Chapter 864: Breaking Guangcheng Pass (Part 2)

 In the next five days, the coalition forces attacked Guangcheng Pass with all their strength, but the resistance of the defenders in the pass was far beyond everyone's expectation.

Although guard general Han Qinhu was captured alive by Bai Qi, he arranged everything before leaving. Deputy general Wang Fang did not know what means he used, which seemed to arouse the collective indignation of the defenders in the pass, causing Guangcheng Pass to question whether Han Qinhu seems to be the same.

Guangchengguang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and all kinds of defense weapons and supplies are complete. Although the morale of the defenders is a bit low now, there is no turmoil. Naturally, there is no way for the coalition forces to forcefully break through. so easy.

Bai Qi saw that Guangchengguan was defending in an orderly manner and did not show any signs of panic. He couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes and said softly: "Who is this Wang Fang, who can calm down the morale of Liang's army so quickly? You really underestimate this person.”

“In this way, Abai, the last move you prepared will be of use. You must be feeling proud now.”

Ah Qing covered his small mouth and chuckled, and when Bai Qi heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and it was obvious that Ah Qing had broken his mind.

Bai Qi had already prepared a strategy to break through the barrier, but he didn't expect that Han Qinhu would come to the door himself. This was not part of the plan and could only be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

Next, Han Qinhu was captured. After losing his leader, anyone would think that Guangcheng Pass would be in chaos without a fight. It would only be a matter of time before the Kwantung Allied Forces broke through the pass, so Bai Qi prepared a good back-up plan for two months. , naturally there is no use for it.

　　But Bai Qi did not expect that the minion Wang Fang in his eyes would give him a big surprise this time, and this made his two months of preparation not in vain.

Sun Jian and other princes couldn't help but turn gloomy when they saw Guangcheng resisting so tenaciously. If this trend continues, it would be impossible to break through without twenty or thirty thousand people dying, and this price is really too high. They feel bad.

"In my opinion, it is better to let Han Qinhu order the garrison within the pass to surrender. The garrison within the pass will not disobey the general's orders, right?" Liu Yao said coldly.

"But even if Duke Yi personally persuaded him, Han Qinhu didn't say a word. He had already made it clear that he would not surrender until death. How could he issue such an order?" Sun Jian frowned.

“Hmph, this Liangzhou barbarian really doesn’t know how to praise him, but he has already fallen into our hands. It’s not up to him whether he wants to speak or not.”

Qiao Mao sneered and said, the implication of his words was to torture him to force Han Qinhu to submit.

Handang, who was beside Sun Jian, was furious after hearing this. He was about to speak out to refute, but was stopped by Sun Jian's look.

“There’s no point in doing this, it’s just a waste of time.”

Sun Jian looked at Qiao Mao calmly and said calmly: "Han Qinhu is a real man. He is not even afraid of death, so how can he be afraid of torture?"

When Han Dang heard this, he was immediately moved. Of course he knew that his lord protected his eldest brother for his own sake, and he became more determined to persuade his eldest brother to surrender to his lord.

Seeing Sun Jian's attitude of wanting to protect Han Qinhu, all the princes also felt some dissatisfaction in their hearts. After all, you can't let our men die in vain just because Han Qinhu is your brother?

Sun Jian is Qin Wen's sworn brother after all, and his reputation as the "Jiangdong Tiger" is still very intimidating, so although the princes are dissatisfied with this, they are not at the point of breaking out.

“Then Prefect Sun, what do you want to do?” Qiao Mao said coldly.

Sun Jian pondered for a moment and then said: "Although Han Qinhu's way is blocked, we can use his words to spread his orders to the pass." After pondering for a while, Li Mi retorted: "I'm afraid this won't work, Han If Qin Hu didn't show up, it would be impossible for the defenders in the pass to believe him."

Sun Jian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's try it first. Even if it doesn't succeed, it can still affect the enemy's morale."

All the princes thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. After all, this decision would not harm their interests, but Sun Jian sighed helplessly when he saw this.

Now Sun Jian understood how difficult it was to regulate the major princes. The Southern Route Army only had seven princes who had exhausted themselves mentally and physically, but Qin Hao was able to submissively control the thirty-six princes. Sun Jian felt that I am truly overwhelmed with admiration.

"Good nephew, good nephew, uncle, I really admire you. Choosing you to be the leader of the alliance is indeed the most correct choice." Sun Jian thought to himself.

Just as Sun Jian was sighing, the princes were arguing with each other about the attack on the city. At this time, Bai Qi strode in, clasped his fists and said calmly: "Fellow princes, Bai has a plan to attack Guangcheng within three days." close."

As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, the noisy camp suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Qi.

Sun Jian stood up even more excitedly and said eagerly: "General Bai Qi, come here quickly. If we can really break Guangcheng Pass, the general will be the biggest contributor to our Southern Route Army."

Bai Qi glanced at the princes indifferently, and then said calmly: "It's like this. Two months ago, I had already thought of a strategy to break the pass, and sent people to dig a tunnel connecting Guangcheng Pass.

In the past two months, although I have not fought with Han Qinhu, I have continued to attract his attention, so this tunnel has not been discovered yet, and I can dig it through to the pass tonight. The army can cooperate internally and externally to attack Guangcheng Pass in one fell swoop. "

Digging tunnels is relatively easy to crack. As long as there is a little awareness of precautions, there is basically no possibility of success. Moreover, it is considered too time-consuming and laborious, so few generals use this method.

There are still many doorways in the tunnel. As long as you are thoroughly aware of the twists and turns, you can avoid being discovered to the greatest extent. In this case, the enemy will be unable to guard against it, and Bai Qi is obviously a knowledgeable person.

The location of the tunnel dug by Bai Qi was relatively remote, and it was dug extremely deep. Because of this, he continued to dig for nearly three months, but it was also because of this that it was never discovered by the defenders in the pass.

 After hearing what Bai Qi said, all the princes were shocked and speechless.

Bai Qi actually thought of a way to break through the barrier more than two months ago, and held back until now to launch it, and it has not been discovered by the enemy yet. The possibility of such a success must be extremely high.

From this point of view, even if Bai Qi did not capture Han Qinhu alive, even if he did not have the 100,000 coalition troops on the southern route, Bai Qi could still break through Guangcheng Pass based on Bai Qi's previous arrangements.

This is really terrifying. One hundred thousand coalition troops are not as good as one person in vain.

Late that night, two generals, Qin Wu and Sun Ce, led a thousand soldiers and horses into the pass through the tunnel, and then suddenly attacked and opened the city. The coalition forces cooperated internally and externally and finally captured Guangcheng in one fell swoop.
