After the release of the article on the rebellion, it quickly spread all over the world, and suddenly the world shook: there were those who rejoiced, those who scolded, and those who laughed, and the already chaotic situation suddenly became even more turbulent!

It's just that Fusu couldn't hear these for a while, and after a little rest in Yingcheng for three days, he led his troops to cross the Yangtze River north, and the troops went straight to the county!

This time, Fusu's outfit was different: he took off the dark iron essence armor, changed into the black dragon emperor robe made in a hurry, and matched it with a luxurious crown made of South Sea pearls also temporarily, although it was in a hurry, it was also majestic and imperial. It's just a circle of filial piety wrapped around his left arm, which looks majestic and desolate!

When the Qin soldiers learned that the First Emperor had been killed by traitors, they were all grief-stricken. As the generation of emperors who commanded them to sweep the six kingdoms, the First Emperor had a high status in the hearts of the Qin army and no one could replace him. All the Qin soldiers wrapped their arms around filial piety, murderous, and looked like mourning soldiers fighting to death!

Because the fall of Nanjun did not take long for the surrounding counties to surrender to the thief army due to the chaos, the city guards of the counties were basically the officials of the original Qin State. So, however, on the seventh day, 400,000 Qin troops joined forces in Nanjun and besieged the city of Nanjun!

There were only 10,000 rebels in Nanjun City, led by the general Tian Jian, who was shocked when he saw the Qin army at this time, and hurriedly sent a large army to Nanyang for help!

Nanyang City. Former Taishou Mansion. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and more than a dozen generals under their command are sitting around the discussion!

Chen Sheng is tall, with a square face and a wide mouth, eagle eyebrows, and a bit of majesty. It is really worthy of a warrior who said 'the ambition of the bird's nest and the bird'. At this time, wearing the so-called royal robe, although it still looks reckless, it also has a bit of a kingly bearing.

Next to him is Wu Guang, who is very different from the mighty Chen Sheng: not only is he slender and thin, but he also has a pair of phoenix eyes that are shining, and he looks shrewd and strong everywhere! As the number two person in the army. Wu Guang also has considerable coercion

And the two of them were followed by more than a dozen rebel generals. Although all of these generals were armed with swords. It's just that the military appearance can't be compared with the regular army at all, and the expression is even more lacking. However, it is no wonder that at present, in the rebel army of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, except for the general Zhou Wen, who was a general of the old Han and had some combat experience, the rest of the people were either farmers who farmed the land two or three months ago, or they were nobles who had nothing to do in the old Han, and these people did not have any real military quality at all!

Chen Sheng looked at the generals under his command, and said with a somewhat gloomy face: "Generals, General Tian Zang is here to report." The Qin army's army of 400,000 pressed the border, approaching Nanjun! Now that the situation is critical, can the generals have a good way to defend against the enemy?"

All the generals of the rebel army also knew this amazing news, and they were all worried at the moment: Fusu, as one of the several famous generals in the Qin State, was invincible in the eastern part of the country, and even a three-year-old child knew that prestige. At this moment, let these half-drawn soldiers who have just put down their hoes or brushes deal with such famous generals, of course, all the rebel generals lack confidence and look at each other one by one. There were no words for a while.

The general Han Guang is an old Han nobleman, and he is quite knowledgeable, and he is also an outstanding person among the generals of the rebel army. At this time, seeing that all the generals were silent, he said, "Great King." The Fusu army was far away in Lingnan, and the last general thought that even if he returned to the army, it would be at least a year later, but he didn't expect that our army had just started two months later. actually waved the army to kill, it seems that it should have been prepared! With unprepared versus prepared, our country currently has only three choices!"

Chen Shengdao: "Which three choices?"

