Chapter 1092: Surprise attack on Hangu (Part 1)


    Chapter 1090: Surprise attack to destroy Hangu (Part 1)


    Outside the Yewang City.


    After a whole day of siege, the Qin army withdrew in an orderly manner, leaving only gravel, arrows, and residual limbs everywhere.


    The Qin army soldiers retreated and insulted, provoking the Liang army in the city with an almost contemptuous attitude. Although the Liang army was extremely angry about this, they had no choice but to watch the Qin army retreat but did not dare to pursue it.


    Li Cunxiao, who was hidden not far away, couldn''t help but frown when he saw this, "It seems that Yang Lin is determined to be a turtle with a head-shrinking."


    "Yang Lin was defeated in several battles with Governor Bai Qi. It would be a bit strange if he dared to go out of the city to pursue him." Jiang Song said seriously.


    “It’s hard to deal with this.”


    Ran Min''s eyes were full of solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "Now the entire Sizhou is like a pool of stagnant water, and the war situations of all parties have reached a deadlock. Only when we successfully resolve Yang Lin can our army turn passive into initiative.


    It was precisely because of this that Governor Bai Qi personally led the army to the Ye Wang, but he didn''t expect that Yang Lin would be so difficult to deal with.


    Although the Liang army suffered several defeats, its troops were still sufficient, while our army''s siege materials were consumed by nearly half. If we continue to drag on like this, it would probably be detrimental to our army. ”


    Li Cunxiao nodded in agreement: "Anyway, go back and report to General Bai first."


    "Um."


    Late at night, Zhou Yu saw that Bai Qi''s tent was still lit, so he immediately walked in with the newly cooked hot chicken soup, but saw Bai Qi staring at the sand table with concentration.


    During the period when he was with Bai Qi, Zhou Yu learned too much under Bai Qi''s words and deeds.


    Although Bai Qi did not admit that he had his apprentice, Zhou Yu believed that Bai Qi was his master, so he had a sincere respect for Bai Qi.


    Seeing Bai Qi''s face full of fatigue, Zhou Yu said with concern: "Governor, you haven''t closed your eyes for three days and three nights. Have some food first and then have a good rest."


    In Bai Qi''s world, it seemed that there was only the sand table in front of him. Without even looking at Zhou Yu, he issued the order to expel guests in a cold manner.


    “Let go and go out.”


    Zhou Yu was not dissatisfied with Bai Qi''s indifference, and he had long been used to it. After all, Bai Qi is such a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.


    "No."


    Zhou Yu walked to the door of the tent, but turned his head and added: "Governor, if the chicken soup is cold, it will not be delicious..."


    Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yu felt a sharp gaze and immediately ran out of the tent with a wry smile.


    After Bai Qi led his army to the Ye Wang, he had already negotiated with Yang Lin four times and won every battle.


    In the four battles, although Bai Qi had the opportunity to seize the Wild King, Yang Lin was extremely cautious and always kept the bottom line. He would rather lose his troops and generals than put the Wild King City in a difficult situation. Therefore, Bai Qi failed to capture the Wild King.


    After Yang Lin lost four times in a row, he realized the gap with Bai Qi and did not dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. He just insisted on his determination and would never leave the city easily.


    Yewang City has high walls and thick walls. Yang Lin cannot come out, and Bai Qi dares not attack.


    The casualties of the strong attack were too great, and if Bai Qi lost too much troops, even if he won this battle, Sizhou would not be able to play a role later.


    In desperation, Bai Qi could only rely on a mixed army formation composed of catapults and crossbows to bit by bit consume the strength and morale of the Liang army, and to find another opportunity to win from other aspects.


    "Is that your disciple?"


    As soon as Zhou Yu left, a man walked out from behind the screen in the big tent. It was Dugu Qiubai who came in the name of Qin Hao.


    After hearing Dugu Qiubai''s words, Bai Qi nodded calmly and looked at him and said lightly: "Yes, what''s wrong?"


