Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 318 Entering Xianyang (8)

Soon, there was a drumbeat from the coalition camp.

All the civilian officials and generals in the camp heard the sound of the drum, and they all knew that Xiang Yu was convening a civil and military discussion, so they hurriedly put down their work and went to the tent of the Chinese army commander.

At this time, in the camp of the coalition forces, apart from General Li Liang, the Queen of Zhao, the North Route Army Governor Tian Heng, General Yan Guohu Ben Linghuchou and [-] North Route Army troops were present.The South Route Army's former Wei generals Huang Xin and Han former generals Shen Li were all repaired in Wuguan, and the former Wuguan Taoshe Department was repaired in Shangyi, waiting for Xiang Yu's order.

After the allied soldiers entered the big tent, they each saluted Xiang Yu and sat down in their own seats.

After everyone had arrived, the big tent fell silent.Everyone looked at Xiang Yu at the top, wondering why Xiang Yu wanted to call the Allied Army Civil and Military Forces to the Chinese Army Commander's Tent.

"Everyone is called because the intelligence department has sent news about Xianyang!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiang Yu picked up a piece of information from the table and said, "The people of Qin have recruited and assembled twenty More than ten thousand soldiers want to rely on Tongguan to stand in a stalemate with our coalition forces! What do you think our coalition forces should do?"

"General! As the last general, now we can only take Tongguan before the Qin soldiers arrive at Tongguan! Otherwise, our coalition forces will surely repeat the same mistakes that the Five Kingdoms defeated Qin!" Linghu Qiu asked after Xiang Yu finished. , then cupped his hands and said aloud.

"General Linghu's words are justified, and the general will second it!" Tian Heng also clapped his hands in agreement.

"My lord! The guard of Tongguan, Yinglin, hasn't sent anyone so far. He must be stalling for time! I feel that I can't wait any longer. The only way to keep Qin's reinforcements from arriving is to stop me!" I haven't got the information yet After Tian Heng and Linghu Qiu, Sui He stood up and gave his suggestion.

"My lord, you can't! If you attack Tongguan, won't you really push the shadow forest to the death defense? The general will ask the lord to give the general two days, and let the general enter the pass to persuade the shadow forest again. If the shadow forest does not surrender after two days, it will be impossible to attack again." Late!" After Tan Xiong finished speaking at any time, Dang Li got up to persuade him, and then asked again.

"No need! The intelligence department has already sent the news that most of the soldiers in the Guanzhong have not been trained in the battle. It also coincides with General Qin entering the pass to persuade him to surrender, so he pretended to surrender and cheated time to train soldiers!" Xiang Yu listened. Then he shook his head and told the information that the intelligence department had inquired a long time ago.

In fact, Xiang Yu got this information as early as the third day after Qin Xiong came back, but he didn't order the attack on Tongguan immediately to allow the army time to recuperate.Another thing is to wait for the Northern Route Army to arrive, so as to consume the strength of the Northern Route Army and prepare for the conquest of the world in the future.

"What?" Qin Xiong seemed in disbelief.

"General Qin was deceived by this shadow forest and is not guilty! After all, Gu was also deceived by this shadow forest thief, which made our coalition forces stranded in front of Tongguan for more than ten days!" Seeing Tan Xiong's dejected expression, Xiang Yu comforted him, and then He said again: "Guyi, the army will be exhausted tonight, attacking Tongguan day and night! Be sure to take down this pass that has blocked our coalition forces for more than ten days within five days!"

"Here!" Hearing Xiang Yu's order, all Chinese and martial artists stood up to accept the order.

Tongguan.

While Yinglin was looking at the topographic map of Tongguan and deliberating how to block the Chu army by the pass, Lieutenant General Xi Zhu hurried over.

"Why are you so panicked?" Shadow Forest General Xi Zhu was a little panicked, and asked with a frown.

"The generals' drums sounded in the camp of the Kwantung rebels, but the last general sent a sentry to investigate, but none of them came back!" Xi Chi clasped his hands and explained the reason for his panic, and then guessed: "Did the Kwantung rebels already know that the general is delaying time?" Act of?"

"There are many resourceful people among the rebels in the Guandong. I am afraid that my strategy will be known to them long ago. Xiang Yu did not attack us, but the Chu people attacked Hangu and then invaded Tongguan without stopping. The army is tired and needs time to repair, otherwise it will be early. Lead troops to attack me!" Ying Lin nodded, then put down the knife, pen and letter in his hand and said.

"Since the generals in the Kanto camp are gathered, the people of Chu must have finished repairing. General Xizhi, you quickly ordered all ministries to take strict precautions to prevent rebels from attacking the city at night!"

"Here!" Xi Chu hurriedly cupped his hands, and hurriedly went to deliver the order.

Xi Zhu went to send an order, and Yinglin hurriedly ordered people to invite the people from the Black Ice Terrace stationed in Tongguan.

Soon, the people from the Black Ice Terrace hurriedly sent the memorial of the Shadow Forest to Xianyang.

It was dark, and the lights were lit above Tongguan.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, Yinglin felt more and more uneasy.Then, he ordered to increase the number of sergeants patrolling the wall.

On the wall of Tongguan Pass, the number of patrolling soldiers of the Qin Army more than doubled from the previous day.

The sergeant on duty complained very much. After all, although he was on duty at night before, he still had time to sleep secretly for a while.But no matter how much he complained, the sergeant on duty couldn't change his general's order, so he stood slack and yawned.

The night was getting darker, and the originally bright moon in the sky was also covered by clouds floating from nowhere.

The sergeants on duty at Tongguan began to droop their heads, and the patrolling sergeants saw the sergeant dozing off with his back against the city wall many times.The captain, who was very considerate of these sergeants, had no choice but to turn a blind eye and pretend that he hadn't seen it.

Inside the city gate tower, Xi Zhu sat on the desk and looked at the map.

Xi Chu returned home after transmitting the order from Yinglin, feeling more and more uneasy like Yinglin, so he went to the gate tower to be on duty after dinner.

"Xi Zhuo, I'll just guard the wall tonight, but you're here too!" said Dong Qujin, the school lieutenant who was also the right-hand man of Yinglin with Xi Zhuo, as he took off his cloak.

"I can't feel at ease at home, so I'm here to be your company!" Xi Zhu heard Dong Qu's voice and looked away from the map. Seeing Dong Qu still taking off his cloak, although he felt a little unhappy, he didn't say anything, so he had no choice but to Tell me why you are here.

"Like the general, you are too careful! This month, the dark wind is high and you can't see it if you are a little farther away. The rebels from the Kanto are back to attack the city?" Hearing what Xi Zhu said, Dong Qu shook his head and smiled.

Afterwards, Dong Qu ignored the west switch and went straight to a wooden bed not far away.

"Then sleep for a while, and I will wake you up in the middle of the night! I won't let you suffer, and tomorrow night, XX will also come to this city gate to guard with you!" Sitting on the edge of the bed, she took off her boots and hadn't lay down yet. Dong Qu said to Xi Shu.

"Okay!" Seeing this, Xi Chu couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

Without responding to Xi Chu, Dong Qu fell asleep on the wooden bed.

Outside Tongguan City, in the dense forest.

The elite Chu army, who had been in ambush for several hours, sent out sentries to watch the situation above Tongguan secretly, and then they would report back to Pu Wu, who was the general of the night attack.

Pu Wu looked at Zhong Limei, the Lieutenant General of the Qinglong Army beside him, and suddenly asked: "General Zhongli thinks it's time to attack Tongguan?"
