I’m The King Chapter 987: :Huanghuang Hanwei (111)
The battle in Hedong, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly broke out. Hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops rushed out of their nests and rushed towards Hangu Pass. 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, when Zhao Mu almost conquered Hangu Pass, these two places were taken first, but Changping and Yangfeng at that time The city has not yet been built, but two military strongholds have been set up. The fall of these two places opened up the flanks of Hangu Pass. With the efforts of Li Xin's two generals, Yangfeng City and Changping City rose from the ground and became a powerful barrier on the flanks of Hangu Pass.
If you want to go to Hangu, you must first go to Yangfeng City and Changping City.
Above the city wall of Hangu Pass, General Chong Guang of the Qin Army looked worriedly at Zhao Jun who was coming from a distance like locusts. Leaving the city and returning to Xianyang, it is said that a major incident happened in Xianyang. The eldest prince plotted to rebel and wanted to misbehave in Xianyang. General Li Xin followed the king's edict and led his army back to Xianyang to quell the rebellion. Although the general wanted to confuse the enemy , the Hangu Pass and Zuojin troops were dispatched in batches and arrived at the appointed place to concentrate, but obviously they did not hide from Zhao Jun's eyes and ears, the enemy came at the right time.
Chongguang is not the guard of Hangu Pass. He was the chief general of Changping City before. , although it is said that it is a big improvement, Zhongguang is not happy in his heart, because Zhao Jun has already attacked here just after he arrived, and he has not even recognized all the generals under his command. Very unfamiliar.
More importantly, there are only 3,000 soldiers of the Qin Army in Hangu Pass. The 3,000 Qin Army's commander is Ping or Yangfeng, which is more than enough, but to guard Hangu Pass, the strength is stretched. Chongguang couldn't figure out why General Li, who knows how to fight well, would not have thought that Zhao Jun would lead troops to attack. Even if it was just in case, he should leave at least 10,000 troops in Hangu Pass for defense.
With 3,000 people, he can only defend the wall. If there are 10,000 people, he can not only defend, but also attack at the right time. There will be a day when it will be breached.
"Has the messenger you sent out come back yet?" Chong Guang asked in a deep voice, staring at Zhao Jun who was getting closer and closer to the city.
"Returning to the general, the messenger was intercepted and killed by Zhao Jun's scouts outside, and he fled back with serious injuries. He only brought back a sentence from General Li."
"Say!"
"People are in the city, but the city is dead." The voice behind him was a little trembling.
Chongguang's body trembled slightly. From this sentence, he heard Li Xin's meaning. It seems that the situation in Xianyang City is far more serious than he imagined. Otherwise, General Li would never join Hangu. The pass was abandoned and ignored. The meaning of General Li's words is very clear, resist to the end and buy time. This reminded him of the battle where General Ying Teng died a few years ago, also at the head of Hangu Pass In order to buy time for Qin's grand strategy to be implemented, General Ying Teng was killed on the spot, and the king who led the reinforcements from Xianyang also suffered multiple injuries, but that battle completely reversed Qin's strategic situation and will The Xiongnu was almost wiped out from this continent, and since then, the Huns have never reappeared as a force, and have to rely on the Gaoyuan of the Han Kingdom to survive.
Now, it's my turn.
Chongguang didn't feel angry or sad about it. On the contrary, he just felt that the blood in his body boiled all of a sudden, and he could repeat what General Yingteng did back then. The glory of the general.
"General Li's military order is spread all over the city, the city is alive, the city is dead!" Chong Guang pulled out his waist saber, "Even if all the members died in battle at the Hangu Pass, they would never take a step back , Tell our soldiers that the heroes of the Great General Ying Teng are standing on the tower at this moment, watching us Qin Jun Erlang, don't fall into the face of the old general Ying Teng."
"Of order!" The voice from behind no longer trembled.
"The city is alive and the people are alive, the city is dead and the people are dead!" Following the loud call of the messengers, the repeated voices of the generals sounded at the head of Hangu Pass, gradually converging into a torrent, and the sound shook the sky. Every Qin Dynasty The passion of the army soldiers burst into excitement in the shouts.
"Correct the old Qin, defend our country, blood will not be shed, death will not stop!"
The battle song of the Qin army resounded above the city, lingering between the heaven and the earth, for a long time.
Under the banner of Zhao Guozhong's army, Jing Rufeng rode his horse and stood beside him, and Zhao Jin, governor of Hedong County, was also on the side, listening to the military song from the Hangu Pass in the distance, Jing Rufeng Rufeng's body trembled slightly, and he was crying.
"General Jing, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Jin was slightly surprised and asked.
