Chapter 666: Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than countless people in the world

On the fifth day of the seventh month, the Qin army finally arrived outside Hulao Pass and set up camp fifteen miles away from the Qi army camp, and then there was no sound.

Zhao Wujiu knew that the enemy was raising energy, so how could Qin Lei fulfill his wish? He sent several light cavalry to raid the Qin army camp day and night.

The Qin army was too disturbed and could not rest at all. Qin Lei asked someone to make earplugs of cork and distribute them to the officers and soldiers, so that they could just sleep, even if the sky fell. The superstition of King Wucheng dispelled the officers and soldiers' worries, so they just ate and ate, ate after sleeping, and lived a pig-like life.

As for the Qi army that came to harass, Qin Lei only sent a small group of cavalry to wait outside the camp, and as long as it was driven away, it would not be a waste of time to chase him.

The generals did not know where the way out and were worried about the attack of Qi's army, so they were very nervous, so they went to Wang Shuai's place to find out.

Unexpectedly, Prince Yong refused and said, "Ask a ball? Just obey and do whatever you want. Let's go back and make a corpse. The sky falls and our brothers are holding it!"

The generals heard it. It turned out that this master was also aware of it, so how could he look far away? He surrounded Qin Li together, and a wave of flattery like 'My master', 'Ancestor' made Prince Yong dizzy. Then he asked casually: "What are you selling in the gourd?"

"What medicine is sold? dynamite!" Qin Li's face suddenly changed, he raised his whip, and said in a stance: "If you don't get out, you will stuff you all into the cannon barrel and shoot it out!" The generals had to scatter birds and beasts, but they didn't know that Prince Yong had already told them the answer.

The army rested peacefully for two days. On the seventh day of the seventh month, the sound of gathering drums finally sounded in the barracks. The officers and soldiers who were raising their strength carried their own equipment according to their subordinates, lined up in front of the camp, waiting for the prince's speech.

Qin Lei changed into a brand new handsome robe, holding the helmet in one hand and putting the other on the sword, strode to the army like a general about to enter the battle.

His eyes glanced at the military formation that could not be seen, but saw swords and guns, flags and flags, and the officers and soldiers' armor was neat and full. It seemed that two days of restoration had not been in vain.

After a few simple nonsense, he did not boost morale as usual, but poured a basin of cold water on his head: "But there is a bad news to know. Except for the three-day ration you carry, we have no grain of rice." As he spread his hands, he said with a very bad taste: "Our grain path and retreat route were cut off by the 500,000 Qi army, and it has reached the end of the road."

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and the excitement disappeared. They looked blankly at the densely packed chariots on the left side of the camp, with seven or eight thousand vehicles, and thought to themselves: "Isn't that food?" No wonder they were suspicious, because since ancient times, they had to go to the battle first... without food, they would be defeated without fighting. The Qin State was also well-supply, and when the officers and soldiers drove, they had to bring at least three or five months of food to go to the battle with confidence.

When they went on the war half a month ago, they did see with their own eyes that there were 30,000 civilians rushing to transport nearly 10,000 trucks of food and grass. Everyone was very happy at that time... Why did they disappear if they were gone?

Qin Lei saw the soldiers' suspicious expressions and laughed: "Reveal the tarpaulin and let them see what is inside?"

After ordering, the baggage soldiers uncovered the tarpaulin covering the chariot, revealing cannons, catapults, crossbows, and various ammunition that could pour out for three days and three nights.

"This madman!" Seeing that Qin Lei actually used a food truck to convert medium-sized weapons, Prince Yong, who was watching the fun, couldn't help but murmur: "But I like...hehe..."

But after all, there are not many crazy people like their brothers, and most of them are still normal. They stared at Shuai Wang in a daze, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

"And I can tell you!" Qin Leiyou felt it was not enough and continued to reveal: "After about four days, the 300,000 reinforcements from Chu State will go north to Hulao Pass. If we cannot resolve the battle within three days, we will be attacked from both sides and die without a burial place!"

When the officers and soldiers heard this, their faces turned green and thought to themselves: "No wonder you made us defeat the enemy in three days. It turns out that we had to defeat it."

"But don't be afraid!" Qin Lei said loudly: "Because everything today is under the plot of the Lonely King." As he said that, he turned around and pointed to the Hulao Pass in the distance, Shi Potian said shockedly: "Including these 500,000 Qi troops, it was because the Lonely King wanted to get it done once and for all that he gave the Hulao Pass to them! We are closing the door and beating the dogs, and we will definitely win a great victory!"

