Chapter Nine: The Pass! 奣關!

Meng Xiao looked at the level in front of him that he couldn't attack for a long time, and showed a solemn expression! Although in the past 20 days, the intensity of the siege of the coalition army under his command has been sometimes strong and sometimes weak, which can be regarded as letting the Qin army go. But Wang Jian can stick to the present, and he must have some ability. The chess opponent will meet the good material, and the more than 20 days of fighting made Meng Fu feel a little sympathetic to Wang Qian, an opponent who has been friends for a long time.

On April 25, Meng Wei received news from Han Wangran that Li Mu's army had conquered Xunyang County. Han Wangran ordered himself to storm the pass on the third day of May. According to the plan, on this day, Li Mu should lead hundreds of thousands of troops into the heart of Hanzhong. Meng Fu must ensure that Xianyang's attention must be firmly attracted to Yaoguan.

"Li Mu, this kid, this time he led an army of 150,000 to run rampant in Hanzhong, he is really majestic! Think about yourself, there are only 140,000 troops under your command, or the Triple Alliance Army, no, now there are only 115,000! Only attack one place in Yaoguan, if you don't show it well, you won't be laughed to death by Li Mu's guy when you go back! Meng Fu thought secretly in his heart.

"Wang Qian, Wang Qian! The game of cat and mouse is almost finished! Now, I'm going to get serious! Looking at the enemy he had never met, a subtle smile rose at the corner of Wang Qian's mouth.

Regarding Meng Fu's sudden mention of attacking Yaoguan, Jin and Jingyang did not hesitate. Especially in the state of Chu, the 30,000 army has already killed 7,000, and if you count the wounded, the Chu army now has only 20,000 capable fighters. The casualties on the Wei side were the most severe, but relying on the foundation of the 60,000 army, the Wei State still had nearly 50,000 combat strength. But 10,000 people died in the battle at once, and Jin Contempt was more or less afraid.

However, now the lives of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Qi along the Luoshui coast are not easy. Originally, Lian Po hoped that Han, Wei, and Chu could be more competitive and draw a picture of winning the pass in half a month. Such. The state of Qin was bound to be in chaos. Xianyang is in chaos, where is Bai Qi still in the mood to besiege Yan Zhaoqi's army. The dilemma of the northern front was naturally solved.

Perhaps it overestimated the combat power of the allied forces of Han, Wei, and Chu, or it underestimated the determination and courage of the Qin army to defend the last line of defense. The battle against the pass actually came to a stalemate. You must know that the combined strength of Han, Wei, and Chu is three times that of the Qin army in Yaoguan!

At the beginning, Lian Po was still patient and waited for the situation of the battle to change. But ten days passed. Twenty days have passed, and a whole month is about to pass. The wars between Han, Wei, Chu and Qin remained unstoppable. And it seems that neither side is in a hurry.

Zhao, Yan, and Qi, who were besieged by the Bai Qi army, couldn't sit still, nonsense, if you were besieged, could you sit still?! The Qin army in Shangjun was about to move, and the Zhao army of Hexi County, who originally planned to cross the river to support Lian Po, had to abandon the plan and go north to clamp down on the Qin army instead! Lian Po is not the only one, but it is the most critical reinforcement. I have to put my hope on the front of the pass!

A sternly worded order was rushed to the pass by 800 li, after all, Lian Po is still nominally the chief general of the coalition army, and he can command the coalition forces of Han, Wei, and Chu! At the same time, the envoys of Zhao went to Xinzheng, Daliang, and Yingdu one after another, and they had a posture of questioning the guilt. The national strength of Yan Guo and Qi Guo is a little weaker, but it concerns themselves, and they also stand up without hesitation and support Zhao Guo's big brother's approach!

As far as Zhao Guo is concerned. They can send a second batch of reinforcements, but it will take a little longer! Yan and Qi are powerless. But the same. Zhao Guo thinks that the invasion of Qin is a good thing for all countries, why are they besieged, and they have to send reinforcements to rescue themselves! A full 200,000 Qin troops were attracted to the south bank of Luoshui, and the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Chu had so many fewer obstacles, so they should move faster!

