In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 86 So Fast

"The end will be punished!"

In Xianyang Palace, in front of a pool of clear water, Duke Mo knelt on the ground.

Gong Gong and Zhao Jun fought bloody for two days and nights, and finally lost Liyang due to the lack of troops.

At this moment, he had just rushed back from the front line, his armor was still intact, and he didn't even have time to clean up the blood on his face, so he was summoned into the palace by the King of Qin.

This was the first real battle between the Qin army and the coalition forces. Although it was hasty, the Qin army also worked hard.

The civil servants and military generals present all knew that the failure of Liyang could not be blamed on Mr. Mo, but they still wanted to know the true strength of the coalition forces from this veteran general.

After all, in the previous battles of the coalition forces, except for the two battles of Anyi and Puban, Pang Nuan put his mind into it, and didn't spend much effort on the rest.

However, in the two battles between Anyi and Puban, they were won by cleverness, and most of them were won by oddities.

But this time, it was the first time that the coalition army and the Qin army fought in an upright manner.

"How did Liyang get lost?"

King Qin's voice came from above the throne, and Duke Mo bowed his head, speaking truthfully.

"After receiving the military order, I rushed to Yueyang to rest and reorganize the camp to wait for the coalition forces."

"I thought that the coalition forces would arrive in Liyang at least one day before. Who knew that Zhao Shuang led three thousand elite cavalry to surprise our troops. Our army was unprepared. Zhao Shuang's elite cavalry pulled out all the strongholds outside Liyang City. Pang Nuan Lead the army in the rear, and storm Liyang City."

"What do you think of these two?"

"If the guilty minister leads an army against these two men, he has to defend from the fort, and he will lose in the field battle."

When Gong Gong said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.

"and"

Gong Gong seemed to have something to say, but King Qin saw it and asked.

"And what?"

"The end will be a slip of the tongue!"

Gong Gong bowed his hands, did not continue to speak, bowed his head and confessed.

"Be demoted to a rank, and join the army as a crime!"

In any case, losing Liyang City is a serious crime, and the punishment of King Qin won the hearts of all the generals present.

Gong Gong kowtowed, grateful in his heart.Although the twentieth rank of Daqin's military merit ranks, the more difficult it is to rise up, and it is unknown how much military merit it will take to make up for falling one rank, but this is a light punishment anyway.

"Sin will thank the King for His grace."

Then Lu Buwei stood up when Mr. Hu stepped down.

"Your Majesty, Liyang has been lost at this moment, and the military situation is urgent. Let me wait."

Before Lu Buwei finished speaking, an urgent horn sounded suddenly from outside the palace.

The ministers were terrified and turned around, only to see a cavalry sentry galloping from outside the palace gate, rushing to the outside of the palace, shouting loudly.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation."

"Go to the hall."

Lu Buwei waved his sleeve robe and recruited this person into the palace.

"what happened?"

"After the coalition forces captured Yueyang, they went down the Jushui River, and now the coalition forces' vanguard has reached the pinnacle."

"What did you say?"

"Pang Nuan mobilized large and small ships near Liyang, demolished the palace wood, and made boats and pontoons. Now [-] pioneers have arrived in Mincheng."

"So fast!"

Even with Lu Buwei's sophistication, it's hard to conceal the surprise in his heart at this moment, not to mention the civil servants and generals present here.

Only King Qin, who was sitting on the throne, remained calm with no expression on his face.

Min City!

This is a small city on the south bank of the Wei River. Compared with the big cities like Liyang, it is really inconspicuous.

It's just that this very small city blocked the only way for the coalition forces to pass, and it was also the key to the victory or defeat of the Qin army at this moment.

"How many times is this?"

Pang Nuan stood outside Mincheng, looking at the dangerous city pass in the distance, frowning slightly.

"Since our army arrived here half a day ago and launched an attack, this is the third attack."

"General, this city is dangerous and it will take time."

Pang Nuan nodded and replied in a deep voice.

"I'm waiting here. I must capture this city before Qin's reinforcements arrive, so that I can gain an advantage in the next battle."

Seventy miles to the west from here is Xianyang. Once you get to this city, you can reach the capital of Qin State in a day and night.

The Qin army deployed heavy troops in Gaoling, north of the Wei River, but now, Pang Nuan turned his troops around, bypassing the place where the Qin army was heavily stationed, and went straight into the heart of Qin.

Under the most advantageous situation, after the coalition forces took Mincheng, they went straight to Xianyang. Before the Qin army had assembled, Pang Nuanjun took Xianyang in one go, captured the Qin clan, and ended the war.

The worst situation was that before the coalition forces captured the city, the Qin army had already gathered here, thus bringing the war to a stalemate.

Pang Nuan had never underestimated Qin Jun, and he also knew that Lu Buwei was not an ordinary person.Therefore, he made up his mind from the beginning, after capturing the city, he would defeat the Qin army in a field battle.

Take Xianyang!

"Within three days, this city must be captured."

A flame flickered in Pang Nuan's eyes, making great contributions to the world, and this battle was the key.

He stood in front of the battle and personally supervised the army.

Beacon smoke has risen, and the battlements on the walls of the distant city have fallen off a lot under the attack of the coalition siege equipment.

The coalition's offensive was very fierce, and under Pang Nuan's order, there was no room left when they came up.

In the flames of war, the originally quiet mountain town looked like a wounded female animal.

"wrong!"

Pang Nuan did not personally supervise the two previous siege battles, but this time, he looked at it from the beginning and noticed something unusual.

"General, what's the matter?"

"The inability to take this city is not only due to the terrain."

Pang Nuan stroked his beard, his whole body restrained, and the emotions that were originally flamboyant had settled down, and became deep again.

"Who is the guard of this city?"

When Pang Nuan asked a question, the generals on the side all looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one could answer.

A general yelled at the captain behind him in a low voice.

"Go and check!"

Pang Nuan ignored the commotion around him, and looked into the distance, and there was a general of Qin standing on the city wall of Mincheng.

His face is not clear, but he is vaguely seen wearing a black armor, holding a spear, and his figure is as tall and straight as a mountain.

This Qin general was supervising the battle on the city wall, and in the midst of the beacon fire, he seemed to be winning in the courtyard.

The offensive of the coalition forces seemed violent, but under the command of this Qin general, every crisis was resolved by him one by one.

It is really not to be underestimated.

Just as this siege came to an end, the offensive of the coalition forces was once again defeated by the Qin army.The captain who was ordered just now turned around and brought back the information.

The general beside Pang Nuan held the bamboo scroll that recorded the captive's confession, and spread it out to search.

"General, according to the prisoners of the Qin army we captured, the guard of Mincheng was originally an attendant of the King of Qin. He was transferred here not long ago. He is an unknown person."

"It seems to be called Wang Jian!"

At this moment, the black-armored general who was standing on the city wall of Min City seemed to be aware of the situation here.His gaze looked at Pang Nuan who was under the banner.

At the moment when the eyes made slight contact, Pang Nuan seemed to have sensed something, stroked his beard, and said a word.

"Wang Jian!"