Although he was passionate, the officers and soldiers were still skeptical. Not to mention anything else, just talking about how difficult it is to fight Hulao Pass... Everyone still remembers it freshly and doesn't want to have a second time in their life.

This is Qin Lei’s prestige is at the peak of his life. If it were someone else, it would be strange if the officers and soldiers did not rebel.

Knowing what they were thinking, Qin Lei laughed and said, "Don't you believe it?"

Of course no one dared to respond, but no one said something like "We believe you are old."

Qin Lei was not angry either. He first brought his helmet, then took out his sword and said, "I am the only one who is the Prince of Wucheng of the Great Qin, and the honor of the Grand Marshal King promises you that as long as you rush with me to within five miles of the enemy, you will definitely be confident in victory!" As he said that, he shook the shiny sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Burn the camp!"

The black-clothed guards had already prepared a long time ago, holding a torch in the military camp. It was late summer and the weather was dry, so they rolled everyone's tents, bedding, clothes, and even the bowls and chopsticks for eating into the fire.

Everyone's faces turned green. Why did they even burn the food that they eat and sleep? Will it make people live?

The hateful voice of King Wucheng sounded again: "Without the burden of these baggage, we can move forward lightly and fight to the death with the enemy! If you want to have hot meals, let us go to the Qi State military camp to get the pot and cook!" As he said that, he pointed his sword in front of him and shouted loudly: "Set out!" and rushed out first.

Everyone saw that the retreat was gone and the bedding was gone. They knew that if they could not win this battle, no one would survive. They had to follow Qin Lei and rushed out. They thought to themselves, at least they would fight for a bloody road and grab a few bedding.

The explorer of Qi State reported the situation to Mr. Baisheng first. Zhao Wujiu was taking medicine. He put the bowl down and said, "It's finally here." He said, looking at Wu Zhilong and said, "Go to organize the team to form the array, I will arrive later."

Wu Zhilong won in a deep voice and quickly stepped out of the tent to go. After a while, the camp was full of chaos and noisy.

Yum Gong’s handsome tent is well-made and has good sound insulation, but it is still quiet inside.

The head guard carefully put on armor on the old man, for fear that his hands would be heavy for a moment, which part of him would cause discomfort. Seeing that he had just half of his clothes, the old marshal was sweating. The head guard said with a heartache: "Master, everyone knows that you are fierce. Even if we don't wear armor, no one will think about it."

"I'm not for others to wear." Zhao Wujiu shook his head slowly and said, "I have always had a wish to die in the battlefield and be covered with a body. If my body doesn't work, it won't work. If you have less chances at a time, you might not be able to wear them next time."

The head guard was a little surprised. This should be the longest sentence he had said to himself in the eight years of serving the master.

Seeing him dazed and dazed, Zhao Wujiu smiled faintly and said, "When people get old, they like to nag, don't mind."

"I dare not do it." The chief guard quickly calmed down, put his clothes neatly on Duke Yum, and carefully tied the spotless pure white cloak for him. Then he brought his helmet and asked softly: "Master, do you want to wear a helmet?"

Zhao Wujiu hesitated for a moment, finally shook his head slowly, and said in a voice: "No, it's too heavy."

"It's too heavy. Let's make someone lighter." The commander of the guard quickly said. In fact, this helmet is half lighter than the iron helmet used by ordinary generals. No matter how lighter you are, you can only find a leather hat to wear.

When the commander of the guard helped the old marshal onto the chariot and slowly drove out of the camp, the Qi army had basically completed the lineup, although there was still some noise to Yu Shenggong's ears from time to time. However, in the eyes of the strict old man, the formation of these people was just a good example, but they were all unqualified, which was a waste of his own efforts... The formation of restraining the Qin cavalry was explored by Zhao Wujiu for many years and was fully confirmed in the Battle of Muyehara. If it weren't for the damn strong wind, the Qin army would have turned the tables. The Qi army would have won a great victory and laid the foundation for kings and dominance from then on.

'Maybe I could have retired from all kinds of flowers, raised fish, and played with my grandchildren with a lot of fun.' Zhao Wujiu thought randomly. He was very likely to be immersed in this kind of reverie recently, so that Wu Zhilong had to shout several times before he could call him back.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Looking at the noble disciple who was holding the chariot and talking to him, Yum Sheng Gong said slowly.

