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

"Yan Dan, take your people and go, the old man doesn't need your help."

Yan Dan: "..."

The old man!

Pang Nuan sighed, he was the only one who knew about his family affairs, he knew what kind of character King Zhao was, even if it was a trick, as long as it got to King Zhao's ears, he would definitely let him go back. If Zhang He needs to attack, Zhao Jun will be defeated.

Could this Yandan be a spy sent by Qin Wang Yingzheng?

"Come on, see off!"

Yan Dan is furious, this old guy, I came to help you, but you still chased me away.

"No, Dan can walk by himself."

"Just don't regret it!"

Prince Dan came out from the General's Mansion with his people, and everyone followed behind, speechless.

Without the cooperation of Zhao Jun, it would be impossible to assassinate Zhang He among the ten thousand troops.

"Let's go, let's think of another way. The prince doesn't believe it. Without Zhao Jun, we can't kill Zhang He."

After Prince Dan left, Pang Nuan's relatives said: "General, why don't you join forces with Prince Yan, if we can kill Zhang He, we can repel the Qin army."

Pang Nuan smiled wryly and said: "Kill Zhang He, and Li Xin, do you think they can kill Zhang He? Zhang He is full of tricks, very sinister..."

"We can only resist from the front, we can't play these schemes, we can't play with that kid."

Pro army: "..."

"Let's go, follow the old man to Laiyuan, the old man is going to fight Zhang He squarely."

Feihukou.

The locals call it Sishili Heifeng Cave, which is the easternmost point of Taihang Mountain, where it meets Yanshan Mountain and Hengshan Mountain.

The rocks lie here, and the turbid current is turbulent. Because the Juma River has been scoured all year round, a huge canyon has been formed, which is famous for its precipitousness and strangeness.

According to legend, a fox stood on a mountain, ate five pine nuts, became a fairy, and flew to the sky, hence the name Feihukou.

It is also said in ancient books: "Dry mulberry on the breastplate, Bauhinia on the outside and inside", and "Between the clouds and valleys, the Beijing tripod is carried on the back, and it is the key to the key."

The widest part of Feihukou is less than 100 meters, and the narrowest part is only 20 meters, which can only pass a carriage. For thousands of years, this has been the main pass from the Mongolian desert to the North China Plain, and it has been a battleground for military strategists. .

Among the high mountains on both sides, Feihukou stands at the exit of Feihu Valley, guarding the long and narrow road.

On the tall pass, Zhao Jun walked back and forth with long spears in his hands. On the towers were various defensive equipment, such as catapults and rolling logs.

Guarding the pass was a general under Pang Nuan, named Chen Kui, who once followed Pang Nuan to fight against the country of Yan. He was very fierce and led hundreds of people to capture a city.

Chen Kui was in battle armor, holding a huge sword, standing on the tower, looking at the rolling hills in the north, and shouted at his subordinates: "Cheer up, old general Pang ordered us to stick to this place, so we can see the strength of this place." importance."

If according to ordinary people's thinking, this place is so dangerous, Pang Nuan should arrange the entire army here, as long as he defends, the Qin army will have nothing to do.

But Pang Nuan, as a famous general, naturally had to have an overall vision. If he defended here, he could keep Zhang He's Qin army north of Feihukou, but Zhang He's [-] troops were all highly mobile cavalry.

What if people don't follow this path?Detour to Duxing, the farther Yandi army, and break through the defense of Yan State from there. With one charge, according to the speed of the cavalry, within three days, they can rush to the hinterland of Zhao State and approach the city of Handan.

Therefore, Pang Nuan had to let only a small number of troops defend, and deploy more troops in the area of ​​Shangquyang south of Laiyuan.

Even if Zhang He's cavalry broke through Feihukou, and the Daumaguan Great Wall in the south prevented Qin's army from continuing to go south, even if Zhang He went south from the farther army capital Xing, he could intercept Zhang He's cavalry, and he was able to fight against Tian Dan's Jingxing The fortress guarded the city.

Such a defensive plan can truly defend the Qin army's attack.

"Rumble rumble..."

Suddenly, there was a tremor from the ground, Chen Kui's expression changed, and he immediately shouted: "Enemy attack..."

All the soldiers cheered up, stretched their necks, and looked towards Taniguchi.

Then, they saw thousands of cavalry rushing from the mouth of the valley to their pass.

"The crossbow is ready..."

The Zhao army on the tower all set up their bows and crossbows, aiming at the attacking Qin army.

