Chapter 2722: Yang Ren fought against famous Tibetan generals, and Yang Shuang defeated the Western Region Allied Forces

After Meng Tian captured the three counties including Xining City, he did not continue to attack Xining County because the strategic goal of cutting off the connection between Haizhou and Daxing had been achieved.

Not only Meng Tian's Southern Route Army, but also Long Qie's Northern Route Army had only one goal from the beginning, which was to become the cage of Li Jing's trap and completely trap the dragon Yang Guang to death.

If Meng Tian continues to attack the city and seize territory, he will need to divide his troops for garrisoning, and the Qin army's strength will be further dispersed. This is not a good thing. After all, an army of 80,000 has to defend the three cities and three roads of Xining. In terms of military strength, it is far less wealthy than Li Jing's side. .

Meng Tian originally thought that even if this mission was not easy, it would not be too difficult. After all, he had an army of 80,000, while the Sui State only had an army of 70,000 in Haizhou.

What Meng Tian never expected was that in order to protect the Sui Kingdom, Yang Guang did not hesitate to fish from the lake, and even did such a crazy thing as exterminating the Qiang Order. There was no bottom line.

With a series of measures taken by Yang Guang, the number of troops in Haizhou increased. Although Meng Tian was not afraid of fighting, he felt great pressure from it, so he decisively decided to ask Li Jing for help.

However, due to the internal fighting between Yuan and Mongolia, Li Jing had to postpone the dispatch of reinforcements in order to wait for instructions from the court. During this period, the enemy troops in Haizhou also launched an attack on the Qin army.

At this time, the Qiang's 100,000-strong army has not yet formed an army. If after the training is completed, the three families' combined 270,000-strong army will join together, the chance of victory will definitely be greater.

However, Lun Qinling, the leader of the Tubo army, was unwilling to wait any longer. He believed that the longer the delay, the harder it would be to attack Xining City, and the Qin army's offensive in Wuwei County would become more intense.

Once the Qin army completely captures the ten cities in the west of Wuwei under Sui Dynasty, it will be able to liberate 50,000 to 60,000 new troops, and this army will definitely come to support Xining.

Therefore, if a war started at this time, the Sui and Tu allied forces would only face Meng Tian's 80,000 Qin troops.

But if we wait until the training of the 100,000 Qiang troops is completed, they will face hundreds of thousands of Qin troops.

Yang Xiong and Yang Xingmi were originally prepared to seek stability. After all, the news they received was that the Qin army only surrounded Daxing, but never launched a forceful attack. Since there was no crisis there, they could naturally be more stable.

After listening to the analysis of Lun Qinling, both Yang Xiong and Yang Xingmi were convinced by it. After the two sides combined, they decided not to wait for the Qiang army and first dispatched 170,000 Sui and Tu allied troops to attack Xining.

"The Qin army in Haizhou is now divided into three parts. Meng Tian leads 30,000 troops to guard Xining, and Yang Ren and Fu Cunshen each lead 25,000 troops to guard Huangyuan and Anyuan counties respectively."

Lun Qinling stood in front of the Haizhou sand table, pointed in the direction of Xining with his ruler, and said with a faint smile:

"Meng Tian is worthy of being a famous general of the Qin Dynasty. His 80,000 troops are divided into three places. Although the troops are dispersed, the three cities are the horns of each other. When one side is attacked, the other two sides can immediately support it. It is the barrier that isolates Haizhou and Daxing. The best deployment, there is no fear of the Sui army concentrating its forces to attack all the way.

It’s just that Meng Tian probably never imagined that our country, Tubo, would dispatch a hundred thousand troops to go down to the plateau to support the Sui Kingdom. "

Regarding Qin Ling, what he said was correct. Although Da Qin had long expected that Tibet would send troops to support it, it never expected that it would send a hundred thousand reinforcements.

You must know that the total military strength of Tubo is only more than 200,000. It is not cost-effective from any point of view to send half of the country's army for the sake of an outsider like the Sui State and offend the Qin Empire, the overlord of the princes.

 Great Qin has internally analyzed Songtsen Gampo and believed that this man was also a heroic leader of his generation, and he would definitely not do such a thankless thing. For the Sui State and Great Qin to fight to the death, even if they sent 30,000 to 40,000 troops, it would be a big deal.

According to normal logic, this is naturally the case, but what Great Qin did not expect was that Songtsen Gumbo was rejected for marrying him several times. He had deep resentment towards Great Qin, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level, so he was so unhappy. He spared no effort to support the Sui State.

