PS: Some book friends asked in the book review, is Jin Contempt a descendant of the Jin royal family? This is not accurate, because it is not clear whether the "Jin" of Jin is a surname, or a surname, or a surname changed in memory of the ancestors.

"I see......"

After hearing Bai Qi's explanation, Wang Yi suddenly realized.

If you rashly go out of the pass to meet the attack, trying to destroy the strange siege weapons of the Wei army, it is really as Bai Qi said, before the soldiers who leave the pass destroy a few of those strange weapons, they will be killed by the crossbowmen of the Wei, Zhao, and Han armies with random arrows.

But the problem is that it's not a way to be beaten blindly by sticking to the pass! A way must be found to destroy the strange weapons of the Wei army.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi looked at Bai Qi again and again: "It's still the national captain who sees it clearly, and the last general is respectful, but it's just ......"

As if he had guessed Wang Di's thoughts, Bai Qi looked at the Wei army outside the pass, looked at the handsome flag with the words "Wei Yuncheng Junmeng" written on it, and said calmly: "Don't worry too much, when my Great Qin built this Hangu Pass, I counted on this pass as a barrier for my Great Qin, how could it be destroyed by just a few strange weapons and a few flying stones?" Even if the Wei army is allowed to smash it for a whole day, it will not be able to destroy this pass! ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Now is not the time to go out of the city to attack, I know Meng Zhong very well, his desire to attack is no less than mine, he will never be satisfied with this insignificant offensive at the moment. …… He also knew that his strange weapons alone were not enough to destroy our Hangu Pass, and the reason why he pressed us step by step was to force us to go out of the pass and engage him. If we still can't hold the pass, he will inevitably put further pressure on our army. For example, move the crossbowmen to the front of the formation and close the shot at me. …… At that time, if our army strikes quickly, it will definitely be rewarded! ”

"I see."

Wang Di suddenly realized, and then he clenched his fists and said, "The last general begs to go into battle and destroy those strange weapons for the national captain." ”

What's the use of destroying? The Wei army outside the city can still be rebuilt...... Damn, are all the scouts under Meng Zhong's command vegetarian? Haven't you discovered that trail yet?

After saying a few words in his heart, Bai Qi looked at Wei Jun outside the city, and nodded slowly: "Okay!" I'll leave this matter to you, and I hope you don't live up to General Xiang's expectations of you. ”

"Whoa!"

Wang Yi was satisfied, and clenched his fists and left.

Glancing at the back of Wang Di's departure, Sima Cuo smiled slightly, and said euphemistically: "It can be seen that he is a very good young man, how about being a little more patient?" ”

Bai Qi glanced at Sima Cuo and did not speak.

He knew that Sima was wrong to see it, and in fact it was true: Meng Zhong on the other side made him a little impatient, so that Wang Di, who came to make a suggestion, was actually not wrong, but he was reprimanded.

After a moment of silence, Bai Qi said in a deep voice: "Wang Yi is right, we must find a way to destroy the Wei army's throwing cars. …… Although the Wei army could continue to build even if these throwing carts were destroyed, at least today it could force Meng Zhong to retreat. I want to go out of the city after Meng Zhong's change of formation, what about Sima Lao's thoughts? ”

"Well...... Sima strooped his beard and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "For the sake of today, this is the only way." ”

The two agreed on the same opinion, and waited for the three armies of Wei, Zhao, and Han outside the pass to change formations.

However, at this moment, they suddenly heard the Wei soldiers outside the pass start to tap on the weapons and shields in their hands, and shouted: "Victory!" Win! Win! ”

After being slightly stunned, Bai Qi and Sima Cuo's faces suddenly sank.

Shield demonstrations? Deterring enemy forces?

This is what he Qin Jun has always done......

When was it stolen by the Wei army, no, by Meng Zhong's Fang Cheng army?

While Bai Qi and Sima Cuo's faces were ugly, Meng Zhong was secretly snickering.

I have to say that although the Qin army's shield demonstration was suspected of consuming the physical strength of the soldiers, it was of great help to his own momentum, so Meng Zhong did not hesitate to steal it and use it on the Qin army today.

"Bang Bang!"

"Victory!"

"Bang Bang!"

"Victory!"

Under the instruction of Lejin's deputy general Yu Ying, more than 10,000 Fangcheng soldiers struggled to hit the weapons and shields in their hands, and shouted a victory every three times, at first the voice was a little chaotic, but gradually, this cry became more and more neat, as if gathered into a stormy wave, not only the other side of the city army, even Zhao and Han two armies, after hearing this shout, they gradually felt their hearts surging, as if their bodies were full of inexhaustible strength.

