"Your Majesty the Grand Administrator ordered General Guan Kui to convey to all the officers and men."
"The success or failure of this battle depends entirely on whether our Qin army soldiers can insist on holding Xiping Pass. The important task here is related to the survival of Qin. The lives of millions of compatriots are also the focus of all soldiers and civilians. At this time, the enemy's rear area The main force of our army is being surrounded from all sides. The general will live up to the trust of his officers and the expectations of the people of Qin..."
Inside Xiping Pass, Guan Kui was wearing a general's armor, a cape on his back, and a sword hanging on his waist. He was located directly in front of the crowd, and another civil servant was reading Xiao Yuan's instructions loudly.
Below, there are countless soldiers of the Qin army, all with straight waists, black armor and red tassels, and numerous halberds. Their military appearance looks horizontally and diagonally.
People listened quietly.
After he finished reciting, Guan Kui also took two steps back and forth in front. While scanning the soldiers, he said in a loud voice: "Did you hear everything clearly?"
"This is a letter written by the Grand Administrator!"
"Now, the main force of our army has defeated Xirong on the front line!"
"The enemy is in a desperate situation and has nowhere to escape. Under forced circumstances, they attempt to attack our Xiping Pass!"
"We are guarding millions of people in Qin! Among them are our parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters!"
"Once Xirong is allowed to break through, our compatriots will be massacred! There is no need to say more about the responsibilities of our soldiers!"
"Now, this general wants to ask you if you are willing to fight!"
"Yes!!!" All the soldiers shouted in unison.
"Okay!" Guan Kui said again: "I know that you are all new soldiers, but just because you are new soldiers! It is even more important for the prefect to see that our new army can also go to the battlefield! We can also defeat Xirong on the battlefield! "
Guan Kui shouted loudly, and under the advice of civilian officials, he mobilized the soldiers in the pass to mobilize before the war.
Under such circumstances, 40,000 new troops, with high morale, were ready to give Xirong the final fatal blow.
The next morning, Xianda led 30,000 Xirong troops to the city.
At this time, he had already ordered his soldiers to cut trees overnight and rushed to build more than a dozen ladders.
But this army was running around on the run and had no supplies of food and grass. It had no morale at all.
But Xianda understood that if Xiping Pass was not breached, all of them would die!
Therefore, he had no choice. After arriving here, he immediately ordered the entire army to launch a strong attack.
The Xirong soldiers below didn't want to attack the city, but after the military order was issued, the people had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush towards Xipingguan.
Looking from above, the plain outside the city gate was filled with dust. Countless Xirong soldiers were swarming in without any formation. There were also groups of soldiers carrying ladders and rushing towards the city gate.
Before they could get closer, after reaching a certain distance, Guan Kui in the center of the city waved his hand and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
Following his order, for a moment, arrows rained down from the top of the city. As the Xirong soldiers rushed forward, someone was shot to the ground from time to time, letting out a shrill howl. At the same time, they also began to draw their bows. He loaded his arrow and fired back at the city.
Arrows from both sides shuttled back and forth in the sky. Naturally, some Qin troops were hit by stray arrows and fell off the city wall screaming.
Not long after, the Xirong soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city despite the rain of arrows. Immediately afterwards, a series of ladders were erected to various parts of the city wall.
The Xirong soldiers began to climb crazily.
On the city wall, the Qin army was strictly guarded. Many soldiers raised stones with their hands high and threw them at the Xirong soldiers who were climbing up.
Once a boulder falls, it often brings down a large area.
There were also soldiers of the Qin Army who had just lifted the stone, but were hit by stray arrows and fell to the ground with howls. Then they were dragged to a safe place by their comrades behind them, and another soldier stood on top of them.
This scene happens every moment.
"Don't panic! Once the enemy shows up, stab him to death with the weapon in your hand!"
"Fight! Defeat them!"
Guan Kui ran back and forth on the city wall, commanding the battle, and also used his sword to kill the Xirong soldiers who had just appeared.
The Qin army at Xipingguan has a total of 40,000 people, and they only need to hold on to these dozen ladders.
The war continued, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The howling never stopped.
Xirong went forward one after another. One group fell, and another group came up. I don't know how many people died in the battle.
Two hours passed like this, and when it was approaching noon, Xirong finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Under the city wall, corpses were piled up, blood flowed into rivers, rolling stones were smashed everywhere, and carved feathers were stuck all over the ground.
After throwing corpses on the ground, the Xirong army began to recede like a tide.
At this time, Xianda was watching the battle from behind. You should know that he did not give the order to withdraw his troops.
When the deputy general came back, he also glared angrily and asked sternly: "Who told you to stop attacking the city!?"
"General." The deputy general said sadly: "Xiping Pass is heavily fortified. If we don't withdraw our troops and cannot attack the city pass, I'm afraid all our warriors will die..."
"That's unreasonable! You dare to withdraw your troops without permission even though I didn't give the order! What crime should you be punished for!"
"General, the soldiers can't attack anymore..."
"Go away!" Xianda was furious, and then he quickly stepped forward, kicked a Xirong soldier, and shouted angrily: "Get up! Get out of here! Continue to attack the city!"
Because at this moment, after Xirong withdrew, almost everyone was lying on the ground with their arms and flags scattered on the ground.
The Xirong soldier was kicked twice, but he had no strength to stand up at all. Instead, he began to plead: "General, it is impossible for us to capture Xiping Pass..."
"What did you say!?" Xianda simply wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. How could the Xirong soldiers dare to speak like this before?
But now, the morale of the army has long been in chaos. People are running around with him, getting beaten here and there, running around with no food and grass. In a desperate situation, it is already very good to be able to persist until now and not be disbanded. .
Before the Xirong soldier could answer, someone else begged:
"General, we really have no strength..."
"General, please let us go..."
Listening to the pleadings of the Xirong soldiers around him, Xian Da suddenly widened his eyes and showed an incredible expression.
He first looked around and saw that everyone was lying on the ground unwilling to move. Then, anger arose in his heart, and he drew out his machete, pointed it at one of the soldiers, and slashed it with the sword. He shouted loudly:
"Get out of here, everyone! Continue to attack the city!"
Blood spurted out, and the soldier's head was cut off by the knife.
When the other soldiers from the Western Army saw this, they all turned pale with fright and immediately panicked.
"General, spare your life..." Another Xirong soldier screamed.
But before he could finish his words, Xian Da had already swung the knife fiercely at him again.