Han Guang said in a deep voice: "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Know yourself and your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Strength: Our army has a total of 80,000 troops that can be mobilized at any time. 10,000 in Nanjun, 20,000 in Nanyang, and the remaining 50,000 are far away in Yingchuan; And the strength of the Qin army is as many as 400,000 people, which is really far away. Combat effectiveness: Two months ago, our officers and soldiers were basically ordinary people who farmed the land or people who were in the market, and the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and most of them had not even touched their weapons a few times, and since the beginning of the army, they have been fighting everywhere, and they have not carried out any strict training at all, so they cannot talk about how strong they are; The Qin army of the Fusu Department is a division of tigers and wolves, with excellent weapons, strict training, and experienced in a hundred battles. On generals: Fusu, Li Xin, Qiang Kui and others are all the choice of famous generals, hundreds of battles of all sizes, and rich experience in the battlefield, and the generals of our army are all people who have just temporarily entered the battle, and they cannot be compared! Therefore, after comparison, the best strategy of our army at present is: immediately abandon Nanjun and Nanyang, go north to join Zhou Wen and Zhou City, and then enter Wei, Zhao and other places, unite the princes and then fight with the Fusu army! Zhongzhi: In view of the large gap between the strength of the enemy and our army, our army should immediately surrender to the Fusu headquarters, and with the benevolence and faith of Fusu, we should not be treated badly; Strategy: Nanjun has been besieged to death, it is useless to save it, you should quickly transfer back to Zhou Wen and Zhou City, stick to Nanyang, and fight to the death with Fusu! The above three strategies, please decide on the king!"

Chen Sheng pondered for a moment when he heard this, he was not a stupid person, he naturally knew that the current situation was not good, and frowned and said, "What do the generals think?"

General Tian Dao hesitated for a moment and said, "King, I think what General Han said is the most appropriate, and you should follow the good policy!" When the generals heard this, they all agreed! It seems that these rebel generals lacked the courage to fight against the Fusu army.

Wu Guang frowned a little and said: "It is not easy for us to lay this foundation, Nanyang and Nanjun are both important transportation places and very rich, if you give up so easily, it is a pity!" What's more, it is still unknown whether the rest of the princes will accept us. I don't think the best strategy is advisable. Of course, the middle strategy is even more not, we are all rebels. With the harshness of Qin's law, I am afraid it will not be spared; Even if we are let go for the time being, we will be a general, and in the future, we will inevitably look up to others and be angry everywhere, so what happiness can there be!"

Han Guang was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "General Wu is planning to fight to the death with the Qin army!?" Wu Guangfeng looked at him and said sharply: "We are waiting for the rebellion, it is a matter of playing with our heads, if we are afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back, what is the big deal!?" Although the Qin army is strong, our rebel army has high morale, soldiers use their lives, and they hate Qin's tyranny even more, as long as they plan properly, they may not have no chance of winning! How can you surrender without a fight, or abandon the city and flee!" This Wu Guang is really a bold outlaw!

Chen Sheng also seems to be reluctant to build a hard-earned foundation and a throne that he has won with great difficulty. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "What General Wu said is very true, Nanyang City is the key to the world, the city is high and wide, and the grain and grass are abundant, which is enough to resist!" If I wait to attract the Qin army under Nanyang City, and then call on the princes of the world to come to the rescue, it is not without a chance of winning!"

Han Guang smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said in his heart: "You are full of confidence, how can you farmers imagine the power of Fusu!" Although he is a general under Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. Han Guang, who was born in the aristocracy, still looks down on the two!

Indeed, as the leaders of a peasant rebel army, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang did have a problem with their strategic vision, otherwise they would not have been defeated in a few months in the original history! This is exactly what the saying is: its rise is also vigorous, and its decline is also sudden!

The generals saw that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had already made a decision, and it was difficult to object, so they had to agree.

Chen Sheng then nodded and said, "Okay, then let's decide like this, immediately transfer back to Zhou Wen and Zhou City's army, and stick to Nanyang." At the same time, as the leader of the alliance, he issued an order to the rebels of the world, so that they could gather to help. As for Nanjun ......" Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "It has been surrounded by the Qin army, and it is useless to save it." Just leave it to fate!" The generals couldn't help but feel a little gloomy when they heard this, after all, they abandoned the life and death of 10,000 brothers. It's a bit unbearable!

Under the city of Nanyang, 400,000 Qin troops gathered, surrounding the city to the point that it was impassable, and it was difficult for birds and birds to cross. View from the top of the city. The camp of the Qin army is boundless, and there is no end in sight, and the cold light of the guns and halberds in the sky is dazzling to the eyes of the defenders of Nanjun, and they are all frightened for a while!

