Huguan, the flag flying on the city wall, the guard Meng Cheng looked at the black pressure outside the city, and the overwhelming Western Qin army showed a worried face.

Bai Gou, the deputy general standing beside the general of Huguan, swallowed his saliva and said: "General, the last general has more than 100,000 rebels outside the city, can you hold it with just 20,000 troops at the pass?"

The guard Meng Chang sighed and said, "Do you know who the rebel general outside the city is?"

A look of confusion appeared on the face of the adjutant general Bai Gou, and he asked, "Please also ask the general to solve his doubts." ”

The guard Meng Cheng pointed to the banner of the word "Lin" outside the city, and said with a solemn face: "The surname Lin in the world, the most famous is the former champion Hou Linze, who can take the word "Lin" as the banner and lead an army of more than 100,000 people, there is no doubt that this person should be this person. ”

"In the past, the whole world was opposed, who didn't know that the champion Hou led the army to fight in all directions and quell the rebellion?

When the adjutant general Bai Gou heard this, he said worriedly: "General, what should we do then?"

Hearing this, the guard general Meng Cheng said with a solemn face: "The general has sent someone to Chang'an to ask Your Majesty for help, if it goes well, within five days, Your Majesty will be able to receive the news of the rebel Koubian." ”

"As for you and me, we were born in a powerful family, and our family has been bathed in the emperor's grace for generations, and we can only fight to the death to serve Your Majesty and the Qin State. ”

"This battle is not about winning or surviving, but about slowing down the rebels as much as possible, so as to give His Majesty and the ministers of the DPRK more time to react. ”

In the end, the guard general Meng Cheng looked at the deputy general Bai Gou with a sincere face: "Gou Zi, you and I grew up together, will you help me, right?"

The adjutant general Bai Gou held his head high and replied: "General, no, Brother Cheng, the younger brother will definitely be with him in life and death." ”

The guard Meng Cheng showed a look of relief on his face, nodded emphatically and said: "Okay, Gou Zi, you go in the customs to rest, I will guard on the city wall, and after nightfall, you and I will be on duty in shifts." ”

The deputy general Bai Gou bowed his hand and said, "Brother Cheng, the little brother will leave first." ”

......

Outside Huguan City, about a kilometer away from the city gate, Lin Ze suddenly raised his hand to signal the army to stop.

I only listened to the sound of footsteps that were originally uniform, and then disappeared.

Lin Ze looked at the Huguan city wall, pondered for a moment, and decisively ordered: "Zhang Han, you are alone in leading an army of 30,000 to guard in case the Qin army goes out of the city and attacks the camp." During the Yuzi period, you took other soldiers to camp on the spot, drilled wells to get water, and buried pots to make food. ”

When Zhang Han heard this, he asked with a puzzled face: "Lord Qiyu, our army has just arrived, and the morale is strong, why don't you go all out and capture Huguan?"

Lin Ze replied indifferently: "The soldiers have been marching for a few days, they are already exhausted, it is not suitable to attack the city at this time, they should rest for a few days, and then talk about the siege of the city when the soldiers have enough energy." ”

Zhang Han glanced back, the daily march was only eighty miles, and the soldiers with only slightly sweaty foreheads said with a hesitant expression: "Back to the lord of the country, looking at it from the end of the general, the army doesn't seem to be so tired, and it shouldn't be a problem to capture Huguan." ”

Lin Ze replied disappreciably: "No, you are wrong." ”

Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little anxious: "But ......"

"It's nothing," Lin Ze interrupted with a heavy face: "Rashly attacking the city, if you can't capture Huguan, but will lose your troops and lose your morale, can you take it?" ”

A touch of helplessness appeared on Zhang Han's face, and he bowed down and responded: "The last general will take the order." ”

Lin Ze looked at the direction in which Zhang Han left, his face was strange, and he began to suspect that being stupid would be contagious.

This chapter was a clever person before, and after being messing around with Li Xin for a long time, he actually began to make stupid mistakes.

Driving distracting thoughts out of his mind, Lin Ze waved his hand and beckoned a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu and asked, "Your family governor (Wu Fan) went out to inquire about the military situation, but there is no news so far?"

The Jinyi Wei Qianhu bowed down and replied: "Qiqi Lord, in order to ensure the smooth and accurate information this time, the Governor took away a large number of Jinyi Wei elites, and it is estimated that he will not return until the fast information channel is fully established." ”

"Before leaving, the governor had instructed his subordinates that if he reached Huguan, the lord of the kingdom would ask him about his movements, and he would say that he would come to join the lord of the kingdom before the time of the unitary. ”

Lin Ze let out a faint "um" and waved his hand to let Jinyi Wei Qianhu retreat.

