On the day the empress ascended the throne, my body was hung at the city gate

Chapter 70 I have a clever idea for a chain link

"General Meng, the agreed half-month time limit has expired. Instruct the soldiers below to pack their things and prepare to return to Xianyang."

"Your Majesty has other arrangements."

Time is fleeting.

Zhao Gao once again came to the front line with King Qin's will.

Brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi still have sad faces, and Mr. Zhuge Kongming seems to have aged by dozens of years during this time.

With Gu Changsheng sitting in the formation, Da Zhou's defense was completely invulnerable.

Occupying the pass of Hangu Pass, with powerful crossbows at the rear, we only defend but do not attack.

No matter how provocative they were during this period, the main force of Da Zhou was not fooled at all and made up their mind to fight them for a long time. Even if they tried their best, it was difficult to defeat them.

It is simply impossible to win this level in one month.

"The command of the last general."

The King of Qin had spoken in front of him, and even though Meng Tian felt unwilling to do so, he could only obey the order.

"Damn it, victory is clearly right in front of us."

After a whole month of hard work, Meng Yi clenched his fists and felt extremely angry as he saw the hope of returning to modern times disappear.

"Brother, are you really so willing to give up?"

into the night.

The two brothers Meng Yi and Meng Tian gathered in the camp.

Meng Yi looked at his elder brother and said in a hurry: "You know, as long as we take the Hangu Pass, our army can go straight into the hinterland of Zhou Kingdom. If we retreat like this, it will be difficult to find the same opportunity again."

"Oh, how come I don't know."

Meng Tian took a deep breath: "It's just that since the Holy One has spoken..."

"Brother...you..."

Meng Yi opened his mouth to say something else, but ended up choking on his mouth.

He suddenly realized that it was not easy to persuade Meng Tian to disobey the will.

The thinking of people in this era is different from that of modern times. Loyalty to the emperor and service to the country are paramount.

Disobeying the imperial edict was equivalent to betraying one's own beliefs for ancient people like Meng Tian.

Since you won't fight, then I will.

Meng Yi didn't speak, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

Ever since I learned that he and Zhao Gao were not the only two time travelers in the world.

Meng Yi was convinced of his identity as the savior.

He is the one chosen by God, and his mission in this era is to correct history, help King Qin unify the world, sweep across the six kingdoms, and eradicate all abnormalities.

And the non-existent Prince Consort of the Great Zhou Dynasty was obviously an intruder who should not belong to this timeline.

So no matter what, he would take this opportunity to kill the opponent.

and.

Hasn't this time traveler encountered similar incidents before?

Gu Changsheng dared to refuse Emperor Wu's twelve retreat gold medals.

He Meng Yi, wouldn’t he dare?
When Meng Yi learned about Gu Changsheng's life story, he had a strong sense of realization on the spot.

After comparing it with the records in history books, he was already sure.

Gu Changsheng changed history, and the other party was the source of all the chaos in front of him.

Since it’s not possible on land, then take the water route!
Meng Yi raised his head firmly, wisdom flashing in his eyes.

The terrain of Hangu Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is a dangerous canyon called Chibi, which can bypass Hangu Pass and go straight into the territory of Zhou Dynasty.

However, Qin has never been good at water warfare, so it has never considered this route.

But regarding this matter, Meng Yi already had a plan to break the situation.

The Qin army was not good at water warfare because it was located in the north and had never had any experience in water warfare.

Once on the battlefield, you will definitely get seasick.

But he only needed to connect all the ships together with iron chains to allow all the soldiers to cross the river easily.

Caught the Zhou defenders by surprise.

Because they knew that neither Meng Tian nor Zhuge Kongming would follow his advice, they informed the soldiers that Meng Yi was doing it quietly alone.

He is the younger brother of General Meng Tian, ​​and no one would have thought that Meng Yi came up with the so-called "iron chain" plan alone. They all thought that the general wanted to have a final battle with Zhou before leaving. .

They all went down to prepare.

