Chapter 2746 On breaking the defense of Qinling and recapturing Huangyuan City

Chapter 2742: On breaking Qinling's defenses and regaining Huangyuan City

Huangyuan official road.

Lun Qinling and Yang Youji, who were leading the defeated Tubo army who had lost three battles in a row, fled to Huangyuan City in a panic.

With an absolute superiority in military strength, he was easily defeated by Li Jing three times in a row. This dealt a huge blow to the always proud Lun Qinling, but now he could not care about his pride and dignity, because life is the most important thing. Only by being alive can the shame be washed away.

"Has Qin Jun caught up?"

Lun Qinling asked Yang Youji who was following up with a flustered expression. The reason why he asked this question was because the Qin army's pursuit this time was different from the previous two times.

In the previous two times, the Qin army only chased and did not fight. Even if they caught up with the fallen Tubo army, they continued to drive them away.

But this time, in addition to chasing the Qin army, anyone who was caught up with the Tubo defeated army would be executed.

In the third battle between Qin and Tubo, the Tubo army lost their courage and lost too quickly due to low morale, so the casualties in the war were not high. The total number was less than 2000, but nearly three people died in the pursuit. thousand.

It was precisely because the Qin army did not accept the surrender of the Tubo army that all the Tubo defeated troops ran for their lives, fearing that they would be killed by the Qin army if they ran too slowly.

The blood on Yang Youji's body was obviously from the battle. After wiping off the blood stains on his face, he said solemnly: "The Qin army has already caught up, but they just killed the fallen soldiers, and they didn't mean to launch a surprise attack."

If the Qin army did not take the initiative to attack, the Tubo army escaped, but Lun Qinling not only did not have the slightest joy, on the contrary, his face was extremely ugly.

Because he knew that Li Jing didn't launch an attack, but instead hid behind and let him escape back to Huangyuan. This was not because of kindness or arrogance, but because he had more sinister intentions.

It is naturally impossible for Lun Qinling to give up this group of defeated troops, but these defeated troops have been frightened by the Qin army, and if they really escape back, it will definitely affect other Tubo soldiers.

Li Jing wanted to completely dismantle the morale of the Tubo army through these three wars, so that the Tubo army would change their face when they talked about Qin in the future, and never dare to bring up their fighting spirit again.

"Li Jing, it's just a dream that you want to fear me, Tubo, just because of the three battles."

Lun Qinling looked in the direction of the Qin army, and said to the left and right: "How far is it from Huangyuan City?"

"There are still more than twenty miles."

"Order the whole army to hold on a little longer. When we reach Huangyuan City, it will be the time for our Tubo army to turn defeat into victory."

Hearing what Lun Qinling said, Yang Youji's face changed instantly, because Lun Qinling also said the same in the previous two battles, and the Tubo army, who was scared by the Qin army, fought against the Qin army in the next two wars. In the confrontation, although they were not defeated at the first touch, they could not hold on for too long.

Although there are still 2 people in the Tubo army who have fled back, Shan Shan is completely frightened and dare not fight the Qin army again.

Not to mention that the Qin army who was chasing was still more than 500, even [-] people were enough to defeat the Tubo army.

Therefore, from Yang Youji's point of view, it is a bit irrational for Lun Qinling to refuse to admit defeat and even want to turn defeat into victory.

Although it is said that the Tubo people died in the defeat of Qinling, not the people of the Sui Kingdom, but now the Sui Kingdom is no longer able to protect itself, and Tubo and the Sui Kingdom are allies. If Tubo is maimed by the Qin army, it will damage both power of the alliance.

"As for the general, our army has lost three battles in a row. The morale of the soldiers has been lost, and they no longer have the will to fight. Isn't it a little irrational to start a war with the Qin army at this time?" Yang Youji persuaded with a tactful face.

Lun Qinling knew what Yang Youji was worried about. He didn't need to explain anything. After all, all he used were soldiers from Tubo, and Yang Youji had no right to intervene. Patiently explained:
"At this time and at that time, although the Qin army won three battles in a row, they fought three battles in three days and pursued alone for more than a hundred miles.

Even if the soldiers of the Qin army were all made of iron, they couldn't withstand such a high-intensity battle, so they must be exhausted at this time, and their combat strength is not one in ten. "

Lun Qinling's face was full of confidence, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, and even had a strange flush.

