Chapter 2733 Shuluping's serial plan, Xiao Chuo, Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom

Chapter 2729: Shuluping's serial plan, Xiao Chuo, Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom

From Lun Qin Lun's point of view, Yang Xiong is just being stubborn, and he is trying to cover up his incompetence by elevating his opponent.

But in Shuluping's view, this is not the case. After all, although the Qiang people have not directly fought against the Qin army, they have fought against the Xiliang army, the Sui army, the Tang army and other Han armies, and they are also old opponents with Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong.

Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong had defeated the Qiang army many times. Generals such as Shuluping, Yeluyin Dishi, and Yelu Anduan were all defeated by them. He will be sent by Yang Guang to guard Haizhou,

But these two famous Qiang generals were bluffed by a small suspicious strategy before the battle started.

This is enough to explain the horror of Qin Jun and Meng Tian, ​​otherwise, how could it be possible to scare off the two famous generals just by deterrence?
Although Shuluping recognized the strength of the Qin army, he didn't think that the current Qiang army must be weaker than the Qin army.

Because of Yang Guang’s cowardly act of releasing the Qiang Order, most Qiang people now feel that the reason why the Sui and Tang Dynasties were able to destroy Qiang was not that the Sui and Tang Dynasties were really stronger than the Qiang people, but that the Qiang people were too backward, especially in the In terms of weapons and equipment.

The replacement speed of the weapons and equipment of the Han people was so fast that the Qiang people could not catch up with them, so that they were completely crushed in terms of weapons and equipment, which eventually led to the demise of the Qiang people.

But now the Qiang people also have the equipment of the Han people. Even if there is still a gap, it is not that big, and it will no longer form an absolute advantage.

Although Daqin has always been at the forefront of the times in terms of weapons and equipment, the hostile countries are also catching up.

For all countries, it is not difficult to obtain samples of Daqin's weapons for imitation. The difficulty is that the forging technology cannot be restored from the samples, and in the absence of core technology, they can only overcome it by themselves.

Under normal circumstances, countries are definitely invincible, but this era has no shortage of wizards, especially those who come from the world of martial arts or fairy tales, such as: Master Xu and his mother, and the master of Jianxin Tomb Li Su Wang and so on.

Xu Fuzi and his mother are hidden characters randomly called, both from the world of "Qin Shi Mingyue", Xu Fuzi forged the famous sword "Shui Han", and the "remnant rainbow" used by Jing Ke to assassinate Qin was made by his mother , both mother and son are top forging masters in the world.

Li Suwang is the hidden character in the special Hundred Calls. He comes from the world of "Young Song Xing". He is the father of Li Xinyue, the mother of Lei Wujie. master forge.

It was because Sui State kidnapped King Li Su and forced Li Su King to work for Sui State that the forging technology of Sui State improved by leaps and bounds.

Many people think that for a master craftsman like Li Suwang who can forge famous swords, it should be easy to forge weapons that are far less powerful than famous swords, but this is not the case.

The weapons made by master craftsmen are often high-end, and they are accidental and irreproducible. The cost of high-end weapons is often high, and the forging time is extremely long, so they cannot be popularized at all.

But what a power or a country needs is not such a high-end weapon, but a weapon that can be popularized and used by ordinary people at the lowest cost and in the shortest time.

Even if Li Suwang is a master in forging, it took a long time to conquer part of the forging technology of Daqin. However, within the same cost, weapon forging is still inferior, but the gap is not so big.

Compared with Daqin's Hengdao, the Sui-style sword's sharpness and hardness are still a little worse, but in battle, the difference is almost negligible.

After all, it is impossible for soldiers from both sides to fight each other like a fighting general. The weapons will collide hundreds of times, and at most a dozen collisions will result in life and death. And this kind of collision at the level of ordinary soldiers will not have much impact on the durability of weapons. .

In addition to weapon forging, the Sui Kingdom was not bad at making lightweight armor. As for heavy armor, it was still far behind Daqin due to resource and cost constraints.

Among the countries, only the wealthy Song State and Wu and Chu could rival Daqin in the forging of heavy armor, forging heavy armor with light weight and high defensive power.

As for long-range weapons, Daqin is still the leader. Both in terms of range and cost, they are better than other countries.

