Chapter 1252: Battle Enlightenment (II)
The Yuan and Meng armies also occupied the land of the five cities in Ningxia, and with the transfer of the main forces of the Qin army to Ningxia, most of the main forces of the Yuan and Meng were also placed in Ningxia.
Therefore, today's ten cities in Ningxia can be described as a large army gathering and imminent.
Although the forces gathered by the Qin Jin and Yuan Meng armies in Ningxia were large, both sides maintained an extremely tacit restraint, and there were few military operations of more than 30,000 people.
Whether it is the Qin and Jin armies, or the fierce Yuan Meng, they are not fully prepared for the decisive battle, if there are too many troops rashly dispatched, it will easily develop into the final decisive battle, so the two sides will be so restrained.
In this unprepared environment, Murong Ke suddenly provoked a war this time, and dispatched 70,000 iron cavalry at once, which was obviously a military action that had been carefully considered, and its true intention was also somewhat intriguing.
The generals of Qin and Jin who got the news discussed the intention of Murong Ke's move, but the conclusions they came to were also different, and each had its own reason anyway.
"Not good."
Just when the generals were arguing with each other, Zhuge Liang suddenly screamed, and then walked quickly to the sand table and looked at it for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Murong Ke's real purpose is probably to block the 100,000 troops of the eastern front camp at the passage of the Hetao and Bingzhou. ”
Qin Hao also looked at the sand table, and frowned and asked, "How can you see it?" There are quite a few troops on the Eastern Front. ”
"Although the number of defenders at the junction of the Hetao and Bingzhou is large, it is the weakest link in our army's defensive line."
The 100,000 defenders at the junction of Hetao and Bingzhou were led by Qin Liangyu, She Saihua, and Meng Tian, and the 100,000 troops were all reservists and former Yellow Turban prisoners of war.
Although this 100,000-strong army is a newly built army, most of the people in the army are veterans who have seen blood, and they are equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, so they have a certain combat effectiveness, and the overall combat effectiveness is weaker than that of the main army.
100,000 defenders is not a small number, if this army is in the hands of Li Jing, Temujin is dying with an army of 200,000, and he may not be able to break through Yinshan City.
In Qin Liangyu's hands, although the role played was limited, it was more than enough to defend the trunk.
But Zhuge Liang said that the defense line built by the 100,000 army was the weakest link in the Hetao defense line, and the reason was very simple:
1, the rest of the defense line has a city to defend, only Qin Liangyu's 100,000 army can only rely on Dazhai for defense, and the defense of Dazhai and the city is not the same.
2. The formation of cavalry is not a one-time effort, and the cavalry in the Qin and Jin armies are concentrated in the Ningxia army, so there is a shortage of cavalry in the newly built army, although there is a way to counter the cavalry, but there is no means to balance the cavalry.
To sum up the above two points, let Qin Liangyu have an army of 100,000 in his hands, but in the face of cavalry, he can only be beaten passively, if the defense loopholes are found again, this 100,000 army may even be directly crushed.
"Before, our army had the advantage of strength, and if Yuan Meng attacked the idea of the Eastern Route Army, the cavalry on the Ningxia side could immediately support it, and Murong Ke also knew this, so he never took the initiative to provoke the Eastern Route Army.
But now it's different, after Yuanmeng increased his troops again, even if he divided 70,000 troops, the remaining troops were enough to contain the main force of our army, and if the 70,000 iron cavalry was used well, he could already defeat the defenders of the Eastern Front in one battle. ”
Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Qin Hao couldn't help but show a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Where did Murong Ke get such confidence?" How can he be sure that this division of troops will definitely be able to break through the defenses of the Eastern Front? ”
Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Maybe Murong Ke has discovered a loophole in the defense of the Eastern Front. ”
Qin Hao couldn't help but be stunned, thought about it carefully, and found that Zhuge Liang's analysis was very reasonable.
Although there were many troops on the Eastern Front, the defense line was not solid, and only by cooperating with Ningxia could the defense line be impregnable.
In addition, although there is Meng Tian who has a commander of 100 on the Eastern Front, the main general is Qin Liangyu, and as Qin Hao's sister, Qin Liangyu, who is leading the army alone for the first time, must want to show herself, so she may not necessarily listen to Meng Tian's advice.
Although Qin Liangyu's commander attribute is 93, in the face of this kind of million-level battle, the 93-point commander will be a little unable to hold the field, and it is extremely normal for there to be loopholes in the layout.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, if this was not handled well and the response was not timely, the army on the Eastern Front was likely to face the risk of rout on the front line, and the gap between the troops and Yuan Meng would widen again.
"The 100,000 troops on the Eastern Front are related to the safety of the entire state, and no mistakes are allowed, so this time my father decided to personally lead 30,000 elite horsemen to the rescue."
The reason why Qin Hao went in person was not just to rescue, but to fundamentally solve the problem of the Eastern Front, after all, he could save it once, but he might not be able to save it for the second and third time, and fundamentally solve the most important thing about the defense loopholes on the Eastern Front.
In fact, the fundamental problem of the 100,000 army on the Eastern Front mainly appeared in the body of the main general Qin Liangyu, although her command and command ability was not weak, but it was a little inadequate in the face of Murong Ke.
If Qin Liangyu could treat Meng Tian like Yang Liulang and Li Jing, then the defense of the Eastern Front would be absolutely impregnable, but Qin Liangyu, who was strong, wanted to prove himself, and the defense of the Eastern Front would inevitably have problems.
After all, Qin Liangyu is Qin Hao's sister and Qin Wen's chief general, so Qin Hao must go in person in order to remove Qin Liangyu's military power and promote Meng Tian to be the chief general of the Eastern Front army, so that the problem of the Eastern Front can be solved once and for all.
As he spoke, Qin Hao looked at Wang Meng and said in a deep voice: "Since Murong Ke dares to divide his troops to attack the Eastern Front, there must be other follow-up moves.
Wang Mengdudu, after the departure of this duke, Ningxia will rely on you to control the overall situation, and all the troops and generals of the Qin and Jin armies will be under your command, and Murong Ke must not be given any opportunity. ”
"No." Wang Meng answered categorically.
In this way, Qin Hao personally led 30,000 elite horsemen to leave Ningxia, and the generals who followed were: Jiang Song, Gao Chong, Zhao Yun, Huo Quai, Bai Qi and Ran Min and other super god generals were left by Qin Hao to Wang Meng.
As soon as Qin Hao left, Wang Meng also made arrangements, he ordered Ran Min, Jia Fu, Yuwen Chengdu, and Huang Zhong to guard the other four cities in Ningxia respectively, and he, Bai Qi and other military divisions sat in Ningxia City
Qin Hao's reaction speed was fast enough, but Murong Ke's speed of making a move was even faster.
After dividing 70,000 troops to attack the Eastern Front, Murong Ke waited for Qin Hao's response, and as soon as Qin Hao's reinforcements left Ningxia, he immediately launched the next operation.
For a time, Ningxia County was in turmoil, and the form was extremely critical, and there was a tendency to break out a decisive battle soon.
