The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The Bai family and the Meng family are the two pillars of the Qin state, known for their loyalty and bravery, similar to the Zhang family and the Ye family of the Xia state, both of which are families of generals.

The Qin emperors of all dynasties had good trust in the generals of these two families, and an excellent general must have been experienced since childhood. Generals like Han Xin who were born at the level of soldiers are very rare, and more are achieved through experience like Guo Ziyi.

Bai Lie, the youngest general in the direct line of the Bai family, even though he is only 22 years old, he is already ranked fourth rank, commanding tens of thousands of troops. In addition, he followed Bai Meng to destroy the Zhao country and won some victories, so he is quite proud.

And when Bai Meng returned to Qindu, he handed over the command of the Dongqi area to Meng Yi. Meng Yi was also very concerned about Bai Lie, and because of his concern, he wanted to beat his arrogance, so he let him lead the troops to garrison in Tonglu Shire, did not go east and north.

This made Bai Lie very upset, he felt that he was useless, what was the use of staying in Tonglu County in the hinterland, other than practice, it was practice!

Unexpectedly, Han Xin crossed Tonglu County and entered Shanyuan County, and this slap fell hard on the face of this young and vigorous young general.

Although Han Xin deceived all the generals including Meng Yi and Meng Fang, Bai Lie felt that he was the most insulted. So when the news reached his ears, he did not wait for Meng Yi's order to be issued, so he rectified his troops and rushed over, which is why he came so quickly.

But now, the late-night attack suffered a disastrous defeat, with heavy casualties, which proved the worries of Bai Lie and Meng Fang. If they want to win the Atrium Gate, they really have to rely on the lives of soldiers.

So Bai Lie thought hard, could he think of other ways to win the Atrium Pass?

At this moment, there are only Meng Fang and Bai Lie in the army tent.

Meng Fang looked at Bai Lie and asked, Bai Lie, is your plan feasible?

Bai Lie nodded and said, I've already sent people to investigate, it's feasible! This will be the best way for us to win the city gate and reduce losses!

As he said that, Bai Lie laid out the topographic map of Zhongting Pass, pointed to the Qinling Mountains in the south of the pass, and said: The Zhongting Pass stretches for more than ten miles, extending to the peaks on both sides. The people I sent carefully investigated the mountains on both sides. The mountain is steep and dangerous, and it is not easy to climb, let alone the carriage and luggage. However, it is not easy to climb, which does not mean that it cannot be climbed. We can send agile soldiers to go around from the southern peak to the atrium. When the soldiers enter the pass and attack from the southern end, it will inevitably affect the entire Xia army and affect the morale of the Xia army. When we continue to attack from the front, it will be easy to take the Zhongting pass.

Meng Fang pointed to the north end and asked, Can you send dead soldiers to climb from the north end?

Bai Lie shook his head and said, No way! There are huge boulders standing in the way at the northern end, and the mountain is steep, with a height of 34 meters, making it even more difficult to climb.

Meng Fang felt a little regretful, if both ends could attack at the same time, the effect would be better.

General Meng, the humble general will lead the dead to carry out this mission! At this moment, Bai Lie said suddenly.

Meng Fang heard it, and immediately shouted: No! This mission is very dangerous. Once you go up, you will definitely be besieged by the Xia army. The dead soldiers are using their lives to contain the enemy and create opportunities for us to attack. Ten deaths Wusheng, if something happens to you, how can I explain to General Meng and the elders of the Bai family?

Bai Lie argued: As a general, if you can't take the lead, who will sacrifice your life? These dead soldiers are also from the Qin army. They also have parents, wives, children and brothers. As a general, I must set an example. And as a soldier, I died in battle. It's glory, why need a shroud of horse leather! General Meng, I have made up my mind, we must win this battle! We must take the Atrium Pass, and then take the North Hub Pass as quickly as possible, otherwise we will continue to delay, and when Xia Guo's reinforcements arrive, we will die Martyrdom is also a sinner!

Meng Fang gritted his teeth, knowing that what Bai Lie said was the truth.

Okay! Meng Fang hesitated for a moment, finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Bai Lie was overjoyed, and said with a smile, Thank you, General! I'm off to select soldiers!

After all, Bai Lie hurriedly went to pick people, and finally picked 800 soldiers with agility.

An hour later, Meng Fang started attacking the city again.

And Bai Lie also took the opportunity to lead the 800 dead men to go around from the rear and enter the Qinling Mountains in the south.

Han Xin sits above the city gate and is located in the middle of the entire pass. Naturally, he doesn't know Meng Fang and Bai Lie's strategy, but Han Xin is known as a soldier, and any slight change in the wind and grass on the battlefield cannot escape his discernment.

Meng Fang's strategy is to attack at intervals. Although this method will lose troops, it can consume a lot of Xia Jun's arrow feathers, rolling stones and other defensive weapons. When these shooting and throwing attacks are used similarly, then Xia Jun's advantage will be lost. A majority.

Now Meng Fang's second strong attack is also for this purpose.

However, during the second attack, Han Xin noticed very subtle changes.

The first attack was on both sides of the city gate, but this second time, the location of the attack has been moved to the south. It seems that they want to clear the stairs on the south side first, which is not abrupt.

