The coalition fought first on the plains, then in battle, and now they have to fight a tough battle.

The battle of fortification, which is to conquer the enemy's fortified fortifications and cities, is also the most difficult.

When Xiang Ge heard this, he couldn't help but say: "The art of war is cloudy, the upper army is strategic, and the lower strategy is to attack the city, and today's Shanyuguan is different from the past, not only has 100,000 Qin troops, but also has a perfect defense, if you fight a tough battle, I think it is not appropriate." ”

When he said this, he was actually afraid that Ren Ying, in the name of the commander of the coalition army, would ask the Huan army to attack again, and then the Huan soldiers would have to spill blood on the city.

After hearing this, Ren Ying shook his head slightly, looked at Xiang Ge and said, "That brother Xiang thinks that there are any other good ways now?" If the Qin army sticks to the barrier and does not come out, we will have to fight a tough battle, so this mountain pass will have to be attacked sooner or later. ”

"This ......" Xiang Ge was a little speechless, and couldn't help but glance at Han Zhou.

Han Zhou, like Xiang Ge, was also afraid that Ren Ying would let the Chu army attack the city again, although the two were sarcastic to each other, but in this matter, they must be standing together, and couldn't help but say: "It's okay to fight a tough battle, but my Chu army and Huan army have both faced the Qin army, now, isn't it time for Brother Ren to go out?" ”

"Yes, Brother Ren is the commander of the coalition army, and in the empire, he has already been listed as a famous general, and his reputation is far and wide, if he leads the Jin army to attack the city, he will be able to conquer the mountain pass in one fell swoop." Xiang Ge hurriedly followed.

"Alright, you don't have to put a high hat on me." Ren Ying shook his head with a wry smile and said, "In this case, this battle should be fought by my Jin army." ”

"Brother Ren will win." The two hugged their fists in unison.

On the other side, inside the mountain valley pass.

The Chu army was defeated and retreated, and the Qin army returned to the pass, and Lian Xiao also walked quickly and returned to Xiao Yuan.

At this time, he can be said to be covered in blood, and his originally resolute cheeks were also stained with a lot of blood, and there were many scars on his armor.

Seeing Xiao Yuan, Lian Xiao immediately knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "Lord, the last general will not fail in his mission!" ”

"General, get up." Xiao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and personally helped him up, and couldn't help but praise: "In this battle, the general bravely crowned the three armies, and for Qin, he made a great contribution!" ”

As he spoke, he also glanced Lian Xiao up and down, and when he saw the scars on his armor, he couldn't help but ask nervously, "Is the general injured?" ”

"Some minor injuries, out of the way." As the lord, his concern made Lian Xiao smile comfortably.

But when Xiao Yuan heard this, he hurriedly said: "How can the war wound not be treated, quickly!" Pass on the military doctor! ”

On the Qin army's side, Xiao Yuan was not carried away by the victory in the two battles, and was still ready for battle, he knew that Huan Chu had attacked, and next, I was afraid that the Jin army was going into battle.

Two days later, Ren Ying led a Jin army of 100,000 soldiers to the city.

This time, instead of provoking the battle like the previous two times, the army approached the city and made a siege posture.

The army of 100,000 was lined up into several phalanxes, overwhelming, looking down from the city pass, it was endless, and there was no end in sight.

Ren Ying was in a handsome position, and under his order, for a while, more than a dozen Jin army foot soldiers began to work together to push the rushing cart to the front, and countless soldiers carried cloud ladders and made all the pre-battle preparations.

Looking at this posture, Xiao Yuan Zhengse in the center of the city head said: "It seems that the Jin army is preparing to storm Shanyu Pass. ”

"Attacking the fortified is the war that the soldiers of my Qin army are best at, although the scale of the Jin army is large, but if you want to attack Shanyu Pass, you have to pay the price of blood!" Zhao Mu said.

"That's right, in this battle, you must give the Jin army a head-on blow! Don't say a step! Don't give in even a step! Xiao Yuan said in a shocking voice.

As he spoke, he also directly drew out his sword: "All soldiers, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

In the bitter cold land, there are more strong soldiers, if you talk about the courage of the soldiers below, the Qin people have always been martial, Ren Ying has never fought with the Qin army, and I don't know how fierce it is.

Now that the siege is approaching and everything is ready, Ren Ying also got up from the chariot, slowly drew the sword at his waist, and then pointed forward:

"Siege!"

"Ren Shuai has an order! The whole army is besieging the city—"

As the military order was issued and the war drums were beating, the Jin army began to launch the first wave of charges.

On the great plain outside the city pass, the dust was flying, and countless soldiers, densely packed, like ants, swarmed towards the mountain pass.

The distance between the two sides quickly shortened, Xiao Yuan didn't say a word, and directly waved his hand and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

Following his order, the Qin soldiers in the city raised their bows and arrows one after another, aimed at the city, and launched a volley.

Arrows rained down, and many Jin troops were shot by stray arrows in the process of charging and fell to the ground miserably, but this did not stop their charge.

Soon, the Jin crossbowmen below also drew their bows and arrows after reaching the distance, and launched a return fire.

The rain of arrows on both sides shuttled back and forth in the sky, and the soldiers of the Qin army also fell down the city wall from time to time with arrows.

In the midst of the chaotic arrows, it didn't take long for the Jin army in the front row to arrive at the city, and then, there were ladders one after another, which were erected all over the city wall, and the Jin soldiers began to use their hands and feet together, climbing up frantically.

The huge siege engine was also pushed to the city gate, and under the protection of countless heavy shields, it launched a violent impact on the city gate.

The stones and logs were thrown down by the soldiers of the Qin army in pairs.

On the ladders one after another, every moment, there were Jin soldiers who were smashed and fell, letting out a terrible howl.

The soldiers on both sides began to spill blood on the city pass.

An hour after the battle, under the city walls, there was already a river of blood and piles of corpses.

Although the Jin army attacked fiercely, in the face of the brave and warlike Qin army, let alone the first step in attacking the city, even half a step could not go up.

Ren Ying sat in the rear, looking at the overall situation, at this time, his brows were already deeply furrowed, and he couldn't help but say:

"The courage of the Qin army, the fierce resistance, beyond the accident, no wonder the two armies of Huan and Chu will be defeated, if this battle continues, our soldiers will not only not be able to attack the city, but also I don't know how many people will be killed and wounded."

Hearing this, his lieutenant general hurriedly said: "Ren Shuai, since this is the case, in the opinion of the last general, it is better to retreat first, and then it is not too late to find a strategy." ”

"Well, give the order to retire." Ren Ying didn't hesitate at all, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to personally observe the combat strength of the Qin army because the two armies of Huan and Chu were defeated.

This siege was only a tentative attack, and his original intention was not a real attack.

Under his military order, the Jin army said that it would withdraw, which came quickly and went faster.

And when he returned to the coalition camp and learned the result, although Xiang Ge and Han Zhou didn't say anything, when the two came out of the Chinese army's tent, they came together by accident.

"He Ren Ying relied on himself as the commander of the coalition army, first let you and my two armies fight with the Qin army, and when it came to his Jin army, the battle, but it was only fought for an hour, and the troops were hastily withdrawn, what does he mean?"
