Chapter 989: The Magnificent Power of Han (One Hundred and Thirteen)

Under the scorching sun, the war horse was panting heavily and seemed a little tired. Under the shade of a big tree, Li Xin sat on the saddle. Although the weather was extremely hot, he was still fully armed and did not even take off his helmet. When he came down, sweat dripped down from his face, forming a wetland in front of him.

"General, Hangu Pass has been lost." A knight came galloping towards him. About ten feet in front of Li Xin, the knight dismounted, walked a few steps quickly, and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Xin.

"Is anyone breaking out?" Li Xin's face remained calm, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"No, no one has come out. There are three thousand soldiers at Hangu Pass, as well as Changping City and Yangfeng City. I'm afraid our troops are gone." The knight whispered.

Li Xin nodded, "There is always a price to pay, and this is the price. It's just a pity that Chongguang, a fierce general, Chongguang, I'm very sorry, I can't tell you the truth, if I told you the truth, you wouldn't have There are many wise people among the Zhao army who are determined to die. If we let them see something is wrong, everything will be in vain, but your sacrifice will be exchanged for a great victory, a great victory that can destroy the country."

He turned around and mounted his horse, "Let's go, it's our turn next."

At Hangu Pass, the Qin flag that had been flying for countless years was rolled up and thrown on the ground, allowing people to trample on it. Above the flagpole, flying high was the flag of Zhao. Three days ago, Jing Rufeng He led nearly 100,000 troops across Hangu Pass and headed straight for Xianyang. After crossing Hangu Pass, in front of him was the endless Guanzhong Plain, with no danger to defend. Zhao Jin, the governor of Hedong County, led two thousand soldiers. He stayed at Hangu Pass. In addition to guarding this pass, he was also responsible for the logistics and transportation to ensure smooth logistics for the army.

Hangu Pass is a military fortress. There are only soldiers here. This makes Zhao Jin very regretful. After taking Hangu Pass, Zhao State has accomplished an unprecedented feat in dozens or hundreds of years, but there is no silk bamboo to congratulate it, and beautiful women are dancing. Sitting alone and drinking at this moment can not help but seem very boring. The bowls of dishes on the table were cooked by military cooks. They were more abundant, but they were not exquisite or delicious at all. This greatly reduced Zhao Jin's appetite. He himself is a meticulous person who never tires of fine food and fine food.

Nothing happened in the pass. Today I can only stay in the empty bed alone. I fell asleep early and met my beautiful concubine in my dream. I hope the court can move faster so that someone can take over Hangu Pass. , he was able to return to his comfort zone early, but he celebrated well. He captured Hangu Pass. From then on, Hedong County was no longer threatened by foreign enemies. Zhao Jin began to look forward to his future life. He could run Hedong County well. This was his own responsibility. His hometown. Over the years, the confrontation with the Qin army has dragged him to death.

Zhao Jin quickly fell asleep with endless reverie.

Just when Zhao Jin fell asleep, Bai Qi suddenly opened his eyes. In the darkness, a pair of eyes shone brightly. He stretched his limbs with some difficulty and found that his hands and feet were almost numb. Thinking about it, who Hiding on the ground for several days, nestled in this place where it is almost impossible to move, is really not something ordinary people can do.

Turning sideways, he barely squeezed out of the place where he was staying, and climbed all the way to the exit of the tunnel. There, a soldier was putting his ear against the wooden board, listening to the sounds outside.

"How is it?" He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Everything is normal!" the soldier whispered, "The brother who went out to explore the situation will be back soon. When he comes back, we will know exactly what it is like outside."

"We have been here for six days. Counting from the day Hangu Pass was lost, this is already the fourth day. According to the general's deployment, it should be almost done." Bai Qi grinned with white teeth. It looks really scary in the dark.

"I've been suffocated these past few days." The soldier stretched his arms hard, "I have to deal with eating, drinking, and diarrhea here. General Bai, smell this."

Bai Qi smiled, "Can you still smell it?"

The soldier was stunned, "I really can't smell it anymore."

"I've been in the abalone house for a long time without knowing its smell, and I've been in the orchid house for a long time without smelling its fragrance. Now, everything I smell smells the same," Bai Qi said.

There was a gentle tapping sound on the wooden board outside. Bai Qi looked solemn and moved back. The soldier opened a gap in the wooden board and a thin man in black squeezed in.

"How's it going?"

"As we predicted before, there are not many enemies in the pass, and they are defenseless." The thin man in black could not restrain his excitement, "General Bai, it's time."

"It's time!" Bai Qi gritted his teeth, "It's time to avenge the brothers who died in the battle." A few days ago, all three thousand Qin soldiers guarding Hangu Pass died in battle, and they obeyed the military orders and Although he was on the ground of Hangu Pass, he couldn't move at all. He could only crush the tiger's teeth and swallow it into his stomach. What he did was to deliver the fatal blow now.

