Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 243 The army's morale is unstable!

Five cities!

Do you still want to advise the marquis?

This……

This reward is too generous!
I didn't expect that Zhao State would spend such a heavy sum of money in order to win over Qin State!
When Li Mu heard this, he immediately stood up and looked at Lian Po with confusion in his eyes. He stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "General, why are you doing this?"

Lian Po waved his hand and then motioned for him to sit down. Zhao State had already exhausted all its national strength in this battle. If it could not defeat Qin State, then Zhao State would have no way out.

As long as we can capture Qin, just five cities don't matter!
As long as Zhao State develops for a period of time, he will have enough confidence to take it back.

Li Mu sighed heavily, turned around and sat down.

really!

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!

When everyone around them heard such an attractive reward, they couldn't help it anymore.

A look of greed flashed in the eyes of General Le Yi of the Yan State. His face was full of joy and he stepped forward and bowed: "General, I am willing to go!"

Before he finished speaking, Pang Juan, the general of the Wei State, immediately stepped forward, looked at everyone with confidence and said: "General, generals, I believe that the strength of our soldiers in the Wei State is obvious to all, and I am willing to lead the army." The soldiers from Wei under my command went to attack the city!"

"We will definitely break through Hangu Pass and win the first victory for our army!"

Seeing the Wei generals fighting for the vanguard, the Yan generals immediately raised a smile and sneered:
"General Pang, even though the soldiers of the State of Wei are powerful on the plains, our soldiers of the State of Yan have dispatched 30 troops this time, not to mention that this time they are facing a siege, and the advantage of your soldiers of the State of Wei will not be reflected. , the vanguard army should let our Yan army come!"

Pang Juan snorted coldly, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "It doesn't matter if there are many people. Although our Wei Kingdom only has 20 soldiers, they are all fierce and powerful. They can fight one against two. Even in a siege battle, they will not be at a disadvantage. , you Yan army should save it!"

Seeing the competing attitudes of the two countries, Han Fei couldn't help but sigh, and began to feel worried.

Kings in the past dynasties have made joint attempts to attack Qin, but the result was that they failed every time and even lost troops and generals.

The reason why the six countries suffered repeated defeats was precisely because each country wanted to seek personal gain from it and thereby strengthen itself.

However, the same is true now. Can such an alliance really defeat Qin in one fell swoop?

Seeing that the generals of Yan and Wei were arguing, Lian Po felt helpless in his heart, and then said: "In this case, let Wei be the vanguard and Yan be the backup army. If Wei cannot attack for a long time, the Yan army will Take over.”

"Start the siege tomorrow morning and be sure to capture Hangu Pass within two days!"

"Today's discussion is here for now. Generals, go back and prepare!"

A smile appeared on Pang Juan's face, and he said confidently: "Pang Juan will definitely capture Hangu Pass within two days!"

The general of Yan State snorted coldly, turned around and left the king's tent.

Then the generals from other countries also left the king's tent.
Seeing that everyone had left, Li Mu stepped forward and asked, "General, what did you do just now?"

Lian Po sighed deeply, turned his head to look at Li Mu, and said earnestly: "General Li, the Zhao State has used all its national strength to attack Qin. If we fail to win this battle, after the Qin State regains its strength, it will definitely bear the brunt of the attack. , how will Zhao, our country, deal with this Qin army?"

"So this battle is related to the fate of the Zhao State, and Hangu Pass is the lifeblood of the Qin State. If it cannot be captured, how will it advance to Xianyang? As long as Hangu Pass is captured, the Qin State will be severely damaged even if it cannot be destroyed. , how will the Qin State attack our Zhao State?"

"Compared with the safety of Zhao State, what are these five cities? As long as I, Lian Po, live for one day, I can lead my troops to capture these five cities again, or even ten cities or twenty percent. By then, our Zhao State will once again be in danger. Return to the strength of a powerful nation and rank first among the Seven Kingdoms!"

Li Mu suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but be shocked by Lian Po's state of mind. He quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "The general's foresight and foresight are beyond the reach of the general. This made the general feel deeply!" Lian Po stepped forward and took a picture! He patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said with a heavy expression: "The core of this battle is still on you. I am not worried about the frontal battlefield at all. It's just that this victory is an accident. Only you can hold it back. When the army breaks through Hangu Pass, you Then you can lead your troops back to defend Hangu Pass."

"By then, no matter how powerful Yingjun is, he will not be able to break through Hangu Pass!"

Li Mu took a deep breath and looked at Lian Po with determination in his eyes: "Even if I risk my life, I will stop Ying Jun and his men and never let them affect the army."

Lian Po nodded heavily, with a smile on his face: "Okay, this ambition is worthy of my Zhao family's son. After this battle, I will personally advise the king to promote you to my deputy general."

Afterwards, the two of them discussed it and left.

at this time.

Inside Hangu Pass.

Li Xin was wearing battle armor and standing on the city wall with a long sword in his hand, staring straight ahead, not daring to slack off at all.

The surrounding soldiers held long bows and arrows, just waiting for the order.

The captain of the city guard looked at the enemy army that had not moved for a long time, his eyes full of confusion, and turned around and asked: "General, it has been three full hours, and the enemy army has been indifferent, and there is no sign of even a large army dispatching. Why don't you let the soldiers rest for a while?"

Hearing this, Li Xin turned his head and glanced at the tensed Qin soldiers, and immediately ordered: "Order the soldiers to rest on the spot for a while and take turns to monitor the enemy's movements!"

"Here!"

The captain shouted in response.

All the soldiers in the city immediately climbed onto the city wall because of the sudden enemy attack. They all tensed up and did not dare to relax at all. They stood on the city wall and guarded for the whole night.

Now, as Li Xin's military order was issued, everyone let out a long sigh of relief, and their tense hearts relaxed a little.

The surrounding soldiers holding long bows turned around and sat on the ground. The arrows on their long bows were not removed, and they were always ready to deal with the enemy.

At this moment, a soldier strode up from the city and came to Li Xin panting heavily:
"General... General, the people in the city started talking about it when they heard the news that enemy troops from the four countries were attacking."

"People in the city are already panicked, and some soldiers have also been affected by it, resulting in low morale."

"what!"

A trace of anger emerged on Li Xin's face, and he took a deep breath.

Now that the enemy is facing us, once the morale of the soldiers is affected, they will have lingering fears, and they will not be able to fight wholeheartedly if they fight the enemy.

As a result, the soldiers will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Li Xin immediately turned his head and told the captain of the city guard behind him: "You are here to keep an eye on the battlefield ahead. If the enemy invades, immediately beat the drums and shout gold to let the army meet the enemy. Never let the enemy attack the city. "

"The last general takes orders!"

The captain shouted in response.

Li Xin nodded, and then said to the soldiers in front of him: "Lead the way!"
