Chapter 34: Zhanchen County (2)

The county guard of Chen County saw the countless ragged people with hoes and wooden sticks swarming all over the mountains, and said with a smile: "Such unarmed people who are not fully clothed and unarmed dare to come to take my Chen County." Grasshoppers shake the trees! Ha ha! ”

The officials who were originally worried at the bottom of their hearts were also relieved at this time, and they were smiling happily one by one.

Chen Yu and a cadre of generals commanded the noisy rebels to start camping, cutting down trees, digging pits, digging pits, there were many people and great strength, and after a while, a simple camp was built.

Later, Chen Yu counted thousands of people, promising each person an extra bowl of meat, and these people reluctantly went to the nearby mountains and forests under the leadership of several craftsmen to cut down thick trees and make simple ladders and other siege equipment.

After the other more than 100,000 rebels finished building the camp, they lay on the ground one by one and refused to get up again.

"Lord County Guard, the lower official is willing to lead 3,000 elite soldiers out of the city to relieve the siege of Chen County." A young lieutenant in his thirties looked at the chaotic scene of the chaotic people camp under the city and came out of the ranks.

The county guard just looked at the castle and didn't speak.

"My lord, the lower official is willing to make a military order, and if he is defeated, he will be dealt with by military law!" Seeing that the county guard did not speak, the young lieutenant knelt down on one knee and spoke loudly again.

"General Mengxin doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." The county guard hurriedly picked up the young lieutenant who was kneeling on one knee and said.

"This official believes that General Meng will be able to win the battle, and the chaotic people are more than 100,000, although the soldiers of my Chen County are all elite, but only more than 20,000 people, if the chaotic people have another ambush to take advantage of the general's opening of the city to take the city?

However, Chen County has enough food, and the official has sent an envoy to Xianyang to ask for help, and there are people like General Meng who can fight well, so we only need to rely on the strength of the city wall and the benefits of the equipment, and after the corpses of the chaotic people are all over the place, we will definitely be able to retreat without attacking. ”

The other officials such as the county lieutenant and the county supervisor next to him also claimed to be. Seeing this, the captain surnamed Meng had to retreat unwillingly.

Seeing that the captain surnamed Meng retreated, the county guard looked at the camp of the rebellious people in the city again and said: "General Meng, such rebellious people are not to worry, I will go down to the city first to appease the residents in the city, and I will ask General Meng to defend the city." ”

"Whoa!"

After the county guard and others went down to the city wall, Meng Xin lay on the city wall and carefully observed the chaos under the city again.

At this time, Chen Yu had already set up countless large and small copper pots and iron pots in the camp, and boiled the large pieces of meat with rice vegetables and water in the bowl. More than 100,000 people or a dozen or dozens of people gathered around a large cauldron, watching the tumbling pieces of meat in the pot and swallowing saliva.

Chen Yu and a group of generals also set up a cauldron in the open space in the middle of the camp, and they were also drinking and eating meat at this time.

With Chen Yu's order, some soldiers rushed to the car and carried wine to each of the rebels to share a bowl of wine, and then all the rebels began to eat around the pot, and from time to time some people quarreled and fought over a piece of meat.

Chen Yu and other generals did not dissuade them, but applauded loudly on the side. For a moment, the entire camp of the rebels was like a vegetable market.

The scene in front of him made Meng Xin secretly shake his head, if these chaotic people are really like this, then with the strength of the city wall of Chen County and the advantage of the Qin army's equipment, he is naturally not afraid of these chaotic people.

Seeing that the rebels under the city didn't even have a decent weapon, let alone any large siege equipment, there was always an ominous premonition in Meng's confidence. What's wrong?

If you can lead the troops down to the city and rush to kill for a while, you can see the reality of the void, but it's a pity...... I hope the rebels are so unbearable.

After more than an hour like this, the soldiers of the Qin army in the city had long been bored and hid in a cool place, and Meng Xin was also sweating under the scorching sun, and after thinking about it, he also entered the city tower to rest and cool off.

