In the next two days, the [-] Qin army led by Xu Feng began to attack at dawn in the morning and ended in the evening.

 But unfortunately, none of the Han troops in the city retreated and failed to break through Nanzheng City.

 Even Xu Feng did not hesitate to launch a night attack, but Wang Ling had been prepared in the city for a long time, and the Qin army did not succeed.

 Even at this time, the morale of the Qin army was high, well-equipped, and well-prepared, but the defenders had too much advantage.

 Nanzheng City is also the city of Hanzhong County, with tall walls and a large number of people in the city.

 After Wang Ling started the battle, he urgently recruited [-] young men from the city to participate in the defense of the city.

 Therefore, even if the Qin army has obvious advantages, it is difficult to capture Nanzheng City in a short period of time. Wangling is also very capable.

 The three-day storm also cost the Qin army 4000 casualties.

 So many casualties have been paid in just three days of siege, which is already very terrifying.

 "Your Majesty, the soldiers suffered too many casualties, should we let the soldiers rest for two days before attacking!"

 Some soldiers of the Qin Army were horrified by the high casualties of the Qin Army, so they proposed to Xu Feng.

 "No, the siege cannot be stopped for a day.

 We had many casualties, and the casualties of the Han army in the city were also indispensable.

 Within a week, Nanzheng City must be captured. "

 This time Xu Feng also showed a cold-blooded side, and he said this to the generals of the Qin Army under his command.

 "promise."

 What Xu Feng said was indeed correct. At this time, the royal tomb in Nanzheng City was also worried about the heavy casualties of the Han army under his command.

 Although the Qin army paid three to 4000 casualties in the three-day siege, the Han army defending the city suffered no less than this number.

 This was unbearable for Wang Ling.

 It stands to reason that the casualties of the defending side should be far less than that of the attacking side.

 But this time, the Qin army is well-equipped, and it has created many siege weapons that will only be found in later generations, making the Qin army's siege even sharper.

 This put more pressure on the city defenders, and the casualties of the city defenders naturally increased.

 When Xu Feng was attacking the city frantically, [-] Qin troops led by Guo Jia also went south to a pass called Qingfeng Gorge and set up camp here.

 Originally, there was a small camp built by the Han army here, and they refused to guard the pass.

 After all, the terrain here is dangerous, and it is the main passage connecting Hanzhong and Shu in the south, so the Han army should naturally be in their hands.

 After Guo Jia led the [-] Qin army to arrive here, he launched a sneak attack at night, successfully defeated the Han army, and took control of Qingfeng Gorge.

 "This is the only passage from the north to Nanzheng, as long as we hold this place, we will not let the reinforcements of the Han army pass through.

 It can buy enough time for His Majesty to attack the city, so within a week, no Han army will be allowed to pass here. "

 Guo Jia summoned many generals of the Qin army and said solemnly.

 "General Lu, I have to trouble you this time."

 Guo Jia turned to look at Lu Zhishen and said.

 "Haha, military adviser, don't say that. If you have any orders, just give them."

 "it is good."

 At the same time, Cao Shen led the [-] Han army, and after leaving the city, they marched northward at a rapid pace.

 Originally, it took a week's journey, but it took only four days for Cao Can to lead the army.

 When the time came to October 26, the fifth year of Qin II, that is, six days after Xu Feng besieged Nanzheng City, Cao Can led the army to Qingfeng Gorge.

 "Report, Han soldiers and horses were found in the south."

 As soon as Cao Shen led the army here, Guo Jia received a report from the scouts sent out to monitor the movement in the south.

 "Have you come? It's pretty fast."

 "Send an order to General Lu, let him lead the army out of the village."

 Soon, Lu Zhishen, who received Guo Jia's order, led eight thousand Qin troops to leave their camp and formed a formation in the long and narrow area of ​​Qingfeng Gorge.

 The terrain here in Qingfeng Gorge is extremely dangerous, with steep cliffs on both sides, and there is no way around.

 If Cao Shen wanted to go north to help Nanzheng City, he could only kill the Qin army and pass through here.

 "General, the Qin Army was found in the valley."

 Soon, Cao Shen was also reported by the soldiers.

 In fact, on the way Cao Shen led the army northward, he had already received the news of the fall of Qingfeng Gorge from the soldiers of the Han army who had fled back from Qingfeng Gorge.

 Therefore, when Cao Shen heard that there was a Qin army in Qingfeng Gorge at this time, he was not surprised, but only dignified.

 Cao Shen is also very familiar with the topography of Qingfeng Gorge.

 It was precisely because of understanding that Cao Shen looked so dignified after learning that Qin Jun had taken control of Qingfeng Gorge.

 "How many troops does the Qin army have?"

 Cao Shen asked.

 "Returning to the general, I don't know how many Qin troops are in the village, but the Qin army that is blocking Qingfeng Gorge this time has about 8000 to [-] people."

 "Seven 8000 people?"

 Cao Shen fell silent and did not speak for a while.