In the evening. Qin Junshuai's tent, Fusu and the generals are discussing!

Zhang Liang looked at the bamboo slips in front of him, and said to the generals with a smile: "Generals, there have been many good things recently, Liang is ordered by His Majesty to list them one by one, so that everyone can be happy!"

"Say it, say it!" The morale of the generals is high, and some can't wait!

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "First thing: the news that the grain transportation team of the two counties of Bashu has just delivered: Fan Tianshi, the highest military and political chief of the two counties of Bashu and Shu, announced that he will change his banner and serve His Majesty as the lord of the world, and will no longer obey the orders of Xianyang!" Oh!" Although the generals knew that Fan Tianshi was Fusu's confidant, they couldn't help but cheer!

"The second thing: It is also the news that the grain transportation team has just brought in the land, Your Majesty's family and Li Xin, Shi Lu, Qiang Kui and other generals and family members have entered Shu safely, and the rest of the generals' families have also been properly arranged!" That's great! No worries now!" The leaders immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were happy.

"The third thing: Hengshan County Taishou Su Dai announced the change of banner, with His Majesty as the new lord, and no longer obeyed Xianyang's orders. And with Poyang Ling Wu Rui as the general, he will collect a large army, prepare to march eastward, and attack the two together!"

The generals were suddenly overjoyed, and Li Xin smiled and said: "Great, in this way, all the south of the Yangtze River has fallen into the hands of our army, except for Huiji!" And once the army of Hengshan County advances eastward, I'm afraid Erxiang will have to suffer!"

Zhang Liang also said diligently: "There is also a fourth happy event: Sanchuan County, the fief of the king, also immediately announced the change of banner, and fully recruited troops to stick to the Central Plains!" The generals may not know it, but now Luoyang is in charge of everything in addition to Taishou Ji Bing, and it is His Majesty's third brother Gongzi Ying'an! In addition, the news just gotten that after Zhou Wen and Zhou City's army broke through Yingchuan County, they turned to the Tiger Prison Pass and wanted to attack Sanchuan County, but they were held by His Majesty's general Yingbu, and they were repeatedly broken within seven days, and the thieves lost their troops and returned to Nanyang!"

"Oh——!" The generals were suddenly overjoyed: with Luoyang as the center of the Central Plains campaign, it would be twice the result with half the effort! Li Xin said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Gongzi Ying'an and Yingbu have grown up, and now they can stand alone and share your majesty's worries, which is really gratifying!"

Qiang Kui said a little strangely: "The last general of the prince of Ying'an has seen it, and he can be regarded as quite heroic and martial by His Majesty and the first emperor, who is the Yingbu boy, why is he so powerful!?" I heard that Zhou Wen was also a veteran of the old Han Dynasty, he was over six sentences old, and he had rich experience in the battlefield, how could he be killed by an unknown junior in the Tiger Prison and lose his armor!?"

Just now, Fusu had been smiling beside him and didn't speak, and at this time he blinked his eyes and said, "What, General Qiang is not convinced!?" This Yingbu is an orphan picked up by Lian in Qidi back then, he is extremely talented, he has excellent martial arts at a young age, and his soldiers are outstanding, he has such a performance in the Tiger Prison, and Lian is not unusual at all!"

Qiang Kui was a little stunned and said: "Your Majesty is really a blessed person, and you can pick up a general!" When I arrive in Sanchuan County in the future, I will definitely meet him for a while. Look how heroic he is!" Li Xin smiled when he heard this: "General Qiang should be careful, Na Yingbu has extraordinary divine power since he was a child, and his majesty has to teach carefully on weekdays, and his martial arts are amazing!" Don't shed tears when you lose!" Qiang Kui suddenly shouted: "General Li Hugh wants to underestimate me, although the old man is over fifty years old, he has hundreds of catties of strength with a shake of his arms, I don't believe that I can't beat a junior!"

Seeing these two men arguing in the tent, the generals could not help but be happy. Fusu also smiled: "Okay, okay, don't make any noise!" When the time comes, just let General Qiang and Yingbu compare each other! Now let's talk about how to attack Nanjun!"