Whoosh...

A wave of arrows shot at the Qin army. Li Xin waved his hand quickly, and the army stopped 500 meters away.

"Pull up the big crossbow to someone, and teach them a lesson."

Several cavalry dismounted and quickly installed the crossbows. After a while, five crossbows were installed.

whoosh...

A crossbow arrow as thick as a rafter was shot at the tower, and Zhao Jun's banner was shot flying with one arrow.

Another arrow passed through the roof of the city tower and directly took away part of the building.

Chen Kui was shocked, what kind of artifact is this?

whoosh...

boom!

A big arrow hit the wall, and the wall was destroyed directly, and then took two or three soldiers flying.

"Squat down, find cover, be careful..."

Chen Kui screamed in panic, but the big rafters shot at their tower one by one.

Within half a stick of incense, the top of their city tower was lifted off, leaving only the city wall.

The soldiers on the tower were ashamed and frightened, and their companions shot on the rock wall behind, still screaming in pain, giving them a huge sense of spiritual shock.

"Damn it, the people of Qin bully people too much, they have the ability to fight head-on..."

Chen Kui became furious and wanted to go down to the city to fight the Qin army for [-] rounds.

Several pro-army quickly grabbed Chen Kui, and the general had orders not to leave the city, but to stick to it.

Only then did Chen Kui remember Pang Nuan's confession, stick to Feihu's mouth, and those who leave the customs will be killed!

"Fire the arrow... the trebuchet, teach me a lesson for the people of Qin." Chen Kui roared angrily.

Li Xin smiled and waved: "Retreat two miles, set up camp, build ditches, and raise water sources in captivity."

Zhang Helai said before that if Feihukou was guarded by heavy soldiers, he would use a crossbow to teach them a lesson, then intercept the river water and flood Feihukou.

Chapter 176 Pang Nuan wants to teach Zhang He to be a thief

The Qin army retreated so fast that Chen Kui on the tower was stunned for a long time.

Shouldn't the Qin army charge with all its strength and attack the city?Why did the Qin army, who was in the upper hand, retreat?

And the speed is still so fast?

"My lord, Qin Jun has retreated!"

"Qin Jun retreated..."

The soldiers on the tower cheered. Although Chen Kui was puzzled, he was relieved. No matter what, it would be good if the Qin army retreated!

Looking at the buildings on the city tower, the top cover has been lifted off, and the bare ones are exposed outside. Of the 8000 people guarding the tower, more than 1000 people were killed or injured.

"All the soldiers listened to the order. Although the Qin army retreated, the defense must not be relaxed. Immediately clean up the sundries on the city wall, open the passage, and prepare to defend against the Qin army's next attack."

It is impossible for the Qin army to retreat like this, and it may be waiting for the main force.

in the afternoon.

The [-] reinforcements from Laiyuan City finally arrived at Feihukou, which made Chen Kui heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was also thankful that the Qin people did not attack Feihukou with all their strength before, otherwise, Feihukou might be about to fall now.

If the Qin army didn't have the big crossbow, his [-] defenders would not be able to defend such a dangerous pass, but the Qin people's big crossbow is too powerful. If there are enough crossbows, the pass may be overturned.

Now there are more than 2 defenders, backed by the steep pass. Even if the Qin army breaks through the pass, it will suffer heavy losses, because the Qin army is all cavalry and has no siege equipment, so they can only stare blankly when they come here.

More than 8 cavalry led by Zhang He came to a wide canyon area [-] miles away from Feihukou without hindrance. They immediately dispatched scouts to climb the peaks on the left and right to check the enemy's movements.

I'm afraid that in this kind of canyon, if the enemy troops attack from the mountains on both sides, it will be troublesome.

"General..." Li Xin stepped forward with a smile.

Zhang He dismounted from his horse and asked, "How is the defender at Feihukou?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "The last general led the army to Feihukou. There are almost tens of thousands of people guarding Feihukou. That place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It cannot be breached for a while. If it is attacked by force, the loss may be huge."

"Heh heh heh... So General Mo shot indiscriminately with his big crossbow and knocked down the other side's towers. He should be able to kill thousands of people..."

"Afterwards, Admiral Mo will retreat back and start building a dam in front to intercept the river water. According to your instructions, prepare to flood Feihukou."

Zhang He: "..."

"How about the construction of the dam?"

Li Xin smiled confidently: "Five thousand soldiers work in three shifts and work overnight, and the construction will be completed by noon tomorrow."

"Let's go and see..."

