Daqin: I have an invincible thermal weapon system

Chapter 22: Unpredictable Situation

The news that Li Si was beheaded by Zhao Gao on the charge of treason soon spread throughout the world. This was not good news for Zhang Han who was fighting outside.

The atmosphere in the military camp was extremely depressing.

I saw a young man wearing red armor and with a solemn face standing in front of the sand table.

"Zhao Gao's move was to eliminate the rebels and increase his prestige in the court."

"Once Li Si was killed, the others would have only two options left: either surrender to Zhao Gao or die without a burial place,"

Chief Clerk Sima Xin said.

Zhang Han did not want to waste his energy here. "Let's first suppress the rebels, and we can discuss the rest later."

Sima Xin recalled the time when Zhao Gao chased him and continued to emphasize, "General Shaofu, if everyone in the court has become Zhao Gao's close friend, then what are we fighting for now?!"

"Your Majesty has repeatedly slaughtered loyal ministers and descendants of the Ying family, which has caused dissatisfaction among the old Qin people everywhere."

"General Shaofu, you should make a decision soon!"

Zhang Han clenched his fist fiercely, and after a moment, he released it, "Let's win this battle first!"

"As for the rest, we'll figure it out later!"

After that, he no longer paid attention to Sima Xin.

But his heart was as clear as a mirror, and he had secretly made up his mind that after the war, he would find a way to get His Majesty to get rid of Zhao Gao.

After that, all attention was focused on the siege.

General Zuo came to report, "General, the Peng bird has retreated!"

Hearing this, Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, this so-called big peng bird had destroyed many siege equipment, causing heavy losses to the army. It was also killed several times by a small army led by Meng Tian who went out of the city.

"Can you think of a way to shoot down the roc in the sky?"

Zhang Han glanced at the sky outside the tent.

General Zuo shook his head. "It's too high, far beyond the attack range of heavy crossbows and catapults. Moreover, this bird is extremely fast, and its roar is like thunder and lightning, which makes our soldiers very afraid. Every time it appears, we can only avoid it, there is nothing we can do!"

The appearance of this monster also confused Zhang Han.

Sima Xin said: "Build trenches and caves. If this bird appears, we can hide from it temporarily. What do you think, General Shaofu?"

Zhang Han shook his head, "This battle cannot be delayed. Building underground caves is meaningless and will only consume a lot of manpower!"

"Order all camps to intensify the siege!"

"We must take over Beidi County within ten days!"

If Zhang Han did not have an absolute advantage in military strength, he would not dare to fight Meng Tian.

Just when everyone was thinking about the siege strategy, the gates of Beidi County City opened again, and a large number of war horses rushed out like lightning. The cold long spears instantly harvested the lives of a large number of soldiers, and many people fled in panic.

When the battle report came, Zhang Han roared, drew his sword, and threw it hard at the target.

"Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"

The messenger took the order and left.

The city of Fan has now been heavily besieged by Wang Li and his men. Zhao Dun, a general under Zhang Han, is hiding in the city by the Luo River.

This wasn't even a war. A large number of supervising soldiers were killed in the explosion at the very beginning. The entire battle to defend the city was a mess.

"What's the point of fighting this war? I'd rather stay in a dungeon!"

As the best among the prisoners, Zhao Dun made many military achievements after being pardoned. He was finally promoted to the position of a general with ten thousand men. He was then sent to cut off Meng Tian's food supply.

At the beginning, the war was going smoothly. Relying on their fearlessness and courage, the brothers were all extremely ferocious. When they saw the enemy, they rushed forward as if they had seen a military achievement. But now, they were blown to pieces without even seeing the enemy. This is totally against common sense.

At this moment, under the city of Fan, Fusu stood on a tank, looking at the city wall that was blown into holes, and laughed, "These guys are really patient. The wall has been blown to pieces, but they still refuse to surrender."

Wang Li said, "These people were originally prisoners. Zhang Han organized them into a large army. They fight fiercely and are as fierce as my Shangjun Tiger and Wolf Army!"

Fusu said casually: "I know this. I knew it when I was in another dimension."

Wang Li was in trouble again. He couldn't understand what His Highness said at all.

"Your Highness, if we attack the city now, I will be able to win in one fell swoop!"

The opposite wall was blown up, so it was easy to attack.

The Qin army in the rear could not wait any longer.

Everyone wants to make military achievements.

Just when Wang Li was about to issue the order for a general attack and take down Fancheng in one fell swoop, the city gate opened wide and a man rode out on his horse with a sword in hand.

Zhao Dun had a scar on his face and tilted his head. "I want to surrender. Call out your most senior officer! I want to see who he is!"

Wang Li shouted angrily, "How dare you be so disrespectful!"

Pang Luan picked up the Gatling gun and prepared to fire.

Fusu said coldly: "Xiang Chu, try the weapon in your hand and knock his horse off!"

Xiang Chu immediately half-knelt, put the cannon sniper rifle against his shoulder, took aim, and pulled the trigger. Then, with a loud "bang", a bullet shot out.

On the other side, Zhao Dun's horse was hit and shattered in an instant.

The whole person fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing his warhorse broken into several pieces, he was completely stunned.

He had never seen such power before.

"You should surrender in the manner of surrender. Go back and wash your neck!"

Fusu said coldly.

Zhao Dun had no choice but to kneel on the ground and said, "I surrender, General, please spare my life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the soldiers in the city laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Zhao Dun knew that in this battle, the city walls were inexplicably blown up without even seeing Wang Li's army, causing countless casualties, and there was no need to fight any further.

After seeing that everyone in the city had laid down their weapons, Fusu drove a tank into the city, followed closely by Wang Li and others. The war horses rode side by side, and their hooves stepped on the bluestone floor, making crisp sounds!

"Zhao Dun, you are really amazing! You cut off my food supply by yourself."

This Zhao Dun was indeed a talented commander who could lead tens of thousands of men. It was a pity that he encountered hot weapons and the famous general Wang Li, and all his struggles were in vain.

"Hehe, it's just luck, luck."

Zhao Dun changed his previous fierce and arrogant appearance and became extremely respectful.

In Fancheng, Fusu and others took a short rest, and Wang Li looked at the map and analyzed the current situation.

"The Luoshui River is located on the east side of Beidi County. Going downstream, it leads to Beidi County. The transportation of food and grass must pass through this place. Zhang Han cooperated with Sanchuan to suddenly send troops and captured many cities upstream. We must pull out these nails one by one, and then lead the army to raid Zhang Han's right side!"

"Your Highness, the situation is now completely in our favor. Victory is just around the corner!"

"How many cities in the upper reaches of the Luoshui River are still in Zhang Han's hands?"

"Twelve," Wang Li replied, "But as long as my army progresses smoothly, we can capture one city a day!"

Fusu also looked at the map for a long time and said, "The rebellion in Chu and the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have already set off a chaotic situation. The Qin Dynasty is in turmoil. If we can't capture Xianyang soon, everything will be difficult to predict."

"If Xianyang is destroyed, the Qin will lose its legitimate position in the world, and those old nobles lurking in the dark in the Hedong Three Jins will also jump out, especially... the one in Pei County, Shandong!"
