Yuanmeng's army also occupied five cities in Ningxia, and as the main force of the Qin army was transferred to Ningxia, most of Yuanmeng's main force was also placed in Ningxia.
Therefore, today's ten cities in Ningxia can be said to be full of armies, ready to explode.
Although the Qin, Jin and Yuan Meng armies gathered a large number of troops in Ningxia, both sides maintained a very tacit restraint and rarely conducted military operations involving more than 30,000 people.
Neither the Qin, Jin, or the fierce Yuan and Meng armies were fully prepared for a decisive battle. If too many troops were dispatched rashly, it would easily develop into a final decisive battle, so both sides were so restrained.
In such an unprepared environment, Murong Ke suddenly provoked a war this time and dispatched 70,000 cavalry at once. It was obviously a well-thought-out military action, and its real intention was also somewhat intriguing.
The generals of Qin and Jin who received the news discussed Murong Ke's intention one after another, and the conclusions they reached were also divided. Anyway, everyone had their own reasons.
"not good."
Just when the generals were arguing with each other, Zhuge Liang suddenly screamed, and then quickly walked to the sand table and looked at it for a while, then said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Murong Ke's real purpose is to block the passage between Hetao and Bingzhou.
, a hundred thousand troops holding the camp on the eastern front."
Qin Hao also looked at the sand table, frowned and asked: "How come you can see it? There are quite a lot of troops on the eastern front."
"Although there are many defenders at the junction of Hetao and Bingzhou, they are the weakest link in our defense line."
The 100,000-strong garrison at the junction of Hetao and Bingzhou was led by Qin Liangyu, She Saihua, and Meng Tian. The 100,000-strong army was all composed of reserve troops and former Yellow Turban prisoners of war.
Although this 100,000-strong army is a newly built army, most of the people in the army are veterans who have seen blood. In addition, they are equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, so they have a certain degree of combat effectiveness. The overall combat effectiveness is less than that of the main army.
Weak line.
One hundred thousand defenders is not a small number. If this army is in the hands of Li Jing, Temujin may not be able to break Yinshan City even if he has an army of two hundred thousand.
In Qin Liangyu's hands, although its effect is limited, it is more than enough to guard the main artery.
But Zhuge Liang said that the defense line built by these 100,000 troops was the weakest link in the Hetao defense line. The reason was also very simple:
1. The rest of the defense lines have cities to defend. Only Qin Liangyu's 100,000 troops can only rely on Dazhai for defense, and the defense capabilities of Dazhai and the city are different.
2. The formation of cavalry was not a one-time achievement, and the cavalry from the Qin and Jin armies were all concentrated in the Ningxia Army. Therefore, the newly-established army was extremely short of cavalry. Although there were ways to fight against the cavalry, there was no way to check and balance the cavalry.
In summary, Qin Liangyu has an army of 100,000 people, but he can only passively take a beating against the cavalry. If any loopholes in the defense are discovered again, the army of 100,000 people may even be directly overwhelmed.
"Before, our army had a strength advantage. If Yuanmeng wanted to attack the Eastern Route Army, the cavalry from Ningxia would be able to support it immediately. Murong Ke also knew this, so he never took the initiative to provoke the Eastern Route Army.
But things are different now. After Yuanmeng increases his troops again, even if he divides his troops into 70,000, the remaining troops will be enough to contain the main force of our army. And if the 70,000 cavalry are used well, they can already defeat the defenders on the Eastern Front in one battle.
."
Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Qin Hao couldn't help but look solemn and said seriously: "Where does Murong Ke get such confidence? How can he be sure that this division of troops will be able to break through the defenses on the eastern front?"
After Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, he slowly said: "Maybe Murong Ke discovered a loophole in the defense on the eastern front."
Qin Hao couldn't help but be startled. After thinking about it carefully, he found that Zhuge Liang's analysis was very reasonable.
Although there are many troops on the eastern front, the defense line is not strong. Only cooperation with Ningxia can ensure that the defense line is unbreakable.
In addition, although Meng Tian, the commander of 100 troops, is present on the Eastern Front, the commander is Qin Liangyu. As Qin Hao's sister, Qin Liangyu, who is leading the army alone for the first time, must want to show off, so she will not necessarily listen to Meng Tian's advice.
.
Although Qin Liangyu's commander attribute is 93, in the face of such a million-level battle, a commander with 93 points will be unable to hold up, and it is extremely normal for loopholes in the layout to appear.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. If this was not handled well and the response was not timely, the Eastern Front Army would probably face the risk of being defeated on the front line. After all, the military strength gap between Yuan Meng and Yuan Meng would widen again.
Big.
"The 100,000 troops on the eastern front are related to the safety of the entire Bingzhou. No mistakes are allowed, so this time I decided to personally lead 30,000 elite cavalry to rescue."
The reason why Qin Hao went there in person was not just to rescue, but to fundamentally solve the problems on the Eastern Front. After all, he could save once, but he might not be able to save the second or third time, fundamentally solving the defensive loopholes on the Eastern Front.
most important thing.
In fact, the fundamental problem of the 100,000-strong army on the Eastern Front mainly lies in the commander-in-chief Qin Liangyu. Although her commanding and commanding abilities are not weak, they are somewhat inadequate when facing Murong Ke.
If Qin Liangyu could treat Meng Tian the way Yang Liulang treated Li Jing, then the defense on the Eastern Front would be absolutely impregnable. But Qin Liangyu, who is strong, wants to prove himself, and problems will inevitably arise on the Eastern Front defense.
After all, Qin Liangyu is Qin Hao's sister and Qin Wen's professed general, so Qin Hao must go in person to remove Qin Liangyu's military power and promote Meng Tian to be the general of the Eastern Front Army, so that the problems on the Eastern Front can be solved once and for all.
Saying that, Qin Hao looked at Wang Meng and said in a deep voice: "Since Murong Ke dares to divide his troops to attack the eastern front, he must have other back-up moves.
Commander Wang Meng, after I leave, it will be up to you to control the overall situation in Ningxia. All the troops and generals of the Qin and Jin armies are under your command, and you must not give Murong Ke any opportunity to take advantage of him."
"No." Wang Meng responded firmly.
In this way, Qin Hao personally led an army of 30,000 elite cavalry to leave Ningxia, and the following generals included: Jiang Song, Gao Chong, Zhao Yun, Huo Qubing, Bai Qi, Ran Min and other super generals were left by Qin Hao
It’s Wang Meng.
As soon as Qin Hao left, Wang Meng also made arrangements. He ordered Ran Min, Jia Fu, Yuwen Chengdu, and Huang Zhong to guard the other four cities in Ningxia. He, Bai Qi, and other military advisors were stationed in Ningxia City.
Qin Hao's reaction speed was fast enough, but Murong Ke's attack speed was even faster.
After dividing 70,000 troops to attack the eastern front, Murong Ke waited quietly for Qin Hao's response. As soon as Qin Hao's reinforcements left Ningxia, he immediately launched the next action.
For a time, the situation in Ningxia County was turbulent, and the situation was extremely critical, and there was a strong tendency for a decisive battle to break out.
