Tian An's words cheered Xiang Yuda, he knew that this battle of Hangu Pass would inevitably be more dangerous than the battle of Julu.

He is not Yingbu, a stunned green like General Pu, the name of Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, like thunder. Fighting with such a handsome talent, there is also the world's first male pass as a barrier, and Xiang Yu has no certainty of victory.

At this moment, the crowd was excited, it was the best time to give an order, Xiang Yu immediately went to the front of the handsome case and pulled out the arrow: "Zhang Er, Sima Wei, Shen Yang, Tian Jian, Tian Jiao, Tian An, Tian Du, King Wei listens to the order." ”

"Yes!" The eight generals agreed, held their chests and bowed their hands, and everyone seemed very excited.

"Storm Hangu Pass at noon tomorrow, so as to make a big show so that the Qin army cannot be separated!"

"Obey the general's orders!"

"Zangdi, Han Cheng listens to the order."

"Yes."

"Lead the Yan and Han army, go out of Kunshan Mountain in the southeast, enter Wuguan, join forces with Liu Ji, and attack the Qin army before and after!"

"Obey the command."

……

Xiang Yu's majestic gaze swept over everyone, and he was impassioned: "This general will lead an army of 150,000 to block the mountains and rivers outside the pass head-on, and all armies must work together to destroy Qin in one fell swoop!" ”

"No."

The generals under the account suddenly agreed, and they all went out of the account, and each led the army to fly away.

……

Since the main army led by Wang Ben traveled all the way in the territory of Qin, although he specialized in the inaccessible mountainous areas, he could also travel day and night.

Before the sun set the next day, the army arrived at the hinterland of the Kushan Mountains, because it was October, the autumn was high and cool, and the mountain streams and small river valleys and some dry yellow and blue intertwined mountain forest clearings were just resting.

"General, the vanguard army has already surveyed the hidden valley, just in time for the army to be stationed."

Wang Ben whispered and said, "The army is stationed in the order of going out of the mountain, and at the same time, the cavalry is close to the mountain stream. ”

"Yes."

……

When the military order was passed down and the army camp was dispatched, Wang Ben raised his eyebrows: "Order the army, don't bury the pot, don't make food, take the stream water to eat cold food, and then sleep immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

……

When the military order was handed down, the mountains, forests and valleys immediately began to eat a quick cold meal - a bag of stream water was fought, and a piece of dried beef with sauce and a few pieces of thick noodles and hard cakes were eaten.

After eating, the snoring sound sounded all over the mountains and fields among the trees in the valley. Since the camp was chosen in an uninhabited mountain forest, the scout rangers had been released within a radius of fifty miles.

No one can enter any of the mountain passes!

At the same time, more than half of the remaining four armies were outside the Hangu Pass. On the first night, we arrived at the Taolin Heights in Hangu Pass, ate, drank and slept for a day, and secretly went out of Shandong at night.

Although the journey was within two hundred miles, which was a short distance for the Qin army, the most detailed preparations were still made, and the war horses were wrapped in hooves, the armor was fixed with armor leaves, and the sword horns were all fixed.

Even those who love coughing should wrap their mouths with a cloth beforehand so that they do not make any sound.

Wang Ben also issued an order for the army out of the customs, only with dried beef with sauce, not with dried mutton.

……

After marching for two consecutive nights, in the early morning of the third day, Wang Ben received Yin talismans from various secret scouts in Kunshan Mountain, opened them and browsed them.

"The armies of the four routes have all arrived at the designated mountains and forests, and the ambush is properly ......"

Whispering, Wang Ben picked up his pen and wrote: "Start tomorrow night!" "Handed over to the secret scouts.

……

"General, according to the report from the scout, Xiang Yu sent the army of Qi, Wei and Zhao to storm Hangu Pass, which is unguarded at this moment, and it is simply an empty city!"

