Du Ruhui once told the emperor that the imperial court could support this war for three months at most. If the war can't end in three months, Great Qin will collapse.

Now, two months have passed.

It's not over yet, but the dawn of victory is already on the line.

The Qin army successively defeated Chai Shao's 100,000 Tang army, Gao Tansheng's tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers in Gao Kaidao, and the thieves of Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er's Zhao County and Xiangguo County, and recovered these two counties and Shanggu and Zhuo counties.

Now, with this betrayal of Shenwu City, and Feng Xiaoci's battle with the Xia army in Shanggu, not only Liu Wuzhou has become a lonely city in Yanmen, but the Xia army has also been isolated to the east of Taihang.

Before the sand table.

The privy envoy Zhang Xutuo pointed to the terrain of Daibei with a bamboo whip, "Your Majesty, now, Liu Wuzhou has about 50,000 soldiers and horses trapped in Yanmen City, and his Loufu Pass, Tucheng, and Xicheng Pass add up to about 10,000 defenders, and there are about 10,000 soldiers and horses in Mayi City, but as long as we take Yanmen City, the three passes cannot be defended." ”

"The Xia Turkic army of the Xia general Liu Heimin is about 30,000 people, and now it is trapped in Lingqiu City, surrounded by General Feng's 50,000 army."

"Cloud City is still under the control of Liu Hongji, Wei Chiliang and Li Keshi, and now with Luo Guozhong's eight thousand cavalry to support, it should be able to hold it for a while."

"Under the city in the clouds, there are only 110,000 Turkic troops in Jieli now."

"Only 110,000? It's impossible, isn't Jieli claimed to be 200,000 when he went south? ”

"When he went south, it was 200,000, but when he captured Xianghe Dali City, he also lost thousands of men and horses, and was annihilated by the King of Jin in Dali City with 5,000 remaining soldiers. Since then, nearly 10,000 people have died of scorching heat and casualties in the three cities in the storm. And its 5,000 people in Zhuo County were also annihilated by Zhao Gui. ”

"And just now in Shenwu, I lost another 20,000."

"Another 5,000 are trapped in Liu Heimin's Lingqiu, in addition, Jieli previously sent an army of 50,000 to pursue the King of Jin, but he chased in the wrong direction, and now he has chased to Xi Realm."

Originally, it was claimed that the coalition army was 600,000.

But now, the enemy army in the entire Daibei is divided into three parts, and there are about 70,000 Dai troops in Yanmen Mayi.

Lingqiu City has about 30,000 Xia troops.

Under the city of clouds, about 110,000 Turkic troops.

Combined, it's only 210,000, and it's still so scattered.

In contrast, today's Qin army has increased its strength instead of decreasing.

After Zhao Gui recovered Zhuojun, although there were some losses, he supplemented some from the rebels, and the number did not decrease but increased, and now in addition to the 8,000 cavalry who reached the clouds, he also led 60,000 cavalry.

Feng Xiaoci fought several battles in Shanggu, also from 50,000 to more than 80,000 people, and now in addition to the first army left behind in Shanggu, Hengshan, Boling, Zhaojun, and Xiangguo, he also led 60,000 people to surround Lingqiu.

Shenwu City, as well as a group of soldiers and horses of Luo Daen and Gao Manzheng, after they collected some prisoners, there were more than 30,000 people.

As for the city of Yanmen.

The emperor personally led a forbidden army of 100,000, and there were 100,000 people who went out to attack and sweep away.

Not to mention, now Taiyuan and other counties have also sent 100,000 county soldiers to help.

The Qin army had already formed an overwhelming numerical superiority over the enemy army in Daibei.

"Your Majesty, the old minister suggested closing the door and beating the dogs, and let General Zhao Gui lead his troops with 60,000 horses and horses to make a detour to the north of Yunzhong, capture the Cowhide Pass, and block the Turkic escape route to the north. He ordered Luo Daen and Gao Manzheng to go north from Shenwu and led his 30,000 troops to block and kill Hu Pass. ”

"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and several generals stepped up their attacks on Loufu Pass and Xicheng Pass, and after breaking through the pass, they went north into Pingyu Valley, according to the Great Wall."

