Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

A very magical scene occurred on the front line of Hangu Pass. Facing the Qin army's camp, the five-nation allied forces neither attacked nor retreated. They just faced off quietly, as if waiting for something.

Such a miraculous scene made Huang Xie, who was in the remnant camp of the Chu State, feel numb. Only Xiang Yan was so angry that he flew into a rage.

"This has always been the case when joining forces. When the wind is downwind, everyone rushes forward, fearing that going slower will not benefit them. When the wind is going against them, everyone shrinks back, fearing that they will be damaged. What's the point of such a combination." The smiling Xiang Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

Unifying Zongzong is obviously the most beneficial thing for the three Jin countries, Han, Zhao and Wei. Although Chu State also faces pressure from Qin, Han, Zhao and Wei are the countries that directly face the threat of Qin. Why don't they think about their own way out? , if the Qin army goes eastward, can they stop it?

"It's useless to talk more. It seems that we won't be able to stay here for long. This is probably the last time we will see Qin's Hangu Pass in this life. From now on, alas..." Huang Xie sighed. He seemed to have already seen it. The ending of the Five Kingdoms.

Qin is strong, but it is not strong enough to fight against the whole world. Unfortunately, what Qin wants to fight is not the whole world, but countries with their own agendas.

There are too many so-called smart people in all countries, so that they all have their own ideas and calculations, and in the end they can only be in vain.

"Prepare your troops, we are about to retreat. There are not many of our troops left. We must bring them back to Chu safely. We must be on guard. If we attack too quickly and cannot work together, we will only become more dirty when we retreat." Huang Xie reminded Xiang Yan.

When the Chu army camp was dejected, Lu Buwei finally led his army out of the mountains.

I hope I make the right bet this time, otherwise, even I won’t be able to bear the price. Lu Buwei glanced at the mountains behind him, ignored his already weakened body, and ran towards Xianyang with the army.

On the second day, during the march, Lu Buwei finally received news from Xianyang, news that made him completely relieved.

"The coalition forces of Zhao and Wei were blocked in Qicheng?" Looking at the scroll from Xianyang Palace in his hand, Lu Buwei's heart, which had never been at peace, was completely relieved.

"The State of Qin is still a crouching tiger, hidden dragon." Lu Buwei pondered. He saw familiar names and unfamiliar names in the scroll, but no matter which name it was, the State of Qin at this time was undoubtedly heroic. exist.

"Command the three armies to go straight to Qicheng."

When Lu Buwei led tens of thousands of Qin troops towards Wucheng, the offensive and defensive battle at the foot of Wucheng had been going on for four days. Coupled with the initial battle when the Zhao and Wei coalition forces first arrived at Wucheng, the two sides had actually already The battle lasted five days.

Under the setting sun, Wucheng was like blood. Under the fierce attack by Zhao Jun's cavalry and Wei soldiers, the defenders of Wucheng suffered heavy casualties. After all, more than half of the defenders in the city were just civilians. Although in this era when all the people were soldiers, , even civilians have to compare with good combat power, but after all, compared with the most elite armies of Zhao and Wei, even with the city wall as a support, the defenders of Wucheng still suffered huge casualties.

If it were not for the support of the imperial cavalry outside the city, they would have broken through the enemy's obstructions at any cost time and time again when the city was in danger, stalling the enemy's offensive and allowing the defenders in the city to breathe. If so, I'm afraid Qicheng can no longer bear it.

But it is precisely because of this that the attrition of the three thousand imperial guards was very serious. In just three days, nearly half of the casualties were already suffered, and among the casualties, more than one-half were killed directly, and With the continuous attrition, if the imperial guards want to attack the Zhao and Wei coalition forces, the price they have to pay will only be greater than before.

"We can hold on for two days at most." On the wall of Qicheng City, Wang Jian, with messy beard and hair, looked at the enemy camp below the city, his words full of solemnity.

"General Wang, two days may be enough." Qicheng County Captain said from the side. As for Qicheng County Magistrate, he was seriously injured by a first-class arrow in yesterday's battle and is now lying on the hospital bed, struggling between life and death.

"I'm talking about two days when all the imperial guards outside the city were wiped out." Wang Jian said.

"This?" The Wucheng County captain was silent. If the three thousand imperial guards were completely wiped out, even if they defended Wucheng, they would not be able to explain to Xianyang.

At the end of the Jingshui Floating Bridge, Yang Ming, Li Xin, and Wang Ben were sitting on the ground, scratching their messy hair casually. The constant fighting gave them no time to tidy up their appearance.

"Tomorrow we will be in real danger." Yang Ming looked at the Jingshui River rolling eastward.

The Jingshui River at this time is extremely beautiful. In the dusk, the water surface is rippling with waves, flickering like a golden belt in the Guanzhong Plain. There are pontoon bridges, three war horses, three generals sitting on the ground, and a huge giant in the distance. The battlefield, for a moment, really had a special artistic conception.

Unfortunately, beneath the beauty is a cruel and cold reality.

