Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 47 Battle of Hangu Pass (2)

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

One long, two short, three horn horns soared into the sky, followed by a roar: "Shortstop [-] is in place—!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Two long and one short three horn horns followed closely, followed by another hoarse howl: "The carrier is ready at two thousand!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

The drumstick in Hu Hai's hand hit the sheepskin drum fiercely, and he roared suddenly: "Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the country together!"

……

"Jijiu Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together!"

"Jijiu Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together!"

"Jijiu Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together!"

……

The huge trumpet, with the determination to sweep away thousands of troops, is like a burst of thunder crushing away into the distance.This is Hu Hai's determination, and it is also the belief of the soldiers of the Qin army.

The iron blood and military spirit of the Great Qin Empire, at Hangu Pass, a pass that witnessed the rise and fall of the Great Qin, once again came from the heart and will surely shock the world.

……

At this moment, the army in the distance has condensed into a vast green, red and purple forest.One hundred thousand Allied forces of the Three Kingdoms came from all over the mountains and plains, mighty and mighty.

……

"attack!"

Wei Wangbao let out an angry roar, his long sword was drawn out of its sheath, and his whole body was filled with astonishing sharpness.

Then he roared with a sword in his hand, and said: "The first one to climb to the top of the city will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and sealed off a thousand households!"

……

"The king of Wei has an order: the first one to reach the top of the city will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and a thousand households will be sealed!"

……

The sound of the huge chant spread throughout the army.For a time, the morale was high and the momentum was like a rainbow.

For the soldiers on the bloody battlefield, the amount of bounty was originally something outside of the body, and they might not be able to get it if they died in battle.

But this fiefdom of a thousand households is an unchangeable title inherited by descendants for eternity, it is really a peerless reward, once in a thousand years.

As soon as such a peerless reward came out, the blood of all the officers and men of the three armies burst into flames, and they rushed towards Hangu Pass like a tsunami.

……

"Boom, boom, boom—!"

……

All of a sudden, the drums of war rumbled across the field, and three huge infantry phalanxes pushed the cloud carts and lifted the ladders, and the angry clouds rolled towards this small pass city in the rolling mountains.

……

Hu Hai at the head of the city shouted loudly: "Light up the beacon fire - fight!"

"Yes."

Following Hu Hai's order, the most crucial battle in the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty began.

……

At this moment, Hu Hai still remembered the words of Tongwuhou Wang Benlin before leaving the pass: "Your Majesty, once the army attacks the city, can the [-] army last for three days?"

At that time, Hu Haisi paid for a moment, and said with emotion: "Don't worry, Marquis Tongwu, there is no rescue outside, I can last for ten days!"

Wang Ben was silent for a while: "Okay, I don't want to increase the number of troops. But if the smoke is raised, it will be counted as your Majesty's fight, and it will last for three days, which is enough!"

……

Looking at the top of the city today, Hu Hai knew that this was an unprecedented battle.Because he is unfamiliar with ancient warfare, he can only deploy according to the pre-plan.

"My order: [-] soldiers are divided into two squads to meet the enemy, each squad of [-], rotated every two hours, [-] shortstops, whoever is struggling, immediately support there."

"Yes!"

……

The three armies of Qi, Wei, and Zhao each led [-] troops to attack the city, but the terrain they faced was quite different.Zhao Jun, who was attacking fiercely in the center, was facing the towering archery tower.

The road outside the city, together with the low and gentle hillside beside the road, is only one or two miles wide in total.This is the axis of Hangu Pass and the main direction of attacking the city.

"bass!"

Sima Ang was eager to seize the head, and his long sword was unsheathed in vain: "A hundred people have a ladder, and a thousand people have a cloud cart. Immediately attack the city, and three thousand crossbowmen suppress the Qin army's arrows head-on!"

"only!"

……

"Ugh-"

At this moment, the trumpet sounded, and Sima Yang roared, "Shoot the arrow!"

"Whoo, whoo, whoo—"

The three thousand pairs of strong bows and crossbows lined up in formation fired at the same time, and the dense rain of arrows poured violently towards the archery tower and the city wall amidst a screaming sound.

For a moment, the archery tower walls of Hangu Pass were submerged by the rain of arrows, and almost disappeared from the canyon indistinctly.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

At this moment, the drums of war are loud.Fifty centurions hugged the ladder and rushed towards the city wall like a tsunami pushing the cloud cart.

At this moment, Sima Ang was overjoyed.As long as the cloud ladders are on the city wall, the cloud chariot stands up under the city, and the rain of arrows stops pouring down the city, this siege battle can immediately enter melee combat.

……

Hu Hai hid behind the female wall under the archery tower, staring fixedly at Zhao Jun who was attacking wildly.

Even if the cloud ladder roared against the city wall, the cloud cart was erected high, and the warriors who climbed the city had already stepped on the wooden ladder of the cloud cart, but Hu Hai still did not give an order.

He knew in his heart that although Hangu Pass was strong, it was known as the most powerful pass in the world.But there are only [-] soldiers in Guanzhong, and they must defend for three days.

Therefore, the timing of the war must be just right.As soon as he made a move, he gave Zhao Jun the most violent blow.

"Beat the drum, kill the enemy!" In vain, Hu Hai raised his arms and shouted with an iron halberd in his hand.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

All of a sudden, the drums and bangs on the top of the Hangu Pass were loud, as if thunder had exploded in nine days.

"The stone is launched!"

The dense boulders rumbled down along the slope of the city wall, one wave after another, continuously.Under the violent impact of the rumbling boulder, the cloud car and ladder were destroyed in an instant.

"The crossbowman activates!"

At the same time, Hu Hai's order came just in time, and dense arrow rain was shot from the arrow holes all over the female wall, and the soldiers who only cared about avoiding the boulder made living archery targets.

One by one, bloody arrows stuck in the crevices of the big rocks and could not move half a step. In just a short moment, most of the first group of [-] soldiers were killed or injured.

Sima Ang's face turned ashen, he wanted to shout a word but couldn't, he held back for a moment, jumped to his feet and shouted: "Go again in the second battle! If you can't take Hangu Pass, you will die!"

……

The army of Wei in the north and the army of Qi in the south are facing mountains with many trees and jagged rocks.Standing at the foot of the mountain, the army could only see the banners and smoke from the Hangu Pass in the distance.

Not to mention the onslaught, even climbing to the foot of the Great Wall would be even more difficult!
……

Tian Jian watched for a while on the boulder on the hillside, looked at the direction of the wind, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Burn! Burn all these forests and make a way!"

"only!"

With a shout from the Qi army, dozens of barrels of kerosene were brought from the rear army's heavy truck, and they were specially poured on the densely forested areas. In October, it was late autumn, and the grass and trees were already dry and yellow.

"boom!"

With one stroke of the torch, the prairie fire immediately burned up along the mountain, and the fire took advantage of the wind to soar into the sky, just like a fire dragon crossing the catastrophe.

The billowing smoke turned into a black dragon that surpasses the ancient times and soars up to [-] li with the wind.Even the beacon fire on the wall of Hangu Pass paled at this moment.

Standing in place, the soldiers of the Qi army felt the terrifying heat, and sweat dripped from their foreheads.Especially when the strong wind blows, the grass and trees fly ashes, and the army is extremely embarrassed.

……

"The army retreats!"

Tian Jian waved his hand, he was overjoyed, laughed loudly, and said: "Good wind, God help me, burn it for me!"
