Chapter 2052: The situation reverses
After the Hundred Calls of Foreign Races, although only Hongli, Fukang'an, Heshen and others belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the surface, only God knows which hidden figures were implanted in the Manchu Qing Dynasty secretly.
The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. In addition, the counterattack against the Qing Dynasty is about to begin. Qin Hao will naturally not leave Xue Rengui, the god of war with more than 100 commanders, behind.
After the rapid destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty, Qin Hao mobilized most of his elite troops and generals to Youbeiping in order to prevent the Manchu Qing from attacking Youzhou.
At that time, Youzhou was far from stable, and many people still missed Liu Che's rule. In addition, the remaining forces of the Northern Han Dynasty were unwilling to fail and were always ready to revolt.
In order to ensure the stability of the rear, Qin Hao appointed Shang Yang as the prefect of Zhuojun in Youzhou, in charge of the government affairs of the five counties in Youzhou.
He appointed his trusted general Xue Rengui to lead 42,000 defenders and 30,000 surrender troops to guard the five counties of Youzhou to maintain public order and suppress the rebels.
Wei Qing, the former No. 1 general of the Northern Han Dynasty who had surrendered, was appointed to reorganize 83,000 Northern Han prisoners of war.
After Xue Rengui took over the military power of the five counties, under the command of Shang Yang, he immediately liquidated the remaining forces of the Northern Han Dynasty. He ordered the surrender troops to be responsible for maintaining public security, but he personally visited 42,000 defenders to carry out raids from county to county.
The iron-blooded methods of Shang Yang and Xue Rengui were very effective. In just half a month, more than 3,000 rebels were captured and killed. This freed up the anti-Qin forces in the five counties of Youzhou, and also made Youzhou The state family and the people talked about Xue's color.
Unlike Xue Rengui's vigorous and resolute actions, Wei Qing carried out the reorganization of prisoners of war in a leisurely manner. First, relying on his personal prestige and personal charm, more than 80,000 prisoners of war initially returned to the Qin army.
Later, under the leadership of Shang Yang, Wei Qing was extremely reluctant, but he still screened the surrendering troops one by one and killed hundreds of diehard loyalists of the Northern Han Dynasty. Only then did he take complete control of the surrendering troops and the reorganized army of prisoners of war.
As early as the reorganization and surrender of the army, Shang Yang had annexed the three states of Qing from Hebei in advance and mobilized a large amount of weapons and equipment to Youzhou. After Wei Qing completed the reorganization, these equipment immediately armed the reorganized army.
The reorganized army was reorganized from the surrendered troops of the Northern Han Dynasty, rather than ordinary people. They already have a certain training foundation, so with a little training and weapons and equipment, they can form a strong combat effectiveness.
With the joint efforts of Shang Yang, Xue Rengui, and Wei Qing, the counties in Youzhou have become increasingly stable. Basically, no anti-Qin forces can be seen, and the number of defenders has also increased sharply to 155,000.
Of these 155,000 troops, except for the 55,000 who must be stationed in various counties to stabilize the local area and cannot be mobilized, the other 100,000 can fully support the front line.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty would never have expected that the Qin army would stabilize the five counties of Youzhou so quickly and reorganize all the prisoners of war.
Therefore, once these surrendered troops appear on the battlefield, they can completely catch the Qing Dynasty by surprise, and the Qin army will also completely have the advantage in strength.
Xue Rengui did not want to stay in the rear, and Shang Yang did not want such a large number of troops to stay in Youzhou, so the two jointly took the opportunity to submit a letter to report to Qin Hao, hoping to transfer the 100,000 fresh troops from the rear to the front.
Shang Yang and Xue Rengui each have their own opinions:
Xue Rengui, from a military perspective, said that since the Qin and Qing Dynasties started the war, although the Qin army had continued to win battles, they were only small victories and did not fundamentally attack the Qin army. The Qin army still had the advantage in strength, and the one hundred thousand soldiers in the rear If the army arrives, the Qin army will completely have the advantage in strength.
Shang Yang was speaking from a political point of view, saying that although more than 100,000 surrendered troops had returned home, if they were kept at the rear, it would make the surrendered troops feel untrustworthy. In the long run, people's minds would change, which would be detrimental to the stability of Youzhou. , but if they are transferred to the front line and frightened by more than 200,000 main troops, the surrender of the army will naturally extinguish any small thoughts that should not be had.
The counterattack against the Qing Dynasty was about to begin. Qin Hao originally intended to mobilize Xue Rengui to the front line, but after receiving the memorials from Xue Rengui and Shang Yang, he immediately understood that Youzhou in the rear had been completely stabilized, and it was indeed not good for a large number of surrendered troops to stay in the rear. So it was decided to transfer Xue Rengui and 100,000 troops to the front line to participate in the final decisive battle.
Since the Qing army did not know that the surrendered army had been reorganized, Qin Hao did not directly pull the 100,000 reorganized troops into the Youbeiping battlefield. Instead, he asked Xue Rengui and Wei Qing to transfer the 100,000 reorganized troops to the Youbeiping battlefield in the name of reorganization. Yuyang County is at the junction of Youyang and Beiping, waiting for orders from the front line to enter the front line battlefield at any time.
Now that Xue Rengui has arrived at the front line, it means that a hundred thousand reorganized troops are in place.
Since the war between Qin and Qing Dynasty, although the two sides fought many times, no large-scale battle broke out. Therefore, the Qin army suffered casualties of more than 10,000 troops, while the Qing army lost 20,000 troops.
At this point, the military strength comparison between Qin and Qing has also become: Qin army 250,000, Qing army 300,000.
With the arrival of 100,000 reorganized troops, the situation between Qin and Qing Dynasty was completely reversed. From the Qing army's strength advantage to the Qin army's strength advantage, it was still an absolute strength advantage.
The Qin army of 350,000 faced the Qin army of 300,000. The total strength of the Qin army fully exceeded the Qing army of 50,000.
If you can take advantage of the strength and fight with the wind, naturally no one wants to fight against the wind.
Although Qin Hao tried his best to avoid it before, he was not strong enough. In addition, he followed a strategy of elite troops, so the opponents he faced basically had more troops than himself, and this was a rare battle in which he had more troops than his opponents.
In the past, Qin Hao's military strength was not as good as that of his opponents, but he was able to flexibly command the army, fully utilize the combat power of his troops, and finally come back to win against the wind.
Now Qin Hao has more troops than his opponent, more powerful generals than his opponent, and more famous generals than his opponent. He has a certain advantage in all aspects. Therefore, no matter how you look at this battle, there is no reason why Qin Hao cannot win. The difference It’s just a big victory or a small victory.
After the 100,000-strong reorganized army was in place, Xue Rengui came to the front line in person, and he also brought two generals.
The older general is Wei Qing. After all, the 100,000-strong army is basically surrendered, and he is the only one who can control it like an arm, so Wei Qing must participate in the battle.
The young general was a bit unfamiliar to Qin Hao, but seeing that his face looked a lot like Xue Rengui, Qin Hao had already guessed his identity in his heart.
"System, check the fifth dimension of that young man." Qin Hao ordered the system in his mind.
[Okay... Xue Dingshan: Commander 90 (96), Force 103 (104), Intelligence 78 (80), Politics 55 (66), Charisma 90 (95); ]
"It is indeed Xue Dingshan."
Qin Hao thought to himself that he was not surprised at all by this. He almost didn't recognize Xue Dingshan when he grew up.
