Since the Chu army launched an offensive, the important officials in the court and the elders of the Ying clan were waiting for the news of the battle in the main hall. The one-sided news made people depressed and desperate. Xiyi, to the west of Chencang Road, was pulled out by the Chu army. Although this was long as expected by the Guowei Mansion, it was the ancestral land where the Qin people rose, and the tombs of the ancestors of Qin throughout the Qin Dynasty were in Xiyi.

The Chu army invaded Xiyi, whether it was burning the tombs or not, the army would disturb the ancestors. Just like the short sacrifices two years ago, it showed the incompetence of the descendants. The elders comforted Zhao Zheng, but when they thought that they would go to Huangquan after they died, they would face the chastity and complaints from their ancestors, and could not help but shed tears.

The elders here were still wiping their tears, and another news came: The Qiang people attacked Di Dao, but Di Dao was eliminated. Longxi County was in chaos.

"Qiang people!" Zhao Zheng was trembling all over, and the Qin Jiye was about to be ruined in his hand. He grabbed the hilt of the sword and wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide. He heard the Qiang people pull out Didao again, and he said in a lost sense: "Actually, even the Qiang people insulted me, Daqin..."

In the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the Qiang people were still second-class tribes of "one Han to the Five Barbarians", and they were not the same clan as the Huns who had used iron swords and used iron bars. The tradition of Qiang people's good war was first "one Han to the Five Barbarians". After receiving more advanced technology, they passed through the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was "shanghai to the prime minister, Shanxi to the generals", and "the Western Liang soldiers were invincible in the world", and then passed through the peak of the Former Qin of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms, and the last remaining trickle into the Western army of the Song Dynasty, and then slowly disappeared [Note 33].

The Chu State now released the combat power of the Qiang people in advance, allowing the Qiang people to put pressure on the Qin State on the flanks. But in Zhao Zheng's eyes, this was just a group of barbarians who drank blood from Mao Ru. Although he knew they were good at fighting, he didn't expect them to be so good at fighting. Especially since they could actually pull out Didao, when would the barbarians attack the city?!

"King, this is the help of the witch medicine!" Wei Liao explained. "Otherwise, how could the Qiang people quickly pull out Didao?"

"It should be the help of Wu Yao." The court officials in the Mingtang nodded repeatedly. Wu Yao captured the Yiguan Pass and blew up the Blue Water Dike. With preparation, it was not impossible to blow up Didao's city wall. If not, how could Didao, who is the governor of a county, fall so quickly?

"The loss of the edges and corners is a small disease." Wei Liao continued to persuade. "The most urgent thing now is Motianling and Sanguan. The people of Motianling Jing failed to attack at night, and this is God helping me!"

"This is God bless me to the Qin Dynasty." The person who spoke was Li Si. He did not understand military affairs, but he saw that the Chu army attacked the city and storm was like a storm. The Ying army led by King Jing crossed the Qinling Mountains in two days and attacked Lantian. The man turned his face like earth. Wei Liao's consolation seemed to be straw in the water, and he was grabbed tightly in his hands.

"Tell Meng Tian, ​​Motian Ridge must not be lost!" Zhao Zheng read the response plan formulated by the Guowei Mansion and knew the importance of Motian Ridge. Although he did not regard Wei Liao's words as straw in the water, he was also a little nervous whether the Qin army led by Meng Tian could really defend Motian Ridge. If he could not defend, Qin would be about to destroy his country.

The Yuanwu Mountain mentioned by the natives is the Motian Ridge mentioned by Wei Liao and Zhao Zheng. The reason for using this name is that our army naturally occupies a natural danger. The top of this mountain is five feet away from the sky and is within reach of touch. Although Meng Tian had already arranged it, the Chu army's surprise attack from this direction was indeed very unexpected to the Qin army. However, after thinking about the geographical calculations in the shogunate, he had to nod to Meng Tian. Go north from Baoxi Road, walk a hundred miles and suddenly advances northwest and inserts into the Chencang Road. It is indeed geographically feasible.

The only inconvenience is that you have to cross the Motianling Mountains to connect to the Chencang Road. The Chencang Road is a waterway, and it is obviously inconvenient to take a dry road to business trips, but it is not impossible to use troops to walk this road. Compared to the Chencang Waterway under the two mountains, this road across the ridge is much easier. At least, the foot of the Chu army is not a sunken boat with deep and shallow water, but a solid land.

"Who is that?" On the Motian Ridge, General Meng Tian, ​​with bloody armor and tired face, pointed to someone below the Ridge. The man's hair and beard were all white, and he described his appearance as strong. Although someone was holding a flag behind him, there was no wind at this time, and there was no sign of embroidered on the flag.

"I don't know who this person is." The left and right generals didn't recognize him, and the trusted Meng Gong didn't recognize him.

"Or Lu General Dongyegu." Someone speculated.

"Dongyegu is far away in Qi." Meng Gong shook his head. "And if it were Dongyegu, why didn't you see the general's flag?"

The older generals in the Chu army were not many, and the younger generations were aggressive. Such a gray-haired general led to the front line to command, which could not be a general, and the left and right generals could only be a division leader.

"It should be Zhao general Pang Nuan." A voice came out from the crowd, which was Hou Zhengzao. "More than ten years ago, the countries joined forces to attack me, but they could not get rid of me. The villain had seen this person."

"Pang Nuan?!" Everyone present was surprised, including Meng Tian. Pang Nuan should be a general of the same generation as Meng Ao. After King Zhao Daoxiang died, he was dismissed. Everyone in the world thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, he was not only alive, but also could go to the front line to command the battle.

