However, such a Praetorian Guard army was easily defeated by Chen Sheng alone, how could it not shock Zhao Tuo?

At first, Zhao Tuo thought it was just an exaggeration. But Chen Sheng played against the Praetorian Guards, and in the rear of his 100,000-strong army, there were thousands of garrisons who knew this scene, and this was absolutely wrong.

Looking at the performance of the Praetorian Guards, I saw that Chen Sheng instinctively maintained respect and respect, which even Gongzi Fusu and Meng Yi did not have treatment, these are all close servants of the Son of Heaven, guys with eyes above the top!

Zhao Tuo's attitude also took a 180-degree turn, and after knowing that Chen Sheng had a knighthood, he immediately called Chen Fifth Doctor. made Chen Sheng embarrassed. For some reason, Chen Sheng always felt a little difficult to hear about the title of five doctors, as if he was five doctors......

There was no need to be polite in front of the army, Meng Yi bluntly told Zhao Tuo the purpose of his visit, and let the two hundred forbidden troops join the war and attack Wuyi Pass.

Originally, Meng Yi led the guards to investigate the case, but after knowing that all the grain and grass might have been transferred to Donou, if you want to investigate, you must break through Wuyi Pass and sweep Dongou to be clear.

Zhao Tuo naturally wouldn't mind such an elite joining the battle. But his face was bitter, and he said: "The Praetorian guards are all iron cavalry, but when attacking the pass, they can only rely on foot bravery, and the cavalry may not be able to play a role. ”

Meng Yi smiled and said, "Today's Praetorian Guards are not only good at cavalry attack. Rest assured, your army is the main force, and the Praetorian Guard is the auxiliary. Maybe the Praetorian Guard will surprise you with a big surprise. ”

Zhao Tuo saw the mysterious smile on Meng Yi's face, and he couldn't understand the meaning of his words. Hurriedly asked Meng Yi to make it clear.

When Meng Yi and Zhao Tuo were negotiating peace in the army, Chen Sheng took Ling Suyun and Fusu, surrounded by Han Dali and Hu Bugui and others, and left the military camp in the direction of Wuyi Pass.

Originally, Chen Sheng just wanted to lead the leaders of the Praetorian Guard to observe the layout of the mountains around Wuyi Pass, but Fusu and Ling Suyun also wanted to see this Xiongguan that could block the 100,000 troops of the empire, so they also came to see it.

Also because of the support of the Soviet Union, Hu Bugui and Han Dali did not dare to be careless, so two hundred Praetorian Guards also accompanied them. Sima in the camp saw that the eldest son was going out of the camp to inspect, and wanted to send a guard to accompany him, but was driven back by Fusu. Two hundred guards, if they still can't protect his safety, then these 100,000 Qin troops still dare to come to conquer Don'ou?

Sima hurriedly reported the matter to Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo was shocked, and immediately went out of the camp to intercept the eldest son. Although the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army is extremely strong, but there are not many of them, if the enemy knows that Fusu is in the guard, he will definitely fight to the death. If Fusu can be captured, with such a noble hostage in hand, Donou's crisis will be solved.

Meng Yi stopped Zhao Tuo, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, there are two hundred forbidden troops, and Dongou must at least send three thousand cavalry to completely annihilate it." Just send a large army that has been agile to follow for miles, and if there is danger, approach to help, and if not, retreat. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo nodded. Dongou is vast and sparsely populated, and there are less than 500,000 people living in a huge area, and there are less than 50,000 people who can form combat effectiveness, of which the elite is less than 10,000 people, and as for the 3,000 cavalry, it is even more impossible to make up. If it weren't for the topography, the imperial army would have included this area in the empire's territory.

However, Zhao Tuo had other worries in his heart. He said: "The Dongou Barbarian Yue Tu Army is not enough trouble, but when Chu was destroyed, there were many remnants of the Chu State who fled to Don'ou, and their combat effectiveness has never been weak, and along the way, our army suffered a lot of their secret losses." ”

"But the Xiong Zhen internal guard of the Chu State?" Meng Yi's heart sank.

"Not bad."

……

Chen Sheng's original intention was just to come out and inspect the terrain. But with two hundred guards, and Ling Suyun and Fusu by his side, this terrain inspection has been in vain. However, he didn't care, and from the two hundred guards, he found a few who were good at drawing drawings, and asked them to act separately, drawing down all the mountains near Wuyi Pass in detail, and indicating whether there were rivers, mountain roads, and so on.

A few miles outside the camp, is Wuyi Pass.

From the condescending position of Wuyi Pass, you can overlook the entire Qin army camp. However, Zhao Tuo didn't care, and still stationed the camp very close to the stronghold held by the enemy. However, Zhao Tuo did not support the big, but built a continuous city by the mountains and rivers, even if the enemy army attacked and counterattacked, it was difficult to shake the camp for half a minute, and the two sides had been facing each other here for half a month. Zhao Tuo broke a new earthen city in Dongou, found hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass from it, and had abundant armaments, and was trying to take advantage of this new victory to break through Wuyi Pass in one fell swoop.

However, several tentative attacks were unsuccessful, so that Zhao Tuo did not dare to take it lightly. Wuyi Pass is built on the mountain, the city wall is as high as ten zhang, and it is impossible to fight it with bare hands. So during this time, Zhao Tuo ordered the craftsmen in the camp to make all kinds of siege equipment day and night. It is expected that in a few days, it will be ready to launch a siege signal.

Looking at Wuyi Pass, which was almost integrated with the mountain, Chen Sheng couldn't help but sigh. The city wall, made of huge stones, is extremely thick, nearly thirty meters high, and cuts off the passage abruptly. The pass is narrow, the entire city wall is less than 100 meters, and there are less than 50 people in the place below to accommodate pedestrians. Such a small place, only a few hundred people need to defend it, and even if there are thousands of troops below, it is difficult to launch an offensive.

If Wuyi Pass is stormed, I don't know how many people will die.

Fusu looked at the pass in the distance, and let out a breath of turbidity, and said: "The danger of this pass is probably no less than that of Hangu Pass!" "Hangu Pass is a major pass of the Qin people, in the past hundred years, the six countries have attacked Qin several times, leading millions of troops to attack Qin. But every time, the Qin people took advantage of the natural danger of Hangu Pass to stubbornly keep the enemy out of the country. In the end, they rose up and annihilated the Six Kingdoms.

Fusu's words were not a praise for Wuyi Pass, but a worry for the Qin army. 100,000 Qin troops, I don't know how many people had to be killed and wounded before they could climb this city wall.

Chen Sheng looked at this pass, and his heart was also awe-inspiring. However, for a while in his heart, he had already come up with a lot of ways to attack the pass. It's a bit clumsy, but it's practical.

"How will the army attack the city?" Chen Sheng took the lead in asking Fusu.

Fusu frowned and said, "Just now I saw a lot of craftsmen in the camp making siege equipment such as cloud ladders and hook reinforcements, and it is estimated that General Zhao wants to forcibly attack Wuyi Pass. ”

Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "The city wall is too high, the terrain is too narrow, and the cost of attacking the city is too high. ”

Fusu's eyes lit up and said, "Then what is your good plan?" "Fusu knows that Chen Sheng is scheming, maybe he already has a good plan for the match.

Chen Sheng frowned and said, "This pass is very high, and there are knife-like cliffs on both sides. Attacking hard is not the way to go. ”
