Chapter 2061: The troops are divided into seven groups (Part 2)
What?
Wei Qing's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't believe that Qin Hao would let him, a demoted general, serve as one of the chief generals of the Five Route Army.
Not only Wei Qing was surprised, Su Dingfang and Huo Qubing were also surprised. After all, Wei Qing's situation was completely different from Gongsun Xuanyuan's.
The Gongsun family is already preparing to marry the Qin family. Gongsun Xuanyuan is Qin Hao's uncle. Even if he does not join the Qin army, he can still be trusted. Moreover, the total army commanded by Gongsun Xuanyuan is only 20,000.
Wei Qing was the brother-in-law of Emperor Liu Xie of the Northern Han Dynasty, and he had to surrender as a last resort. Although he had behaved very respectfully before, there was no guarantee that he would not harbor resentment deep down in his heart. If he rebelled against the enemy, the current situation would be very good. It will be overturned in an instant.
Wei Qing glanced around subconsciously. When he saw the scrutinizing eyes, he immediately understood what the generals were thinking and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
Wei Qing was just about to refuse, but Qin Hao was the first to say: "Wei Qing, my king always employs people with no doubts, and does not use doubters. Now that I have chosen you as one of the five generals, I will never change generals in the middle of a battle. You Don’t worry about anything else.”
Wei Qing's mind perked up, and after a moment of silence, he clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Wei Qing, you will definitely live up to your master's instructions."
"good."
Qin Hao laughed. Since he chose Wei Qing, he was not afraid of Wei Qing's rebellion. Moreover, with Wei Qing's moral character, he would never surrender and then rebel again. Even if he could surrender, he would never surrender to the Manchu aliens. .
After discussing with the counselors, in addition to the candidates for the main general, Qin Hao made the following arrangements for the rest of the candidates for the Five Route Army:
Bai Qi is the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army, commanding 70,000 troops. Long Qie is the deputy general, Zhang Liang is the military advisor, and the accompanying generals are: Yue Xi, Li Jin, Zhong Limei, Yu Ziqi...
Su Dingfang is the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army, commanding 70,000 troops. Duan Shao is the deputy general, Tian Feng is the military advisor, and the accompanying generals are: Luo Cheng, Ding Yanping, Su Xian...
Huo Qubing was the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, commanding an army of 40,000 people. Lu Bu was his deputy general, and Ju was the military advisor. The generals accompanying him were: Hu Luqiangju, Cao Jingzong, Bian Xiang, Han Xun...
Xue Rengui is the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, commanding 50,000 troops, Zhou Yafu is the deputy general, Xun Kan is the military advisor, and the accompanying generals are: Shi Bao, Pang Wanchun, Zhu Ling...
Wei Qing is the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Route Army, commanding 50,000 troops, Hu Luguang is the deputy general, Wen Zhong is the military advisor, and the accompanying generals are: Tian Yu, Li Ling, Li Gan, Han Zeng, Xue Dingshan...
The generals of the five armies have reached 100 points in command, and the deputy generals are not bad either. Except for Lu Bu, who is known for his bravery, the average command points of the other four armies' deputy generals are above 95.
Long Qie, the deputy general of the First Route Army, was actually more qualified to be the general than Wei Qing in terms of qualifications. However, in order to get Wei Qing to return to his post as soon as possible, Qin Hao had no choice but to aggrieve his uncle.
Hu Luguang and Duan Shao are very capable, but they are too young to be promoted to the position. However, they performed well in the Battle of Hebei and accumulated a lot of military exploits, and they can be promoted to the rank of deputy general. .
This time Qin Hao promoted them to deputy generals of the First Army, and after this experience, future promotions will be much easier.
As for why Lu Bu was appointed as Huo Qubing's lieutenant, it was because both of them were generals who were good at using cavalry, and with the help of Lu Bu, a super general, the impact of Huo Qubing's cavalry would definitely be stronger.
