not mean that the Qin troops are willing to bear too many casualties.

The real method still depends on Jia Xu's words.

"If I were in the Qin army camp at this time, it would be easy to win, but unfortunately... I have to rely on Wenhe to change my fate for the Zhao army. Even if Zhao pays some price and saves some young and strong people for Zhao, I should be able to get some rewards."

Lao Qin looked at his mission and chose one of the two conditions for victory in the "Battle of Changping": one, defeat Bai Qi, and the other, Bai Qi took the initiative to retreat.

...

Yingchuan County, Kunyang City battlefield.

"There are about 17,000 soldiers and horses, of which about 3,000 elite soldiers..."

Liu Xiu recruited more than 10,000 Green Forest Army in Yancheng, Dingling and other counties, and selected three thousand elite soldiers from them. All of these three thousand were equipped with war horses.

The Green Forest cavalry looked at Liu Xiu with something wrong.

According to Wang Mang's repeated increase in rewards, Liu Xiu's head has been worth 100,000 households and 200,000 gold, which is equivalent to Wang Mang rewarding several cities to those who killed Liu Xiu.

For the sake of profit, betrayal of companions is not impossible.

If Chu Tian had not owned a vast territory and millions of property, he might have been interested in Wang Mang's reward, tied up Liu Xiu's five flowers and gave it to Wang Mang, and returned to the main world after receiving the reward.

"Brother Chu, why did Wang Mang offer me a special reward? And my brother's head is only worth 50,000 households and 100,000 gold."

When Liu Xiu was recruiting troops, he was puzzled.

Why did Wang Mang target him?

Liu Xiu thought he was not as good as his brother Liu Yan, but Wang Mang insisted on offering a reward for Liu Xiu and regarded Liu Xiu as his number one enemy.

"Who knows..."

Chu Tian did not explain to Liu Xiu.

When Wang Mang targeted Liu Xiu, he naturally knew that Liu Xiucai was the biggest enemy in the Battle of Kunyang, and he had the ability to reverse the situation.
