Chapter 1: Attacking Nanjun

After the proclamation of rebellion was issued, it spread rapidly throughout the world, and the world suddenly shook: there were those who were happy and cheered, those who cursed, and those who laughed, and the situation that was already chaotic suddenly became even more turbulent!

But Fusu couldn't hear these for a moment. After a brief rest in Yingcheng for three days, he led his troops north across the Yangtze River and headed straight to Nanjun!

This time Fusu's outfit was different: he took off his black iron armor and replaced it with a temporary black colored dragon emperor robe, and paired it with a luxurious crown made of South China Sea pearls. Although it seemed hasty, it was also extremely majestic and the emperor's demeanor. The only thing about a circle of filial cloth wrapped around his left arm was that there was a hurricane and a touch of desolation!

When the Qin army learned that the First Emperor was killed by the traitor, they were all heartbroken. As the emperor who commanded them to sweep the six kingdoms, the First Emperor had a high status in the minds of the Qin army. All the Qin army wrapped their arms around the filial cloth, and they were full of murderous intent, looking like a mourning soldier fighting to death!

Because Nanjun fell not long ago, most of the surrounding counties surrendered to the bandit army due to chaos. The city guards of each county were basically officials of the original Qin State. When Fusu was elected as emperor, he led his troops back. For several days, they all surrendered and did not dare to resist! So, on seven days, 400,000 Qin troops met in Nanjun and surrounded Nanjun City and broke into the water!

There were only Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebels in Nanjun city, and 10,000 were led by general Tian Zang. At this time, when the Qin army arrived, he was shocked and quickly sent a large army to Nanyang for help!

Nanyang City, the former prefect, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and more than a dozen generals were sitting around to discuss matters!

Chen Sheng is tall, square, wide-mouthed, and a bit majestic. He is truly a warrior who says "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan". At this time, he wears the so-called king's robe, and although he still doesn't look like a rash, he also has a bit of kingly demeanor.

The next one next to him was Wu Guang, and Wu Guangze and the mighty Chen Sheng were very different: not only had a slender figure, a thin face, but also had a pair of phoenix eyes shining and looking smart and powerful everywhere! As the second largest figure in the army, Wu Guang also has considerable power!

The lower head of the two of them was more than a dozen generals of the rebel army. Although these generals were wearing armor and swords, their military appearance could not be compared with the regular army at all, and their expressions were even lacking. However, it is no wonder that in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebel army, except for the general Zhou Wen, who was an old Korean general and had some combat experience, the rest of them were either farmers who farmed two or three months ago, or were nobles who had no skills in the old Koreans. These people had no real military qualities at all!

Chen Sheng looked at the generals under his command and said with a gloomy expression: "Dear generals, General Tian Zang came to report that the Qin army is approaching the border with 400,000, and is approaching Nanjun! Now the situation is critical, can all the generals have good strategies to defend the enemy?"

All the generals of the uprising army also knew this amazing news, and at this moment they were all worried: Fusu, as one of the several famous generals of the Qin State, was invincible in Guandong, and even the three-year-old child knew that his prestige was known. At this moment, let them, half-lao soldiers who had just put down their hoes or brushes to deal with such famous generals, of course, all the generals of the uprising army were not confident enough, and looked at each other and lost their words for a moment.

General Han Guang was an old Korean nobleman and was quite knowledgeable. He was also an outstanding person among the generals of the rebel army. At this time, he saw that the generals did not speak, so he said, "King, the Fusu army is far away in Lingnan. The last general thought that even if he returned, it would be at least a year later. Unexpectedly, our army had just two months of rebellion. It seemed that he had prepared a lot! With no preparation, our country had only three choices at present!"

Chen Shengdao: "Which three choices?"

