The war in Hedong that had been calm for a long time suddenly broke out, and 100,000 Zhao troops came out in full swing towards Hangu Pass. Jing Rufeng turned against the past cautious style and divided the troops into three groups. He led the main force to attack Hangu Pass. Zhao Xilie attacked Changping City, while Li Mingjun attacked Yangfeng City.

Changping and Yangfeng are the two wings of Hangu Pass. A few years ago, Zhao Mu almost conquered Hangu Pass. The first two places were captured. However, Changping and Yangfeng had not yet built a city, but had two military camps. The flanks of Hangu Pass were opened because of the loss of these two places. After the war, the Qin people began to station in the city. After the efforts of Wang Xiao and Li Xin, Yangfeng City and Changping City rose flat on the ground and became a powerful barrier to the flanks of Hangu Pass.

If you want to go down to Hangu, you must first go down to Yangfeng City and Changping City

On the wall of Hangu Pass, the Qin general Chongguang looked at the Zhao army that was swept away like locusts in the distance. The enemy came too coincidental. Just a few days ago, General Li Xin suddenly led the main force to leave the city and return to Xianyang. It is said that something big happened in Xianyang. The prince planned to rebel and wanted to be ill in Xianyang. General Li Xin led his army back to Xianyang according to the emperor's order. Although the general took Hangu Pass and the nearby army to confuse the enemy, he adopted the strategy of setting up a batch to conquer the agreed location, but obviously did not hide the eyes and ears of the Zhao army. The enemy came at the right time.

Chongguang was not the garrison of Hangu Pass. He was the chief general of Changping City before. Before General Li left, he suddenly transferred him to Hangu Pass as the chief general of Hangu Pass. Although it was a big step forward, Chongguang was not happy because he had just arrived and the Zhao army had already attacked here. He had not even recognized all his generals and was very unfamiliar with the city defense of Hangu Pass.

More importantly, now, there are only three thousand Qin soldiers in Hangu Guanzhong, 3000 Qin soldiers, or 3000 Qin soldiers, which is more than enough, but if they are used to guard Hangu Pass, the troops are too short. Chongguang can't figure out why General Li, who knows and is good at soldiers, would not expect that Zhao's generals will lead troops to attack. Even if it is just in case, they should leave at least 10,000 troops in Hangu Guanzhong to defend.

He can only defend the walls with three thousand people. If there are ten thousand people, he can not only defend, but also attack in time, attacking and defending. This is the way to defend the city. If he blindly defends, he will eventually be breached.

"Have the messenger sent out returned?" Chongguang asked in a deep voice as he stared at Zhao Jun who was getting closer and closer to the city.

"When the general was returned, the messenger was intercepted by the scout of the Zhao army outside. He escaped with serious injuries and only brought back General Li's words."

"explain!"

The voice behind him was trembling with a trembling voice: "The city is dead, the city is dead."

Chongguang's body shook slightly. From this sentence, he heard what Li Xin meant. It seemed that the situation in Xianyang City was far more serious than he had imagined. Otherwise, General Li would never have abandoned Hangu Pass and ignored General Li's words. The meaning of this sentence was very clear. Resist to the end and gained time reminded him of the battle where General Ying Teng died in battle several years ago, which was also at the head of Hangu Pass. In order to gain time, the grand strategy of Qin was implemented, General Ying Teng died on the spot. The king who arrived from Xianyang led reinforcements was also injured. However, that battle completely reversed the strategic situation of Qin and wiped the Huns almost from this continent. Since then, the Huns have never reappeared as a force and had to rely on the lofty nature of the Han Kingdom to survive.

Now, it's my turn

Chongguang was not angry or sad about this. He wanted to rebel. He only felt that his blood suddenly boiled, and he could repeat what General Ying Teng had done back then again. This was the honor of being a general of the Qin army.

"The orders of General Li's military were passed all over the city. The city was there, and the city was dead!" Chongguang pulled out his sword with a choke, "Even if all the members died in the battle at Hangu, they would never take a step back and tell our soldiers that the heroes of General Ying Teng were standing on the city tower at this moment, staring at our Qin army, don't fall into the face of the old general Ying."

"As for order!" The sound coming from behind no longer trembled

"The city is there, the city is dead, and the city is dead!" With the loud shouts of the messenger, the voices of repeated generals sounded at the head of Hangu Pass, gradually gathering into a torrent, and the sound shook the clouds and night. The passion of each Qin soldier burst into excitement in the shouts of shouts.

"I will retaliate against Lao Qin, protect my rivers and mountains, and my blood will not flow dry, and I will never stop fighting!"

The Qin army's war song sounded above the city, lingering between the heaven and earth, and lasting for a long time

Under the banner of the Zhao State Central Army, Jing Rufeng stood on his horse. Beside him, Zhao Jin, the governor of Hedong County, also followed him. Listening to the military songs coming from the city of Hangu Pass in the distance, Jing Rufeng's body trembled slightly, and tears were everywhere.

"General Jing, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Jin was a little surprised and asked.