Daqin was able to suppress more than 90 million troops of Wei, Song and Ming with an army of 100 in this Central Plains War, and the bow and crossbow were an indispensable advantage.

The Qiang people firmly believe that they have excellent physical fitness and extremely sturdy folk customs. In the past, they could compete with the Sui and Tang Dynasties with extremely backward weapons and equipment.

After being annihilated by the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qiang lost a lot in the process of being enslaved, but also gained a lot, and now it is equipped with advanced weapons of the Han people.

You must know that among the [-] Qiang army, [-] are veterans who have been on the battlefield.

Whether it is Shuluping or Yelv Deguang, they can clearly feel that the Qiang army, which was formed not long ago, still has a lot of room for improvement in combat effectiveness, but equipped with advanced Han weapons, its combat effectiveness is stronger than before. up.

Strength is the confidence that the Qiang people dare to fight against the Great Qin.

Of course, regarding the composition of this strength, Sui and Tubo are also included.

Only when the Qiang people join hands with the Sui and Tu countries can they dare to be the enemy of the Great Qin. The Qiang people themselves cannot be the opponent of the Great Qin.

Therefore, for this alliance against Qin, Shuluping was full of expectations. As a result, the Sui and Tu countries had already begun to distrust each other as soon as the war started. Such a split alliance can really defeat the united Qin Jun?
Shu Luping was deeply worried about this.

Yang Xingmi looked indifferent and taciturn, but every time he opened his mouth, he could always point to Shu Luping, who was the key point. He knew in his heart that he was hiding something from this woman. Otherwise, this alliance might really exist in name only, so he said:

"Everyone, the Governor has just received the news that Li Jing has personally led [-] Qin troops to Xining to support Meng Tian."

Hearing this, both Lun Qinling and Shuluping were taken aback, they finally understood why Meng Tian gave up Huangyuan.

Li Jing was on his way to Xining, so even if the coalition forces occupied Huangyuan City, they would still not be able to clear the way to Daxing, and would only run into Li Jing head-on.

"The Qin army under Meng Tian alone is already so difficult to deal with, but now there is another Li Jing."

Lun Qinling said solemnly, after all, the 17 allied troops of the Sui Dynasty failed to take down Mengtian's 1 or [-] Qin troops, and instead lost [-] troops.

Now the Qin army not only has an extra [-] fresh troops, but also has less of the burden of Huangyuan. Even if the soldiers are still at a disadvantage in terms of strength, they will not be as passive as before.

"It would be great if there was only Li Jing." Yang Xingmi sighed softly.

Lun Qinling was startled, and quickly asked, "Does the Qin army have other reinforcements?"

"Ah."

Yang Xingmi nodded and said, "Qin generals Long Yang and Li Maozhen are leading an army of [-] to attack Wuwei County. Once Wuwei County falls completely, these [-] Qin troops may also come to Xining."

Lun Qinlington was deep in thought, Meng Tian had 18, Li Jing's [-], plus Longyang and Li Maozhen's [-], which means that in the near future, what they really had to face was [-] Qin troops.

The 26 Sui army, the 18 Tubo army, plus the [-] Qiang army, a total of [-] coalition troops, can they really beat the [-] Qin army?
Lun Qinling's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, because just looking at it from the outside, it can be seen that the comprehensive combat strength of the 18 Qin army is obviously higher than the 26 Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms.

It can be seen that the winning rate of this battle is not high, even if they can win, they will suffer heavy losses.

Tubo paid such a high price for Sui, an outsider, is it really worth it?Lun Qinling couldn't help being shaken in his heart.

Both Yang Xingmi and Yang Xiong saw the turmoil in Lun Qinling, but they could only see it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but at this time Shuluping said: "Don't worry, everyone, even if the entire Wuwei County falls, Longyang And Li Maozhen's [-] Qin army will not be dropped to Xining."

After finishing speaking, Shuluping told everyone present that Yelu Shilu and Yelu Gelu had led [-] Qiang troops out of Yuanmeng and went to Xianmei City.

Everyone at the scene was extremely excited after hearing this. After all, although the defense of Xianmei City is stronger than that of Huangyuan City, it is not a strong city.

Longqi guarded Xianmei City with an army of [-]. Gao Huan's [-] army was indeed unable to defeat it, but if Yelu Shilu's [-] elite soldiers were added, the [-] coalition army could pose a great threat to Xianmei City .

