Chapter 81: Attacking Yiguan

Zhao Kuo and Wei Wuji are both people who know the general situation, and a little skirmish did not affect the relationship between Zhao and Wei, as for Han Jun, Quan should have watched a lively scene.

Under the city of Yiguan, dense soldiers carried ladders, pushed rushing carts, and rushed to Yiguan like death.

A dense rain of arrows poured down from above, and the pass was so narrow that the soldiers of the city had no place to dodge, and they kept falling to the ground with arrows.

But the rain of arrows could not stop the allied army's determination to attack the city, and the large clearing that had just been cleared was soon filled with new soldiers, and even the bravest soldiers had already carried the ladder to the bottom of the city, and began to climb up with large shields.

"Drop the rocks and push the ladder down!"

Si Li roared, brandishing the halberd and crushing forward, the halberd became smaller and larger, and then divided into three small halberds more than one meter long, and slammed into the soldier's body, and the violent energy swept around, shattering the flying arrows and clearing a large open space.

Si Li stood at the head of the city, slammed the halberd to the ground, and looked at the coalition army outside the city with a pair of tiger eyes, the blood was left from the tip of the halberd, full of bright red charm, and there was a momentum that could not be opened.

"If this continues, our army will not be able to capture the pass in another month." On the rear command platform, Wei Wuji looked at the soldiers who were constantly under the pass, and said with a sad face.

Historically, the Six Kingdoms attacked the Qin State, generally from Hangu Pass, and rarely from Yiguan.

It's not that they don't want to go through the pass, but because the danger of the pass is not below the Hangu Pass at all, and even the disgusting level is still above the Hangu Pass.

Its narrowest point is only eight meters wide, and even the pass is only a few dozen meters wide, and it is surrounded by endless mountains on both sides, and even catapults cannot be swinged.

Put 1,800 soldiers in the city at will, as long as you keep getting food, you just don't have to come to the army, after all, the place under the city is so big, and there are only so many people who can stand, you can't ride people!

And even if you win the Yiguan Pass, if you want to attack the Qin State, you have to cross another natural danger - the Yellow River.

The Yiguan and the Yellow River combined, are much more difficult to attack than the Hangu Pass.

Originally, Zhao Kuo also planned to attack Hangu Pass as the main thing, supplemented by Yiguan, but as a result, news came from Jin that the Qin army increased its troops by 20,000 to support Hangu Pass.

The young general who led the troops was called Wang Jian and was extremely brave. Jin Jian climbed to the top of the city at that time, but Wang Jian arrived just in time and united with Qiang to drive him back.

Wang Qian, the four famous generals of the Warring States, how could Zhao Kuo not have heard of it.

Although he is still very young, he is already quite famous in the Qin State and is deeply favored by the King of Qin and Wu Anjun.

With Wang Qian's support, the originally crumbling Hangu Pass suddenly became impregnable.

In desperation, Zhao Kuo could only change to attack Yiguan.

But how can Yiguan be so easy to fight, when the King of Qin returned to Xianyang, he specially left Sili and Juan to guard Yiguan, and the coalition army made no progress for several days.

"Bai Qi has withdrawn his troops from Shangdang, although there is my Zhao army behind to hold back the main force of the Qin army, but Bai Qi can send 10,000 or 20,000 people to support Yiguan first. If our army can't take Yiguan before reinforcements arrive, it is very likely that it will never be able to be taken again, do you have any way? Zhao Kuo asked in a deep voice.

The generals looked at me, and I looked at you, but they did not speak.

There are only those methods for siege, but none of them will work here in Yiguan.

"I have a way ......," Tian Dan said.

"What's the solution?" Everyone looked at Tian Dan.

"But...... It's a cruel ......"

Even with Tian Dan's ruthlessness, there is some hesitation when it comes to this.

"Ci is not in charge of the army, and the general is still afraid of cruelty? I didn't see you back then......" Storm Kite whispered.

But with Tian Dan's strength, even if his voice is small, he can hear it.

Tian Dan turned his head and glanced at the violent kite, who instantly felt his scalp tingling, and quickly closed his mouth.

"Stingy." Storm Kite muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend Tian Dan, although he was older than Tian Dan, but he knew that he was far from Tian Dan's opponent.

"Du Pingjun might as well talk about it first." Wei Wuji also said.

"Then I'll say it. The terrain of Yiguan is dangerous, the width of the city is only eight to fifteen meters, and even the pass is only twenty or thirty meters wide. As a result, even if there are only a few hundred soldiers in Yiguan, they can hold back tens of thousands of troops for a long time. This is the advantage of Yiguan, but this is also the disadvantage of Yiguan. ”

Tian Dan pointed to the Yiguan on the map and continued: "As long as we find a way to pile up the Yiguan Pass to the same height as the Yiguan, the advantage of Yiguan will no longer exist." ”

"Pile up the Yiguan as high as the Yiguan? How to pile up? "Wei Wuji rarely goes to the battlefield, and he is still a little puzzled.

Instead, the violent kite looked at Tian Dan with a frightened face, and muttered: "Ruthless! ”

"If it were other places, it wouldn't be easy, but the terrain was narrow, so it was much less difficult. Just send out death squads, each carrying a bag of dirt to the city, and then withdraw it. If we keep attacking day and night, we should be able to stand up to the end tomorrow. This is the fastest way to conquer the level, but a lot of people will die. Of course, if you guys have a better way, when I didn't say. ”

Tian Dan's bland words sounded in everyone's ears like thunder, and a cool breath rushed straight from the tail bone to the Tianling Gai, and the generals below shivered, looking at Tian Dan in extreme horror!

This is not taking human life as human life!

It turns out that this kind old man who wanders around the barracks every day and is happy to see everyone is actually more ruthless than everyone else!

Storm Kite and Wei Wuji glanced at each other, and they both saw from each other's pupils that they were deeply jealous of Tian Dan, and neither of them spoke.

It is undeniable that Tiandan's method is really good, as he said, as long as he is willing to fill it with human life, he will definitely be able to break through the barrier tomorrow.

The question is, where do these soldiers come from?

The Zhao army only had an army of 10,000 in Hanoi, and all of them were super elite or even military soul level cavalry, so it was impossible to do this kind of mission to the death.

Although there are 100,000 soldiers in South Korea, even if Hedong is defeated, it has nothing to do with South Korea, in this case, why should I send soldiers to die?

Then Wei Guo looked at it, good guys, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the co-authors of the two countries are not outstanding? Just let me Wei Guo go out alone, right? Then I won't come out.

After some arguing, Wei Wuji interrupted everyone and said, "Why don't we use prisoners." How about my Wei country send 10,000 prisoners, and your two countries give 5,000 each? ”

Wei had the most prisoners before, and naturally this time it was the most, and since it was a prisoner, there was no need to worry about it.

In these years, even civilians have no human rights, let alone prisoners.

"It's a good idea." Storm Kite nodded, he didn't care at all about the thousands of captives.

"Then let's do it." Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhao Kuo could only nod.
