The next day, Meng Tian led the army to set off, Wang Ji and Meng Wu also set off, and Meng Tian, as a ten-division commander, led his ten recruits to walk in the middle of the team. Looking at the people who came to see off at the gate of Xianyang City, Meng Tian, like other recruits, waved his arms at the people of Xianyang City, his face was full of excitement. In the Qin State, ordinary people want to become nobles can only rely on military merits to obtain, the discipline of the Qin army is very strict, especially the treatment of military merits, very important, this is the first Zhao Huiwen King Daliang made Shang Martingale set the rules, although later Shang Yang was given to die, but Shang Ying to the Qin State left things are still in use.

When he learned that the war on the front line was tight, he ordered the whole army to march day and night, giving the soldiers only three hours a day to rest, and eating on the way out, and spending nearly eight hours a day on the road. The ten recruits led by Meng Tian were all tortured by the rapid march one by one, and gradually became the lowest team in the team, Meng Tian was also a little tired, but he felt that as the grandson of the general and the commander of the team he led, he couldn't say that he was tired first, so he still followed the team every day.

After marching day and night, the army only took three days to reach Hangu Pass, which was hundreds of miles away from Xianyang City. Hangu Pass is the first large pass built since the founding of the Qin State, and it is an important gateway to the Central Plains of the Qin State.

After arranging the garrison of the army, Meng Fu asked Meng Tian to call over, took him to Hangu Pass, and walked on the city wall where five horses could be parallel, Meng Fu pointed to a light in the distance and asked Meng Tian: "Tian'er, do you know what kind of place it is?"

Meng Tian looked in the direction pointed by Meng Fei, and saw a field of lights stretching for dozens of miles, "That's the army of the Six Kingdoms." ”

Meng Wei nodded and said, "That's right, this time, the Six Kingdoms took advantage of the accession of the new monarch of my Qin State to attack my Qin State, and wanted to carve up their land that my Qin State occupied before, I think they are really wishful thinking." ”

Meng Tian said: "With my grandfather sitting here, I will make the Six-Nation Alliance pay the price for invading my Qin State." ”

Meng Wei looked at his grandson, who was taller than himself, and said with a smile: "Don't pat grandpa's sycophants, this time it was Xinlingjun of Wei who planned the Six-Nation Alliance, this person can't underestimate him, according to legend, this person once worshipped Guiguzi as a teacher, and later returned to Wei to become Xinlingjun in order to inherit the throne." According to the secret report, the reason why Xinlingjun lobbied the five countries to send troops to attack Qin Yi was because Xinlingjun's mother died early, and the king of Wei now favors a woman, and this woman gave birth to a son to the king of Wei, and the king of Wei wants to make this child the crown prince, so he wants to do a big thing, so that the king of Wei cannot abolish him, so he will rush to attack my Qin country between the new and old kings of our Qin. ”

Meng Tian understood that this Xinling Jun wanted to make some military achievements for himself by attacking Qin, so that the King of Wei would have no reason to abolish his position as the crown prince, but it was impossible to attack Qin by relying on the military strength of Wei alone, so he united the armies of the five countries to pave the way for himself. Meng Tian said: "Do the other six countries know about this matter? If they knew that this attack on my Qin State was just for the selfish interests of this Xinling Jun, I think they would definitely not be willing." ”

"Good Tian'er, you got to the point in one sentence. Meng Fu said appreciatively, "This coalition army should just want to take advantage of the fire after my king ascends the throne, they will also come for their own interests, those cities in front of them are not garrisoned by my Qin generals, so they will not be hindered much and hit Hangu Pass, if we can give them some hardships tomorrow, I think their military spirit will slowly weaken, and then we will attack again, we will be able to defeat the coalition army and recapture our territory." Tomorrow the two armies will fight, and you will lead the recruits not to go to the battlefield first, just stay here and watch, do you understand?"

Seeing that his grandfather only let himself watch the battlefield here, but did not let himself go into battle to kill the enemy, he protested: "Didn't grandpa say okay, you will let me go to the battlefield to kill the enemy if I pass your test, why did you change your hexagram here again?"

