I’m The King

Chapter 1509 : Han Qi Tianxia One Hundred Ninety Nine

Luo Weiran rode his horse slowly into Hangu Pass. Qian Zhongyi blocked all the gates of Hangu Pass. However, with all the casualties in the city, these all lost their meaning. The soldiers of the Han army climbed up the city wall. The obstacle was quickly cleared, and the door was opened and closed.

Except for the Han army, there are no Qin people standing in the pass. It is hard to imagine that two days ago, fierce fighting broke out here, and hundreds of thousands of Han troops were firmly blocked outside the pass.

Luo Weiran boasted that he had been fighting for a long time and had seen any **** scenes, but when he stepped into Hangu Pass, the scene in front of him still made his stomach churn up and down, bursts of sourness spreading, almost on the spot. The vomiting will come out, and the Han soldiers who were ahead of the checkpoint are also pale at this time, and some are holding on to the wall beside them, bending over and vomiting.

The scene inside the pass is too horrible.

“Can you still survive?” Luo Weiran asked in a low voice, resisting the discomfort.

“I found some, but the situation is not very good, and I don’t know if it can be saved.” The army who entered the customs earlier has obviously vomited once, and he is still retching while talking. “Some unharmed ones were also found.”

“Huh?” Luo Weiran was a little surprised, “Is there still resistance in the pass?”

“No more!” The officer shook his head, “These surviving people are scattered in different places, and their mental condition looks very bad.” After a pause, he went on to say: “About a hundred people have survived. , It seems, all scared crazy.”

Luo Weiran was silent for a moment, then turned to the adjutant next to him and said: “Notify the follow-up troops not to enter the city, and let the engineer troops come in first. In addition, please ask your Majesty that all the army doctors in the First Military Region will also go ahead. How much can be saved? Right.”

“I know the commander!” The adjutant turned and rode away.

“Those Qin people who are not injured and have mental problems, let them go.” Luo Weiran said: “We need them to spread the situation at Hangu Pass. We must let those Qin troops know and resist. There is only one dead end, surrender. , Is their only way out.”

In the attack on Hangu Pass, only two battles were fought in the true sense. The first battle should be said to be lost, but the second battle completely wiped out the Qin army. It took only three days before and after, but cleaned up the inside of Hangu Pass. The endgame took ten days. A large number of Qin army corpses were transported out, concentrated in one place, and cremated in batches. During this period, the main force of the Han army did not step into Hangu Pass. Xu Yuan and Gao Yuan accepted Luo Weiran’s suggestion. Let the Han army see the tragedy in Hangu Pass, and create some psychological shadows on the war that followed.

Ten days later, the main force of the First Military Region crossed the Hangu Pass. Begin to march towards Xianyang At this point, the three battles of the Han Dynasty were divided into three groups, towards Xianyang, the center of Qin’s rule. Stride forward. In front of them, there is no natural barrier that can stop them.

In Changwu County, another large army that Qin State had withdrawn from Bashu is heading towards Xianyang under the leadership of Bai Qi. Lu Chao has set a strategy for the decisive battle in Xianyang, and Bai Qi also knows that if he does not want to be defeated by the Han army Annihilation is outside, the only way out is to approach Xianyang.

The broken State of Qin could no longer provide him with effective support. For an army of tens of thousands, even rations have become a problem. The poverty of the people along the way is shocking. Even if they scrape the ground three feet, they are barely filling their belly.

Only when they return to Xianyang can they be reluctant. With all the resources concentrated in Xianyang, only where they have a chance to comeback, although it is only a slight chance.

“General, in Xianyang, we have gathered hundreds of thousands of young people and formed a large army. We have built a solid line of defense around Xianyang. We have built thousands of artillery pieces distributed around Xianyang. Now Xianyang can It is said to be invaluable. As long as General Bai and General Xu rush back to Xianyang in time, we will be able to let the Han army shed blood under Xianyang City.” The messenger from Xianyang said to Baiqi endlessly. The current situation in Xianyang. For Bai Qi, Lu Chao is not so relieved. The southern frontier Wang Ming’s surrender without a fight, and his most trusted brother and political ally Mingtai’s leaving without saying goodbye, Lu Chao has a serious distrust of the generals outside. Feeling, he sent special envoys to both Bai Qi and Xu Yahua’s army, intending to monitor and urge these two generals who still hold heavy forces to return to Xianyang on time. In Lu Chao’s plan, these two armies will be Play an important role in the next battle of Xianyang.

Listening to the messenger’s words, Bai Qi smiled indifferently. The so-called army of hundreds of thousands is just a few farmers who have just put down their hoes, and a large part of them are still forced to come. What is the fighting power of these people? Now Xianyang, the real elite, is just that Lu Chao’s direct line of troops is less than 30,000, so he is eagerly looking forward to Bai Qi’s rapid withdrawal to Xianyang.

