I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

After resting for a while beside the warm charcoal fire, Zhang He finally felt that the temperature in his body had risen again. He drank another bowl of steaming mutton soup and was so moved that he almost cried.

"Old General, I'm late!" Zhang He clasped his fists and said.

He knew that the entire north of Yanmen might be occupied by the enemy at this moment and become a racetrack for the Huns.

"It won't be too late. Someone has sent Li Xin to lead an army of [-] to support Yanmen Pass."

Zhang He finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Wang Jian would disregard the Huns in the north and fight Li Mu to the death in Taihang Mountain, if that happened, it would be troublesome.

"Old General, I came to you to borrow something, otherwise I would have gone north to Yanmen."

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, he had already guessed what Zhang He wanted to borrow, it was nothing more than soldiers, because Zhang He's army was still far away in Taihang Mountain.

"I don't know what Zhang Shangqing needs? This old man will do his best to provide it."

"20 crossbowmen, [-] arrow feathers."

Wang Jian was dumbfounded immediately, you are afraid that you have investigated the old man's army, right?

In the old man's 15 army, there are only 20 crossbowmen and [-] arrows, all of which are given to you. How can the old man stop Li Mu and Zhao Jun?

In ancient wars, long-range strikes all relied on bows and crossbows, and bows and crossbows were also the most lethal.

Once all of them are taken away by Zhang He, no matter how brave Qin Jun is, he will not be Zhao Jun's opponent!

When the two armies fought, they were shot and killed before they reached the house.

"No, Zhao Guo Li Mu is watching the border, once the crossbowmen are gone in the old man's army, how will we defend against the enemy?"

Zhang He smiled, and said in a low voice: "My lord, don't worry, Zhao Guo Li Mu will soon go north to fight against the Xiongnu, and will not attack Daqin."

Ok?

How can it be?

Zhang He told Wang Jian the strategy they made in Luoyang, and the corners of Wang Jian's mouth twitched. While he was happy, he was also a little disappointed.

Li Mu was the biggest enemy in his heart in this life, but before the two of them really fought, Li Mu was about to be murdered in the north by these yin people.

"General, Zhao Jun sent an envoy to meet the general."

Zhang He glanced at Wang Jian and said with a smile, "Maybe he was sent by Li Mu. He hates the Huns even more than we do!"

Chapter 76 Wang Jian: In front of righteousness, a certain is not as good as Li Mu

Wang Jian asked Zhao Guo's envoy to come in, but Zhao Guo's envoy just brought a letter and left without saying anything.

After Wang Jian opened the letter and read it, he let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "In front of righteousness, this old man is not as good as Li Mu!"

Li Mu said in the letter that he would never take advantage of others, especially when it comes to the Xiongnu issue. In the letter, he hinted at Wang Jian and asked Wang Jian to stop the Xiongnu from going south first. Let's talk slowly about the battle between Qin and Zhao.

This is the style of a general.

Zhang He also admired Li Mu very much. If Li Mu united with Wei Chuqi and other countries at this time, or even united with the Xiongnu, it would definitely make the Great Qin unable to care for each other and make a mess.

If Da Qin is not careful, he will capsize in the gutter.

They will be driven back to Guanzhong.

"General, could this be Li Mu's conspiracy?"

"That's right, General, this matter is so important that we must guard against it."

Several advisers under Wang Jian also raised doubts, but Wang Jian laughed loudly: "You are worrying too much, Li Mu's character is worthy of trust."

Zhang He also nodded. Looking at the history of the Warring States Period, Li Mu was loyal to the State of Zhao. He had blocked the Xiongnu in the north for decades. , and then attack the principle of Qin.

This time, if Zhao State was not facing annihilation, the capital of the country would be captured by Qin State, Zhao Wangqian even rushed five times and eight hundred miles, maybe he would not be able to go south, and gave up the three northern counties that have been in business for many years .

"Old general, can you lend me [-] crossbowmen now?"

Wang Jian laughed loudly: "Don't talk about [-] crossbowmen, even an army of [-] can be lent to you, kid."

"However, I believe in Li Mu's character, but I don't believe in Zhao Wangqian's character, so I can only give you [-] crossbowmen, and I will fight Li Mu to death in Taihang Mountain."

Zhang He was speechless!

However, the military situation in the north was urgent, and Zhang He immediately received [-] crossbowmen, led by Dun Ruo, and went directly to the Yanmen Pass. He had to stay and wait for the [-] army led by Qin Zhong.

At the same time, before the army arrived at the eldest son, he wanted to build a military factory in the eldest son city to mass-produce the Zhuge Liannu. The Zhuge Liannu rewarded by the system was more powerful than the one invented by Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms.

The Zhuge Liannu rewarded by the system is twenty rounds, but Zhuge Liang invented only ten rounds.

The blueprints have been brought back to Xianyang by Ying Zheng, and handed over to the Xiangli family of the Mo family who served in the Great Qin Dynasty. The Mo family studied thoroughly and made a model. After the experiment, they took the model to Shangdang eldest son city for mass production.

