"Hurry up, let the soldiers defending the city must swear to the death."

Sheng Qi didn't care about the injuries on his body, pointed to the big tent outside, and said sharply.

Hearing that the Qin army was attacking the city, the rebels were also frightened, don't look at them with an army of 50,000, and they occupy Xingyang, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but after all, they are all children of farmers.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, as the leaders of the peasant uprising, recruited their subordinates and soldiers were no exception, and they were completely different from the specially trained old Qin people.

Know any ragtag army?! They are a ragtag army.

The military camp lacks momentum, and looking at their appearance one by one, it is easy to think of an idiom: crooked melons and cracked dates.

To have momentum or not, to have strength or not, although it occupies an innate advantage, it is also a grasp that I don't understand.

Throughout the ages, whether it was the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings, or the Han Shantong Red Turban uprising, or Li Zicheng's peasant uprising, they could not escape defeat after all.

The most important reason for this lies in the overall quality of the army, which is difficult to compare with those big gates, of course, not without exceptions.

The rebels in Xingyang City entered a state of battle, looking at the 200,000 troops outside the city, they were frightened, but they were ready to send arrows.

You can only bite the bullet, pull the bow and set arrows, put the stones on the city wall, and the city gate is also held up with stone carts to prevent the Qin army from breaking through the city gate.

"Kill!!"

The Qin army launched an attack, the formation was amazing, it was terrifying, and for a while, the Qin army in armor under the city was like ants, roaring and surging.

The rebels swallowed hard, they were a little afraid, but from the day they rebelled, they were destined to fight a decisive battle.

This is the only way for them, and it is also the path they have chosen.

"Archer, prepare!!"

At this moment, the two armies are fighting, and the atmosphere is very tense and solemn.

However......

Just when the two armies were about to start a battle, suddenly, the Qin army boiled and retreated.

The Qin army suddenly attacked and retreated, which made people a little confused.

At this time, the rebels in Xingyang ran to the Shengqi tent and said, "General, the Qin army has withdrawn. ”

"Withdrawing troops?"

Katsuchi asked puzzled, no wonder I heard that the things outside were much smaller just now, and it turned out that the troops had been withdrawn.

"Maybe the Qin army is afraid of us, so good, as long as the army arrives, we can come to meet with the outside." Katsuchi said.

For the sudden withdrawal of the Qin army, he also breathed a sigh of relief, if the Qin army really wanted to attack with all its might, it was really a bit troublesome, and it was unknown whether it could hold out until the army arrived.

……

On the other side, the thief was completely stunned, he couldn't understand what Meng Yi was thinking in his heart, he suddenly sent troops, and suddenly withdrew his troops, and withdrew his troops before the battle started, he couldn't help but be he, and the others didn't understand it at all.

"My lord, is this your bloodless strategy?" The thief asked.

Meng Yi smiled and said nothing, at this time Xiang Yu walked over, Meng Yi nodded at him, and said, "How are you preparing?" ”

Xiang Yu said: "Everything is prepared according to your wishes. ”

Hearing the conversation between the master and servant, the thief, as a person in the body, was puzzled or confused, such as the second monk who was confused and couldn't understand what they were doing.

When Meng Yi heard that everything was ready, he immediately summoned the generals, and after a short time, a total of more than ten deputy generals gathered in the camp.

Meng Yi said: "Xiang Yu, Wang Fen, Zhao Gang, Li Duan、...... Wait for the order! ”

"The last general will obey orders."

"Ten of you, in groups of two and two, launch an attack on Xingyang every half an hour, remember that you can only shout but not attack, stay under the city, withdraw your troops immediately, and if you are afraid to fight, you will be killed!!"

"The last general commands."

Ten men were divided into five groups, each leading an army of 5,000 men to attack the city, while the rest were repaired in place, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Then, Xiang Yu and the others went to investigate the matter, but only the thief was not arranged.

It stands to reason that this kind of major event, how can there be less thieves? But Meng Yi just didn't arrange him.

Seeing that the brothers all had their own things to do, the thief was very dissatisfied, he found Meng Yi and asked, "My lord, why do Xiang Yu, Li Duan and others have something to do, but they isolate me." ”

"Do you have an opinion?"

"Of course." The thief also responded unceremoniously, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will have an opinion, no wonder the thief has a complaint, and said unhappily: "Isn't it that adults think I'm a thief, I'm afraid it's a big deal?!" ”

Meng Yi's eyes immediately lit up and said, "Presumptuous!" ”

"Adults atone for their sins, I just said what I thought, if it wasn't for the adults who were prejudiced against me, why would they isolate me alone."

Meng Yi said: "Since you are here, then I will also tell you the truth, and keep you because I have other uses." ”

Well?!

A hint of strangeness flashed in the thief's eyes, and he said, "Your Excellency didn't lie to me?" ”

Meng Yi hooked his fingers, let him come close to his ear, whispered, and didn't know what to say in his ear.

