Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2685: Xue Rengui VS Zhao Kuangyin ([-]), Qin Song vs. Ge Ling

Runan County, Xiping County, is located in the northwest of Runan, at the border with Yingchuan County.

After Jin Bi led his army to rescue Xue Ju, he withdrew to Xiping with him, where he rested.

"Damn it, Luo Hongxin was almost wiped out, but Huang Tianxiang was killed halfway."

Zhu Hai had a look of unwillingness, after all, in the battle of Baiting, Wei Song's side had too much advantage.

The Wei and Song allied forces have a total of [-] troops. Against Luo Hongxin's [-] Qin army, three times the enemy's strength, and it is still a two-sided battle. The lineup of generals is also completely overwhelming the Qin army. Annihilating.

You know, the Wei-Song coalition forces not only have the two gods of war Xue Ju and Zhu Hai, but also the two peak gods of Xue Rengao and Jin Bi. After the combination skills of Xue Rengao and his father Xue Ju are activated, they can also stand up to a god of war.

That is to say, the Wei-Song coalition army not only has three times the strength of the Qin army, but also crushes the Qin army with only one god of war in the lineup of generals. It stands to reason that it should wipe out five thousand Qin troops like a ruined one.

But what no one in the Wei and Song armies expected was that Luo Hongxin, a rookie on the battlefield, would be so tenacious that he fought [-] Wei and Song allied forces with [-] soldiers for two hours, and managed to hold on to Huang Tianxiang's [-] troops. Reinforcements arrive on the battlefield.

Luo Hongxin was able to do this, in addition to his own credit, it was mainly due to the increase in the combo skill 'Bright Eyes and Ears' and the effect of Chen Qi and Zheng Lun's combo skill 'Hum Ha Menshen' sealing skills.

The effect 2 of 'clear eyes and ears' increased Luo Hongxin's commander by 3 points, so that Luo Hongxin, who had a commander attribute of 88 points, skyrocketed to 91 points, barely reaching the level that could cope with such a bad situation.

Effect 3 of 'clear eyes and ears' increased Luo Hongxin's force by a full 5 points, allowing Luo Hongxin, who has a basic weapon of 106, to remain undefeated in the face of Xue Ju and Xue Rengao, the two gods of war.

The skill seal effect of the effect 2 of 'Hum Ha Gate God', and very lucky to seal Xue Rengao's weapon skill, greatly weakened Xue Rengao's combat power, and Chen Qi and Zheng Lun held Zhu Hai back, this gave Luo Rengao Hongxin created and killed Xue Rengao.

At the same time, the effect of 'clear eyes and ears' was increased by 3 points of force, allowing Luo Hongxin to barely parry Xue Ju, whose base force was raised to 5 in grief and anger due to the death of his son Xue Rengao, and his combat power skyrocketed even more.

It is precisely because of the assistance of Chen Qi, Zheng Lun, and Gao Ming Gaojue, and the cooperation of the five generals, that Luo Hongxin was able to persist until Huang Tianxiang arrived, turning the doomed battle into a turning point. If any one of the five was missing, it would be a disaster. Annihilation of the whole army.

There is a price to be paid for being weak against the strong.

Cao Cao used the weak Wei to resist the strong Qin, and the price he paid was the fall of the two lines of defense in a short period of time, and the death of many generals such as Jiang Huanchu, Yu Da, Xue Rengao, and Cao Shuang.

Naturally, Luo Hongxin also paid a heavy price, that is the death of the two generals Gao Ming and Gao Jue.

Since the beginning of the war between Qin and Wei, the Qin army has never killed two generals in battle, so in the Qin army's view, even if the casualties in the battle of Baiting were much lower than that of the Wei and Song allied forces, it was not a victory at all, it could only be regarded as a loss for both sides.

But in the eyes of the Wei and Song allied forces, under the circumstances of absolute superiority, not only failed to wipe out the Qin army and Luo Hongxin, but also defeated Xue Rengao and nearly half of the troops. It was obviously a defeat.

Since the war between Qin and Wei, the state of Wei has been losing battles all the time, and now it is hard to come across a battle that can be won, but it turned into a defeat in the end, which naturally made it difficult for the generals of Wei and Song to accept.

"The battle has already been fought, and the Qin army has also retreated to Yingchuan. It is meaningless to talk about these things."

