"Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine syrup, open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay for the grain when he comes!"

The county town of Wudu was besieged by 50,000 Chuang Wang troops, and the shouts of the Chuang Wang army shook the sky and echoed over the battlefield!

Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, personally attacked the city, and a team of foot soldiers carried simple ladders to storm this city!

A dense rain of arrows covered the sky, and hundreds of defenders of Wudu County were killed by random arrows and fell on the city walls!

The army of Chuang Wang not only directly attacked the city, but also overwhelming the momentum, and all the civilians in the city were alarmed!

200,000 Hanzhong soldiers came out of Qishan, and Wudu County bore the brunt!

"Where's Taishou-sama?"

"As early as yesterday, when I heard that the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong were attacking, I immediately went to Longxi County to ask for reinforcements!"

"Without Taishou, Taishou will take away the elite soldiers, I'm afraid it won't abandon us!"

"It's better for us to surrender to Hanzhong......"

There were only 3,000 defenders left in Wudu County, and they were unable to resist the 200,000 Hanzhong army, so they opened the city gate to welcome the general Li Zicheng.

The officials of Wudu County knelt on both sides of the road resignedly, not daring to look up at Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng walked with a tiger step and snorted, which made the officials of Wudu County terrified.

"In the entire Wudu County, how many defenders are there?"

"Three thousand defenders."

"Although the population of Wudu County is not large, it is also a county, and there are only 3,000 defenders?"

"We have transferred our elite troops to Qishan Fort, thinking that the terrain of Qishan Fort is steep and easier to defend."

"Where is Taishou?"

"He went to Longxi County ......"

Li Zicheng frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with the other party's answer.

"Attack Qishan Fort!"

Li Zicheng easily captured Wudu County, and attacked Qishan Fort non-stop.

50,000 Chuang Wang troops, 3,000 defenders of Wudu County, and attacked Qishan Fort in a big way!

The peasant rebel army could quickly absorb the surrendered troops and form a larger force.

In Longxi County, the three strangers are too anxious.

The 200,000 soldiers and horses of Hanzhong Zhang Dao attacked Xiliang, which was as fast as the wind and invaded like fire!

"Hanzhong Zhang Dao, has captured Wudu County, the army is near Qishan Fort, if Qishan Fort is lost, then the next to be captured is Hanyang County, and then Longxi County. The three of us lost our territory, Lao Qin's side would not let us go, and King Xia and Xu Fengnian had a close relationship, so they would not let us go. Therefore, Qishan Fort must not be lost! ”

"I have transferred the troops of Wudu County to Qishan Fort, even if Wudu County is captured, it will only lose three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled."

"Ask for help from Liangzhou Assassin Shi Xie Ai, he is the governor of the Xiliang military, and only he can repel Zhang Dao's 200,000 army."

The three Taishou were left without a master because of Zhang Dao's advance.

It was difficult for Zhang Dao to attack Chengdu, not because he was too weak, but because Liu Bei and Yang Su were too strong, and generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wang Meng, King Lanling, and Hulu Mingyue severely damaged Li Zicheng and other peasant army leaders and repelled Zhang Dao.

However, Wudu County, Longxi County, and Hanyang County were too guarded, but they did not have any decent generals, so they panicked in the face of Zhang Dao's aggressive offensive.

"Before Xie Ai's reinforcements arrived, we garrisoned at Mumen Road, and Qishan Fort was a horn to block Zhang Dao's offensive for the time being."

"Very good."

Under the mobilization of the three Yiren Taishou, about 50,000 troops from the three counties were assembled in Mumendao.

"Xu Huang, Pang De, you two, take the lead in supporting Mumendao, I need time."

Xie Ai, who was promoted to the assassin of Liangzhou, dispatched Xu Huang and Pang De to support the three Taishou, and at the same time there was a team of Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Qishan Fort, with about 8,000 defenders, was besieged by Li Zicheng's 50,000 Chuang Wang army!

Li Zicheng once again forcibly attacked the city, and lost 800 men in the first attack, and made no progress.

