Chapter 2753 The decisive battle at Buffalo Mountain II, 85,000 VS 200,000

Chapter 2749: Decisive Battle at Buffalo Mountain II, 85,000 VS 200,000

When Li Jing led his army to reach Buffalo Mountain, it was already the third day after the **** battle between Meng Tian and the coalition forces on the fifth day.

In the **** battle on the fifth day, due to the timely arrival of Fu Cunxuan, Meng Tian escaped the disaster, but he also lost nearly 4,000 troops, and the number of troops in his hand was reduced to 20,000.

 In fact, compared to the previous two battles, the battle on the fifth day was generally not too intense.

Yang Xingmi saw that Fu Cunjian was leading the reinforcements, and knew that even if the entire army attacked, they would not be able to defeat Meng Tian, ​​so he simply chose to withdraw his troops, preparing to find out the strength of the Qin army before making targeted arrangements.

Yang Xingmi's approach of seeking stability was not wrong, but he never expected that Lun Qinling would be defeated so completely at the Huangyuan Taoist Association, and he missed the last possible chance to defeat Meng Tian.

Regarding Qin Ling's defeat in Huangyuan too quickly, Li Jing defeated three villages in Huangyuan, captured Huangyuan City lightly, and arrived at Yiniu Mountain in only three days.

This process was so fast that Yang Xingmi had no time to prepare and could not even take care of Meng Tian. He had to devote all his energy to dealing with the upcoming Li Jing.

 In fact, Yang Xingmi also considered whether to deal with Meng Tian and Fu Cun before Li Jing arrived. But if it was that easy, the coalition forces would not have fought fiercely for five consecutive days.

 After five days of **** fighting, the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties, suffered serious losses of elite troops, and their morale was greatly affected.

If they still stop fighting and rest to restore their physical strength and morale, regardless of whether the coalition forces can deal with Meng Tian and Fu Cunshen before Li Jing arrives, even if they can, they will probably end up hurting both sides and then face the prime minister. Li Jing's 50,000 elite soldiers are really looking for death.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Xingmi did not continue the war, but rested and recovered on the spot while waiting for reinforcements from the rear.

Seeing this, Meng Tian and Fu Cunzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in just five days of **** battle, the pre-war 41,000 Qin army had been reduced to 20,000, and a total of 22,000 people were lost. , the battle damage rate reached an astonishing 53.6%.

Only the Qin army could withstand such staggering battle losses. If it were the armies of other countries, they would have been completely defeated long ago.

After Meng Tian and Fu Cunshen reunited, their strength was restored to 40,000, but the remaining 20,000 Qin troops were almost all wounded, and they were exhausted after five consecutive days of **** battles. I am afraid they will not be able to hold on if they continue to fight. how long.

Therefore, if Yang Xingmi does not attack, Meng Tian will naturally be happy to see the success.

After learning the specific situation, Li Jing selected 5,000 seriously injured soldiers and sent them back to the rear to recuperate. He only led 50,000 reinforcements and a repaired 35,000 troops, for a total of 85,000 troops, to face the Sui Dynasty. Tuqiang 200,000 coalition troops.

Although Li Jing was sure of winning this battle, with the morale of the coalition forces so low, there were still cheers from the camp yesterday. It was hard for him not to think too much based on his level of caution.

 Li Jing summoned Meng Tian, ​​Fu Cunshen, Li Mu and other generals overnight to discuss and analyze the incident. Why did the coalition cheer? If the coalition really has other trump cards, what would they be? How should we respond?

Regarding Li Jing's move, many generals in the Qin army felt that Li Jing's reaction was a bit excessive. After all, there were many reasons for the coalition's cheers.

 It may be because reinforcements are coming, or it may be that Yang Xingmi promised some rewards, which may make the enemy cheer.

It would be a bit too much if the Qin army had to analyze various possibilities and be prepared to deal with it just because the coalition troops were cheering.

People who think this way are basically eager for a decisive battle. After all, the five-day **** battle was so difficult, and the Qin army also suffered such heavy casualties. It was hard to hold on until the reinforcements arrived. Naturally, they couldn't wait to seek revenge from the coalition forces, so I don't want other things to affect the final battle.

