Finally, after paying the price of more than two thousand people, the Qin army succeeded in destroying the lookout of the Korean army, but the good fortune of the Qin army also came to an end. It is undeniable that the combat power of the Qin army is very strong, but no matter how powerful the army is, it cannot resist the siege of the enemy close to ten times. For the Qin army, the only good news is that because of the narrowness of the Yongdao, in fact, the only people who can fight with them are only five or six thousand Wei and Chu troops, but this is enough for the Qin army!

At the head of the city, a guard looked at the dwindling robes under the city, and asked a little anxiously: "General! Or, the last general will lead people to rush down and rescue the lieutenant general? ”

Wang Jian didn't want to save his soldiers, but he couldn't! The enemy army is clearly trying to figure out the only remaining more than 1,000 Qin troops under the city of Guò to lure themselves to send more people into this dead end! Yes, it's a dead end!

From the beginning, the offensive of the Wei army and the Chu army seemed to be fierce, but it deliberately exposed some gaps for the Qin army. This allowed the Qin army to destroy the only seven remaining lookouts. After destroying the lookout, these Qin troops became heroes, and could the Qin army tolerate meritorious men being slaughtered by the enemy before their eyes? The allied forces of Han, Wei, and Chu threw this problem to Wang Qian!

If Wang Jian sends troops to rescue, it is very likely that he will also be entangled by the Wei and Chu armies that have been planning for a long time. And the Han army just stopped attacking the city at this time, which just gave the Qin army a very obvious signal - your robes are being beaten by us, and if you don't come down, we will slaughter them all in front of you!

Wang Jian believed that if he wanted to rescue these more than 1,000 Qin troops, he would have to invest six or seven thousand troops, and if he was not careful, he might even be broken by the enemy army that followed! Therefore, at the first time, Wang Jian made up his mind that this risk could not be taken!

However, I watched the robe be sent to death. If you don't do anything, your soldiers will definitely be cold. Even if the soldiers below who are about to die do not resent themselves, the living will have a grudge against themselves! At the end of the war, this does not bode well.

To save or not to save, Wang Qian's heart is once again contradictory!

"General! The lieutenant is down there! "A few lieutenants were eager to jump out of the city and tear to shreds the group of enemies who were beating their robes!

Wang Qian, who knew that Ci was not in charge of the army, gritted his teeth. Still unable to convince himself to sit and watch in cold blood, he shouted: "Send a thousand archers!" Fast! ”

"Whoa!" The captain who heard the order was overjoyed and ran down to transfer the troops.

It didn't take long for all the archers in full gear to come up, instantly blocking the small head of the city! Wang Jian looked around and said in an unquestionable tone: "Give me arrows!" Indiscriminate arrows! ”

The two or five hundred lords of the archery battalion were surprised, and the captains under Wang Jian were also surprised, what kind of order is this! Shouldn't the archers take cover at the head of the city, and the foot soldiers open the door to attack the enemy?! How did it become an indiscriminate attack?! Is this saving or harming?!

"Didn't you hear? Let me shoot the arrows! Those who disobey the order will be killed! Wang Jian looked at the stunned archer. roared.

The archers of the Qin army, who adhered to the military order, were extremely reluctant to release arrows towards the mixed "crowd" under the command of two or five hundred lords! Sharp arrows took the lives of waves of people, some of them were of the Qin army, but many more were of the Wei army and the Chu army. No matter how accurate the archers are, they will accidentally injure the robe that has been moving!

"General!" The leader of the guards said with some distress.

Wang Jian seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice was deliberately loud, and he said, "I'm saving them!" Rush down, what do you want us to do to fend off a hundred thousand eager enemy troops! What should I do if I lose Xianyang, and what should I do if Daqin??!! For the sake of the present. They could only use bows and arrows to cover and wait for the lieutenant to retreat to the base of the wall. Hang them up with a rope! Save as much as you can! However, I want to let those enemies on the other side know that if they want to eat my army, they will wait to break their teeth if they don't have good teeth! ”

The archers knew that they had misunderstood the mind of the commander, and when they thought that the life and death of those robes under the city were in their own hands, they couldn't help but release the arrows in their hands a little faster! The rest of the soldiers put the rope down in a panic. Whether you live or die depends on the brothers below!