At the same time, it is necessary to vigorously produce such as catapults, ten-stone heavy crossbows, fifty-stone heavy crossbows, and even hundred-stone heavy crossbows, which are used to kill cavalry.

Therefore, Zhang He could only stay in the eldest son city for the time being, and immediately started to build the factory.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters, he wants to uproot these Huns, and don't even think about running away.

Killing the people of Daqin is like running away, how can it be so cheap?

On the same day, the construction of the factory began in the southwest of Changzi City. Of course, the workers used Wang Jian's [-] personal guards and [-] logistics troops.

Because the effectiveness of the army's work is much faster than that of the peasants, Zhang He is now racing against time.

Wang Jian also knew the long-term significance of building such a factory, because Xianyang is too far away, and the traffic is very inconvenient because of the Yellow River and Taihang Mountain.

Once a processing plant is built in Shangdang's eldest son city, let alone the Huns, even facing Zhao and Yan in the future, there will be no shortage of strategic materials.

In a war, the most important thing is strategic materials.

Two days later, a large factory covering an area of ​​ten acres has been surrounded, and a simple house has also been built.

The raw materials for making bows, crossbows and arrows were continuously transported into the factory and stored, waiting for people from Xianyang to start making them.

At the same time, Wang Jian also dispatched [-] elite troops to station around the factory to guard the factory.

Two days later, Qin Zhong finally arrived at the eldest son city with an army of [-].

Zhang He's factory had begun to take shape, so Li Wei, a counselor, was left to take care of the factory, and he led an army of [-] to go straight to Yanmen Pass.

At this moment, outside Yanmen Pass, under the leadership of Touman Shanyu and Fan Yuqi, the Xiongnu raiders swept across the southern part of Yanmen County.

After holding on for half a day, Shuoxian County was attacked by the Huns cavalry. All the officers, soldiers and old people were killed, and all the property and food in the city were looted.

The young and middle-aged people in Shuo County were forced to become transport workers, transporting property and food to the Huns to the north.

Women and children, like cattle and sheep, were treated as trophies, tied together with hemp rope, and driven north by the brutal Huns cavalry with whips.

Along the way, countless young and middle-aged people were shot and killed by the Huns because of their resistance, and women and children were starved to death or frozen to death on the road because of the cold and no food.

On the road from Shuo County to Yunzhong County in the north, the frozen corpses of ordinary people can be seen everywhere, without even a shelter, thrown into the wilderness, eaten by wild wolves and dogs.

The rangers from the former three counties of Zhaodi organized themselves and tried to rob these miserable women and children countless times, but they were outnumbered and all were shot and killed by the Huns cavalry.

After Touman Shanyu broke through Shuo County, another [-] cavalry from the Xiongnu went south, joined with Touman's [-] cavalry, and finally went south to outside Yanmen Pass.

It's just that at this moment Li Xin has arrived at Yanmen Pass with [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, which made the fearful Ying gangster finally heave a sigh of relief.

"Fan Yuqi is a thief, his conscience has been eaten by dogs."

"A certain Li Xin swears to heaven that he will take Fan Yuqi's dog's head and avenge the dead Yanmen people."

Standing on the tower of Yanmen Pass, Li Xin punched the city wall hard, his eyes were bloodshot, at this moment he really wanted to rush down and kill all the Huns who were showing off their might not far away.

But the Xiongnu cavalry has [-] to [-] cavalry, and they have only [-] cavalry in their hands. They dare not claim victory in this battle, so they can only hold Yanmen Pass aggrievedly.

Outside Yanmen Pass, Fan Yuqi rode a war horse and wore a mink fur coat, and was escorted by dozens of Hun cavalrymen to the pass.

"Li Xin, I advise you to surrender quickly and let me wait, otherwise today will be your death day next year."

"That Yingzheng is fierce and brutal, like a wolf and a tiger, not worthy of your service. You are still young, why bother to come from Wu?"

"The Huns sent their army south this time, bringing [-] cavalry with them. A certain person is familiar with the internal deployment of the Great Qin. Now there is no way to rescue this place. You can't defend Yanmen Pass."

Li Xin gritted his teeth tightly, and said to the guard beside him, "Bring someone's longbow!"

Chapter 77 Zhang Shangqing Wants Tens of Thousands of War Horses from the Huns

"Dog thing, today I send you to the [-]th floor of hell."

Li Xin got the longbow, drew the bow and shot the arrow in one go, and the arrow shot to Fan Yuqi's head.

The arrow pierced the air and flew towards Fan Yuqi. Fan Yuqi was shocked and quickly lowered his head, but the arrow was too fast and took away Fan Yuqi's helmet.

Fan Yuqi almost peed in fright, his hair was disheveled, he turned around and ran towards the distance.

Several Xiongnu soldiers were also shocked, and turned around and ran after Fan Yuqi. They didn't expect that the opponent had a sharpshooter. If General Fan hadn't lowered his head at that time, his head might have been pierced.

Li Xin saw that the arrow had missed Fan Yuqi's old life, so he was furious, opened his mouth with a livid face, and said to the ground, "he, tui!"