    “Good vision.”


    Bai Qi frowned slightly and said lightly, "Senior, you came to me from all the way. It''s impossible for this to be for this?"


    "Tell me quickly if you have something to say, but let me tell you a short story. I''m very busy."


    Seeing that Bai Qi was still as cold as ever, Dugu Qiubai laughed in silence.


    "You are so boring. I really don''t understand why that girl Ah Qing likes you."


    Bai Qi and Dugu Qiubai were both from Hei Bingtai. Before Bai Qi joined the army, he was an instructor of Hei Bingtai, while Dugu Qiubai was the commander of Hei Bingtai, so they naturally knew each other.


    The conversation between the two seems cold, but for both of them, who are extremely indifferent, such communication is already very "passionate".


    "I really didn''t expect that after you left the Black Ice Platform, you were able to reach this point today. It was indeed the right decision not to keep you at the beginning." Dugu Qiubai said with emotion.


    Bai Qi couldn''t help but remain silent for a while when he heard this, then asked, "How is the Black Ice Platform now?"


    "Since the young master formed the Jinyiwei, a large number of backbone elites have joined the Jinyiwei. Now the lineup of the Black Ice Platform is far worse than before."


    "Yeah?"


    Bai Qi''s eyes flickered when he heard this. He thought Dugu Qiubai was dissatisfied with Qin Hao''s behavior of weakening the Black Ice Platform, and immediately said tentatively: "With you as the grandmaster, and A Qing and Qin Yijue are there, how could the Jinyiwei compare to the Black Ice Platform?"


    After a few more indirect words, Bai Qi realized that he was overthinking. Dugu Qiubai was just feeling it, not because he had any dissatisfaction with Qin Hao.


    "I''m here to convey the young master''s order to you."


    As he said that, Dugu Qiubai handed the handwritten letter from Qin Hao to Bai Qi.


    Bai Qi couldn''t help but feel even more confused when he heard this. The Qin army already had a pigeon letter delivery system. If there is any news, Fei Ge''s letter delivery is not faster. Why should a grandmaster come to deliver the letter in person?


    Bai Qi took it apart and found that Qin Hao''s notes were indeed reduced. His doubts had decreased a lot, but his face changed completely before he could finish reading it.


    "Since our army is used in Hangu Pass, why not say it earlier? If you say it earlier, so many soldiers would not have sacrificed their lives."


    In order to defeat the Wild King during this period, Bai Qi was so worried that he even turned white in his hair. He even planned to compete with Yang Lin four times. Although he won, he also suffered a certain amount of casualties. But if he had known that there was a secret son in Hangu Pass, his previous sacrifice would have been completely avoided.


    Dugu Qiubai was silent for a while and said, "We have only convinced the city gate captain recently."


    The reason why Dugu Qiubai didn''t tell the truth to Bai Qi was actually because Qin Hao didn''t let him tell him.


    Qin Hao didn''t want his subordinates to know that this matter was related to Li Shimin, after all, the cooperation between him and Li Shimin was simply shameful.


    In addition, Qin Hao was also afraid that after Bai Qi saw Li Shimin, he would not only refuse to let Li Shimin go because of fear, but also directly killed Li Shimin as saying that "the general will not accept the orders of the outside king."


    Li Shimin is related to Qin Hao''s plan to cholera Guanxi, so in order to prevent accidents in the plan, Qin Hao directly issued a ban on Dugu Qiubai.


    The reason for Dugu Qiubai did not find any fault in Bai Qi, but there were other things in the letter that Bai Qi couldn''t understand.


    "Then, senior, please explain to me why Li Yuanba left the Wild King during the war? And this one..."


    "this…"


    Dugu Qiubai pondered for a while and frowned, "Bai Qi, you were also from the Black Ice Platform. You should know that knowing too much about some things is not a good thing. Young Master must have his own plans. As a minister, we just need to obey our orders."


    Bai Qi couldn''t help but feel silent when he heard this, and then said lightly: "I understand."
