Chapter 1120 Strategy to Destroy the Rong

Baltu's fighting spirit is very high, and what he said is indeed worthy of consideration in terms of war.

When two sides are fighting, you have to win in order to have the right to speak and take the initiative. This is an eternal truth.

But what they didn't know was that Qin Wang Xiao Yuan had no intention of negotiating a peace war with them this time, but wanted to completely eliminate Xirong's troubles.

There were differences among the senior generals of Bai Rong. King Xirong thought for a long time and decided to adopt Baltu's opinion.

The entire Xirong is controlled by Bai Rong, with a military strength of about 130,000. Other Rongs, such as the Di, Qiang and other ethnic groups, also have some armed forces, about 60,000 to 70,000. In other words, the total number of troops that the King of Xirong can mobilize on the surface is

The strength is 200,000.

Seeing his decision, Zhekang wanted to say something else, but King Xirong had already begun to issue orders.

With Baltu as the chief general, he led an army of 100,000 to support Heishi. At the same time, he ordered the Di and Qiang to send troops to destroy the Qin army in Quanqiu.

Baltu accepted the order excitedly, but as soon as the discussion was over and he left the hall, Zhekang hurriedly caught up with him, pulled his sleeves, and said with worry on his face: "It is not wise for you to insist on the main battle. Now

The Qin army is no longer the Qin people your father said! The Qin King Xiao Yuan is a tiger and wolf king. Once defeated, the country will be in danger of subjugation!"

"Get out of here! This general will not associate with cowards!" Baltu pushed his arm and strode away.

Oops! Looking at his back, Zhe Kang screamed in his heart. He understood deeply that when he led Gule and was defeated by Qingshan, the Qin army at that time was already extremely powerful. Today, the King of Qin attacked and destroyed the princes of the Central Plains.

, it will only be more terrifying!

But he had a stain on his military career. As soon as he sued for peace, he would be said to be afraid of being beaten by the Qin army. The King of Xirong would not listen to him at all, and there was nothing he could do.

Zhekang believed that there was a huge difference in military power between the two sides and that there was no way to fight, but Baltu was full of confidence. After receiving the order, he immediately gathered his army and began to march towards Black Rock City.

At the same time, Qin Guan.

One hundred thousand soldiers from the Qinzhou camp have arrived here, including 80,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry.

At the meeting place, Xiao Yuan had received Yang Heng's battle report and was discussing the next step of using troops with the generals.

He directly ignored the Blackstone massacre and said: "Blackstone City has been occupied by our army. With Yang Heng's troops, there should be no problem in holding it for a period of time. However, Xirong's military intelligence is not as good as our army. It can be concluded that they are now

We still don’t know how many troops we have used in total.”

In other words, the 100,000 main force has not yet joined the battlefield, so the Xirong side cannot detect it, and they cannot approach the Qin Pass.

"What do you mean, your Majesty?" A general asked tentatively.

"It depends on General Lin Chu." As he spoke, Xiao Yuan also looked at the latter.

Lin Chu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will find out the movements of Xirong's main force as soon as possible."

Xiao Yuan nodded, and then made arrangements: "General Su Yi, lead 30,000 troops, and go north first. If Wang He's troops are in danger, assist in the rescue, and join forces when necessary. If there is no obstruction, choose the opportunity to act."

"No!" The latter accepted the order with his fists clasped.

Xiao Yuan continued: "My main force of 70,000 will support the Black Stone side and be ready to go up and around at any time."

This is to fight in multiple theaters. The main force of our own side is mainly responsible for encircling and suppressing the main force of Xirong. Wang He's force is used to contain and confuse, and Su Yi intersperses the battlefield.

At this point, Shangguan Wenruo stood up, bowed his hands and saluted: "In the battle against Xirong, the king's strategic arrangements are all the best, but I think that to destroy his country, we only need to destroy the armed forces of the king of Xirong.

There is absolutely no need to kill all the people of Xirong."

Before Xiao Yuan could speak, Su Yi was already dissatisfied and said: "Sir Shangguan, what are you talking about? The Xirong have always invaded the country, and their hatred towards Qin cannot be resolved. Only by killing them all can foreign invasion be completely eliminated."

"The general's words are wrong." Shangguan Wenruo said: "Although the Xirong population only has a population of more than two million, they are brave and courageous. If they are killed and there is no way to survive, they will all join the army."

"Although our country is not afraid, hundreds of thousands of troops will inevitably be used by then. More importantly, the horse-producing land cannot be abandoned."

After that, he added: "The people inside Xirong who are fighting with the Central Plains are just the Bai Rong lineage of King Xirong, such as the Di, Qiang and other tribes. They advocate peace and can be appeased."

"I dare to assert that when the king completely eliminates the Bai Rong clan, the Di and Qiang tribes will bow down and become his vassals without sending envoys. At that time, with our cultural heritage in the Central Plains, we can integrate them and make the Xirong region truly become our territory.

.”

In short, Chinese.

His suggestion is actually very good.

However, Su Yi snorted and said with some opinions: "Hmph, every time Sir Shangguan joins the army, he always advises the king on the benevolence of women. It is really ridiculous."

"How can this be the benevolence of a woman?" Shangguan Wenruo argued: "Even if our army kills them all, our own national strength and military strength will be severely damaged. If they are burned and killed, wouldn't it be a huge Xirong territory?

It’s no man’s land.”

A commander and a counselor started to argue, and all the generals stared at each other, not daring to interrupt easily.

From a political perspective, blindly suppressing by force is not as good as stabilizing and recovering.

Eliminating the Bai Rong lineage is equivalent to annihilating the Xirong Kingdom. There is indeed no need to kill all the other tribal people. Letting them continue to herd sheep and horses and gradually integrate into semi-agriculture is the best strategy.

Xiao Yuan was dressed in black brocade clothes, with jade hair tied in a hairpin. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After thinking for a long time, he decided to adopt Shangguan Wenruo's opinion and said: "Order Wang He to burn the plain east of Quanqiu to isolate the Di and Qiang.

It is possible for the people of the tribe to herd horses and sheep in the Bairong area."

Nomadic people do not settle down for farming. Their people move around from time to time, and the burning of grasslands is also a relatively heavy blow to them.

Once the cattle, sheep and horses run out of fodder, their strength will be greatly reduced.

Next, Xiao Yuan and his generals focused on analyzing the military strategy to eliminate Xirong.

It points out that the biggest characteristic of the Xirong army's operations is that it is highly flexible and maneuverable. They mostly use blitzes and give full play to the advantages of the cavalry. Just like in the past when they invaded border areas, if they won, they would burn, kill and loot. If they failed, they would immediately flee.

Their weaknesses are also obvious and their endurance is poor. Their equipment and weapons are not as good as those of the Central Plains Dynasty, which results in their army's ability to attack and defend cities being very low. We should seize this feature and develop targeted positions in the field.
