Chapter 1640 The Southern Han Dynasty sends troops
Chapter 1638: Southern Han Dynasty sends troops
When he first saw that the battle damage ratio was 5.7:1, Qin Hao thought he could only get an SS rating. After all, the SSS rating must reach at least 10:1.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing's various operations in this battle, as well as the difficulty of winning this battle, finally brought the score to SSS level and obtained the gold summoning card.
To be honest, it was not easy for Li Jing to win the Battle of Beihai. There was even some luck involved.
Li Jing initially had only 40,000 troops in his hands. He faced up to 160,000 enemy troops and was surrounded on all sides. Logically speaking, it was impossible to turn defeat into victory.
However, Li Jing broke everyone's understanding. He took the initiative to attack even though he was at a disadvantage, and took advantage of the enemy forces to defeat them one by one before they merged, turning the disadvantage into an advantage bit by bit.
During this process, Li Jing also had an even more outrageous operation: recruiting enemy troops before the battle. As a result, the army under his command increased in number.
In ancient wars, once the casualties of soldiers were too great, there was nothing wrong with taking in prisoners to make up for the losses, but certainly no one would do this during a war.
The loyalty of prisoners is not guaranteed by law. If they are not handled well, they may even rebel in the face of battle.
Li Jing dared to recruit Liangshan prisoners of war because he had many Liangshan leaders headed by Chao Gai. They already had high prestige in the Liangshan army and could return Liangshan prisoners of war as soon as possible.
It was precisely because the addition of the Liangshan captive army made up for the lack of Qin army's strength that Li Jing was able to achieve the final victory.
Let’s put it this way, the Battle of Beihai is an unreplicable victory. If there is a mistake in any link, Li Jing may not become the final winner.
This war is basically Li Jing's personal show. Huang Feihu and his son, the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan, Jintai Taishi Ci and other generals all serve as green leaves to set off Li Jing's strength.
Even if Ran Min, a super general, died heroically in a single battle with the four war gods, he could only become an embellishment in this battle and could not cover up Li Jing's light in the slightest.
Li Jing, who became a **** in one battle.
Of course, Li Jing was not without his mistakes. Qin Hao didn't care about other minor mistakes, but the biggest mistake was at the end. Li Jing actually exposed the existence of the catapult just for the sake of the nearly 10,000 fleeing navy troops.
Qin Hao originally planned to keep water warfare weapons such as catapults until he went south in the future, and then use them to attack the southern navy when he crossed the Yangtze River, but he did not expect that they would be exposed so early.
With the exposure of the catapult, it is conceivable that the southern princes are destined to vigorously develop and imitate it.
Although the manufacture of catapults is not easy, there are many experienced shipbuilders in the south, so it may not be impossible to imitate them. By then, the Qin Navy will lose a magic weapon to win.
However, considering that Li Jing also wanted to get rid of Wang Mang and Zhu Tianpeng, two serious troubles once and for all, Qin Hao would not blame Li Jing for this.
"The decree is drawn up. Li Jing defeated the Northern Han coalition forces and greatly boosted the morale of our army. I specially named him the Marquis of Beihai and the General of Zhenbei." Qin Hao issued the decree.
Although the Hebei Campaign was not over and the three major battlefields were in a deadlock, Li Jing suddenly emerged and changed the situation in Qingzhou on his own. Such a great contribution was more than enough to make him a marquis.
Of course, this is only the preliminary canonization of Li Jing. Now he is rushing towards Julu and becomes the last straw that breaks the Julu battlefield.
Once the Julu battlefield is defeated, it will definitely affect the whole body. By then, the three major battlefields will be completely occupied, and the overall situation of the Hebei war will be decided.
Li Jing has become the key to the Hebei Campaign, so after the war is over, he will definitely receive new titles.