"The [-] defeated troops who fled back to Huangyuan were indeed afraid of the Qin army and could no longer be reused, but there were still [-] defenders in Huangyuan City.

The [-] defenders did not fight the Qin army, and their morale was not damaged. They would surely defeat Li Jing's tired army of less than [-]. "

Lun Qinling's remarks made sense at first glance to Yang Youji. After all, he waited for work with ease, and adding [-] won't hit [-], but the previous three-game losing streak was imminent, and Lun Qinling's There is something wrong with his mental state, and he really doesn't believe that Lun Qinling can turn defeat into victory.

Yang Youji wanted to persuade him to calm down again, but Lun Qinling had already made up his mind, so he obviously wouldn't listen to him, so he could only let him sigh silently.

After Lun Qinling arrived in Huangyuan City, he did not let deserters enter the city, but still rectified the defeated soldiers outside the city, and at the same time mobilized the army in the city to leave the city, preparing for the fourth decisive battle with the Qin army.

Lun Qinling placed a total of [-] troops in the third battalion of Huangyuan Road, and after three consecutive defeats, there were still [-] Tubo soldiers who fled back to Huangyuan City.

In other words, after three such major defeats, the Tubo army only suffered 1 casualties, and 8000 people fled back.

This is enough to show that Li Jing deliberately let Lun Qinling escape, otherwise he could have been chased and killed until the entire army was wiped out.

The Tubo soldiers who fled back to Huangyuan didn't understand this. They only knew that their legs were about to break, and they managed to escape from the pursuit of the Qin army.

But Lun Qinling did not allow them to enter the city, and seeing this posture, they were even preparing to fight the Qin army for the fourth time.

How can they, who are completely frightened, accept this?

After being defeated by the Qin army three times in a row, in the eyes of these defeated Tubo troops, fighting the Qin army was no different from courting death, so naturally they did not want to fight the Qin army again, so they all objected and asked Lun Qinling to let them enter the city.

If Lun Qinling let go at this time and let the defeated army pour into the city in a mess, it would be tantamount to surrendering Huangyuan City to the Qin army.

Facing the turbulent situation of the soldiers, if Lun Qinling didn't stand up and explain, he might really risk mutiny.

But even if he stood up to maintain the situation and promised not to let the defeated army participate in the battle again, there were still a large number of defeated troops who did not believe it. The fear of the Qin army in their hearts had made them lose their correct judgment.

In the end, Lun Qinling killed hundreds of troublemakers with iron and blood, and then forcibly controlled the [-] defeated troops, and the [-] defenders in the city also left the city one after another and took up positions.

"Report...report to the general, Qin Jun, Qin Jun..."

The Tubo scouts were too excited, and when they came to report, they stumbled, and they couldn't even speak well.

Seeing this, Lun Qinling quickly helped up the scouts and asked, "Is the Qin army here?"

"No, no, the Qin army retreated."

"what?"

Lun Qinling screamed, he thought that Li Jing would fight head-to-head with the Tubo army like the previous three times, but he didn't expect that this time Li Jing would take the initiative to back down. accept?

Lun Qinling's mentality completely collapsed. He rushed to the forefront of the army, rushed to the direction of the retreating Qin army, and roared: "Li Jing, you coward, why don't you dare to come? You also have the guts to come here again, you You coward, why don't you come?"

The Tubo soldiers looked at Lun Qinling who lost his composure, and the Huangyuan defenders didn't understand why the usually calm general lost his composure this time, but they will soon know.

As for the defeated army, they also don't understand that the Qin army took the initiative to retreat, and they also escaped a catastrophe. Why is the general still reluctant?
Only Lun Qinling knows that this may be his only chance to defeat Li Jing and wash away the shame of Huangyuan Dao's disastrous defeat. When Li Jing brings troops to Huangyuan City next time, it will not be three thousand Qin soldiers, but It is an army of fifty thousand.

Relying on the frightened defeated army in the city, it may be more difficult than ascending to the sky to stop the [-] Qin army who are like wolves and tigers.

