Chapter 1658: Yuan Shao's Death (I)
Su Lie and Li Jing each sent elite troops to pursue, but the fleeing Zhao army was divided into three routes, and finally the two roads were completely annihilated by the Qin army, and only Taiyu repelled the pursuers and fled.
Although Yu Taiyu fled, and also escaped more than 4,000 elite Zhao troops, even if he returned to the Bohai Sea, it would no longer matter to the overall situation.
After Su Dingfang and Li Jing converged, the total strength was as high as 130,000, but most of the soldiers in Bohai City were recruits, and most of the generals were also killed in the Julu battlefield.
Therefore, Lian Po's plan to keep the fire for Zhao Guo at the expense of himself has completely failed so far.
[Su Dingfang defeated and killed Lian Po, the commander is permanently +1, and the current Su Dingfang has five dimensions: command 101 (+3), force 100 (+3), intelligence 87 (+2), politics 70 (+2), charisma 91 (+2); Equipment: Red Electric Pony, Black Tiger Gun. 】
"Brother Li, our army only suffered 20,000 casualties in this battle, but it annihilated 80,000 elites of Zhao State, Brother Li, you have made great contributions."
Su Dingfang and Li Jing walked side by side, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Brother Li is willing to continue to help Su to break through the Bohai Sea and kill Yuan Shao to complete the great achievement of destroying Zhao?" ”
Hearing this, Li Jing pondered for a while, then refused with a smile: "Brother Su, Zhao Guo does not have many elite soldiers on the Bohai Sea line, with Brother Su's ability, it is only a matter of time before Zhao State is destroyed. ”
"What is Brother Li talking about, it's just a little bit of work, why not give it to Brother Li?"
Su Dingfang pretended to be displeased and said, while Li Jing smiled and said, "The lord once said that good steel should be used on the blade."
Our troops are not many, and it will not make a big difference if they stay, so it is better to transfer them to the battlefield of Wei County, maybe it will have a miraculous effect. ”
Li Jing is not stupid, the big cake of the Battle of Julu originally had nothing to do with him, but now that he has grabbed the second largest piece of cake, he naturally can't look down on the little work on the Bohai Sea.
In addition, Li Jing only brought 30,000 troops into Jizhou, and lost nearly 10,000 in the process of attacking the camp, while Su Dingfang was the general of the 110,000 unified army, if he stayed, he could only become Su Dingfang's subordinate general, Li Jing was obviously not willing to succumb to Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang also heard the meaning of Li Jing's words, and said with a regretful face: "Since this is the case, Su will not force Brother Li to stay." Where is Cheng Biting Jin? ”
"The end will be." Cheng Yanjin stood up and responded.
"I now order you to lead an army of 10,000 and use it under the command of General Li Jing, and there must be no mistake."
"No." Cheng Biting Jin shouted,
Li Jing was stunned when he saw this, and asked, "Brother Su, what does this mean?" ”
Su Dingfang smiled and said: "Brother Li has done Su a great favor this time, but he has lost nearly 10,000 troops, Su is really uneasy in his heart, so I will make up for this part of the lost troops for you, so that Brother Li can rest assured that he can conquer Wei County." ”
Originally, Li Jing was still worried that if he only led 20,000 troops into Wei County, he might not even be able to fight a wave, and he was struggling with how to ask Su Dingfang for 10,000 prisoners of war to fill the army, but he didn't expect Su Dingfang to take the initiative to loosen 10,000 elites for himself.
"This ...... Thanks a lot. ”
Li Jing really refused to talk about this temptation, and couldn't help but be sincerely grateful to Su Dingfang, and at the same time sighed in his heart: Su Dingfang is really a real person!
Now that the war in Hebei is so fierce, and the military strength is the capital of meritorious service, the generals must wish to have as many troops in their hands as possible, but Su Dingfang instead distributed the troops in his hands to Li Jing, which shows his sincere gentleman's heart.
Although Su Dingfang allocated 10,000 elites to Li Jing, he still had 100,000 troops under his command, which was more than enough for the next war.
Less than two days after the end of the war, Li Jing and Su Lie divided their troops again.
Li Jing led 30,000 troops straight to Yecheng in Wei County, while Su Dingfang led 100,000 troops to the Bohai Sea, without giving Yuan Shao any chance to react.
With the annihilation of the entire army of Gao Ganzhongfu, the high-level officials of Zhao State have become a mess, and everyone has guessed the end of Lian Po's army, but they can only hope that Lian Po can create a miracle, but Lian Po is only a human being and not a god.
Although Lian Po tried his best, he was still powerless to turn it around, even if he used his own life as bait, in the end he only sent back 4,000 remnants of the army to Bohai, which was a drop in the bucket for the next war.
Lian Po died in battle, 100,000 elites were wiped out, the elites in Zhao were basically wiped out, and the only remaining recruits were also useless.
Although Zhao still had a warlike army, they were all dragged on the Yecheng battlefield, and they were simply transferred back to support Bohai for a while.
In the face of the army of Su Dingfang who was about to be killed, Yuan Shao followed the advice of the strategist Wen Chou, and while shrinking his forces and preparing to defend the Bohai Sea, he ordered all the cities on the front line to be closed and defended, and he must delay Su Dingfang for a month.
Yuan Shao planned to take advantage of this time to mobilize the people of the whole city to defend Bohai City, and even if he couldn't hold it in the end, he would use the Bohai City Defense to consume half of the Qin army's troops.
Bohai is the capital of Zhao State, and it is also the second largest city after Yecheng in Jizhou, with 300,000 people in the city and a large number of materials hoarded.
Under Yuan Shao's full mobilization, most of the strong men in the city were incorporated into the ranks of the defenders by Yuan Shao, and they had more than 100,000 militia at once.
At the same time that Yuan Shao was preparing to defend the Bohai Sea, Su Dingfang also led an army of 100,000 to the Bohai Sea.
Bohai and Julu along the way more than ten counties, because of the fear of Su Dingfang's military might, most of them directly opened the city and surrendered, and the few remaining cities were not able to block a siege of Yuwen Chengdu, and they were attacked into the city and seized the city.
In the end, Su Dingfang only took ten days to directly attack Bohai City and besiege Bohai City.
After some permission and scolding, there was no reaction in Bohai City, so Su Dingfang immediately convened the generals to discuss the method of breaking the city.
"General, I heard that Yuan Shao incorporated all the strong men in Bohai into the army, and he is preparing to fight with our army in Bohai." Yuwen Chengdu said.
"With the combat strength of our army, it is not difficult to break the city, but the difficulty is to reduce casualties and not hurt the people in the city." Ding Yanping said,
"Yes, if you forcibly attack the city, even if you capture the Bohai Sea, the people in the city will definitely hate our army, which is not conducive to ruling Jizhou." Su Xian said.
The generals will say a word to you and me, but there is no way to break the city without hurting the people.
Seeing this, Su Dingfang smiled lightly: "This battle is to attack the city and attack the heart." There will be a way, or Bohai City will be self-defeating. ”
After speaking, Su Dingfang took out a letter of "Letter to the People of Bohai" and said in a deep voice: "Someone come, immediately copy this article for 100,000 points, and then order someone to shoot into Bohai City, which is going to let the whole city see this "Letter to the People of Bohai". ”