"Mr., most of our troops have never been on the battlefield, and the officers and soldiers are generally nervous. So..." Looking at my husband nervously, Wu Zhilong whispered: "This time the student wants to invite the Yumeng Army to serve as avant-garde. First, to stabilize the morale of the army, and second, to let those newcomers learn and learn."

"You don't need to ask me about this." Zhao Wujiu said in a deep voice: "You are the commander-in-chief and have the right to mobilize any army." Although that is the case, my husband is still very satisfied with Wu Zhilong's ability to report first. This at least shows that Wu Zhilong did not want to seize power because of his old age and weak body.

"Yes!" Wu Zhilong left. He was able to survive as a military theorist until today, not by military books, but by his gentle skill.

Around the hour of Chen, the Qin army, which raised dust in the sky, finally appeared in Zhao Wujiu's sight. The husband's chariot was located on the hillside, and it was estimated that the distance between the two armies should be seven or eight miles. After a pause, he ordered people to raise a red flag.

As soon as he saw the flag, Wu Zhilong immediately ordered: "Prepare for heavy infantry!"

The order was soon passed on to the position in the form of flag words. Some strong soldiers in the front row of Yum Army stood up one after another, and two comrades in light armor each stepped forward, putting on them the heavy and clumsy plate armor on the ground. They also brought them an extremely thick iron helmet with only eyes exposed, and then stuffed two-meter-long iron guns into their hands...

This iron spear is obviously used to deal with cavalry, but in fact it has another function, which is to insert the other end deeply into the ground to support these iron lumps. Otherwise, over 200 kilograms of iron armor alone would be enough to press these strong men down.

After the equipment is complete, these soldiers are not soldiers, but rows of horse-resisting stakes with iron spikes that can withstand the impact of any cavalry!

The tactics adopted by the Yum Army were different from those of friendly forces. After the last war, Zhao Wujiu was dedicated to upgrading and developing them. After repeated trials, it was indeed a good way to restrain the cavalry.

During the war, the three-term method was used, and the first one composed of heavy infantry was lined up in front, providing reliable protection for the troops behind. However, due to their insufficient mobility, they could not undertake attack tasks and could only hand them over to the spear thrower and crossbowman behind them, and attack the enemy cavalry in sequence according to the attack distance.

When the enemy rushed to the front, the heavy infantry still used iron spears to resist the opponent, and then the light infantry equipped with spears came out across the formation. With six people as a group, under the cover of the crossbowman and the spear thrower, they surrounded and killed the enemy cavalry who had lost their speed.

This method combines long and short, and has both offense and defense, is the crystallization of Yumeng Gong's life experience. If Qin Lei had not appeared, he might have really become famous all over the world and become a peak of his husband's brilliant career.

But Qin Lei appeared after all!

The 300,000 Qin troops maintained a strict formation, with cavalry opening the way forward and infantry covering the back, and slowly advancing five miles away to the Qi army.

Looking at the Qi army that was like a dark cloud and could not see the border, the Qin soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva... But when they thought that they were short of food and clothing, fighting alone... It can be said that there was a barrier in front of them, and there were pursuers behind them, all the time and vertical, and they were going to die, and they were going to die!

At this moment when there was no way out, the blood and courage lurking in the body of the man in Qin State burst out completely. No one was on both ends of the rat, and no one was afraid of it. They all had red eyes and held their weapons high and shouted wildly: "Are you old Qin, let us go to the national crisis together! The blood will not flow dry, and we will not stop fighting!"

Listening to the tsunami of mountains and seas, Qin Lei enjoyed it very much. He knew that the men of Qin never lacked courage and blood. As long as they could inspire them, they were the best warriors in the world, and could clear all stubborn enemies for themselves and win the final victory!

He raised his hand high, and the boiling army suddenly became silent.

"My soldiers!" He raised his head slightly, and Qin Lei said loudly: "My soldiers, today I will take you to complete a conquest." The battlefield was very quiet. Apart from the rustling sound of the breeze blew the flag, only his majestic and magnetic voice echoed.

"This is a glory that can be glorified for you for a lifetime!" Qin Lei waved his left arm strongly, directing everyone's mood to fluctuate. "From then, you will be a member of this glorious group and be famous in history, and be respected by all generations!!"

His inciting words caused the blood of the Qin army officers and soldiers to rush, and blue veins on their necks were protruding. They held the weapons in their hands tightly and shouted: "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

After the soldiers vented, Qin Lei was so angry that he drew out his shiny sword and pointed firmly at the Hulao Pass in the distance and said, "Look, the gods in the sky, if God bless the Great Qin and we can win a great victory, please lower the thunder in the sky and razed the Hulao Pass that blocked my Great Qin for two hundred years to the ground!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the officers even complained that the prince was too immersed in the play. Isn’t this obviously a scattered person? But no matter what he thought, he couldn’t help but hold his breath and looked at the pass to see if there was any miracles happening?

