This time, Yuwen Chengdu came to fight Jiang Song, Ran, Min Gao, and the three super generals with a certain death intention.
However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Under the attack of Ran Min and Gao Chong, Yuwen Chengdu was knocked down by Jiang Song's weapon in less than five rounds. He was captured alive without even being able to commit suicide.
In this way, Yuwen Chengdu became the first super general to be captured alive so far, which was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the proud man.
The war came to an end soon.
Although the remaining 3,000 Liang troops have become a mourning army, they have been without food for ten days.
The Liang army was hungry and exhausted, and it was difficult to even wield their weapons. How could they possibly resist the 60,000-strong Qin army that was gathering strength and strength?
The Qin army launched only one charge, and the Liang army was completely defeated. The three thousand Ai soldiers fell to their deaths without even causing double-digit casualties to the Qin army.
"Grand Governor, our army has a total of eight casualties, and nine of the Liang troops were killed." "The coalition forces of the Southern princes are weak and destined to be no match for our army. The reunification of Sizhou is finally just around the corner."
From this moment on, Qin Hao had no opponent in Sizhou, so he was naturally happy and excited.
"My lord, before sending troops against Wang Mang, we should first consolidate the defense on the western front."
Bai Qi stood up and said in a deep voice: "Although Zhou Yu has not asked for help so far, it must be time for his troops to be exhausted."
Qin Hao's eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said: "What the Governor said is true. In this case, I ordered Pei Yuanqing and Xu Chu to lead an army of five thousand to support the Hangu pass guard."
"Five thousand?"
Bai Qi was stunned, and then asked with some confusion: "My lord, are you sure? There are still 70,000 Liang troops outside Hangu Pass."
"Of course." Qin Hao smiled lightly.
Bai Qi saw that Qin Hao had no intention of explaining, so he was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. It can be said that he showed his duty as a minister incisively and vividly.
Bai Qi didn't know about the alliance between Qin Hao and the Guanzhong forces, and Qin Hao would not take the initiative to tell Bai Qi that he and Li Shimin teamed up to plot Yang Jian's plan.
The reason why Qin Hao sent only 5,000 troops to Hangu Pass was naturally to cooperate with Li Shimin in Chang'an and deliberately create an illusion that the Qin army was insufficient in strength, so as to make Yang Guang firm in his determination to attack Hangu Pass.
With Yang Lin's entire army annihilated, Yang Guang would definitely lead his army back to Chang'an if there was no hope of breaking through.
Once Yang Guang's 70,000-strong army returned to Chang'an, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for Li Shimin if such a huge force were to take orders from Yang Jian, and there would be no possibility of overthrowing Yang Jian.
What Qin Hao needs is a Liang army that is constantly fighting among themselves, so whether he is willing or not, he must help Li Shimin hold off Yang Guang as much as possible, and only if Yang Guang sees hope of breaking through Hangu Pass, will he continue
Lead the army until they attack Hangu Pass.
"The only remaining opponents are the coalition forces of the southern princes."
After Qin Hao looked around at the generals, he said in a deep voice: "After the coalition forces of the southern princes went south to Sizhou, they not only quickly expanded their army to 150,000, but also dispatched 130,000 troops at once to compete with our army for territory, and our army also
The troops divided into two groups and went to fight.
In Hanoi, Wang Mang's 90,000-strong army faced Su Lie's 30,000-strong army;
Although the strength of the two armies of our army was much smaller than that of the enemy, they both achieved great results and defeated many of the enemy's main forces.
Su Lie defeated Wang Mang's 50,000-strong army in the Battle of Chaoge. Although the battle between Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi resulted in victory and defeat for each other, the overall casualties were far inferior to those of the enemy.
So far, the combined forces of the southern princes have lost more than 50,000 troops, while our army has only lost just over 10,000 troops.
After Wang Mang forcibly expanded his army again, although it recovered to 130,000, the combat power of the coalition was further weakened.
But after our army completely solved the Yang Lin problem and divided its troops to support Hangu Pass, we still had an additional 65,000 troops."
When Qin Hao said this, all the generals showed excitement, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the next war should be over soon.
"Now I will announce the next strategic arrangement..."
As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, a soldier broke in, shouting as he ran: "Report... to inform my lord, there is a message from a flying pigeon in Hetao."
The soldier handed over the cloth with writing on it. After seeing it, Qin Hao's expression suddenly changed and he showed a look of disbelief.
All the generals were extremely surprised when they saw this. What kind of information could make the Lord show such an expression?
"Lord, what happened?" Bai Qi asked with a frown.
Qin Hao sighed and sat down, and then handed the cloth to Bai Qi. Bai Qi's eyes widened after seeing it.
I saw it read: Zhenbeiguan fell, and the governor Yang Ye died in the battle.
