At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 56, Food Crisis

Xu Fan was baffled by this, and the enemy suddenly started fighting on his own. But this was a good thing for the rebels. Xu Fan was happy to see that the rebel cavalry army divided into three huge torrents, with morale like a rainbow, and attacked the Qin army. With the help of the civilians, Jiang Qi, the leader of the Qin army's five hundred He was stabbed to death by Xu Fan, and the 500 Qin troops escorting grain and grass were annihilated by the rebels without even making a splash.

After the war, a group of civilians came to Xu Fan and said, "General, we have taken refuge with you, please take us in."

Xu Fan looked at the leading civilian husband and said with a smile: "What is the name of a strong man?"

The citizen husband clasped his fists and said: "The villain Lu Chen was captured by the Qin officials to be a citizen husband. I'll just let them treat me like a cow or a horse. But I didn't expect that this traitor actually wanted to pass the blame for the missed period on me and other common people." , since he wants me to wait for death, then we will take their lives first."

When Xu Fan heard these words, he said happily: "A strong man is really a man!"

Xu Fan was not surprised that Qin Jun would do such a thing. This thing was too common. Hiring temporary workers was just to take the blame. (Recently checking the information, I found that many people said that Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others would not be executed if they missed the deadline. It was Chen Sheng who deceived the garrison soldiers. This is simply a joke. Of course, it is impossible to kill all 900 people if they missed the deadline, but in the military camp, violating military orders Killing a few people to scare the monkeys is almost certain to be done. Do you think it was the two generals who were killed, or Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and the other temporary camp commanders?)
  "If it hadn't been for you this time, our army's casualties wouldn't have been so small. From now on, you will be a member of my rebel army."

"Lu Chen pays homage to the general!" He immediately led the civilians to salute Xu Fan, officially joining the rebel army.

Then they cleaned the battlefield together, pushed the baggage cart, and escorted the Qin army prisoners away from here.

Under the county seat, the Qin army camped.

Bai Meng frowned as he looked at the dilapidated Xi County. Since the siege, except for the army's rest on the first day, they had been attacking for three consecutive days.

In order to solve this hidden danger as soon as possible, Bai Meng attacked very fiercely, even at any cost. So far, the casualties of the Qin army have exceeded 1300, of which more than half of the prisoners have been killed, and the old Qin people have also suffered casualties of 300. It is a pity that Even though he attacked so fiercely, Xixian County still stood firm. There was a winter rain yesterday, and he had to suspend the attack.

"The food transport team from Chen County hasn't arrived yet?" Bai Meng asked Lu Lingdao, who joined the army. The food crisis rebels were quietly approaching the army. Bai Meng's army had less than 10 days of food and grass. When he found that it would be difficult to break through Xi'an County in a short time , a little worried about the food issue.

The Qin army didn't bring much food and grass, but Bai Meng didn't care at first. After all, they were fighting on the inside, and carrying too much food and grass would affect the marching speed. But he never expected that the rebels would collect food and grass along the way. It was so clean that even the common people ran away with the rebels. Now that he had finally caught up with the main force of the rebels, he did not expect that it would be so difficult to conquer the Qi County occupied by the rebels. Bai Meng had to prepare for a protracted war. 's ready.

Lu Ling, who joined the army, reported back: "Today is the deadline for the food and grass to arrive, but it rained yesterday, so the team transporting food must arrive at our camp late."

When Bai Meng heard this, he said angrily: "Military rations are related to the survival of our army. How dare they miss the deadline? When they come, they will be dealt with according to military regulations."

Lu Ling, who joined the army, smiled bitterly and said: "No!"

Then Bai Meng looked at Xi County and said angrily: "These rebels are all cowards, they only know how to defend the city."

Bai Meng was both angry and helpless. The city walls of Xi'an County were full of rebels, and the number of defenders was several times greater than the number of people he attacked. So much so that the number of defenders on the city walls did not decrease much from morning to night. How can he not be angry.