Han Guang said in a deep voice: "Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Compare the forces: Our army can mobilize a total of 80,000 troops at any time, 10,000 troops in Nanjun and 20,000 in Nanyang, and the remaining 50,000 are far away in Yingchuan; and the Qin army has as many as 400,000 troops, which is really far apart. Compare the forces: Our officers and soldiers were basically people who farmed or were in the market two months ago, and the six countries were old and expensive. Most of them had not even touched their weapons a few times. Moreover, since the uprising, they have fought everywhere and had not carried out any strict training at all, so they could not say that they had strong combat power; and the Qin army in Fusu was a tiger and wolf army with excellent weapons and strict training, and had been through many battles. Now they wiped out the power of Guandong and pacified the remaining power of Lingnan, and their combat power was not even ours.

Attainable. Generals: Fusu, Li Xin, Qiang Wei and others are all selected as famous generals for a while, with hundreds of battles and rich experience on the battlefield. All of our generals were those who had just entered the battle temporarily and could not be compared with them! So after comparison, the best strategy for our army is to immediately abandon Nanjun, Nanyang, go north to join Zhou Wen and Zhou City's troops, then advance to Wei, Zhao and other places, join the princes, and then decide the victory and defeat with the Fusu army! Zhongst strategy: Given that the strength of the enemy and our army is too great, our army should immediately surrender to Fusu's troops, and with Fusu's kindness and confidence, we should not treat us badly; the worst strategy: Nanjun has been besieged to become a dead place, and it is useless to rescue it. You should quickly transfer back to Zhou Wen and Zhou City's troops, defend Nanyang, and fight with Fusu to the death! Please decide the above three strategies!"

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

General Tian, ​​hesitated for a moment and said, "King, I see that General Han's best strategy is the most appropriate one, and we should follow the good strategy!" After hearing this, the generals agreed! It seems that these generals of the rebel army lack the courage to fight with the Fusu army.

Wu Guang frowned and said, "It is very difficult for us to build this foundation. Nanyang and Nanjun are all important transportation areas and are very rich. It would be a pity if we give up easily! Moreover, it is still unknown whether the other princes will accept us. I think the best strategy is not acceptable. Of course, the Zhongshou is not good. We are all rebels. With the harsh Qin law, we may not be careless. Even if we are let go of us for the time being, as surrendered generals, we will inevitably be tempted by others in the future and are angry everywhere. What's the happiness to say!"

Han Guang was surprised when he heard this and said, "General Wu is planning to fight to the death with the Qin army!" Wu Guang glanced at him and said sternly: "We rebel, we are just a matter of fighting with our heads. If we are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, what big thing will happen? Although the Qin army is powerful, our uprising army is highly morale. The soldiers use their lives and hate Qin's tyranny. As long as the planning is right, there may not be no chance to win! How can we surrender without fighting or abandon the city and flee!" Wu Guang is really a brave desperate!

Chen Sheng seemed reluctant to let go of the foundation he had worked hard to build and the throne he had finally won. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "General Wu said very much. Nanyang City is the key to the world. The city is high and vast, with abundant food and grass, so he can resist the guards! If we attract the Qin army under Nanyang City and then call on the princes of the world to help, there is no chance of victory!"

Han Guang smiled bitterly when he heard this and said to himself: "You are full of confidence. You farmers can imagine that Fusu is powerful!" Although Han Guang, a general under Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and a nobleman, still looked down on the two!

Indeed, as the leader of a peasant uprising army, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had indeed had problems 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 goes: Its rise is brisk, and its decline is sudden!

Seeing that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had already made a decision, the generals had no choice but to agree.

Chen Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, then let's decide like this. Immediately transfer Zhou Wen back to the Zhou city army to defend Nanyang. At the same time, as the leader of the alliance, I issued an order to the world's rebel army to help them. As for Nanjun..." Chen Sheng hesitated and said, "It has been surrounded by the Qin army, and it is useless to save it, so let it go to fate!" The generals couldn't help feeling sad when they heard this. After all, it was a bit unbearable to abandon the life and death of ten thousand brothers!

Under the city of Nanyang, 400,000 Qin troops gathered, surrounding the city with no water and no birds crossing. From the top of the city, the Qin army's camp was boundless and endless, and it was impossible to see at first sight. The cold light of the guns and halberds in the sky made the Nanjun garrison's eyes blurred, and they were all terrified for a moment!

