Luo Weiran rode his horse and slowly stepped into Hangu Pass, Qian Zhongyi blocked all the gates of Hangu Pass, but under the situation of all the dead and wounded in the city, these lost their meaning, and the Han soldiers climbed the city wall, and soon cleared the obstacles and opened the gates.

In addition to the Han army, there are no more Qin people standing in the pass, and it is hard to imagine that two days ago, fierce battles broke out here, and hundreds of thousands of Han troops were firmly blocked from the gate.

Luo Weiran boasted that he had been in battle for a long time, and he had seen any kind of hell scene, but when he stepped into the Hangu Pass, the scene in front of him still made his stomach churn up and down, and the sour taste was overflowing, and he was almost about to vomit on the spot, and the Han soldiers who led the way to the pass were also pale at this time, and some were leaning against the walls around them, bending over and vomiting.

The scene in the gate is too miserable to see.

"Is there still anything alive?" Holding back the discomfort, Luo Weiran asked in a low voice.

"I found some, but the situation is not very good, and I don't know if I can save it." The military pass, which entered the customs in advance, had obviously vomited once, and while talking, he was still retching. "Some were also found intact and uninjured."

"Huh?" Luo Weiran was a little surprised, "Is there still resistance in the pass?" ”

"No more!" The officer shook his head, "These survivors are scattered in different locations, and their mental condition looks bad. After a pause, he continued: "There are about 100 people who survived, and it seems that they are all frightened crazy. ”

Luo Weiran was silent for a moment, then turned to the adjutant beside him and said: "Inform the follow-up troops not to enter the city first, let the engineer troops come in first, and in addition, ask His Majesty the Emperor to gather all the military doctors in the First Military Region to also go first, and save as much as you can." ”

"Got it, Commander!" The adjutant turned and rode away.

"Those Qin people who are not injured and have mental problems. Let them go. Luo Weiran said: "We need them to spread the situation in Hangu Pass, and let those Qin troops know that resistance is only a dead end, and surrender is their only way out." ”

The attack on Hangu Pass was only fought in two battles in the real sense, the first battle should be said to be lost, but the second battle completely annihilated the Qin army, and it took only three days before and after. But it took ten days to clean up the mess in Hangu Pass, a large number of Qin army corpses were transported out, concentrated in one place, and cremated in batches, during this period, the main force of the Han army did not step into Hangu Pass, Xu Yuan and Gao Yuan accepted Luo Weiran's suggestion, not wanting the Han army to see the tragic situation in Hangu Pass, and the war behind. Produce some psychological shadows.

Ten days later, the main force of the First Military Region crossed the Hangu Pass and began to advance towards Xianyang. So far, the three wars of the Han Dynasty have three routes. Towards Xianyang, the ruling center of the Qin State, he made great strides. In front of them, there is no more natural danger that can stop them.

In Changwu County, another large army that the Qin State withdrew from Bashu was under the leadership of Bai Qi. is heading towards Xianyang, Lu Chao has already set a strategy for the decisive battle in Xianyang, and Bai Qi is also clear. If he didn't want to be annihilated by the Han army, the only way out was to approach Xianyang.

The dilapidated Qin State is now unable to provide him with effective support, the army of tens of thousands of people, even rations have become a problem, and the poverty of the people along the way is shocking, even if they scrape the ground, they are just barely filling their stomachs.

Only by returning to Xianyang can it be possible to survive, and under the situation that all resources are concentrated in Xianyang, only where can they have the slightest chance of turning the tables, although it is only a glimmer of opportunity.

"General, in Xianyang, we have recruited hundreds of thousands of young people, formed a large army, built a solid defense line on the periphery of Xianyang, we have built thousands of artillery, distributed around Xianyang, the current Xianyang, can be said to be impregnable, as long as General Bai and General Xu led the troops back to Xianyang in time, we can be under the city of Xianyang, let the Han army shed blood." The messenger from Xianyang gushed to Bai Qi about the current situation in Xianyang. For Bai Qi, Lu Chao is not so relieved, the southern border army Wang Ming's surrender without a fight, and his most trusted brother and political ally Mingtai's farewell, all made Lu Chao have a serious sense of distrust of the generals outside, he sent envoys to Bai Qi and Xu Yahua's army, intending to monitor and urge the two generals who still have heavy troops to return to Xianyang on time, in Lu Chao's plan, these two armies will play an important role in the next Xianyang decisive battle.

Listening to the words of the envoy, Bai Qi smiled indifferently, the so-called hundreds of thousands of troops are just some farmers who have just put down their hoes, and a large part of them are afraid that they are still forced to come, what is the combat effectiveness of these people, regardless of whether it is known, the real elite of Xianyang now, is only less than 30,000 troops of Lu Chao's descendants, so he will eagerly look forward to Bai Qi's rapid withdrawal to Xianyang.

