Chapter 123: Moved by All Parties
The Qin army attacked the city.
The short four words are like a thousand catties weighing on the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city.
The black-pressed Qin army was stationed only a few miles away in front of the city.
Just a cursory glance will not be less than tens of thousands.
As for this border city called Chenggao, it may not be known by many people, but it does have another name, called Tiger Prison.
The Tiger Prison Pass is connected to Songyue in the south, and is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, with mountains and mountains staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a big man when the pass, and the trend of ten thousand people is not open, this is a natural risk, easy to defend and difficult to attack. To break through this pass, it is not difficult for several times the army to penetrate, but for the use of troops to important places.
However, Chenggao Pass now belongs to South Korea and is a city on the border of Korea in the Zhou Kingdom.
The state of Zhou is weak, and he is unable to attack South Korea at all, and Chenggao is a dangerous pass, so King Han is naturally a little less vigilant here.
South Korea is adjacent to Qintu in the west, so in terms of strategic defense, the focus is on the western border, and the city defense here is less.
On the first day before the Qin army arrived in the city, all the soldiers began to prepare in a hurry to set up defenses.
And in the city, even counting the people who began to be recruited temporarily, the number of troops was only 20,000.
The leader of the army is just a little-known little general.
"General." The Korean soldier hurried to the leading general and handed him a roll of linen cloth in his hand.
"How?" The general, pale, took the sackcloth with a simple drawing on it.
Many of the scouts in the army could not write, so drawing became a common method.
"Already in camp?"
"Yes." The soldier stood aside: "Nearly 100,000 people, already garrisoned on the banks of the river." ”
"100,000 people..." The general's face became even more ugly.
100,000 people, 100,000 people crossed the border between Zhou and Han to attack the city, why was there no news before!
Those who defend the city in front of them are blind!
He let out a sigh: "Do you know who the leader on the other side is?" ”
"I don't know." The soldier lowered his head and shook it: "But first there is a report, and I saw a white-robed general with a face armor, maybe a party leader." ”
"White-robed general?" The Korean leader was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"At such a point, you can't manage so much, gather everyone to guard the pass."
"The tiger prison is not so easy for people to break."

"Chenggaoguan."
Gu Nan sat on Brother Hei's back, standing on a high slope on a mountain and looking down at Cheng Gao below.
The wind blew her hair, and the white cloak on her back was pulled tight.
It was a little cold on the hillside, but the inner breath in her body was running on its own, and the cold was dispelled before it could enter.
Meng Fu took the reins of the horse, stepped forward on the horse, and looked down the hillside.
Chenggao Pass is connected with continuous mountains on one side and Taotao River on the other.
Such a city stood in the middle, with only a narrow passage to take offense.
Different from ordinary cities, if it is an ordinary city, it is mainly surrounded by four sides. There were only 20,000 militiamen in the city, and it was not difficult to break the city.
However, with the topography of Chenggao, the 100,000 troops could only attack from the front, and if they drove straight in, the roads were narrow, and the troops were shrinking, the number of troops that could fight Korea head-on would not exceed a few thousand.
The rest of the people can't cross the steep mountain road, and they can't climb the raging river, so they can only be squeezed in the middle and it is difficult to do anything.
The side defending the city can wait for work, and it will never happen overnight to break the city.
"It's a good idea." Gu Nan stood behind Meng Fu: "I'm afraid it's difficult to break through this city quickly." ”
"No, it won't." Meng Fu, who was standing in front of him, said suddenly.
?
Gu Nan was a little puzzled.
Meng Fu touched his beard unhurriedly: "Although King Han is cowardly, he is not ignorant, he will see and understand that my Great Qin took Chenggao to use troops against Wei." ”
In the same way, Zhou Wei naturally understood. King Han is mostly on the sidelines now, if Zhou Wei sends troops, my Great Qin is weak, and when the two armies clash, he can naturally intervene sideways and reap the benefits. ”
"But if Zhou Wei doesn't come out, or if my Great Qin is strong, he may directly give up Cheng Gao and lead me and other soldiers to attack Wei."
"At that time, the two armies will fight, and he will re-enter the game, gain one or two, and it will also be profitable."
"The abacus is very delicate."
"I just don't know if I can eat it."
Meng Fu pulled the reins of the hand, and turned the horse's head.
"We just need to put enough pressure on King Cheng Han, and it won't be long before Cheng Gao will be sent to the door by King Han himself."
After saying that, Meng Fu rode his horse and stepped on the dirt road on the mountain to prepare to descend the mountain.
Is that so?
Gu Nan frowned, thought for a while, and then sorted out.
She didn't think as much as Meng Fu, she should only say that she really deserved to be a general of the older generation, and her grasp of the situation was far from being comparable to someone like her, who had only been a soldier for less than ten years.
"However, if we want to put enough pressure on Na Chenggao, we still can't help but do something."
"Tomorrow's siege of the city, the first battle is extremely important, I want to ask your trap army to help."
There is no terrain that can be besieged, there is only one side of the siege, and there are only thousands of people who can hand over the front of the army.
"It's as good as it gets."
Gu Nan nodded and tugged at Brother Hei's horse's head.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, in the palace, a person was pacing above the main hall, and his face was very ugly.
With his hands behind his back, he sighed from time to time.
"Is it true that Qin attacked Korea?"
King Zhou's expression was hateful, but he was powerless to carry fear.
The courtier who wrote nodded his head: "The Qin army has arrived outside Chenggao Pass, and if you think about it, you will attack the city in a few days." ”
"Smack."
King Zhou slapped his hand on the pillar of the temple on the side, and said through gritted teeth.
"This tiger wolf Qin country."
However, today's Eastern Zhou is just a city, and it is no longer the Zhou royal family of the year.
"Someone." King Zhou took a deep breath: "I want to make a simplification." ”
Xianyang City.
The weather is getting colder, Ying Zichu is wearing a fur cloak, and the cough is getting more and more serious, and from time to time you can see a trace of blood after coughing. Many imperial doctors have already examined it, mostly saying that if King Qin does not recuperate much, this disease will be difficult to cure.
But Ying Zichu didn't take it too seriously, it was just a few coughs, and he couldn't stop now.
"Ahem."
In the slightly cold courtyard, Lu Buwei sat in front of Yingzi Chu.
The two are playing against each other.
In the chessboard, the black and white sons are inseparable.
Lu Buwei smiled and put away the white zi in his hand and put it aside: "The king's chess skills are really getting better and better. ”
"Huh." Ying Zichu chuckled: "Mr. Lu is serious. ”
"So, the king summoned me this time just to play chess, right?"
Ying Zichu said that he always likes to play chess before important things, and I don't know if it's his habit, people who are familiar with him know a little bit.
Since Ying Zichu asked him to play chess, he understood very well that he had important things to entrust himself.
"Ahem." Ying Zichu took a sunspot and smiled at Lu Buwei.
"Mr. Lu understands me."
