Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 327 Entering Xianyang (17)

After Dong Yi arrived in Shangyi, he reorganized the Qin army under Tao She, and then mixed all the soldiers of the Qin army with the 6000 troops of his own army.

After the reorganization, the number of troops temporarily belonging to Commander Dong Yi reached 9.After reporting to Xiang Yu, Dong Yi handed over one of the soldiers and horses to Tao She as the commander of the 9 horses.

After finishing dealing with the affairs in Shangyi, Dong Yi sent Luo Jia to lead 2 soldiers under his command and [-] auxiliary soldiers, a total of [-] horses, to Wuguan to change defenses.

Huang Xin and Shen Li, who were stationed at Wuguan, did not want to station at the pass for a long time. After Luo Jia led the troops to arrive, they readily changed their defenses, and then rushed to Shangyi with nearly 8 troops under his command to obey orders.

After Huangxin and Shenli arrived, Dong Yi of Shangyi asked Xiang Yu again who should be in charge of the more than [-] horses.

After Xiang Yu received Dong Yi's request for instructions, he ordered in the name of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces that the coalition forces in Shangyi should be led by Dong Yi, with Huang Xin and Shen Li as assistants to jointly attack Yaoguan.

After Dong Yi and the other three received their orders, they marched towards Gaoguan while coordinating with the soldiers of the coalition army.

峣 Guan.

The allied forces of Wei, Han, and Chu in front of the Guan were lined up neatly, and everyone was full of energy and fighting spirit.On the other hand, the Qin army above the pass, if Zhao Wei, the captain guarding the pass, hadn't personally gone up to the city wall to boost morale, the soldiers of the Qin army would have abandoned the pass and fled long ago.

Unfavorable news continued to come from the north, so that the nearly ten thousand soldiers guarding the pass had no intention of guarding the pass.In addition to the original 5000 soldiers guarding the pass, some of the soldiers in the pass were the former Wuguan defenders who were ordered to withdraw after Tao She arrived at Wuguan, and some were Ding Zhuang recruited from all over the pass.

Zhao Ti is from the royal family of Qin. He yearned for the life of a military camp since he was a child, but because of his identity, he has been unable to join the army to fight for Qin.Fortunately, when Hu Hai came to the throne and Zhao Gao was in power, Zhao Dai, who saw the opportunity, gave Zhao Gao most of his family's land and money and got the post of Captain of Gaoguan.

"My lord! Arrows, wood, stones, and boiling oil are all ready! If this enemy army dares to attack the city, it will surely return in disastrous defeat!" Just as Zhao Ti was watching the allied forces outside the gate tower, he imagined that he could rely on Yaoguan was about to defeat this army, and when he was rewarded by Emperor Xianyang III Ziying in Xianyang Palace, the deputy general Wei Zhaogong handed over his hand and made his own judgment.

"Okay!" Zhao Ti applauded loudly after clapping his hands, and then said to Zhao Gong: "With Captain Zhao here, I will have more confidence in defending Gaoguan! Once the Kwantung rebellion under the city is defeated, I will definitely submit to Your Majesty." Recommend Captain Zhao! I believe His Majesty will reward you generously!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhaogong thanked Zhao Ti gratefully.

Zhaogong was a veteran of the Qin army, and he followed Wang Jian and Wang Ben to conquer the countries in the Guandong.Relying on military merits step by step to achieve five hundred masters, and was transferred to Gaoguan to guard.Originally, there were many officers in the Gaoguan garrison who had fought against various countries in the Guandong, but after Zhao Gao took power, many of them retired and returned to their hometowns because of their age, so that after Zhao became the captain of Gaoguan, the entire pass There is only one Zhaogong left.

After Zhao Ti arrived at Yaoguan, he looked for an opportunity to transfer the two original school captains away, and asked Zhao Gong and his family general Zhao Banzai to be promoted to school captains.Therefore, Zhaogong gave up his thoughts of retiring from his old age and returning to his hometown, and continued to assist Zhao Ti in Yaoguan.

Just when Zhaogong was about to speak, the allied forces in front of the pass began to beat drums and attack.

