Chapter 1107: Wear the Cool and Merge
The Jin army has a total of 200,000 troops, and when the Dong Alliance was formed, Qin Jian led 50,000 Jin troops south, and then stayed under Qin Hao's command, and never returned to the state, so now the Jin army only has 150,000 troops left.
In order to support Qin Hao in forming an alliance to fight against Dong, in addition to the support of the Jin army in terms of troops, the Jin army gave Qin Hao the greatest support in terms of generals.
In addition to being personally led by the fourth master Qin Jian, he also took away Zhao Yun, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Xu Huang and many other mainstays of the Jin army.
Now the Jin army that remains in the north may not be empty in terms of troops, but it is unprecedentedly empty in terms of generals.
There is only one commander of Yang Ye who is 98, and there is a commander of 95 Li Dingguo who is quite reliable,
The other generals, including the generals of the Yang family, have either not grown up yet, or they are brave and unscrupulous, and it is difficult for them to take on great responsibilities at all.
Qin Wen, who has the highest prestige, is also a reliable general if he can lead the army, but now that Qin Wen is a hero, he can't lead the army in person at all.
Although Qin Hao sent Wang Meng, who commanded 98, and Wen Tianxiang, who commanded 96, to Hetao to serve as Taishou, they were Wenchen after all, and they were not in charge of military power in peacetime.
Qin Hao knew that relying on only one Yang Ye might not be able to stop Murong Ke, so in this flying pigeon biography, he told Qin Wen that Wang Meng and Wen Tianxiang must be used as generals.
This time, Yuanmeng can be described as menacing, and the troops sent by Temujin are as high as 70,000 iron cavalry, and they are also led by Murong Ke, a peerless general.
If the Jin army relied on one Yang Ye alone, it might not be able to stop Murong Ke, the 'first general of the Sixteen Kingdoms', but if Yang Ye had the assistance of Wang Meng and Wen Tianxiang, it would be a different matter.
————————
At the same time, at the junction of Bingzhou and Liangzhou, a huge cavalry force, under the leadership of Murong Ke, was rapidly marching in the direction of Bingzhou.
All the cavalry in this unit were equipped with stirrups, saddles and horseshoes, and the hands were even more polished, the only pity was that there were not many soldiers in armor, only about one or two percent.
Of course, this could not be iron armor, but leather armor traded from the princes of the Central Plains, and iron armor was equipment that only generals were qualified to wear in Yuanmeng.
Among the 70,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, nearly 14,000 people are equipped with leather armor, which is very low for the Central Plains army, but for Yuanmeng, who is short of materials, it is already an unprecedented luxury plastic surgery.
In the Xiongnu era, it would be good to have a percent of the soldiers in the Hun army wearing armor, but even so, the Han army was called Dad, of course, except for the three special Han armies of Jin Liangyou.
"Father, you said that the brains of the Han people are so long, how can they be so smart, and even stirrups and horseshoes can be invented."
Murong Shao, who went on the expedition with his father, laughed and said, "Our knights' marching speed has nearly doubled since they were equipped with these things. Why can't we Mongolians invent it? ”
"How smart are the Han people, these things they invented are not cheap to us in the end."
Murong Lin, the concubine of Murong Chui on the side, sneered and said: "How many cavalry are there in total among the Han people, and they don't add up to more than half of my Yuanmeng, and they can't maximize the role of stirrups and horseshoes, but my Yuanmeng has obtained such artifacts like a tiger, and from now on, the northern frontier will let our iron cavalry run wild at will." ”
"Brother, what you say is reasonable." Murong Shao laughed.
Murong Ke also agreed with the words of the two nephews, after all, what they said was also the truth, but he did not reply to the words of the two, but instead looked cold, as if he had something on his mind.
"Since the era of the Yanmen Army, the Xiongnu have rarely been able to take advantage of the state, and now although the Xiongnu have grown into Yuanmeng, the Yanmen Army has also become the Jin Army."
Murong Ke said with a serious face: "My Murong family has always been suppressed in Yuanmeng, and now thanks to His Majesty's trust, I finally have the opportunity to lead the army again, you must not drop the chain because of the underestimation of the enemy."
If we lose this battle, our life and death will be small, and the survival of the Murong family will be big.
Do you understand? ”
Murong Shao and Murong Lin suddenly felt a pang in their hearts, and after glancing at each other, they shouted together: "Understood." ”
Seeing this, Murong Ke couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, he was actually scaring the two of them just now, after Princess Zhao Min worshipped Murong Longcheng as a teacher, the situation of the Murong family was much better than when he first joined Yuanmeng, even if he was defeated this time, he would definitely not be wiped out.
"Father, the front is the Hetao territory, according to the intelligence of the Liang army, the Jin army once again set up a large battalion of 3,000 people."
Murong Shao waved his whip and pointed ahead, his eyes were full of essence, and he laughed and said: "With the strength of our army, we will definitely be able to capture this large battalion within three days, and at that time, our army will be on the ground in this Hetao of Ma Pingchuan." ”
After Murong Ke pondered for a while, he said lightly: "Pass the order, the army will march south, and within one day, it must arrive in Shuofang." ”
"No...... Alas, alas? ”
Murong Shao didn't react at first, and after confirming that what his father said was Shuofang, he immediately exclaimed: "Father, after capturing this camp, we can enter the Hetao, why are you going to Shuofang's broken place at this time?" ”
"Although this battalion only has 3,000 troops, it has all kinds of defensive equipment, and our army is cavalry, so it may not be able to attack it in three days."
Murong Ke frowned and looked ahead, and said lightly: "Guo Jing's defection, the plan has been exposed, but even if the Jin army already knows, it will not be able to transfer the army back from the northern front in a short time."
Therefore, we must compete with the Jin army for time, and enter the Hetao as quickly as possible, and then rely on the speed of the cavalry, and our army will be invincible.
The detour may seem to be a longer journey, but it saves time to attack the camp, so it will actually enter the loop faster. ”
"But this place is just a camp, but Shuofang has a strong city." Murong Lin asked suspiciously.
The corners of Murong Ke's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled lightly: "How did we enter Bingzhou from Liangzhou, how did we enter the Hetao from Shuofang."
And the Southern Coalition Army has a request from my Yuanmeng, and they have to rely on our Yuanmeng to contain the Jin army in the north, so forgive him Wang Kuang has no courage to stop our army. ”
Murong Lin's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, if this was the case, wouldn't they be able to enter the Hetao without a single soldier.
I think that during the period of Yu Fu Luodanyu who was in the slave, the Han and Hungarian wars for many years and even killed hundreds of thousands of people, but they failed to break through the Yanmen Pass and enter the state, but now they can complete the feat that hundreds of thousands of people died without wasting a single soldier.
