Chapter 2744: Three **** battles in five days, with mountains of bones piled up

Yelu Deguang broke through two small realms in a row, which was the moment when his combat power was at his strongest, and Meng Tian was not a strong general known for his bravery, so he was naturally full of confidence in this battle.

But after actually fighting Meng Tian, ​​Yelu Deguang realized that he was wrong.

Although Meng Tian does not have a more prominent record of killing generals, his strength is not weak at all. Even if he tries his best, it will be difficult to defeat him in a short time.

Yelu Deguang, who had just broken through, was full of confidence and naturally did not think that Meng Tian had the strength to compete with him. He attributed his inability to win to the fact that he consumed too much energy in the two battles between Mu Zha and Yang Ren.

Although Yelu Deguang made an excuse for himself, it was also true that he could not capture Mengtian in the short term. How should he attack the morale of the Qin army?

The Qin army is now becoming more and more tenacious on the battlefield. It is difficult for the 150,000 allied troops to defeat it, but its own casualties are increasing.

Now that the two sides have fought a war of attrition, and the Qin army has fewer casualties than the coalition forces, it can continue to drag on.

But if the coalition forces continue to fight like this, once it gets dark, both sides will have to temporarily stop fighting and wait until dawn to fight again, and this will undoubtedly give the Qin army a chance to breathe.

 The first day of the battle was undoubtedly when the coalition forces were at their strongest. If they could not defeat the Qin army on the first day, then subsequent battles would only be more difficult.

After all, after the brutal battle on the first day, the coalition's combat effectiveness will definitely decline. It is no longer possible to defeat the Qin army. They can only rely on human lives to consume the Qin army bit by bit until it is completely defeated, and the casualties will definitely be direct. Defeat the Qin army several times.

Yelu Deguang naturally hopes that the coalition forces can defeat the Qin army in one go, so that the Qiang army pays the lowest price. However, the current battle situation is that he cannot defeat Meng Tian, ​​and the Qiang army and Tubo army on the left and right wings cannot defeat Wang Zhongsi and Li Jue. This also brought the war between the two sides into a complete stalemate.

Yelu Deguang and Meng Tian fought for fifty rounds. Although they had the upper hand many times, the advantage was not too great. But as long as this trend could be maintained, Meng Tian could be defeated in a hundred rounds.

Yelu Deguang could only defeat him. The difference in force between the two sides was only two points. He was also consumed a lot of energy by Mu Zha and Yang Ren. Being able to defeat him was already his limit. Killing him would not be possible at all. possible.

When the battle reached the 80th round, Yelu Deguang gained the upper hand. Just when he was full of confidence and thought he could defeat Meng Tian, ​​after a fierce battle for most of the day, the Qin army once again reduced its strength by 10% and inspired Meng Tian's Yu Hu's effect 3.

【Ding dong, Meng Tian's skill "Yu Hu" effect 3 is activated. When fighting against foreigners, when serving as the main general, for every 10% reduction in the number of troops under his command, the entire army, including generals and soldiers, will gain +1 strength.

 Currently: Meng Tian’s force has increased to 122;

 Jin Zha’s military strength rose to...

Wang Zhongsi…

Li Jue…

  …]

After Meng Tian received another 1 point of force blessing from ‘Yu Hu’, the force gap between Meng Tian and Yelu Deguang has been narrowed to 1 point.

 In a God of War-level duel, a 1-point difference in force is often crucial.

 But Yelu Deguang has been consumed by Mu Zha and Yang Ren successively, so the difference in force is not obvious.

In the next twenty rounds, Meng Tian not only stabilized the situation, but also regained part of the situation. However, the battle could not continue because it was already dark.

The allied forces of Da Qin and Sui Tuqiang have been fighting for nearly six hours from the beginning of the war at Chen Shi to the current Youshi, and the forces of both sides are constantly being reduced.

It is getting dark now. If the war continues, the Qin army will only have more than 30,000 people. It is naturally very easy to command the night battle, but the coalition army has more than 100,000 people.

With Yang Xingmi's 95 points of command, it would be difficult for him to command an army of 150,000 during the day, let alone fight at night.

