The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 657: Capture Two Levels! Start defending!

Mengfang's 20,000 soldiers and horses are quickly reorganizing and gathering, preparing to go south to protect Nanli Pass, and they must not be captured by Xia Guo's soldiers and horses.

When the soldiers and horses were gathering, some of Chen Kai's cavalry fled over in a panic. Meng Fang personally met them and asked about the situation.

"When General Chen led us to retreat to Nanli Pass, we encountered a premeditated ambush by the enemy. General Chen died in battle, and the other brothers suffered heavy losses. Only a small number escaped. The number of enemies is large, estimated to be as many as 50,000 to 60,000 , almost surrounded us." The soldier's voice was still trembling.

Meng Fang asked other people, and the words were similar. Those who were frustrated would subconsciously think that the enemy was very powerful. They didn't even know how many soldiers Xia Guo had, but they would think of many, many, if not many, how could they be killed so much? Tragic!

And this misunderstanding naturally affected Meng Fang. Meng Fang immediately notified the lieutenant general to set off, and at the same time sent messengers to Tonglu County to dispatch troops. This time, Xia Guo's troops must be encircled and suppressed.

In this way, Meng Fang led his 20,000 soldiers and horses to the south to leave the pass.

It is said that Meng Fang sent a messenger to inform Zhou Yi on the North Road, and ordered him to retreat to the North Shuguan. Unfortunately, before he reached the place, he was intercepted by people sent by Han Xin.

Han Xin guessed Meng Fang's behavior clearly.

After making sure that Meng Fang had sent troops, Han Xin led the troops out of the forest and launched an attack on Zhou Yi's 20,000 soldiers.

More than 30,000 people assisted, and 5,000 troops were fortified in the west to prevent Zhou Yi's soldiers from going to the North Hub to report the news. Moreover, Han Xin led the troops himself.

As a general, Zhou Yi naturally led people to return to Beihu Pass, but unfortunately he also encountered Xia Jun who was in ambush. This time it was daytime, and they were wiped out directly, and Zhou Yi also died in battle.

After the war, the sun went down.

Afterwards, a part of Han Xin's army swept the battlefield, selected uninjured soldiers, and formed more than 20,000 soldiers. They changed into Qin soldiers' costumes, pretended to be Qin soldiers, and began to go west.

In the middle of the night, Han Xin led them to the front of Beishu Pass.

Beishuguan, a majestic pass built on the Qinling Mountains, has a towering city wall, making it difficult to win by storm. As long as this strong pass is held, the communication channel between Dongqi area and Qin State will be blocked, so the strategic significance is very huge.

The original plan was to pretend to be the fleeing Qin army, but now there is no need for it. Han Xin directly pretended to be a soldier of Zhou Yi, because the North Shuguan had not received the news of the attack of the Great Xia soldiers, so the general guarding the pass did not have much doubts, but only confirmed their establishment. At this time, Han Xin happened to have a letter from Mengfang in his hand Let them retreat into the North Hub.

This letter made the guarding general more confident, and just like that, he approached the North Hub smoothly.

It was late, and Han Xin told the soldiers to rest earlier on the grounds that the journey was hard. Although the general guarding the gate felt that the soldiers and horses were a little strange, and asked Han Xin some things, he was prevaricated, but he couldn't tell where the strangeness was.

late at night.

Han Xin released the signal, and his soldiers began to act.

There are only 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding the pass, and they were suddenly attacked by the side, so the result can be imagined! The 20,000 soldiers and horses were almost wiped out, and the Beishu Pass fell directly.

In the early morning of the next day, under the leadership of Wei Guang, the Daxia soldiers behind rushed to the outside of the North Shuttle Pass. However, more than 10,000 people did not go to the city, but formed a formation in front of the city pass, as if they were going to attack the city.

On the other hand, Han Xin and his soldiers at the city gate still wore the costumes of Qin soldiers, pretending to be the Qin army guarding the pass, and let some people enter Wei Guang's team, making the number of Xia's army seem to be forty to fifty thousand.

Hey, the two sides actually sang a double reed.

Then, arrange for the dead men to pretend to be Qin soldiers and go to the atrium to report the news.

As soon as the gatekeeper of the atrium heard that Daxia soldiers and horses were attacking Beihuguan, he immediately sent his servants to investigate the situation. He already knew from Meng Fang that there were Xia troops raging in Shanyuan County, so he didn't feel it. Xia Jun.

During this investigation, the spies brought back information about Xia Jun's arrival at the North Hub, including the basic situation of Xia Jun. And the spies also said that there seemed to be a battle between the two sides, and there were bloodstains on the city gate that had not been cleaned up.

This just proved what the soldiers sent for help by Han Xin said that the Qin army almost attacked the city pass and defended it at all costs.

The gates are divided into inner and outer gates. The three gates were originally built by the State of Zhao. Naturally, the east side is inside the city. There are wide stairs on both sides of the gates, which can be freely climbed up and down. Outside the city is the towering city wall. Therefore, it is easier to take the city gate from the inside, no need to borrow climbing equipment, just kill it.

The gatekeeper of the atrium saw the danger of the North Shuguan, and immediately dispatched 13,000 troops to the north to support the Beishu Pass. At the same time, he sent an urgent report to General Mengfang to inform him of the matter.

