Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2773 The battle of beauty, Long Qi VS Gao Huan
Chapter 2769: The battle of beauty, Long Qi VS Gao Huan
The most powerful army in the Sui Kingdom is Daxing's [-]-strong army. Among them are not only the powerful Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but also the elite Xiaoguo Army. easy.

Logically speaking, with such a strong army in hand, if Yang Guang chooses to defend to the death, relying on the danger of the city wall, even Li Jing can't do anything to him.

However, under the influence of the general trend, Daxing City was completely turned into an isolated city, a dead city, which also forced Yang Guang to abandon the city and flee, and voluntarily gave up Daxing, the most fortified city in Liangzhou.

With the strength of the [-] Sui army in Daxing City, even if the Qin army tried its best to destroy it, it would have to pay a huge price.

However, following Yang Guang's voluntary escape and Li Jing's strategy of ambush on all sides, three ambushes were fought, and the Qin army finally wiped out the most powerful army in the Sui Kingdom at a negligible price.

According to statistics after the war, the total casualties of the Qin army itself were less than 500, but they had achieved a cumulative record of annihilating [-] enemies and capturing [-] prisoners.

In fact, the soldiers of the Sui army were unjustly defeated. Most of them died at the hands of ambushes. They did not show their combat effectiveness at all, but this happened to be the cruelty of war, and there was no reason for it.

Li Jing ordered Hu Luguang to lead an army of [-] to support Xianmei City, and he returned to Daxing with the remaining troops and prisoners, officially taking over the control of Daxing from the surrendered army.

As the capital of the Sui Dynasty and the largest city in Kansai, Daxing City has a population of 16, which is larger than the total population of any two of the four counties in Xiliang.

When Yang Chan and Yang Min learned that Li Jing was back, they specially dragged Cheng Gongying, Ximen Bao, Zhao Yu, Li Delin and other Sui ministers to hold a city dedication ceremony for Li Jing.

Under the attention of the people in the city, Li Jing took over the military talisman, household register, and seal from Cheng Gongying, and then sent troops to formally take over Daxing City.

The first thing Li Jing did after entering the city was to send someone to take over and check the treasury, but it turned out that there were still 30 shi of grain and grass in the city, and 10 taels of gold, 50 taels of silver, and 20 pieces of silk were found. , nearly fifty carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and various weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds that are enough to equip an [-] army.

Li Jing was stunned when he heard about it. He knew that Sui State occupied the Silk Road and made a lot of money, but he didn't expect Sui State to be so rich.

Before the Sui State helped the Qiang people form an army of [-], Li Jing still thought that Yang Guang should have spent almost all of his family's wealth. It turned out that he only took out his family's wealth in Haizhou at that time, and the real big one was still very happy.

To put it bluntly, the seizure of Daxing City alone is enough to offset the expenditures of the Daqin Four Routes to conquer the Sui Dynasty, and there is even a surplus.

Now Li Jing finally understood why the imperial court wanted to occupy Liangzhou so urgently. It was because the benefits of the Silk Road were too great, and the sooner it was opened, the better it would be for Great Qin.

The Sui Kingdom was just a small country in Kansai, and the two states of Lianghai were also barren lands with vast land and sparsely populated areas. It was precisely because they occupied the Silk Road that they were able to raise an army of 30 and became the dominant force in Kansai.

"Yang Guang is dead, and Daxing has surrendered. Next, Lianghai and the two prefectures will be passed on, and the Silk Road will also belong to Daqin."

Li Jing smiled and said to himself, feeling more relaxed than ever. After all, after opening up the Silk Road, the Qin army in Kansai will definitely be richer financially in the future, so it will be easier to go south to destroy Shu in the future.

At this time, what Li Jing was thinking was no longer about conquering the Sui Dynasty, but how to unify the power of the four prefectures of Yongliang, Haihe, and at the same time divide and disintegrate many forces in the Western Regions, so as to prepare in advance for the future destruction of the Shu Han in the south.

"Report... to the governor, Gao Huan withdrew his troops from Xianmei City."

"Did Gao Huan run away?" Li Jing frowned.

The battle of showing beauty is actually a key point in the battle of conquering the Sui Dynasty.

Long Qi led a surprise attack with [-] troops and broke through Xianmei City, while Gao Huan, the governor of Liangzhou in the Sui Dynasty, led [-] troops back to help, but Long Qi's [-] Qin troops blocked Xianmei City.

