I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 233 Lian Po's Inner Demon, Trying to Break Through the One Million Soldiers
Hangu Pass.

In the Jin family army’s main camp, in the commander’s tent.

Jin Chan slowly opened his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

I saw four people, Yan, Zi'an, Li Xin and Mu Xuanzi, surrounding his bed, and some of them were even pointing and talking as if they were discussing something.

Outside the tent, Jin Chan also heard the sounds of crowds and noise.

"Boss Jin, are you going to ascend to heaven?"

Seeing Zi'an holding his chin and looking at him suspiciously, Jin Chan quickly sat up from the bed, put on his armor, and then replied: "What do you mean by metamorphosis and ascension? What are you doing?"

"Brother Jin, more than an hour ago, the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains transformed by the national destiny flew to Hangu Pass, stayed there for a while, and then all flowed into your body!"

"Brother Yan Zi, national destiny? What national destiny? Isn't national destiny that dark thing?"

Zi'an asked in a confused manner.

Although they had only been in the camp for a few days, Tang Qianyan, a veteran who had lived for a thousand years, immediately claimed that he was Jin Chan's confidant, and it didn't take long for him to become friends with Li Xin and his companions.

Whenever they had some free time, they would drink and eat meat together.

They even became brothers, and Little Swallow didn't mind being called Swallow.

With his appearance of a slacker soldier, one would never guess that he was once Lin Yao, the first emperor of the Central Plains.

"The mountains and rivers of the Central Plains where the rays of light gathered just now were transformed by the country's destiny, but from what I see, it is only half of it!"

"Brother Yan Zi, you have good eyesight, but why didn't you tell me before? You had to wait until the boss woke up!"

Watching the quarrels among the people, Jin Chan finally understood that the other half of the country's fortune that had flown out of the underground palace was, as expected, bestowed upon this body.

"Well, what's so surprising about this? Are you all free now? You don't go to the military training so early in the morning, but come to me."

"Boss Jin, you're still training soldiers? What the hell are you training soldiers for! Old Lu, the new official, immediately fired me and replaced me with that guy called 'Ke'. All my soldiers are now under that bastard's command."

Zi'an became furious when this matter was mentioned.

Yesterday, Lu Buwei summoned generals from all parties to discuss matters on the top floor of Hangu Pass.

As soon as he took office, he dismissed Zi'an from his post, and then Li Xin, and asked the two of them to manage the baggage and food in the rear.

As for middle-aged generals such as Bai Ma Cuo, Ying Dang, and Ying Ji, although their positions have not changed, they will not be sent to lead troops into battle for the time being.

Instead, he replaced them with the five people he brought from Xianyang: Ke, Yaoli, Nie Zheng, Zhuan Zhu and Zhu Hai.

"This old dog Lu is just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Boss Jin, what should we do if we can't swallow this anger?"

Seeing Zi'an describe himself in this way, the slightly calmer Li Xin did not complain, but asked Jin Chan.

"Boss Jin, why did the king send Lü Buwei to replace you? Now that you have made many military achievements in the court, the king is not the same as before. There is no need to give up power to Lü Buwei!"

"Brother Li, I think it's that old dog Lu who's pushing us too far!"

Zi'an spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, then stepped on it with his foot. He looked so indignant that he seemed to really want to find Lu Buwei to sharpen his knife.

"Alright, alright, the war has begun, everyone go to your positions!"

Outside Hangu Pass at this time.

War drums roared, shouts were heard, and horses trampled the ground, stirring up layers of dust.

Because the matter of the Bronze Palace had delayed them for several days, the State of Chu did not have much time left for Lian Po.

Although the art of war says, if there are ten of them, surround them; if there are five, attack them.

The strength of the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms was only three times that of Qin.

But the old fellow Lian Po could no longer care about anything else, so he decided to burn his boats and directly use the human wave tactic to compete between national strength and military power.

Even Lian Po himself led his troops to try to break through a corner of Hangu Pass first.

The stones were poured with kerosene and ignited, and rows of catapults launched the first round of attack.

Then the giant crossbow carts and crossbow soldiers fired at Hangu Pass, suppressing the Qin troops on the pass tower.

After a few rounds.

Only then will the army charge, protect the ramparts, ladders, battering rams and siege vehicles and launch a general attack.

Lian Po pointed his spear and roared, "Charge!"

I saw fireballs all over the sky like meteorites falling from the sky, hitting the gate tower of Hangu Pass one by one with scorching heat.

Flames flew everywhere, thick smoke billowed, and the Qin soldiers on the gate tower took shelter one after another.

At the same time, dozens of ladders were set up on the city walls.

The siege vehicle with a huge sharp wood at the front was also pushed by the soldiers and slammed violently against the closed door.

Dong~dong~dong~
The huge crash was instantly drowned out by the fighting and shouting of the soldiers.

The Qin troops on the Guanlou were not to be outdone. They launched a frenzied counterattack with rolling logs, stones, hot oil and arrows.

The heavy logs rolled down from the city wall, hitting the Allied soldiers and making them scream in pain.

The rocks flew out like cannonballs, destroying the ladders below one by one.

The flaming hot oil poured down from the city wall, splashing onto the Allied soldiers, instantly burning them into wailing firemen.

The first round of challenges lasted for an hour and a half.

Inside Hangu Pass, dozens of horizontal wooden bars locking the gate kept creaking.

Some even have cracks.

The top of the building.

In his left hand, Lu Buwei held a brown, translucent amber gourd containing two insects.

