The sun shone on the earth, but the golden light did not bring a moment of peace to the earth.

In front of the Qin army's array, dozens of catapults roared to throw boulders at the Shouchun city wall.

Although the weather was not very hot, the soldiers of the Qin army next to the catapult were all shirtless, and three or five people pushed huge stones and placed them on the catapult.

The boulders that flew towards Shouchun were wrapped in strong wind, whistling and crashing into the solid Shouchun city wall.

Huge boulders smashed on the city wall, and with a loud bang, puffs of white smoke and dust rose from the perimeter of the city wall.

Ji Ling sat with his back against the battlements, and the soldiers of the Huainan Army near him also sat behind the battlements.

The thick walls gave them the best cover, but they could still feel a tremor as if they were about to be shaken by a boulder falling on the wall.

"Boom!" Several boulders smashed on a city wall in a row, and with a loud bang, the city wall finally failed to withstand the powerful impact and collapsed into small pieces.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Huainan Army happened to be sitting on the city wall, and when the city wall collapsed, they didn't have time to react at all, and before they even had time to scream, they fell into the collapsed stone pile and were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood.

The main formation of the Qin army outside Shouchun City continued to project boulders on the city wall, and at this time, the secret passage in Shouchun City where Yuan Shu had planned to let the soldiers secretly go out of the city to sneak attack the Qin army was also dug up by the Qin army led by Tai Shici.

When the shovel pierced the dirt that blocked the way forward, the soldier wielding the shovel shouted excitedly: "General! Dig through! ”

"Array!" Hearing that the secret passage was dug through, Tai Shici almost didn't think about it, so he gave the order to the Qin army who followed him to this place.

At the same time that the Qin army was digging through the dark passage, outside the dark passage, several rows of Huainan army archers had already drawn their bows and arrows, and were ready to launch arrows into the dark passage.

They watched the tip of half a shovel appear in front of them, and just as they were ready to shoot arrows into it as soon as the passage was dug up, the Qin army in the passage was silent.

After waiting for a while, I didn't see the Qin army digging the passage, and the Huainan army archers lined up outside looked at each other one by one, not knowing what was going on.

The Qin army in the dark passage, under the command of Tai Shici, lined up in a long dragon-like formation.

The passage was very narrow, only allowing five or six people to march side by side, and the array of the Qin army was a group of five, blocking the shield in front of them, quietly waiting for Tai Shi Ci to give the order to attack.

After giving the order to line up, Tai Shici did not give the order to attack, he was still waiting, waiting for the sky to get dark again.

A small ray of sunlight penetrated the crevices of the dirt that had been pounded by the soldiers.

The sunlight is still very dazzling, and from this sunlight, Tai Shici can see that it is still early before it gets dark, and they are afraid that they will have to wait for a few hours before they can completely dig through the passage.

In an alley in the city, Deng Zhan and the dragoon guards who rushed into the city at night lurked in several houses.

In order to prevent the owners of the houses from shouting and screaming to attract the Huainan army, they tied up all the owners of the houses and put thick linen cloth on their mouths.

"General!" Deng Zhan stood at the window, looking out the window and listening to the loud noise of the city wall in the distance, Huang Sheng stepped into the house, first glanced at the master's family who were tied up and sat in the corner, and then bowed to Deng Zhan with his fists and said: "The army has already thrown boulders at the city wall, can we do it?" ”

"Be careful!" Nodding, Deng Zhan said to Huang Sheng: "Don't go out of Lu to go to too many people, ten people in a team, go out to ten teams." Kill the Huainan Army and withdraw immediately! ”

"No!" Deng Zhan gave the order to attack, and Huang Sheng responded, turned around and left the room.

The hut was not very large, and there were many dragoon guards crowded in the outer room, and in the room where Deng Zhan was, there were only him and the four dragoon guards who were responsible for protecting him.

The owner's family, who were tightly bound by the hemp rope, opened their eyes and looked at Deng Zhan with panic, but Deng Zhan didn't pay attention to them, just stood at the window and observed the situation on the street outside.

It was not out of Deng Zhan's intention to bind the master's family, but the dragoon guards forcibly entered the city and hibernated in the city under the noses of the Huainan army.

If it weren't for the attack on the city wall and the underground passage dug by the Qin army, the Huainan army would definitely strengthen the search for Deng Zhan and others, even if they hid in the mouse hole, I am afraid they would have been dug up.

Although the Huainan Army had no time to take care of them at this time, Deng Zhan still thought that it was the most important thing to be careful.

If the owner of the house and his family were not tied up and gagged, once they shouted and attracted the Huainan army, the dragoon guards would surely fall into a battle to the death.

Dragoons are good at lurking and infiltrating, but they are also human, and although they are strong, their number is only five hundred.

Under the strong attack of tens of thousands of Huainan troops, no matter how good Deng Zhan and the others are, they will inevitably be completely killed by the enemy in the end.

