Volume 2 Dancing with the Dragon Chapter 91 The Battle of the Encirclement

In the next few days, the monkey people and the soldiers left behind began to set up grass to confuse the coalition forces, while Xiang Liang and Xiang Yi set off separately to the west and north.

The walls of Hangu Pass also began to crumble rapidly, and the Guanxi garrison sent a signal that Xiang Liang's army had reached a safe distance, and the monkey man ordered the gate to be opened, shouting: "Flee quickly, there is a traitor in the pass!!"

The allied forces were overjoyed and poured into the pass like a tidal wave, shouting loudly to celebrate this rare strategic victory. The prime minister of Chu was even more smiling, and was about to pursue, when General Zhao Guoli stepped forward and asked, "The commander wants to pursue the deserters?"

The Prime Minister of Chu nodded with a smile, "Of course, Xianyang City has no need to be barrierd, and the day of breaking Qin is just around the corner!"

"The Qin army's stubborn defense for several days shows that this pass is extremely important, and this easy victory is too strange, what is the traitor that the Qin army is talking about?" General Zhao Guoli frowned and asked rhetorically.

The prime minister of Chu State showed disdain, "If General Li thinks something is wrong, then stay in Guanzhong, and let me inform you when I enter Xianyang City!"

Seeing them leave, General Li forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Assemble the troops and prepare to guard the pass!"

In addition to the soldiers of the Zhao State, the coalition army pulled a long line towards Xianyang City, like a giant snake slowly crawling towards the prey in its eyes.

_

Chu Guocheng said to the Wei general beside him: "This Qin army is really brave, less than 10,000 people can still hold on for a few days, I admire it very much, today God helps me, can I break this pass, General Gongsun, can you break Xianyang City in this battle?"

General Gongsun of Wei made an analysis: "The best way to fight this battle is to fight quickly, with the momentum of our soldiers to break through the pass, there is a chance that the Qin thieves can be annihilated in one fell swoop, if we can't take Xianyang City before the winter comes, then we will have no chance to reach here." ”

The prime minister of Chu nodded in agreement: "What General Gongsun said is very true, and the prime minister also thinks so, General Zhao Guoli doesn't have to be too timid, we are 500,000 troops!" Before the words fell, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the plain area, and in the face of the charge of the cavalry of the Qin State, he smiled slightly, and ordered the coalition army to gather in the middle to prepare to meet the enemy.

What the prime minister of Chu did not expect was that this group of Qin cavalry was not like the ordinary cavalry long sword armor encountered before, but all of them were giant shield Changge, and the edges of the giant shield were covered with spikes.

After the battle, the Qin army was like a bamboo, and in a moment, it broke up the formation of the coalition army and pressed towards the prime minister of Chu.

Behind the giant shield team were light cavalry with long swords and bamboo armor, dealing a fatal blow to the fallen enemy, leaving the coalition powerless wherever they went.

General Wang in the cavalry was armed with an iron bow, and there were many powerful arrows, such as missing shots, sometimes one arrow hit two people, and the two people who were hit by the arrows continued to fly backwards, knocking down five or six people behind, and then each died tragically under the iron hooves of the Qin army.

When Xiang Liang saw the third brother and more than a dozen bloodstained Qin soldiers, his eyes were hot, and the five thousand people were gone, and he shouted: "Attack!"

At this time, Xiang Yi also issued an attack order, and Xiang Liang's army launched an attack at the beginning and end of the coalition army, and the subordinate soldiers were unusual, each of them was extremely brave, and the coalition army was beaten to the ground, retreating to the dense forest in the mountain range, and the endless mountain peaks were like a token of urging to shake the hearts of the coalition soldiers, so they had to retreat along the official road at the foot of the mountain to Hangu Pass.

The whole situation began to tilt in favor of the Qin army, and the coalition soldiers began to concentrate on protecting the main generals of various countries, but as the pressure increased, the army was in turmoil, and they all rushed to flee, and stampedes occurred frequently.

Xiang Liang was quite smooth, but the coalition forces had no intention of responding to the battle and were defeated and retreated.

And Xiang Yi's pressure began to increase, and groups of coalition troops began to charge at them, and the crowd vaguely saw the figure of the prime minister of Chu and the generals of various countries, and when he was anxious, 50,000 iron horsemen led by General Zhao Guoli in the direction of Hangu Pass pressed behind him.

