The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 657 : Capture 2 levels! Start to stick to it

The 20,000 soldiers and horses released by the guard are quickly rectifying and gathering, preparing to go south to protect Nanliguan, and they must not be captured by Xia Guo’s soldiers and horses.

When the soldiers and horses were assembled, some of Chen Kai’s cavalry fled in panic, and Meng Fang personally met them and asked about the situation.

“When General Chen led us to retreat to the south, we encountered a premeditated ambush by the enemy. General Chen died in the battle. The other brothers suffered heavy losses, and only a small part of them escaped. The number of enemies is large, estimated to be as many as 50,000 or 60,000. , Almost surrounded us.” The soldier’s voice was still trembling.

Meng Fang asked other people again, and they all said the same. Those who were frustrated would subconsciously think that the enemy was very powerful. They didn’t know how many soldiers and horses there were in Xia, but they would think of many, many, if there were not many, how could they have been killed so much. It’s tragic!

This misunderstanding naturally affected Meng Fang. Meng Fang immediately notified the lieutenant to set off. At the same time, he sent a messenger to Tonglu County to dispatch soldiers and horses. This time, Xia Guo’s soldiers and horses must be encircled and suppressed.

In this way, Meng Fang led his 20,000 soldiers and horses to the south to leave the pass.

It is said that the messenger sent by Mengfang went to inform Zhou Yi on the North Road and ordered him to retreat to the Beishu Pass. Unfortunately, he was intercepted by the people sent by Han Xin before he got there.

Han Xin had a clear guess about the behavior of being released.

After ensuring that Meng Fang had sent troops, Han Xin led his troops out of Maolin and launched an attack on the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Zhouyi.

More than 30,000 assists and 5,000 troops were fortified in the west to prevent Zhou Yi’s troops from going to the North Junction to inform the news, and it was Han Xin who led the troops himself. Zhou Yi’s 20,000 soldiers could not resist it, and were tragically killed by Han Xin’s soldiers.

As a general, Zhou Yi naturally wanted to retreat to the Beishu Pass, but unfortunately he also encountered the ambushing Xia Jun. This time it was daytime and he wiped them all out, and Zhou Yi also died in battle.

After the war, the sun set in the west.

Afterwards, a part of Han Xin’s army cleaned the battlefield, selected uninjured soldiers, formed more than 20,000 soldiers, put on the clothes of Qin soldiers, and began to go west pretending to be the Qin army.

In the middle of the night, Han Xin led them to the North Gate.

The North Junction, the Xiongguan built on the Qinling Mountains, has a towering city wall that makes it difficult to win a strong attack. As long as this strong barrier is held, the communication channel between the Dongqi region and the Qin country will be blocked, so the strategic significance is very huge.

The original plan was to pretend to be the fleeing Qin army, but now it is no longer needed. Han Xin directly disguised himself as a soldier and horse of Zhouyi. Because the Beishuguan did not receive the news of the Daxia soldiers and horses, the guards did not have much doubts, but only confirmed their establishment. At this time, Han Xin happened to have a letter that was released. Let them retreat into the North Gate.

This letter made the guarding generals more convinced, and in this way, they approached the North Gate smoothly.

It was late, and Han Xin used the hard work on the road to let the soldiers rest earlier. Although the guard general felt that this soldier was a bit strange, he had prevaricated when he asked Han Xin some things, but he couldn’t tell where the strangeness was.

late at night.

Han Xin released the signal, and his soldiers began to take action.

There were only 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding the gate, and he was suddenly attacked by his side. The result can be imagined! The 20,000 soldiers and horses were almost completely wiped out, and the Beishu Pass was directly lost.

In the early morning of the next day, the Daxia soldiers and horses behind, led by Wei Guang, rushed to the outside of Beishu Pass, but more than 10,000 people did not go to the city, but placed their positions in front of the city, seeming to be attacking the city.

Han Xin and his soldiers at the city pass still wore the costumes of Qin soldiers, disguised as the Qin army guarding the pass, and let some people into Wei Guang’s team, making the number of Xia army look forty to fifty thousand.

Hey, the two parties actually sang the double reed.

Then, the dead men were arranged to disguise as Qin Bing to go to Zhongtingguan to inform.

As soon as the atrium gatekeeper heard that there were Daxia soldiers and horses attacking the Beishuguan, he immediately sent to investigate the situation. He had already learned from the Meng Fang that there was Xia army raging in Shanyuan County, so he didn’t feel it, but he didn’t expect that there would be there in the north Xia Jun.

During this investigation, the spies brought back information about Xia Junbing’s Linbei Junction, including Xia Jun’s basic information. The spies also said that there seemed to be a battle between the two sides, and there were blood stains on the city gate that had not yet been cleaned up.

This just corroborated what the soldiers sent by Han Xin said that the Qin army nearly attacked the gate, and defended the gate at all costs.

The city gate is divided into inner and outer gates. The three gates were originally built by the State of Zhao. Naturally, the east side is the inner city. There are large stairs on both sides of the gate, so you can go up and down freely. Outside the city is the towering city wall. Therefore, it is easier to seize the city from the inside. You don’t need to borrow climbing equipment, you just need to kill it.

The guard at the atrium saw the danger of the North Junction and immediately mobilized 13,000 troops to go north to support the North Junction. At the same time, he sent an emergency report to General Meng Fang to inform him of the matter.

At this time, Meng Fang was chasing Dianwei, and was led by Dianwei to the southern part of Shanyuan County. It was more than three hundred miles away from Zhongting Pass and farther from Beishu Pass, which was beyond reach.

