Chen Yu looked at the number of rioters reported by his subordinates with tears in his eyes. Before the war, there were about 120,000 to 30,000 rioters, but after an attack on the city, only about 90,000 people remained.
In just the first charge of less than one stick of incense, in addition to the thousands of people killed on the battlefield by the Qin army's big arrows, more than 10,000 people were trampled to death. There were more than 20,000 people.
Don't know where he went.
Among the more than 90,000 rebels who returned to the camp, most of them were injured, trembling and pale.
Can these rioters who have lost all their courage still organize to attack the city? Chen Yu looked worried. But if he doesn't attack the city, how can he complete the task assigned by his elder brother? If it disrupts his plan... Chen Yu dare not go there
I thought about it.
Soon, the rioters in the camp, who were still crying and shouting, were once again gathered under the high platform in the center of the camp by Chen Yu and the other generals with their own soldiers.
Dozens of wooden boxes with lids opened were placed in front of the high platform. The boxes were all filled with pieces of silk, gold, silver and jewelry. They shone with an intoxicating light under the dazzling sunlight.
The rioters who gathered under the high platform also saw the things placed in the boxes in front of the high platform. Looking at the brightly colored silks and satins and the dazzling jewelry, gold and silver, each one of them could not help but gasping with eyes shining.
If it weren't for the hundreds of soldiers in armor and swords unsheathed guarding the box, the contents in the box would have been robbed by the mob.
"Come here! Anyone who ignores military law and escapes from battle will be beheaded in public display!" Chen Yu shouted from the high platform.
Hundreds of soldiers in armor pushed dozens of recently captured fleeing thugs to the box in front of the high platform. Before these people could shout, they pushed them to the ground involuntarily and raised their knives, "click" and "click" dozens of bloody bullets.
heads fell to the ground.
The blood reflected the radiant gold and silver jewelry, exuding a heart-stopping blood color.
The strong smell of blood suddenly filled the air.
The rebels who were standing quietly in the camp suddenly became frightened and agitated, but when they saw the hundreds of soldiers wearing armor and still bleeding with swords in their hands, they quickly became quiet. No one dared to make a sound, and the whole camp was in a state of chaos.
Dead silence.
"Now that you have revolted, you are now soldiers instead of people. Those who do not follow military discipline, these dozens of heads are an example." Chen Yu was very satisfied with the effect just now and said sternly while looking at the densely packed heads.
"Don't you know the harshness of Qin's laws? If we defeat Chen County this time and use Qin's harsh punishments, will you still have a way to live? The only way to survive is to kill the nine tribes. However, although the Qin army in Chen County has
The equipment is powerful, but we are dozens of times stronger than the Qin army, so little Chen County can't attack it?" Chen Yu paused and pointed to the box in front of the stage and continued.
"You can take all these dozens of boxes of property for household use. However, there are countless such things in Chen County. Why don't you worry about not being rich and noble in Chen County? For the sake of future generations, you must know that the princes and generals have a lot of money? I'm going to Chen County.
In the county, you and others will worship the prime minister and grant you the title of marquis, and you will inherit your descendants; if Chen County does not go down, the violent Qin Dynasty will kill you and other nine tribes. Is there any way for you to retreat?"
By the end of the sentence, Chen Yu was shouting at the top of his lungs.
What a dramatic thing this is at this time and place!
Originally, Hu Hai thought that without the revolution of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the classic saying "Princes and generals would rather be in love", which has illuminated countless ambitious people who rebelled in later generations, should have disappeared. Unexpectedly, Chen Yu was still in today's situation.
I shouted out.
On one side are dozens of bloody heads and the severe punishments of the Qin Dynasty that exterminated the nine tribes; on the other side are the dazzling gold, silver, jewels, silks and satins, and the titles of marquises and prime ministers to bequeath their descendants. With such a simple comparison, you can imagine how to choose.
"Prince and General Xiang Ning has the guts!"
Under Chen Yu's instruction, an armored soldier shouted out first.
"Prince and general Xiang Ning has the guts!" Someone shouted immediately.
Then came the overwhelming shouts of "Princes and generals, Xiang Ning is so kind!" At this moment, all the rioters had forgotten the shrill screams under the city wall, and the still warm blood under the high platform.
At this moment, everyone was panting and shouting with red eyes, and there was only one thought in their minds: "Does the prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts!"
Meng Xin, who had been paying attention to the camp under the city, heard the shouts of "Princes and generals, Xiang Ning is so kind!" in the rebel camp. His face changed and he secretly shouted bad. He originally thought that after the first defeat,
Even if the rebel soldiers are not demoralized, they will not be able to organize a threatening attack soon.
