Chapter 443: You don't have a choice
Huo Qubing's iron-blooded voice spread from the city to the inside and outside of Hangu Pass, Shi Dangdang couldn't help but shiver, looking at the messy battlefield, Shi Dangdang lost confidence in capturing Hangu Pass for the first time.
"General, this time we lost nearly 60,000 horses. The cronies and generals reported their losses to Shi Dangdang with a sluggish face.
Now a group of Han generals are already afraid of Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing has only been two hours since he came to Hangu Pass, and has caused the loss of nearly 100,000 horses to the Han army, and the casualties of nearly 100,000 horses have only killed thousands of people under Huo Qubing's command.
Many Han generals have seen a superstar in the world of generals rising in Hangu Pass, and this superstar is standing up on the tired bones of the Han army.
Huo Qubing stood on the high Hangu Pass with his sword and looked down on the Han army soldiers, and said coldly: "If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end!"
Shi Dangdang listened to the number of casualties approaching 60,000, and looked at the frightened faces of the Korean soldiers around him, only to feel that the whole person suddenly aged dozens of years, and the original spirit was completely buried under the brilliance of Huo Qubing, Shi Dangdang turned around with his tired body and said softly: "Gather the remnants of the army and retreat temporarily." ”
Now the Korean army has completely lost the morale of the attack, rather than continue to attack here, it is better to go back to rest, and when he returns to the camp, Shi Kang ordered people to tap the loss, only to find that since the start of the war, the Korean army has killed more than 250,000 people in the battlefield of Hangu Pass, of which nearly 100,000 people died at the hands of Huo Qubing, and the loss of Hangu Pass is only 100,000 people, of which Huo Qubing only suffered thousands of casualties.
Faced with the number of battle losses that he had always wanted to escape, Shi Dangdang's expression was gloomy, and he roared in a low voice: "I, Shi Dangdang, have never suffered such defeats since my debut, I am naturally strong, I will never admit defeat, let me suffer such a loss, I will not let you have a good time." ”
After counting the losses, Shi Dang faced the bloody numbers, knowing that it was impossible to capture Hangu Pass, and now there were less than 200,000 people left in the entire Han army, which seemed to absolutely suppress the defenders of Hangu Pass in terms of numbers, but most of these people were afraid of Huo Qubing, so the soldiers who were killed by Huo Qubing could deal with others, but it was far from enough to deal with Huo Qubing, and there was no other use for sending them except to send heads to Huo Qubing, and the Korean army that had not been defeated in the hands of Huo Qubing was only about 70,000 or 80,000 people, so a little manpower in Shi Dangdang's opinion, it was difficult to cause an overwhelming advantage over Hangu Pass, and if these people were defeated again, I'm afraid he is no longer counting the losses here, but is going to escape.
Just when Shi Dangdang was thinking about what to do with a gloomy face, Yuan Hong walked in with an even more gloomy face, looked at Shi Dangdang and scolded angrily: "Waste, sitting on hundreds of thousands of horses, you can't even take down a mere Hangu Pass, you are also worthy of being called a famous general!"
Shi Dangdang gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't afford to offend Yuan Hong, he endured Yuan Hong's scolding and said with a calm face: "Lord Yuan Hong, it's not that the last general is incompetent, but that the other party's generals are too powerful." ”
Shi Dangdang didn't dare to say a word, but the meaning was in the words, the other party's generals are so powerful, you Yuan Hong can't beat it, why can I Shi Dangdang beat it.
Yuan Hong's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and he snorted coldly, and said: "Shi Dangdang, there are some things you know, before the war, I sent three people to block the reinforcements brought by the Emperor of Qin. ”
"This will be known in the end. Shi Dang said: "But there is some good news. ”
"There's no good news, there's a lot of bad news. Yuan Hong said coldly: "The three roads have failed, the emperor of Qin, Wang Mang, with 300,000 Qin troops, is rushing to Hangu Pass, it is estimated that he will be able to arrive at Hangu Pass as soon as tomorrow night, this seat has already sent the news back to Hancheng, presumably the news has arrived at this time." ”
"What?" Shi Dang was shocked, the 300,000 Qin army will arrive at Hangu Pass tomorrow night, if he has no reinforcements at that time, how will these frightened bow birds under his command who were frightened by Huo Qubing be the opponents of the Qin army at that time.
Gritting his teeth, Shi Dang said: "Then it's better for the last general to lead the troops to attack Hangu Pass now, but you need the help of adults to entangle the Na Huo soldiers, otherwise I am afraid that no one under the command of the last general will be able to stop the Na Huo soldiers." ”
Yuan Hong said coldly: "The opportunity has been lost. ”
"What do you mean?" Shi dared to be stunned.
"The 50,000 reinforcements led by Li Guang, the general of the Qin State, have arrived at Hangu Pass. Yuan Hong pointed to Hanguguan and said, "I don't believe you." ”
Shi Dangdang hurriedly looked towards Hangu Pass, but saw the flag waving on Hangu Pass, a team of Qin troops with cold faces stepped on the city, and quickly exchanged city defenses with the original Hangu Pass soldiers who guarded the pass, and the Hangu Pass guards who had been stationed at the head of the city for many days and night battles watched the arrival of reinforcements, and handed over the city defense with a happy face, and some soldiers even fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Seeing that the vacancies in the city defense of Hangu Pass were quickly filled by the Qin army, Shi Dangdang gritted his teeth and said, "Why did they come so quickly?"
Shi Gandang knew that tens of thousands of Han soldiers had entered the Qin State through a secret channel, and their task was to block the Qin State reinforcements, but now looking at the arrival of Li Guang's reinforcements, Shi Gandang didn't know that those Han soldiers were afraid that something had happened to them with the people who were connected with them in the Qin State.
Yuan Hong also knew that Han Bing had someone in the Qin realm to block the Qin reinforcements, he didn't care about these things, he was simply disappointed in Shi Dangdang's ability, originally heard many Korean courtiers boast about Shi Dangdang's ability, Yuan Hong still felt that Shi Dangdang was good, but in Hangu Pass, Shi Dangdang fought like this, but Yuan Hong was completely disappointed in Shi Dangdang.
Yuan Hong looked at Shi Dangdang coldly and said: "Shi Dangdang, you fought like this this time, you should know your fate, this seat is now appearing in front of you in order to make a deal with you." ”
"What deal?" Shi Dang said expressionlessly, as Yuan Hong said, he was finished, he couldn't take Hangu Pass, and he had lost so many soldiers under his command, he Shi Dangdang had no second way to go except to commit suicide by seppuku, rather than returning to China like this and being despised, it was better to die like a warrior with dignity.
"The Shi family is a big family in South Korea, and it has a history of many years, and this seat happened to know that your Shi family has this book of "Xuejing" with the annotation of the sage, and this book of the saint's authentic work is wanted. Yuan Hong looked at Shi Dangdang coldly.
"Which bastard leaked the family's secrets!" Shi Dangdang's face was shocked, he looked at Yuan Hong and said, "I don't care where you got the news, I can't agree to your request!"
"You don't have a choice. Yuan Hong pointed at Shi Dangdang and said lightly: "If you agree, your Shi family can still live in Hancheng decently, if you don't agree, then your Shi family will be the male thief and female prostitute in the future!"
"You dare!" Shi Dangdang pointed at Yuan Hong, his expression furious.
"Do you think this seat dares or doesn't dare?" Yuan Hong looked at Shi Dangdang with an indifferent face, as if Shi Dangdang was a fish on the chopping board, let him handle it.
