Chapter 233: The Great Army Goes Southern to Attack the Strong Pass
In the spring of Yu Nian, after more than half a year of recruitment, Chen Le's army has reached more than 6 million, hundreds of generals, and hundreds of strategists.
It was not an easy thing to destroy the Qin State, at least in Chen Le's opinion, it could not be easier than destroying Zhao Chengqian.
The overall strength of the Qin State is not weaker than him, he was able to directly hit Xu Jing in the Northern Expedition back then, because he passed through the original Zhao Land, not the Qin Land, and if he hadn't used a clever trick to earn Wang Yanzhang before the Tiger Prison Pass, then the Tiger Prison Pass alone would be enough for him to drink a pot, not to mention that now the Wenhua Academy and the Wuying Hall all support the Qin State.
On this day, Chen Le was sitting in the Hou Mansion drinking, and suddenly a soldier reported that someone had sent a letter, Chen Le asked where the person who sent the letter was, but the soldier said that the person left directly after delivering the letter.
After taking the letter, Chen Legang wanted to open it, but saw Yumo running in in a hurry.
"Senior brother, senior brother, the teacher sent someone to write me a letter!"
Chen Le squinted at Yumo, the little scholar back then was already a young man with red lips and white teeth.
"Yumo, you came just in time, I also received a letter from Mr. Jinghua!"
Yumo blinked: "Senior brother, you also received it, I haven't opened it yet." ”
Chen Le said: "Sit down, let's see what kind of moth Mr. is going to come out of together!" ”
Yumo sat down according to his words, the two opened the letter together, and exchanged them after reading it, and then Chen Lexian put down the letter with a smile: "Mr. has such a thick skin, he is really the first in the world!" ”
Yumo also said: "That's right, now that my senior brother is big, he will definitely dominate the world in the future, but Mr. has written these contents, which is really annoying." ”
Chen Le said with a smile: "What Li people are suffering from war, what society is in ruins, what is the main thing to be the common people in the world, in the final analysis, don't you just want to maintain the current three-legged situation, don't you want me to go south!" ”
Yumo said: "What is the senior brother going to do?" ”
Chen Le shook his head and said: "Mr. still doesn't give up, he is still buying time for the Qin State, but whether it is the people of Li or the people of the world, if the country is not unified for a day, the people will suffer from war and chaos for a day, and only the unification of the world can usher in real peace and prosperity!" ”
Yumo thought for a while and said, "Senior brother is right, it should be this truth, Mr. won't know this truth, why do you write such a letter?" ”
Chen Le said: "Because Mr. does not admit that he is wrong, in fact, he is not wrong, if I am not here, then this world will definitely be unified by the Qin State, when I and my junior brother and Zeng Xiaosan defected to Daxu, I can't see what will happen in the future, and I didn't have any power at that time, even if Mr. wanted to choose me, there was no way to start, so Mr. was not wrong, what he was wrong was the two letters he wrote to you and me today, at this moment, Mr. is still thinking about assisting Qin Guo to win the world, This is an extremely unwise choice! ”
Yumo nodded and said, "What does senior brother mean ......"
A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Le's mouth: "Without these two letters, I may have postponed the Southern Expedition until this autumn, but with these two letters, it is different, the Southern Expedition is urgent, tomorrow I will order the mobilization of the army, and then start the Southern Expedition!" ”
Chen Le's army has always been in a state of combat readiness, and it is very easy to mobilize, and after a few days, nearly five million troops have been assembled.
Chen Le divided these armies into three routes, leading the road himself, Yan Zidan leading the way, and Tian Ji leading the way.
Before leaving, Chen Le went to the tomb of Emperor Tianbao, three glasses of wine to the sky, three glasses of wine to the ground, three glasses of wine to the heavens, and then he was silent for a long time, and then he came to the outside of Xu Jingcheng and issued the order for the army to advance!
The three-way army is divided into three directions: the middle road, the east road, and the west road to the Qin State, the border of the Qin State at the moment is narrow and long, like a tadpole, the original territory of the Qin State is the tadpole-shaped head, and the occupied Zhao Wei Zheng territory is the body and tail of the tadpole.
The three-way army fought on all fronts, and the war was monstrous for a while!
Chen Le's middle road army went straight to the capital of Qin, this route is also the most difficult to bite, the road with the most obstacles, from the time he landed in Qin, there are a total of eight major barriers on the road, and there are hundreds of small cities.
The first pass encountered is called Bishui, which is a big pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the commander of this pass is Jing Fujing Junwen, the Golden Sword Heavenly King who ranks eighteenth on the Wuying List!
This Jing Junwen is a Confucian general, just as Chen Le said to Mu Yinghong that day, this person is also one of the few people who are both martial arts and Wenhua!
For Bishui Pass, because of the lessons of the past, Chen Le can no longer play a role in dividing the pass or digging tunnels, so he can only attack!
Is Chen Le's siege weapon now comparable to the original? Many of the instruments have never appeared on this continent before, and Bishui Pass can't be compared with Xu Jing at all, the terrifying huge crossbow made the Qin army defending the city numb for a while, and the huge stones on the catapult were actually wrapped in a layer of black oil, and then ignited and thrown on the city, the stout arrow tower, the high ladder, all announced that they would take the city!
Chen Le was standing on top of the tallest arrow tower at the moment, he looked at Bishui Pass, frowning slightly, Surabaya Pass reacted extremely strongly under such a powerful siege force.
The rolling wood and stones on the head of the city kept being thrown, and the Qin soldiers sprinkled boiling oil and hot water from time to time, and the besieging army also suffered considerable losses.
Chen Le stood on the arrow tower and squinted, looked at a golden armor general in the opposite city and thought about it, he didn't know the Golden Sword Heavenly King Jing Junwen, and the old generals under his command might have known him, but he sent all the old generals of Da Xu to Yanzi Dan's people, so no one knew at the moment.
He dodged a cold arrow from the opposite side, and then snorted, the opposite city head did not shoot the arrow tower in a big way, but was busy defending the city, but from time to time there were still cold arrows shooting.
Chen Le was wearing ordinary armor, and no one on the other side could recognize his identity, he reached out and took the treasure carving bow from Mu Zhi behind him, and then took out three cloud-piercing arrows, looked at the golden armor general who was commanding in the distance at the head of the city, and bent the bow and arrows and shot out with three arrows "whoosh".
The Jinjia general on the opposite side was commanding the Qin army defending the city, but he suddenly felt that the hairs on his body were upside down, and he didn't have time to see what was going on, so he fell directly to the ground, but it was a step too late.
As an arrow shot deep into his shoulder, his body lay to the ground, and just as he exhaled a long breath and was glad that he had escaped, a light from the sky suddenly fell from above!