Wei Wuji sighed softly, he didn't expect Qin Jun to be so tenacious.

If this trend continues, I am afraid that the three kingdoms of the Central Plains will be beaten to the ground by Qin before Chu can completely annex Wu.

No, before Chu State annexes Wu State, Wei State must not fall.Wei Wuji thought to himself.

As long as Wei, no, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, can persist until Chu completely annexes Wu, the liberated Wu army will be able to go north to support, and the pressure on Wei, Song and Ming will naturally be much smaller.

But it is obviously not easy to do this.

Although the gap in military strength between Wu and Chu is larger than that of Qin and Wei, the Wu army under the leadership of Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Wu Zixu, and Sun Ce is also really tenacious. The two sides fight back and forth, not completely one-sided like Qin and Wei trend.

"How is General Xue Ju?" Wei Wuji asked.

Mao Sui shook his head and sighed softly: "Major General Xue died in battle, General Xue Ju was hit..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Ju walked into the big tent with a blank expression on his face.

"General."

When Xue Ju came, everyone quickly bowed their heads in salute.

Seeing this, Xue Ju just nodded lightly, as if he was not very sad, but his whole body was extremely gloomy, and the temperature dropped several degrees immediately when he walked in.

Seeing this, Wei Wuji originally wanted to act as a comforter, but after thinking about it, he still didn't know how to speak.

After all, it was his only son who died. How could he open his mouth as an outsider about the tragedy of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man to him?
Xue Ju didn't care about everyone's thoughts, and after leaving an order to "leave the camp and retreat to Xuchang after a day's rest", he left without looking back.

Wei Wuji, Mao Sui, Zhu Hai and the others looked at each other, knowing that Xue Ju was just holding on.

Wei Wuji was still secretly pleased. His only son died. Xue Ju and Da Qin had formed a deadly feud. It was impossible to surrender to Da Qin. If Cao Wei were to perish in the future, he might be able to persuade him to join Chu.

Regarding Xue Ju's departure, Jin Bi naturally would not stop him, nor did he have the intention to stop it.

He would send troops to rescue Xue Ju, it was entirely his own decision, and he did not ask the lord Zhao Kuangyin for instructions.

Just before Xue Ju broke through the encirclement, Jin Bi, who was the general guard of Xiping in the Song Dynasty, received a letter of appeal for help from Cao Wei's military commander Cao GUI.

Although Cao GUI didn't know which direction Xue Ju would break out from, and whether Han Xin would stay behind, he knew that once Han Xin left behind, Xue Ju would be dangerous no matter where he broke through.

But at this time, Cao Wei had no troops to transfer in Yingchuan, and the only force that could draw on his strength was his ally Song Guo. Wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?
So Cao GUI wrote a letter of appeal to Jin Bi, hoping that Jin Bi could send troops to meet Xue Ju, so as to fulfill the responsibility of an ally.

Jin Bi actually didn't want to talk to Cao GUI. After all, his duty was to guard Xiping. He sent troops to rescue Xue Ju without asking for instructions. Not to mention that Zhu Hai's deadly enemy is still in the Wei army.

Although Jin Bi didn't want to send troops to rescue Xue Ju, he couldn't stand the persuasion of his disciples Mei Sanniang and Dian Qing, so he finally let go of his prejudice against Zhu Hai and personally led the army to rescue Xue Ju. In the end, not only did he not win the Qin army, but he even lost his foot. There are four thousand troops.

Jin Bi is worrying about this matter, worried that he will be impeached by civil officials in the country.

For this reason, Jin Bi was indeed impeached by the civil official group of the Song Dynasty for many crimes such as "dispatching troops without asking for instructions, losing troops and destroying generals".

However, it is simply that Zhao Kuangyin, the king of the Song Dynasty, not only did not punish Jin Bi for this, but also sent [-] more troops to Jin Bi.

Runan, Pingyu.

Standing at the top of the city, Zhao Kuangyin looked towards the direction of Shangcai in the west, his eyes full of solemnity.

Although Daqin dispatched 15 troops to attack the Song Dynasty, but because the defense line of Tongbai Mountain in the Song Dynasty had not yet been captured, the troops that entered Runan were only [-] cavalry led by Xue Rengui who went deep alone and supported them by fighting. Ten thousand troops were blocked by Song Jiang Shi Bao's ten thousand outside Tongbai Mountain.

