At the sound of the bowstring, the guy fell off his horse in response, and the rest of the people panicked and hurriedly retreated to the pass. Zhang Liang didn't stop, shooting arrow after arrow. Although he did not learn the magical continuous bead archery like Mu Duoli, his arm strength was amazing, his movements were extremely fast, and his archery skills were equally superb. Before the cavalry who rushed out of the gate could return to the gate, they fell one after another. There was a sound of a gong, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed over, hurriedly closing the city gates, and the drawbridge was slowly pulled up.

In the blink of an eye, he shot down six or seven soldiers who had closed the city gates, but as the drawbridge was pulled up, it gradually blocked his view.

At this time, Zhang Liang was a little closer to the door, and he couldn't help but shout, and shot an arrow towards the thick hemp rope that pulled up the suspension bridge. With a "whoosh", the feather arrow passed through the rope, but the hemp rope was too thick, and the arrow was only half broken, and the drawbridge was still slowly rising, and the defenders on the gate breathed a sigh of relief.

Unknowingly, at this moment, Zhang Liang shot another arrow, right in the middle of the broken rope. With a loud bang, two arrows were taken in the same place, and no matter how thick the hemp rope was, it couldn't bear the huge weight of the suspension bridge, and it was suddenly broken into two. No one expected that Zhang Liang's archery skills would be so accurate, and he shouted in unison when he closed the door. Zhang Liang shot two arrows in succession at the thick rope of the other. "Boom!" Large clouds of dust were stirred up on both sides of the moat, and the drawbridge fell heavily, bounced twice on the ground, and rested firmly on the moat.

Seeing Zhang Liang so brave, the sergeants guarding the pass were stunned, and they forgot to close the city gate for a while. Before the dust settled, Zhang Liang shot a few more arrows, screaming at the city gate, and the half-closed city gate finally stopped.

And Zhang Liang's soldiers never stopped running, they had already arrived in front of the pass and rushed in.

The Anyi Pass relied on the tall city walls and the wide moat, and now that the enemy had broken through both places, the morale of the army collapsed, and the soldiers surrendered one after another, Zhang Liang conquered the Anyi Pass with almost no effort. After entering the customs, Zhang Liang sent people to report to Liu Ziqiu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers to outflank and attack the Great Earthquake Pass and the Great Scattered Pass from behind. Although those two passes were not the direction of his attack, he repeatedly emphasized the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance, and the internal and external attacks could greatly destroy the fighting spirit of the defenders and minimize the casualties of his own army, so Zhang Liang made arrangements without thinking, without the slightest idea of preserving strength.

This is also thanks to Liu Ziqiu's arrangement of the army. None of the generals directly commanded the armies, and only in wartime did they have command over them. In peacetime, it is only a thousand commanders and centurions who command and train these armies. The advantage of this is that those high-ranking generals will not be able to treat the army as their own private property, and it will be impossible for them to support themselves. And those commanders and centurions have a low status and limited troops, and it is difficult for them to have a rebellious heart.

The Great Earthquake Pass is in the north of Anyi Pass, a little farther away, so when Shi Danai led the army to arrive, the suspension bridge was pulled high, and the gate was locked. Shi Danai didn't know that Zhang Liang had captured Anyi Pass, and he was still bent on winning the first credit. Seeing that the door was closed and locked, Shi Danai shouted angrily and rushed to the front with an iron rod. When the guards saw it, they hurriedly ordered the arrows to be released.

The reason why the pass is established here is because the terrain here is dangerous, the strange rocks on both sides are craggy, the road is narrow, and it is difficult to spread the troops of the attacking side. Although there were only 3,000 defenders at the pass, it was enough to completely block the road in front of the pass, and if it was forcibly attacked, it was bound to suffer heavy casualties. Shi Dabiao didn't believe in this evil, an iron rod flew up and down, his legs ran past the war horse, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the pass, and the soldiers behind him were still fifty steps away from him.

The chaotic arrows rained down, and Shi Danai was also hit by two arrows, but he didn't realize it, rushed to the moat and jumped in. It was only February, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the river. The ice was not thick, and it couldn't withstand Shi Danai's body, and it shattered with a "bang". Fragmented thin ice floated on the surface of the river, hampering Stanai's movements. Coupled with the flying arrows rushing in his face, Shi Danai was in danger for a while, and blood flowers burst out on the surface of the river.

Even so, Shi Danai rushed to the opposite shore and jumped up. At this moment, he had more than twenty feathered arrows stuck in his body, like a hedgehog, but his steps did not slow down at all, and he had already rushed to the vicinity of the city gate, climbing the gap in the city wall with one hand and climbing up.

There was a ** in the city who shouted: "Quick! Quickly put the wood. ”

The tree is a huge trunk that hugs the thickness of the tree, and if it falls down the city wall, if you can't dodge, it will be smashed to pieces in an instant. And Shi Danai's entire body hung over the city wall, and there was almost no room to dodge. Just as the soldiers at the head of the city waited to cheer in unison. Listening to a loud "bang", the log that had just been thrown down actually flew in the air, turned over twice, and fell heavily on the top of the city, and immediately knocked down a large number of onlookers.

