Back to the Qin Dynasty as a prince

Chapter 85: Stick to the initial victory

On December 35, the [-]th year of Qin Shihuang, Yuyanggu rebelled in Longxi. On December [-], he attacked Ji County, but was blocked at the beginning, and his bones piled up in the city.

December [-]th.That is, when Fusu was just released from the prison city, the offensive and defensive battle in Ji County had already begun.

Yuyanggu spared his life to let the local civilians fill the river, so that the sergeants on the city wall, mostly local children, did not dare to shoot and kill.In this way, without hesitating their lives to oversee the team's pressure, they beat with iron whips at every turn, and the progress of the project was carried out at a morbidly rapid pace.By the time the soldiers and horses on the city wall were replaced with soldiers and horses from other counties in Qing Ni's hands, most of the moat had been filled.

Xiao He felt sorry for the hard work of the people in the city, so he had to choose a sharpshooter to shoot and kill those supervising teams, and for a while, he delayed the progress of filling the river.

However, more than a hundred supervising teams were added to the car that got on afterwards. Fortunately, these supervising teams saw that the accuracy of the city was amazing, so they didn't dare to be too harsh on the civilian husbands.

With the efforts of more than [-] civilians, the moat, which was several feet wide, was filled with a road that was more than [-] feet long.Moreover, this long time has increased, and I am afraid that it will not take a day to completely expose the city wall of Ji County to the iron hooves of the rebels.

Kong Qianchun, the county magistrate of Ji County, ran up the city wall. His official uniform was a bit worn out, and his face was still tired.Worried, he said to Xiao He: "Doctor Xiao, the bandits have already filled the moat, if we don't open the city gate now and defeat the peasants, otherwise once the moat is filled, the enemy bandits will be able to enter the city?"

Xiao Se was calm, smiled and said to Kong Qianchun: "I'm afraid that's not right. There are many bandits. If we go out to attack at this moment, we may be able to defeat these peasants. But we can't hurt the enemy bandits. Besides, one or more It is possible that the enemy bandits were prepared twice. With preparation, the attack is useless, and the gain outweighs the loss. If the peasants come to fill the river again, they will be filled in the same way, so why bother the villagers?"

Kong Qianchun shook his head, walked away and sighed, and said to Cheng Kuang'an, the county lieutenant beside him: "Doctor Xiao is dedicated to serving the people, but his methods are too kind."

The county lieutenant, Cheng Kuang'an, was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Although Doctor Xiao has the power to take charge, he has clearly handed over the power of defense to General Qing Ni. I think General Qing Ni is quite talented, and the layout outside the city is also complete. According to what I have seen, General Qing is not in the top three when it comes to defending the city."

Kong Qianchun still had a worried look on his face, and said: "I hope, that's all. I'll go to inspect the four gates. Doctor Xiao is very talented, and Ji County will be able to guard it."

"As it should be."

outside the city.

As the moat was successfully filled, Yuyanggu's rebel army burst into shouts.Morale increased, and with the sound of drums, a group of more than [-] captains began to attack the city.

Instead, it was the catapults of the defenders who launched the attack first.

There are not many trebuchets on the city wall, but relying on the height of the city wall and taking advantage of the opportunity to throw stones, the shooting range has increased by dozens of steps.From time to time, there was news that the catapult was hit on the catapult position of the Yu family army. For a while, the offensive came to a halt.

It was Yu Chao, one of the three generals of the Yu family, who was in charge of attacking the city this time.When Yu Chao saw the catapult being attacked, he waved the flag, and the soldiers moved forward slowly in the car. As soon as the car came, it attracted the catapults on the city wall, and was hit and destroyed by the catapults erected on the city wall from time to time.However, the accuracy of the trebuchet is too poor, not even one out of ten.However, there are not many trebuchets that can be erected on the city wall, and they couldn't suppress the launch of the rebel trebuchets for a while.

The cost of the car is not low, and the fish family dare not release many.Seeing that the strategy worked, Yu Chao didn't let the car go any further.

In the first round, there were nearly 800 vehicles, and more than [-] Yu family rebels were brought with them.With a mere [-] people, I'm afraid they won't even be able to climb the city wall, Yu Chao knew that.

With a wave of the saber, the second wave of toad cars and boxcars immediately launched.Crash car, also known as rush car, is a flat four-wheeled car with a giant log firmly placed on it, and a wrestler next to it pushes the car up.

Crashing cars are used to hit the city gates, but they are definitely not the main force for attacking the city.The three crashed cars were pushed slowly towards the city gate by a dozen tall and strong warriors.On the other side, the boxcar is making rapid progress. The boxcar is made of raw cowhide covered with a wooden shed, which can be used to avoid arrow rain, flying stones, and run under the city wall to dig the city wall.More than ten boxcars were pushed towards the city wall.Most of them were soldiers with simple leather armor or even no armor, carrying ladders, or pushing boarding carts towards the west gate.

The first two parts add up to more than [-] people, and the latter has more than [-] soldiers rushing towards the city gate screaming and screaming.The soldiers on the city wall were not vegetarians either. Row after row of crossbowmen armed with step bows and hard crossbows shot one after another, dropping a bunch of feathered arrows.As long as there is no time to raise the shield, the defenders are pierced by the long feathers of the crossbow arrows, and those who are strong enough not to hurt the vitals continue to rush towards the city wall. Rush to the wall.

Thousands of people howled and rushed to the city wall, but they still had to deal with the obstacles in front of the city wall.

