In the deep winter, the Tong Pass is dripping into ice, and the breath is frost, which is very cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Standing on the city wall several feet higher than the surrounding area, watching the earth mountains outside the city gradually rise and approach, the fear in Qin Lei's heart was beyond words.

He knew very well that this dirt mountain was a huge threat, but he had nothing to do...... From the beginning of the third day, Qin Lei launched frequent night attacks, and even directly opened the city gate on the night of the fifth day, sending 10,000 warriors out of the city to destroy the earth mountain. However, the Qi army was heavily guarded, and the military formations were layered on top of each other, although the Qin army forgot to die and did not care about their lives, but they still did not break through the enemy formation after a night of fierce fighting, and they folded several thousand, which was the biggest loss since the beginning of the war.

But compared to this towering earth mountain, the fear and helplessness in Qin Lei's heart were even more difficult. He has always been willing to accept the advice of others, because he always felt that he was too immature to take on the heavy responsibilities alone. But since the return of Nan Chu, the situation has changed, on the one hand, he has gained great confidence through Nan Chu; On the other hand, he also became suspicious of the intentions of the chief military advisor Le Buyi, because he became a little distrustful of others, thinking that even without the help of others, he was enough to compete with the world's heroes!

But on top of the high wall of this wind pavement, helpless against the rising earth mountains of the Qi army, Qin Lei finally realized the pain of not having a military advisor's think tank...... There is no one in the city who can provide a good plan, if Mr. Le is here, it will never be like this, right?

Closing his eyes heavily, Qin Lei asked softly, "When will Mr. Le arrive?" He had asked this question more than 100 times in seven days. Although the imperial court refused to send troops to Tongguan, it was no longer the time to consider the interests of smaller groups, so Qin Lei had to hollow out his family and issue an order to Jingshan City, ordering Le Buyi to lead 30,000 recruits to Tongguan Pass as quickly as possible.

In other words, Qin Lei's title of generalissimo king is not completely useless, although most of the army still only recognizes the orders of the Taiwei Mansion, but at least he can deploy the army at will within the territory, and there is no need to defend the Taiwei Mansion anymore.

"Back to the prince, it will take five days at the earliest." Shi Dang said softly.

"Five days ......" Qin Lei muttered softly: "I don't know if I can survive until that day." ”

"Why did the prince say this?" Shi Dang couldn't help but be surprised.

Pointing to the scene outside the city, Qin Lei said a little sluggishly: "Zhao Wuyi is worthy of being the Duke of Baisheng, he built a high mountain in just seven days, in addition to his tactical purpose, this kind of mountain removal and reclamation has also greatly boosted the sluggish morale of the Qi army. He shook his head and said, "The difference in our strength is too great. ”

As if to confirm what Qin Lei said, the earth-shattering drums sounded outside the city, and I saw the soldiers and people of the Qi State mobilized together, each carrying a dirt bag and rushing up the earth mountain like a tide, so that it slowly approached the wall at a visible speed.

Alarmed by this momentum, the Qin army appeared on top of the high wall one after another, shooting a much denser rain of arrows towards Tushan than in the past few days. However, most of these feathered arrows were held up by the big shields on the side of the earthen ramparts, and the Qi army archers who were densely covered on the earth mountains also fought back fiercely and did not suffer a loss.

The arrows in the sky flew around, dense and dense, Shi Dang hurriedly led someone to cover Qin Lei tightly with a shield, but he pushed him away and said, "Don't block me!" "Regardless of the arrows that may come at any time, he keeps an eye on the opponent's movements.

In the afternoon, the top of the earth mountain finally surpassed the head of the city, and even caught up with the Phoenix Mountain in the west of the city, which looked magnificent. Just when Qin Lei thought that the other party was about to start a strong attack, the Qi soldiers retreated from the mountain like a falling tide.

Qin Lei was strange when he heard someone shouting: "Look, the people of Qi are moving sandbags at the foot of the mountain!" Following the soldier's point, he saw a large group of Qi people's husbands and began to remove the sandbags at the foot of the mountain facing west.

"What do they want to do? Do you want to bring down this mountain of dirt? Qin Lei said to himself: "That is, the sandbags on the surface can still be removed, but the inside is pressed layer by layer, and it can't be pumped or moved at all." ”

But for the sake of safety, he still ordered Captain Niu to organize the evacuation of nearby soldiers and civilians in case of emergency.

