Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1631 The Battle of Qingzhou Begins

Chapter 1629: The Battle of Qingzhou Begins

The camp of the United Army of the Northern Han Dynasty.

"Report... to report to the right minister that the reinforcements from the Qin army, with a total of [-] cavalry, have entered Beihai City."

"what?"

Now it's not just Wang Mang, almost all the generals present subconsciously exclaimed.

In the previous battle, because of the riots of the Liao army, although the coalition army failed to catch up with the main force of the Qin army, it also wiped out the Qin army's Huben camp and beheaded Qin general Ran Min, which greatly boosted the morale of the Northern Han coalition army. .

The Qin army lost the Huben camp, and the total number of cavalry also dropped to less than [-]. It can be said that it has lost the capital to fight out of the city and can only defend the isolated city.

But with the assistance of these [-] cavalry, the Qin army is again qualified to go out of the city to fight, and the previous efforts of the coalition army are almost in vain.

"How could it come so fast?"

Wang Mang frowned, and asked, "Didn't Han Xin's iron locks and hidden stakes work?"

"Qin general Zhou Yu used the fire boat to break the iron lock and seal the river."

"What about the hidden pile? Could it be discovered too?" Zhu Tianpeng asked hastily.

Among the combined army of the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhu Tianpeng was undoubtedly the best at water warfare. He knew that unguarded iron locks were easy to crack, but hidden stakes were not so easy to crack, so he also wanted to know Zhou Yu's identity. How did it go.

"But even if they are discovered, it's impossible to pull out those hidden stakes so quickly." Zhu Tianpeng said to himself with a puzzled face.

"Uh, this, the Qin army didn't clean up the hidden pile at all. Zhou Yu seemed to have predicted the location of the hidden pile, and led him directly through the waters of the hidden pile."

"what?"

Zhu Tianpeng and the others all exclaimed in unison.

The difficulty of Zhou Yu's operation is much more difficult than cleaning up hidden piles. If one is not careful, the ship may be destroyed and the army will be killed. Even a veteran of the southern water battle may not be able to do it, but Zhou Yu, who is new to the water The young general who had not been in the army for a long time broke through smoothly.

"The Qin army is unparalleled in cavalry, and the infantry is also one of the best. Now there is a talented navy commander like Zhou Yu. Now the Qin army hardly has any shortcomings."

At this thought, Zhu Tianpeng couldn't help but flashed a murderous intent in his eyes, and secretly said: "This Zhou Yu must be my king's lifelong enemy."

For Yuan Shao and Liu Che, once they lost against Qin Hao, they would have no chance.

But for Zhu Tianpeng, even if he lost the Battle of Hebei, although the impact on him was great, it would not be to the extent of destroying the country.

The Qin army's goal this time is Hebei, and once it is captured, it will be followed by the Central Plains, so then is the time to decide Zhu Tianpeng's survival.

The best way for Qi to fight against the Qin army is undoubtedly to block the Qin army to the north of the Yellow River and prevent the Qin army from crossing the Yellow River. Naturally, there will be no danger at all.

In the past, Zhu Tianpeng was very confident about this. After all, the Qin army was not good at water warfare, and he thought that he could not find an opponent in the north in terms of water warfare capabilities.

But now that he had a preliminary understanding of Zhou Yu's methods, Zhu Tianpeng found that although Qin Jun's sailors were immature, the sailors were not weak at all, so he already regarded Zhou Yu as an enemy in his heart.

Naturally, Wang Mang knew Zhou Yu, the governor of Chibi, had the water combat ability, but he didn't think as much as Zhu Tianpeng.

Wang Mang was already tied to the princes of the Northern Han Dynasty. Once the Northern Han Dynasty lost, there would be no eggs under the nest, and he would also face eternal doom.

Therefore, for Wang Mang, the most important thing is to prevent Qin Hao from dominating Hebei, so naturally he can't care about anything else.

Just when Wang Mang felt troubled by the Qin army's waterborne cavalry coming to support Beihai, another shocking news came.

