The war in Hedong, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly broke out, and 100,000 Zhao troops poured out of the nest and poured towards Hangu Pass, Jing Rufeng reversed the cautious and cautious style of the past, and the troops were divided into three routes, and he led the main force to attack Hangu Pass, Zhao Xilie attacked Changping City, and Li Mingjun attacked Yangfeng City.

Changping, Yangfeng two places are the two wings of Hangu Pass, a few years ago, Zhao Mu almost conquered the battle of Hangu Pass, the first to take these two places, but at that time Changping and Yangfeng have not yet built the city, but set up two military villages, because of the loss of these two places so that the flanks of Hangu Pass are wide open, after the end of that battle, the Qin people began to garrison the city in these two places, after Wang Xiao, Li Xin two generals efforts, Yangfeng City and Changping City rose from the ground, became a powerful barrier on the flank of Hangu Pass.

If you want to go down to Hangu, you must first go down to Yangfeng City and Changping City.

On the wall of Hangu Pass, the general of the Qin army, Chongguang, looked at the Zhao army in the distance like locusts with a worried face, the enemy came too coincidentally, just a few days ago, General Li Xin suddenly led the main force to leave the city and return to Xianyang, it is said that something big happened in Xianyang, the prince tried to rebel, and wanted to misdo in Xianyang, General Li Xin was ordered by the king to lead the army back to Xianyang to quell the rebellion, although the general in order to confuse the enemy, the Hangu Pass and the army near the left took the strategy of setting off in batches to arrive at the agreed place to concentrate, But apparently he did not hide from Zhao Jun's eyes and ears, the enemy, came at the right time.

Chongguang is not the general of Hangu Pass, he was the chief general of Changping City, before General Li left, suddenly a paper order transferred him to Hangu Pass as the main general of the guard, from Changping to Hangu Pass, although it is said that it is a big line, but Chongguang has no joy in his heart, because he has just arrived, the Zhao army has already attacked here, he has not even recognized the generals under his command, and he is not familiar with the city defense of Hangu Pass.

What's more, now in Hangu Pass, there are only 3,000 Qin army soldiers. The three thousand Qin army guards Changping or Yangfeng, that is more than enough, but it is used to guard the Hangu Pass, and the troops are stretched. Chongguang couldn't understand why General Li, who knew the soldiers and was good at soldiers, would not think that the Zhao army would lead troops to attack, even if it was just in case, he should leave at least 10,000 troops in Hangu Pass to defend.

3,000 people, he can only defend the wall, and if there are 10,000 people, then he can not only defend, but also attack in a timely manner, attack and defend, the way to defend the city, blindly defend, there will be a day when it will be breached.

"Has the messenger returned?" Staring at Zhao Jun, who was getting closer and closer to the city, Chongguang asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the general, the messenger was intercepted and killed by the scouts of the Zhao army outside, and fled back with serious injuries, only bringing back a sentence from General Li."

"Say!"

"The people are in the city, and the city is dead." The voice behind him trembled a little.

Chongguang's body shook slightly, and from this sentence, he heard what Li Xin meant, it seems that the situation in Xianyang City is far more severe than he imagined, otherwise General Li would never even abandon Hangu Pass. The meaning of General Li's words is already very clear, resist to the end and buy time. This reminded him of a few years ago, the battle in which General Yingteng died, also at the head of Hangu Pass, in order to buy time for the implementation of Qin's grand strategy, General Yingteng died on the spot, and the king who arrived from Xianyang led reinforcements also suffered many injuries, but that battle completely reversed the strategic situation of Qin, and almost wiped the Xiongnu from this continent, since then, the Xiongnu have never reappeared as a force, and have to rely on the high and distant of the current Han Kingdom to survive.

Now, it's your turn.

Chongguang didn't feel angry and sad about this, he only felt that the blood in his body was boiling all of a sudden, and he could repeat what General Yingteng did back then, which was the glory of being a general of the Qin army.

"General Li's military order is spread all over the city, the city is here, and the city is dead!" Chongguang choked and pulled out the saber on his waist, "Even if all the staff die at the Hangu Pass, they will never take a step back, tell our soldiers, the heroic martyrs of General Yingteng are standing on top of the city tower at this moment, looking at our Qin Jun's son, don't fall into the face of the old general."

"Yes!" The voice behind him no longer trembled.

"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!" With the loud shouts of the heralds, the voices of the repeating generals sounded at the head of Hangu Pass, and gradually converged into a torrent, and the sound shook the clouds. The passion of every soldier of the Qin army burst out in this shout.

"Rectify Lao Qin, defend my rivers and mountains, blood will not be shed, and death will not be truce!"

The war song of the Qin army sounded above the city, lingering between heaven and earth, and enduring.

Under the banner of Zhao Guozhong's army, Jing Rufeng rode his horse and stood, beside him, Zhao Jin, the guard of Hedong County, also followed on one side, listening to the sound of military songs coming from the head of Hangu Pass in the distance, Jing Rufeng's body trembled slightly, and it was actually old tears.

"General Jing, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Jin was slightly surprised and asked.

Stretched out his hand to wipe a handful of old tears, Jing Rufeng shook his head embarrassedly, "I'm old, I'm fragile, it's been more than twenty years, I can finally go back from Hangu Guan in a dignified manner, how can I not be emotional, thank God for giving me such an opportunity, I'm almost seventy, if it weren't for this opportunity, I think I would never be able to return to my hometown Xianyang in my life, and take a look at the once familiar streets there."

