When thousands of rebel troops crowded in front of the rebel camp saw the Qin cavalry swarming in like a turbulent wave, they suddenly became more confused. Everyone wanted to enter the camp first, although the wooden fence did not look like it. It's strong, but it's better than being trampled to pieces by Qin's cavalry in the wilderness.
Hundreds of people crowded at the gate of the camp. The more they tried to get in, the tighter the crowd became, and the harder it was to get in. Soon, several people were squeezed to the ground at the gate of the camp, and were pushed behind them before they could get up. The insurgent troops trampled them to death.
For a time, there was chaos at the gate of the camp.
Zhou Wen and other generals could see clearly in the camp, but there was nothing they could do. Even if there was a way, Zhou Wen would not risk the Qin cavalry breaking through the camp to save these people at this moment.
Soon, the rebels who were still in the wilderness came up with a way. Dozens of people worked together to pull down some of the fences of the camp and return to the main camp.
Zhou Wen's expression changed when he saw this situation. He pointed at the rebels who were pulling down the fence and loudly ordered to his guards: "Use bows and arrows to shoot those rebels who want to pull down the fence! Quick!"
The personal guards who heard Zhou Wen's order were stunned.
"What are you still doing? Do you want these rebels to open the camp and let Qin's cavalry break through the camp?" Zhou Wen said fiercely.
Hundreds of guards hesitantly took out their bows and arrows, but no one took action.
"Listen to my orders, and those who disobey them will be killed!" Zhou Wen said, grabbing the strong bow of a bodyguard beside him and shooting it at a small rebel who had finally climbed up the fence with the help of the rebels nearby.
The little man had just climbed up the fence when he was hit in the chest by a sudden arrow. It seemed that Zhou Wen's archery skills were quite accurate.
He looked blankly at the long arrow stuck in his chest, and then at Zhou Wen, who was standing with a bow and a ferocious expression on his face. With deep puzzlement and confusion in his eyes, he fell down from the fence.
This sudden scene made all the rioters who were still struggling outside the fence stunned at the same time.
"Fire the arrow!"
Zhou Wen shot one person down and immediately shouted loudly.
The guard next to him with his bow and arrows trembling when he heard Zhou Wen's order, shot out his arrows in twos and threes.
"Ah!" The rioters who were still desperately pulling on the fence were caught off guard. Suddenly, several people were hit by arrows and lay on the ground howling and struggling.
"General, save us!" "General, spare your life!"...
"Fire arrows!" Zhou Wen roared again, ignoring the begging rebels outside the fence, staring at the few people who didn't shoot arrows with blood-red eyes.
After the first time, the psychological barriers will be much less for the second time.
As soon as Zhou Wen finished speaking, hundreds of personal guards shot out the bows and arrows in their hands.
Soon, except for a few rioters who ran away early when they saw the situation was bad, the remaining dozens of rioters were shot and killed on the spot.
At this moment, the dark clouds of crossbow arrows fired by more than ten thousand Qin cavalry have already reached the heads of the rebels who have not yet entered the camp.
With the "pop" sound of crossbow arrows entering the body, the black arrow rain fell on thousands of rebels who had not retreated into the camp in the blink of an eye.
"ah!"
For a while, screams could not be heard, and the first wave of crossbow arrows rained down. The number of rebels crowding at the gate of the camp was reduced by more than half, and most of the remaining rebels were injured and had only received one or two arrows.
The crossbow arrows were only eight inches long, so most of the dead rebels had received at least five or six arrows, and some unlucky ones had received more than ten arrows, turning into human-shaped hedgehogs.
Seeing the damage caused by a volley of Da Qin cavalry, Zhou Wen, who was standing in the camp, suddenly turned pale. As a former captain of Da Qin, he knew better than anyone else that among Da Qin soldiers, the powerful crossbows of infantry were the most powerful.
Frightening.
