——

The moment the guards heard the sound of the siege horn, the soldiers led the soldiers to charge, under the Lu Pass, the Wei and Han coalition forces launched the siege, the soldiers were either armed with sharp blades, or holding long shields, or holding ladders to the foot of the Great Wall, in front of the battle array, 50,000 iron cavalry stood in formation, all motionless.

Before the battle array, I saw five thousand three-bow bed crossbows lined up, the three-bow bed crossbow is known as the king of cold weapons, in the face of this kind of weapon, even the soldiers wearing heavy armor in front of the bed crossbow are also an arrow through the heart, and effortlessly.

After the foot soldiers launched the siege, followed by ten thousand arrows, arrows rained down, the bed crossbow round of salvo shot very effectively suppressed the archers of the Chu army, in the situation of arrows like rain, the archers of the Chu army basically did not dare to come forward, with the suppression of the bed crossbow, the siege soldiers soon arrived at the foot of the plug, the ladders were erected on the Great Wall, the city car advanced to the bottom of the plug and began to rush the city gate frantically, inside the city gate, dozens of Chu troops with ** dead against the city gate.

In front of the guards, the catapults were ready to go, and the soldiers put the boulders into the trebuchets, which were also wrapped in a layer of linen cloth, and another soldier carried a wooden barrel of grease to pour oil on the boulders, and another soldier held a torch and immediately lit the grease.

In an instant, thirty huge catapults seemed to be set on fire.

"Putting ——!"

The lock rope was cut by the long sword, and more than 30 burning boulders soared into the sky, like a flowing fire in the sky knocking towards the Great Wall of Luguan.

The burning boulders either smashed directly on the Great Wall, or were thrown directly into the tent of the Chu army camp in the pass. For a time, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the sound of killing was like thunder on a dry day, crying and ghosts were frightened.

When the guards attacked the city, one by one the foot soldiers held up the long shield with one hand to climb the ladder, and the Chu soldiers saw that the well-equipped guards were all holding swords and shields, and the bows and arrows were resisted by the shields, so the Chu army used a large number of stubborn stones that had been prepared to frantically smash the enemy soldiers who climbed the ladder.

Under the mouth of Lu Pass, it didn't take long for the corpses to be everywhere, countless Wei Han foot soldiers were either killed by arrows, or smashed by stubborn stones, but death did not stop the army from attacking, when there were more and more corpses under the city, the soldiers behind stepped on the corpses to continue to attack the city, the fierceness of the guards and not afraid of death, in the eyes of the Chu army, it was no different from the Qin army.

The first army is scheming, the second is the army, and the next is attacking the city.

Attacking the city is obviously the next strategy, it is a veritable meat grinder, but if you want to smash Yan Ying, you must take Nanyang County, and if you want to take Nanyang County, you must break the Lu Pass, and if you want to break the Lu Pass, you will inevitably attack the city.

In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed since the continuous siege.

"Your Majesty, more than 6,000 of our soldiers have been killed or wounded, and the last general thinks that today should be a day to stop and attack again." Before the battle, a guard general came to the king's chariot Wang Jinyan said that the siege battle is a protracted battle, and it is almost impossible to overcome it in a battle, and it is common to even capture a city for a year and a half.

On the side of the king's tent was Wei Yi riding on horseback, he didn't say a word, Wei Zheng looked at the tragic battle scene on the battlefield, and said indifferently: "No, this Lu Pass must be broken within three days, otherwise the Tang Dynasty army will arrive, and it will be more difficult to break the Lu Pass than to ascend to the sky." In this battle, within three days, Lu Pass I am bound to win, pass the order, the coalition army 130,000 foot soldiers take turns to launch an orderly attack, Lu Pass is not broken, the war drums are endless! ”

"No——!"