At this time, only a "bang" sound was heard.

Meng Xin heard the sound and hurriedly rushed out of the city tower, and the soldiers of the Qin army, who were still hiding in the shade and taking care of the coolness, also rushed out quickly to take their places.

Meng Xin put up a pergola and looked at the camp of the rebellious people under the city.

After the sound of this "bang", about half a pillar of incense passed, I saw those well-fed and well-fed rebels begin to line up in front of the camp, a general stood on the high platform and said something loudly, and then saw these chaotic people roaring like chicken blood rushing towards the city wall, dozens of simple ladders that were obviously just made followed behind the brigade of rebels.

The soldiers of the Qin army were worthy of being the most elite army in the world at that time, although all the Qin troops were despising these seemingly large but vulnerable rebels in front of them, but at this moment, no one relaxed their vigilance because of contempt.

Without waiting for Meng Xin's order, the Qin soldiers on the city wall naturally unsheathed their swords and crossbows with their arrows, and waited for the battle.

Seeing that the swarming rebels were getting closer and closer to the city wall, all of a sudden, the horn whined, the sound of the wooden pillars on the city wall was dense like a torrential rain, and the long arrows in the sky roared towards the countless chaotic people who were rushing up without fear of death.

It's the Qin Army's large-scale repeating crossbow machine! The big arrows used in the crossbow machine were as thick as an arm and as long as a spear, and the arrows were more than two feet long, which was like a short sword mounted on a wooden pole that was more than a foot long, and thrown with great force. Such a thick spear and arrow shot all over the sky, its roaring momentum, its penetrating power, and its power were incomparable.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of arrows pounced into the crowd of chaotic people, a terrible scream accompanied by the sound of "poof" of the big arrow into the body was endless, and the huge penetrating power of the big arrow often shot through three or four unprotected rebels in a row, and once again the densely arranged chaotic people were like sugar gourds strung into a long string before falling to the ground weakly.

Hundreds of arrows carved out thousands of gaps in the dense chaos like ploughing the ground, forming a long blood path, and on the blood path were strings of human flesh candy gourds that were still dripping blood.

The first bolts fired by the crossbow killed at least thousands of rioters.

The overwhelming shouts and killings of the chaotic people suddenly stopped!

When have these rioters who have been coerced without any training seen such a bloody scene, the sharp whistling of the arrows and the splashes of blood after entering the body, and the blood path formed let these rich and noble rebels know what war is.

At this time, the rebels who rushed to the front let out a miserable cry as if they had just woken up from a dream, threw away the wooden stick or hoe in their hands and ran back, while the people who rushed behind did not know what happened to the striker and were still charging and fighting for the Wanhu Hou.

The rebels who were retreating in front and the rebels who were charging behind collided together, and suddenly they were in chaos, and some of them even moved their hands on their companions who were still drinking and eating meat together but blocking their way at this moment in order to escape from the battlefield.

Chen Yu was in a hurry when he saw this situation on the high platform of the camp, he overestimated the will to fight of the chaotic people, and also underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, and hurriedly shouted: "Mingjin withdraws the troops!" Hurry up and call it in! ”

The piercing sound of "Dangdangdang" resounded throughout the battlefield.

Although the rebels had not been trained, fortunately, when they heard Mingjin's voice, they still knew that this meant to collect troops and return to the camp, and suddenly the chaotic people retreated in a swarm.

Looking at the chaotic people, the Qin army on the city wall looked cold, and the soldiers who were working as crossbows were still methodically pulling the strings and arrows for the crossbow machine.

Another trumpet whin.

The sound of wooden pillars like a torrential rain sounded again on the city wall, and the sharp whistling was followed by endless screams, and thousands of arrows once again plowed thousands of bloody paths in the chaos of the retreating people.

All the rebels wanted their parents to give themselves two more legs, crying and crawling to escape from this hellish place.

Nothing left under the empty walls were thousands of bloody paths and the screams of the rebellious people who were not yet dead. Strings of human sugar gourds are silently telling these coerced rioters the cruelty of war.