"Demonstrations?"

Lian Po turned his head to look at Fang Chengjun's position, and was very surprised in his heart.

After all, it is really rare for generals from other countries to dare to provoke Qin's ** team in these years.

Before he could finish his emotion, he suddenly heard a similar shout from the Jin Contempt Army behind him.

Obviously, the Jin army was following the example of the Fang Cheng army.

turned his head to look at Jin Cong not far away, but saw that the other party looked at him with a slight meaning.

…… What are you proud of? Just emulating the Fang Cheng army, is it worth your pride?

Lian Po really couldn't understand the thoughts of the Jin Contempt, and after glancing at the other party coldly, he lowered his head and said a few words to the guards beside him, asking him to pass the order to his lieutenant general, so that the Zhao army under his command would also follow the example of the Fang Cheng army, hit the shield, and shouted victory.

Under the guidance of the Fangcheng army, the Wei, Zhao, and Han armies of 40,000 soldiers, after a short period of running-in, struck the shield or knocked the weapon together, making a sound, and at the same time shouting victory.

In the face of this huge demonstration, even the Qin soldiers on the Hangu Pass couldn't help but start breathing quickly and looked panicked, as if they had been robbed of their minds by the might of the enemy—that is, they had affected their mentality and fighting spirit.

"Smack."

Bai Qi's fist slammed on the wall in front of him, and he cursed a few words with an extremely ugly expression.

It's a pity that his scolding was almost covered by the demonstrations of Wei, Zhao, and Han outside the Guanwai, except for Sima Cuo, who was beside him, I am afraid that almost no one can listen carefully to what he scolded.

Do you want to fight back?

Bai Qi glanced back at the Qin soldiers near the Guanlou a few times, and originally planned to let the soldiers respond to the enemy's demonstration, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally gave up this plan, and looked at the handsome banner in the distance outside the gate and scolded: "Bastard." ”

Also, now there is no means to counter the Wei army's throwing of cars at the Hangu Pass, so what confidence does it have to respond to the deterrence of the enemy army outside the pass?

What's more, he didn't want to startle the snake and let Meng Zhong notice something.

In short, bear with it first, wait until Meng Zhong changes formation, send crossbowmen to come forward, and then teach this arrogant guy a good lesson!

Thinking of this, Bai Qi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at the Wei army outside the pass in a muffled voice.

But what surprised him a little was that after a full moment, when the armies of Wei, Zhao, and Han gradually stopped shouting and demonstrating, then Meng Zhong still had no intention of changing the formation, and there were still only those catapults throwing boulders towards Hangu Pass without stopping.

What's going on?

Why did Meng Zhong suddenly become so conservative?

I have to say that Bai Qi is a little difficult to understand this.

He would never believe that Meng Zhong had led 40,000 troops to attack the city today, and only twenty throwing carts were attacking from beginning to end.

This is not Meng Zhong's art of war at all.

…… What are you waiting for?

Bai Qi thought secretly.

At the same time, Zhao General Lian Po was also asking Meng Zhong a similar question: "Yun Chengjun, the Qin army is still guarding the pass, it seems that in the current situation, should our army do further persecution?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong turned his head and glanced at the nearest flag, which was the Wei banner of the Jin Contempt Army.

"Wait." He said calmly.

As Bai Qi guessed, Meng Zhong did not want to storm Hangu Pass from the beginning, because the attack would cause serious casualties to the Wei, Zhao, and Han armies under his command, so the best way was to force the Qin army on Hangu Pass out of the pass to engage him.

And those twenty catapults were the confidence he used to put pressure on the Qin army and force the other party to go out of the customs to fight.

Indeed, catapults, a sharp weapon, can indeed destroy Hangu Pass, but the problem is that it takes a large number of catapults to do this, such as a thousand catapults, to bombard Hangu Pass for a month, which is enough to smash this world's first Xiongguan beyond recognition and shattered, but the question is where did Meng Zhong get this time?

Therefore, from the very beginning, Meng Zhong used the catapult as a bargaining chip to deter the Qin army, and never expected to use it to destroy the entire Hangu Pass.

But for some reason, Bai Qi on the other side was unusually conservative this time, and he didn't send troops out of the city to destroy his catapults, and even didn't ask his soldiers to respond to the demonstrations of his Wei, Zhao and Han armies......

“…… It's too honest, it's really not like it's in vain. ”

Thinking of this, Meng Zhong couldn't help but laugh.

He could imagine that if Bai Qidang really swallowed his anger for some purpose and did not respond to his provocation, then this guy's face at the moment must be quite exciting.

