"Take!"

A feathered arrow was inserted a few steps in front of the horse on the plateau, and if it was to shout under the city, it should stop the horse and show its intention to the city, but the plateau did not stop the horse, but urged the red dragon to continue to move forward.

Seeing that Gao Yuan neither stopped his horse nor showed his identity, Qu immediately ordered the arrow to be released.

At this time, the archers on the city wall had already been prepared, so after Qu Qi gave the order, the archers of the Chu army immediately opened their bows and released arrows and shot towards the plateau. For a moment, the arrows were like locusts, and they were all shot towards the plateau.

But at this moment, a strange thing happened, all the feather arrows stopped about four or five feet away from the plateau, neither advancing nor landing, just hanging in the air, not much time, in front of the plateau, hovering hundreds of feather arrows, the scene was very strange.

The archers on the city wall were stunned and forgot to continue firing their arrows, and Qu Qi couldn't help but be stunned and at a loss, after all, such a thing had never been heard of before.

In fact, not only the defenders in Shangcai City, but even the soldiers of the Han army were stunned by this strange scene, and they all opened their mouths wide, but they couldn't say a word.

At this time, Gao Yuan suddenly stood up on horseback, only to see that all the feather arrows hovering in the air suddenly flew back upside down, some arrows were inserted into the city wall, and some shot at the head of the city, and more than twenty or thirty Chu soldiers were shot and screamed to death.

However, Gao Yuan's counterattack did not stop there, after retrieving all the arrows, Gao Yuan screamed lightly on the horse's back, swung a fist, and slammed in the direction of Shang Cai Cheng.

In fact, at this time, the plateau was still nearly thirty steps away from Shangcai City, and it was naturally impossible for this punch to really hit the city wall, but after this punch was swung, I saw a white light shoot out from the plateau's fist and shoot straight at the city gate of Shangcai City.

"Boom!"

I only heard a huge sound like the mountain shaking the ground, the dust and smoke suddenly rose, and the sand and gravel flew in all directions, and the Chu soldiers stationed on the city wall, together with the Taishou Qu beggars of Shangcai County, were all shocked into the air and flew up, and they didn't know where they fell. After the smoke and dust dissipated, I saw that the city gate and tower of Shangcai City had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a huge gap of about three zhang, and the ground was covered with rubble.

On the city walls on both sides, the surviving Chu soldiers were all stunned at this time, all of them staring at each other with wide eyes and open their mouths, but they couldn't say a word. Many people even wonder if they are in a dream.

Gao Yuan continued to urge the horse to walk towards the gap that had been opened in Shangcai City, and the punch just now broke the wall of Shangcai City, which was as simple as pushing open a door that was hidden and unlocked.

In fact, at this time, the array of the Han army was also silent, and the generals of the Han army who participated in this expedition, the Bailing people, the Kunlun side branch, the Guigumen people, as well as the Sang, Tu Yong, Jiang Li people, etc., all had an unreal feeling.

Fortunately, Hehua was still able to keep a clear head, and said with a smile: "What are you still doing in a daze?" The king has already opened Shangcai City for us, and if we don't enter the city quickly, if it is a little later, the king may have already passed through the city. ”

After listening to Hehua's words, the Han army suddenly came to his senses, and immediately broke out into a warm cheer.

Although everyone knew that the plateau had extremely powerful strength, the vast majority of people did not expect that the true strength of the plateau had become so strong that it had truly reached the realm of one person against one city. Only a few people who experienced the Battle of Xianyang and witnessed the battle between Plateau, Hehua and Han Teng would not be too surprised.

And after this scene, everyone on all sides of the Han army is full of confidence in this battle, after all, the plateau has shown an extremely strong strength, not to mention that there is Hehua, everyone knows that although Hehua's ability and the plateau are not the same type at all, but they are definitely not under the plateau, with the two of them in the array, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated.

Since he is a member of the Sang, Tu Yong, and Jiang Li clans, he is even more glad at this time, and he really took the right step in choosing to belong to the plateau, although now the three clans have been greatly injured, but if the plateau can defeat the Jiuli clan, there is still a chance to restore the fù family.

Although the number of the Han army is not much, but the generals of the army are rich experience in leading the army, and after coming back to their senses, the generals of the Han army immediately dispatched troops step by step, first sent a team of men and horses to enter the city from the gap, and immediately controlled the city walls on both sides of the gap to ensure the safety of the army into the city, and then organized other armies to enter the city in turn.

The Chu soldiers stationed on the city wall have not come back to their senses until now, and after the Han army killed on the city wall, they were still in a trance, muddy, but this is okay, the attack of the Han army, the Chu soldiers also have no will to resist at all, and they are captured one by one, and the Chu army that is a little farther away is scattered and fled. Some of the other officials in the city fled at the extreme time, and some were captured by the Han army. However, except for the nearly 100 Chu soldiers stationed on the city tower when the plateau opened the city wall, and the Taishou Qu beggars of Shangcai County suffered casualties, the other Han and Chu armies did not have any casualties.

