Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2727: The level of the Qin army's combat power, cheating Yang Xiong to save Yang Ren

In order to rescue Yang Ren in Huangyuan City, Meng Tian decided to take the risk of carrying out the strategy of suspicious soldiers, and this naturally has a lot of risks.

Once Yang Xingmi or Yang Xiong saw through it, the [-] Qin army led by Meng Tian would face the [-] Sui army head-on.

If the Qin army were all elites, Meng Tian would naturally not be afraid. After all, the elites of the Qin army are recognized as one of the ten.

But the problem is that the [-] troops under Meng Tian's command, including the [-] troops on the South Road, are only part of the regular main force, not the elites killed by the mountains of swords and blood. Sui army.

Today, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Qin Army can be roughly divided into five levels, namely: garrison, regular recruits, regular veterans, regular main force, and main force elite.

The weakest are of course the left-behind guards, which actually include county soldiers, county soldiers, arresters, reserve soldiers, veterans, etc. Before training, they can only be used for security and city defense, and cannot go to the battlefield for field battles.

The next four ranks actually belong to the regular army, but the regular army is also divided into three, six, and nine ranks. After all, Daqin’s regular army is 150 million, and it is normal for soldiers to have different levels of quality.

Among the 150 million Great Qin regular army, the weakest combat power is naturally the 75 new recruits recruited in this large-scale army expansion, and this part of the soldiers also accounts for the largest proportion of the Qin army.

Except for the recruits in the regular army, the remaining three ranks belong to the veterans in the regular army, and the total number of veterans is more than 80.

Even veterans who have been soldiers for more than three years in Daqin have not all seen blood, and even if they have seen blood, it does not mean that they have killed someone, so veterans are divided into three, six, and nine grades.

Those veterans who have been soldiers for more than a year and a half but less than three years but have never been on the battlefield, or who have seen blood on the battlefield but have never killed anyone, rely on their rich experience in the army and training, and their overall quality and combat effectiveness are stronger than those of the Daqin recruits. , and the regular army of each country, but weaker than the elite main force of each country.

Among the 80 veterans in Daqin, the total number of these veterans is about 20.

In addition, those veterans who have been soldiers for more than three years and have beheaded at least one enemy account for the largest proportion among the veterans of the Great Qin, with a total number of about 50. They are the well-deserved main force and pillar of the Qin army , It is also the source of reserve troops for the main elite battalion.

As for the most powerful army in the Qin Dynasty, it is naturally the ace elite battalion such as breaking the barracks and trapping the camp.

According to statistics, Daqin currently has: Broken Army Camp, Trapped Camp, Nine Dragon Guards, Iron Guards, Tiger Guards, Flying Tiger Army, Euphorbia Soldiers, Xiandeng Dead Soldiers, Flying Bear Army, Beiwei Army, Wolf Cavalry Army, White Horse Justice Eighteen ace elite battalions, including Cong, Dragon Cavalry Army, Tenglong Army, Qin Wuzu, and Detachment of Women, had a total number of nearly [-].

It is quite remarkable for other countries to have one or two ace elite battalions, but Daqin already has eighteen battalions. It is precisely because of these elites that the Qin army has an undefeated and invincible record .

Among the 150 million Daqin regular army, there are 75 regular recruits, 20 regular veterans, 50 regular main forces, and [-] elite elite battalions.

The largest number of the regular army of the Great Qin is the new army, accounting for 48.3%, which is close to half of the total. The addition of so many new troops will inevitably lead to a decline in the overall quality and combat power of the Qin army.

In fact, the recruits of Daqin are excellent in all aspects. After all, they were selected through layers of selection, and then trained by a group of famous generals for more than a year. Coupled with the excellent equipment of the Qin army, even if they have never been on the battlefield I have never seen blood, and my combat power will not be weak.

But you must know that the real elite is never trained, but killed in the sea of ​​swords and flames.

If elites could be trained by training alone, there would not be only 150 ace elites in the Daqin [-] regular army.

Although Daqin's new army is inexperienced, it has a good foundation after all, coupled with its superior equipment, as long as it goes to the battlefield and has experienced life and death and the tempering of the flames of war, it can be quickly promoted and transformed into a veteran.

Now these two battles are going on, whether it is on the eastern front or the western front, there is the participation of the Great Qin New Army, and the number of participants is quite a lot.