"Dog thing, I will spare your life for the time being, and sooner or later I will capture you alive and return to Xianyang."

Then he said to Ying Meng: "General Ying, arrange all the crossbowmen on the left and right high slopes for me, the Huns are going to attack."

Li Xin clenched the generous iron sword in his hand, and said to the guards beside him: "Let the cavalry eat and drink enough, and be ready to go out for a fierce battle at all times."

……

Fan Yuqi came to Touman Shanyu's side, his face was livid with anger, and he said angrily: "Then Li Xin won't listen to people's advice, please order Shanyu to attack, I just looked at it, there are probably tens of thousands of people on the pass."

Touman Chanyu looked up at the tall Yanmen Pass on the top of the mountain, and fell into deep thought. Their prairie cavalry is best at charging on the plains rather than attacking cities.

Now there are towering peaks on both sides, most of which are cliffs, and there is only a gentle slope leading to the tall pass. When their horses rush up, they have no strength to fight, and they even beat a fart.

"The Central Plains people are really cunning."

Before, he was proud that the Qin people abandoned Wuguangkou, the first stop guarding the passage, thinking that the strength of the grassland warriors had scared the Qin people away, but he didn't expect the Qin people to go to guard this most dangerous place.

Touman Chanyu looked at Fan Yuqi with disheveled hair, frowned and said, "There is another shortcut."

Grassland warriors are not good at attacking cities, so if they encounter such a dangerous place, wouldn't they go up to die?

The grassland doesn't have as many people as the Central Plains, so he can't afford it.

Fan Yuqi pondered for a while. If he wanted to enter Taiyuan County from the Mobei Plateau, he had to cross the northeast-southwest Hengshan Mountains.

The Hengshan mountain range is full of high mountains, dense forests, and many strange peaks and cliffs. Although there are many passages, it is not easy for cavalry to walk.

If you want to quickly enter Taiyuan County, there are only two feasible roads, one is the Yanmen Pass, and the other is the West Path Pass.

"Yes, there is another pass twenty miles west of Yanmen Pass, named Xijing Pass, which enters from Baicao Pass, but it can also bypass this mountain and enter Taiyuan County."

"But the West Path Pass is more steep than this Yanmen Pass, and the distance is farther. It takes a day to cross the mountains and ridges."

"The Qin people must have defenses over there."

Touman Shanyu hesitated. He had already swept across the entire four northern counties. There were so many property, food, women, cattle and sheep that he couldn't count. Why should he fight the Qin people here now?

Fan Yuqi saw that Touman Shanyu seemed to be hesitating, his heart turned cold, and he immediately said: "Shanyu, I'm afraid you don't know how rich the Central Plains is, the land is full of gold, and there is so much food that you can't finish it, woman There are too many to count..."

"At this moment, Qin and Zhao are engaged in a war of destroying the country. The two countries have used their brains out, and they can't look at us at all. This is the best time to attack. Once you hesitate and miss this opportunity, you will have no chance."

"Someone used to be a general of the Qin State and knew the strength of the Qin people. Ying Zheng was even more ambitious and wanted to annex the six countries. At this moment, the Qin State has occupied most of the hinterland of the Central Plains. After Ying Zheng unified the six countries, he must Swing the sharp blade to the grassland!"

"Shan Yu, you have swept Yanmen, how can the people of Qin not take revenge?"

Fan Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Now as long as we conquer the Yanmen Pass and seize Taiyuan County, we can attack the Central Plains if we advance, and defend the Yanmen Pass if we retreat. The Qin people will have nothing to do with you."

Touman Shanyu was finally persuaded by Fan Yuqi, and now he is retreating, waiting for the revenge of the Qin people. If the Yanmen pass is taken, the warriors of the grassland can enter the Central Plains to rob food and population at any time.

The geographical environment of the Central Plains is so superior that there is an inexhaustible amount of food. This year, the mountains in Mobei were blocked by heavy snow, and all the cattle and sheep in the grassland were frozen to death. If they hadn’t gone south to grab a handful, the Huns’ warriors might not be able to survive this winter. .

"Okay, just listen to General Fan. Ben Shanyu has made a decision. He must conquer the Yanmen pass."

Fan Yuqi finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Ying Zheng, let's wait and see.

"General Fan, you are familiar with the fighting methods of the Qin people. Ben Shanyu will give you [-] cavalry to take down the Yanmen Pass. You can choose the women of the grassland..."

Fan Yuqi: "..."

Fan Yuqi took a deep breath, and glanced at Tou Manchanyu. This guy looked brave and foolhardy, but he was careful and thoughtful.

Let yourself lead people to attack, just in this precipitous terrain, even if you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin.

But for his own great revenge, Fan Yuqi still took the order and personally led [-] Huns cavalry to attack Yanmen Pass.

Fan Yuqi came out of the range of the city gate and said coldly: "Li Xin, you are hiding in the city gate. What kind of a hero is this? This general was quite optimistic about you before, but I didn't expect you to be a softie, haha Ha ha……"

"King Qin Yingzheng has taken a fancy to generals like you, hahaha, he deserves to be in trouble."