Zhao Tuo smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, there are only 10,000 rabble of thieves in Nanjun City, and it is easy to break!" If Your Majesty trusts, please pull out 50,000 soldiers and horses tomorrow! Breaking through the city pass in less than a day, making the first contribution to His Majesty's sweep of the Central Plains!"

The generals have an epiphany, this is the first achievement, and it is of great significance! hurriedly rushed to fight and fought with Zhao Tuo. Seeing that the generals' will to fight was so high, Fusu smiled and said, "Stay, stay!" Lian believes that with my 400,000 tiger and wolf army, it will be effortless to capture this small town in Nanjun. But this is the first battle of my army to the north of the Central Plains, and I must win beautifully and play majestic! So look at it by the link. How about a gambling game?"

Li Xin smiled: "I want to hear about it!" Fusu smiled: "In this way, I will send four generals to attack the city from all sides of Nanjun." Each general commands 20,000 troops, and specific troops are freely deployed. Whoever breaks the city first will be rewarded for his first merit, and the sergeant will be rewarded. And the loser will have to toast three bowls to the winner! What do you think of the generals?"

"Agreed! Agreed...... "The generals grind their fists." They all agreed.

Fusu smiled and said: "Okay, General Li Xin will attack the north, General Qiang Kui will attack the west, General Zhao Tuo will attack the south, and General Shi Lu will attack the east, can you have any objections?" The generals looked at each other. These four generals are currently the most prestigious under the Fusu tent, and they are not dissatisfied.

Fusu clapped his head and said: "Okay, it's decided, the generals will return to the camp to prepare, and tomorrow they will take the Nanjun City for Lian!" Whoa!"

In summer, the sun is a little hot, and the sun is blazing in the morning, making people a little panicked. Fusu sat on a hill about five or six miles south of Nanjun City, with a black background and a golden dragon umbrella cover, and a maid fanning the wind beside him, looking down the mountain comfortably.

In the distance, through the slightly dazzling morning light, the eight thousand Qin troops of the four phalanxes had already surrounded the Nanjun City, each with their swords unsheathed and crossbows wound, staring at their prey-Nanjun City!

Fusu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Fang Tuo, beat the drum and attack!" Whoa!"

The dull sound of war drums suddenly broke the silence of the early morning and added another fire to the already tense atmosphere of the battlefield.

Before the drums stopped, the Qin soldiers under the mountain suddenly shouted "Qin Feng!" Qin Feng! Qin Feng!" ...... "Rise up and force to the south of the county!"

From a distance, Fusu, who had excellent eyesight, couldn't help but grin contemptuously when he saw the disheveled peasant army on the city of Nanjun being in a panic pulling bows and arrows, moving earth and stones, and preparing to meet the attack. Suddenly, Fu Su had an idea, and said with a smile: "Military advisor, do you think which of these four generals will break the city first?"

Zhang Liang, who was standing beside Fusu and watching the battle, blinked his eyes and asked rhetorically, "What does Your Majesty mean?" Fusu didn't think it was angry, and thought about it and said: "Lian thinks it's Li Xin, General Li is both wise and brave, and he is a famous general in the world, so he should be able to break it first!"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Not necessarily!" Fusu was stunned and said with a smile: "What is the opinion of the military advisor?"

Zhang Liang thought for a while and said, "In fact, the combat characteristics of these four generals can be seen from their troop rationing. General Li Xin has rigorous and experienced soldiers, and among the types of troops: crossbowmen, assault infantry, and baggage soldiers have a reasonable proportion, and he is the most experienced among the four generals; General Zhao Tuo was young and sharp, and his crossbowmen were few, and he focused on strengthening the proportion of assault infantry and baggage troops, indicating that this person liked to attack quickly and was unwilling to be excessively stumbling; General Qiang Kui is brave and brave, and there are fewer crossbowmen and baggage soldiers in his department, and the assault infantry accounts for the vast majority, indicating that the attack is too strong, but he does not pay much attention to the protection and cooperation that should be placed; As for General Shi Lu, he was born as an engineering wizard, and his use of soldiers is also unique: crossbowmen and baggage soldiers account for half of the proportion in his department, and only half of the foot soldiers, which shows that this person is very good at using equipment and location to attack the city.

