A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 118 Restoration
After deciding on the titles, Chen Sheng appointed himself as general and Wu Guang as captain. The first one to attack was Daze Township, and after it was captured, they attacked Qixian County. After Qixian was captured, he sent Ge Ying from Fuli to lead his troops to capture the area east of Qixian.

They attacked Qi, Feng, Kuzhe and Qiao in succession and captured them all. As they marched, they continued to replenish their troops and expand their ranks. By the time they reached Chen County, they had six to seven hundred chariots, more than a thousand cavalry, and tens of thousands of infantry.

Chen County is the old place of the Bai Kingdom, the county seat of Chen County of the Bai Kingdom, and the current county seat of Chen County of the Qin Dynasty. When the rebel army attacked Chen County, the county guards and magistrates there happened to be absent. Only the county magistrate who stayed behind led the troops and fought with the rebel army under the city gate. As a result, the county magistrate was defeated and died, so the rebel army entered the city and occupied Chen County and obtained many weapons.

A few days later, Chen Sheng ordered the three elders in charge of education and local heroes to be summoned for a meeting. Everyone present said: "General, you are wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. You defeated the unjust and ignorant king, destroyed the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, and re-established the Chu State's political power. In terms of merit, you should be crowned the king."

Chen Sheng was very happy. Although Wu Guang and some brothers disagreed and believed that becoming king now would do more harm than good to him. However, Chen Sheng really wanted to improve his status, so he quickly sent an order to the world and established himself as king in Chen County. For Zhang Chu.

At this time, people in various counties and counties who could not stand the tyranny of the officials of the Qin Dynasty responded to Chen Sheng by arresting and condemning their officials and killing them. So Chen Sheng took Wu Guang as the acting king and led the generals to attack Xingyang westward.

He also ordered Wu Chen, Zhang Er, and Chen Yu from Chen County to capture the territory formerly under the jurisdiction of Zhao, and ordered Deng Zong from Ruyin to capture Jiujiang County. At this time, thousands of people in the Chu region gathered to revolt, and there were countless people.

Less than three months after the uprising, there were people in Zhao, Qi, Yan, Han and other places, and even Wei, under the banner of restoring the Six Kingdoms, proclaimed themselves kings.

Bai Qing in the Taihang Mountains got the news and knew that the time had come, so he immediately changed the Baishi Rebel Army in Baishi Village to the Bai Army, gathered everyone, declared his identity as a descendant of the White King, restored his title of the White King, and officially launched an army to fight against Qin.

Soon, the 50,000-strong White Army, which had some training, captured six counties in the Taihang Mountains at lightning speed. At this time, except for the Eight Passes, Taihang had basically been captured by the White Army.

By the time the White Army reached Yongguan, one of the two passes in Hanoi County, the White Army already numbered 70,000 people. Due to armament restrictions, only 30,000 of the 70,000 people have complete weapons, and only 20,000 of them have various armors and stomachs. Therefore, only 20,000 people have combat effectiveness.

Hanoi County has two thousand defenders at Yongguan, but due to the terrain and the equipment of the White Army, it will take the White Army at least three months to defeat it. But Bai Qing thinks three months is more than enough.

Because he received the news, Chen Sheng had sent the rebel army led by Zhou Zhang to attack westward, and soon entered Guanzhong (referring to the area west of Hangu Pass), reached Sanchuan County, and approached Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

Bai Qing expected that Emperor Qin would deal with Chen Sheng's army first, and then himself. However, by the time they finished dealing with Chen Sheng, he would have already captured Hanoi County, took out the military equipment from the county and city, and withdrew into the Taihang Mountains.

Yes, his purpose at this time was to seize the arsenal of Hanoi County and City.

At this time, the Qin court was very panicked, because Zhou Zhang's rebel army numbered hundreds of thousands and had already marched westward to play in the water.

Qin II asked the ministers for advice, but everyone was helpless because at this time the famous generals of the Qin Dynasty either died in the political struggle or were not in the Southern Army and the Great Wall Army.

