Back to the Qin Dynasty as a prince

Chapter 120: The End of Longxi

Ji County.

On the cold and windy street, the patrolling guards who clench their necks against the foot of the wall from time to time are looking around vigilantly.If the security in Ji County is not complete, there are spies from the Yu family working carefully. You must know that Xiao He has been assassinated several times when he went out to lead the team to reward the troops.

After all, Longxi is the territory that the Yu family has been operating for a long time, although Ji County is within the scope of the Li family's influence.But as soon as the Yu family took action, Li Chao, the head of the Li family, and the old people in Didao were all arrested. The Li clan who stayed in their hometown in Ji County quarreled and couldn't get things done. If it wasn't for Xiao He's influence, they might still be hesitating whether to surrender fish house.As a result, the Li family's influence in the eastern half of Longxi dropped to freezing point.

There are many spies left behind by the Yu family, spying on the enemy, assassinating important people, and disturbing the order in the city. These are the top tasks of the Yu family's spies.There are soldiers patrolling the streets every day, and the fires that ignite from time to time completely burnt down the houses. Under the cold wind, it is very easy for civilians who have lost their shelter from the cold to freeze to death.For this reason, Xiao He didn't know how many gray hairs he had to worry about before he settled down.

It has been eight days since the most dangerous time in Jixian County, and it is still terrifying to think about it now.

Eight days ago, the Yu family stormed the four gates of Ji County, apparently determined not to spare any life in Ji County.Such a situation ignited the mourning mentality in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city defense of Jixian County. Since the city is destroyed, the city is dead, and the city is dead.

The defenders who fought back were indeed able to hold on for a while, but the massive siege army made the defenders' meager strength even more stretched.

Because of the damage to the city wall and the lack of siege equipment, the defenders lost the most advantageous means of counterattack on the city wall, so they had no choice but to start a fierce battle with the Yu family rebels, wall by brick.

A steady stream of defenders climbed up the ladders on the not-so-high city walls of Jixian County and quickly fought.The two sides fought repeatedly on the narrow city wall, and the Yujia rebels, who had the ladders to continuously reinforce their troops, obviously had more confidence.The situation at the south gate was even more frustrating. The collapse of the city wall made the defenders lose the biggest obstacle to intercepting the Yujia rebels.If Qing Ni hadn't led his personal guards to climb out of the dead for several times to drive the enemy out, once the South Gate fell, the fall of the entire Ji County would be inevitable.

Fortunately, there is no end to the road.

Xiao He led the peasants to repair the city wall, and on the way he heard that the other three gates were in critical condition and fell severely.For a man in his prime, a fall is of course no big deal.But the heavy and sad situation at this moment made everyone feel a sense of doom!But Xiao He was not in such a mood at all, Xiao Heru who was supported up was as if possessed by a demon, singing and dancing excitedly.

At first, everyone thought that Xiao He was disregarding his own image to boost the morale of everyone's counterattack, and everyone smiled copiously and didn't take it seriously.However, when they saw that Xiao He was still like this after a while, they realized something was wrong.

At this moment, the scattered snowflakes falling from the sky have already attracted their attention.This year's snow came a little late. If it was early, it would be difficult to defend the city, but it would be even more difficult for the siege troops.But right now, the four doors almost lost one of them. No matter how snowy and cold the weather is, can they still stop those Yu family rebels?I'm afraid that the soldiers defending the city in cold weather and lacking supplies can't even melt their hands and feet.

But at this moment Xiao He was still screaming and dancing excitedly.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the ashes-like expectations in their hearts were rekindled in vain.They all looked at Xiao He, expecting to ask: "Does Mr. Xiao have a plan to survive the desperate situation?"

Pointing to the sky, Xiao He laughed loudly and said, "If the sky does not perish, I will be in Ji County, if the sky will not perish, I will help Mr. Su, and if the sky will not perish, I will be Da Qin!"

There was a blush on everyone's cheeks, Xiao He unexpectedly had a way to restore Ji County who was in the worst embarrassment!

Of course Xiao He has a solution, but he is not absolutely sure.

To mobilize the civilian husband, the first thing Xiao He has to solve is the problem of defending the south gate.At this time, the defenders had to face the four-door onslaught of the rebels, and they had no way to concentrate on repairing the city defense.However, if the south gate is not repaired, it will definitely be breached again.But when Xiao He came up with this method, it became the first place to practice it.

The peasants chanted chant one by one, carried the big vats, and raised the big barrels to carry the river water coming in from Goulian to the south gate.It happened that the south gate was close to the river in the city, and the peasants and soldiers carried buckets of icy cold water up the city wall.Under the command of the officers, they fell to the edge of the city wall.

At this moment, there are still Yujia rebels who are still unwilling to give up and want to attack from the south gate with the most powerful troops.After all, there is a dilapidated city wall here.However, in this world so cold that your breath turns into ice, what is more unbearable than having a bucket of cold water poured on you?When a bucket of water comes down, the heat from the whole body will be dissipated.Even if the icy taste doesn't make you freeze to death, at least half a month will lie in bed recuperating from typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases.

But the defenders obviously didn't stop there.

The water stains covered the entire city wall, and the thin water quickly covered the city wall.Especially the dilapidated city wall, which was obviously being taken care of. The signs of buckets of cold water gradually condensing into ice caused cheers to be heard from the top of the city.