Qishan Fort was a fortress deliberately set up by the Qin army, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Kill it!"

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, the general of the Chuang Wang Army, held a shield and tried to climb the city wall, but a falling stone hit Liu Zongmin's shield, and Liu Zongmin rolled down the ladder and was seriously injured!

The army of Chuang Wang was hit and their morale dropped.

Li Zicheng had to give up attacking Qishan Fort and set up camp near Qishan Fort.

Li Zicheng's military advisor was Song Xiance, and he observed the surroundings of Qishan Fort and found it difficult to find flaws. Relying on the topography, Qishan Fort has no flaws at all just from the topography.

"Qishan Fort, you can besiege but not attack, bypass this fort. The disadvantage is to disperse our forces, such as a good general in the fortress, which can cut off the food routes of our army. ”

"Hanzhong is really a Jedi, there is the Sword Pavilion in the south, and there is Qishan Mountain in the north."

Li Zicheng can only sigh in the face of natural danger.

"Taishou-sama is here!"

When Li Zicheng's offensive was blocked by Qishan Fort, Zhang Dao's Yellow Turban Army, Chen Sheng Wu Guang's Late Qin Rebellion Army, and Yang Ang's Hanzhong Army came to Qishan Mountain Road one after another.

They had already captured Wudu County, which was not strong but had a small population, and they only needed to cross the Qishan Mountain Road to reach Hanyang County.

"Sure enough, Qishan Fort is difficult to capture."

Zhang Dao had already guessed such a result before the troops left Qishan.

If Qishan Fort was so easy to capture, there would be no need for the Qin army to build a fortress here.

"Lord Taishou, the enemy cavalry of Longxi County and Hanyang County came to support Qishan Fort along the wooden gate road, and the soldiers and horses may exceed 50,000!"

Zhang Dao arrived at Qishan Fort, and the reinforcements of Taishou, Xu Huang, and Pang De of the three counties had already set off from Hanyang County and entered Mumen Road, and were about to meet Zhang Dao's 200,000 troops in Qishan Road!

"I thought that the Taishou of the three southern counties of Liangzhou would choose Jianbi Qingye, but I didn't expect to dare to take the initiative to fight with us. The defense does not seem to be in line with the style of Xu Huang and Pound. Pang De is brave and unscrupulous, and the real trouble is Xu Huang, who has the style of Zhou Yafu. ”

Zhang Dao was very jealous of Xu Huang, one of the five good generals.

Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, and Xu Huang contributed the most.

The five good generals have their own talents, but they lack popularity and their attributes are not as good as the five tiger generals.

"Let's go and meet Xu Huang, one of the five good generals, and Pang De, the brave general of Xiliang."

Zhang Dao is not very afraid, he can sit firmly in the position of Hanzhong Taishou, and he has his own means.

"Yang Ang, Yang Ren, the two of you led the Hanzhong army to besiege Qishan Fort, but only besieged but not attacked. The rest of the soldiers and horses, bypassing Qishan Fort and breaking the Xiliang army, passed through the wooden gate road and captured Shangqi City. ”

"Taishou-sama, do we really want to take a detour?"

"We still have enough troops, as long as the defenders of Qishan Fort cannot leave the city, they will not be able to threaten our food routes. Since the grain route and retreat are safe, the detour is not unacceptable. ”

"Command!"

Zhang Dao would not be able to capture Qishan Fort for a while and a half, and he could not delay, so he had to bypass this fortress with 8,000 defenders.

200,000 soldiers and horses crowded on Qishan Road, and after a long time, the grain and grass were exhausted, and Zhang Dao had to retreat.

The Hanzhong army was more eager for a decisive battle than the Western Liang army.

Afraid of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but the grain and grass are overwhelmed, and they are eager for a quick victory, this is the difficult situation of the Hanzhong army.

"Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan Mountain, I guess he is also in this mood."

Zhang Dao felt Zhuge Liang's powerlessness a little.

50,000 peasant troops besieged Qishan Fort, 150,000 peasant troops, and 20,000 cannon fodder recruited by Zhang Dao on the way, a total of 170,000 soldiers and horses, marched to Mumendao.