"What are this person's habits and what will happen to him?" Meng Tian suddenly increased. Standing on the top of the mountain with the wind blowing, his vest was also sweating.

There are not many people in the world who know Pang Nuan, but many people who know Pang Nuan. In addition to the strange soldiers who crossed the river to attack Qin and killed Ju Xin in the first battle, Pang Nuan also destroyed the Yan State with Li Mu. Such a general appeared in front of his formation, and he couldn't help but let the general lead his strategists breathe tightly. Especially this person is good at using strange soldiers. Isn't the night attack the day before yesterday the same as the strange soldiers?

"So quickly order the cavalry to detect it along the mountain, but if there is a mountain pass, you must be careful." Meng Tian's solution was to defend it without any leakage, so that Pang Nuan could take advantage of it. "General Qi..."

"The last general is here." The lieutenant in charge of Xianyang and the palace security, the guard and the guards once again strengthened the Qin army in the field. The main general was Qi Qian, who was good at shooting. The entourage holding the longbow, wanted to shoot Pang Nuan to death with one arrow, but it was too far apart.

"Today, Lieutenant, the two armies of Guard are stationed on the ridge, how about?" Looking at Qi He and looking at the Guard picture beside him, Meng Tian said in this way.

"The last general Jingnuo." Pang Nuan appeared at the foot of the ridge. The Chu army would definitely attack Motianling. Qi He had a little worried but also answered loudly. Weiweitu's voice was much smaller. When the Chu army invaded Qin Palace that year, he led people to defend the death. After the war, he crawled out of the dead and survived after the Chu army doctors. Weiweitu, who had died once, did not react much to Meng Tian's general, and his whole body was cold, and his promise was also cold.

"General, Motianling is stationed by them, how about us?" In addition to the Qin generals, Meng Tian also stood by some Langzhong Ba people chiefs. However, most of them did not speak Qin language elegantly, and only one Xia person like Yu Ying spoke on behalf of him. Langzhong Ba people have seven surnames, which means Xia Yan: Luo, Pu, Ju, E, Du, Xi, Gong. The scholars are not from the seven surnames, but their relationship is very close to the seven surnames tribe.

"Why are you anxious?" Meng Tian spoke cordially to this scholar named Fan Mei. "The Ba people should rest after fighting for a long time."

The Ba people in Langzhong were an important reliance for the Qin State to rule Bashu, and Meng Tian did not believe them. The elders of their clan, such as the famous widow Qing, was closely linked to the fate of Qin State. Although the Chu State wanted to persuade them to surrender, since the Chu State supported the founding of the Jinjun Ba people, the Ba people in Langzhong were incompatible with the Chu State because they were incompatible with the Jinjun Ba people.

The fighting power of the Ba people in Langzhong in this era was stronger than that of the Qiang people. Unfortunately, they were not good at fighting in formations like the Qiang people, and they did not have the sword and shield formation that could be long or short, thick or thin. Therefore, Meng Tian was worried that they would guard the Motianling. Meng Tian persuaded Fan Mu and asked someone to tell the leader of the seven surnames that the king sent someone to send rewards. The seven chiefs changed their expressions and happily took the people down the ridge.

"That's the Qin general Meng Tian?" When Meng Tian on the ridge comforted Baren, Pang Nuan, who was holding Lu Lijing, surrounded him into the sight.

"It's Meng Tian." Pang Nuan was surrounded by him, but Cheng Tong, as the chief general of Chen Cang, was by his side.

"It's so young!" Pang Nuan didn't know much about Meng Tian. His first impression of Meng Tian was that he was in his 80s was that he was young.

"It's indeed young." Cheng Tong smiled. After Pang Nuan said this, he also felt that Meng Tian was too young. At the age of liberation, he became a general of Qin and controlled the Qin army alone. The King of Qin was indeed outstanding in employing people.

"Young people must be full of energy, but this person..." Pang Nian put away Lu Lijing and shook his head.

Since the attack on Hanzhong of Chu, Meng Wu has brought countless troubles to the Chu army, causing repeated delays in the war. Such a young general is not leaking, and it is rare to find a gap.

"This is why the people of Ba are good at fighting." Cheng Tong did not agree with Pang Nuan's point of view. The Chu and Qin armies were not without fighting in the past three months of waiting for material transportation, and the two armies were still fighting frequently. Of course, the Chu army was not familiar with the terrain of the Chu army and was not convenient for large-scale mountain wars. The main attack was the junba people. The junba people and the 100-year-old Ba people in Langzhong. When they met, they wanted to eat meat and sleep, crush their bones and ashes, and the battle was extremely fierce.

As a result of the battle, most of the battles were won by the Ba people in Langzhong. Even if the Junba people were equipped with the Juba people. Once these Juba people were captured, the Junba people who had the advantage of the military armor could not support it in the later stage of the battle. Only with the help of the Chu army, the Junba people won several battles. The fundamental reason was that the tribal warriors were destroyed and withered under a hundred years of enslavement, just like the modern and modern army lacked qualified non-commissioned officers, and the Junba people's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

"No matter how good the Ba people are to fight, they cannot withstand the attack of cannons. This is actually Meng Tian's calmness." After all, Pang Nuan personally led the troops from the five countries to attack Qin, and did not advocate the power of cannons. He looked up at the top of Motianling and sighed: "The surprise attack cannot be completed, this is a difficult battle. Now the Qin people are at a high position and can attack me with only rolling wood and stones. The Grand Sima also pitys the soldiers..."
