Chapter 26: Plan to Capture Northland County

The rising sun in the morning shone on the high city wall. Wang Er, who had just gotten up from bed, stretched and walked to the top of Beidi City and began his day's work - guarding the city wall and looking into the distance.

.Suddenly he found that a team of thousands of people appeared in his sight, and shouted loudly to the people below: "Everyone, cheer up, there is an army coming towards us." Others who had just arrived were busy holding guns.

Spears were placed on both sides of the city gate in case someone attacked the city.

Beidi County was established by King Zhaoxiang of Qin after he destroyed Yiqu in the thirty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty. Since it is the capital of a small country, the height and thickness of the city walls and the construction of the city gates are relatively strong. If someone wants to capture Beidi County,

It is an impossible task without tens of thousands of people, and there are currently eight thousand guards in the city, so I don't care much about this team of thousands.

However, the necessary preparations still need to be made. After Wang Er conveyed the news, a man was already riding a horse and passed towards the team of 1,000 people. When he came to the team, he saw a large banner standing in front of the team of 1,000 people.

The flag had a large Mongolian character written on it. "Where did you come from as a team? Do you have a document to clear the customs?" Seeing that these thousand people were all strong men, Chen Wu, who came to ask about the situation, asked loudly.

"I am the deputy general manager of the palace, Zai Ji Zai. Now I have summoned General Meng Tian back to Xianyang under the orders of Xianyang." A high-pitched voice came from the team.

Chen Wuxun looked around and saw a Zaiji wearing eunuch clothes sitting in a carriage. At this time, he stuck his head out to answer him. When he turned around, he saw a mighty man in his thirties sitting upright.

On a horse beside the carriage. "It turns out to be Master Zai and General Meng, please come into the city quickly." After saying this, he bowed to the horse, turned the horse's head and led them towards the northern city.

At this time, the city gate that was already wide open had been closed. It was not until Chen Wu came to the city to explain the situation that someone from above showed his head and said: "Let them take out the credentials. We just received an order not to let me go to the north."

A person must pass by, unless he is really a special envoy of the imperial court."

Zaiji couldn't help but poked his head out again and cursed: "It's really blinding. Even I, Mr. Zai, don't recognize me." Then he took out a bronze medal from his arms and threw it to Chen Wudao: "Go and show them, this brand is even

You can enter and leave Xianyang Palace at will."

Chen Wu hurriedly took the plaque respectfully and put it in the small hanging basket. After a while, the general guarding the city probably recognized the origin of the bronze plaque, and then someone loudly said: "Open the city gate.

, We sincerely welcome you all to enter the city." With a creaking sound, the city gate, which was five feet high and three feet wide, slowly opened.

Zaiji retracted his head back into the car when he saw the city gate opened. Once he got back into the car, the domineering expression just now disappeared completely, and instead he showed a flattering smile. Fusu, who was sitting behind him, praised

: "Yes, your acting skills are really what they are. I think you can win a statuette if you go to the Oscars, but there will have to be a Best Male and Female Award." Zaiji didn't understand what Fusu meant by Oscar.

What the hell, I could only smile flatteringly from the side.

More than a thousand people slowly walked into the city. Meng Tian looked around and knew that if the city were to be attacked by force, it would take tens of thousands of people to fight for five or six days to defeat it. Its walls were tall, not to mention him.

The stacked stones on the city tower alone were enough to take two days to smash, and there were also buildings in the city that could be demolished. There were already hundreds of people waiting there on the opposite side, and Meng Tian hurriedly rode up and ran up.

The two generals on the side winked and ordered them to lead people to seize the city gate immediately.

Guarding this city is a leftist general named Lu Haodong, who is about fifty years old and has always been known for his caution. He received a document from the court saying that the Huns may appear here and asked him to carefully investigate and pass through this place.

That's why the scene just happened. But he still admired Meng Tian who defeated the Huns twice at a young age. He knew Meng Tian's identity when he saw his clothes, and looked at him

Alone and leading towards his side, Ma Yingying did not dare to neglect and urged his horse to meet him.

The two generals under Meng Tian's command deliberately slowed down and began to issue instructions one by one to the soldiers who were still entering the city. They had quietly operated the crossbows in their hands, and the

The carriage intentionally or unintentionally blocked the opponent's sight from the city gate.

Fusu in the car looked at Zaiji, whose face was a little pale due to nervousness, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zai, the inner wall of this car is made of copper, and arrows cannot penetrate at all." Zaiji could only smile bitterly at him.

After a while, now he has completely become a person on Fusu's side. Of course he hopes that Fusu and the others can succeed, otherwise he will be dead.

Ma Yingjie and Meng Tian's horses were close together. Ma Yingjie dismounted and said, "The last general has met General Meng."

As soon as he got off his horse and saluted, Meng Tian had already found a perfect opportunity to kill him. Now was not the time to be merciful to the enemy. Without saying a word, Meng Tian pulled out the long knife hanging on his waist and slashed at the back of Ma Yingying's neck.

When Ma Yingjie heard the sound of the knife being unsheathed and looked up, the knife had already hit him. Meng Tian was aiming to establish his authority with this knife, so he used great strength. When he raised the knife and dropped it, Ma Yingjie's head was chopped off by him.

