Section 12 Ambush and Kill Chen Sheng
Zhang Han's joy and support showed that Fu Ge added a little more confidence. Compared with the generals sitting in the tent talking about war, Fu Ge has not been idle for the past three days. The terrain and landforms of Jiacheng, Xuxian and Chenxian areas and even the conditions of the rebel forces were clearly understood.
Only by knowing oneself and an enemy can one be defeated in a hundred battles. This is the words of Sun Wu, a military master. Although Fu Ge didn't know much literacy, he had at least been hiding in the Qin army for a long time with his father, and he still understood this basic military common sense.
In order to cover up his movements, Fu Ge simply ordered the soldiers to change into the costumes of the people, abandoned the bows and arrows in his hands, and found some wooden sticks and machetes as weapons. From the outside, Fu Ge and the others were no different from the rebels.
The rebels' defenses in Jiacheng and Xuxian were not tight. Deng said that and Wu Xu each led thousands of troops to station in the city, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled. The weapons in these people were also diverse, including long sticks, short swords, simple bows, etc. The most risky time Fu Ge brought a few soldiers to a place not far from the city gate, but did not encounter rebels coming to interrogate.
Laxity will cost them.
Fu Ge was not so lucky in Zhang He. As the main force to protect the capital of "Zhang Chu", Zhang He had 35,000 rebels under him, and most of them were young and strong soldiers. The weapons in their hands were neat, and they even had crossbows and infantry units. This was a tough and hard bone to crack.
This time, Fu Ge and others had just arrived ten miles outside Chen County when they were discovered by a small group of patrolling sentries. After Fu Ge showed that his family was also a rising citizen, the sentry team still refused to let Fu Ge and the others go to see Zhang He. There was no way, they were seeking death by themselves, and they could not blame the heavens or the earth.
With a command, the Qin soldiers around him who were preparing to cover all rushed out, killing all the dozen rebels.
Zhang Han's encouragement dispelled Fu Ge's concerns. After taking a few steps forward, Fu Ge pointed to the sheepskin map on the Zhang Han's case and said loudly: "General, please look here. Jiacheng and Xu County are located in the north of Chen County. One left and one right are distributed in the two Hebei routes of our army. If we do not remove these two nails first, they may attack and intercept our army's rear route at any time. Once the army's food, grass and supplies are missing, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fu Ge's position is humble and the general needs to decide where the troops are launched!"
After finishing what he wanted to say in his heart in one breath, Fu Ge's expression was as calm as at the beginning. Looking at the generals around him, Fu Ge saw many people showing surprise expressions on their faces.
They probably never imagined that a low-level military marquis would have such rigorous logic and such detailed inferences!
In fact, it was not only them, but even Fu Ge was surprised by his performance. Before, both in Lintao and in the recruit camp, Fu Ge was a person who didn't speak much. In many cases, Fu Ge preferred to sit quietly and think blankly: Di people are so smart that they would even think of covering a thick layer of animal skin on the horse's back to prevent the pain of their butts. This method is not bad, but there may be a better way to replace it.
Sometimes, some inexplicable fragments appeared in Fu Ge's mind. Fu Ge could see big boxes moving quickly, big houses taller than big trees in the forest, and many things that Fu Ge could not name at all.
Every time these things appear before Fu Ge's eyes, Fu Ge will be confused and understand that he is an ordinary person in this era, but it seems that he does not belong to this era?
Perhaps, it was this kind of random thought that allowed Fu Ge to have a deeper knowledge than others, or perhaps that was the real Fu Ge.
After Fu Ge finished speaking, the military tent was silent for a long time, and finally Zhang Han laughed: "Fu Junhou, defeat the rebels and kill Chu Ni, you should be the first to be the master!"
The progress of the war was as expected by Fu Ge. Deng said that Wu Xu's performance was really poor. The Qin army did not take much effort to defeat the two armies. Wu Xu died in the chaos. Deng said that he fled to Chen County, but was killed by the furious Chen Sheng.
Finally the time for the decisive battle has come.
Chen Sheng, who had no way out, could indeed bear the responsibility of a prince. He did not flee without fighting, but instead set up a formation outside Chen County. In this battle, the rebels dispatched nearly 40,000 elite rebels, and Chen Sheng personally supervised the battle. Zhang Chu's regime's Shangzhu Kingdom Fang Jun, Cai Ci and other civil and military officials were also on the left. At the forefront of the battle formation, he was the most capable general under Chen Sheng.
However, after winning consecutive battles, the Qin army led by Zhang Han was 150,000, which was far more than Chen Sheng's team. Such a battle was difficult for Chen Sheng to have a chance of winning.
This day was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of the Qin II.
The sky is covered with clouds and rain and snow. The winter in the Jianghuai area is always like this sleet weather. Fu Ge led his subordinates to cruising on the edge of the battlefield, close to the southeast of Chen County, downstream of the water, and to the south is the boundary of Jiujiang County. In such a huge battle against the enemy, light infantry without protection had almost no chance of survival. Zhang Han also had to send Fu Ge and others to great use, so he naturally couldn't bear to lose the ace in his hand in a meaningless war of attrition.
