No one would have expected that the Qin army's offensive would be so fierce and Boyang would fall so quickly. Even Han Xin, who was full of confidence in advance, didn't expect that the progress would go so smoothly.

The power of the thunderbolt not only turned this section of the city defense into powder, but also made the Han soldiers frightened. The first to climb to the top of the city with the help of a ladder was the famous light barracks in the Qin army, which accompanied the rise and fall of the old Qin people for more than 200 years.

The Qin soldiers have always been known for their good drinking, and every time they fight, the soldiers who charge into battle will drink strong wine. Alcohol not only lifts their spirits, but also makes them fearless of life and death, even in the face of a hail of bullets and arrows. The Qin soldiers, who were full of spirits, climbed over the ladder and jumped onto the city, brandishing large knives and screaming at the Han army, and were soon dismembered by the swords. The Qin soldiers behind were not afraid at all, and still slaughtered one after another.

The sky-high war drums sounded in the camp, and the impassioned drums accompanied by the wine made every Qin person have blood in their blood. On the top of the city, the warriors of the light barracks used their flesh and blood to fight a position on the city wall, and a large number of armor soldiers continued to pour in from this gap, forcing the Han army on the opposite side to retreat step by step.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Bo hurriedly rushed up with his own battalion, wanting to see them drive down the city when the Qin army was not firmly established. The Qin army did not give an inch, and had to hold on to the Han army's tidal counterattack, but advanced slowly head-on.

Soon the corpses on the ground were covered with a thick layer, and the blood was already flowing like a river on the city walls, so that the soldiers behind had to cross the layers of obstacles on the ground if they wanted to rush up. During the march, the Qin army continued to fall, but the followers ignored it, just desperately attacked and slammed it, more and more Qin troops jumped onto the city, and the Han army was pressed to keep retreating.

In the melee, a Qin army strong man finally approached the city gate, turned over and jumped off the city tower, raised the battle axe in his hand and roared angrily to cut the city gate sling, but was chopped into meat by the swarming Han army guards. But soon more and more Qin troops jumped off the tower, roaring and slaughtering towards the city gate.

A stone's throw outside the city, a black pressed ironclad cavalry lined up in a neat queue, and the leading Meng Shi frowned tightly and looked not far away, although his face was calm, but the hand holding the reins of the horse couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Finally, their long-awaited cry came from the city gates: "The city is broken!" The city is broken! Immediately, the crazy roar of the Han army came: "Kill him, kill him." ”

In the midst of the screams of fighting, the heavy city gate finally opened slowly in a "squeak" sound. Meng Shi raised his spear high and roared with excitement on his face; "Hooray!"

Behind him, more than 10,000 iron horsemen raised their guns and shouted: "Long live Great Qin." ”

"Kill!"

The cavalry slowly ran, accelerating, getting faster and faster, turning into a torrent of steel, and the open gate was the point where it poured out. The soldiers of the Han army obviously also discovered that this iron stream was approaching the city gate, and desperately tried to recapture the city gate and close it, but it was too late.

The first war horse crossed the city gate high, and smashed the people and horses into the crowd of the Han army, and the screams suddenly sounded. Soon, the second and third, more and more war horses crossed the city gate and slammed into the retreating Han army.

The heavily armored cavalry with full armor is not only a thousand pounds of momentum in running, but how can it be stopped by manpower. The heavy armored cavalry of the Qin State used this simplest and most brutal way to crush the Han army blocking the city gate into pulp. The warriors of the Qin army who also gathered at the city gate were not spared, but they had successfully completed their mission, and their families would be raised and resettled in the best possible way, although they would die without regrets!

When the Qin Iron Cavalry rushed into the city gate, all resistance became meaningless. Liu Bang's previous rampant conquest had already aroused the centrifugation of the whole Qi country, and who was really willing to work for him. The vast majority of those Han soldiers were natives of the Qi Kingdom, and if they were separated by the impregnable city walls, they could still muster up the courage to fight. But now that the city gate has been broken, a large number of tiger and wolf Qin troops have poured in, where can the Han soldiers who have long been afraid still be able to resist, and they have avoided escaping, and even many Han soldiers are kneeling on both sides of the street holding weapons high waiting for the Qin army to absorb them. The Qin soldiers were busy attacking the city, and they didn't pay attention to these surrendered troops, but they quickly swept past them, throwing these troubles to the foot soldiers who followed closely.

At dusk, Boyang City, which had been fighting all day, finally quieted down. Except for 20,000 of the 80,000 Han troops who died in battle, most of the others surrendered to the Qin army, and a small number of them took off their uniforms and blended in with the civilians.

At night, a large number of Qin soldiers took to the streets to enforce the curfew, and if they dared to take advantage of the chaos to rape @ prostitution, they would all be killed on the spot. After arriving at dawn, the trembling Qi people who were hiding at home were woken up early in the morning by the Qin soldiers who knocked on the door, and the original wanderers of the townships, the three elders, and the husband were registered by the Qin army, and were half-coerced and taken to the temporary general camp in the city.