A siege battle would end with such a result, the Han army did not hurt a single person, the soldiers did not bloody, and easily captured Shangcai County.

That night, the Han army rested in Shangcai City, and Gao Yuan ordered that all the captured Chu soldiers be released, and told the captured Shangcai officials that they were not attacking Chu this time, but going to the south through Chu and leaving tomorrow, so they did not have to be afraid, and after the Han army left, they still took over the administrative affairs of Shangcai City.

The officials of the Chu State of Shangcai only heard it like a fog, but they finally understood that the King of Han would not kill them and would leave Shangcai City immediately, although the officials of the Chu State of Shangcai couldn't believe that there would be such a good thing, but it was the King of Han himself who said it, and now the King of Han probably doesn't need to lie to himself. Therefore, they all half-believed, and their hearts were still uneasy.

Of course, Gao Yuan would not explain in detail to the Chu officials of Shang Cai, but ordered the opening of the treasury of Shang Cai City, obtained enough grain and grass materials, and led the Han army to leave Shang Cai City the next day and continue to march south.

After the Han army left, the Chu officials in Shangcai were still a little muddy, like a dream, and some even wondered if they had a ridiculous dream.

After the urgent document sent by Qu Qi ―――――――― the ―――――――― dividing line ――――――――― the dividing line was sent to Shouchun, the government and the opposition of Chu State were shaken, no one thought that the Han State suddenly sent troops to attack Chu State, and there was not even a little wind before, and I didn't know what the purpose of Han State's army this time was, whether it just wanted to seize a few pieces of territory and a few cities in Chu State, or to completely destroy Chu State, after all, now only the three kingdoms of Han, Qi and Chu are left in the world, and other countries have already perished, Therefore, it is by no means impossible for the Han State to destroy the Chu State.

The court of Chu was immediately divided into two factions, one faction advocated immediately collecting troops, gathering the strength of the whole country of Chu State, and fighting a decisive battle with the Han army; The other faction advocated that people should be sent to make peace with the Han army, in exchange for the withdrawal of the Han army.

Just when the two factions were arguing over whether to fight or not, news came that the Han army had broken through Shangcai County. And this time to send troops, the Han King Plateau drove the expedition in person, Ju said that this attack on Shangcai, it was the plateau punch that opened the gate of Shangcai City, only to lead the loss of Shangcai, once spread to the gods. So the whole state of Chu was shocked again, although the king of Chu and the ministers of Chu did not believe that it was Gao Yuan's punch that opened the gate of Shangcai City, but the loss of Shangcai County was a fact. Although the loss of Shangcai County does not mean that Shouchun will face the Han army's front, the Han army can indeed attack in the direction of Shouchun.

Therefore, the result was that before the battle was clearly debated, there were people who asked the king of Chu to build a new one, and the capital should be moved immediately to avoid the advance of the Han army, leading the Chu government and the opposition to chaos.

And just a day later, another news came, which made the king of Chu and the ministers of Chu even more at a loss, the Han army actually gave up Shangcai City and waved the army south, and the official sent back the official document of Shangcai said that the Han King Plateau said that this time the army was not to attack Chu, but to go to the south by way.

The king of Chu and the ministers of the state of Chu naturally did not believe this statement, the plateau was well in Xianyang, what to do in the wild land in the south, and they had to borrow the road from the state of Chu, so this must be a trick of the plateau. You must know that the plateau has always been cunning in the use of soldiers, and this time you want to play a trick to destroy the enemy. Either let Chu State relax its vigilance so that he can take advantage of the situation to attack.

But in the following days, almost every day there was news to Shouchun, after the Han army broke through Shangcai, did not go straight to Shouchun, but all the way south, Lian successively broke through Pingyu, Fanyang, Xincai and other places, and crossed the Huaishui, went straight to Xiapu (Wuhan). And these news are very clear, every time the Han army conquers the city, it is personally shot by Gao Yuan, breaking through the city gate with a punch, and then leading the army into the city, but the Han army only stayed in each place for a day or two, and only took some grain and grass materials, and then left the city to the south, not only did not commit any crime against the residents, but even the captured Chu army and local officials did no harm, after the Han army left the city, they were immediately released, and still managed the affairs of the city.

Of course, all kinds of rumors have also spread in the Chu State, and it is Gao Yuan's personal behavior of breaking the city, and it is even more divine. Although the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State are still half-convinced that every time Gao Yuan personally strikes and breaks through the city gate with one punch, judging from the route of the Han army's march, it is indeed not Shouchun as the target of the attack, and it seems that it is really going to the south.

So the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State breathed a sigh of relief, at least for the time being, Shouchun was safe, and at the same time they couldn't help but be puzzled, what was the king of Han going to the south to do, and he made such a big noise.
