Chapter 2117 Breaking through Yanshan Mountain and beheading Tuoba Gui (Part 1)
Chapter 2115: Breaking Yanshan Mountain and beheading 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 Wei Qing has defeated three battalions in a row, and is only one battalion away from opening the Yanshan Mountain Road.
It is conceivable that although Tuoba Gui will not give up the remaining 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. Even Tuoba Gui and Jin Wushu will come to the fourth battalion in person, so there is little point in letting Xue Rengui stay in his original position.
In addition, Xue Rengui's troops are also reorganized, so they are 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 candidate for the commander-in-chief at the moment. 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 him.
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 elite 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 After all, Yanshan can be crossed from here, so the garrison can be reduced but not all withdrawn.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 once the frontline forces are stretched thin.
Under Tuoba Gui's operation, the fourth battalion's defenders 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 marshal Tuoba Gui, there are also famous generals such as Shan Shituo, Jin Wushu, Yang Dayan, and Tuoba Tao.
Tuobagui 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 battle of the third battalion was indeed a miserable defeat.
There were ten thousand defenders, but they couldn't defend it for even five days. Even the fifteenth Age Duduo was killed in the battle. Tuoba Tao, as the defender, naturally bears 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 he did not expect that Wei Qing would come.
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.
How could King Qin give such an order if he didn't have absolute trust?
At this thought, even Wei Qing, who had been full of resentment towards Qin Hao, felt a little moved in his heart. This feeling of being trusted is really intoxicating.
Wei Qing wanted to make this battle a good one, but he also knew that the fourth battalion was difficult to fight and was a tough one, so he had to wait for Xue Rengui to come and discuss it carefully.
Subsequently, Wei Qing left three thousand elite soldiers who were still intact, and transferred all the wounded and tired soldiers to the rear for repairs.
Two days later, Xue Rengui's 40,000-strong army arrived at the front line. Wei Qing personally led the generals out of the camp ten miles to greet him as a show of 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 performance. After all, Xue Dingshan was not yet twenty years old. When he was twenty, he was not as majestic as his son.
Of course, a father's love is like a mountain, and Xue Rengui is satisfied, but he will not show it directly. Instead, he will find faults in various ways to prevent Xue Dingshan from being proud and 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 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 bad as you said.”
Xue Dingshan had a wry smile on his face. There were so many comrades here, so my father didn’t save any face for himself.
"Shut up."
Xue Rengui glared at Xue Dingshan, and Xue Dingshan shut up obediently. The generals all laughed when they saw this.
"Brother Wei Qing, you are the commander-in-chief. Please 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 being a deputy to his subordinate, but now it seems that he has overthought it. Xue Rengui's mind is much bigger than he thought. ah.
“Tuoba Gui has mobilized troops from each battalion. Now Shanshi Tuo, Jin Wushu, and even Tuoba Gui are all in the fourth battalion. Therefore, if we want to break through the fourth battalion, we still need to discuss it carefully.”
As he said that, Wei Qing made an invitation gesture and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, let's go into the camp before we talk."
“Also good.”
Just as Wei Qing and Xue Rengui were discussing how to break through the fourth battalion, the Qing army was also discussing how to hold on. The one who had the most say in this was naturally Tuoba Tao, who had been defeated twice by Wei Qing.
“Everyone, Wei Qing is a man who uses both strength 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, then Bai Qi, who beat him to the point of being unable to fight back, would be invincible.
According to what you said, why didn't Qin Hao send a more powerful Bai Qi to attack the camp? If Bai Qi comes, wouldn't we all be dead? "
Seeing that the person who said this was actually Shanshituo, Tuoba Tao's brows suddenly frowned.
“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.