According to the characteristics of these four people's troops, the direction of attack, and the characteristics of the enemy defenders in Nanjun: General Qiang Kui is brave and brave, I am afraid that because the attack is too strong and sharp, he will be the first to be hit head-on by the Nanjun thief army, and his head will be broken and bloody, and he will not be able to overcome it repeatedly. I'm afraid I can't beat others. As for General Zhao Tuo, he must have launched a fierce attack after General Qiang Kui, but the suppression force in front was insufficient, although he was brave, but the Nanjun city was high and wide, and without the full cover of arrows, it was probably difficult to break the city for a while; As for General Li Xin, a famous general, and the general of the thief army, Tian Jian, must personally meet the enemy, and General Li's deployment is too step-by-step. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break the city in the first wave!"

Listening to Zhang Liang's meaning, Fusu said with some surprise: "Could it be that the military advisor is betting that General Shi Lu will win?" Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Although General Shi Lu is an engineering official, he is very talented, and this arrangement of troops shows his shrewdness. Among the four generals, his battle formation seemed to be the least threatening to Nanjun City at first glance, and the progress speed was also the slowest, so the thief army must be a little neglectful of the eastern defense and will transfer the main force to the other three parties, which gives Shi Lu an excellent opportunity to break the city. Also, Your Majesty, please see, General Shi Lu is attacking the city from the east. It happened to be carrying the sun, and the southern enemy army was facing the sun, and it was estimated that when General Shi Lu officially urged the infantry to charge. The sunlight should be the most dazzling time for the enemy forces in the eastern city. In addition, General Shi Lu is proficient in engineering technology. The north, west, and east sides of the city are surrounded by water, and the soil must be soft. Under the onslaught of a large number of catapults and crossbows, I am afraid that Nanjun Dongcheng will be the first place to collapse! Your Majesty, please see, in the east, is General Shi Lu's trebuchet more northerly and very concentrated!? Judging from these three points. The minister thinks that the winner will be General Shi Lu!"

Fusu blinked his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Awesome, awesome!" The military advisor is indeed a genius in the world, and his knowledge is very unique! In this way, let's make a bet with the military division, and the loser will be fined three glasses of wine! How?" Zhang Liang smiled: "I am willing to gamble with Your Majesty!" Good!" Fu Su said with great interest: "If this kid Li Xin loses, he must be fined ten cups of compensation when he comes back!" Everyone behind him immediately laughed and prayed silently for Li Xin!

At this moment, the siege battle had already begun: the Qin army quickly approached Nanjun City in the sound of earth-shattering war drums, and it was a covering shot from the six-stage three-ring crossbow battle array!

In the chaotic rain of arrows on the head of the city, the well-trained crossbowmen of the Qin army quickly sent out a dense arrow curtain to kill the head of the city of Nanjun, and immediately covered the head of the city. For a while, the arrows rained down Nanjun City, and blood was splashed!

And the heavy crossbows and trebuchets behind the Qin army also began to pour fire on the head of the city of Nanjun step by step, with stone chips flying and huge arrows roaring, and the peasant army at the head of the city of Nanjun was in a hurry under the fierce firepower of the Qin army!

Next, sure enough, it was the Qin army in the west of Qiangkui who roared and took the lead in using foot soldiers to rush to the head of the city of Nanjun...... The Qin army, who basically had no protection, suddenly screamed again and again, until their heads were smashed and bleeding, and their skin was burned, although they were all brave and ants, they were firmly blocked under the city wall by the peasant army for a while!

Straight and tight, it was really violent, Zhao Tuo also urged the foot soldiers from the south to start attacking the city, and just arrived at the city, the peasant army that had calmed down a little was also an overwhelming meal. Although it was not as embarrassed as the Qin army in the west, Zhao Tuo's offensive was extinguished before it could reach the city.

Fusu smiled: "Interesting, interesting!" It's exactly what the military advisor said!" As soon as the words fell, the north of the city was also shouting and killing, although I couldn't see the situation in the north of the city, but listening to the shouting and killing sound and the meteor fast horse rush report, I knew that the battle situation in the north of the city was very fierce, and the enemy general Tian Sheng really personally led the defense of the north city.