Luo Cheng looked at Zhang Xutuo's strategic plan, which was almost to surround Jieli on all sides, repeating the scene of Shibi Khan's entire army in Mayi a few years ago.

Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, put forward a bolder plan at this time.

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent Jieli from smelling a bad smell and escaping in advance, the minister thought that he could temporarily encircle Yanmen without fighting, concentrate the elite to attack Xicheng Pass first, and then pull out Mayi City after entering Mayi, and then seize the partial pass, kill Hu Pass, Cowhide Pass, etc., and surround Jieli on all sides, and completely don't give him a chance to escape!"

According to what the old marshal said, although Liu Wuzhou has tens of thousands of troops to defend Yanmen, he is just a turtle in an urn, just send a team of soldiers and horses to watch him, and then come back to fight him after cleaning up Jieli.

"Your Majesty, the Turks are a big trouble after all, if you let Jieli escape, I'm afraid that in a few years, he will be able to regain his strength, and then he will come to invade again, and it will be troublesome after all."

Several veterans believe that the opportunity cannot be missed, and it will not come again.

At present, Jieli is still a little unclear about the situation, and his intelligence is seriously lagging behind, so it is not clear that the Qin army has fully occupied the initiative in the war.

And Wei Wensheng and others believe that it is necessary to seize this time difference and not give him a chance to react.

Another war of annihilation.

A few years ago, Luo Cheng fought a war of annihilation in Mayi, annihilating the southern invasion army of Shibi Khan, and for several years after that, the south of Yinshan was no longer owned by the Turks. If the Turks can be annihilated again this time, then the Turks will be completely down.

"Your Majesty, if you win this battle, you can protect the northland for thirty years!"

At this time, even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng, the prime ministers of Wenchen, also rolled up their sleeves one by one and shouted to fight.

"We must encircle and annihilate Jieli and annihilate him."

"He must not be allowed to escape."

"Refuse to accept the surrender and ask for peace, kill him!"

Looking at these menacing prime ministers and old handsomes, Luo Cheng couldn't help laughing, this is the spirit of spirit, in the face of the menacing of Jieli, no one in the Qin Dynasty has ever coaxed him.

Now, no one says that they should be lenient and generous, and they will never be disabled if they have the opportunity to die.

In the second year of the Great Qin Dynasty, in late June.

The emperor adjusted his strategy again under the Yanmen Pass.

Zhang Xutuo and Wei Wensheng led 50,000 forbidden troops and 100,000 county soldiers to continue to besiege Yanmen City, while the emperor mobilized 100,000 troops to storm Xicheng Pass and enter Mayi.

Cheng Yanjin and Xue Wanche led an army of 50,000 to attack the building and troublesome pass.

The task of the emperor's main army is to go north to Yunzhong City to drag the main force of Jieli after breaking the Xicheng Pass, and Cheng Biting Jin's task is to break the building and seize the horse after the annoyance, and then divide the troops to defend the partial pass and assist Hu Daen and them to defend and kill Hu Pass.

"Can we supply grain and grass?"

The emperor asked Du Ruhui.

The right servant turned red, patted his chest and said, "Although the emperor has a decisive battle with Jieli on the front line, the minister will do his best to ensure the supply of grain, grass and ordnance." ”

At this time, the summer grain had just been harvested, and many crops in Yanmenloufu and other places in Taiyuan, Hedong, were freshly cut, including the grain in the two counties of Yanmenloufu in Liu Wuzhou's territory, which were all robbed and cut by the Sui army, so this batch of new grain seized on the spot greatly relieved Du Ruhui's pressure.

At this time, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were no longer satisfied with repelling Jieli's Turkic army, nor were they satisfied with recovering the northern counties of Daili, their goal was more obvious, and their appetite was greater, they wanted to completely annihilate Jieli's Turkic army, and they didn't want to leave if they came.

In this battle, it is necessary to fight for 30 years of peace in northern Xinjiang.

In this battle, we will destroy the Turks!

This will be a battle to destroy the country in one fell swoop!
