Chapter 187 Ying Yuan defends the city as the vanguard



However, at this moment, he was facing Wu Qi and the 600,000-strong Chu army.

Ying Yuan looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice, "At our current marching speed, how long will it take to reach Hangu Pass?"

Huo Guang responded, "Your Majesty, it will take at least half a month."

After all, they have an army of hundreds of thousands.

Don't rush forward.

Otherwise, if the logistics and food supplies cannot keep up, even if they reach Hangu Pass, they will be an exhausted army and will be of no use.

Hearing this, Ying Yuan frowned and asked, "One month, so long?"

The generals and soldiers originally thought that the emperor felt that the 50,000 soldiers guarding Hangu Pass might not be able to hold out for more than a month.

In fact, he was almost impatient to die.

Moreover, he also analyzed it from the battle report.

Yu Jin is indeed a good general.

Facing Wu Qi, he did not fall into a disadvantage in a short period of time.

If I don't reach Hangu Pass, I'm afraid Wu Qi will choose to retreat because he can't capture the pass!

How is this possible?!

"Your Majesty, this is already the fastest marching speed."

Song King Zhao Kuangyin said.

Ying Yuan immediately shook his head and said, "The military situation is urgent. We can wait, but the soldiers at Hangu Pass cannot wait!

Didn't the Prince of Liang bring 100,000 cavalry? I will first allocate 60,000, and I will personally lead them to Hangu Pass."

As soon as the words fell.

It encountered opposition from many people.

As the king of a country, it is already very good that you lead the army in person.

How can he still be a pioneer?

This is absolutely not allowed!

Hearing their refusal, Ying Yuan knew that he would have to give another long speech to try to convince them.

Whenever this happened, he thought he was a wise ruler.

"I think you remember what Cao Cao said when we were in Xianyang City.

Wu Qi was a good general of the Chu State. Yu Jin had only participated in one battle, and the two sides had a huge disparity in military strength. How could he be his opponent?

If I don't lead 60,000 elite cavalry to rescue Hangu Pass first, and then this pass is lost and the enemy is allowed to enter our country, can you afford it then?"

Prince Dong Zhuo of Liang clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you can simply send a general. There's no need for you to go in person!"

Ying Yuan feigned anger and said, "I am the emperor! Only if I personally go to the front line and fight the enemy together with the soldiers can I raise morale to the highest level!

This is also the purpose of my personal expedition. I ask, besides me, who among you has the ability to maintain the morale of the soldiers?"

These words stumped all the soldiers.

To be honest, the entire army is eager to fight the State of Chu immediately.

Why?

Because the emperor is here!

That is the belief in the hearts of people across the country!

Who doesn’t want to show off their faith?

Seeing their silence, Ying Yuan continued, "Don't worry, I will ensure my own safety. I will take Lu Bu and Pan Feng with me. Now you can rest assured, right?

Besides, I went to Hangu Pass to defend the city, not to fight to the death with Wu Qi, so why should you worry? I only need to hold it for ten days or half a month until you arrive, isn't that enough?"

He thought to himself.

After arriving at Hangu Pass, we inferred the situation based on our own marching speed.

Wu Qi must capture Hangu Pass within ten days!

All the soldiers never expected that their faith was in the emperor of the Qin Empire.

It turned out to be a traitor.

However, even if he wanted to give away a kill, even if he actually did, it would be difficult for him to lose.

The main Chu State has only one national player.

There are many national servers in Daqin.
