The next day.
The Qin army's camp and the Chinese army's tent.
All the generals gathered together, all dressed in armor, with cloaks on their backs and swords hanging on their waists, arranged on both sides.
Xiao Yuan first proposed Huan Guo's three current actions and said:
"Huan's only 70,000-strong army at Wuxia Pass is nothing to worry about. The strategy implemented by King Huan to capture the young men is nothing to worry about. Even if these young men are forcibly pushed to the battlefield, they are nothing more than a rabble. , have no military training at all, and do not have the combat qualities that a regular army should have. Therefore, as long as Xiang Ge and others are eliminated, the Huan Kingdom can be defeated."
"Secondly, Zhu Hui moved 100,000 prisoners, which is bad news for us. Now we can only order Zhou Ce to stick to Anyang and no longer use it to march."
"In addition, although the Xuan Army has been active frequently and successfully involved most of the Ling Army, if the Ling King sends out a surprise force to cut into our rear line, the battle situation will turn sharply. Therefore, on the rear supply line, , our army still needs to build a garrison force, in this regard, Zhao Mu is responsible for guarding against detours by small groups of Lingjun troops."
"No!" The latter accepted the order with his fists clasped.
Xiao Yuan added: "To sum up the above plan, the battle to destroy Huan depends on the gains and losses at Wuxia Pass. Our army must destroy Xiang Ge's entire army within two months and fully enter the Huan Kingdom. By then, our cavalry will It can gallop vertically and horizontally, sweep across Huandi, and be invincible."
The Qin State's cavalry are very powerful. If they enter the pass, it is completely conceivable that they will be flooded like a tide.
After hearing this, all the generals nodded, their faces full of excitement.
Later, Su Yi stood up and said: "Huan Jun's fighting spirit and combat effectiveness are not high. I suggest that while attacking by force, adopt a heart attack strategy to further undermine Huan Jun's confidence in fighting."
This method is good, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Jia You also stood up and said: "In the battle at Wuxia Pass, I believe that a strong attack is not the only way. If there is chaos within the Huan Kingdom, the front line will be defeated without a fight, and its commander Xiang Ge should be If you don't have enough confidence, I am willing to go to the pass to represent the king. Rather than knowing the benefits and disadvantages, even if I can't succeed, I will try to shake his confidence again."
He was willing to lobby Xiang Ge, but after hearing this, Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and decisively refused: "No, this risk is too great."
Seeing this, Jia You said sternly: "Your Majesty, there is an ancient practice. When two armies are fighting, it is not necessary to kill the envoy. Before attacking, it is also very necessary to persuade the opponent's commander."
But Xiao Yuan still shook his head: "No, let's follow Su Yi's combat philosophy."
After all, he just didn't want Jia You to take this risk. Wuxia Pass was right in front of him, and the 300,000 Qin troops could capture it. If there was an accident and one of his counselors was killed, it would be too much of a loss.
"Here, as ordered." Jia You had no choice but to retreat.
Then, Xiao Yuan looked around again and said in a loud voice:
"Every unit will immediately go down and prepare to attack Wuxia Pass. In the first battle, we should use a ferocious offensive to overwhelm the Huan army! We must beat them to the point of fear! Only then can the subsequent attack on the heart be more effective!"
"I have the order!" All the generals clasped their fists together.
The next morning, outside Wuxia Pass.
The ground began to tremble.
The sound of neat marching troops.
The black phalanx gradually approached.
A general shouted loudly, and all the Qin army officers stopped in unison, sheathed their halberds and smashed their heavy shields to the ground with uniform movements, and the scene instantly returned to tranquility.
Black armor and red tassels cover the sky and the earth.
The flag flutters in the wind.
Under the powerful military power, a murderous aura filled the whole place.
Xiang Ge was located in the center of the city. Looking at the Qin army outside the pass, he couldn't help but swallowed: "The King of Qin is about to attack the city..."
The faces of the left and right generals were not very good-looking, and the soldiers on the city defense subconsciously tightened their halberds, their palms full of sweat.
When it comes to the ferocity of fighting, no one in the world can compare with the bitter and cold Qin.
After King Xiao Yuan of Qin led his army out of the customs, he participated in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains and annexed other countries. The reputation of the Tiger and Wolf Division has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
This is a shock from the outside to the inside.
The army came to the city, and large numbers of soldiers began to run forward and placed each quiver on the ground.
"Sit down -" a general shouted.
Wow! Wow!
The sound of armor scraping together sounded neatly. The Qin army was well-trained and had participated in too many wars. Almost instantly, the first few rows fell short and began to sit on the ground and kick crossbows.
"Arrow array preparation——"
There was the sound of armor clattering again, and after the crossbows were fired, countless soldiers of the Qin army were bent with bows and arrows, pointing diagonally at the sky.
"put--"
The flag is waved.
With a buzzing sound, the bowstring tightened, and countless arrows shot out, seeming to tear the air apart!
The dense black spots gathered together, like a black cloud, rushing upwards, covering the sun in the sky, sweeping down, and fiercely covering the city gate!
Plop, plop!
The sound of arrows entering flesh instantly became one, mixed with one after another miserable howls.
Under the terrifying array of arrows, the crackling sound never stopped. Some arrows shot through the city gate, penetrated doors and windows, shattered tiles, and penetrated objects. The tails of the arrows were still trembling...
this is too scary! There was no place for anyone to stand. Xiang Ge and other Huan generals had already fled with their heads in their hands.
Imperial history books record: The King of Qin led his army to attack the pass. Every time he entered a place, he would use arrow arrays to wreak havoc in advance to detect the strength of the enemy's army...
After the arrow formation, there was no one at the city gate. Xiao Yuan stood on the high chariot and directly drew the King of Qin Sword: "Attack the city——"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The exciting war drums sounded, and the siege weapons, one after another, were slowly pushed forward by the combined efforts of all the soldiers.
The generals of all the ministries had already drawn their swords and pointed forward fiercely: "Charge--"
There were shouts of killing everywhere, and several square formations began to flow towards the city gate like a tide. Countless ladders were carried by groups of soldiers and moved quickly among the crowd.
At the corner of the city where the arrow formation was hiding, the deputy general of the Huan army ran over quickly and said in a trembling voice: "Shuai Xiang, the Qin army has begun to attack!"
"Ah!?" Xiang Ge was shocked. He stood up in a hurry while holding his tilted helmet, and screamed: "Quick! Hold on! Defend the city! Don't let the Qin army attack the city!"
"Quick! Quick!"
He kept waving his hands and commanding, and under his orders, large numbers of Huan's soldiers began to run quickly to various parts of the city defense.
"Fight back! Fight back quickly——"
Shouting in panic, many Huan soldiers were also panicked. They began to load their bows with arrows, leaned out and started shooting at random at the bottom of the city.
The battle broke out suddenly, and ladders were quickly erected all over the city wall. The infantry of the Qin army began to climb crazily with swords in their mouths and using their hands and feet.
Arrows from both sides were fired back and forth in the sky. From time to time, someone was hit by stray arrows, fell to the ground with a scream, or fell off the city wall.
Falling rocks and rolling trees were also lifted high and smashed down hard.
The huge siege vehicle, protected by heavy shields around it, slowly pushed to the city gate, began to hang thick and sharp wooden stakes, and violently impacted again and again.