On the ground, his face still showed a look that was half surprised and half respectful.

As Ma Yingying's head fell to the ground, the thousand-man commando team brought by Meng Tian took action. Fifty of them rushed towards the soldiers guarding the city gate, and before they could react, they had already surrounded the more than twenty people.

The soldiers who were guarding the city never imagined that the people who opened the city to welcome them would suddenly take their own lives, so they lost their lives in a confused manner. Another three hundred people rushed to the city wall and defended the city at the top.

The defenders launched an attack, and the others rushed towards the officials and generals of Beidi County who followed Ma Yingjie to greet them.

After a short period of confusion at the beginning because the general was killed, the army immediately showed their calmness in times of crisis. Under the leadership of Ma Yingying's deputy general, they formed a formation to block the civilian officials. But they appeared in front of them.

It was not the soldiers charging forward, but the heavy crossbow arrows. This time, each of the thousand-man team that Fusu and his team came to was equipped with a crossbow machine. The power of the crossbow arrows was great when the enemy was not fully armored.

It's shocking, the sound of the arrow breaking through the air is enough to make the dull sound of the arrow entering the flesh, followed by the screams of the person who was hit by the arrow.

After Meng Tian killed Ma Lu Haodong, he was already protected by the guards who stepped forward quickly. He calmly mobilized the soldiers to attack the enemy who had just formed a formation. At the same time, fifty warriors at the city gate had already attacked those enemies.

All the soldiers guarding the city gate were removed, and then the city gate was opened as wide as possible. One of them had already fired a loud arrow, beckoning the troops who were ambushing in the distance to come quickly.

Compared to these two places, the battle at the top of the city was a stalemate. Although there were only more than a hundred people at the top of the city, they had stones and bows and arrows to help them. The three hundred people charged several times but were completely unable to do so. Instead,

More than ten people were stoned to death, and more than ten people were injured by bows and arrows. In desperation, they had no choice but to shoot at each other with the people above them. While they were condescending, they relied on the fact that the crossbows had a farther range than bows and arrows, and it became a stalemate.

.However, they still held back the defenders on the city wall, preventing them from attacking the large forces that had arrived for support.

At this time, Fusu had already got off the carriage and mounted a horse. Looking at the fierce battle in front of him, he felt that it was even more tragic than the last time he fought against the Huns' attack in the upper valley. In the Cold Weapon Age, this kind of hand-to-hand combat with flesh and blood was more fierce than before.

Shooting guns can arouse a man's ambition. Fusu, who was so excited that he saw it, also drew his sword and was about to rush forward, but his own soldiers held the horse's rein tightly: "Prince, you can't take risks easily.

"After hearing the words of the soldiers, Fusu realized that his status was indeed not suitable for charging into battle, so he had to give up.

The defenders in the city have been running out to fight back against Fusu's army, but this thousand-man team is a death squad. It is impossible to make them retreat. Only by killing them can they stop their attack.

With the sound of heavy horse hoofbeats, the backup troops had arrived. Under the leadership of Zhang Wu, 30,000 troops rushed into Beidi City like a tide. The first ones were the cavalry with saddles and stirrups who had been trained to drink alcohol.

Holding long-handled weapons that were not yet possible for cavalry to hold, they rushed into the army defending the city. With a horse as the center, no one could stand within a radius of about ten feet. Only then did the cavalry really show its full potential.

The role of cavalry is to use horse power to increase manpower. Because there is support under the feet, both hands can wield the spear with all their strength. In just one attack, the five thousand cavalry have already driven back some space that the defenders spent hundreds of lives to gain.

.

Immediately afterwards, the infantrymen from behind also entered the city, and some of them went to the tower to support the three hundred people who were attacking the tower. At the same time, there were people outside the city who set up ladders and launched an attack on the city wall from outside the city. Under the attack from both inside and outside, that one

More than a hundred people immediately became their dead souls, and the city wall completely collapsed.

Meng Tian saw that his side had completely mastered the situation, and hurriedly directed the army not to fight to the death with the enemy, but instead adopted the tactics of encirclement and oppression to put pressure on them. Under the slow advancement of the 30,000-strong army, the soldiers defending the city retreated step by step.

Go, and just as he was about to retreat to the city wall on the other side, Fusu walked out from the crowd and shouted to the soldiers under the protection of the shield: "My warriors of Great Qin, please don't do unnecessary things anymore."

Resisted. Hu Hai stole the throne and killed the emperor. He also wanted to kill me Fusu. Now I am raising troops to put down the rebellion according to the orthodoxy of Da Qin. You should know what Hu Hai did. Only by removing him can I, Da Qin, prosper.

Ten Thousand Generations. If you still resist, then you are aiding the evil deeds and will be infamy for eternity. As long as you are willing to surrender to me, Fusu, I, Fusu, will ensure that you are still soldiers of my Great Qin."

Seeing the eldest prince Fusu personally come out to persuade him to surrender, some people finally lost the courage to resist. As the first person dropped his weapon, everyone else dropped their weapons.
