I’m The King - Chapter 1505
Qian Zhongyi put on a big blood-red cloak today, and stood upright on the city gate with a knife. It was very windy and conspicuous. He was the commander-in-chief of the last garrison who was ordered to guard Hangu Pass.
Since the beginning of this year, the soldiers and civilians of Hangu Pass have begun to retreat to Xianyang on a large scale. Hangu Pass is the focus of Lu Chao’s management. The soldiers and civilians are fed by his ideas and have a high degree of loyalty to him. Compared with the people of the Qin country who have no food in other places, the Qin people around Hangu Pass still have a better life. Although there are labor and military service, they still have food, clothing, and money. Many, but still able to spend, so the soldiers and civilians here gave up the family business here and set out for Xianyang without saying a word.
Here are Lu Chao’s military workshops and other important factories, which must be retreated to the city of Xianyang. After the New Year, the first to go is these = pig = pig = island = novel ww.zhuzh workshops and craftsmen, and then the army As well as the young and strong, the civilians are the last to evacuate. In order to ensure a smooth evacuation, Qian Zhongyi led 20,000 people to make the last stand here.
“Father!” Qian Zhongyi’s eldest son, Qian Ming, walked over and stood beside him, looking at the dense cannons and countless siege equipment of the Han army in the distance, his face looked a little pale.
“Why, scared?” Qian Zhongyi glanced at his eldest son, somewhat dissatisfied.
“The child is not afraid.” Qian Ming cheered up. “In the past two years, I have been charging with my father. When is it not the son who rushed to the forefront, but this time, does our persistence make sense?”
“Significance?” Qian Zhongyi glanced at his son and laughed: “Behind us, there are thousands of old and weak women and children who are retreating to Xianyang. Every time we hold on to one day, they will be more complete. We Every day we stand firm, Xianyang will prepare for one more day. His Majesty the Emperor is preparing to fight a battle unseen in Kuanggu with the Han army in Xianyang. That is the battle that will determine the life and death of Qin. Do you think we will stick to it? significance?”
Qian Ming was silent for a moment: “Father, how confident do you think we will win this decisive battle?”
Hearing what his son said, Qian Zhongyi was also silent, and after a long while he said: “If you don’t fight, there is no certainty at all. If you don’t fight, who will know? Before the dust settles, nothing will be final. History of History There are many examples of battles that turn defeat into victory. As long as we Qin people are united, there may not be no chance of a comeback.”
“I hope so!” Qian Ming lowered his head.
“As a general, you have such a lack of confidence. Doesn’t it make your subordinates even more courageous, and you will be courageous to the army, your subordinates will look at you!” Qian Zhongyi was a little frustrated when he looked at Qian Ming’s inability to fight.
“I know.” Qian Ming nodded, “Father. Last night, I asked my second uncle to take their family, second brother, and younger sister out of town. My mother will not leave. But she also promised me not to This incident tells you that now, the second uncle and others, I’m afraid they have already entered the area controlled by the Han army.”
Qian Zhongyi looked back in shock. Looking at his son, his face slowly turned red, and he raised his hand fiercely. With a crisp sound, there were five red handprints on Qian Ming’s left cheek.
“Asshole thing, you rebelled, you, you actually sent away your family, this, if this is leaked out, wouldn’t it make the army in the city feel distracted?” Qian Zhongyi trembled with anger, but had to lower it. sound. The soldiers around saw the general suddenly slapped the young general, and they all looked astonished.
Qian Ming’s voice was also lowered, but he stared at his father without fear: “Father, as you know, we are just making the last struggle. Since this is the case, why should we drag the second uncle and his family? There are two younger brothers and younger sisters who died here together?”
“Who said that you must die in the city?” Qian Zhongyi said swiftly, “As long as we hold the city, we can guarantee everyone’s safety, and to hold the city, the first thing is to have one mind.”
“Now there is a war, but not before. Look at the artillery under the city. Which part of the city is safe? Within the range of the artillery, there is a possibility of being blown up. Even if they can get out of the artillery shot, it’s really there. As the city breaks, will you let them survive?” Qian Ming said.
Qian Zhongyi froze for a while before he said: “Qian Ming, do you know why the emperor appointed me to guard Hangu Pass and promoted me to general?”
Qian Ming sneered: “What’s not clear about this, because countless Han soldiers died under your hand. Their 20th army was half-crippled by you, so you can guard them. You will never worry about surrendering. Because the Han army will never let you go. Then Li Mingjun must eat your meat and sleep in your skin.”