Li Xin took Zhang He, and the two went to the place where the dam was built. Thousands of people had already built a dam that was more than one meter high and three meters wide, and they were working in full swing.

Zhang He went upstream. The flow of this river was relatively large. If all of it was intercepted, the flow of water in two days would be enough to destroy Feihukou.

According to information, there is a city wall built on the Feihukou river, and only a few holes are opened under the city wall for water to pass through. However, if the river swells, this city wall will become a nightmare for Feihukou.

It is only necessary to put some big trees during the flood discharge, and the big trees can block those holes when they rush down along the river. It can also crash into the city wall.

As for the impact on the downstream, Zhang He also has information. The downstream river is wide, and this amount of water will not cause any large-scale damage. It will not wash away the farmland and crops of the people, and it will not cause harm to the downstream cities.

This will not make Zhang He feel any psychological burden.

"I'll give you another 5000 people to build dams overnight, so that the water source cannot be lost in a large area. Otherwise, when will we be able to accumulate enough water?"

"You can cut down some tree branches and get some vegetation from both sides of the hillside, plug the holes where the water flows, and then fill them with mud."

"Put a lot of big trees downstream, the bigger the trees, the better."

Li Xin's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of the role of this big tree.

Turning around to do it quickly, Zhang He returned to the barracks, and had nothing to do, so he lay down and rested.

After sleeping until dawn, Li Xin came to report that a large lake had formed on the embankment, and it only took one day. The five-meter-high embankment would accumulate enough water.

"It's just that the water upstream here was suddenly blocked, and the defenders at Feihukou must have thought that we were the ones who blocked the water source... to flood Feihukou."

Zhang He smiled and said: "It's okay, even if they know, they can't remove all the passes. Our goal is to break through the pass, as long as the pass is washed away, it's fine. As for how many Zhao troops can be drowned, it depends on God's will. "

Li Xin walked to the map and said, "General, after breaking through Feihukou, how should we march?"

"There are only two roads going south, one is Puyinxing in the southeast, and the other is the road leading to Shangquyang in the southwest. Pang Nuan's 12 army must rely on the Great Wall and dangerous passes in this area to defend. They are cavalrymen, so they will definitely suffer a lot.”

Zhang He came to the map and smiled sinisterly: "Who said we are going south?"

"Are our [-] cavalry used to attack the city?"

Li Xin frowned, how could he attack Handan of Zhao State if he didn't go south?

Zhang He pointed to the Bauhinia Pass leading to the northeast, and said with a smile: "After we go south, we will take a detour in the north of Laiyuan and run towards Shanggu Pass (Bauhinia Pass) in the northeast direction. Shanggu Pass is the demarcation point of Yanzhao. There will be too many people stationed, let's take Shanggu Pass in a battle, where to replenish food and grass."

"Exit Shanggu Pass, go straight south, and go straight to Baoding City."

"At that time, Pang Nuan will definitely be dumbfounded, and then jump into a rage, marching south from Puyinxing, intending to snipe us in the Baoding area, but we have four legs, and Pang Nuan has two legs, can he outrun us?"

"As long as we pass through Baoding City and the vast plain, we can run wherever we want. How will Pang Nuan defend? Do you think he will run away to death?"

Li Xin looked at the map and said excitedly: "General, then we can go all the way south without any hindrance, and go straight to Handan."

But Zhang He shook his head and said: "No, let's make a gesture of attacking Baoding City. Before Pang Nuan's army arrives at Baoding City, we will go straight to Jingxing Fortress to kill the old guy Tian Dan. After joining Meng Tian, Then wait for the opportunity to fight Pang Nuan."

"At that time, our cavalry will attack and defeat Pang Nuan's 12 troops one by one, then go south to encircle Handan, encircle the reinforcements, and attack Sima Shang's main force with Wang Jian on both sides."

"The general's move is really high!"

"Running around like this, Pang Nuan's army will be exhausted, and the material transportation will not be able to keep up. After running around, we will return to our own territory. Don't worry about the problem of food and grass. Jingxing Fortress replenishes war horses and other resources."

"Hahaha……"

"General, if Pang Nuan finds out, he may vomit blood."

……

At this moment, Pang Nuan was afraid that Qin's assassins would take him to his lair, so he rushed to Laiyuan overnight with some of his relatives, and planned to teach Zhang He how to be a man in Laiyuan.

"Where are Daqin's cavalry?" Pang Nuan asked the exact location of Qin's army just after arriving in Laiyuan.