Why does Long Qi only have [-] troops left in his hands?In fact, it was to cooperate with Li Jing's strategy of trapping the dragon.

In order to completely isolate Daxing City, Li Jing sent Li Maozhen to lead an army of [-] to attack the ten counties of Wuwei County from east to west, while Long Qie ordered Long Yang to lead an army of [-] to attack Wuwei County from west to east.

Once the ten counties of Wuwei under the Sui Dynasty were captured by the Qin army, Daxing City would be completely reduced to an isolated city.

The two Qin armies led by Li Maozhen and Long Yang, with a total of [-] troops, were attacked from both sides. It is reasonable to say that it was only a matter of time before Wuwei County, which had less than [-] troops, was defeated. His name is Wei Xiaokuan.

Wei Xiaokuan was a famous general during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He participated in many wars in the Northern Wei Dynasty and was promoted.

Gao Huan led an army to attack and surround Yubi. Wei Xiaokuan's military strength was at a disadvantage, but he used the terrain and tactics to defend the city. Gao Huan used various tactics to attack the city but failed. Gao Huan also died of illness after returning to the teacher.

The Battle of Yubi was one of the key battles between the strength and decline of the Eastern and Western Wei. The Western Wei, which was originally weak, shattered the Eastern Wei's attempt to destroy the Western Wei after this battle.

Later Northern Zhou Emperor Wu Wenyong accepted Wei Xiaokuan's suggestion and succeeded in defeating the Northern Qi and unifying the North.

Wei Xiaokuan was a famous general who was good at defense, and the ten cities of Wuwei under the Sui Dynasty were relying on the terrain of the Sui Dynasty to build a fortress that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, Li Maozhen and Long Yang did not attack Wuwei. Not smooth.

Li Maozhen and Longyang attacked at the beginning, relying on their high morale and rapid march, they quickly broke through the city and pulled out half of Wuwei's city, but it also gave Wei Xiaokuan the opportunity to shrink his troops and defend Guzang City to the death.

When Wei Xiaokuan concentrated his forces on defense, Li Maozhen and Long Yang's nightmare also came. No matter how fiercely they attacked, they were unable to break through Wei Xiaokuan's iron-like defense.

Only then did Li Maozhen and Long Yang understand that the invincibility in the early days was not due to their ability to fight, but because of the plan of the governor Li Jing, who caught the Sui army by surprise.

Being unable to break through Guzang for a long time made Li Maozhen and Long Yang a little impatient, so that they fell into Wei Xiaokuan's false surrender plan, which damaged a lot of troops and further lowered their morale.

At this time, Yang Guang promulgated the edict to release the Qiang people, which brought back the escaped Qiang faction who had defected to the original.

The Qiang fleeing faction headed by Yelu Shilu, Yelu Helu, Yelu Xiuge, and Yelu Xiezhen led an army of [-] Qiangs, formally separated from Yuanmeng, returned to Liangzhou, and went to Xianmei to join the war and support the Sui army.

Gao Huan already had [-] Sui troops in his hands, plus Yelv Shilu's [-] Qiang troops. After the two sides joined forces, the total strength reached [-].

Guzang City could not be attacked for a long time, but Xianmei City was besieged by [-] Sui and Qiang troops. Long was isolated and difficult to support. In desperation, he had to suspend the offensive on Guzang City and recall Longyang's [-] troops, only to let Li Maozhen Lead an army of [-] to stare at Wei Xiaokuan.

Longqie's actions will undoubtedly leave hidden dangers for Li Jing's trapped dragon situation, and eventually caused Yang Guang to give up Daxing and flee early after the Battle of Bison Mountain. But at that time, Longqie really had no other choice. He can only choose the latter.

When Long Yang returned with an army of [-], Long Qie had defended Xianmei City for half a month under the onslaught of [-] enemy troops. Gao Huan and Yelv Shilu took advantage of it.

The coalition forces of Gao Huan and Yelu Shilu are not easy to deal with, not only the three famous generals Gao Huan, Yelu Xiuge, and Yelu Xiezhen, but also the three war god-level fierce generals Gao Jineng, Yelu Shilu, and Yelu Helu.

It is obviously impossible to block so many people only by the dragon alone.

At the critical juncture, Long Qie, Zhong Lixuan, Yu Ziqi, and Ji Bu activated the combo technique 'Five Tigers Destroy the Enemy', which repelled Gao Jineng and other generals, and persisted until Longyang's reinforcements arrived.

