Chapter 65, Brave Yingbu
  December 35, the 12th year of the First Emperor's reign.

Although Chen County does not have high mountains as its geographical advantage, there is a chasm and water surrounding it to the north and east of Chen County, so these two walls are difficult to attack from.
  Xu Fan divided the 1.5 rebels into two groups. Zhou Zhang and Ji Bu commanded 1.5 troops to attack the west of Chen County, while Xu Fan led rebels to attack the south of Chen County.

After the thunderous war drums sounded, the rebel army divided into 15 formations, numbering a thousand people each, and slowly approached the Chenjun city wall. However, when they reached the 300-step position, Xu Fan stopped the army.

Then he looked at Zhang Er and said: "Master Zhang, when will your people open the city gate?"

Zhang Er said: "We have made an appointment to open the city gate at noon when the Qin army is tired, and also ask the general to attack the city to attract the Qin army's attention and make it easier for our brothers."

Xu Fan issued an order for Yingbu to lead his troops to test and attack Chen County. Chen Lin's crossbowmen were responsible for containing the Qin army on the city wall and covering Yingbu's attack on the city.

At the front of the battle formation, Yingbu held a shield in one hand and a halberd in the other, standing at the forefront of the team, waiting for Xu Fan to give the order to attack the city.

The power of the rebel army is getting stronger and stronger. After conquering Chen County, the rebel army will definitely develop even more. Since Yingbu joined the rebel army, he has not made any major achievements except for the initial annihilation of a grain transport team.

But Yingbu wanted to go further and become a more important general under the rebel system, so he wanted to be the first to conquer Chen County. Based on this credit, he might become a captain in command of 5000 people in the rebel army.

Yesterday, Zhang Er was a little dissatisfied with Ying Bu's surrender. If Zhang Er offered Chen Jun, his credit would be lost, so Ying Bu planned to attack Chen Jun in advance before Zhang Er's men opened the city gate.

Just when Yingbu was anxious, the rebel messenger came to him and said: "Ying Sima, the general ordered you to be the vanguard to attack the city."

Yingbu was overjoyed when he heard this order: "Brothers, follow Naigong and kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" Yingbu's soldiers also said with high morale.

After the soldiers at the front of the team received Yingbu's order, they quickly brought five ladders and laid them on Chenjun's moat. The soldiers at the rear quickly laid wooden planks, and five small pontoon bridges were built.

The soldiers at the rear quickly attacked, crossed the moat at lightning speed, put the ladders on the city wall, and swarmed up.

Chen Lin, who was playing auxiliary duty, noticed that Yingbu was rushing to the front and even the ladders were erected on the city wall. He couldn't help but secretly cursed: "Is Yingbu crazy because he wants to make a contribution? He rushes so fast?"

But he still immediately shouted: "The whole army shoots!"

Thousands of crossbowmen fired crossbows at Chenjun's city wall. The dense crossbows made it difficult for the defenders to raise their heads.

A Qin army centurion on the city wall risked being hit by a long arrow and shouted: "Fight back, don't let the rebels climb the city wall, or we will all die."

After speaking, the centurion personally lifted a stone and threw it down the city. A bamboo ladder was smashed into two pieces, and two rebel soldiers were stoned to death.

The civilians on other city walls braved the crossbows of the rebels and threw rolling stones and wooden logs off the city wall. Yingbu rushed at the front. He watched a wooden log whizzing down. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and turned around to escape to the back of the ladder. Pass a tribulation.

He shouted loudly and continued to climb up the city wall. But at this time, a pot of hot water poured towards Yingbu from the top of the city. Yingbu was shocked and quickly put his arm shield on his head, blocking most of the boiling water. However, a small amount of boiling water still poured on Yingbu, but he was His armor resisted, only giving him a few blisters.

But Yingbu seized this opportunity and climbed more than ten feet away. At this time, the Qin army on the wall had begun to stab Yingbu with spears, but Yingbu quickly grabbed the spear with his hand and directly killed the soldier. Pull down the wall.

Yingbu directly took advantage of this gap and climbed onto the city wall.

"The enemy has boarded the city wall!" The civilians were frightened and fled to the rear after discovering Yingbu who was like a demon, while the Qin army on the city wall wanted to surround and kill Yingbu.

