Chapter 2115: Break Yanshan and Kill Tuoba Gui (Part 1)
Since the beginning of the war, Bai Qi and Xue Rengui have been restraining Jin Wushu and Tuoba Gui to prevent them from sending more troops to support Tuoba Tao when Wei Qing attacked the camp.
Now that Wei Qing had defeated three battalions in a row, he was only one battalion away from clearing the Yanshan Mountain Road.
It is conceivable that although Tuoba Gui will not give up the other battalions, he will definitely concentrate his elite troops and strong generals to defend the last fourth battalion.
This battle is destined to be extremely tragic, and even Tuoba Gui and Jin Wushu will come to the fourth battalion in person, so there is no longer much meaning in letting Xue Rengui stay in his original position.
In addition, Xue Rengui's headquarters is also a reorganized army, so he is naturally the best cannon fodder for attacking the camp.
Xue Rengui didn't have much resistance to serving as deputy general to Wei Qing. After all, Wei Qing took good care of his son, and Wei Qing was indeed the best choice for the commander-in-chief, so being his deputy would not be considered an insult to himself.
Therefore, after receiving Qin Hao's order, Xue Rengui immediately prepared to withdraw his troops to replace Wei Qing's troops, but he left Zhou Yafu to lead an army of five thousand to continue to contain Jin Wushu's troops, although he did not know whether Jin Wushu was still there.
In the camp.
Xue Rengui's guess was correct. Jin Wushu was indeed no longer in the camp at this time. He and his elite men were transferred to the fourth camp by Tuoba Gui, and Tuoba Gui's troops also went with them.
Just as Qin Hao expected, after learning that the third battalion had fallen and that the Yanshan Passage was about to be opened, Tuoba Gui decisively decided to concentrate his best troops and strong generals to defend the fourth battalion. After all, if the fourth battalion fell, the other battalions would not be able to hold on.
significance.
Of course, although Tuoba Gui reduced the garrison of the remaining camps, he did not give up completely. After all, Yanshan could be crossed from here, so the garrison could be reduced but not all of the garrison could be withdrawn.
Tuoba Gui mobilized a total of 15,000 defenders for the defense of the fourth battalion, but this actually exceeded the maximum capacity of the fourth battalion, so Tuoba Gui established another one three miles behind the camp.
Set up a battalion and immediately send reinforcements to the rear if the frontline forces are stretched thin.
Under Tuoba Gui's operation, the defenders of the fourth battalion were replaced by elites drawn from each battalion, and the slogan "defend Yanshan to the death" was shouted.
In addition to elite soldiers, the fourth battalion also has an equally luxurious lineup of generals. In addition to the famous commander Tuoba Gui, there are also famous generals such as Nian Deli, Jin Wushu, Yang Dayan, and Tuoba Tao.
Tuoba Gui was very determined this time. He issued a military order to Nurhachi, saying that he must defend the fourth battalion even if he risked his life, otherwise he would die to apologize.
Tuoba Gui issued a military order not only to express his determination, but also to take responsibility for Tuoba Tao. After all, the third battalion's battle was indeed a disastrous defeat.
There were a full 10,000 defenders, but they couldn't defend it for even five days. Even the fifteenth Age Duduo was killed in the battle. As a defender, Tuoba Tao naturally had to bear the main responsibility.
But both Tuoba Gui and other generals knew that it was not Tuoba Tao's fault that the battle ended like this. He had tried his best. The Qin army, which was already stronger than the Qing army, attacked fiercely at the expense of casualties. Who else would be guarding the camp?
I'm afraid the results will be the same.
In order to protect his grandson, Tuoba Gui had no choice but to issue this military order. After making all preparations, he waited for the new Qin army general to arrive, but Wei Qing did not arrive first.
Not only Tuoba Gui but also Wei Qing himself did not expect that he could still serve as the commander of the attack camp, and that Xue Rengui, the famous commander of the Qin army, would come to serve as his deputy.
If it weren't for the decisive trust, how could King Qin give such an order?
As soon as he thought about this, even Wei Qing, who had been full of resentment towards Qin Hao, felt a little moved in his heart. This feeling of being trusted was so intoxicating.
Wei Qing wanted to make this battle a good one, but he also knew that the fourth battalion was difficult to fight and had a hard time, so he had to wait for Xue Rengui to come and discuss it carefully.
Afterwards, Wei Qing left behind three thousand soldiers who were still intact, and moved all the wounded and tired soldiers to the rear for correction.
Two days later, Xue Rengui's 40,000 troops arrived at the front line. Wei Qing personally went out of camp ten miles to greet the generals to show respect, but Xue Rengui found his son Xue Dingshan.
Xue Rengui knew everything about Xue Dingshan on the front line. To be honest, he was very satisfied with his son's expression. After all, Xue Dingshan was not yet twenty years old. When he was twenty, he was not as majestic as his son.
Of course, Xue Rengui was satisfied with his father's love, but he would not show it directly. Instead, he would find faults in various ways to prevent Xue Dingshan from being complacent.
After training Xue Dingshan, Xue Rengui smiled and clasped his fist at Wei Qing and said, "Brother Wei Qing, the dog has troubled you during this time."
Wei Qing hurriedly returned the greeting: "No, no, General Xue is both civil and military, and he has also helped me a lot."
"He, as a father, I don't know. It's good if he doesn't get into trouble."
Xue Rengui squinted at his son with a look of disgust on his face.
"Dad, my child is not as miserable as you said."
Xue Dingshan had a wry smile on his face. There were so many comrades here. My father didn't save any face for himself.
"Shut up."
Xue Rengui glared at Xue Dingshan, and Xue Dingshan shut up obediently. Seeing this, all the generals laughed.
"Brother Wei Qing, you are the general, tell me how to fight next." Xue Rengui asked.
Hearing this, Wei Qing was completely relieved. Before, he was worried that Xue Rengui would be dissatisfied with serving as a deputy to his demoted general. Now it seems that he has thought too much. Xue Rengui's mind is much bigger than he thought.
ah.
"Tuoba Gui has mobilized troops from each battalion. Now that he is strong, Jin Wushu, and even Tuoba Gui are already in the fourth battalion, so we need to carefully discuss the idea of breaking through the fourth battalion."
After saying that, Wei Qing made an invitation gesture and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, let's go into the camp before we talk."
"That's fine."
While Wei Qing and Xue Rengui were discussing how to break through the fourth battalion, the Qing army was also discussing how to hold on, and the one who had the most say in this was naturally Tuoba Tao, who had been defeated by Wei Qing twice.
"Everyone, Wei Qing uses both force and softness in his military. If you are not careful, you may fall into his scheme. I think..."
Before Tuoba Tao finished speaking, disdainful words came from below.
"Tsk, if Wei Qing is really that powerful, wouldn't he be invincible if Bai Qi beat him until he was unable to fight back?
According to what you said, why didn't Qin Hao send the more powerful Bai Qi to attack the camp? If Bai Qi came, wouldn't we all be dead?"
Seeing that the person who said this was Shanshituo, Tuoba Tao's brows suddenly furrowed.
"General Shan, what do you mean by this?"
"What I mean is that if someone loses the battle, it will inflate the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige."
"you……"
Tuoba Tao's expression suddenly changed, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of anger.