"Zhongcheng is saying that Pang Nuan's patience has been exhausted by us. Will he focus on attacking us tomorrow?" Li Xin asked.

Here, he has learned to be humble, because not only Yang Ming, but even Wang Ben also has the ability to make him humble.

"Actually, Pang Nuan should have tried his best to deal with us from the beginning. Unfortunately, Xianyang was so tempting that it blinded him. But today he has realized it. In this afternoon's battle, he was the one who seduced us. Are you in ambush?" Wang Ben asked.

In the afternoon battle, Pang Nuan continued to attack the city as before. However, when the imperial guards supported the defenders of Qicheng, they were almost surrounded by Zhao Jun's side cavalry and Wei Wu soldiers. If not for Yang Ming Seeing an opportunity quickly, whether these people can rush out is really a problem.

"Although Xianyang is good, it is not that easy to capture. Pang Nuan should not have thought about capturing Xianyang from the beginning. If he had changed his mind, it might be a different situation now." Yang Ming shook his head.

Pang Nuan and the Zhao State behind him have always been very gambling. From the time when the King of Wuling Zhao Yong thought of going south from the north bank of the Yellow River to attack Xianyang, to the Battle of Changping that year, and now Pang Nuan's attack This was the case in the Battle of Xianyang.

"If Zhongcheng were Pang Nuan, what would Zhongcheng do?" Li Xin asked.

"Whether it is to encircle the point for reinforcements or to support the five-nation coalition forces on the front line to attack the defenders of Hangu Pass from behind, it is a wise choice. Of course, considering the situation of Zhao's border cavalry, encircling the point for reinforcements should be A better choice." Yang Ming smiled.

Suddenly, Yang Ming's face condensed, and he stood up from the ground suddenly, looking in the direction of the coalition camp with a serious expression.

"Zhongcheng, what's wrong?" Li Xin and Wang Ben quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the coalition camp.

"It seems that Pang Nuan really hates us to the extreme. He is not going to let us have a chance to breathe." Yang Ming said solemnly.

"The enemy wants to fight at night?" Li Xin said in shock.

"I'm afraid so. However, fighting at night is not a good choice for both parties. Why did Pang Nuan choose to fight at night?" Yang Ming hesitated.

"Could it be that the frontline troops have returned for reinforcements?" Yang Ming thought about it and thought that this was also a possibility.

"If that's the case, wouldn't we win this battle?" Li Xin said excitedly. If the army returns to support, then their military exploits will be achieved in this battle.

"It was Qin that won, but we? We still have to live to experience the joy of victory. Get ready, we won't be able to rest this night." Yang Ming said.

If the frontline army returns to support, Wucheng will be safe, but it will also put Yang Ming and the guards under his command into a desperate situation. Pang Nuan, who is already at the top, is likely to risk his life before Qin's reinforcements arrive. Annihilate Yang Ming's imperial guards at all costs.

Pang Nuan is an old guy who is extremely vindictive and has little ambition.

After receiving the military order, the guards who were resting in the Shazhou military camp stood up quickly one by one, lined up in formation, and waited for further military orders.

As time passed, a long line of torches emerged from the coalition camp and headed towards the Jingshui River.

"Right now we can only defend. As long as we hold on to this pontoon bridge, our way forward will not be cut off. Send an order, and a team of twenty people will follow me in turn to guard the head of the pontoon bridge." Yang Ming ordered.

The pontoon bridge must not be lost, not even within dozens of steps of the bridge head, otherwise these people will really be blocked on the sandbank. Without knowing when the reinforcements will arrive, the guards You can't retreat, otherwise those in Qicheng will be in danger.

Li Xin opened his mouth, but could not say what he wanted to say. If the enemy wanted to fight to the death, they should avoid their sharp edges, but now, it was no longer suitable to say this.

As the torch dragon got closer and closer, Yang Ming finally saw his opponent this time, a mixed army composed of Zhao Bianqi and Wei Wu soldiers, numbering in the thousands.

With the sound of horns, twenty guards stood guard at the bridgehead, and Wei Wuzu stood out. On the limited battlefield at the bridgehead, of course, beings like Wei Wuzu were more suitable for attack and defense. The imperial guards of Qin were in such a state.

Wei Wu soldiers marched in neat steps, with twenty-five people in one line, five lines in one formation, and five formations in one group, divided into five groups, and retreated towards the bridge.

Yang Ming put down the Canglong Wentian Halberd in his hand, and his palm was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist. In a hand-to-hand encounter, of course, he still had to use Tianwen.

In neat steps, Wei Wuzu finally got closer and closer in Yang Ming's sight, and the battle was about to break out.

"Kill." There was a chorus of shouts, and the soldiers of Wei and the imperial guards of Qin came into close combat for the first time.

Yang Ming struck out with a palm, smashing an iron shield into pieces, and then Tianwen slashed past him. The sharp blade spread out like a sharp sword, breaking through the heavy armor of Wei Wujun and cutting off his life.

This is just the beginning.