Of the 120 million troops that fought against the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, Ming, and Sui, 55 of them were new troops, and the remaining 60 were veterans. Fifteen veterans and 20 recruits were left to guard their homes.

There were also 15 new troops among the thirty armies on the western front, which accounted for half of the total force of the Sui Dynasty. From this, it can be seen that there must be new troops in the three armies of the Sui Dynasty.

Among the 17 troops on Mengtian South Road, the ratio of recruits and veterans is about half and half, that is, [-] recruits and [-] veterans, but they have to be divided into three places to resist the [-] Sui-Tian coalition forces. Budget carefully.

Among the 5000 troops led by Yang Ren and Fu Cunshen, each has [-] veterans, while the other [-] are recruits.

As for the [-] army led by Meng Tian, ​​there are [-] regular main troops and [-] regular recruits. After all, Xining City is the most important of the three cities, and it faces the greatest pressure. dry strategy.

If Meng Tian wanted to rescue Yang Ren, he could only bring [-] troops at most and leave [-] new troops to guard Xining. After all, if there were more, Xining would be in danger.

But if this is the case, he will face the main force of the [-] Sui army with [-] Qin troops.

Meng Tian is not cowardly, if he had even an elite battalion in his hands, he would dare to fight head-on with [-] Sui troops with an army of [-], but he only has [-] main troops, and the other [-] are still All recruits.

Although the strength of the main force of the Qin army is higher than that of the main force of the Sui army, even with the advantage of equipment, it is impossible to offset the advantage of three times its strength.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian couldn't help complaining to Li Jing, that he was too ruthless with the strong and weak branches, so that he was so passive now.

Why are the two armies in the middle so smooth?In addition to the largest number, there are also the Flying Bear Army and the Dragon Cavalry Army, and the Dragon Army on the North Road also has the Tenglong Army under the command, but Meng Tian's command does not have a single elite battalion.

This is also the main reason why Meng Tian has been waiting for Fu Cunju, because there is no ace battalion anymore, and if there is no [-] reinforcements from Fu Cunju, the [-] main force alone can't beat the [-] Sui army. .

But as Huangyuan City was in a hurry, Meng Tian had to send troops ahead of time, but the [-] Sui troops standing in front of him couldn't defeat him, so he was forced to use suspicious tactics in desperation.

"Report... to the deputy governor, that a large number of Qin troops appeared outside Xining City, and what they were flying was the banner with the word 'Fu'."

"What? How could Fu Cunjian come so fast?"

Yang Xiong stood up with a shocked face. According to his estimation, Fu Cunshen should have two days to arrive at the lottery team, but it turned out to be a full two days earlier, and there are only two possibilities:

One is that this Qin army is a suspicious soldier.

The second is that Fu Cunshen had already led the army to set off before the Sui-Tian coalition forces took action.

Both the first and the second are possible in Yang Xiong's view, and even the second is even more likely, after all, the opponent he is facing now is Meng Tian.

When Meng Tian served as the governor of Hetao, he defeated the coalition forces of the Yang, Ma and Han clans. Later, the governor of Liangzhou also suppressed the Sui Dynasty, and succeeded repeatedly. Most of the generals of the Sui Dynasty basically suffered losses in his hands.

It seems normal for such a tough and extremely difficult Meng Tian to be able to predict the movement of the Sui-Tu coalition forces in advance.

Meng Tian's prestige in Liangzhou is still very high, and it is precisely because the leader of the Qin army is Meng Tian that Yang Xiong is so hesitant, otherwise, the strategy of suspicious soldiers would not be successful at all.

Meng Tian has already made a move, and the pressure has shifted to Yang Xiong. Should he withdraw or continue to stare at Meng Tian?
If it is really Fu Cunju who came, the [-] Sui army in Yang Xiong's hands is definitely not the opponent of the [-] to [-] Qin army, and Yang Xingmi's troops are fifty miles away from him. If he supports it, he even has the risk of annihilation of the whole army.

But is it really Fu Cunju who came?

Yang Xiong still had some doubts in his heart, but what Qin Jun did next dispelled all his doubts.

"Report...Qi to the Deputy Commander, after Fu Cunshen's department arrived in Xining, Meng Tian led his army out of the city, and after the two armies joined forces, they came to our army."

