Chapter 2174 Xuanyuan gives Xuanyuan a gift

Chapter 2170: Xuanyuan gives Xuanyuan a gift

 The collective name for the Qin army after they invaded Youzhou during the Battle of Yanjing. The whole process can be seen as two stages.

 In the first stage, the Qin army faced off against the Northern Han Dynasty, no, it was Yan Ni, because the Luoyang court had never recognized the name Northern Han Dynasty.

 The second stage, that is, after the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, the entire army marched eastward to confront the Qing army.

  Generally speaking, it was easier to defeat Yanjing. Except for some heavy casualties in the final defense battle of Yanjing, the Qin army basically did not suffer much losses.

  But after facing the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the situation completely changed.

The Qing army's combat effectiveness, toughness, morale, and warlikeness far exceeded the expectations of the Qin generals. It was indeed much better than the four countries that had already been destroyed: Zhao, Han, Liang, and Yan.

Although the Qin army was invincible in the world, it was not satisfied with the hard battle against the Qing army. The most important thing was that the Qing army held on to one-third of an acre and made it clear that it would fight a protracted war with the Qin army in order to hold back the Qin army heading north. The main force was to fight for opportunities for the four kingdoms of Shu, Chu, Tang and Sui who raised troops in the south to attack Qin.

In this way, the war gradually fell into a stalemate stage, and it was at this time that the real turning point of the Battle of Youbeiping came.

Xuanyuan led a lone army to make a surprise attack and successfully captured Lulongsai, which completely revitalized the dead game of Youzhou. What followed was an even more brutal offensive and defensive battle at Yanshan. Countless Qin troops died on the way. .

　　After taking over one and a half states of Qingbei in Jizhou, the total casualties of the Qin army were about 90,000. Afterwards, the surrendered troops were collected and reorganized. The total strength of the troops did not decrease but increased.

 While taking six counties in the west of Youzhou, only half of the state was taken, the total casualties of the Qin army reached an astonishing 120,000.

 The total casualties in the battle against Yan were only 30,000 to 40,000. In other words, although the Manchu army of 2,340,000 was destroyed in this battle, the Qin army itself suffered nearly 80,000 casualties.

Of course, more than 70% of the soldiers who died in the battle were reorganized, and the loyalty of the surrendered troops was not guaranteed for the time being. If the Qin army really used the main force to attack the fortress, the casualties would not be so large.

　　【The Battle of Youzhou, involving more than 700,000 people before and after, has reached the battle standard, with a total of 470,000 enemies annihilated, 360,000 killed, 110,000 captured, and 120,000 self-inflicted losses.

 The battle loss ratio in this battle is 3.9:1, score: A, reward: a bronze summoning card. 】

　　【The Battle of Youbeiping, involving more than 500,000 people, can be constituted as a separate battle. In this battle, 240,000 enemies were killed and 80,000 were lost;

 The loss ratio in this battle is 3:1, score: A, reward: a bronze summoning card. 】

Qin Hao was actually very dissatisfied with such a battle rating.

 Having fought hard for so long and suffered 120,000 casualties, you can give me an A rating?

 At least there has to be an S.

In the Battle of Beiping, the Qin army actually fought quite beautifully. It was definitely a rare victory.

But in order to ensure that the main force suffered too much loss, Qin Hao chose to use the surrendered troops as cannon fodder. When the number of cannon fodder casualties increased, the system's score for the battle would naturally decrease.

 Qin Hao was dissatisfied with this, but it was of no use. After all, it was his own choice.

 It can only be said that there are gains and losses.

  【The current host has:

 3 gold summoning cards, 1 gold intelligence summoning card, 2 bronze summoning cards, 2 bronze random summoning cards, 4 million population summoning cards, 1 bronze hundred summons card, and 1 random hundred summons card. 】

Qin Hao did not stay in Wujing for too long. The county was severely harmed by the Manchus. The whole city was eerie and the Qin army felt awkward staying there, so he led an army of 30,000 to Lulongsai. .

The Battle of Lulong was the most brutal battle among all the battles in Youzhou.

Gongsun Xuanyuan used 10,000 elites to resist the fierce attack of 100,000 Qing troops from the east and west directions. He held on until the end of the war and achieved a record of killing 30,000 enemies and beheading the East Route Army general Fu Jian.

Out of the 10,000 elites, only 2,000 were left, and nearly 80% of the soldiers were killed. It is not difficult to imagine how difficult it was for Lulong to fight.

After arriving at Lulongsai, Qin Hao was stunned. He could be seen crying like a river. The corpses were piled up into a hill. The city gates were also in tatters, as if they might collapse at any time.