Yang Xingmi knew very well that with his ability, he simply could not command so many troops to fight at night, and forceful command would only make the coalition more chaotic, so he chose Ming Jin very rationally.

Although doing so will give the Qin army a breathing space and require a higher price to defeat the Qin army, it is still hundreds of times better than forcing a night battle and falling into chaos and being defeated by the Qin army.

After hearing the golden sound from the coalition forces, Yelu Deguang, who was still fighting fiercely with Meng Tian, ​​sighed with a tired look on his face, and then said harshly: "Meng Tian, ​​you are lucky this time, but you will not be so good next time. Good luck."

 After saying that, he chose to retreat without looking back.

Meng Tian looked at Yelv Deguang's leaving figure and neither pursued him nor ordered the army to pursue him. After all, after nearly six hours of continuous fierce fighting, the Qin army was already very tired. Continuing to fight would not do much to the Qin army. Benefits, so he also ordered the troops to retreat.

Both the Qin army and the coalition forces tacitly chose to pay tribute and choose another day to fight again, while counting the casualties on the first day of the battle.

It doesn't matter if this is not calculated. After some calculations, even Meng Tian was shocked.

He had expected that the casualties would be huge, but he did not expect that the first day of the battle alone would result in nearly nine thousand casualties, of which six thousand were directly killed, including: the **** general Ding Yanping, Three first-class generals including Bu Ji, and twelve first-class generals including Li Heng and Li Li.

Except for Wu Ji, the two top-notch generals who died in the battle were named Wang Kuan and Li Jia.

The two of them were selected to be trained in the Nine Dragon Guards because of their clean financial status, bravery in combat, and good martial arts qualifications.

Both of them came from poor families, and they knew how precious the opportunity to change their names was, so they worked hard after joining the Nine Dragons Guards, and finally successfully graduated and became the first batch of Nine Dragons Guards officers.

After so many military careers, the two of them not only improved greatly in strength, but also were promoted quickly. One became a brigadier general, and the other was a senior colonel. Although they did not have a title, they were already relatively well-off among their comrades in the same period. of.

These two people are Meng Tian's confidants, and the future will not be limited to this. Even if they cannot be made a marquis, they can still be made a viscount or a baron.

 But they were not very lucky and happened to catch up with the Battle of Buffalo Mountain. This was one of the rare tough battles in which the Qin army was at an absolute disadvantage since the Qin army expanded its army.

On the first day alone, nearly a quarter of the troops were killed or injured, and even Ding Yanping, a veteran general at the level of a **** general, was killed, and Yang Ren, the **** of war, almost fell, not to mention Wang Kuan and Li Jia. These two are superb.

 Da Qin has the most resources in the world, the largest variety and quantity of exercises, and the most complete talent selection and training system. Naturally, there will be no shortage of independently trained talents.

There were actually many Wang Kuan and Li Jia in the Qin army, and among the other twelve first-class generals who died in the battle, there were also many officers who rose from the bottom.

It's just that there is obviously a gap between these people who were independently trained by Da Qin compared with those people whose names are recorded in history books. They can't be included in the books at all, so naturally they don't have much fame.

After all, there are only a few generals such as Qin Yu, Qin Lie, Shi Long, and Mu Feng who can stand out.

 In addition to the above casualties, eight generals including Yang Ren and Li Siben were seriously injured and unable to participate in the subsequent battle.

 Mu Zha, Sun Chongjin, Baili Mingshi and many other generals were slightly injured.

You must know that the total strength of the Qin army was only 41,000. As a result, on the first day of the decisive battle, nearly a quarter of the troops and a fifth of the generals were lost. It can be said that there were heavy casualties.

If we rely on the remaining 32,000 troops to fight against the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, we can only last three days if we count the casualties on the first day.

Of course, the war is not calculated like this. If the Qin army really suffers more than half of its casualties, the Qin army's meager strength will not be able to block the coalition's offensive, and it will be defeated directly instead of dragging the war to the next day. .