In the evening, the Qin army commander and Fusu were discussing matters with the generals!

Zhang Liang looked at the bamboo slips in front of him and smiled at the generals, "Dear generals, good things have happened recently. Liang is listed one by one by Your Majesty to make everyone happy!"

"Speak quickly, speak quickly!" The generals were very impressed and couldn't wait!

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "The first thing: the news that the grain transport team of the second county of Bashu County just sent: Fan Tianshi, the highest military and political chief of Bashu County, announced the change of flags, and regarded Your Majesty as the master of the world, and no longer obeyed the orders of Xianyang!" "Oh!" Although the generals had known that Fan Tianshi was Fusu's confidant, they couldn't help cheering!

"The second thing: it is also the news that the grain transport team just sent. His Majesty's family and the families of Li Xin, Shi Lu, Qiang Wei and other generals entered Sichuan safely, and the other generals and their families were also arranged properly!" "That's great! There is no worries now!" The leaders immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy.

"The third thing: Su Dai, the prefect of Hengshan County, announced the change of flags, and regarded Your Majesty as the new lord, and no longer obeyed the orders of Xianyang. He also appointed Wu Rui, the general of Poyang, to recruit a large army, prepare to advance eastward to Kuaiji, and attack the two signs together!"

The generals were immediately happy again, and Li Xin smiled and said, "It's great. In this way, except for Kuaiji, all south of the Yangtze River have fallen into the hands of our army! And once the army of Hengshan County advances eastward, the two orders will suffer!"

Zhang Liang also said happily: "There is a fourth happy event: the fief of Sanchuan County of the Lord, and immediately announced the change of flags, and the recruitment of troops will be fully conscripted, and the generals may not know yet. In addition to the prefect Ji Bing, the chief of Luoyang, is the third brother of His Majesty Ying'an! In addition, the news just received, Zhou Wen, the Zhou army turned to Hulao Pass after breaking Yingchuan County, and wanted to attack Sanchuan County. As a result, they were defended by His Majesty's family general Ying Bu. They repeatedly defeated him within seven days. The bandits lost their troops and lost their generals, and had retreated to Nanyang!"

"Oh--!" The generals were immediately overjoyed: With Luoyang as the center of the Central Plains war, it would be twice the result with half the effort! Li Xin smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Young Master Ying An and Ying Bu have grown up. Now they can stand alone and share your worries with His Majesty. It's really gratifying!"

Qiang Wei said a little strangely: "Your Majesty General Ying'an has seen him, and he is quite as heroic as His Majesty and the Emperor. Who is Na Yingbu? Why is he so powerful? I heard that Zhou Wen is also an old Korean veteran. He is over 60 years old and has rich experience in the battlefield. Why was he killed by an unknown junior in Huzhu and thrown away his armor!?"

Just now, Fusu was smiling and silent. At this moment, he blinked and said, "Why, General Qiang is not convinced?? This Yingbu is an orphan I picked up in Qi back then. He has a very high talent and is very skilled in martial arts and outstanding military skills at a young age. It is not surprising that he has performed in Huzhuo in such a way!"

Qiang Wei said in amazement: "Your Majesty is a lucky man. You can pick up a general! When you arrive in Sanchuan County, you must meet him for a while and see how hero he is!" Li Xin smiled and said: "The Qiang General must be careful. Na Yingbu has been very powerful since childhood, and his majesty is very careful in teachings on weekdays. His martial arts are amazing! At that time, the old general should not lose to tears!" Qiang Wei shouted: "General Li should not underestimate me. Although I am over 50 years old, I can still have hundreds of kilograms of strength when I waved my arms. I don't believe that I can't beat a junior!"

Seeing the two of them quarreled in the tent, the generals couldn't help but be happy. Fusu also smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't argue anymore! Then let General Qiang compete with Yingbu! Now, let's talk about how to attack Nanjun!"