This tripartite attack on Qin, Lin Ze had already made up his mind, and his allies would not move him.

If it weren't for hearing that Liu Ji's army was coming to Hangu Pass, Lin Ze would rather have the army walk back and forth on the road for ten days and half a month than be the first to fight with Qin.

Similarly, Lin Ze would rather stay outside Huguan City for ten days and half a month, and he would not be the first to break through the pass and go straight to the land of Guanzhong.

Even if it is a tentative siege, Lin Ze will not take the risk to do it, in case he doesn't control the rhythm well and easily captures the Huguan, how can he find an excuse to be sluggish?

Anyway, now belongs to the world of great contention, and Lin Ze, as a celestial, can't easily do it, so as not to lose his luck.

On the wall of Huguan, the guard Meng Cheng looked at the Western Qin army camped on the spot, first puzzled, and then sighed: "It really deserves to be the champion Hou, the march and battle are not leaky, and the other party is not given the slightest opportunity to take advantage of." ”

......

In the afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, and a figure was rapidly heading north, it was Wu Fan who was ordered by Lin Ze to go around to find out the news.

Regardless of the power of the grandmaster, Wu Fan rushed to the vicinity of Huguan in Shenshi.

When Wu Fan was still a hundred miles away from the camp, Lin Ze sensed his arrival, and without saying a word, he directly conjured out with a big hand and fished Wu Fan over from a hundred miles away.

Wu Fan only felt that the sky was spinning, and his eyes were dark and bright, and the whole person appeared in front of Lin Ze.

Knowing that it was Lin Ze who made a move, Wu Fan hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Lord Qiqi, this morning, the minister saw with his own eyes that Liu Ji's army, with the assistance of many Confucian Confucians, broke through Hangu Pass in one fell swoop. ”

The Qin general Meng Tian led the Qin army to fight to the death, and finally due to poor strength, he was seriously injured and captured, more than half of the 100,000 Qin troops were killed in battle, more than 30,000 were scattered, and more than 10,000 surrendered. ”

"Under the counterattack of the Qin army, Liu Ji's army suffered nearly thirty percent casualties. After Liu Ji captured Hangu Pass, he left only 5,000 soldiers to guard the prisoners, and immediately led 100,000 troops to Chang'an. ”

Lin Ze's face turned different when he heard this: "Liu Ji is a drug, why did he suddenly become so violent? Or will Confucianism do whatever it takes to seize the opportunity?"

Immediately, a sneer appeared on Lin Ze's face: "Confucianism really thinks that Emperor Qin is a soft persimmon, let it be handled, and I am not afraid of knocking out my teeth." ”

"Wu Fan, arrange for someone to continue to pay attention to the dynamics of Liu Ji's army, no matter whether there is any abnormality, report it once an hour, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Wu Fan responded: "No, the minister will arrange it." ”

After speaking, Wu Fan withdrew from the camp tent and passed on Lin Ze's orders layer by layer.

Lin Ze looked up at the sky and said to himself: "It's not early, so let's break through the Huguan Pass tomorrow and enter the pass." ”

......

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Lin Ze ordered Yu Ziqi to lead an army of 50,000 to prepare to attack the city, and Zhang Han led an army of 30,000 to respond.

After receiving the order, Zhang Han was inevitably depressed, knowing that Lin Ze was a little dissatisfied with his performance yesterday, so he handed over the task of attacking the city to Yu Ziqi.

"Knock Knock"

The loud war drums sounded, and 50,000 Western Qin soldiers quickly assembled and lined up in formation.

During the Yuzi period, 10,000 soldiers broke away from the army, the first three rows were covered with shields, and the back rows carried ladders, and under the cover of archers, they gradually approached the city wall.

At the moment when the drum sounded, Meng Cheng, the general of the Huguan guard, also sounded the alarm bell, and ordered the soldiers to release arrows, while asking people to prepare gold juice, logs, stones and other sharp weapons to defend the city.

The Huguan offensive and defensive battle is about to break out.

At this time, the deputy general Bai Gou heard the wind, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor, but just put on a robe, took dozens of personal soldiers, hurriedly went up to the city wall, and came to the side of the guard Meng Cheng, and said with a solemn face: "Brother Cheng, have the rebels attacked the city?"

The guard Meng Cheng saw Bai Gou's bloodshot eyes and hurriedly came over, feeling both moved and a little distressed.

