Chapter Forty-Seven: The Soldier Refers to Chen County
By the time Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the rebel army to Chen County, their strength had reached an unprecedented size.
A total of 300,000 troops!
Moreover, there were six or seven hundred chariots, and the weapons were equipped with four-sevenths of the army.
In other words, four of the seven men were armed with swords, and the remaining three were from farm tools or sticks.
At the same time, they also had a thousand cavalry.
And Chen Sheng's prestige is also getting bigger and bigger, and those poor people are very obedient to him, so they are quite obedient to the people.
However, it is worth noting that as many county towns were breached by the rebel army, more and more routs began to pour into Chen County.
By the time Chen Sheng led his army to Chen County, the Great Qin forces in Chen County had already reached 50,000, but to face them among the 300,000 was simply to hit a stone with an egg!
However, among the 50,000 were the local army of Great Qin, and their combat effectiveness was definitely stronger than those peasant armies.
Moreover, with the cover of Chen County's city, Chen Sheng's 300,000 army was not so easy to break.
Siege city, you can't take 300,000 at once, right? The city is so big, and the road is so wide.
At this time, Meng Dalong, the supreme commander of Chen County, was at the head of the city, looking at the sky in front of him in a daze.
He received information yesterday that the king had personally led his troops to suppress the rioters.
However, the current thugs are already approaching here, and it is unknown whether he can hold on to it until the king leads the troops.
Now the 50,000 troops of Chen County have all been concentrated near the city. There are 3,000 armor soldiers standing guard on the city wall every day, and in the open space behind the city are all the military camps, in which nearly 50,000 Great Qin armor soldiers live, in order to facilitate the battle.
At this moment, a melodious horn sound came from the front of Chen County.
Montalong immediately came back to his senses, fixed his eyes and looked ahead, and saw that dense small black dots began to appear on the horizon.
But, as time went on, Montalong finally saw clearly, it was people!
"The thugs are coming, the thugs are coming, ready to fight, ready to fight!"
Meng Dalong looked at the boundless rebel army in front of him, and his heart suddenly sank.
How many people are that?
Uncountable!
With Meng Dalong's shout, a sudden and rapid horn sounded in Chen County.
Immediately, the more than 3,000 Qin armor soldiers on the city wall were all inhaling cold air and watching the hundreds of thousands of rebel troops approaching.
To tell the truth, even Meng Dalong, looking at the rebel army with no end in sight, felt a tingling in his scalp.
Even if you don't resist and kill them, it is estimated that you won't be able to kill these people in a day and a night, not to mention that the other party will still move, and will fight back and attack.
In Chen County, as soon as the horn sounded, in the military camp below the city wall, countless Great Qin armor soldiers poured out one after another.
And it's all about quickly sorting out your weapons and getting ready for battle.
And in the city, the original three thousand Great Qin Armor soldiers suddenly went down to two thousand.
Because it wasn't hand-to-hand combat at the beginning, but bow and crossbow fighting!
Instead, these infantry took up space here, and they were sent to death in vain!
And the remaining more than 1,000 armor soldiers have all found their positions, and they can avoid the rain of arrows at any time. It can also be fought randomly.
And those people began to carry arrows, oil, wood, and so on from the streets behind the city to the top of the city.
And the five thousand crossbowmen in the city are ready.
Three thousand crossbowmen ascended to the top of the city, and the two thousand crossbowmen behind them served as reserves.
By the time the pre-war preparations in Chen County were almost complete, the hundreds of thousands of rebel troops were also approaching.
Zhou Wen and Wuchen took the lead, and they have been promoted to generals.
The front army of these hundreds of thousands of troops stopped outside the range of the bed crossbow in Chen County.
The front soldiers of the rebel army were all dead soldiers with simple wooden shields and bronze swords.
Of course, there were many people carrying improvised ladders among them, as well as rope-type ladders made of rattan.
There are also many chariots, which can quickly approach the city during the first wave of attacks, which can reduce casualties.
And behind these dead men were five thousand crossbowmen.
Well, you will say, how can a rebel army of 300,000 be such a small crossbowman?
cough cough cough ...... If you don't have a bow and crossbow for you, why don't you build an army of crossbows?
I saw that Zhou Wen was fighting a fierce horse and walked out in a hurry.
However, he did not dare to go within the range of the bed crossbow.
I saw that he was wearing a suit of armor that did not fit very well, and he was holding his weapon and a large axe in one hand.
With a proud face, he yelled at Chen County: "Listen to the county lieutenant in Chen County, I am Zhou Wen, the general of the rebel army. Now you are surrounded by our army of 300,000 men...... I advise you to ......"
It's another set of vulgar shouts.
But Meng Dalong, who was at the head of Chen County, slapped one hand on the city bricks at the head of the city, and said coldly to Zhou Wen in the distance: "Zhou Wen'er, you dare to rebel!" Are you not afraid of being wiped out by the Nine Clans? ”
Zhou Wen listened to Meng Dalong's words and sneered: "Haha...... It's so funny, huh! We were killed from the beginning, and we were killed if we didn't, so it's better to be reversed! Besides, this tyrannical Qin has made the world unpeaceful, you see, these people are all against tyrannical Qin......"
"Hmph, you will regret it, the First Emperor has already led his troops here, and you will be wiped out when the time comes......"
Montalong still said coldly. At the same time, it is also a little hope for yourself, I hope that the king can arrive in time, so that Chen County will not have to fall.
“haha…… Yingzheng is almost the age of ascending to heaven, and he can still lead the troops here, are you kidding me? ”
But at this moment, a herald came to Zhou Wen's side, and then whispered to Zhou Wen: "The general ordered General Zhou to start attacking, don't talk to that person anymore." ”
After Zhou Wen heard this, his face turned straight, "I know." ”
So, Zhou Wen and Wuchen glanced at each other, and then nodded at the same time and said, "Order, attack!" ”
Suddenly, the dozens of heralds shouted: "The general gives the order, attack ......"
"The general's herald...... Offensive! ……”
"Charioteers, Dead Soldiers, Attack! Crossbowmen followed......"
"Charioteers, Dead Soldiers, Attack! Crossbowmen followed......"
Suddenly, with the order, the charioteers and dead soldiers at the forefront of the front army all pressed towards the city wall of Chen County.
"Woo woo woo ......" With the attack, the sound of the horn also sounded, and at the same time, the sound of war drums was also heard.
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
Suddenly, a few hundred chariot soldiers were the first to set out, followed by five thousand dead soldiers, followed by five thousand crossbowmen.
