Chapter 2571: Huo Qubing fights against Longcheng, Jiang Songqiang takes the lead
Huo Qubing did encounter a lot of setbacks when he went out to the fortress this time because of the heavy rain blocking the road in the early stage. However, after that, the battle was extremely smooth. The reason was Boyan.
As the commander-in-chief who defeated the Southern Song Dynasty, there is no doubt about Boyan's ability, but compared with Huo Qubing who sealed the wolf in Xu, there is obviously still a certain gap, let alone Huo Qubing who was assisted by Wei Qing.
If Huo Qubing fights Wei Qing Cavalry, once the combo skill "Golden Arms and Iron Horse" is activated, even Bai Qi may have to temporarily avoid the edge.
The biggest difference between Huo Qubing and Yue Fei and Zhang Liao is that even if Murong Ke and Kublai Khan are not as capable, under various increases, they are only slightly inferior to Yue Fei and Zhang Liao. It is not easy to win.
But Boyan's basic commander is only 97, which is the lowest commander among the three-way Yuan army. Even if the commander skill is fully activated, he can only barely reach 100.
Even if the combination of generals under Boyan's command increased Boyan's command points a lot after activating the combination skills, compared with the divine combination of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, the gap in ability values is still too big.
This is also the main reason why Huo Qubing was the last to join the battle, but he was able to defeat Boyan, who had 60,000 troops with 20,000 cavalry, and drove him back to Mobei.
Huo Qubing performed normally, but his opponent was not good enough. Even with three times the strength, he was still no match for him.
After being defeated in a row, Boyan also realized that he was no match for Huo Qubing. In order to stop the loss, he could only take the initiative to retreat to Mobei, but he did not expect that Huo Qubing would come after him.
Mobei is different from Monan. It is the base camp of Yuan and Meng. Five of the nine cities of Yuan and Meng were built here, and Boyan can also mobilize more troops here.
Huo Qubing had only 20,000 troops in his hands, yet he dared to directly kill the Mobei area, which was equivalent to directly stabbing Yuanmeng's home base. He was very courageous.
Huo Qubing naturally knew the risks of doing so. If Kublai Khan and Murong Ke were here, he would naturally not dare to lead such a small number of people into Mobei.
But now that Kublai Khan and Murong Ke were held back by Yue Fei and Zhang Liao respectively, Yuan Meng had only one Wokuotai who could retain Longcheng except Boyan.
Huo Qubing speculated that after he led his army into Mobei, he would encounter more enemy troops, but his opponent would still be his defeated general Boyan.
It was too easy to win in Monan. Huo Qubing no longer paid attention to Boyan, a defeated general. Even if the opponent had four to five troops greater than his own, he was sure to defeat him, so he dared to march into Mobei without hesitation.
Huo Qubing originally did not plan to win alone, but planned to call Mao Dun to join him. After all, although Mao Dun was almost crippled by Boyan, he still had 15,000 troops at his disposal, and it would be a boost to follow him waving flags and shouting.
But Mao Dun is not Hu Hanxie.
Hu Hanxie would listen to Zhang Liao and cooperate with the Qin army in the coordinated battle because Chifeng City was lost.
Wuhai City guarded by Maodun was saved by Huo Qubing in time when it was almost attacked by Boyan.
Shengle City was ceded to Da Qin, Chifeng City was dedicated to Kublai Khan by Liu Zheng, and only Wuhai City is left in Maodun.
The city is still there and the siege has been relieved. Maodun, which has already suffered heavy losses, naturally cannot follow Huo Qubing to fight with Boyan.
Although Mao Dun was unwilling to take the risk of sending troops to Mobei, he also knew that if he did not contribute any force, he would not be able to explain to Huo Qubing, so he agreed to Huo Qubing to help him contain the Yuan army in the direction of Orcheng.
Huo Qubing thought that this was okay, at least he didn't have to worry about his retreat being cut off, so he led his army to attack Mobei. Waiting for him in front were the two armies of Boyan and Wokuotai.
Although Boyan's 60,000-strong army was defeated by Huo Qubing, there were still nearly 40,000 troops. They originally retreated to Mobei to rest and recuperate, but they didn't expect Huo Qubing to be so aggressive. A mere 20,000-strong army dared to invade Mobei. Too much bullying.
Bo Yan was not convinced by the defeat in the first place. He felt that Huo Qubing defeated him with the help of advanced equipment. Now that Huo Qubing was about to fight at his doorstep, naturally he would not give up?
On the surface, Boyan pretended to be calm, but secretly he mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses from five cities including Longcheng and Wulan, totaling 90,000 troops, preparing to encircle and annihilate Huo Qubing in Mobei.