When the 13,000 soldiers and horses of the Atrium Pass rushed to the Beishu Pass, they encountered an ambush. They had mental arithmetic and unintentional. Han Xin set a trap and waited for them to drill, how could he let him run away.

After the annihilation of these 10,000 Qin troops, Han Xin rashly 20,000 soldiers rushed to the Atrium Pass again. This time it was a forceful attack. The 5,000 Qin Army could not stop the brave Han Jiajun at all, and the Atrium Pass was also lost.

At this point, Han Xin has won the North Shuttle and the Atrium with a series of sound attacks.

With nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, Dianwei took 30,000, and excluding the casualties, Han Xin had nearly 40,000 left in his hands. He led 15,000 people to guard the atrium, and Wei Guang and other deputy generals guarded the North Junction.

Next, the two camps changed.

Han Xin had to guard these two city gates, blocking Qin’s snatch, waiting for Chen Qing’s soldiers to come.

As just said, it is easy to siege from within the city gate, so the next time will be the biggest test for Han Xin and others.

Because once it was known that the Qinling Three Passes were lost, the Qin Army in the eastern and western regions would have taken them all, and it was bound to retake the three passes, and the Qin Army killed faster than Chen Qingzhi. After all, Chen Qingzhi’s soldiers are still in Zhaodu County. There are also two counties in between.

In order to hold the two gates, Han Xin and Wei Guang started to move. They piled up soil and rocks on the stairs to block the climbing passage. In this case, they would have to use a ladder or a ladder to win the city.

Secondly, they did not carry many arrow feathers. Although they had confiscated Qin’s equipment, they only had part of it. So they cut wood, sharpened bamboo, and made the most primitive weapons.

While preparing for the two gates in full swing, the fleeing Qin army passed the news of the fall of the two gates to Meng Fang. After listening to it, he was stunned for a moment.

In the past few days, he led soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress Dianwei. The fifty thousand soldiers and horses of Tonglu County dared to rush here, and they were about to come. Who would have thought that the Beishu and Atrium Gates would have been lost!

how is this possible!

Meng Fang was there for a moment before he realized that he had miscalculated.

I was in the tactic of adjusting the tiger away from the mountain. The Beishuguan and Zhongtingguan were deceived by a series of tricks, and they were lost and occupied!

“Damn, damn! Let me know immediately and go to the atrium pass immediately!” Meng Fang ordered immediately, and now it is the big deal to **** the city pass.

“Also, the immediate bulletin informs General Meng Yi and informs the court that he must send more troops! Where are the soldiers and horses in Tonglu County? Why are they so slow that they can’t keep up with the heat!”

Meng Fang was in a hurry, Meng Yi handed over the responsibility of guarding the gate to him, and even confessed to him before leaving, but he was still careless.

The only good thing now is that Xia Jun can’t have too many people, and he is coming in a hurry and lacks equipment, so he must regain the three levels at any cost.

Once Xia Guo’s reinforcements arrived, it would be really troublesome.

……

After Meng Yi of Qingchuan County got Temujin, he was ready to deal with the incoming Xia army. But in the past few days, he suddenly discovered that after Xia Jun entered Tianshui County, his marching speed had slowed down, which made Meng Yi suddenly realize a dangerous signal, that is, whether Xia Jun was delaying time.

Why delay?

Meng Yi’s strategic vision was much higher than that of his cousin Meng Fang. He immediately guessed that the purpose of delaying time was probably related to the Qinling Three Passes.

“Han Xin, Han Xin… they all say that you lead soldiers like a god, if you really take the risk to take the Qinling checkpoint, then someone in Meng will really admire you, not everyone has such courage!” Meng Yi With a sigh, he immediately ordered the army to change direction, not to the east, but to the southwest.

Two days later, the Eagle reported the latest intelligence.

The atrium and Beishu are lost!

When the news spread, all the generals next to Meng Yi were sluggish. It was really unexpected and unbelievable.

Meng Yi sighed, his most worried thing happened!

“Immediately notify all the cavalry to rush to the North Junction, notify the soldiers and horses of the counties to go to Shanyuan County along the way, attack the atrium and the North Junction, and at the same time fortify the main passage of Shanyuan County to resist Xia’s reinforcements! The loss of the two passes is not terrible. There is still a chance to take it back. Once Xia Guo’s reinforcements are replenished, that will be the beginning of the trouble!”

Meng Yi’s final word calmed down the mood of the generals.

Then began to dispatch troops and horses to guard against the death of Shanyuan County. As long as you defend Shanyuan County and Daxia reinforcements can’t make it through, then you can breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Han Xin was in danger this time, how could he not consider the follow-up situation!

Chen Qingzhi has entered Zhaodu County. He didn’t know that Han Xin had already won the two levels. He was just starting westward to support at the time agreed with Han Xin, so what Meng Yi could not imagine was that Chen Qingzhi’s soldiers were entering Xichuan. County, faster than him, and still marching at the fastest speed.

Secondly, Xia Jun’s stronger reinforcements have passed Qijiang. A cavalry of 30,000 has entered Yanzhou County and is chasing Chen Qingzhi’s soldiers and horses. There are more soldiers crossing the river behind, they will be Han Xin’s strongest. Big backup.

The next step is to see if Han Xin can survive the most dangerous days. As long as he can hold on, the reinforcements will be there.

Han Xin also thought about keeping only one pass, so that more troops can be assembled and the time to resist will be longer.

But later, from a strategic plan, it was decided to guard the two gates at the same time, guarding them with their lives.
