Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 185
Chapter 185
Only a few days after the founding of the Wei State, Zhang Er and Chen Yu began to continuously expand their influence. In just a few days, the entire sphere of influence has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Counties surrounding Chenjun County fell one after another.

Chen Yu looted the people's food, and the people had to let Chen Yu manipulate them in order to survive.

In just a few days, the number of soldiers under Chen Yu's command increased from tens of thousands to 30.

The vast majority of these three 10,000+ people are civilians, but there are also [-] rioters who survived the previous battle in Sishui County, who were also incorporated into the troops directly under him.

These 3 people have gone through a series of fights, and they are already veterans who have experienced battles. Chen Yu selected some young and strong people from the common people, assembled the old armor and weapons of the Qin army captured, and finally made up a There are nearly [-] armored soldiers.

Not only has the number of soldiers under his command increased sharply, but also talented people from all walks of life have come to vote.

For a time, Zhang Er's army was full of talents and its strength increased sharply.Such a posture made Wei Jiu, who became the king of Wei for the second time, extremely jealous.

After exploring other places in Chen County, Zhang Er set his sights on Shangcai, the capital of Chen County, which is also the hometown of Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.

In order to win Shangcai in one go, Zhang Er sent Chen Yu to take command in person, and led his top generals Zhou Wen and Zhou Shi, and even dispatched [-] armored elite soldiers who he regarded as his lifeblood.

Although everyone now knows that the situation in the Central Plains is powerless, Ying Zheng does not intend to sit still.

In order to inspire people, he asked Wang Ben, who was in Xianyang, to lead [-] troops out of the pass to fight quickly.

Wang Ben came back to Xianyang all the way to find out that Zhao Gang had left. He was so annoyed that he almost fell ill on the bed.Fortunately, Ying Zheng's handwriting came from Shangjun soon, and everything was fine, so his heart relaxed.

Although the situation in Shandong is already like a pile of eggs, Wang Ben is very clear about what he will face in the face of hundreds of thousands of rebellious troops, but he also understands that as a general of Qin, he must not have any timidity.

In order to reflect his mentality of seeing death as home, he took his son Wang Li as the vanguard, and led [-] ancestors to the vicinity of Shangcai.

At this moment, Shangcai was already shouting to kill Zhentian. Under the siege of Zhou Wen's army, Shangcai continued to hold on like an isolated island.

As an important city in the Central Plains of the empire, the prefect of Chen Jun knew how important the land under his feet was.

Chen Jun, which the empire had spent the blood and lives of countless people to take down, could not be thrown to these rebels so easily.

Therefore, since Zhang Er attacked Chen Jun, he has been constantly shrinking and laying out lines, preparing supplies, strengthening the city wall, and posing a posture of vowing to live and die with the city.

Especially after learning that the surrounding gates had been breached, all four gates in Shangjun were sealed with molten iron.

The people in the city hold a weapon and are ready to fight for the country at any time.

And the progress of Zhou Wen's army outside the city was not smooth.

Facing the three-foot-reinforced city wall, Wei Jun's engineering equipment could not touch the city wall and all of them lost their effect. In desperation, Zhou Wen had no choice but to ask the army to raise the ground to reduce the height difference between the city and the city.

But the Qin army above the city didn't give them any chance at all, and kept using stones, bows and arrows to teach these ignorant guys.

After continuously attacking for a day, there are corpses strewn all over the bottom of the city at this moment, the gaps in the city wall, and the moat below the city are full of corpses everywhere.

There are rebels here, as well as soldiers guarding Shangcai. The strong smell of blood wafts in the air, making people feel sick.

The prefect Gongsun Pu is not good at military affairs, and now the county magistrate Li Pi is in command of Shangcai Shoucheng.

In terms of relationship, Li Pi can be regarded as Li Si's family.

Under Li Si's care, he was able to become a county magistrate at a young age.

At this moment, he stood on the tower and looked ahead, his eyes full of sorrow.

Today's bloody battle, although they have won.However, the few soldiers stationed in Shangcai have basically been killed or injured, and most of the people guarding the city are the people mobilized by Gongsun Pu.In the siege battle on the first day, instead of making rapid progress, Zhou Wen had thousands of people in this group, which made him extremely annoyed.

You must know that these are all elite soldiers that Zhang Er regards as his darling. If these soldiers suffer too many casualties, even if they capture Shangcai by themselves, there may be no good fruit to eat when they go back.

So he adjusted his tactics in time, and immediately after the battle started on the second day, he immediately let those unarmored and unarmed rioters swarm up and let them consume the supplies in the city.When they have almost exhausted Shangcai City, he will lead his elite troops to fight in.

Although these rioters knew that such a rush would undoubtedly lead to death, facing the threats from Zhou Wen's subordinates, they could only bite the bullet and rushed out with sticks and hoes.

Seeing this, Li Pi on the top of the city shouted loudly: "Defend the city, the city is alive and the people are alive, and the city is dead and the people are dead!"

Encouraged by him, the people took up arms and resisted desperately, even though they repelled the enemy's attacks one after another.But at this moment, there are not many people and soldiers who can continue to fight on the city wall.Those who survived by luck are also exhausted at the moment.

Zhou Wen, who had been waiting impatiently at the foot of the city, quickly led [-] elite soldiers into the battle.

The bows and arrows defending the city were suddenly less powerful in the eyes of these armored rebels. Even though the Qin army on the city resisted desperately, more and more enemies climbed up the city wall, and the number of people who fell in a pool of blood also doubled.

Until this time, Li Pi was afraid that Shangcai really couldn't hold on anymore, he looked at Gongsun Pu beside him and said, "Prefect, it seems that it's time for us to go all out."

Although Gongsun Pu was a civil servant, he was extremely calm at this moment. He saluted Li Bi and said, "Brother, let's go, I'll be right there."

With a roar, Li Pi drew out the long sword at his waist and rushed out quickly with the few remaining soldiers.

"Kill me!"

"Ugh..."

A desolate horn sound suddenly pierced the sky, and the two parties who were still fighting couldn't help but pause.

Zhou Wen, who had already secured the victory, also changed his face when he heard the sound of the horn.

"Where did the army come from? Did your majesty say to send troops to reinforce me?"

Before the general next to him could respond, a black line appeared on the avenue not far from them.

A big flag is flying high, and the big black "Qin" character can be clearly seen even ten miles away.

These were none other than the [-] former troops led by Wang Li who were running day and night.

All the light cavalry were not only equipped with the three treasures of cavalry, but also armed with continuous crossbows.

"No, it's Qin Bing!"

Zhou Wen and other generals of the rebellious army suddenly changed their faces when they saw the word Qin, especially Zhou Wen, who was in charge of the army, shouted: "Mingjin withdraws troops, Mingjin withdraws troops!"

At the same time, Li Pi on the city wall was relieved when he saw the flag of the Qin army. The people who survived by chance cheered loudly, and their morale rose sharply for a while.
