Chapter 583: The Pass is Broken, and the White Returns (Reward for the Super Large Red Dot, Fifth Update)
Wuguan...
Wuguan, called "Shaoxi Pass" in the autumn of 'spring', named after the pass next to Shaoxi Mountain, has always been called "Sanqin Fortress", "Qin Chu Throat".
Qing Dynasty scholar Gu Zuyu called this place in China: "Strangling the 'intercourse' of Qin and Chu, according to the danger of mountains and rivers." Dao Nanyang and the east moves, into the blue field and the right danger. Wuguan huge defense, in one fell swoop. ”
There is a poem: "Wuguan closes Qinzhong with one palm, and Xiangyun Jianghuai Road is not passable."
From the point of view of topography, Wuguan leans on the rock cliff in the north, borders the absolute stream in the south, the river water rings in the east, west and south, and the Guancheng crosses out of the center of the river.
There are four ridges in the east of the city, the ridge is high and steep, "go up the mountain together, do not allow to ride together", belong to the out-and-out soldier must fight for the place, and Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, Dasan Pass together and call "Qin's four stops".
From a geographical point of view, this is the only way to Nanyang in Guanzhong, in history Qin and Chu have repeatedly fought for this place, Wuguan has experienced many wars in the past few decades, countless Qin and Chu soldiers have thrown their heads and spilled their blood in the Guancheng, and watered the prestige of this Xiongguan in the world with their lives.
But this time, the law of Qin and Chu's competition for Wuguan was finally broken.
For the first time in decades, the Koreans appeared under the city and brought with them a large number of siege weapons.
If there is anything else that the Koreans, who are the last in terms of national strength, can be at the forefront of the Warring States, then military equipment is definitely worth mentioning.
From iron weapons to armor, from melee swords to long-range bows and crossbows, from trebuchets to chariots, Koreans are almost at the top of their military-related equipment.
Although the loss of a large number of craftsmen due to the fall of Yiyang City caused the smelting level of the Koreans to stagnate a lot, to this day, the smelting level of the Koreans is still at the top level of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.
For a war, 'fine' armor does not necessarily lead to victory in the war, as can be seen from the defeat and victory in Korea's previous foreign wars.
But when the Koreans don't need to worry about morale at all, and what enemy commanders are famous generals like Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Wei Wuji, but only need to keep attacking, attacking, and attacking again, the advantages brought by the advantages of the armor are fully reflected.
In fact, there were not many defenders of the Qin State in Wuguan, only three thousand.
Three thousand versus one hundred thousand, this is an extremely disparity in comparison.
As the chief general of the Korean army, Jin Huang may not be a very famous general in this era, but it is no problem to evaluate it as a medium level.
When a mid-level general led an army of 100,000 with the advantage of armor to attack a pass guarded by only 3,000 defenders, there was no suspense about the fall of this pass.
Although the pass is extremely steep, the most important thing is whether or not the pass can be captured.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted.
After bombarding Wuguan with trebuchets for four days, the first Korean warrior finally reached the top of Wuguan and heroically drew his weapons and rushed towards the almost exhausted defenders of the Qin State.
Two hours later, when the sun was about to set, the cheers of the Koreans resounded throughout the world.
Wuguan fell.
Jin Huang slowly entered the almost ruins of Wuguan under the escort of a large number of personal guards, and the tragic situation in front of him actually did not stab Jin Huang, what made Jin Huang feel very uncomfortable was the corpses of the Korean army that could be seen everywhere, and the rewards brought by the generals under his command.
"The three thousand defenders all fought to the death, and only thirty-six were captured in a coma due to serious injuries?"
When he heard this answer, Jin Di was silent for a long time.
The next day, Jin Huang left 10,000 people to guard Wuguan, and then led the rest of the 80,000 Han soldiers all the way north, successively breaking through several small passes after Wuguan, and a few days later entered Lantian of Qin, and joined the 100,000 Zhao army led by Lian Po.
All the way to the west.
Just when Lian Po and Jin Di were advancing together, Bai Qi, who was far away in Hedong County, also gathered all the generals and announced his orders to these generals.
"Second and third sons, the order of the king of Xianyang has arrived, and we will withdraw our troops from Hedong County from today to return to Xianyang!"
As soon as Bai Qi's words came out, many Qin generals in the big tent suddenly became 'commotion'.
Bai Qi's stern gaze looked around, and everyone fell silent.
"If there is any objection, it can be said now. If you don't say anything, there will be a 'private' discussant, behead! ”
A general of the Qin army plucked up his courage and said, "General, can you just give up Hedong County like this?" ”
This is also a question in the minds of most people.
"Give up?" Bai Qi smiled dumbly, and said to the young Qin army general in front of him: "Wang Qian, why did you say this? ”
It is gold that always shines, and Wang Jian is the most shining piece of gold among the 200,000 soldiers of the Qin army in this battle.
Capture Jiangcheng, break Quwo, and defend Anyi, although most of the time he acts as a deputy, but he has been recognized and rewarded by the main general Sima Jin, and also recognized by the coach Bai Qi.
Facing Bai Qi's gaze, Wang Qian's heart was somewhat empty, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "Wu Anjun is now going to withdraw his troops from Hedong, isn't this going to give up Hedong County?" It must be known that the army has been killed and injured so far by countless brothers in exchange for such a result, if it is easy to give up Hedong County because of Xianyang, it is too worthless! ”
Bai Qi stared at Wang Jian with a smile: "You actually think that just one Hedong County can be compared to Xianyang?" Do you know what will happen if your words are transmitted back to Xianyang? ”
Wang Jian was obviously also out of the way, and said loudly: "Back to the general, now Hedong County is in the hands of Daqin, if the army is withdrawn, it will be a failure, please think twice!" ”
Bai Qi was silent, and a pair of eyes looked at Wang Jian for a moment, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if he was about to cut Wang Jian into countless pieces.
Wang Jian stood there with his head down, big drops of sweat flowing from his face, but he didn't mean to admit his mistake at all.
After a few moments, Bai Qi suddenly laughed.
"Good. Wang Jian, I want to 'hand' you a task, but I don't know if you have the ability to complete it. ”
Wang Jian subconsciously 'straightened' his body and said loudly: "The last general will definitely do his best!" ”
A troop transfer token was thrown into Wang Qian's hand.
"From this day forward, I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses. You want to rely on these 20,000 soldiers and horses for me to keep an eye on Pang Xuan in the leather prison pass, before I defeat Lian Po, I want to see Hedong County still in the hands of Great Qin! Can you do it? ”
Countless eyes suddenly fell on Wang Qian's body.
Envy, sympathy, disdain, ridicule, playfulness, and so on, and so on.
Wang Jian only felt a surge of blood, and his right hand held this troop mobilization token tightly, as if holding a supreme artifact that could split the sky.
"Please rest assured, as long as the last general is still alive, then Hedong will definitely be owned by Great Qin!"
