Chapter 2727: Qin Army's combat strength level, deceiving Yang Xiong to save Yang Ren
In order to rescue Yang Ren in Huangyuan City, Meng Tian decided to take the risk and implement the strategy of suspecting soldiers, which naturally had considerable risks.
If Yang Xingmi or Yang Xiong find out, the 25,000 Qin troops led by Meng Tian will face the 70,000 Sui troops head-on.
If the Qin army were all elites, then Meng Tian would naturally not be afraid. After all, the elites of the Qin army were recognized as being able to equal ten.
But the problem is that only some of the 25,000 troops under Meng Tian's command, including the 80,000 troops on the south road, are regular main forces, rather than elites produced by mountains of swords and seas of blood. Naturally, it is impossible to defeat nearly three times as many troops as himself in a head-on battle.
Sui army.
Today, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Qin Army can be roughly divided into five levels, namely: garrison troops, regular recruits, regular veterans, regular main force and main elites.
The weakest ones are naturally the garrison soldiers left behind, which actually include county soldiers, county soldiers, policemen, reserve soldiers, retired soldiers, etc. Before being trained, they can only be used for public security and city defense, and cannot go to the battlefield for field combat.
The next four levels actually belong to the regular army, but the regular army is also divided into three, six, and nine levels. After all, Da Qin's regular army has a total of 1.55 million soldiers. It is normal for the quality of soldiers to be uneven.
Among the 1.55 million Qin regular army, the weakest in combat effectiveness were naturally the 750,000 new soldiers recruited in this major expansion of the army, and this group of soldiers also accounted for the largest proportion in the Qin army.
Except for the new recruits in the regular army, the remaining three ranks belong to the veterans in the regular army, and the total number of veterans is a full 800,000.
This is also the main reason why Meng Tian has been waiting for Fu Cunxuan, because there is no elite elite battalion. Without Fu Cunxian's 20,000 reinforcements, the 20,000 main force alone cannot really defeat the 70,000 Sui army.
.
Looking at the damaged walls of Huangyuan City and the broken limbs scattered everywhere outside the city, Meng Tian didn't need to think about it to know how fierce the battle to defend the city was.
Once Meng Tian and Yang Xiong engage in a decisive battle, if they cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, by the time Yang Xingmi's reinforcements arrive, the Qin army may be completely wiped out.
As for the 30,000-strong army led by Meng Tian, there were 20,000 regular main troops and 10,000 regular recruits. After all, Xining City was the most important among the three cities and faced the greatest pressure. However, the Sui-Tu Allied Forces adopted the strategy of cutting expenses first and then cutting
dry strategy.
If Meng Tian only had 20,000 to 30,000 troops, how could he possibly dare to fight against his 70,000-strong army? That’s why I believe that Meng Tian had predicted their actions.
If Meng Tian wants to rescue Yang Ren, he can only bring 25,000 troops at most and leave 5,000 new troops to guard Xining. After all, if there are more, Xining will be in danger.
Of the 1.2 million troops that the Qin, Wei, Song, Ming, Ming, and Sui kingdoms fought, a full 550,000 were new troops, and the remaining 600,000 were veterans, leaving 15 veterans and 200,000 recruits to guard the homeland.
Next, Meng Tian's 25,000 men, disguised as an army of 50,000, marched westward at full speed, as if they could not wait, but this dispelled Yang Xingmi's suspicion.
When Meng Tian led his army to Huangyuan, the Tubo army, led by Lun Qinling, had already gone to join forces with Yang Xingmi. After all, if they did not leave, the Tubo army might not be able to withstand the internal and external attacks of 60,000 to 70,000 Qin troops.
ah.
But if this is the case, he will have to use 25,000 Qin troops to fight against the main force of 70,000 Sui troops.
Yang Xiong stood up with a shocked look on his face. According to his estimate, Fu Cunshen should have two days to arrive at the extraction team, but it turned out to be a full two days early. There are only two possibilities for this:
Why did the two armies in the middle route go so smoothly? In addition to having the largest number of troops, there were also the Flying Bear Army and the Dragon Cavalry Army. The North Route Army, under Long Qie, also had the Tenglong Army. Only Meng Tian did not have an elite battalion.
The largest number of the regular armies of the Qin Dynasty is the new army, accounting for 48.3%, which is close to half of the total number. The addition of so many new armies will inevitably lead to a decline in the overall quality and combat effectiveness of the Qin army.
But is it really Fu Cunshen who came?
"What? How could Fu Cunshen come so quickly?"
One is to directly fight Meng Tian, but with 70,000 Sui troops fighting 50,000 Qin troops, Yang Xingmi always felt that he had no advantage and might even lose.