Thirty steps away from the city wall is the area between the moat and the city wall.Howling and rushing to the front, they must be self-reliant and brave soldiers. They flexibly dodged the arrows and flying stones shot from the city wall. They rushed to the area at the lower corner of the city wall.

The rebel soldiers at the forefront were about to put the ladder on their shoulders up to the city gate, but they suddenly disappeared on the ground.

The soldiers running at the front disappeared on the ground out of thin air, and the soldiers behind even saw it but had no time to stop and were wrapped up by the soldiers rushing from the rear, and also "disappeared" inexplicably.

It was too late to say it, and the soldiers who approached the city wall could already hear the screams coming from their feet.

"There are traps, there are traps, don't rush over here. Ah..." A clever soldier shouted loudly to report the news to the rear team, but unexpectedly the whole team charged up, and the rear team didn't have time to stop, pushing and shoving Then he was pushed into the trap again.

The continuous screams finally let the people behind know the information. At this moment, the soldiers who escaped the trap by chance are climbing the ladder and attacking the city braved the rain of crossbow arrows.

The vain stagnation of the rear team suddenly interrupted the rhythm of the siege, and a majestic military song suddenly lost its sound as if it encountered a poor-quality instrument, which was very harsh.

Qing Ni looked at the soldiers rushing over with cold eyes, and his heart was cold: "Hot soup, golden juice poured down quickly. The bow and crossbow team changed to intensive shooting!"

The trap was concealed, and suddenly successfully interrupted the siege rhythm of the rebels, making the situation of the soldiers who were attacking the city plunged into a freezing point.

Even so, the trap is a dead thing after all, and it killed many soldiers.Most of them escaped the trap by luck, or didn't trigger the trap at all.There were also thousands of these soldiers, carrying ladders and boxcars, rushing towards the city wall howling.There was even a rushing car that bypassed the trap by chance and rushed towards the west gate wall.

The trap succeeded only once, and the defenders must seize this rare opportunity.As soon as Qing Ni made a move, thousands of civilian husbands were quickly sent to carry the hot oil pan and pour it down on the city wall.Suddenly, the violent howls of the soldiers climbing on the ladder turned into shrill screams, and they fell from the ladder several feet high.Splashing boiled oil soup on the body may not be fatal for a short time, but it will definitely lose combat effectiveness.And falling from such a high height, [-]% of them will definitely be seriously injured. If they survived by luck, it is better to die than endure the severe pain.

The golden juice on the other side is even more terrifying. The golden juice is fecal water, boiled by heating, splashed on the body, and a burn can kill a person.Feces and dirt, countless viruses and bacteria, once infected, it is difficult to diagnose and treat even if the entire Tai Hospital follows.Really disgusting and effective.

On the city wall, the strong men poured the golden juice while holding their noses. The rebel soldiers avoided the golden juice soup in horror, but it was difficult to avoid the dense arrow array like a rainstorm.

Huge boulders and trees fell down, and the rebel soldiers gathered on the city wall who were attacking the city with ants were immediately devastated.The soldiers behind couldn't continue, and the front was suddenly counterattacked, and the first wave of siege personnel suffered heavy casualties.After the subsequent soldiers broke through the trap and filled the pit, the soldiers who attacked the city in front were scattered.All that remains is the smell of meat and the nauseating stench under the city walls.

The few boxcars that remained were smashed to pieces by huge boulders and trees, and kerosene was poured down on the rushing cars, leaving the flames lingering on.

Yu Chao stood on the building car and watched the development of the battlefield, his face was ashen, and after a twitch, he seemed to see the laughter of those children of the same family.Enduring the severe pain in his heart, Yu Chao gave the order to continue the strong attack.

Unexpectedly, a horse came rushing from the main formation, and said loudly: "The prime minister has an order, it's getting late today. Retreat for now!"

While Yu Chaoxin relaxed, his face turned red.The sun was shining brightly at this moment, and it was still an hour or two before dusk. Where did the sky come from?His head was a little stiff and he turned to the main formation to look at the salt, the fish rattled its teeth, and Ming Jin retreated.

Ji County.

Seeing the rebel army retreating like a tide after their first attack on the city failed, Kong Qianchun, the county magistrate of Ji County, was so happy that he almost jumped up.Cheng Kuang'an, the county lieutenant beside Kong Qianchun, was also excited.

As officials, Kong Qianchun and Cheng Kuang'an had little contact with the border counties, even here in Longxi, the Yuezhi people did not dare to violate the border, and most of them were fine.Therefore, I don't know much about military affairs.But seeing the victory in the first battle of defending the city, the two were still very excited, and all the worries about the city breaking in their hearts dissipated.On the contrary, he has a little more thought of making meritorious deeds to kill the enemy.

The two quickly ran to the city wall and found Xiao He on the Ximen tower.

A long distance away, Kong Qianchun smiled and said to Yan Yan, his old face bloomed like a blooming chrysanthemum, and said: "Doctor Xiao, the bandits and bandits are so useless now. It is not difficult to just defend the city for seven days. If not, tonight, I will Lead an army out of the city to attack at night, break through the enemy camp and return!"

Qin people are warlike, and Kong Qianchun is an old Qin person with pure blood.The warlike blood of the Qin people is hidden in his bones, and even a civil servant dares to destroy the enemy's front.

Unexpectedly, Xiao He shook his head and said: "But it's impossible."

Both Kong Qianchun and Cheng Kuang'an were stunned, Xiao He shook his head and sighed: "Ji County is small, and the supplies are also relatively small. The supplies for defending the city found are not enough, but fortunately there is no shortage of food and grass
