The competition for Tianjiaping Fortress reached a white-hot level in a very short time. After all, Gouxin was from a famous family and a noble family. He made the most correct decision. Within a short time when the Han army launched an attack, he knew the situation he was facing. If the other party was allowed to fight like this, soon, the city wall he wanted to rely on would be completely defeated by his opponent, and it would also cause a serious blow to his soldiers. The only chance of victory was

It was fighting with the opponent, making the opponent's most powerful weapon unable to exert its power. After sending a team of soldiers to try to kill the opponent's engineers and successfully attract the opponent, he immediately abandoned the soldiers who left the city, closed the city gates, used crossbows on the city, or threw stone bombs with catapults to cause damage to the enemy. Once the opponent retreated, he immediately sent soldiers to pursue him, thus attracting the opponent back and repeatedly suppressing them.

Although Jiang Fu fought many battles, it was the first time he was a battalion-level commander to command such a battle. After being caught by the letter, he suffered a great loss and suffered a lot of losses after several consecutive attacks. However, this also stimulated Jiang Fu's bloodiness in his bones.

Seeing that although his subordinates killed all the Qin soldiers who rushed out of the city, the covered shooting on the city also made his subordinates lie down under the city, Jiang Fu's eyes turned red.

"Architecture, three-wheeled volley. Guard platoon, follow me." He shouted loudly.

Amid the roar of artillery, Jiang Fu jumped out of the position with a big knife in his hand and ran forward. The shells on his head were flying, and Jiang Fu was running wildly on the ground. With the loud noise, gravel splashed on the top of the city, and another battlement was smashed. Jiang Fu had already rushed to the city.

"Cloud Ladder" he roared.

With a bang, a ladder stood up and leaned against the exploded gap on the wall. Jiang Fu held the knife in his mouth, used his hands and feet, and climbed up quickly.

Two push rods on the city pressed the top of the ladder. He tried his best to push the ladder away. The Han army under the city held the ladder tightly. The Qin army leaned out, and the arrows shot down the soldiers on their heads like rain. At such a distance, even if they were wearing armor, they could not resist the attack of the arrows. Several soldiers were shot like hedgehogs, and blood soaked their armor and flowed all the way to the ground along their bodies. But as long as they had a breath, the soldiers grabbed the ladder tightly with their hands and hung them on the ladder with the weight of their bodies, so as not to be pushed open.

The second round of artillery shell shooting was still at the same position just now. The ladder that was pushed away fell back with a bang. The broken arms and limbs of Qin soldiers were flying above the city. Jiang Fu had already climbed to the top of the ladder. His head was exposed from the gap. At first glance, he saw more than a dozen Qin soldiers were getting up from the ground and roaring towards his position.

Jiang Fu himself was also shocked by the explosion of the cannon just now, making his mind buzzing. His hands and feet were extremely sore and soft. He climbed up the city wall with great effort. He took out a grenade from his arms and lit the leads with a pile of burning fires beside him. After waiting for a while, he threw the grenade out.

With a roar, more than a dozen Qin soldiers who rushed up to try to block the gap were immediately plunged into a pool of blood.

Rolling from the wall to the inside, Jiang Fu finally regained some strength, roared, and rushed towards the Qin army in front of him, behind him. Han army one after another climbed up. Behind him, more than a dozen Han army gathered in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the city wall was broken through, Gou Xin was shocked. As long as the city wall was broken through, if the hole was not quickly blocked, even if the long dike of a thousand miles could be destroyed, it would be a thousand-mile long dike that could also collapse into an ant hole.

"Come with me and kill the Han dog." He shouted loudly and rushed towards Jiang Fu's place. Behind him, hundreds of Qin soldiers rushed over, all of whom were veterans, and they knew the priorities.

The third round of artillery began to sound again, but this time the bounce point was tens of meters on both sides of the city wall that had just broken through. With the roar, Gou Xin felt dizzy, his legs were weak, and he suddenly fell to the ground. On the ground, he turned his head hard. The shell just now fell into the Qin army group behind him, causing huge damage. The rotating and hot fireball took countless lives away in an instant.

The Qin army on the city was stunned by such attacks. In a moment, more Han troops had already broken up on the city wall.

Jiang Fu turned around, looked at the still smokey artillery position, and praised loudly: "It's so great. If this gun is hit a little more wrong, I will go to see King Yama. Let's go back and ask you for me."

Getting up from the ground, the power of the explosion still made him dizzy, but he still rushed towards the nearest Qin soldier with self-reliance.

"Kill" Jiang Fu roared angrily: "Brother Crab, see if my brother avenges you."

The city was killed in the city, and the city gate was blown up by Han army engineers. More Han soldiers rushed in. Gou Xin looked at his fortress in despair. From the war to the present, in less than an hour, the once seemingly solid Fortress Tianjiaping was about to be lost.

