At the same time, the main camp of the Yan Army was led by Yue Zheng.
The urgent letter from Sishui Pass has arrived here.
Looking at the messenger soldier kneeling below, Yue Zheng thought about it for a moment and then said:
"Ride your horse immediately and tell General Yan Yan that reinforcements will be sent to him immediately! Order him to hold on to Sishui Pass! Don't let the coalition forces advance even one step!"
"I have the order!" The soldier clasped his fists and left.
Inside the account, there are also generals of various levels on the left and right.
After the soldiers left, people thought that Yue Zheng would immediately issue a military order to mobilize a certain group of soldiers and horses to rush to Sishui Pass on a starry night, but after waiting for a long time, the latter had no intention of giving an order at all.
At this time, someone couldn't help it anymore, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Yue, the Sishui Pass is in danger. If you need support, you need to be quick as a soldier."
"When did I say that I would provide support?" Yue Zheng glanced at him.
The general was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Just now, didn't Commander Yue just say that he would ask the people to turn back to Sishui Pass and reinforcements would arrive soon."
"That's just a kind of comfort. It's meant to tell Yan Yan and the frontline soldiers that they are willing to fight." Yue Zheng made no secret of his thoughts.
"This..." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Alas!" Yue Zheng sighed again, then stood up and said quietly: "Even if reinforcements are received, Sishui Pass will still be lost. Since it is going to be lost, it should be more valuable."
"But this!" Another general was anxious: "Commander Yue, that is Sishui Pass. If it is lost, our army may be completely passive..."
"In a battle involving more than a million people, losing a city can determine the outcome?" Yue Zheng asked back, and then said: "Being passive or not is just a superficial phenomenon. If you want to retreat from the five kingdoms in this battle, you must first What we need to do is to lengthen the front, otherwise, the coalition forces will continue to flow in. With one against five, our country will be at a disadvantage in terms of national and military strength, so we must plan a war."
After hearing what he said, the generals looked at each other again, and someone said: "But Commander Yue, even so, the old general Yan Yan must not be ignored..."
"This commander has his own plan, so you don't have to worry."
Yue Zheng said something, walked to the sand table, and stared down.
On the sand table, various terrains are described in detail.
In front of the Sishui Pass, there are five small flags. On the city gate, there are the small flags of the Yan Army. Not far behind the pass, there is the imperial capital. Behind it, there is the main force of the Yan Army.
Of course, the mountains, rivers, and important roads are also depicted.
News of the reinforcements quickly reached the front lines in two or three days.
In Sishui Pass, after hearing what the soldiers said, Yan Yan immediately clenched his fist and said, "Okay! When my reinforcements arrive! I will definitely give the coalition a head-on blow!"
He was full of confidence, but he didn't know that Yue Zheng had no intention of supporting him at all.
When the other generals heard this, they were all shocked and felt that there was hope for their side!
In this way, the coalition forces fought for another three days. At this time, due to taking turns to fight without stopping in the middle, the strength of Yan Yan's troops had been severely reduced. The 100,000-strong army was now less than 30,000.
On the other side, the Allied camp.
Xiao Yuan also made another analysis on the battle at Sishui Pass. He said:
"According to the current battle situation, our allied forces have attacked ten times in succession. No reinforcements have arrived at Sishui Pass. Yan Yan's troops have suffered a serious loss of strength. At this point, the number of troops available to fight will never exceed 30,000."
"The king's intention is that we can no longer delay like this. Next, an army should work together to break through the barrier!"
As he spoke, he also glanced at the Four Kings.
No one responded, and they were somewhat worried. Who would fight? Of course this is a problem!
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan said again: "If you don't want to fight, the Qin army will fight! But I said before, if the Qin army breaks through, after the Yan is extinguished, I must take one more county!"
Hearing this, the four kings frowned slightly and immediately began to think deeply.
In the land of one county, the temptation is very great.
It is equivalent to giving you a city now.
Soon, some people were unwilling. King Liang said: "According to what Brother Qin Wang said, it is better for me, the Liang army, to break the barrier in one county!"
There are still 30,000 defenders at Sishui Pass. Breaking through this place requires a price.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled, looked at Prince Liang and said, "Brother Prince Liang, are you sure this is true?"
"Of course! The addition of one more county to the Sishui Pass is completely acceptable to me!" Prince Liang said without hesitation.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan nodded and looked at others: "Break the Sishui Pass and add one more county. Do you have any opinions? If anyone is willing, they can do it. If no one is willing, then the Qin army will fight. ."
What he said was undoubtedly the fairest. Others could not refute it at all. The Spirit King pondered for a moment and said: "Well, the war cannot be delayed any longer. Let's break the barrier quickly."
"That being the case, Liang Jun has accepted this allied military order!" King Liang said directly.
Cai Yan wanted to say something, but he moved the corners of his mouth but did not speak.
At this time, Wang Su, counselor of the Xuan Kingdom, approached King Xuan and whispered: "Your Majesty, Lord Qin is treacherous."
"Watch a show." King Xuan whispered, winking at him to signal him not to say any more.
After this discussion, Xiao Yuan, as the initiator of the allied forces, directly decided that the Liang army would conquer Sishui Pass.
After leaving the camp, Cai Yan immediately followed King Liang and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, why do you have to fight with King Qin?"
King Liang glanced at him and said as he walked: "It's not a question of whether we can fight for it or not, but the land of a county must be captured."
"This." Cai Yan paused and then said: "But there are still 30,000 defenders at Sishui Pass. The Yan Army's combat power is not weak. The closer the last moment, the more fierce the resistance will be."
"It doesn't matter." The King of Liang said: "In order to gain the county of Guangling, our Liang army fought bloody battles for many days, even at the expense of offending the state of Jin. Many soldiers spilled their blood on the battlefield. Now, if we break a pass, we can gain a county. Comparing the two, Cai Cai Do you think it’s worth it, sir?”
"This..." Cai Yan was also speechless.
Indeed, King Liang has King Liang’s thoughts.
After receiving the Allied military order, he launched an absolute storm on Sishui Pass the next day without saying a word.
Before the battle, he even issued a royal order to Xue Wu: "No matter what method is used! Within five days! I must break the Sishui Pass for me!"
The latter accepted the order and began to issue orders to the iron-blooded generals.
The Liang army launched a frenzied attack, while the Yan army resisted desperately. Both sides shed blood at the city gate. After three days of fierce fighting, Xue Wu lost more than 30,000 people. This shows that the battle was brutal, but he still had no intention of stopping.
Yan Yan's side was obviously unable to withstand it due to the strength of its troops.
At this moment, a secret order came from Yue Zheng.
