Qin Official

(The previous article is incorrect, it is Yang Xiong instead of Yang Xi)

"It's him!"

In the Wuchang camp, Huang Heshan asked for help. He said that there were more than a thousand Qin soldiers in uniforms with white cloth on their arms. They suddenly launched an attack on the arsenal. Yang Xiong, who had just been promoted to general, immediately attacked the case.

"He's back!"

Xin Yi, who was invited to come here for dinner, was stunned as he held his bowl: "General Yang, who is here?"

"Who else could it be?"

Yang Xiong sneered: "Of course it's the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Marquis Wu Zhong of Great Qin, Hei Fu!"

"ah!?"

Xin Yi was shocked: "General, be careful, isn't Marquis Wu Zhong already..."

Yang Xiong said: "Yes, he is dead. He died without seeing his body, or he may have faked his death."

Unlike Xin Yi, the Wuchang camp general who had been in the south for a long time, Yang Xiong had been serving as a captain in the lieutenant army. After Fu Su fled, he was very clear about the series of changes in Xianyang.

In the eyes of everyone, Heifu was undoubtedly a member of Fusu's party. Now that Fusu had fallen, and coupled with the rumors that "he was the one who destroyed Qin," there was no way he would be safe.

This time when he went south with him, Yang Xiong was placed under the command of Wu Xinhou Feng Wuze. Feng Wuze secretly greeted Yang Xiong. The court suspected that Heifu was still alive and that the Southern Expeditionary Army might rebel at any time, so he asked him to bring 5,000 Guanzhong soldiers. After Li You relieved the weapons and armor of 30,000 soldiers from the Wuchang camp, they saw that Live them...

"But everyone thought that even if Mr. Wei was not dead, he should be hiding somewhere in Lingnan to avoid His Majesty's summons. Who would have expected that he would be so bold as to sneak to Hengshan and Nanjun and then suddenly attack!"

More than a thousand elite armed forces stormed the arsenal brazenly. This was not something that ordinary Yunmengze bandits would dare to do. Yang Xiong was sure that this must have something to do with Heifu.

Yang Xiong tutted: "He is indeed a famous general of the new generation. General Feng was stationed in Zhucheng and was out of reach. When General Li You went south to Changsha and was unable to turn back in time, he attacked our Wuchang camp. It was really unprepared and caught him by surprise."

Xin Yi was already a little panicked: "Whether they are Marquis Wu Zhong or not, those who attacked the arsenal must be rebels! Now that Huanghe Mountain is in danger, General Yang should send troops to help immediately!"

The arsenal is the most important place in a city. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the arsenal was always the primary target when there were internal strife, rebellions, and uprisings among the countrymen. The arsenal was first seized to obtain ordnance, in order to gain an equipment advantage in the battle.

The arsenal was built on Yellow Crane Mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Yang Xi left a thousand people to guard it, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. However, they could only guard against small thieves. When encountering an elite attack, it would be difficult to resist. Once The arsenal fell into the hands of the rebels, and all the armor, vehicles, machinery, and arrows in it were theirs.

After all, he was an official who had participated in the Unification War. Yang Xiong was very calm. After thinking about it, he said, "General Xin, who built this Wuchang Camp?"

"Wu... built by Wu Zhonghou."

"Who else knows the advantages and disadvantages of this camp better than him? I always thought it was strange to build the arsenal a few miles away in Huanghe Mountain. Now it seems that this prince has a plan."

Yang Xiong guessed Heifu's plan: "The Art of War says that if I want to fight, even if the enemy has high fortresses and deep ditches, those who have no choice but to fight me will have to attack and save them."

"If what is expected is true, there will definitely be more than a thousand rebels outside! There must be ambushes hiding in the grass. Although our army has four or five thousand soldiers, we must be distracted from guarding the 30,000 people in the camp. At most, we can send two Thousands of people are going there, and they might be ambushed halfway!"

Sure enough, when Yang Xiong ordered the scouts to visit again, they reported that on the road leading to Huanghe Mountain, there were dry swamp reeds on the south side, and as expected, birds did not dare to alight...