Fusu was a little surprised: "Could it really be that Shi Lu will win?" Just thinking about it, the sun had risen to the horizon of about forty and five corners, and suddenly, the flying stones outside the eastern city suddenly became dense, aiming at a hundred and ten meters wide city wall in the north. At the same time, the crossbowmen of the brigade also began to move towards this section, and for a while, the Qin army was so dense that the peasant army facing the sun on the head of the city could not raise its head, and the arrow rain of counterattack was also sparse and poor!

Nearly 100 trebuchets quickly exerted a huge effect on the ground firepower, and the dense boulders smashed the northern part of Dongcheng in Nanjun County into stone chips and crumbling. In a few moments, the huge city wall shook twice, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and it collapsed with a bang, setting up a cloud of dust and fog in the sky!

"Kill ——!" As the northerly section of Nanjun's Dongcheng suddenly collapsed, a huge gap dozens of meters long appeared, and the Qin army of the brigade was immediately driven by Shi Lu like a tide, and under the cover of the dense arrow rain on this side, they entered the gap!

10,000 Qin soldiers entered the Nanjun city from the east, which instantly changed the situation of the entire battle, and the peasant army, which was originally low morale and frightened, hastily resisted for a moment, and immediately collapsed, Shi Lu urged more than 10,000 Qin troops to immediately scatter into the city and attack the other three city walls.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the game!

Fusu, who was watching all this, blinked his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Hahaha! The military advisor is really accurate, Lian is really convinced! Come, take three glasses of wine, and punish yourself!" Wuxin chuckled and ordered the sergeant to present three glasses of water and wine, and after Fusu drank it a little unwillingly, he said dissatisfiedly: "Li Xin, this guy really doesn't give face to the Lian Chief, and Qiang Kui and Zhao Tuo don't have brains, I'll see how the Lian cleans you up later!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and prayed silently for the three generals!

Just after noon, the battle in Nanjun City was basically over, 10,000 peasant troops were annihilated, and the guard general Tian Sheng was also killed in Beicheng, which can be regarded as a tough guy!

Seeing that the war had subsided, Fusu immediately drove the army into the city, and while inspecting the military discipline in the city, he made an example of Anmin!

As soon as he entered the city, he saw Li Xin, Qiang Kui, and Zhao Tuo greeted them with unlucky faces, and they were all a little depressed. Indeed, losing to a general who was born as an engineering officer seems to be not so glorious, especially since Li Xin and Qiang Kui are both fierce generals and famous generals who have experienced a hundred battles!

"Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!" The three of them pouted, and they were still a little unconvinced, and even a little inexplicable!

Fusu snorted noncommittally: "Military Division, Lian is losing clearly, it seems that the three of them are still losing in a daze, you tell them, when they understand the loss, then come to Lian here to receive the punishment!" Whoa!" Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing and nodded his head.

Fusu drove his horse around the city, and after a look, he found that the damage to the houses in the city was not great, after all, it only took one morning to fight and it was over. It's just that the streets of the city are very dirty, and many shops and mansions even have open doors, and they are full of broken furniture, and there is no popularity at all. It seems that after the peasant army entered the southern county town, it was estimated that the slightly larger rich were all killed!

Fusu couldn't help but sneer: "A group of soil buns, in the current feudal society, you don't unite these landlord forces and merchant forces, and you still want to win the world, dream!"

Looking at it, Li Xin, Qiang Kui, and Zhao Tuo came up with a look on their faces, and Fu Su smiled: "Do you understand the loss?"

"The ministers are convinced to lose!" These three people are also straightforward!

"That's good, it's not terrible to lose to yourself, just learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses in the future! By the way, how will you be punished? Well, so be it, you have lost three glasses of wine, and at the celebration banquet tonight, you will each be fined thirty glasses of wine! That's not a heavy punishment, is it!?" Fusu smiled and said.

"Ahh Thirty cups!?" Li Xin and the three of them suddenly had bitter faces!

Gotcha, these three don't want to go back upright tonight!