Zhao Tuo laughed and said, "Your Majesty, there are only 10,000 thieves in Nanjun City, so it will be easy to destroy it! If Your Majesty trusts you, please take out the last generals 50,000 troops tomorrow! You will break the city gate within one day and make the first contribution to Your Majesty's sweeping across the Central Plains!"

The generals realized that this was the first achievement, and there was a lot of significance! They rushed to fight and compete with Zhao Tuo. Seeing that the generals were so determined to fight, Fusu smiled and said, "Live, stay with you! I believe that it is easy to capture this small town in Nanjun with my 400,000 tiger and wolf army, but this is the first battle of my army northward to the Central Plains. We must win beautifully and show our mighty power! So according to my opinion, what about a bet game?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "I wish to hear it carefully!" Fusu smiled and said, "Let me do this, I will send four generals to attack the city from all sides of Nanjun, each general will command 20,000 troops, and the specific troops will be freely allocated. Which general will destroy the city first, and the soldiers will reward it with great reward. And the loser will have to toast three bowls of generals! What do you think?"

"Agree! Agree!..." The generals rubbed their fists and agreed.

Fusu smiled and said, "Okay, General Li Xin will attack the north, General Qiang Wei will attack the west, General Zhao Tuo will attack the south, and General Shi Lu will attack the east. Do you have any objections?" The generals looked at each other and found that these four generals were the most prestigious under Fusu's tent at present, and they were not dissatisfied.

Fusu made the decision: "Okay, let's make a decision. All the generals will return to the camp to prepare and take down Nanjun City for me tomorrow!" "Here!"

The summer sun is a little hot, and it is burning in the morning, making people feel a little panicked. Fusu sat on a hill about five or six miles south of Nanjun City, wearing a black-bottomed golden dragon umbrella cover, and a maid was fanning the wind, looking down at the mountain comfortably.

From afar, through the slightly dazzling morning light, the four square formations of 80,000 Qin troops had surrounded Nanjun City, and they were all out of their sheath, their crossbows were styling, and they were staring at their prey, Nanjun City!

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

A dull sound of war drums instantly broke the tranquility of the morning and suddenly added another fire to the already tense atmosphere of the battlefield.

Before the drums were finished, the Qin army at the foot of the mountain suddenly shouted, "Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng!" and pulled up and forced to Nanjun!

From a distance, Fusu, with great eyesight, saw the messy peasant army in Nanjun City pulling bows and arrows in panic, carrying soil and stones, and preparing to fight, and couldn't help but grin with contempt. Suddenly, Fusu had an idea and smiled: "Military advisor, who will break the city first, see?"

Zhang Liang, who was standing beside Fusu, blinked and asked, "What is your Majesty's intention?" Fusu did not think it was offended, and thought for a while and said, "I think it is Li Xin. General Li is both wise and brave. He is a famous general of the world. He should be able to defeat him first!"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Not necessarily!" Fusu was stunned and said, "What are the military advisors' opinions?"

Zhang Liang thought for a while and said, "In fact, the combat characteristics of these four generals can be seen from their military allocation. General Li Xin is rigorous in military use and rich in experience. Among the troops: crossbow soldiers, assault infantry, and the proportion of baggage soldiers is reasonable, and the most experienced among the four generals; General Zhao Tuo was young and fierce, with few crossbow soldiers in his troops, and focused on strengthening the proportion of assault infantry and baggage soldiers, which shows that this person likes to attack quickly and is unwilling to be too restrained; General Qiang Wei was extremely brave, with few crossbow soldiers and baggage soldiers in his troops, and assault infantry accounted for the vast majority, which shows that this general's desire to attack was too strong, but he did not pay much attention to the protection and cooperation he deserved; General Shi Lu was born as an engineering genius and had unique characteristics in his troops: half of the crossbow soldiers and baggage soldiers in his troops accounted for half, and only half of the infantrymen, which shows that this person is very good at using equipment and siege in his troops.