Meng Bai was in a hurry and said: "Besides, Your Majesty is still in Hangu Pass, I think, start in advance, strike first!" ”

Wang Ben stood expressionlessly on the big stone by the mountain stream, like a stone statue in the hazy moonlight, silent for a long time.

"The original plan remains the same, each fights its own!"

Meng Bai gasped: "General, are you really so sure?" This is a hundred thousand fresh troops, even if it is not as good as the Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry, but it is not comparable to the people of Hangu Pass. ”

"Once you enter Hangu Pass, the consequences are unimaginable! Otherwise, our army will be collected at Hangu Pass, as long as Hangu Pass is not lost, it will be a victory! ”

Wang Ben whispered and said, "At this time, the Great Qin Empire is in danger, and if you don't defeat the Kwantung rebels in one fell swoop, Guanzhong will never be stable. ”

"If Your Majesty wants to clean up the broken mountains and rivers, you must beat the Guandong rebels, so that Your Majesty has time to clean up Qin's internal affairs and recuperate!"

……

"It's just that Your Majesty can guard the Hangu Pass?" Meng Bai said the worry in his heart, Wang Ben's plan for this battle, everything is based on the premise that Hangu Pass is not lost.

Wang Ben sneered: "Hangu Pass is known as the first pass in the world, and there are 10,000 troops holding it, which is enough to block the onslaught of Qi, Wei and Zhao's army, not enough to worry!" ”

……

Meng Bai couldn't help but laugh, and lowered his voice: "This Yu ambition is big enough, the three-way army will go out together, and then let the others die, lead the main force of the Chu army by himself, and finally seize the merits!" ”

"I don't care what his ambition is, just hit him!" Wang Ben smashed his fist on the big rock.

Meng Bai held back his laughter and patted his chest: "Regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, murder counts." ”

Wang Ben turned around and ordered Sima of the Chinese army: "Immediately send a horse to Your Majesty, the 100,000 troops of the Three Kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Zhao will attack Hangu Pass, please be cautious." ”

"Yes!"

Sima of the Chinese army agreed and walked away.

……

Early in the morning, the sun had just risen and hung in the east. Hu Hai hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, and there was no movement of the Kwantung coalition army for two consecutive days, and he was already very anxious.

As soon as he ran up the city wall, he heard the arrow tower Sima shouting urgently: "The enemy army is coming, report to Your Majesty!" ”

Hu Hai let out a low sigh: "Calm down, I'm here!" Strode to the female wall of the arrow tower, put his hand on the pergola and looked up, and his face immediately darkened.

On the vast mountain plateau outside the pass, a thin line of red, green and purple is approaching. After a few moments, the red, purple, and green lines under the morning glow turned into a surging three-color wave.

Heavy thunder rumbled to the ground, flags flew over, iron horses were vertical and horizontal, horns were loud, and the earth was overwhelming.

"Bird, it's finally here!"

Hu Hai smiled coldly and ordered sharply: "Gather troops!" ”

"Whew-"

The horns of ten bulls whined, and resounded through the city. With a rapid and terrible horn, a group of black armor soldiers poured up to the city from a dozen stone stairs and horse paths, and in a moment, on the city walls at both ends of the arrow tower, soldiers were Gosensen.

Hu Hai turned around and strode in front of the drum stand at the highest point in the center of the arrow tower, took off two arm-thick drumsticks, and shouted loudly.

"All teams are in place, return to my command——!" After that, the drumsticks were beaten, and an eager drumbeat like a rain storm had just come resounded in the sky.

A moment later, three short horns sounded under the arrow tower, followed by a long response: "One thousand crossbowmen, in position——。 ”

"Knock, knock, knock!" Three heavy drums sounded from the top of the arrow tower.

There were two trombones at the head of the city, and one responded: "A thousand rolling wood and stones are in place." ”

"Boom! Knock knock knock—"

Then came a trombone, and a response: "Three thousand spearmen are in place—"
