my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 170

In the distance, Zhao Ying, who was waiting for the dawn to attack, saw the fire on the top of Heli Mountain that lit up half the sky in the distance, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his eyes, and jumped up directly.

"Pass me the order, the whole army is ready, set off immediately!"

It doesn't matter if the order changes from day to day, on the battlefield, opportunities are fleeting.Teammates have created opportunities for themselves. If they are stubborn and cannot seize them, then it is a real crime!

The fire on the top of Heli Mountain touched the heartstrings of many people.

No one needs to be notified, the nearby Yuezhi army will know that there is a big problem on Heli Mountain!

At this time, they no longer cared about the small calculations between the various tribes, and sent people to support them, not only the Yuezhi tribe living on the bottom of the nearby valley, but even the army responsible for guarding Ruoshui had to Draw out a part of the manpower.

If there is a mistake in Heli Mountain, there is no point in guarding Ruoshui!
For a moment, the horses neighed, the torches flickered, and Heli Mountain was the focus of attention.

Traveling day and night, King Zuoxian, who wished to give himself a pair of wings, had just passed Yanzhi Mountain. Before he reached the position of Zhangye in the later generations, he saw the fire on the top of the mountain that almost illuminated half of the sky from a distance.

A heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Sure enough, something happened!

At this moment, he was not in a hurry. He looked at the fire on the mountain in the distance, reined in, his eyes were deep, and he could not see any emotional fluctuations.

"Give me an order to recruit all the young men from nearby Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishuang, Pangdun, and Dumi ministries, and order them to come here to report within half an hour, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! The enemy, blocking the west of the Heihe—"

Just looking at the flames, he knew that even if he led someone to rush there at this time, it would be too late.

The enemy will not fight with weak water, but will only gnaw on the hard bone of Heli Mountain.

Now that Heli Mountain is lost, Ruoshui's side may be over too!

Let the enemy enter the Hexi Corridor, especially from Ruoshui and Heli Mountain. The entire Hexi Corridor is already equivalent to a little daughter-in-law who has taken off her clothes, and there is almost no natural danger to rely on.

In addition to the Heihe River, which is fairly fast-flowing in front of him, that is the dangerous mountain city not far behind.

In fact, if Zhao Ying were here, he would definitely find that what Zuo Xian Wang Yu Dun was counting on was the famous dangerous pass in the history of later generations.

Zhangye!

Since ancient times, it has been known as "the key of the Three Qin Dynasty, the throat of the five counties".

It looks at Qilian from a distance, with Heli on its back, Baicheng Mountain in front and Heihe River in the back. The narrowest part of the valley is only more than a hundred miles away. It is a natural scenic spot with Yanzhi Mountain not far away. fortress.

Although there is no such thing as five counties in this era, the Yue clan has its own civilization and can also build cities. Naturally, it can see the importance of this place, so it also built its own city here and deployed defensive forces. Known as the city of heaven.

However, because it is inside the Hexi Corridor, the scale of Tiancheng itself is not large.Of course, there may not be no nobles of the Yue family among them, who are worried that the power of the Guishuang tribe sitting here will become stronger and cut off their own retreat.

Yu Dun, the wise king of Zuo, has always been wise and wise, and when he saw that Heli Mountain was in danger, he made the most appropriate judgment in an instant.

Occupy the fortress of Tiancheng, and use the terrain to block the enemy to the west of Heihe!
Zuo Xianwang Yu Dun's army directly marched into Tiancheng, and took over the command of the defensive forces in the city.

Within the city of heaven.

"What, it was the Huns who attacked you?"

Zuo Xian Wang Yu Dun frowned, puzzled, he couldn't figure out why Touman would take this opportunity to attack them?To start a war against Daqin and Yueshi at the same time, could he be insane!
But those who fled from Mount Heli

Looking at the map in front of him, he pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the nobles of the Guishuang tribe.

"You guys, immediately lead the warriors of the clan to block this canyon on Mount Heli!"

Several nobles from the Guishuang tribe reluctantly went down after hearing the words.

It is simply redundant.

That canyon, the mountains and Cuiwei, are rugged and difficult to walk. Walking during the day may fall off the cliff. The Huns chose to walk through that canyon in the middle of the night when they lost their minds!
The Guishuang tribe was already somewhat excluded among the Yuezhi, otherwise the drudgery of guarding Tiancheng would not be their responsibility.At this time, Yu Dun, the virtuous king of the left, directly took away the control of Tiancheng, and he had to go to Heli Mountain Canyon to deploy defenses in the middle of the night.

The dissatisfaction in my heart can be imagined.

After tossing for a long time, I reluctantly got up.

