Chapter 286: Siege Wei to save Zhao

The battle of the first vanguard was suspended, but the battle of the main force of the second road was extremely difficult.

The main force of the second route wanted to attack Wuguan by mountain roads, but was attacked by an endless stream of small mountain troops of the Qin army on the trails along the way.

Hidden arrows, falling rocks, traps, rolling stones, everything, and the Wuguan trail is not suitable for the march of large armies, the Qin army wreaked havoc on these roads, and many sections of the road were difficult for even the soldiers to pass, not to mention the siege equipment and grain and grass and other troops with extremely high demand for road conditions.

In order to solve the problem of the main army of the second route, Qi Huan Gong adopted Guan Zhong's strategy, on the one hand, he wantonly set fire to the mountain, so that the guerrilla troops of the Qin State would lose the guerrilla field, and at the same time opened the way for the march of the army, and on the other hand, he sent a vanguard army of 100,000 people to repair the roads damaged by the Qin army on the road, at least requiring that they could be used for catapults, grain and grass trucks, etc.

Tens of thousands of troops burned the mountain, 100,000 troops built roads, the natural dangers of nature were smoothed out by manpower, and the mountain road of Wuguan was wiped out after only a few days of delaying the main army of the second road, and the Duke of Qi Huan began to lead the army to attack Wuguan.

Wuguan is different from Hangu Pass, this is a high ground, and it is not suitable for building levels, so Wuguan is only a medium-sized level. The catapults of the main army of the second road attacked fiercely, and smashed the wall of Wuguan, and then the army advanced, and the bloody battle was a bloody battle, and the 50,000 Qin troops guarding the pass were killed 20,000, and the remaining 30,000 were defeated and fled back to the hinterland of Qin.

From the beginning of the anti-Qin alliance march to the fall of Wuguan, it was a total of six days.

After the capture of Wuguan, the vanguard of the Zhao army led by Lian Po still stood still, while the Duke of Qi Huan divided the 850,000 army of the second road into two, and Gongzi Xiong led the 200,000 Chu army from Wuguan to Hangu Pass, preparing to attack the 300,000 Qin army led by Bai Qi in Hangu Pass with the 300,000 Zhao army along the way.

The Duke of Qi Huan personally led an army of 650,000 to continue the march, and the front of the troops was directed at the 500,000 Qin Central Army led by Zhu Liji.

Although the Qin army had 500,000 troops, 100,000 of them were militiamen who had never been on the battlefield, were poorly equipped, and had low strength. The 650,000 army of Duke Huan of Qi also had the 50,000 Janissaries of Qi State.

Although Qin still had a rear army of 200,000 people under the command of Wang Qian, these 200,000 people were scattered in the cities of Qin, and Wang Jian actually only had 50,000 mobile troops under his command.

The only one with some strength is the 100,000 Qin forbidden army that finally sat in Xianyang City.

But the Qin State has 100,000 elite soldiers, and this time the Qi State alone has brought 50,000 elite soldiers, and each country has brought 20,000 to 5,000 elite soldiers, so that the number of elite soldiers of the anti-Qin coalition army is naturally far above the Qin army, and the Duke of Qi Huan is not afraid of Qin Mugong's 100,000 forbidden army at all.

With an absolute advantage in troops, Qi Huan Gong was not worried that he would lose this battle at all.

............ "Lord, the anti-Qin coalition army has crossed the Wuguan and confronted the main force of the Qin state, the Chinese army, when they fight, as long as we suddenly kill out from the rear of the anti-Qin coalition army, the enemy will definitely be defeated." ”

In a mountain forest in Hangu Pass, the face was full of worries and the word "Xiqishu" was against Qin Wudao.

The Western Beggar recognized Qin Wu as the main one, in order to follow Qin Wu to fight everywhere and create immortal achievements, but the Qin State was still the country he was born in, and the eleven countries of the Anti-Qin Alliance were attacking strongly, and seeing that the Qin State was in danger, the Western Begging was very anxious.

