Bang bang, passionate, to the end.

Knock knock, war drums, kill until the sky is dark.

Bang bang bang, the fire splashed everywhere, burning to the sky and screaming.

As the Dao Dao Fire Dragon fell from the sky, all he saw at that moment was fire, in front of him, under his feet, behind him, and above Hangu Pass, how could it catch fire?

There will be no mistake, it is really fire, the flames are splashing everywhere, the defenders are affected, and they keep slapping, and those tongues of fire that emit black smoke seem to have spirituality, and they are on the body, no matter how they are beaten, they can never be extinguished.

The flames rose, and the screams burst out, and Hanguguan, who had just regained his calm, was awakened by the screams again.

Kicking and kicking, the Hangu guard quickly ran up with a sword in his hand, and quickly came to the pass position along the position where there was no fire, and looked down through the seam, and couldn't help but gasp.

But seeing the light of the torches below, the army of Zhao State set up a formation, and it was impossible to judge how many soldiers and horses there were in the night, which was not terrible, the danger was in hand, no matter how many soldiers and horses were useless, it was a pity that everyone ignored a point, Zhao Kuo not only had the elite who was good at fighting in formation, but also had a powerful siege weapon that Qin did not have.

Catapults?

From the appearance of the ordinary catapult is not much different, if you look carefully to find, several of them are slightly different, after the improvement of the catapult power far more than in the past, the original key positions are made of wood, after a long time will inevitably break, the same can not use fire attack, wood is born afraid of fire.

Zhao Kuo simply improved, the key parts were completely replaced with bronze or iron, and the objects that the catapult could throw were also changed from simple stones to any object that could cause damage, and of course, most importantly, the accuracy and distance were also improved.

In the book, it is implied that after a fight, Wang Jian led people to flee back to Hangu Pass, and Zhao Jun chased to the front, and the arrows above kept falling, and the number of dead and wounded suddenly increased, so he had no choice but to retreat.

Zhao Kuo immediately ordered people to clean up the previous fierce battlefield, spears, arrows, war horses, etc., but everything that could be used was left behind, so as to minimize the loss of war preparations, as for the corpses of those soldiers who died in the battle piled up into a mountain, he simply ordered people to set fire to avoid the formation of plague after the rain.

The generals of all parties led the troops back, and the Zhao army won a great victory, although there were heavy casualties, in order to cut off the back road of the Qin army, more than 60,000 people, the Qin army suffered more casualties, no less than 13 or 40,000, and dozens of generals were killed in the battle.

One person was helped to the front, it was Bai Ying, the leg injury was not light, although the bandaging action was still unchanged, it was clear above the offensive, the Qin army was defeated and fled, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and the corpses below were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, I only hope that this battle can end as soon as possible.

"King, Bai Ying is useless."

Zhao Kuo stepped forward, "Where is this, if there is no General Bai Ying, how can there be a big victory today." ”

"Yes, with only 50,000 people blocking the 200,000 army of the Qin people, we don't dare to think of it if we change it."

"Okay, Lao Bai, count your limelight this time, think more about your brother next time this kind of good thing."

Everyone laughed, Bai Ying looked helpless, the war was tight, and the king was also short of manpower, so he felt uncomfortable when he was injured at this time, "Remember to kill more Qin soldiers for me." ”

"Don't worry, this kind of thing is wrapped up in Mu Chen."

Mu Chen's chest beat the earth-shattering sound, leaving two formations responsible for the outer defense, and the other camps rested in place to replenish food, this is not cowardly, and he is also worried that the Qin army will suddenly counterattack, the shape of the battlefield is changing rapidly, anything can happen, the Zhao army has just won the inevitable carelessness, once Wang Jian suddenly leads his troops to kill back, then the camp will be in chaos and will inevitably be defeated.

"King, Wang Jian has suffered a big loss, and he will never go out of the customs again, how to break the customs!" Li Mu sat next to Zhao Kuo, under the firelight, everyone took dry food from their bodies and kept stuffing it into their mouths, the Zhao army is the most equal, no one has any privileges, even if Zhao Kuo is like this, especially on the battlefield, what he eats on weekdays is exactly the same as that of soldiers, and the same is true for generals in the army, Zhao Kuo knows that only by sharing weal and woe with soldiers on the battlefield can people finally make people die for you.

"What do you generals think?"

"What's so difficult about this, just rush straight up."

There is no need to look at it at all, from the voice and the way of speaking, there must be Mu Chen, Bai Ying sat on the side, with an injury on his leg and could not participate in the battle, and he also participated, "No, the pass is narrow, and the steep mountains on both sides are not conducive to the passage of the army, so you can only win with surprise soldiers." ”

"Strange Soldier!"

There is no shortage of strange soldiers under Zhao Kuo, the elite cavalry wrapped in iron armor and heavy armor, the crossbow on his back can quickly cause huge damage to the sharpshooter battalion, and of course, the most mysterious black devil elite, as long as it is used reasonably, it can be called a miracle soldier.

"No soldiers this time!"

"No soldiers?"

Everyone looked at each other, and if they wanted to occupy the pass, they had to rush forward with superior forces, and they could only occupy it smoothly by repelling the opponent's counterattack, and they couldn't do it without soldiers.