Huang Xin and Shen Li wanted to be conferred the title of Duke and Jianguo after conquering Xianyang like Tian Heng and others, so they took the initiative to take on the task of attacking Gaoguan.

When Dong Yi ordered the siege of the city, Shen Li's younger brother Du Wei Shen Yi personally led [-] Korean infantry, and Huang Xin's general Wei Gang also led [-] Wei Guo infantry to fight desperately towards Gaoguan.

The closed and closed arrows hit their respective enemies from time to time under the shooting of the crossbowmen. Under the orders of their respective commanders, the Wei and Han armies continued to attack the city wall of Gaoguan without hesitation.

Zhao Ti and Zhao Gong, who originally had great confidence in guarding the pass, were a little dumbfounded. The prepared stones and wooden beams could not stop the enemy from climbing upwards, and even the use of boiling oil only slowed down the enemy's pace. .After one of the enemy troops on the ladder falls, there will be two more on the ladder to continue climbing

Soon, the infantry of the Wei army took the lead to climb the city wall, and Zhao Ti and Zhao Gong hurriedly led the soldiers to kill there.After beheading the infantry of the Wei army and overturning the ladder, the infantry of the Han army also boarded the city wall.

After Zhao Ti and Zhaogong repelled several enemy troops who had climbed the city wall, Zhao Ti ordered Zhao Banzai to lead the reserve team to climb the city wall.

With Zhao Banzai's reserve team, the city wall can be regarded as holding.

Under the city, Dong Yi saw that the Wei and Han armies had lost a lot. Although they attacked the city wall several times, they were quickly repelled by the Qin army and ordered to call for gold.

The soldiers of Wei and Han left more than 2000 corpses and began to retreat. Although the Qin army defended the city wall, nearly a thousand people died in battle.

Seeing the enemy's retreat, Zhao ordered to repair and prepare to resist the enemy's second attack...

After resisting the three attacks of the Wei and Han coalition forces, Zhao Ti couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to escape from Yaoguan.

"Captain Zhao! I will leave the wall to you. I will go back to the mansion to rest for a while!" Zhao Ti instructed Zhao Gong who was eating dry food and drinking water.

"Here!" Duke Zhao thought that Zhao Ti really wanted to go back to rest, so he cupped his hands in response, and then said to Zhao Ti, "Your Excellency, just go to rest, and my subordinates will definitely guard the wall of Yaoguan to prevent the enemy from advancing any further!"

Zhao Ti nodded, and then ordered his soldiers to look for Zhao Zhaizai.

Back at the guard's mansion, Zhao Dai immediately ordered people to collect the gold and silver, looked for horses and carriages and began to prepare to escape from Yaoguan.

When the coalition forces finished their lunch, the fourth offensive began.

Zhaogong led more than [-] soldiers to resist the attack of more than [-] enemy troops. When the battle was in full swing, some soldiers came to report.

"Master Captain! The general escaped!"

The news of Zhao Ti's escape caused the Qin army on the city wall to panic, and Zhao Gong was at a loss for a while.

Just when Zhaogong was at a loss, soldiers kept fleeing from Gaoguan.

Seeing that the force resisted by the city wall of Gaoguan was getting smaller and smaller, the allied forces of Wei and Han who passed the pass attacked more violently.

Only when Zhaogong lost a lot of guards around him did Zhaogong realize that he was still on the battlefield.Zhaogong, who came back to his senses, saw that the coalition forces and the Qin army were fighting around him, so he knew that the coalition forces attacked the city wall while he was in a daze.

Picking up his sword, Zhaogong kept reaping the lives of the soldiers of the Wei and Han armies.

Fortunately, Wei Gang also went up to the city wall at this time. Seeing that Duke Zhao was beheading his own soldiers, he picked up his long spear and killed them.

Zhaogong is a veteran fighter, although he is proficient in martial arts, he can't compare with the brave generals in his prime, but he persisted for more than [-] rounds before being killed by Wei Gang.

Without Zhaogong, the Yaoguan garrison could no longer hold on, and people kept fleeing and surrendering.