The reason why the Qin army was able to fight a fierce frontal battle of 150,000 with an army of 41,000 and remain undefeated for a day was due to its strong overall combat power and good equipment. The main reasons were the following three points: First, Meng Tian’s high command and various arrangements;

 The second is the 2 points of group force blessing from Meng Tian and ‘Yu Hu’;

 The third one is the desperate battle between Meng Tian, ​​Yang Ren, Jin Zha, Muzha and other generals;

Without these three points, no matter who is in charge, it would be impossible to withstand an enemy force five times larger than our own in a field battle. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is too great, and the battle between 70,000 Sui troops and 50,000 Qiang troops is The strength is not weak either.

The first day of the battle was also the most difficult battle. Although Meng Tian was able to carry it through forcefully, the following battle was also very challenging. After all, if they really fought to the end, the Qin army would only be consumed by the coalition's numerical advantage. Almost exhausted.

 Meng Tian is not too worried about this, but he is not too worried because he has already passed the most difficult level and the cards he has retained are enough to solve the next problems.

As long as Li Jing's army arrives, the end of the coalition will naturally come, so he is not very worried about the next war.

When Meng Tian looked through the battle damage report, he unexpectedly discovered that even though Ding Yanping died in battle, not only did his unit have the lowest casualties among the entire army, but the battle results were also the highest among the entire army. He was immediately curious about Wang Zhongsi, who succeeded Ding Yanping.

On the first day of the battle at Bison Mountain, the former army suffered the most casualties. Of the 10,000 cavalrymen, a full 3,000 were lost, accounting for one-third of the total casualties.

  Followed by the 19,000 Chinese troops, they also suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

 The front army and the center army used 29,000 troops to resist the offensive of 90,000 coalition troops. Naturally, the casualties were the largest in the entire army.

However, there are only 6,000 troops on the left and right wings, but they have to fight against an enemy force five times their own, so the pressure is naturally not small.

However, after Wang Zhongsi succeeded Ding Yanping, he not only blocked the offensive of 30,000 Qiang troops, but suffered only 1,300 casualties in total, but killed nearly 3,000 Qiang troops.

 This battle damage ratio is even higher than that of Meng Tian.

It is natural for Wang Zhongsi to achieve such results. After all, the army under his command has received the blessing of double "Yu Hu".

Seeing Wang Zhongsi's strong performance, Meng Tian decided to take a risk and give him a chance. Not only did he replenish his 6,000 troops, but he also added 4,000 more, allowing him to command an army of 10,000 to serve as the main force in the upcoming war. It was this decision that made it possible to survive the difficulties that followed.

On the other side, after an inventory of the coalition forces, they found that the casualties were as high as 16,000, of which 11,000 were directly killed in battle, including: Gao Xiang, Gao Guiyi, Gao Guiyan, Yelu Anduan and ten others. Many generals.

 In addition, more than ten generals including Xiao Moke and Xiao Dilu were seriously injured.

After learning of the result, Yang Xingmi, Yang Xiong, Yelu Deguang, Xinolo Gonglu and others all fell silent. After all, the coalition forces were 150,000 against 40,000.

With an absolute advantage in military strength, three or four people fought against one, and the casualties were actually five thousand higher than the Qin army. This kind of battle loss ratio is really embarrassing.

The Tubo army, which had previously been arrogant and ignored the Qin army, suddenly lost its arrogance when it saw such a battle damage report.

 Among the three armies of Sui, Qiang, and Tubo, the Sui army suffered the most casualties. After all, the Sui army worked the hardest in this battle, followed by the Qiang army, and the Tubo army suffered the least casualties.

Due to terrain restrictions, 30,000 Tubo troops did not participate in the battle, and the 30,000 Tubo troops who participated were defeated steadily by Li Jue's 6,000 Qin troops.

This also made the Tubo army not only dare not be arrogant, but also felt deep awe of the Qin army, and understood why Da Qin was the overlord of the Central Plains, because the Qin army was really capable of fighting.