The Qin army, which was engaged in fierce battles with the Wei and Chu armies, quickly understood their situation and immediately fought and retreated, retreating to the base of the city wall. Under the indiscriminate attack of the Qin army's archers, the Chu and Wei armies paid a lot of money, and no matter how stupid people are, they know it. The further you go, the more dangerous it becomes. The Qin army had no intention of opening the city gate at all, but used the clumsy way of rope to hang the Qin army in a desperate situation one by one, no matter how slow the speed was, even if their own archers shot the Qin army in mid-air to the ground and smashed it into pulp from time to time, the Qin army was completely unmoved.

Meng Wei knew that the Qin army would never give himself a chance, and it would be meaningless to continue like this, so it was better to end today's battle earlier! At the sound of an order, the coalition soldiers who were waiting a little impatiently fired thousands of arrows, and the Qin army, which was still resisting day by day, was suddenly wiped out from the battle sequence of the Qin army!

In this battle, the Qin army sent 3,500 Qin troops outside the city, and only less than 100 people, including the deputy general, successfully returned to the city, and the rest were all killed! And the casualties of the Chu army and the Wei army combined were less than a thousand!

Looking at the slow and orderly retreat of the enemy army, and thinking about the only 15,000 people in the city now, Wang Jian sighed deeply. The real test is yet to come!

"Go and report the latest situation to Xianyang, in addition, inform the garrison of Lantian and let them stop being stupid, I have a hunch that it won't be long before they come to reinforce me!"

The deputy general looked at Wang Jian with some strange instructions, and responded respectfully: "Oh! ”

This time the catastrophe did not die, and the deputy general only felt that it was really a fluke. Counting today's losses, the Qin army has suffered more than 20,000 casualties since the engagement. There are now 15,000 troops in the city, and there are also 15,000 troops in Lantian behind him, so it should be no problem to use 30,000 troops to fight against the remaining 110,000 troops of Han, Wei, and Chu. After all, they can't fight hard, the lieutenant thought to himself.

Qin State, Xianyang.

It's all messed up, it's all messed up! The monarchs and ministers of the Qin State did not expect that the Six Kingdoms would be so crazy, and the army of less than 400,000 would actually put up three fronts!

The current situation is - the northern front: the Baiqi army VS the Lianpo army, the Qin army annihilated more than 30,000 Yan, Zhao, and Qi combined forces at the cost of 20,000 casualties. The current comparison of the strength of the two sides is Qin Jun VS Yan, Zhao, and Qi is 180,000 to 130,000, which seems on the surface. The Qin army had an absolute advantage, both in terms of quantity and quality. But what bothered the Qin State now was that the turtle shell that Yan Zhaoqi posed was really difficult to beat.

The first line of Hangu Pass: Huan Qi, Li Yao's army VS Storm Kite, Xin Huanyan's army, after paying the price of 30,000 casualties, the Qin army annihilated more than 15,000 Wei troops and more than 4,000 Han troops. Now the two sides are divided into two places. The 15,000 Huan Yan Legion and the 45,000 Xin Huan Yan Legion confronted each other in the Anyi area, and the 15,000 Li Yao Legion and the Storm Kite Legion, which numbered about 25,000, confronted each other in the Quwo area. Counting the 10,000 combatable soldiers at Hangu Pass, the number of Qin troops and enemy troops is 40,000 VS 70,000. The Qin army is at an absolute disadvantage, and there is the Han army in the middle of the two armies of Huan Qi and Li Yao, which cannot echo each other from afar.

The front line of Yaoguan - I have just received a recital from Wang Qian, the main general of the front line, and it is determined that the one who is confronting Wang Qian's army is the Mengfu army, which has 50,000 Han troops, 60,000 Wei troops, and 30,000 Chu troops. However, after more than 20 days of fierce fighting, the intact combat strength of Wang Qian's army is only 30,000. And Meng Fu still has more than 100,000 men. The ratio of casualties between the enemy and us is very abnormal, and this is due to the siege weapons of the South Korean army!

From Luoshui in the north to Danshui in the south, the raging flames of war burned all over the border of Qin. The total number of troops mobilized by both sides exceeded 800,000, and it was another bloody battle! Among them, there are nearly 700,000 who are really engaged in the confrontation! The Qin State used fewer troops, only 300,000! But looking at the current situation, the Qin State will have to continue to increase its forces to deal with the threat of the Six Kingdoms!

