When the news of the three hundred head trees outside Taiyuan City reached Donghuluchuan, Ren Liang was shocked and then realized that his situation was getting worse and worse.

He knew that the Qin and he were all thieves, but they were just wearing a layer of official skin and would sooner or later rebel.

Unexpectedly, the Qin surnamed turned so quickly and was so cruel that he directly hung the heads of the third-rank officials and 300 officers and soldiers outside Taiyuan City.

Such high-profile behavior will inevitably attract fierce counterattacks from officers and soldiers. It won’t take long for the imperial army to come to Loufan.

He didn't know if the Qin surname could defend it, he only knew that he was in trouble.

Before going to war with the officers and soldiers, the Qin surnamed would definitely take three cliffs and East Huluchuan to sacrifice their knives to eliminate the troubles in the south.

The Qin surname is no longer the same as before. Now he has many firearms. Loufan has tried guns and cannons every few days, and the sound of cannons can reach Tieshigou Mountain from afar.

Although the Great Village in Donghuluchuan is steep, the walls erected with logs cannot resist artillery. If the opponent has more than ten artillery pieces, the walls will definitely collapse if they only need to be bombarded for one day.

Realizing that something was wrong, Ren Liang hurriedly strengthened the sentry and reinforced the defense facilities, and ran to the bottom of the three cliffs to find Wang Gangbaowu to discuss countermeasures.

Wang Gangbaowu was very happy and drank in the mountain village to celebrate.

In their opinion, if a person surnamed Qin provokes the court, he will definitely be destroyed soon.

Once this serious problem is eliminated, they can rest assured. The three cliffs are in a dangerous position, so the officers and soldiers are too lazy to come to find their bad luck.

When Ren Liang came to them to discuss countermeasures, the two of them didn't agree.

They had seen the artillery of the Ming army. The tiger squat cannons were used to fight scatters and kill and charge the enemy at close range. The Fran machine cannon could be slightly farther away, but the solid cannon was very small and could not cause any storm.

The red cannons are very powerful, but the three cliffs are steep and the red cannons with a thousand kilograms cannot be transported at all.

At most, the Qin surnamed brought a few tiger squat cannons and small Francs, which did not pose a threat to the three cliffs.

As long as they can last ten days and half a month, when the imperial army arrives, the Qin surname will retreat.

After seeing the attitudes of these two people, Ren Liang knew that these two idiots were completely unreliable.

He could only pray for the imperial army to arrive soon.

...

On February 27th, Ren Liang did not receive any news that the imperial army went south, but he waited for a man surnamed Qin.

According to the spy's report, the Qin surnamed Qin led about 600 people, transported a few small cannons, and had already crossed Tieshigou Mountain and headed towards three cliffs.

Ren Liang immediately ordered all his troops and waited quietly on the east bank of the Donghuluchuan River.

If he had the chance, he would immediately kill him and attack the Qin surnamed on both sides of the three cliffs.

Compared to Ren Liang's nervousness, Wang Gangbaowu was not panicked at all after learning the news.

Although the last time when the Guandi Army pursued Jiannu, Wang Gangbao was in a bad situation, and led his troops to set up an ambush and was killed by the opponent, so that there were fewer than 500 soldiers who could fight under their subordinates.

But the three cliffs had already prepared countless stones and rolling wood, and even two or three thousand people came, they could not even attack them.

After receiving the news that Ren Liang led his troops down the mountain, Qin Chuan asked Luo Daniu to continue to lead the camp to the three cliffs, while he only brought one hundred red-robed servants to Donghuluchuan.

Seeing that Qin Chuan only brought some people, Ren Liang did not kill him, but just waited quietly by the river.

"Let's lead, don't be fine." Qin Chuan smiled through the river.

Ren Liang clasped his fists and replied: "Mr. Qin is fine."

"Ren's head of the family, Qin said it clearly. Qin has already argued with the court. It won't take long to fight with the imperial army. At this critical moment, Qin must take three cliffs and the East Huluchuan."

"Ren Dang's family, Qin is a talent-loving person. When Qin takes Donghuluchuan, I hope Ren Dang's family can think about your brothers, so as not to dye Qin's hands more blood."

Hearing his words, Ren Liang smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Qin, but Lord Qin is already in danger of protecting himself. Ren dares not get on this small boat that can overturn at any time."

"Hahahaha, after getting on the boat, Ren Tang's and Donghuluchuan things still have a glimmer of hope, but if you don't go, you will die without life."

"Ren, please think carefully. Qin has something to do, so he won't be with him."

As he said that, Qin Chuan pulled the reins of the horse and left slowly with his red-clothed servant.

Ren Liang frowned slightly, staring at his back, but he didn't look away for a long time.

...

The so-called three cliffs are three towering peaks. The village of Wang Gangbao and Wu and others is built on the main peak in the middle.

Wang Gangbao retreated all the people from all the towers along the way, intending to consolidate -->>

If you guard the main peak Dazhai, as long as you keep it for ten days and half a month, the Qin surname will retreat.