Compared with the lives of more than 500 dragoon guards, what is it to tie up the owner of the house where they are hiding?

After Deng Zhan gave the order, a hundred dragoon guards under the leadership of Huang Sheng rushed out of several houses.

Leading a hundred dragoons to the mouth of the alley, Huang Sheng made a series of gestures to the dragoons behind him.

Seeing his gestures, the dragoon guards were divided into groups of ten, and taking advantage of the absence of Huainan troops on the street, quickly jumped out of several nearby alleys.

Personally led a team of dragoon guards and jumped into a nearby alley, Huang Sheng first glanced at the street outside the alley, saw that the Huainan army was still far away from the street, waved to the dragoon guards behind him, and ran to the other end of the alley.

The city wall was bombarded by boulders, and most of the Huainan troops in the city hibernate in order to avoid unnecessary losses.

Leading a team of dragoons to run to the mouth of the alley, Huang Sheng observed for a while, and found that there were dozens of Huainan soldiers hiding in a nearby house, and beckoned to the dragoon guards behind him, taking advantage of the fact that those Huainan troops did not notice their side, and jumped towards the house.

Although there were countless boulders bombarding the city wall, Huang Sheng and the others were still far away from the city wall, and they could only see boulders flying into the city from a distance, but they didn't have to worry about being hit by those boulders at all.

The Huainan army hidden in the house obviously also knew this layer, they were not very panicked, hibernating in the house, the soldiers were still talking loudly to each other, and a few people would let out bursts of laughter from time to time.

Quickly jumping to the side of this private house, Huang Sheng and the others hid their tracks through a private house, and they all tightly grasped the hilt of the long sword at their waists.

"I'm going to pee!" The roar of the boulder was endless, and the sound of the Huainan army talking was also very loud, and a Huainan soldier stood up and greeted his companions on the side.

The Huainan soldier stood up and did not walk towards the place where Huang Sheng and the others were hiding, but walked in another direction.

Looking at the Huainan soldiers who walked a little farther away to pee, Huang Sheng's hand pressed behind him, and the dragoon guards who wanted to follow him all calmed down and didn't act rashly.

The number of Huainan troops nearby is not very large, Huang Sheng roughly estimated that if they suddenly attacked, it would only take more than ten breaths to deal with these Huainan troops.

But in that case, their whereabouts will be exposed, and if there are other Huainan troops nearby, it is likely that a fight will start.

Being entangled by the Huainan Army is not the result that Huang Sheng wants to see.

The Huainan army, who had peed, quickly returned to his companions, and after carefully observing the Huainan army for a while, Huang Sheng found that their vigilance was not very high, and they did not have the manpower to observe the surrounding situation at all.

Seeing that the vigilance of this Huainan army was very poor, Huang Sheng gestured to the dragoon guards behind him.

After he had finished gesticulating, the five dragoons turned and trotted towards the other side of the house.

When running, the dragoons did not deliberately slow down, and the roar of the boulder bombardment on the city wall was already a perfect cover for their footsteps.

When the figures of the five dragoon guards disappeared from the corner of the wall, Huang Sheng turned his head again and looked towards the Huainan army that he could see.

He was so close to this Huainan army that he could only rush a dozen steps before he could swing his long sword and slash at them.

But Huang Sheng still didn't immediately attack those Huainan troops, he was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to touch these Huainan troops one by one.

Finally, the Huainan army moved.

Huang Sheng clearly heard a Huainan soldier shouting: "Look, what is that?" ”

The shouts of the Huainan soldiers obviously attracted the attention of the others, and all the Huainan soldiers craned their necks and looked in the direction of his finger.

What appeared in their sight was a short sword, a short sword that had been drawn from its scabbard and thrown to the ground.

Seeing the short sword, many Huainan soldiers wanted to come forward to check, and the officer who led them hurriedly stopped them and said to them: "I have never seen such a strange short sword, but it is quite similar to the long sword of the Qin army's dragoon guard, brothers, don't panic, if you want to go, go together!" ”

The officer's words made this group of Huainan troops all stabilize, and the Huainan army, which had planned to go to check, needless to say, even those Huainan troops who were still sitting on the ground and did not plan to move also stood up one after another.

In the battle of the city wall, the strong combat power of the dragoon guard had already broken the courage of the Huainan army, and just a short sword made these Huainan troops a little more careful when marching.

A pair of eyes stared at the short sword without blinking, and the group of Huainan soldiers gathered together, slowly touching the short sword, as if they were not facing a discarded short sword, but a swordsman with strong combat power.

Seeing that the Huainan army had moved, Huang Sheng waved behind him and jumped towards the group of Huainan troops first.

When several dragoon guards who followed him saw him jump out, they also drew their long swords from their waists and followed him closely, rushing towards the group of Huainan troops.