And his right hand stroked his beard as usual and chuckled. "Haha, the Three Kingdoms coalition is just so-so. The four famous generals are just chickens and dogs. Without the tower, how can you, with three times the number of troops, break through the world's first pass?"

Lu Buwei is very confident.

On the one hand, they believed in the impregnable Hangu Pass.

On the other hand, he had already taken action, and if he did, Qi would probably withdraw its troops within a few days.

By then, if we just add fuel to the fire, maybe the State of Chu will withdraw its troops.

The Three Kingdoms attacked Qin, the two countries withdrew their troops, and the Tang Kingdom naturally would not continue.

By then, the danger of Hangu Pass can be easily resolved.

And in the court of the Qin Dynasty, Lu Buwei will become the first powerful official in history to hold both military and political power.

"Ke, lower the drawbridges on both sides in half an hour. You, Yaoli, and Nie Zheng will each lead 70,000 soldiers out of the pass to kill the enemy."

Although clearing the countryside is the best strategy, this is the first time that Lu Buwei is in control of the overall situation as the main general. If he just defends and does not attack, he may find it difficult to gain the support of the people.

"promise!"

The three people behind Lu Buwei were as light as ghosts. They just nodded slightly and retreated.

Walking like the wind, without even the sound of footsteps.

Rather than saying that he is a general who leads troops to kill the enemy, it would be more appropriate to say that he is an assassin who hides in the dark and kills people without anyone noticing.

And the valley entrance on the other side.

In front of the camp of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces.

Lian Po thrust the spear in his hand into the ground, frowning and staring into the distance.

"The Central Plains is vast, but only the Guanzhong Plain of Qin is a place with four barriers. In the east, there is Hangu Pass, the best pass in the world. One man can block the way for ten thousand men. In the south, there are Sanguan Pass and Wuguan Pass, located on the east and west sides of the south respectively. They are located in the mountains and their momentum remains unchanged. If you want to break through the pass, you must first cross the towering Qinling Mountains. In the northwest plateau, there is Xiaoguan Pass, which serves as the last line of defense for the Western Regions and the Northern Di to protect Xianyang City."

"Alas! Among the six kingdoms in the Central Plains, none of them is as good as Qin. The four great passes lock Qinchuan. It is truly a place where the country is established by destiny!"

Lian Po sighed helplessly and fell into deep thought as he looked at the towering Hangu Pass in front of him.

He led the Zhao army to attack Hangu Pass. Decades ago, when King Zhao of Qin was still in power, he had led the Zhao army to this land.

Although Lian Po had not yet been named one of the four famous generals at that time, his strength should not be underestimated, and he was compared with Bai Qi and Xiang Yan by the world.

It was just the battle of Hangu Pass that year.

Zhao and Wei attacked the city for three months, but because they could not take it and their food and grass were almost exhausted, they had to return in disgrace.

It was thought that this time the Chu State had dispatched the Lanjing Chariot: Denglou, the elite Central Plains army that was capable of destroying cities and strongholds, could avenge the shame of that year. However, who would have thought that it would be destroyed by Bai Qi, who had an army of one million, with just one sword.

"Damn it, am I so unlucky?"

Lian Po cursed inwardly, then picked up his spear and spoke to Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao and Tian Dan behind him.

"You three guys, come with me to break through the pass. This time, you must protect me within ten meters. I will break through a million soldiers and destroy the gate of Hangu Pass!"

Lian Po seemed to have made up his mind, and the fire in his eyes burned brighter and brighter.

The four famous generals of the Central Plains became a joke after Bai Qi broke through the million-strong army.

Lian Po had been compared with Bai Qi all his life, and the anger in his heart was on the verge of exploding.

Since Bai Qi could do it, Lian Po could naturally do it too.

The words fell.

Lian Po raised the reins and galloped towards Hangu Pass with the blood-red horse under his crotch.

"Is this old man crazy?"

Li Cunxiao turned around, pointed at his temple with his right index finger, turned around and asked Xiang Yu beside him.

"I don't know. A million soldiers' spirit and breaking through a million are two completely different concepts. My grandfather was trapped within a million throughout his life."

Xiang Yu clenched the Overlord Spear in his hand, his face slightly cold.

To break through the morale of millions of soldiers and surpass the four famous generals was the vow he made when he was four years old.

But now, Bai Qi was the first to cross this chasm in the hearts of all the generals in the Central Plains and became the number one in the world, surpassing the four famous generals.

"Tsk, I'm still young. If you give me another twenty years, no, ten years, I will definitely be able to break through a million soldiers and surpass Bai Qi back then!"

Li Cunxiao was born with arrogance. Like Xiang Yu, both of them were favored sons of heaven in their respective countries.

the other side.

Tian Dan, the main general of Qi, took a look at the two men and thought in his heart how to kill Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao without anyone noticing.

After all, among the younger generation of Qi, there is no one who can even catch up with these two, let alone stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Drive~~~
The three of them jumped on their horses and whipped their horses at the same time, leading the generals behind them, and followed Lian Po to launch a second round of attack towards Hangu Pass.

Different from the challenge in the morning.

This time, the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms mainly suppressed the enemy with military force, bringing only ladders and not even a battering ram to destroy the city gates.

"What does Lian Po want to do?"

Close upstairs.

Lu Buwei looked at Lian Po who was leading the charge, holding the reins in his left hand and the spear in his right hand, and rushed to the front, feeling somewhat puzzled.

And at the same time.

The suspension bridge on the second floor of Hangu Pass was also slowly lowered.

Ke, Yaoli and Nie Zheng were seen wearing white clothes and armor, white straw raincoats and hats, riding white horses, leading the Qin army behind them, and rushing down along the wide bridge.