According to the characteristics of the four men, the direction of the attack, and the characteristics of the enemy guards in the Nanjun: General Qiang Wei is brave, and he is afraid that because of his strong desire to attack and his sharp edge, he will be attacked first by the bandits in the Nanjun, with bloody heads and unsuccessful attacks. If he fails to defeat others, he will definitely not be able to defeat others. General Zhao Tuo must have followed General Qiang Xi, but the suppression force in the front is insufficient. Although he is brave, the city of Nanjun is high and vast, without the full cover of arrows, it may be difficult to break the city for the moment. General Li Xin is a famous general, and the general of the bandit army, Tian Zang, must have personally faced the enemy, and General Li's deployment is too orderly, so it is difficult to break the city in the first wave!"

Listening to Zhang Liang's meaning, Fusu said a little strangely: "Could it be the military advisor who is a gambling general Shi Lu win?" Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Although General Shi Lu is a project official, he is very talented. This time, the formation of troops is full of cleverness. His battle formation seems to be the least threat to Nanjun City and the progress speed is also the slowest, so the bandit army will inevitably be a little careless in the defense of the east and will transfer the main force to the other three parties, which gives Shi Lu a great opportunity to break the city. Also, Your Majesty, please see, General Shi Lu attacks the city from the east, just carrying the sunshine, while the southern enemy is facing the sun.

Guang, probably when General Shi Lu officially urged the infantry to charge, the sunlight should be the most dazzling time for the enemy in Dongcheng. In addition, General Shi Lu is proficient in engineering technology. The north, west and east of Nanjun city is surrounded by water, and the soil must be soft. With General Shi Lu's shrewdness, how could he not see the soft foundation of the city wall? A large number of catapults will be concentrated. Under the attack of crossbows, I am afraid that the Dongcheng of Nanjun will be the first place to collapse! Your Majesty, please see, in the east, General Shi Lu's catapults are relatively northerly and very concentrated!? From these three points, I believe that the winner will be General Shi Lu!"

Fusu blinked his eyes and suddenly laughed: "Awesome, amazing! The military advisor is indeed a genius in the world, and his knowledge is very unique! Let's do this, I'll make a bet with the military advisor, and the loser will be fined three glasses of wine! How about it?" Zhang Liang smiled and said, "I'd like to bet with Your Majesty!" "Okay!" Fusu said excitedly: "If Li Xin loses, I will definitely punish him ten glasses when he comes back!" Everyone behind him smiled and prayed silently for Li Xin!

At this moment, the siege battle had already begun: the Qin army quickly approached Nanjun City with the earth-shaking sound of war drums, and the poop was a three-ring crossbow battle formation covering a covered shooting!

In the chaotic rain of arrows on the city wall, the Qin army crossbowmen were well-trained and quickly fired waves of arrow curtains to the city wall of Nanjun, covering the city wall. For a moment, arrows were raining from Nanjun city, and blood was splashing!

The heavy crossbows and catapults behind the Qin army also began to pour firepower into the city of Nanjun as they proceeded step by step. Stone chips flew around and huge arrows roared. The peasant army at the city of Nanjun was in a hurry under the fierce firepower of the Qin army!

Next, it was indeed the Qin army in the west of Qiangwei who yelled "Wow" and used infantry to pounce on the city of Nanjun. As soon as they rushed to the city, the peasant soldiers who bravely resisted bravely were covered with rolling wood, rocks, gray bottles, cannons, boiling oil, lead water... The Qin army, who had basically no protection, screamed in tears, and were smashed to death, scorching and scorching. Although they were all brave and ants were attached, they were firmly blocked by the peasant soldiers under the city wall!

As expected, Zhao Tuo also urged infantry from the south to start attacking the city. As soon as he arrived at the city, the peasant army, who had calmed down, was still receiving the overwhelming reception. Although it was not as embarrassing as the Qin army in the west, Zhao Tuo's offensive could not reach the city and was extinguished.

