Not long after, Wei Ang and Qin Huan rushed to the head of Dongcheng City surrounded by a large group of soldiers, and they saw a cavalry not far from the city galloping towards Chang'an City, but there were not many of them, probably only A dozen people.

After a while, the cavalry rushed to the city, and the general at the head shouted to the city: "We are the soldiers of General Zhou of Youjinwuwei, and we are ordered by General Zhou to deliver a letter to the envoy. Please brothers in the city Hurry up and report to the guard."

Wei Ang and Qin Huan in the city looked at each other with playful smiles on their faces, and they really came.

But neither of them spoke, they just winked at a school lieutenant at the side, the school lieutenant understood, then leaned out half of his body from the city wall, and shouted loudly to the bottom of the city: "Since it's General Zhou's personal soldier, , I wonder if there is a token token?"

The generals under the city didn't seem to be flustered, and directly took out a letter from his chest, shook it against the city a few times, and said loudly: "This is a personal letter from General Zhou to the envoy of Wei. General Zhou told me to hand it over personally. Give it to the envoy."

The captain looked back at Wei Ang and Qin Huan, saw that they both nodded at him, and said loudly to the city: "In that case, I will open the city gate and let you enter the city now, and then I will take you to see the envoy of Wei." .”

Afterwards, the captain intentionally shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "Open the city gate and let the Jinwuwei brothers under the city enter the city."

With a creaking sound, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and then the city gate opened to both sides, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to pass through.

The cavalry outside the city were all overjoyed when they saw this, and the leading general waved his hand and shouted loudly to the others: "Brothers, enter the city!"

Afterwards, the cavalry followed the general one by one and entered the city through the crack of the door.

As an important town in Guanzhong, Chang'an's city defense is naturally the top priority. The city wall alone has two walls, one inner city wall and one outer city wall. Against an inner city wall.

Moreover, the inner and outer city walls are only connected by a few suspension bridges. Once the outer city wall falls, the suspension bridges will be destroyed immediately, so as not to give the enemy the slightest chance to break into the inner city wall.

In addition, even if the enemy broke through the outer city wall, the distance between the inner and outer city walls was only fifty or sixty feet, and the space was so narrow that the enemy army could not use it at all, and could only look at the inner city wall helplessly.

At this time, on the top of the city, Qin Huan watched the cavalry below the city pass through the narrow area between the inner and outer city walls, a sneer appeared on his face, and then he waved heavily.

All of a sudden, the open space on both sides of the inner and outer cavalry burst into flames. The soldiers and horses of the brigade held torches in one hand and crossbows in the other, and coldly aimed at the cavalry...

The leading general couldn't help but change his face drastically, but he still tried to calm down and said to the crossbowmen: "What do you mean by this? Do you have any misunderstandings?"

But these crossbowmen ignored him, they fired arrows in an instant, causing heavy casualties to the cavalrymen.

The leading general knew that his plot had been seen through, so he didn't bother to argue anymore, and immediately shouted loudly to the cavalry behind him: "No, I've been tricked, retreat!"

But it was too late, the crossbowmen on both sides were hit by a rain of arrows, and the cavalry were killed and injured, but they did not dare to fight, so they could only turn their horses and ran towards the outside of the city gate in embarrassment.

How could the defenders let them get away so easily, the continuous crossbow in their hands shot continuously, and the leading general was unfortunately hit by an arrow soon, and fell down directly from his horse under the pain.

But what was unexpected was that as soon as this man fell off his horse, the other cavalry shouted: "It's not good, King Qin has been hit by an arrow."

Wei Ang and Qin Huan on the top of the city heard it clearly, they couldn't help being surprised, could it be that Qin Wang Xiao Huang personally risked himself to deceive the city gate?

At this time, the cavalrymen under the city rushed up one after another, helped the general who fell from the arrow to his horse again, and then braved the rain of arrows to fight a bloody road, and escaped with the unconscious general...

A battle without any suspense ended quickly, and the defenders severely injured the rebels who tried to deceive the city gate without a single casualty, which can be said to be very satisfying.

But Wei Ang and Qin Huan still couldn't calm down for a long time. They both knew in their hearts that if the general who was hit by the arrow was really King Qin Xiao Huang, then the rebellion started by King Qin would not be far away from being completely put down.

Not long after, the scouts they sent outside the city to investigate the movement of the Liangzhou army reported back. There was a lot of mourning in the Liangzhou army, as if some important person had died.

Moreover, at this time, the rebel army had already abandoned a large amount of food, grass and luggage, and fled westward in a hurry, no longer in the orderly and calm way before, and a large number of soldiers were still fleeing along the way.

All these things made Wei Ang and Qin Huan conclude that the person hit by the arrow was the King of Qin Xiao Huang, and it might be more ominous at this time.

This should have been a happy event for everyone. After all, once the King of Qin died, the rest of the rebels would be leaderless. They were just a mob.

But Wei Ang and Qin Huan disagreed at this time.

What Wei Ang meant was that they should take advantage of the time when the enemy army was leaderless and chaotic, and take advantage of the victory to completely defeat the rebel army, because he knew that if he could completely defeat the rebel army before the reinforcements arrived, the credit for suppressing the rebellion would be due to him and Qin Huan. Personally, if they continue to hide in the city, stand still, and finally wait for the reinforcements to arrive and defeat the rebels, he will only have one achievement of defending the city, which is very different from the achievement of countering the rebellion.

But Qin Huan didn't approve of Wei Ang's risk taking. In his opinion, the rebels were numerous and mighty after all, and trapped beasts were even more vicious. If they took the risk to pursue them, I'm afraid there might not be any good fruit to eat.

Neither of them could convince him, but Wei Ang's governor of Yongzhou was second-rank, while Qin Huan's Yueqi general was only fourth-rank. In terms of official rank, Qin Huan could only listen to Wei Ang. Wanting Wei Ang to continue to sit in the city, he himself led the army in the city to pursue the rebels.

Wei Ang knew that he was far inferior to Qin Huan in leading the army, so he finally agreed to Qin Huan's plan. Anyway, when the time comes to report the credit to the court, he will still be the first.

……

Qin Huan led the troops to pursue all the way to the west, and as the scouts said, there were food, grass and luggage discarded by the rebels everywhere along the way, and from time to time, one or two deserters hiding in the mountains and forests could be caught.

From the mouths of these deserters, it was rumored in the army that King Xiao Huang of Qin had been shot by an arrow. Although he was not dead, he was also seriously injured. It was he who personally ordered the army to withdraw westward and return to Liangzhou as soon as possible.

When Qin Huan heard the news, his heart relaxed a little, but when he learned that King Qin Xiao Huang was not dead, he immediately ordered the soldiers to speed up their pace, absolutely not to let King Qin return to Liangzhou, and continue to cause troubles in Daning.

But when he led his pursuers through a hill, he suddenly heard a loud cry of killing from the top, and a large group of cavalry swept towards them from the hill...

Qin Huan's heart sank, he glanced at the enemy army on the hill, and saw Qin Wang Xiao Huang riding a horse at the moment, looking at him with cold eyes, he didn't look like he was seriously injured by an arrow.

Qin Huan instantly understood that he and Wei Ang had been tricked...