The main force of the attack was the heavy infantry formation. It was said to be heavy equipment, but in fact it was just a few more soft leather armors to protect the chest, back, and shoulders than Fu Ge and others. The heavy infantry mainly used weapons such as spears, spears, and axes that were suitable for long-distance combat. Among the Qin army, the number of heavy infantry was the largest, far higher than that of light infantry, cavalry, crossbows and sailors.
In fact, it is not the turn of Fu Ge, an outsider, to join the battle group.
"If anyone wins Chen Sheng's head, he will reward a thousand pounds of gold and tens of thousands of households!" The Qin court had long hated Chen Sheng, and the conditions for rewards were getting more and more favorable. The generals had already fought for such great achievements.
At noon, the decisive battle finally began.
"Boom--!" The sound of golden drums that were yelling with the singing of the soldiers on both sides, nearly 200,000 soldiers were fighting outside Chen County. The black Qin army flags and red rebel flags were moving forward and retreating like tides. The spring tide broke through the ice, the flood flowed, and the huge waves of charge came one after another, covering the sky and the earth, making people breathless.
In the evening, blood had dyed the water into a red river. Fu Ge couldn't imagine the specific situation of the battle. Fu Ge only saw the generals of the Qin Dynasty constantly mobilizing their troops to fill the battle formation. One song, one song, one piece, five thousand people, and ten pieces were 50,000. A total of nearly 100,000 heavy infantry were sent to the battlefield. Most of these people were Lishan's prisoners and private servants. At the beginning, Zhang Han liberated them with the edict of the Second Emperor, and told them that as long as they tried to kill the enemy, they would be pardoned. But now, many of them no longer need to pardon.
Fu Ge didn't know whether it was the emperor who deceived them, or Zhang Han who deceived them, or whether these people were too stupid and stupid, and deserved it if they died.
Thinking of this, Fu Ge couldn't laugh anymore. When he was making fun of them, was Fu Ge himself smart?
Isn’t Fu Ge now a tool of the court? Isn’t Zhang Han using him?
Looking at the red river of water flowing, Fu Ge was speechless.
This life is a gamble. If a person wants to control his own destiny, he must first bet his capital. For Fu Ge, who is naked, the biggest and only capital is his life.
In fact, who is not like this?
This is the case for the soldiers of the rebels, Chen Sheng, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and the general Zhang Han. In the end, isn’t it the same as the emperor of the Qin Dynasty?
On the eighth day of the lunar month, it was a night of rain and snow. The moon hid in the clouds and stopped appearing again, as if she couldn't bear to see such killing in the world. There was no other way in the sky except for a touch of white behind the snow.
A rustling sound was as Fu Ge expected, and from the battlefield in the north, it was like a sand silkworm chewing mulberry leaves. It was soft and unheard at the beginning, and in just a moment it caused a roar of roar in the ear drum.
"The whole army is ready to intercept and kill the fleeing enemy!" Fu Ge raised the spear in his hand high and shouted loudly.
A thousand crossbowmen who were ready to go fired three rows of fire. As long as Chen Sheng led the remaining troops to retreat south, he would have to be treated first by Fu Ge's rain of arrows.
"Go away quickly, take your lord to retreat south!"
The wheels rolled and the horse's hooves were thriving. In the vast twilight, an army was coming south along the wash water.
While hearing the shouts, Fu Ge vaguely saw that the other party's flag was also red with the reflection of the ripples on the water. As long as it was not the black flag of the Qin army, it must be the remnants of the rebels.
"After the enemy approaches, three rows of fire in turn!" Fu Ge lowered his body and carefully instructed the soldiers not to alert the enemy.
Finally, Fu Ge saw a large number of rebels urging a chariot to come here in a hurry. The chariot, which can only be equipped by the commander or important general, is quite exquisitely made. First, there must be professional craftsmen, and secondly, some rare minerals must be used. Generally, one or several layers of paint must be added to the body of the car to prevent fire. For the most vulnerable to damage and the most expensive wheels, it must be strictly protected with shields or thick felt in non-combat states.
As for low-level officers like Fu Ge and others, it would be quite good to ride a naked horse.
Of course, there are exceptions.
Like the commander of Qin State Zhang Han, when the fierce battle was in full swing, he liked to ride a war horse and rush to kill himself.
"Banditman, aim at that chariot and shoot!" At this moment, Fu Ge's voice was dull due to excitement. In the face of huge temptation, no one could resist it, unless this person no longer pursues life, and Fu Ge's life had just begun.
The sharp arrows like locust shot out quickly at the moment when Fu Ge made a sound. One wave ended and another wave, without interruption, the rebels rushing in front were obviously not prepared to encounter ambush here, and they all screamed and fell down.
"Protect the lord--!" The shout just now rang again.
Immediately, the rebels around the chariots stood in front one after another, layer after layer. Their crazy appearance made Fu Ge, the killer, amazed. Originally, Fu Ge thought that only in the Qin army would there be such a brave and unafraid of death.
"kill!"
He couldn't hesitate anymore. Just relying on crossbow arrows could not kill Chen Sheng's life. Fu Ge quickly grew up and raised his spear and rushed towards the rebels.
"Qin Dog, with me, Lu Chen, here, you can't rush over!"