At this time, Shaofu Zhang Han came out and said: "The thieves have arrived. They are strong in numbers. It is too late to mobilize the troops from nearby counties. There are many prisoners in Lishan. Please ask the emperor to pardon them and open the treasury." Give them weapons to fight the thieves."

Qin II agreed and asked: "Then who can lead the troops in the battle?"

Zhang Han said: "I am willing to go!"

Qin II was a little suspicious, but there was really no one available at this time, so Qin II ordered a general amnesty for the world, conditionally released the Lishan prisoners, and appointed Zhang Han as the chief general to wipe out the Shandong rebels, leading the released Lishan prisoner army.

Zhang Han quickly took control of this army of prisoners. The total number was about 700,000. These prisoners included common people from the six countries, nobles from the six countries, and Qin people who were convicted by Hu Hai. They could almost be among them. Find someone anywhere in the world.

Zhang Han used Xianyang's Central Forbidden Army as the backbone and prisoners as the base, and quickly started training at the foot of Lishan Mountain. After training for a month, the rebel army was about to reach Hangu Pass, so Zhang Han had no choice but to lead his troops and set off.

Soon the Qin army left Hangu Pass, and at this time the rebel army already numbered millions.

Zhang Han did not panic at all, and strictly issued military orders, and the 700,000 prisoner army slowly pushed towards the rebel army.

Soon, the two armies fought. Although the rebels were large in number, their momentum and combat experience were indeed not as strong as those of the Qin army who were prisoners. The equipment is also slightly inferior to that of the Qin army. The general's command was not as sophisticated as that of the Qin army.

Soon, the rebel army collapsed and the Qin army won the first battle. Both sides suffered nearly 100,000 casualties in this battle.

The rebel army was defeated and retreated to play in the water, preparing to fight the Qin army in World War II.

The Battle of Yongguan on the other side has not been won for three months. According to Bai Qing's calculation, anti-Qin arrogance in the world is very boiling at this time. When he attacks Yongguan, Hanoi County should also be in chaos. , Yongguan should be in an isolated and helpless situation.

But what Bai Qing did not expect was that the Hanoi uprising the year before last had almost exhausted the anti-Qin forces in Hanoi, and the influence of the Bai clan and the Shadow Guards had also dropped to a historical low.

Therefore, although almost every county in the world had uprisings and righteousness, only Hanoi County was very relieved, as if they were in another time and space, without any movement. Therefore, the Hanoi County Governor easily sent 3,000 people to help Yongguan Defense. In other words, the current Yongguan garrison is not 2,000, but 5,000. Since the intelligence system of Hanoi County was seriously damaged, Bai Qing still didn't know that Yongguan had received reinforcements, thinking that the defenders still only had 2,000 people.

Bai Qing believed that the defenders could not hold on for long, so he continued to order a fierce attack.

It took another two months, but Yongguan still stood still. Bai Qing finally believed that Yongguan had received reinforcements, so he reluctantly withdrew his troops. Prepare to leave the customs from Baiguan in Handan County.

At this time, the Bai army still had 60,000 people, 10,000 of which were lost at Yongguan. The losses of the soldiers and armor were even greater, with 10,000 weapons and 10,000 armor's stomachs damaged.

This time it was Bai Qing's strategic mistake. Someone asked why there was no reminder from the Sun family, the strategic master, because Sun Yin has been doubting his own level since the defeat in Hanoi County.

Finally, he figured it out. He believed that there was no problem with his ancestral military manual, but the army was the problem. Therefore, he set a requirement for himself. In order not to lose his martial name, he would never serve in the regular army unless he was in the regular army.

So this time Bai Qing invited him to join him in the incident, but he refused. Bai Qing is good at civil affairs, and his military strategy is limited to the point of not losing the battle, which is very far behind the famous generals.

