Chapter 1633 Li Jing defeated Wang Mang and settled Qingzhou
Chapter 1631: Li Jing defeated Wang Mang and settled Qingzhou
Qin Hao had long expected that Li Jing would win, but he did not expect that he would win so cleanly.
Qin Hao originally thought that even if Li Jing would win, it would probably be a miserable victory, but he did not expect that after just experiencing a huge defeat, Li Jing could defeat his opponent head-on with 40,000 against 80,000, and achieved 30,000 kills and self-loss. Ten thousand results.
This also shows that Li Jing's control over the overall battle situation has definitely reached a level that can be called terrifying.
War is naturally not as simple as having more people. Sometimes more people will not help, but may have a counterproductive effect.
Although Wang Mang's army is large in number, there are only more than 40,000 elites after all, and the remaining 40,000 are weak troops.
Nearly half of the 80,000-strong army are weak troops. These people will definitely hinder the coordination of the Union Army. The mixed command of the two phases will make the Union Army look bloated.
Among Li Jing's nearly 60,000 Beihai Qin troops, there were also nearly 20,000 weak Liangshan troops who surrendered. However, he took the initiative to abandon this army and only led 40,000 main troops to fight Wang Mang.
The reason why Li Jing did this was to ensure the overall quality of the entire army as much as possible, because he knew that the uneven quality of soldiers would definitely hinder the mobilization efficiency of the entire army.
In this kind of high-intensity war, mobilization orders are extremely frequent. The elite can complete the orders perfectly, but the weak army obviously cannot adapt to such high-frequency dispatch. Once there is a mistake in any link, the entire army will be exposed. Come.
Li Jing's bet was that Wang Mang's 80,000 strong and weak mixed army could not keep up with the speed of mobilization of the army under his command, and if he fell behind in one step, he would fall behind every step.
After reading this thousand-word battle report, Qin Hao couldn't help but clapped his legs and applauded. This battle was indeed so beautiful. If any link went wrong, Li Jing might not be able to replicate the record of 40,000 men defeating 80,000 men head-on.
In fact, the dangers of this battle were far more dangerous than what was written in the battle report.
Among the Northern Han Allied Army, there were four senior commanders: Chen Qingzhi, Zhou Yafu, Zhu Tianpeng and Shajuan Lian. Didn't they all know the shortcomings of the Allied Army?
No, they all know.
It’s just that they don’t think that this small flaw will ruin the entire army. Instead, they think that as long as it is done properly, it will be fine.
Facts have proved: A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest!
Wang Mang was cautious enough, but under Li Jing's deliberate and repeated targeting, the weaknesses of the Northern Han United Army were magnified tenfold, which ultimately led to such a disastrous defeat.
——————
Qingzhou, the junction of Beihai and Liangshan.
Li Jing personally led the army to pursue Wang Mang, and once again defeated Wang Mang, killing more than a thousand enemies and capturing 20,000 prisoners. Wang Mang led nearly 20,000 troops and continued to flee.
“Report to the prefect, General Zhou Yu, has captured Liangshanbo, and Wang Mang’s remnant army has become homeless.”
"here you go."
Li Jing shouted excitedly, and immediately ordered: "Send the order to the entire army to continue the pursuit."
)
How could Zhou Yu appear in Liangshanbo? Let me tell you slowly.
Wang Mang was also frightened by Li Jing's scheme, so he fought this battle very cautiously. He directly listened to Chen Qingzhi's suggestion and divided the 70,000 infantry into three groups, with 30,000 in the center and 20,000 in the left and right armies.
Twenty thousand Liao troops were given to the left and right armies, while all 20,000 Zhao troops stayed in the central army, trying to balance the overall combat strength of the army as much as possible.
In addition, Wang Mang also asked Chen Qingzhi to lead the left army and Zhou Yafu to lead the right army. He and Zhu Tianpeng were in charge of the central army. This arrangement was perfect and basically guaranteed that there would never be any wrong orders.
