    The battle for Tianjiaping Fortress reached a fever pitch in a very short period of time. After all, Gou Xin came from a famous family, and he made the most correct decision. Not long after the Han army launched its attack, he  Knowing the situation he is facing, if he allows the opponent to continue fighting like this, soon the city wall he wants to rely on will be completely defeated by the opponent, and it will also cause a serious blow to his soldiers. The only one who has a chance of victory is  Fighting with his opponent, preventing the opponent's most powerful weapons from exerting their power. After sending a group of soldiers to try to kill the opponent's engineers and successfully attracting the opponent, he immediately abandoned the soldiers leaving the city and closed the city gate tightly.  On the city, he used crossbows or trebuchets to throw crushed stone bombs to cause damage to the enemy. Once the opponent retreated, he immediately sent soldiers to pursue him, thus attracting the opponent back and repeating the killing.  Although Jiang Fu has fought many battles, as a battalion-level commander, this is the first time he has commanded such a battle. After being hooked by Gou Xin, he suffered heavy losses in several consecutive attacks.  .  But this also inspired Jiang Fu's bloody nature.  Jiang Fu¡¯s eyes turned red when he saw that although his subordinates killed all the Qin soldiers who rushed out of the city, the covering fire on the city also caused his subordinates to lie down below the city.  "Artillery, three volleys. Guard platoon, follow me." He shouted loudly.  Amidst the roar of artillery, Jiang Fu jumped out from the position with a big knife in his hand and ran forward wildly. Cannonballs were flying above his head. Jiang Fu was running wildly on the ground. With the sound of loud noises, rubble on the top of the city was heard.  With a splash, another wall was smashed, and Jiang Fu had already rushed to the bottom of the city.  "Ladder," he roared.  With a bang, a ladder stood up and leaned against the blasted hole in the wall.  Jiang Fu put the knife in his mouth, used his hands and feet to climb up quickly.  Two push rods on the city hold up the top of the ladder.  They tried their best to push the ladder away, but the Han soldiers under the city held the ladder tightly.  The Qin army leaned out and rained arrows down on the soldiers below. At such a distance, even if they were wearing armor, they could not withstand the attack of the arrows. Several soldiers were shot like hedgehogs and were soaked in blood.  The armor flows all the way down the body to the ground.  But as long as they still had breath, these soldiers would hold on to the ladder with both hands and hang on the ladder with their own body weight to prevent the ladder from being pushed away.  The second round of shells was fired, and the impact point was still at the same position. The ladder that was pushed away fell back with a clang. The broken arms and limbs of the Qin soldiers were flying above the city. Jiang Fu had already climbed to the top of the ladder.  , his head emerged from the gap and was seen at first glance.  More than a dozen Qin soldiers were getting up from the ground, roaring and rushing towards his position.  Jiang Fu himself was shaken by the explosion of the artillery just now, and his mind was buzzing.  His hands and feet were extremely sore for a while, and he struggled to climb up the city wall. He took out a grenade from his arms, lit the fuse on a pile of fire that was still burning beside him, waited a moment, and threw the grenade out.  With a roar, more than a dozen Qin soldiers who rushed to block the gap suddenly fell into a pool of blood.  After rolling from the wall to the inside, Jiang Fu finally regained some strength and roared angrily.  He raised his sword and pounced on the Qin army in front of him, behind him.  One after another, Han troops climbed up.  Behind him, dozens of Han troops gathered in the blink of an eye.  I saw that the city wall was breached at one point.  Gou Xin couldn't help but be shocked. If the city wall was broken through at one point, if the loophole was not blocked quickly, even a long embankment thousands of miles long could collapse in an ant nest.  "Follow me and kill the Han dogs." He roared loudly and rushed towards Jiang Fu. Behind him, hundreds of Qin soldiers rushed over with shouts. They were all veterans and knew their priorities.  The third round of artillery fired again, and this time the impact point was tens of meters on either side of the city wall that had just been broken through. Amidst the roar, Gou Xin felt like the world was spinning, his legs went weak, and he suddenly jumped  Falling to the ground, he turned his head with difficulty on the ground. The shell just landed in the crowd of Qin soldiers behind him, causing huge damage.  The rotating, hot fireball took away countless lives in an instant.  The Qin troops on the city were dumbfounded by such an attack. For a moment, more Han troops rushed onto the city wall.  Jiang Fu turned around, looked at the artillery position still filled with smoke, and praised loudly: "What a fool, if this shot is deflected, I will go to see King Yama, and I will ask you for credit later.  " Getting up from the ground, the aftermath of the explosion still made him dizzy, but he still held on and rushed towards the nearest Qin soldier.  "Kill!" Jiang Fu roared angrily: "Brother Crab, let's see my brother avenge you." There was a massacre on the city. Below the city, the city gate was also blown open by Han Army engineers. More Han Army soldiers poured in and hooked  ??Looking at his fortress in despair, from the beginning of the war to now, in less than an hour, the once seemingly impregnable Tianjiaping Fortress was about to fall.  "General, leave quickly, or you won't be able to leave." His soldiers dragged the frustrated Gou Xin away.  The battle started in the early morning, and before noon, calm had returned to the battlefield. Tianjiaping Fortress was no longer in shape. There were blasted holes and broken walls everywhere, which was shocking.  The soldiers began to clean the battlefield, but Jiang Fu walked up to the cannon, stroked the cannon body that was still warm, and murmured: "With you, the future wars will be very different."  Attack and defense are no longer a natural chasm.  In Lubin City, one after another messengers rushed into Xu Yahua's general office. Starting from this morning, the Han army began to enter. By noon, the first bad news came. Tianjiaping Fortress was lost and Tianjiaping was lost.  Xiyangping and Huangshiping must not be able to defend it. Sure enough, less than half an hour after Tianjiaping was lost, the other two fortresses were also lost. The third division of the Han Army's 20th Army was passing through the war zone.  , quickly rushed towards Lu Bin.  "Half a day, half a day, all three fortresses garrisoned by five thousand soldiers were lost." Xu Yahua put his hands on the edge of the sand table and looked at the miniature model of the Lubin Fortress defense area in front of him. He thought it was Tianjiaping and Xiyangping.  , after the three small towns of Huangshiping, and before the Lubin Fortress area, there is no longer any danger to defend.  "General Xu, the number of soldiers who have escaped from the front line is increasing. At present, there are about 1,500 people gathered. My subordinates found the officers among them. They all mentioned that the Han army has a new weapon. The city wall is in front of this weapon.  , It can't be resisted at all, and a big piece will collapse when it explodes," Lieutenant General Qian Shouyi said worriedly.  "New weapons?" Xu Yahua turned around.  Over the years, he had been a little numb to the Han Dynasty's new things, but it was a little unusual that the Qin army officers in the three places mentioned this weapon at the same time.  Qian Shouyi took out a few pieces of paper and placed them in front of Xu Yahua. "Based on the descriptions of the officers and some soldiers, I drew a rough appearance of this thing. It must be powered by gunpowder and explode."  At that time, a large amount of smoke was generated, and an iron ball weighing more than ten kilograms was sent to the city, causing a lot of damage to our city walls and soldiers." Looking at the things on the picture, Xu Yahua sighed slightly.  "Are you reporting to Hanguguan in a hurry?" "The messenger left early in the morning, and now the second wave has also left. I didn't expect that we couldn't hold on for even a day in Tianjiaping and other places." Qian Shouyi sighed, his eyes  The worry inside was extremely obvious. Although Lubin City was much taller and more solid than the later fortresses such as Tianjiaping, could it really be defended?  "Defending must be difficult." Xu Yahua looked at the sand table, "The opponent has such a powerful siege weapon. If we can't retreat, we will have to be beaten passively." "What do you mean, general?" "The Han army must not have thought of it.  We are not busy reinforcing the city wall and preparing for defense. Instead, we are going out to seek field battles. Shouyi, you lead five thousand men to attack. I will give you all the two thousand cavalry in my army. You must kill one.  The opponent is powerful and the Han army is strong, but we Qin people are not easy to mess with. Only when we attack can we defend." Xu Yahua looked at Qian Shouyi with bright eyes.  "General, I will obey your order." Qian Shouyi responded loudly, turned around and strode out.  At Hangu Pass, several groups of messengers arrived almost one after another. The first letter Lu Chao saw was that the Han army had launched an attack, but the second letter stated that Tianjiaping and other places had been lost, and the Lubin Fortress area had been exposed to the Han army.  In front of the army's attack surface.  "It came so fast." Lu Chao said in silence. Not even two days after Gao Yuan arrived in Jinyang, the Han army's attack had already begun, which caught Lu Chao off guard.  If Lubin falls, Hangu Pass will face his opponent directly. This is something Lu Chao doesn't want to see, but he wants reinforcements, and his focus is not here at the moment. Xianyang and other places in Qin are already in close competition.  The ground began to prepare. If troops were transferred to Lubin at this time, the previous preparations would most likely be in vain.  Gao Yuan, what do you want to do?  Are you really prepared to fight with me at Hanguguan?  Lu Chao took a deep breath. The reason why he dared to do this was that he was sure that Gao Yuan had the intention of making a profit, and he just wanted to use Gao Yuan's intention to get something out of the fire and get rid of the impossibility.  Fight for a chance of survival.  But the Han army's attack and advance were too fast.  "General, another envoy from Lubin is here." A guard rushed in and shouted loudly.  "What? Could it be that Lu Bin also fell?" Lu Chao lost his voice.  "No, no, General Xu won at Lubin and defeated the 3rd Division of the 20th Army of the Han Army. Now the Han Army has recovered." The guard said happily.?? shouted triumphantly.  To be continued.
