Su Yi's troops marched dangerously and took Tianshui by surprise.

The flags of the Shu army on top of the city were quickly removed and replaced with black flags.

In the county house, in the backyard bedroom.

The Tianshui County Magistrate was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms.

The sound of rumbles of infantry running could be faintly heard outside, but this did not wake up the county magistrate. Tianshui was not a very important place, nor was it a battleground for military strategists. The years of comfortable life had already made him wake up.

The county magistrate no longer had any sense of caution.

However, his concubine heard the commotion and pushed him: "Master, did something happen outside?"

"Oh, what can happen to this three-thirds of an acre of land?" The Tianshui County Magistrate responded vaguely, and then turned over impatiently.

At this moment, the door was banged rapidly from outside, accompanied by the housekeeper's panicked voice:

"Master, something is not right! Something big has happened!"

Such beatings made the door bang. The Tianshui County magistrate couldn't sleep anymore. He couldn't help but lift the quilt, turned over and sat up, and yelled unhappily: "What's the matter!?"

"Qin Army...Qin Army is coming to kill..."

"Nonsense! How could the Qin army appear in Tianshui!"

"Oh, sir! It's true! Now the county government has been surrounded by heavy troops!"

"What!?" After hearing this, the Tianshui County Magistrate finally couldn't sit still. He put on his clothes in a panic. As soon as he opened the door, there were already chaotic footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yi led a large number of Qin troops and walked over quickly.

Seeing this scene, the housekeeper was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. The Tianshui County Magistrate pointed at the menacing Su Yi and said in a trembling voice: "You... you..."

"I'm sorry for disturbing the county magistrate's rest." Su Yi stood in front of him, stared at him coldly and said, "Now, we are very hungry."

Yes, these 30,000 Qin troops have already eaten all their dry food, and all of them have dirty faces.

But the Tianshui County Magistrate was obviously still in shock. He stammered: "But...but..."

But before he finished speaking, the general had already drawn out half of his sword and stared at him: "Huh!?"

"Ah!?" Upon seeing this, the Tianshui County Magistrate first screamed in surprise, and then said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'll go get ready right now..."

"Open all the granaries in the treasury!"

"Yes Yes……"

With so many Qin troops, how could the county magistrate dare to say no?

On the other side, Tongguan.

This is one of the most important passes in the empire. It is uniquely endowed with natural resources and can guard the main roads.

And because it is a pass, there are 20,000 defenders. Xiao Yuan has been attacking for several days. Although the pass has not been broken, it is almost there.

At this time, the generals had not rested yet, and were all discussing the attack on the city tomorrow in the Chinese army's tent.

Detailed news from the center of Shu has been sent back. Xiao Yuan said: "To break through Tongguan, we can only attack Tongguan by force. At this moment, according to our army's intelligence, the Lord of Shu, Huang Songyuan, has ordered General Lian Xiao to lead 100,000 troops to support Tongguan.

"

"Therefore, our army must break through the barrier before Lian Xiao arrives! Otherwise, it will be impossible to advance into Shu."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Chu again: "Can Lian Xiao find out something?"

"Back to my lord, according to the information currently available, Lian Xiao is a general in Sichuan. He is highly skilled in martial arts. Among the people of Sichuan and Shu, there has always been a rumor that one man is in charge and no one can stop him." Lin Chu said quickly.

"This is not enough. It is just superficial information. Let me continue to carry out activities." Xiao Yuan said directly.

"Yes!" Lin Chu responded first, then looked at Xiao Yuan cautiously, and said: "The humble position has turned his subordinates into big businessmen, lurking in Yizhou, making friends with local dignitaries, but... I just need some gold and silver.

support……"

Carrying out detailed espionage activities is very expensive. When Xiao Yuan heard this, he said without saying anything more: "Send me an official document later."

"Thank you, Lord!" Lin Chu beamed with joy. Of course, he wanted to develop the department he commanded into a stronger one and truly become a pair of eyes for the army.

When two armies are fighting, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Although he has never met Lian Xiao, understanding his strengths and weaknesses is a process that Xiao Yuan must follow.

The next day, the Qin army launched a strong attack on Tongguan again.

The guard general at this pass, named Cui Sheng, saw the Qin army approaching the city again. He grabbed a partial general, grabbed him by the collar, and asked sternly: "Are the reinforcements not here yet?"

"General...General, reinforcements are on the way. General Lian Xiao wants you to guard for two more days..."

"Oh! Two days! That's nice! Why doesn't he come and watch?" Cui Sheng was extremely anxious. He had already seen the ferocity of the Qin army in the previous sieges, and it was as if he was risking his life.

have to!

Fortunately, Tongguan is the most powerful pass in the world, otherwise, I am afraid it would have been breached long ago.

And today, he is destined to witness a more terrifying and sharp offensive.

Because Xiao Yuan has issued a military order and will not withdraw his troops until Tongguan is breached today!

On the large plain outside the city gate, the Qin army formed several square formations. Looking from a distance, it was all black, with the red tassels on the helmets of the soldiers dotted among them, dancing in the wind.

The flags are flying, and the halberds are like a forest.

The whole scene was full of chilling atmosphere.

Rows of trebuchets were pushed forward, mixed with various large siege equipment.

Xiao Yuan slowly drew out the war sword from his waist.

"My lord has an order! Prepare to attack the city——"

Some generals began to ride back and forth on their war horses.

"Arrow Array!"

Wow! Wow!

In just a moment, all the Qin soldiers in the front row raised their bows and arrows and pointed diagonally upward.

The large army-breaking crossbow machine was pulled apart by the combined efforts of the people, and there were thick crossbow arrows on it.

"put!"

With the command, as the commander's flag wavered, and with a buzzing sound, all the soldiers loosened their bowstrings, and sharp arrows shot rapidly, gathering into one, and dense black spots formed a black cloud, sweeping up and pressing on the city!

This is a very scary scene.

The vast coverage and scale of its arrow array exceeded Cui Sheng's knowledge.

Seeing the black clouds looming over the city, his eyes widened in horror: "What is that!? What is that!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow array had arrived! It was coming towards you!

Countless eagle feathers were struck all over the city gates, driven into the arrow stacks, shattering the tiles of the city tower, and turning each Shu army into a hedgehog...

There were crackling sounds from time to time, mixed with the sound of arrows piercing flesh.

The miserable howls also come and go.

"Avoid! Be careful to avoid! Don't show your head——"

Cui Sheng held on to his crooked helmet, shouted repeatedly, and hid behind an arrow stack while leaning forward.

"Qin Army Arrow Array! This is Qin Army Arrow Array! How is this possible!"

He screamed in horror, his face full of disbelief.

His side general was not far from him. He was also suppressed and did not dare to show his head. He also shouted in panic: "General! The Qin army is about to attack the city. What should we do now..."

As soon as he finished speaking, another round of arrows struck.

Plop, plop!

Every place in the city gate was covered with eagle feathers, and many Shu troops who were hiding their heads were shot dead on the spot.
Chapter completed!
