Chapter Twenty-Six: The Siege

Meng Tian's subordinates, who were guarding the war horses at the west gate, saw their men and horses rushing out, and hurriedly drove the war horses forward. Because they were surrounded before, the remaining war horses of the Qin army ran and died, and less than one of the ten war horses that rushed out followed, so when Meng Wu and Meng Tian saw that there were war horses coming to respond, they were very happy.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zhe led the archers to catch up, and after meeting with Meng Wu and Meng Tian, Zhou Zhe said to Meng Wu and Meng Tian: "General, young general, General Meng Lao sent the last general to respond, since the two generals have rushed out, let's hurry back to Hanguguan." ”

Meng Wu looked at the rear of the army, and the enemy's shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and said, "Okay, Vice General Zhou, let's hurry back to Hangu Pass." Tian'er, your horse is running faster, you should rush back to Hangu Pass first to report the military situation to your grandfather. ”

Meng Tian took the reins of the sweaty horse from his subordinates, and when he heard that his father wanted to rush back to Hangu Pass by himself, he said, "Yes, father." After speaking, he turned over his horse and galloped towards Hangu Pass.

Meng Wu and Zhou Zhe also did not delay any longer, and ordered the Qin army, which was unable to move, to mount their horses first, and all the Qin troops also galloped in the direction of Hangu Pass.

Xin Lingjun heard the soldiers' report on the military situation, saying that the Qin army had broken through and was now heading towards Hangu Pass. Xin Lingjun was furious and said: "How did this Du Hui do it, tens of thousands of people can't beat thousands of people, and it won't make people laugh when it spreads." Go, pass the order to him, and order him to destroy this Qin army for me, otherwise he won't have to come back. ”

Wang An, the envoy of the King of Wei, sneered on the side: "Xinling Jun is really a good soldier, tonight's battle can go down in history, I really don't know how future generations will evaluate the king." ”

After listening to Wang An's words, Wei Wuji looked at it coldly, and said: "If the envoy doesn't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person, besides, today I am still the supreme commander of this military camp, and the envoy doesn't want me to return to the Wei State to present to the king, and it is written in the brief that the Qin army attacked the camp today, and the envoy was killed by the Qin army in the chaos." ”

After hearing this, Wang An pointed his finger at Xinlingjun and reprimanded angrily: "Xinlingjun, you dare? Even if I die, do you think the king can believe your words? Even so, when you return to the position of the king of China, you will not be able to sit down, and it must be my nephew who will sit on the throne in the future." Then he took his guards and walked away.

Xin Lingjun looked at Wang An's back and didn't know what he was thinking, maybe this was the last time he led the army to the expedition, and when he returned to China, he didn't know what kind of scene was waiting for him in the court.

The sky gradually brightened, and the outline of Hangu Pass gradually appeared in the field of vision of the tired Qin army, and the Qin army, who had been running all night, used its last strength and ran towards Hangu Pass. After receiving the military order from Xinling Jun, Du Hui was even more determined to wipe out the Qin army in front, so he left the infantry marching slowly in the rear and led the cavalry to chase hard.

The Qin army at the back saw the pursuers who were about to come behind them, and hurriedly shouted: "The enemy army has caught up, it is cavalry, ready to fight." ”

After Meng Wu and Zhou Zhe, who were at the front of the team, heard this, the two glanced at each other, and Meng Wu shouted loudly: "All the soldiers who are not riding horses should not return to Hangu Pass as soon as possible, and the soldiers who have war horses should turn their horses and follow me to meet the enemy." After hearing Meng Wu's order, the infantry in the Qin army, who did not have horseback, ran from both sides of the line to the front of the line, leaving a road in the middle for the cavalry to turn their horses to meet the enemy.

As soon as the Qin army team finished responding, Du Hui rode a horse and killed, and without saying a word, he shouted and killed Mengwu with a knife, and the allied cavalry behind him also picked up their weapons and rode forward to kill.

As soon as the soldiers of the two armies fought, they directly entered the white-hot situation, slashing and slashing, one side was the Qin army that was sleepy and tired all night, and the other side was the six-nation coalition army that was attacked all night and sleepless, and the morale and spirit of the two rooms have reached the limit, depending on whether the Qin army reinforcements from Hangu Pass came quickly or the foot soldiers led by Du Hui came quickly, and which side of the reinforcements entered the battlefield first and could win the victory.

"Rush. "The first to arrive at the battlefield were the reinforcements from Hangu Pass of the Qin State. Meng Tian rode a sweaty horse to Hangu Pass, did not have time to rest, then explained the military situation to Meng Fei, Meng Wei learned that his son and grandson were safe to rush out of the encirclement, relieved, and then learned that the coalition pursuers were in hot pursuit, so he quickly mobilized the cavalry infantry in Hangu Pass who did not participate in the attack camp added up to about 10,000 horses, and then half defended the city and half followed Meng Tian out of the pass to meet Meng Wu. Meng Tian didn't stop at Hangu Pass, packed up his armor and led 5,000 men and horses out of the pass to help his father.

Due to Meng Tian's new force entering the battlefield, the morale of the Qin army was greatly increased, and the more than 5,000 energetic Qin troops were like half of the gods to the allied soldiers, and the more than 3,000 cavalry led by Du Hui were scattered with just one face. Du Hui saw that the enemy's reinforcements came so quickly, he knew that something was wrong, and then his own foot soldiers also rushed to the battlefield, although the morale of his side was not as good as the Qin army, but his own side had more men and horses than the Qin army, and it was not certain who would lose and who would win in the end. Thinking of this, Du Hui settled down, and cut down a Qin cavalryman who was holding a knife to cut himself off his horse, and then he saw Meng Wu who was killing the enemy in the crowd, so he drove his horse towards Meng Wu to kill.

Meng Wuhun didn't know that danger was coming, and he only cared about slashing and killing the enemy in front of him, and he didn't know anything about the situation behind him. Seeing that Du Hui's knife was about to slash at Meng Wu's back, but was blocked by another spear, Du Hui looked at the person who had ruined his good deeds, and recognized this person as Meng Tian at a glance.

At this time, the sun rose, and Meng Tian rode to see that his troops and the enemy were fighting again, so he ordered the Qin soldiers who came to the rescue with him to start charging and fighting freely. After Meng Tian cut down four or five coalition cavalry, he inadvertently saw an enemy soldier slashing at his father with a knife, so he hurriedly drove forward to help his father block the knife. Meng Wu heard the movement behind him, and realized that if his son hadn't come early, he might have cut people in half by now. Seeing that his son had arrived, Meng Wu nodded to Meng Tian, and then rode away to fight.

Du Hui was very angry when he saw that Meng Tian had ruined his good deeds, and waved the knife in his hand to look at Meng Tian. Meng Tian blocked it with his spear and picked Du Hui's war knife apart, and then the spear changed vertically and horizontally, and the tip of the spear went straight to Du Hui's chest. Du Hui put the knife back on guard, blocked it at a distance of three or four centimeters from the tip of the spear to his chest, and pressed down on Meng Tian's spear with all his strength. Meng Tian blocked Du Hui's attack, and pressed down his spear head with his knife, so that he tried his best to pull upward, and instantly picked Du Hui off the horse. Du Hui didn't expect that Meng Tian still had so much strength in fighting, and for a moment he was beaten by Meng Tian from the horse to the horse, and before he could get up when he was lying on the ground, Meng Tian's gun was aimed at his head.

Meng Tian rode on his horse and shouted: "Soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, your general has been captured alive by me, I advise you to lay down your weapons and stop making useless struggles, otherwise our Qin army will really go on a killing spree." ”
