Chapter 1329: Millions of Lives in World War I

[Ding Dong, the 'Battle of the Hetao' is completely over, and the final inventory begins......

The 'Battle of Hetao' began with Temujin's troops at Yanmen Pass and ended with the surrender of the 150,000 slave army, including:

Murong Ke used Daoliangzhou to attack the Hetao

Qu Yuan stubbornly defended Yinchuan

Yang Liulang stubbornly guarded the north pass of the town

Yang Ye vs. Murong Ke

Wang Meng's first battle with Murong Chui

Yang Ye died in the battle of Beiguan

Qin Liangyu was attacked and retreated

Huo Qu's illness was defeated

Li Jing defended Yinshan City

Flanking attacks from both sides to recapture Zhenbei Pass

In the battle of Laolongtan, Qin Hao put on a big swing in the Longmen array and fought Temujin

Detouring to the back of Liupan Mountain, Zhao Zilong raided Yuanmeng, and Jia Fu fought against Temujin

Bai Qi attacked and schemed to force the slave army to surrender

……

According to statistics, the 'Battle of the Hetao' lasted a year and a half, with 116 battles, 230,000 enemies killed, 320,000 prisoners, 290,000 casualties, and a total of 2,500 summon points after deducting losses, and the host currently has a total of 7,580 summon points. 】

The Battle of Hetao once again refreshed the record of the longest and largest battle that Qin Hao had personally experienced since he joined the army, and this battle was definitely the most tragic battle.

When the Battle of Hetao had just begun, Qin Hao had not even unified Sizhou;

On the way to the Battle of Hetao, Qin Hao not only unified Sizhou and carried out a campaign to exterminate Buddhism, but also forced Zhao Kuangyin Cholera Yuzhou and subdued the four counties of Bingnan, realizing the strategic goal of connecting Bingzhou and Jingbei.

Before the war, Qin Hao's children were not long after they were born, but after the war, Qin Ying was able to run around and shout.

It can be seen from this that the battle of Hetao lasted much longer than the battle against Dong, and it took nearly a year and a half before and after.

Before the war, the Yuanmeng Empire had a total of 600,000 iron cavalry, and in order to completely defeat the Jin army, Temujin directly used two-thirds of the country's troops, that is, 400,000 iron cavalry.

Under the torrent of 400,000 iron cavalry, the Jin army, with a total strength of only 150,000, was once beaten and could not raise its head, and even the governor Yang Ye had to sacrifice his life to plot, and did not hesitate to sacrifice his own son Yang Shilang.

Under the invasion of foreign enemies and the threat of the extinction of the country and the species, the Jin army and the people under their leadership broke out in addition to the amazing resistance, the unity of the army and the people, and the desire of the people, shocked the world and the princes of the world.

200,000 troops are not enough? then expand the army to 300,000;

300,000 is not enough? then expand the army to 400,000;

……

Relying only on the two bitter cold places of Hetao and Bingzhou, the Jin army armed 220,000 regular troops and 200,000 militiamen, and a full 420,000 army and civilians to fight against 400,000 wolf-like anti-alien iron cavalry.

Of course, these urgently armed armies alone could not confront the well-trained main forces of Yuan and Mongolia, and the Hetao army and civilians adopted one of the most heroic methods of warfare:

The People's War.

Who said that the Han people were lambs?

Who said that without the army, the Han people could only be slaughtered?

The people of Hetao told the Yuanmeng people with practical actions that the people are not lambs, and they will never let you bully or slaughter!

Under the desperate obstruction of countless Hetao soldiers and civilians, the Yuan and Mongolian armies had to attack the city with all their strength every time they went, and the casualties of each city were extremely heavy, and they gradually fell into the ocean of people's war.

Under the persecution of this huge casualty, even Emperor Temujin of the Yuan Dynasty had to adjust his strategy and clearly issued two instructions:

1. Do not wantonly slaughter the city;

2. Do not insult or beat the people in the city at will;

It was not until Qin Hao and Bai Qi led 40,000 elite cavalry and 110,000 Qin-Ming coalition troops into Hetao respectively that the situation in which the Han army had been passively beaten in Hetao was reversed.

Seeing that the bones of Hetao were so hard that even 400,000 troops could not gnaw at them, Temujin ordered 200,000 troops to be conscripted from within the country, while continuing to recruit 100,000 main troops from the country.

In order to solve the problem of siege casualties, Temujin did not hesitate to liberate the slaves in the country, reorganized them into an army, and successively formed an army of 150,000 slaves.

At this point, Temujin's strength in order to seize the Hetao reached its peak, with an army of nearly 650,000, while the peak strength of the Han army reached 580,000.

This was a battle involving a total of more than one million troops, and the two sides surrounded the land of more than 1,300 miles in the three counties and 30 counties of the Hetao.

This is a war that is destined to have no winners.

In the end, although the Qin, Jin, and Ming coalition forces won the battle, they also suffered 1,000 casualties and 108 casualties, with nearly 190,000 militia casualties and nearly 100,000 casualties among the regular army.

Before the war, the three counties of Hetao had a population of nearly 1.4 million, but after the war, only nearly 700,000 remained.

It took the entire Bingzhou and Jin army to build the Hetao, which was directly beaten into a sieve after this battle, and it was about to be completely scrapped.

In addition, in the grain depots of Bingzhou and Hetao, the grain reserves that were piled up and enough to support 500,000 troops for two consecutive years of war had also been consumed.

It can be said that although the Qin-Jin coalition army won the war, it was also disabled and poor, and if there was no way to recover blood as soon as possible, it only relied on tearful licking of the wound to slowly recover.

The Han army was already so miserable when it won the war, and the fate of Yuan Meng, as the defeated, was naturally even worse.

Among the 650,000 troops dispatched by Temujin, except for Murong Ke's 100,000 army, which was transferred back to Longcheng to encircle and suppress the Han army that had left the fortress, the rest of the 550,000 troops were completely annihilated, and even Emperor Temujin of Yuan was not spared, only Ogedai led the remaining 3,000 people to flee back to Longcheng.

A full 550,000 army was wiped out, and Yuanmeng's military strength was reduced by more than half at once, which also caused Yuanmeng's national foundation to be hit hard, and it could not recover in a short period of time.

Now there are less than 250,000 troops left in the Yuan and Mongolian countries, and one of them is a new soldier, but they have to face the covetousness of the Manchus in the east and the oppression of the Qin and Jin in the south.

It can be said that the first battle of Hetao directly defeated the national strength of Yuanmeng, and the accumulated foundation of the destruction of Xianbei was also exhausted, and even the entire country was even on the verge of falling apart.

Of the 550,000 troops destroyed by the Yuan and Meng, nearly 320,000 surrendered, and the remaining 230,000 died in the Hetao.

The bones of 230,000 Mongolian soldiers, plus the bones of nearly 300,000 Han soldiers, and the bones of 450,000 Hetao people......

In just one and a half years, nearly a million people have died in the Hetao, and their bones have all turned into nutrients on this land, and it is believed that the Hetao will usher in a good year of harvest in the coming year.