This time Ying Hao can be regarded as giving Yang Guang an assist, but even if it happens again, he will still refuse Songtsan Gampo's marriage proposal.

If Tubo could fight as well as the Southern Barbarians, and if Songtsan Gampo had Chi You's ability and strength, Ying Hao would not mind marrying the princess of the clan.

 So, in the final analysis, Tubo was too weak and was not qualified to marry with Da Qin.

70,000 Sui troops, plus 100,000 Tubo troops, a total of 170,000 troops, can already break Meng Tian's layout. This is the main reason why Lun Qinling is eager to start a war.

Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong looked at Lun Qinling, who spoke fluent Chinese, wore Chinese-style armor, and had a resolute and masculine appearance. It was difficult to associate him with the barbaric and backward Tubo people, but he was a Tubo person.

Lun Qinling did not pay attention to the looks of Yang Xingmi and the two men, and said to himself: "This general believes that the key to this battle is to defeat them one by one and block the enemy's reinforcements..."

After some discussion, the three of them decided on the battle plan. Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong were responsible for blocking enemy reinforcements, while Lun Qinling was responsible for defeating them one by one.

 The specific plan is to lead 100,000 Tibetan troops from Qinling, and first concentrate their forces to eat up the Qin army in Huangyuan City.

Huangyuan City protects the western front of Xining. If the guard Yang Ren cannot defend it, Xining will be in danger.

As for Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong, they led 70,000 Sui troops and were responsible for intercepting Qin reinforcements from the direction of Xining.

If Meng Tian came to help, even if the entire Sui army was deployed and 70,000 Sui troops fought against 30,000 troops, the result would definitely be a win. Even if they didn't win, they wouldn't suffer a loss.

As for Anyuan City, it’s not that Qinling was omitted, but that the city is located on the east line of Xining, far away from Huangyuan City on the west line, and direct support will definitely be too late.

It was precisely after having a complete strategy that the Sui and Tu allied forces were so eager to fight the Qin army, and hit Meng Tian's weakness with one blow.

In order to deal with the three coalition forces, Meng Tian sent a large number of spies and found 100,000 Tibetan troops and 70,000 Sui troops. The troops came in two groups.

Meng Tian saw through the plan to discuss Qinling at a glance, but there was no way to solve it because it was a naked conspiracy. Meng Tian also had limited troops. Apart from the troops left behind in Xining, he could only lead an army of 25,000 to support him, but with this force alone, it would be difficult to defeat the 70,000 Sui troops.

Even if Meng Tian can win, the army will not have much energy left to support Yang Ren after a big battle, so sending troops directly is not feasible, but it is impossible to watch Yang Ren be eaten.

Meng Tian could not take care of both ends, so he could only send a message to Yang Ren, asking him to delay as much time as possible, and at the same time mobilize Fu Cunshen from Anyuan City to ask him to bring 20,000 reinforcements as soon as possible to support him.

Only after joining the Fu Cun Shenbu and bringing the strength of Meng Tian's troops to 45,000, could we be sure to rescue Yang Ren while ensuring his own safety, but before that, Yang Ren needed to persist until that day.

Yang Ren combines the advantages of Conferred God Yang Ren and Three Kingdoms Yang Ren. Not only does his own strength reach the level of God of War, but his commander attributes are also not low.

Yang Ren: Commander 93, Force 105, Intelligence 86, Politics 88, Charisma 90, Equipment: Lightning Gun, Yunxia Horse;

After receiving Meng Tian's message, Yang Ren immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Although his army was strong, it only had 25,000 people, while the Tibetan army that was about to kill had 100,000.

 Therefore, it is not advisable to sit back and wait for help, as it cannot be delayed for too long. Yang Ren needs to take the initiative and buy time through mobile warfare.

That day, Yang Ren ordered all 3,000 elite cavalry and 5,000 elite infantry under his command to leave the city, preparing to set a large number of traps on the march route of the Tibetan army to delay the advance of the Tibetan army. There was no chance of an ambush or sneak attack.

 Don't mention it, Yang Ren really found an opportunity.

Lun Zanpo, the son of Qin Ling, rushed forward greedily and led an army of 20,000 people away from the main force and marched directly into Huangyuan City. There was a suitable place to set up an ambush on the Huangyuan Road, which was his final route.

Zhang Ren made a prompt decision and prepared to ambush Lunzanpo on Huangyuan Road. However, before the battle began, Tu Xingsun heard through his snooping skills that there was another army behind Lunzanpo's army.