Siege warfare is the most difficult to fight, not to mention that the number of rebels is still several times theirs. It will take a lot of time to eliminate these rebels, but what he lacks most is time. Every time this rebel army The longer he lives, the more dangerous his and the Sheriff's lives will be. The next day, the baggage team transporting grain and grass had not arrived yet, and Bai Meng felt a little uneasy.

"General, something bad is going to happen!" a voice suddenly shouted from the army.

"The soldiers of the baggage train broke up and reported that 60 miles away from Xi County, our army's baggage train was attacked by rebels. 500 soldiers died in the battle, and all the food and grass were taken away by the enemy."

Bai Meng's expression changed drastically. Now let alone annihilating the rebels, even his army was in danger. He was in big trouble.

The words were divided into two parts, and Zhou Zhang stood on the upper floor of the county town wearing iron armor.

Zhou Zhang and others did not expect the violent offensive of the Qin army. The rebels only resisted for 2 days and suffered more than 3000 casualties (including civilian husbands).

This was the first time that the rebels had encountered such a brutal offensive and defensive battle. The soldiers and prisoners of the Qin army seemed to be desperate for their lives and attacked crazily. Regardless of the cost, they put dozens of ladders on the wall of Xixian City, and then organized a Even though they were repelled by the rebel soldiers time and time again, these Qin troops attacked tirelessly in turn and tried every means to climb the city wall.

The rebel soldiers did not care about life and death, and drove the Qin soldiers off the city wall again and again. The rebels, whose combat effectiveness was not as good as the Qin army, could only rely on fighting for their lives to even out the gap in combat power between the two sides. The two sides fought extremely fiercely, both on the city wall and under the city wall. They were the corpses of soldiers from both sides, and the entire battlefield was covered in blood.

It was the rebel soldiers who exchanged 2-3 lives for one Qin soldier's battle loss ratio that allowed them to defend Qixian County. This time the rebel soldiers finally saw the strength to annihilate the Qin army of the Six Kingdoms.

Now the top leaders of the rebel army are very anxious, eagerly hoping that Xu Fan can bring good news. What makes the top brass of the rebels feel lucky is that there was a winter rain yesterday, which gave the rebels a chance to breathe.

Zhou Zhang walked on the city wall and kept chatting with the rebel soldiers to boost their morale.

Although the battle had not started yet, the city wall was extremely busy. The soldiers found a good place to rest, and the people who followed the rebel army were extremely busy up and down the city wall. These people were assisting the rebel soldiers. They were divided into several teams, taking advantage of the opportunity. During the break between battles, the battlefield was broken up and the wounded were transported. Some people collected weapons on the city wall and gathered together the long arrows scattered everywhere. The current rebel army is particularly short of long arrows. Three days of fierce battles have caused the rebel soldiers to shoot out all the long arrows in their hands.

Now these civilians collected the long arrows on the city wall and took them back to the craftsman camp for polishing, so that they could become sharp weapons in the hands of the rebels again.

More people carried stones and logs to the city wall. On the city wall, cheap stones and logs were the main defensive weapons for the rebels.

　Continue to view historical materialism.

　　I read the food standards for prisoners on the Qin slips. Prisoners with heavy physical strength were given half a fight in the morning and one third in the evening. Eight liters of food a day. One year is 8 liters. According to the Qin system, 2920 liters per dou and 10 dou per stone. A heavy prisoner will eat nearly 10 shi of grain in a year (it may be deducted, but the Qin Dynasty has to pay for this grain) , the 30 million prisoners of the Qin Dynasty had to eat 300 to 9000 million shi of food. The rations for the prisoners alone were of this scale. The fiscal revenue of the Qin Dynasty reaching 1 million shi should not be an exaggeration. What is the so-called richest? The Song Dynasty is almost like a younger brother in front of my Da Qin.