Just as he was laughing in his heart, a guard next to him suddenly reminded: "Yun Jun, the wind is blowing." ”

Meng Zhong turned his head to look at the recent Weizi flags, and sure enough, he saw that these were fluttering in the wind, heading in the direction of Hangu Pass.

Yes, the wind direction at this time is mostly southeasterly, and at present, the three armies of Wei, Zhao, and Han are on the east side of Hangu Pass, showing a circular arc from a bird's eye view, faintly covering the Guancheng and Guanyi of Hangu Pass.

In other words, the wind is blowing at the moment, which is very advantageous for the side of the Meng Zhong army, which can effectively strengthen the shooting range of the crossbowmen.

Of course, the premise is that the wind is not very strong enough to blow away bows and arrows and crossbow arrows.

"Jin Contempt, Lian Po, Han Zu!"

Taking a deep breath, Meng Zhong called.

Hearing this, Jin Confucius, Lian Po, and Han Zu immediately straightened their expressions and clasped their fists: "Here!" ”

I saw Meng Zhong staring at Hangu Pass in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "The time has come, immediately send crossbowmen to step forward and shoot at Hangu Pass." ”

"Whoa!" The three of them responded with their fists clasped.

Immediately, under the order of Meng Zhong, the Wei, Zhao, and Han armies sent crossbowmen to the front of the formation, and with the help of the wind, they launched a salvo towards Hangu Pass, many of which contained rockets, intended to ignite the buildings in the pass.

At the same time, the Wei army's twenty well-mounted chariots also slowly pushed some distance towards Hangu Pass, and then many crossbowmen climbed onto the roof of the cars and fired at the gate, intending to suppress the Qin crossbowmen on the wall.

At this time, the crossbowmen of the Qin army on the Hangu Pass also launched a counterattack, and the crossbowmen of the two armies shot at a distance of more than 100 steps, but due to the wind, the arrows shot by the crossbowmen of the Wei, Zhao, and Han armies obviously had more advantages in range, on the other hand, most of the arrows shot by the Qin army fell weakly within the expected range.

Seeing this, Sima Cuo, who was on the upper floor, suddenly realized, stroked his beard and exclaimed: "I see, it turns out that he just stood still, and he was waiting for the wind to rise...... This Meng Zhong ......"

He shook his head, but did not finish the second half of his sentence.

Because there is no meaning, who doesn't know that Meng Zhong on the other side is not simple?

Hearing this, Bai Qi snorted lightly, and pretended not to care: "In June and July, the southeast wind prevails, so it's not a big deal. ”

Having said that, he still admires Meng Zhong in his heart.

After all, Meng Zhong's every move effectively restrained his Qin army, which is the consideration of a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles, compared to Meng Zhong, Bai Qi recalled that the Zhao generals Li Ji and Han Xu who had dealt with him were simply a mess in this regard.

Sure enough, only by defeating such an opponent can he reflect his value for nothing!

clenched his fists, and his fighting spirit seemed to be ignited.

At this time, in his ears, it seemed that the promise that Marquis Wei Ran had said to him echoed again.

「…… As long as you defeat Meng Zhong, I will ask the king to make you the king Wu Anjun."

The fighting spirit of wanting to defeat Meng Zhong and Yixue's shame, coupled with the promise of Marquis Wei Ran, made Bai Qi's mood unusually high at the moment, and he shouted: "Where is Wang Di? Are you ready to strike?! ”

Immediately, a few people ran to the inner side of the city wall and shouted to the bottom of the gate of Guannei: "General Wang Di, the national captain asked you if you are ready to attack?" ”

When Wang Di, who was waiting inside the city gate at this moment, heard this, he immediately shouted loudly: "Please return to the national captain, the last general is ready." ”

Hearing this, those Qin soldiers immediately replied.

When Bai Qi heard this, he immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Open the city gate!" ”

With an order, the three city gates under the Hangu Pass Tower slowly opened at the same time, and the Qin general Wang Di led countless Qin pawns to rush out of them, like a flood towards the Wei, Zhao, and Han armies in the distance.

"Kill!"

The Qin soldiers, who were holding back their anger because of the demonstrations of the three military talents of Wei, Zhao, and Han, broke out with an earth-shattering roar at this moment.

"Huh?"

Meng Zhong on the opposite side immediately noticed the shocking change in front of Hangu Pass, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry, but also felt a little helpless.

"Did you choose to kill it at this time? Hmph, you've been holding it for a long time, right? ”

Glancing in the direction of Hangu Pass, Meng Zhong ordered: "Tell the crossbowmen to slowly retreat, and the foot soldiers to step forward to resist the enemy army." …… Jin Contempt, Lian Po, and Han Zu, the three of you will return to the army immediately. ”

"Whoa!"

