"Even if there is a feud, what can Yan Guo do?"

After all, it is about the country, Meng Yanjun is a little unconvinced, and this matter is obviously Qi Huan Gong secretly planning something, no matter what, Meng Yanjun will not weaken his own momentum.

So the matter was revealed, but a shadow hung over everyone's hearts.

Two days later, the generals discussed and decided, and finally decided to attack Hangu Pass.

The head of Hangu Pass is still so quiet, the black banner is stretched out, the horn is blowing melodiously, the merchants from all over the world who come in and out of the city are still in an endless stream, and there are many people who have fled and left the Qin State, but the Qin army in Hangu Pass has no signs of tension at all that the war is approaching.

The 300,000 Zhao troops stationed in Mianchi opened together and left the fort of Mianchi, under Chen Bing and Hangu Pass, but on Hangu Pass, there were only Bai Qi and 100,000 Qin troops, and the rest of the Qin army was nowhere to be seen.

"The anti-Qin alliance is strong, and the Qin State will definitely use the dense mountains and forests on both sides of Hangu Pass to ambush our army, and Guancheng will be calm, which is a plan to lure me into an ambush. Otherwise, would the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin State really go to heaven and earth? ”

The armies discussed the abnormal situation in Hangu Pass, and Zhao Jianglian took the lead.

"In that case, how should the army break the enemy?"

Qi Huan, who was in the first place, asked.

"If you can divide your forces and attack, detour behind enemy lines, and flank the front and rear, you can easily win."

Lian Po replied.

"Specifically, General Lian Po might as well talk about it in detail."

Qi Huan is fair.

"Our army is strong, this battle should be divided into three ways, the first way, the vanguard Zhao army frontal assault Hangu Pass, not to break the pass, but to stick to the Qin army can not be separated; On the second road, the main four armies of Qi, Lu, Song, and Chu went out of the Kunshan Mountains in the southeast, took Wuguan by detour, entered the hinterland of Guanzhong, and attacked the Qin army from behind; On the third road, the soldiers and horses of Wei, Han, Yan, Zhongshan, Wei, and Zheng stayed outside Hangu Pass, one intercepted the fleeing Qin army, and the other prevented the Qin army from stealing out of Hangu Pass and attacking various countries. If so, the odds are clear. ”

Lian Po said.

"General Lian Po's plan is good, but the arrangement is a little improper, the second detour into the hinterland of the Qin army, to take Wuguan, it is very likely to encounter the main force of the Qin army led by Qin Mugong, and be besieged by the Qin soldiers and the main force of the Qin army in Wuguan, so more troops are needed."

"And the third way intercepts the defeated army, deters the Qin army so that it cannot steal the city, there is the main force of the Wei army and the other princes [***] team to sit in the town, the Yan army of 150,000 people can be regarded as half of the main force, killing chickens with a knife, how can it be used in this useless place? It should be transferred to the second road and enter the hinterland of Qin with the main army. ”

After pondering for a while, Qi Huan was fair.

Clear-eyed people know that this is Qi Huan Gong targeting Yan Guo, Lian Po initially incorporated the Yan Army into the third road, and also had a mind to protect the Yan Army, as the leader of the alliance, Qi Huan Gong arranged it like this, and it was inconvenient for Lian Po to refute, so he could only choose to acquiesce.

The anti-Qin alliance discussed the strategy of sending troops, and the Qin side was also prepared.

Bai Qi led 200,000 regular troops and 100,000 militiamen to sit in Hangu Pass, of which 50,000 veterans and 50,000 recruits guarded the officers, and the remaining 150,000 veterans and 50,000 recruits were ambushed in the mountains and forests on both sides of Hangu Pass, as Lian Po said.

After taking charge of 400,000 regular troops and 100,000 militiamen as the central army, he sent 30,000 veterans and 20,000 recruits to garrison Wuguan, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Wang Jian led 200,000 regular troops and 100,000 militiamen as the rear army, not only to protect the Qin country, but also to suppress the front and middle armies.

Qin Wu and the 100,000 military troops of his headquarters proposed to Qin Mugong, and ambushed them in the mountains and forests on both sides of Hangu Pass with Bai Qi, deciding for themselves whether to ambush the anti-Qin coalition army or kill Hangu Pass to attack the mainland of the vassal states.

Early in the morning, when the sun was just hanging on the top of the eastern mountain, the Hangu guard Bai Qi quickly climbed to the top of the city, and yesterday he got the information that the anti-Qin alliance mobilized a large army, and today, it should be the time for this earth-shattering battle to begin.

"The enemy is coming! Express General! ”

As soon as he ran up the city wall, Bai Qi heard the garrison commander at the head of the city shouting urgently.

"Hold on, I'm coming!"

Bai Qi let out a low snort, and strode to the female wall of the arrow tower, raised his eyes with his hands on the pergola, frowned, and his face immediately darkened.

On the vast mountain plateau outside Hangu Pass, a thin line of blue-black is approaching, blue is the color of armor, black is the color of hair. In a moment, the blue-black thin line under the morning glow turned into a surging green tide, heavy thunder and rumbling to the ground, flags flying, iron horses vertical and horizontal, and horns were loud, and they were overwhelming.

"It's finally here. City crossbow troops ready! ”

Hu Yang smiled coldly and ordered sharply.

Woo!

On the tall wall of Hangu Pass, black bed crossbows were lifted by crossbowmen in crossbow carts, and one-man crossbow arrows were aimed at the enemy who was slowly advancing in the distance. Ten horns "Woo-! The sound suddenly resounded through the city. With the rapid and poignant horn, a stream of red light quickly enveloped the bed crossbow troops, and the crossbowmen and the crossbow cart attached a faint red light at the same time.

