The Bai family and the Meng family are the two pillars of the Qin State, known for their loyalty and bravery, similar to the Zhang family and the Ye family of the Xia State, both of which are military generals.

The Qin Emperors of all dynasties have good trust in the generals of these two families, and an excellent military general must be trained from an early age, and generals like Han Xin, who were born at the level of soldiers and immortals, are very scarce, and more are experienced and achieved by Guo Ziyi.

Bai Lie, the youngest general in the Bai family's lineage, although he was only twenty-two years old, he was already ranked fourth, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In addition, he destroyed Zhao with Bai Meng before, and he also won some battles, so he is more proud.

And with Bai Meng's return to the Qin capital, he handed over the command of the Dongqi region to Meng Yi, Meng Yi was also very concerned about Bai Lie, and because he cared, he wanted to beat his arrogance, so he let him lead the troops to garrison Tonglu County, and did not go to the east and north.

This made Bai Lie very unhappy, feeling that he was useless, what was the use of staying in the hinterland of Tonglu County, except for drills, drills!

Who knows, Han Xin crossed Tonglu County into Shanyuan County, and this slap fell the face of the young and vigorous young general.

Although Han Xin deceived all the generals, including Meng Yi and Meng Yi, Bai Lie felt that he had been insulted the most. So when the news reached his ears, he didn't wait for Meng Yi's order to be issued, so he rushed over with his troops and horses, which is why he came so quickly.

And now, the late-night attack suffered a fiasco, with heavy casualties, proving that Bai Lie and Meng Fang were worried, if they want to take the Zhongting Pass, they really have to rely on the lives of the soldiers to pile up.

So Bai Lie pondered for a long time, can he think of other ways to win the atrium pass?

At this time, in the military tent, there were only Meng Fang and Bai Lie.

Meng Fang looked at Bai Lie and asked, "Bai Lie, is your plan feasible?" ”

Bai Lie nodded and said, "I've already sent someone to investigate, it's feasible!" This will be the best way for us to take the city and reduce our losses! ”

As he spoke, Bai Lie paved the topographic map of the Atrium Pass, pointed to the Qinling Mountains in the south of the pass, and said: "The Atrium Pass stretches for more than ten miles, extending to the peaks on both sides, and the people I sent have carefully investigated the peaks on both sides, which are steep and dangerous, and not easy to climb, not to mention the carriages and baggage to cross. However, it is not easy to climb does not mean that it cannot be climbed, we can send agile dead soldiers, from the southern peak around the atrium pass, once the dead soldiers are on the pass, from the south end of the attack, it is bound to affect the entire Xia army, and affect the Xia army's heart, when we continue to attack in the front, it will be easy to take the atrium pass. ”

Meng Fang pointed to the north end and asked, "Can you send the dead to climb from the north end?" ”

Bai Lie shook his head and said, "No! The northern end is blocked by a forest of boulders, and the mountain is steep, with a height of 34 meters, which is more difficult to climb. ”

It's a bit of a pity that Meng Fang can attack at the same end at the same time, it will be even better.

"General Meng, the lowly general personally led the dead soldiers to carry out this mission!" At this time, Bai Lie said suddenly.

When Meng Fang heard this, he immediately shouted: "No! This mission is full of dangers, once you go up, you will inevitably be besieged by the Xia army's madness, the dead soldier is using his life to contain the enemy army, creating opportunities for us to attack, it is ten deaths, if something happens to you, how can I explain to General Meng and the elders of the Bai family? ”

Bai Lie argued: "As a general, if you can't take the lead, who will die for your life?" These dead soldiers are also Qin soldiers, and they also have parents, wives, children, and brothers, as a general, I must set an example. And as a soldier, it is glory to die on the battlefield, so why bother with a horse leather shroud! General Meng, I have made up my mind, we must win this battle! We must take the Atrium Pass, and then take the North Pivot Pass as soon as possible, otherwise we will continue to delay, and when the reinforcements of the Xia Kingdom arrive, we will be sinners even if we die and die for the country! ”

Meng Fang gritted his teeth, knowing that what Bai Lie said was the truth.

"Good!" Meng Fang hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Bai Lie was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you, General!" Then the lowly duty went to pick up the soldiers! ”

After that, Bai Lie hurriedly went to pick people, and finally selected 800 agile soldiers.

An hour later, Meng Fang began to attack the city again.

And Bai Lie also took the opportunity to lead the eight hundred dead soldiers to detour from the rear and enter the Qinling Mountains in the south.

Han Xin sat on the city gate, located in the middle of the entire pass, he naturally didn't know the strategy of Meng Fang and Bai Lie, but Han Xin was known as a soldier immortal, and any slight changes in the wind and grass on the battlefield could not escape his eyes.

Mengfang's strategy is to attack at intervals, although this method will lose troops, but it can consume a large number of defensive weapons such as arrows and rolling stones of the Xia army, and when these shooting and throwing attacks are almost used, then the Xia army's advantage will lose a large part.

Now Mengfang's second assault is also for this purpose.

However, in the second strong attack, Han Xin noticed a very subtle and subtle change.

The first attack was on both sides of the city gate, but this second time, the position of the attack had been moved to the south, and it seemed that he wanted to clear the stairs on the south side first, which was not abrupt.