Wei was somewhat wronged. It is true that your Zhao State sent troops at most, but if our Wei State counts the defenders of Hedong, it is more than your Zhao army. Qin Guo, a guy who had eaten stimulants, actually opened Hangu Pass and invaded Wei State! (But then again, Wei didn't value this aspect of Qin.) That's why I started the idea of Hangu Pass! )

When the envoys of Zhao came to cross-examine them, the second batch of troops sent by the king of Wei to reinforce Hedong had not yet set out. Considering that Zhao Guo is a big man, he can't afford to offend, and if the offensive in Yuguan is strengthened, it can indeed involve a lot of Xianyang's energy. It can invisibly relieve the pressure on the Hedong side, so King Wei patiently agreed to King Zhao's request.

As a result, an urgent messenger of 800 li rushed to the pass and brought a new order from the king of Wei - that is, to attack the pass with the Han army and the Chu army with all his might. If you don't want to be able to conquer the pass immediately, at least you have to make Xianyang think that the pass is about to be lost. As for the specific Cheng dù, King Wei asked Jin to look at it.

Therefore, for Meng Fu's suggestion, Jin Contempt only agreed neatly after hesitating for a few days. As soon as Wei Guoyi agreed, the troops were the least, and some of the Chu troops who were coerced did not dare to object. However, Meng Fu was afraid that the Chu army would not go all out, but would drag the Han army and the Wei army back, so Meng Fu was tempting Jingyang in every way!

First, he remembered the bittersweet memories and remembered His Royal Highness King Chu Huai, who was wise and martial, and then helped Jingyang review the blood feud between Qin and Chu, and finally hinted that after taking the pass, Xianyang was like a girl who had taken off the little inner one, the little brother of Chu State, oh, it was wrong, this big man can ravage as much as he wants! A hundred years of shame! You General Jingyang don't want to leave a heavy mark in the history books?! I don't want to be welcomed by the middle road after returning home! I don't want to be a big hero of the Chu State! Maybe hundreds of years later, all the Chu people don't remember who the king of Chu is in this generation, but for General Jingyang, who can bring a mere 30,000 troops to Xianyang, they will never forget!

Jingyang, who was completely attracted by the wonderful picture outlined by Meng Fu, completely forgot that after hundreds of years, the state of Chu is still not there, and it is still an unknown! But at least at this moment, the huge ambition in his heart was completely aroused! When he came, the king of Chu ordered that he wanted to take advantage and didn't want to contribute, but he was already left behind by Jingyang! Joke! Now there are 10,000 casualties, and when I went back, I was criticized by the king of Chu for a while! It's better to hug Han and Wei's thighs and take Xianyang. Maybe the king of Chu is happy and forgets about this! Will be subject to the king's life outside! Jingyang made his own decision at the first time!

After Meng Fu persuaded the little brother of Chu Jun to unswervingly join the team of storming the pass, Wang Jian found that his good days were over. If the Triple Alliance Army was careless in attacking the Pass before, now the Triple Alliance Army is taking it extremely seriously. Murderous! The instinct of a soldier! The murderous aura that filled the sky under the city proved how strong the desire of the Three Kingdoms Alliance was to fight!

These are more than 20 days. Qin finally figured out the distribution of the Six-Nation Alliance. The army trapped by Bai Qi was the army of Yan, Zhao, and Qi at all, and the army of Han, Wei, and Chu was on the side of Yaoguan. Although in terms of combat power, the coalition forces on the border are inferior to the coalition forces on the northern front in terms of quantity and quality. But it is undeniable that the allied forces of Han, Wei, and Chu fought almost locally, and not far behind them was the Korean Wuguan. Whether it's sending troops or food. The allied forces of Han, Wei, and Chu can all get the first time to help!

"Pass the order! Martial law for the whole army! In addition, order Lantian's resting army to prepare to support Yaoguan! Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet launched an offensive, Wang Jian said in a deep voice to the adjutant general behind him.

"General! Won't it be too early! The adjutant general said with some confusion.

The enemy troops under the city are just lined up, and I have experienced this scene dozens of times, and each time it drove them out of the city! How could the general not start the battle yet, and the reserves must be ready! When the rumors go out, doesn't it make people feel that the general is cowardly!

Wang Jian took a deep breath, looked at the silent enemy formation, and sighed: "This time is different!" They're going to fight us hard! Go! Command of the general! ”

The adjutant was stunned. After all, he didn't dare to ask again, so he could only cautiously reply: "Oh! ”

Qin State, Neishi County, Yuanli.