Reaching out a hand to wipe away old tears, Jing Rufeng shook his head embarrassingly, "I'm old and fragile, after more than twenty years, I can finally fight back from Hangu Pass in an upright manner, how can I not I am very moved, thank God for giving me such an opportunity, I am almost seventy, if not for this opportunity, I think I will never be able to go back to my hometown Xianyang in my life, and take another look at the once familiar place Street."
"The general is sure that he can conquer Hangu Pass?" Zhao Jin is still a little skeptical.
Jing Rufeng smiled confidently, "Listen, this is the battle song of the Qin Army."
"I know, these years, my ears have sounded like cocoons." Zhao Jin said disapprovingly. How is the battle song unfamiliar.
"Listen again, feel it carefully." Jing Rufeng laughed and said, "See how the battle song this time is different from what you usually hear?"
Zhao Jin glanced at Jing Rufeng in surprise, listened carefully for a while, and felt a little bit in his heart, "There seems to be a lot of sadness in this song, but it lacks the indomitable momentum in the previous songs."
"That's right!" Jing Rufeng clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Guarantee Zhao is indeed a man who knows how to fight. At that time, they had a lot of thoughts of victory in their hearts, so there was an indomitable momentum in their singing, but today they have a strong city to rely on, but they still only see sadness and no thoughts of victory. What does this mean? What does it mean for them? There is a serious shortage of troops, so insufficient that even they themselves do not believe that they can defend Hangu Pass, so we will definitely be able to capture Hangu Pass, the difference is the length of time."
"Of course, the sooner the better!" Zhao Jin became more confident when Jing Rufeng said it, "One more day, there may be accidents. Thinking about it, I still sigh!"
"It depends on the fighting power of our sons!" Jing Rufeng said: "If I estimate correctly, there will be no more than 5,000 troops in the city. If I attack it with ten times the army, it will take three to five days later , as short as one or two days, Hangu Pass will be broken."
"Okay, after breaking through Hangu Pass, Zhao will definitely get drunk with General Jing in Hangu Pass." Zhao Jin said loudly.
"It's a deal!" Jing Rufeng laughed loudly, raised his arms, and shouted sharply: "Order the three armies to attack."
The sound of war drums shook the heavens and earth, Hangu Pass was up and down, flames soared into the sky, thick smoke covered the sky, and tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers rushed up, launching a fierce attack on Hangu Pass, which blocked their footsteps. The soldiers sang war songs and fought back bravely. On the city and below the city, feather arrows flew back and forth like locusts. His roar and his dying screams turned Hangu Pass into a Shura **** in an instant.
In the sky, the blazing sun gradually lost its temperature and turned into a plate of gold, which slowly fell, and the time of the day was fleeting in the endless fighting. Guan still stood proudly under the golden light, and with the sound of golden gongs retreating troops, Zhao Jun receded like a tide, revealing the siege equipment and countless corpses left behind.
On the top of the city, Chong Guang sat down weakly, the knife in his hand had already been rolled into teeth, like a saw, and the armor on his body was also broken everywhere, bloodstained, I don't know if it was the blood of the enemy or his own injuries, as soon as he sat down, almost I don’t want to stand up again.
"Look, general!" The soldiers who were sitting on the ground beside them were also exhausted and exclaimed suddenly. Two distances to the left and right of Hangu Pass, three thick smoke rose from the horizon and went straight to the clouds. night.
"Three beacons!" Chongguang lowered his head sadly. Changping City and Yangfeng City have already been lost. From now on, Hangu Pass will no longer have flank protection. The army has already come out.
Zhao Jin's face was very ugly in Zhao Jun's camp. The desperate fight during the day made him a little terrified. Although he has always been at the forefront of the battle, it was only the first time he actually went to the front line to witness this kind of killing , In the past, he was only responsible for raising food and grass for the soldiers in the rear.
"General, can we take down Hangu Pass?" He became a little unconfident again. During the day, the fighting power of the Qin army once again left a deep impression on him.
"Of course we can, we will break it tomorrow!" Jing Rufeng said with a relaxed attitude, "Although today is useless, it has severely damaged the defenders of Hangu Pass. , I’m sure of him too.”
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 bid farewell and left, Jing Rufeng walked out of his big tent, looked at the Hangu Pass between heaven and earth crouching like a monster under the water in the distance, he shook his head regretfully, Chongguang, a fierce general, but unfortunately, he is doomed to die in his own hands.
Sorry, we are all for the same goal! He whispered in his heart.
In order to make Zhao Jun 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. The purpose of their existence at Hangu Pass is to resist desperately until the end One person.(to be continued)