Now. What the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State are discussing is how to adjust their forces in all directions and win the war as best they can!

For Li Yao's request for help. The opinions of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State are extremely unified! Aside from the more than 10,000 Qin troops who had to guard Hangu Pass, with 30,000 Qin troops and 70,000 prepared Han and Wei coalition troops, even if the Qin State was victorious, it would be a miserable victory, not to mention, the Qin State could not see the hope of victory now!

Troops! Send reinforcements! Only in this way can the division of the Korean army between Li Yao and Huan Qi be broken. And. Qin State got the news that Wei State had just added a large army, and the King of Qin was not willing to receive a request for help from Hangu Pass every day, so he gritted his teeth and sent a full 50,000 troops to reinforcements! That's the only way. in order to be invincible!

This time, Qin State's goal for Hedong County is extremely clear, that is, to grab grain, people, and territory! Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Wei army was in Yaoguan, the king of Qin asked his army to have the primary goal of defeating the Han and Wei coalition forces, followed by occupying half of Hedong County! If his subordinates can grab one more county, the king of Qin will send the corresponding reward one by one!

Regarding the slow progress of the Baiqi Army, the opinions of the Qin monarchs and ministers were very divided. Some people said that Bai Qi was a famous general at that time, and he had 50,000 more than Lian Po's side, so he should be a quick decision! Behind the Lianpo Legion is Luoshui, storming, onslaught, and driving the Lianpo Legion into Luoshui, so that they can vent their hatred, so as to show the strength of the Qin army!

Some people recognize the way that the Bai Qi army is now fighting steadily, after all, the other party is leading the army with the world-famous Lian Po! Fighting against such a famous general, if you are in a hurry, you will often die in the end! Anyway, the supply of Lianpo's army has been cut off, and after a few more months, Lianpo's army will even collapse without a fight!

In this regard, King Qin's reaction was extremely cold, he just said lightly: "Now that Wu Anjun has mastered nearly one-third of Great Qin's army, there is no room for error, and the widow can still afford to wait for three or four months!" One sentence gave Wu Anjun infinite confidence and encouragement!

What the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were most worried about was the pass, after all, in this direction, the six countries had the greatest advantage. From one to three at the beginning, it has now become one to five. On the contrary, the Qin army is becoming more and more weak! In particular, Wang Jian said that South Korea's siege equipment is endless! Before, they restrained themselves and did not go all out to attack, but now the Triple Alliance Army does not know what medicine they have taken, and they are attacking day and night. During the day, it is a real knife and a real gun, but at night it is a non-stop harassment, and if the Qin army is not careful, the enemy will fake a real act and attack instead!

Although Wang Jian expressed his confidence in holding the pass as always, no one can deny that this is based on the rationality of the allied forces of Han, Wei and Chu, if they go crazy and take the pass at the cost of 100,000 casualties, Wang Jian implied that he hoped that Xianyang could be prepared! The so-called preparation is that after the 50,000 Qin army has defeated the 100,000 enemy army, how can Xianyang have 350,000 troops to block the enemy army! Save the enemy army from wreaking havoc in the pass!

One is Yiqu and the other is Gongzi City. The people of Guanzhong can't afford to withstand such a "civil strife" for the third time! In the direction of Yaoguan, whether or not to add troops, and how many troops, this is exactly what the ministers of the Qin State are arguing about.

Some people think that the reason why the combined forces of Han, Wei, and Chu have become so crazy now must be affected by the unfavorable battle situation of the Lian Po army. Behind their madness. It must be the great influence exerted by the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi, especially the Zhao State. Zhao Guo's abacus played very well, let Han, Wei, and Chu take the front, beat the pass in danger, beat Xianyang panicked, and transferred part of Bai Qi's army to the pass, so that the Lian Po army could fight with the Bai Qi army with ease!

The ministers of this faction believe that Han, Wei, and Chu must also be aware of the insidious intentions of Zhao Guo in vain trying to make them and himself consume! Their onslaught won't last a few days, and now it's just acting! The Qin state should devote its limited forces to the battlefield where it is more needed. For example, increase investment in the direction of Hedong County, such as adding more troops to Bai Qi, and crush the Lian Po army as much as possible!