This was an important part of Li Xin's plan to encircle and annihilate the 100,000-strong army of Zhao's Hedong camp. In advance, he dug countless tunnels under Hangu Pass and hid tigers underneath them. After Zhao's army captured Hangu Pass, he saw the right opportunity and Recapture Hangu Pass, cut off the Zhao army's retreat and supply routes, and seal the Zhao army on the Guanzhong Plain.

In order to do this, the soldiers guarding Hangu Pass were all newly transferred soldiers, and the commander Chongguang was also transferred from Changping. They were completely unaware of all this. If you don't know, you will fight to the death to defeat the enemy. all doubts.

Of course, the most important part of this is naturally Jing Runei. Having this biggest support is the reason why Li Xin confirmed that this battle is foolproof.

Bai Qi has a total of 2,000 men, and Li Xin has hidden another 3,000 soldiers in the mountains outside Hangu Pass. After Bai Qi retakes Hangu Pass, they will arrive quickly to assist Bai Qi in defending Hangu Pass. Guguan.

There is no moon tonight, only the lanterns and torches in the pass are flickering with faint light. In the middle of the night, Hangu Pass has fallen into a dead silence. In some unexplained corners, miscellaneous rooms, and even toilets, The seemingly normal walls and the ground moved strangely, and then people dressed in black and holding steel knives emerged from inside like ghosts from hell, and groups of people pounced on them silently. predetermined goals.

"It's dry and dry, be careful of the candles!" The watchman was walking alone on the empty street, holding his clapper. Every time he walked a certain distance, he banged his clapper three times and shouted a few words at the top of his lungs. There was no one on the street. , even the patrol team could not be seen, which made the watchman very dissatisfied. It seemed that he was the only one in Hangu Pass who was still working hard.

"This Governor Zhao is really not a man who leads troops. He is so lax in his vigilance. Those big-headed soldiers are really looking for food. The generals who led the troops are gone, so they took the opportunity to be lazy!" the watchman shouted angrily, He banged the clapper louder and roared louder.

"You idiots, if you want to be lazy and sleep, I will make it difficult for you to sleep!" the watchman thought proudly. Suddenly there was a rustling sound in front of him. The watchman took a few steps forward, and his eyes suddenly widened. Under the dim light, he actually saw a piece of wall suddenly move to the side. He almost thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously. When he opened his eyes again, there was indeed a big hole suddenly opened in the wall, and someone crawled through it. A guy with a black body and a black face appeared. Seeing this black thing propped up on the wall like a tiger, it rushed towards him. The watchman made a sound in his throat and straightened back. Fall down.

Bai Qi pierced the knife, but it suddenly failed because the opponent fell backwards. He was shocked, and he rushed forward, pressing down with one knee, and there was a click, and the crisp sound of bone cracking sounded, and he felt a little at ease. When Dingqing looked at it again, the opponent's pupils were widened. He had been frightened to death long before he delivered this fatal blow. A foul smell came from his nose. He couldn't help but secretly sigh. He had just emerged from the hole and breathed. When I took my first breath of fresh air, before I had time to enjoy it, I seemed to be back in that cramped and smelly narrow tunnel.

Zhao Jin slept soundly. In his dream, he returned to Handan. Because he captured Hangu Pass, hundreds of thousands of troops marched towards Xianyang, forcing King Wulie of Qin to sign an alliance under the city. Zhao became the world's leader in one fell swoop. The overlord, and he also became famous all over the world because of this battle. Countless beauties with gold, silver and wealth flew towards him. Just when he was in a state of elation, there was a roar, but the door was knocked open from the outside.

Zhao Jin was awakened from his dream, and Gulu rolled out of the bed. Before he could react, an angry voice came to his ears: "Chief Zhao, the Qin army is attacking at night, the Qin army is attacking at night."

Zhao Jin got up from the ground, wiped his face, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no Qin army in Guanzhong!"

But as soon as he said these words, he himself was stunned, because countless shouts of killing were coming from all directions inside Hangu Pass.

"Ambush, the Qin army has an ambush in Hangu Pass!" The general of the Zhao army who rushed in was obviously much more experienced than Zhao Jin. His face was pale at this moment. He was not only thinking about the safety of Hangu Pass, but also It depends on the survival of the entire Hedong camp. If the Qin army laid an ambush in the pass first and watched thousands of Qin soldiers who had previously guarded the pass die in battle, it only shows how big their plans were.

The Qin army's goal was the entire Hedong camp.

After listening to the general's brief explanation, Zhao Jin's face turned pale, "Quickly, send someone to report to General Jing immediately, tell him to retreat immediately, retreat!"

"Understood!" The general turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Jin shouted again, "You, take people to protect me and rush out of the pass first, and then go and report the news." At this time, in the Hangu Pass, there were already flames everywhere, and the Qin army's shouts became louder and louder. The sound of the attack is getting louder, but the sound of Zhao Jun is getting weaker and weaker. Even if he is not a general, Zhao Jin knows that the Zhao army in the pass is probably in danger.
