"Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and sorbet, open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay the food when he comes!"

Wudu County City was besieged by 50,000 Explosive Kings Army. The shouts of the Explosive Kings Army shook the sky and echoed over the battlefield!

The King of Breaking Li Zicheng personally attacked the city, and teams of infantry carried the simple ladder to attack the city!

The dense rain of arrows covered the sky, and hundreds of Wudu County garrisons were shot and killed by arrows and fell on the city wall!

The King of Breaking Army not only directly attacked the city, but also had a rush of momentum, and all the civilians in the city were alarmed!

Two hundred thousand Hanzhong troops went out of Qishan, and Wudu County was the first to be hit!

"Where is the prefect?"

"As early yesterday, when I heard that Hanzhong soldiers were attacking, I immediately went to Longxi County and asked for reinforcements!"

"Without the prefect, the prefect took away the elite soldiers, I'm afraid it's not about abandoning us!"

"It's better for us to surrender to Hanzhong..."

The Wudu County garrison was only 3,000 people left, and they were unable to resist the 200,000 Hanzhong Army, so they opened the city gate to welcome the general Li Zicheng.

The officials of Wudu County knelt on both sides of the road with a timid look up at Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng walked with a long and hummed, which made the officials of Wudu County very scared.

"How many defenders are there in the entire Wudu County?"

"Three thousand defenders."

"Although Wudu County is not very population, it is still a county, and there are only three thousand defenders?"

"Our prefect transferred elite troops to Qishan Fort, thinking that Qishan Fortress has a steep terrain and easier to defend."

"Where is the prefect?"

"He went to Longxi County..."

Li Zicheng frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with the other party's answer.

"Attack Qishan Fort!"

Li Zicheng easily captured Wudu County and attacked Qishan Fort without stopping.

The 50,000 rebel kings, held 3,000 defenders of Wudu County, and attacked Qishan Fort on a large scale!

The peasant uprising army can quickly absorb surrendered troops and form a larger force.

In Longxi County, three strange prefects were anxious.

Zhang Dao's 200,000 troops attacked Xiliang, and his speed was as fast as the wind and invaded like fire!

"Zhang Dao in Hanzhong has captured Wudu County and is facing Qishan Fortress. If Qishan Fortress is lost, then the next one to be captured is Hanyang County, and then Longxi County. The three of us lost our territory, and Lao Qin will not let us go. King Xia and Xu Fengnian have a close relationship, and we will not let us go. Therefore, we must not lose Qishan Fort!"

"I have transferred the troops of Wudu County to Qishan Fortress. Even if Wudu County is captured, it will only lose three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled."

"He asked for help from the governor of Liangzhou Xie Ai. He governed the military of Xiliang. Only he could repel Zhang Dao's 200,000 troops."

The three prefects were in power because of Zhang Dao's advance.

It was not because Zhang Dao's difficulty in attacking Chengdu, but because Liu Bei, Yang Su were too strong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wang Meng, Lanling Wang, Hulu Mingyue and other military generals severely damaged the peasant army leaders such as Li Zicheng and repelled Zhang Dao.

However, the three strange prefects of Wudu County, Longxi County and Hanyang County did not have any decent generals, so they were panicked in the face of Zhang Dao's aggressive offensive.

"Before Xie Ai's reinforcements arrived, we stationed in Mumendao, supporting each other with Qishan Fort, and temporarily blocked Zhang Dao's offensive."

“Very good.”

Under the mobilization of three Yi Ren Prefects, about 50,000 troops gathered in the wooden gateway in the three counties.

"Xu Huang, Pang De, you two, go to support the wooden doorway first. I need time."

Xie Ai, who was promoted to the governor of Liangzhou, dispatched Xu Huang and Pang De to support the three prefects, and also went to a team of Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

There were about 8,000 defenders in Qishan Fort, and they were besieged by Li Zicheng's 50,000 rebel army!

Li Zicheng once again forcibly attacked the city, and the first attack lost 800 people, without any progress.

Qishan Fort was a fortress deliberately established by the Qin army, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Kill it!"

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, the general of the Wang Jun, held a shield and tried to climb the city wall. A rolling stone hit Liu Zongmin's shield. Liu Zongmin rolled down the ladder and was seriously injured!

The King of Breaking Army was hit and morale dropped.

Li Zicheng had to give up attacking Qishan Fort and set up camp near Qishan Fort.

Li Zicheng's military advisor was Song Xiance. He observed the surroundings of Qishan Fort, but it was difficult to find flaws. Relying on the terrain, Qishan Fortress only considers the terrain, there is no flaw at all.

"Qishan Fort can be surrounded but not attacked, and bypassed this fort. The disadvantage is to disperse our troops. For example, if there is a good general in the fortress, it can cut off our military rations."

"Hanzhong is really a Jedi, with Jiange in the south and Qishan in the north."

Li Zicheng could only sigh when faced with natural danger.

"The prefect is here!"

