Chapter 2075: The Battle of Beiping between Qin and Qing Dynasties (1)
At Huang Taiji's suggestion, Nurhaci sent envoys to Sanhan and Japan, and at the same time sent Huang Taiji to lead an army to conquer Lulongsai.
Nurhaci only gave Huang Taiji 30,000 troops. It was not that he was reluctant to give more troops, but it was because Qin Hao at the front put too much pressure on him.
After the fall of Lulongsai, Youbeiping and Liaoxi were separated. Nurhaci could only use an army of 200,000 to fight against Qin Hao's 250,000 army.
The comprehensive combat strength of the Qin army is already higher than that of the Qing army, and its equipment is also better than that of the Qing army. If it is lower than 170,000, Nurhachi is really not sure that he can withstand the fierce attack of the 250,000 Qin army.
Therefore, allocating 30,000 troops to Huang Taiji was Nurhachi's limit. If there were more, he might not be able to stop Qin Hao.
In Nurhaci's view, Fu Jian had already dispatched 70,000 troops, and Huang Taiji was leading 30,000 troops, totaling 100,000 troops. Under attack from both sides, it should be easy to capture Lulongsai.
What Nurhaci didn't know was that Gongsun Xuanyuan had ordered Zhang Han to set up camp at Jieshi Road, and his plan to attack Lulongsai from both sides could not be realized in the short term.
In addition, there are more than 250,000 Qin troops in Youbeiping. With the arrival of the Youzhou reorganized army in the rear, there are now a full 340,000 Qin troops in Youbeiping, which is exactly twice the strength of the Manchu army left behind.
This was a force that was enough to forcibly defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If Huang Taiji could not capture Lulong in time, the 200,000 Qing troops in Youbeiping would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
————————
To the right of Beiping is the Qin army's commander's tent.
Qin Hao received the news of the fall of Lulongsai, and Nurhaci had to stay at night. After all, Nurhachi's position was closer to Lulong, but this did not mean that Qin Hao's reaction speed was slower than his.
"My lord, General Gongsun sent a message from a flying pigeon. Lulongsai has been successfully captured. It only took less than a day." Jiang Ji reported with an excited look.
"good."
Qin Hao also showed a look of surprise. He had expected Xuanyuan to defeat Lulong, but it only took less than a day, which was beyond his expectation. This means that the capture of Lulong went smoothly without any complications.
ah.
It only took one day to break through, so Xuanyuan would have plenty of time to set up defenses, and Lulongsai's defense would be stronger than expected? Even if the Qing army's plan to attack from both sides is realized? It's not that easy to break through Lulongsai.
Easy thing.
"The Lulong fortress has been broken, and the Manchu and Qing food routes have been cut off? Has it been completely passive? The next step is for our army to counterattack."
Qin Hao's eyes were full of excitement and he ordered: "Pass the order?" Ming Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, and Wei Qing will attack immediately according to the original plan.
"promise."
Bai Qi, Huo Qubing and the other five troops have been ready for a long time. They are just waiting for Qin Hao's order to attack. Now, with the king's order, it will naturally move like thunder and shake the earth.
Among the five armies prepared by the Qin army, the three Bai Huosu troops are stationed at the front? The two Xue and Wei troops are hidden in the rear, and the Manchus are also on guard against the three Bai Huosu troops, and they don’t even know about the two Xue and Wei troops.
the existence of the department.
Therefore, after Qin Hao's royal order was issued, Bai Huosu's three troops marched at the same time? However, they did not launch an attack, but pretended to attack by force.
Bai Qi's 70,000 troops? Su Dingfang's 70,000 troops and Huo Qubing's 40,000 troops? The total is 180,000 troops, which has exceeded the total strength of the remaining Qing troops? This movement naturally frightened the Qing army garrison generals everywhere.
A jump.
Even Nurhaci thought that the location of Bai Suhuo's three troops was the main attack direction of the Qin army. After all, Qin Hao's central army had no intention of moving, but he never expected that two other groups would appear.
army.
Xue Rengui and Wei Qing's troops took advantage of the attention of the Manchu and Qing armies to focus on Bai Qi's three armies on the front line. So these two strange troops found a new way and suddenly rushed out from both wings, catching the unprepared Qing army by surprise.
In just one day, Xue Rengui's troops defeated three villages in a row, killing two thousand enemies and capturing two thousand prisoners, and moved the battle line ten miles eastward.
Although the achievements of Wei Qing's troops were not as good as Xue Rengui's, they were not inferior by much. In two villages in one day, they killed 1,500 enemies and captured 1,000 prisoners.
Among them, the young general Xue Dingshan's performance was the most eye-catching. Not only was he the first to rush into Dazhai, but he also killed six Manchu captains and three generals in a row, making Wei Qing's unit the most credited.
Xue Rengui and Wei Qing's two hundred thousand troops suddenly joined the battlefield, catching the Manchus by surprise. The Manchus' previous arrangements were all to defend against Bai Qi. Su Dingfang and Huo Qubing's three troops, with 170,000 troops, could barely defend 240,000.
Enough.
But now the Qin army has an extra 100,000 troops, and its total strength has reached 340,000, which is twice as many as the Qing army. Naturally, the previous arrangement is inappropriate.
Xue Rengui and Wei Qing's troops seized the opportunity and destroyed the five strongholds first, while Bai Qi, Su Ding and Fang Huo Qubing struck later, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Qing army's morale, to attack with an iron fist and launch a fierce offensive.
Bai Qi and Su Dingfang both have 70,000 troops under their command. The military formation formed by the 70,000 troops can be described as vast and overwhelming. Black clouds are pressing down on the city, no, they are pressing down on the stronghold, making it seem impossible for anyone to resist and punish them.
Heart, and the offensive is even more overwhelming.
When the Qin army fired a round of bows and arrows, there was a shower of arrows, and when a round of flying rocks hit it, it was like meteorites that washed the ground, leaving no livestock behind.
Bai Qi and Su Dingfang didn't need to use any strategy at all. Even if it was an upright attack, the Manchu Qing's wooden village couldn't resist it even if it relied on the geographical advantage.
In less than two hours, two more strongholds were breached. The defenders had no choice but to retreat to another stronghold in the rear to defend. However, Bai Su would send light cavalry to pursue them, so those who could really escape back
Just a few.
The situation on Huo Qubing's side was completely different from that of the other armies. He did not have as many troops as Bai, Su, Xue and Wei, but the advantage was that they were all cavalry, so he had no intention of attacking the stronghold from the beginning.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army's stronghold was under attack by their own side and had no energy to block the passage, Huo Qubing led 40,000 cavalry and drove straight in. They penetrated into the heart of the Qing Dynasty like a sharp sword and choked the Qing Dynasty like a thorn in their throats.
Under the joint attack of 280,000 Qin troops, the fifty-five strongholds established by Nurhaci were as fragile as paper. In just one day, seven strongholds were defeated in a row from the north. If this trend continues,
, it is only a matter of time before all fifty-five villages are destroyed.
"How come the Qin army has an extra 100,000 troops? Then where did Qin Hao get the 100,000 troops?"
Nurhachi's face was full of anger, and he roared uneasily and incomprehensively.
The 240,000 Qin army was already too much for him to resist, and now there were an additional 100,000. The Qin army in Youbeiping became 340,000, which was twice as many as the Qin army at that time.
