Chapter 601 Take Xingyang First
Chapter 6 and Two: Take Xingyang First

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on the tenth day of March, Yingchuan County, Yangcheng, Xue Rengui sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Liao, the general of Shencewei, Murongchui, the general of Shenwuwei, Guan Yu, the general of Yongpingwei, and Long Xiangwei General Qin Lie Ying Yangwei General Wu Yunzhao, Spirit Snake Guard General Wang Yanzhang, Tiger Wing Guard General Gao Siji lined up left and right, Ying Yang Guard, Tiger Wing Guard, Spirit Snake Guard, Shence Guard, and Shen Wu Guard , Long Xiangwei, a group of generals and military divisions followed closely behind.

"Everyone, last summer, His Majesty personally made a plan to attack Qin. I, Deng Deng, have been preparing for a year, and finally it's time to start the war. According to the plan of the Great General's Governor's Mansion, the Central Plains route will be led by myself. Attacking Henan County, I also hope that you will do your best to create a great cause that will never be uprooted for Deng, and when he returns to the court in the future, I will personally ask for your merits in front of His Majesty, and it is not impossible to be ranked in the Lingxiao Pavilion." Xue Rengui Said to everyone.

"Please rest assured, General, we will definitely do our best to win the Guanzhong land for Deng Deng." Everyone responded in unison.

"Okay!" Xue Rengui said: "Everyone follows the future!" After that, Xue Rengui brought everyone to the map, pointed to the map and said: "Among the three armies, the task of our Central Plains is the most difficult. In Guanzhong, there are four important towns in front of us, Xingyang, Hulao Pass, Luoyang and Hangu Pass, and occupying Xingyang first is the most important thing. Xingyang is connected to Hanoi County in the north. If we can't control Xingyang, the north Zhao Jun can continuously enter Xingyang and threaten the rear of our army."

Deng's army is stationed in Yangcheng, and the shortest way to attack Luoyang is undoubtedly Yuyuan Pass, but this time Xue Rengui just wanted to take Xingyang City first, and then attack Hulao Pass. The reason is that Xingyang City poses a threat to Deng's rear. It's too big, if you can't control it in your hands, once Zhao Jun raids Deng Jun's rear when Deng Jun is attacking Luoyang City, the consequences will be disastrous, and if you can control Xingyang City, it will not only solve the hidden danger in the rear, but also It can threaten Hanoi County at all times and make Zhao Jun restrained.

"General, according to reports from the spies, the Qin army deployed 5 elite soldiers in Henan County, of which 5 were in Xingyang City, commanded by Qin's famous general Wang Feng, and the specific number of soldiers and horses deployed in Hulao Pass and Luoyang City is as follows: I don’t know.” Zhang Liao said that at the beginning, Qin State planned to deploy [-] people on the front line of Hulao Pass, but later found that the Deng Army in the Central Plains had too many troops, so they transferred [-] people from Xiliang to enter the pass.

Xue Rengui nodded and said: "The four major towns in Henan County are very important. With the strength of the Qin army, it is difficult to defend them all. Therefore, I would guess that the Qin army will place the main force of defense in Xingyang City and Hulao Pass. , as long as these two places are guarded, Luoyang and Hangu Pass will not be threatened, so the number of Qin troops in Hulao Pass will not be less than [-]."

"Hmph!" Murong Chui sneered and said, "Qin Jun is really crazy. With this strength, he still wants to defend Henan County. If it was me, I would have given up Henan County long ago and put all my troops on Hangu Pass. With a crowd of [-] at Hangu Pass, there is a chance of victory."

"It is said that the chief general appointed by the Emperor Qin this time is the clan general Ying Huai. Although this person is a famous general of the Qin clan, he has been unknown under the pressure of Meng Zhan, Bai Qi and others. Even Geng Yue, Wang Feng and even The late Ma Sheng was also in a higher position than him. He suddenly ascended to a high position, and he wanted to make some achievements. Otherwise, Wang Feng or Bai Qi would never dare to make such a big deal, and Ying Huai should be right. The State of Zhao has hope, if the Zhao army can enter Xingyang City, then our army will not be free to attack Hulao Pass." Zhang Liao said.

"No matter what kind of calculation he has in Yinghuai, it has nothing to do with our army. As long as our army can take Xingyang City, then Yinghuai's calculation will come to nothing!" Xue Rengui said, and then said to Zhang Liao and Murong Chui: " Zhang Liao and Murong listen to the order!"

