Pinggu County is a city in the southeast of Yuyang County, connected to Xuwu County in Youbeiping County. Once it is captured, the Qin army can change direction and enter Youbeiping County through Pinggu County.
The generals guarding Pinggu County were not only famous generals of the Northern Han Dynasty, but also came from the Liu clan, and were inherently incompatible with the Qin army.
Nurhaci originally thought that General Pinggu would resist for at least ten and a half days, but he did not expect that this general, who was born in the Liu family, would surrender to the usurper Qin Hao without even fighting.
Now the Qin army has come to Youbeiping, and at the same time it has blocked all the roads for the Qing army to enter Yuyang. Before defeating Qin Hao's 130,000 Qin army, the Qing army is destined to be unable to enter the Northern Han Dynasty again.
"Amma, the Qin army moved too fast. The front army of You Beiping was blocked and could no longer enter Yuyang County. What should we do now?" Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice.
"As expected of Qin Hao, he is really difficult to deal with."
Nurhachi gritted his teeth and said, before he officially fought against the Qin army, he had already realized how difficult the Qin army was. He was indeed the Qin army who even killed Temujin!
"The Qin army has a total of 130,000 troops, and Qin Hao personally leads the army. However, our army in Youbeiping only has 80,000 troops, which is invincible."
Nurhachi stared at the map and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to Aguda, asking him to retreat immediately and wait for reinforcements. He must not confront the Qin army head-on. We will make another decision after I personally lead the army to arrive."
Hearing this, Huang Taiji was immediately shocked and said: "Amma wants to personally lead the army to fight Qin Hao?"
"Qin Hao personally led the army here, didn't he just want to fight with me? If I don't even dare to go, wouldn't I make the heroes of the world laugh at me?" Nurhaci sneered.
"Amma, this is too dangerous. Let me go on behalf of Amma."
"What danger can there be? Qin Hao will not go to war with me, the Qing Dynasty, before the Northern Han Dynasty is solved."
"how come?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Taiji was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he showed a look of surprise.
"Amma, could it be that..."
"That's right."
Nurhaci nodded and sneered: "Why do you think Qin Hao didn't attack Yuyang with all his strength, but instead sent a large number of troops to Youbeiping, which is vast and sparsely populated?
Qin Hao dispatched 130,000 troops to Youbeiping, just to crucify the Qing Dynasty in Youbeiping, so that our army cannot intervene in the war in Youzhou and prevent the Qin army from destroying the Northern Han Dynasty."
Huang Taiji had already thought of this and nodded: "But after the Qin army divided its forces, the number of troops that could be used to deal with the Han army was only 200,000. Qin Hao was so confident that he could defeat the Han army with only 200,000 troops.
Can you destroy the Northern Han Dynasty? The Han army is not weak in combat power."
Although Huang Taiji had never fought against the Han army, it can be seen from the Qing army's several expeditions to Youzhou with little effect that the local army in Youzhou was not weak, at least not much weaker than the Qing army.
The Qin army wanted to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, which had 180,000 defenders, with an army of 200,000. Isn't this a bit too much? It doesn't look like the Qin army, which has always been cautious.
"..."
Nurhaci originally wanted to laugh at Qin Hao's arrogance, but when he thought about his old rival Temujin who had never defeated him, he died in the hands of Qin general Jia Fu, and Hebei princes Yuan Shao and Han Xin also died and surrendered, so the words came to his mind.
But no words came out of his mouth.
"No matter what the purpose of the Qin army is, these 130,000 troops will definitely not be transferred back to Yuyang in the short term."
A glint flashed in Nurhachi's eyes, and he sneered: "Qin Hao is really brave to dare to come to Youbeiping with only 130,000 troops to confront my army of more than 200,000 troops.
Following the order, one hundred thousand eight-banner troops from Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuantu, and Lelang counties will immediately move to the Beiping Army on the right. I would like to see if Qin Hao really wants to fight to the death with me, the Qing Dynasty."
Following Nurhachi's order, the 70,000 Qing troops defeated by Wanyan Agu immediately retreated to Wuzhong and Junmi counties and stood still waiting for reinforcements.
The 100,000 Qing troops stationed in the four counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, etc., under the command of Nurhaci, rushed to Beiping County on the right.
Under the persecution and oppression of the Qing army, the people of Chen State, who were living in dire straits every day, were miserable. When they saw that all the Qing troops had left at once, they took to the streets to tell the news and wept with joy.
The people of the Chen State were still too naive, thinking that this way they could distinguish themselves from the rule of the Qing army. However, they did not expect that although the main force of the Qing army of 180,000 had left, there were still 20,000 main Qing soldiers and 70,000 who were completely controlled by the Qin army.
"Puppet Army", so the hard times will continue.
At the same time, there are still 50,000 Qing troops, the main force, who also retreated from the Sanhan front line and marched towards Youzhou at the fastest speed. Once they arrive in Youzhou, the total strength of the Qing army in Youzhou will reach 330,000.
.
"Qin Hao, I want to see how you can fight with my 330,000 army with only 130,000 troops."
During the march, Nurhachi sneered and murmured to himself.
——————————
The two armies of Qin Hao and Su Dingfang have been invincible since Yuyang in the apartment. They defeated three counties in just one day and even frightened the Pinggu County magistrate into surrendering without a fight.
Pinggu County is a fortified city, and the road leading to it is rugged, and two large camps are set up that are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In Qin Hao's plan, Sun Lingming wanted to attack Pinggu City, which would take at least seven days, but he didn't expect that when he captured the first Dazhai, he directly killed the Pinggu County defender and captured the second Dazhai.
The village did not give us any help, so we arrived at Pinggu County in such a short time.
Seeing that the Qin army's offensive was so fierce that they broke through two strongholds in just one day, and even the defenders were killed. The county magistrate was completely frightened, so he opened the city and surrendered without a fight. Sun Lingming captured it so easily.
To Pinggu.
After Qin Hao arrived in Pinggu, he immediately received the news that the Qing army was blocked by Cheng Bushi, so he decisively ordered the army to change direction and head east to Youbeiping County. At the same time, he transferred Sun Lingming to Su Dingfang's command.
"Lord, why did you suddenly transfer the last general to the Fourth Route Army? The last general wants to stay with the lord." Sun Lingming said, he didn't want to fight another civil war. Compared to the Northern Han Dynasty, he was more willing to deal with the Manchus.
"The Fourth Route Army is very important. As long as Su Dingfang's troops can capture Yuyang, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will completely become a turtle in the urn."
Qin Hao looked at Sun Lingming, who looked puzzled, and explained with a smile: "With your help, Su Dingfang can conquer Yuyang faster, and the speed of annihilating the Northern Han Dynasty will also be shortened."
"I see."
Sun Lingming suddenly understood and said: "In that case, then I will go to the Fourth Route Army."
Qin Hao transferred the vanguard Sun Lingming to go to Su Dingfang's command, but he personally led Jia Fu, Long Qie and other generals to Youbeiping. On the way, they learned that Agu had retreated and was waiting for reinforcements, and that Nurhachi had personally led an army of 100,000 to Youbeiping.