“Not only Li Mingjun, but also Zhao Xilie. Compared with Li Mingjun, Zhao Xilie has a higher status and more influence. Li Mingjun’s subordinates are more of Zhao Xilie’s elite troops.” Qian Zhongyi laughed, “So the emperor. Your Majesty appointed me to guard because I knew that I would fight to the end and would not surrender. Because my surrender is also a dead word. Therefore, the name of the money, I keep them, first, to stabilize the military, and second, if you really want to die, The family died together, and there was a companion on Huangquan Road. It would not be too lonely. With you and me on Huangquan Road, they also worry about being bullied by others, no, being bullied by ghosts, your uncle, and your brother are all too weak Now you send them to the Han-controlled area, do you think the Han will let them go?”
“I heard that the Han people do not have the crime of even being seated. They are all doing things one person. Our father and son have enemies with them. Uncles, younger brothers and sisters have never been on the battlefield.”
“You are always so naive. Well, since this is already the case, I have nothing to say, so I hope that, as you said, they have a very good life in the Han Dynasty and will not be implicated by us! It’s just that none of them are involved. The power of management, even if you go to Han, how can you survive?”
“Over the past year, I have replaced all my belongings with money, and kept the trustee in the bank of the Han Chinese. I handed over all the certificates to my second brother. If they really won’t be affected by us, they will rely on the money. It’s not a problem for them to survive in Han.” Qian Ming said.
Qian Zhongyi looked at his son for a long while, as if he only met him today, “When did you start this thing?”
“At the time of the New Year.” Qian Ming said: “At that time, I knew that our Daqin was going to end.”
“Okay, okay, you are so careful that you even concealed it from me.” Qian Zhongyi smiled bitterly. “Since they are gone, our father and son will have a good deal with the Han people. Last year, I broke the Han army in Jinyang. There were countless kills and injuries. Today, I entered Jinyang. I was a forward when I attacked. When I retreated, I was cut off. I saw a lot of the Han army, and the battles were getting old. This Hangu Pass was not what the Han wanted to take. It can be won.”
“The son is willing to coexist and die with his father.” Qian Ming said loudly.
Qian Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction. Although his son did a lot of things without telling him, it was because of filial piety and family affection, but it was blameless. He wanted to encourage his son a few more words, but when he said something, he was suddenly taken by the city. The sound of shelling was completely overwhelmed.
Below the city, hundreds of artillery fired at once. The momentum was so great that everyone was shocked. Apart from the roar of artillery firing, there was nothing else in the ears. The position of the Han army was clearly visible just now. , It was filled with smoke in an instant.
Qian Ming slammed his father under the roots of the city wall, covering his father tightly with his body, but when his waist tightened, his father pulled him over, and instead pressed him under him.
“Father!” He yelled, only to find that he couldn’t even hear it.
The ground shook and the mountains shook, and the entire Hangu Pass was trembling and swaying. It seemed that it might collapse at any time. A dense array of shells flew over, hit on the wall, fell in the middle of the wall, and crossed the wall and shot into the pass. , Shun Guannei, immediately plunged into a sea of flames.
“Fight back, father, fight back now!” After the first round of shelling, Qian Ming turned over and sat up hard, drawing his sword and rushing towards his artillery position.
“No need!” Qian Zhongyi was sitting leaning against the wall. “Our artillery can’t reach their artillery positions at all. This is why I hide our artillery and spread it out. We can’t Destroying their artillery positions~www.mtlnovel.com~ can only save our artillery positions as much as possible, so that they can play a role when the Han army sieges the city. I don’t believe that the Han army is made of iron and steel. It can blow up their siege equipment and destroy their siege will. Let them fly in blood and blood.”
Qian Zhongyi’s self-confidence is not unreasonable. After Lu Chao was stationed at Hangu Pass, one of the things that Lu Chao did the most was to reinforce the walls of Hangu Pass. In addition to the original walls, they were rebuilt with reinforced concrete. A thick barrier was created, which caused the solid artillery of the Han army to hit it, leaving at most a pit. It was difficult to cause substantial damage to this completely integrated wall, and the Qin army Although the range of guns is short and the quality is extremely unreliable, they often explode, but the artillery positions on the city wall are all hidden in the cement holes. They cannot be moved or adjusted. However, Hangu Pass With just such an attack surface, dozens of artillery can block this attack surface.
Arranged for his son to go to the city to comfort the army, but Qian Zhongyi catered to his waist and checked the artillery positions one by one on the city wall. What made him reassured was that although the artillery fire of the Han army destroyed most of the buildings on the city wall, But each of these gun positions was unharmed. The only thing to worry about was the pale faces of the gunners. Obviously, the bombardment of this scale caused them to be greatly shaken.
The good words comforted these gunners. Qian looked faithfully at the safe walls and artillery, with a little more confidence in his heart. (To be continued.)