Zhao Kuo nodded, "Although the pass is high, it is built according to the mountain, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, so although it is easy to defend and not easy to attack, it also exposes a fatal flaw." ”

"What does that mean?"

"Wait until the king finishes speaking."

Mu Chen was anxious, and Li Mu on the side hurriedly reminded, "Okay, good." Mu Chen nodded again and again, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Kuo at the same time.

The long sword in Zhao Kuo's hand quickly drew a few lines, and the tip of the sword was pointed, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, which should refer to the location of Hangu Pass, "If you can pose a threat here from a distance, what do you generals think?" ”

"It's too small, and it's a victim."

"Yes, if an arrow lands on it, the chance of shooting can be increased by a few percent." The second baby waved her fist, and the arrow attack was exactly the same reason, the smaller the area, the denser the arrows, and the greater the damage.

Mu Chen shook his head, "It's not enough to rely on arrows alone, you have to be stronger." ”

"Catapult."

Everyone shouted almost at the same time, and their eyes lit up at that moment, how could they forget this, when the four countries were destroyed, the catapult played a vital role, the boulders fell from the sky, and the defending forces cried and shouted for their mothers, not only that, but the improved catapult owned by Zhao Jun was even more powerful, and it could launch powerful fireballs, and when it fell, it exploded like a thunderbolt, and it was simply named after the thunderbolt train.

Zhao Kuo nodded, "Yes, it's exactly this." ”

The camp is left and right, a team of soldiers pushing the thunderbolt train slowly approaching, encountering a difficult area can only be lifted by everyone, although the catapult is amazingly powerful, the disadvantage is that it is too cumbersome, once the camp is captured, the mechanical camp can not escape at all, there are only two ways, either leave it to the other party, or burn it directly, most of them choose the latter, the catapult construction process is equally complicated, even if it has the strongest military workshop Zhao Guo can not bear this loss.

The sky was dark, and he could only move forward by the moonlight, approaching Hangu Pass, worried that the light of the torch would cause the Qin army above to be alert, so he simply gave up and moved forward step by step, the front camp stopped, the thunderbolt train reached the most suitable position for throwing, and the soldiers took stones to quickly pave the ground.

"Ignition."

Quickly lit up, quickly adjusted the position by the light, everyone held their breath at that moment, after all, it was at night, the terrain above was steep, Hangu Pass was located at a high place, if the fireball did not fall just above the pass, the throwing effect would be completely lost, and it would even endanger itself.

"Alright."

"Vote."

At the sound of an order, a red fire dragon rose in the night sky, and landed above Hangu Pass accurately, as for the things that caught fire, they were mixed with black oil, firewood, grass and stones.

After several tests, it was proved that the simple one could not exert the maximum power, and if you wanted to pose a sufficient threat to the defensive forces above the city wall with fire, you must provide flammable materials, fire oil, and Zhao Jun did not lack it, so they simply added firewood and grass, but the weight was too light, so the stones mixed with it were tied up with trees and vines.

Bang, bang, bang, the fire dragon exploded above the city wall, and the stones that were burned by the fire also became deadly weapons, hitting the Qin army and screaming.

"Water, get some water."

The defenders kept going up and down, trying to extinguish the fire with water, and everyone knew this.

The offensive below Hangu Pass continued, and hundreds of thunderbolt trains kept throwing upwards, and the entire city wall instantly turned into a sea of fire.

The fire on the stone made people dare not imagine, the soldiers who ran up to the pass from below were dumbfounded, there was fire in front of them, only a little water in their hands, it was insignificant at all, the water poured on it did not work at all, in the firelight, the soldiers of the Qin army kept writhing, and their bodies were full of fire, one by one they became fire people, and their arms kept waving until they finally fell.

"What should I do?"

"Get the water on you, quick."

One shouted, and the soldiers below poured water on their bodies, and the water kept running down their bodies, this trick did have some effect, the fire fell on it, and the lack of combustible materials was quickly extinguished, but those that exploded the stones still posed a mortal threat to the defenders.

The flames were soaring, and the defensive forces of the Qin army could only retreat to the bottom, waiting for the fire to be extinguished and immediately ascending to the pass, a wave of heat hit, and the clothes on the clothes of the nearby soldiers were quickly dried by the fire, and they were worried about being affected by the fire, so they hurriedly got wet again.

"General, if you continue to consume like this, it will not be good for me."

Wang Jian stood below and looked at the pass above, "That's true, what else can I do otherwise!" ”

"It's better to ask General Lei, after all, he has many years of experience in guarding the pass!"

Wang Jian showed a wry smile on his face, "The time is not as good as in the past, although the Six Nations Alliance Army in the past has many generals, but unfortunately each has a heart like a plate of scattered sand, the combat effectiveness is extremely limited, and the terrain between the two passes is narrow, too many people and horses can not come in handy, and in the end, several times ended in defeat, and now Zhao Kuo commands Zhao Zhi's elite to attack my pass, and the upper and lower hearts are united, and Hangu Pass is in danger." Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh after speaking.

What Wang Jian said is not unreasonable, the Qin State is strong, and the six countries are worried about being destroyed, so they simply join forces to crusade, and they also have their own plans, once they defeat the strong Qin, who will be the new overlord, and ask who is willing to miss the opportunity to make themselves strong.