Therefore, after Long Yang and Li Maozhen completely captured Wuwei County, they must have led their troops to support the beautiful Long Qie, instead of going far and wide to support Xining.

At this point, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Without the 26 Qin army of Long and Li, and the 12 coalition army of the three families, they only need to face the [-] Qin army, and the odds of winning are naturally greater.

"I have a proposal, I wonder if the two governors would like to hear it?"

Hearing Shuluping's words, Yang Xingmi and Lun Qinling looked at each other and said in unison: "Madam, please tell me."

"Once Li Jing's army merges with Meng Tian, ​​it will be able to launch a field battle with a large army of over [-] people, and the Qin army is best at large army battles.

Therefore, we must not give Li Jing and Meng Tian a chance to reunite. We should concentrate our superior forces to destroy Meng Tian first before Li Jing arrives. "

Hearing this, Yang Xiong couldn't help asking: "But how can we prevent Li Jing and Meng Tian from reuniting?"

"It's simple."

It was not Shuluping who said this, but Lun Qinling.

After Lun Qinling glanced at Shu Luping with admiration, he said in a deep voice, "As long as we send a large army to start from Huangyuan and make a gesture of supporting Daxing City, Li Jing will have to fight and march to Huangyuan. Otherwise, the trapped dragon situation will not be maintained, and I can rely on Huang Yuan to hold back Li Jing."

A flash of admiration flashed in Shuluping's eyes. This Tubo general really has real skills, and he is not a parallel importer.

But what neither Shuluping nor Yang Xingmi expected was that Lun Qinling would take the initiative to send troops to Daxing to contain Li Jing's mission.

In Lun Qinling's view, encircling and suppressing Mengtian must be a tough battle. The Tubo army has already suffered more than 1 casualties, and they have paid enough sacrifices, so the next step is to fight soy sauce, and there is no need to fight these tough battles. , and the task of containment is more suitable for the Tubo army.

Shuluping and Yang Xingmi probably also guessed what Lun Qinling was thinking, and there was a tinge of weirdness on their faces. After all, that was Li Jing. The difficulty of containing him may not be lower than besieging and killing Meng Tian. I'm afraid there will be more, but since Lun Qinling asked for it, they naturally have no reason to refuse.

Lun Qinling divided the army under his command into two, led [-] troops himself, stationed in Huangyuan City, and made a gesture of supporting Daxing City to attract Li Jing's arrival.

As for the other [-] Tubo troops, they were handed over to the deputy general Dayan Mangbuzhi to cooperate with the Sui army and Qiang army to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Mengtian.

But before Lun Qinling left, he specifically told Dayan Mangbuzhi that he should just fight with soy sauce, and never fight in a dangerous battle with heavy casualties.

Both Yang Xingmi and Shu Luping were well aware of Lun Qinling's careful thoughts, but they both expressed their understanding.

Especially Yang Xingmi, because the Sui army must be the main force in the next battle. If he is still timid and afraid to sacrifice as before, then the three alliances will really exist in name only.

After finalizing the battle plan, Shuluping bid farewell to the generals, but his son Yelu Deguang will lead 18 Qiang troops to join the battle in a few days, and the total force to encircle and suppress Mengtian will reach [-].

On the way back, Shuluping always looked preoccupied.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuo, daughter of Shuluping's nephew Xiao Siwen, cautiously asked, "Auntie, do you have no confidence in this battle?"

Hearing this, Shu Luping glanced at the youthful and beautiful Xiao Chuo, and in this smart girl, she saw the shadow of herself.

This child has wisdom beyond her own, but she still lacks a bit of ruthlessness, so she will bring him by her side and cultivate it carefully.

"Yanyan."

Shuluping took a deep breath, shook his head, and asked, "Do you think the odds of winning this battle are high?"

Xiao Chuo replied without hesitation: "This battle must be won, and it must be won."

Shu Luping was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing, he really did not misunderstand the person, this child is stronger than himself.

As Xiao Chuo said, this battle must be won, and it must be won, because the Qiang people have no room to back down, and no matter whether they can win or not, they must fight with all their strength.

If you win and restore the country, if you lose, you will continue to be enslaved. There is no third choice.
