Chapter 212: Cheng Gao

"Father, the Chu army is cutting down the forest in front of the southwest camp!"

Meng Tian hurriedly walked into the house with his sword in his hand, and said to Meng Fei, who was checking the military situation, his voice was a little eager.

Last night, Meng Tian had already learned of Meng Fei's plan, so he always sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the southwest Chu army, and never thought that he had found something unfavorable to the Qin army.

According to Meng's strategy, it was best to take advantage of the night to raid the southwest Chu army camp, capture Huang Xie, the commander of Chu, and collapse the combined forces of Chu and Wei.

The woods in front of the southwest Chu military camp were the best hiding place for the Qin army.

But now, the Chu army is cutting down the woods, and it seems that they are still preparing to cut down the woods, and at that time, there was no place to hide in front of the southwest Chu army camp, let alone raid the camp.

Meng Fu frowned slightly when he heard this, and unconsciously put down the military information in his hand.

"Other than that, does the Chu army have any other movements?"

Meng Tian replied: "The Chu army has sent a large number of scouts since the camp of the village, including a radius of thirty miles into the scope of investigation, and repeatedly intercepting and killing our scouts who went out of the city to investigate. ”

"Nowadays, it is not easy to reconnoiter the military camp of Southwest Chu."

When Meng Fu heard this, he was silent.

After a long time, Meng Fu said in a hoarse voice: "The rest of the Chu army's camps have changed. ”

"Not yet!"

Meng Fu got up, walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and finally sighed: "It seems that there are also capable people in the Chu army, either the other party has seen through the strategy I have set, or the other party is strict in governing the army and taking precautions. ”

After sighing, Meng Wei stopped, turned to Meng Tian and said: "Concentrate troops to attack the southwest camp of the Chu army, and the strategy of capturing Chu Prime Minister Huang Xie has failed. ”

I have to say that Meng Fu is also a decisive person, and after finding that the plan is difficult to succeed, he is ready to break through.

It's night, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

Although the western camp of the Chu army was still brightly lit at this time, most of the Chu army had fallen asleep, and even the people in charge of night patrols were deserting.

As Huang Xie said, the Chu army had just set up a camp after a long run, and the soldiers were indeed exhausted, and they fell asleep not long after nightfall.

In order to trap the Qin army, the Chu army established four camps, and there were a total of 40,000 Chu troops in this camp in the west.

Although Xiang Yan was responsible for the defense of the Chu army's southwestern camp, he was not qualified to command the Chu army's western camp, so the defense here was still very lax.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, the night was broken by the sound of earth-shattering shouts of killing, and the Qin army removed the antlers, demolished the wooden walls, and rushed into the western camp of the Chu army to set fire to it.

The careless and defenseless Chu army suddenly became a pot of porridge, and the Qin army that rushed in was scattered.

"The general has an order, charge forward, don't love to fight!"

"The general has an order, charge forward, don't love to fight!"

Due to the Qin army's unique military merit awarding system, the Qin army was very keen on killing the enemy and cutting off people's heads.

As a result, the Qin army, which was only ordered to break through the Chu army camp and break through, saw that the Chu army was so vulnerable, many Qin soldiers forgot the commander's order, and instead began to rush into various camps to kill the Chu army.

Seeing that the situation is gradually getting out of control, if the Qin army continues to fight in the Chu army camp, it will not be easy for the Qin army to retreat after the rest of the Chu and Wei soldiers and horses arrive.

As a result, Meng Fu immediately sent military judges to publicize military orders everywhere, and successively killed more than 100 Qin soldiers who did not obey military orders, and hung their heads high, which deterred the red-eyed Qin army.

In this way, Meng Wei led the Qin army to break through the Chu army camp, and did not love the battle too much, and soon chiseled through the Chu army camp and left with 100,000 Qin troops.

By the time Huang Xie and Lian Po came to help, they could no longer catch up with the footsteps of the Qin army.

Fortunately, the Qin army was in a hurry to break through and did not dare to fight, and the Chu army did not suffer too many casualties except for the destruction of the camp.

"It's dangerous!"

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie looked at the burned camp and the embarrassed soldiers of Chu in the camp, and felt lucky while being angry.

The tragic situation of this camp also reminded Huang Xie that if there was no strict defense of Xiang Yan, if the Qin army attacked the southwest camp of the Chu army, even if there were 70,000 Chu troops there, the outcome would not necessarily be better than here.

At that time, Meng Fu Ke may not break through in a hurry, and it is very likely that he will directly enter the commander's camp and capture Huang Xie, the commander of the Chu army.

The more Huang Xie thought about it, the more he felt afraid, and then he felt grateful to Xiang Yan, a hairy boy.

However, it is said that after Meng Fu led the Qin army to break through, before he arrived at Yewang, he learned that Li Mu and Zhao Jia had joined forces, with a total of 210,000 troops on both sides, and went south from Danshui from Changping to Yewang.

Yewang used to be an incomparably strong city, but unfortunately some time ago, the Han army held on to this place, under the fierce attack of the Qin army day and night, Yewang almost became a ruin, the surrounding city walls were broken, and many places collapsed.

Most importantly, there was no food or grass in the city.

Thinking of this, Meng Fu prepared not to return to Yewang, but instead led his troops south towards the Korean capital.

When the king of Han learned of the movements of the Qin army, he was worried that after the Qin army arrived in Xinzheng, he would take all the Korean capital for himself, so he immediately became anxious and angry, and ordered the Han army to go north and block Mengfu's way in Chenggao.

Speaking of Chenggao, many people may not be familiar with it.

If you mention Tiger Prison Pass, I am afraid that people who are a little familiar with history will know this place.

Cheng Gao was the later Tiger Prison Pass.

This place is connected to Songyue in the south, bordering the Yellow River in the north, the mountains are staggered, it is a natural danger, there is a big man when the pass, the trend of ten thousand people is not open, it is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight, and it is also the northern gateway of Nanyang County, South Korea.

The 100,000 Qin army led by Meng Fu was blocked in Chenggao, so he sent an envoy to meet the king of Han and ask the Han army to let the Qin army pass.

According to Mengqiu's words: the Qin army has no food and grass inside, and there are pursuers outside, if the king of Han does not let the Qin army go south, the Qin army will either be broken by the coalition army, or it can only return to the Qin state, leaving Korea alone to resist the combined forces of Zhao, Chu, and Wei.

King Han urgently summoned the Manchu civil and military forces to discuss, and finally decided to let Meng Fu and others enter Chenggao.

It's just that King Han has to make an agreement with Meng Fu in advance for three chapters.

First, Chenggao is a strategic place in South Korea, and the grain and grass in the city are piled up, and the Korean army can supply the Qin army with grain and grass, but it must ensure complete control over the grain and grass, and the Qin army must not covet it.

Second, if the alliance of the three kingdoms attacked, the north gate was handed over to the Qin army to guard, responsible for resisting the coalition army and ensuring that the Korean land was not occupied by the coalition army.

Third, the south gate of Chenggao was guarded by the Han army, and the Qin army was not allowed to approach the south gate without permission, let alone cross the south gate of Chenggao to the south without authorization.

These three agreements all show that King Han has great distrust of the Qin army.

However, if Meng Fu didn't want to return to Qin at this time, he could only accept King Han's request, and stationing in Chenggao could at least make the Qin army no longer worry about food and grass.

What's more, if the Qin army is really going to enter Chenggao, it will be impossible for the Koreans.
