Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 242: If you capture Hangu, will you be granted the title of Marquis of five cities?

Seeing Lian Po speak, the person who had just laughed at Han Fei immediately shut his mouth and sat in silence.

Seeing Lian Po helping him out of the siege, Han Fei quickly bowed to Lian Po and thanked him: "Thank you, General!"

Lian Po nodded slightly, then looked at everyone and asked: "Generals, now that the King of Qin has openly proclaimed himself emperor, he does not pay attention to our six countries. If you let it go, when Qin develops, it will definitely fight against our six countries." , Qin’s wolfish ambition to unify the six countries is known to everyone in the world.”

"The matters discussed today are related to the survival of several of our countries. I hope you can put aside your prejudices and work together to destroy the Qin Dynasty!"

Everyone looked at Lian Po and said in unison: "We will do our best!"

Then General Le Yi of the State of Yan stood up, walked to the middle and bowed to Lian Po, looked at Han Fei and said: "Young Master Fei did not agree with what I said earlier. After three days of long journey, our army, the soldiers The body is already exhausted, but Qin Jun is full of energy."

"Our four countries have millions of troops, but the Hangu garrison is only [-]. Hangu Pass is already within easy reach. If we rush to attack our army at this time, it will definitely cause great losses to our army."

"Even if the Qin army sends troops to ask for reinforcements, it will take at least two days to reach Hangu Pass. If our army is allowed to rest for one day, and when the army is full of energy, wouldn't it be possible for a million troops to capture Hangu Pass? In the blink of an eye, it can also reduce huge losses for our army."

"Mr. Han's strategy is certainly good, but he has never led an army in a war. Naturally, he doesn't know the importance of military morale to the soldiers. So don't blame Mr. Han Fei for this."

The generals sitting below nodded in agreement.

You must know that if a large army has no morale, even if it is suppressed by huge numbers, it may not be able to win.

However, once the soldiers shared their hatred of the enemy and their morale was high, it would be as easy to capture Hangu Pass with only 5 defenders as a bag.

Lian Po, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally knows this.

This time the four-nation coalition has millions of troops, and its military strength has far exceeded that of Qin.

Even if the Qin State uses all its strength to defend Hangu Pass, he is confident enough to capture it.

Han Fei shook his head, stood up again, looked at Le Yi and said with determination in his eyes: "Although Fei has never led an army to fight, I think he knows as much about the battlefield as you do."

"Hangu Pass is located in the western part of the plateau, with Juejian in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. The location is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. Our army can only launch an offensive from the front, and the frontal battlefield can only accommodate 20 soldiers at a time."

"Qin's elite soldiers are never afraid of life and death. If these [-] Qin troops rely on the terrain to fight our army to the death, they will definitely be able to hold on for two days. Once Qin's reinforcements arrive, it will be impossible for our army to attack Hangu for a while. It turns into a protracted battle.”

A general came out immediately, with a look of disdain on his face: "What about a protracted war? The Qin State is now short of food and grass, but the food and grass baggage of our four-nation army is far enough, and there are soldiers from various countries behind us who are constantly transporting it. Can their Qin country afford to compete with us?"

"When the food and supplies of Qin State are all consumed, won't our army be able to capture them more easily and send troops straight into Xianyang in one fell swoop?"

Another soldier agreed: "You're right, we can afford the energy consumption, but can Qin afford it?"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

When the Qin State ran out of food and grass, each of them had no strength to restrain the chicken, so how could they fight against the army.

Han Fei shook his head slightly, with a trace of ridicule on his face, and snorted: "Innocent!"

"Have you generals forgotten the existence of Wang Zijun?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned on the spot, and the expressions on their faces froze.

quiet!
silence!

The entire military tent fell into a deathly silence!
Win Jun!

That person was far superior to Wu'an Jun Bai Qi in terms of literary skills and military strategy.

Even in the Battle of Handan in the Zhao Kingdom, it was precisely because of his participation that the battle situation was instantly changed and the terrifying existence of Zhao Kingdom was severely damaged.hiss--!
Everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, and their backs couldn't help but feel a chill.

Even Lian Po, who was sitting above him, couldn't help but clenched his fists, with a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

If there is really a protracted war with Qin, once Yingjun rushes back to Qin, the situation will definitely be affected.

Moreover, Yingjun plundered a lot of supplies on the grassland. Once these supplies are transported back to Qin, Qin will have another chance to breathe.

By then, the two armies will be in a stalemate.

Moreover, Qi and Chu have not yet joined the alliance, and its purpose is still unclear. This is undoubtedly a hidden danger.

Thinking of this, Lian Po's face gradually became heavy. He slowly stood up and looked at everyone and said, "All the generals are right."

"Send an order to let the army prepare for war and rest for a night. The attack on the city will begin tomorrow. Hangu Pass must be captured within two days!"

Everyone stood up immediately, bowed to Lian Po and said, "Here!"

Lian Po then looked at everyone and asked:
"Who is willing to take on the role of vanguard in this siege?"

After the words fell, everyone fell silent and fell into deep thought.

Siege warfare relies on numerical superiority, and Hangu Pass is located in a dangerous place. If you want to capture Hangu Pass, you must attack with three or four times the number of troops.

At present, there are only more than [-] defenders at Hangu Pass, and the Allied Forces of the Four Nations have reached one million, so it is inevitable to capture Hangu Pass.

Once Hangu Pass is captured, the long march goes straight to Xianyang, and the Qin King Yingji is captured, the Qin Kingdom will be overthrown with a snap of the finger.

As a result, many counties, territories and supplies of the Qin State will be their targets in this war.

If too many troops are wasted at Hangu Pass, it will no longer be able to have a stronghold with other countries in the subsequent battles. Wouldn't this be worth the loss?

Compared with taking over Hangu Pass and taking over many counties and counties in the Qin State, the latter would naturally benefit more.

Rather than consuming a large number of troops at Hangu Pass, it is better to leave these troops to compete for more counties.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other, but no one was willing to take the initiative to be the vanguard.

After all, no one wants to do such a thankless thing.

Lian Po saw that no one was willing to fight, and he knew what these people were thinking, so he sighed helplessly.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Mu wanted to contain Ying Jun and guard against Ying Jun's attack from the side, there wouldn't be anyone responsible for the vanguard force.

As the commander-in-chief of the armies of the Four Kingdoms, he naturally had to keep an overview of the overall situation, and it was impossible for him to personally lead the troops to attack the city.

This important task can only be handed over to the generals of several other countries.

However, although these generals have formed an alliance, they all have their own evil intentions. How can they easily send troops if there are no benefits.

If we can't fight with all our strength, how can we possibly attack the dangerous place of Hangu Pass and win the first battle?

If we fail to win the first battle, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army. How can we march straight into Xianyang in one breath?

Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Lian Po took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and said with determination: "In this battle, if anyone can capture Hangu Pass and win the first victory, then Zhao Guo is willing to use five The city will be given as a reward, and the King of Zhao will be asked to advise his king to make him a marquis."
