The withdrawal of the Luoyang King from the alliance surprised everyone in the Qi army and the Shu army. Please use... Visit this site. Although the Luoyang King has something to say, in the alliance, all rights will be based on the Hanzhong King.

The matter was led by the King of Hanzhong. However, it still surprised them. After all, whether they were involved was too different.

However, since they were unwilling, they had nothing to say. As for the previous rumors, it was announced that the Luo army withdrew from Jingnan. If it weren't for the pressure from Zhao in the north, I would be afraid that the King of Luoyang would join Jingbei.

The army would also withdraw to the central area of ​​Jingzhou. For the Shu army, they now have no excuses to cause trouble for the Luoyang King.

Foreign affairs have been decided, and with the strong leadership of King Situ Fei of Hanzhong and the threat of defense in the west Yongzhou and Jingbei, the princes officially began to discuss the alliance. Among them, the obligations of all parties to the alliance and the number of troops sent,

Support for food, grass and materials must form certain standards. In the expectation of the Hanzhong King, the princes of all directions will form alliance forces to attack and defend, and they will not fight each other and will be united in external affairs. As the Shu army that does not face the Zhao State directly,

We also need to provide food and supplies for other princes when they faced attacks by the Zhao army.

In the sixth year of Changping, that is, in late March of the first year of the Great Zhao, King Situ Fei of Hanzhong finally made the alliance become formal. Theoretically speaking, from now on, even if the princes in the south are a whole, they no longer need to worry about attacking each other.

, and the main force began to pour northward. Of course, it does not mean that the princes in all directions will no longer worry about each other, but they will not easily attack each other without significant advantages.

The general goal has been determined. For Situ Fei, the next step is to negotiate some details, the amount of troops sent, the number of food and supplies, and other series of detailed amounts related to the various princes.

At this moment, the Zhao ** team stationed in Xiyongzhou dispatched nearly 30,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on Hangu Pass. Almost as the alliance of princes had just determined the general policy, the Zhao army and the front line of Hangu Pass were just as the general policy was determined.

The Han army began a life-and-death battle.

Hangu Pass! Hangu Pass is located in the west of Hangu Pass, facing Juejian in the east, Qinling in the south, and rivers in the north, which can be said to be a heroic pass in the world. It is quite a man who is at the pass, but tens of thousands of men cannot open their spirit! The famous ancient road of Chang'an passes through the valley

After that, the Qin army defeated the Kanto Alliance here several times, with millions of ambushing the troops and blood flowing.

The emperor Qin Shihuang, the eternal emperor, began his journey from Hangu Pass. He eventually swept across the six kingdoms, unified the country, and opened up the imperial era that lasted for two thousand years!

However, now, the storm of Hangu Pass has started again and is in a war again.

Outside Hangu Pass, the originally quiet plain was now covered by the military camp. The fiery red flag was floating in the wind in the morning. These Zhao army camps appeared on the night before.

Outside the city wall. Last night, the Zhao army was preparing to raid the wall, but the defenders at Hangu Pass were found unsuccessful. Zhao Xiong, the chief general of the Zhao army, did not deliberately continue to attack, but instead let the army that arrived overnight go to the spot.

Renovation. Because the defenders in the pass are far less powerful than their own, the Zhao army is not afraid of the raids in the city at night.

Of course, Zhao Xiong also made corresponding preparations. If the defenders in the pass raid, they would definitely be left by the Zhao army, which would be beneficial to the Zhao army's attack. However, the Han army guarding the pass might have been calm all night, and the Zhao army might have been killed by the Zhao army.

The army was frightened and had no choice to raid at night.

In the early morning, when the sky was dawn, the horns were ringing inside and outside the city, and the drums were shaking. Outside the city, teams of Zhao soldiers wearing red stiletto helmets slowly drove out from the barracks. They entered the desolate space in front of the pass

The ground was lined up, under the dark sky, the wind was blowing, the flags were flying, the swords, guns, swords and halberds stood solemnly like forests, the well railing formation, and the huge figure of the catapult seemed to describe a ferocious ancient giant, standing coldly behind the Zhao army.

The main formation of the central army, Zhao Xiong stood in the wind under the escort of his personal soldiers, looking at the vast sea of ​​his own army in the wilderness. He couldn't help but feel enthusiastic and full of passion. Looking at the panicked Han soldiers on the city wall, Zhao Xiong rode his horse.