"Report... to the right minister, Li Jing personally led an army of [-], and has left Beihai City and is coming to our army camp."

Before crossing the Yellow River four times, the Qin army had a total of [-] troops.

Flooded the Qi army, although [-] elites of the Qi state were buried, but the Qin army also sacrificed [-] sailors;

In the battle with Wang Mang, the Qin army withdrew without a fight, and finally lost Ran Min and other generals, as well as the three thousand Huben battalion.

The defense of Beihai damaged Fusu, and more than [-] of the [-] defenders died in battle.

So far, the total strength of the Beihai Qin Army has dropped to [-].

It can also be seen from this that although Li Jing fought continuously in Beihai, and each battle was extremely fierce, and even many generals died in battle, the casualties of soldiers were not small.

Now another [-] cavalry came to help, and the total strength of the Qin army was restored to [-] again. Therefore, Li Jing left [-] Liangshan soldiers to defend the city, and personally led [-] of the main force of the Qin army out of the city to fight Wang Mang.

"what?"

When Wang Mang heard this, he stood up straight away, and said with a look of disbelief: "What exactly does he want to do, Li Jing? Is there a decisive battle? Or is there another conspiracy?"

In the eyes of normal people, the Qin army managed to escape the catastrophe, and general Ran Min's morale plummeted after he died in battle. He must have stopped for a while before he could take any action.

But Li Jing is not.

As soon as the [-] cavalry arrived, Li Jing immediately led [-] troops out of the city besides leaving nearly [-] defenders to guard Beihai.

"It's just a [-]-strong army. In a decisive battle, with the strength of our army, we are not afraid of the Qin army at all."

Zhou Yafu stood up and said in a deep voice, "Since Li Jing wants to fight, we are afraid that he will not succeed."

"right……"

"Yes……"

Most people agreed to go to war, but Wang Mang always felt that it was not easy, but seeing that Chen Qingzhi also agreed to go to war, he didn't say anything more.

On the other side, the generals of the Qin army were also surprised that Li Jing sent troops again so soon.

For the Qin army who had just lost a small battle, as long as they defended Beihai City, it was already a great achievement, but Li Jing wanted to fight Wang Mang in a decisive battle, which also made the generals a little confused.

Different from other generals, Huang Feihu and other generals who came to support all supported Li Jing's move. After all, they ran all the way here not just to defend the city. Li Jing's initiative to attack was exactly in their appetite.

"Master Taishou, our army was defeated for the first time, and the reinforcements just arrived, so we went out of the city for a decisive battle. Isn't that a bit too hasty?" Jin Tai asked puzzled.

Li Jing smiled coldly, and replied: "Our army hastily fought a decisive battle, so why didn't the enemy army rush to fight? What's more, compared to our army's haste, the enemy army has a more fatal weakness."

Hearing what Li Jing said, all the generals cheered up, Huang Feihu asked, "What's the weakness?"

"The 7 Northern Han coalition army has now dropped to 2, and among the [-], there are at least [-] Zhao recruits left.

After Gongsun Shu died in battle, Wang Mang couldn't wait to annex more than [-] Liao troops. It can be seen that the more than [-] Liao troops must be in turmoil at this time, and how much combat power can they exert?

Therefore, although the enemy army has more people than our army, it has at least [-] troops and its combat power is weak. "

Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he said to himself: "If Wang Mang dares to fight decisively, our army will surely win."

"But there's no need to send out only [-] troops, right? Our army still has nearly [-] troops. We can send [-] troops and leave [-] to defend Beihai." Huang Feihu puzzled.

But Li Jing said: "If fifty thousand were dispatched, Wang Mang might not dare to fight decisively."

Regarding Wang Mang's thoughts, Li Jing didn't say he had a thorough understanding, but he also understood a lot. Wang Mang naturally knew the situation of the coalition army, so sending too many troops would only make him retreat, but [-] would not be too many. Less is just right.
