Daqin: I have an invincible thermal weapon system

"The first battle is to open up the grain route to Beidi County,"

After clarifying the target, Wang Li scanned the map and identified the counties along the Luo River.

The next second, the army rushed towards its target location, Fancheng.

Fusu got off his horse and got into the tank.

At this time, the servant reported that Zhang Han launched an attack on Beidi County.

The old military supervisor flew his fighter plane over Beidi County. Looking down, he saw dense crowds of people.

The camp of Zhang Han's army was set up very secretly under the city walls.

Inside the tent, Zhang Han had a worried look on his face. He had received the imperial edict, but now he had to face the situation of fighting on two fronts.

First, Chen Sheng's army in Daze Township was approaching Nanyang, and he had to defeat Meng Tian in a short period of time so that he would have time to turn south and stop the rebels.

Second, guard against reinforcements from Shangjun.

In order to achieve a quick victory, the most violent attack on Beidi County was launched in the first round, and all heavy catapults, including heavy crossbows, were used.

The chariots carrying the city rolled away.

On the other side of the city wall, Meng Tian clenched his hands and stared at Zhang Han's army below with a serious expression.

"How long can the food and grass in the city last?"

The grain officer replied, "General, can we hold out for about half a month?"

Meng Tian’s idea was very simple. Once the food and grass ran out, he would personally lead the army out of the city to meet the enemy.

He observed on the city wall for so long just to find out where Zhang Han’s central army camp was.

Once the situation becomes unfavorable, they can only throw everything they have at stake, go out of the city and raid Zhang Han's central army, risking their lives!

However, if His Highness's supporting army gains an advantage in other battlefields, the passive situation will be completely opened up and Zhang Han is likely to be defeated.

"What do you think of Zhang Han?"

The staff behind Meng Tian replied, "He is a man who can judge the situation and has the talent of a great general. He has made great achievements in the battle to the east and is deeply trusted by the late emperor. He has been dormant for too long. I never thought that he could organize such a powerful army in such a short time."

"The imperial edict was issued by Hu Hai, which is equivalent to Zhao Gao's plan!"

"However, in my opinion, if there were no reinforcements from Shangjun, the odds would probably be evenly split. But with Your Highness, I think we have the upper hand in this battle. Besides, Zhang Han is a man of great potential, and he must know that Zhao Gao is behind the imperial edict!"

"You mean, Zhang Han is not Meng Yi,"

"I think so!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Meng Tian's eyes. "As long as we defeat his subordinates and destroy his arrogance, he will definitely surrender!"

The staff nodded.

"Well, in another six days, we will see how Wang Li performs. If there is no turnaround, all the generals will follow me out of the city for a decisive battle!"

After Meng Tian made his decision, he focused all his attention on defense.

The two armies engaged in a fierce battle.

In particular, the role of the "divine bird" caused most of Zhang Han's siege chariots to be destroyed, which was beyond everyone's expectations and the war fell into a stalemate for a time.

Zhao Gao, who was in the imperial palace, also felt unprecedented pressure. On one side was the Daze Township uprising army, and on the other side was Meng Tian's army heading south to defend the king. This was completely beyond his expectations.

Meng Yi's move completely ruined his plan, and it also destroyed Zhao Gao's arrogance in his heart that he wanted to control everything.

At this time, he was also thinking about his retreat. The army of the Daze Township Uprising had expanded to more than one million people. Smoke of war was rising in the Chu area, and the Three Jins in Hedong no longer obeyed his orders.

If Zhang Han was defeated, he would send Qin II to join the rebel army.

If Zhang Han won the war, he would mobilize all his troops and deploy them at Hangu Pass to resist the rebels.

No matter which path you take, you can stay alive and even keep power.

But there are many variables involved, and he cannot predict all of them. Therefore, he still feels uneasy at this moment.

Qin II repeatedly asked about the war, and Zhao Gao always informed him with reports of victory. If this matter were to be exposed, it would be hard to guarantee that Qin II would continue to trust him, and there was no guarantee that the surviving old ministers of the Qin Dynasty would do something against him.

On that day, Zhao Gao went to court and handed a list of charges to Qin II.

There was silence in the court.

Zhao Gao remained silent.

But after reading out the charges, Qin II was no longer calm, "Prime Minister, Li Si is..."

The three conspired and were accomplices in the Dune coup!

However, Qin II was not stupid and would definitely not say it out loud.

Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this man secretly trained soldiers and attempted to rebel. I have found evidence."

"Someone, bring the doctor up here!"

Afterwards, two soldiers dragged a bloody man to the main hall. It was Li Si's aide. He was the one who caused the fire in the palace the other day. If I hadn't discovered it, Your Majesty would have been...gone!"

At the end of the conversation, she actually turned away and started crying.

This sentence frightened Qin II, and he almost collapsed on the dragon throne, his lips trembling, "Someone, drag this... this man out and kill... him..."

The man spat out a mouthful of his own blood, and sneered at Qin II and Zhao Gao, "You tyrant, you tyrant! You deserve to die! In the underworld, I will turn into a fierce ghost, eat your flesh, gnaw your bones, and make sure you die a miserable death!"

"Quick...quickly pull him down for me!"

Qin II trembled.

Li Si also sat in the hall with a sneer, looking back on his life. He followed the previous emperor to unify the world and used strict laws to help the Qin Dynasty become stronger. He never expected that this day would come.

He had been feeling uneasy ever since the Dune coup, but he never expected to reap the fruits of his own labor so soon.

At this moment, Li Si was fearless, with only a strange smile on his face, as if he was mocking everyone's ignorance. He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, straightened his prison uniform, sat upright on the ground, and bowed in the direction of the Qin Shihuang's tomb outside the hall.

Zhao Gao gave him a cold glance and said, "Li Si, you must plead guilty."

Li Si: "Your crime is unforgivable."

The word "minister" was addressed to the late emperor.

"Li Si, you...you are so brave!"

Qin II almost jumped off the throne.

"Emperor, I deserve to die. I feel ashamed of the Great Qin and the world!" Li Si kowtowed heavily.

Zhao Gao no longer gave Li Si a chance to perform and said, "Li Si, you are guilty of treason. According to Qin law, you must exterminate your entire clan and behead them!"

Afterwards, a group of soldiers dragged Li Si and his entire family away.

Seeing this scene, the ministers trembled!

Some people also spat and cursed inwardly, "Serves you right!"

Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed. He looked at the ministers and said, "Everyone, please tell me if you have anything to say. Don't end up like Li Si."

"I'm kindly reminding you that treason will not end well,"

"Li Si is a lesson for us!"

This statement was very clear. Some people immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Prime Minister, please understand. We are loyal to the Qin Dynasty. The sun and the moon can testify to this. We have no second thoughts!"

"Very good, everyone is very loyal!"

After saying that, he looked at those who did not kneel down and said, "My fellow officers, go home and see your wives and children!"