Yang Xiong still had some doubts in his heart, but Qin Jun's next actions dispelled all his doubts.
As for the most powerful army in the Qin Dynasty, they are naturally the elite elite camps such as the Breaking Army Camp and the Falling Camp.
"Report...to the deputy governor, a large number of Qin troops appeared outside Xining City, flying a banner with the word 'Fu'."
After hearing this, Yang Xiong no longer had any doubts or hesitations in his heart. After all, if it wasn't Fu Cunxen who came, with Meng Tian's little military strength, he wouldn't be able to hide in time, so how could he dare to fight with him? So it must be Fu Cunxen.
The arrival gave Meng Tian enough confidence.
The second is to suspend the encirclement and suppression of Yang Ren, join forces with Lun Qinling, and then fight Meng Tian to defeat the Qin army with absolute military superiority.
But you must know that the real elites are never trained, but are killed in mountains of swords and seas of fire.
Meng Tian's rescue was very timely. If it had been a day or two later, Huangyuan City might not be able to survive.
Among the 1.55 million regular Qin army, there are 750,000 regular recruits, 200,000 regular veterans, 500,000 regular main force, and 100,000 elite elite battalions.
Among the 80,000 troops on Mengtian South Road, the ratio of new recruits to veterans is about half, that is, 40,000 recruits and 40,000 veterans. However, they have to defend three places to resist the 170,000 Sui and Tu allied forces, so the distribution of troops is naturally also
Be careful with your budget.
Among the 800,000 veterans of Da Qin, the total number of these veterans is approximately 200,000.
Meng Tian didn't bother to explain to Yang Ren and decisively ordered: "Yang Ren obeys the order."
"Abandon Huangyuan City immediately and retreat to Xining with the governor."
According to statistics, Daqin currently has: Breaking the Military Camp, Falling into the Camp, Nine Dragon Guard, Iron Guard, Tiger Guard, Flying Tiger Army, Euphorbia Soldiers, Xianden Dead Soldiers, Flying Bear Army, Beiwei Army, Wolf Cavalry Army, White Horse Rebels
There are eighteen ace elite battalions including Cong, Dragon Cavalry Army, Tenglong Army, Qin Wuzu, and Women's Army, with a total number of nearly 100,000 people.
If elites could be trained through training alone, there would not be only one hundred thousand elite elites among the 155 regular armies of Qin Dynasty.
Second, Fu Cunshen had already led his army to set off before the Sui and Tu allied forces took action.
Meng Tian has already taken action, and the pressure has shifted to Yang Xiong. Should he withdraw his troops or continue to stare at Meng Tian?
If it is Fu Cunchen who comes, the 35,000 Sui troops in Yang Xiong's hands will definitely not be the opponent of the 40,000 to 50,000 Qin troops, and Yang Xingmi's headquarters is fifty miles away from him. Once the two sides start a war, if Yang Xingmi cannot be in time
If he provides support, he may even run the risk of his entire army being annihilated.
When Meng Tian was the governor of Hetao, he defeated the three coalition forces of Yang, Ma and Han. His later governor of Liangzhou also suppressed the Sui State and succeeded repeatedly. Basically, all the major generals of the Sui State suffered losses at his hands.
If Yang Xiong is stubborn and refuses to retreat, then he can only use 25,000 Qin troops to directly fight Yang Xiong in a decisive battle. After all, retreating will only expose the truth, and Yang Xiong will never let him escape back to Xining.
In just three days of defending the city, the Qin army suffered casualties of 7,000 troops, while the Tibetan army suffered about 7,000 casualties.
First, this Qin army is a suspicious force.
At this thought, Meng Tian couldn't help but complain a little bit about Li Jing. He had done it too hard to force the weak branches, so that he was so passive now.
It seems normal that such a tough and difficult Meng Tian could predict the movements of the Sui and Tu allied forces in advance.
But Yang Ren relied on only one city wall to withstand the fierce attack of 100,000 Tibetan troops for three days, and naturally he paid a heavy price.
The first and second options are both possible in Yang Xiong's opinion, and the second option is even more likely. After all, the opponent he is facing now is Meng Tian.
In fact, these new recruits of Da Qin are excellent in all aspects. After all, they were selected through many layers of selection and then trained by famous generals for more than a year. Coupled with the sophisticated equipment of the Qin army, even if they have never been on the battlefield,
Even if he has never seen blood, his fighting power will not be weak.
Therefore, Yang Xiong's initiative to retreat and clear the way was the optimal solution for Meng Tian.