This horn also strengthens the attack and attack speed of the bed crossbow troops when it conveys the white order.

At this moment, the army in the distance had condensed into an endless expanse of cyan forest.

Suddenly, I heard the rumbling war drums sweeping across the field, and countless lights shrouded the Zhao army outside the pass, and there were three huge infantry phalanxes pushing cloud chariots, cloud ladders, wells, rushing carts, and dragon cannons and other siege equipment, and the angry clouds rolled towards this small Guancheng in the continuous mountains.

After the phalanx, three large banners hunt Shu rolls, and you can see the big banners written with the big Zhao character and the cheap character everywhere.

"Siege!"

At the sound of an order, Lian Po began to give the order to attack the city.

"Kill!"

With the overwhelming sound of killing, the 30,000 Zhao troops of the three infantry phalanxes rushed towards Hangu Pass with countless siege equipment.

"Great Qin! Let's go to the national disaster together! Bed crossbow troops, destroy the enemy's siege equipment! ”

With a loud shout, Bai Qi said.

This time, Bai Qi used the battle technique, and the scarlet red glow was as red as blood, shrouded in the arms of the crossbowmen and the arrows of the crossbow arrows of a person.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

For a while, thousands of arrows were fired at the wall, and the one-person-long crossbow arrows were like cannonballs, and they easily shot into the top Jinglan, Yunche and Dragon Cannon.

A dozen crossbow arrows are fine, but as soon as they are attacked too much, these siege equipment that stands out from the crowd will be shattered by the crossbow arrows and completely damaged. The bed crossbow troops, which had been given the bonus of the White Fighting Method, were extremely brave, and before they could get close to the city, most of the siege equipment was destroyed.

Boom!

The dragon cannon is a kind of Jinglan-like standout, much higher than the wall, and the top is a huge dragon head siege machine. When it got close to the city wall and entered its attack range, it heard a bang, and a huge crossbow arrow with an iron chain suddenly erupted from the dragon's mouth of the dragon cannon, and it hit the city with a bang.

Then there were constantly elite soldiers of the Zhao State wearing a suit of high-quality armor in the dragon's mouth through the iron chain and quickly slid towards the head of the city.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, Bai Qi rushed forward, and with a sword, he cut a Zhao elite soldier who slid towards the city into two pieces.

After killing this Zhao soldier, Bai Qi slashed another Zhao soldier who slid over with a sword, and then cut off the iron chain that connected the dragon cannon to the city with a sword.

Bai Qi could see the elite soldiers of Zhao who had slipped down to the city through the dragon cannon as nothing, but others couldn't, and many crossbowmen on the city were killed by these elite soldiers of Zhao who "fell from the sky". The crossbow arrows shot by the dragon cannon could not help but have the effect of transporting troops to the city, and also effectively destroyed many city crossbows on the city head and killed many Qin soldiers.

Lian Po proposed that the anti-Qin coalition troops attack Qin in three ways, and he himself did not think that he would be able to capture Hangu Pass in one battle, so the general of the Zhao army did not climb the wall through dragon artillery, but pressed the formation in the rear, and consumed the Qin army on the wall with a huge force.

The dragon artillery lost the troops, not relying on these people to take the city, but to disturb, just when the Qin soldiers on the wall were busy fighting with the elite soldiers of Zhao who were transported by the dragon artillery, one after another cloud ladders were erected on the head of the city of Hangu Pass, and countless Zhao soldiers began to ascend the city through the cloud ladders.

At the same time, the elite soldiers transported by the dragon cannon contained the bed crossbow troops of the Qin army, and the Jinglan troops of the Zhao army finally safely entered the attack range, and the archers on the Jinglan began to condescendingly shoot arrows at the Qin soldiers on the wall.

Seeing that the situation was about to enter Lian Po's control, Bai Qi made a move, and hundreds of boulders rose from the Hangu Pass, drew a parabola in the sky, and landed among the Zhao troops who were besieging the city.

The Jinglan and dragon artillery wagons that stood out from the crowd became quite conspicuous targets, and a small half of the siege equipment was smashed by these long-planned boulders. The boulder rolled into the Zhao army, causing huge casualties.

Hangu Pass is regarded as "the first pass in the world". The most fundamental reason is that this pass has never been breached head-on by any country.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the only one who captured Hangu Pass in the military battle was Wu Qi, the general of Wei State, but that was also the land west of the river first, and then forced the Qin army to withdraw from Hangu Pass. It was not captured by means of war.

At this time, although there were only 100,000 Qin troops in Hangu Pass, of which 50,000 were new soldiers, but Hangu Pass was so dangerous, and there was a general Bai Qi sitting in charge, and he could deal with it properly, and the 300,000 Zhao army could not be used, and the initial battle was unfavorable.

Hangu Pass is extremely dangerous, and it is really a husband and a man, but the main force of the anti-Qin coalition attack has already penetrated into the hinterland of Qin, and Lian Po is not obsessed with paying three or four times the casualties of the Qin army to capture Hangu Pass, so he also stationed outside Hangu Pass and waited and watched the situation.

The anti-Qin alliance troops were divided into three routes, one vanguard attacked Hangu Pass, the second main force penetrated deep into the hinterland of Qin, dragged the main force of the Qin army, and flanked Hangu Pass before and after, and the rear army of the third route pressed the formation, intercepting and killing the possible defeat and escape of the Qin army, and at the same time avoiding the Qin army from jumping over the wall in a hurry to attack the towns with empty troops of various countries.
