Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1274 Out of the fortress
Chapter 1272: Out of the Fortress
As Wo Kuotai led the [-] remnant troops back to the Ningxia Army, Murong Ke's plan to severely damage the [-] Jin army on the eastern front ended in failure.

The 7 yuan of Mongolian cavalry at the time of the expedition was less than [-] when they returned, and a full [-] cavalry were killed or injured. In addition, three generals, Murong Jun, Meng Libai, and Meng Liyuan, were lost, but only Han Army [-] infantry plus [-] Han cavalry.

In general, Yuan Meng's battle can be said to be a big loss.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

Wo Kuotai's trip was extremely unsatisfactory, and the same was true for Murong Ke's side.

Murong Ke made sufficient preparations before the battle. Regardless of whether the Han army sent reinforcements or not, he had a plan to deal with it. However, after [-] Han rode eastward, he found that he still thought too simply.

Bai Qi, Wang Meng, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Xi Zhicai, the five of them cooperated seamlessly. Zhuge Liang saw through Murong Ke's plan from the very beginning, while Bai Qi and Wang Meng paralyzed and confused Murong Ke.

If it weren't for Murong Ke who was also extremely cautious, he might have already been tricked by the Han army and suffered heavy casualties.

The plan got stuck at the very beginning, which also made Murong Ke realize that he was no better than the other party in terms of strategy, and since he couldn't be soft, he could only be tough.

Murong Ke dispatched a full 20 troops this time. In just a few days, all ten cities in Ningxia were reduced to battlefields, and more than [-] battles broke out between the two sides.

Among them, even fifteen times, Murong Ke personally led the army, facing Bai Qi and Wang Meng respectively.

Facing Wang Meng, Murong Ke only felt that he was facing a seamless egg, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any flaws.

Facing Bai Qi, Murong Ke was hanged and beaten all the way, and his tactics, battles, and command all fell behind, and he was also convinced that he lost.

There were more than 20 battles in a few days, and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured on both sides, but you must know that Yuan Meng's death was cavalry, while most of the Han army's deaths were infantry, so naturally Yuan Meng suffered the most casualties.

After the failure of the two battle plans, Murong Ke took back his troops to the five cities of Ningxia. He did not dare to test the Han army easily, but prepared to wait for Murong Chui to take Yinshan City, and wait for the army of Yinshan to go south, and concentrate all The troops directly pushed the Han army horizontally.

Murong Ke retracted the army back into the city, which also facilitated the opportunity for Qin Hao to implement the next plan.

As soon as the battle in Ningxia was over, Qin Hao prepared to bring Qin Liangyu back to Ningxia. He handed over command of the Eastern Front to Meng Tian in this way, but Qin Liangyu was unwilling to leave like this.

Through the previous battles, Qin Liangyu also realized that she was lacking in ability. If she continued to stay, it was inevitable that Yuan Meng would continue to target her.

But if she just left like this, Qin Liangyu felt unwilling. She still wanted to make amends, so she took the initiative to give up the position of general to Meng Tian, ​​and personally stayed to assist Meng Tian in controlling the army.

Seeing this, Qin Hao nodded and agreed. After all, with the assistance of Qin Liangyu, the former general, Meng Tian was able to control the entire army in the shortest possible time.

Qin Hao asked Huo Qubing, Zhao Yun and the cavalry to stay, while he himself took Jiang Song and Gao Chong back to Ningxia City, and a military and political meeting was held shortly thereafter.

There is only one theme for this meeting, and that is to counterattack the grasslands, that is: going out of the fortress.

"Although our army has a large number of troops, most of them are infantry, and only cavalry can be used to counterattack the grassland."

Qin Hao put down the report in his hand, looked at the counselors below, and asked, "Tell me, how many cavalry should be dispatched to counterattack the grassland this time and force Temujin to send troops back to help?"

Bai Qi stood up and said: "My lord, the combined cavalry of the Qin-Jin coalition army is only 12 cavalry, and if there are too many cavalry, it is likely to cause the entire battle in Hetao to collapse, so the general thinks it is not appropriate to exceed forty thousand."

"Bai Dadu's words are wrong."

Xi Zhicai stood up and retorted: "Once our army counterattacks the grassland, it will definitely attract some of Yuanmeng's main forces to come back, and Yuanmeng's troops in Hetao will naturally be reduced."

"Yeah, Yuanmeng has implemented the implementation of all people as soldiers, and is still recruiting a large number of recruits. Now it can be said that there is no shortage of troops in the country, and if our army only dispatches [-] cavalry, it may be difficult to make Yuanmeng feel threatened. If Temujin doesn't send troops back, then the subsequent plan will not be implemented." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice.

Qin Hao also nodded when he heard the words.

Counterattacking the grassland is only the first step of the plan. When the expeditionary army that enters the grassland causes a certain degree of damage to Yuanmeng and forces Temujin to transfer the army back, the Han army will implement the second step of the plan. : Send troops to support Yinshan City.

Only after the successful implementation of the two-step plan can the Han army's Jedi counterattack be successful, so this first step is the most important, and no mistakes are absolutely allowed.

After discussing with the advisers for most of the day, Qin Hao finally decided to dispatch [-] cavalry, which was already the limit that could be dispatched, and any more would really be impossible, after all, the subsequent plan also required cavalry to contribute.

As for the candidate to lead this time, Qin Hao once again chose Huo Qubing.

Bai Qi has another important task, and Huo Qubing's cavalry combat ability is one of the best in the Qin and Jin armies, and has been recognized in the previous battles, so this time the leader must be Huo Qubing.

As for the candidates for the deputy general, Qin Hao chose Long Qie and Ran Min.Other generals accompanying the army include: Yuwen Chengdu, Luo Cheng, Luo Yi, Huang Zhong...

It is worth mentioning that after Xiang Yu learned that Long Qie would participate in this expedition, he even took the initiative to ask Qin Hao to also participate in this expedition plan.

Although Qin Hao didn't understand why Xiang Yu wasn't afraid of his identity being exposed, he naturally wouldn't refuse the request, so he assigned Xiang Yu to Huo Qubing's guard team and asked Xiang Yu to go out with the army.

There are already [-] cavalry on the eastern front, so this time the cavalry who gathered secretly in Ningxia and dispatched the eastern front to join them only had [-] cavalry.

When the two armies converged, Huo Qubing would lead [-] cavalry to go through the Yanmen Pass and enter the grassland. Then he would split into two groups and head towards Dragon City. .

In the middle of the night, [-] riders assembled at the east gate of Ningxia City, led by two generals: Long Qie and Ran Min.

After the army was assembled, Ran Min and Long Qie glanced at each other, and Ran Min raised his weapon and shouted: "Let's go."

Thirty-four thousand riders headed east, and they were about to embark on a glorious journey out of the fortress.

On the city wall, Qin Hao watched the army going out of the fortress gradually go away, and he couldn't help chanting: "In the Qin Dynasty, the moon is bright and the Han Dynasty is at the pass, and the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned. But let the flying generals of Dragon City stay, and don't teach Huma to go to the Yinshan Mountains .”