"These idiots are clearly sabotaging their work and are dissatisfied with their father!"

The eldest son of Yu Dun, the virtuous king of Zuo, looked at the army of the Guishuang tribe who was reluctant to get up after dawdling for more than half an hour, and couldn't help expressing his dissatisfaction to his father.

Zuo Xian Wang Yu Dun shook his head lightly.

"Be safe and don't be impatient, now is the time for employing people, don't make extra troubles..."

However, as he said this, he looked at the backs of the few Guishuang nobles leaving, but there was an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.

After taking over the command of Tiancheng, Zuo Xianwang Yu Dun did not dare to rest.

Immediately, he sent someone to report the situation on Yuezhi's side, and then took his own son to personally inspect Tiancheng and redeploy the defenses. At the same time, he sent his cronies to fly to Yanzhi Mountain to inform the Yuezhi general Yu He who was guarding there. Prepare him for the enemy.

……

Just when Zuo Xianwang Yu Dun was mobilizing the nearby forces of the Yuezhi tribes in full swing, preparing to rely on Heihe and Tiancheng to fight the "Huns" to the death.

Zhao Ying has led the army directly and forcefully broke through the defense line arranged by the Huns in the upper reaches of the weak water.

The whole process is simple and unrepeatable.

Zhao Ying personally led Fan Kui and other dozens of personal guards to the camp first, taking advantage of Han Xin and Meng Zhan's making noise in Heli Mountain and attracting the attention of General Ruoshui, through the telescope, he confirmed the defense status of the Yuezhi people Afterwards, taking advantage of the darkness, after lurking past, they directly raided a garrisoned Yuezhi team.

In this line of defense, a gap was successfully torn open.

But the Yuezhi people realized that by the time they wanted to counterattack, it was already too late.Wearing armor and holding the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd, Zhao Ying was like a bug on the battlefield.

Every time the Tianlong City Breaking Halberd was swung, flesh and blood would fly all over the place, clearing the field aside. Within ten meters around him, there was not a single complete corpse, just like hell on earth.

In the end, let alone coming to fight, as soon as he saw him, everyone was afraid that he would not be able to avoid him in time.

This situation completely collapsed after Zhao Ying pulled out the five-stone strong bow on his back, fired three arrows in a row, and shot and killed the noble general guarding this place at a distance of more than 200 steps.

In the dark night, whoever shouted, those soldiers who had been frightened by Zhao Ying immediately dispersed.

Behind Wang Li led the army, took advantage of the situation to make a surprise attack, and after half an hour, he completely gained his footing.

The whole process went so smoothly that Zhao Ying himself was a little dumbfounded.

Here is where the Xiongnu entered the Hexi Corridor. Such an important place, with such a small force, not even a decent fortification?
In fact, what he doesn't know is that not all ethnic groups can build the Great Wall and build powerful fortifications like the ethnic groups in the Central Plains.

This gorge between Heishan and Helishan is not only quite wide, but also separated by two tributaries of the weak water, the Heihe River and the Koolai River.To build a beacon line of the Great Wall and a barrier pavilion that spans two rivers and connects two mountains, for the Yuezhi, no matter whether it is manpower, material resources, or experience and technology, there is nothing they can do.

The only thing they can do is deploy enough manpower here.

For this reason, they arranged four or five small tribes attached to the Yuezhi here.They wanted to arrange the big tribes of Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishuang, Pangdun, and Dumi, but these big tribes were all nobles of the Yuezhi family. Who would take this kind of drudgery?

We are all smart people, each with their own calculations.

If we really work together and arrange this place like a fortified wall, Maodun Shanyu a few years later will not be able to enter from here.

How could they need to move westward in embarrassment and give up this natural barrier?

In fact, in this situation, it was not until the Han Dynasty that the four prefectures in Hexi were set up and the Great Wall was built between the two mountains, which turned this place into a natural danger that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

On that day, guarding the country is never just relying on the danger of the mountains and rivers.

When the Central Plains is weak, or when they kill each other, what should be lost here must be lost...

However, these are not issues that Zhao Ying should consider now. After entering the Hexi Corridor, he will immediately face another choice.

One, marching westward, taking advantage of the fact that the Yuezhi people have not reacted, went straight to Jiayuguan, which is known as the first pass in the world, not to cut off the retreat of the Yuezhi people, so that the Europeans called it God Zhiyan's ethnic group disappeared completely, but to open the door to the Western Regions to prevent the Yue clan from seizing this fortress and causing trouble to get through the Western Regions.

Of course, at this time, there is no Jiayuguan, but Zhao Ying believes that the Yuezhi people are not stupid, and they must have deployed defensive forces there.

