Rebirth of the First Emperor

,

spn "Sir, what's wrong, the Huxiang army is approaching the city and is calling for formation outside the city!"

Early in the morning, before the Sheriff of Lanchuan County could even open his eyes, a small school boy ran in and shouted loudly, waking up the Sheriff who was still sleeping.

"What?"

The county guard was a little unwilling to believe his ears, and couldn't help but said angrily: "The Huxiang Army is attacking Yiguang County at this time, why are there any plans for troops to come to the city!"

"Sir, everything I said is true. Five thousand Huxiang troops have formed outside the city and are about to attack the city. General Zhang has already climbed the city wall, but it seems that the Hunan army is not in a hurry to attack the city at the moment!"[

The principal continued, and the governor suddenly fell asleep. He quickly got up from the bed, threw on some clothes and hurried to the city gate.

The county guard was still quite surprised along the way. You must know that Ying Zheng's 4,200 rear troops had just been transferred to the front line to participate in the attack on Yiguang County last night, but why did they come to the city overnight?

There are at least three cities separated from Xinning County to Lanchuan City (the county seat of Lanchuan County). How did Sergeant Huxiang come here? Have all three cities fallen?

The governor thought to himself that it was impossible. Unless there was a traitor, it would be impossible for the Huxiang army to attack the city in such a short period of time.

"The city is strict and honest, and I am a responsible official!"

Lord Yan Lian, the governor of Lanchuan County, had just stood on the city tower when a knight from the black-armored army below the city ran out and shouted to Yan Lian on the city tower, which shocked Yan Lian a little.

"Sir Ying is so leisurely. Yesterday he was fighting against the rebels in Yiguang County, but today he came to my Lanchuan County. It's really surprising!"

Yan Lian said calmly that Yan Lian had already heard the news through the grapevine that Ying Zheng was appointed as the envoy of the imperial court, and now the Huxiang army was approaching the city. Although the number was only 6,000, Yan Lian could I still don’t dare to underestimate him, so I don’t speak in such a domineering manner.

"I am recruiting you under the emperor's order. I am doing my job with loyalty and loyalty. I hope you will forgive me, Lord Yan!"

Ying Zheng replied calmly, but Yan Lian on the tower got angry on the spot. What was Ying Zheng talking about? Of course Yan Lian knew it.

"I was elected as an official by my father and fellow villagers. The official document is currently on its way to the court. The war is urgent at the moment. It is normal for it to take a while because the road is blocked. Furthermore, we are surrounded by powerful enemies, so we have to obey the authority in an emergency. , I believe the court will also forgive me!"

Yan Lian spoke up, with a hint of anger and a hint of sophistry in his voice. No one of these aristocratic families would have thought that the big ones would join counties across states, and the small ones would merge counties and villages, and completely separate their territories. At this time, Ying Zheng would actually be used as an attack interface.

Yan Lian knew that this excuse must not be caught by Ying Zheng. Once caught, it would be difficult to explain, and it would also give Ying Zheng one more excuse to attack.

"Humph, the imperial court has called on the heroes of the world to raise an army to the Qin King of Zhongzhou, but what are you guys doing? You are all so proud of your position in Bazhou and Zhanjun!"

Ying Zheng pointed at Yan Lian and cursed unceremoniously.

Then, without waiting for Yan Lian to reply, he continued to shout loudly: "Yan Lian, I am telling you the truth, no matter whether there is a famous army or not today, Lanchuan County will definitely be destroyed, just like those counties in Taihe County!"

After speaking domineeringly, Ying Zheng rushed back to the battle. Yan Lian wanted to say something else, but he didn't say it because the Huxiang army had already begun to attack the city.

At this point, it was useless for Yan Lian to say anything. A brief contact gave Yan Lian a deep understanding of Ying Zheng. He was an unreasonable and arrogant person.

But no matter what Yan Lian thought of Ying Zheng, the Huxiang Army had already started shouting and running forward, launching an attack on Lanchuan City.[

The five thousand Heijiahu Hunan Army was pressing towards the city wall in a black mass. Yan Lian only took one look and immediately felt the pressure increase greatly.

Although Ying Zheng was arrogant, he was also arrogant. Yan Lian of the five thousand black-armored Hunan Army only took one look and felt suffocated.

Yan Lian had occupied Lanchuan County for less than two months. He did not rely on strong force to capture Lanchuan County, but relied on the Yan family's prestige in Lanchuan County.

The guards of Lanchuan City were composed of former tenants of the Yan family. Although this army was loyal to Yan Lian, its combat effectiveness was not self-contained. It was difficult to deal with Ying Zheng's elite Hunan Army.

The ladder was leaning against the city wall, and the defenders hurriedly pushed the ladder away.

Since Yan Lian simply thought that Ying Zheng's large-scale attack on Yiguang County was an illusory shot, he was seriously underprepared to defend the city.

The Huxiang army attacked the city with little effort, and the two armies fought directly.

As the capital of a county, Lanchuan City has five thousand troops stationed there. In addition, relying on the advantage of the city wall, the resistance will be about the same for half an hour.

It's a pity that the army and generals in Lanchuan City are irregular and they don't even have the most basic combat experience. Yan Lian only chooses them based on one factor, which is loyalty to the Yan family.

Therefore, the Huxiang Army easily attacked the city wall under such circumstances.

"Hold on, hold on for me, I usually feed you so much food, but it's all wasted!"

Yan Lian looked at the Lanchuan garrison, which had been in decline since the beginning of the war, and shouted furiously.

The Lanchuan defenders rushed through the city in a steady stream, but the Huxiang Army who climbed onto the top of the city wall was always nailed to the city wall like a nail, while the Huxiang Army who climbed onto the city wall behind them came one after another. Entering the battlefield of fighting.

The morale of the Huxiang army who climbed onto the city wall increased to a higher level, and the shouts of killing were loud. The defense line of the Lanchuan defenders on the city wall became more and more unorganized, and finally collapsed.

"The matter in Lanchuan County is over, and the matter in Yiguang County should also come to an end. There are eleven counties in Luzhou, and the Huxiang Army has captured three counties. I don't know what to do next!"

Qi Wenyuan followed Ying Zheng again, clinging to him like a shadow. Did Ying Zheng know that this kid was secretly learning from him? However, Ying Zheng did not point this out.

"The Celestial Master Sect has lost its power in Luzhou. Of the eleven counties in Luzhou, the Celestial Master Sect still occupies three counties, but these three counties are not together. Therefore, it is easy to destroy Ye Jianquan!"

Ying Zheng said that at this time, the situation in the city had been completely controlled, and the gate of Lanchuan City opened with a roar.

"But what if Ye Jianquan abandons the other two counties and goes all out to protect himself!"

Qi Wenyuan asked a question in a leisurely manner. What he meant was that Ye Jianquan was likely to abandon the remaining two counties and concentrate his effective troops in the state capital, waiting for a showdown with Ying Zheng.

"No matter what Ye Jianquan does, the Tianshi Sect will surely perish. They appeared at the wrong time!"

Ying Zheng Zhizhu said with certainty, [
