Chapter 215: Mengwu's Death

Pinggao, built on a flat place by the water.

As the primary goal of the coalition army's southward movement, Meng Wei personally led 50,000 Qin troops to be stationed here and waited for them.

The forces of the Three Kingdoms have now converged, with 150,000 Zhao troops led by Li Musuo, 60,000 Zhao troops led by Zhao Jiasuo, nearly 200,000 Chu troops led by Huang Xiesuo, and 100,000 Wei troops led by Lian Po, totaling 510,000 troops.

Now the troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance are divided into four places, Lian Po commanded 100,000 Wei troops to besiege Xingyang, Huang Xie led 200,000 Chu troops to besiege Pinggao, Li Mu led 150,000 Zhao troops to besiege Chenggao, and Zhao Jia led 60,000 Zhao troops to attack Wen County.

Wen County is the city of Qin, built on the north bank of the Yellow River, located in the west of Pinggao, is the main road of Qin and Han traffic, if Zhao Jia can conquer Wen County, he can cut off the connection between Qin and Meng, even if Fan Yu led 300,000 Qin troops to arrive, it is not so easy to conquer Wen County in a short time.

Inside Pinggao City, Meng Wei looked at the dense Qin army outside the city, and his face became extremely solemn.

"I miscalculated."

"The grain and grass have not arrived in time, how can Pinggao be able to stop the 200,000 Chu army?"

The so-called three cities of Chenggao, Pinggao, and Xingyang are each other's horns, and they are nothing in the face of the huge number of coalition forces.

Now that the coalition army is divided into four places and has been surrounded by three cities, it is not so easy for Mengwu to transport grain to Pinggao City.

If the food in Pinggao City is exhausted, the 50,000 Qin army led by Meng Fu will collapse without a fight.

Meng Fu originally thought that he personally led the troops to garrison Pinggao, and the coalition army would definitely launch a fierce attack at any cost and capture himself, the commander of the Qin army, but unfortunately Meng Fu miscalculated.

Li Mu's besieged Chenggao and cut off Chenggao's grain and grass transportation to Pinggao in disguise.

Under the city of Chenggao, the battle flag hunts.

"Open the gates!"

Meng Wu led 3,000 Qin troops under his command to confront the Han army at the gate of the city, and his face was full of murder.

Now that the battle situation has changed abruptly, not only will Mengfu in Pinggao fall into a dangerous situation due to lack of food, but even if it is the 20,000 Qin army outside the city, the situation is also in danger in the face of the 150,000 army commanded by Li Mu.

For today's plan, the only way to do this is to open the city gate and let the Qin army outside the city enter the city, and then unite with the Qin army in Xingyang to help Pinggao and Mengqiu break through, so that the Qin army can survive.

But at such a critical juncture, Zhang Ping took the Korean army in the city and blocked the north gate of Chenggao, preventing Meng Wu from opening the city gate, how could Meng Wu not be angry?

Zhang Ping looked at the furious Meng Wu from afar, and said coldly: "There are 150,000 Zhao troops outside the city, open the city gate at this time, if the Zhao army follows the Qin army and attacks Chenggao, what should it do?" ”

"And you and I have long had an agreement, we can only allow five thousand Qin troops to enter Chenggao, if the general insists on opening the door, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After speaking, Zhang Ping raised his right hand high, and the Han army, who was waiting at the city gate, saw this, and they all pulled their bowstrings, and all the arrows were aimed at Mengwu.

Seeing this, Meng Wu's face became more and more gloomy, but because of the strength of the Han army, even if he was angry in his heart, he could only endure it secretly.

"Since Zhang Xiang will not let the Qin army outside the city enter the city, then please open the city gate and let us go out to support Paoze!"

Zhang Ping shook his head resolutely again and said, "No matter what, the city gate must not be opened!" ”

At this time, more and more Korean troops gathered towards the gate of the city, faintly surrounding Meng Wu and others.