Maodun had an internal agent in the Xuanjing Division and knew Boyan's secret arrangements very well, so he was extremely unfavorable about Huo Qubing's battle.
Even though Huo Qubing had already defeated 20,000 soldiers and 60,000 soldiers, Mao Dun still didn’t think that Huo Qubing could defeat Boyan and Wokuotai’s 90,000 troops alone this time.
Not optimistic or not, but as an ally, Monon still fulfilled his obligation to send intelligence to Huo Qubing's illness, and help 10,000 reinforcements in the direction of Er City.
Modun decided to take a gamble. If Huo Qubing won this battle, he would take advantage of the situation and capture Or City, which would also help him regain some blood.
If Huo Qubing loses, Maodun only has Wuhai City in hand, and it will definitely not be able to hold it sooner or later. It is better to abandon the city altogether, flee to the Western Regions with military and civilian supplies, and seek other development.
Although Mao Dun was not optimistic about Huo Qubing, he still hoped that Huo Qubing would win. After all, Huo Qubing won and Yuanmeng suffered heavy losses. Only then did he have the opportunity to regain the power of Yuanmeng from Kublai Khan.
But what Huo Qubing did next was even confusing to Maodun.
Huo Qubing, who originally had a small number of troops, actually divided his troops after attacking Mobei. This made Mao Dun feel that Huo Qubing was in trouble, but in fact this was a decision made unanimously by Huo Qubing and Wei Qing after discussion.
Bo Yan's 80,000 troops are encircling him. It is not a good idea to fight head-on. Moreover, if all the Qin troops gather together, they will easily become the target of the Yuan army.
On the other hand, if Huo Qubing divides his troops, he will have more space to maneuver and disrupt the Yuan army's deployment.
Neither Boyan nor Wokuotai expected that Huo Qubing would divide his troops, and because they didn't know where Huo Qubing's main force was, they were caught off guard.
Not only was Huo Qubing able to break through the siege, but he also lost the two encounters in which he had the upper hand, with a total loss of nearly 8,000 troops.
The most terrible thing was not the loss of troops, but the fact that both the Wei and Huo armies went straight to Longcheng.
Longcheng is the capital of Yuan and Meng, and absolutely no mistakes are allowed.
Now 20,000 Qin troops are about to approach the city, but there are only 10,000 defenders in Longcheng. This makes Boyan and Wokuotai very anxious, and they both urge the army to advance at full speed, and they must reach Longcheng before the front army.
The strange thing is that the Yuan army is a nation on horseback and should be better at riding, but no matter how hard they chase, they can't catch up with the Qin army.
Huo Qubing’s army originally consisted of one person and two horses, plus: Riding God, Jin Ge, Iron Horse, Jin Ge and Iron Horse. These are the speed increases of the four skills.
Bo Yan and Wokuotai's army only have one skill increase. Once Huo Qubing's army escapes from the encirclement, it will be extremely difficult to catch up.
In the end, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing successfully completed their rendezvous outside Longcheng, leaving Boyan and Wokuotai far behind.
“Grand Governor, Dragon City has arrived, attack the city quickly.”
Except for Wei Qing and Jiang Song, who were relatively calm, Luo Cheng, Ding Yanping, Su Xian, Cheng Yaojin and other generals all looked at Huo Qubing with fiery faces. Apparently, they did not expect that their 20,000 troops would really be under the leadership of the governor. Hit Dragon City.
If we can still attack the capital of Yuan and Meng, it will be worth it even if we destroy all the 20,000 troops. Just by seeing the towering walls of Dragon City and the defensive equipment scattered on the towers, Huo Qubing knew that this city was not that easy to defeat. It was probably impossible to defeat it by himself. After all, they were all cavalry and had no siege equipment.
Huo Qubing subconsciously glanced at Wei Qing and saw that he was shaking his head at him, so he immediately gave up his plan to storm Dragon City.
But it was a rare visit to Dragon City, and it would be a pity not to even try it out, so Cheng Yaojin went to challenge.
At this time, the guard of Longcheng was Menglike, the orphan of Temujin's father, who was known as the 1,000th household in Yuanmeng.
Meng Li Ke saw the Qin army showing off its power outside the city, and the person who came to challenge was Cheng Yaojin. He immediately gathered his troops and prepared to fight, but was persuaded by Brother Yelvxiu.
Brother Yelvxiu said that this was Huo Qubing's deliberate attempt to lure his army into battle, and he was preparing to seize the city. When Prime Minister Boyan returned with his army, the end of the Qin army outside the city would come, so he should ignore it.
Monlik also felt that it made sense, so he gave up the idea of going to war.
Huo Qubing saw that no matter how many horses he mounted, the defenders in the city would not be fooled, so he also took the initiative to withdraw his troops and recharge his batteries until the arrival of Boyan's army.