In addition, Qin Hao also assigned a military advisor with good intelligence to each army to ensure that the strategy would not be plotted by the Qing Dynasty.
As for the distribution of powerful generals, Qin Hao also matched them evenly, basically ensuring that each army has generals who can fight.
In addition, Qin Hao is still looking forward to Xue Dingshan's performance, so he specially transferred Xue Dingshan to Wei Qing's command in order to get him out of his comfort zone and hone his growth more rigorously.
Among the five armies, Bai Qi and Su Dingfang each had 60,000 troops, Huo Qubing had 40,000 troops, and Xue Rengui and Wei Qing had 50,000 troops each, for a total of 280,000 troops.
Among them, Xue Rengui and Wei Qing were split from the Youzhou reorganized army, while Bai Qi, Su Dingfang and Huo Qubing were all front-line troops. Among them, only Huo Qubing's 40,000 troops were fully cavalry.
The five-pronged army of 280,000, plus Gongsun Xuanyuan's 20,000-pronged army, the total number of the six-pronged army is only 300,000.
The Qin army has a total of 350,000 troops. It is divided into six groups of 300,000 troops, which leaves only 50,000 fresh troops. These 50,000 fresh troops will be led by Qin Hao himself to provide support in order to deal with various emergencies.
Since then, the arrangements for the Manchus were completely completed. The 350,000 Qin army was divided into seven groups, with Bai Qi, Su Dingfang, Huo Qubing, Xue Rengui, Wei Qing, Gongsun Xuanyuan, and Qin Hao each leading an army.
Of course, the most shocking thing is that the commander-in-chief of the seven Qin army commanders has reached 100.
In addition, there are three super generals, three gods of war, and dozens of super-level masters.
This is definitely a unique lineup. Even if you search all over the world, I am afraid that only Qin Hao can come up with such an amazing lineup.
Using such a lineup to deal with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties was quite a killing move, but Qin Hao wanted to crush the Manchu and Qing Dynasties with absolute strength, and the Manchu Tatars did not dare to covet the Central Plains.
The Qin army always followed orders and prohibited them. With Qin Hao's order, the Qin army of 50,000 in Beiping was divided into five groups in one day.
Bai Qi, Su Dingfang, Huo Qubing, Gongsun Xuanyuan, and Qin Hao each led one unit. Bai Qi, Su Dingfang, Huo Qubing and other three units were approaching the Manchu and Qing camps at the same time. They were ready to start a direct war. They could defeat the Manchu and Qing battalion defenders. Everyone was taken aback, and they all reported the situation on the front line to the rear and requested reinforcements from the rear.
Nurhaci set up fifty strongholds, each with a different number of defenders. The highest number was three thousand, and the minimum number was no less than one thousand. Facing the strong attack of tens of thousands of Qin troops, no one of the strongholds had enough troops. We can maintain our confidence, so calling for reinforcements is a good strategy.
For a time, all the major camps asked Nurhaci for help, and dozens of letters asking for help were placed on his file.
Faced with these requests for help, Nurhachi said that reinforcements would arrive soon, but in fact he had no intention of sending reinforcements at all.
He built these strongholds just to consume the Qin army's strength. Now that the Qin army has taken the initiative to attack, it is too late for him to be happy. How can he increase his troops to compete with the Qin army?
Not only did Nurhachi not send reinforcements, he also issued a death order to the front line. Even if the entire army was wiped out, the camp must be held for a month, otherwise even the family members at the rear would be punished. This order also ended the Qing army's luck on the front line.
Just as the Qing army in Youbeiping was actively preparing for war, Xue Rengui and Wei Qing had also returned to the main army and divided the 100,000-strong reorganized army into two. Waiting for an order from the King of Qin on the front line, these 100,000 people would immediately be put into the battlefield, giving Nurhachi a big victory. surprise.
At the same time, Gongsun Xuanyuan's 20,000 elite formation secretly moved toward the Tianjin Guard, while the Qingzhou navy in Beihai also came out in full force under the leadership of Zhou Yu.
