The war begins and ends, and it takes no more than an hour.

During the Battle of Tankou, the Qin army annihilated 10,000 enemies and captured 40,000 prisoners. Without allowing the Qi army to flee, they were all chased back by the cavalry of the Ningta Legion, while the Qin army suffered only more than 80 people.

At the same time, Shuhe!

There are three levels on the border between the Yue Dynasty and the Shu Dynasty. The three levels are divided into upper, middle and lower. Shangguan is Shuhe, Zhongguan is Shushan, Xiaguan is Shuxia, and the three major Yueshu checkpoints are all important places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially Shuhe!

The Shu River was originally a vast river, but it had dried up and turned into a vast and flat riverbed. The riverbed was high in the west and the east was low in the east. Shu was in the west and the moon was in the east. If you march from the east, you must rush up to the west bank of the high and slanted riverbed.

Even if the army successfully rushes to the west coast, there is a large valley on the west coast. The large valley is in a concave shape, two highs and one low. If you want to pass through the large valley, you can only go into the middle trough. The enemy will set up troops at the two highs. Whether it is shooting arrows or dropping huge rocks, you can kill the underestimated army without any dead ends.

The Shu Dynasty also built a fortress in the import of the Great Valley, which made it even more impoverished!

"boom--"

"Boom--"

At this time, the violent explosions on the west bank of the Shu River were heard endlessly. The Shu army on the west bank was overturned by the bombed people. On the dry riverbed thousands of steps east of the west bank, two hundred ugly cattle-style artillery were arranged in five rows, constantly roaring towards the west bank and the fortress of the valley.

On the east bank, 300,000 black-armored troops were facing each other across the bank. Under the banner of the central army, the left general Yang Zhong cavalry watched the situation on the west coast on the horse. Seeing that the Shu army on the west coast were defeated in an instant, Yang Zhong was deeply moved and full of awe of this ugly cow-style artillery.

Before the Yanshui army evacuated from the Southern Wei battlefield, he did not know the existence of the Chou Niu artillery, nor did he know that his Yanshui camp had also divided ten direct artillery battalions. It was not until the army returned to the court that he knew the existence and power of the Chou Niu artillery.

After the 30,000 Yanshui Army took a leave and replenished 70,000 troops, he brought the 100,000 Yanshui Camp reorganized troops back to Yanshui Camp. Before he arrived at the Yanshui Camp, he received news that the Ministry of War expanded its troops and attacked Shu on May 1st.

So after the troops expanded to 300,000, that is, on April 1, he led the Yanshui Camp's 300,000 army and ten direct artillery battalions to Shuhe. Yanshui Pass was not far from Shuhe, only four or five hundred miles away, but because the road was difficult to walk, and the ugly cow-style artillery was too heavy, it took a month to get there for a distance that could be reached in a few days.

The Shu Dynasty may not know that the Great Qin attacked Shu, so the Shu River only had 50,000 troops. Originally, Yang Zhong thought that the Shu army would flee in a panic when they saw the Qin army, and did not need to use artillery at all. Who would have thought that the Shu army relied on the barrier of the Shu River and did not retreat, but instead laid more than 30,000 crossbowmen and crossbow vehicles on the west bank, and also set up troops and horses on the high ground on both sides of the valley.

The west bank belongs to the high ground. If the Qin army launches a strong attack, compared with an attack, the Shu army can shoot and kill the invading Qin army at a high altitude, and even dive to counterattack the Qin army. In order to be on the safe side, Yang Zhong set up ten direct artillery battalions under the riverbed thousands of steps away from the west bank!

That's why the West Bank was bombarded.

"Boom--"

"Help!"

"Run!"

"The Qin army has the help of heavenly thunder, retreat! Withdraw!"

“Retreat the valley!”

"Retreat quickly!"

The Shu army on the west bank was frightened and shouted shrillly in the sound of artillery fire. Seeing his comrades being blown into pieces of meat without warning, the Shu army soldiers were completely in a state of morale, no fighting spirit, and only endless fear in their hearts.

As the Qin army's artillery positions continued to be bombard the west bank, most of the 30,000 crossbowmen were killed and injured by the generals of the Shu army on the west bank, and the chariots and crossbows were also blown into wood chips. The Shu army, who escaped the shelling, rushed into the valley. Now, only by staying in the valley can they give them a sense of security.

The West Bank is lost!

Yang Zhong saw the situation on the West Bank, and he had no time to shock him. He waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Infantry charge, seize the West Bank, remember to only capture the West Bank, not the valley, stand by outside the valley, and stay behind to stand by!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Abide by the order!"

Right General Yang Yi and Lieutenant General Yang Wu responded one after another.

Soon, in front of the military order, the Qin army's 250,000 infantry soldiers with distinctive armor rushed down the riverbed, crossed the artillery position and rushed to the west bank. The artillery position immediately stopped firing, and the artillery began to prepare to move the artillery position.

The artillery soldiers knew very well that at this distance, they could only hit the fortress of the Great Valley and could not carry out a cover bombing inside the Great Valley. When the army took the west coast, they would definitely move the artillery position forward. The closer they were to the Great Valley, the larger the range of artillery being caught.

"kill!!"

"The Qin army is mighty!"

A loud shout sounded, and the riverbed was covered with dense Qin troops, which made the Shu army frightened.

Just as the Qin army began to attack the west bank, a veteran in blue armor looked at the tragic scene in amazement on a rock on the top of the valley. The veteran was Du Qi, the guardian of Shuhe, who was a member of the Shu royal family. He was appointed as the second-rank general of Tianhe. He was the imperial uncle of Shu Emperor Du Jiao.

Du Qi was completely stunned. The heavy troops laid on the west bank were easily defeated by the Qin army. In less than half a stick of incense, 30,000 defenders on the west bank were dead and fleeing, and their defense became zero.

Du Qi was a veteran after all, and he did not give up completely. He was wise and guessed that the thunder in the mouth of the soldiers was the behemoth of the Qin army placed on the riverbed. Although he didn't know what the thing was called, it must be the Qin army's new equipment anyway.

"I am passing on the military order. The entire army reaches the high point. Be sure to withstand the Qin army's offensive. The Shu River must not be lost!" Du Qi ordered with a solemn expression!

Even though the enemy is large and we are few and we are lost on the west bank, Du Qi still doesn't think that the Qin army can conquer the big valley. Do you really think that the terrain of Shu is a joke?

"The general has an order, and the whole army will reach the high point!"

"Come up quickly!"

After ordering, the Shu army at the high points on both sides of the Great Valley shouted loudly to the remaining soldiers on the west bank who were fleeing into the valley. When the remaining soldiers on the West Bank heard these words, they began to climb the valley and climb to the high points on both sides. The valley was not easy to climb. If it were someone else, only one person might be able to climb up the ten people.

But the Shu army is the master of this area and has already been proficient in climbing mountain rocks. It is not difficult for them to climb up the high points on both sides of the valley.

Just as the remnants of the west bank were climbing the cliffs in the valley, the Qin army soldiers successively climbed the west bank and quickly controlled the west bank. The west bank was still relatively vast, with an open area of ​​more than 500 steps in front and back. After climbing to the west bank, the fortresses in the big valley were also presented to the eyes of the Qin army soldiers.
