The entire city wall, from left to right, was full of soldiers climbing up.
The vertical shields formed a small range of shield arrays, blocking the random arrows from above and firing back at the same time.
There were shouts of death and howls everywhere.
The soldiers on both sides shed blood.
Stones were scattered at the base of the wall, mixed with blood, and some bodies were also pressed down.
The officers and soldiers of the Qin army were brave and good at fighting, and they did not risk their lives in the battle. At this time, the king was personally in charge, and their morale was high and they moved forward indomitably.
As the monarch of the Qin State, he founded the country and led the bitter old Qin people to rise step by step and become one of the great powers. Xiao Yuan was definitely a god-like existence in the minds of the Qin soldiers.
It is no exaggeration to say that being there is the best way to unite the morale of the military.
On the tall chariot, Xiao Yuan was wearing brocade clothes, hair tied with a jade hairpin, and the King of Qin sword hanging on his waist. He was observing the battle situation from a high position.
Su Yi was beside him, looking at the battle ahead, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, although our army has not yet conquered Wuxia Pass, judging from the overall battlefield situation, its momentum has already surpassed that of Huan's army."
"Tell Ning Zhan and Xu Rong! Continue the fierce attack and try to break Huan Jun's determination to defend the war!" Xiao Yuan said in a shocked voice.
"promise!"
This siege lasted for a whole day. The battlefield was so brutal and the Qin army was so ferocious that the Huan army had never experienced it before.
In this fierce battle, the Qin army directly exerted a powerful momentum and completely overwhelmed the opponent with an absolutely sharp offensive. This will play an extremely important role in breaking the barrier in the future.
In a tough battle, the Huan army would definitely not be able to defeat the Qin army, but with 70,000 troops, no matter what, they would not be able to lose Wuxia Pass in one day.
After the battle, looking at the Qin army evacuating outside the pass, many Huan soldiers loosened their grips, dropped their halberds, and leaned against the wall as if they were weak.
Xiang Ge also breathed a sigh of relief.
The deputy general next to him also had blood stains on his face and said with a grin: "Commander Xiang, looking at today's battle, the Qin army is really as brave as tigers and wolves. Their attacks are fierce and they fight without their lives, and their strength is several times that of our army. If this continues, the general will be afraid that it will be difficult to defend Wuxia Pass for a long time."
Xiang Ge glanced at him and said angrily: "You don't need to remind me of this. I have fought with the Qin army several times and know their fighting methods better than you. In today's battle, the King of Qin is personally in charge, and his army The combat power is obviously stronger than before."
"Then, Commander Xiang should make a good plan early so that the city gate can be defended." said the deputy general.
"There is no other good way now. We can only stand firm and wait for help." Xiang Ge said, and added: "In addition, change the defense immediately. The King of Qin has always been cunning in his use of troops. Beware of his night attack."
"This, yes." After hearing what he said, the deputy general showed a deep look of worry.
The coach had no choice but to think that he might not be able to hold on, let alone the soldiers below, after such a fierce battle.
On the other side, the Qin army camp.
After summing up after the battle, Xiao Yuan also looked at Xu Rong and praised without hesitation: "In today's battle, our army showed absolute momentum! Especially the soldiers of Xu Rong's department fought bloody and bravely and deserved to be commended."
Xu Rong was overjoyed to receive the king's praise. In excitement, he quickly clasped his fists and bent down: "With the king here, our army will be invincible and conquer all attacks!"
the next day.
The Qin army came to the city again.
Xiang Ge in the center of the city became nervous again.
But this time, before the war started, Xiao Yuan rode his horse to a stone's throw outside the city, reined in the reins, and shouted:
"Where is General Xiang Ge!"
Hearing the shout, Xiang Ge first looked around, then leaned forward a little, and said without confidence: "Qin, what does King Qin mean?"
"General Xiang Ge." Xiao Yuan said loudly: "You are also a famous general. You should know the military affairs! Today, I personally lead the royal army to kill Ni Huan. The iron hoof can level the mountains and rivers! How can I defy heaven and disobey orders with one step!"
Hearing this, Xiang Ge couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, King Qin! Our country, Huan, is not guilty, so why do you raise an army to attack me!"
"Unbridled!" Xiao Yuan was furious: "King Huan has no virtue! He hurts and abuses the people! He has caused trouble to the world because of the sins of the princes and his intention to harmonize the ghost clan! I have been ordered by the emperor to raise the king's army and defeat the rebels! Hope!"
Xiang Ge swallowed and didn't know what to say.
Xiao Yuan said again: "General Xiang Ge! Since you are a famous general, you should know that going against the will of heaven will bring about your own destruction! If you obey the destiny, you should turn your back and abandon your armor and lead your troops to surrender. I will protect you from losing your title. position!"
"Your Highness, there is no need to say more! Today, Xiang is here. If you want to cross the Wuxia Pass, you will definitely pay the price in blood!"
"Xiang Ge! Now you have to obey the destiny and obey the way of heaven. This is your only choice! Otherwise, it will be too late when the city is destroyed!" Xiao Yuan continued to shout: "Think about it! Think about yesterday's battle! Wuxia Pass! , it is impossible to stop our Qin army! Do you really want these tens of thousands of Huan army soldiers to be buried with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Qin soldiers behind him also began to wave their halberds in uniform movements and shouted in unison:
"drop!"
"drop!"
"drop!"
The shouts shook the sky and lasted for a long time.
When the soldiers of Huan Army at the gate of the city saw this, their Adam's apples slipped and they swallowed secretly.
Xiang Ge also looked nervous.
After a moment, Xiao Yuan raised his right hand, and the scene immediately became quiet.
He also shouted again: "General Xiang Ge, just go with the sky, it is a heroic act. Think about it! Think about these soldiers of yours! Their wives and children are waiting for them at home! Why do you need to let them go?" They died in vain! Think again of the unjust King Huan! The people of Huan have already complained! Is it worth dying for such a foolish king?"
Listening to these words, all Huan's soldiers fell silent.
When Xiang Ge saw this, he panicked and said, "Don't listen to King Qin's nonsense! We will definitely be able to defend Wuxia Pass!"
"Hahahaha!" Xiao Yuan looked up and smiled when he heard this, and said: "This is the end of my words, the general knows it!"
After saying that, he also pulled the reins and returned to the main formation.
Afterwards, the Qin army began to launch trebuchets and threw rolls of bamboo slips into the pass. Naturally, the bamboo slips contained some content to persuade them to surrender.
Picking up a volume casually, Xiang Ge finished reading it, his face turned ugly for a while.
The deputy general grinned secretly and said: "Shuai Xiang, this King of Qin is obviously trying to attack his heart. The morale of our army is not high to begin with. If this continues, there will be chaos..."
War has started at Wuxia Pass, and on the Huandu side, under the secret orders of Xiao Yuan, the spies lurking in the city have also begun to act, fanning the flames and spreading rumors everywhere.
Huanwang Palace, study room.
Minister Guo Kai bowed slightly, stood below with his head bowed, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you have heard about the Prime Minister's trip to Qin Camp."
"What's the matter?" King Huan asked casually.
Guo Kaidao: "After careful investigation, the prime minister stayed for several days after entering the Qin camp. During this period, he had banquets every day and had several long talks with the King of Qin. I also heard that the King of Qin valued him very much and praised him a lot. The Prime Minister even discussed state affairs with the King of Qin, and the discussion lasted all night..."