Looking at Lun Qinling who was so angry that he was even crazy, Yang Youji knew that he was on the verge of collapse, and from now on he would never forget Li Jing, because Li Jing had become his demon.

"not good."

Suddenly, Lun Qinling seemed to want to achieve something, his eyes widened, and he ordered hurriedly: "Quickly, isolate the Huangyuan defenders from the fleeing defeated army, and do not allow private contact between the soldiers of the two armies."

Previously, Lun Qinling only cared about turning defeat into victory to wash away the shame of his disastrous defeat to Li Jing, but ignored the impact of the contact between the defenders inside the city and the defeated army outside the city.

Although Lun Qinling has reacted now, it is obviously too late. The defenders in the city have already had contact with the defeated army. The news of the three consecutive defeats of Huangyuan Road has been completely hidden. This will definitely affect the [-] defenders of Huangyuan City. Army morale.

Looking at the [-] Huangyuan defenders who were whispering and discussing a lot, Lun Qinling felt his mind go blank, and then he fainted.

On the other side, although Li Jing retreated, he did not retreat far away, but retreated fifty miles to wait for the main force behind.

Lun Qinling was right in guessing that the Qin army had gone through three battles in three days and pursued alone for more than a hundred miles. It was indeed almost reaching its limit.

It was precisely because of this that Li Jing retreated voluntarily. After all, the Qin army in such a state had no strength left, and even the elite battalion could not defeat the Tubo army that was three times the size of his own. Would he be courting death if he did not retreat?
Although Li Jing chose to withdraw his troops and let Lun Qinling lead the defeated army to flee back to Huangyuan City, he was not worried about the ensuing battle at all.

Because Huangyuan City is not a strong city, and this Tubo army has been frightened, and it will also affect other Tubo troops, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the onslaught of [-] Qin troops.

Li Jing was absolutely sure that as long as the army from the rear arrived, it would only take one day to break through Huangyuan City and open up the passage to Bison Mountain.

"Immediately send a message to Li Mu and ask him to speed up his march. We must arrive at Huangyuan City within one day." Li Jing ordered in a deep voice.

"One day? Governor, is this a little too urgent?" Hua Xiong asked with a puzzled expression.

"The decisive battle at Bison Mountain has already begun. Commander Meng Tian is fighting with an army of 18 against the enemy's [-] coalition forces. If we are one second late, Commander Meng Tian will have to take an extra risk." Li Jing explained.

Originally, Li Jing was not in a hurry, because when he defeated Lun Qinling for the first time, the outcome was already doomed. No matter how Lun Qinling struggled, he was destined to only develop in the direction he envisioned.

But after he defeated Lun Qinling for the first time, he received the news of the decisive battle of the bison battle from Meng Tian, ​​and his two sons, Jin Zha and Mu Zha, who lived outside, even participated in this battle.

Although Li Jing has married another man and has Nezha, he has always been very indebted to his two sons, Jin Zha and Mu Zha. After all, people only understand what is precious after they lose it.

Li Jing thought that the two of them had died a long time ago, but he didn't expect that the two sons not only survived, but unexpectedly joined the Yuqing Sect, got the best education, and came back after so many years.

As a father, the joy of regaining what had been lost made Li Jing almost faint from happiness, but the two sons are now in Bison Mountain.

Li Jing has already lost Jin Zha Mu Zha once, so naturally he cannot allow another one.

Therefore, whether it is for the war or for his two sons, Li Jing must arrive at Bison Mountain in time, because he cannot bear the price of being late.

Li Jing issued three military orders to urge Li Mu to speed up the march, but Li Mu naturally did not dare to disobey, under the increased marching speed of 'Wu'an', it actually took only one day to reach Huangyuan City.

After the arrival of the main army, Li Jing did not let the exhausted army rest and reorganize, but ordered the whole army to enter Huangyuan City, because Lun Qinling had already abandoned the city and fled yesterday, and this also allowed the Qin army to spend without a single soldier. He recaptured Huangyuan City.

"Great governor, the Tubo army should not have run far, the last general asked to lead Qingqi to pursue it?"

Longxuhu asked for a fight, he was excited after winning so many games in a row.

"No need, for the [-] Tubo troops in Lun Qinling, it is more useful to flee back than to annihilate them directly." Li Jing said lightly.
