At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 111, civil strife in Yangzhai

The rebel troops slowly approached Yangzhai City in the rising sun. Wu Sheng led the cavalry to charge forward, followed by tens of thousands of rebel troops walking slowly behind.

But after walking less than a mile, the originally neat formation began to become crooked, and the formation could no longer be seen.

Yingbu, who was originally very happy, couldn't help frowning when he saw such a scene: "The gap is too big. These soldiers need to practice hard."

Yingbo's attack on Yingchuan County was extremely smooth. After all, no one could have imagined that Wang Li's 3-strong army would be destroyed in one day. Facing Yingbo's army, the Qin officials in Yingchuan County were still busy liquidating the local powerful and common people, and they never thought that the rebels would come again.

As a result, Yingbu's army came over, and Yingchuan's powerful people and people had support. They opened the city gates and killed Qin officials. The cities in Yingchuan County fell one after another. Yingbu's army recovered a city almost every day. , every day powerful men led hundreds or thousands of soldiers to seek refuge with him.

And those Qin officials who liquidated Yingchuan also helped Yingbu recruit good soldiers. Every time he conquered a city, Yingbu could get thousands of soldiers by releasing the people in the prison. In less than 10 days, his army would After reaching Yangdi City, the number of troops expanded to , and these were soldiers who wanted revenge. They may not have much combat experience, but their fighting will was the strongest.

Yingbu reorganized these armies. He adjusted his five army commanders to captains, each with 5 soldiers. He led a guard battalion to command this 5000-strong army. However, with the large number of young men joining, it is inevitable that the army's combat effectiveness will decline. That's why there is a situation where even the most basic queue is not in full order.

The army arrived 300 steps away from the city of Yangzhai. Yingbu ordered the army to stop and ordered the officers of each battalion to start reorganizing the army. Wu Sheng led the cavalry around Yangzhai and returned.

Yingbu only called a few captains together to discuss how to attack Yangzhai City.

"The last Qin army in Yingchuan is here. As long as we capture Yangdi City, the entire Yingchuan County will be defeated by us. At that time, I can also ask the general for credit and make you an official captain. .”

Wu Sheng said: "I just led the cavalry to take a look. The city defense of Yangdi City is not very good. Although Wu Guang did not attack Yangdi City last time, he had destroyed most of the defenses in Yangdi. They didn't even have time to clear the moat. I can continue to use the passage left by Wu Guang to attack the city, but after all, there are thousands of defenders in Yangzhai City. It will be very difficult to break through the city in a short time. It is better to wait for the general's main army to come to help, and then we attack."

"General Wu Sheng, what you said is wrong. If we were just one step away, our achievements would be much smaller. And my subordinates think about it, the general still wants us to conquer the entire Yingchuan County." The person who spoke was called Zheng Xuan.

He is of medium build, strong and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. At first glance, he looks like a first-rate man. He was a local powerful man with great social skills and martial arts skills. He was also affected by Wu Guang's uprising this time and was almost arrested by Qin officials. When Yingbu led the army to attack again, Zheng Xuan simply defected to the rebel army. When he joined the rebel army, he naturally wanted to make contributions so that he could quickly enter the upper echelons of the rebel army. And Yangzhai was the core of the entire Yingchuan County. He conquered this city and The gap in credit for not conquering this city is very large.

Several other officers also had the same idea. Their current captain was only promoted by Yingbu and approved by Supervisor Deng, but he was just a fake captain. If he wanted to live up to his name, he had to report to Xu Fan, the general stationed in the country.

And since they have already become captains, they naturally don't want to fall down. Of course they want to make more contributions and keep their captaincy.

It's not too much to conquer the entire Yingchuan County and reward them with a few captains.

Deng said he understood what these people were thinking, but he still persuaded them: "Yangzhai City is high and deep, and there are elite Qin soldiers stationed there. We now have neither ladders nor engineering vehicles. What can we do to defeat them? We should build and build forts." , building siege equipment, and the army waiting here to mount the national pillar is also a great achievement."

Yingbu frowned when he looked at the cracked city wall. There was not even a ladder, so there was indeed no way to attack the city.

But at this moment, thick smoke suddenly appeared in Yangdi City, and soon loud shouts of death came from Yangdi City.

"The prison has been captured by the enemy. There are tens of thousands of rebels there!" When the Qin officials saw that the place where the fireworks came out was actually the prison, they were immediately panicked. There were tens of thousands of rebels outside the city, and tens of thousands of rebels inside the city. After being released, Yangzhai City could no longer be defended, and the quick-thinking Qin officials had already begun to flee for their lives. You are really afraid of what you are afraid of. Although they restricted the people from going to the city walls, there were too few soldiers in Yangzhai City. There were more soldiers on the city walls, but there were fewer soldiers to guard the arsenals, granaries and prisons. Wu Guang led the powerful private soldiers He easily killed all the Qin soldiers guarding the prison and released all the rebels imprisoned by Qin officials. Then Wu Guang led more than 3 soldiers to the city gate and helped Yingbu and others enter Yangdi City.

He Yi, who was on the city wall, looked at the scene in front of him in despair: "How dare they do this? This is a serious crime of killing the clan!"

He Yi has been an official of Qin for a long time. He has seen many powerful people who are afraid of Qin's laws. They are frightened and frightened. Many people were caught and became prisoners and beheaded, but they did not dare to violate Qin's laws. Qin's laws are in He Yi's mind. It has become an indestructible ideological seal. He does not believe that so many people dare to violate Qin's laws and rebel. The uprising people in the city have shattered He Yi's outlook on life.

On the contrary, Huang Long became more sober and said: "Chief He, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's find a way to escape now. Based on what we did in Yingchuan, if we fall into the hands of the rebels, we will definitely be hanged by them."

After saying that, Huang Long rushed over with his personal guards, trying to find a way to escape. At this time, He Yi also woke up, understood that it was important to escape, and followed Huang Long.

Yingbu and others outside the city were overjoyed.

"There are also people from our rebel army in Yangzhai City."

Yingbu had seen this kind of thing too much in Yingchuan County. The efficiency of his siege could reach one city a day. These rebellious heroes were the main reason. Every time his army came to the city, someone would open the city. The door allowed the rebels to enter.

Sure enough, not long after, the gate of Yangzhai City was opened, and a general came out and shouted: "Brother Yingbu, attack the city quickly."

Yingbu and others were shocked when they saw the person coming, because this was the captured Wu Guang. However, Yingbu also understood that time was tight, so he immediately ordered: "Wu Sheng, you lead the cavalry to charge into the city and go straight into the county governor's house."

Wu Sheng said: "No!"

"Zhaoping, Deng said that you and I would each bring 1 troops to attack the arsenals and granaries in Yangzhai City."

Deng Shuo and Zhaoping said, "Promise!"

Finally, Yingbu waved his spear and said: "The remaining generals will kill me!"

Thirty thousand troops followed Yingbu into Yangdi City, and then divided into four teams according to Yingbu's order, attacking Yangdi's governor's mansion, arsenal, granary and Yangdi's city wall respectively.

　Some readers said that one person cannot cultivate 100 acres of land. Although the land is divided among soldiers, it is actually the land of one family. And please do not use modern intensive farming to deduce the history of the late Qin Dynasty. In the early Han Dynasty, many people's articles said that one man could manage a hundred acres of land with a small family of five. This is the standard for Han farmers, which means it is feasible.

　　You can think about it. There are only more than 60 kilograms of grain per acre, and even if you add straw, it can't exceed 200 kilograms. You can fully imagine how scarce the seedlings on the land were at that time, and how tiring it would be to use a sickle to cut it.
