2801. Chapter 2732 Liao Yingtian Empress Luping Qiang Army to the decisive battle
Chapter 2732: Empress Liao Ying declares Lu Ping, the Qiang army is about to begin a decisive battle
Chapter 2728: Empress Liao Ying declares peace, the Qiang army is about to begin a decisive battle
The reason why Yang Ren was reluctant to give up Huangyuan City was that, firstly, the Qin army had paid a huge price to defend the city, and secondly, he was worried that it would break the Qin army's absolute blockade of Daxing.
But now that Meng Tian has said everything is fine, and Li Jing is about to arrive with reinforcements, there is no need for Yang Ren to continue to defend Huangyuan, a small town that has no defensive value except its geographical location.
Before the war started, Yang Ren actually had some illusions. Maybe the Tibetan general was not good at attacking the city? Maybe he was particularly talented at defending the city? Or maybe...
As it turns out, fantasies are just fantasies.
As for Qinling, he was very good at attacking cities. Under his command, the 100,000 Tibetan troops were driven like an arm without any chaos.
And he, Yang Ren, has no special talent in defending the city.
In addition to launching a night attack, Yang Ren also made a lot of preparations for defending the city. For example, if there was no heavy defense equipment, he would build a light catapult.
If there are not enough defensive materials such as stone bullets, thunder stones, rolling logs, etc., then demolish the houses and remove the beams.
"If we can't kill Lun Qinling, even if we can completely drive the Sui Kingdom out of the country, I'm afraid there will still be no peace in the northwest."
"Meng Tian's four or five armies must be the main force. Our army is not sure of winning, so we withdrew. There is absolutely no other intention." Yang Xingmi said.
But Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong backed down and allowed Meng Tian to rescue Yang Ren. This also made Lun Qinling have to suspect that the Sui army wanted to benefit from the snipe and the clam.
It is precisely because of this that in just three days of the Huangyuan offensive and defensive battle, the Qin army suffered a total of 7,000 casualties and a reduction of nearly 30%.
Yang Ren even collected the excrement of soldiers and civilians in the city and boiled it to make golden juice to use in defending the city.
Therefore, Shuluping came to rule Eryang personally on behalf of the Qiang forces. He first sent 50,000 Qiang troops to participate in the battle, and would later send another 50,000 troops.
After seeing this scene, Shu Luping couldn't help but wonder, could a crisis of trust arise so easily? Can such a loose alliance really defeat the Qin army?
But when he thought that if the Qin army could not be defeated, the Qiang people would not be able to recover, Shuluping decided to help the alliance.
If a general with low general command was put in charge, this number would definitely increase significantly. However, under the command of the superior commander of Lun Qinling, the strength advantage of the Tibetan army was maximized, reducing the Tibetan army's strength in the siege battle.
casualties, and at the same time, it can also deal a blow to the Qin army.
Shuluping naturally came on behalf of the Qiang forces. With the assistance of her and Yelusu, her son Yelu Deguang unified the dormant faction internally, wooed the Sinicization faction externally, joined forces with the Qiang traitor faction, and recalled the fleeing faction.
They have become closer and closer and have become a powerful force in Haizhou.
Seeing Lun Qinling's vigilant look, Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong knew that he must have misunderstood, and immediately assured him again and again, even swearing to prove it.
In addition, Yang Ren can also clearly feel the gap between himself and a talented player like Lun Qinling in terms of commanding the city defense.
As for the Qin army's advantage in defending the city? From Lun Qinling's point of view, defending a small city like Huangyuan City with little defensive power is not much different from direct field battles.
When they heard that Shuluping said that Fu Cunshen had just arrived in Xining and that Meng Tian only had 20,000 to 30,000 men, Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong repeatedly asked Shuluping where the news came from and whether it was unreliable.
If Qinling did not retreat, Meng Tian would definitely dare to use 40,000 Qin troops to fight 90,000 Tubo troops in a decisive battle, but unfortunately Qinling was not stupid either.
Is the Qin army really that scary? On Qinling’s opinion, it’s not that scary.
On Qinling, he did not despise the other party because he was a woman. After all, there have been too many heroines in the Central Plains, especially the famous empress. Even Ying Hao, Li Shimin and other heroes have eclipsed her glory, so she must not because of the other party.