"Don't be in a hurry. The battle of millions of people, unlike the battle of thousands, tens of thousands, is already a group battle of regional castes. You go to attack the rear of the anti-Qin coalition army, but the other party is fighting with you in the army commanded by a general, where is there a rear? ”

Qin Wudao.

"Where...... You can't watch the Qin State being defeated by the anti-Qin coalition forces like this. ”

His face flushed, and Xi Qishu was obviously a little crazy, and shouted at Qin Wu.

"Duke Qi Huan is in battle to kill generals, using power for personal gain, with bad intentions, the anti-Qin alliance is not united, and there is mutual suspicion in the middle, how can it be possible to win the Qin State with one heart and one heart? If you are concerned, it will be chaotic, and the anti-Qin coalition army is not the opponent of the Qin army at all. ”

Qin Wu appeased Xi Qishudao.

"Lord, what does our army need to do now?"

Xiang Yu had been silently listening to the conversation between Qin Wu and Xi Qishu, and after Xi Qishu's mood had stabilized a little, he asked.

"Although the anti-Qin alliance will be defeated, we cannot sit back and wait for victory to come, so not only will our allies look down on us, but the people of the world will also think that our military army only dares to bully the weak and dare not fight against a strong enemy. The State of Qin has undoubtedly become the protagonist of this earth-shattering war, so we must rescue the State of Qin at a critical juncture, defeat the anti-Qin coalition army, and serve as another protagonist, rather than the supporting role that the world occasionally mentions when talking about the State of Qin. ”

Qin Wu said with a smile.

Hearing Qin Wu say this, the eyes of everyone in the simple tent lit up at once, and they all looked at Qin Wu.

"What is the lord going to do?"

Feng Quji, who had been thinking hard about how to crack it, asked with some curiosity.

"Do you know the allusion of Wei Wei saving Zhao?"

Qin Wu smiled lightly.

"What does the lord mean is that while the Qin State and the Anti-Qin Alliance are fighting here, we will sneak into the rear of various countries to steal the city?"

With a turn of his gaze, Xiang Yu's eyes lit up.

"Not bad. The strength of the two sides on this side is more than two million, and we have no more than 100,000 troops, and when we don't know which enemy army we are fighting, we will immediately be attacked by another enemy army in the back. Instead of staying here to help the Qin State, it is better to jump out and open up a new battlefield, so that the armies of various countries have to return to help, so as to achieve the effect of breaking the anti-Qin alliance. ”

Qin Wudao.

"What a clever plan, my lord! It's just that there are still 390,000 rear troops of the anti-Qin alliance blocking the road outside Hangu Pass, how should our army jump out of this battlefield? ”

Xiang Yu asked.

"This is very simple, as soon as the war on the front line is alarmed, Qi Huan Gong will definitely send the troops of the rear army to support, and then we will break through the blockade of the rear army of the anti-Qin alliance in one fell swoop. The top priority at the moment is to first defeat the anti-Qin alliance, so that they must put more troops into the main battlefield. ”

Qin Wudao.

Qin Wu discussed the strategy here, and he was ready to start marching.

Xiong Fang led 200,000 Chu troops, knowing that the road from Wuguan to Hangu Pass was densely covered with ambushes of the Qin army and the Wu army, so he marched very cautiously, learning from Qi Huan Gong to burn the mountains and forests all the way, and sent a large number of players and scouts to explore the way.

Knowing that the ambush could not be achieved, Qin Wu and the deputy general of the former army of the Qin State, the A-level famous general Gan Mao, simply stopped the ambush and killed directly from the mountains and forests on both sides of Hangu Pass.

On the Qin side, there are 150,000 regular Qin troops, 50,000 Qin national soldiers, 100,000 military troops, three A-level famous generals of Qin Wu, Gan Mao, and Xiang Yu, and nearly ten B-level names. On the Chu side, there is only one A-level commander on the bear side, and there are only a few B-level generals.

The road of Hangu Pass is narrow, the brave wins when the narrow road meets, under the charge of so many generals, the Chu army held on in the narrow road for a day, and then fought because of too much loss and morale, leaving a 10,000-strong team to break the back, Xiong Fang decisively retreated with the army, and camped in Wuguan.
