The day passed quickly.

In the rainy day, the gate of Shangyong City finally opened again.

Facing the wind and rain, there were groups of troops dressed in black clothes and black armor, numbering 50,000 people.

The person at the head is none other than Zhao Wei, the fierce general of the Zhao army.

Yes, after a day's rest, Zhao Wei once again embarked on the journey with the army.

As for those black armors, they are naturally the things of the Qin army, and they have already gathered hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, and it is not difficult to gather these 50,000 sets of armor.

In order to create a hurried atmosphere, Zhao Wei and Zhao Jun did not move forward slowly.

Naturally, in order to be able to reach Wuling City as soon as possible, the speed of Zhao Jun's march was unexpectedly fast.

The journey, which was supposed to take two days to arrive, forced Zhao Wei to reach his destination in a day and a half.

Because of being in the hinterland of the Qin State, the Qin army on the city tower even simply checked the token and opened the city gate.

Almost bloodlessly, the Zhao army occupied the last pass to Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is already close at hand, but Zhao Wei has no interest in the territory of Hanzhong, even according to Li Mu's explanation, the troops are divided into three ways.

3,000 troops were stationed in Wuling City to respond to the follow-up main army;

The main army of 35,000 turned to the northwest and approached the Dasanguan;

The 12,000 troops quickly attacked to the southwest, aiming directly at Yangping Pass.

The two armies quickly galloped on the land of Hanzhong in the Qin realm, and such a large-scale march naturally could not hide from the eyes of the county guards in Hanzhong.

It's just that Meng Fu had already explained that the army was about to return from above, and for a while, the county guard of Hanzhong County of Qin State did not have any surprise because of the arrival of the two armies, and even, within the county governance, the county guard also prepared wine and meat to reward the three armies.

It wasn't until Zhao Wei's two armies bypassed the county to govern the western city and went north and south separately that the Hanzhong county guard of the Qin State realized that something was wrong.

Even so, the county guard still did not doubt that these two armies would be played by Zhao Jun.

After all, the armor worn by the two armies is the black armor of the Qin army, and if you want to cross the mountain road, even the three cities of Kefangling, Shangyong, Wuling and Hanzhong, you will not be discovered by yourself, in the eyes of the county guard, it is simply impossible.

Therefore, the county guard also comforted himself: these two armies must have received strict orders from the front line to rush to the battlefield quickly.

But what the county guard didn't know was that because of Qin Jun's leadership, Zhao Jun really did what he saw was impossible.

Bypassing the western city of the county, the Zhao army marched faster, and almost arrived outside the Dasan Pass and Yangping Pass in the next day.

It was still the same procedure and the same formula, and the Zhao army, who pretended to go to Hangu (Shuzhong) for reinforcements (repairs), quickly gained the trust of the defenders in the Guannai.

In fact, Dasan Pass and Yangping Pass, which only have a few hundred people, even if there are natural dangers, cannot stop the attack of tens of thousands of Zhao troops.

But either way, it's good to be able to reduce some losses.

Once again, Zhao Wei's troops easily occupied Yangping Pass and Dasan Pass, completely dividing the Qin army into three.

Almost at the same moment, the main force of the Zhao army of Li Mu's department finally appeared at the head of Wuling City with the red banner of Zhao characters.

Immediately, more than 100,000 Zhao troops entered the Hanzhong area.

All of a sudden, Hanzhong shook, Guanzhong shook, and Shuzhong shook......

The county guard of Hanzhong County, who was the first to know the news, sat down on the ground with a dead heart.

Although there has been no news from Dasan Pass and Yangping Pass, the county guard knows that the two Zhao troops who went around Xicheng two days ago must have gone to these two places.

Until this moment, there has been no news, and there is only one possibility, that is, Zhao Jun has quietly taken the pass, so that the news can be sealed.

What?

Passing through Xicheng was the Qin army who was chased by the Zhao army?

Even if there is really such an emergency, not to mention supplies or anything, it is always okay to arrange one or two groups of scouts to report to you.

Obviously, if you don't say hello, you can only be friends or foes, and you will bypass yourself for fear of being discovered by yourself.

If this is the case, Wuling will be attacked, Dasanguan and Yangping Pass will be broken, and this land in Hanzhong will really become a dead land.

Rao is facing such an almost desperate situation, but the county guard of Hanzhong County of Qin still did not give up.

He knew too well what it would mean for Qin to lose Hanzhong.

While gathering the troops around the county and requisitioning the people to defend the city, he sent scouts to check the situation in Dasanguan and Yangpingguan.

Of course, at the same time, he also sent a special person to report to Xianyang on the Zhao army's large-scale invasion of Hanzhong.

The idea of the county guard is very simple, if the two passes are still in the hands of his family, it is the best, even if he is gone, he must defend the county to govern the west city and drag Zhao Jun's footsteps as much as possible.

Although the county guard has done everything he can, but the building is about to collapse, how can he, a small county guard in Hanzhong, be able to turn the tide.

In the Yingchuan Battle just past, the Qin State had mobilized almost all of the country's combat strength, and his Hanzhong County had long since left an army worthy of a war.

