Chapter Ninety-One: The Gate is empty, and there are no Qin people!
The dawn sprinkled down between heaven and earth, and on the tall and majestic Tongguan wall, the guard general Qin Shuangzheng frowned, looking at the dense Wei army that came out of the valley in the distance, and standing beside him was Yan Guang's deputy general Zhang Bo. After Yan Guang heard that the main force of the Wei army rushed to Hangu Pass, he left Zhang Bo and nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in this Tong Pass, and he led the army to go straight to Hangu Pass.
Yan Guang, as a young general who has risen rapidly in the Qin State in recent years, in addition to his own talents, also relies on the lineage he cultivated in the army, and this Zhang Bo is one of Yan Guang's most trusted generals, so Yan Guang is very relieved to let Zhang Bo assist Qin Shuang in guarding the pass.
As the main general, although Qin Shuang complained a lot about this, this Yan Guang was the commander of this campaign, and he was a small local guard, so he would never dare to save his face. So on the surface, he accepted the assistance of this chapter Bo.
Now the second general is standing on the head of the city, looking at the "Wei" flag and the "Zhou" flag fluttering in the open space not far in front of him, and he is also a little surprised in his heart, thinking that the Wei army will have to arrive in at least three or five days, but he didn't expect to arrive now, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he thought that the soldiers and horses in front of him came from where the divine soldiers came from.
The sturdy and tall Tongguan was like a giant, blocking in front of the tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, and like a mountain range, which caused great pressure on the Wei army.
After receiving the Wei army to send troops to Yaxian County, it has been five or six days now, don't underestimate this simple five or six days, for the Wei army, five or six days is the time for them to hurry, but for the Qin army, it is a good time to build a complete fortification.
Now on top of the wall, there are countless bows and crossbows, as well as the huge rocks and rolling logs hidden behind the wall, and the sharp weapons of fire oil. The Qin army had been waiting for the Wei army here for five days, and now when they saw the Wei army coming, they were waiting to greet them with these life-threatening things.
The battle flags fluttering in the wind are full of wind, and the soldiers in the city are holding on to Jin Ge, and the soldiers in iron armor are waiting for the attack, ready to deal with the attack of the Wei army under the city.
On the battlefield, the aura of slaughter rushed to the face, making everyone's hearts tremble.
Qin Shuang looked at the complete fortifications on his side, although he was a little nervous in his heart, he was very confident.
"General Zhang, the Wei army is here." That Qin Shuangcheng Zhang Bo is deep voice.
"Don't worry, this Tongguan is like a moat to them, we just need to hold this place to the death, and when the battle in Hangu is over, General Yan will definitely come to relieve the siege." That Zhang Bo smiled and said loudly to this Qin Shuang.
"When the time comes, the Wei army outside the city will definitely be called back."
Qin Shuang nodded and said: "What General Zhang said is that with their tens of thousands of troops, it is completely a fool's dream to try to defeat the majestic and strong Tongguan of my Great Qin, we only need to block their attacks a few times, they will inevitably be demoralized, and the lower their morale, the greater the chance of our victory." ”
Zhang Bo nodded, looking at the Wei army slowly coming outside the city, but there were some doubts in his heart.
This Qin Shuang didn't know the details of the Wei army, but he Zhang Bo knew. Although Wei advocated force and had a strong military, there was a huge hidden danger within it, that is, the dispute between Yang Chen, the crown prince of Wei, and Yang Wang, the king of Xiang.
In the Pingxi army, He Xifeng is the person of King Xiang, but Zhou Feng under the city is the prince's person, according to him, the commander-in-chief of this Wei expedition is King Xiang, so since this King Xiang knows that Zhou Feng is not his person, why did he send Zhou Feng to lead a team to attack the city, while he and He Xifeng led another team to go straight to Hangu?
If he was Yang Wang, he would definitely let He Xifeng lead a team of soldiers and personally lead another team of soldiers, so that no matter whether he had merit or demerits, he would firmly grasp it in his own hands.
Of course, no matter who the enemy was, Zhang Bo firmly believed in his heart that he would keep them out of the city gate with this majestic pass, and would not step into the pass for half a step.
Thinking of this, he said lightly to Qin Shuang: "General Qin, tell the soldiers to get ready and wait for the enemy's attack, but when there is no order, you must not act rashly." ”
When Qin Shuang heard this, he nodded, although he had a lot of complaints about Zhang Bo's arrival in his heart, but as a general, he naturally knew which was more important in the current situation.
There was a tense atmosphere on the battlefield, and the winter wind was like a sharp knife cutting on the face of every soldier.