The attack on Baiguan went very smoothly and was defeated within a month. Because the situation in Handan County was in chaos, the defender of Baiguan also knew that the situation was over and ran away quickly. As for why he still resisted for a month, it was because he had surrendered What a gift!

Someone gave him a large amount of treasure and told him not to surrender immediately. He only had to hold on for a month before retreating. After that, he would be rewarded heavily.

At this time, there were general Wu Chen from the Zhang Chu uprising army, Mao Mu from the local uprising army, and soldiers from the Qin State in Handan County.

Wu Chen led hundreds of thousands of rebels to attack Handan, the county town, day and night. Mao Mu led tens of thousands of rebels to occupy Xindu, Bairen, and Haxian in the north.

When Bai Qing led people out of the customs, Wu Chen happened to attack Handan and seize a large amount of armaments. Bai Qing finally knew who was stumbling on him. He had no choice but to lead everyone to capture Wu'an and get some supplements.

Bai Qing planned to continue his attack on Hanoi County to the south, because Hanoi County was the old territory of the Bai Kingdom and would be relatively easy to capture and govern. However, Anyang, the only way to go south, was occupied by military officials.

Bai Qing had no choice but to send an envoy to Wu Chen to ask for help.

The envoy saw the military minister and said: "The general and my king are both anti-Qin allies. Now the old people of the Bai Kingdom in Hanoi County are still suffering at the hands of the Qin Dynasty's violent officials. They are in urgent need of my king's help. I hope the general will let go of Anyang and allow him to be free." Our army passes, and when the time comes we can give Wu'an to the general as a token of our gratitude."

The military minister was hesitant. Chen Yu next to him said: "General, no, the White Army is weak now because it has no territory. If we let them go, it will be like letting the hidden dragon ascend to the sky. They will be our army's formidable enemy in the future!"

Zhang Er said: "The Bai Kingdom is a country with a good reputation all over the world, and the Bai family has always claimed to be the common people of the world, so they occupy a very important position in the hearts of the people in the world. Even the king is very fond of the Bai Kingdom.

If we reject the White Army, it will be equivalent to telling the world that we and the White Army will not deal with each other. Not only will the king punish us, but even the people of the world will have opinions about us. It is better to have a good friend than an additional enemy! "

Wu Chen thought for a moment, thinking about the rumors about the Bai family in the world, agreed with Zhang Er's words, and told the Bai envoy to agree to their request.

Soon, Bai Qing, who was resting in Wu'an, received a reply from the military minister and ordered his troops to go south and march towards Hanoi County.

After recruiting troops in Wu'an, the White Army has returned to 70,000 people, of which 30,000 are armed and 20,000 are armored.

The 70,000 White Army soon crossed Anyang and entered Hanoi County, and Wu'an County was also handed over to Wu Chen. At this time, Wu Chen had controlled most of Handan, with only Mao Mu occupying the northern half.

After entering Hanoi County, the Bai army attacked the city as fast as God could help. When the soldiers and civilians in the city heard that the Bai family had returned, they opened the city gates to welcome her. The county magistrates and county lieutenants who disagreed were arrested by the people.

The Bai army passed through Puyin, Chaoge and Xiuwu all the way to Huai County, the prefecture. At this time, the White Army already numbered 100,000 people, including 50,000 soldiers and armor. The most elite among them is the Bai family army, with five thousand.

All the White Guards have been dispersed to serve as officers in the White Army, leaving only a hundred people as Bai Qing's escort.

In just five days, Huai County was captured by the White Army. The county guard and county lieutenant were captured. Almost all other counties and villages in Hanoi County were informed. After opening the county treasury, the White Army's 100,000-strong army finally became regular troops with armor.

Bai Qing maintained the establishment of 100,000 troops, and placed 2,000 defenders in Yongguan, Yewangguan, and Baiguan, and 20,000 defenders in the Taihang Mountains to maintain order in the mountains. Therefore, there were only 70,000 White troops left in Hanoi County.