In the end, he was ruthless, and said with a straight face: "Gou Zi, why did you come up now? You didn't sleep all night yesterday, hurry up and rest, and when my brother is tired, I still expect you to come to the top." ”

Bai Gou looked at the black pressure of the Western Qin soldiers outside the city, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Cheng, look at this posture, if the younger brother doesn't come, I will feel uneasy." ”

"The other party is the champion of Megatron, and with you and me alone, I'm afraid I won't even be able to stick to today. ”

Although what Bai Gou said was a bit demoralizing, but in fact, the guard Meng Cheng was powerless to refute it, but the matter had come to this point, but he could not be allowed to retreat.

I saw Meng Cheng with a resolute look on his face and said: "Gou Zi, it's useless to talk more, there is only one battle, and the old Qin people will never back down." ”

Bai Gou hesitated when he heard this, pulled Meng Cheng aside, and said in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, I heard that the champion Hou was originally a loyal minister, but because of his high merits, he was forced away by His Majesty Hu Hai. Today's saint is not His Majesty the First Emperor, but an outsider who is impersonating. ”

"Now that the champion Hou is coming, it may not be that he is coming to set things right, why don't you and I send someone to contact and ask about the intention?"

"If the Champion Hou is to expel the thieves who pretend to be the First Emperor and welcome His Majesty Hu Hai, you and I may be able to take refuge in him, first, to be loyal to the country in another way, and second, to save our lives. ”

Meng Cheng looked at Bai Gou with a shocked look on his face when he heard this, and couldn't suppress his anger and said, "Gou Zi, what nonsense are you talking about? A traitor is a traitor, how can he be a loyal minister?"

"Your Majesty the First Emperor, how can it be a thief impersonating? How can the head of the family and the elder of the clan allow the thief to ascend to the throne? How can the rumors released by the rebels be believed?"

As he spoke, a look of doubt appeared on Meng Cheng's face: "Gou Zi, you shouldn't be afraid of death and want to surrender to the traitor, right?"

When Bai Gou heard this, he seemed to have been greatly insulted, and said excitedly: "Brother Cheng, you and I have grown up together since childhood, how can the younger brother be a person who is afraid of death?"

Seeing that the suspicion on Meng Cheng's face did not decrease, Bai Gou pulled out the short sword at his waist and said angrily: "If Brother Cheng thinks that the younger brother is a person who is afraid of death, the younger brother will die in front of Brother Cheng to prove his innocence." ”

After Bai Gou finished speaking, he wiped it off his neck.

The suspicion on Meng Cheng's face suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly stepped forward, trying to snatch the short sword from Bai Gou's hand, while persuading: "Don't be excited, Gou Zi, brother doesn't believe you......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Bai Gou follow Meng Cheng's momentum of seizing the sword and inserted the short sword into the heart of his former good brother.

Meng Cheng was shocked, grabbed the short sword with both hands, and asked in disbelief, "Gou Zi, did you really vote for a traitor?"

Bai Gou burst into tears and said: "Brother Cheng, I'm sorry, I can't die, my son is only two years old, he can't lose his father." ”

Meng Cheng relied on a breath of true anger to hang his life, and said with difficulty: "How can you guarantee that the rebels will definitely let you go?"

Bai Gou wiped his tears and said in a low voice: "Because I am the person of the champion Hou." ”

A trace of relief appeared on Meng Cheng's face, who got the answer, and he could no longer suppress the fatal injury, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and fell to the ground and died.

Bai Gou looked at Meng Cheng's corpse blankly, his expression abrupt.

When a soldier next to him saw this scene, he immediately screamed, "General Meng was killed by General Bai." ”

This scream immediately woke Bai Gou from his distraction.

Bai Gou's face was ruthless, he pulled out his short sword, cut off Meng Cheng's head with a sword, and shouted: "Listen to the soldiers, Meng Cheng is dead, the general has taken refuge in the champion Hou, those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will die." ”

When Meng Cheng's personal soldiers saw this picture, their eyes were split, their faces were full of hatred, and they rushed to Bai Gou desperately, trying to kill this traitor and avenge their own master.

However, Bai Gou was not unprepared, and dozens of personal soldiers who had climbed the city wall with him quickly approached him, formed a team, and slaughtered the scattered Meng Cheng personal soldiers.

After solving Meng Cheng's own soldiers, Bai Gou took his own people and killed the Qin army defending the city.

The dragons had no leader, and they were attacked from front to back, and the Qin soldiers defending the city still had the slightest heart to resist, so they threw down their weapons and fled in all directions.

Seeing this, Lin Ze outside the city immediately ordered loudly: "During the Yuzi period, the inner city should have been successful, and the whole army will press on it and attack the city." ”

"No," Yu Ziqi replied loudly, holding Changge in his hand, leading the remaining 40,000 troops and rushing towards the city wall.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Ze rode his horse and slowly entered the gate through the city gate.
