Hanzhong County, Chenggu.

The county commander Yang Yi looked at the dense Han army under the city, and felt a little stunned. As the saying goes, if the army is full of 10,000, there is no boundary. The Han army under the city is known as a 100,000-strong army, and so many soldiers and horses are preparing to attack the city in an orderly manner under the nose of the Qin army, and the pressure of the Qin army can be imagined! Yang Yi even doubted that Cheng Gu would be able to block several charges from the Korean army! The torment of waiting for the war tormented every Qin army, and their faces were more solemn than ever. Although relying on the fortified city, the huge size of the Korean army is enough to wipe out all the advantages of the Qin army with numbers!

"How is that possible?! How could the Han army cross a distance of thousands of miles and reach Chenggu, the hinterland of Hanzhong?! Could it be that they have wings?! This was the first reaction of the Qin people after hearing the news of the siege of the Han army!

Those who are familiar with Hanzhong know that the north and south of Chenggu are vast mountains and mountains, and Nanzheng in the west has been safe and sound. The only reason that can explain the sudden appearance of the Tonghan army and the siege of Chenggu is that Hanzhong County east of Chenggu has been lost! This news, although shocking, is the most logically deduced!

County Lieutenant Wang Fang looked at the orderly Han soldiers under the city, took a deep breath, and said, "Yang County Order, has this emergency military intelligence sent someone to inform Nan Zheng?" ”

Yang Yi retracted the panic in his heart, nodded, and replied, "I have already sent someone to Nanzheng!" If nothing else, reinforcements will arrive tomorrow. ”

The pressure in Wang Fang's heart eased slightly, if the county lieutenant Ren Yu led the army to arrive in time, he shouldn't have much pressure! After all, he also has an army of 5,000 in his heart, and it is no big problem to hold on for three or five days. Looking at the two Yang Yi, who were a little trembling, Wang Fang said thoughtfully: "The big war is imminent, Yang County Commander might as well sit in the back office and coordinate in the center!" The war on the head of the city will be in charge of the lower officials! ”

Yang Yi is a literati after all. The reason why he ventured to the city was just to boost morale and calm the morale of the army! Otherwise, King Qin will investigate it in the future and say that he is cowardly and fearful, then he will be unlucky! In Yang Yi's opinion. In political affairs, make your own decisions; In terms of war, it's better to leave it to Ren Yu. Everyone has their own responsibilities, but if they really can't hold it, they can only carry a sword to serve King Qin.

Because of this thought, Yang Yi nodded and replied: "In this way, this official will wait for the county lieutenant to be good!" ”

Wang Fang arched his hand. There are no words. Yang Yi's face changed for a moment, and he said in a very small voice: "The county lieutenant thinks that the cities of Xunyang, Xicheng, and Baihe will ......?" ”

Wang Fang raised his head and stared at Yang Yi, the county commander, and said worriedly: "Most of them are more than lucky!" However, I have informed my soldiers to keep it a secret, and announced to the public that the bandits of the Korean army outside the city are pretending to be many of them coerced! ”

Yang Yi nodded, and sighed silently in his heart. With the support of Nam Zheng's army, no matter how powerful the Han army is, it will stop here! Unless they are willing to pay several times their own casualties. Otherwise, Chenggu is not so easy to take! But will South Korea be so easily satisfied? In other words, if you lead the army yourself, the five richest and most densely populated cities in Han are close at hand, and if you don't work hard, it will be difficult to stop. What a headache! Fortunately, he is a civilian official, so such a military affairs should be left to the county lieutenant and county lieutenant to worry about!

Two hours later. After building ten lookouts taller than the head of the city, the Korean army began to attack the city. It's still the archers covering, the foot soldiers charge! Unlike the other sieges, the Korean catapults began to make their own voices on the battlefield, mixed with the violent "performance" of siege crossbows. The originally peaceful Chenggu has become a hell on earth!

What Qin Jun didn't expect was. In just the first wave of the attack, the Korean army invested 5,000 troops, which was on par with the Qin army's soldiers defending the city! Wang Fang, the county lieutenant, also saw from this that the Han army was firmly determined. Without any temptation, the battle between the two sides at the beginning was a fierce battle without pre-warming.

