Chapter 43 The Uprising Army Attacks Qixian County

Although Wei Fan, the Wei Wei of Qi County, is not a powerful figure, his advantage is his stability.

During the uprising in Daze Township, he was the first to receive the message from Qi County, the closest to Daze Township.

But he did not take the initiative to attack and suppress it, but instead closed the city gate steadily without seeking merit but without seeking unforeseenness, waiting for the arrival of those thugs.

It has been less than a day since the Dazexiang Uprising.

But the county magistrate Weifan knew that these thugs would definitely attack the county town.

So he arranged military tasks early, strengthened defense in the whole county, and reported any changes immediately.

His superior, the county magistrate, sent the uprising in Daze Township to Xianyang early, waiting for the instructions above.

The closure of the city gate made the people in the city start to panic, but fortunately, after the persuasion of the county magistrate, the people in the city all came to rest and started their daily life.

That night, Wei Fan was wearing a bronze sword on his waist and patrolling the city with more than a dozen personal soldiers.

He dared not relax because the night was the most dangerous.

That night, there were more bonfires rising above the walls of Qi County than ever before, in order to patrol well.

On the wall, a bonfire rose every ten steps, illuminating the entire city as bright as day.

There are about 5,000 soldiers in the Qin Dynasty in Qi County. At this moment, the soldiers were all moved to the edge of the city. If they encounter sneak attacks, they can fight with all their strength at any time.

At this time, the cold wind in late autumn was already very cold.

When the autumn wind blew, the soldiers guarding the city were full of long-lasting words.

The moon in late autumn is very bright, and the moonlight shines on the cold city walls, and there is an indescribable loneliness.

In this area, the lights are brightly lit when leaving the city, and other places are swallowed up by the darkness.

There is an indescribable sense of danger.

After Wei Fan took his personal soldiers to patrol, he shouted: "Everyone cheer up our lieutenant, don't be lazy! Maybe the thugs will attack tonight, so don't sleep, otherwise you will be cold corpses tomorrow."

"Boss, aren't you too worried? Those thugs can rush up to this city wall?" These soldiers were all with Wei Fan, and Wei Fan, as an officer, was usually quite easy-going, so these soldiers began to ask.

"Hmph, Xiao Liuzi, if you don't believe me, then you go to bed. I think you will add you tomorrow, but you may not be the sun tomorrow. Don't you want to marry Chen from the village next to you?"

"Hahaha..."

As Wei Fan said, everyone laughed.

"I...I..." Xiao Liuzi turned red by everyone, and couldn't speak.

Seeing that Wei Fan was also joking, he seriously reminded the more than a hundred guards who were watching at the moment, "Lighten your eyes, in short, it's right to be more eye-catching!"

"yes..."

More than a hundred soldiers said in unison.

However, before he finished speaking, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from outside the wall.

"Not good!" These experienced veterans exclaimed.

However, the arrow shot up.

‘Swoosh swish swish swish…’

Wei Fan instinctively turned his head, and a strong wind almost swept across his scalp.

In the thrilling state, Wei Fan quickly turned around and looked at it, but saw a wolf-toothed arrow as thick as a thumb, which penetrated several inches deep into the corridor column, and the feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling violently.

It seems that the other party guessed correctly. This arrow was given to him as the leader.

However, after this wave of arrow rain, more than a dozen people could not escape and were injured and killed in an instant.

Immediately, the enemy did not give them a chance to breathe.

The next moment, a hissing whistling sounded continuously from the night sky.

"Do not hide!"

The veterans were shouting loudly.

Wei Fan, who came to his senses, screamed at the sky at the top of his lungs, "The enemy attacked, and the soldiers behind him came to support him, crossbowman, crossbowman!" He gave the order while hiding under the pile.

The next moment, the dense rain of arrows as dense as locusts had fallen from the sky, but this time, it was the second wave of arrows, so most of them hid behind the pile, so there were basically no casualties.

At this time, the horn used for the messenger blew up the horn in panic "Wuwuwu..." and the horn that was rushed spread throughout the city in an instant.

The five thousand soldiers behind the city got up one after another and rushed up to the city.

The first one to come up were more than a thousand crossbowmen who had no rest.

These more than a thousand crossbowmen quickly found the best position and prepared to counterattack, but because it was pitch black in front of the city, they could not find the enemy's target at all.

Almost at the same time, the sound of horns sounded outside the pass, and tens of thousands of torches lit up.

In the bright firelight in the daytime, thousands of dead soldiers of the rebel army carried hundreds of simple long ladders, like a flood that broke the dike, swept towards Qi County. Behind the group of dead soldiers of the rebel, thousands of crossbowmen began to be on high alert.

Wei Fan, who was hiding aside, felt cold in his heart when he saw it. He did not expect that there were more crossbowmen on the other side than on his side.

So, the experienced Wei Fan immediately shouted loudly: "Extinguish the fire, put out the fire, we should not expose ourselves to those enemy crossbowmen!"

I have to say that this command is very clever.

Once the torch is extinguished, the opponent's crossbowman will not be able to accurately find the accurate shooting point, which can reduce some casualties.

In an instant, dozens of veterans quickly went to put out the torches, leaving only seven or eight places of lighting, which was to replace sharp arrows for one of his crossbowmen.

However, the third wave of arrows from the other side was shooting towards them like locusts. At this time, the soldiers of the Great Qin army rushed to the city and prepared to start to resist the rebels.

However, at this time, the rebels began to pounce under the city wall under the cover of the rain of arrows.

The Daqin crossbowman on the city also quickly fought back.

However, what is depressing is that these rebel troops actually had simple wooden shields made of wooden boards, which effectively reduced casualties!

Finally, the locust-like rebels, with the cover of hundreds of simple wooden shields, snatched under the city wall.

Soon, thousands of rebels rushed to the wall, and long ladders were quickly raised. A hundred steps away, the archers of the rebels finally began to retreat, because if they continued to cover the city with arrow rain, they would inevitably accidentally hurt the rebel soldiers who were preparing to rob Qi County.

The tragic siege battle immediately kicked off.

At this time, Wei Fan, the county magistrate on the city, was a little desperate because he discovered that the enemy actually had tens of thousands of people!

Where can he resist the 5,000 Qin soldiers?

Could it be that this time it will be swallowed up by the rebels?

Wei Fan felt a heavy heart.

"Kill, don't let the enemy attack the city wall, otherwise we will be defeated!" Wei Fan shouted loudly, and shot an enemy who rushed under the wall with an arrow and killed him.
