A hundred miles northwest of Wu Pass, five thousand cavalrymen were galloping on their horses. Black Xuan Bird flags were fluttering in the wind, making rustling sounds.
The leader was the Great Qin Emperor, Ying Fei. In order to help Wu Pass, he had been leading his army all night.
"Your Majesty, the rebel army Liu Bang has arrived outside Wuguan Pass. At the same time, another army of about 200,000 people has rushed to Hangu Pass with the intention of attacking our Hangu Pass.”
Hearing this, Ying Fei's eyes flashed with a dark coldness as he said indifferently,"Huo Qubing, what do you think?"
"Hangu Pass guards the throat of Xiaohan. It is connected to Hengling in the west, Juejian in the east, Qinling in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. The terrain is dangerous and the roads are narrow. It is known as the uneven track of vehicles and the uneven reins of horses. The city is thousands of miles long from east to west. The narrow valley road can only accommodate one vehicle.”
" In the past, King Huai of Chu led the armies of the six countries to attack Qin," Huo Qubing said in a deep voice." The Great Qin relied on the natural barrier of Hangu Valley to cause the armies of the six countries to die in a million bodies and shed blood. In the sixth year of the First Emperor of Qin, the armies of Chu, Zhao, Wei and other five countries invaded the State of Qin and fled in front of Hangu Pass.”
"The rebel army Liu Bang led couldn't be so foolish. The only possibility is that the Han Valley army was bait to confuse us, and Liu Bang's main force seized the opportunity to seize Wu Pass.”
"Not bad!"
Ying Fei nodded in satisfaction as she looked at this energetic young man. The nineteen-year-old Huo Qubing was at the peak of his life.
Due to the teachings of his uncle Wei Qing, he had outstanding military vision. Although he was full of vigor, he did not advance rashly. He faintly revealed the appearance of the champion Marquis of the Wolf House.
Liu Bang's army was now unstoppable, and their momentum was at its peak. If the Qin army could kill them in one strike, they would be able to completely break the rebel army's sharpness.
Then, they would be able to defeat Liu Bang's 200,000-strong army in one fell swoop.
"Send my order. All troops must rush to Wu Pass before Liu Bang's rebel army breaks through the city. Wu Pass is the barrier of Guanzhong and cannot be lost.”
"Yes."
Huo Qubing immediately gave the order. He was clear that the Emperor's ultimate goal in sending troops to Wu Pass was to dampen the morale of the rebel army and prepare to wipe them out.
The five thousand light cavalry of the imperial forest was the knife that would dampen the enemy's spirit. Under the attack of the cavalry, the rebel army would definitely be destroyed.
............
There were not many defenders in Wu Pass, and there was no news from the pass. The 200,000 rebel soldiers had arrived at the city, causing the Qin army to panic.
The general of Wu Pass was good at military affairs. He withdrew all the sentries in the Danshui River basin back into the pass, compressed the defensive line, and defended the pass.
On the other side, under Zhang Liang's suggestion, Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai led hundreds of elite Chu troops, disguised as Chu merchants, to the north, intending to enter the pass.
Ever since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, military affairs had never involved merchants. Even if countries were at war, merchants would still trade enthusiastically.
"Phew!"
Ying Fei reined in his horse and dismounted. After a long journey, the five thousand light cavalry of the Feather Forest finally arrived at the Martial Pass. The huge city was faintly visible.
At this moment, a thick smoke billowed in the distance, attracting everyone's attention.
"Your Majesty!"
Waving his hand, a solemn look flashed across Ying Fei's eyes. He seemed to have recalled something, and his expression immediately turned cold as he said in a cold voice,"Huo Qubing, immediately send out scouts. Zhen wants to know exactly what happened here.”
"Yes."
According to historical records, Liu Bang led his army to attack Wu Pass. Due to the heavy losses, his bestial nature was triggered and he slaughtered the city. In Wu Pass, all his men and women, old friends, were killed.
Those who achieved great things did not care about trifles. Ying Fei knew that not saving Wu Pass was the best choice for him. After all, only when Wu Pass was broken would the massacre of the city attract the attention of the people in Guanzhong.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as the people in Guanzhong could see the true colors of the rebel army, they would stand on the same side as Great Qin.
The blood of the soldiers and civilians in Wu Pass was enough to awaken the blood in the hearts of the old Qin soldiers and arouse the anger in their hearts. They would fight with the Qin army, regardless of whether they won or lost, until they died.
However, as the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, Ying Fei could not go against his conscience and watch as the Martial Pass was breached. After all, the soldiers and civilians of the Martial Pass were his people.
He wanted to openly tell the world that Great Qin was not destroyed and that Great Qin was still around. He wanted to set up a new flag and send a powerful signal to the Qin army that was struggling.
After a while, the scouts reported that a small group of rebel soldiers had crossed the Qinling Mountains and were burning, killing, and looting in the Qin territory.
"Bastard! How dare you do this!" Ying Fei was furious.”
"Your Majesty! Give the order. We, the imperial cavalry, will definitely tear the rebel army into pieces.”Huo Qubing's eyes were bloodshot and he was furious as he pleaded.
"Bring me my halberd!"
Ying Fei's aura changed drastically. He was like a tiger that had just escaped from its cage. The baleful aura around his body surged, making him look like a fierce general that could sweep across the world.
Then, two Feather Forest Cavalry held hands and carried up a black double-eared moonblade halberd. The pole seemed to have the spirit of an evil dragon from hell, and it made people tremble when they saw it.
The two crescent-shaped blades on the tip of the spear were connected to the tip of the spear through two small branches. The sharp tip of the spear exuded an unparalleled murderous aura, making one's ferocity gradually increase. It was a bloodthirsty weapon.
The Heavenly Halberd of Marquis Wen and Lu Bu, who dominated the end of the Han Dynasty, showed its brilliance for the first time in this era.
