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

Chapter 59, wars everywhere

The attack on Ruyin went extremely smoothly. Ruyin's defeated troops had long brought back the news that the entire supply team had been wiped out, and that the rebels were about to attack. When the Ruyin County Magistrate heard the news, he immediately fled for his life, and other petty officials naturally did not Maybe he was buried with the Qin State. He either escaped with the county magistrate or hid. When Yingbu attacked Ruyin County, it was already an unguarded city.

After capturing Ruyin, Xu Fan equipped the 2000 soldiers in Ruyin County's arsenal with weapons and equipment. The armor coverage rate finally reached 7%, and everyone also had a spear as a weapon, which greatly improved their combat effectiveness. promote.

However, Ruyin County was an extremely peripheral county town of Chen County, so Xu Fan did not stay much longer. He just took a batch of food, grass and baggage and led the army to leave.

But even if Xu Fan had tried his best to collect it, there was still tens of thousands of stones of grain that could not be taken away from Ruyin County, so Xu Fan arranged for 100 people to be stationed in Ruyin County, and ordered the garrison chief Zhou Shi to be stationed in Ruyin County. He took care of this batch of food, recruited troops, and promoted the policies of the rebels. At the same time, he warned him that if the Qin army in Jiujiang County attacked, he could abandon the county and it would be a great achievement to lead the rebel soldiers back alive.

There is no way that Jiujiang County is too close to Ruyin County. It is only 200-300 miles away and is connected by the Yingshui River. Jiujiang County soldiers can reach Ruyin in less than 5 days by going upstream. With only 100 soldiers It is impossible to defend the city.

Xu Fan captured the city in Chen County and won consecutive battles. However, Gan Di, the governor of Chen County, was filled with joy and sorrow. At first, he was extremely happy when he received a letter from Bai Meng who had caught up with the rebels and asked for food and grass support.

In his opinion, the rebels were just a bunch of rabble, and Bai Meng had tens of thousands of troops in his hands. Now that he was overtaken, he could not imagine the possibility that the rebels could continue to survive.

So he happily sent a group of 500 soldiers to escort 3000 shi of grain to Xi'an County. However, he never expected that within three days of his happiness, news came from Xi'an County that the Qin army escorting the food and grass was completely wiped out by the rebels. , all 3 shi of food and grass were obtained by the rebels. Two days later, the baggage team in Ruyin County was also annihilated by the rebels, and even Ruyin County was captured by the rebels.

What surprised him the most was that Bai Meng's army of tens of thousands was actually unable to conquer Qixian County occupied by the rebels. Not only was it beaten and defeated, there were only 5000 soldiers left in the army of tens of thousands, and it had lost the ability to destroy the rebels. , but asked him to rescue the army.

When this letter asking for help arrived in Gandi's hands, he couldn't believe it. The successive bad news overwhelmed his reason.

"Trash, idiot, it's a shame that you, Bai Meng, are still the queen of generals. Why didn't I realize that you are the contemporary Zhao Kuo? Even if Naigong and I led an army of tens of thousands to fight against the rebels, it would be impossible to defeat you like this."

Gan Di cursed Bai Meng with all the curse words he could think of. Unfortunately, the vocabulary of curses in this era was limited after all. Gan Di cursed Bai Meng and couldn't find any new words in less than half a stick of incense.

He sat dejectedly in front of the desk, but could not find any way to rescue Bai Meng. In less than a month, Chen County had recruited 5000 soldiers, and brought with him 2000 prisoners and 3000 civilians. The young people around Chen County The wealth has been completely wiped out by them.

Now there are only 1500 soldiers garrisoned in the entire Chen County. If the rebels attack, he will not know how to defend himself. Where will the troops come from to rescue Bai Meng.

At this time, Gandi already understood that the shadow of death was hanging over him, and his hope of survival was getting slimmer.

But his desire for survival made him continue to struggle. He was half panicked and looked at the map of Chen County seriously, trying to find his own chance of survival.

Gan Di thought for a long time, and finally came up with an unlikely solution, which was to order all 27 counties in Chen County to send county troops to support Bai Meng's army. There were 27 counties in Chen County, 5 of which were captured by Xu Fan, but the remaining There are 22 counties, each with 300 county soldiers, which adds up to 6600 county soldiers. After this force is combined with Bai Meng, it will be enough to strengthen Bai Meng's power, and maybe it can turn defeat into victory.

Even though he understood that this so-called victory had not even a one-in-22 chance, it was already his only way to survive. So Gandi wrote orders to the county magistrates under Chen County, asking them to send troops to support Bai Meng.

But Gandi did not expect that it was his order that caused the order of the entire Chen County to completely collapse.

After Gandi's order was issued, most of the county magistrates who received the order were in a wait-and-see state.

Everyone knows that there are rebels in Chen County. Everyone also knows that the rebels fought consecutively and defeated the Qin army. There were not many soldiers in the county, and their own defense was not enough. , where is the ability to send troops to support Bai Meng. These county magistrates plan to wait and see how others react before making a decision.

But there are still some honest county magistrates, or county magistrates who are loyal to their duties. They know Bai Meng's situation, but they are even more anxious to send county soldiers to support him.

The defeat of these county magistrates gave Xu Fan an opportunity. He used the information advantage brought by the local rangers to come to an encirclement point for reinforcements. He blocked the outside of Baimeng camp and annihilated Xincai County soldiers and Pingyu County soldiers one after another. , and at the same time led the army to conquer these counties, and suddenly the entire southern part of Chen County became the sphere of influence of the rebels.

Now judging from the map, it is the rebel forces that have surrounded the Bai Meng tribe.

Faced with this situation, the other county magistrates of Chen County were frightened and did not rescue them. This was not to kill them.

But at this time, it was impossible for these county magistrates to protect themselves. The successive victories of the rebels not only strengthened their strength, but also weakened the strength and prestige of the Qin army. People in Chen County who were dissatisfied with the Qin State found that The strength of the Qin army is just like this. They will be defeated and killed by the rebels. They are also ordinary people.

The rebel soldiers are not just people from Chen County. What the rebels can do, they can also do. The successive victories of the rebels have aroused the ambitions of many people and their suppressed hatred. The uprising forces in Chen County are becoming more and more powerful. After a while, this hatred finally couldn't be suppressed anymore.

December 35, the 11th year of the First Emperor's reign.

Wu Guang uprising in Xiayang County captured the county seat. The next day, Qin Jia rebelled in Guling and Wucheng rebelled in Anyang County. It can be said that the entire Chen County was in war, which was completely a miniature version of the troubled times in the late Qin Dynasty.

Facing more and more bad news, even the rebel army is approaching Chen County. The governor of Chen County is desperate. He now has no ability to send troops to rescue Bai Meng. The situation in Chen County is completely out of control. Gandi is now There is no way to save myself.

On the other side, the Baimeng tribe had not waited for reinforcements or heavy trains. They understood that if they continued to wait, they would be dead.

So after only three days of food and grass were left in the camp, Bai Meng desperately led the army to break out, hoping to gain a chance of survival.