"Da Zhou, I will come back."

The next day.

After packing his bags, Meng Tian took one last look at Hangu Pass behind him and muttered silently in his heart.

Then he was ready to lead the army back.

However, after taking a glance at the marching team, Meng Tian's brows furrowed.

The number of people... obviously doesn't match up.

Although this battle has been going on for a month, both they and Zhou Guo are extremely cautious in every step.So it didn't cause many casualties.

In this expedition to Hangu Pass, Meng Tian brought about 50 troops.

But now there are only less than 20 people, including many wounded.

By the way, where is Meng Yi?

Meng Tian suddenly felt bad.

"Report!!! Something bad has happened, General. Meng Yi left the team privately with 30 troops and headed towards Chibi."

"This is the letter Meng Yi left for the general."

The soldier who brought the news handed over a letter and gave it to Meng Tian to read.

The letter clearly said: Brother, I have a plan to connect the iron ropes, which will definitely catch the Zhou Dynasty guard by surprise. When I successfully cross Chibi and unite with my brothers, I will take Hangu Pass. "

It’s over.

The moment I saw the writing above clearly.

Meng Tian's face suddenly turned pale and bloodless.

From the direction of Chibi, Meng Tian has not never proposed this method of bypassing Hangu Pass.

However, Zhuge Cheng rejected it on the spot. The Qin army was not good at water warfare and rashly used Chibi as a breakthrough point, which made it easy to fall into danger.

As for the chain link...

Zhou Guo has a powerful crossbow in hand. If he ignites the crossbow arrows, he will use fire attack at this time...

"Big...big...general, Chibi is red."

Just as this thought flashed through Meng Tian's mind.

In the distance, the majestic Red Cliff Canyon is filled with red clouds, and billowing heat waves hit our faces.

All the soldiers of the Qin army were stunned. Zhuge Kongming, who had just walked out of the camp, also unconsciously dropped the feather fan in his hand.

Staring at this scene with stunned eyes.

"...Chibi...Chibi..."

"General...Chibi is on fire...!"

"Meng Yi!"

The horrified roar resounded through the sky and shook all directions.

"Send the order to the entire army! Quickly... turn around!"

Meng Tian almost gritted his teeth and spat out these words.

"kill!!!"

At this moment, the main force of Zhou Dynasty, which had been avoiding the battle in Hangu Pass, surged out.

Groups of cavalry flew over like locusts and launched the most violent attack.

The Qiannu battalion followed closely behind.

Boom!

The ignited crossbow arrows shot through countless shields and war horses, causing screams and blood mist filling the sky, and the entire horizon was dyed scarlet.

Loud noises resounded throughout the world, and smoke and dust billowed, covering half of the sky.

War broke out.

As a general, Meng Tian took the lead and rushed to the front of the battle line. His halberd swept past, and the bodies of the ten infantrymen instantly shattered and their bones flew into pieces.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shouts of killing were deafening, the lights of swords and shadows crisscrossed the fields, and broken limbs were everywhere.

A silver halberd danced impenetrably, like a god, piercing enemies one after another and killing them off their horses.

Meng Tian was covered in blood and his hair was disheveled, as if a demon had descended.

"General, there are too many enemies."

"I'm outnumbered!"

"Our army suffered heavy casualties!"

Meng Tian's personal guard also suffered numerous casualties at this time, with wailing sounds and blood flowing like rivers.

All resistance has become a battle between trapped beasts.

"Everyone, let it go."

Seeing that the Qin army was gone.

In the Zhou army formation, Gu Changsheng, dressed in soldier uniform, stood on horseback with a bright smile.

There is a saying in the art of war: wait for the distance by waiting for the near, wait for the tired by waiting for the lost, wait for the hungry by the full, and wait for the strength by controlling the strength.

To put your opponent in a difficult situation, you don't necessarily have to attack blindly to gain openings. The key is to seize the initiative and wait for opportunities.

What remains unchanged is ever-changing.
