The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 658 : A fierce siege war!

The towering atrium was closed, and Han Xin stood on the city wall and looked at the east.

The rising sun shines all over, it looks peaceful, but the scouts just came to report that the soldiers and horses released are already fifty miles away, and they are killing them quickly, while the Qin army of Tonglu County has entered Shanyuan County and is rushing forward. Come.

This is the danger Han Xin will face. If he can stop these Qin troops, he can wait until Daxia’s reinforcements. If he can’t stop him, he will have to die.

This is also the reason why Han Xin had to split his forces to defend the two passes. The Qin army’s assembled forces were not enough to divide the troops into two groups to simultaneously seize the Zhongting Pass and the Beishu Pass. They could only take them one after the other. Therefore, if the atrium falls and Han Xin is killed in battle, it will create an opportunity for Beishuguan and reduce the pressure, and they will be able to wait until the arrival of the Daxia reinforcements.

Now Meng Fangchao is attacking the atrium. One is that the distance is closer, and the other is that Han Xin has fewer troops stationed here, and Meng Tian must choose soft persimmons.

“Hold here, Dongqi Sixteenth County belongs to Daxia.”

Han Xin muttered to himself, then stretched out his hand and patted the city wall in front of him vigorously, starting with a blunt, sturdy stone brick, but it gave Han Xin greater motivation and confidence.

The Qinling Three Passes were built on the basis of the Qinling Mountains. Just like Daxia built a city wall in the Qimeng Mountains, these three passes were also built in low mountains.

Atrium Pass is eleven li in length, extending from left to right to the peak of the mountain. The city wall is as high as 20 meters high, and the thickness is more than ten meters. The army has a lot of horses.

As the saying goes, one man should be the gate, and one man is not open. This is the truth.

At this time, the stairs on both sides of the city gate were piled up with earth and rocks. If Meng Fang wanted to seize this level, he could only use ladders and ladders.

Gradually, black shadows appeared in the southeast, getting closer and closer, and it was the soldiers and horses that had been released.

Finally, they approached and stopped five miles away from the atrium.

Meng Fang took the person to take a photo immediately. When he saw that the staircase passage was filled with earth and rocks and could not attack at all, Meng Fang’s mood became more gloomy.

He raised his head and looked at the dense Xia Jun standing on the city, lined up, one by one, indifferent, not frightened, as if to live and die with the city under his feet.

“Who is Han Xin?” Meng Fang said angrily.

Han Xin stood above the city gate and smiled condescendingly: “Why did General Mengfang look for this general?”

Meng Fang had never seen Han Xin. When I saw him for the first time at this time, I didn’t expect him to be so young! I heard that he was still a native of Yan and was born as a servant. It was incredible that such an identity was valued and reused by Emperor Xia. The new emperor of Xia Kingdom really didn’t doubt his talents.

This was just a thought after a second thought. Then he was released and pointed his sword at Han Xin, and said angrily: “Han Xin, Xia Guo attacked our Da Qin land regardless of morals and justice. Now he is using a conspiracy to seize our city. It is almost abandoned by humans and gods. This general advises you. Catch with nothing, don’t make senseless resistance!”

Han Xin smiled and said: “Okay, I can catch it with my hands, but General Meng has to persuade my soldiers, so let’s go, you give me ten days, how about?”

“Fart! Don’t wait any longer!” Meng Fang said angrily.

Han Xin shrugged and said with a smile: “You are the one who made a joke to this general again! You took the Atrium Pass from the hands of Zhao Guo, and now it falls into the hands of our Daxia, that is Daxia. If you have the ability, lead someone to take it. Just leave, just let this general see the means of your release! But listening to your preaching just now, huh…no wonder you are not Qin’s five tiger generals!”

Upon hearing this, he became angry and shouted: “Han Xin, if you have a seed, would you dare to come down for a fight?”

Han Xin smiled and said, “Are you stupid as a general? Why don’t you come up? If you have the courage, you can attack now. If you are not courageous, you should return to camp and set up a camp and wait for your reinforcements!”

“Haha…” Xia Guo’s soldiers laughed and laughed at Mengfang’s innocence.

This was so angry that he was so angry that he wanted to give an order to start the storm, but his 20,000 soldiers and horses really couldn’t get the city.

“Okay! Han Xin kid, after this general takes the atrium pass, you can still laugh out of you!” Meng Fang shouted angrily, and then turned his horse’s head back.

Next, Meng Fang ordered the soldiers and horses to start camping.

A large number of Qin troops are coming from all directions, so Mengfang needs to wait patiently, and the siege is in a hurry. However, Meng Tianfang also scratched his head. That is, Beishuguan was also under the occupation of the Xia army. Mengfang knew that this was Han Xin’s cunning rabbit three caves. He wanted to divide his troops into two ways, and at the same time take down the atrium and Beishu, but his troops were not strong. allow.

There are more than 700,000 Qin troops in the Dongqi area, and more than 300,000 are in Meng Yi’s place. He was given 60,000 yuan, but only 20,000 are left. The three passes have 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses. Only Nan Liguan was left. Tonglu County has 60,000 troops, Zhaodu County is the old Zhaodu City, with 80,000 troops, Dongqi County originally had 70,000 troops, and the rest was allocated to other counties.

So, if you count it, there are not many troops that can be deployed in the shortest time for Meng Fang. It would be nice if you can make up one hundred thousand at full play. Moreover, the soldiers and horses of Zhaodu County and Xichuan County are blocking Chen Qingzhi, and Meng Yi is farther away, more than thirty. Ten thousand troops are beyond reach.