When Li Zicheng's offensive was blocked by Qishan Fort, Zhang Dao's Yellow Turban Army, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's Rebel Army at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and Yang Ang's Hanzhong Army came to Qishan Mountain Road one after another.

They have captured Wudu County, which is not strong but has a small population. They only need to cross the Qishan Mountain Road to Hanyang County.

"Sure enough, Qishan Fort is difficult to capture."

Before Zhang Dao went to Qishan, he had already guessed such a result.

If Qishan Fort was so easy to conquer, the Qin army would not need to build a fortress here.

"The enemy cavalry of Longxi County and Hanyang County came to support Qishan Fort along the wooden gateway, and the troops may exceed 50,000!"

Zhang Dao arrived at Qishan Fort, and the reinforcements of the three counties, Xu Huang and Pang De, had already set out from Hanyang County and entered the Mumen Road, and was about to meet Zhang Dao's 200,000 troops on Qishan Road!

"I thought the prefects of the three southern counties of Liangzhou would choose to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, but I didn't expect to take the initiative to fight with us. The defense seems to be in line with the style of Xu Huang and Pang De. Pang De is just brave but not strategy. The real trouble is Xu Huang, who has the style of Zhou Yafu."

Zhang Dao was very afraid of Xu Huang, one of the five good generals.

Guan Yu was defeated and left Maicheng, and Xu Huang contributed the most.

The five sons and good generals have their own talents, but they lack popularity and their attributes are not as good as those of the five tiger generals.

"Let's go and meet Xu Huang, one of the five good generals, and Pang De, the brave general of Xiliang."

Zhang Dao was not very afraid. He had his own means to be able to firmly sit in the position of the prefect of Hanzhong.

"Yang Ang and Yang Ren, you two lead the Hanzhong army to besiege Qishan Fort, and only surround and not attack. The rest of the troops and horses bypass Qishan Fort, defeat the Xiliang army, and then pass through the Mumen Road to capture Shangqicheng."

"Sir, do we really want to take a detour?"

"We are still sufficient in our troops. As long as the defenders of Qishan Fort cannot leave the city, they will not be able to threaten our food route. Since the food route and retreat route are safe, detours are not unacceptable."

"Receive the order!"

Zhang Dao was unable to capture Qishan Fort for a while and could not delay it, so he had to bypass the fortress with 8,000 defenders.

Two hundred thousand soldiers were crowded on Qishan Road. After a long time, the food and grass were exhausted, and General Zhang had to retreat.

The Hanzhong Army was more eager for a decisive battle than the Xiliang Army.

Fearing the Western Liang cavalry, but being overwhelmed by the food and grass, and eager to fight quickly, this is the difficult situation of the Hanzhong army.

"Zhuge Liang went to Qishan six times, probably the same feeling."

Zhang Dao felt a little bit powerless.

Fifty thousand peasant troops besieged Qishan Fort, fifty thousand peasant troops, and twenty thousand cannon fodder recruited by Zhang Dao on the way, a total of 170,000 soldiers and horses marched towards the wooden doorway.

At the junction of Qishan Road and the Mumen Road, the Hanzhong Army and the Xiliang Army encountered each other!

"Xiliang...Iron Cavalry..."

Zhang Dao saw a team of fierce cavalry appearing at the end of the valley, and sand and dust rolling!

The iron cavalry and horses of Xiliang were all wearing heavy armor, spears, javelins, and bows and arrows!

The Western Liang Iron Cavalry is the most feared group of troops in the Hanzhong peasant army.

Without some special means, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could easily tear apart the peasant army's lineup.

"Have you ever seen the world? Don't panic!"

Li Zicheng rode a horse and shouted angrily among the King of Breaking Army, calming down the turbulent King of Breaking Army.

When Zhang Dao attacked Yizhou, Li Zicheng had already fought with the Youzhou cavalry brought to Yizhou by Liu Bei. Li Zicheng was also injured by Guan Yu, so he was not so afraid of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

"Zhang Dao's peasant army is really exaggerated. In addition to the defenders, a Hanzhong County can also attract 200,000 combat soldiers. Such a force ratio is almost the same as that of a nomadic tribe, right?"

"It's a pity that Zhang Dao chose Hanzhong as his stronghold, and it is difficult to expand. In the past ten years, there has been only one Hanzhong county."

"If he had not chosen to expand in the relatively closed Hanzhong, perhaps his fate would not be much different from the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou. He would soon be suppressed by the officers and soldiers and various princes, and he would not be able to last for ten years. This guy has been a local emperor in Hanzhong for ten years, and at least he could be a local emperor for a few more years."

The three alien prefects were helped by Xu Huang and Pang De, and seemed confident and no longer afraid of Zhang Dao, who was no longer afraid of the Northern Expedition.

Xu Huang is a good general of the five sons, and Pang De dares to clamor with Guan Yu.

The three Yi Ren Prefects also had a group of ordinary Western Liang generals and 50,000 soldiers and horses, many of which were Western Liang Light Cavalry.
