Chapter 2075: The Battle of Beiping between Qin and Qing Dynasties (1)
At Huang Taiji's suggestion, Nurhachi sent envoys to Sanhan and Japan while sending Huang Taiji to lead an army to conquer Lulongsai.
Nurhachi only gave Huang Taiji 30,000 troops. It was not that he was reluctant to give more troops, but it was because Qin Hao in front put too much pressure on him.
After the fall of Lulongsai, Youbeiping and Liaoxi were separated. Nurhaci could only use an army of 200,000 to fight against Qin Hao's 250,000 army.
The comprehensive combat strength of the Qin army is already higher than that of the Qing army, and its equipment is also better than that of the Qing army. If the total combat strength is less than 170,000, Nurhachi is really not sure that he can withstand the fierce attack of the 250,000 Qin army.
Therefore, allocating 30,000 troops to Huang Taiji was Nurhaci's limit. If there were more, he might not be able to stop Qin Hao.
In Nurhaci's view, Fu Jian had already dispatched 70,000 troops, and Huang Taiji was leading 30,000 troops, totaling 100,000 troops. Under attack from both sides, it should be easy to capture Lulongsai.
What Nurhachi didn't know was that Gongsun Xuanyuan had ordered Zhang Han to set up camp at Jieshi Road. His plan to attack Lulongsai from both sides could not be realized in the short term.
In addition, there are more than 250,000 Qin troops in Youbeiping. With the arrival of the Youzhou reorganized army in the rear, there are now 340,000 Qin troops in Youbeiping, which is exactly twice the strength of the Manchu army left behind.
This is a force that is enough to forcibly defeat the Manchu Qing. If Huang Taiji cannot capture Lulong in time, the 200,000 Qing troops in Youbeiping will have nowhere to run even if they want to.
————————
To the right of Beiping is the Qin army's commander's tent.
Qin Hao received the news of the fall of Lulongsai, and Nurhachi would have stayed at night. After all, Nurhachi was closer to Lulong, but it did not mean that Qin Hao's reaction speed was slower than his.
"My lord, General Gongsun sent a message from a flying pigeon. Lulongsai has been successfully captured. It only took less than a day." Jiang Ji reported with excitement.
"good."
Qin Hao also showed a look of surprise. He had expected Xuanyuan to defeat Lulong, but it only took less than a day, which was beyond his expectation. This means that the capture of Lulong was smooth and smooth. ah.
It only took one day to break through, so Xuanyuan would have plenty of time to set up defenses, and Lulongsai's defense would be stronger than expected. Even if the Qing army's plan to attack from both sides was realized, it would not be easy to break through Lulongsai. Easy thing.
"Lulong Sei has been broken, the Manchu and Qing food routes have been cut off, and they have completely fallen into passivity. The next step is for our army to counterattack."
Qin Hao's eyes were full of excitement and he ordered: "Send the order and order Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, and Wei Qing to attack immediately according to the original plan."
"promise."
Bai Qi, Huo Qubing and other five troops had been ready for a long time, waiting for Qin Hao's order to attack. Now, with the king's order, it was naturally as powerful as thunder and shocking.
Among the five armies prepared by the Qin army, Bai Huosu's three troops were stationed at the front, while Xue and Wei's two troops were hidden in the rear. The Manchus were also on guard against Bai Huosu's three armies, and they did not even know about Xue and Wei's troops. existence of the department.
Therefore, after Qin Hao's royal order was issued, Bai Huosu's three troops marched at the same time, but they did not launch an attack, but pretended to attack by force.
Bai Qi's 70,000 troops, Su Dingfang's 70,000 troops, and Huo Qubing's 40,000 troops totaled a total of 180,000 troops, which already exceeded the total strength of the remaining Qing troops. This movement naturally frightened the Qing military generals everywhere. A jump.
Even Nurhaci thought that the location of Bai Suhuo's three troops was the main attack direction of the Qin army. After all, Qin Hao's central army had no intention of moving, but he never expected that another two groups would appear. army.
Xue Rengui and Wei Qing's troops took advantage of the attention of the Manchu and Qing armies to focus on Bai Qi's three armies on the front line. So these two strange troops found another way and suddenly rushed out from both wings, catching the unprepared Qing army by surprise.
In just one day, Xue Rengui's troops defeated three villages in a row, killing two thousand enemies and capturing two thousand prisoners, and moved the battle line ten miles eastward.
Although the achievements of Wei Qing's troops were not as good as Xue Rengui's, they were not inferior by much. In two villages in one day, they killed 1,500 enemies and captured 1,000 prisoners.
Among them, the young general Xue Dingshan's performance was the most eye-catching. Not only was he the first to rush into Dazhai, but he also killed six Manchu captains and three generals in a row, making Wei Qing's unit the most credited.
Xue Rengui and Wei Qing's two hundred thousand troops suddenly joined the battlefield, catching the Manchu and Qing Dynasties off guard. The Manchu Qing's previous arrangements were to defend Bai Qi, Su Dingfang and Huo Qubing. The 170,000 troops could barely defend 240,000. Enough.
But now the Qin army has an extra 100,000 troops, and its total strength has reached 340,000, which is twice as many as the Qing army. Naturally, the previous arrangement is inappropriate.
Xue Rengui and Wei Qing's troops seized the opportunity and destroyed the five strongholds first, while Bai Qi, Su Ding and Fang Huo Qubing struck later. Taking advantage of the turmoil in the Qing army's morale, they launched an iron fist attack and launched a fierce offensive.
Bai Qi and Su Dingfang both had 70,000 troops under their command. The military formation formed by the 70,000 troops was so vast that black clouds pressed down on the city, no, on the stronghold, making it seem impossible for anyone to resist and punish them. Heart, and the offensive is even more overwhelming.
When the Qin army fired a round of bows and arrows, it was like a shower of arrows, and when a round of flying rocks hit them, it was like meteorites that washed the ground, leaving no livestock behind.
Bai Qi and Su Dingfang didn't need to use any strategy at all. Even if it was an upright attack, the Manchu Qing's Muzhai couldn't resist it even if they relied on the geographical advantage.
In less than two hours, two more strongholds were breached. The defenders had no choice but to retreat to another stronghold in the rear to defend. However, Bai Su would send light cavalry to pursue them, so those who could really escape were able to escape. Just a few.
The situation on Huo Qubing's side was completely different from that of the other armies. He did not have as many troops as Bai Su, Xue Wei and the other four armies, but the advantage was that they were all cavalry, so he had no intention of attacking the stronghold from the beginning.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army's stronghold was attacked by their own side and had no energy to block the passage, Huo Qubing led 40,000 cavalry and drove straight in. It penetrated into the heart of the Qing Dynasty like a sharp sword, and stuck in the throat of the Qing Dynasty like a thorn.
Under the joint attack of 280,000 Qin troops, the fifty-five strongholds established by Nurhaci were as fragile as paper. In just one day, seven strongholds were defeated in a row from the north. If this trend continues, , it is only a matter of time before all fifty-five villages are destroyed.
"How come the Qin army has an extra 100,000 troops? Then where did Qin Hao get the 100,000 troops?"
Nurhachi's face was full of anger, and he roared uneasily and incomprehensively.
The 240,000 Qin army was already too much for him to resist, and now there were an additional 100,000. The Qin army in Youbeiping became 340,000, which was twice as many as the Qin army at that time.
How can we fight this battle?