But when he heard the overwhelming shouts in the rebel camp, Meng Chong knew that the next battle would definitely not be easy. It seemed that the leader of the rebel army was very talented, but what if such a simple army had morale?
Can it withstand the power of weapons?
There was a "bang" sound.
The door of the rebel camp opened wide, and dense crowds of rebels poured out. This time, the speed was obviously faster than last time, and they were no longer crowded together. The dispersed rebels were carrying simple ladders and shouting.
Attacked Chen County again.
Soon the rebels once again arrived five hundred steps away from the city wall. The trumpet sound of "woo woo" sounded again on the city wall.
After hearing the sound of the horn, the mob obviously became smarter and immediately dispersed even further. The sound of wooden bangs on the city wall, as dense as a torrential rain, immediately sounded. This was the Qin army's large-scale continuous-firing crossbow machine once again showing off its power.
Although the whistling sound of sharp arrows made all the people tremble, but if you attack, you will die, and if you don't attack, you will die. If you attack, you will be awarded gold, silver, and jewelry, and you will be crowned a prince and prime minister. So although they are scared, everyone still closes their eyes.
Praying not to ejaculate himself, he rushed forward with all his strength.
The big arrows also brought countless blood rains, but obviously because of the dispersion of the rebels, this attack only killed a few hundred people, and the effect was greatly reduced. Seeing this scene, the rebels believed Chen Yu's words even more
, morale became even stronger, and for a moment the cry of killing resounded through the sky.
The Qin soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed when they saw that the effectiveness of the crossbows was greatly reduced, but they still stood ready.
It takes time to reload the large continuous-firing crossbow machine, and the mob's charge was very fast and they were less than a hundred steps away from the city wall.
War drums and thunder suddenly sounded on the city wall, followed by a "boom" sound, followed by a "buzz" of black arrows whistling down from the sky. It was the Qin army's small crossbow.
"Ah"..."Ah"
Suddenly, screams could be heard under the city wall. The mobs who were charging towards them fell to the ground with arrows. However, they were unable to die for a while. They lay on the battlefield and screamed desperately. The momentum of the mob's charge was stalled again.
The Qin army's small crossbow was stringed quickly, followed by another "boom" and then a "buzz", and another rain of arrows rained down. The soldiers who were already slightly panicked under the first rain of arrows were even more confused.
, someone has already turned around and ran backwards.
"Dong-dong", "dong-dong" and "dong-dong" three short and rapid drum sounds came from the rebel camp.
The mob that had already dispersed and wanted to retreat heard the three rapid drum beats. After hesitating for a moment, someone finally shouted and took the lead and rushed forward. If someone took the lead, the remaining people who originally wanted to retreat also shouted to kill.
Then he mustered up the courage again and went straight to the city wall.
This was Chen Yuding's order when the rebels came out of the camp. Three drums were sounded, and they would fight to the death. Unless gold was raised, those who retreated would be killed without mercy, and their families would be sent to the army. So when the rebels heard the drums, they would rush to kill again.
Come up.
At this time, the rebels were approaching the city wall, and the large crossbow machines were no longer able to shoot. The Qin soldiers on the wall used crossbows and big bows to kill the rioters who were swarming. Occasionally, there were a few ladders attached to the city wall.
When the rebels climbed up, they were immediately overturned by the Qin army on the wall.
For more than an hour, the rebels were still unable to rush to the city. At every moment, countless rebels fell to the ground and died under the crossbows of the Qin army on the wall. However, because Chen Yu never called for gold to withdraw his troops, all the rebels could only stop.
They rushed to kill, hoping to get lucky and rush to the top of the city.
Seeing that the last ladder was overturned and smashed to the ground by the Qin army, Chen Yu finally asked someone to ring the gold. Hearing the sound of the gold ring, the mob retreated like a tide, and the Qin soldiers on the wall also collapsed to the ground helplessly.
From the five hundred steps away from the city wall to the bottom of the city wall, it became a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Arrows were everywhere, covered with the corpses of countless rioters and wounded soldiers who were not dead but still screaming. The blood stained the bottom of the city wall red.
Nearly five hundred steps to every inch of land.
The strong, nauseating smell of blood filled the air.
The rebels had never climbed onto the city wall, and they lacked all weapons, let alone long-range weapons that could inflict damage to the Qin army on the wall. However, the rebels' desperate charge made all the Qin troops look a little pale.