Compared with the broken wall with a larger gap, the signs on the surface of the city wall are more obvious.In this season when piss can turn into ice, the thin water stains on the city wall quickly turned into thin ice.The morale of the peasants and soldiers who saw the results was even higher, and buckets of water were quickly poured down.The thickness of the ice on the city wall increased rapidly, and after a few quarters of an hour, a crystal clear and clean ice wall was revealed.And the gap at the broken wall has been filled with ice blocks, and even the extended ice blocks have increased the thickness of the broken wall, which is stronger than Xianyang's thick city gate.

The mirror-like city wall blinded the rebels of the Yu family and inspired the hearts of the defenders.Although the repair of the city wall was initially completed, the effectiveness of the repair made everyone on the city wall a little worried.However, the people here certainly do not include the instigator Xiao He.Because at this moment Xiao He has left the scene.

After Xiao He saw the effect of directing the sprinkling of water, he led Qing Ni and the last [-] or so reserves in the city to the west gate, where the attack and defense were the worst.Xiao He wants to carry out the trick of sprinkling water into ice in the place where the Ximen Yu family invested the most. The more the Yu family invests, the greater the casualties will be.

Leaving aside the west gate, which has no immediate effect, there are still more than [-] Yu family rebels waiting at the south gate, who are unwilling to leave and wait for the opportunity.Seeing that the defenders repaired the city defenses in such a short time, Yu Xinfeng, the leader of the Nanmen Yu Family Rebel Army who was extremely furious and guilty, of course had to make a decision.More than a thousand people carried ladders, manipulated boxcars, crashed cars and other siege equipment to the south gate.

Xiao He's method is really useful, and it is very practical and effective.The smooth and clean ice wall has a beautiful appearance, but also has a powerful effect.The smooth wall makes it difficult for the ladder to climb. The ladder has gone through hardships to the city wall, and just after it is put on, it only needs a slight push from the soldiers on the top of the wall, and it will quickly slide to the side.The ice cubes at the broken wall were obviously not heavy enough to break through. Even if Yujia even pulled the precious crash car up, it would be futile.

At this moment, the defenders on the city wall obviously have a defense method that will never be cut off in the short term: splashing water.In the season when water turns into ice, no matter whether it is pouring cold water or throwing ice cubes down like stones, the Yujia rebels obviously cannot bear it.

…………

The 35th year of the First Emperor, December 26th.The Yu family's rebels broke their wings at the south gate. On the same day, the rapidly condensed ice wall blocked the Yu family's rebels from advancing.But at this time, the Yu family obviously didn't know that Fusu had already ruthlessly stirred up in the stomach of the "Iron Fan Princess" of the Yu family.

December 26 was a particularly peaceful day in Ji County.Because of the appearance of the ice wall, it was difficult for the Yu family to launch a strong attack.Because of several failed sieges, the damage of the Yu family had reached a horrifying number.In order to attack by force, especially in Jixian County, which was defended by a strong army, Yujia launched an extremely cruel siege battle under the morale of the army inspired by the Yu family.

In any case, the defenders of the city had an advantage in the battle, so in order to offset these advantages, the Yujia paid an extremely heavy price.There were nearly 2000 wounded soldiers who were recuperating in Ji County, and the Yu family paid nearly 6000 casualties in order to achieve this result.The number of kills and injuries achieved by three times the effort did not reach the result of breaking even a city wall.Even in the most dangerous situation in Ji County, the city wall was not captured by the rebels.

The Yu family paid such huge casualties, but did not get the results they deserved.This is extremely heavy on the morale of the Yu family, and the general attack as of the 26th has caused the Yu family's ordnance, military supplies, and military supplies to reach a huge number.The result of the failure made the Yu family no longer have the strength to launch an attack in a short period of time, not even the strength to launch a fierce attack in one place.

The Yu family, who was forced to become silent, finally found out that they waited until the 27th.The supplies that should have been sent from the rear of Wuling between the 24th and 26th were not delivered to the front line bit by bit.And the clues given by the intelligence were cut off when they approached Didao.

The cold and silent atmosphere froze the air in the entire Yujia military tent, and everyone calculated the worst outcome in horror.

On the 28th, Fusu returned to heaven.Standing on the ground for the first time in a month.At the same time, Fusu, who had mastered Wuling, of course intercepted the military resources sent to the Yu family's front line very straightforwardly.Fusu, who had regained control of the power, asked Teke to contact the Mohist forces. Through the alliance between Teke and the remnants of the Li family and the Mohist forces, Fusu rescued Li Chao, the head of the Li family, and many elders who were trapped in the prison.Leading the expanded rebel army, Fusu entered Didao, the county town, with only 500 people.

In the 36th year of Shihuang, the first day of the first lunar month.The New Year, which should have been joyful, was broken by the drumbeat of war.After receiving the secret letter from Fusu, the reinforcements of the Great Wall Corps stationed at Yiqu City in Beidi County quickly picked up the rations needed for only seven days, and marched to Longxi with five thousand elite troops.

The fifth day of the first lunar month.Fengxiang, which is closer to Ji County.The court reinforcements, which had been stagnant for half a month, heard that Didao had recovered the fish.
