The Qin army attacked the city. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest

The short four words are like a heavy weight on the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

The dark Qin army was stationed only a few miles away from the city.

Just at a glance, there will be no less than tens of thousands of people.

As for the border town called Chenggao, perhaps not many people know it by this name, but it has another name, Hulao.

Hulaoguan is connected to Songyue Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains and ridges are criss-crossed, forming a natural danger. There is a situation where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. This is a natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack. To break through this pass, it is not because it is difficult for an army several times larger to break through, but because it is an important place for troops to use.

However, Chenggaoguan now belongs to South Korea, and it is a city on the border of South Korea on the border of Zhou State.

The state of Zhou was weak and unable to attack South Korea at all, and Chenggao was a dangerous pass, so the King of Han was naturally less vigilant about this place.

However, South Korea is facing the land of Qin in the west, so the strategic deployment focuses on the western border, and the city defense here is less.

On the first day before the Qin army arrived in the city, all the soldiers began to hastily prepare to deploy their defenses.

In the city, even counting the civilian men recruited temporarily, the military strength is only 20,000.

The leading general is just a little-known general.

"General." The South Korean soldier quickly ran to the leading general, and handed the roll of sackcloth in his hand to the general.

"How?" The general took the sackcloth with a pale face, and a simple picture was drawn on it.

Many scouts in the army cannot write, so drawing has become a common method.

"Already camped?"

"Yes." The soldier stood aside: "Nearly 100,000 people have already stationed by the river."

The face of the general of "One Hundred Thousand People" became even uglier.

One hundred thousand people, one hundred thousand people crossed the border between Zhou and South Korea to attack the city, why there was no news before!

Those defenders in front of the city are all blind!

He took a long breath: "Do you know who the general opposite is?"

"I don't know." The soldier lowered his head and shook his head: "However, there is a report first, and I saw a general in white robes, wearing a visor, maybe a general of one party."

"White-robed general?" The Korean general froze for a moment, as if he had thought of something, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"At this point, we can't control so much. Call everyone to guard the pass."

"The natural danger of the tiger prison is not so easy for people to break through."

"Chenggao Pass."

Gu Nan sat on Brother Hei's back, standing on a high slope of a mountain, overlooking Cheng Gao below.

The strong wind blew her hair, and the white cloak on her back was pulled tight.

It was a bit cold on the hillside, but the internal breath in her body was circulating on its own, and the cold air was dissipated before it entered.

Meng Ao took the reins of the horse, stepped forward on the horse, and looked along the hillside.

Chenggao Pass is connected with continuous mountains on one side and Taotao River on the other.

Such a city stands in the middle, with only one narrow way to attack it.

Unlike ordinary cities, if it is an ordinary city, it is mainly surrounded by four sides. There are only 20,000 militiamen in the city, so it is not difficult to break the city.

However, given Chenggao's terrain, the 100,000 troops can only attack from the front, and if they drive straight in, the roads are narrow, and the soldiers are shrunk, the number of troops that can confront South Korea head-on will not exceed a few thousand.

The rest of the people couldn't cross the steep mountain road, and couldn't cross the raging river, so they could only be squeezed in the middle and couldn't do anything.

The side defending the city can relax and wait for work, and breaking the city will never happen overnight.

"It's a natural danger." Gu Nan stood behind Meng Ao: "I'm afraid it will be very difficult to break through this city quickly."

"No." Meng Ao who was standing in front of him suddenly said.

Gu Nan was a little puzzled.

Meng Ao stroked his beard unhurriedly: "Although King Han is cowardly, he is not an ignorant person. He will understand that I, Da Qin, took Cheng Gao to use troops against Wei."

"Similarly, Zhou Wei also naturally understands. King Han is mostly waiting and watching now. If Zhou Wei sends troops, our Great Qin will be weak. When the two armies confront each other, he will naturally be able to intervene and reap the benefits."

"But if Zhou Wei doesn't come out, or if our Great Qin is strong, he might just give up Cheng Gao and lead us to attack Wei."

"When the two armies are at war, he will enter the game again and gain one or two, which will also be profitable."

"The abacus is very clever."

"I just don't know if I can eat it."

Meng Ao pulled the rein in his hand and turned the horse's head.

"I just need to put enough pressure on King Cheng Han, and it won't be long before Cheng Gao will be sent to the door by the King Han himself."

After finishing speaking, Meng Ao rode his horse and stepped on the dirt road on the mountain, preparing to go down the mountain.

so

Gu Nan frowned, thought for a while, and finally made sense.

She didn't think as much as Meng Ao, she really deserved to be a general of the older generation, and her grasp of the situation was far from that of someone like her who has only been a soldier for less than ten years.

"However, if we want to put enough pressure on Na Chenggao, we still have to do something."

"Tomorrow's attack on the city, the first battle is extremely important. I would like to ask your troops to join the battle."

There is no terrain to besiege, there is only one side to attack the city, and there are no more than a few thousand people who can take the lead. No matter how strong the army is, the first battle is extremely important, so the first round of the thousand-man army that rushed to the city would be the best. choose.

"It's what you want."

Gu Nan nodded, and pulled Hei Ge's horse's head.

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, in the royal palace, a man paced up and down the hall, his face was very ugly.

Hands behind their backs, sighing from time to time.

"Is it true that Qin State attacked South Korea?"

King Zhou looked resentful, but he was also powerless to show fear.

The courtier who wrote the letter nodded his head: "Qin's army has already arrived outside Chenggao Pass. If you want to come, they will attack the city soon."

"Snapped."

King Zhou clapped his hand on the pillar beside him, and said through gritted teeth.

"This is the Tiger Wolf Qin Kingdom."

However, today's Eastern Zhou Dynasty is only a city, and it is no longer the Zhou royal family.

"Come here." Zhou Wang took a deep breath: "I want to draw a brief."

Xianyang City.

The weather was getting colder, and Ying Zichu was wearing a fur cloak, and his cough became more and more serious, and from time to time, a trace of blood could be seen after coughing. Many imperial physicians have already checked, most of them said that if the king of Qin didn't rest and recuperate, the disease would be difficult to recover.

But Ying Zichu didn't take it too seriously, it was just a cough, and he couldn't stop now.

"Cough cough."

In the slightly cold courtyard, Lu Buwei sat in front of Ying Zichu.

The two are playing chess.

On the chessboard, black and white two sons are indistinguishable.

Lu Buwei smiled and put away the white pieces in his hand, and put them aside: "Your Majesty's chess skills are really getting better and better."

"Heh." Ying Zichu chuckled lightly, "Mr. Lu is serious."

"So, the king summoned me this time, isn't it just to play chess?"

Ying Zichu said that he always liked to play chess before important matters. I don't know if it's his habit. People who are familiar with him know some of it.

Since Ying Zichu asked him to play chess, he knew very well that he had something important to entrust to him.

"Ahem." Ying Zichu smiled at Lu Buwei while holding a sunspot.

"Mr. Lu understands me."
