Chapter Seventy-One: The Battle of Tianshui

However, the three counties in the northwest are still ownerless cities, not under the jurisdiction of Xiang, nor are they the territory of Shu, so there is no military force in the city. It is not surprising that the Zhao army was able to successfully take Anding City, but why did the whole army march towards Tianshui yesterday and fail to capture it today?

Could it be that Shu sent troops to reinforce it? Jin Chao thought in his heart, after Tianshui, it is Hanzhong, Hanzhong is the northern boundary of Shu, if Tianshui is lost, the northern border of Shu is difficult to be safe, and open up this road, Zhao will definitely send masters from this road to attack and disturb the countries. Therefore, guarding Tianshui City is not only the responsibility of Jin Dynasty, Li Su, Zhong Lijun and other Tianshui Erlang, but also related to the tranquility of Chen, Xiang, Shu and Wu. This is why both Xiang and Chen have sent people.

In this battle, it is not only Tianshui that is guarded, but also the world!

"Drive!"

At this time, at the north gate of Tianshui City, the city gate was closed, and under the city wall, there were several cloud ladders burned by fire oil and the corpses of dozens of Zhao soldiers. In the Zhao army's array, a young general was angrily rushing to the crown, didn't Shuicheng have no military strength this day? Why was it that as soon as the ladder was put up on the city wall, it was lit with fire oil, and before the soldiers could climb it, they were stabbed down by the long sword, only to see that the men and women on the city wall were not people in the army, but the militia who spontaneously asked for battle?

Settle down in a battle, successfully succeeded, this young general is named Zhao Lie, the ancestor is also a branch of the Zhao royal family, but to his generation, the emperor's grace is weak, he has practiced martial arts since childhood, and wants to seize this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he asked for orders to capture Tianshui, he only said that it was just a coercion and temptation under the city, and he could take it, who knew that it didn't work at all, and he had to order the siege of the city, and after a day, the city was not captured, and he also lost dozens of people, which made him have the face to go back and explain! Zhao Lie looked at the city wall, gritted his teeth and roared, "Knock the city gate open for me!" Be sure to conquer Tianshui today! Then he raised his head and shouted to the city tower: "The people on the city wall listen to me, don't make useless resistance, if you don't surrender again, after the general enters the city, he will kill you and wait for a dead body!" ”

The soldiers of Zhao State hit the city gate again and again with a rushing car, Tianshui is a small city, the city gate is not strong, after a while, only a boom was heard, and the two city gates were knocked to the ground.

The city gate collapsed, setting off a burst of dust that had not been cleared for a long time, and the dust settled, Zhao Lie saw clearly that there were more than 100 young men and women standing in the door, all dressed in brocade, holding long swords, facing the army or frightened, many people's hands holding swords were still trembling. Zhao Lie's heart calmed down a little, these people didn't look like militiamen, but like a group of sons and ladies from rich families, who were forced to defend the city at the moment. He didn't think that these well-pampered sons and daughters of the family could compete with the elite of his Zhao Kingdom!

"If you beg, you can live!" Zhao Lie shouted loudly into the city.

"Guts dog thief, get off the horse and fight!" A middle-aged woman with a long sword rushed out of the crowd, she shouted, and the long sword rushed towards the soldiers of Zhao in front of the city gate, the blue light flashed, and the sword points spread out like flying flowers, and stabbed at the enemies on all sides. The woman didn't love to fight, she glanced coldly, locked Zhao Lie's position, and then rushed towards him with her sword.

Zhao Guo lives in Hebei, the people are brave, seeing the woman single-handedly rushing out, all the faces are full of admiration and admiration, Zhao Lie saw that her martial arts are good, so he asked: "I didn't think that there is such a heroic lady in Tianshui City, dare to ask the lady honorific title?" ”

"Qingxiu Sword Sect, Hu Shaping!"
