The system forced me to be emperor

Han Xin smiled and said, "Are you stupid to be the general? Why don't you come up? If you have the guts, you can attack now. If you don't have the guts, you'd better go back and set up camp, waiting for your reinforcements!"

"Haha..." Xia Guo soldiers all laughed, mocking Meng Fang's innocence.

This was so angry that Meng Fang was extremely furious. He really wanted to give an order to start a strong attack, but he really couldn't take the city gate with [-] troops.

"Okay! Han Xin, after this general wins the Atrium Pass, I'll see if you can still smile!" Meng Fang shouted angrily, then turned his horse's head and returned.

Next, Meng Fang ordered the soldiers and horses to set up camp.

A large number of Qin troops are coming from all directions, so Meng Fang needs to wait patiently, and there is no rush to attack the city.However, Meng Tianfang was also scratching his head, that is, the Beishu Pass was also occupied by the Xia army. Meng Fang knew that this was Han Xin's cunning trick, and he really wanted to divide his troops into two groups and take the Atrium and the Beishu Pass at the same time, but the strength was insufficient. allow.

There are more than 30 Qin troops in the Dongqi area, and more than [-] are in Meng Yi's place. He Meng Fang originally had [-], and only [-] were left after the loss. The Sanguan originally had [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, which were also lost. Only Nanliguan is left.Tonglu County had [-] troops, Zhaodu County was the old Zhao capital with [-] troops, Dongqi County originally had [-] to [-] troops, and the rest were allocated to other counties.

So calculated in this way, there are not many troops that Meng Fang can mobilize in the shortest time, and it would be good to make up 30 troops at full strength. Moreover, the soldiers and horses of Zhaodu County and Xichuan County are blocking Chen Qingzhi, and Meng Yi is farther away, more than [-] The strength of the troops is beyond reach.

Can [-] troops take down the atrium pass guarded by [-] Xia troops?

Meng Fang understood that even if it could be taken down, it would be up to Qin Jun to pile up the corpses!But there is no way, the atrium pass must be taken down!

That night, the soldiers and horses on both sides had a good rest, knowing that this was the last time they would sleep soundly before the war.

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

Meng Fang came to Zhongting Pass, so naturally he didn't pursue Dian Wei.According to Han Xin's plan, Dian Wei's soldiers and horses had already touched the vicinity of Nanli Pass, hiding and waiting for the time to come.

But now that his whereabouts have been exposed, it is hard to say whether Dian Wei will be able to approach Nanliguan, and Meng Fang did not pursue Dianwei, so he must have sent someone to follow him, and at the same time notified Nanliguan.Therefore, Dian Wei's environment is also very dangerous.

In the middle of the night, the eagle letter came.

Seeing the secret letter sent by Dian Wei, Han Xin heaved a sigh of relief. Dian Wei has already hidden in the Qinling Mountains, only 20 miles away from Nanli Pass. The scouts following him have been wiped out, and their whereabouts are safe. .

This is the end.

Han Xin didn't worry about the last thing he was worried about. The next thing is to fight hard. Whether he succeeds or fails depends on the result.

In the early morning of the next day, Mengfang's soldiers and horses began to get busy, cutting down bamboo to make climbing ladders, and at the same time making simple ladders with wood. In the afternoon, Qin troops had already arrived one after another. Gathering in front of the atrium gate, looking from a distance, they are all the light of torches.

At this time, the atrium was closed and the torches were 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 the eagle letter from Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi had already entered Xichuan County, but unfortunately, he was blocked by the Qin army in Xichuan County, and his speed was limited, so the time for assistance might have to be postponed.

This was within Han Xin's expectation.

The time of ugliness has passed, and everything is silent, only the sound of the summer wind blowing to the banner, wrinkling the torch.

At this moment, there was movement in the Mengfang barracks.

The Qin army began to file out from the barracks. The first batch of Qin troops were death squads. They carried ladders and shields on their backs. Their task was heavy, and they had to lean the ladders against the city wall!

Then came the archers, who relied on bows and arrows to suppress the Xia army on the city wall and provide cover for the climbing infantry behind them.At the same time, Qin Jun also brought bed crossbows, relying on the terrible lethality of bed crossbows, suppressed Xia Jun.

Next, is the ladder.