"The last general is here!" Zhang Liao and Murong Chui responded.

"I ordered you two to lead the troops to attack Xingyang City. With Zhang Liao as the main general and Murong Chui as the deputy general, I estimated that as soon as the attack on Xingyang City starts, the Zhao army in Hanoi County will reinforce Xingyang City within half a month. So you must take Xingyang City within half a month, and after you take Xingyang City, you will send His Royal Highness Jin's Qianniu Guards to garrison Xingyang to protect the rear of our army." Xue Rengui said.

Deng Jun not only has the elite seven guards under Xue Rengui's command in the Central Plains, but the Qianniuwei, An Guowei and Shenxingwei who were planning to guard the Central Plains have also arrived in the Central Plains. After taking Xingyang City, Xue Rengui will let Deng Han's thousands Niuwei went to garrison. Fifty thousand Niuwei were stationed in Xingyang, which was enough to ensure the rear of Deng's army, and An Guowei and Shenxingwei could also provide support at any time.

"The last general obeys!" Zhang Liao and Murong Chui replied, taking Xingyang City within half a month, although it was very difficult, after all there were Wang Feng and [-] Qin troops in the city, but it was not impossible.

"The rest of the guards will go all the way north with this general, attack Chenggao, and push Hulao Pass." Xue Rengui said again, 35 troops, 25 were sent to attack Xingyang City, and the remaining [-] troops didn't wait, just went straight To attack Hulao Pass, the strength is so willful.

"General, the general thought that our army should pay more attention!" At this time, Pang Tong, the tiger wing guard army division, came out and said: "The star destroying crossbow, the ace of the Qin army, was destroyed by hundreds of thousands of elite Han troops. If there are Qin Army's star-killing crossbows in Hulao Pass or Xingyang City, it will be a big trouble for our army."

Everyone heard the words, and their expressions immediately became serious. The star-killing crossbow, which is Qin's greatest reliance, has only played once in so many years, that is, the battle between Qin and Han that year. The last elite extermination of the Han State directly led to the subjugation of the Han State. Although it is not appropriate to attribute all the credit for the demise of the Han State to the Star Destroying Crossbow, it has to be said that Qin State defeated the Han army because of its possession of the Star Destroying Crossbow. If you are caught off guard, otherwise with the strength of the Qin army, even if you can defeat the Han army, your own losses will not be small.

"That's right, the Star Destroyer Crossbows are ten troubles for our army, but the Star Destroyer Crossbows must be gathered in the field to play their greatest role. If it is a siege battle, the Star Destroyer Crossbows that can be placed on the top of the city It is also very limited, so there is no need to worry too much, and the star-killing crossbow is the trump card of the Qin army, and the Qin army will not dispatch it prematurely, just be careful." Xue Rengui thought for a while and said.

"Here!" Everyone responded.

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on March [-]th, Zhang Liao and Murong Chui led [-] Shence Guards and Shenwu Guards to arrive outside the city of Xingyang, but the guard Wang Feng did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle due to the difference in strength between the two sides.

"Wang Yuan, have all the people sent to Hanoi County for help set off?" Wang Feng looked at the densely packed Deng Jun banners on the head of Xingyang city, and asked the deputy general Wang Yuan with a serious mood.

"Returning to the general, we should have set off yesterday, but even if the horse is rushed, it will take three days for the messenger to arrive at the camp of the Zhao army in Hanoi County, and it will take half a month at the earliest for the Zhao army to send troops to Xingyang City." Wang Yuan replied.

Wang Feng nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Although half a month is a long time, there are [-] elites in the city, and Xingyang City is also a well-known important town in the Central Plains. The city defense is relatively strong, and it shouldn't be a problem to hold it for half a month. of.

"Pass down the order, the whole army is preparing for war, without this general's order, no matter how provocative Deng Jun is, he is not allowed to go out of the city to fight, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy!" Wang Feng said. , There is no doubt that they will lose. Although Qin Jun's field combat ability is the best in the world, Deng Jun is not a vegetarian.

"Here!" Wang Yuan responded.

Outside the city, Zhang Liao and Murong Chui ordered people to set up camp. On the first day they arrived, the boats and vehicles were exhausted, and the soldiers and horses were exhausted. It was impossible to attack the city, so they had to build the camp first.

In the large tent of the Chinese Army, Zhang Liao sat at the head, and Murong Chui sat at the bottom. Zhang Liao said to Murong Chui, "General Murong Chui, do you want to send someone to challenge the city tomorrow first, so as to dampen the spirit of the Qin army first?"