After listening to this, the thief was shocked, and immediately showed a look of guilt, and said, "The subordinates are wrong to blame the adult." ”

Meng Yi still looked majestic, and he said, "I have already selected someone for you who will cooperate with your operation this time. ”

After finishing speaking, Meng Yi looked outside the tent and said, "Come in." ”

After a while, more than a dozen people walked in from outside the tent, the thief was the king of thieves, and his eyes were unique and vicious, and the first thing he saw about these people was to find their differences.

These men walked lightly and moved with a sharp whim, and those who knew the know could tell that they were all thieves.

"My lord, they ......"

"From the same background as you."

"Sure enough." The thief said, "But how can there be such a person around the adult?" ”

Meng Yi snorted and said, "You are not the first, and of course you will not be the last, they are all dark forces that I have secretly established. ”

Meng Yi established the "Dark Ministry", and these people were only known to Meng Yi, Fusu and Meng Tian, and the others did not know their existence at all, even the First Emperor did not know their existence.

Now that Meng Tian is dead, the only people who know their secret are Fusu Gongzi and Meng Yi.

The Shadows, Meng Yi's elite troops, they were the most elite candidates in the army, and they had undergone rigorous training, and some of them focused on different aspects.

These people were all famous pickpockets before joining the dark department, but now they have reformed and become Meng Yi's right-hand men.

"My lord really admires my subordinates." The thief smiled bitterly.

Meng Yi's wisdom and talent, as well as his strategy, are destined to be extraordinary, and now, the thief's understanding of Meng Yi can be regarded as deeper.

"Thief, tonight, you will lead the team, and everything will go according to plan." Meng Yi said.

"The subordinates will not fail in their mission."

The thief clenched his fists and said, this is the first time he has sent troops to fight, and he has been entrusted with a heavy task by Meng Yi, even if he dies, he must complete the task.

Before they could leave, Meng Yi took out wooden boards with their details written on them, as well as their home addresses.

"I have ordered someone to send a hundred taels to your family, and even if you die, they will be rich and worry-free for the rest of their lives." Meng Yi said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked in their hearts, but they didn't expect Meng Yi to be so thoughtful.

If their only worry is their family, then now that their worries are gone, they can really give it a go.

The thief said: "The kindness of the lord, I will swear to repay it, if we don't take Xingyang, we will come to see you." ”

Those who participated in tonight's operation have no worries, they can completely give it a go.

"When you are triumphant, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds." Meng Yi said, "Go ahead! Fight for the glory of the Empire!! ”

"Whoa!"

……

––––––

Inside the city of Xingyang.

The rebels just said that they had rested for half an hour, and then the news came: "General, something is wrong, the Qin army has attacked again." ”

Sheng Qi just breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could come back to his senses, Qin Jun came again, and he said, "Immediately put the whole army on alert." ”

The rebels had just been put on alert, and then there was another message: "General, the Qin army has withdrawn again." ”

"Withdrawn again?"

Sheng Qi scratched his head, thinking to himself what the hell was Qin Jun doing?! Send troops and withdraw troops?!

"Order the whole army to rest."

As a result, as soon as the rebels withdrew, another wave of Qin troops attacked again, and received spies to report: "General, the Qin army has attacked again." ”

"The Qin army has withdrawn again."

"The Qin army attacked again."

"The Qin army has withdrawn again."

……

The troops led by Xiang Yu kept attacking to keep the enemy on high alert, and then immediately withdrew their troops, so that the Qin army could take turns to rest, but the rebels were going to be busy.

One moment is highly stressed, the other is extremely relaxed, and switching between tension and relaxation can easily make people fatigued.

After the wheel battle of the Qin generals, the rebels were really very tired, although they did not fight, their energy was quickly exhausted.

When night fell, the rebels who had been played by the Qin army for a day were completely wilted with the cool eggplant.

Sheng Qi was choked by the Qin army, tired and sweaty, and said: "Damn, the Qin army has finally stopped, I didn't expect them to consume us in this way, as long as it lasts for two more days, the end of the Qin army is coming." ”

"No, no, no, Lao Tzu is too tired, I need to sleep for a while, make the eyes of the soldiers defending the city widen, and prevent the Qin army from launching a real attack."

After finishing speaking, Sheng Qi's snoring sounded like a war drum, and he, the general lying on the bed, was tired enough by the Qin army, not to mention that those soldiers were even more tired.

As a result, many people fell asleep with their heads upside down, and snoring sounded one after another.

Even the soldiers defending the city kowtowed and tried to sleep without listening.

Just when the rebels were in a state of exhaustion, in the dark night, there was already a small team that bypassed the ambush of the main rebel army and entered the back mountain, preparing to infiltrate Xingyang City.