 Obviously, Lunzanpo was just a bait. He would break away from the main Tibetan force in order to lure Yang Ren into the trap.

After Yang Ren realized that he had been tricked, he immediately gave up the ambush and decisively withdrew his troops. However, Lunzan Po led his cavalry to pursue him. The Qin army was entangled by her and could not retreat, so she had to fight with her.

Yang Ren was ready for a hard fight. After all, the army formations were not set up yet, but he did not expect that the fighting power of the Tubo army was weaker than he thought. The 8,000 Qin army easily overwhelmed the 10,000 Tubo army.

The two sides fought fiercely for only an hour, and the Tubo army could no longer hold on. If Lun Qinling had not arrived in time with 10,000 reinforcements, these 10,000 Tubo troops would have been defeated by the 8,000 Qin army.

After Lun Qinling led his army to arrive, the morale of these 10,000 Tubo troops was high, which was completely different from the mental outlook of Lun Zanpo's troops. They were obviously the elite of the Tibetan army, but their overall combat power was still inferior to that of the Qin regular army.

Since the Qin army had gained the advantage before and firmly controlled important positions on the battlefield, the 20,000 Tibetan troops formed a semi-encirclement of the Qin army, and it was still difficult to defeat the 8,000 Qin troops in front of them.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the Qin army general Wu Ji arrived with 5,000 reinforcements, and the Tubo general Lun Gongren also arrived with 10,000 reinforcements.

Lun Qinling saw that the Qin army's fighting power was so strong. Eight thousand men were fighting against his own 20,000 men. Now that there were five thousand more, he was afraid that he would suffer losses if he continued to fight, so he decisively ordered the troops to retreat.

Yang Ren naturally gave up when he saw the opportunity. After all, if he tried hard to consume, his small number of people could not consume the Tubo army anyway, so he also chose to pay gold.

In this battle, the Qin army lost 1,500 people and the Tubo army lost 2,500 people.

The Qin army faced 20,000 Tibetan troops against an army of 8,000. The total number of Tubo troops was almost three times that of the Qin army, but the number of casualties was a thousand more than the Qin army.

From this it can be seen that what Li Mu said is not wrong. Although the three coalition forces are large in number, their combat effectiveness is not strong.

The Tubo Army was originally full of confidence before going on the expedition. After all, after undergoing internal unification and military restructuring, the Tubo Army was much stronger than before, and they felt that even the Qin Army was no match for them.

 But after the battle with the Qin army, they realized the difference. Before, they were just sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Even Lun Qinling felt frightened for a while, but quickly recovered. After all, although the overall combat strength of the army was weaker than that of the Qin army, the 30,000 elites he carefully trained were not much worse than the Qin army, and The battle has just begun, and the outcome is still unknown.

Although Yang Ren's ambush plan failed, through this battle, he roughly understood the depth of the Tubo army. To be honest, it was weaker than Ding expected. If it was just like this, he was absolutely sure that he could hold on until Meng Tian arrived.

 That night, Yang Ren personally led a hundred cavalry to launch a night attack on the left camp of the Tibetan army.

Although Dayan Mangbuzhi, the general of Zuoying, had been prepared for the night attack, he did not expect that the Qin army only came with a hundred people, and it was not for the purpose of killing, but only for charging and fire prevention, so he was completely unable to guard against it.

Dayan Mangbuzhi issued orders one after another, wanting to encircle and kill Yang Ren in the camp. However, in the huge Tubo camp, a hundred cavalry were like a drop in the ocean. In addition, the Qin army was highly mobile, so it was difficult to determine who it was. host.

After Yang Ren stirred up chaos in Zuoying, he launched an attack on Dayan Mangbuzhi's tent. If Lun Qinling had not rescued him in time, Dayan Mangbuzhi might have died in the night attack.

In the end, when Yang Ren retreated, there were still 71 Baiqi people left. Only 29 people died in the night attack, but it caused nearly a thousand casualties to the Tibetan army, and the chaos caused made He rested in place for a day.

With these two battles alone, Lun Qinling was full of vigilance. Knowing that the Tibetan army marched to Huangyuan City, he never gave Yang Ren any chance.

Just when Yang Ren and Lun Qinling started fighting in Huangyuan City, the war in the Western Regions changed again.

Following the initial battle with Gao Jie, the coalition forces of the Yang, Li, and Ji families led by Yang Shuang once again defeated the coalition forces of the Western Regions countries, beheading 20,000 people and capturing 30,000 prisoners, which also further weakened the strength of the Western Region coalition forces.
