Chapter 366: Soldiers in the Clouds
"Yunzhong County! We've just captured Daijun now, so let's go to attack Yunzhong County immediately, wouldn't it be too hasty? ”
When Jin Sanyi heard Qin Xiaobai's words, he was immediately shocked, the Qin army had just recovered Dai County, although the four counties outside the Saiwai were already Han territory as early as the time of Emperor Wu.
But now that the four counties outside the Saiwai have been occupied by the Xiongnu for many years, Qin Xiaobai can be said to have no foundation here.
At the same time, the four counties outside the Saiwai are not all Han people, there are also many Xiongnu, and even the Qiang and Xianbei tribes live outside the Saiwai people, which can be said to be a mixed residence.
Qin Xiaobai recovered Dai County overnight, if there were strong troops to suppress it, it would naturally be able to make a smooth transition, but if he had to lead his troops to attack Yunzhong County now, then I am afraid that there would be many disasters.
Daijun is also the only place to enter Yanmen Pass, and if Qin Xiaobai wants to attack Yunzhong County, it will belong to the rear position.
If Qin Xiaobai was fighting against Liu Bao's Hun army at the same time, something happened in the rear, then he might accidentally capsize in the gutter.
At that time, Jin 300 million will also lose with Qin Xiaobai's defeat in the war, and the loss will be lost.
"You forget, what is my official position in the imperial court, General Pingbei, the protector of the Northern Saidu Protectorate, this Northern Expedition occupies the name of righteousness, and now it has recovered Daijun with the momentum of thunder, and the military is flourishing, and why dare to take advantage of this to make trouble."
Qin Xiaobai smiled slightly, he occupies the name of righteousness, this is not for nothing, even if a few people who are not long-sighted dare to rebel, no one will obey, it is easy to be peaceful.
And he didn't leave the nest and didn't care about Daijun, he would naturally leave enough strength in Daijun to reassure Jin Sanyi Landscape.
At the same time, now is also a good time, taking advantage of the firepower of the Huns, they were all attracted by Wei Qing, Qin Xiaobai naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to race against time to catch as much as he could.
Moreover, not long ago, Qin Xiaobai had just received a battle report passed by Jinyiwei.
Nearly 200,000 Huns fled from Daijun, and as expected, they encountered an ambush, and this ambush battle was also started by Bai Yuanfang.
Bai Yuanfang also mentioned it in the report. This time, the Huns broke the army, and after being caught and beaten by him, they completely became a remnant of the defeated army, not to mention recovering their combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Now it is simply frightened when I see the Qin army, and there is no need to worry about the rout of this Xiongnu army at all.
And Qin Xiaobai looked at the data on the battle report, and also saw that the Xiongnu were indeed unable to resist in this ambush, and were basically pressed and beaten one-sidedly.
This is a bit unexpected. Originally, Qin Xiaobai also estimated that even if the Huns retreated, they would still be able to retain some combat power more or less, and it would be very powerful to fight back when the time came.
Unexpectedly, after several rounds of his heart-to-heart battles, coupled with the copying of their lair and the entire Dai County, the combat power of this Xiongnu rout army had plummeted to almost nothing.
"It seems that I overestimated the Xiongnu, or overestimated the guards of the four counties outside the Xiongnu."
After Qin Xiaobai saw this battle report, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart. This group of guard troops who lived a comfortable life in the four counties really could not be compared with the elite troops of the Hun army who herded horses and hunted on the Hetao grassland all year round.
He had seen the 300,000 elite army that Liu Bao went south, although he successfully defeated it several times, but every time he exhausted his strategy, it was not easy to fight.
Moreover, even if Huyanbei was defeated for thousands of miles, the Hun army under Huyanbei did not lose much, and soon recovered its combat strength and was able to enter the battle again.
It's like these 200,000 generations of county defenders. Once defeated, there is no way to fight back.
While Qin Xiaobai was overjoyed, his strategic deployment also changed with this war report.
Originally, although this was a good time, Qin Xiaobai also thought about taking advantage of this opportunity to attack Yunzhong County.
But there is also some hesitation, after all, a county is not something that can be conquered. The strategy of encircling and sweeping the face has been used once, and it is obvious that the Huns will not be fooled a second time.
Moreover, Yunzhong County is not so close to Yanmen Pass as Dai County, Yunzhong County is tens of thousands of miles away from Yanmen Pass, and before Dai County is completely stabilized, if the infantry wants to go over, logistics and supply will be a problem.
And the words of the cavalry. Originally, Qin Xiaobai only had 100,000 yellow horses, and the temporarily formed infantry cavalry received 300,000 black-maned horses from Wei Qing, which was an urgent need, so Qin Xiaobai trained 300,000 regular cavalry.
However, this could not suppress the 200,000 Xiongnu defenders in Yunzhong County in terms of troops.
Moreover, Qin Xiaobai estimated that Liu Bao had probably received a distress letter from Daijun, and it was estimated that Liu Bao would rush over and fight with him like crazy soon.
Although the Qin army also had 300,000 people, after all, it was a newly trained cavalry, and it was difficult to compete with the Xiongnu elite in the field, let alone attack the city under the pressure of Liu Bao's 300,000 army.
However, now with this wave of resistless Daijun routs, then everything will be easy.
You must know that since ancient times, it is not uncommon to use a rout to charge into battle, or to use a rout to charge a city.
Moreover, there are more than 100,000 of this rout, and none of the cities in Yunzhong County has so many soldiers and horses, if they are rushed by a rout army with more soldiers and horses than their own, the formation will inevitably be scattered, giving Qin Xiaobai countless opportunities to take advantage of.
And you must know that morale can be infected, this defeated army is different from other defeated armies, it was attacked by Qin Xiaobai in turn, and then copied the old nest, and then was ambushed by Bai Yuanfang, and the morale was depressed to the extreme, according to Bai Yuanfang's words, they were all frightened by the Qin army.
Once infected by such a low morale, it is conceivable that the defenders of Yunzhong County can maintain a few percent of their combat strength.
Therefore, as long as Qin Xiaobai takes advantage of this wave of rout, before Liu Bao runs to him to fight hard, it is no longer a dream to attack Yunzhong County.
Therefore, Qin Xiaobai immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the commander of the South Road Army, Yu Ziqi, to take over all matters in Daijun after returning to the county seat of Daijun, not to maintain the development and production of Daijun, but to stabilize Daijun.
Then let Mulan, Mu Guiying, and Bai Yuanfang's eastern, western, and northern armies converge in Baideng County, the northernmost part of Dai County.
He ordered the 50,000 black-maned horses captured in the county town of Daijun to be gathered, and selected 50,000 soldiers to temporarily form a cavalry and personally lead the army north.
After all, the Northern Expedition is such a big thing, how can he, the lord of the battle, not suppress the formation, even if he has nothing to do in the specific battle, but it is good to run a trick to brush up his prestige in the past.
After all, as long as he is the royal driver, even if he doesn't do anything, most of the credit will have to be credited to him at that time...... (To be continued.) )