"The ambush will be there!"

Xin Yi broke into a cold sweat and was extremely frightened: "General Yang really understands Marquis Wu Zhong's military skills."

Yang Xiong shook his head helplessly: "When Wei was destroyed, I was the commander. He was the commander of the army under me. How could he not know that?"

If I remember correctly, at that time, Heifu had gone through the path of Du Qian, the former Anlu County captain, before joining Yang Xiong's army. Who would have thought that from then on, he would rise steadily to the top of the 20th rank of Chehou...

What is even more unexpected is that such a monarch did not respect the emperor's orders, faked his death to avoid being summoned, and finally rebelled!

"This must be the biggest general rebellion in the Qin Dynasty after Huan's rebellion!"

Xin Yi's heart was numb: "General Yang, what should we do now?"

Yang smiled and said: "How about surrendering?"

Xin Yi was horrified: "This...if we become national or military thieves, won't our clan and family members be implicated?"

"It's good that General Xin knows."

Yang Xiong sneered and said: "Even for the sake of the clan, we can't let him succeed, but now that the enemy is hidden and we are clear, in order to prevent the entire army from being annihilated, the arsenal has no choice but to give up!"

Yang Xiong made a decisive decision: "Fighting against a large number of people is like fighting against a small number. This is true in name and in name. If we insist on defending Wuchang Camp, we may be attacked from both inside and outside. We may appear to be a large number of people, but in fact we are outnumbered. It is better to gather all the trustworthy soldiers at hand." , go to the dock, guard the ship, and wait for help from Xiakou!"

…

"Yang Xiong has not changed. He is still so cautious. He would rather break his arm than rush out of the camp and be stabbed in the heart by me."

Seeing the Wuchang Camp with the door closed and only the scouts and spies approaching, Heifu smiled.

When the Dongmen Leopards led more than a thousand men to storm Huanghe Mountain, Heifu did indeed take the remaining two thousand men to hide in the grass. The Wuchang Camp had to send people out to rescue them, catching them off guard. As long as some of them were annihilated, they would be able to seize the throne. Camping is as easy as flipping a finger.

But Yang Xiong was not fooled.

Heifu couldn't help but think of the battle to destroy Wei more than ten years ago. He was still a small village chief under Yang Xiong. As the son of Yang Duanhe, Yang Xiong seemed to have no independent opinions. He called everyone to ask for advice every time he fought, but in fact On the other hand, he is a very scheming person. He seemed to always want to deliberately let the Five Hundred Masters, who liked to make suggestions and steal the limelight, come up with some ineffective strategies. After being slapped in the face, Yang Xiong stood up again and put forward what he thought.

In this way, on the one hand, he can be praised as being good at listening to his subordinates. On the other hand, he can make the decision at the critical moment every time and reverse the wrong strategy.

Moreover, this person is worthy of being a general and has a very thorough understanding of the art of war.

"But are you being too cautious and cautious?"

If people don't fall for it, there's no need for Hei Fu to hide anymore.

"In that case, execute the second plan!"

With the sound of horns and drums, more than two thousand people in the grassland stood up in response. Each of them had white scarves on their arms. After resting and being encouraged several times, they no longer had any doubts and had enough strength. After Heifu gave the order, , and kill towards the Huangheshan arsenal!

…

Huanghe Mountain was originally called Snake Mountain, but it was renamed by Heifu. The arsenal was built from the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain. The mountain is not high, only more than forty feet, and the mountain is not too steep. It is mid-spring and the mountain is full of green.

There were still some local birds in the forest, but they had already been frightened by the fierce battle and took off, their cries piercing the silence.

For the guards of the arsenal, this battle was unexpected. Seeing that the troops coming from the opposite side were clearly the Qin army with a clear banner, the leader was still a little hesitant. Unexpectedly, the opponent shouted to hand over, but when he got close, he suddenly launched attack!

