Chapter 1596: War Book

Zhu Tianpeng was forced to make such an arrangement, after all, after the Qi army suffered a water attack, although there were still 25,000 troops left, but the morale had fallen to the bottom, and it was impossible to give full play to the combat power it should have.

The Qi army in such a state, even if it continues to insist on going north, is definitely not the opponent of the Qin army, rather than running over to send the head, it is better to return to repair to restore combat strength.

The reason why the navy army was left was also because only the navy was not severely damaged by the water attack, and its morale was basically not affected much, and it was the only army left in Zhu Tianpeng's hands that could fight a tough battle.

Li Jing, who returned to Beihai, thought that Zhu Tianpeng should retreat in the face of difficulties, but he also learned that the Qi army did not retreat completely, but left behind 10,000 sailors, and he was also extremely surprised.

After all, even if Wang Mang defeated Li Jing, it would be impossible for Qi to annex Beihai alone, not to mention that even if the two sides joined forces, they might not necessarily capture Beihai, so retreating in time was the best way to stop loss.

But Zhu Tianpeng not only did not retreat, but left 10,000 sailors, but did not continue to go north to provoke the Qin army, even Li Jing did not understand his intentions for a while.

After pondering for a long time, Li Jing felt that the reason why Zhu Tianpeng did not retreat was probably because the Qi army lost this battle was too aggrieved.

Therefore, leaving 10,000 sailors is just for show, in order to save the last face.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, if Zhu Tianpeng didn't come to provoke him, he would naturally not be idle and take the initiative to offend the other party.

"The Qi army is no longer a concern, but for this 10,000 water army, you must not be careless."

Li Jing was as cautious as ever, and immediately ordered: "Send more spies in the direction of the Yellow River, and be sure to ensure that the movements of this 10,000-strong naval army are under the control of our army." ”

"No."

Seeing this, Li Jing nodded and asked left and right, "Wang Mang and the sand curtain have converged?" ”

Jintai stood up and reported: "Qi Yu Taishou, just one day before Taishou returned, the army of Sha Roll Blind had arrived in Liang State and merged with Wang Mang. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go directly to Wang Mang."

A glimmer of light flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he sneered: "Seven days later, General Ben Taishou led the whole army to fight a decisive battle with Wang Mang's army at the junction of Liangshan and Beihai, and the victory was decided in one battle. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were stunned, and Tai Shici stood up and asked, "Lord Taishou?" And this is the decisive battle? Don't do a little more preparation? ”

All the generals nodded when they heard this, after all, although the Qin army won two games in a row, its overall strength was still weaker than Wang Mang's Hebei United Army, so the decisive battle in such a game was a little too hasty.

"Ready? What to prepare. ”

Li Jing laughed, and then explained: "The 80,000 army in Wang Mang's hands is just a patchwork army, and the comprehensive quality is uneven, how strong can it exert its combat power?"

Although our army only has 60,000 troops, of which more than 20,000 are still surrendered, but they have defeated Liangshan and Qi in a row, and now the morale has reached its peak, even if it is a head-to-head duel, it will definitely not lose, so when will it not be a decisive battle at this time? ”

Hearing Li Jing say this, all the generals showed a sudden expression, it turned out that unconsciously, the balance of strength between the enemy and me had been reversed, even if it was a frontal hard bar, the Qin army was not intimidated at all.

"But Taishou, will Wang Mang fight?" Ran Min asked.

"Yes."

A hint of discoloration flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said firmly: "This is Wang Mang's only chance, if our army is defended, it is absolutely impossible to capture Beihai City with only the 80,000 army put together in Wang Mang's hands, so this is Wang Mang's only chance, and he will definitely face it."

What's more, Wang Mang has an army of 80,000 in his hands, and his strength is 20,000 more than our army. ”

——————————

Liangshanbo, in the camp of the Northern Han United Army.

Looking at Li Jing's war book in his hand, Wang Mang's face was wonderful.

Half a month ago, the coalition forces were still crushing Li Jing, but during the period when Wang Mang and other sand curtain armies were in place, Li Jing used a pinnacle strategy to defeat Zhu Tianpeng with a water attack, and there were only more than 25,000 people left in the 70,000 Qi army.

Although Wang Mang has 80,000 combined troops on his side, the comprehensive combat power of the army he has also cobbled together is definitely not comparable to Zhu Tianpeng's 70,000 elite Qi army.

Therefore, among the anti-Qin coalition forces, Zhu Tianpeng is undoubtedly the hardest bone, and Wang Mang is the soft persimmon relatively speaking.

As far as common sense is concerned, even if Li Jing wants to deal with it, he must deal with Wang Mang first, and then deal with the stronger Qi army.

However, Li Jing did not take the usual path, and did not fight the weaker Wang Mang, but first dealt with the stronger Zhu Tianpeng, and crossed the Yellow River four times and flooded the Qi army, which simply defeated the stronger Qi army.

In this regard, Wang Mang only has one sentence to say: This is too fierce.

In just one month, Li Jing first fought against Liangshan with 30,000 troops, annihilated the main force of Liangshan and killed Song Jiang, and then used 5,000 naval troops to duel against 70,000 Qi troops, crossed the Yellow River four times, flooded Qi State, and finally defeated Zhu Tianpeng.

This is a bunker!

Li Jing simply brought the war-seeking faction to the extreme, even if it was Bai Qi and Han Xin, I am afraid that he would not be able to do it as easily as him.

In the face of Li Jing's active challenge, Wang Mang was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he had lost to Bai Qi before, and now of course he was afraid that he would lose to Li Jing.

And if he loses again this time, Wang Mang may really have no chance to rise, so of course he must be cautious and cautious.

"Qingzhi, you said Li Jing's war letter, should we accept it or not?" Wang Mang asked with a solemn face.

"Pick it up."

Chen Qingzhi nodded helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "This is the only chance for our army to defeat Li Jing, if we are weak, once Li Jing defends Beihai, even if I am exhausted with my current strength, I am afraid that I will not be able to defeat Beihai." ”

"But if you take it, can you win?"

"This ...... Among the 80,000 troops of our army, although there are 30,000 recruits, among the 60,000 troops of the Qin army, there are also 20,000 troops who surrender to the army in a decisive battle, and the chance of victory for our army is 60%. ”

"But the Qin army has defeated Liangshan and the Qi army in a row, and now the morale may have reached its peak, and I am afraid that the decisive battle with the Qin army at this time will be at a loss."

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi didn't know what to say, after all, the loss was certain.

"Report ...... Enlightening the lord, there was an urgent letter from the king of Qi from the Qi country. ”

"Hurry up."

After taking it apart and taking a look, Wang Mang's face suddenly changed, and then he showed a look of ecstasy, and said, "Why didn't I think of it." ”

"Lord, what didn't you expect?" Chen Qingzhi asked.

Wang Mang didn't answer, and said with a mysterious smile: "Li Jing's tactics, I, Wang Mang, took it, and passed the order, and seven days later, the whole army attacked and fought to the death with Li Jing." ”