He raised his whip, pointed to the majestic outline of Hangu Pass, and said loudly: "So what about Hangu Pass? No matter how dangerous it is, it will not stop our Da Zhao soldiers from advancing. Now, I will drink with you all in the pass!"

There were originally more than 20,000 Han troops in Hangu Pass, half of which were in Hangu Pass, and half were in the camp between Hangu Pass and Tongguan. This camp was established after the Zhao army captured Dongyongzhou, and it was possible to establish defense against Zhao.

The state attacked Hangu Pass and built it. However, at this moment, there was an empty camp. The Han army in this camp was also attracted by the attack of Zhao State on the border between Liangzhou and Bingzhou and Xiyongzhou.

…………

At Hangu Pass, the Han general Zhang Ling stood up with a solemn face and supported the wall. At this moment, he had only eight thousand soldiers under his command, but the Zhao army, which he became, had 30,000 combat soldiers, 10,000 baggage soldiers and 10,000 civilians. But they

But I don’t know that nearly half of these 30,000 soldiers were surrendered by the former Luo Army of Dongyongzhou. This time, the attack on Hangu Pass was also to provide final training for these surrendered soldiers and integrate into their own command.

In every battle between the Zhao army, some injured soldiers would be arranged to be discharged from the army, and stayed in local prefectures and counties to serve as core soldiers and officers of county soldiers. At the same time, the recruits will supplement the trained soldiers and then go through the war.

Integrate to form a new Zhao army as a whole.

"Damn it! Didn't it mean that the Zhao army would not attack here? Didn't it mean that the Zhao State is busy rectifying its internal affairs and wouldn't it trigger a war at this moment? Are those spies all idiots?" Su Zilin, deputy general located not far from Zhang Ling, cursed angrily.

.

"Okay, it's useless to scold you now! By the way, I asked you to send someone to repay the defenders of Tongguan and Lord Lin Shuchenglin, who are the ones who are left behind in Chang'an. Have you arranged this?" Zhang Ling was also full of resentment, although the spy reported to Zhao Jun.

In order to rectify internal affairs, the one who said that Zhao would not attack at this moment was his own king. It was also because of this that most of the defenders of Hangu Pass were transferred to the northwest. Although he was dissatisfied, he also

I understand that this is not the time to complain.

Su Zilin said in a muffled voice: "The general's direction, the last general has arranged personnel to repay the situation in the early morning. Alas, I just don't know if Lord Lin can send reinforcements in time."

Zhang Ling understood Su Zilin's worries. The Han army in the entire Xiyongzhou area was only more than 50,000, less than 60,000. At this moment, there were also places in the north and northwest areas of Xiyongzhou. In comparison,

Hangu Pass is the easiest place to stick to. After all, Hangu Pass is a natural barrier, which is not something to say. Therefore, most of the troops in Xiyongzhou are concentrated in the west, northwest and north.

Because of the harassment of the Zhao army in Liangzhou in the western region and Bingzhou in the northern region, the King of Hanzhong also transferred the army of Hangu Pass westward. After all, Hangu Pass had a dangerous pass to defend, while there were no one in the western region and the northern region. But now, I am afraid that there would be no one in Chang'an either.

The troops can be transferred, but the rest can only be organized and strong. When reinforcements arrive, it will take Hangu Pass for a certain period of time to hold on.

But Zhang Ling also knew that there was no reserve of too much material at Hangu Pass, and it was difficult for 8,000 soldiers to resist the attack of Zhao's army. In addition, since then, when Zhao captured Dongyongzhou, Hangu Pass had 20,000 defenders.

After the soldiers came out of the pass to rescue but the entire army was destroyed, the troops on the eastern front of Xiyongzhou also added many new recruits. Therefore, if there were no reinforcements, Zhang Ling would find it difficult to believe that he could defend this place.

"Boom boom boom..." A rumbling sound suddenly sounded outside the city, which was the footsteps of the Zhao army soldiers advancing.

Is it finally about to start? How long can this Hangu Pass last? Looking at the panicked soldiers, a faint feeling of sadness flashed through Zhang Ling's eyes.

"Send the order to prepare the soldiers for battle!"

Accompanied by Zhang Ling's military orders, the endless impact of gold and iron suddenly sounded, and the soldiers of the seven or eight Han army were neatly dressed and formed a formation along the Hangu Pass city wall. Although the troops were far inferior to the other party, they had Hangu Pass.

Zhang Ling also wanted to learn about Zhao Jun's strength based on this.

"Arrowmen...array!"

"Pullavigators... gather!"

"Tube oil, lift the turbid oil..."