After hearing this, Yang Xiong no longer had any doubts or hesitation in his heart. After all, if it wasn't for Fu Cunshen who came, with Meng Tian's strength, he would be too late to hide, so how dare he fight him?So it must be the arrival of Fu Cunshen that gave Meng Tian enough confidence.

Now the Qin army has a full army of 5000 to [-], relying on its own [-] troops, it is definitely not an opponent.

Therefore, Yang Xiong didn't hesitate much, and ordered decisively: "Send the order, the whole army retreats, and go to meet with the governor. Qin cannot be given a chance to defeat our army one by one."

"promise."

Thirty thousand Sui troops retreated in an orderly manner under the command of Yang Xiong, and this move made Meng Tian secretly heave a sigh of relief.

In case Yang Xiong is stubborn and does not retreat, then he can only directly fight Yang Xiong with [-] Qin troops. After all, retreating will only expose the truth, and Yang Xiong will never allow him to escape back to Xining.

Once Meng Tian and Yang Xiong have a decisive battle, if they cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, when Yang Xingmi's reinforcements arrive, the Qin army may really be completely wiped out.

Therefore, Yang Xiong took the initiative to retreat and give way, which was the best solution for Meng Tian.

Next, Meng Tian's 5000 men, disguised as an army of [-], marched westward at full speed, as if impatient, but this dispelled Yang Xingmi's suspicion.

Yang Xingmi didn't believe that Meng Tian could predict their actions in advance, but Yang Xiong vowed that Meng Tian could do it, which made Yang Xingmi shake his judgment, and then Meng Tian showed that he couldn't wait to fight him decisively .

If Meng Tian only had 3 or [-] troops, how could he dare to fight his [-] troops?That's why I believe that Meng Tian predicted their actions.

There are only two choices before Yang Xingmi:

One is to fight directly with Meng Tian, ​​but Yang Xingmi always feels that he has no advantage and may even lose if the [-] Sui army fights the [-] Qin army.

The second is to suspend the encirclement and suppression of Yang Ren, join forces with Lun Qinling, and then fight Meng Tian, ​​defeating the Qin army with absolute superiority.

After thinking about it, Yang Xingmi still felt that option [-] had a better chance of winning, so instead of stopping him, he let Meng Tian go to Huangyuan City.

When Meng Tian led the army to Huangyuan, the Tubo army had already joined forces with Yang Xingmi under the leadership of Lun Qinling. After all, if they did not leave, the Tubo army might not be able to withstand the attack of [-] to [-] Qin troops from inside and outside. ah.

Looking at the damaged city walls of Huangyuan City, and the broken limbs and broken arms everywhere outside the city, Meng Tian knew how fierce the battle to defend the city was without having to think about it.

After all, Huangyuan City is just a small city. Apart from the city walls, there are almost no defensive facilities, so it is not easy to defend. It is only a matter of time before it falls.

But Yang Ren relied on only one city wall to block the onslaught of the [-] Tubo army for three days, and naturally he paid a lot of money.

In just three days of defending the city, the Qin army suffered a full [-] casualties, and the Tubo army also suffered around [-] casualties.

Meng Tian's rescue was very timely. If he came a day or two later, Huangyuan City might not be able to survive.

Therefore, when Yang Ren saw Meng Tian, ​​he was very excited. Meng Tian not only saved him, but also saved the lives of all the soldiers in the city.

But when he saw that there were only [-] reinforcements behind Meng Tian, ​​Yang Ren was completely dumbfounded.

Meng Tian didn't bother to explain to Yang Ren, and ordered decisively: "Yang Ren obeys orders."

"The end is here."

"Abandon Huangyuan City immediately, and withdraw to Xining with the governor."

"What? Give up Huangyuan City?"

Yang Ren showed disbelief, and quickly asked: "But if we give up Huangyuan, what should we do if the Sui-Tu coalition forces enter Liangzhou and go to support Daxing City?"

"Don't worry, Commander Li Jing has led reinforcements here as quickly as possible. If the Sui-Tian coalition forces enter Liangzhou from Huangyuan City to support Daxing, they will only run into Chief Governor Li Jing head-on."

Hearing this, Yang Ren was relieved. After all, Li Jing had two elites, the Flying Bear Army and the Dragon Cavalry Army. If they really bumped into each other head-on, it would not be certain who would hit the other.

Sorry, the state is not very good recently, the mind is not on the code words, I got stuck when I wrote this, and it took me three days to write this chapter.