"General, leave quickly, otherwise you won't be able to leave." His personal soldiers dragged the lost letter and left in a deserted manner.

The war started in the early morning, and it was not until noon. The battlefield had recovered from peace. Tianjiaping Fortress was no longer like it. There were cracks everywhere, broken walls and ruins, which were shocking. The soldiers began to clean the battlefield, but Jiang Fu walked to the cannon, stroked the cannon body that still had its warmth, and murmured: "With you, the war will be very different in the future."

The emergence of artillery has indeed made the city's offensive and defense no longer a natural barrier.

Lu Bincheng, one messenger after another rushed into Xu Yahua's general's yamen. From this morning, the Han army began to enter. By noon, the first bad news came that Tian Jiaping Fortress was lost. Tian Jiaping was lost. Xiyangping and Huang Shiping must not be able to defend. Sure enough, less than half an hour after Tian Jiaping lost, the other two fortresses were all lost. The Third Division of the 20th Army of the Han Army was passing through the war zone and quickly rushed towards Lu Bin.

"In half a day, half a day, all the three fortresses stationed by the five thousand soldiers were lost." Xu Yahua held his hands on the edge of the sand table, looking at the miniature model of the Lubin Fortress defense area in front of him. After taking it to the three small cities of Tianjiaping, Xiyangping and Huangshiping, there was no longer any danger before Lubin Fortress area.

"General Xu, the number of soldiers who fled back from the front line is increasing. At present, about 1,500 people have been collected. The subordinates have found the officers among them. They all mentioned that the Han army has a new weapon. The city walls are irresistible in front of this weapon. Once the explosion occurs, they collapse in large quantities." Deputy General Qian Shouyi said worriedly.

"New weapon?" Xu Yahua turned his head. Over the years, he has never been able to find out new things in the Han Dynasty. He was already a little numb, but it was a bit unusual for the Qin army officers from all over the world to mention this weapon.

Qian Shouyi took out a few pieces of paper and placed it in front of Xu Yahua. "According to the descriptions of those officers and some soldiers, his subordinates drew a rough look of this thing. He must have been driven by gunpowder. When the explosion occurred, a large amount of smoke was generated and sent an iron ball of about ten kilograms to the city, causing a large amount of damage to the soldiers on our city walls."

Looking at the things on the picture, Xu Yahua sighed slightly. "Are you in a hurry to Hangu Pass?"

"The messenger set out early in the morning, and now the second wave has left. I didn't expect that we could not keep it for a day in Tianjiaping and other places." Qian Shouyi sighed, and the worry in his eyes was extremely obvious. Although Lubin City is much taller and more solid than the fortresses such as Tianjiaping and later built, can it really be kept?

"There must be difficulties in defending." Xu Yahua looked at the sand table, "The opponent has such a powerful siege weapon. If we can't hide, we can only be beaten passively."

"What does the general mean?"

"The Han army must have never expected that we are not busy strengthening the city walls and preparing for defense now, but instead go against the rules to attack and seek field battles. Shouyi, if you lead 5,000 people to attack, I will give you all 2,000 cavalry in our headquarters. We must kill the opponent's mighty power. The Han army is strong, but we Qin people are not easy to mess with. Only with attack can we defend." Xu Yahua looked at Qian Shouyi with bright eyes.

"I will obey the order." Qian Shouyi answered his order loudly, turned around and walked out with great strides.

At Hangu Pass, several messengers arrived almost one after another. The first letter Lu Chao saw was the Han army's attack, but the second letter was that Tian Jiaping and other places were lost, and the Lubin Fortress area was exposed before the attack surface of the Han army.

"It's coming so fast." Lu Chao said in a lost voice. It was less than two days after Gao Yuan arrived in Jinyang, and the Han army's attack had already begun, which caught Lu Chao off guard.

When Lu Bin loses, Hangu Pass will face it directly. This is something Lu Chao doesn't want to see, but he wants to reinforce, but his focus is not here. The other end of Xianyang and other parts of Qin have already begun to prepare closely. If troops are drawn to Lu Bin at this time, the previous preparations are likely to be wasted.

Gao Yuan, what do you want to do? Are you planning to really close the fire with me in Hangu? Lu Chao took a deep breath. The reason why he dared to do this was because Gao Yuan must have the intention of gaining profits, and he just wanted to use Gao Yuan's mind to get the chestnut in the fire and fight for a glimmer of life in the impossible.

But the attack and advancement launched by the Han army was too fast.

"General, Lubin has another envoy." A personal guard rushed in and shouted loudly.

"What? Could it be that Lu Bin has also lost his mind?" Lu Chao said in dismay.

"No, no, General Xu won the victory in Lubin and defeated the Third Division of the 20th Army of the Han Army. Now the Han army has been recovered." The personal guard shouted happily. To be continued.
