Chapter 393: Counterinsurgency
The early morning in autumn has a hint of coolness. A faint ray of sunlight shone on the faces of the soldiers in the garrison city www.biquge.info but it made him shiver involuntarily, and then drowsiness surged up again.
Another night passed, and the tall Linzi City was still tightly closed.
Yesterday, out of nowhere, the news came that the First Emperor was not dead. Moreover, he is leading a large army to quell the rebellion.
As soon as these words came out, half of the original tens of thousands of troops' morale was scattered.
"Boom, boom, boom"
In the distance, there was a low humming sound.
The soldiers of the city trembled slightly, and the sleepiness that had hit their hearts again suddenly disappeared.
"Enemy ...... Enemy attack! ”
Heart-rending sounds, on the high city walls, one after another.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The sound of horses' hooves, getting closer. The 10,000 cavalry led by him could already faintly see a trace of figure.
The appearance of more than 10,000 cavalry charging is not an exaggeration.
The deafening sound was enough to overwhelm these soldiers, who had not really experienced the battle.
"Arrows! Arrows! ”
In a panic, the officers who were selected in a hurry had no real combat experience at all. He had already ordered the room two hundred paces away.
Even relying on the high walls of Linzi City, the arrows did not reach the Qin cavalry.
There were almost no strong crossbows in Linzi City, only a few light crossbows and bows. After the blow, it is obviously too late to organize a wave of arrow rain.
A hundred steps, under the hunting "king" word general flag, a middle-aged man in dark red armor stared coldly at the city gate not far away.
"Wang Ben! It's Wang Ben! ”
Among the rebels, many of them were soldiers of big families, and naturally they had also seen Wang Ben who came with Fusu.
Not to mention Wang Ben's well-known name, just the appearance of a freshly dressed angry horse is worth how many men are enthusiastic about it.
However, when such a person stood opposite him. The blood no longer boiled, but as if it had fallen into a 10,000-year-old ice cave.
"Poof!"
A soldier who was secretly preparing to flee was beheaded by an officer-like man.
"What are you afraid of! The city is broken, and everyone has to die! Kill me! The officer roared as he slashed several more soldiers who had tried to escape.
"Death to those who disturb the hearts of the army!"
The so-called killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, suppressing another fear with fear, has finally had a certain effect. Many of the soldiers who had been preparing to flee returned to their original positions.
Outside the city gate, more than 10,000 Qin riders were already less than fifty steps.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
A dense rain of arrows poured towards the city walls. The rebels who had originally come out of the way suddenly retracted their heads again.
"A rabble!" Wang Ben, who was the leader, couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard the screams coming from the city wall.
"Buzz!"
Wang Ben raised the sword in his hand high, and the pale cyan battle spirit slowly rose from the body of ten thousand Qin horses.
Before the battle spirit was completely condensed, he heard Wang Ben shouting: "Break it for me!" ”
"Boom!"
The earth-shattering sound was accompanied by violent tremors. The originally sturdy city gate was like a thin layer of silk, shattered to the ground.
"Kill!"
Wang Ben let out a low shout, and then more than 10,000 cavalry dismounted and rushed towards the city wall.
Although the streets in Linzi City are spacious, they have already been rejected by the rebels. Charge, there is no point in it anymore.
Although these 10,000 men were cavalry, it did not mean that their deployment was much inferior.
Regardless of the fact that these were the best Iron Eagle warriors in the Qin army, the collapsed city gate alone had already made these rebels lose the courage to continue fighting.
In the face of the Qin army, which was not afraid of death, these rebels, who could only "fight and win", obviously did not even have the qualifications to fight.
"Da! Da! Da! ”
The battle on the city wall was not yet over, and the distant official road was once again covered by the black oppressive figure.
"This time, you have caused me to lose 4,000 elites."
Ying Zheng did not ride in a carriage, but wore a battle armor and rode on a horse.
"However, Your Majesty can clear up many troubles within the empire." Han Fei on the side, also riding a horse, said casually. It was as if the battle on Mount Tai was not from him.
"This rabble of tens of thousands can't raise 4,000 elites." Ying Zheng glanced at Han Fei and said.
"Then I will take down the Mo family for Your Majesty." Han Fei shook his head and said.
Ying Zheng lightly planned the war horse under his crotch, and the speed couldn't help but be a little faster, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his expression.
However, Han Fei seemed to deliberately want to go against Ying Zheng, and suddenly asked, "On the contrary, Your Majesty, why did you let them go?" ”
Ying Zheng frowned, and after a moment of silence, Fang Cai said, "It's me who is worried." ”
"Your Majesty has been less and less like it was in the past ten years."
I haven't seen him for ten years, but Han Fei at this moment is like an old friend.
"Heh......" Ying Zheng chuckled lightly and said, "When I ascended the throne, although Great Qin seemed to be powerful inside, in fact, it was in danger. If I don't take a hard line, the clan will be defeated by me......"
"I'm afraid, Your Majesty is worried about more than that."
Ying Zheng glanced at Han Fei on the side again, and said noncommittally, but said: "It seems that you have learned a lot of information over the years. ”
"In the country of Chu, I met an interesting old man." Han Fei said with a smile.
"Report!"
A black-armored Qin soldier knelt down on one knee in front of Ying Zheng and said, "General Wang Ben has captured the southern city gate, and the rebels have been routed and retreated towards the city. ”
Ying Zheng waved his hand and motioned for Qin to retreat, then turned his head, looked at Fusu who was bowing his head on the side, and said, "Fusu, it's your turn." ”
"Whoa!" Fusu arched his hand at Ying Zheng, and his eyes glanced at Han Fei on the side even more imperceptibly.
Although Fusu hadn't seen Han Fei for more than ten years, Han Fei's voice and tone were still deeply engraved in his mind.
After learning about the ghost-faced man beside Ying Zheng, Fusu also had a rare hint of excitement in his heart.
"Drive!" Fusu snorted softly, rode his fast horse, and rushed towards the already ready foot soldiers in the distance.
"Your Majesty, is this planning to save military merit for the crown prince?"
"The foundation of Great Qin is the military merit system, and as long as this system exists for one day, military merit will be inevitable." Ying Zheng looked at Fusu's distant figure and said softly.
"The empire has been unified, and it may not be of much use to rely on the military exploits of these rebels alone."
"The empire is unified, but the world is not just as big as China......"