What Wang Mang didn't expect was that it was of little use if they didn't make mistakes. They had to make sure that their subordinates didn't make mistakes either.
After the decisive battle began, Ju Wuba was blocked by the Liangshan Five Tigers, while Xia Luqi faced off against the brothers Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang, and Shajuan Lian and Zhu Tianpeng joined forces to fight against Jintai. The Qin army still has one **** of war, Huang Feihu, who is unstoppable.
Under Li Jing's repeated maneuvers, the Northern Han Army, which could not keep up with the speed, suffered some command confusion.
Huang Feihu took advantage of the chaos in the enemy's mobilization and led the cavalry in a rampage, disrupting the enemy's central army in one fell swoop, thus establishing the victory of this battle.
Seeing that the battle situation was getting more and more unfavorable, Zhu Tianpeng immediately prepared to mobilize the navy, but the Qi navy was blocked by Zhou Yu's Yellow River navy. Only then did Zhu Tianpeng know that Zhou Yu had not returned to Sizhou.
The two sides fought a naval battle with each other winning or losing, but the situation on land was getting worse and worse.
In the end, the Chinese army was defeated first. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Mang decisively chose to withdraw his troops. However, the two sides had already become a group. It was not easy to withdraw.
With no choice but to cut off his tail to survive, Wang Mang abandoned nearly 30,000 troops, only to save 40,000 troops.
It is difficult for soldiers to retreat, but it is even more difficult for generals to retreat.
Ju Wuba was almost killed by the Five Tigers of Liangshan and survived several times before escaping.
Shaluqi was even worse. He was entangled by the two gods of war and couldn't even escape.
Had "Iron Spear" Wang Yanzhang not arrived in time and the two of them had activated the combination skill "Four Divine Spears", Xia Ruqi would have died directly in the battle.
Zhu Tianpeng and Shajuanlian also had combination skills, and after they were activated, they completely suppressed Jintai. However, Jintai was not an ordinary **** of war. Although he was always at a disadvantage, he still resisted tenaciously until the end.
In the end, although the Qin army killed 30,000 enemies, it also suffered 10,000 casualties, and several generals were also killed in the battle.
Zhang Shun was shot to death by Qi general Jing Yanguang with an arrow during the battle with Zhou Yushui;
When Cao Zheng was fighting between Wang Yantong and Tai Shici, he was about to attack Wang Yantong but was discovered instead. As a result, he was shot to death.
Hu Yanzan was even more unlucky. He was the first to bump into Xia Luqi, and was killed with two shots.
This time Qin Hao summoned a total of four Liangshan generals. Except for Shi Wengong, the other three were all killed in the battle.
In addition, Huang Feihu's four sworn brothers, Huang Ming, Zhou Ji, Long Huan and Wu Qian, joined forces to kill Ju Wu Ba. However, only one of the four was a divine general and he had no combination skills. In the end, Juwuba killed two of them alone.
Huang Ming and Zhou Ji, who were at the super first-class level, died directly at the hands of Ju Wu Ba, while Long Huan and Wu Qian were rescued by Lu Junyi and Guan Sheng.
In this battle, although the Qin army defeated the enemy with a small number and a large number, five generals were killed in the battle, and the enemy generals also suffered many casualties.
General Yang Shihou of Qi was a famous general of the Later Liang Dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period. He had a surprise attack on Chang'an, defeated Liu Zhijun, defeated Li Cunxu, etc. He was the best even among the great generals.
It is a pity that Yang Shihou faced Huang Feihu, and within three rounds, he was directly killed by Huang Feihu.
Yan general Xun She, a general during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, was killed by Tai Shi Ci with several shots.
Chen Youren, Chen Youliang's younger brother, who had taken refuge with Wang Mang, shot Huang Feibao, Huang Feihu's younger brother, with a hidden arrow, and was later killed by the furious Huang Feihu's second son, Huang Tianlu.
