Chapter 662
Chapter 659 : Sneak attack is not successful, then c
The Bai family and the Meng family are the two pillars of the Qin State, known for their loyalty and bravery. They are similar to the Zhang family and the Ye family of the Xia State, both of which are military commanders.
The Qin emperors of the past dynasties have a good trust in the generals of these two families, and a good general must be experienced from an early age. Generals like Han Xin who were born at the level of soldiers are scarce, and more of them are accomplished by experience like Guo Ziyi.
Bai Lie, the youngest general in the line of the Bai family, even though he was only twenty-two years old, he was already ranked fourth and commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In addition, he defeated Zhao Guo with Baimeng before and fought some victories, so he was more proud.
As Bai Meng returned to the capital of Qin, he gave Meng Yi the power of commanding troops in the Dongqi area. Meng Yi was also very concerned about Bai Lie, and because of his concern, he wanted to beat his arrogance, so he led his troops to station in Tonglu. County, did not go to the east and north.
This made Bai Lie very upset, feeling that he was useless, what good was it to stay in the hinterland of Tonglu County, besides training, it was training!
Unexpectedly, Han Xin passed through Tonglu County and entered Shanyuan County. This slap slammed on the face of this young and energetic young general.
Although Han Xin deceived all the generals including Meng Yi and Meng Liu, Bai Lie felt that he had been insulted the most. Therefore, when the news reached his ears, he did not wait for Meng Yi’s transfer order to be issued, so he rectified his troops and rushed over, which is why he rushed so quickly.
And now, the late-night attack has suffered a disastrous defeat, with heavy casualties, which proves that Bai Lie and Meng Fang are worried that they really have to rely on the lives of soldiers to accumulate if they want to win the Atrium Pass.
So Bai Lie thought hard, could he think of other ways to win the Atrium Pass?
At this time, only Meng Fang and Bai Lie were in the military account.
Meng Fang looked at Bai Lie and asked, “Bai Lie, is your plan feasible?”
Bai Lie nodded and said: “I have sent someone to investigate, it is feasible! This will be the best way for us to win the city and reduce losses!”
As he said, Bai Lie laid out the topographical map of Zhongting Pass, pointed to the Qinling Mountains in the south of the pass, and said: “The Zhongting Pass stretches for more than ten miles, extending to the peaks on both sides. The people I sent carefully investigated both sides. The mountain is steep and dangerous. It is not easy to climb, not to mention the horse-drawn carriage and the heavy lifting. However, not easy to climb does not mean that it cannot be climbed. We can send agile dead men from the southern peak to the atrium and close it once dead. The soldiers went to the pass and attacked from the southern end, which would inevitably affect the entire Xia army and affect the minds of the Xia army. When we continue to attack from the front, it will be easy to win the atrium pass.”
Meng Fang pointed to the northern end and asked, “Can you send dead men to climb from the northern end?”
Bai Lie shook his head and said, “No! There are huge boulders at the north end, the mountain is steep, and the height is 34 meters, making it more difficult to climb.”
Meng Fang is a bit regretful. If both ends can attack at the same time, the effect will be better.
“General Meng, the humble general led the dead men to perform this mission!” At this moment, Bai Lie said suddenly.
After hearing it, he immediately shouted: “No! This mission is very dangerous. Once you go up, you are bound to be madly besieged by Xia Jun. The dead are using their lives to contain the enemy and create opportunities for us to attack. It is ten deaths. Wusheng, if something happens to you, how can I explain it to General Meng and Bai’s parents?”
Bai Lie argued: “As a general, if you can’t take the lead, who will die? These dead soldiers are also Qin army. They also have parents, wives, children and brothers. As a general, I must set an example. And as a soldier, I will die on the battlefield. It’s glory, why the Shroud of Horse Leather! General Meng, my heart is determined, we must win this battle! We must win the Atrium Pass, and then quickly win the Beishu Pass, otherwise we will continue to delay. When Xia Guo’s reinforcements arrive, we will be considered dead. Martyrdom is also a sinner!”
Meng Fang gritted his teeth, knowing that what Bai Lie was saying was the truth.
“Good!” Meng Fang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed.
Bai Lie was overjoyed and said with a smile: “Thank you General! That humble job is going to select soldiers!”
After all, Bai Lie hurried to pick people, and finally picked eight hundred agile soldiers.
After an hour, Mengfang began to attack the city again.
Bai Lie also took the opportunity to lead the eight hundred dead soldiers from the back into the Qinling Mountains in the south.
Han Xin sits above the city gate, in the middle of the entire gate. He naturally didn’t know the strategy of Meng Fang and Bai Lie, but Han Xin was known as a soldier, and any subtle changes in the battlefield could not escape his vision.
The strategy of Meng’s release is interval attack. Although this method will lose troops, it can consume a large amount of Xia’s arrow feathers, rolling stones and other defensive weapons. When these shooting and throwing attacks are almost used, then Xia’s advantage will be lost. A majority.
The second storm that is now being released is also for this purpose.
However, in the second storm, Han Xin noticed a very subtle change.
The first attack was to attack on both sides of the city gate, but for the second time, the attack position had been moved to the south. It seemed that he wanted to clear the stairs on the south side first, which was not obtrusive.