 "Cao Shen, what are you thinking, just a few Qin troops, give me 1 people, and I will crush them for you in an hour.

 Wang Ling is still waiting for our support in Nanzheng. "

 Fan Kuai, who was impatient, couldn't wait any longer, so he roared loudly.

 "Fan Kuai, don't worry.

 Since Qin Jun dared to stop us here, he must have something to rely on.

 We must not be careless. "

 "As long as you think too much, what do you think we should do now?"

 "Lu Wan, you lead 1 horses, and first fight against the Qin army in the valley to test the reality of the Qin army."

 After Cao Shen thought about it, he said to Lu Wan who was beside him.

 "promise."

 Immediately, Lu Wan ordered [-] Han soldiers to fight.

 "kill!"

 The two armies immediately fought fiercely in Qingfeng Valley.

 "Haha, kill me!"

 Lu Zhishen held the heavy Zen stick in his hand, roared excitedly, and led the Qin army's infantry to fight with the ten thousand Han troops who came over.

 Peng!

 A Han infantry directly hit Lu Zhishen's Zen stick, and then suddenly a tattered sandbag was thrown flying, flying seven or eight steps away, and his chest was sunken.

 "Haha, happy!"

 Lu Zhishen roared, and then strode out, every step was firm and powerful.

 Bang bang bang!

 The Zen stick in Lu Zhishen's hand weighed more than 60 catties, and his moves were opened and closed. No one could carry the Han soldiers who were hit by him.

 This time the two armies fought, there was no strategy at all, it was a face-to-face fight, and the morale and will of the two armies were compared.

 The advantages of the Qin army's comprehensive equipment of iron weapons and iron armor are gradually revealed.

 The bronze weapons in the hands of Han soldiers were too easy to break, which was extremely deadly on the battlefield.

 After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the [-] Han soldiers led by Lu Wan not only failed to kill the Qin army, but were defeated by the Qin army and retreated.

 "kill!"

 After the Han army was defeated and retreated, Lu Zhishen led the Qin army to chase for three miles before stopping the pursuit, and then retreated into Qingfeng Gorge.

 "The humble job is not effective in combat, and I ask for punishment."

 After Lu Wan came back, she knelt down in front of Cao Shen and pleaded guilty.

 "General Lu doesn't need to blame himself, the defeat in the First World War is nothing.

 The general sent you to lead the battle, originally to find out the reality of the enemy, and now you have done it.

 Tell us, after this battle, what do you know about the Qin army in the valley. "

 "Yes."

 Lu Wan replied.

 "The general of the Qin army leading the army in the valley is a burly monk with a bald head, holding an iron staff, and suddenly talking confusedly, no one can stop him alone.

 These Qin army infantry in the valley are extremely elite and cooperate with each other tacitly.

 The most important thing is that these Qin troops are all men in armor. "

 Lu Wan told Cao Shen what he saw.

 "What? They are all men in armor, how is this possible?"

 After Cao Shen heard Lu Wan's words, he couldn't believe it.

 "Yes, they are all wearing armor, which greatly reduces the lethality of our long swords on them."

 "Cao Shen, you have finished testing, what do you say now?"

 Fan Kuai continued to urge.

 Naturally, Cao Shen couldn't think of any good solution. It was the terrain here that made them not have many choices.

 If they want to go north to rescue Nanzheng, they can only pass through Qingfeng Gorge.

 Now the Qin army is stationed in Qingfeng Gorge, the only way is to defeat the Qin army.

 "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Order the soldiers to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then follow my general to kill him. He must kill him."

 Cao Shen couldn't think of a way, so he had to use the simplest way.

 Half a day later, fighting resumed in Qingfeng Gorge.

 This time, Cao Shen also went all out, allowing more than 3 of the [-] Han troops he brought to participate in the attack.

 Cao Shen wanted to kill him in one go.

 At this time, the time has come to compare the fighting will of the two armies.

 On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides are fighting desperately, thinking about killing the opponent, it depends on which side can't hold on first, and its will collapses.

 "kill!"

 Holding a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other, Fan Kui led a small elite infantry of the Han army, broke through the attacks of several infantry of the Qin army one after another, and went straight to the middle army of the Qin army to kill.

 "Ugly man, don't be crazy, your grandpa is here!"

 Soon, Lu Zhishen also found Fan Kuai, roared, and rushed to kill him.

 "Damn it, you're ugly, I'll see if I don't kill you."

 Fan Kuai cursed and went up to meet him.

 Bang bang bang!

 The two fought together, and Chang Ge and the Zen staff collided together, making metallic trills.

 "So strong!"

 Fan Kuai forcibly suppressed the trembling spear in his hand, and was startled by Lu Zhishen's terrifying strength.

 "Haha, finally a decent one came."

 On Lu Zhishen's side, he also felt Fan Kuai's power, and knowing that he was a powerful person, he laughed and shouted.

 "Baldhead, I'm going to kill you."