At this time, Meng Fang was chasing Dian Wei, and was led by Dian Wei to the south of Shanyuan County, which was more than 300 li away from Zhongting Pass, and even farther from Beishu Pass, which was beyond his reach.

When the 13,000 soldiers from Zhongting Pass arrived at Beishu Pass, they encountered an ambush. Han Xin set up a trap and waited for them to drill, so how could he let him escape.

After annihilating the more than 10,000 Qin troops, Han Xin rashly attacked Zhongting Pass again with 20,000 soldiers.

So far, Han Xin has won the two passes of the North Hub and the Atrium by making a series of countermeasures.

There were nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, and Dian Wei took away 30,000. Excluding the dead and wounded, Han Xin had nearly 40,000 left. He led 15,000 people to guard the atrium, and Wei Guang and other deputy generals guarded the north hub with other soldiers and horses.

Next, the camps of both sides changed.

Han Xin had to defend these two city gates to block Qin's plunder, and wait for Chen Qingzhi's soldiers to arrive.

As I said just now, it is easy to attack the city from inside the city gate, so the next time will be the biggest test for Han Xin and others.

Because once it is known that the three passes of the Qinling Mountains are lost, the Qin army in the eastern and western regions will take all the three passes, and the Qin army will kill them faster than Chen Qingzhi. After all, Chen Qingzhi's troops are still in Zhaodu County. There are two counties in between.

In order to defend the two passes, Han Xin and Wei Guang started to move. They piled up the stairs with earth and rocks, blocking the climbing passage.

Secondly, they did not carry many arrow feathers. Although they confiscated the Qin army's equipment, they only had part of it. So they felled wood, sharpened bamboo, and made the most primitive weapons.

When the two city gates were in full swing, the fleeing Qin army passed the news of the loss of the two gates to Meng Fang. After Meng Fang heard it, he froze there for a moment.

In the past few days, he led troops to encircle and suppress Dianwei, and the 50,000 troops from Tonglu County were rushing towards here, and they were about to arrive. Who would have thought that the two gates of Beishu and Zhongting would be lost!

How can it be!

Meng Fang was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had miscalculated.

I fell into the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and the Beishu Pass and Zhongting Pass were tricked by a series of tricks, and they fell and were occupied!

"Damn it, damn it! Notify me immediately, and go to the Atrium Pass immediately!" Meng Fang ordered immediately, and now it's a big deal to get back to Chengguan.

"Also, immediately report to General Meng Yi and inform the court that more troops must be sent! Where are the soldiers and horses from Tonglu County? Why are they so slow? Even shit can't keep up with the hot ones!"

Meng was in a hurry, Meng Yi handed over the important task of guarding the gate to him, and even explained to him before leaving, but he didn't expect that he was still careless.

The only good thing now is that Xia Jun can't have too many people, and they came in a hurry and lack of equipment, so they must take back the three levels at any cost.

Once Xia Guo's reinforcements arrive, it will be really troublesome.

 …

After Meng Yi of Qingchuan County got rid of Temujin, he prepared to deal with the incoming Xia army. But in the past few days, he suddenly discovered that after Xia Jun entered Tianshui County, the marching speed slowed down, which made Meng Yi suddenly realize a dangerous signal, that is, whether Xia Jun was delaying time.

Why delay?

Meng Yi's strategic vision was much higher than that of his cousin Meng Fang, and he immediately guessed that the purpose of delaying time might be related to the three passes of Qinling Mountains.

"Han Xin, Han Xin...everyone says that you lead troops like a god. If you really take the risk to capture the Qinling Pass, then someone in Meng will really admire you. Not everyone has such courage!" Meng Yi Sighing, he immediately ordered the army to turn around, no longer going east, but heading southwest.

Two days later, the Eagle News sent the latest information.

The Atrium and the North Pivot are lost!

When the news spread, all the generals next to Meng Yi were stunned, it was really unexpected and unbelievable.

Meng Yi sighed, what he was most worried about happened!

"Immediately notify all the cavalry to rush to Beihu Pass, and along the way, notify the soldiers and horses of all counties to go to Shanyuan County, attack the courtyard and Beishu, and at the same time set up defenses at the main passage of Shanyuan County to resist Xia Guo's reinforcements! The loss of the two passes is not terrible, we There is still a chance to get it back, once Xia Guo’s reinforcements are replenished, then the troubles will begin!”

Meng Yi made a final decision, calming down the emotions of all the generals.

Then began to dispatch troops and horses to strictly guard against Shanyuan County. As long as Shanyuan County is defended and the reinforcements from the Great Xia cannot get through, then they can breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that Han Xin's military operation is dangerous this time, how could he not consider the follow-up situation!

Chen Qingzhi has already entered Zhaodu County. He didn't know that Han Xin had won two passes. He was just going west to support according to the time agreed with Han Xin. So what Meng Yi didn't expect was that Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses were entering Xichuan County, faster than him, and still at the fastest marching speed.

Secondly, the Xia army's stronger reinforcements have crossed the Qi River, and a cavalry force of 30,000 has entered Yanzhou County, chasing Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses, and there are more soldiers and horses crossing the river behind. They will be Han Xin's strongest Great backup.

The next step is to see if Han Xin can survive the most dangerous few days. As long as he can hold on, reinforcements will arrive.

Han Xin also thought about guarding only one pass, so that more troops could be gathered and the resistance time would be longer.

But later, from a strategic plan, it was decided to defend the two levels at the same time, guarding them with their lives.