At the same time, Meng Fang also specially arranged for shield players and infantry to cooperate to excavate the earth and rocks on the stairs of the city. Once the stairs are cleared, they can rush up from the stairs.

In order to win the Atrium Gate, Meng Fang tried his best!

At this time, the city gate was closed, and the vigilant Xia Jun also noticed the enemy's attack, and immediately issued a warning with the sound of drums. Han Xin, who had just squinted for a while, woke up startled, walked out of the city tower, and then looked at the moving figures in the night, he yelled One voice: "Ready to go to war!"

In an instant, all Xia Jun became busy.

Hot oil, rolling logs, stones, crossbows, one by one hid behind the city wall, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Finally, Qin Jun arrived.

At a distance of more than 200 meters, the archers of the Qin Army released arrows, and the rain of arrows flew up and down in the sky, falling to the city gate in a perfect parabola, in an attempt to hurt the soldiers of Daxia.

The soldiers of Daxia immediately raised their shields to defend, and heard the arrow feathers shoot on the shield, making a rattling sound, like a rainstorm hitting plantains.

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

Xia Jun began to counterattack. They leaned their backs on the crenels of the city wall, fired bows and arrows from the crenels, and shot and killed the death squads of the Qin army.However, he shot and killed one person, and Qin Jun rushed up to make up for it, and began to attack desperately.

In this way, the siege battle in the night began.

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

It didn't take long for the Qin army to pile up a passage with the corpses, and the infantry rushed up. They had built more than a dozen ladders on the city wall, and the Qin army infantry began to climb.

The soldiers of Daxia threw hot oil and rolling logs, or fired crossbow arrows, and attacked from a high position. The Qin army suffered heavy casualties.

This battle lasted until dawn, Qin Jun's first attack failed, and after retreating, Qin Jun's corpses were left all over the place.

Meng Fang asked about the number of deaths in battle, more than 3000 people, and [-] casualties.

Knowing how difficult it is to siege the city, this is the first time the attack is so tragic. It is conceivable how difficult it is to successfully win the Atrium Pass.

At this moment, Meng Fang felt that his heart had become very cold, and he couldn't help being kind.

He looked at the lieutenant beside him and asked, "After an hour, continue to attack! After the Xia army's bows and arrows, rolling logs, and hot oil are exhausted, I'll see what defense they have."

"Yes!" The deputy general went down to make arrangements.

Meng Fang looked at the commander Bai Lie who led the troops from Tonglu County again.

Whether you can win the Atrium Pass or not depends on this person.

Chapter 659: Captured if the sneak attack fails

The Bai family and the Meng family are the two pillars of the Qin state, known for their loyalty and bravery, similar to the Zhang family and the Ye family of the Xia state, both of which are families of generals.

The Qin emperors of all dynasties had good trust in the generals of these two families, and an excellent general must have been experienced since childhood. Generals like Han Xin who were born at the level of soldiers are very rare, and more are achieved through experience like Guo Ziyi.

Bai Lie, the youngest general in the direct line of the Bai family, even though he is only 22 years old, he is already ranked fourth rank, commanding tens of thousands of troops.In addition, he followed Bai Meng to destroy the Zhao country and won some victories, so he is quite proud.

And when Bai Meng returned to Qindu, he handed over the command of the Dongqi area to Meng Yi. Meng Yi was also very concerned about Bai Lie, and because of his concern, he wanted to beat his arrogance, so he let him lead the troops to garrison in Tonglu Shire, did not go east and north.

This made Bai Lie very upset, he felt that he was useless, what was the use of staying in Tonglu County in the hinterland, other than practice, it was practice!

Unexpectedly, Han Xin crossed Tonglu County and entered Shanyuan County, and this slap fell hard on the face of this young and vigorous young general.

Although Han Xin deceived all the generals including Meng Yi and Meng Fang, Bai Lie felt that he was the most insulted.So when the news reached his ears, he did not wait for Meng Yi's order to be issued, so he rectified his troops and rushed over, which is why he came so quickly.

But now, the late-night attack suffered a disastrous defeat, with heavy casualties, which proved the worries of Bai Lie and Meng Fang. If they want to win the Atrium Gate, they really have to rely on the lives of soldiers.

So Bai Lie thought hard, could he think of other ways to win the Atrium Pass?