The second is to take advantage of the trend, take Yanzhi Mountain directly, sweep the Hexi Corridor, open up the passage between Daqin and the Western Regions, and formally bring the four counties of Hexi into the territory of Daqin.

He had planned this purpose for a long time.

It is a very important node when he wants to shake history and change his destiny.

In previous life forums, people often said that in order to change the fate of Great Qin, all they needed to do was give the First Emperor a map of the world. Although it was not that exaggerated in fact, it might not be unreasonable.

In the previous life, if the First Emperor directly took over the Hexi Corridor and opened up the connection with the Western Regions, with the temperament of the First Emperor, he might not be able to resist the desire to expand the territory.

And once you use troops against the Western Regions.

The aristocrats of the six kingdoms of Shandong can enjoy the benefits of military merit and ranks together with the old Qin people, and get a channel for advancement. The foreign war can also best divert internal conflicts and give Great Qin a few years of respite.

It is a pity that Emperor Shihuang failed to capture the Hexi Corridor, nor did he live for a few more years.

The huge empire fell into the hands of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and within a few years, it disappeared, fulfilling Liu Dating, who had wasted most of his life.

The most important thing is that, as far as the current situation of Daqin is concerned, if he wants to gain credit for expanding the territory and gain a firm foothold in the army and the court, the most realistic thing is to win the Hexi Corridor.

Great Qin is the most important military service, and with such a credit, I can really rely on my own strength to have my own voice in Great Qin, instead of just relying on the favor of the first emperor like now.

"My lords, it's time for you to make contributions and make your name go down in history! Come with me, go straight to Yanzhi Mountain, open up the Hexi Corridor, seal your wife and son, today!"

Zhao Ying stopped drinking, and the crowd cheered up.

The army set off and followed the trend.

Although Jiayuguan is like a little girl who has taken off her clothes, he is ready to move and salivate, but compared to capturing Jiayuguan, the most important thing is to join hands with Han Xin and others smoothly, and then take Yanzhi Mountain and open up the Hexi Corridor.

If Han Xin fell into a solitary battle because of this, and the loss was here, then he would really lose the big because of a small one.

The Hexi Corridor has been opened up, and with Han Xin around, Jiayuguan is always available. Without Han Xin, in this era, where can I find such a soldier fairy.

However, when he led his people to the foot of Mount Heli, he only saw the deserters of the Yue clan fleeing in all directions, but not the slightest sign of Han Xin and Meng Zhan.

Immediately there was a toothache.

These two, can't play a card according to the routine——

Just when he complained about Han Xin and Meng Zhan, the two right-hand men, Han Xin and Meng Zhan, led by the Xiongnu soldiers, walked along the Heli Mountain Canyon and directly bypassed Tiancheng...

By the time the Guishuang tribe's people rushed to the canyon, they didn't want to eat farts anymore.

Looking at the traces of the army passing by in front, this time, the general of the Guishuang tribe who came to intercept him no longer had a sore waist, no pain in his legs, and he could not even feel the biting cold wind on Heli Mountain.

"Chase--"

If you really let the "Huns" go around here, people like yourself will just wait to die!
Not to mention others, but as for the insidious and cunning King Zuo Xian who must take revenge, he will never let himself go.

"Hurry up--"

The figures in front were not far away, and there was still time for everything. The Guishuang tribe led the young and strong in the chase, but the "Huns" in front seemed to have spotted the pursuers, and the marching speed was significantly accelerated.

Not only has the marching speed been accelerated, but it also seems to be quite flustered, and the supplies discarded by the other party can be seen from time to time along the way.Although it is worthless, most of them are small things commonly used by the Huns, but this shows that the army of the Huns is in a panic.

They are most likely just an advance team of the Huns!
Thinking of this, several Guishuang leaders immediately looked at each other, and they all saw the excitement in each other's eyes.The opportunity to make meritorious deeds has come, brothers——

PS: Thanks to the book friends who may not have given a reward of 500 starting coins for their support, and thanks to the book friend Hongxue enthusiast Lang Junqing for their support of 300 starting coins!
The Battle of Heli Mountain was originally designed for Han Xin to fight a small-scale ambush. Everyone should have seen the author's intention, but the author temporarily thought that Meng Zhan should also make some contributions. After all, there is still him in the later stage. Very important arrangement.So, he made temporary adjustments and arranged a fire horse array for him, which was really not well thought out.

But there is no way to adjust it.

It should be considered barely feasible. After all, the most important thing about the fire horse array may not be whether you can think of it, but that you are reluctant to part with so many war horses... Anyway, the deal is done. :)