Wei Yi watched the generals take the order and left, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, with such an offensive, my army may suffer heavy casualties." Saying that, Wei Yi also looked at the battlefield and added: "If it goes on like this, only take Luguan, and my soldiers are afraid that they will lose no less than 30,000 here." ”

Wei Zheng was expressionless and indifferent, and said calmly: "In the battle with Chu, the widow will not care about the gains and losses of a single soldier. The main force of more than 200,000 troops of the Chu army is storming a county in Jiangdong, Wu Anjun is defending Jiangdong, and the Chu army is also defending Luguan, and now the two armies of Wei and Chu are fighting whose main force breaks the enemy first, if the widow is one step later than the Chu army, the Chu army breaks Jiangdong first, and the main force of the army can gallop to aid Yan Ying, even if it captures Nanyang, it will not help. If the widow breaks Nanyang first and Yan Ying is in sight, Jiangdong County will not die even though it is in danger. ”

Obviously, although the main forces of the two armies of Wei and Chu are distributed on the east and west lines without colliding with each other, they are also engaged in an invisible contest, Wei Zheng's plan to encircle Wei to save Zhao is really a plan, if the main force of the Chu army returns to Zhaoguan, then the strategy of capturing Jiangdong will be declared bankrupt, and Wei Zheng's goal has also been achieved, once the main force of the Chu army returns, the Bai Qi army may be able to attack Wei Zheng's main force on both sides, which is undoubtedly disastrous for the Chu army, even if it does not happen, all the preparations for the Chu State to attack Jiangdong will be in vain.

Lao Zhaoyang Ling is also battle-hardened, knowing that after capturing Jiangdong, Wei Zheng will inevitably withdraw his troops, on the contrary, once the Wei army captures Nanyang, the barrier to the north of Yan Ying disappears, and Wei Zheng's army can enter the hinterland of Chu State for a long time, and the main force of the Chu army retreats back to Zhaoguan and gallops to aid Yan Ying, and a county in Jiangdong will turn the danger into a disaster.

It can be seen that the main forces of the two armies of Wei and Chu are gaining time, and the gains and losses of Nanyang and Jiangdong counties will directly affect the victory or defeat of the battle between Wei and Chu.

Wei Zheng looked at the battlefield and said with emotion: "Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner; Those who do not seek the general trend are not enough to seek a moment. ”

As soon as Wei Yi heard the king's words, he pondered for a moment and then faced the king: "The last general will thank my king for his teachings!" ”

Wei Zheng retracted his gaze and fell on the other party: "Wei Yi, it is the matter of the civil servants to govern the country internally, but it is not the military generals who open up the territory and expand the territory, there is never a shortage of fierce generals and warriors around the widows, and what is lacking around the widows is handsome talents, but at present, the only handsome talents who can really take charge of themselves are Wu Anjun Baiqi, one Wu'anjun Baiqi is indeed far from enough, and the widow needs two Baiqi, three, four ......."

"What the widow wants is not a county in Nanyang, not a land of Jianghuai......" Saying this, Wei Zheng stared at Wei Yi intently: "What the widow wants is the world of these seven countries......"

"The king......" Wei Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Wei Zheng to say such a thing to himself, and he finally saw and heard Wei Zheng's ambition with his own eyes. The latter smiled flatly, "The widow is optimistic about you, you Wei Yi is a handsome talent, don't live up to my expectations." ”

"The king's ......" Wei Yi never expected to be so favored by Wei Zheng, and actually compared himself with the powerful Wu Anjun Bai Qi, hearing this inadvertently, his heart was hot, and his blood was boiling, Wei Yi immediately gave his hand: "My king raised Wei Yi, but Wei Yi did not dare to compare with Wu Anjun, Wei Yi is not talented, but what the king points to, will be what I want, although tens of millions of people, I will go, nine deaths without regrets!" ”

"Good!" Wei Zheng immediately said: "As soon as the Lu Pass is broken, the widow will make you the forward general again, and personally lead 10,000 iron cavalry into the Lu Pass." ”

"No——!"