【Ding dong, Yang Xingmi commanded a 150,000 coalition army against Meng Tian's 40,000 Qin army, and there were no obvious mistakes, exceeding his own command limit, and the basic commander permanently +1;

Yang Xingmi: Commander 95 (+2), Force 94 (+2), Intelligence 87, Politics 95, Charisma 88 (+3);】

In the Battle of Buffalo Mountain, although the coalition forces fought very poorly, Yang Xingmi exceeded his own command limit, so his commander attribute actually improved.

Yang Xingmi saw that everyone was silent, knowing that they had all been hit by this battle, but the problem in front of them had to be solved.

After some discussion, Yelu Deguang proposed to gather elite troops and generals to defeat Meng Tian in the next battle. After all, Yang Ren had been seriously injured, and Meng Tian had to fight to stabilize the entire army.

Yang Xingmi thought about it and thought it made sense, so he decided to adopt it. However, the two sides did not start a fight the next day, but continued to rest and recover their physical strength.

The fight lasted for six hours on the first day. The physical exertion of the soldiers on both sides was extremely high. How could they fight again if they did not maintain their energy?

On the third day, the soldiers' physical strength was basically restored, so the two sides started fighting again.

Meng Tian led 32,000 Qin troops to fight against Yang Xingmi's 164,000 allied troops.

 The intensity of this battle was generally not as intense as that of the first day, but it was even more thrilling.

If Meng Tian had not adopted Wang Zhongsi as the main force, he might have been killed by Yelu Deguang.

But with Wang Zhongsi as the vanguard, and with the blessing of the double "Yu Hu", Meng Tian not only killed Yelu Yin Dishi, who was also a member of the Zhuzu rebellion and had a base strength of 100, but also almost defeated Yelu Deguang. .

In addition, Jin Zha killed Feng Xingzhi and Feng Yan's brothers, and Wang Zhongsi also killed Mangbuzhi, the Tubo general.

Due to the blessing of the double "Yu Hu", in the second battle, the Qin army lost no important generals, but it also suffered about 8,000 casualties, while the coalition forces lost about 14,000 troops.

The total casualties of the Qin army in the two battles have reached 17,000, and only 24,000 of the 41,000 troops before the war were left.

As for the coalition forces, although they suffered 30,000 casualties, they still had 150,000 troops, still occupying an absolute strength advantage.

Although the coalition forces suffered losses in two consecutive battles, it was an indisputable fact that the Qin army became weaker and weaker under constant attrition, so Yang Xingmi decided to rest for another day and then completely defeat Meng Tian with superior force.

On the fourth day, the two sides did not start a war and continued to recover. On the fifth day, the war also broke out as scheduled.

Meng Tian led 24,000 Qin troops to fight Yang Xingmi's 150,000 allied troops in three battles, but soon after the war began, they fell into decline.

The strength of the Qin army is too small. Facing an enemy army six times their own, the disadvantage in field battles is too great. If they are not careful, they will be surrounded by the enemy.

Meng Tian led his army to fight to the death. The Qin army under his command had killed nearly 20,000 horses in the Buffalo Mountains, and killed nearly 35,000 coalition troops. The bones were piled up in mountains and blood was like rivers, but it was still difficult to reverse the strength of both sides. gap.

Seeing that the Qin army's front was about to be breached by the coalition forces, 20,000 reinforcements led by Fu Cunshenque suddenly arrived on the battlefield, and this was Meng Tian's last trump card.

Neither Yang Xingmi nor Yelu Deguang expected that Fu Cunshen, who was trapped in Xining, would dare to leave the city, because once he left the city, Xining would not be protected, nor did they expect that Fu Cunshen could avoid the allied sentries and suddenly arrive on the battlefield.

But the fact is that not only did Fu Cunshe really dare to come, but he was not discovered by the coalition forces. The coalition forces were naturally caught off guard due to their lack of preparedness.

Meng Tian and Fu Cunshen joined forces to once again disrupt the coalition's offensive. Then came the good news that Li Jing led the Feixiong Army to defeat Lun Qin Ling, and that 50,000 reinforcements were about to arrive at Huangyuan City.

The Qin army’s counterattack horn also sounded.

The Western Front battlefield of the Sui Kingdom is about to reach its final stage. After the end, it will immediately return to the Eastern Front plot.
