"Command brothers, rest where you are for half a stick of incense, eat some whole grains, and replenish your strength."
Under a towering cliff, five thousand Qin soldiers were crawling against the cliff.
Five thousand Qin soldiers, led by Bai Qi, shuttled across the plank road for a day and night, and finally walked down the dangerous plank road.
This is thanks to the comprehensive training plan formulated by the King of Qin for the Qin soldiers. A series of training events such as running, hiking, and mountain climbing that test endurance and physical strength. Only then did Qin Bing walk through the extremely dangerous plank road without any casualties or accidents.
"promise!"
After receiving the order, the five thousand Qin soldiers squatted or knelt on the ground, took out the dry food from their arms, and started to eat.
"General, what should we do next?" At this time, the deputy general of the army came and asked.
Looking at the dark mountain road in the distance, the white brows couldn't help but twitch slightly, "Our army has walked for a day and a night on several consecutive sections of plank road, which has consumed a lot of physical and mental energy. At this moment! It is not appropriate to advance any further. Let everyone have a good rest.”
"In a moment, the entire army will advance at full speed, heading straight for Jianguan, catching the defenders of Jianguan by surprise."
call!
The deputy general took a breath and replied respectfully: "General, I understand!"
Coming down from the plank road, about ten miles away, is Jianguan, which stands between two mountains. The two big mountains next to Jianguan can be said to be towering into the clouds. When the clouds are dense, they become even more mysterious.
As for Jianguan, it is located between the two fronts. Due to its special geographical location, it is the only pass after getting off the plank road. It belongs to Dingzhou's traffic artery and even its throat.
Here it is! It is called Jianguan by the people of Dingzhou, sword! It means "sharp and dangerous". It was carried along the military route of Dingzhou. It was almost like one man was in charge of the pass, and no one could open it. It was later spread to the world. This is how the name of Jianguan was derived.
certainly! Bai Qi led his troops today and went deep alone. It can be said that he did not take risks.
It would be better if a surprise attack was made today and the sword pass was captured. If we can't win it and the army is defeated, we will be in big trouble. By then! Of course it would be extremely difficult for Bai Qi to withdraw.
After retreating from Jianguan, there was only one road behind Bai Qi, and that was the plank road. The plank road is narrow and only one person can pass at a time, and one must be careful. otherwise! If you are not careful, you may fall into this abyss and be shattered into pieces.
Bai Qi also knew it and sent out a surprise army to attack Jian Pass. The importance and danger of this operation was that if he were really defeated, most of his five thousand soldiers and horses would be attacked by the enemy, or even the whole army would be annihilated.
If he wins, he will capture Jianguan and Zhang Han, who is pressing outside Chenguan, will cooperate inside and outside and catch Liu Kai off guard. At that time, as long as the army captures Chenguan and Jianguan, the gate of Dingzhou is wide open, and the Qin army can march straight in, and the army can directly press the Dingzhou city.
By then! Then Liu Xin can be wiped out in one fell swoop and Dingzhou captured.
After half a stick of incense, Bai Qi's army had eaten dry food, and under the leadership of Bai Qi, they got up again and ran towards Jianguan.
At this time, Song Yi and Wei Tong in Jiangguan were drinking and reminiscing in the big tent. They had no idea that a Qin army was quietly advancing into Jianguan. Jian Guan was caught off guard.
"Send the order for a thousand crossbowmen and the rockets to be in position."
"The soldiers holding the explosive packs walked along the Yabi and quietly reached the foot of Jianguan City. Remember to take off your armor to avoid being discovered by the enemy. When the rocket started, you quickly put the explosive packs into the city. At the gate, then! Immediately retreat from both sides of the city gate," Bai Qi gave the order impressively.
"promise!"
Orders were passed down one after another, and the soldiers immediately began to take action.
A thousand light shield soldiers also immediately stood in the front row of archers to protect the back row from being attacked.
A thousand crossbowmen quickly put arrows on their backs on top of their bows. He then pulled out the bow and arrow forcefully, making a bow-and-moon shape, aiming directly at the defenders with their swords closed.
certainly! The Dingzhou Army at Jianguan Pass has been extremely well-defended since Wei Tong became general. Especially the military appearance is more than a little better than when led by other generals.
in vain! One hundred soldiers holding explosive packs in their hands, escorted by two hundred light shield soldiers, followed the walls on both sides towards the bottom of Jianguan City.
The night is hazy and the surroundings are dim. The silver moon has lost its luster under the cover of dark clouds. The light mist is like layers of soft gauze. With charming eyes, today's night, it seems that even God is there. Help comes in vain.
at this time! The seemingly peaceful Jianguan was filled with murderous intent. The smell of sparks filled the air, and was blown by the strong wind, flowing throughout the entire Jianguan.
A war is brewing.
"Hey! My mother!"
"What's going on with the weather today! During the day, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and I was covered in stinky sweat. At night, I felt a chill on my back." The soldier with his sword closed couldn't help but touch it with one hand. Holding the back of the long hand.
"Okay! Stop complaining. It's foggy today, so be careful. There's still half a stick of incense left, so we should change the guard and go on. Please bear with it." said a soldier next to him.
"put!"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they heard a roar like thunder.
call out! call out! call out!
Immediately!
There were sparks all over the sky, streaking through the heavy fog, shooting towards Jianguan.
The defenders of Jianguan opened their eyes wide and looked at the sky full of stars, shooting towards them, and were stunned for a while.
Someone immediately shouted, "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"
Tear!
Before the man could finish shouting, he fired a rocket and pierced the man's throat. Blood spilled from his mouth, and then he fell to the ground, breathless.
"Put it back!"
call out! call out! call out!
A thousand archers drew their bows again and shot.
The sword is like raindrops, falling on the sword pass.
At this time, the deputy general, who was under the cover of heavy fog, also arrived at the gate of Jianguan City.
"Don't be stunned. Hurry up and release the explosives to blow open the city gate." The deputy general ordered.
This time, they went on an expedition, but they brought thirty explosive packets with them, just to blow open the city gate when they attacked Jianguan.
certainly! Thirty explosive packs are already a lot. after all! The material cost of making an explosive pack is extremely high. Even Beiliang's treasury only has a few thousand pieces.
Fifty soldiers, carrying twenty explosive bags in their hands, quickly came to the sword gate after hearing the order.
At this time, there was already a mess on the Jianguan Pass. The main reason was that the fog was very heavy today. The rustling arrows made it difficult for the Jianguan defenders to judge how many enemy troops there were.
Well!
"Report to the general quickly!"
…
"Um?"
At this time, the two people who were eating in the mansion suddenly heard strong murderous shouts and wailing outside, and they couldn't sit still.
"What's going on?" Wei Tong looked at Song Yi.
But Song Yi also looked puzzled.
"Report! General, no good! The Qin army is coming." At this time, the soldiers guarding the pass came to report immediately.
