After two rounds of arrow formation, the Qin army began to stop shooting arrows.
Immediately afterwards, the trebuchets began to load stone bombs.
The sound of mechanical vibrations sounded one after another, and large rocks drew an arc in the air and hit various places in the city gate one after another.
boom! boom!
There were deafening sounds everywhere, and the entire city wall seemed to be shaking. Once it hit the crowd, there would be a miserable howl.
At this time, Cui Sheng no longer dared to stay and the city was closed. He quickly pushed the body away, jumped up, held his helmet and ran down.
"Hold it! Hold it all! The Qin army is about to attack the city! Get ready to fire arrows!"
He ran desperately to the bottom of the city, but he was still directing everyone.
The general is greedy for life and afraid of death, and the soldiers below have no morale at all. What's more, facing such a tiger and wolf force as the Qin army, the Tongguan Shu army has long been frightened.
Not long after, the exciting war drums sounded, mixed with the collective roar of the Qin army.
Under the city gate, dust is flying.
The Qin army's infantry began to swarm towards the city gate.
The huge siege vehicle was pushed to the city gate and began to violently impact.
A series of ladders covered the entire city wall.
Up there, there were a series of Qin troops climbing crazily.
Stones and rolling wood began to be thrown down from the city by the Shu army.
Arrows from both sides shot back and forth in the sky, and from time to time someone screamed and fell off the city wall.
Qin has always been despised by all the countries in the world as a barbaric land.
The people of Qin have always been ridiculed as barbarians.
The world is humble to Qin.
The Qin army that came out of this bitter cold land was absolutely terrifying in terms of combat power.
Especially this kind of siege battle with the bravery of the soldiers.
The bravery of the Qin army's officers and men can be called tigers and wolves.
Under this sharp and ferocious offensive, after two hours of fighting, the Shu army finally could no longer withstand it.
And the general Cui Sheng was even more afraid that the Qin army would break through and it would be difficult for him to escape. Therefore, without saying a word, he shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Following his order, the Shu army began to shrink across the board, regardless of the city defense, and rushed down.
After retreating, the Qin army followed the ladder and fully occupied the city head. Immediately afterwards, the city gate was also announced to have been breached, and Tongguan was completely lost.
Cui Sheng, on the other hand, took thousands of remaining soldiers and fled without looking back.
Xiao Yuan immediately ordered, with Gao Sachs as the front army, leading 20,000 troops to pursue along the way and take advantage of the situation to capture Shicheng in Tongguan.
"Remember, Lian Xiao's army is coming towards Tongguan now. Although you are chasing Cui Sheng, once you pass Shicheng, you can't go deeper!"
Before he left, Xiao Yuan warned uneasily: "After occupying Shicheng, you only need to hold on for two days. The main force of our army will arrive soon. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Goldman Sachs immediately clasped his fists and said, "Please don't worry, Lord!"
"Okay! Go quickly!"
"promise!"
The latter took the order and began to pursue along the way. Along the way, Cui Sheng abandoned his helmet and armor. In order to escape for his life, he threw his battle flags and weapons all over the ground.
Finally, when arriving at Shicheng, Goldman Sachs did not dare to disobey the military order. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and began to garrison troops, waiting for the main army to converge.
Once the Tongguan garrison was defeated, there was no strength in Shicheng. Therefore, Goldman Sachs occupied this place without any resistance.
Xiao Yuan ordered him to seize Shicheng quickly because he was afraid that Lian Xiao would arrive and use Shicheng as a springboard to recapture Tongguan.
On the other side, Lian Xiao's troops.
He led an army of 100,000 men from Shu and was already less than 30 miles away from Shicheng.
But at this moment, a spy hurried over, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "General! Cui Sheng is defeated and Tongguan is lost!"
"What!?" Lian Xiao's eyes widened when he heard this, and what followed immediately became angry and angry: "Cui Sheng is a loser! Twenty thousand troops were stationed at Tongguan, but they didn't even last five days!"
"General..." the spy swallowed: "In addition, Shicheng has also been occupied by the Qin army."
"Trash!" Lian Xiao was extremely angry and asked angrily: "Where is Cui Shengren!"
"We are... leading the remaining troops towards our army."
Upon hearing this, Lian Xiao shouted directly: "As soon as you see him, escort him here!"
In the evening of that day, Cui Sheng led the remaining defeated generals and joined Lian Xiao's troops.
After fleeing all the way, Cui Sheng finally saw his own army. Cui Sheng's heart dropped in his throat. He just breathed a sigh of relief and lay limply on the ground. Before he had a good rest, soldiers were already coming on horseback. , then turned over and dismounted, cupped his fists and saluted:
"General Cui, General Lian Xiao asked you to come over."
"Okay, okay..." Cui Sheng took a few breaths, not caring.
He was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he escaped from the battle. He thought that when he met his own army, he would have no worries anymore, but who knew that Lian Xiao was angry at the moment!
After arriving at the Chinese army's tent, Cui Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands with a shy smile and said, "Oh, General Lian, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Lian Xiao looked at him coldly.
Cui Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but then he laughed dryly and said: "Haha, if General Lian doesn't support me in this battle, my life will be at stake."
"Hmph!" Lian Xiao finally snorted coldly and scolded in a cold voice: "Cui Sheng! Let me ask you how many troops you still have!"
"There...there are still six thousand people left, what's wrong with General Lian." Cui Sheng didn't know why.
When he heard this, Lian Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Six thousand soldiers! They abandoned the city gate! Cui Sheng! If you are determined to hold on! How could you not hold on for a day!"
"This, this..." Cui Sheng said anxiously: "What the general doesn't know is that the Qin army, the Qin army is so brave. The soldiers attacked the city as if they were risking their lives! I...I I really can’t stand it anymore!”
"Shut up! You greedy and fearful villain! Tongguan is the most powerful pass in the world! Not to mention there are still 6,000 people, that is, 3,000 or 2,000. If they fight to the death, how can the Qin army attack them?" Lian Xiao shouted.
What he said is right. It is an absolute advantage to defend the pass with natural dangers.
Cui Sheng still wanted to explain.
But Lian Xiao once again said angrily: "Tongguan is so important! My general has sent you a letter, and reinforcements will arrive in two days, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death! You escaped before the battle! Causing the Qin army to enter Shu!"
He was furious, and after he finished cursing, he shouted again: "Come here!"
"Here!" A guard entered the tent.
"Take it!" Lian Xiao pointed directly at Cui Sheng.
"No!" The military order was issued, but the guards didn't care about the number of guards. They pulled Cui Sheng away, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Let's see who dares!" In the end, the latter raised his arms and bounced the guard away, and said in a loud voice:
"This general is my lord's nephew! Who dares to take me!"
The two guards immediately hesitated. They were standing there, whether they took action or not.
Other generals in the tent also said: "General, please calm down..."
Everyone knows, Huang Songyuan’s nephew, can he get it?
Seeing everyone like this, Cui Sheng couldn't help but raise his head, glanced at Lian Xiao and said: "Lian Xiao, I don't care who you are, if you dare to touch me, try it!"
Lian Xiao's face was gloomy.
When Cui Sheng saw this, he laughed out loud and continued: "What bullshit military order! Lian Xiao, who do you think you are..."
But before he finished speaking, Lian Xiao roared angrily, then unsheathed his sword and stood up!
