On the third day of the ninth month, twenty miles outside Ling'an Pass, the Qin army camped.

Liu Wei was reading the letter he had just sent from Xianyang, which had been sent from Xianyang three days ago and was written by Wu Anjun Bai Lang.

In the letter, Bai Lang wrote that the day of the breakthrough was today.

"General Bai is really clever!" Liu Wei praised softly, the situation of the battle predicted in Bai Lang's letter and the estimation of the situation in Ling'an Pass at this time coincided with Liu Wei, and he was also preparing to launch a full-scale offensive today and take Ling'an Pass in one fell swoop.

It is naturally not difficult for Liu Wei, who is on the battlefield, to make such a judgment, but Bai Lang, who is far away in Xianyang, is blocked by news, and he has made such an accurate judgment just by relying on the battle reports received from time to time, which is really powerful, and Liu Wei's admiration for Bai Lang in his heart has increased a few points.

The attack of alternating day and night in the past few days, as well as the surprise attack launched suddenly last night, have achieved very good results, and at this moment Ling'an Pass is seriously undermanpowered, as long as a general attack is launched, I believe that Ling'an Pass can be taken within an hour.

"Pass the order, 10,000 people stay in the camp, and the rest are ready, and they vow to take Ling'an Pass today!" Liu Wei said to the adjutant general.

After the adjutant general got the order, he walked out of the camp, and after a while, he heard the men and horses running up and down the camp, and the Qin soldiers immediately entered a state of readiness.

......

Ling'an Guanchengtou.

Lin Xinzi looked at the Qin soldiers who were pressed by the black outside the pass, his face was pale, he knew that the Qin soldiers were about to launch a general attack.

"Assign all the soldiers who are resting to the city, and no one will be left behind!" Lin Xinzi said to the adjutant in a low voice.

The adjutant's heart trembled, and he responded: "Yes! ”

......

Li San is assigning tasks to the soldiers around him, since General Lin Xinzi appointed him as the new centurion last night, and sent soldiers here to supplement the team, Li San is now the commander of this team of 100 people.

After experiencing life and death, Li San understands the cruelty of war, and the companion who was still laughing with you in the last second may die in the next second. All each of them can do is to hold the long knife in their hands, shoot the arrows in their hands hard, and take their fate into their own hands.

Killing one Qin soldier is not a loss, killing two blood is earned.

Soon, the battle began.

The 30,000 cavalry archers of the Qin State launched the first volley against Ling'an Pass, and the rain of arrows in the sky shot at the Zhongshan soldiers at the head of the city. But after a few days of fighting, the soldiers of Ling'an Pass found some way to deal with it, holding their shields above their heads to shield them from the whizzing bow and arrows, and in doing so, avoid the danger of being pierced by the bows and arrows.

However, the Qin army also became smarter, under the command of the main general Liu Wei, the cavalry of the Qin State first fired three waves of arrows wrapped in straw, although this increased the weight of the arrows lost and greatly reduced the hit rate, but this move was not intended to kill, but to pave the way for the subsequent salvo.

When the Ling'an Pass guards at the head of the city were still secretly rejoicing, something happened about it.

Tens of thousands of rockets shot into the sky, and then landed on the city head of Ling'an Pass, which was already covered with straw, and there was a sea of fire in an instant!

Lin Xinzi noticed that something was wrong when he fired a few salvos in front of the Qin soldiers, and when he saw the arrow wrapped in straw missing, his heart trembled, and he shouted in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry! Go get water in the city! ”

But it was too late, and the city was already on fire.

The wails of soldiers were heard everywhere, and many of their clothes were set on fire, and the soldiers who were on fire rolled on the ground in pain, and those who were not burned hurriedly used their clothes to fight the flames for them.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up!" Lin Xinzi yelled, "Stick to your post and don't put down your shield!" ”

But where could the soldiers hear Lin Xinzi's roar?

At this moment, the next wave of arrows from the Qin army came.

The unsheltered Zhongshan soldiers were exposed to the rain of arrows, one after another piercing their already tattered armor, but this time there was no need to wail, and the sharp arrows passed through their bodies and took their lives with them.

Lin Xinzi stared at the fallen soldiers around him with round eyes, each soldier was full of arrows, and there was still the last trace of despair on his face.

He clenched his fists, and a low roar came out of his throat, he hated the pampered doctors in the national capital, hated the guards who would not save him when he saw death, hated the strategist who gave advice to Uncle Zhongshan, and hated his own powerlessness.

He and the soldiers around him were desperately defending the most important pass for their home and country, but those people in the national capital not only told them to leave, but also did not save them when they died, and Lin Xinzi, who did not understand Chen Ziyou's plan, was full of resentment at the moment.

After the fire was finally brought under control and the volley of the Qin soldiers stopped, Lin Xinzi fiercely pulled out the long knife at his waist, and he stood at the head of the city, his long hair scattered fluttering in the wind.

Lin Xinzi let out a low roar, and with an incomparably heavy horizontal slash, he cut down a Qin soldier who was trying to climb over the city wall. The Qin soldier wailed, fell heavily to the ground, and made a thud, but the Qin soldier who was climbing was only stunned for a moment and accelerated his climbing action, with the help of the ladder, they climbed faster and faster.

However, Lin Xinzi's actions gave the defenders a lot of encouragement, and they followed Lin Xinzi's actions, put down the shield in their hands, pulled out the long knife at their waists, and slashed all their strength at every Qin soldier who tried to climb over the city wall.

......

Shoucheng, Qiming Palace, Library Pavilion.

Chen Ziyou put down the book in his hand and looked at the latest letter sent by Ling'an Guan a day ago.

The letter was still asking for help, and the guard general Lin Xinzi spoke in a resolute tone, promising Zhongshan Bo that he would live and die with Ling'anguan until the day when the reinforcements arrived.

But everyone in the national capital knows that there will be no reinforcements, why is Lin Xinzi unwilling to abandon the pass? He should be well aware of this fact.

Chen Ziyou couldn't figure it out, but he thought it through.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Ziyou still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, he bowed his head and sighed softly.

"It's a pity for the faithful."

......

Ling'an Pass, the head of the city.

Liu Wei finally broke through the Ling'an Pass as he wished, and when he climbed to the top of the city, he walked to the bloody corpse leaning against the wall under the leadership of the soldiers. His blackened face was no longer recognizable, and his left arm had been severed alive, but it was entangled in a bloody white cloth. Only the tattered general's clothes on his body can help Liu Wei identify his identity.

According to the soldiers, after the severed arm, the man simply bandaged and continued to slash with his remaining right arm until there was no longer a soldier from Zhongshan by his side. When the heavy Qin soldiers surrounded him in the corner, no one dared to step forward and make a move, until the madman slowly sat down on the ground with a knife, and slowly stopped moving.

It took a long time for the bold Qin soldiers to come forward to probe his breathing, and only then did they confirm that he was dead.

Liu Wei looked at the bloody corpse silently, and finally ordered softly: "Find a place, bury him, and let the soldiers not harass the people in Guanzhong." If there is anything to make trouble, the next city pass will make enough trouble for you, if I find out that there are people who do not obey orders, there will be no forgiveness. ”

Several soldiers walked up to the bloody corpse, intending to take the long knife from the man's hand first, and then move it away and bury it, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not pull out the tattered long knife that was tightly clutched. In the end, they reluctantly gave up and moved away with the knife and the corpse.

Under the sunset, Lin Xinzi did not let go of the tattered long knife that guarded the city pass to protect the people until he died, but it still could not change the fact that the Qin soldiers set foot on the Ling'an Pass.

At this point, Ling'an was broken.