For anyone, there is no problem, but Han Xin has a long-term mind.

This second strong attack still ended in the failure of the Qin army, leaving behind a lot of Qin army's corpses. At the same time, Xia Jun's arrow feathers, rolling stones and other objects were also consumed in large quantities. At this rate, he would have to fight hand-to-hand before reinforcements arrived.

Another hour later, the Qin army attacked again.

This time, the Qin army's offensive direction moved a little further to the south.

Interesting, interesting... Han Xin smiled mysteriously, looking confident.

The third attack was also extremely tragic, and in the end the Qin army still failed. But it also gave Meng Fang hope, because an infantryman almost climbed up the city gate, which showed that the balance of victory began to tilt.

But today, Meng Fang did not continue to attack.

Because of the three consecutive failures, the Qin army's morale has been slackened. He needs to give the soldiers blood and let them regain their determination.

At the same time, Meng Fang looked towards the southern mountain range. How is Bai Lie's situation at this moment?

At this time, Bai Lie led 800 dead soldiers into the mountain, and was climbing the steepest mountain in the middle. After climbing this mountain, he could climb over to the atrium gate. Most of Xia's troops are concentrated in the middle, with the least troops on both sides. As long as Bai Lie kills the Chengguan, he can cause great chaos for Xia's army.

So Bai Lie was very excited. He led the dead men up the mountain, then sneaked along the ridge of the mountain, and finally came to the southern end of the Atrium Pass.

Looking up at the atrium gate above, there was only the flickering light of the torch, and there was no other movement. It seems that the Xia army above is resting. This place has extended to the mountain peak. It is impossible for the Qin army to attack from here, so the Xia army's vigilance is naturally not high.

Also because it is built on a mountain peak, the height of the Chengguan here is limited, only four meters, and it can be climbed up with the help of ropes.

But now is not the time to do it, Bai Lie asked his men to hide in the woods, eat some dry food to feed their hunger, according to the time he agreed with Meng Fang, do it when the sky is slightly clear, it is not convenient at all right now.

Gradually, the eastern land became slightly brighter, and the light was tearing through the darkness.

Bai Lie woke up from his rest, looked at the time, and when the time agreed with Meng Fang arrived, he believed that he was already in formation and ready to attack at any time.

Now it's time for Bai Lie to perform.

Bai Lie asked his men to build a human wall, he climbed up, slowly exposed his eyes, and observed the situation on the wall.

On the wide city gate, Xia soldiers were resting against the city wall. There were not many people, only a few hundred people, and more people stayed in the middle, where there was a dense darkness, one next to the other.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the sky, Bai Lie lightly jumped onto the city gate, and with a wave of his hand, the dead soldiers below also climbed up. After a while, more than a dozen people came up.

Just when Bai Lie thought the plan had succeeded, not far away, about a dozen meters away, several Xia soldiers who were resting with their shields suddenly jumped up.

They actually held the Zhuge Liannu in their hands, hiding under the shields.

The Xia soldiers who stood up pointed the Zhuge Liannu at Bai Lie and the dead soldiers behind him, and then shot.

whoosh whoosh...

One second, Bai Lie was happy, but the next second he was terrified by Xia Jun who jumped up and attacked, and what greeted him was the flying crossbow.

Before he could react and dodge, three crossbow arrows shot him.

Not good! It's an ambush!

The dead soldiers behind Bai Lie roared, and immediately dragged Bai Lie to leave, but how could the Great Xia soldiers let them do so?

A few Daxia soldiers were actually carrying gunpowder bags in their hands, and they ignited directly at this moment, and threw them towards Bai Lie and the others.

boom boom...

Several dead soldiers were directly blown out by the impact, fell down the city gate, and rolled down the cliff.

In an instant, Bai Lie and the dead man who climbed up were all lying on the ground, dead or wounded.

Then, the soldiers of Daxia rushed forward, stood on the top and shot down the dead soldiers of Qin. They hid under the city gate and fled naturally at this time. If you panic, you will fall from the mountain, or be shot to death by crossbow arrows.

Bai Lie's confident plan of eight hundred dead men was destroyed in one fell swoop.

Bai Lie was very lucky. Although he was hit by three arrows and was injured by gunpowder, he was still alive and was dragged to see Han Xin.

Seeing that Bai Lie was seriously injured, Han Xin gritted his teeth and said with a smile without making a sound of pain, I respect you as a man, what's your name?

Bai Lie stared at Han Xin, gritted his teeth and said, If you don't want to change your name, if you don't want to change your surname, Bai Family, Bai Lie!

Han Xin raised his brows and smiled even wider: It turns out that he is the leader of the young and middle-aged generation of the Bai family, but he caught a big fish unexpectedly!

At this moment, Meng Fang had already launched an attack on Zhongting Pass, but the scouts he sent out did not find the chaos at the southern end.

Meng Xin felt anxious, where did Bai Lie go?

Soon, Han Xin asked someone to carry Bai Lie out, and let the impatient Meng Fang know where Bai Lie had gone. It turned out that he was visiting the enemy army.

Seeing that Bai Lie was covered in blood, Meng Da was startled, and immediately retreated, and the attack was interrupted.