When the sandbags on the surface were completely removed, Qin Lei saw the true face of Lushan inside, and suddenly he was struck by lightning, his face became pale, and he sweated in the cold weather, and his body shook a few times before he helped Shi Dang to stand firmly, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm a big fool!" As he spoke, he shouted, "Quick! Fast! Order everyone above the high wall and behind to retreat! Shi Dare hurriedly went down to give the order.

Qin Lei held the city wall with both hands and looked down blankly. I saw that the side of the earth mountain facing the city wall was all supported by thick wooden stakes that were a few feet high, and there were always hundreds of them! obviously looked at the original dirt bags, but I don't know when Zhao Wuyi stole the beams and changed the pillars!

Looking at the goose cart holes about a few miles long, he realized that not only would he use the cover of the night, but Zhao Wuji would also use the darkness to smuggle wooden stakes from the holes, and secretly replace the dirt bags when the earth and mountains were still short!

No wonder Zhao Wuyi had to use tens of thousands of troops to defend day and night, resolutely not allowing himself to get close, it turned out that he had pinned his hopes on this earth mountain from the beginning!

It's ridiculous that he was carried away by successive victories, and he thought that he would win a hundred battles and win a hundred battles! But in fact, he has been led by Zhao Wuyi's nose, and he was so stupid that he built a wall with him, and he was simply sold and helped him count the money!

Qin Lei's chest was churning with blood and qi, his internal organs were burning, and he couldn't bear a mouthful of blood without spitting it out, he hissed and ordered: "Assemble all the reserves, wait fifteen zhang away from the high wall, and ...... Collapse, immediately make up for it! ”

"What? Lord, did you say that the city wall would collapse? The officers around him were stunned.

"Yes, let's go!" Qin Lei roared, and finally spurted out a mouthful of blood!

"Lord Wang......" The people around him hula came up and looked at Qin Lei with concern.

Who knew that after Qin Lei vomited blood, the irritability and depression in his chest suddenly disappeared, his eyes were like evil wolves, flashing with a faint green light, where did he look like a patient? He wiped his backhand on his mouth, and then smeared half of his face with blood, looking hideous, and his voice seemed to come from the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring: "Go!" ”

Everyone was frightened by him, and hurriedly climbed to assemble their own teams.

When the Qi army finished moving the sandbags that covered the wooden stakes, they piled firewood on the wooden stakes, poured fire oil, and when everything was done, everyone ripped them off. Only a small colonel with a torch was left, looking back at the handsome flag in the distance.

When he saw a red flag raised, the little colonel threw the torch into the pyre without hesitation! The dry wood poured with fire oil burned as soon as it encountered a fierce fire, and in the blink of an eye, it spread.

The foot of the earth mountain suddenly turned into a sea of fire......

And behind the dirt mountain, there is a wide and smooth avenue. The most elite Baisheng infantry army has been assembled and ready to go, just waiting for the earth mountain to fall, and they will charge along the avenue towards the city wall!

Behind the Baisheng Army, there was the fiery red lion battle flag, and the Baisheng Gong, who was dressed in military uniform, finally showed a long-lost smile after being gloomy for many days. Yes, he was so proud, as if he hadn't felt such pleasure in decades. Because for decades, the only opponent who can win several formations on his head is the one opposite!

Strictly speaking, since Qi and Qin started the war, Zhao Wuji had not won Qin Lei once. As for the generals' words such as 'wanting to capture the old man' and 'paralyzing the enemy', they are just putting gold on his face, if he loses again this time, the aura on his old Zhao will be completely ceded to that kid.

Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?

Fortunately, this time Lao Tzu won!

The fire burned for two quarters of an hour, and there was a crackling sound at the foot of the dirt mountain, and everyone knew that it was a stake that had been burned into charcoal, and at last it could not bear the weight of ten thousand pounds, and broke one after another......

Suddenly, there was a cloud of dust flying up and down the mountain, and the top of the mountain shook slightly, and then it quietly pressed towards the high wall of Tongguan City! This is a real mountain, and its majesty can be resisted by a newly built wall?

I only heard an earth-shattering loud noise, and the entire Tongguan City shook the ground, and its southeast side was in a gray yellow mist, and I couldn't see my five fingers.