Since sending the envoy back to Handan, Lian Po's mind has not settled down. The casualties of the allied forces of Yan, Zhao, and Qi in more than 20 days of fighting have exceeded 30,000, but the Qin army on the opposite side is also uncomfortable, and the casualties should also exceed 20,000.

The first day of hard fighting. The ratio of casualties between the Qin and Zhao armies was about one to one. It's just that later, when the Yan army and the Qi army were fighting with the Qin army. There are more casualties, which invisibly widens the gap! So the Qin army now seems to have the upper hand.

As a border general, Lian Po, who has fought step by step to now a famous general, knows that if the 60,000 troops of Yan and Qi in the coalition can be as good at fighting as the Zhao army under him. According to his 160,000 troops, it is not impossible to have a real battle with the 200,000 army of Bai Qi! After all, his background determines that he is better at athletic warfare than defensive warfare!

But now with the burdens of 60,000 Yan and Qi countries. That's right, it's cumbersome! Lian Po has always felt that the Yan army and the Qi army can be strong and powerful when they have an advantage, but once the battle situation enters a stalemate. They will become very unstable! Therefore, Lian Po did not dare to take risks! Therefore, Lian Po can only stick to Yuanli County.

According to the original plan, how could he raid Pinyang and rely on Jiancheng to deter Xianyang there. If Han, Wei, and Chu were more powerful in Yaoguan, they might force Qin to surrender and sign an alliance under the city! But now, he can only shrink into the yuan. This made Lian Po wonder very much, this distance of 100 miles can decide many things! At least, for now, Xianyang didn't show much nervousness.

Yuanli is close to Luoshui, and on the other side is Hexi County, but unfortunately, now the main forces of Hexi are all going north. The 10,000 Qin State Iron Cavalry in Shangjun were eyeing each other, and they were very angry about the Six Kingdoms entering the Guannei, but they would not be so friendly to Zhao Junbiao!

Two days ago, Lian Po finally received a reply from Handan! Han and Wei swore that they would order their troops to increase their offensive against the pass, and in order to dispel Zhao's suspicions, they personally issued an edict in front of Zhao's envoys, and then sent it urgently for 800 miles! As for the State of Chu, it must not be able to play any tricks! The uneasiness in Lian Po's heart finally let go of some of it.

A few years ago, he chased Bai Qi's army in Sanchuan County and fought wildly all the way, and Bai Qi had to endure the pain of cutting off a piece of meat before retreating to Guanzhong. For such treatment, Bai Qi is in mind! Feng Shui takes turns, Lian quite couldn't imagine that he would enjoy the treatment of Bai Qi so quickly! The only thing worth celebrating is that he still has something that can restrain Bai Qi - that is, the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army on the side of the Guanguan that is enough to determine the general trend of the world! Their success or failure determines many things!

Lian Po knew about the Qin army's fierce pursuit in Hedong County, and Tian Dan and Rong Yan also knew it. But how to say it, what happened in Yuanli County and Hedong County can only be a small fight! Xianyang is the seven-inch land of Qin, and Yaoguan is the last layer of skin at the seven-inch place. As long as there is a crisis in the pass, the Qin State will definitely not have the slightest interest in Hedong.

It's not that Lian Po didn't think about the six armies attacking the pass together. But how to distribute the benefits has worried about many brain cells in Zhao Guo. If the Qin State really perished, the most profitable ones would be Korea and Wei. South Korea, in particular, is very likely to replace Qin, stand in Guanzhong, and wait and see what happens in the world! As a last resort, Lian Pocai built two ways! But now it seems. Things have come full circle, but we are back to square one!

On May 3, as Wang Jian expected, the combined forces of Han, Wei, and Chu launched wave after wave of onslaught attacks on Yaoguan! The Qin army, who originally thought that South Korea's siege equipment had all appeared, suddenly found that they were wrong, and they were outrageously wrong! Ten lookouts as high as six zhang were erected less than half a mile away from the head of the city, and the archers of the Qin army, who were originally condescending to release arrows, sadly found that they had become the side that needed to be attacked!

The archers of the coalition army wantonly shot and killed the Qin army at the head of the city! The coalition army, this is the trebuchet that bullied the Qin army, and it was damaged! The Qin army soon concentrated a small number of siege crossbows. You want to use this to reduce the enemy's observatory to a pile of pieces! But under the strong counterattack of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Qin army only damaged three lookouts and had to stop such a stupid act!