 But Li Jing also denied all their views one by one.

The first thing is the reinforcements. Before the Qin army's reinforcements arrived, the coalition forces had already arrived several batches of Qiang army reinforcements, but none of them cheered.

Secondly, there is the reward. Yang Xingmi had promised it several times before the war. Now that he is completely at a disadvantage, using rewards and inducements will obviously not have much effect.

“War is about preventing all adverse factors. How can we win the war if we are afraid of trouble?”

As soon as Li Jing said this, all those who thought he was making a fuss shut up. They were just eager to fight, not to challenge Li Jing's authority.

Li Jing's prestige among the Yongliang army was already the highest. In addition, in the recent Huangyuan Road battle, 3,000 Flying Bear troops easily defeated 30,000 Tubo troops. Such a record is really convincing. Naturally, No one dared to disobey him.

“But Governor, if these reasons are not the case, assuming the coalition forces really have a trump card that can turn defeat into victory, what could it be? Reinforcements or something else?” Li Mu said.

As soon as these words came out, all the generals present also fell into deep thought, but they all felt that it could not be reinforcements, because 50,000 Qiang reinforcements had already arrived, and even if the coalition had other reinforcements, they would not be able to reach the battlefield in the short term.

But if not reinforcements, what could give the coalition the confidence to turn defeat into victory?

Li Jing's eyes swept over the map, thinking about various possibilities in his mind, but he ruled them out one by one. After all, under the current situation, if the coalition wanted to turn defeat into victory, in addition to working **** the strength of the troops, they could only play tricks on the generals. .

 However, the war has reached this stage, and the generals of both sides have been revealed. It is impossible to hide them. After all, if there are strong generals, they must have been sent out long ago.

 It is impossible in terms of military strength, and although the possibility in terms of generals is not great, it is the last possibility.

If the coalition forces really have a stronger general than Xiao Moke, they will indeed be able to catch the Qin army off guard, so Li Jing will naturally have to prepare in advance.

“General Yang Ren, how is your recovery from your injury?” Li Jing asked.

“I’ve reported to the Governor, he’s almost healed. If he rests for another two days, it won’t have much impact,” Yang Ren replied.

Although Yang Ren was defeated by Yelu Deguang on the first day of the **** battle and even almost died in the battle, he was more exhausted and looked miserable. The overall injuries were not too serious.

 After seven days of treatment and cultivation, Yang Ren has returned to 70% to 80% of his prime, and can continue to fight on the battlefield.

“Although the coalition’s trump card is unknown, we should not be careless. Therefore, in the battle tomorrow, General Yang Ren will lead the front army as the vanguard. In addition, the governor will also send two generals, Long Xuhu and Xin Wenli, to assist you.”

Yang Ren felt that he and Long Xuhu were enough. If Xin Wenli was also sent over, it would weaken the strength of the other ministries. After all, Xin Wenli's combat power was not weak.

In fact, according to common sense, it is enough to have Yang Ren in the vanguard army. After all, Xiao Moke was seriously injured and no one in the enemy army was Yang Ren's opponent, so there was no need to concentrate so many generals in Together.

However, since Li Jing insisted on doing this and concentrated all three fierce generals in the front army, Yang Ren would naturally not object, and who would dislike having a few strong generals.

 After finalizing the preparations, Li Jing also made the following arrangements for the decisive battle:

Yang Ren led an army of 10,000 as the vanguard.

Wang Zhongsi led an army of 15,000 as the right wing. Li Mu led 15,000 troops on the left wing.

Li Jing and Meng Tian, ​​the two major governors, as well as Fu Cunshen, led an army of 45,000 as the central army.

 Among the four divisions of the Qin army, one of the generals was extremely disobedient, and that was Wang Zhongsi. Logically speaking, he was not qualified to serve as the chief general of an army.

 But during the five-day **** battle, Wang Zhongsi's performance was simply amazing. He did not fall behind in the face of an enemy force that was four to five times, or even six or seven times more than his own.