Shi Danai ran straight up the city wall like an ape, and when he encountered a smooth place, he smashed it with an iron rod, and a large pit immediately appeared, and after a few ups and downs, he had already seen the battlements of the city wall.

At this time, someone in the city remembered and shouted, "Quick! Splash the gold juice! ”

Gold juice is boiling dung water, which is highly poisonous, and when it is touched by this thing, the skin immediately ulcerates, and the pain is unbearable. Shi Danai did not have a shield or anything like that, and he was hanging on the city wall, it was impossible to wield an iron rod impenetrable, and against him, the golden juice was indeed the best weapon.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and when the two soldiers tried their best to bring the gold juice of a large iron pot, Shi Danai's one hand had already helped the battlements, and the other hand waved the iron rod, and several soldiers nearby smashed it into the gold juice of the large iron pot. For a moment, the dung water was splashed everywhere, and the stench was so strong that the soldiers who were stained let out a howl of pain. Shi Danai had already jumped up to the city, swinging his stick and breaking the rope on one side of the drawbridge. The suspension bridge was left with only one rope pulling, crumbling and precarious.

Guarding the Great Earthquake Pass were Yang Xuangan's subordinates and a general, and when they saw that Shi Danai had already gone to the city, they hurriedly organized more than a hundred spearmen to pounce. The two sides are engaged in a fierce battle at the head of the city. From time to time, someone was smashed down by Shi Danai, and Shi Danai also approached the other end of the suspension bridge step by step.

Seeing this, the general snatched a pair of bows and arrows and opened his bow. But he heard the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, and an iron arrow shot from the city, hitting the forehead of the general. The iron arrow's tremendous force flew up with the general, and slammed into the tower, nailing him to the pillar. The man's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of fear.

Countless iron arrows were shot from under the city, and there was a great chaos on the city. Stana took the opportunity to take a few more steps forward, and finally smashed a stick on the other end of the drawbridge. The drawbridge collapsed with a bang. Soldiers from outside the city swarmed by, and sixty of them carried huge logs and slammed desperately into the city gates, once, twice, three times...... The entire city wall shook.

Although there was no main general in the city, the remaining soldiers were still fighting to the death, hoping to wait for reinforcements from the rear. At this moment, there was a sound of neat footsteps coming from the east side of the Great Earthquake Pass. Although the sun had set, it was not yet completely dark, and through the remaining light, it could be seen that the group of men and horses from the east was exactly the same as the army outside the pass. They had found themselves in a situation where they were attacked on both sides, and with no way out, the soldiers were scattered.

Almost at the same time, the gates fell with a thud, and the soldiers outside the gates poured into the city like a tidal wave, and the Great Earthquake Pass was broken.

……

In Luoyang City, Li Ben had just returned to his mansion when he heard his cronies come to report: "General, there is a person who claims to be surnamed Xiao who asks to see you." ”

Although Li Ben gradually became ambitious, his thoughts were still at the stage of a rural teenager, and when he heard the report, he couldn't help waving his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

After a while, a thin middle-aged man came in. Li Ben was stunned for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

The man arched his hand and said, "Below is the shopkeeper of the Luoyang branch of the Changshan Carriage and Horse Bank, and he is also the general of the shopkeeper of Xiao Da. ”

Li Ben heard that he understood it, nodded and said, "Why didn't Xiao Dapeng come by himself?" ”

An imperceptible gleam flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he quickly regained his humility, bowed down and said, "General Hui, the big shopkeeper of my family is still discussing important matters with Wang Shichong in Jiangdu, and there will be good news in the near future." The treasurer of my family asked me to bring a few gifts to the general. ”

"You bring a letter to Xiao Dapeng and ask him to hurry up. When the weather gets warmer, I am afraid that there will be disputes again in various places, and the opportunity must not be lost. Li Ben waved his hand, and then said, "What kind of gift, bring it to me and show it." ”

The middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "The general will be happy when he sees it." The gift is too big, the delivery is inconvenient, and it is still on the way, waiting for a certain person to go out and urge. ”

This whetted Li Ben's appetite, and he was itchy for a while, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then don't hurry up and urge it." ”

The middle-aged man agreed, and crawled out of Li Ben's mansion. Turning a street and alley, I saw a team of warriors ambushed inside, and the first person was Liu Wenjing. Seeing Liu Wenjing, the middle-aged man hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord Liu, it's clear." Li Ben really has a connection with Xiao Dapeng. ”

Liu Wenjing sneered: "A yellow-haired boy who has not dried up dares to go against the prince!" Hum! Take it with so! ”

The soldiers who had been ambushed in the nearby alleyways rushed up and surrounded Li Ben's mansion. Li Ben was fantasizing about what special gift Xiao Dapeng would give him in the mansion, but he was put on his neck by several steel knives. Although he is a general in the reserve palace and commands the palace guards, he does not know any martial arts. Seeing this posture, his legs were paralyzed in fright, and he shouted repeatedly: "You, do you want to rebel? I, I'm a close confidant of the prince! ”

There are not many people who know that Li Yuan has been promoted to the king of Tang, and Li Ben can shout the word "prince" to show these people that he is a person in Li Yuan's inner circle.

Liu Wenjing walked in from the outside with her hands behind her back and sneered: "Li Ben, you have committed a crime!" It was the prince who sent someone to capture you! ”