 “See lord.”

All the Lulong soldiers headed by Xuanyuan shouted in unison, but they were a little weak. Qin Hao dismounted and walked over on foot. The two thousand soldiers were all injured and nearly half disabled, but they still came to greet Qin Hao and welcome the good news of their victory even if they were on crutches.

As for the generals, Gongsun He was killed in the battle, Zhang Han was captured, and the general Xuanyuan was also injured. Among them, Jia Fu was the most seriously injured and was carried out by the soldiers while lying on a stretcher.

Sun Lingming had the indestructible power of the Vajra to protect his body. He was not seriously injured, but his eyes were darkened, his energy was weak, and he looked sluggish. It was obvious that his energy and energy were greatly consumed.

 “Okay, okay, you are all good.”

Qin Hao patted the shoulders of the soldiers one by one and said with tears in his eyes: "Soldiers, your sacrifice has brought decades of stability to Youzhou. You are all heroes.

 Jiang Jiong, collect the corpses of all the soldiers. I will take them home. "

With the words "go home", these rich and powerful men could no longer hold on, and they all hugged each other and cried together.

Those who have not personally experienced this battle will never understand their hardship and despair, and the only belief that supports them is four words: go home alive.

The arrival of 30,000 Qin troops at Lulong means that the west of Lulong is completely owned by Qin, and the Qin army can leave Lulong east to attack the Manchu Qing at any time, while the Manchu Qing can only be passively attacked, which can be said to be innately invincible land.

If possible, Qin Hao also wanted to immediately march eastward to take back the four counties and one vassal state that were still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty's strength was greatly reduced, and its military strength was reduced by half. If Qin Hao sent troops, he would be able to easily unify Youzhou.

But Luoyang has been delayed for too long, and the attack in the north and the defense in the south have been fighting for so long. The Qin army's food reserves are almost exhausted, and they are almost unstoppable, and they really can't continue to fight.

Of course, the most important thing for Qin Hao to give up the Eastern Campaign was that he was sure not to waste a single soldier, but only through negotiation, he sent four counties and one vassal country to Agu's thugs to come over.

 So, if you can avoid fighting, it is better to try not to fight first.

 In the next few days, carriages continued to travel between Lulong and Lulong, but the carriages were not loaded with weapons, food and grass, but with carriages of human heads.

At first Xuanyuan Sun Lingming and other generals were puzzled by this, but when they heard that their lord was going to use these heads to build a palace in Lulong fortress to frighten the foreign tribes, they all became excited and even started to do it themselves. Help with transportation.

After several days of tireless transport by the Qin army's generals, a hill piled with the heads of Qing soldiers, fifteen meters high and fifty meters wide, rose up ten miles outside Lulong fortress.

Qin Hao looked at the Skull Mountain in front of him and said: "It was poured with cement to seal it afterwards, which not only prevents epidemics, but also ensures the long-term preservation of this Beijing temple."

"My lord is considering that if so many heads are piled up together, if they are not cremated, it will easily cause a plague." Gongsun Xuanyuan said with a smile.

Qin Hao was stunned after hearing this, and then showed a look of surprise.

Xuanyuan had always called him King Qin before, but just now he called him Lord Duke?

 Could it be that his behavior of disregarding internal worries and fighting against foreigners with all his strength convinced Xuanyuan, the legendary Holy Emperor?

 “Brother Xuanyuan, you...”

Before Qin Hao finished speaking, Sun Lingming came over carrying a large stone weighing several hundred kilograms and said with a naive smile: "My lord, I have found the stone tablet you want. Let's see if it is big enough."

"enough."

How could Qin Hao, as a literary giant of the generation, not leave something for such a big thing as the construction of the Beijing Temple? This would be a cultural treasure for future generations, so he asked Sun Lingming to find a large stone tablet.

With that said, Qin Hao was about to draw his sword and carve words, but was stopped by Gongsun Xuanyuan.

Qin Hao looked at Xuanyuan in confusion, but Xuanyuan took off his sword, held it up with both hands and said with a smile: "My lord, this sword is sharp, please use it to carve words."

That is the Xuanyuan Sword, the first of the ten famous generals.

Although Gongsun Xuanyuan did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he wanted to give the Xuanyuan Sword to Qin Hao.

Xuanyuan, who is not a prince, is no longer worthy of holding this holy sword. If he continues to keep it, it will only cause trouble. Besides, Qin Hao is also a democratic person he recognizes and is fully qualified to be the master of Xuanyuan Sword.
