It's not an exaggeration to describe Qin Meng with a sense of worry.
Qin Meng had really learned the strength of Turkic people.
How can the two words of tragic battle be described
Unequal military power and unequal strength are the most direct causes of huge casualties.
Courage, of course, is the military spirit that needs to be advocated most in the cold weapon era, but as a commander, it is extremely irresponsible for one's subordinates to fight the opponent with a generational lineup.
Turkic cavalry has been a lingering nightmare and pain in the hearts of the northern Central Plains for hundreds of years.
Qin Meng would never forget the scene in which he sent a supervising law enforcement team in the battle of Wuyinling, letting the infantry brave the enemy's trampling and collision, and the swords that fell from the sky, desperately resisting.
As a commander, that's the only option, but those living fighters. Not only a life, but also his own brother.
Qin Meng expected that as long as he could create a 100,000-permeable stainless steel arrow, he could take the initiative in defense.
However, things are often not carried out according to personal good wishes.
In March, the horse scout sent by Qin Meng reported back. A large number of Turkic enemy troops appeared north of Wuwei.
In April, Jincheng County, Shangjun County, and Tianshui County were all taken captive by the Turks. Only the main city of each county was unbroken and could only be defended by strongholds.
In May, Wuwei County was surrounded by Tuan Tuan, and any news about Wuwei County could not be passed on.
Saw, Wuwei County was completely sealed off.
At the end of May, Qin Meng received an order from Yang Lin himself that if Wuwei falls, he must hold on to Xiping.
Yang Lin led an army of 120,000 and rushed to Lingwu County. Strangled the throat of the old Zhao Great Wall, threatening the safety of the Turkic side.
Qin Meng took his orders and said that he would definitely live up to the prince's trust and guard Xiping.
At the same time, Qin Meng advised Yang Lin to shrink his forces and not easily go into battle. As long as he defends Lingwu, the Turks will always feel threatened by the side. After the Turks have failed, they will withdraw their troops.
After sending off the Chinese army scouts, Qin Meng re-disrupted his organization according to the plan that had already been formulated, and deployed them one by one in accordance with the first-level combat readiness.
Jianqi and Jianzu, as the combat department, hide the city of Xiping, ready to fight at any time.
Sun Mao administers the regular patrol and guard tribes, which are divided into four cities, which are the backbone of defense.
The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled are completely flooded into the logistics department, and they will be dispatched by Qiyuan. Any military needs must be delivered as soon as possible, otherwise they will be severely punished according to wartime rules.
At the beginning of June, bad news came from the north. The main city of Wuwei County was broken, and both the county guard and garrison generals were martyred. The Turkic army was slightly adjusted. Forty thousand horses, Haohao **** came to Xiping County.
Suddenly, military sentiment was reported to Qin Meng like snow flakes.
In the west of Xiping County, 24 villages were looted, and to the east, more than 30 villages were looted. At present, the Turkic army bypassed the main city of Xiping County, from the east and west wings, to the side of the main city of Xiping County, and attacked together. It seemed that they wanted to take Xiping County as well.
Xiping County kept coming to see Qin Meng frequently, hoping that Qin Meng could come up with an idea.
What good ideas can Qin Meng have? At present, the Turkic soldiers are in full force, and they can't compete with them at all. At this time, the battle is to hit the stone with the egg. What if the main force of your own family is good enough to wipe out the enemy ten times? After all the tossing, there is still no way to escape the ruin of the city.
When he went to Xiping County to beg to see him again, Qin Meng asked for sexual intercourse and directly refused to see the guests.
Qin Meng stayed in his military camp, seemingly no matter what, but doing what he should do all the time.
Dare to speak lightly about the warriors, kill!
Those who dare to leave the city, kill!
Those who dare to confuse the crowd with rumors, kill!
After a series of wartime control orders came out, Xiping was immediately in a state of extreme tension.
Qin Meng offered tortoise defense, and ordered all tribes to do nothing, no matter what Turkic people do outside the city, unless it is directly attacking the city.
After five days, the Turkic army of 40,000, surrounded Xiping completely.
One after another, some follow-up reinforcements came slowly.
Sui Dynasty Zhou. Achieving the great cause of the dynasty, most of the original tribes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty became the great tribes of the Sui Dynasty.
However, there are still a large number of tribes, who rebelled or fled north, and got together with the Turkic people.
Turkic people can easily understand the details of the northern central plains when they go south, and they are inseparable from these people.
A large part of the enemy's reinforcements on the Xiping Front is the old part of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which retains the original Central Plains system.
A messenger shouted from the city, hoping to meet the Xiping guard, and discuss important matters.
Qin Meng disappeared directly, and told the guards to convey his meaning.
Xiping does not accept any negotiation, let alone surrender.
When the two countries are at war, they will not be cut.
Xiping respects this customary rule, but after expressing Xiping's determination, anyone who approaches Xiping will regard it as an enemy attacking the city and never let it go!
Received a reply from Xiping. Turkic and the rest of the Northern Zhou Dynasty coalition forces immediately began to attack the city.
Qin Meng knew that the most important thing for defense was the initial period of siege.
The enemy has the most vigor and strength, and often the first wave of attacks is the most violent.
Therefore, effectively resisting the previous rounds of attacks is the top priority of the entire defense plan.
