Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 4 Ying Yuan is here!

Always stay with me.

Ying Yuan led [-] light cavalry and took the first step.

As for Meng Tian, ​​he led an army of 17 to march slowly.

Xianyang.

royal palace.

Qin Wang Yingzheng and a group of ministers are discussing the war in the Qilin Hall.

At present, the enemy army is storming Hangu Pass, and it is imminent. If it is not resolved, I am afraid that this time, Daqin will really be in danger of subjugation.

The joy of the great victory in Longxi disappeared with the oppression of the Allied Forces of the Five Nations.

"Chu Chunshen Lord Huang Xie has 30 tiger and wolf troops. He must send troops to support Hangu Pass. Otherwise, once Hangu Pass is broken, the Allied Forces of the Five Kingdoms will take advantage of the situation and attack the hinterland of Great Qin. Great Qin is in danger!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that General Wang Jian be sent to support Hangu Pass. As long as the five-nation coalition forces are kept out of the pass, there will be gaps between the five-nation coalition forces as time goes by. At that time, the supply of food and grass will become a problem, and we will definitely take the initiative." retreat."

"The veteran thought that General Wang Jian's 20 troops should not act rashly. This time, the Allied Forces of the Five Nations are coming fiercely. If we wait at all costs and use the power of the whole country, by that time, if the army is defeated, there will be no more It’s a chance to comeback.”

Ying Zheng, sitting on the throne, felt a headache seeing the chatter of the ministers in front of him.

Although the problem of the five-nation coalition is serious, it has not yet reached the point where the country must be subjugated.

He inspected every minister in the hall, and finally, he set his eyes on Lu Buwei, and said calmly: "Xiangbang, the deployment to resist the Allied Forces of the Five Nations is all done by you, talk about how to keep Hangu Pass. "

Hearing the sound, Lu Buwei got up from the futon, bowed and said: "Go back to the king, just before going to the palace, I have ordered General Wang Jian to send troops to reinforce Hangu, and I also told Wang Jian that if there is any accident on the way, he can make decisions by himself."

After a pause, he looked at the ministers in the hall again, and slowly said: "The truth is known, all ministers are worried about the affairs of the country, but you must not be anxious, otherwise, the Allied Forces of the Five Nations have not set foot in the Qin Dynasty. On the land of our country, our position is already in chaos.

General Wang Jian has experienced hundreds of battles and is well versed in the art of war. With him around, we, Great Qin, will have no worries.Your Majesty, I have decided to personally go to Hangu Pass to supervise the battle, and vow not to return to Xianyang unless the enemy army is defeated. "

Lu Buwei may be obsessed with power, but in any case, he has no malice towards Daqin.

However, people change their minds.

Now Ying Zheng has begun to be wary of his father.

Mobilizing the country's generals, this kind of thing, even told myself in advance, I didn't bother to tell.

"Father, the battle ahead is urgent. You are the prime minister of a country, how can you be caught in a war? No! Absolutely no!"

In fact, this is what Ying Zheng said on the scene.

He wished that Lu Buwei would have troubles on the front line.

"Your Majesty, there are master snares around me, so you don't have to worry about your own safety. If you don't go there in person, you won't be able to rest assured about the war."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng interrupted, "Father Xiang, are you really determined to go?"

Lu Buwei nodded, "The Five Kingdoms' conquest of Qin is not a trivial matter. In terms of scale, it is far better than the previous major battles of various countries against Qin. The ministers must be on the front line. Enough confidence, and the Five Nations Allied Forces, a long and short."

"Father Xiang, you must be careful when you go here!" Ying Zheng said earnestly.

Lu Buwei set off for Hangu Pass. At this time, Wang Jian's army had already arrived in the pass.

As soon as Wang Jian entered the field, he defeated Huang Xie with his unexpected tactics.

However, when Lu Buwei arrived in Hangu, a major event happened.

Pang Nuan, personally leading an army of 30, has forcibly crossed the Yellow River and is heading towards Mincheng.

Ying Zheng called Li Xin, who was at home, to the palace, and said straight to the point: "You must have heard about the recent incidents. I want you to go to Mincheng to resist Pang Nuan's troops. I sent the 2 soldiers from Xianyang, I will give it to you together, there are [-] people in Mincheng, a total of [-], can you hold Mincheng?"

The current situation has reached an extremely serious moment. If there is any carelessness, Xianyang will lose.

Once Xianyang is lost, I'm afraid.
The whole Great Qin is in danger.

Therefore, whether Mincheng can be defended is related to the final success or failure of the battle.

They thought that Pang Nuan's army would not be able to cross the Yellow River at all.

Who knows, it really made him succeed in crossing the Yellow River.

Right now, the most important thing is to quickly deploy the defense of Mincheng.

Li Xin, in the current state of Qin, can be regarded as the leader of the younger generation.

Meng Tian at this moment cannot be compared with him.

Of course, it didn't matter if Ying Yuan held his head steady.

"Back to the king, to be honest, the last general is not sure that he can defeat the invading enemy. After all, the enemy's commander is Pang Nuan. This old general is as famous as Li Mulian in Zhao State. , Looking at my Great Qin, apart from old generals such as Wang Yan and Wang Jian, it is difficult to have any opponents."

Li Xin said truthfully.

Subconsciously, he has already described the power of Pang Nuan.

"Old General Wang Yan has passed away. General Meng Ao and General Wang Jian are both at Hangu Pass, and there is no time to support them. When Xiangbang left, he said that if there is any change in Xianyang, you can be the general. I can only stand for you If you gather [-] soldiers, you need to defend Mincheng for at least seven days, otherwise, Hangu's reinforcements will not have time to support Mincheng."

