When night fell, Tianshui City in the dark night, the city gate was closed and silent, dozens of human heads hung on the city gate tower were constantly shaking in the cold wind, making people shudder, they were all soldiers who wanted to escape, they were caught by Liu Yuan and cut off their heads on the spot, and then hung on the city to set an example.

At this time, thirty miles away from Tianshui, Wang Jian and his army were resting in a dense forest, and there were no other movements except for the chewing sound of the soldiers when they were eating.

"General, we've finished trimming and can go at any time."

A lieutenant came to Wang Jian and whispered.

"Wait a minute, Tanma hasn't come back yet."

Wang Jian stood on a fast boulder and looked out, and after a while, a fast horse galloped over.

"General, the gate of Tianshui City is closed and you can't enter, and there are a lot of heads hanging on the city, it seems that they are all soldiers, it seems that there has been a mutiny in the city."

"Oh? The gates are closed and you can't enter? What's going on? Did they learn about our movements? ”

Wang Jian frowned.

"I searched around Tianshui and found some homeless people, these people said that the Great Zhou sent 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Liu Yuan, and many people escaped from Tianshui, but they didn't say how our Great Qin was, it seems that they didn't find our movements."

"100,000 elite soldiers? Hmph, I know, it must be that the news of Liu Yuan's betrayal of Da Zhou was known by the people of Tianshui, and then countless rumors came out, these people are really stupid, where does Da Zhou have the ability to send 100,000 elites now? But this news is not good news for us, but it doesn't matter, under the iron hooves of my Great Qin, there is absolutely no problem in stepping on Tianshui, order our subordinates, we will set off immediately, arrive in Tianshui within half an hour, and strive to capture Tianshui City in two hours. ”

Under the cover of night, five thousand iron horsemen crushed towards the heavenly water.

Above the gate of Tianshui City, the soldiers guarding the city curled up their bodies and hid in the battlements to avoid the cold, although Liu Yuan's cold suppression stopped the soldiers from fleeing, but at the same time, it also made the army demoralized, except for those Liu Yuan's real henchmen, everyone else had their own ghosts, and they didn't know what the future was.

Two soldiers were sitting together in a corner of the city wall, and one of them asked, "Brother Gou, you said that if the army of the Great Zhou really comes to Tianshui, what should we do?" ”

"What to do? What can I do? Brother, we all have a family and a mouth, what if our wife and children die? Besides, how can our men and horses beat the imperial court? If it really comes to that time, I won't rush up anyway, and life in this world is the most important thing. ”

"That's right, then Liu Yuan is really confused, how can he betray the imperial court? We are also frightened and afraid of those who are harmed. ”

While the two were chatting, a rumbling sound suddenly came from a distance, as if thunder was rolling in the sky.

"What's going on?"

The defenders at the head of the city all stood up and looked into the distance, and by the blazing torches on the top of the city, they saw a black shadow like a tide rapidly approaching the sky and water for several miles in the distance, and in the blink of an eye they showed their figures.

"Ahh It's the army, the army of the Great Zhou is coming! ”

The defenders were terrified.

Before they could react, the cavalry under the city had been divided, and the two horse teams in the middle ran out of the ranks with two thick logs, and came to the front of the city gate in a moment, these logs were four or five zhang long, one of them was more than two thousand catties, and the whole body was painted with red tung oil, and it was inlaid with copper rings.

The soldiers on the horse team jumped from their horses neatly, and more than twenty people pulled them and slammed them against the city gate.

"Boom, boom!"

The city gate made a loud noise under the powerful impact, and there was a danger of being broken at any time, this was the huge wooden array of the Qin army, which was specially used to attack the city.

Dozens of sergeants slammed the door with the giant wood, while the surrounding nearly 100 soldiers were guarding with shields, which was a shield array, and the cooperation with the giant wood array was seamless.

The remaining thousands of cavalry lined up in a phalanx more than 30 zhang away outside the city to bend the bow and arrows, the commander gave an order, the hard bow burst out with a deafening sound, nearly a thousand soldiers fired a salvo, the arrow broke through the air and shot up the city tower, and suddenly nearly a hundred Tianshui defenders fell together, the commander shouted again, and the other thousand soldiers fired another volley, the bow and arrow rained down the soldiers on the city tower and could not raise their heads.

This is Daqin's arrow array, and the arrows are devastating.

There were only more than 100 guards on the city gate, and the casualties were heavy after the three rounds of arrows, and the rest of the people did not dare to show their heads, so they could only push down the boulders and logs on the city at will, and most of them did not hit the target, and even if they hit, they were blocked by the shield array of the Qin soldiers.

"Quick, quick, go and tell Taishou immediately, just say that the Great Zhou army is coming, and the rest of the people hurry up and call me!"

One of the generals howled loudly at the city gates.

Two giant trees frantically slammed into the city gate, but after a cup of tea, only a "boom" was heard, and the city gate several feet high was knocked open.

"Kill!"

The Qin army rode their horses and rushed in.

However, the Qin army only broke the gate of the urn city, and in order to enter the main city, it was necessary to break through a city gate.

The so-called urn city is a huge square built outside the main city gate, surrounded by a tall city wall, once the enemy enters the urn city, the defenders can stand on the city wall and attack at will without dead ends, this urn city is used for defense, once the enemy enters, if you can't break through the inner city, it becomes a live target for the defenders.

But now the morale of the sergeants in Tianshui is low, and when they see the army attacking, many people think about how to defend but how to survive at the first time, but how to survive, but fortunately, the staff on the city gate is Liu Yuan's henchman, and he led the guards to cut down several sergeants who wanted to escape one after another to stabilize the situation.

"Whoever dares to run and kill, attack me, kill me!"

The general shouted frantically while urging the soldiers to attack downward.

The Qin soldiers were not chaotic at all, and the two teams of shield arrays protected the giant wooden array, and under the cover of the arrow array, they passed through the urn city and came to the front of the main city gate, and began to hit the city gate again.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A loud sound pierced the night sky and was heard far away.

"Hurry! Why hasn't Taishou come yet! ”

The general defending the city was extremely anxious, and his little strength could not stop the opponent's attack at all.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the city, and Liu Yuan led nearly a hundred escorts to arrive, and he immediately led the escorts to come when he got the news.

"Who is it?"

Liu Yuan ran up the city tower with his men, and when he looked down, he was surprised.

"Qin Bing, it turned out to be Qin Bing!"

Immediately he understood, no wonder the other party came to persuade him to surrender, it turned out that he had already planned to attack Tianshui, hum, even this person dared to take my Tianshui, it was really wishful thinking!

"What are you doing in a daze? Give me a hard beating, and whoever tries to escape will be executed on the spot. ”

Liu Yuan shouted loudly, and he also picked up a bow and shot downward.

"Arrows!"

The commander of the Qin army outside gave another order, and arrows rained down from the sky, and more than a dozen soldiers fell on the spot.

"What? Is there anyone out there? ”

Liu Yuan just boarded the urn city, and didn't see the thousands of men and horses lined up in an arrow formation outside the city, and the volley just now almost hit him.

"My lord, there are thousands of cavalry outside the city to form an arrow array, and we are far from enough!"

The general shouted.

"What?"

Liu Yuan came to the mouth of the outer wall in a few steps, and when he looked down, he was frightened.