"Beat the drums!" As soon as he saw the earth mountain collapse, Zhao Wuji yelled with all his might.

The earth-shattering drums immediately sounded, and tens of thousands of Baisheng infantry shouted in unison, rushing into the gray fog, never to be seen again.

Hearing the shouts of the Qi army from far and near, the Qin army that was shocked and crawled down dared to hesitate, without the officer's order, they stood up one after another, and regardless of whether they could see things clearly, they closed their eyes and rushed towards the dusty southeast city wall.

In the dust and mist, there were shouts of killing, screams, and more coughing, and it sounded like the two armies were fighting each other.

But Qin Lei didn't panic anymore, he had anticipated this scene half an hour ago, and had already prepared a way to deal with it.

Specifically, there are three axes, the first axe has been cut out, which is the death squad that intercepted the Qi army; The second axe was the six rows of archers who stepped on the table and stools, as well as all the catapults under Shi Meng, and for a time the arrows were like locusts, pouring down towards the breach of the city wall, and the enemy soldiers were brought down one by one like wheat, which gave the Qi army a great shock in their hearts, and the speed involuntarily slowed down.

The third axe is the best manifestation of the level, he knew that the enemy army was coming in an instant, and instead of repairing the city wall, he ordered someone to drag out a horse fence from the storehouse to block the fracture of the collapsed wall...... It's just that it takes time to set it up.

The dust finally settled, and people saw that the southeast city wall had become a sloping earth slope, the newly built high wall was gone, and the original city wall was completely buried by sandbags.

The two sides of the battle at the head of the city also showed their figures, but they all thought that they were unrecognizable natives, and they could not tell which side was which, and they could only judge friend and foe according to who faced west and who faced east. After all, the Qi army succeeded in its plan, and its momentum was even stronger, and it had already forced the Qin army back for several zhang, and it was about to occupy the city.

Although the Qin army was slaughtered and crumbling, it did not dare to retreat further. In the face of the Qi army that is charging wildly, you can only fill it with human lives!

At this moment of life and death on the line of victory and defeat, both sides broke out with the most primitive beastlines, slashing with knives, stabbing with guns, kicking with feet, biting with teeth, and using all means just to achieve their own goals.

Only half an hour later, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were scattered all over the slopes facing outward, of different shapes and entangled, unable to distinguish each other.

After all, the Qi army was too numerous, and finally wiped out more than 1,000 Qin soldiers who tried to block it like a storm crashing on the shore......

But before they could rejoice, they saw a sharp steel fence in front of them! The hot-headed Qi army continued to charge, trying to remove those obstacles that stood in the way, but they were attacked by the Qin army's cavalry lance through the iron bar, stabbing to death and stabbing countless wounds.

The offensive of the Qi army was stalled, and the officer leading the team said in a hurry: "Grab the spear!" "Soldiers of the Qi Army

He desperately grabbed the spear with his hand, which temporarily stabilized the situation.

At this time, the defenders' lance stabbing stopped, and the Qi army was overjoyed, thinking that the Qin army was helpless, so they stepped forward boldly and confidently, still wanting to pull out these fences blocking the way.

Who knew that after a while, the iron lance inside began to stab outward again, and the soldiers of the Qi army sneered in their hearts: "The donkey skills are exhausted, right? He was still grasping with his hands. As soon as he caught it, he screamed and jumped to his feet, shouting, "Hot! Scald! Scald! ”

It turned out that the Qin army roasted iron lances, spears, iron rods and the like on the fire, and then used them to stab the Qi army, and the effect was really good.

With this temporary fence, the Qin army finally stabilized the situation, and the two sides fought from noon to evening, and from evening to late at night, the defenders finally gradually lost their support, and the fence was also washed to pieces, almost useless. However, the Qi army relied on the large number of people and started a rotation tactic, making it clear that they would not stop until they reached their goal!

Qin Lei thought that after dark, the Qi army would have to rest, and everyone might as well go home to have a meal and drink saliva. Who knew that the Qi army was so ignorant of what to do, and finally annoyed the freshly baked Prince Wucheng Generalissimo Wang, only to see him wave the flag, and Bo Xian Saiyang, who was idle and had nothing to do, came up with a reserve team to help the battle!

As soon as the new force joined, it was really extraordinary, and a burst of sticks knocked the Qi army off the city.