He reached out and wiped his tears. Jing Rufeng shook his head embarrassedly, "I'm old and fragile. After more than 20 years, I can finally get back from Hanguguan with a dignified look. How can I not be very moved? Thank God for giving me such an opportunity. I am almost seventy years old. If it weren't for this opportunity, I think I will never be able to return to my hometown Xianyang in my life and take a look at the once familiar streets there."

"The general is sure to conquer Hangu Pass." Zhao Jin is still somewhat suspicious until now.

Jing Rufeng smiled confidently, "Listen, this is the battle song of the Qin army."

"I know, my ears have sounded calloused over the years." Zhao Jin said disapprovingly. His fiefdom was compared with the Qin people, and he had to fight with the Qin people every now and then. How was the Qin people's war song unfamiliar with the Qin people's war songs?

"Listen again, feel it carefully." Jing Rufeng laughed and said, "Look at how different the battle songs this time are from what you usually hear?"

Zhao Jin looked at Jing Rufeng in surprise, listened carefully for a while, and felt a little in his heart, "There seems to be a lot of tragic atmosphere in this song, but the momentum of moving forward in the past is less."

"By the way!" Jing Rufeng clapped his hands and laughed, "The Zhao County Governor is indeed a man of knowing the military. The Qin army is powerful. In recent years, we have faced our Zhao army with less losses and more victory. Therefore, when they sang war songs, they had the idea of ​​winning. Therefore, they had a momentum of moving forward in the song. But today they have a strong city to rely on, but they still only see tragic and heroic, but have no idea of ​​victory. What does this mean that their troops are seriously insufficient, so they themselves do not believe that they can defend Hangu Pass. Therefore, we will definitely capture Hangu Pass. The difference is just the length of time."

"Of course, the faster the better!" Zhao Jin was immediately confident when Jing Rufeng said, "If you delay for one more day, you may have a change. General Zhao failed in his efforts back then, but today I always think about it, and still sigh with regret!"

"It depends on the combat effectiveness of our children!" Jing Rufeng said: "If I guess it is good, the strength of the city will not exceed 5,000. I will attack it with a tenfold army. It will be three or five days later, and one or two days later. It will be broken Hangu Pass."

"Okay, after breaking Hangu Pass, Zhao must be drunk with General Jing in Hangu Pass until he stops." Zhao Jin said loudly.

"A word is determined!" Jing Rufeng laughed, raised his arms, and shouted sternly: "Tell the three armies to attack."

The sound of war drums shocked the earth, and the flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke covered the sun. Tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers rushed up and launched a fierce attack towards Hangu Pass, which blocked their footsteps. On the city, Qin soldiers sang war songs and fought bravely. On the city, feather arrows came and went like locusts, the buzzing sound of feather arrows, the whistling of crossbows, the dull sound of stone cannons thrown by the catapult, the roars of soldiers when fighting, and the screams of dying made Hangu Pass instantly turn into Shura hell

In the sky, the hot sun gradually lost its temperature and turned into a plate of gold, slowly falling. The day passed in an endless battle. There were corpses accumulated on the city, but Hangu Pass still stood proudly under the golden light. With the sound of golden gongs that stopped the troops, the Zhao army retreated like a tide, revealing the remaining siege equipment and countless corpses.

Above the city, Chongguang sat down weakly. The knife in his hand had already rolled up its teeth, like a saw, and the armor was broken everywhere, with blood stains. I don’t know if it was the enemy’s blood or my own injuries, but once I sat down, I almost didn’t want to stand up again.

"General, look!" The soldiers beside him who were also so tired that they sat on the ground suddenly exclaimed. In the two far away areas of Hangu Pass, three thick smoke rose from the horizon and went straight to Yunxiao.

"Three rays of wolf smoke!" Chongguang lowered his head sadly. Changping City and Yangfeng City have been lost. From now on, Hangu Pass will no longer have any flanking cover. It seems that the 100,000 troops of the Zhao army's Hedong camp have been fully out.

Zhao Jin's face was very ugly. His fighting during the day made him feel a little scared. Although he was always at the forefront of the war, it was only the first time he had truly gone to the front line to witness such killing. In the past, he was only responsible for raising food and grass for the soldiers in the front line.

"General, can we conquer Hangu Pass?" He became a little unconfident again. During the day, the Qin army's combat effectiveness once again left a profound impression on him.

"Of course, I will break it tomorrow!" Jing Rufeng was leisurely in his mood. "Although he was useless today, he had severely damaged the Hangu Pass defenders. I carefully observed that the maximum number of defenders in the pass was only 3,000. Even if it was Duizi, I could still take it."

Zhao Jin let out a long breath, Jing Rufeng said it very easily, but this ease means that tens of thousands of lives will no longer exist.

Zhao Jin said goodbye and left. Jing Rufeng walked out of his tent. Looking at Hangu Pass lying on the ground like a monster under the water light in the distance, he shook his head regretfully. Heavy light is also a powerful general. It's a pity that he is destined to die in his own hands.

Sorry, we are all for the same goal! He whispered in his heart

In order to completely make the Zhao army no longer doubt the correctness of this attack, Chongguang and the three thousand Qin soldiers guarding the city must be the bait thrown by Li Xin. Their purpose of existence at Hangu Pass was to resist to the death until the last person (to be continued) r580
