Chapter 2080 The Battle of Beiping in Qin and Qing Dynasties (4)

Chapter 2078: The Battle of Beiping between Qin and Qing Dynasties (4)

“Lord, this is the battle report from the front line.”

Qin Hao took a look and took a breath. It had only been four days since the war started, and he had already suffered 20,000 casualties.

If the battle continues in this manner, it will be difficult to attack Wujiu and Junmixia without killing or injuring 40,000 to 50,000 people, and if we want to completely end the battle, we may not have to kill or injure 70,000 to 80,000 people.

If this is the case, the pension alone is enough for the Qin army to drink a pot. After the war, they will probably have to tighten their belts to live a better life.

 Looking at his lord's expression, Liu Bowen knew that his lord must be feeling distressed about the casualties, and immediately said: "My lord, our army is the attacking party, and casualties are inevitable.

Moreover, among the 20,000 casualties in the army, more than half were integrated troops, and the main force only suffered 10,000 casualties. Among them, 5,000 wounded soldiers were able to return to the military camp after recovering from their injuries.

 Such casualties are not very large compared to the results of the battle. "

Liu Bowen was right. After all, among the five armies, Xue and Wei's two hundred thousand troops suffered 10,000 casualties, while Bai Suhuo's three 180,000 troops only suffered 10,000 casualties.

 The casualty rate of the main force is indeed much lower than that of the integrated army. In the final analysis, it is because the morale of the surrendered army is not high enough and the combat effectiveness is not strong enough that the overall casualty rate of the Qin army is high.

 This is also the main reason why Qin Hao doesn't like to use surrender troops and new troops to fight.

 I can’t bear to be beaten.

After hearing Liu Bowen's comfort, Qin Hao felt much better, and then asked: "If we advance at this speed, how long will it take to break through the Manchu and Qing companies and attack the cities of Wu Ending and Jun Mi?"

Zhuge Liang stood up and said: "My lord, the Manchu troops are scattered, and the defensive capabilities of each battalion are not strong. If Nurhaci does not make changes, I think all companies and battalions will be able to be wiped out within half a month."

 “Half moon?”

Qin Hao murmured softly, then smiled lightly and said: "Although Gongsun Xuanyuan is behind the enemy, he only has 10,000 troops, but he is surrounded by the dangers of Lulong and Jieshi. Even if the Manchu counterattack regardless of casualties, it will be more than enough to last for half a month.

 The victory of this battle has been decided. "

Qin Hao raised his fist high and declared victory in advance, but Liu Bowen said: "My lord, we still need to beware of Nurhachi's trapped beast still fighting."

As soon as Liu Bowen finished speaking, he heard from outside the door...

"Report...to report to my lord, there is an urgent report from the Grand Governor."

"oh?"

Qin Hao showed a surprised look, and after taking a look, his face suddenly condensed, and he said: "Nurhaci gave up the twenty-five major camps, instead shrinking the defense line, and concentrated his troops to defend the last ten battalions. It seems that he wanted to delay time. .

The two military advisors and the troops of the 35 Manchu and Qing battalions were concentrated into ten large camps. The defensive power of each large camp was greatly increased. It may not be that easy to break the camp in half a month. "

Zhuge Liang smiled calmly and said: "Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord."

 “Where does happiness come from?” Qin Hao asked curiously.

"My lord, the Qing Dynasty's 200,000-strong army was trapped in two counties. The scope of their activities was already extremely narrow, but now they have voluntarily abandoned the twenty-fifth battalion's defense line and surrendered more than ten miles of defense line. Their scope of activities has been further squeezed by our army. Isn't this a great thing?"

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Qin Hao thought about it and found that it was indeed true.

With Nurhaci voluntarily abandoning twenty-five companies and camps, the scope of activities of the Manchu army has become increasingly narrow. Once the last ten companies and camps are breached, it will really become a piece of cake. Qin Jun can eat whatever he wants and whenever he wants. "However, although the Manchu Qing's scope of activities has been further squeezed, its defensive power has also been greatly improved. How to crack this method?" Qin Hao asked.