As for anyone, he didn’t think there was a problem, but Han Xin took a long time.
This second assault still ended in Qin Jun’s failure, leaving behind another area of Qin Jun’s corpse. At the same time, Xia Jun’s arrow feathers, rolling stones, etc. were also consumed in large quantities. At this rate, he would have to fight hand-to-hand if he could not insist on the arrival of reinforcements.
It was another hour, and the Qin Army attacked again.
This time, the attacking position of the Qin Army moved a little further to the south.
“Interesting, interesting…” Han Xin smiled mysteriously, with a complete look on his chest.
The third attack was also extremely tragic, and in the end it was still Qin’s defeat. However, Meng Fang saw hope, because an infantryman almost climbed the gate, which showed that the balance of victory began to tilt.
But today, Meng Fang did not continue to attack.
Because of three consecutive failures, Qin Jun’s military heart has been distracted, and he needs to beat the soldiers to regain their determination.
At the same time, he looked towards the southern mountain range. What is Bai Lie’s situation at this moment?
At this time, Bai Lie led eight hundred dead soldiers into the mountain and was climbing the steepest mountain in the middle. After climbing this mountain, he could climb to the courtyard and close it. The Xia Army’s forces are mostly concentrated in the middle position, with the least force on both sides. As long as Bai Lie kills Shangchengguan, it can create a lot of chaos for Xia Army.
So Bai Lie was very excited. He led the dead man to climb the mountain, then sneaked along the ridge on the mountain, and finally came to the southern end of Zhongtingguan.
Looking up at the atrium gate above, there was only the flickering light of the torch, and there was no other movement. It seems that the Xia Jun above is resting. This area has extended to the mountain. It is impossible for the Qin Army to attack from here, so Xia Jun’s vigilance is naturally not high.
Because it is built on a mountain peak, the height of the city gate here is limited, only four meters, and it can be climbed up with the help of ropes.
However, it was not an opportunity to do it now. Bai Lie asked his men to hide in the woods and eat some dry food. According to the time agreed by him and Meng Fang, he did it when the sky was slightly bright. Now it is inconvenient because of the black light.
Gradually, the eastern land was slightly translucent, with light tearing through the darkness.
Bai Lie woke up from the rest and looked at the time. When it was the time agreed with Mengfang, he believed that he was ready to attack at any time.
It’s time for him to perform Bai Lie.
Bai Lie asked his subordinates to erect the wall, and he climbed up, slowly revealing his eyes, observing the situation on the wall.
I saw the wide city gate, Xia Guo’s soldiers rested against the wall. There were not many people, hundreds of them, and more people stayed in the middle section. There was black and heavy, one next to each other.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the sky, Bai Lie gently jumped onto the city gate, and immediately waved his hand, and the dead men below also climbed up, and after a while, more than a dozen people came up.
Just when Bai Lie thought the plan was successful, not far away, about ten meters away, a few Xia Jun who was resting holding a shield suddenly violent.
They even carried Zhuge Liannu in their hands, hidden under the shield.
The Xia Guo soldier who stood up pointed Zhuge Liannu at Bai Lie and the dead soldier behind him, and then shot.
Whoosh whoosh…
The last second Bai Lie was still happy, and the next second he was frightened by Xia Jun who jumped to attack, and his whole body trembled, and the flying crossbow arrows greeted him.
Before he could react and dodge, three crossbow arrows hit him.
“No! It’s an ambush!”
The dead soldier behind Bai Lie roared, and immediately dragged Bai Lie to leave, but how could the Daxia Warriors let them do what they wanted?
Several Daxia warriors even carried the gunpowder bag in their hands. At this time, they ignited directly and threw them toward Bai Lie and the others.
Boom…
Several dead men were directly blown out by the impact force, fell down the city gate, and rolled down the cliff.
In an instant, Bai Lie and the dead soldiers who climbed up all lay on the ground, dead and wounded.
After that, Daxia’s soldiers rushed forward, stood on the top and shot down the dead Qin’s soldiers. They hid in the city gate and fled naturally at this time. Once panicked, he fell from the mountain, or was shot dead by a crossbow bolt.
Bai Lie’s Confident Eight Hundred Dead Men Project was destroyed.
Bai Lie was very lucky. Although he had three arrows in his body and was wounded by gunpowder, he was not dead yet and was framed to see Han Xin.
Han Xin gritted his teeth when he saw that Bai Lie was seriously injured. Without making a sound of pain, he smiled: “I would respect you as a man, what is your name?”
Bai Lie stared at Han Xin, gritted his teeth and said, “If you can change your name or sit down, you can’t change your surname, Bai family, Bai Lie!”
Han Xin raised his brows and smiled even more: “It turned out to be the leader of the young and middle-aged generation of the Bai family. I didn’t expect to catch a big fish!”
At this moment, Meng Fang had already launched an attack on the atrium gate, but the scouts he sent out did not find the chaos at the southern end.
Meng Fang felt anxious, where did Bai Lie go?
Soon, Han Xin asked Bai Lie to go out, letting the anxious Meng Fang know where Bai Lie had gone. It turned out to be a guest at the enemy’s place.
Seeing Bai Lie’s body covered in blood, he was shocked, and immediately retreated. The attack was interrupted.
