"I want to be Zhao Yi for half my life, and I have repeatedly refused to be barbarians in the north, and I can die outside this Hangu Pass today, and I can be called a hero!"

In order to cover the withdrawal of the main force of the Qin army into Hangu Pass, Zhao Yi led more than 8,000 Qin troops to fight bloody battles for three days and three nights.

Of the 360,000 Qin troops outside the pass, only 250,000 withdrew to Hangu Pass, while the main force of the coalition army only lost less than 100,000, and there were still 1.2 million people.

After the coalition forces arrived outside the Hangu Pass, they launched a fierce attack without resting.

Catapults, ladders, bed crossbows, wooden curtains and various siege equipment took turns to fight, and the coalition army's nest carts advanced to a place less than a mile away from the battlefield, and Pang Nuan stood on it to direct the siege.

It lasted five days, the periphery of Hangu Pass was captured by the coalition army, the Qin army retreated to the small island in the river outside the pass, and it was four days of fierce fighting, the island was also captured by the coalition army, and the Qin army lost more than 40,000 people, all retreated to the pass, and held the pass.

Relying on the fortress of the pass and the natural danger of Hangu Pass, a protracted and vicious battle began.

Because there is a river in front of the pass, and there are only two bridges crossing the river, and these two bridges are all within the range of the heavy crossbows of the Qin army guarding the pass, it is like a fool's dream for the coalition forces to really threaten the Qin army in the pass.

As the commander of the coalition army, Pang Nuan knew that he couldn't afford to wait, and now there was less than a month and a half before the time for Qi to send troops.

Therefore, he can't wait, even if it is a pile of human lives, he must enter Hangu Pass!

If the two bridges do not allow large troops to pass, then a few more bridges will be erected, and the siege equipment will pass through the original stone bridge, and the people will pass through the newly erected temporary bridge!

In front of the pass, the shouting of killing was deafening, just as Pang Nuan requested, more than one million coalition troops were taking their lives to fill the river at the moment, braving the overwhelming arrows like a storm, after two days and two nights, nearly 10,000 dead and wounded, after dyeing the entire Hangu Pass into a bloody color, three bridges for five people to advance side by side were erected!

The general offensive has begun!

......

"Transfer another 50,000 soldiers and horses from Ba County, and you must hold Hangu Pass! Let Taifu come back too, isn't there still 20,000 horses on his side? ”

"It is okay to transfer troops from Ba County, but Beidi County can't move, although Li Ling has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but one is to supervise the construction of the Great Wall, and the other is to deal with the Huns barbarians, if the troops are transferred from the north, the Huns take advantage of the weakness, then even if they can hold the Hangu Pass, my Great Qin will also fall into a situation of no return!"

The battle situation of Hangu Pass is becoming more and more tragic day by day, due to the special geographical location of Hangu Pass, although the battle situation between the two sides is anxious, there are not too many soldiers who enter the battlefield each time, with the coalition forces attacking in turn day and night, the numerical disadvantage of the Qin army guarding the pass is being magnified over time!

If it goes on like this, it won't take more than a month, and Hangu Pass will definitely be broken!

"Could it be that when Hangu Pass is broken and all my Great Qin soldiers are killed in battle, Xiangbang, are you willing to let Taifu return to Xianyang?!"

Ying Zheng, who is now nineteen years old, and Ying Zheng, who has been on the throne for six years, finally started a fire against Lü Buwei for the first time in the court.

The state of Qin had reached the point of life and death, even if Lü Buwei had enough reasons to let Li Ling stay in the north, but Ying Zheng decided that he was selfish.

Since Chang Yu officially entered the palace, and then Zhao Ji went to Yongcheng to live away from Xianyang, without Zhao Ji by his side, the only one in the court who let Ying Zheng restrain was Lu Buwei alone, but Ying Zheng still remembered the advice Li Ling gave him before going to the north, so he kept it back.

But now that it has reached this step, more than a million troops are blocked at the Hangu Pass, and the military intelligence reports sent every day are all tens of thousands of losses, and there are only a few soldiers and horses in the Qin State, and if you continue to fight like this, Yingzheng may become the king of the country in the end!

If he can endure it, then he really doesn't deserve to be the king of Qin.

"Stumped in the eyes of the king, am I, Lu Buwei, such a person? Taifu was originally recommended to the king by my Lu Buwei, but has the king forgotten it? Stumped, I don't know that Hangu Pass is in danger? But if after the troops and horses are drawn from the north, the Huns barbarians go south, and my Great Qin suffers the enemy on his back, what will be the result at that time, have you ever thought about it, Your Majesty? ”

After three rhetorical questions in a row, Lu Buwei's old face turned red, he did have a lot of selfishness, but the premise of all selfishness was that the Qin State must still exist, and he must still be the prime minister of the Qin State!

Now that the Qin State has reached the critical point of life and death, how can he be as unbearable as Ying Zheng said?

"Your Majesty, it is not unreasonable for the minister to think that Xiangbang is considering."

"Li Si you!"

Just when Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei looked at each other angrily, Li Si stood up, but what Ying Zheng didn't expect was that Li Si actually chose to agree with Lu Buwei's statement!

"Your Majesty, please listen to me, Xiangbang's consideration is indeed very reasonable, but at the moment, my Qin country's situation is too critical, if Hangu Pass really can't be defended, then even if we can keep the northern land, it will be useless! But if the loss of the north can keep Xianyang, the minister thinks that it is not impossible! ”

"Let's wait and see, the king can let Taifu prepare first, and once the war changes again, he will order Taifu to abandon the northern land and rush to the aid of Xianyang!"

Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei were tense, and Ying Gong, who had no personal thoughts, stood up at the right time as the patriarch of the Ying family, after all, it was still the royal family, and now that the royal family has expressed its position, the rest of the people have begun to express their support for Ying Gong's statement, trying to reconcile between the monarch and the minister, instead of making unpleasant trouble at such a time.

"Zhao Gao, the edict is going to order Taifu Li Ling to suspend the construction of the Great Wall, immediately reorganize the army, and be ready to rush to Xianyang at any time!"

......

"General, if we continue like this, we can't consume the coalition army, so it's better to give up the pass, lead the coalition army into the pass, set up an ambush in Hangu, and take advantage of the narrow terrain of Hangu to inflict heavy losses on the enemy."

"If you can't do this, once you give up Hangu Pass, and you can't wipe out the coalition forces in Hangu, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"But how are we going to fight now? You look at these Great Qin soldiers, you look at the enemies outside the pass, if you continue to consume like this, Hangu Pass will not be able to hold it at all, if we all die here, it will really be over at that time! ”

"Alright, you all shut up! Get out and let me be quiet! ”

As the main general, Meng Fu is also anxious, but he has no choice.

Since he led his troops, this is the second time that the Qin army has been beaten into Hangu Pass, and this time, Hangu Pass is even in danger of being lost......