"The rolling wood is placed here, and the piles are arranged neatly..."

At Hangu Pass, the shrill sounds of Han Army's small school's stern horns rang one after another, resounding through the mountains. The soldiers under their respective commands quickly began to gather and line up. Then, teams began to mobilize according to military orders and set up corresponding formations along the inside of the female wall.

The suffocating and murderous aura spread endlessly between the world. Many new recruits who had never been on the battlefield had already pale faces and could not even speak. Only those veterans who had been through many battles had a cold expression and were calm in their manners.

These veterans who came through the sea of ​​fire have the firm will of rocks. Even if the sky falls, they cannot change at all.

Outside Hangu Pass, Zhao Xiong said indifferently: "Looking at the situation of the Han army on the city wall, the governor's plan has been successful. Not only are there few Han army on the pass, but many of them are new soldiers. I think that the last time they came out of the pass and attacked.

We have wiped out more than 20,000 people, which is a great trauma to them."

Deputy General Zhang Yin said: "Even so, if you attack hard, you will probably have to suffer a lot of casualties."

Zhao Xiong smiled and said, "There are not many troops in Xiyongzhou that can flexibly mobilize, and I think their reinforcements will not arrive immediately. Even if there are, they are still young and strong. What we need now is to train our soldiers and put them in the team.

The new soldiers and the surrendered soldiers were all trained into old soldiers to adapt to our Zhao army's combat practice. The second was to take advantage of the situation to consume the city guards that had closed the enemy. If the supplies were gone, they might exhaust them.

After exhaustion, they used the new type of thunder to give them the last blow."

"Send the order, first and second start attacking!"

"The general has an order, and both first and second start attacking..."

The flag swayed, and immediately a messenger rushed forward quickly, passing Zhao Xiong's military orders. Suddenly, the low horn suddenly became fierce and intense. The endless drum sound became louder and louder.

The raindrops hit the hearts of the siege soldiers, and the hot blood suddenly began to boil.

The first in front of him, after receiving the order, the second capital commander lifted the spear in his hand into the sky, roared a long roar, and then gave a deep order. The messenger beside him raised a triangle flag in his hand and tried hard

Waving, the middle-level officer below almost howled in unison: "The chief lieutenant has an order, heavy infantry is in front, swords and shield soldiers, and archers are following closely...attack!"

"Click...Click...Click..."

There were more than 1,500 heavy infantrymen in each of them, beginning to advance towards the city wall, and their heavy footsteps gathered into a suffocating sound. Amid the rhythmic and iron-blooded murderous footsteps, two huge infantrymen

The square formation began to slowly move forward. While moving, it began to change its formation, and gradually changed from the initial offensive and defense-based local formation to a purely defensive, upside-down geese-shaped formation.

At Hangu Pass, a trace of coldness flashed through the eyes of Zhang Ling, the chief general of the Han army. He is worthy of being a soldier in Zhao. The infantry team is neat and the armor is tight. The formation changes rapidly and orderly, and can be called a jing army.

!However, he also saw from the Zhao army soldiers that some of the Zhao army soldiers were also moving, a little panicked. He understood that these were probably the new soldiers in the Zhao army.

In fact, he didn't know that these were the surrendered soldiers of the Luo army from the former Dong Yongzhou, but they were not suitable for the current way of siege in the Zhao army. If they directly attacked the city, they would face fierce attacks from the enemy. As for the Zhao army's military rules,

Without military orders, they could not retreat. These surrendered soldiers had already appreciated the strictness of Zhao **'s rules in the Zhao army's new camp.

Zhao Xiong, the central army, ordered indifferently: "Let the catapults in the rear assist in the war and smash them hard on the city wall! This general wants to see if the Hangu Pass defenders are not afraid at all."

"boom……"

The 10,000 troops stopped two hundred steps away from the front. The heavy infantry in front paused the big shield in their hands to the ground. A loud noise like a landslide and cracked in the sky and the earth suddenly burst out. The sword and shield soldiers behind them

He was on both sides of the archers and was arranged in a row with the archers' queue. Almost two square soldiers had just formed the formation, and huge catapults were followed.

"Trailing car, attack!"

"Let go! Let go~~"

Dozens of small school students standing next to the catapult cart coldly ordered that thousands of baggage soldiers simultaneously pulled the cables in their hands and dropped the near end of the throwing cart. In a flash, nearly a hundred huge rocks as big as millstones were already

He threw it high, with a shrill roar, and rolled towards the majestic city wall of Hangu Pass.

