Poor Ghost Up and Down 2000

The soldiers of the Han army hurried forward to cut off the rope of the hook lock, but the head of the hook lock was made of animal tendons soaked in water and dried very firmly. At the time, most of the fallen troops had already safely landed on the ground below the city and retreated safely.

Gu Nan swept away a group of soldiers and stepped on the ladder, and the ladder slowly retreated from the city under the push of the soldiers.

The Qin army retreated, leaving only the Han army on the top of the city to stand there and gasp for a while, and then fell down and sat in a pool of blood on the ground. No one wanted to stand anymore. After an hour of fighting, they were already exhausted.

Han Jiang glanced complicatedly at the receding Qin Bing, stood on the sword, sat down on the spot, took a few breaths, and his face regained some blood.

He couldn't understand Qin Jun's intentions, but he had to understand that with Cheng Gao's current strength, it was absolutely impossible to defend Qin Jun.

"Come on!"

A soldier came up wearily in response: "My lord."

"I'll sketch a military slip, and you send it to the capital immediately, asking for help!"

"Yes."

Chapter 128: I'm so tired, I can't see the end

The purpose of this battle was to put pressure on the King of Han. In the middle of the night, a spy went to the Chinese army to report back. It is not clear what the specific report was, but I heard that a cavalry army left Chenggao Pass overnight and headed northwest.

If there is no accident, it should be Cheng Gao's request for help from King Han. If so, then the goal of this battle has been achieved.

Veteran Meng has received the news that Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei has begun to attack Zhou.

As long as Zhou is breached, King Han's bargaining chip will only be Wei Guo. At that time, in order to divert the attack of the Qin army, King Han will definitely hand over Cheng Gao.

Gu Nan sat in front of the bonfire, the flames made the firewood crackle and sputtered a few sparks from time to time.

It is also difficult for her to know the specific news of these military planes, she just knows a general idea, if there is no accident, they only need to surround Cheng Gao and wait quietly for a period of time in the future.

Attacks in the Warring States period are not always about fighting, sometimes it depends on the game of those in power.

This Chenggao battle was just a game between King Qin and King Han.

There were bursts of whispers coming from the barracks not far away, and it was hard to hear what they were talking about.

A group of people gathered around several people on the ground.

In this battle, six people were killed and 18 people were injured, one of them was seriously injured.

When evacuating, an arrow passed directly through his chest, but it didn't pierce his heart, so he didn't have to die on the spot.

But it also hurt the lungs, the lungs penetrated, and the blood flow continued. After seeing it, the military doctor could only shake his head.

The seriously injured man was lying on the ground, his breath getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't even cough.

Looking at the comrades around him, he gave a wry smile with a hoarse voice.

"Give it a good time..."

Everyone was silent, and the last person stood up, covered his eyes with one hand, and stabbed him in the heart with a dagger in the other.

The man's body softened, and then there was no more sound.

······

There were four corpses lying on the school grounds. They took off their shoes and armor, and were dressed in civilian clothes, lying among a pile of dry firewood.

Not all of the dead were found.

The stragglers held torches and surrounded the four people in the middle.

One person stepped forward and lit the firewood with the torch in his hand, and the flames swayed endlessly in the night sky.

It illuminates everyone's faces, and the long shadows that drag beneath them.

The whole trapped camp was like daylight in the firelight.

Gu Nan sat aside, took a small firewood and threw it into the bonfire in front of him.

"Go on."

In the flames, the small firewood was quickly burned into charred dry carbon.

Everyone is just a small firewood, in this fierce and chaotic world, it can only be burned into coke and turned into ashes.

————————————————————

In the next month, amidst the anxiety of Han Jun, Qin Jun never attacked the city again, but seemed to be waiting for something.

Similarly, there was no news of King Han's reinforcements for a long time, and the request for reinforcements sent was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response.

Until one month later, a message came.

Qin Changxinhou led tens of thousands of troops, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed.

What came one after another to Han Jun was the order of the King of Han.

Cheng Gao and the Han army in Xingyang retreated for thirty miles.

King Han finally couldn't bear the pressure and chose to cede land for peace.

The city defenders in Chenggao Pass were in a daze when they received such a letter, and some even laughed out loud.

If I knew this earlier, what was the reason for working so hard at that time?

Isn't it ridiculous?

After all, the Han army retreated, and then the Qin army stationed by the river in January entered the city.

Chenggao Pass, which was supposed to be a pass of natural danger, was wide open at this time, and there was no defense at all.

One hundred thousand troops entered the city along the closed gate, and all the people on both sides of the city's streets hid in their houses.Even one or two people who are occasionally on the street, when they see the approaching army, shrink back and dare not say anything.

As a former soldier, Gu Nan rode on Brother Hei's back, led the battle, and entered the city before the army.

Passing through the streets paved with bluestone slabs, the houses on both sides are closed.

Suddenly I saw a child in ragged clothes standing in the middle of the road, looking at the slowly approaching army at a loss.

Gu Nan froze for a moment, raised his hand and the army stopped.

She jumped off Brother Hei and walked up to the kid.

The half of the face exposed outside the armor tried to pull out a kind smile, but the face was tense for a month, and the smile was a little stiff.
