 …

According to statistics, the 'Battle of the Hetao' lasted a total of one and a half years, with 116 battles, 230,000 enemies killed, 320,000 prisoners captured, and 290,000 casualties. After deducting losses, the total reward was 2,500 summoning points. The host currently has a total of Has 7580 summoning points. 】

The Battle of the Hetao once again broke the record of the longest and largest battle that Qin Hao has personally experienced since joining the army, and this battle is definitely the most brutal battle.

When the Battle of Hetao just started, Qin Hao had not even unified Sizhou;

While the Battle of Hetao was going on, Qin Hao not only unified Sizhou and carried out a campaign to exterminate Buddhism, but also forced Zhao Kuangyin to conquer Yuzhou, conquered the four counties of Bingnan, and connected Bingzhou and Jingbei. strategic goals.

Before the war, Qin Hao's children were not long born, but after the war, Qin Ying was able to run around and call people.

This shows that how long the Battle of Hetao lasted was much longer than the Battle of Dong, which lasted nearly a year and a half.

Before the war, the Yuan-Mongol Empire had a total of 600,000 cavalry. In order to completely defeat the Jin army, Temujin directly used two-thirds of the country's troops, which was 400,000 cavalry.

Under the torrent of 400,000 cavalry, the Jin army, with a total strength of only 150,000, was once beaten so hard that it could not hold its head up. Even the governor Yang Ye had to sacrifice his life to plot, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own son Yang Silang.

Facing the invasion of foreign enemies and the threat of national subjugation and annihilation, the Jin army and the people under their leadership broke out with amazing resistance. The unity of the army and the people and the will of the people shocked the world and the princes of the world.

Twenty thousand troops are not enough? Then expand the army to 300,000;

Three hundred thousand is not enough? Then expand the army to 400,000;

 …

Relying only on the two bitter cold places of Hetao and Bingzhou, the Jin army armed 220,000 regular troops and 200,000 militiamen, a total of 420,000 soldiers and civilians, to deal with the 400,000 wolf-like and tiger-like anti-foreign cavalry. .

Of course, these emergency armed troops alone cannot fight against the well-trained main force of Yuan and Mongolia. However, the soldiers and civilians of Hetao adopted the most heroic method of warfare:

 People's War.

Who said the Han people are lambs?

Who said that without the army, the Han people would have no choice but to be slaughtered by others? The people of Hetao used practical actions to tell the people of Yuanmeng that the people are not lambs and will never be bullied or slaughtered by you!

Under the desperate obstruction of countless Hetao soldiers and civilians, the Yuan and Mongolian armies had to attack the city with all their strength wherever they went. Every time they broke into a city, the casualties were extremely heavy, and they gradually fell into the vast ocean of people's war.

 Under the pressure of these huge casualties, even Emperor Temujin of the Yuan Dynasty had to adjust his strategy and issued two clear instructions:

 1. No massacre of the city will be allowed;

 2. Do not bully, beat or scold the people in the city at will;

The soldiers and civilians of the Hetao forged the Great Wall with flesh and blood, giving the Jin army a chance to protect and breathe. Until Qin Hao and Bai Qi led 40,000 fine cavalry and 110,000 Qin and Ming coalition troops respectively into the Hetao, the Han army was passively beaten in the Hetao. Only then did a reversal occur.

Temujin saw that the bone in the Hetao was so hard that even the 400,000-strong army could not chew it down, so he ordered 200,000 domestic troops to be recruited while continuing to recruit 100,000 main troops from the country.

In order to solve the problem of casualties during the siege, Temujin did not hesitate to liberate domestic slaves and organize them into an army, and successively formed an army of 150,000 slaves.

At this point, Temujin's military strength in order to seize the Hetao reached its peak, with nearly 650,000 troops, while the peak strength of the Han army reached 580,000.

This was an unprecedented battle involving more than one million troops. The two sides fought for more than 1,300 miles of land in three and thirty counties of Hetao, and the battle resulted in bloodshed, **** rafts, and corpses strewn across the fields.

 This is a war destined to have no winner.

In the end, although the Qin, Jin and Ming coalition forces won the battle, they also suffered 1,000 casualties to the enemy and 180 losses to themselves. The militiamen sacrificed nearly 190,000 people, while the regular army suffered nearly 100,000 casualties.

 Before the war, the three counties of Hetao had a population of nearly 1.4 million, but after the war, there were only nearly 700,000 people left.

 The Hetao, which took the entire Bingzhou and Jin army efforts to build, was directly beaten into a sieve after this battle, and was about to be completely destroyed.

In addition, the mountains of grain stored in the Bingzhou and Hetao grain depots, which are enough to support an army of 500,000 for two consecutive years of campaign, have also been consumed.

It can be said that although the Qin and Jin coalition forces won the battle, they were crippled and impoverished. If there was no way to recover blood as quickly as possible, they could only slowly recover by licking their wounds with tears.

The victory of the Han army was already so miserable, and as the loser, Yuan Meng's fate was naturally even worse.

Among the 650,000 troops dispatched by Temujin, except for Murong Ke's 100,000 troops, who survived because they were transferred back to Longcheng to encircle and suppress the Han army that had left the fortress, the remaining 550,000 troops were all The army was annihilated, and even Emperor Temujin of the Yuan Dynasty was not spared. Only Wo Kuotai led the remaining three thousand people to escape back to Longcheng.

The entire 550,000-strong army was wiped out. Yuan Meng's military strength was suddenly reduced by more than half. This also caused Yuan Meng's national foundation to be severely damaged, and it was impossible to recover in a short time.

At present, there are less than 250,000 troops left in Yuan and Mongolia, and one of them is a new soldier. However, they have to face the covetousness of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the east and the oppression of the Qin and Jin Dynasties in the south.

It can be said that the Battle of Hetao directly destroyed the national power of Yuan and Meng, consumed all the savings accumulated by the destruction of Xianbei, and even put the entire country on the verge of disintegration.

Of the 550,000 troops that were destroyed in Yuanmeng, nearly 320,000 surrendered, and the remaining 230,000 died on the land of Hetao.

 230,000 yuan of bones of Mongolian soldiers, plus nearly 300,000 bones of Han soldiers, and 4 to 500,000 bones of Hetao people...

 In just one and a half years, nearly one million people died in the Hetao. Their bones have all been transformed into nutrients for the land. I believe that the Hetao will usher in a good harvest in the coming year.

As of the first update, because Huo Qubing hasn’t come back yet, so taking it out of the fortress will be counted separately, and it will not be included in the battle of Hetao. The results of the outbound battle will be calculated separately later.