"Brothers, follow up!" Yingbu roared, held his shield against the Qin army, then swept the Qin army with a short halberd, and then chopped Huashan with another move. The short halberd was flying up and down by Yingbu, and soon he Killed 5 Qin soldiers, and there seemed to be only these Qin soldiers on this section of the city wall. After killing these people, it gave Yingbu a chance to breathe. Not only that, the soldiers following Yingbu also continued from this section of the city wall. After boarding, a dozen soldiers soon joined forces with Yingbu to expand their defense area. "Form up, brothers, if we hold on we will win!" Yingbu shouted at the top of his lungs.

The soldiers of the Qin army were in charge, and the people dared to throw stones under the supervision of the Qin army, but they did not dare to fight the rebels head-on. As long as the rebels climbed onto the city wall, the people would flee for their lives quickly.

At this time, the Qin army in other defense areas also discovered Yingbu and the others. The Qin army soldiers shouted: "Drive the enemy down!"

Dozens of Qin troops gathered around and tried to drive Yingbu and the others off.

But it was already too late. Dozens of rebels had already scaled the city wall. Yingbu used himself as a sharp edge to lead dozens of rebel soldiers to block and attack from the left and right. They were so brave that the soldiers following Yingbu were encouraged and fought bravely to be the first. , but killed and dispersed the Qin army that came to support.

And because too many Qin troops came to Yingbu's defense area, which weakened the defense areas in other areas, more and more rebel soldiers boarded the city wall.

At the rebel headquarters, Xu Fan shouted happily when he saw Yingbu climbing up the city wall so quickly: "What a brave man who climbed first."

But Zhang Er's face was a bit ugly. He originally wanted to be an insider and make contributions to the rebels, but now the rebels themselves can break through the city wall. His contribution to the city is nothing, and the rebels can't do it without their brothers. Chen County could be conquered, but their brothers' first step in establishing a successful career went awry.

On the city wall, Yingbu and others rushed under the flag of the Qin army commander. Yingbu immediately pulled down the flag and threw it down the city wall.

This move greatly shocked the morale of the rebel army and the whole army cheered. However, the Qin army lost all morale and began to flee from the city wall.

At the foot of the city, Chen Yu, who had been leading his henchmen in ambush, saw the commander's flag fall on the city wall and was shocked: "No, the fighting power of the rebels has exceeded our expectations. They are about to break through Chen County."

"Brothers, follow me and kill, open the city gate to welcome the rebel army!" Chen Yu pulled out his sword and led hundreds of rangers to rush to the south gate of Chen County. At this time, there were not many Qin soldiers under the gate. Chen Yu and the others Quickly kill the Qin soldiers.

"Open the city gate quickly!" Chen Yu and several rangers opened the Chenjun city gate and lowered the drawbridge.

"Uh-huh!" Chen Junnan's city gate was opened instantly.

Seeing this scene, Xu Fan ordered: "The whole army attacks. Order Chen Lin to lead his troops to take over the arsenal of Chen County, Ge Ying to lead his troops to take over the grain and grass, and Deng Zong to lead the inspection team to inspect the entire city of Chen County to supervise the military discipline of the rebel soldiers."

Finally, Xu Fan pulled out his long arrow and said, "The rest of the troops will follow me and kill towards the governor's mansion."

County Sheriff's Office.

Gandi was not surprised when he learned that the city had been breached. He had prepared a ribbon and hung it on the beam. Then he looked in the direction of Xianyang and screamed: "Your Majesty, I did my best."

After saying that, he hung up the silk and kicked over the desk.

 Some readers actually said that the First Emperor had a good temper and left behind the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

  He was a man who fought hard all the way to the end. The nobles of the six countries were either killed by him or imprisoned by him.

  Throughout the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, the leaders of the rebel armies were Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Er, Chen Yu, Chen Ying, Peng Yue, Yingbu and other powerful men who were somewhat famous in the local area. On the contrary, the nobles and royal families were all supported by these powerful men. Yes, the real rebel army led by nobles was Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, and the Tian clan of Qi State. Apart from these two places, there were no other rebel armies led by nobles. This all means that the First Emperor did not completely wipe out the nobles of the six countries.

  It was because the First Emperor wiped out the nobles that there was room for the local powerful to survive. But if he wanted to wipe out the powerful, the First Emperor could not do this. He could only use a self-reported land plan to recognize the land of the local powerful.

  It was these powerful forces who united with the officials of the Qin Dynasty to carve up the entire Qin Dynasty. If you look at the history books, you will know that the rebels could persuade dozens of cities with just one lobbyist. Did you know that the rebels in Chen Sheng's territory only needed to enter Guanzhong from Chen County? It lasted for three months. During this period, only Li You, the governor of Sanchuan County, resisted. Do you really think that the collapse of a powerful empire was without reason?