Even if the county guard tried his best to recruit people, in a short period of time, he could not even recruit more than a thousand people. Including the soldiers and officials gathered, the total number may not exceed more than 2,000 people.

What's more, in the arsenal of Hanzhong County, it has long been empty. Even if the militia was recruited, it would not be able to arm itself at all.

But what he had to face was an army of more than 100,000 Zhao who had been battle-hardened and armed to the teeth.

More than 2,000 soldiers who had just put down their hoes and picked up their swords, and who did not even have armor, faced hundreds of thousands of well-trained soldiers with excellent armor, sharp spears and arrows.

This is no longer a match, but a slaughter.

The miracle did not come because of the efforts of the county guard, and what befell the county was only Li Mu's indifferent iron hooves in the west city of the county administration.

With a wave of his hand, the improvised ladder rushed out in an instant.

Along with the ladder, there are tens of thousands of Zhao Jun's foot soldiers.

Although there was no cloud ladder blessing, the numerical advantage still allowed the Zhao army's dense arrow rain to quickly block the city.

With the sound of "pop, pop", a number of ladders were erected up to the city tower.

"Kill!" Holding high the long knife in his hand, Captain Zhao quickly gave the order to siege the city.

Immediately, tens of thousands of Zhao troops climbed the ladder and charged towards the city.

There were no rolling logs, no arrows, and even a very limited number of spears that could be protruded, and with the exception of a few unlucky ones who were poked down the ladder, most of the Zhao soldiers had rushed to the top of the city almost effortlessly.

There was no way, there were only 2,000 people in total, and there were only more than 500 people on top of each tower, and they were suppressed by the arrows of the Zhao army, and the "Qin army", which had never experienced the battlefield at all, suddenly became a mess.

Not to mention the Qin soldiers below, even the county guards didn't know what to do, and almost watched the soldiers of the Zhao army rush up to the city tower.

After the battle began, there was no suspense in less than a cup of tea.

In front of the well-trained military formation of the Zhao army, this "Qin army" was not a united enemy at all.

The bloody killing quickly broke through the psychological defense line of the "Qin army", but in the blink of an eye, most of the Zhao troops who even climbed the city tower had not yet completed the formation, and the "Qin army" had already run away.

After fighting with the Qin army for so many years, there has never been such a good fight.

Fortunately, Zhao Jun also saw that this group of people was not Qin Jun at all, but just a group of people who had just put down their hoes and were forced to go to the city wall.

Naturally, Zhao Jun did not take advantage of his illness to rush forward and kill these people.

Of course, the few stubborn Qin troops were naturally strangled by the Zhao army.

And as the county guard and his personal soldiers fell in a pool of blood one by one, the gate of the west city of Hanzhong County was immediately opened by the Zhao army.

Hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops rushed into it - Xicheng was declared to have fallen.

With the fall of Xicheng, Li Mu also immediately sent nearly 100,000 reinforcements in the direction of Dasanguan and Yangpingguan.

As for the rest of the Zhao army, they were sent by Li Mu to sweep Hanzhong County.

With the banner of Zhao finally hanging on the Dasanguan and Yangping Passes, it also marked that the entire Hanzhong County had been brought under the control of Zhao.

The only regret is that because of the dedication of the county guards of Hanzhong, Xianyang quickly learned the news that Hanzhong and Dasanguan were attacked and occupied.

Zi Chu, who had already ascended the throne as the king, also couldn't care a lot, and immediately recruited tens of thousands of troops in Guanzhong, and killed the Dasan Pass in a mighty way, trying to take advantage of the fact that the Zhao army was not stable to regain the Dasan Pass.

This time, Zichu was really anxious, and the old Qin people also came out with blood.

Everyone knows that once it will not be dispersed and the land of Hanzhong cannot be returned, it will mean a slow death for the Qin State.

Therefore, Zichu also spared no effort to use force, and in a short period of time, he actually made up an army of 100,000. Among them, the old clans of the Qin State can be regarded as deadly.

Of course, at the same time, Zichu also sent a letter to the county guard of Shuzhong, asking for an immediate counterattack on Yangping Pass.

It's a pity that the county guard in Shuzhong does not have the appeal of Zichu, even if he forcibly recruits soldiers, he will not get a response at all, coupled with the emptiness of the treasury, he dragged out a team of less than 20,000 people and drove to Yangping Pass.

And before the 100,000 troops of Zichu finally arrived at the Dasan Pass, the soldiers and horses in the Dasan Pass had already risen to 80,000.

As for Yangping Pass, although the army is only slightly 50,000 or 60,000 people, it is easy to deal with only 20,000 people in Shuzhong.

What's more, not far away, in the western city of Hanzhong County, Li Mu still has an army of 100,000 in his hand, and he can reinforce the two levels at any time. (Some of the rest of the troops were stationed in Wuling, while others were on their way to escort prisoners.) ）

It can be said that the Zhao army, which has integrated Hanzhong County, is already invincible. The only thing that could bother Zhao Jun was the long supply line.

After a short tentative attack, Zi Chu knew that he was too late.