Meng Fu patted Meng Tian on the shoulder and said: "This is mainly for two reasons, first of all, before the expedition, your mother told me and your father that you can follow me on the expedition, but you can't go to the battlefield, otherwise, even if I agree to you to enlist, she will not let you follow me out, and then your subordinates are all recruits like you, and the recruits have changed a lot on the battlefield, so let you lead them to feel the taste of the battlefield first, as for when you can go into battle to kill the enemy, I will naturally give you a chance." ”

When Meng Tian heard his grandfather talk about his mother, he had to give up. In Mengfu, Meng Tian is most afraid of his mother, and Meng Yi is most afraid of his father. Because her mother is the eldest princess of Qin, her mother is generally in charge of things at home, and Meng Tian is the one with the strictest discipline from her mother, so Meng Tian is most afraid of her mother at home.

On the morning of the second day, Meng Tian stood on the wall of Hangu Pass, watching his grandfather and father ride out of the city with soldiers to meet the Six-Nation Alliance, and clenched the spear in his hand. The ten recruits under Meng Tian were very happy to learn that they didn't have to go to the battlefield to fight hard, but they didn't dare to show it when they looked at their heads, so they didn't dare to show it.

The topography of Hangu Pass is very peculiar, located in the middle of two mountains, each of which extends outward for hundreds of miles, forming a natural city wall, which can defend against enemy attacks by simply repairing a little fortification on the mountain. Behind Hangu Pass is a mountain road that has been trimmed by generations of Qin people to accommodate ten horses walking side by side, with gaps in between. There is a mountain road dozens of meters long in front of the pass, so if the enemy wants to attack, this ten meters of mountain road is the archer's shooting range, as long as there are enough archers and bows and arrows, that is, how many people will die. Out of the mountain road, there is a large open space, which is just right for fighting the enemy army.

The battle plan formulated by Meng Fu the night before was to defend the Hangu Pass to the death, so as to exhaust the patience of the Six-Nation Coalition before attacking. However, Meng Wu and Wang Yi proposed to fight with the enemy army first to get back the lost military heart before, so that although the coalition army had a large number of troops, the soldiers of the Qin State rekindled their confidence, even if the coalition army wanted to attack Hangu Pass directly, it would be twice the result with half the effort to defend it. Meng Fu listened to the advice of the two and decided to lead the army to fight the Six-Nation Alliance tomorrow to demoralize the coalition army.

On the battlefield, the Six-Nation Alliance gathered together, looking at the Qin army on the opposite side, which had fewer troops than themselves, many generals were laughing, laughing at the fact that the Qin army had sent such a few people to die. Only some generals who had fought with the Qin army couldn't laugh, because they knew that the Qin army's combat power was terrible, and now it was the famous general of the Qin army who led the Qin army to fight.

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji rode on the war horse, pointed at the general in the center of the Qin army with the whip in his hand, and asked the person next to him, "That person is the Qin general Mengfu?"

The general next to him replied: "Yes, this time the Qin army led the troops to fight is Meng Fu, as well as his son Meng Wu, in addition to the general Wang Di, although these three people are not as famous as another Qin general Wang Qian, but the king still should not underestimate them, Meng Fu's art of governing the army is the best in the Seven Kingdoms, the strength of the Mengjia army cultivated by his subordinates is unimaginable, the Mengjia army has not been defeated on the big battlefield for more than ten years since its establishment, so although we are more numerous than them this time, it is better to be careful." ”

After listening to this, Xinling Jun Wei Wuji frowned, this time it was not easy to lobby the Six Kingdoms to attack the Qin State, just to be able to strike at the Qin State when the new monarch of the Qin State ascended the throne and the court was unstable, and to consolidate a good foundation for his future crown princeship, the small cities that attacked the Qin State before did not take much effort, and now as long as the Hangu Pass is laid, the Qin State will have no danger to defend, but it has encountered a hard nail here, is it really that God does not help himself?
