The Third Army and the Sixth Army of the Zhu State were adapted from the Zhennan Army of Marshal Bo Xian, with nearly 300,000 people in the two armies, which were definitely the best qualified and powerful divisions of a hundred battles, facing the 600,000 troops of the martyrs of Chu across the river and holding the southern defense line of Great Qin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Fourth Army of the Patriotic Republic is Qin Li's troops, with his Longxiang Army as the soul and the rebuilt Zhendong Army as the backbone, it has always been a powerful force...... There are no weak soldiers under a strong general, and we firmly believe that. Its number is also 150,000, but the majority of the infantry troops are infantry.

The Fifth Army of Zhenguo was adapted from the troops of Marshal Xu Xu of Zhengdong, with the same number of 150,000, and they guarded the entire Huguan Grand Canyon and contained at least 200,000 or so Qi troops, which played a very important role.

The remaining Seventh Army of Baoguo, the commander of the army is Huangfu Zhanwen, and the Tiger Army, the Eagle Yang Army plus the Broken Army, and the 50,000 Infantry Army under its jurisdiction are the most mixed, but it is in line with the characteristics of the Huangfu Army's long sleeves and good dancing, coupled with the strict tempering of these years, its combat power should not be underestimated.

These seven armies, one million and fifty thousand troops, are all the regular military strength of the Great Qin Dynasty, although Qin Lei can mobilize millions of reserves who have received armed training all year round at any time, but it is far from quenching the thirst of the near, and the combat power will not be high.

After deducting the third, fifth, and sixth armies guarding the border passes, Qin Lei organized the troops of the four armies to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, which was already a desperate gamble that did his best and didn't even care about the middle of the road!

"What, big brother is scared?" Seeing that Qin Li was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, Qin Lei glanced at him, put down the towel in his hand, and said lightly: "Why don't we change, you will be the commander-in-chief, and I will go to the front line to command the siege." ”

"Afraid? How to write the words that you are afraid of? Qin Li pursed his lips and smiled: "The Tiger Prison Pass is my Qin Yuli's, you don't want to snatch it again!" ”

Early the next morning, the generals of the Qin army who were on time saw His Royal Highness King Wucheng standing side by side with the marshal.

As soon as he saw King Wucheng descending from the sky, the smarter general was immediately overjoyed, and after the salute, he couldn't wait to ask: "Lord Wang, is there going to be a war!" ”

"Not bad!" Qin Lei smiled and said, "We will set off before nightfall today, and you have a day's time to prepare." ”

The soldiers are very fast, it seems that the training level of Qin Li's troops has reached a very high level, they really finished packing before dark, and after eating a sumptuous Zhuang Xing meal, they then advanced towards Luoyang City at night, preparing to join the first army, and then the soldiers pointed to the coveted Tiger Prison Pass!

At the same time that they were ready to go, the city of Luoyang also entered a state of first-level alert, and Yin Makui of Luoyang Mansion read to the people of the city His Royal Highness King Wucheng's 'Request for Qi Wen', announcing the beginning of the war, and conscripting all men over the age of sixteen and under the age of fifty in the city to form a team of people, responsible for transporting the grain and grass equipment accumulated in the warehouse for seven years to be transported to the Tiger Prison Pass for the army to use.

Qin Lei's hard work on weekdays finally turned into a powerful war force at this moment - the grain and straw he had accumulated in the area of Luoyang City were enough for 2 million people and 500,000 animals to eat for 20 months, and the trebuchets he prepared in the city's armory were as many as tens of thousands, and the number of crossbow arrows and feather arrows exceeded 10 million, and other military materials were also available, ensuring the supply of materials for the troops, and there would never be a lack of follow-up.

Thanks to his years of overwhelming war propaganda, the people of Luoyang City have never forgotten their outright hatred with the Qi State, and even the young people who are not old enough and the elderly who are more than fifty years old have asked to join the Minfu team to contribute to the attack on the Qi State.

It's just that the three eastern provinces can easily mobilize more than 1 million strong people, and Luoyang and its surrounding places alone have formed a team of 200,000 people, and there is no need for the elderly and children to participate......

The unwilling losers were even given dry food, did not need to be paid, and had to follow the team to set off, and had to help the soldiers...... You can imagine how high Qin Guo's heart strength is.

It's just that there are some things in this world that you can't do if you are well prepared and determined, such as...... Capture the Tiger Prison.

Before the arrival of the Qi army, we can recall that this ancient Xiongguan was named after King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is connected to Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a lot of husband, and there is a trend of no one to open. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been a battleground for soldiers, and I don't know how many heroes and famous generals have fallen into the sand here......