The relatively conservative faction thinks more, Qin can't take risks, what if Han, Wei, and Chu go crazy. Although Wang Jian swore by it, it is undeniable that in the past half a month, the Han army has fought better than the Qin army! Especially the lookout mentioned in the report. The Han army used this day and night to harass the Qin army at the head of the city, and the casualties of the Qin army could only be further increased!

They think. It is possible not to send troops, but at least more troops should be drafted! After all, after sending an army of 50,000 to Hedong County, there were only 30,000 soldiers near Xianyang who could fight! Just in case, why do you have to mobilize another 30,000 troops to defend the vicinity of Xianyang!

In the end, it was Prime Minister Wei Ran who spoke, and there is no gain without investment. Let Longxi County send another 30,000 troops to Lantian to protect the strategy!

King Qin only hesitated for a moment before agreeing! He didn't have a better way, so that the Qin army would use more than 400,000 troops, which was the same as the Six Kingdoms! But. With the same number of troops, the Qin State will have an absolute advantage on the northern front and the Hangu Pass line! Even if it is the first line of the pass, the Qin army will have enough confidence!

At the same time, the state of Wei, Wu County.

The flames of war burned half of the sky, the ownerless war horses were screaming, and the broken battle flags hung weakly. There were all kinds of corpses on the ground, some kneeling, some falling head-on, some curled up, all kinds of them! The chariots that were smashed to pieces were scattered in this huge area, some were burned to ashes, some were trampled into the dirt, and even more were mixed with cerebral plasma and bloodstains!

The original yellow earth was stained with too much blood, and it was long since it was black or dark red. The air was filled with the smell of burnt and the strong smell of blood, and the sky was gloomy, and it was impossible to distinguish the boundary between heaven and earth. When will this vast chaotic world come to an end?

Listen carefully, there are still intermittent moans on the battlefield, these are seriously injured and abandoned soldiers, there are Wei troops, and there are Qin troops! A few soldiers who knew that their lives were imminent looked at the sky with numb or longing eyes, greedily inhaling the turbid air.

A dull thud sounded in the chest of a Wei soldier, and a sharp sword pierced his lung, all of which blocked the flow of blood that should have spurted out, and the Wei soldier barely managed to hold on until now. But I'm afraid it can only go so far, the blood that has been oozing gradually takes away his strength and his vitality, and he can only watch as death embraces him into his arms! Can't struggle! Can't pray!

On May 1, the Huan Qi army, which had been besieged for several days, broke through, and when the Wei army could not resist or did not dare to resist, the Huan Qi army escaped from Wu County and went all the way south.

On the same day, Li Yao sent a messenger of 800 miles to Xianyang to ask for reinforcements! The storm kite also rushed the situation of the battlefield to Xinzheng and Daliang for 800 miles!

On 3 May, Huan Qi marched south with a small number of elite soldiers carrying a large number of flags, but he himself led the main force to make a detour north. The Wei army was unaware for a while, and was ambushed, with more than 10,000 casualties. Only then did Huan Qi lead the army south. Xin Huanyan was worried about fraud and did not dare to chase after him.

On the same day, after urgent discussions, Wei decided to send an additional 50,000 troops to the Hedong battlefield, and the reinforcements rushed to the Hedong battlefield at a speed of 100 miles a day.

On May 4, 25,000 Wei troops surrounded 12,000 Qin troops along the river, and the Wei army sent a small number of troops to feint.

On the same day, the two sides of Storm Kite and Li Yao launched a five-day bargaining "negotiation" on the redemption price of more than 1,000 Qin prisoners. The soldiers on both sides did not engage in any more fighting, except for the vigilance they deserved.

On the same day, Qin decided to add an additional 50,000 troops in the direction of Hedong to deal with the aggressive offensive of Han and Wei! The Qin military raised an army at the first time!

On May 6, the 50,000 troops of the Qin State set off from Xianyang to the Hedong battlefield with the grain and grass needed for January! On the same day, the Huan Yan army intended to break through again, and fought a fierce battle with Xin Huanyan's army, the Qin army killed more than 2,000 people, and the Wei army suffered about 3,000 casualties. Although the breakthrough was fruitless, the Qin army successfully advanced ten miles to the west! (To be continued......)