Seeing this appearance, Qin Shuang thought about it, and asked this Zhang Bo again: "I don't know General Zhang, do you know what the current situation of that Hangu Road is?" ”
"I just received news that the battle on the Hangu side has started, and General Yan has already exchanged hands with Naga Xifeng." Zhang Bo was very calm and said slowly.
"The road from Yaxian County to Hanguguan is much better than the journey to this Tongguan, and you only need to pass through a valley in Hukou along the way, unlike this to Tongguan, you have to go through the steep Centipede Ridge and the muddy Huze."
Zhang Bo explained, once again looked at the Great Wei Xiong soldiers outside the pass, and said with a smile: "General Qin don't worry, you and I just need to defend this Tong Pass, the Wei army outside the pass will definitely be defeated, as for General Yan's side, there is no need to worry at all." ”
"After all, General Yan is General Du's favored candidate." Zhang Bo muttered.
When Qin Shuang heard this, he was also unconsciously stunned.
Du Chong, the "White Horse General" of the Qin State. There are seven uniques in the world, and the Qin State occupies two of them, one is the "Pingjing Iron Wall" Shengong Battalion, and the other is this General Du Chongdu.
When Qin Shuang heard that it was Du Chong's recommended candidate, his heart was also relaxed, and he began to concentrate on dealing with the war in front of him.
The wind was tight, the war horses neighed, and with this aura of slaughter that made everyone feel frightened, the army outside the pass finally arrived at the Tongguan Pass.
When the formation was settled, he came out of the army and rode it, and it was Zhou Feng, the flying general of the Great Wei.
Zhou Feng looked at Qin Zhang and the others on this pass, laughed disdainfully, and then said in a brutal voice: "Qin State rat generation, my Great Wei Pingxi Army is here to seize the pass, if you are acquainted, don't surrender quickly, maybe your grandfather Zhou is happy, and will leave you a way to live, if you resist stubbornly, don't blame my Great Wei Iron Army for being ruthless!" ”
Its sound was like a wild bull soaring into the sky, like a thunderous roar, piercing the eardrums of every soldier, and shaking them to the ground is painful.
Qin Shuang's face sank when he listened to Zhou Feng's words.
This Zhou Feng is really angry, and he is about to surrender as soon as he comes, as if his Great Wei attack this Tongguan is as simple as probing for things.
In his heart, he shouted loudly: "Zhou Feng Wufu, arrogant and lawless, if you really want to be capable, you can come to take my Tongguan, you don't have to bother with words." ”
When Zhou Feng heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and shouted to the Wei army behind him: "Brothers, have you seen it, this Tongguan, which is known as the world's Xiongguan, is actually a person who does not know the times, you say, do we want to give them a little bit of power?" ”
When the Wei soldiers heard this, they shouted in unison: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”
Its voice runs through the sky, reaching the sky, until the sound slows down, and the aftersound is also between the heavens and the earth, and it cannot be waved for a long time.
"Okay, lift the guy!" When Zhou Feng heard this response, he also shouted.
When the Qin army on the pass heard this, they couldn't help but become vigilant, staring intently at the Wei army under the pass, and they didn't know how the Wei army would attack the city.
I saw that the team in the middle of the Wei army was scattered, and then I saw that behind the Wei army's camp, there were dozens of siege equipment, large and small.
The first to bear the brunt is the catapult, although the catapult is very ordinary, but it is also the main weapon of the siege, and it is so powerful that it goes without saying.
The second is the punch, which is a five-story siege tower with eight wheels and a height of five floors. At the bottom are the soldiers who push the cart forward, and on top of it are various longbows, crossbows, stone cannons and other heavy weapons. The chariot uses its height to shoot directly into the city from the car, and of course it can also be used to approach the city wall, destroy the wall, and directly attack the defenders on the city wall.
In fact, the impact of the car on the city wall is not the largest, to say that it is more practical than it, it is the tiger head hammer that hit the city gate, but the tiger head hammer is not easy to carry, so this trip is not brought.
These siege engines were slowly moving towards the vanguard. Seeing this majestic instrument, the soldiers of the Wei army were also in a great mood, and their morale reached the highest point.
"Ben will ask you one last time, life or death?" Zhou Feng looked at the catapult, then turned his head and said coldly to Qin Jun on the city tower.
"If you Zhou Feng have a kind, my Qin Shuang's life can be taken by yourself!" When Qin Shuang heard this, his face turned cold, and he pulled out his knife and shouted at Zhou Feng.
When Zhou Feng heard this, he showed a strange expression, sneered, and then closed his eyes, but he opened them abruptly after a while.
"I'm going to make you full of bone soldiers! There are no Qin people walking in the empty passes! ”
"Soldiers, listen to my orders, do whatever it takes, go all out to attack the city and take Tongguan!"
