Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 182 The Death of Li Si (Part [-])

Chen Sheng soon sent many envoys to various places with his edict of appointment.The uprisings in various places accepted Chen Sheng's canonization on the surface, but in fact they did their own things.

Liu Ji was also canonized by Chen Sheng as Peigong and Duwei, and was responsible for commanding Peixian, Qixian, and Liuxian.This made Liu Ji even more emotional. At this time, he already had more than 6000 horses.

Just when Chen Sheng's envoy was going to Wu County, Xingyang County, Sanchuan County.

"General! Isn't this Li You too difficult? If we go east, he will lead the troops east; if we go west, he will lead the troops west! This is to fight us to the death!" Wu Guang's deputy Tian Zang cupped his hands and said to him.

"General Tian, ​​don't be impatient! As long as we attract Li You, we will create a favorable opportunity for the general to attack Qin. Even if we fail, we have contributed a lot! Besides, we may not necessarily fail." Wu Guang said swearingly.

"In these few fights, we either lost troops or lost generals. Besides, Li You once served under Meng Tian's tent, and he is well versed in the art of war! How can our army defeat him?" Tian Zang uttered different voices.

"General Tian is too worried! This general has already decided that there is no need to say more! Everyone, step down!" Wu Guang waved his hand impatiently.

"The last general will leave!" Tian Zang and the others couldn't say anything, so they could only bow their hands and retreat.

Tian Zang has long disliked Wu Guang, a farmer who doesn't understand military affairs, commanding him, but he was the original follower of Chen Sheng's uprising.As the biggest leader of the rebel army besides Chen Sheng, Tian Zang could only swallow his anger.

On the second day, Wu Guang led a growing army of [-] to attack Li You's camp.

Li You has only 1 troops under his command, but these [-] people are all elite and well-equipped.How could the [-] peasant rebels who were equipped with hoes capture their well-arranged camps?
After leaving behind thousands of corpses, Wu Guang withdrew his army and returned to the camp.

Wuguan.

After discussing with Zhou Wen's army, on the second day, the whole army pressed forward and planned to capture Wuguan in one battle.

With the banners flying, Zhou Wen looked at Wuguan City not far away from the army formation and began to give orders.

Immediately, thousands of arrows shot from the bow and crossbow.The Qin army on the tower raised their shields one after another to resist this wave of bows and arrows.At the same time that Zhou Wen's army shot out the bows and arrows, the first batch of troops charged towards the city wall at the fastest speed.

The ladder was set up, and Zhang Chujun began to climb the city wall.At this time, the bows and crossbows under the city also stopped.The crossbowmen of the Qin Army began to shoot arrows on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Qin Army also hit Zhang Chujun who was climbing up with wood and stones.

However, Zhang Chujun had too many people climbing the city, and some people successfully climbed the city wall from time to time.But in an instant, he was beheaded by Qin Jun again, and his body was used as a stone and other objects to smash Zhang Chujun on the ladder.

The first batch of sergeants who attacked the city lost more than 2000 soldiers and retreated, and the Qin army in the city also lost nearly 500 soldiers.Gongsunye, who was the first to issue a military order, began to charge under the cover of bows and crossbows as the second batch of siege troops.

With his own soldiers, Gongsunye successfully boarded the city wall and began to strangle the Qin soldiers and take Zhang Chu's army to the city wall.When Zang Xiong found Gongsunye, he carried a spear and brought his own soldiers to kill him.The two fought more than ten moves, and Zang Xiong was defeated, and soon there were several stab wounds on his chest and arms.Li Ye saw it, and abandoned several Zhang Chujun to attack Gongsunye.

Soon there were more and more Zhang Chujun on the city wall, and the Qin army began to be tired of dealing with Zhang Chujun on the city wall.

With a "bang", the gate of the city was smashed by Zhang Chujun.Seeing this, Zhou Wen ordered the whole army to attack the city, and then personally led the cavalry to the city gate.

"Brother! The gate of the city is broken, and the enemy army has already entered! Withdraw!" Li Cang came up from the tower, beheading the enemy army beside Li Ye while persuading him.

Abandoning Gongsunye, Li Ye fled Wuguan with Li Cang, Zang Xiong and more than a thousand troops.

Wuguan was captured, and Zhou Wen and the generals in the army became very angry.In order to rectify the army, Zhou Wen temporarily left the army in Wuguan to wait for orders and rectify military discipline on the grounds of reporting to King Chen.

On the road, Li Ye and others met Su Jiao and others who led an army of [-] to reinforce them. They joined Su Jiao's army after explaining the situation of Wuguan being captured by Zhou Wen's army.

Su Jiao's army built a camp in the southern area of ​​Shangnan, intending to prevent Zhou Wen from continuing to advance westward.And sent people to Xianyang to report to Zhao Gao, asking for more troops!

…………

Xianyang City, Zhao Gao's mansion.

After receiving Li You's good news again, Zhao Gao was very angry, and he didn't know how many times he dropped the dishes.

"If Li You wins a few more times, wouldn't Li Si be able to get out of the dungeon with these achievements? No way? I have to find a way!" After calming down, Zhao Gao thought carefully.

"Report! General Su Jiao urgently reports! Wuguan has been breached by General Zhang Chu and Zhou Wen, and the army is now building a defense line in Shangnan. Please send troops to reinforce the prime minister as soon as possible!" A sergeant who delivered the news folded his hands and reported to Zhao Gao.

"What? Zhou Wen is too powerful this time! How come the important pass of Wuguan has been breached?" Zhao Gaoben was thinking about how to eliminate Li Si, but when he was disturbed and wanted to get angry, he was a little shocked when he heard the news.

"Except for the soldiers and horses guarding Xianyang, I have no soldiers and horses in my hands! Do I have to give up Xianyang and run to the north?" Zhao Gao waved his hand to signal the sergeant to go down, and began to think again.

"Wait! This matter may be a fuss!" Zhao Gao thought happily as if he suddenly thought of something.

On the second day, Zhao Gao went to the palace to meet Hu Hai and revealed that Li Si and his son Li You had colluded with the rebellious party.As a result, the chaotic party has grown bigger, and now it has broken through Wuguan.And Li You also accepted the canonization of the traitor Chen Sheng, and Li Si was also canonized by Chen Sheng as Prime Minister of the Right Kingdom.

How could Hu Hai know the news from the outside world in the palace, so he was so angry that he ordered Li Si's family to be dragged to the downtown area and beheaded as an example to others.

After solving the serious problem in his heart, Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief.But he had to face a big problem. He asked Hu Hai to go to court and explained the severe situation in the court.

Many civil servants and military generals in the court were a little scared when they heard this, and only one of them came out immediately and said: "Young Minister Zhang Han is willing to lead the army to fight!"

"The loyalty of the Shaofu is commendable! However, there is no army in the court for the Shaofu to command!" Hu Hai first praised Zhang Han under Zhao Gao's gesture, and then said.

"I know that there are still hundreds of thousands of troops available!" Zhang Han continued to clasp his hands after hearing this.

"Where?" Hu Hai asked happily after hearing this.

"Lishan!" Zhang Han replied, "There are still more than 30 prisoners in Lishan. Your Majesty can leave 40 to continue building the mausoleum. He ordered [-] Lishan prisoners to be sent to the army, so that the prisoners can be restored by defeating the rebellious army." Freedom is the condition. I believe these people will be willing to serve His Majesty and Great Qin!"