Murong Chui shook his head and said: "General Zhang, Wang Feng is very cautious. In addition to the repeated defeats in these years, he has already lost the vigor of the past. The strength of Qin's army is far inferior to ours. He must We will not be able to hold on, so it is very difficult to send people to challenge, and the time given by the general is only half a month, so we must take Xingyang City as soon as possible, so I suggest, directly attack."

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then according to what General Murong said, we will attack directly tomorrow, but the general has also reminded that the Qin Army's star-killing crossbow is a big challenge for our army. Threats, so the first wave of attacks should not be too aggressive, and should be based on probing."

The star-killing crossbow's reputation is too great. It wiped out hundreds of thousands of Han troops in World War I. Even Deng Jun could not achieve this feat, so Zhang Liao had to be cautious.

Murong Chui nodded, agreeing with Zhang Liao's idea.

The next day, Zhang Liao and Murong Chui led an army to the city. At this time, the gates of Xingyang City were closed, and the defenders at the top of the city were standing by.

"Shan Xiongxin, Ling Rong, and Ma Li listen to the order!" Zhang Liao ordered.

"The end is here!" Shan Xiongxin, Ling Rong, and Ma Li responded.

"I ordered the three of you to lead our troops to launch an attack. Remember, step by step and don't rush forward. If the Qin army dispatches the star-killing crossbow, immediately retreat!" Zhang Liao said.

"Here!" Shan Xiongxin and the three responded.

"Kill!" After taking the order, the three of Shan Xiongxin rode their horses out and led the army to charge, while the archers of the Qin army on the city also fired their arrows, and the battle was imminent!
At the same time Zhang Liao and Murong Chui were attacking Xingyang City, Murong Ke of Wuguan also led Longwuwei, Tianningwei, and Jinwuwei into Guanzhong from Wuguan. At first, Murongke was very cautious, but When it was discovered that Qin Jun's defense here was not too much, Murong Ke also let go of his hands and feet, and directly sent troops to take down Shang County and Shangluo City. At that time, Murong Ke suddenly discovered that his opponent was actually the No. 1 general of the Qin State, Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun of the Qin State.

"Hehe! I thought this journey would be the easiest for this general, but I didn't expect to meet Bai Qi. I really think highly of this general!" In front of Lantian Valley, Deng Jun's camp and the Chinese army's tent.Murong Ke smiled wryly, when he found out that his opponent was Bai Qi, Murong Ke stopped advancing, but chose to stabilize first. After all, Bai Qi's name was too famous, and the gap between the two sides was not that big. He also has a favorable location, so if he attacks rashly, he can easily be defeated by Bai Qi.

Deng Jun's three-way attack, Murong Ke's way can be said to be the easiest. There is neither a natural danger like Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away, nor a strong city like Hulao Pass, Xingyang City, Luoyang City, and Hangu Pass. There is only one Lantian Valley, but such a place only occupies a small amount of land, and it can't cause too much trouble, but who would have thought that the Qin Congress would put Baiqi in Lantian Valley.

"General, I think this Baiqi is just a name for nothing. Back then in Jianshan, he was blocked by General Li Jing's Tianwu Guards. In the end, he lost [-] elites. From the point of view of the general, we might as well attack directly. In the end, We will definitely capture Bai Qi alive and bring him to the general's camp!" Tianningwei General Zhang Fei said disdainfully.

"Otherwise, this Bai Qi can be as famous as General Yue Fei, General Han Qing, and Zhao Xin, the legend of Zhao Guo. His ability must be good. Although he was defeated by General Li Jing in Jianshan, General Li Jing only occupied the geographical advantage at that time. , and Bai Qi did not understand the situation in central Shu, and now the Qin army is on the defensive, our army is attacking, and General Yue is very afraid of Bai Qi, so we must not take it lightly!" Deng Qiang, the general of the Jinwu Guard, is not so bad Yes, it is definitely not easy for Bai Qi to be as famous as Yue Fei and others.

"This..." Seeing that Deng Qiang was against him, Zhang Fei was about to say something, but was interrupted by Murong Ke.

Murong Ke said: "General Deng Qiang is right. Bai Qi must not be underestimated. General Yue Fei mentioned Bai Qi many times in front of this general, and General Li Jing also said to this general that Jianshan If it wasn't for good luck, he would have been defeated by Bai Qi long ago, so Bai Qi is by no means simple."

Seeing that Murong Ke had said that, Zhang Fei stopped talking.