After Xue Rengui led the iron cavalry to invade Runan, he made a mess in the west of Runan, forcing Zhao Kuangyin to encircle and suppress it with all his troops.

Zhao Kuangyin thought it would be easy for him to lead an army of 23 to take down Xue Rengui's [-] cavalry, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson by Xue Rengui.

During this period, Zhao Kuangyin has fought against Xue Rengui many times, but Xue Rengui is like a loach, always able to jump out of the encirclement before the Song army is completely encircled. field battle.

Zhao Kuangyin was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. In plain field battles with cavalry, Zhao Kuangyin had to be cautious even if the enemy had five times as many troops, so he adopted Yan Xiang's strategy, changing from encirclement to division of troops.

Zhao Kuangyin sent Lu Wenlong to lead an army of [-] troops to assist Tongbai Mountain, and Xue Rengui was really fooled. After all, if the Song army arrived at Tongbai Mountain, the time for the Qin army to take Tongbai Mountain would be delayed, and the Qin army in Runan would also have one more time. Dangerous.

Xue Rengui had to divide his troops to fight, and after the division, the overall combat effectiveness further declined.

Under the squeeze and persecution of the Song army, Xue Rengui had to temporarily avoid the edge and gave up many cities. In the end, he met the main force of the [-] Song army in Geling.

In this battle, Xue Rengui used [-] large Qin cavalry to fight head-on with Zhao Kuangyin's [-] Song Army, including [-] Song Army cavalry.

After the two armies fought fiercely for two hours, the Qin army, which was at a disadvantage in strength, gradually gained the upper hand. When it was about to overwhelm the Song army, Zhao She led an army of [-] to the battlefield.

The 15 Qin army faced the [-] Song army. The difference in strength was too huge, but even so, the Qin army fought fiercely with it for two days and two nights.

Just when the Qin army was exhausted and the Song army thought it would win, Qin general Wenpin led five thousand cavalry, suddenly appeared behind the Song army, and launched an assault on the Song army's middle army.

It turned out that although Xue Rengui had to divide his troops, he adopted Lin Xiangru's strategy and asked Yang Zaixing to lead an army of [-] to block Lu Wenlong by pretending to be [-]. Thirty thousand iron cavalry fought against Zhao Kuangyin.

Xue Rengui's move is naturally extremely risky. After all, in a battle of nearly 20 people, [-] cavalry can only play a limited role.

If the 15 cavalry led by Xue Rengui could not stop Zhao Kuangyin's [-] cavalry, not only would the [-] cavalry be wiped out, but the remaining [-] cavalry would also be unable to escape.

However, under the command of Xue Rengui and the assistance of Lin Xiangru, after all, [-] cavalry were used to block the infantry of the Fifteen Song Army.

Zhao Kuangyin was caught off guard by Yang Zaixing, and Xue Rengui also took the opportunity to launch a general attack. The Song army was defeated and retreated one after another, forcing Zhao Kuangyin to retreat for more than [-] miles to temporarily avoid the edge.

In this battle, Xue Rengui repelled Zhao Kuangyin's 15 Song army head-on with [-] Qin troops, beheaded [-], and self-damaged [-].

After Xue Rengui won, he only retreated after chasing for twenty miles. After all, although the Song army was defeated, the main force was not damaged, and they still had the strength to fight again.

Xue Rengui won the battle, but ordered to retreat. He voluntarily gave up Pingyu and other five cities, and retreated to Shangcai for rest.

Although Zhao Kuangyin regained Runanzhi's Pingyu, he didn't have the slightest joy, because during the decisive battle between him and Xue Rengui in Geling, the spinning line of Tongbai Mountain was broken by Qin general Tian Dan, and the defender Shi Bao was captured.

Now Zhao Kuangyin finally understood why Xue Rengui knew the risk of dividing the troops, but still took the risk to fight himself, just to attract his attention and buy time for the rear to attack Tongbai Mountain.

The Tongbai Mountain Spinning Line fell, and one hundred thousand Qin troops entered Runan. The strength of the Qin army in Runan rose instead of falling, and it completely gained a firm foothold in Runan. Now it will be difficult for the Song army to expel the Qin army.