If it were anyone, he didn't think there was a problem, but Han Xin had a heart.

This second assault still ended in the defeat of the Qin army, leaving behind the corpses of the Qin army. At the same time, the Xia army's arrow feathers, rolling stones and other materials were also consumed in large quantities, and at this rate, it would not be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements at all, and it would have to fight in a white-handed battle.

Another hour, the Qin army attacked again.

This time, the Qin army's offensive position moved a little further south.

"Interesting, interesting..."Han Xin smiled mysteriously, looking like he was in his chest.

The third attack was also extremely tragic, and in the end it was still the defeat of the Qin army. However, it also gave Meng Fang hope, because one of the infantry almost climbed the city pass, which showed that the balance of victory was beginning to tilt.

But today, Meng Fang did not continue to attack.

Because of the three defeats in a row, the Qin army's morale has been weakened, and he needs to give the soldiers a bloody beating to make them regain their determination.

At the same time, Meng Fang looked at the southern mountain range, at this moment, how was Bai Lie's situation?

At this time, Bai Lie led 800 dead soldiers into the mountain, and was climbing the steepest mountain in the middle. The strength of the Xia army is mostly concentrated in the middle, and the troops on both sides are the least, as long as Bai Lie kills the city pass, it can create a lot of chaos for the Xia army.

So Bai Lie was very excited, he led the dead man to climb the mountain, and then quietly sneaked along the ridge on the peak, and finally came to the southern end of the Atrium Pass.

Looking up at the atrium gate above, there was only the flickering light of the torches, and there was no other movement. It seems that the Xia army above is resting, and this place has extended to the mountain peak, and it is impossible for the Qin army to attack from here, so the vigilance of the Xia army is naturally not high.

Because it is built on a mountain peak, the height of the pass here is limited, only four meters, and it can be climbed with the help of ropes.

But now is not the opportunity to do it, Bai Lie asked his subordinates to hide in the woods, eat some dry food to satisfy their stomachs, according to the time agreed between him and Meng Fang, when the sky is slightly clear, it is not convenient at all.

Gradually, the eastern land was slightly translucent, and there was light that was tearing through the darkness.

Bai Lie woke up from the rest, looked at the time, and when it was the time agreed with Meng Fang, he believed that at this time, he was ready to attack at any time.

Now it's time for him to perform in Bailie.

Bai Lie asked his subordinates to erect a human wall, and he climbed up to it, slowly revealing his eyes to observe the situation on the city wall.

I saw that on the wide city gate, the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom were resting on the city wall, and there were not many people, hundreds of people, and more people stayed in the middle, where the black pressure was pressing, one by one.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was still a little dark, Bai Lie lightly jumped onto the city pass, and then waved his hand, and the dead soldiers below also climbed up, and after a while, more than a dozen people came up.

Just when Bai Lie thought that the plan had succeeded, not far away, about a dozen meters away, several Xia troops who were resting with shields suddenly burst out.

They actually held Zhuge repeaters in their hands, hidden under their shields.

The warriors of the Xia Kingdom, who stood up, aimed their Zhuge crossbows at Bai Lie and the dead soldiers behind him, and then shot.

Whoosh...

Bai Lie was even happier in the last second, and in the next second, he was frightened by Xia Jun who jumped up to attack, and what greeted him was the flying crossbow arrow.

Before he could react and dodge, three bolts hit him.

"Not good! It's an ambush! ”

The dead soldier behind Bai Lie roared, and immediately dragged Bai Lie to leave, but how could the Great Xia warriors let them get their wish?

There were a few Great Xia warriors who actually carried gunpowder bags in their hands, and at this time, they directly ignited it and threw it towards Bai Lie and the others.

Boom...

Several dead soldiers were directly blown out by the impact, fell under the city pass, and rolled down the cliff.

In an instant, Bai Lie and the dead soldiers who climbed up were all lying on the ground, dead and wounded.

Then, the warriors of Great Xia rushed forward and stood on it to condescendingly shoot the dead soldiers of the Qin State, they hid under the city pass, and naturally fled at this time. In a panic, he fell down the mountain or was killed by a crossbow arrow.

Bai Lie's confident plan of 800 dead soldiers was ruined.

Bai Lie was very lucky, although he was hit by three arrows and was injured by gunpowder, he was not dead yet, and was carried to see Han Xin.

Han Xin saw that Bai Lie was seriously injured and gritted his teeth, and without making a painful sound, he smiled and said, "Ben will respect you as a man, what is your name?" ”

Bai Lie stared at Han Xin, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, Bai family, Bai Lie!" ”

Han Xin raised his eyebrows, and his smile was even worse: "It turned out to be the leader of the young and middle-aged generation of the Bai family, but I didn't expect to catch a big fish!" ”

At this moment, Meng Fang had already launched an attack on the Atrium Pass, but the scouts he sent out did not notice the chaos at the southern end.

Meng was anxious in peace of mind, where did Bai Lie go?

Soon, Han Xin asked Bai Lie to walk out, and let the anxious Meng Fang know where Bai Lie went, and it turned out that he was a guest of the enemy army.

Seeing that Bai Lie was covered in blood, he was shocked, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the attack was interrupted.
