It was a cold winter, and the north wind was calling, and the cold wind as sharp as a knife blade blew people's faces painfully, but no one felt cold.

In front of Hangu Pass, the army formation composed of chariots, cavalry, and foot soldiers rumbled forward from the side of the road, and the carts of oxen and horses loaded with grain and grass also creaked over the official roads and country roads, and countless scouts shuttled like birds on the south bank of Menshui.

The smoke and dust are filled, the flags are unfurled, the war horses are neighing, the horns are echoing, and the ground within a radius of four or five hundred miles is rumbling and thundering day and night, and the smell of choking earth wafts day and night.

In the middle of the day, a continuous stream of various military camps were set up on the Sanchuan Plain. This military camp can be called unprecedentedly vast, from the westernmost Mianchi Fortress to the easternmost Tiger Prison Pass, from the northernmost river to the southernmost Rushui, more than 300 miles from east to west, more than 400 miles from north to south, all the pass fortresses and other places where soldiers must fight, all stationed a large number of military camps.

As soon as the letter came out of Guguan, but I saw that the camp tents of the wild banners were stacked on top of each other, and it was difficult for ordinary military horses to fly through even with their wings.

If the Qin army detoured to Changhui Mountain again, it would only plunge headlong into the camp of the coalition army, and eventually be surrounded by the coalition army and strangled to death.

Pang Xuan stood on the chariot, looking at this huge scene, although the Japanese coalition army was unfavorable some time ago, but at this moment, all those troublesome things were forgotten.

"Great!"

Pang Xuan took a deep breath, but he was not nervous, but he wanted to suppress the blood in his heart.

He was already in his eighties, but he didn't want to see such a scene, and he would be as enthusiastic as those young people.

The commanders of the coalition forces, who had their own grievances before, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

With such a large army, if it can destroy Qin, no, as long as the Qin State is driven back to the grassland of the Western River Valley, the fertile land of Guanzhong, Qianli Hexi, and Shangyu for six hundred miles, as well as the land of Longxi County, Shangjun, and Beidi County where war horses gallop and gallop, they will all be theirs!

"Chun Shenjun, I'm tired."

Pang Xuan looked at Chun Shenjun on the side of the horse, and clenched his fists and signaled.

"My king is the commander of the alliance, and I am the head of the coalition army, so I should naturally shoulder the responsibility." Chun Shenjun smiled.

The Six-Nation Alliance, the world was shaken, and Pang Xuan, as the commander of the coalition army, took the initiative to hand over the attack on Hangu Pass to him, and he naturally accepted it gladly.

Of course, he also knew that Pang Xuan entrusted him with the heavy task of attacking Hangu Pass, and gave him this opportunity to be in the limelight because he was going to do another thing - smuggling Pu Han!

At the beginning, when Pang Xuan came to the palace of Chu to lobby with this plan, the king of Chu and he were shocked.

People tend to fall into a narrow circle, which makes it difficult to jump out.

Not to mention the conspiracy, since the founding of the Qin people, the people who attacked the Qin State have attacked Hangu Pass, or attacked Wuguan in the south, and no one has ever thought of other roads.

And after crossing Pu Hanjin, you can directly bypass Hangu Pass and directly attack the hinterland of Qin Guoguan!

Such a plan was earth-shattering, and Chun Shenjun had already imagined how surprised the Qin State would be when he learned that Pang Xuan led the army to capture the hinterland of the Qin State.

However, Chun Shenjun did not intend to let Pang Xuan monopolize this great achievement.

At his insistence, Pang Xuan's partial division not only consisted of 100,000 Zhao army iron cavalry, but also 100,000 foot soldiers of the Chu army, and 100,000 troops of Yan State.

Those who seek the country naturally have to take ten steps at a time.

If Qin is driven back to the west or perished in the future, Han and Wei have nothing to worry about, but Zhao will become a strong enemy of Chu.

Therefore, the Chu army must make the most contribution with the least casualties in this battle, so as to get the most benefits when the land is divided in the future.

The eyes of the Chu State are not only the Yanying, Shangyu, Qianzhong, and Hanzhong lost by the Chu State, but also the Lantian of Bashu and even the Qin State, all of which must be in the hands of the Chu State!

For Chun Shenjun's thoughts, Pang Xuan naturally knew.

But what does it have to do with him?

He was already old, and the life span of more than eighty years was an advanced age for these generals who had left many wounds on their bodies, and he didn't know how many years he would live.

He came out of the mountain just for a stage that could sway what he had learned in the past 80 years and display his ambitions, not for the hegemony of Zhao State.

After all, he is not from Zhao.

……

As a ray of warm morning sun shone on Hangu Pass, a thin golden-red line was approaching.

In a moment, the thin golden-red line under the morning glow turned into a surging red tide, the thunder rumbled to the ground, the flags flew over, and the sound of the horn resounded through the sky, and the allied soldiers were overwhelming.

As soon as the drums of war came, Wang Qi stepped on the city.

Next to the pale beard was an excited and bloodthirsty grin.

"Beat the drums!"

The sound of the war drums was not inferior to the sound of the horns in the distance, and the drummers of the Qin army beat the war drums as if they were competing.

At this time, the army in the distance had already condensed.

Suddenly, the rumbling war drums swept across the field, and there were three huge infantry phalanxes pushing cloud carts and carrying cloud ladders, and the angry clouds rolled towards this small fortress in the mountains. After the phalanx, the three sides of the big hunt and hunting Shu roll, Wei Wei and Han's three big characters were actually very clear in the city.

The word "Wei" was big, and Wang Qi smiled coldly: "A little Weiguo, can you even be the vanguard of the coalition army?" ”

Defending the country, if it weren't for the fact that the Qin people remembered that it was the home country of the Shang monarch, they would have been destroyed many times.

The Qin people not only did not destroy the guard, but treated it favorably, but they did not want to defend the country not only to the Wei state, but also participated in the joint expedition against Qin, and even took the initiative to ask for orders to attack Hangu Pass as the vanguard.

In that year, after Shang Ying recovered part of the land in Hexi and recaptured Hangu Pass, he personally presided over the repair and reconstruction of Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass was designed by Xianglizi and Shang Ying of that generation, except for the Guancheng, all of them were changed to brick and stone fortifications, and the walls of the Guancheng were stretched out for more than ten miles to the mountains on both sides, and it became a small Great Wall with the Guancheng as the axis.

On the small Great Wall, the female wall battlements are connected with the masonry city wall, and the arrow holes are dense but extremely strong; Every three feet, there is a neatly piled hill, full of coarse and smooth rolling logs and stones of various shapes and sizes; Every five zhang, there are strong crossbows fixed to huge wooden frames, and there is a stone house dedicated to storing strong crossbows and arrows on the side.

Between the hill and the stone house, there is a continuous weapon rack, but there is a war, in addition to the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, the weapon racks are also filled with all kinds of weapons, and there will never be a situation where the sword is curled and there is nowhere to change.

Under the city, there are also trebuchets that have been set up in advance, and stone bullets and fire oil are also stored in the arsenal under the city wall in advance.

At the top of the Great Wall at both ends, two beacon towers were also set up, but there was an enemy situation, and the lonely two pillars of wolf smoke reached the sky on the top of the mountain, even in the Lantian camp.

"In this way, let the guards experience how majestic the Hangu Pass designed by Shang Jun back then!" Immediately, Wang Qi gave a sharp order in a sneer, and a rain of arrows rushed towards the guards' military formation.

At this point, the largest battle in the Warring States World officially began.