Xiang Yi was helpless, ordered to retreat to the plains, and gave up this opportunity to kill the commander of the coalition army and escaped from the encirclement of the coalition army.

When the prime minister of Chu and the generals of various countries retreated to Hangu Pass, Xiang Liang, General Wang, and Xiang Yi Shengli joined forces ten miles outside the pass, ready to break through at any time.

Chu Guocheng bowed deeply to General Li of Zhao Guo, and said gratefully: "Thank you General Li for saving me, please accept this great grace..."

General Li hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the prime minister of Chu State, "Xiangye doesn't have to be like this, please forgive the old man for violating the order, at the beginning, it was also out of speculation, and there was no basis, now we still have a chance, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, and the back is worry-free, the main force of the Qin State will definitely be eaten away outside the Hangu Pass, and when the time is ripe, it can attack Xianyang City in one fell swoop, and the Qin State will die." ”

The prime minister of Chu State nodded, and had to admire this 'Northern Frontier God of War' in his heart, and when he saw the orderly arrangement of defending the city, he was even more convinced that he could get this number in vain.

_

In the Xiang Liang formation, General Wang said with a happy face: "Being able to fight side by side with General Xiang is a great joy in life, General Xiang's clever calculation is admired by the young general, this battle will make the coalition children retreat, what should we do?"

After Xiang Liang was modest, he smiled and said: "The success of this battle still depends on the courage of General Wang, breaking the city is not as good as defending the city, and the loss will be much greater, so you can't attack hard, you can only attack secretly." ”

After winning the battle, the guard of Hangu Pass also became bolder, and said loudly: "There is an idea below, there is a secret passage to our side that can be used..."

Xiang Liang was puzzled and asked, and the old face of the guard turned red, "I'm ashamed to say that the secret passage is the retreat left by the young general, and it can be used at this time." ”

The monkey man was overjoyed: "It's best to have this shortcut, what if I can sneak into the pass and set fire to them?"

Everyone nodded, and they all praised this secret passage for escaping their lives at this time!

In the next few days, the soldiers in Guanzhong really couldn't retreat, and Xiang Liang only issued several rounds of symbolic tackling actions, and there was no intention of fighting to the death, so the two sides were deadlocked.

The unexplained misfire of grain and grass in Guanzhong attracted great attention from the coalition forces, and then they strengthened their vigilance.

However, the general of Yan Guo was still seriously injured under a slightly curved iron needle, which made the generals of various countries frightened, and each increased the manpower of his personal guards to prevent the threat of this 'wolf's tooth needle' to himself.

In the following days, the clothes and weapons of the generals of various countries were lost for no reason, the steamed meals made the subordinate soldiers vomit and leak, and even the water needed for life was with a strong fishy atmosphere, all kinds of strange phenomena made the prime minister of Chu State have a headache, no matter how vigilant it will always happen again every once in a while, and the tricks are endless, making people unguardable.

The prime minister of Chu scolded the Qin army for its loss, discussed with the generals of various countries, and decided to withdraw the troops.

_

After recapturing Hangu Pass, Mingzhe was worried that the third brother would make a move, so he returned to Xianyang City to investigate first, while Wenqing guarded Xiang Liang who won the battle alone.

Xiang Liang stayed in Guanzhong for a month, and only returned to Xianyang City with Xiang Yi, Xiang Yuan, and General Wang when the snowflakes were flying.

Wen Qing flew slowly in the air, and when he saw Mingzhe flying towards it, he asked, "How is the situation in the city?"

Mingzhe smiled at it, raised his hand to touch his arms, and smiled: "There is nothing to do in the city, but I have a baby, please look at the tattoo!"

When it realized that this person was not Mingzhe, a huge suction force came, and its body unconsciously flew towards the purple gourd in the hand of the fake Mingzhe.

Mingzhe fell from the sky, shouted, and kicked Wenqing out dozens of feet, but he was sucked into the purple gourd.

The man didn't expect this obstructive Mingzhe to be sucked in, and he was angry for a while, so he had to cover the gourd lid, and the golden light disappeared among the white clouds in a flash.

The tattoo is in a hurry, and the 'Hundred Rivers Water Flow' is coming out, but I only feel that Xiang Liang and the people below are riding, where is there still the shadow of the fake Mingzhe, swaying a few times in the air, and almost falling into Xiang Liang's team...