At this time, Qin Lei also moved his royal flag to the city wall, and the morale of the defenders was even higher, and the bench bandits led by Bo Xian Saiyang and Qin Ba were even more crazy, with a reserve of less than 2,000 people, they pressed tens of thousands of Qi troops under the dirt slope, and no number of people could rush up.

Qin Lei didn't just come to supervise the battle, he also came to supervise the work. Considering that if the city wall was not repaired, he would not be able to resist the attack of the other party sooner or later, so after the soldiers in front stabilized their positions, he ordered the people in the rear to come forward and build the wall......

Imagine what it would be like for the soldiers in front to fight with knives, while the men behind were building walls with cement knives?

The two sides fought from dark to dawn, and the city had long since lost the figures of Bo Xian Saiyang and Qin Ba, and they had long been replaced by the rotating team.

In fact, everyone knew that the attack of the Qi army in the dark night was just harassment, and the purpose was only to prevent the Qin army from destroying the passage.

And in that room, Qin Lei's wall work also encountered big trouble, because it was built on the soil and the foundation was not strong, a collapse incident occurred in the middle of the night, and more than a dozen people were stoned to death.

Seeing that the night's hard work was in vain, Qin Lei wanted to cry without tears, and when he was depressed, he heard Shi Dare say weakly: "Lord Wang, it's better not to build a wall......

"Don't build walls?" Qin Lei raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what should I do, I will use your one hundred and forty or fifty catties to block?" ”

"That's not what it means." Shi Dang whispered: "You see that there are ready-made sandbags everywhere, and if we pile these sandbags, won't the effect be similar?" ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Qin Lei said angrily: "Do you want to see my jokes?" ”

"That's not what it means......," Shi Dare said casually: "I think the prince's method is more ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the ass by Qin Lei, and scolded: "Let them stop building the wall, and carry a sand cloth bag instead!" ”

When dawn falls and the sky light rises, the real battle resumes!

After the recuperation of the army was put in, the offensive of the Qi army increased sharply, but fortunately, after a busy night, the Qin army had already piled up a high offensive with sandbags, which could really block the enemy army.

Zhao Wuyi didn't want to delay any longer, he also personally went to the city to supervise the battle, so as to defeat the battle!

At this time, the battle flag of Prince Cheng at the head of the city and the marshal flag of Lao Zhao were only less than fifty zhang apart.

Zhao Wuji and Qin Yutian looked at each other not far away, and the two could clearly see each other's faces. This was also the first time the two of them saw each other's dignity.

Seeing Qin Lei's handsome face, Zhao Wuji cramped in his heart and said, "Why are you still a doll?" Although he had known Qin Lei's age, in the past six months, he had thoroughly comprehended the old spiciness, courage and courage of this great Prince Qin Cheng, and he had long regarded him as an old man in his forties and fifties, and when he finally saw him again, in addition to being shocked, he was also sour in his heart: "It's so young, it's really jealous...... If only I were a few decades younger...... old people always like this kind of fantasy.

Qin Lei's thinking was not as complicated as him, he was just sighing that this old man was so fat, how did he escape the pursuit of Bo Xian Saiyang and Gou Ji that day, wouldn't it be a rhinoceros...... I don't know if Lao Zhao will swear to lose weight after he knows about it......

The two commanders were cranky, and they fought for another hour, but they still didn't win or lose.

Wu Zhilong came over and suggested: "Teacher, the slope here is narrow, we have hundreds of thousands of troops, but we can only put 10,000 at most each time, and we can't give full play to the advantage of troops, do you see if it's ...... The students led people to attack the northern city wall, thinking that they should respond? ”

Zhao Wuyi nodded and said, "That's what I mean." He asked Wu Zhilong to raise 30,000 soldiers and horses and turn to the north to attack the Qin army.

He is a person who either does not do or does nothing, since he decided to divide the troops, he simply divided them, in addition to leaving 50,000 soldiers and horses to continue to attack and break through the soil slope, and divided the rest of the 100,000 troops, so that seven or eight generals each led a part and freely chose the direction of the siege.

More than 200,000 Qi troops scattered to attack, and there were more than 700 ladders at the head of the city alone. For a time, the entire city wall on the east side of Tongguan was densely crawled with the Qi army besieging the city, which made people's scalp tingle when they saw it, let alone defending the city!
