    Qian Zhongyi specially put on a blood-red cloak today and stood upright on the city gate tower with a knife, which was very cool and conspicuous.  He was the commander-in-chief of the last garrison ordered to guard Hangu Pass.  Since the beginning of this year, the soldiers and civilians at Hangu Pass have begun a large-scale retreat towards Xianyang. Hangu Pass is the focus of the road management. He has managed to feed the soldiers and civilians, and they are also very loyal to him.  Compared with the Qin people who had no food to eat in other places, the Qin people around Hangu Pass still lived a relatively comfortable life. Although there were labor and military service, they still had food to eat, clothes to wear, and not much money.  , but they can still spend it, so after giving the order, the soldiers and civilians here gave up their family properties and headed towards Xianyang without saying a word.  Here are the military workshops and other important factories concentrated here. These must be evacuated to Xianyang City. During the New Year, these workshops and craftsmen are the first to leave, followed by the army and young men, and the last ones to evacuate are the civilians.  In order to ensure a smooth retreat, Qian Zhongyi led 20,000 people to make a final stand here.  "Father!" Qian Zhongyi's eldest son Qian Ming came over and stood beside him. Looking at the dense artillery and countless siege equipment of the Han army in the distance, his face looked a little pale.  "What, are you scared?" Qian Zhongyi glanced at his eldest son and said with some dissatisfaction.  "It's not that I'm afraid, kid." Qian Ming cheered up, "In the past two years, I have followed my father in the battle. There has never been a time when my son was not at the forefront. But this time, does our perseverance mean something?" "Meaning?" Qian Zhongyi  He glanced at his son and laughed: Behind him, there are thousands of old and weak women and children retreating to Xianyang. Every day we hold on, they will be more complete. Every day we hold on, Xianyang will have one more day to prepare.  His Majesty the Emperor is preparing for an unprecedented decisive battle with the Han army in Xianyang. That is the battle that will determine the life and death of our Qin country. Do you think it makes sense for us to hold on here?  " Qian Ming was silent for a moment: "Father.  How sure do you think we are of winning this decisive battle?  " Hearing what his son said, Qian Zhongyi also fell silent. After a while, he said: "No beating.  There is no certainty at all. If we don¡¯t fight, who will know?  Nothing will be finalized until the dust settles. History is full of examples of battles that turned defeat into victory.  As long as we Qin people work together as one, there may not be no chance of a comeback.  " " I hope so!  "Qian Ming lowered his head. "As a general, your lack of confidence makes your generals even more frightened. Your subordinates are all looking at you for your courage as a general!  "Seeing that Qian Ming couldn't cheer up, Qian Zhongyi was a little angry. "I know.  Qian Ming nodded, "Father, last night, I asked my second uncle to take their family."  There is also the second brother and the younger sister has gone out of town.  My mother refused to leave, but she also promised me not to tell you about this matter. Now, the second uncle and the others are afraid that they have entered the area controlled by the Han army.  " Qian Zhongyi was stunned. He looked at his son, his face slowly turned red, and he raised his hand suddenly with a crisp sound. Five red handprints suddenly appeared on the left side of Qian Ming's face. "Damn it,  You rebelled, you, you actually sent your family away.  If this were leaked, wouldn't it demoralize the troops in the city?  "Qian Zhongyi's whole body was shaking with anger, but he had to lower his voice. The surrounding soldiers were shocked when they saw the general suddenly slap the young general. Qian Ming's voice also lowered his voice, but he didn't say anything.  Staring at his father without fear: ¡°Father.  In fact, you also know that we are just making a final struggle. If this is the case, why are we dragging my second uncle and his family, as well as my second brother and sister, to die here together?  " "Who said you will definitely die in the city?  Qian Zhongyi said solemnly: "As long as we defend the city, we can ensure the safety of everyone. To defend the city, we need to be united."  " "We are fighting now, not in the past. Look at the artillery under the city. Which part of the city is safe?  Within the range of the artillery, there is a possibility of being blown up. Even if they can escape the artillery fire, will you let them survive when the city is really broken?  Qian Ming said. Qian Zhongyi suddenly fainted, and after a while he said: "Qian Ming, do you know why His Majesty the Emperor appointed me to guard Hangu Pass and promoted me to general?"  " Qian Ming sneered: "What's wrong with this? Because countless Han troops died under your hands. Their 20th Army was half disabled by you. If you guard it, they will never worry about you surrendering.  , because the Han army will never let you go.  Then Li Mingjun must eat your flesh alive and sleep on your skin.  " "Not only Li Mingjun, but also Zhao Xilie. Compared with Li Mingjun, Zhao Xilie has a higher status and is more influential. Li Mingjun's subordinates are more of Zhao Xilie's elite troops back then.  "Qian Zhongyi chuckled, "So His Majesty the Emperor appointed me to guard it becauseI know that I will fight to the end without surrendering.  Because my surrender is also a word of death.  So Qian Ming, I kept them, firstly, to stabilize the morale of the army, and secondly, if I really want to die, the whole family will die together, and I will have a companion on the road to hell, so I won't be too lonely. You and I will accompany you on the road to hell. They  Don't worry about being bullied by others, no, by ghosts. Your uncle and your brother are too weak.  If you send them to Han-controlled areas now, do you think the Han people will let them go?  " "I heard that there is no crime among the Han people, and everyone is responsible for what they do. Our father and son have a grudge against them. My uncle, younger brother and sister have never been on the battlefield.  " "You are always so naive.  Well, now that this is the case, I have nothing to say. I just hope that as you said, they will have a good life in Han and will not be implicated by us!  It's just that they don't have the ability to run a business. Even if they go to Han, how can they survive?  " "In the past year, I have exchanged all my belongings for money and deposited them in a Han bank. I gave all the certificates to my second brother. If they really will not be affected by us, with these  Money, it is not a problem for them to survive in Han Dynasty.  Qian Mingdao. Qian Zhongyi looked at his son for a long time, as if he just met him today, "When did you start doing this?"  "    "during the New Year.  Qian Ming said: "At that time, I knew that our Great Qin was going to be doomed."  "You are so thoughtful that you even managed to hide it from me." Qian Zhongyi smiled bitterly, "Now that they are gone, we father and son will have a good deal with the Han people. Last year I defeated the Han army in Jinyang and killed countless people. Today  Entering Jinyang, I was in the vanguard when attacking, and in the rear when retreating. I have seen many Han armies, and the battles have been going on for a long time. Hangu Pass is not something that the Han people can take if they want.  "The son is willing to live and die with his father," Qian Ming said loudly.  Qian Zhongyi nodded happily. Although his son did a lot of things without telling him, it was because of his filial piety and family affection, but it was also blameless. He wanted to encourage his son a few more words, but what he said was suddenly interrupted by the city.  The sound of shelling was completely drowned out.  Under the city, hundreds of artillery pieces opened fire at once. The sound was so loud that everyone was shocked. Apart from the roar of the artillery fire, nothing else could be heard in their ears. The Han army's position was clearly visible just now.  , instantly filled with smoke.  Qian Ming suddenly threw his father down under the city wall and covered his father tightly with his body. However, when his waist tightened, his father pulled him over and pressed him underneath him.  "Dad!" He shouted loudly, but found that even he couldn't hear the voice he shouted.  The ground shook, and the entire Hangu Pass city was trembling and shaking, as if it might collapse at any time. Thick cannonballs flew over, hit the wall, landed in the city wall, and shot over the wall into the pass.  , closed the pass, and immediately fell into a sea of ??fire.  "Counterattack, father, counterattack immediately!" After the first round of shelling, Qian Ming turned over and sat up, drew his sword and rushed towards his artillery position.  "No need!" Qian Zhongyi sat leaning against the wall. The artillery range could not reach their artillery positions. This is why I hid our artillery and spread it out. We could not destroy their artillery.  We can only try to preserve our artillery positions and let them play a role when the Han army attacks the city. I don¡¯t believe that the Han army is made of iron and steel. One shot can still blow up their siege equipment and destroy it.  Their siege will.  Let their flesh and blood fly everywhere and their blood flow into rivers.  " Qian Zhongyi's confidence is not unreasonable. After Lu was stationed at Hangu Pass, the most important thing he did was to strengthen the city wall of Hangu Pass. In addition to the original city wall, it was rebuilt with reinforced concrete.  A thick barrier was formed, which allowed the Han army's solid artillery to hit it, leaving at most a dent. It was difficult to cause substantial damage to this completely integral wall, while the Qin army  Although the artillery has a short range and extremely unreliable quality, and often explodes, the artillery positions on the city wall are all hidden in cement gun holes and cannot be moved or adjusted. However, Hangu Pass  It was enough to seal the attack surface with dozens of artillery pieces. He arranged for his son to go to the city to appease the army, but Qian Zhongyi hunkered down and inspected the gun positions one by one on the city wall, asking him to do so.  What is reassuring is that although the Han army's artillery fire destroyed most of the buildings on the city wall, these artillery positions were all safe and sound. The only thing to worry about was that the gunners looked pale. Obviously, such a scale of artillery fire made them  Being greatly shocked, Qian Zhongxin comforted the gunners with kind words, and he felt a little more confident as he looked at the unharmed city walls and artillery.
