The art of war says.
Attack the heart.
Ying Lin caught the fake Liu Bang.
However, the fake Liu Bang could also be of great use.
Thirty thousand rebel soldiers would be able to cause a lot of casualties to the Qin army.
After Ying Lin's series of actions, the rebel army was defeated before they even fought and was already beginning to disperse.
Li Shang killed several people in succession.
He tried his best to salvage the situation.
But this was destined to be a futile struggle.
This army no longer had any fighting strength.
However, Ying Lin was a little depressed. The effect of persuading them to surrender on the spot was almost non-existent. Perhaps it was because the laws of Qin were strict, and rebellion was the most serious crime. The soldiers did not believe that surrendering could save their lives.
"Forget it!"
"Begin the attack!"
Ying Lin and Yi Xiong took the lead.
He was the first to charge into the enemy.
The fat ball rammed through the front row of troops.
It charged towards Li Shang and killed him with a single paw.
This time.
There were few left to resist.
An army of 30,000 soldiers was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The battle lasted less than half a day.
Almost half of them were destroyed.
The other half were either captured or forced to surrender.
Most of the others had already fled, including Xiao He, Li Shiqi, and other high-level members.
He had no choice.
They were not military officers.
They were protected behind the troops.
If the situation was not good, they immediately retreated on horseback.
Ying Lin didn't recognize them either. It was difficult to accurately identify them in a chaotic army. In ancient wars, unless it was a siege battle, it was impossible for them to be completely wiped out.
Ying Lin led the White Horse Righteous Followers.
He chased after the fleeing soldiers.
In the end, they took the opportunity to recapture Wu Pass.
The most important goal of this battle had been achieved!
Ying Lin personally led the army to drive Liu Bang's army out of Wu Pass.
Now, not only had the rebel army been driven out of Wu Pass, but most of the troops that Liu Bang had led had also been wiped out.
It was not difficult to foresee this disastrous defeat.
Liu Bang would no longer be a threat for a long time.
Ying Lin only needed to focus on dealing with Xiangyu!
He ascended the tower of Wuguan.
He looked down at the mountains.
Looking out at the flat ancient road of carriages and horses.
He heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.
The Wu Pass was even more lofty and steep than the Chi Pass.
Since ancient times, this pass had been the main road to Qin from the southeast.
In terms of strategic value, it was second only to Hangu Pass in the east.
There were hundreds of miles of ancient roads from Wu Pass to Shen Pass. On both sides were the Qinling Mountains. There were no cities along the way. There were many ferocious beasts and bandits. Some places were rugged and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Take back Wu Pass.
The Great Qin Empire was in the southeast.
At the very least, they had gained a strategic depth of several hundred li.
Next, they only needed to defend Hangu Pass to the east of Xianyang.
Even if they could not immediately seize the land of the six countries in Shandong.
But at least they wouldn't lose two places!
At the very least, the hundreds of years of Qin country's ancestral business was safe enough!
For Great Qin, which was on the verge of being destroyed, this was a massive victory!
Ying Lin ordered the rear troops to enter Wu Pass.
Five thousand soldiers were stationed at Wu Pass and Shen Pass.
He brought the cavalry out of seclusion.
Between Wuguan and Yuguan.
There were hundreds of ancient roads without cities.
There were two cities on the left and right sides of the exit of Wu Pass.
They were Danshui County and Qi County. Taking down these two cities could form a corner with Wu Pass, further strengthening and consolidating the strategic defense in the southeast.
Liu Bang deployed some troops in the two counties.
In total, it was only about 3,000.
Liu Bang was defeated. This amount of troops was not enough.
Ying Lin and Bai Ma Yi had just arrived when they saw the city gate open.
Qi Sai led the soldiers of two counties.
He took the initiative to leave the city and ask for surrender.
Ying Lin ordered the rebel general Qi Sai and his soldiers to be restrained before personally entering Danshui County. Thousands of old, weak, women, and children knelt on the ground, all trembling in fear.
The commoners were very afraid.
After all, when Liu Bang arrived.
They didn't even resist before opening the door and surrendering.
According to the strict Qin law, if they really wanted to pursue the matter, the entire city would not be able to escape punishment.
Seeing this.
Ying Lin flipped over and got off the bear.
He went forward to help an old man.
"Everyone, please rise!”
Ying Lin said to the commoners," Great Qin failed to protect its people, causing rebel soldiers to rise everywhere. The commoners who live and work in peace and contentment are disturbed. This is my fault. This is the crime of the court, not the crime of the commoners!”
Of course, Ying Lin would not pursue the crime of the commoners defecting to the enemy.
He took 5,000 dans of food from the system and had people set up relief points in the two counties to provide food to the hungry people every day. Although Liu Bang's army did not kill or plunder, it was inevitable to collect military rations.
In the years of war.
Agricultural production was very unstable.
Famine spread everywhere.
This move could quickly gather the hungry.
It could also buy people's hearts and build a reputation.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty's benevolence!"
The people were surprised and grateful.
No one had expected that the iron-blooded Great Qin's new Emperor.
He was actually a benevolent and benevolent ruler.
Not only did he forgive the people for defecting to the enemy, but he also comforted and provided relief to the victims. The new Emperor was indeed the son of Young Master Fusu. Not only did he have the heroic tyranny of the First Emperor, but he also had the benevolence and filial piety of Young Master Fusu.
It was a pity.
If only this emperor could ascend to the throne earlier.
There wouldn't be so many peasants in the world who would revolt.
After Ying Lin dealt with the problem of the commoners, he had to deal with the problem of the surrendered soldiers. The soldiers were completely different from the commoners, so they had to be dealt with differently.
Especially this Marquis of Gaowu, Qi Sai.
Ying Lin ordered the Dragon Guards to capture all of Qi Sai's family and relatives.
After a while.
Qi Sai led a few hundred people.
All of them knelt in front of Ying Lin.
They were facing the Emperor's undisguised pressure.
All of them were so scared that their faces turned pale. Some even lost control of their pants or fainted on the spot.
Although Qi Sai had taken the initiative to surrender with the guards of the two counties, this was obviously a forced action. It could not even be considered surrendering.
The Qi family is not from Qin.
Although they were from an aristocratic family outside the pass.
But Qi Sai was a Qin general.
When Qi Sai faced the attack of the rebel army.
Not only did he not resist, he even funded the rebel army.
In addition, they had also participated in the battle to attack Shen Pass. According to the laws of Qin, the three clans would definitely be wiped out, so no one present would be able to survive!
Ying Lin's gaze was ice-cold as he spoke slowly,"
"I saw you persuade the guards to surrender."
"Zhen will give you fifteen minutes.”
"You can think of a reason for me not to kill you.”
"Of course, if Your Majesty is not satisfied with the reason, then you will act according to Great Qin's laws!”
Ying Lin's every word was filled with majesty. It was like a sharp knife stabbing into the hearts of everyone present.
The Qi family found it hard to believe.
A young emperor who was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
He could actually emit such a terrifying aura.
Under such circumstances, his mind was completely blank, leaving only fear. Even thinking was a problem. How could he convince the Emperor not to kill him?!