The three of them hugged their fists and received their orders, except for Jin Cong who did not leave because the army was here, Lian Po and Han Zu immediately rode war horses and chariots and returned to their respective armies.

At this time, Jin said to Meng Zhong with disdain: "Yunchengjun, since the Qin army is out of the customs to fight, why don't you go to the Chinese army?" I'm worried that I won't be able to take care of Yun Chengjun later. ”

Meng Zhong smiled and said: "It's okay, Jin Sima can just command the soldiers, don't look at me like this, I actually have the power to protect myself." ”

"No, no, no, it's not that Yun Chengjun doesn't have the power to protect himself......"

Jin Wei hurriedly explained, but looking at his expression, it was not very convincing.

From the side, Le Jin, who was about to return to the Chinese army, was secretly amused after hearing Jin Cong's words.

I have to say that as Meng Zhong's fame grows, the world gradually knows that he is the disciple of Zhuang Zhou, Hui Shi, and Meng Ke, so it is inevitable to subconsciously misunderstand that Meng Zhong is a commander who is biased towards wise generals, but Le Jin knows that this so-called wise general, in terms of personal force alone, is actually enough to rank in the top three in his Fangcheng army, and is even more fierce than the former vanguard general of the Fangcheng army, but Meng Zhong has hardly shown his personal strength.

It's right to think about it, if it falls into a situation where even Meng Zhong, who is the main general, needs to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, the Fang Cheng army is basically not far from defeat.

"Okay, okay, Ah Zhong, you are here, Jin Sima is under a lot of pressure, and he has to be distracted to protect you, you should follow me to the Chinese army."

In the inexplicable smiles of the guards beside Meng Zhong and Le Jin, Le Jin pulled Meng Zhong away.

Although I don't understand why the guards around Meng Zhong and Le Jin showed such strange and polite smiles, as Le Jin said, after Meng Zhong left, Jin Contempt did have a little less concern.

I saw him watch Meng Zhong, Le Jin and the others walk out more than ten zhang away, and then turned to face the Qin soldiers who were rushing towards this side with ferocity, and shouted loudly: "The Hedong Army obeys the order and kills all these damned Qin people!" ”

With that, as soon as he stretched out his right hand, the guards beside him immediately handed him his weapon, an iron spear that was more than a foot long.

I saw him holding a spear with one hand and pointing at the oncoming Qin army, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

With an order, he took the lead in running towards those Qin soldiers, and the soldiers under his command nearby also rushed towards the Qin soldiers one by one.

In terms of momentum, the Jin army was not inferior to those Qin soldiers who were coming.

It may be that he heard the movement behind him, and Meng Zhong, who was returning to the Chinese army with Le Jin, stopped, looked at Jin Congjun with some surprise, and looked in the direction where Jin Cong was.

Although the scene was already a little chaotic, he could still see that Jin Contempt took the lead, leading his Wei pawns to charge towards the oncoming Qin pawns, with great momentum.

“……”

He frowned slightly.

"It's a rough tactic, isn't it?"

From the side, Le Jin said Meng Zhong's heart with emotion.

"Hmm." Meng Zhong nodded slightly.

The Fangcheng army was personally trained by Meng Zhong and others, focusing on breaking the enemy with a formation, to put it bluntly, every Fangcheng soldier was required to cooperate with his companions and be in order, after all, this could effectively reduce his own casualties.

But the Jin Contempt Army, or the Hedong Wei Army, is different, from the moment the Jin Contempt issued the order to kill the enemy, the infantry formation of the Jin Contempt Army has been a little chaotic, and it is quite a bit of a separate battle.

But such an army that messed up the formation, but under the leadership of Jin Contempt, it in turn fell into the belly of the Qin army.

In this regard, Meng Zhong can only say that he is worthy of Wei Wushu! It is worthy of being the sharp warriors gathered by the Wei State after layers of screening and selection! An ordinary army simply cannot stop this kind of wolf-like army.

"Hedong Fierce Man Jin is here, and Qin will come to die quickly!"

I saw that in the midst of the chaotic army, Jin Contempt held the huge spear and fought in all directions, even the soldiers of the Qin army were shocked by the strength of this fierce general.

However, there are still people who are not convinced.

This person is none other than the general of Zhao State, Lian Po.

…… Hmph, this Jin is contemptible, and that's just the degree.

When Jin despised the chaos and slaughtered the Quartet, Zhao General Lian did not show weakness and smashed into the flank of the Qin army in one fell swoop.

Moreover, he went straight to the location where Qin General Wang Di was.