Two days later, Boyan and Wokuotai returned to Longcheng, but Huo Qubing had already led his army to escape.
Bo Yan and Wo Kuotai hurriedly led their troops to pursue them, but they did not know that they were chasing only a partial division.
At this time, Huo Qubing's main force was really a hundred miles south of Longcheng, waiting for work and waiting for Boyan's arrival.
“Report to the Grand Governor that the Yuan army is still thirty miles away from our army.”
“Report...The Yuan army is still twenty miles away from our army.”
“Report...The Yuan army is still ten miles away from our army.”
Seeing that the Yuan army slowed down and began to form troops, Huo Qubing silently returned the telescope and ordered: "The Yuan army has arrived. Success or failure depends on this. Send the order and the whole army will attack."
)
“General, are you going to start the war without making arrangements?” Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion.
"No need, the Yuan army has been marching at high intensity for many days and is exhausted, while our army is waiting for work.
Therefore, our army does not need any tactics in this battle. We only pay attention to two words, that is, fast and fierce.
It was so fast that the Yuan army could not react. So fierce that he defeated the Yuan army in one battle. "
"this…"
This time not only Cheng Yaojin, but also Luo Cheng, Qin Yi, Xiao Yan and other generals were dumbfounded, so they charged directly without arranging their troops.
Only Wei Qing's eyes were full of approval, obviously seeing Huo Qubing's intention.
Huo Qubing did not have any intention to explain to the generals, so he directly raised his gun and shouted: "Kill..."
【Ding dong, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing combined their skills, 'Golden Arms and Iron Horse' effect 2 is activated, both commanders have +1, and all the cavalry under their command have +1 strength;
Effect 3 of ‘Golden Arms and Iron Horse’ is activated. When the enemy’s strength is more than double ours, both commanders will gain +1 again, and the entire army’s strength will gain +1 again;
Hence, the current commander of the entire army is +2, and the military force of the entire army is +2;
Huo Qubing’s basic commander: 100 (+1), Cavalry God Commander +2, Iron Horse Commander +2, Jin Ge Iron Horse Commander +2, and the current commander has increased to 106;
Huo Qubing’s basic strength: 104 (+3), Spear God +4, Cavalry God +4+1, Iron Horse +4, Jin Ge Iron Horse +2, the current strength has increased to 119;
Jiang Song’s commander-in-chief has increased to 85, and his military force has increased to...
Qin Wu…
…]
Huo Qubing took the lead and formed an arrow with Jiang Song and Qin Wu to charge at the forefront of the army.
The seven generals Wei Qing, Luo Cheng, Ding Yanping, Su Xian, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Yi, and Xiao Yan led their respective armies, following Huo Qubing's footsteps and charging behind.
Boyan and Wokuotai originally wanted to arrange their troops, but they didn't expect that the Qin army had already rushed over before they were ready, so they had to rush to fight.
With the increase of the Golden Arms and Iron Horses, the Qin army's military force is +2, and its combat power has increased dramatically. In addition, the reinforcements who were killed directly were overwhelmed.
In just a moment, the vanguard of the Yuan army collapsed first. The Qin army was like a sharp sword, piercing into the heart of the Yuan army, and its momentum was as strong as breaking bamboo, as if it was entering an uninhabited land.
Such a fierce offensive by the Qin army blinded both Boyan and Wokuotai, but they also knew the principle of using one force to defeat another, so they decisively ordered their troops to be surrounded from both wings, preparing to use their superiority in strength to kill them. Qin army.
But what Boyan and Wo Kuotai didn't expect was that the Qin army's offensive was too fast and fierce. Often their orders were conveyed but before they could be implemented, the Qin army had already defeated another reinforcement, and Changing the position required Boyan and Wokuotai to change military orders.
This back and forth has wasted time, and it has not had any effect, so the order will soon be changed again.
More and more new orders were issued, and the Yuan army became more and more confused. It fell into a state of chaos, and nearly 80,000 troops were in chaos.
The Qin army would not miss such a good opportunity, and Jiang Song even broke away from the army, entered the Yuan army alone, and rushed to the front of Wokuotai.
Seeing Wo Jiangsong getting closer and closer, Wo Kuotai was also frightened. He kept retreating and at the same time commanded the army to go up. However, the Yuan army was already in chaos, and no one except his own soldiers rushed up.
“Quick, quick, block him, block him quickly…”
Before Wo Kuotai finished speaking, Jiang Song had already jumped up from his horse, jumped over a dozen guards in the air, and then directly pierced Wo Kuotai's throat with a gun.
The younger brother of Temujin, the first Yuan Emperor, and currently the second most powerful figure in Yuan and Meng Dynasties, King Youxian Wokuotai, died tragically under Jiang Song's gun.