"Is the general sure that he can capture Hangu Pass?" Zhao Jin is still a little skeptical.

Jing Rufeng smiled confidently, "Listen, this is the battle song of the Qin army."

"I know, over the years, my ears have sounded calloused." Zhao Jin disagreed, his fief was compared with the Qin people, and he was going to fight with the Qin people every three or five times, how the Qin people's war song was unfamiliar.

"Listen to it again and feel it carefully." Jing Rufeng smiled and said, "What is the difference between the battle song this time and what you usually hear?"

Zhao Jin glanced at Jing Rufeng in surprise, listened carefully for a long time, and felt a little in his heart, "There seems to be more tragic atmosphere in this song, and there is less indomitable momentum in this song in the past."

"That's right!" Jing Rufeng clapped his hands and laughed, "Zhao Junshou is really a person who knows the soldiers, the Qin army is powerful, and I have been fighting against my Zhao army over the years, losing less and winning more, so in the past, when they sang the war song, they had the idea of victory in their hearts, and they had an indomitable momentum in the song, but today they have a strong city to rely on, but they still only see tragedy and glory, but no idea of victory, what does this mean?" It shows that their forces are not enough, so that even they themselves do not believe that they can hold Hangu Pass, so we will definitely be able to capture Hangu Pass, the difference is only the length of time."

"The sooner the better, of course!" Zhao Jin was turned over by Jing Rufeng, and his words suddenly became full of confidence, "If you delay one more day, there may be a change, General Zhao fell short back then, and now I still sigh when I think about it!"

"It depends on the combat effectiveness of our sons!" Jing Rufeng said: "If my estimate is right, the number of troops in the city will not exceed 5,000 people, and I will attack it with ten times the army, and it will be three or five days late, or one or two days shorter, and I will break through the Hangu Pass."

"Okay, after breaking the Hangu Pass, Zhao will definitely get drunk with General Jing in the Hangu Pass." Zhao Jin said loudly.

"It's a deal!" Jing Rufeng laughed, raised his arms, and shouted: "Command the three armies, attack."

The sound of war drums is earth-shattering, up and down Hangu Pass, the flames are soaring to the sky, the smoke covers the sky and the sun, tens of thousands of Zhao troops swarm up, and launch a fierce attack on the Hangu Pass that blocks their footsteps, on the city, the soldiers of the Qin army sing war songs, bravely fight back, up and down the city, the feather arrows come and go like flying locusts, the buzzing sound of the feather arrows, the screams of the bed crossbows, the dull sound of the stone cannons thrown by the trebuchet, the roar of the soldiers when they fight, and the screams when they are dying, making the Hangu Pass become a Shura hell in an instant.

In the sky, the blazing sun gradually lost its temperature and turned into a plate of gold, slowly falling, the time of the day, it was fleeting in the endless fighting, the city was up and down, the corpses were accumulated, but Hangu Pass was still standing proudly under the golden light, with the sound of the golden gong of the army, the Zhao army retreated like a tide, revealing a place left siege equipment and countless corpses.

On the top of the city, Chongguang sat down weakly, the knife in his hand had already curled his teeth, like a saw, and the armor on his body was also torn everywhere, stained with blood, I don't know if it was the blood of the enemy or his own injuries, as soon as he sat down, he almost didn't want to stand up again.

"Look, General!" Beside them, the soldiers who were also so tired that they sat on the ground suddenly exclaimed, and in the distance to the left and right of Hangu Pass, three thick clouds of smoke rose from the horizon and went straight up to the clouds.

"Three wolf smokes!" Chongguang lowered his head sadly, Changping City, Yangfeng City have been lost, from now on, Hangu Pass will no longer have flank cover, it seems that the 100,000 troops of the Zhao army's Hedong battalion have poured out.

Zhao army camp, Zhao Jin's face is very ugly, the desperate fight during the day, let him see a little frightened, although he has been at the forefront of the war, but it is only the first time to really go to the front line to witness this kind of killing, in the past, he was only responsible for raising food and grass for the soldiers in the rear.

"General, can we take Hangu Pass?" He became a little unconfident again. During the day, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army once again left a deep impression on him.

"Of course you can, it will be broken tomorrow!" Jing Rufeng was leisurely, "Although it is useless today, it has severely damaged the defenders of Hangu Pass, and I carefully observed that the defenders in the pass are no more than 3,000 people, even if it is a redemption, I will also eat him."

Zhao Jin let out a long breath, Jing Rufeng said very easily, but this ease, it means that tens of thousands of lives will no longer exist.

Zhao Jin said goodbye and left, Jing Rufeng walked out of his big tent, looking at the Hangu Pass between heaven and earth like a monster lying under the water in the distance, he shook his head regretfully, Chongguang, fierce general, but unfortunately, he was destined to die in his own hands.

Sorry, we're all working towards the same goal! He whispered in his heart.

In order to completely make the Zhao army no longer doubt the correctness of this attack, Chongguang and the three thousand Qin soldiers who defended the city must have been the bait thrown by Li Xin, and the purpose of their storage in Hangu Pass was to resist desperately until the last man.
