…
According to statistics, the 'Battle of the Hetao' lasted a total of one and a half years, with 116 battles, 230,000 enemies killed, 320,000 prisoners captured, and 290,000 casualties. After deducting losses, the total reward was 2,500 summoning points. The host currently has a total of
Has 7580 summoning points.】
The Battle of Hetao once again broke the record of the longest and largest battle that Qin Hao has personally experienced since he joined the army, and this battle was definitely the most brutal battle.
When the Battle of Hetao just started, Qin Hao had not even unified Sizhou;
While the Battle of Hetao was going on, Qin Hao not only unified Sizhou and carried out a campaign to exterminate Buddhism, but also forced Zhao Kuangyin to conquer Yuzhou, conquered the four counties of Bingnan, and connected Bingzhou and Jingbei.
strategic goals.
Before the war, Qin Hao's children were still born, but after the war Qin Ying was able to run around and call people.
It can be seen from this that how long the Battle of Hetao lasted was much longer than the Battle of Dong, which lasted nearly a year and a half.
Before the war, the Yuan-Meng Empire had a total of 600,000 cavalry. In order to completely defeat the Jin army, Temujin directly used two-thirds of the country's troops, which was 400,000 cavalry.
Under the torrent of 400,000 cavalry, the Jin army, with a total strength of only 150,000, was once beaten so hard that it could not hold its head up. Even the governor Yang Ye had to sacrifice his life to plot, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own son Yang Silang.
Under the invasion of foreign enemies and the threat of national subjugation and annihilation, the Jin army and the people under their leadership broke out with amazing resistance, the unity of the army and the people, and the will of the people, which shocked the world and the princes of the world.
If an army of 200,000 is not enough? Then expand the army to 300,000;
Three hundred thousand is not enough? Then expand the army to four hundred thousand;
…
Relying only on the two bitter cold places of Hetao and Bingzhou, the Jin army armed 220,000 regular troops and 200,000 militiamen, a total of 420,000 soldiers and civilians, to deal with the 400,000 wolf-like and tiger-like anti-foreign cavalry.
.
Of course, these emergency armed troops alone cannot compete with the well-trained main force of Yuan and Mongolia. However, the soldiers and civilians of Hetao adopted the most heroic method of warfare:
People's War.
Who said the Han people are lambs?
Who said that without the army, the Han people would have no choice but to be slaughtered by others?
The people of Hetao used practical actions to tell the people of Yuanmeng that the people are not lambs and will never be bullied or slaughtered by you!
Under the desperate obstruction of countless Hetao soldiers and civilians, the Yuan and Mongolian armies had to attack the city with all their strength wherever they arrived, and the casualties were extremely heavy every time they broke into a city, and they gradually fell into the vast ocean of people's war.
Forced by these huge casualties, even Yuan Emperor Temujin had to adjust his strategy and issued two clear instructions:
1. Do not massacre the city wantonly;
2. Do not bully, beat or scold the people in the city at will;
The soldiers and civilians of the Hetao forged the Great Wall with flesh and blood, giving the Jin army a chance to protect and breathe. Until Qin Hao and Bai Qi led 40,000 fine cavalry and 110,000 Qin and Ming coalition forces respectively into the Hetao, the Han army was passively beaten in the Hetao.
Only then did a reversal occur.
Temujin saw that the bone in Hetao was so hard that even an army of 400,000 could not chew it down, so he ordered 200,000 domestic troops to be recruited while continuing to recruit 100,000 main troops from home.
In order to solve the problem of casualties during the siege, Temujin did not hesitate to liberate domestic slaves and organize them into an army, and successively formed an army of 150,000 slaves.
At this point, Temujin's military strength in order to seize the Hetao reached its peak, with nearly 650,000 troops, while the peak strength of the Han army reached 580,000.
This was an unprecedented battle involving more than one million troops. The two sides fought over more than 1,300 miles of land in three and thirty counties of Hetao. Their heads were bloody, blood was flowing on the oars, and corpses were strewn across the fields.
This is a war destined to have no winner.
In the end, although the Qin, Jin and Ming coalition forces won the battle, they suffered 1,000 casualties to the enemy and 180 losses to themselves. The militiamen suffered nearly 190,000 casualties, while the regular army suffered nearly 100,000 casualties.
Before the war, the three counties of Hetao had a population of nearly 1.4 million, but after the war, only nearly 700,000 remained.
The Hetao, which took the entire Bingzhou and Jin army efforts to build, was directly reduced to a sieve after this battle, and was about to be completely destroyed.
In addition, the grain storage piled up in Bingzhou and Hetao grain depots, which is enough to support an army of 500,000 for two consecutive years of campaign, has also been consumed.
It can be said that although the Qin and Jin coalition forces won the battle, they were also crippled and exhausted. If there was no way to restore blood as quickly as possible, they could only slowly recover by licking their wounds with tears.
It was already so miserable for the Han army to win, but as the loser, Yuan Meng's fate was naturally even worse.
Among the 650,000 troops dispatched by Temujin, except for Murong Ke's 100,000 troops, who survived because they were transferred back to Longcheng to encircle and suppress the Han army that had left the fortress, the remaining 550,000 troops were all
The army was annihilated, and even Emperor Temujin of the Yuan Dynasty was not spared. Only Wo Kuotai led the remaining three thousand people to escape back to Longcheng.
A total of 550,000 troops were wiped out. Yuanmeng's military strength was suddenly reduced by more than half. This also caused Yuanmeng's national foundation to be severely damaged, and it was impossible to recover in a short time.
Now there are less than 250,000 troops left in Yuan and Mongolia, and one of them is a new soldier, but they have to face the covetousness of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the east, and the oppression of the Qin and Jin Dynasties in the south.
It can be said that the Battle of Hetao directly destroyed the national power of Yuan and Meng, consumed all the savings accumulated by the destruction of Xianbei, and even put the entire country on the verge of disintegration.
Among the 550,000 troops destroyed by Yuanmeng, nearly 320,000 surrendered, and the remaining 230,000 died on the land of Hetao.
The bones of 230,000 Yuan Mongolian soldiers, plus the bones of nearly 300,000 Han soldiers, and the bones of 4.5 million Hetao people...
In just one and a half years, nearly one million people died in the Hetao. Their bones have all turned into nutrients for the land. I believe that the Hetao will usher in a good harvest in the coming year.