Qin Meng patrolled the four cities. Although he trusted his men and never intervened in the battle, he was able to directly exercise the power of wartime supervision.
Under Qin Meng's strict supervision, although the Xiping defenders lost a lot of manpower, they were able to hold the gates without any risk, and the enemy suffered losses. More serious.
After a fierce attack for three days, the Turks finally realized that a strong attack would not work, so they changed their strategy.
They brought in the people who had looted near Xiping and drove them to attack Xiping.
The defenders couldn't bear to attack their own people, so they sent people to report to Qin Meng.
Qin Meng felt a fire burning in his heart, but he could not be filled with righteous indignation like the defenders. On the surface, he had to pretend to be cold-blooded and order: "My people are ahead. Let it go. When the enemy's time is near, follow the normal defense. Be repelled by the law."
Hearing the order, the soldier looked unbearable: "General, this will definitely hurt the people."
Qin Meng turned his face to the side, suppressing his anger as much as possible, and said coldly: "Execute the order."
After Lingbing left, Qin Meng was furious and smashed almost everything in the room.
this matter. Despite Qin Meng's deliberate pressure, it spread.
When Qin Meng was patrolling the Jianzu Camp in the city, several Jianzuo walked out to Qin Meng.
"General, I am very fortunate, for the general's appreciation, enter the healthy pawn camp to receive a generous salary. I heard that the Turks are outside the city. Drive my people to be the pioneers and attack my city. Such behavior is really indignant. The general grouped me into a healthy pawn camp. Isn’t it to fight the Turkic people?"
As soon as this person's voice fell, another person continued: "Yes, we practice every day, and we have developed our skills. Let's go out of the city to fight these innocent guys. Jian Zuo camp begs the army to allow us to fight. If we are not victorious, We have no face to come back, this life is left on the battlefield."
Qin Meng listened to these sturdy babbles, to the effect that he wanted to go to war, and couldn't bear the Turkic people using the people of the Central Plains as animals.
"Where is Zhou Lie?" Qin Meng finished yelling at the soldiers and did not answer, but instead called Zhou Lie.
"Report to the general, Chief Zhou Lie has gone to Chief Qiyuan, Wei Da is not talented, dare to ask what the general commanded?" Wei Da quickly stepped out of Jian's pawn and bowed his hand to salute.
"This general seems to have said that the warriors should be killed lightly, right?" A cold light appeared in Qin Meng's eyes.
Wei Da sighed, and hurriedly bowed again: "General, my humble duty did not dare to forget the command of the general. However, my brothers have said this. It is the Turkic people who have done such a righteous act of indignation. I hope the general can understand this. ."
"Haha, Weida, I remember you seem to be a boring gourd. Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, but there are so many words? Humph, how can you use military force when marching? Well, watching the Turks abuse my people, I can't help it. Right? Go out and fight. What should Xiping do if we light up our people? What should happen to the neighboring counties when Xiping is broken? Every city is broken, and the prince is surrounded by enemies on three sides! If the prince has a good or bad, the whole What about the northern border of the Great Sui Dynasty? The northern border of the Great Sui is gone, is the Great Sui still the Great Sui?"
Qin Meng felt aggrieved, and the tortoise system defense was not done by shrinking his head.
In addition to proper strategy and tactics, he must be able to hold back his anger and be cold-blooded enough.
"Weida listen to the order!"
"Humble job!"
"Implement the wartime military orders, speak lightly about warriors, and cut down without mercy! Zhou Lie's control is not strict. On behalf of the general, he drew ten whips. If next time the general hears that there are people who dare to speak lightly. You and Zhou Lie See you soon!"
Wei Da heard what Qin Meng said viciously, and wanted to say a few words to persuade him, but when the words came to his lips, he raised his eyes to see Qin Meng's eyes breathing fire, so he swallowed, turned and ordered his soldiers to execute Qin Meng's. command.
Qin Meng felt that the generals who led the war seemed awe-inspiring, but in fact it was an extremely high-risk business.
On the battlefield, it is very likely that you don't know how to die. This is easy to understand.
But in the solid inside, it is also possible that you don't know how to die, which is too wrong.
Xiping needs to defend and polish away the enemy's vigor, and then attack by surprise, to have a line of fighters.
But in this process, because of the high degree of tension, the pressure of life and death, handling internal affairs, often a mistake, it will lead to unexpected accidents.
Soldiers approaching the city, mutiny, each battalion, only thinking about themselves, and even killing each other, are such things rare
Qin Meng had to adopt thunder means to kill all bad signs in the bud.
As the evening approached, Wei Da brought Zhou Lie to Qin Meng and asked him to examine his injuries.
Zhou Lie said ashamed: "General, when something like this happened, Zhou Lie is really shameless to see the general. I have failed your expectations..."
Qin Meng sighed and came over to check Zhou Lie's whiplash. Wei Da didn't kill him. Ten thick wrists appeared on Zhou Lie's back, and the flesh was not broken.
With a loud cry, Zhou Lie yelled out. Qin Meng pressed hard on his injury.
"The enemy is currently on the line of life and death. If Xiping wants to keep it, only the officers, soldiers and people can do it. Any voice different from this must be destroyed by powerful means. Zhou Lie, the control is not strict, you have it, but it is not without it. What's desirable." (End of this chapter)