Just when Meng Wu wanted to continue to reason with Zhang Ping, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly came from the location of Chenggao's granary, and Meng Wu's pupils immediately contracted violently.

"You have already colluded with the coalition forces!"

At this time, Meng Wu finally reacted, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

In fact, long before the coalition forces besieged Pinggao, Meng Fu asked Meng Wu to transport grain and grass to Pingao as a reserve.

At that time, Zhang Ping did not embarrass Mengwu, nor did he refuse to give grain to the Qin army, but generously transported the grain and grass that could be used by 50,000 Qin troops for half a month.

Unexpectedly, before these grains and grasses arrived at Pinggao City, they were attacked by the Zhao cavalry led by Wang Qian, and then the grain and grass were burned with a fire.

The grain and grass were destroyed, and Meng Wu once again asked Zhang Ping to allocate grain and grass to Pinggao, and prepared to personally lead the troops to transport the grain.

However, because the main force of the previous transportation of grain and grass was also the Qin army, Zhang Ping was not so easy to talk this time, not only did he generously allocate grain and grass to the Qin army, but even asked Meng Wuxing for his guilt.

Meng Wu finally coped with it, and three days had passed, and Zhang Ping once again promised to transport grain and grass to Pinggao.

After getting Zhang Ping's promise, Mengwu was ready to mobilize the Qin army outside Chenggao City and personally go to transport grain, but unfortunately, when Mengwu was ready, Zhang Ping did not offer grain and grass as promised, but shirked to the back.

Meng Wu waited for a few days and still had no results, and immediately became angry, and even threatened to attack Chenggao, Zhang Ping had no choice but to compromise and began to allocate grain and grass.

Unexpectedly, just when the grain and grass were transferred and ready to be transported to Pinggao, the Triple Alliance Army had already arrived.

There is no doubt that Zhang Ping once again broke his promise.

However, this time, even Meng Wu had no way to say anything, just because what Zhang Ping said was justified, and transporting grain and grass to Pinggao at this time was undoubtedly giving up grain and grass to the coalition forces.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mengwu's current situation in such a dangerous situation has a lot to do with Mengwu's failure to transport grain to Pingao in time.

In the final analysis, it was Zhang Ping's repeated shirk that delayed Mengwu's grain transportation plan.

Meng Wu, who figured everything out, only felt the blood rushing to his brain, and roared loudly with a long sword in his hand, hating to tear Zhang Ping to pieces.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Zhang Ping also heard the shouting and killing from the granary, and finally did not hesitate to continue to cover up, and directly ordered to attack the Qin army.

"Chirp!"

With Zhang Ping's order, countless bows and crossbows shot towards the Qin army, and Meng Wu, who was standing at the forefront, bore the brunt.

Meng Wu led the troops to ask the South Korean army to open the city gate, but he only had the intention of intimidation, and did not think that the two sides would really clash, so he was not prepared for war at all.

"Protect the General!"

The soldiers of the Qin State who were following Meng Wu were frightened and blocked in front of Meng Wu after seeing the dense arrows shooting from the opposite side.

"Puff puff!"

The arrows fell like raindrops, and the Qin army was so close to the Korean crossbowmen that they didn't take precautions in advance at all, plus the South Koreans were already good at making bows and crossbows, and the arrows they shot were full of strength.

A round of arrow rain fell, the Qin army suddenly suffered heavy casualties, after the soldiers in front of Meng Wu fell to the ground, Meng Wu frantically waved the sword in his hand and knocked out a few arrows, after all, a miracle still did not happen, and he was shot into a hedgehog by more than a dozen arrows.

"Meng Wu is dead, all the kings will kill the enemy with me!"

Zhang Ping suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist, pointed at the Qin army in front of him, and shouted loudly.

"Kill the Qin army!"

When the Han army saw that the commander of the Qin army was killed, their morale was also greatly boosted, and they rushed to the front with shouts.