Ying Zheng has given the order to die.

Li Xin could only accept orders in the face of danger.

[-] armored soldiers immediately supported Mincheng.

At this time, Pang Nuan had already begun to attack Mincheng at all costs.

Throughout Xianyang City, rumors began to arise, saying that the Allied Forces of the Five Nations were about to attack.

Maybe Daqin will be wiped out.

Not only among the people, but even within the court, people's hearts began to fluctuate.

Many foreign visitors are ready to leave Xianyang.

With the arrival of Li Xin's reinforcements, the most intense moment of the Mincheng battle finally arrived.

Pang Nuan's 30 troops attacked Mincheng in turn, day and night.

The soldiers guarded very hard.

They knew very well in their hearts that reinforcements would never arrive for a while.

Can only rely on death.

After repelling the enemy for the first time, Li Xin ordered the army to rest on the spot, replenish food and dry food, and prepare for the next enemy attack.

"If this continues, we won't be able to keep it for seven days."

Li Xin looked sad.

It has to be said that Pang Nuan is really powerful. He is best at attacking cities and pulling out strongholds, especially with his surprise tactics that moved countries around the world.

After these few days of battle, the soldiers defending the city have already suffered heavy losses, with at least [-]% casualties.

However, the reinforcements have not yet seen movement.

It seems that he was held back by Huang Xie's army outside Hangu Pass.

As a result, Mincheng faced a dilemma.

Lost, can only be a matter of time.

How important is Mincheng?
For example, if Mincheng is lost, Xianyang will not be protected, and if Xianyang is not protected, the entire Great Qin will face the danger of subjugation.

"Send a letter to Xianyang and ask Wang Shang to temporarily take refuge in Yongcheng."

In desperation, Li Xin could only make such a decision.

This time the Allied Forces of the Five Nations are coming in menacingly, with the intention of swallowing Qin State in one bite.

After receiving Li Xin's letter, Ying Zheng fell into a short thought, and then he made a decision.

Even if Mincheng really can't hold it anymore, he will never leave Xianyang.

In Xianyang City, there are still hundreds of thousands of old Qin people!
They are the source of soldiers for Daqin!

Must be able to last until the last moment.

If you leave Xianyang and seek refuge in Yongcheng, I am afraid that everyone will think that the king of Daqin has escaped.

At that time, the hearts of the people will inevitably be restless.

Pang Nuan's plan to go straight into the hinterland of the Qin State was almost completed.

Thinking of Ying Zheng here, he called all the civil and military officials to the top of the city.

On the top of the city, he gathered the old Qin people and made some inspiring remarks.

Probably, the state of Qin has reached a state of extreme urgency, and Pang Nuan's army will be approaching the city in an instant.

At this time, he is willing to stay, stay in Xianyang, and as a citizen of Daqin, fight the enemy to the death and never retreat.

"The land we are stepping on is the land of my great Qin! My people, for our homeland and our relatives, we can only fight to the death with the enemy! Let us go to the national calamity together! No bleeding, no truce!"

"Blood is not dry, death is not a truce!"

"Death without a truce!"

All the old Qin people in the city were excited.

Their heart to protect their homeland has been mobilized by Ying Zheng.

Next, just quietly wait for the arrival of Pang Nuan's army, and fight to the death with them.

Three days later.

Min City.

Tens of thousands of soldiers are attacking the city.

Mincheng at this moment, obviously has reached the last moment.

As the main general, Li Xin was seriously injured at the moment.

But he had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on.

Because behind him is Xianyang!
"Soldiers! Meet the enemy!"

Li Xin roared, grabbed a spear, and began to kill the enemy with all his might.

Countless arrows shot down the city.

However, the enemy's formation is too scattered, seemingly chaotic and disorderly, but in fact there is a universe inside, which can greatly reduce the power of Qin Jian's arrows.

This is the formation that Pang Nuan worked out over the years to deal with Qin.

It is for one day that the power of Qin Jian can be greatly reduced.

After all, no one in the world knows that Qin is good at arrows.

Wave after wave of enemy troops are attacking the city in a continuous manner.

Li Xin knew that after several days of exhaustion, Pang Nuan had already seen that Mincheng would not be able to hold on anymore.

Therefore, a large number of additional troops began to be sent, and they wanted to take down Mincheng in one go.

I'm afraid, the battle of life and death is now.

"General, something is wrong. The flanking city wall was attacked by the enemy's flint!"

Suddenly, Li Xin heard bad news.

He looked over there, and as expected, many enemy soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to climb up the city wall to fight.

"Could it be that you are really going to lose here today?"

Li Xin muttered unwillingly.

He still has unfulfilled ambitions.

At this critical moment, a voice seemed to come from a distance,
"The champion Hou Yingyuan led the army to serve the king!"

Immediately afterwards, this voice rang out one after another, as if it could shake the universe.

"Champion Hou Yingyuan came to support Mincheng!"

"Champion Hou Yingyuan is here!"

Basically, it was the soldiers under Ying Yuan's command who were shouting.

He is the soul of the Longxi army, so every one of them is very excited to follow the army soul.

Pang Nuan, who was commanding the army to attack the city, saw tens of thousands of cavalry appearing on his flanks, his face became a little flustered, and he quickly let the infantry who were attacking the city retreat.

"Champion Hou? Ying Yuan? Is it Gongzi Yuan?"

After Li Xin confirmed who the general who came to support was, a smile appeared on his face immediately.

However, immediately after, he frowned, "Gong Ziyuan, why did you appear here?"