Although the arsenal was guarded by the Qin soldiers in Guanzhong, their armor and equipment were well-equipped, and their combat effectiveness was not the same as that of the Chu army and the Yue people. However, it was the eve of the evening, and most of the soldiers were eating. They were caught off guard and were attacked, so they could only pick it up carelessly. Weapons rise to the challenge. As a result, they were rushed halfway up the mountain in one breath. Hundreds of people were killed or captured. The remaining people could only rely on the last wall to resist.

Since Dongmen Bao became the captain, he has not had the opportunity to wear a strong sword for a long time. Now with Hei Fu's permission, he put on thick double armor, held a halberd, and led 500 people to attack the camp and was about to rush in. The last barrier was hit by a fierce crossbow shot.

It is a crossbow with a well-equipped arsenal. The crossbows used by dozens of kickers are all powerful crossbows that can shoot more than a hundred steps away. Dozens of thick crossbow arrows leave the string like lightning, and they reach the outside of the base in an instant. Hundreds of arms Zhang Nu followed immediately, rain fell like rain, and all those caught fell to the ground!

The first climbers could only hide behind the building. Even so, they could still hear the sound of the crossbow hammer being nailed to the wall.

"If it keeps shooting, even the walls can collapse. It's not easy to break through."

Dongmen Leopard licked his lips and looked to the left and right.

When the arsenal was being built, two trails were opened on both sides of the road leading to the top of the mountain. Now he has ordered Xing and Wu Chen each to lead a team of a hundred people, and they have reached through from the side, but there are still hundreds of guards left, and it is impossible for them to break through easily.

At this moment, the two thousand people led by Hei Fu also arrived at the foot of the mountain, and a red flag with the word " Wei" in white letters on a black background was hoisted!

Two thousand people shouted in unison:

"The treacherous ministers in the court plotted rebellion and killed Your Majesty. Marquis Wu Zhong returned to Jingnan in accordance with His Majesty's decree. Those who resist will be regarded as treason, and those who surrender will not die!"

The recalcitrant officers and soldiers on the top of the mountain were dumbfounded. They thought they were being attacked by a group of thieves pretending to be the Qin army. But now, the other party is using the banner of the dead Marquis Wu Zhong and claiming to be here to quell the rebellion in Jingnan?

is true? is fake?

After doing this for a long time, have you become a rebel?

The guards were suspicious, and their bows and arrows stopped for a moment. But when they saw this moment, two hundred people on the mountain roads on both sides suddenly shouted, or they were holding crossbows and shooting from high up, or they were shooting from the steep slope regardless of the height of two or three feet. On the hillside, jump right down!

The Dongmen Leopard suddenly rose up, threw the halberd in his hand, and stabbed to death a crossbowman who was about to fire an arrow behind the barrier. He then ran forward with his spear, leading everyone straight to the wall!

The guards inside the wall were busy fighting with the people who jumped down from the top of the mountain. The gate was split open with a big axe. The violent tiger from the east gate came in with a loud cry. He thrust his spear heavily into the chest of a Qin official, then drew the knife in his hand and slashed left and right. When he saw someone with no white sleeves on his arm, he slashed with the knife, knocking down four or five people in a blink of an eye. The rest of the short-range personal guards followed closely behind him, slashing forward as if they were entering an uninhabited land...

In a small-scale battle, Ichifu's courage had a great effect. The guards were frightened and at a loss, but everyone under Heifu knew why they were fighting. Not long after, the Huangheshan arsenal located halfway up the mountain was about to be lost.

But the leader guarding the arsenal was a conscientious man. Facing this group of "rebels", he made the right decision at the last moment.

Holding the bleeding wound, he retreated to the highest beacon tower with the last few people.

Regardless of the wound, Captain took out the flint he carried with him and struck it tremblingly and clumsily.

Boom, boom, boom, after three sounds, finally, a spark appeared. It jumped onto the flammable straw, quickly turned into a bright flame, and was passed to several pine torches...

"He is a rebel. No matter how nice his words are, we cannot disobey him and our family members in Guanzhong will be implicated!"

The unknown leader glanced at the few short-hand guards, and everyone nodded. When the sound of banging on the door became louder and louder outside, he threw the fire into the pyre in the corner...