"Lord, it's time to dispatch the Chinese army. We can use our absolute superiority in strength to overwhelm the last ten companies of the Qing Dynasty." Zhuge Liang said.

If he could use a strategy, Zhuge Liang would naturally not want to attack by force. However, Nurhachi was not incompetent. The fifty-five company camps he established were not connected to each other. It was obviously to prevent the Qin army from attacking with fire when they first established the camp. count.

The fire attack company and battalion are useless, and other strategies such as luring the enemy are useless. There is no other way except a strong attack, so the casualties that must be paid cannot be avoided at all.

The reason why Qin Hao's 60,000-strong Chinese army has not moved is because he is waiting for any army to suffer too many casualties during a forceful attack. If the troops are insufficient, the Chinese army can make up for it at any time as a new force.

Unexpectedly, even though Qin Hao was not suffering from heartache or casualties, Nurhachi could no longer bear it anymore and took the initiative to shrink the defense line. This also increased the intensity of the subsequent offensive by several levels, to the point where even 60,000 Chinese troops had to participate. .

 “Okay, I, the king, will lead the army there.”

A hint of excitement flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he ordered: "Send the order and the whole army will set off."

With Qin Hao's order, the 60,000-strong Chinese army headed towards the frontline mountainous area. However, the direction of the army was not Baiqi's department, but Huo Qubing's.

Huo Qubing's troops were all cavalry. No matter how powerful and wealthy the Qin army was, they could not waste their precious cavalry in a critical battle.

Therefore, since the beginning of the war, not a single Qing camp in the Huo tribe has been captured. Its real role is to cut off the connection between the Qing army's battalions, and to send troops to pursue and kill the Qing army when the battalion breaks through.

The reason why Qin Hao did not go to Bai Qi's place but to Huo Qubing's place was because Bai Qi's side had strong troops and horses and did not lack the strength to attack the enemy, while Huo Qubing's department was in urgent need of all cavalry.

At the same time that Qin Hao led his army to join Huo Qubing, the two armies of Xue and Wei were also moving closer to the two armies of Bai and Su. The six Qin armies had a tendency to automatically merge into three armies.

This is actually due to the war situation. The Qin army attacked in five directions before because the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's fifty-five companies guarded the five roads leading to western Liaoning.

If you attack the Qing army on any one road alone, the defenders on the other four roads will provide support. Therefore, all five roads must send troops together to prevent the Qing army from looking at each other.

Now the battle situation is very different. The Qing Dynasty has shrunk its defense line, and twenty-five company camps have been voluntarily abandoned. Although the remaining ten camps are still located on the only way, the Qin army no longer needs to attack them one by one. .

During the march, Qin Hao turned on the world map function and clicked on the map of Beiping County on the right to observe the situation of the Qin army on the entire battlefield.

Only two counties, Wujiang and Junmi, were seen. The Qin and Qing armies were scattered all over the land with a radius of dozens of miles. Among them, the black ones were the Qin army and the green ones were the Qing armies.

The Qin army first started from the west of Youbeiping and quickly swept through the central part. Now it has reached the east. As long as it crosses the last Youyan Mountains, it can enter a plain area. The two cities of Wu End and Jun Mi are located on this plain. Across this plain is a mountainous area, and Luronce is located in this mountainous area.

Looking at the ten strongholds blocking the end of the mountainous area on the map, Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Nurhaci can attack Lulong regardless of casualties, and I, Qin Hao, can do the same."

Qin Hao decisively ordered: "Send an order to Bai Qi and Su Dingfang to break through the Manchu and Qing defense lines as soon as possible at all costs and attack the cities of Wu Ending and Jun Mi."

Seeing that the Xue and Wei troops were about to join the Bai Su troops, Qin Hao's heart moved and he ordered: "Order the Xue and Wei troops to attack first."

The casualties of the storm were too great. Qin Hao was reluctant to sacrifice his main force, so he had no choice but to use the entire army as cannon fodder. Anyway, he would not be heartbroken even if the entire 100,000-strong army was wiped out.

As a guarantee, we have two days off on weekends and Mondays, and we will try our best to update them during these two days.