As for Lu Chao’s sudden announcement as emperor, Bai Qi was shocked, but it was all right, because the current state of Qin was already under Lu Chao’s control in fact, and the difference was just a name. . If Lu Chao leads them to victory in this battle, he is the emperor. As long as Qin is able to survive again, it will be enough. If he loses, everyone will go to see the King of Hades together. What can the emperor do to himself?

“Where did General Xu withdraw now?” Bai Qi asked indifferently with the impassioned ignorance of the envoy.

“General Xu has arrived in Zhengning now, and he is almost advancing side by side with General Bai. General Xu is divided into three parts. The first part protects all the craftsmen and technicians. He has returned to Xianyang within a month, and the other is in Hangu. Guarding, blocking the advance of the Han army, General Xu led the main force to protect a large number of people who are retreating to Xianyang. The speed is higher than that of General You.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, and he and Xu Yahua returned to Xianyang. The combined armies on both sides amounted to more than 100,000. With the addition of the army in Xianyang, there are close to 200,000 people who can really set foot on the battlefield to fight the Han army. Although the number is insufficient, after all, it is the home battle. If Xianyang really has built a complete defense network, as the messenger said, and has such a large number of artillery, then this final battle, It is not without chance.

For the artillery of the Han army, Bai Qi reflected profoundly.

In fact, Bai Qi’s army has not experienced a large-scale artillery battle. Unlike Xu Yahua’s army, the war with the Han army was basically artillery clearing the way. The Bai Qi’s new army has been busy suppressing since its formation. The peasant rebels in the country did not have the opportunity to fight with the main force of the Han army. It was not until the end of the war that the rebels of Shu County gradually became a climate, directly occupying Shu County and began to expand to Ba County, Bai Qi confronted them. But recently, the Bashu uprising army received a lot of assistance from the Han country, and the artillery appeared in front of Bai Qi for the first time. The earth-shattering formation and huge lethality of the artillery when the artillery fired made Bai Qi He was shocked that what he faced was only a small-scale shelling. It was hard for him to imagine that a bombardment of hundreds of cannons would be a terrifying sight.

The information just returned was that when Hangu Pass was breached by the Han army, it was attacked by hundreds of Han army artillery at the same time. Thinking of that scene, Bai Qi was shocked.

Today, his form is not easy. The Bashu uprising army behind him, under the leadership of Niu Teng, Wen Yi, and He Yong, has been trailing behind, and the information from the previous days has made Bai Qi even more powerful. Increased vigilance. Several cavalry troops of the Han army bypassed Xianyang and scattered the young and strong people who had assembled in Xianyang from all over the territory of Qin. From the collected information, the three independent cavalry divisions of the Han have all appeared.

Bai Qi is now worried that these three independent cavalry divisions will target him.

Will the Han army allow himself to return to Xianyang so easily? not necessarily. Dismissed the messenger, and standing in front of the map, Bai Qi fell into contemplation.

“General, it’s okay!” Lu Yi, a deputy general who broke into the big tent, had a look of panic on his face.

What is really afraid of. Bai Qi’s face sank slightly, “Have you found the cavalry of the Han army?”

“Yes, the Han Huns cavalry division, led by Guli, has captured Bin County.” Lu Yi swallowed.

“Guli’s Huns cavalry divisions are all cavalry. How could they conquer the county seat? Can their horses fly?” Bai Qi was shocked and angry. Bin County was their only way back to Xianyang. , They will spend at least ten more days.

“The county magistrate of Binxian surrendered to the wind Lu Yi said angrily: “According to what the scout inquired about, the Han cavalry only threatened the city, and the county leader of Binxian surrendered. ”

Bai Qi sighed. The so-called tree fell and the tigers were scattered, this is the truth. Now in Daqin’s situation, I am afraid that most people have lost their last confidence.

“Are there steppers to follow up?”

“So far, no Han soldiers have been found to appear.” Lu Yi said.

“Fortunately, the Xiongnu cavalry division is good at field battles, not good at defending the city. Binxian surrendered, and it was only for them to get more supplies. Gu Li would never stay in the city and guard, she would still think The way to find fighters in the wild, the original plan remains the same, we still move forward to Bin County, Lu Yi, gather all our cavalry, led by you, cover on the flanks to prevent sudden attacks by the Han Cavalry, the troop speed slows down, pay attention to front and rear protection , Don’t get out of touch, you can take advantage of it.”

“Yes, General.”

“Immediately send someone to notify Xu Yahua and inform him of our location. Tell him that the Han cavalry has appeared.” (To be continued.)