Seeing that more than ten thousand Qin cavalry were less than a hundred steps away from the camp, Zhou Wen looked at the thousands of rebel troops who were still struggling and howling outside the camp, gritted his teeth and said: "Send the order, close the gate of the camp, beat the drums, and let the elite soldiers of the Chinese army
When we line up, we must not let the Qin cavalry break through the camp."
"General! There are thousands of soldiers outside the camp who have not yet entered the camp. Should we wait a little longer?" Zhou Shi next to him hesitated and advised.
"Wait a little longer? Wait a little longer and the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty can rush directly into the camp." Zhou Wen said with a livid face.
Since Zhang Er can be regarded as the number one general, Zhou Wen actually still has a few tricks up his sleeve. However, his invincibility in Chen County made Zhou Wen forget to be vigilant. He did not send any scouts to guard Shang Cai's surroundings, and he did not do anything at all.
Set up defensive measures such as horse-repelling stakes and horse traps in front of the camp to restrain the cavalry.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of the Qin cavalry at this moment caught Zhou Wen off guard.
When Zhou Shi heard Zhou Wen's words, his face turned gloomy, and he turned his head silently, no longer looking at the thousands of soldiers outside the camp who were crying and begging for mercy.
"Close the gate of the village! The shield soldiers come forward!" Zhou Wen ordered loudly.
"Here!"
The guards resolutely carried out Zhou Wen's order this time. They had just shot and killed dozens of their own people, and now they felt much less guilty about closing the village gate.
There were at least one or two thousand rebels outside the camp who were still able to move. When they saw the guards around Zhou Wen trying to close the gate, they all became anxious. They kept pleading, but without Zhou Wen's order,
The guards were unmoved at all.
"That fellow Zhou Wen wants the lives of our brothers! Brothers, once the camp gate is closed, we will only die. We will attack the city and fight with all our strength. Now, this fellow Zhou Wen still treats us like this. If we want to die, we will all die together, fight
Get in!"
Seeing the Qin cavalry getting closer and closer, someone shouted.
"Yes! If we fight in, even if we die, we will take Zhou Wen with us!"
"Kill!"
…
The rebels who crowded in front of the camp gate and tried their best to block Zhou Wen's personal guards suddenly drew their swords and slashed at Zhou Wen's personal guards. The unprepared Zhou Wen's personal guards were immediately slashed to the ground.
The camp door that was about to be closed suddenly opened wide.
"Kill him! Even if he dies, he will take Zhou Wen and bury him with his brothers!"
Thousands of rebels who had been abandoned by Zhou Wen shouted and rushed towards Zhou Wen and other rebel generals. Each of them looked fiercely, trying to select and devour everyone, killing everyone on sight regardless of whether they were friends or foes. The chaos in the camp of the rebel army suddenly fell into chaos.
Zhou Wen, Zhou Shi and others did not expect that these rebels would attack their own people and fled in a hurry.
Fortunately, 20,000 armored elite soldiers from the Chinese army just arrived at this time. "Kill these untouchables who are making trouble!" Zhou Wen shouted loudly as he fled. After hearing Zhou Wen's order, the 20,000 armored elite soldiers faced the two thousand who rushed in.
Many rebel troops who were originally their own people started fighting.
The sudden chaos in the rebel camp made the soldiers of the Qin army who were rushing in were stunned at the same time. No one could figure out what the rebel army was up to and why their own people were fighting against their own people.
The leading cavalry captain roared, and the more than a thousand cavalrymen who were charging at the front immediately galloped out, threw their nooses towards the camp fence, and then galloped away in the opposite direction.
"Crack!"
The rebel army's camp was originally built hastily, but now it was pulled by more than a thousand Daqin cavalry, and an entire section of the wooden camp, a hundred feet long, broke and fell to the ground.
Without the fence to protect the camp, the rebel army's camp is now like a naked beauty, waiting to be ravaged by thousands of Qin cavalry!