For Lu Chao's sudden announcement of his ascension to the throne as emperor, Bai Qi was shocked, but it was also indispensable, because the current Qin State was already under Lu Chao's control in fact, and what was missing was just a name. If Lu Chao leads them to win this battle, what if he is the emperor, as long as the Qin State can survive again, it is enough, if it is defeated, everyone will go to see the king of Hades together, one hundred, not to mention, what can this emperor do to himself now?

"Where is General Xu retreating now?" Ignoring the envoy's impassionedness, Bai Qi asked lightly.

"General Xu has now arrived in Zhengning, almost at the same time as General Bai, General Xu's command is divided into three divisions, the first part protects all the craftsmen and technicians, and has returned to Xianyang in a month, and the other is defending at Hangu Pass, blocking the advance of the Han army, General Xu is leading the main force, protecting a large number of people who are retreating to Xianyang, in terms of speed, it must be slower than the general."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, he and Xu Yahua returned to Xianyang, the army on both sides combined, there are more than 100,000 people, plus the army in Xianyang, the people who can really step on the battlefield to fight with the Han army are close to 200,000 people, although the number is insufficient, but after all, it is a home battle, if Xianyang is really like what this envoy said, he has already built a perfect defense network, and has such a number of artillery, then this final decisive battle is not without a chance of victory.

For the artillery of the Han army, Bai Qi has a profound image.

In fact, Bai Qi's army did not experience a large-scale artillery battle, unlike Xu Yahua's troops, the war with the Han army, basically the artillery opened the way first, Bai Qi's new army since it became an army, it was busy suppressing the peasant rebels in the country one after another, and did not have the opportunity to fight with the main force of the Han army, until the later stage of the war, when the rebel army of Shu County gradually became a climate, directly occupied Shu County and began to expand to Ba County, Bai Qi confronted them head-on, but recently, the Bashu rebel army received a large amount of assistance from the Han State, The artillery appeared in front of Bai Qi for the first time, and the earth-shattering array and huge lethality when the artillery was fired made Bai Qi frightened, and what he faced was only a small-scale artillery bombardment, and it was difficult for him to imagine that hundreds of cannons bombarding in one shot was that terrifying scene.

And the information that just came back was that when Hangu Pass was broken by the Han army, it was attacked by hundreds of artillery pieces of the Han army at the same time.

Now he is not in a relaxed form, the Bashu rebel army behind him has been following behind under the leadership of Niu Teng, Wen Yi, and He Yong, and the information that came a few days ago made Bai Qi more vigilant. Several cavalry units of the Han army bypassed Xianyang and dispersed the young men who had gathered to Xianyang in all parts of the Qin state, and now from the information collected, the three independent cavalry divisions of the Han state have all appeared.

Now Bai Qi is worried that these three independent cavalry divisions will target him.

Will the Han army allow themselves to return to Xianyang so easily? Not necessarily. Sending the messenger away, standing in front of the map, Bai Qi fell into deep thought.

"General, it's not good!" Lu Yi, the deputy general who broke into the big tent, had a panicked look on his face.

I'm really afraid of something. Bai Qi's face sank slightly, "Found the cavalry of the Han army?" ”

"Yes, the Hun cavalry division of the Han army, under the leadership of Gu Li, has captured Bin County." Lu Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Guli's Hun cavalry division is all cavalry, how can they capture the county seat, can their horses fly?" Bai Qi was shocked and angry, Binxian was the only way for them to return to Xianyang, and if they took a detour, they would have to spend at least ten more days.

"Binxian County ordered the wind to fall." Lu Yi said angrily: "According to what the scouts heard, the Han cavalry only threatened under the city, and the county leader of Binxian County opened the city and surrendered. ”

Bai Qi sighed, the so-called tree fell and scattered, this is the truth, now in this situation of Daqin, I am afraid that the vast majority of people have lost their last confidence.

"Are there any foot soldiers following up?"

"At present, no Han army foot soldiers have been found." Lu Yi said.

"That's okay, the Hun cavalry division is good at field warfare, not good at defending the city, Bin County has surrendered, it's just to let them get more supplies, Gu Li will never stay in the city to defend to the death, she will still find a way to find fighters in the field, the original plan remains the same, we are still advancing to Bin County, Lu Yi, gather all our cavalry, led by you, cover on the flank, to prevent the sudden attack of the Han cavalry, the speed of the troops is reduced, pay attention to the front and rear protection, do not be out of touch, the enemy can take advantage of the opportunity."

"Yes, General."

"Send someone to inform Xu Yahua immediately and inform him of our location. Tell him that the Han cavalry has appeared. (To be continued.) )