If you don't stop, you can't do it! Because the Qin army's siege crossbows have been exhausted! No more siege crossbows! The offensive of the Triple Alliance is a little faster!

Wang Qian's blood-red eyes stared at the seven lookouts not far away, he didn't know how the Han army could assemble such a terrifying siege weapon in just two hours! I've heard that Hanyi near Xinzheng is a world-famous instrument workshop! Almost all the skilled craftsmen in the world and even some famous houses of the Mo family are concentrated there! But Wang Jian never thought that Han Jun's equipment was already so powerful!

"General! Can't fight like this anymore! The other party is condescending! If we continue to fight, our archers will be killed! The lieutenant shouted with a panicked expression as he hid under a battlement.

Wang Jian looked at the subordinates around him who were killed by the enemy's arrows one by one, and his heart was ruthless. said: "Take people down and cut down those lookouts for me!" ”

"Whoa!" The lieutenant gritted his teeth and replied.

Soon. A Qin army, numbering about 3,000 people, suddenly rushed out of the city gate and rushed to the lookout platform no more than two hundred steps away.

Meng Fu smiled, he had already guessed that Qin Jun would not be able to live in peace. But what I didn't expect was that Qin Jun would be so fast! It seems that Qin Jun is really scared! Sacrificing such a big killing weapon by himself, the Wei army and the Chu army did not express their dissatisfaction. To know. If the South Korean army could have come out early, the Triple Alliance would not have damaged so many personnel.

In this regard, the light sentence of Meng Fu is that our army has just developed it. Anyway, during this time, the Korean army in Wuguan often transported equipment, and it was really hard to tell who was real and who was fake! In this regard, the Wei army and the Chu army could not say anything more. After all. The South Korean army also lost 8,000 people in the battle! Not eight hundred, but eight thousand!

However, Meng Fu really did not lie! This is really developed by those skilled craftsmen in Hanyi. The city wall of this era is only three or four zhang high, and the observatory is four zhang above the sky, and it is not impossible to be high, but the stability of the center of gravity has become a big problem. After all, it's a wooden structure!

"General Jin! General Jing! I'll leave this piece of fat to you! Looking at the Qin army who rushed out of the city gate, Meng Fu actually said with great interest to Jin Con and Jingyang beside him.

Now it is the Han army that is attacking the city, and the Wei army and the Chu army cannot ask for more. After all, compared to attacking the city, it seems simpler to fight with the Qin army on flat ground!

Jin Wei and Jing Yang looked at each other and smiled, and did not answer, but the order flag in their hands was waved, and suddenly the phalanx of two 5,000 people was rapidly pressed up!

"I don't want you to play like this!" This is the first reaction of the adjutant general of the Qin army! The deputy general of the Qin army angrily scolded the shamelessness of the Chu army and the Wei army in his heart, and actually used three times the strength to deal with himself, but on the other hand, he made his subordinates speed up! Hurry up, hurry up, as long as you solve these seven lookouts, you can still go back to the city!

Soon, the three armies were close to each other. There is no imaginary roar or scream, as soon as the three armies meet, it will be a bloody battle to the death! Needless to say, the Qin army and the Chu army are mortal enemies for generations! What's more, the fire in Yiling burned twice, Yingdu was flooded once, and many of their brothers and relatives died at the hands of the Qin people! Needless to say, the Qin army and the Wei army were bullied by the Qin State a few years ago, and the Wei State bullied the Qin State over the years, and neither of the two sides was willing to show weakness. Therefore, just like the confrontation between the Qin army and the Chu army, as soon as they came up, they killed to the death without any temptation!

The two sides are fighting for their lives in this small area, exchanging blood for blood, and the belief of both sides or the three parties is undoubtedly very resolute, either you die or I die! Chu Jun burst out with great passion at this moment! Fighting with the Qin army, they never needed to mobilize, not to mention that this time Jingyang took out a big reward!

Both sides mechanically hand out their weapons and kill each other or be killed by each other! The ground under his feet was soon stained with blood and muddy. The Qin army had to resist the attack of the superior forces of the Wei army and the Chu army, and at the same time, it had to divide the spirit to cut off the lookout, so the situation was at an absolute disadvantage!