As if killing their father and enemy, the Han army climbed to the top of the city one by one without fear of death, tearing all the Qin troops in front of them. Of course, the Qin army will not show weakness, they form a phalanx and cooperate tacitly to kill every Korean army that rushes to the front! Blood stained the weapons in the hands of both sides, staining their armor, but neither side was moved.

The archers of the Qin army gradually found that they had lost their grip on the endless stream of Korean troops in the distance. The archers of the Korean army in a higher place shot their robes with ease. As long as they dare to show their heads, they will shoot accurately by name. If they didn't lean out and fight back, then they would be more likely to snipe and kill those Qin army commanders, even chiefs, hundred generals, and five hundred lords with obvious characteristics, so as to create chaos in the Qin army!

Without the suppression of the archers of the Qin army, the charge of the Han army was even more unscrupulous. The Qin army could only let some Korean troops come up, making the entanglement between the two sides extremely chaotic, so as to put an end to the sneak attack of the Korean archers.

"Set fire!" County Lieutenant Wang Fang said fiercely.

The Korean soldiers on those lookouts were obviously sharpshooters, otherwise they would not have been able to shoot their own men so accurately. Han Jun's mind is obvious, but he just wants to sneak attack himself and create chaos! Then I'll have people set fires, and when the fire starts, don't even think of any of your soldiers who stay in the city!"

After the king gave the order, the Qin soldiers threw the gold juice and the burning linen cloth and torches into the city like rain. Screams kept coming, and the gold juice up to hundreds of degrees was enough to break the spirit of a veteran with a will as hard as iron. If you are lucky, the Han Jun who is recruited will fall to your death. If you are unlucky, you can only watch your skin melt inch by inch and die.

The smoke rose at the right time, obscuring the city, and a smell of scorched ground filled every corner of the air, whether it was the Qin army or the Han army, they only felt that their eyes began to turn red and began to cry. In the thick smoke, it has long been impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, everyone only knows that the side must be a robe, and the opposite side must be the enemy. Through the blurred figures that sometimes appeared in the sunlight, the soldiers of the two armies continued to fight. In those places that the Korean army did not occupy, the Qin army pushed the Korean army's ladder to the ground.

Although Han Jun on the lookout was not angry, he could only endure the choking smoke and the smell of burnt while waiting for the smoke to disperse. In this kind of environment where you can see less than two steps, no matter how good the archer is, you can only bow to the environment.

Li Mu didn't have any displeasure at the other party's method for cracking his own method so quickly. According to the plan, his goal is to beat Chenggu to the ground. In order to attract reinforcements from the Qin army in Nanzheng. But if he can beat it and easily take down Chenggu, Nan Zheng is afraid that he will not be able to shrink out. The fact that the Chenggu defenders can be so smart adds a lot of fun to themselves. It's just a pity that a "big killer" like gold juice is not so easy to make. The smoke bombs of the Qin army definitely didn't last long.

"General! Do you want to send troops to meet and bring back the brothers in front! "One of the lieutenants was worried about the situation in a battle that had no idea what was going on inside the smoke. Out of the words to build yì said.

Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No! This smoke doesn't last long! The war has not been started for half an hour, and if the troops are withdrawn at this time, it will hurt the morale of the Qin army, and it will lead to high morale of the Qin army! ”

The lieutenant who spoke stopped speaking and nodded thoughtfully. It is not clear who has the upper hand in the thick smoke, but the Qin army can only casually release arrows now in a vain attempt to stop the Korean army's charge, which is a good opportunity for the Korean army.

It's just that the golden juice that falls from time to time reminds the Han army that the piece of city above their heads is by no means so easy to occupy. More than 2,000 South Korean troops who have not yet had time to reach the top of the city. Once again, he climbed to the top of the city with the help of a ladder, and soon disappeared in the thick smoke. No one knew whether they were alive or dead, only the cries of killing reminded everyone that the war was not over.

Just when the Qin army's attention was focused on the east city gate, another branch of the Han army suddenly appeared at the south city gate. The eight hundred Qin troops at the head of the city were unprepared, and the Han army rushed straight to the city with a cloud ladder and began to attack the city. The number of this Korean army is more than 5,000, and the pressure on the Qin army can be imagined.

