The war began and ended without more than an hour.

In the Battle of Tankou, the Qin army annihilated 10,000 enemies and captured 40,000 prisoners, and did not let the Qi army escape, but were chased back by the iron cavalry of the Ningta Legion, while the Qin army suffered only more than 80 people.

At the same time、Shu River!

There are three checkpoints on the border between the Yue Dynasty and the Shu Dynasty, the three checkpoints are divided into upper, middle and lower, the upper pass is the Shu River, the middle pass is Shu Mountain, the lower pass is Shuxia, and the three major Yue Shu checkpoints are all important places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially the Shu River!

The Shu River was originally a vast river, but it has dried up and turned into a vast and flat riverbed, the riverbed is high in the west and low in the east, Shu is in the west, and the moon is in the east.

Even if the army successfully rushes to the west bank, there is a large valley on the west bank, the big valley is concave, two high and one low, if you want to pass through the big valley, you can only go through the middle valley to enter, and the enemy will set up troops and horses at the two high places, whether it is to shoot arrows or throw boulders, you can smash the underestimated army without dead ends.

The Shu Dynasty also built a fortress at the entrance of the Great Valley, which made it even more impregnable!

"Boom-"

"Boom—"

At this time, the sound of violent explosions on the west bank of the Shu River was endless, and the people of the Shu army on the west bank were turned on their backs, and on the dry riverbed thousands of steps east of the west bank, two hundred ugly ox artillery pieces were lined up in five rows, constantly roaring at the west bank and the fortress of the Great Valley.

On the east bank, 300,000 black armor troops looked at each other across the bank, under the banner of the Chinese army, Yang Zhong, the general of the left, rode on a war horse to watch the situation on the west bank, and saw that the Shu army on the west bank was instantly defeated, Yang Zhong was full of emotion, full of awe of this ugly bull-style artillery.

Before the Yanshui army was evacuated from the battlefield of the Southern Wei Dynasty, he did not know the existence of the Ugly Ox artillery, nor did he know that his Yanshui Battalion was also divided into ten directly subordinate artillery battalions.

After the 30,000 Yanshui army took a vacation and replenished 70,000 troops, he returned to the Yanshui camp with the 100,000 Yanshui battalion reorganized army.

Therefore, after the expansion of the army to 300,000, that is, on April 1, he led the 300,000 troops of the Yanshui battalion and ten directly subordinate artillery battalions to the Shu River.

The Shu Dynasty may not know that the Great Qin attacked Shu, so the Shu River only has 50,000 troops, originally Yang Zhong thought that the Shu army would flee in embarrassment when he saw the Qin army, and there was no need to use artillery at all.

The west bank belongs to the high ground, if the Qin army launches a strong attack, compared to a siege, the Shu army can condescendingly shoot the Qin army, and even dive to kill the Qin army, Yang Zhong for the sake of insurance, but also in order to see the ability of the ugly cow artillery to kill the enemy, under the riverbed a thousand steps away from the west bank, ten directly subordinate artillery battalions were arranged!

That is why there is a scene of indiscriminate bombardment in the West Bank.

"Boom—"

"Help!"

"Run!"

"The Qin army has the help of heaven and thunder, withdraw! Remove! ”

"Retreat to the valley!"

"Retreat!"

The Shu army on the west bank was terrified, shouting miserably in the sound of artillery fire, watching their comrades being blown into pieces of meat without warning, the morale of the Shu army was completely lost, the fighting spirit was completely lost, and there was only endless fear in their hearts.

Under the continuous shelling of the Qin army's artillery positions to the west bank, most of the 30,000 crossbowmen laid by the Shu army general on the west bank were killed and wounded, and the placed crossbows were also blown into sawdust.

The West Bank, lost!

The situation on the west bank was seen by Yang Zhong, and he didn't have time to shock him with the power of the artillery, so he immediately waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Charge with foot soldiers, take the west bank, remember, only take the west bank, not the valley, stand by outside the valley, and the cavalry stay on standby!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The right general Yang Yi and the lieutenant general Yang Wu responded one after another.

Soon, in front of the military order, the 250,000 soldiers of the Qin army rushed down the riverbed in one go, crossed the artillery position and killed the west bank, the artillery position immediately stopped firing, and the artillery began to prepare to move the artillery position.

The artillerymen knew very well that at this distance, they could only hit the fortress of the Great Valley, and could not carry out a covering bombardment of the interior of the Great Valley, and when the Great Army took the west bank, they would definitely have to move the artillery positions forward, and the closer they were to the Great Valley, the greater the range of artillery in the Great Valley.

"Kill!!"

"The Qin army is mighty!"

The outrageous shouts rang out, and the riverbed was full of dense Qin troops, which made the Shu army frightened.

Just when the Qin army began to attack the west bank, on a rock at the top of the big valley, a veteran in blue armor looked at the tragic scene in front of him in amazement, this veteran is the Shu River guard general Du Qi, a member of the Shu royal family, the official worship is the second grade Tianhe general, and the uncle of the Shu Emperor Du Xiao.

Du Qi was completely stupid, the heavy troops deployed on the west bank were easily defeated by the Qin army, and in less than half a pillar of incense, 30,000 defenders on the west bank fled to death, and the defensive strength became zero.

Du Qi is also a veteran, he is not completely dead, wise, he guessed at once that the heavenly thunder in the mouth of the soldier is the behemoth placed by the Qin army on the riverbed, although I don't know what that thing is called, anyway, this must be the new equipment of the Qin army.

"Pass the old man's military order, the whole army climbs to a high point, be sure to withstand the offensive of the Qin army, and the Shu River must not be lost!" Du Qi ordered loudly with a solemn expression!

Even though the enemy was outnumbered and the west bank was lost, Du Qi still didn't think that the Qin army would be able to conquer the Great Valley, and really thought that the topography of Shu was a joke?

"The general has an order, and the whole army will climb to the heights!"

"Hurry up!"

Ordered, the Shu army at the high point on both sides of the valley shouted loudly at the remnants of the west bank who fled into the valley, and the remnants of the west bank heard these words, and began to climb the valley one after another, climbing the high points on both sides, the valley is not easy to climb, and if it were someone else, ten people might be able to barely climb up.

But the Shu army is the master of this area, and the art of climbing mountains and rocks has long been proficient, and it is not difficult for them to climb the high points on both sides of the valley.

Just when the remnants of the army on the west bank climbed the cliff in the valley, the soldiers of the Qin army climbed the west bank one after another, and soon controlled the west bank, the west bank is relatively broad, there are more than 500 steps before and after the open area, after landing on the west bank, the fortresses of the big valley are also presented in the eyes of the soldiers of the Qin army.