It’s just a woman’s fault. Who knows if the next empress will appear.
The Qiang people planned to expand their army by 100,000, but now they have only completed 80,000. Although the other 20,000 have been recruited, they have not yet been trained and will not be able to go to the battlefield in the short term. However, Er Yang is urging them very urgently.
Their two famous generals, with an army of 70,000, were fooled by Meng Tian using a simple trick to mislead the soldiers. They were all soldiers, and they firmly believed that there were other traps. Their behavior was no different from that of a clown.
After Yelu Abaoji committed suicide and the Qiang people were annihilated, Shuluping disappeared. However, as the Qiang people's power rose again, she reappeared and assisted her son Yelu Deguang.
If it weren't for Wu Ji's assistance, he alone would not be able to withstand the fierce and fast attack rhythm of Lun Qinling.
Regarding what Shu Luping said, Lun Qinling naturally agreed, otherwise he would not be still here, but he still had a grudge against Eryang.
So the Sui army sent Tibet, which was weaker than itself, to fight the Qin army, which was stronger than itself. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed that you were not well-intentioned and wanted to use someone to support you before you died.
As a result, on the way, Shuluping received the news that Fu Cunshan had arrived in Xining through the internal intelligence network of the Qiang people, and thus judged Mengtian's plan of suspicious soldiers in Eryang, thus missing a great opportunity to severely damage the Qin army.
"I wonder who this lady is?" Lun Qinling asked.
As for the Tubo army, the casualties were naturally greater than those of the Qin army, with total casualties of about 12,000.
Seeing that neither Yang Xingmi nor Yang Xiong could explain it, but they believed that there was something wrong here, even Qin Ling was speechless.
But Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong had 70,000 Sui troops in hand, but they did not dare to fight with 50,000 Qin troops. This was simply incomprehensible to Lun Qinling. If he had 70,000 Sui army-level Tubo troops in hand,
He must have started a war with the Qin army without saying anything.
Yang Xiong didn't know how to refute, and both parties fell into an awkward silence. But at this moment, a female voice came from outside the tent.
Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong both gave in. Qinling, an outsider to Tubo, would naturally not be stubborn enough to stay and fight the Qin army. The price of victory or defeat was too high for Tubo.
So far, the total casualties of Yang Ren's troops have reached 9,000. Although more than half of them are new troops, more than 4,000 veterans have died on the battlefield. This is also the largest casualty since the Qin Dynasty conquered the Sui Dynasty.
Before fighting the Qin army, Lun Qinling was also in awe of the Qin army. After all, too many powerful armies had been defeated by the Qin army, but when they actually fought, that awe disappeared.
After Meng Tian rescued Yang Ren, he immediately abandoned Huangyuan City and the entire army withdrew to Xining City in a majestic manner. However, this move made Yang Xingmi and Lun Qinling incomprehensible.
"My body tells the truth."
Regarding Qin Ling's opinion, the Qin army was strong, but the Sui army was not weak either. Compared with the Sui army, the Qin army was probably only slightly stronger, and the gap was not too big.
They were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, the city's defense was not strong enough, and their commanding ability was not as good as others.
The Hundred Flowers List of Famous Artists and the Women's List compiled by Bai Xiaosheng both included Shu Luping's name, but they were all ranked very low.
After reading the battle damage report, Meng Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Qin Ling was not easy to deal with. After all, if he was commanded by an incompetent person, even if he had an absolute military advantage, it would be impossible to fight such casualties with the Qin army.
proportional.
After hearing this name, Lun Qinling immediately showed a look of surprise and secretly said: "It turns out to be her."
"It is precisely because Da Qin is strong that we and the weak can unite to avoid being annexed by Da Qin."
In the past, Yang Ren hated gold juice the most. He wanted to vomit when he smelled the smell, but now he doesn't hate it anymore, because this thing is disgusting, but is it a weapon for defending the city? It can help him defend the city.
Shu Luping originally told Er Yang in private that the war was over after all. If he mentioned it in public, it would affect Er Yang's prestige in the army, but he did not expect that Lun Qinling would become suspicious of Er Yang because of this incident and felt that the Sui army
If you want the snipe and the clam to compete with each other, the fisherman will profit.
