Chapter 1239 The battle of betting on the national fortune

Chapter 1237: A Battle of Betting on the National Fortune

Temujin was full of confidence in taking down the three Hetao counties. After all, he had defeated Zhenbeiguan, which was even more difficult to fight.

Temujin appointed Yang Silang as the vanguard to attack Yinshan County. First, he wanted to see a good show of brothers killing each other; second, he wanted to hit the morale of the Jin army;

But in the end, even though Temujin saw the scene of brothers killing each other, he couldn't laugh at all.

Among the ten counties in Yinshan, except for two counties that voluntarily surrendered, the remaining seven counties were forcibly captured, and the strength of resistance became stronger and stronger. In the end, Yuanmeng also encountered a big nail under the Yinshan city.

All the people in the cities of Hetao were soldiers, and men, women and children participated in the defense of the city together. This also caused the Yuan and Mongolian army to kill thousands of elite soldiers every time they captured a city.

If Yuanmeng followed this trend and attacked one city after another, even if he could finally win the three counties of Hetao, he might have to pay a loss of 20 million troops, which was already more than worth the loss for Temujin.

Naturally, Temujin would not be intimidated by the Jin army’s strategy of all the people as soldiers. In order to frighten the Han people in the city, so as to reduce the resistance of the Han people and surrender the city without a fight, Temujin ordered the massacre of the city Deter the Han people.

Temujin's order was deeply rooted in the hearts of the entire army, and this also caused the Yuan and Mongolian army to slaughter three cities and kill nearly [-] innocent people when they attacked Yinshan County.

In the face of the massacre by the alien army, the people of Yinshan were weeping and howling, but what Temujin didn't expect was that the deterrence of iron and blood did not make the Han people terrified, but aroused the people of Hetao to resist even stronger.

All the people in Hetao hated Yuanmeng very much, and a large number of young and strong joined the Qin army's militia on their own initiative.

When did sheep-like Han Chinese become so courageous?
Temujin is also puzzled by this, but in the end it can only be attributed to the fact that the Jin army has repeatedly won battles against foreign races over the years, which has caused the national self-confidence of the Han people to soar, so these low-level people He was not afraid of Yuan Meng.

Driven by hatred, the people in Hetao became very enthusiastic about joining the army, and the militia team of the Jin army continued to grow, and finally when it reached 20 people, Qin Wenwen and Wang Meng stopped it.

There are still many people who want to join the army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, but the Jin army can no longer afford it. After all, the militiamen are also soldiers. Once they die in battle, they also need to pay pensions.Although the militia's pension is much less than that of the regular army, it is still a huge burden for the Jin army, and 20 militiamen are completely enough, so the Jin army's militia will only be maintained at 20 degrees.

With the cooperation of the Jin army's regular army, militia, and civilians, Yuan Meng only captured [-] ordinary counties, and even lost [-] elite troops before even capturing a single county.

Although the casualties of the Jin army were greater, the militiamen alone had sacrificed 12 years, but the militiamen had everything that the Jin army needed, and they were quickly recruited again and recovered.

The Jin army relied on the militia to consume the elites of Yuanmeng, but the elites of the Jin army preserved their vitality.

Under the ebb and flow, even if Yuan Meng had 40 cavalry, fewer and fewer cavalry would be consumed, and eventually the Jin army overtook and lost the battle.

After realizing this, Temujin ordered to stop the massacre after slaughtering three cities. The resistance of the Han people was too great. Although stopping the massacre at this time would not resolve the hatred, at least it would not continue to increase the hatred.

In this way, in the first wave of confrontation with the Jin army, although Yuan Meng took away the land of thirteen cities, he lost [-] elite troops.

However, with the arrival of 15 Qin troops in Yinchuan, the number of Han troops did not decrease but increased, and now it has reached an astonishing 58, which also made Temujin feel great pressure.

Ever since he lost to Qin Hao at Yanmen Pass, Temujin had never lost a single battle. However, the huge pressure now not only did not frustrate Temujin, but excited him instead.

We must win this battle to wash away the shame of losing to Qin Hao.Tie Muzhen secretly swears.

The total number of Qin-Jin coalition forces is as high as 58. Although 20 of them are militias and only 38 regular troops, their strength still exceeds that of Yuanmeng.

Even Temujin had to admit that although Ka Yuanmeng was on the offensive on the surface, the Qin-Jin coalition forces could only be beaten passively, but in fact Yuanmeng was struggling in Hetao.

The 58 Qin-Jin coalition forces defended Hetao like an iron wall. Even ordinary county towns are hard to fight, let alone heavily guarded county towns.

Continuing to attack the city will only consume his own troops, and if he does not attack the city, it will waste food and grass in vain. Yuan Meng has fallen into a dilemma.

Who is Temujin? He is Genghis Khan. With 34 elite cavalry in hand, how can he be stumped by such a small problem?
The main problem Yuan Meng is facing now is the lack of troops. As long as they can continue to increase their troops to occupy the superior force, they may not be able to crush the Qin-Jin coalition forces.

However, there are only 20 troops left in Yuanmeng's country, and they still need to guard against Nurhachi in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the east. If they continue to recruit troops, the rear may become unstable.

After weighing the pros and cons, Temujin finally decided to continue mobilizing troops from the country. After all, both Qin Wen and Qin Hao had mobilized all the forces under their command. If he didn't go all out, how could he stop the Qin-Jin coalition from taking over Come down with all your strength to counterattack?

Temujin lacked neither boldness nor courage, so he was going to have a fight with Qin Hao: a battle that bets on the fate of the country, and it will be done in one battle.

If you win, you will naturally get everything from the opponent, step on the enemy's corpse, sweep the Central Plains and be invincible in the world;

If it is defeated, Yuanmeng's national foundation will be shaken, and the country may even be destroyed.

"The order will go on, and 20 veterans will be recruited from the country to go south, and another [-] new troops will be recruited."

As soon as Temujin's words came out, Yuanmeng's high-ranking officials were shocked, Tuo Lei was the first to stand up, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you must not, if you are transferring troops, the strength of the domestic troops will drop to ten." Well, if the Manchus are calling, how can we Dayuan resist? With the 20 veterans and [-] new troops, we can't stop the Manchus."

A flash of determination flashed in Temujin's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "The Battle of Hetao was a battle in which both the enemy and us gambled on the fate of the country. Now that Qin and Jin have collapsed, I, Yuan Meng, will naturally have to die in order to win this battle." The possibility of a war.

Now I order that before the end of the Battle of Hetao, all the people of our Great Yuan Kingdom will also be all soldiers and go to the national crisis together. "

Tuo Lei opened his mouth when he heard the words, but in the end he was speechless. He knew that what Temujin said was right, that was to gamble the fortune of the country on World War I, which is really too hasty for a country .