The Qin State had a complete set of occupation systems, and with the cooperation of the original Han officials, the city of Boyang was quickly restored to order. Proclamations were posted all over the city, and the captured local Han soldiers were released home one after another, except for the uniforms of the soldiers patrolling the city, everything returned to normal.

The mountains of corpses piled up on the city have also been cleaned up, and Zhou Bo's body has been found. He fought to the death, his body was covered with knife wounds, the most serious knife wound almost cut off his shoulder, and his face was unrecognizable, and only by relying on the armor on his body was he recognized by his own soldiers who surrendered to the Qin army.

Han Xin and his loyalty and bravery, and he had several encounters with himself, so he asked his body to be collected and sent to Liu Bang in Linzi. When Liu Bang saw Zhou Bo's unrecognizable corpse, he immediately cried bitterly, and fainted on the ground after a few long breaths. After being carried back to the house in a panic by his left and right hands and choked up, he closed the door and didn't see anyone, just drinking and having fun every day, and giving up on himself like a mud.

This time, Xiao He and Chen Ping were surprisingly silent, and they never came to the door to admonish Liu Bang again. They also knew in their hearts that if Boyang was lost, then the general trend was really gone, no matter how Liu Bang cheered up, he only lacked the skills to return to the sky. Rather than make him desperate again, why not take advantage of the limited time to enjoy the princely life again.

As soon as Boyang was lost, the Qin army drove straight into the rebel army of Qidong to make peace, and swept most of Qi. The seven counties of the huge Qi State are now only a lonely city in Linzi, and more than ten cities in the south are thrown into the hands of the Han army, and the others are Qin.

Although there are still nearly 150,000 troops in Linzi City, the people are panicked, the soldiers have no intention of fighting, and the people are full of betrayal. As a last resort, Xiao He and Chen Ping had no choice but to release rumors, saying that the Qin army had exhausted Boyang and vented their personal anger, and suddenly the Qi people in Linzi City were panicked, so they barely managed to contain the trend of rebellion.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the Han State is now declining, and the Qin army, after meeting with the rebel army, outflanked Linzi City from behind. The morale-high Qin army won ten battles and ten victories, successively captured more than ten cities behind Linzi, and made peace with the Qin army that had surrounded Linzi before, completely turning it into an isolated city.

Before the siege was reunited, Xiao He and Chen Ping tried to persuade Liu Bang to abandon the city and flee south, taking advantage of the Qin army's unstable foothold to break through the encirclement and bring the army to the south of Qi State, where there were still more than ten cities that had not been captured by the Qin army, and Shang Ke continued to resist stubbornly with his back to Chu.

But Liu Bang refused without hesitation, he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself; "Since I started the army in Peixian, I have been fleeing and fleeing, and I have never fought to the death. I don't want to run away this time, so what if I do? Sooner or later, it's just a matter of death. When I occupied the seven counties of Qidi, Xiang Yu couldn't tolerate me, and now that I'm so down, how can he join forces with me? It's better to fight to the death in this Linzi City, even if I die here, I am a dignified Han King, not Liu Bang, who has been holding his head all his life! ”

Xiao He was silent in his heart, and he didn't say anything anymore, just bowed and turned to leave.

At this point, there is only one last effort, but as for the outcome, it is already doomed.

…….

In March of the second year of Qin Chuping, after two months of fighting, the main army of the Qin army finally completed the siege of Linzi City. After meeting with the rebel army of the Mojia uprising, a large number of surrendered Han troops were successively collected, and the Qin army was 140,000 and surrounded Linzi City from all sides.

Outside Linzi City, the continuous Qin camp could not see the end at a glance, the flags covered the sky and the guns were like a forest, and the black and pressed armor soldiers lined up in a neat queue and were ready to go. Han Xin stood tall on the horse, looked at the Linzi city wall that was clearly visible in the distance, and slowly raised his hand and waved it down.

The knights raised their sabers, and the armorers paused with great force, and the roars rang out in unison: "Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

The roars of more than 100,000 people soared into the sky, like a landslide tearing, and the Han soldiers on the head of the city changed color in unison.

Han Xin looked at Linzi and secretly swore; "Liu Bang, this time I will never let you take out my palm again, it's time for you and me to make an end!"

Liu Bang, who was drunk and lying in bed in the city, was awakened by this roar, and after listening intently for a while, he had already guessed that this was Han Xin's plan, undoubtedly trying to make the Han army tremble.

Liu Bang didn't come, and a sense of arrogance rose in his heart, and he smashed the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, and roared outward: "Come on, take my armor, I, Liu Bang, want to go to the city to fight." ”

"If you want to kill me Liu Bang, how can it be so easy!"

Liu Bang quickly took the stage to convene the generals, and regardless of the surprised gaze of the ministers, he decisively arranged the division of defense in the city. He also sent people to remove all the gold and silver property in the palace, and even his pure gold throne was taken out and smashed into gold nuggets, so as to reward the warriors of the three armies. He also asked Chen Ping to put all the rich families in the city into prison and confiscate all their property. It is said that if the sergeant of the army can kill one person of the Qin army, he will be rewarded with a thousand dollars, and if he kills a general, he will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, relying on these means, the morale of the disheartened Han army was suddenly boosted. And what awaits them will be the all-out blow of the Qin army!