To put it bluntly, without Wang Zhongsi, Meng Tian might not have been able to hold on until Li Jing arrived.

 That’s why Li Jing continued to let Wang Zhongsi lead the army and replenished his troops. He even added 9,000 troops to allow Wang Zhongsi to participate in the battle as the leader of the army.

After another two days of repairs, Li Jingmengtian led an army of 85,000 and took the initiative to attack the Sui, Tuqiang and other coalition forces, while Yang Xingmi was forced to lead an army of 200,000 to fight.

Why didn't Yang Xingmi defend the stronghold?

 First, Yiniu Mountain Dazhai does not have many geographical advantages.

 Second, the Qin army's siege equipment was extremely sharp, and it was difficult to defend the city with Dazhai alone.

Third, the Qin army came to attack with 85,000 troops, while the coalition forces had 200,000 troops. This was twice the enemy's strength advantage. If they still did not dare to fight, it would be tantamount to giving in. The coalition forces The already low morale will also be even lower, which is tantamount to slow suicide.

 So, it was not that Yang Xingmi wanted to fight, but that he had to fight.

Among the vanguard of the coalition forces, Yelv Zhiwu pointed in the direction of the Qin army and said: "Mr. Spartacus, have you seen the general in silver armor at the front of the Qin army? He is currently the most senior general in the Qin army. The strong general Yang Ren, your mission here is to defeat him, preferably by killing him."

Although Spartacus has demonstrated near-invincible combat power, Yang Ren's performance in severely injuring Xiao Moke, the Qiang army's number one general, with one blow was also impressive, so Yelu Zhiwu didn't think that he even had the ability to escape.

After Yelu Zhiwu finished speaking, he received no response for a long time. After looking over, he found that Spartacus was looking at the Qin army's formation in a daze.

Spartacus had previously felt that compared to the Roman army, the Qiang army's equipment was already very sophisticated, and the Sui army was even more luxurious, but when he saw the Qin army, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. what.

Not to mention other weapons and equipment, in terms of armor alone, all members of the Qin army were wearing armor, and the iron armor accounted for more than 50%.

This is not a war, it's just throwing money at people.

Now Spartacus somewhat understands why the coalition army has an absolute strength advantage of 200,000 people, but is still not sure of defeating the 890,000 Qin army. The equipment gap between the two sides is indeed quite large.

 In the past, when 180,000 troops fought against 40,000 troops, the equipment advantage was not obvious because the gap in troops was too huge.

But now if 200,000 people fight 80,000 or 90,000 people, in such a large-scale battle, the equipment advantage of the Qin Army is suddenly revealed, not to mention that the morale of the Qin Army is much higher than that of the coalition forces.

Spartacus could almost guess that if he could not defeat the powerful generals of the Qin army and open up the situation to suppress the morale of the Qin army, then the coalition forces would only lose this battle.

At this point, Spartacus also felt great pressure, but in order to repay the favor of saving his life and rescue his wife Mira, he could only be forced to become an enemy of the Qin army.

 “Master Xuanzang, I’m sorry.” Spartacus thought to himself.

“Is that Yang Ren? Don’t worry, I remember him.”

Just by looking at him, Spartacus could tell that Yang Ren was very strong, but after all, he was still too young, and there was still a big gap between him and himself.

On the other side, Li Jing saw that Yang Xingmi was indeed fighting, and wanted to test Yang Xingmi with a group of generals first.

But even before Li Jing sent his generals to challenge, the coalition forces couldn't wait to go out to fight. There was not even any temptation, and all the 200,000 troops were pressed directly.

"There is indeed a problem. Yang Xingmi started the war in such a hurry. He must be trying to cover up something. He sent an order to Yang Ren's front army to be careful."

Li Jing said with a serious face, and then waved the flag decisively, and all 85,000 Qin troops attacked.

Originally, Li Jing wanted to show off his command, but he didn't expect that Yang Xingmi ordered the twenty-strong coalition army to directly attack, so the Qin army could no longer hide it.