"My lord, now that the battle situation in Qingbei has been decided, our army's advantage in Hebei has increased, and now the Southern Han Dynasty may not be able to sit still." Zhuge Liang stood up and said: "Liang believes that Si and Jing should be allowed to defend the three states. General, be on guard against sudden invasion by the princes of the Southern Han Dynasty."
The Southern Han Dynasty was established to curb the expansion of the Qin Army. The reason why it did not send troops to assist the Northern Han Dynasty before was because it wanted both the Qin Army and the Northern Han Dynasty to suffer losses.
The Manchus also had the same idea.
But the development of things exceeded expectations. The sudden rise of Li Jing made the Qin army not only unable to lose both sides with the Northern Han Dynasty, but it was about to form a crushing force in Hebei. So you can imagine what the Southern Han Dynasty will do after they know the outcome of the Battle of Beihai. reaction.
“What Military Advisor Kong Ming said makes sense.”
Qin Hao nodded, thought for a while, and said: "If the Southern Han Dynasty really comes to invade, Sizhou and Bingzhou will be fine, but there may be some trouble in Jingbei."
Sizhou has a dangerous pass and an advantageous location, and Bingzhou is close to Hebei for easy transportation of reinforcements, while Jingbei borders the three forces of Shu, Chu and Tang. Once the armies of the three countries invade at the same time, the local defenders alone will definitely be unable to cope.
“Immediately send an order to Qin Zheng, the governor of Jingzhou, to prepare for battle to prevent a sudden attack by the Southern Han Dynasty.
In addition, let Qin Yong of Sizhou be ready to support Jingzhou at any time. If Jingzhou does not have enough troops, reinforcements must be sent as quickly as possible. "Qin Hao ordered in a deep voice.
Although Jingzhou was the place where Qin Hao started, as the strategic focus of the Qin army moved northward, fewer and fewer forces remained in Jingbei. On the contrary, the surrounding hostile forces became stronger and stronger.
What are the forces around Jingzhou? Huang Zu of Jiangxia, Liu Xiu of Jingnan, Liu Ji of Bashu, and Li Shimin of Hanzhong. Except for Huang Zu, the other three parties were all eyeing Jingzhou, and they all wanted to swallow up this precious land in northern Jingzhou.
Jingzhou was originally a place of four battles, easy to attack and difficult to defend. There were only a few fortified cities for defense, but they were surrounded by wolves, so it was naturally very difficult to defend.
Just when Qin Hao was discussing the safety of Jingzhou with everyone, the news that Li Jing defeated Wang Mang and unified Qingbei swept the whole world like a hurricane.
Most people in the world are surprised by Li Jing's commanding ability. With an army of 40,000 and an army of 40,000, he was able to defeat 160,000 almost perfectly despite being surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even if Sun Tzu was resurrected, it would be nothing more than that, right? At the same time, he lamented that the Qin army had another invincible commander who could rival Bai Qi.
The princes naturally thought much more than the people, especially the princes in the southern Han Dynasty. They were all frightened and angry.
Chengdu, after Liu Ji received the news, he immediately summoned his ministers for discussion.
At the meeting, Liu Ji sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, while Chen Ping stood up and said: "Everyone, Li Jing defeated Wang Mang's 160,000 troops with an army of 40,000. Now that the situation in Qingbei has been decided, Li Jing will also take over." Will lead the army to counterattack Jizhou, it is conceivable that the Qin army's advantage in Hebei will be further expanded. "
Liu Ji sighed and said: "I thought that the Qin army would fight the Northern Han Dynasty and both sides would lose, but I didn't expect that it would be like this in the end. Military advisor, what do you think we should do now?"
“Lord, if our army does not send troops to support us, Liu Che, Yuan Shao, Han Xin and others will definitely be no match for us, and the Qin army may really occupy Hebei completely.”
Chen Ping's eyes were full of solemnity and he said solemnly: "We must send troops to attack Qin."
As soon as the bottom is, I would like to thank the book friend Mo Luo Moro's 10,000 starting coins, plus more chapters. At present, there are five chapters.