From Lun Qinling's point of view, he led the Plateau army to help the Sui State. He was the guest army and the Sui Army was the main force. However, the Sui Army did not dare to fight the Qin Army, but let the Tubo Army stand in front and fight the Qin Army, resulting in
The Tibetan army suffered more than 12,000 casualties, so it is natural to wonder whether the Sui army was plotting against Tibet.
However, these pre-war preparations played an extremely limited role in actual combat, and could not offset Huangyuan City's shortcomings of low walls, thin walls, and imperfect defense facilities.
Shuluping, also named Yueliduo, was Yelu Abaoji's wife and counselor, and the biological mother of Yelu Deguang and Yelu Bei. She provided great help to Abaoji in unifying the Qiang people.
As for what kind of trap it is? I don’t know, but there must be one anyway.
After Lun Qinling thought for a while, he said: "You know that the Qin army is so powerful, but you still invite me to send troops from Tibet, and you think you don't have good intentions?"
"As for the general, I really didn't lie to you. Half of Yang Ren's troops you encountered were new troops, and the combat power between the main force of the Qin army and the new army is completely different." Yang Xiong said.
Yang Ren, who was at a disadvantage in all aspects, could only adopt the stupidest and most practical strategy and use human life to make up for the gap.
Just now Er Yang himself said that the Qin army was stronger than the Sui army, and he also gave examples of the losses he suffered, saying that the Sui army had never won in a battle with the same number of people, and the Sui army was stronger than the Tubo army.
"If a word is false, five thunderbolts will strike from heaven." Yang Xingmi said with a serious face.
Except for the natives of the Northwest, I am afraid that few people know this name, because this name has not appeared for a long time.
In the tent of the Sui-Tu coalition forces, Yang Xingmi and Lun Qinling each represented their own country. After some discussions, the Sui side believed that there must be a trap in Meng Tian's abandonment of Huangyuan City.
After a battle with Yang Ren, Lun Qinling discovered that the Qin army was indeed very strong, and its individual combat power was much greater than that of the Tubo army. After all, he defeated the Qin army with 100,000 and 25,000, with a strength advantage of four to one, but he only defeated the Qin army.
One to one casualty ratio.
Qin Ling didn't believe a word of what they said, but he still couldn't help but ask: "Is the main force of the Qin army really that strong?"
I saw a graceful and well-proportioned woman, whose appearance was not stunning, but also extremely beautiful. She led several guards wearing traditional Qiang costumes into the tent under the guidance of the guards, and looked at the discussion.
Qin Ling asked with a smile: "Does the Tubo General think so?"
He felt that the Sui army was frightened by the Qin army, and they were already a little frightened, but they didn't realize it yet.
The success or failure of Huangyuan City is related to the Qin army's plan to trap Daxing. How could Meng Tian give up on his own initiative?
Yang Ren's 25,000-strong army lost 9,000, leaving only 16,000, while Meng Tian's reinforcements numbered 25,000. After the two sides joined forces, the total strength reached 41,000.
In the Huangyuan offensive and defensive battle, the Qin army suffered 7,000 casualties. In addition to the previous battles, the Qin army also suffered nearly 2,000 casualties.
After getting an extremely reliable answer from Shu Luping, both Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong couldn't hold back at all.
Meng Tian secretly thought in his heart, and at the same time he also made up his mind that even if he had to pay a certain price, he would get rid of this serious problem of Lun Qinling as soon as possible.
Therefore, Meng Tian came very timely. If he had come a day or two late, Yang Ren would definitely not have been able to make it by that time.
If the number of troops is reduced to 50%, even the Qin army will have problems such as timidity, fear of war, and war fear.
Hearing what Lun Qinling said, Yang Xingmi wished he could slap himself in the face, he was such a bad mouther, he really couldn't speak.
Moreover, under Yang Xiong's misdirection, Lun Qinling thought that Meng Tian had an army of 40,000 to 50,000 men, and together with Yang Ren's Huangyuan garrison, Tibet would definitely be defeated if a war started, so they naturally did not dare not withdraw their troops.
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Xingmi felt ashamed and had the urge to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth and praised Meng Tian: "Meng Tian, Meng Tian, I am worthy of you, worthy of you."