The flames grew bigger on the firewood pile, jumped up to the pillars and beams, and finally set the entire sentry tower on fire!

Accompanied by shrill screams, flames bloomed on the sentry tower, lighting up a corner of the night. This huge candle could be seen within a radius of dozens of miles!

…

"General Yang, look!"

In the Wuchang camp a few miles away, Yang Xiong summoned the 4,000 soldiers he had brought with him and the 1,000 short-soldier guards from Xinyi. The group left behind 30,000 veterans of the Southern Expedition Army who were still kept in the dark, and left from Wuchang. Evacuate the north gate of the camp.

Being summoned by his personal guards, Yang Xiong turned around and saw the flames burning on Yellow Crane Mountain in the distance...

"Commander Zheng, that's great. Even if you can't burn all the weapons, armor, and arrows in the arsenal, you can at least notify Xiakou on the other side of the attack on the Wuchang Camp immediately..."

The Xiakou garrison arrived just a few days ago. Although there are only three thousand, it is still better than nothing.

There were tears in Yang Xiong's eyes, but then they turned cold.

"It reminds me that although we have to concentrate our forces and surrender the dock, we can't just leave like this!"

He turned around, looked at the camp where 30,000 people were stationed, and issued a crazy order!

"Light a fire and burn the Wuchang camp, along with the 30,000 people inside!"

Xin Yi was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse: "General Yang, these are thirty thousand people, and they are all Qin soldiers!"

Yang Xiong sneered: "Most of them are from Jianghuai and Chu, who are they from Qin?"

"And after a while, they will no longer be soldiers of the imperial court, but thieves and bandits."

Yang Xiong's face was a little ferocious:

"Even if they can't be burned to death, I would rather let these 30,000 people flee in all directions and become dead and remnant bandits than let them rebel here and strengthen the rebel army!"

…

"Junhou, look!"

Dongmen Bao and others were still counting weapons in the arsenal, asking the soldiers to change their uniforms, and replenishing arrows. Wu Chen pointed at the Wuchang Camp in the distance and shouted loudly.

"I saw it."

Heifu stood at the foot of Yellow Crane Mountain. The fire in the sentry tower behind him was not extinguished. However, in the Wuchang Camp in the distance, an even bigger flame broke out!

The fire started from the northern part of the camp. Even though the design and structure were reasonable, the camps were separated by a certain distance, and there were even fire-proof gullies, it still spread to some camps because it was set ablaze everywhere.

In the huge military camp, screams and screams could be heard endlessly. Red fire, yellow fire, and orange fire were like bouquets of flowers blooming in the night sky, competing with each other. Anyway, there was no one on guard. People kept escaping from the military camp, looking around in confusion. .

"It's really cruel. Of course, this kind of fire cannot burn all 30,000 people to death, but it is enough to make them panic and run away. Even if I go over now, it will be good if I can gather half of them..."

Heifu shook his head: "Yang Xiong, I still underestimated you!"

"General, what should we do now?" Wu Chen was a little anxious. That fire destroyed their plan.

"it's useless."

Heifu got on the horse: "Yang Xiong thought that the fire he lit was to burn out the danger and use it to remedy the situation. Little did he know, it was actually playing with fire!"

He laughed in the firelight.

"Now, I don't need to incite you. For those 30,000 veterans of the Southern Expedition, it's clear who treats them like nothing, who cherishes them as innocent children, who wants to kill them, and who comes to save them!"

After saying this, Heifu shouted:

"Pe, raise the flag."

"promise!"

The five hundred big men struggled to carry Heifu's flag, and hundreds of personal guards also rode horses captured from the arsenal to guard Heifu's left and right sides.

Heifu urged the war horses and led them towards the place where the flames were the strongest, and towards the place where people were most panicked and at a loss what to do!

"Come with me."

"Let everyone reunite under my flag!"

"Go and take this fire, and then hold it up high, so that the whole world can see it! The first rebellion has begun, and it will surely be ignited in the original place, and it cannot go anywhere near!"