"Boom boom boom boom~~"

The huge impact sounded endlessly in an instant, and the entire majestic wall began to moan and tremble. Many Han soldiers on the city wall suddenly became panicked. Of course, some soldiers were hit directly by stones.

The bones were broken and the tendons were broken, and the magic field was tragically killed. There was a loud bang and rocks smashed into the burning oil pan. The oil was splashed in the pot and the flames swelled. More than a dozen Han soldiers guarding the oil pan could not escape.

In an instant, it was swallowed by the raging fire.

The city tower suddenly became in disarray, but soon stabilized under the command of the officer and began to dodge.

"The Zhao army's ladder and siege tower were not dispatched. They were not attacking the city, but attacking the morale and training of our soldiers! If this continues, Hangu Pass will be in danger!"

"Arrowman, she attack!" Outside the city wall, thousands of archers from the Zhao army were already ready while showing their power. At this moment, with the command of the officer, thousands of arrows flew together, straight and straight.

Come to the city wall!

…………

Chang'an, the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, may not be as prosperous as Luoyang, but the size and completeness of Chang'an are no less than Luoyang. Since then, since Emperor Yan moved the capital, the prosperity here has been no longer there, plus the original

The rebellion of Liangzhou Prefecture also caused the Three Auxiliary Places in Chang'an to suffer from war, so this place is far inferior to Luoyang. Of course, it is even less than Luoyang, which is now occupied by the Zhao army.

Lin Shucheng was responsible for the affairs of Chang'an and the entire Dongyongzhou. He was the one who was left behind in Chang'an and was responsible for the military and political affairs of the three auxiliary places in Chang'an. At this moment, Lin Shucheng's face was full of pain. When Zhao State took action, the Zhao army held a big move, which was also the case.

He was shocked. In his opinion, the Zhao army's actions were certain, but the main purpose was to destroy the alliance of princes. But now, the State of Zhao was really in full swing, and the target of the attack was actually Hangu Pass, which he thought was unlikely.

In contrast, the north and northwest areas of Xiyongzhou are more likely to be attacked. Liangzhou and Bingzhou are not much less than those stationed in Dongyongzhou. Most importantly, the Zhao army in Dongyongzhou must be guarded against Jing in the south.

The Jingzhou Army in the north, and Hangu Pass has natural dangers to defend, so the possibility of being attacked on the front line of Hangu Pass is still relatively low.

It is also because of this that when the King of Hanzhong returned to Chang'an, he moved the center of gravity of the army westward and northward, he had no reason to object. Now, the military newspaper and letter of help from the Hangu Pass were already in his hands.

"How could the Zhao army attack at this time? Isn't it that it is being rectified internally because of official issues, and Zhao Xun is confident that he will fight the princes and win in an internal instability?"

"Unstable? The foundation of the Zhao army is stronger than you want! Even if it is unstable, they can draw hundreds of thousands of troops to fight us."

The voices of arguments from the staff in the mansion came to his ears, which made Lin Shucheng even more annoyed. He found that after he was in charge of Chang'an, he had been busy with internal affairs for a long time, he had neglected to investigate the information of Zhao State.

"Don't argue, now, I will arrange it, you will do as you wish. If anyone has a better opinion or other opinion, please raise it at any time. The situation is very dangerous now, and it is not the time for you to argue about the information of the State of Zhao. Now it is Hangu Pass.

Attack and support Hangu Pass as the main focus." Lin Shucheng said in a deep voice.

After stopping the arguments from the staff, Lin Shucheng rubbed his eyebrows and made arrangements immediately. On the one hand, he sent someone to report the information here to the King of Hanzhong in Jingnan so that the King of Hanzhong would bring the princes to help. On the other hand, he also asked the King of Hanzhong to order Jing.

The army in the north took certain actions against the Zhao army in the east Yongzhou, forcing the Zhao army to dare not advance westward easily.

In addition, Lin Shucheng also asked someone to immediately organize young and strong people to go to Hangu Pass to support. In order to prevent the Zhao army from attacking the west, he did not allow the North Line and the Northwest Line to retreat. After all, Hangu Pass has a dangerous pass to defend it, and

After all, we can hold on for a while. If the Zhao army was allowed to enter from the north and northwest, it would be difficult for Xiyongzhou to stick to it.

At the same time, Lin Shucheng also sent orders to the northern and western parts of Xiyongzhou to prepare for their defense to prevent the Zhao army from raiding.
Chapter completed!