The unprepared Qin army sacrificed more than 200 people to withstand the offensive of the Korean army. But looking at the dense Han army under the city, and the flags faintly fluttering behind them. The two or five hundred lords who were in charge of guarding the south gate were a little panicked for a while.

He was not afraid of death, but worried about whether the main force of the South Korean army was ambushed in the mountains and forests, and the main direction of attack of the South Korean army was actually the south gate. You must know that now 3,000 of Chenggu's 5,000 troops are concentrated at the East Gate, after all, the terrain near the East Gate is flat, which is the most suitable for the army to attack the city. But South Korea did the opposite. If he feints to attack the East Gate, or even with a huge number of troops, he will attack the Four Gates with all his strength, regardless of the key points, how long can the Qin State hold on!

The herald quickly passed on the shocking news to the county lieutenant Wang Fang, who was also at a loss when he heard it. Ultimately. There is still too much difference in military strength. If you have 20,000 or 30,000 troops on hand, why not be afraid of 100,000 Korean troops! After all, defending the city by yourself has a great advantage! But now, if South Korea is really besieged from all sides, there is no good way for it to compete except to divide its troops evenly. In any case, before the arrival of the county lieutenant, I must do my best to ensure that I am not lost!

"Tell Yang County Order, for the sake of Chenggu's tranquility, it's time to summon the young people in the city to help defend the city!" Wang Fang made this painful decision.

The deputy was stunned for a moment, but still said calmly: "Oh! ”

Although according to Qin law, in wartime, the local governor had the power to dispatch the use of the people. But no one is willing to sacrifice the lives of civilians to the last step. This was an era of busy farming and wartime soldiers, and almost all the peasants of appropriate age had received the baptism of war. But there was a group of people in the cities who had never killed or even seen blood, and that was the born disabled or local tycoons, servants, merchants, peddlers, and artisans. Now, County Lieutenant Wang wants to let these people who are far away from the war on weekdays go to the city, and the deputy is of course very surprised!

"Forget it! I'll say it myself! You guard the city for me! Wang Fang thought for a moment and said.

"Whoa!" The deputy breathed a sigh of relief and replied respectfully.

Soon, the county magistrate Yang Yi saw Wang Fang, the county lieutenant who came in a hurry.

"Recruit the people?" Yang Yi listened to Wang Fang's words and stood up in surprise. Doesn't the king know? How many people will be offended by this! Could it be that the king can't hold on for even a day? He has 5,000 troops in his hands!

Wang Fang nodded unexpectedly and said, "Yang County Order, no less than five thousand Han troops have appeared at the south gate!" What this means, Yang County Order should be clear! This siege is only an hour! We'll have at least a dozen more hours! This time is enough for the Korean army to play enough tricks! I just want to ask, if the South Korean army is besieged from all sides, instead of 100,000 troops, 50,000 is enough, how long can we hold out! When the city is broken, is it still useful for those people to complain? ”

Yang Yi sighed. said: "Han Jun shouldn't take such a big risk!" After all, if they have to pay more than 20,000 yuan in order to wipe out our 5,000 army, some of the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Wang Fang said categorically: "There is no if, the county order!" In the past few days, have we heard the news of the county towns of Xicheng, Xunyang, and Baihe? No! The South Korean army appeared before our eyes. Prove that they have taken these cities cleanly! It's so fast that we don't even have a chance to get them to give us a tip! Isn't it clear what South Korea has in mind? That is to take the cities along the way as quickly as possible, until you take Nanzheng! As long as we don't have time to react, South Korea has a good chance of succeeding in one fell swoop! ”

"I'll think again!" Yang Yi said hesitantly.

"Can't hesitate any longer! Magistrate! The South Korean army may press on it at any time! My army of 5,000 can stop for a while, but not for a day! I'm going to defend the city first! If the county order is afraid of taking responsibility, I will bear the consequences! ”

After speaking, Wang Fang walked out without waiting for Yang Yi's reply. Yang Yi opened his mouth several times to speak, but then stopped, and the look on his face was sometimes resolute, sometimes hesitant, sometimes painful, and sometimes relieved. After struggling with two teas, Yang Yi still walked out.