At the junction of Qishan Road and Mumen Road, the Hanzhong Army and the Xiliang Army encountered!

"Xiliang...... Iron Rider ......! ”

Zhang Daowang saw that at the end of the valley, a team of fierce cavalry appeared, and the sand and dust were rolling!

Xiliang Iron Riders are all wearing heavy armor, spears, javelins, bows and arrows are all complete!

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the most feared branch of the Hanzhong Peasant Army.

Without some special means, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could easily tear apart the lineup of the peasant army.

"Haven't you seen the world before!? Don't panic! ”

Li Zicheng rode a horse and shouted angrily in the Chuang Wang army, calming down the turbulent Chuang Wang army.

When Zhang Dao attacked Yizhou, Li Zicheng had already fought with the Youzhou Raiders that Liu Bei brought to Yizhou, and Li Zicheng himself was wounded by Guan Yu, so he was not so afraid of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"Zhang Dao's peasant army is really exaggerated, a Hanzhong County, in addition to the defenders, can also pull out 200,000 soldiers, such a force ratio, even compared with the nomadic tribes, is not much different?"

"It's a pity that Zhang Dao chose Hanzhong as a stronghold, and it is difficult to expand, and in the past ten years, there has only been one Hanzhong County."

If he hadn't chosen to expand in the relatively closed Hanzhong, perhaps his fate would not be much different from that of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army, and he would soon be suppressed by the joint efforts of the officers and soldiers and various princes, and he would not be able to last for ten years. This guy has been a soil emperor in Hanzhong for ten years, and at least he can be a soil emperor for a few more years. ”

With the help of Xu Huang and Pang De, the three Yiren Taishou seemed to be confident and no longer afraid of Zhang Dao of the Northern Expedition.

Xu Huang is a good general of the five sons, and Pang De dares to shout with Guan Yu.

There are also a group of ordinary Xiliang generals and 50,000 soldiers and horses, many of which are Xiliang light cavalry.

"What is Liangzhou Thorn Shi Xie Ai doing? He sent Xu Huang and Pang De, but he was delayed. ”

"I don't know, maybe he's also afraid of Zhang Dao's peasant army."

"We set up camps, mainly defended, and delayed time. Zhang Dao's troops are four times ours, coming from afar, the consumption of grain and grass is amazing, just wait, Zhang Dao's army of 200,000 will be self-defeating. ”

"Follow Sima Yi's story?"

"As long as you can win, what about being a turtle with a shrunken head?"

"Wonderful."

The three strangers discussed in private, and finally decided to block the wooden doorway, only defending and not attacking, disgusting Zhang Dao.

The 8,000 defenders of Qishan Fort and the 50,000 defenders of Mumendao were like two nails, no longer attacking, and confronted Zhang Dao's 200,000 troops.

Zhang Dao's Hanzhong army was in a predicament.

Although the Xiliang army arrived, it had no intention of going to war, and the Hanzhong army could not fight.

At night, Zhang Dao frowned and walked out of the camp.

The moon and stars are scarce, and a strategist is watching the sky at night.

Zhang Dao walked up to the strategist who looked like a scholar, and the man noticed Zhang Dao approaching, and bowed slightly: "Lord." ”

"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry has always been brave and good at fighting, and I am very worried. But the three Taishou can't hold on, the threat is greater than that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I hesitate again and again, if you want to win, you have to rely on your ability. It's just that I've wronged you. ”

Zhang Dao handed a scroll to the man.

This person was a military general recruited by Zhang Dao in the Fourth National War.

There are also quite a few barbarian tribes near Hanzhong, so Zhang Dao actually has points.

This scroll is not a reward for the Fourth National War, but a treasure that Zhang Dao has obtained ten years ago.

The man took the scroll, and his eyes changed: "Taiping wants to use the Tianzi scroll?" ”

Zhang Dao's tone was heavy: "Yes, Zhang Jiao, I want you to use your special ability to defeat the Xiliang Army." ”