The Guandi Army encountered no resistance and arrived at the main peak unimpeded.

The terrain of the three cliffs is not complicated, but it is better than the word "danger".

Wang Gangbaowu’s big village is built on the top of the main peak mountain with cliffs on three sides, and only one steep slope can be used to climb up and down the village.

The steep slope is only about two hundred steps long, but it is very steep and difficult to walk. Moreover, the trees on the slope have been cut completely, and the snow has been stepped into snow water, mixing with the soil, making the entire hillside muddy.

Now, countless stones and rolling wood are piled up on the slope. Wang Gangbaowu led three or four hundred subordinates to stand on the slope, tilting his head to look at the Guandi Army under the slope.

Qin Chuan carefully checked the steep slope and the mountain village, then rode his horse forward, shouting to the slope: "Wang Gangbaowu, I will give you two a chance to go down the mountain to surrender, and I can spare you all the time."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wang Gang on the mountain raised his head and laughed: "Qin Chuan, you are still in verbal words. Grandpa, I advise you to go back obediently and wait for the imperial army to wipe out your Loufan."

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "You have to think about it."

"Ha, stop talking nonsense. Even if you can hit me, I will kneel down and kowtow to you."

"good."

Qin Chuan nodded, then rode his horse back.

Not long after, the Guandi Army began to move one after another. Some of them moved out the wooden boards transported with the army, knocking and cobbled together something, some of them went to cut trees not far away, and some of them set up formations to prevent Wang Gang Baowu's men from rushing down suddenly.

The spy had figured out the terrain of the three cliffs very early, and Qin Chuan also knew that the most important thing to hit the three cliffs was this steep slope, so he had figured out a solution early.

In fact, it is not a good idea, because there is no skill to take advantage of this kind of tough battle, so you can only push it forward.

The steep slope was about two hundred steps long, and the tiger squat cannon and small Franc aircraft he brought had a range of only 120 to thirty steps. It could not be that far. It could only be allowed to push the musketeer up and use a flintlock rifle to suppress the enemy above, so that it could be possible to attack.

But hardtops can be made with the help of equipment.

Seeing that the Guandi Army was building equipment, Wang Gangbaowu on the mountain couldn't help but laugh.

In their opinion, no matter how thick a large shield is, it will be overturned by stones, and the large shield cart cannot reach the steep slope. What else can anyone named Qin make?

After most of the hour, they couldn't laugh.

Because they saw clearly the equipment surnamed Qin.

It was a very strange shield car, in a herringbone shape, with a sharp front end like an arrow, and a covered iron sheet. The wooden boards on both sides were obliquely tilted backwards. The log at the bottom was inlaid with dense iron nails, about half a foot long. When placed on the ground, it could be firmly pierced into the mud to fix the big shield. There were four thorns on the inside and at the end of the big shield, which could also be pierced into the mud to fix and withstand the impact of rocks and rolling wood.

The middle of the shield is empty, and the widest part is about three feet long, and it can accommodate about seven or eight people inside. There are several holes in the baffle on both sides of the shield, which can be used to look out and fire guns into the mountain through the holes.

Seeing these shield cars, Wang Gangbaowu's face became very serious, and the four or five hundred people under his command became disturbed in uneasy.

They all saw that this kind of shield car can unload its force. Whether it is rock or rolling wood, it will slide to both sides when hitting this kind of shield car, causing no big impact. The iron nails at the bottom of the shield car and the four feet can firmly fix the shield car on the steep slope and move up step by step.

Now, the group of people named Qin has formed twenty shield cars, enough to send more than 100 troops to the steep slope.

"What are you afraid of? No matter how exquisite their shield car is, it is made of wood. Just smash more stones and smash them all."

Seeing that his subordinates began to panic, Wang Gang pretended to be calm and said lightly.

His words worked, and his originally turbulent subordinates gradually calmed down.

At this time, the Guandi Army at the foot of the mountain began to complete a team. Every three musketeers were equipped with four waist knives and hands into the shield car, and then lifted the shield car about half a foot away from the ground, shouting horns and advancing step by step towards the steep slope.

Among them, two shield cars were equipped with not musketeers, but a tiger squat cannon and two gunners.

Qin Chuan sat firmly on a tree stump, staring at the twenty shield cars that were slowly moving like snails.

This inverted V-shaped shield car is stronger and firmer than the one on the surface, because not only does it use silver fir wood, but there are also many iron buckles connected inside.

I have been tested many times before coming here. When the rock rolled down at high speed hits the shield car, it will quickly slide to both sides. The baffle on the side can remove the impact of the rock and reduce the damage to the shield car.

Of course, if it is a big stone weighing hundreds of kilograms, it will definitely not be able to withstand it, but a big stone weighing hundreds of kilograms is not so easy to move. The stones prepared by Wang Gangbaowu are not even more than fifty kilograms.