I heard a faint thunder sound from the Hulao Pass in the distance, and then an extremely fierce white light soared into the sky, covering the entire Hulao Pass, making everyone's eyes look white and they can't see anything.

Then a terrifying thunder exploded, trembling everyone's ears and buzzed, and nothing could be heard.

Even from five miles apart, the Qin officers and soldiers could feel a violent swaying under their feet, and many people could not stand firmly and fell to the ground.

Although they can't see or see, and even stand steadily, everyone cried out: "The miracle is really coming!"

Things are all relative, and it is a miracle for the Qin army... It is an absolute nightmare against the Qi army! Because they have 100,000 troops stationed in the city, and the remaining 400,000 troops are also lined up along the mountain, forming a tight formation, all concentrated within ten miles of Hulao Pass...

After the explosion, there was a scattering rain of sand and stone. It was sent to the sky by powerful air waves and then pulled into pieces, dyeing the originally blue sky gray-yellow, and the scene was very strange.

The Yum Army officers and soldiers, who were shocked, got up from the ground, looked back at their backs in a daze, wanting to see what was going on, but they saw a terrible scene that would never be forgotten for life, if they still had their lives.

I saw that the place where Hulao Pass had been towering, it had turned into a dark ruin... Only those towering ruins can prove that there was an eternal pass that was eight feet tall... What about the 100,000 soldiers in it? It wouldn't have turned into ashes, right?

But the most tragic scene is not in the city, but near the city's roots. There should be at least 10,000 or 20,000 reserve teams there. Now there are only corpses that fall neatly to the east, just like rice fields after a typhoon... silently, but creepy.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the ruins of Hulao Pass, and some soldiers guarding the city who survived the disaster began to struggle. They were all black and yellow, covered in blood, missing arms and legs, and looked like evil spirits. I don’t know how many of them were deaf and scared, crazy and stupid, talking nonsense, shouting and laughing, and making a mess!

The entire ruin has become a hell on earth!

Although Qi Jun was not seriously injured, he was severely stimulated and his morale was gone. Many people were still out of control and knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

The Qin soldiers looked at everything in front of them blankly, and when they recovered, they knelt down and kowtowed one after another, but not towards Qin Lei, but expressed their awe to Mr. Tian, ​​who "descended the miracle".

Judging from their pious appearance, Qin Lei almost turned his nose aside. There were no miracles. Everything was his despair of his Highness Wucheng!

The story starts with a few months ago when the Qin army just captured Hulao Pass. In fact, according to the original plan, the Qin army should have been moving forward without stopping, wielding its army eastward, taking advantage of the great victory to launch a decisive battle with the Qi army!

In a serious concern about Zhao Wujiu's old fox, Qin Lei ordered Shen Bing's Military Information Department to search the inside and outside the city in a carpet-style manner, focusing on checking whether there are any authenticity, back doors, etc. He didn't want to be knocked and missed.

Facts have proved that you should be careful to make a ten thousand-year-old ship! With the help of very professional tools and means, the Military Information Department indeed found that there were many abnormalities in the city... Although the Qi people did it very secretly, they could not be as professional! After further inspection, the Military Information Department found that this was a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, which could completely infiltrate the army.

After receiving the report, Qin Lei immediately stopped the preparations for the war and instead tried to figure out how to make plans and do it once and for all.

He could not think about such a big thing alone, but he didn't want to tell others, so as not to leak the news. He quickly called Le Buyi, who was the commander-in-chief at Huguan's defense line, and told him everything about it. Mr. Le also thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After a conspiracy, the two decided to ask you to get into the trap, close the door and beat the dog, and burn the city with fire.

As for how to turn Hulao Pass into ruins in a blink of an eye, this is not difficult for Qin Lei, who is skilled in blasting. Although the goal this time is larger than before, as long as there is enough explosives and enough time, he is confident of doing this.

Therefore, Qin Lei remained silent until the end of June, not waiting for other materials to gather, but was just waiting for the country to send a steady stream of explosives. After demolishing all the buildings in the city, he hollowed out the foundation of the city wall and filled it with barrels of explosives. To be on the safe side, he also opened the load-bearing parts of the city walls and put them into barrels of explosives to seal them.
Chapter completed!