With the return of Longyang, the pressure on Longqi was greatly reduced. The two brothers defended Xianmei City to the death. The supplies they had exhausted, they had to take the initiative to fight against the Sui and Qiang allied forces.

Long Qi personally led the [-] Qin army, including the two elites of the Tenglong Army and the Wolf Cavalry Army, as well as many fierce generals such as Long Yang, Zhong Lixuan, Ji Bu, Yu Ziqi, Guan Hai, Liao Hua, etc., against Gao Huan and Yelu. Shilu's [-] Sui and Qiang allied forces.

The Sui and Qiang coalition forces also gathered elite soldiers and powerful generals, not only the three famous generals and the three gods of war, but also the two elite armies of the Pishi Army and the Tielin Army.

The two Long and Longyang brothers teamed up to activate the combo skill 'Siblings with Branches', coupled with the boost of 'Five Tigers Destroy the Enemy', this blocked the three gods of war Gao Jineng, Yelu Shilu and Yelu Helu, but only Relying on this obviously cannot defeat the Sui and Qiang coalition forces.

In this battle, the two sides fought fiercely for a whole day. The Qin army killed nearly [-] troops, many generals such as Longqi, Longyang, Zhonglixuan, and Jibu were injured. The general died in battle.

On the other hand, on the side of the Sui and Qiang coalition forces, in addition to the death of nearly [-] troops, Gao Huan, Gao Jineng, Yelu Shilu and other generals were also wounded successively, and a large number of generals were killed in battle.

Yelu Helu, the leader of the 21 heroes of Abaoji Zuo Ming, was also killed by Long Qie after being wounded by Long Yang, and became the only God of War who fell in this battle.

In the battle of showing beauty, from the city defense battle to the field battle, the Qin army sacrificed a total of nearly 5000 troops, and the Sui and Qiang allied forces also fought from a [-] army to only [-] troops.

After this battle, although Long Qie only had [-] troops in his hands, Li Maozhen brought the supplies from the rear, so he was still able to continue to defend.

On the other hand, Gao Huan had more troops, but the battle damage was too great, with more than half of the army casualties, and it was obvious that he was unable to continue fighting.

Before the war, Gao Huan wanted to take back Xianmei City to break Li Jing's isolation from Daxing, but after this battle, he no longer dared to have too much extravagant hopes, nor did he dare to continue to attack Xianmei City, so he could only stare at it. Long Qi, wait for the changes in Bison Mountain and Daxing. Anyway, he doesn't have the ability to fight Daxing.

But what Gao Huan didn't expect was that Yang Xingmi's disastrous defeat at Bison Mountain forced Yang Guang to give up Daxing, and was caught in an ambush by Li Jing on the way to retreat.

Before Yang Guang retreated, he sent a message to Gao Huan and Wei Xiaokuan in advance, and asked them to be responsible for picking them up on the way, but Yang Guang failed to reach the pick-up point at all.

Gao Huan and Wei Xiaokuan both made preparations to welcome them, but they didn't see Yang Guang's arrival for a long time, so they naturally knew that Yang Guang would never come back.

Wei Xiaokuan resolutely gave up Guzang City, and led [-] defenders to retreat to Xianmei City to join Gao Huan, and handed over this strong city, which could not be captured by [-] Qin troops, directly to Li Maozhen.

As for Gao Huan, after realizing that Yang Guang was dead, he knew that the Sui army could not stay in Liangzhou any longer. All the population moved to the Western Regions.

The four prefectures of Xiliang, that is, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, and the state of Zhangye.

The combined population of the four counties of Xiliang is less than 30, but because they are located directly on the Silk Road and the caravans come and go frequently, they are still relatively rich. There are a lot of materials accumulated in the treasury, but if you want to move completely , obviously it won't be able to be moved in a short while.

All Gao Huan can do now is to move as many supplies and people as possible, but Daqin obviously won't give him this time.

Li Jing ordered Hu Luguang to lead an army of [-] troops to Xianmei City to support Longqie.

Once Hu Luguang arrives, Long Qie will have [-] troops in his hands, and if Li Maozhen's [-] troops are added, it will be [-] troops, and Gao Huan may have difficulty running away.

Gao Huan was frightened, and he didn't care about other things. He took his own [-] remnant army, Wei Xiaokuan's [-] soldiers and horses, and Yelv Shilu's [-] Qiang army, a total of [-] troops, and fled directly to the Western Regions.

After Long Qi learned about it, he personally led [-] cavalry to pursue it. It was obviously impossible for Gao Huan to escape so easily.
