Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 240 The Army Attacks!

Boom boom boom!
The uniform footsteps of millions of troops led by Zhao Guo marched forward like the roar of tigers in the mountains, like a long snake with no end in sight.

"Report!"

A Zhao Guo scout rode a war horse and galloped quickly towards the center of the army.

Soon I saw Shuai Qi in the middle of the army.

He quickly ran to General Lian Po and immediately jumped off his horse, knelt in front of several generals and said, "General, our army is less than a hundred miles away from Hangu Pass."

A flash of joy flashed in Lian Po's eyes, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Okay! Order the army to speed up and camp fifty miles outside Hangu Pass!"

"Here!"

After receiving the general's military order, the scouts immediately mounted their horses and drove toward the army in front. The scouts behind the generals received the news and quickly conveyed the news to the rear of the army.

"The general has given orders to speed up the advance of the army and set up camp fifty miles away from Hangu Pass."

"The general has an order..."

Soon the scouts conveyed the general's order to everywhere.

When the two centurions in charge of a hundred people heard the news conveyed by the scouts, a flash of excitement flashed in their eyes, and they talked with excitement on their faces:

"Great, the army has finally arrived after three days of long journey!"

"This time the armies of the four countries have raised millions of troops and formed a city. How can a small Hangu Pass in the Qin State stop this million troops? Maybe the King of Qin has not received the news yet."

"So what if I received the news? This time I heard that the Qin State was short of food and grass. General Bai Qi was transferred to guard the border. Even Prince Jun, who had previously conquered Handan, also led troops to solve the Qin State's food and grass problem. We went to attack the grasslands, and now all the people in the Qin State who are good at leading troops in battle are no longer in Xianyang. How can the Qin State deal with the millions of armies of the four countries?"

"What the centurion said is that maybe even the Qin State doesn't know that the armies of the four countries have arrived at Hangu Pass. Even if they react, it will be too late. It will take at least three days to mobilize troops from Xianyang to Hangu Pass. Unless the Qin State has already begun to gather troops before our army sends troops, it will be too late."

"..."

During the conversation, Zhao's vanguard army had stopped fifty miles outside Hangu Pass, and the huge army behind them also stopped one after another.The entire city was covered in darkness, and it looked like black dots of human heads covered the entire land.

Hangu Pass.

The captain of the city guard stood on the tower, lowered his head sleepily and rubbed his eyes.

At this moment, a soldier next to him pointed forward with a look of astonishment on his face and shouted loudly:
"That is……"

"what is that?"

When the captain of the city guard heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw something moving faintly in the dark open space in front of me, sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes moving and sometimes quiet, but I couldn't see anything clearly.

Seeing this scene, the captain of the city guard quickly shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Bring the rockets!"

A soldier immediately handed the long bow behind him to the captain's hand, and then took out an arrow wrapped in white cloth from the arrow tower. Suddenly, there was a smell of kerosene around him.

The captain quickly took the rocket from the soldier's hand, took out the fire starter from his arms, and blew on the arrow. Sparks of fire dropped on the arrow covered with kerosene, and the white cloth wrapped on the arrow was instantly ignited.

The captain quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, staring closely at the dark place ahead.

"call out!"

The rocket suddenly shot out from his hand, and the sparks dimly illuminated everything it passed.

Ten miles!

Twenty miles!
Thirty miles!
……

Forty miles!
45 miles!

As the impact gradually dissipated, the arrows continued to fall from the sky.

The captain of the city guard stood on the city wall, staring closely at where the arrow passed.

48 miles!

"Snapped!"

The arrow fell to the ground.As the arrows fell, a fully armed army standing in neat rows and holding long swords and shields appeared in front of everyone. Behind the army, a red battle flag suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes, with a big word written on it. The word 'Zhao'.

"That……"

"That is……"

"Zhao Jun!!!"

The captain's face suddenly became panicked, and he hurriedly shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Quick, quick, beat the drum and win gold!!!"

"Here!"

A soldier immediately turned around and ran towards the place where the war drums were playing.

Seeing the soldiers leaving, the captain's eyes were filled with panic and he said to another soldier beside him: "Quick, go and inform General Li Xin that the Zhao army is attacking!!"

After saying that, he immediately looked at the other soldiers around him and ordered: "You guys, hurry up, follow me and continue to use rockets to explore the situation ahead!"

"Here!!"

Several soldiers shouted in response, taking down all the bows and arrows behind them, lighting the arrows and shooting them forward.

"duo~"

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"duo~"

The sound of war drums and horns suddenly sounded in Hangu Pass at the same time.

All the sleeping soldiers were awakened by the sound. When they heard the rapid sound of war drums and horns, no one had time to think about what had happened. They immediately put on their armor, picked up their bronze swords, and headed towards the tower. run in the direction.

The originally dark Hangu Pass suddenly became brightly lit. Countless soldiers stood on both sides of the street holding torches, illuminating all the roads to the city tower, making it easier for the soldiers to quickly go to the city to fight.

Dozens of centurions and captains of thousands stood in the city commanding the soldiers under their command.

Even in the face of an enemy attack, everyone performed their duties without any panic. All the soldiers went to the tower in an orderly manner to provide support.

at the same time.

General Hangu Pass's military tent.

General Li Xin of Hangu Pass was also awakened by the sudden sound of war drums and horns. He sat up suddenly, quickly put on his armor, picked up the weapons on the table and walked out of the tent.

At this moment.

A soldier guarding the city ran toward Li Xin with a panicked expression.

"Report!"

The soldiers guarding the city quickly came to the tent of the defending general Li Xin, knelt on the ground, and said breathlessly: "Qi...Qi General."

"The enemy troops of the Zhao Kingdom suddenly appeared outside Hangu Pass. Because the night was too dark, we couldn't see the enemy's strength clearly. The captain asked me to come and report!"

"what!"

"Zhao's army!"

Li Xin, the general responsible for guarding Hangu Pass, had a look of shock on his face and a heart full of surprise.

Zhao State had been severely damaged by Qin State due to the Battle of Handan, and it was impossible for Zhao State to invade Qin State again regardless of life and death.

If he still dares to attack at night, there must be someone else behind him to help.

At this moment, we need to understand the strength of this army before we can make appropriate decisions.

Li Xin immediately said to the soldiers kneeling in front of him: "Go quickly and order the captain of the city guard to find out more about it. In addition, let the soldiers stand ready to guard against night attacks by the Zhao army."

"Here!"

The soldiers immediately shouted in response and were about to turn around and leave.