Two hours later. The offensive of the Korean army became more and more urgent, and the huge Chenggu City seemed to have become a small boat in the storm, and it was in danger of being capsized by the waves at any time. But whenever the most dangerous time comes, Chenggu City can always be spared. Such a stimulus is by no means something that ordinary people can bear, and no one knows whether it will be life or death when the next "storm" comes.

At the most dangerous time in Chenggu City, a team of more than 2,000 people in disheveled clothes rushed to the city. From the East Gate to the South Gate and from the South Gate to the North Gate. Where there is danger, there is their shadow. On the side of the South Korean army. It also seemed to be tired, and gradually slowed down the offensive. But the Qin army did not dare to relax, and no one was sure whether the Han army was going to capture the old man again, and wanted to paralyze the Qin army before attacking.

Hanzhong County, Nanzheng.

Since Sima Coo's defeat of Shu. Nan Zheng finally came under the name of Qin. The Qin State took Nanzheng as a county rule, and its prosperity can be seen. The battles that took place at the Yaoguan, Hangu Pass, and Luoshui River did not affect the city in the Hanzhong Basin in the slightest.

All the people of Nanzheng know that from the perspective of the entire territory of the Qin State, Nanzheng is the safest place. To the south of it is the hometown of Bashu, where the road is difficult, and to the west is Longxi County, which guards the frontier. To the north is the rich Neishi County, and to the east is the Han River, which stretches for thousands of miles. It's a place that's easy to defend and hard to attack, and the climate is good. Nanzheng people are accustomed to guarding dozens of acres of fields in their hands and commenting on major events in the world.

But today, the arrival of several knights shattered Nan Zheng's calm. Those who are observant will find that the small black flag on the back of the knight means that they are conveying the most urgent military information, and one man and three horsemen indicate that they have traveled a short distance, otherwise they would not have brought so many horses in order to speed up, and it can be inferred from the direction they entered the city that it should have come from the east. A very simple conclusion came out, there was an extremely heavy thing in the east of Nanzheng!

Soon, the news began to circulate! Curious people began to analyze what kind of big event would be worth putting on such a battle! The last time the people of Nanzheng saw the small black flag was when Shu invaded Nanzheng in 368 BC. Because of the geographical location of Nanzheng, the people of Nanzheng can hardly see the messenger who transmits the emergency military information, let alone the highest emergency military information!

Some people say that it must be Nanyang's Korean army that has fought, after all, Nanzheng seems to have only one worthy opponent in the east, South Korea. Some people say that it must be the Chu State that has come over, after all, the Chu State and the Qin State have an indescribable deep hatred. The State of Chu may feel that it is not enjoyable to fight the Guan, and wants to get involved in the land of Hanzhong, after all, the east of Hanzhong originally belonged to the State of Chu. Some people swore that it must be that Korea and Chu must have united, after all, the Qin State is still strong, and they may not dare to do it alone! There is a cushion on the back, and if you lose the battle, you can run back first. Such a statement naturally caused laughter, and the original tense atmosphere disappeared.

No matter which guess it is, Nan Zheng people don't seem to have a problem. Whether it is South Korea, Chu State, or even the two countries combined, their threat to Nanzheng is almost equal to 0. The Han River, which stretches for thousands of miles, can completely drag them down, not to mention, the Qin State has 70,000 garrisons in Han, and they are all the elite of the old Qin people! Even if the Qin State did not notice it for a while, it allowed the enemy country to occupy several cities. The Qin State can also gather the core forces of Hanzhong County - the 50,000 troops of Baozhong, Chuyang, Nanzheng, Chenggu, and Anyang, go down the river, and break the enemy country in the east!

At this time, the county guards and county lieutenants of Hanzhong County were not so optimistic! After receiving the news that there was an urgent military intelligence report from Chenggu, the county guard of Hanzhong County thought that Korea or Chu had captured Xicheng, which was the worst estimate of Yingqu. After all, if Xunyang is in danger, it should be reported by Xicheng. Since it is Chenggu report, it is likely that the area east of Xicheng is in big trouble.

But Yingqu didn't expect this trouble to be so big. South Korea's 100,000 troops actually quietly surrounded Chenggu City, a distance of more than 100 miles from Nanzheng! (To be continued......)