It is quite remarkable for other countries to have one or two ace elite battalions, but Great Qin already has eighteen. It is precisely because of these elites that the Qin army has an invincible record of being undefeated in a hundred battles.
.
Although Da Qin's new army lacks experience, it has a good foundation and equipment advantages. As long as it goes to the battlefield and experiences life and death and the flames of war, it can be quickly promoted and transformed into veterans.
Now the Qin army has a total of 40,000 to 50,000 troops. With only 35,000 men and horses, it is definitely no match.
There were also 150,000 new troops among the 30 armies on the Western Front that defeated the Sui Dynasty, accounting for half of the total force of the Sui Dynasty. From this, it can be seen that there must be new troops in the three armies that defeated the Sui Dynasty.
Meng Tian's prestige in Liangzhou is still very high, and it is precisely because the Qin army's general is Meng Tian that Yang Xiong is so hesitant, otherwise the strategy of suspecting soldiers will not succeed at all.
Now there are only two choices before Yang Xingmi:
But when he saw that there were only more than 20,000 reinforcements behind Meng Tian, Yang Ren was completely dumbfounded.
Therefore, Yang Xiong hardly hesitated and decisively ordered: "Send the order, the whole army retreats, and goes to join the commander-in-chief. Do not give Qin a chance to defeat our army one by one."
"Report...to the deputy governor, after Fu Cunchen's troops arrived in Xining, Meng Tian led his army out of the city. After the two armies joined forces, they came towards our army."
After all, Huangyuan City is just a small city. Apart from the city wall, there are almost no defensive facilities, so it is not easy to defend. It is only a matter of time before it falls.
Although the main force of the Qin Dynasty was stronger than the main force of the Sui army, even with the superior equipment, it was impossible to offset the three times its own strength advantage.
In addition, those veterans who have been in the army for more than three years and have killed at least one enemy army account for the largest proportion among the veterans of the Qin Dynasty. The total number is about 500,000, and they are the well-deserved main force of the Qin army.
and pillars, and also the reserve source of troops for the main elite battalion.
Now these two wars are going on, both on the eastern and western fronts, the new army of Qin is participating, and there are quite a lot of them.
"promise."
Yang Xingmi originally didn't believe that Meng Tian could predict their actions in advance, but Yang Xiong vowed that Meng Tian could do it, which made Yang Xingmi waver in his judgment, and then Meng Tian looked like he couldn't wait to fight him.
.
Therefore, Yang Ren was very excited when he saw Meng Tian. Meng Tian not only saved him, but also saved the lives of all the soldiers in the city.
Among the 25,000 armies led by Yang Ren and Fu Cunshen, each had 10,000 veterans, while the other 15,000 were new recruits.
However, as Huangyuan City was in danger, Meng Tian had to send troops in advance. However, he could not defeat the 70,000 Sui troops standing in front of him, so he had no choice but to take the risk of using the suspicion tactics.
After much thought, Yang Xingmi still felt that option two had a greater chance of winning, so instead of stopping him, he allowed Meng Tian to go to Huangyuan City.
Thirty thousand Sui troops retreated in an orderly manner under the command of Yang Xiong, and this move also made Meng Tian secretly relieved.
In Da Qin, even veterans who have been in the army for more than three years have not all seen blood. Even if they have seen blood, it does not mean they have killed someone. Therefore, veterans are divided into three, six and nine grades.
"The end will be here."
Meng Tian was not a coward. If he had even an elite battalion at hand, he would dare to fight the 70,000 Sui army head-on with an army of 25,000. However, he only had 20,000 main troops and another 5,000.
They are all new recruits.
Those veterans who have been soldiers for more than one and a half years but less than three years, but have never been on the battlefield, or who have been on the battlefield and seen blood, but have never killed anyone, rely on their rich military and training experience, and their overall quality and combat effectiveness are stronger than those of Da Qin recruits.
, and the regular armies of various countries, but they are weaker than the elite main forces of various countries.
"What? Give up Huangyuan City?"
Yang Ren showed a look of disbelief and asked quickly: "But if we abandon Huangyuan, what will happen if the Sui and Tu allied forces enter Liangzhou and go to support Daxing City?"
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief Li Jing has already led the reinforcements over as quickly as possible. If the Sui and Tu allied forces enter Liangzhou from Huangyuan City to support Daxing, they will only run into Commander-in-Chief Li Jing head-on."
After hearing this, Yang Ren felt relieved. After all, Li Jing had two elites, the Flying Bear Army and the Dragon Cavalry Army. If they really collided head-on, it was not certain who would hit whom.
Sorry, I haven't been in a good state lately. I wasn't thinking about coding, so I got stuck while writing this. It took me three days to write this chapter.