Can one hundred thousand troops win the atrium gate guarded by twenty thousand Xia troops?

Meng Fang understood that even if it could be taken down, it would be piled up by Qin Jun’s corpses! But no way, the atrium must be taken down!

This night, the soldiers and horses of both sides had a good rest, knowing that this was the last time they fell asleep before the war.

Han Xin didn’t sleep, he was waiting for a letter from Eagle Falcon.

Meng released the atrium pass, and naturally did not pursue Dian Wei. According to Han Xin’s plan, Dianwei’s soldiers and horses had reached the vicinity of Nanli Pass, hiding them and waiting for the opportunity to come.

But now that his whereabouts have been exposed, it is hard to say whether Dianwei can approach Nanliguan, and Mengfang did not chase Dianwei, so he must send someone to follow him, and he also notified Nanliguan. Therefore, Dianwei’s environment is also very dangerous.

In the second half of the night, an eagle letter came.

Seeing the secret letter sent by Dianwei, Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Dianwei has hidden in the Qinling Mountains, only more than 20 miles away from Nanliguan. The scouts following him have been wiped out. Their whereabouts are very high. Safety.

So far.

Han Xin didn’t worry about the last thing he was worried about. The next step was to take a good fight. Whether he succeeded or failed, it depends on the result.

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers and horses released by the guard began to get busy, cutting bamboo to make ladders, and at the same time making simple ladders from wood. In the afternoon, Qin troops had arrived one after another. In the middle of the night, a large number of troops from Tonglu County arrived. Gathering in front of the atrium, looking at it from a distance, it is all the light of torches.

At this time, the atrium was closed and the torch was lit, like a fire dragon. I don’t know if the Qin army will attack tonight, so Han Xin ordered the soldiers to rest on the city.

At this time, Han Xin also received an eagle letter from Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi had already entered Xichuan County, but unfortunately he encountered obstacles by the Qin Army in Xichuan County, his speed was limited, and the time of possible assistance had to be postponed in the future.

This was expected by Han Xin.

The ugly time is over, everything is silent, only the sound of the summer wind blowing on the flag, wrinkling the torch.

At this moment, there was movement in the Meng Fang army barracks.

The Qin army began to file out from the barracks. The first batch of Qin army was a death squad. They carried ladders and carried shields on their backs. Their task was important and they had to lean the ladders against the wall!

Then came the archer, who relied on the bow and arrow to suppress the Xia army on the city wall, and provided cover for the infantry climbing behind him. At the same time, Qin Jun also brought the bed crossbow, relying on the terrible lethality of the bed crossbow to suppress the Xia army.

Next, there is the ladder.

At the same time, Meng Fang also specially arranged for the cooperation of shield players and infantry to excavate the soil and rock on the stairs of the city. Once the stairs were cleared, they could rush up from the stairs.

Meng Fang tried his best to win the atrium pass!

At this time the city was closed, the alert Xia Jun also noticed the enemy’s attack, and immediately warned with the sound of drums. Han Xin, who had just squinted for a while, woke up, walked out of the tower, and looked at the figures moving in the night, he shouted A cry: “Ready to go to war!”

In an instant, all Xia Jun became busy.

Hot oil, rolling logs, stones, and crossbows, all hiding behind the city wall, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Finally, Qin Jun arrived.

At a distance of more than two hundred meters, the archers of the Qin Army released their arrows, and the rain of arrows flew up and down, and landed on the city gate in a perfect parabolic way, in an attempt to injure the soldiers of Daxia.

Daxia soldiers immediately raised their shields for defense, and listened to the arrow feathers shooting on the shields, making a click, like a torrential rain hitting plantain.

At the same time, Qin Jun’s death squad rushed forward and began to erect the ladder.

Xia Jun began to counterattack. They leaned on the citadel of the city wall and fired bows and arrows from the citadel to shoot Qin Jun’s death squad. However, when one person was shot, Qin Jun rushed to replenish it, and began to attack desperately.

In this way, the night siege began.

As the commander-in-chief, Han Xin naturally didn’t need to take the lead. He just sat on the gate of the city and didn’t go anywhere. With him, Da Xia Erlang would have the backbone and be able to kill the enemy bravely.

It didn’t take long for the Qin Army to pile up a passage leaning on the corpses, and the infantry rushed up. They had already placed more than a dozen ladders on the city wall, and the Qin Army infantry began to climb.

Daxia soldiers threw hot oil and rolling logs down or fired crossbow arrows and attacked from a high altitude. The Qin army suffered heavy casualties. On the other hand, Daxia soldiers were killed and injured very few, all of them were injured by falling arrows.

The battle was fought until the sky was overwhelmingly bright, and the Qin army failed its first offensive. After retiring, the Qin army’s corpse was left behind.

Meng Fang asked about the number of deaths, more than 3,000 people and 4,000 casualties.

Knowing that the siege is difficult, this is the first time the attack is so tragic. If you want to successfully win the atrium pass, the difficulty can be imagined.

At this moment, Meng Fang felt that his heart became very cold, and he couldn’t help but be kind.

He looked at the lieutenant next to him and asked: “After an hour, continue to attack! After the Xia Jun’s bows, arrows, rolling logs, and hot oil are consumed, I see what defense they can use.”

“Yes!” The deputy general led the troops down to make arrangements.

Meng Fang looked at Bai Lie, the leader who had brought troops from Tonglu County.

The key lies in whether he can win the atrium pass.