Fusu smiled and said, "It's interesting, interesting! It's exactly the same as what the military advisor said!" As soon as he finished speaking, there were also shouting killing in the north of the city. Although he couldn't see the situation in the north of the city, he heard the shouting killing and the urgent report of the meteor fast horse, and he knew that the battle situation in the north of the city was very fierce. The enemy general Tian Zang really led the defensive defense of the north city.

Fusu said a little strangely: "Is Shi Lu really going to win?" Just as he was thinking, the sun had risen to about 45 ounces of the horizon, suddenly, flying stones outside the East City suddenly gathered densely and attacked fiercely at a city wall of 100 meters wide in the north. At the same time, the brigade of crossbowmen also began to move towards this section. For a moment, the dense rain of arrows by the Qin army was accurate and fierce, and the peasant army facing the sun on the top of the city could not raise their heads. The rain of arrows against the counterattack was also sparse, a thousand miles away!

The firepower of nearly 100 catapults quickly exerted a huge effect. The dense huge rocks hit the northern section of the eastern city of Nanjun, which was shaking and shaking. After a moment, the huge city wall shook twice, and suddenly made a loud noise, collapsed, causing a dust fog in the sky!

"Kill--!" As the northern section of the eastern city of Nanjun suddenly collapsed, a huge gap of dozens of meters long appeared. The Qin army in the brigade immediately came like a tide under the drive of Shi Lu, and under the cover of dense arrow rain on their side, they entered the gap!

Ten thousand Qin infantrymen rushed into Nanjun City from the east, instantly changing the situation of the entire battle. The originally low morale and frightened peasant army resisted for a moment and collapsed immediately. Shi Lu urged more than ten thousand Qin troops to scatter into the city immediately and attacked the other three walls.

There is no suspense to the outcome!

Fusu, who watched all this, blinked his eyes and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha! The military advisor was so accurate, I was really convinced! Come on, get three glasses of wine, I will punish myself!" Wu Xin chuckled and ordered the soldiers to present three glasses of water wine. After Fusu drank it unhappily, he said dissatisfiedly: "Li Xin really doesn't give me face. Qiang Wei and Zhao Tuo have no brains. Let's see how I deal with you later!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh and prayed silently for the three generals!

...

Just after noon, the battle in Nanjun City was basically over. Ten thousand peasant troops were wiped out. The guard Tian Zang was also killed in the north city. He was considered a tough guy!

Seeing that the war had subsided, Fusu immediately drove the army into the city, inspecting the military discipline in the city, while offering a list of people to calm down!

As soon as they entered the city, they saw Li Xin, Qiang Wei and Zhao Tuo greeting each other with bad luck, and they all felt a little dejected. Indeed, losing to a general who came from an engineering official seemed not so glorious, especially Li Xin and Qiang Wei were both powerful generals and famous generals who had experienced many battles!

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, please punish me!" The three of them pouted, losing a little unconvinced, and even a little confused!

Fusu hummed without comment and said, "Military advisor, I have lost clearly. It seems that the three of them are still confused. Tell them and come to me when they understand. "Here!" Zhang Liang held back his laughter and nodded in obedience.

Fusu drove his horse to patrol the city and looked around: he found that the houses in the city were not very damaged. After all, the battle ended in just one morning. However, the streets in the city were very dirty and messy, and many shops and mansions even had their doors open, with broken furniture everywhere, and there was no popularity. It seemed that after the peasant army entered Nanjun City, the big-name people came, and the bigger wealthy people were probably killed!

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

Just as he was watching, Li Xin, Qiang Wei, and Zhao Tuo came up with a look on his face. Fusu smiled and said, "Do you understand the loss?"

"I am convinced to lose!" These three people were so straightforward!

"Okay, losing to your own people is not scary. Just learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses in the future! By the way, how do you punish you? Well, this is how you made me lose three glasses of wine. At the celebration banquet tonight, you will be fined 30 glasses of wine each! This punishment is not serious!?" Fusu said with a smile.

"Ah!! Thirty cups!?" Li Xin and the other two suddenly had a bitter face!
Chapter completed!