When history marched to the post-Three Kingdoms period, it became the border between Qin and Qi, and it was like a tall and strong parapet wall, separating the Qi state in the east from the wolf-like Qin state...... There is a well-established saying that if there was no Tiger Prison, the Qi State would not have a national throne that lasted for more than two hundred years, and perhaps it was annexed by the once-prosperous Great Qin State as early as a hundred years ago!

In view of the important position of the Tiger Pass, the people of Qi have always spared no expense to operate this place, the city walls on the west side are built against the mountain, which is extremely steep, and the mountain terrain under the city wall is dangerous, even if no one is in the city to stop it, it is not easy to climb up.

Although the Qin army had ravaged the western wall when it briefly occupied the area eight years earlier, eight years was enough time for the Qi army to repair and refine it, and make it stronger and stronger, enough to withstand an attack by more than ten times the number of troops.

And after the combination of the inside and outside was broken eight years ago...... Although it turned out to be Yum's strategy...... But it also sounded the alarm for the people of Qi State, Zhao Wuji sent the most die-hard general Chen Liefeng to lead 100,000 elites to garrison here, and never give Qin any chance to take advantage of it!

Qin Lei and his Great Qin Lion are about to attack this place...... When the army finally arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass after a night of marching, a red sun slowly rose from the east, and the Tiger Prison Pass shrouded in ten thousand golden lights was so majestic and magnificent that even the most cheerful Qin officers and soldiers could not be optimistic about the prospects......

However, after years of harsh training, they have already been trained to be a steel master who ignores death and obeys orders. With the beating of the rousing snare drums, the lack of confidence in the hearts of the soldiers immediately disappeared, and the black pressure was lined up into a standard battle formation, a neat and orderly marching queue, a bright sword and gun, and a full momentum, all showing that this was an invincible heroic division!

However, they are not destined to be the protagonists of today, when the 100,000 cavalry soldiers set up a defensive position according to the order, one after another nine-bow bed ballista, they were pushed out from behind the formation by groups of strong soldiers, densely lined up in the first line, three rows before and after, each row has as many as thousands. The huge and powerful bed crossbow had already opened its hideous bowstring, the thick ox tendon strings of a child's arm, and the slender crossbow arrows that shone with cold light, all of which made people shudder, and they didn't know how far its range would be.

While the bed crossbows were in place, the twin ox carts dragged the heavy giant catapult slowly forward, stopping a little farther away, followed by countless cannons covered in huge canvas.

In order to achieve the best effect, the ballista commanders began to order the troops in position to launch an attack on the walls of the Tiger Pass...... With the groaning of scalp-numbing instruments, countless boulders and crossbow arrows were mixed together, and dense meteor showers swept across the sky, flying towards the city wall in waves, and many Qi soldiers fell from the wall tower with screams, and suddenly fell into flesh.

Disdainful of celebrating this achievement, the artillery crossbowmen nervously and skillfully adjusted these big guys according to the landing point of the arrow, striving to achieve the best results.

On the upper floor of the Tiger Prison City, the white-haired old general Chen Liefeng wore a mighty armor and held the sword at his waist tightly.

coldly stared at the dense Qin ** team under the city.

For him, eight years have passed since the last war, and eight years is enough time for him to become a veteran among the sixtieth crops, and it is enough to change his original impatient temper.

The precipitation of time made the old general extremely calm, after many offensive and defensive battles in the Tiger Prison Pass, he was no stranger to this set of enemy troops, but he still felt unprecedented pressure......

First of all, he saw two flags of the King of Qin, one was his old opponent over the years, Prince Qin Guoyong and the commander of the Fourth Army, Qin Li. This flag is already accustomed to it, and it is another one for him, the flag of the generalissimo of the Qin State embroidered with a hideous black tiger!

That means that Qin Lei is here, and what this name represents does not need to be repeated in words.

Therefore, he was still mentally prepared for the enemy troops scattered all over the mountains.

However, the Qin army seems to have prepared a large number of advanced siege equipment, all kinds and varied, many of which are directly copied from other Qi countries, and even have limited models belonging to Qi countries...... This is usually due to the fact that the weapon, although powerful, is too expensive. It can be said that as long as it is a limited model, it must be the military top secret of the Qi State, and it is strictly protected, how could it fall into the hands of the Qin State and be mass-produced?

Obviously, this is a great threat to our side, and the casualty figure could hit a new high as a result.

", don't let people live!" This is what Chen Liefeng wanted to say to Qin Lei and Qin Jun.
