General Qin

"My father was killed by the Huns when he followed General Li Mu to defend the Huns. Today my son died at the hands of the Qin people. I have no intention of living. When the Qin army attacks the city, I will fight them to the death. If I can Killing one or two can be regarded as revenge for my son."

A white-haired old man leaned against the city wall, muttering.

When he said this, there was a low cry on the wall.

"The Qin people killed my son. Although I am an old woman, I should not avoid life and death, and fight these Qin people to the death."

On the side, an old woman with a face full of resentment spoke. Although she was small in stature, the hatred in her eyes was not weaker than that of the old man.

The people around echoed one after another, saying desperately with the Qin people.

These old and weak women and children who are willing to go up to the city wall to defend, whether they are fathers, husbands, or sons, after all, someone in the family died at the hands of the Qin army. A deep hatred has been planted. They would rather die than avenge their families.

At this moment, someone pointed to the outside of the city and shouted: "There are figures moving there. Could it be that the Qin army is going to attack the city at night? Do we want to warn the police?"

Immediately there were shouts one after another on the city wall, everyone was nervous and looked outside the wall.

A few soldiers on duty at night pushed aside the women and children, ran to the wall and looked into the distance.

"Don't worry, our army has few soldiers, and we need to preserve our strength in battle to prepare for a fight. Don't be alarmed easily. Let us first observe what the Qin people did and see what their purpose is?"

The military officer in charge of the night watch was quite prudent and temporarily blocked the warning order.

Under the moonlight, he saw those figures coming from the direction of the Qin army's camp. They were not carrying ladders for siege, nor were they pushing well-built siege equipment. Judging from their appearance, they did not seem to be attacking the city.

After all, Daicheng is towering and dangerous, and the Qin army did not bring ladders to attack the city. Is this going to climb the city wall with bare hands?

This is also the reason why the military officials temporarily stopped everyone's actions.

Under the watchful eyes of the Chengtou generation.

About one or two thousand people came out of the Qin army's camp, divided into several groups, and in the middle of each group were people holding strange objects and not wearing armor.

On both sides, soldiers with swords escorted and watched, and began to walk around Daicheng.

"Ahem... I'm an asshole, I'm not dead, can you hear me, Mom?"

With the sound of a Daikou sound, it floated in the wind towards the head of Daicheng, completely pulling away the Qin army's offensive tonight.

"My wife, Xiaokui, is here. I'm your husband's black arm, you may have heard!"

"I'm Ah Zhu, did my father hear that? The Qin army didn't kill us. The Qin people said that as long as everyone doesn't resist, they will spare our lives and save everyone's lives..."

"Those who surrender will not be killed! Keep your life and property!"

Under the action of the special copper horn, the voices of the captives of nearly a thousand generations floated to the head of the city, to the city, and to the ears of countless generations.

"Ah, you're a dog, you didn't die, why didn't you fight Qin people desperately, instead you want to be Qin people's dog! Naigong doesn't have you as a son!"

There was an old man with his beard and hair all stretched out on the top of the city wall, yelling angrily.

But more is the cry of surprise.

A woman wept with joy: "Heibi, I am your wife Xiaokui, can you hear me?"

The old woman who was full of mouths about "fighting to the death with the Qin people" just leaned against the parapet, and shouted excitedly: "Dad, I am Ermu! Erdan, you are not dead, my son! Ah Mu thinks you!"

There are more people calling the names of relatives outside the city.

"Xiao Niu, is Er alive?"

"Stone, speak up!"

...

At this moment, the generation on the top of the city, no matter whether they heard the shouts of their relatives from the noisy voices or not.

They all know a fact.

The Qin army did not kill the prisoners!

Their loved ones are not dead!

And as long as they surrender, they don't need to die, and they can be reunited as a family.

There are tens of thousands of residents in the city, and tens of thousands of them have the heart to fight the Qin people to the death because their children died at the hands of the Qin people. It can be said that the whole city is full of people's will, and with such momentum and fighting spirit, coupled with Daicheng's dangerous terrain and towering city walls, it will definitely cause great damage to the attacking Qin army.

But now, in the calls full of local accents, the hearts of the people in Daicheng are scattered.

"Beat the golden drum! Cover its sound!"

The military officials in charge of guarding the city wall yelled and ordered the soldiers to beat the golden drums to counter the calls from outside the city and at the same time warn them, so that the soldiers in charge of guarding the city stood up and stood on the top of the city to guard against the Qin army's attack.

"Qin Jun asked the captives to shout outside the city, and their voices could reach the city. This is Zhao Tuo's tactic."

Prime Minister Zhao Jing, Zhao Xie and others walked up to the top of the city, and when they saw the uncertain expressions on the faces of the women and children who were helping to defend the city, they knew that something was wrong.

And not only the old and the weak, women and children, even the three thousand guards' eyes were a little erratic after knowing what happened just now.

Not everyone is not afraid of death. The reason why they wanted to fight the Qin people before was because of the generational hatred between Zhao and Qin, and secondly, because they were afraid that after surrendering, the Qin army would behead them in exchange for military merit.

The shadow of the Battle of Changping has been lingering in the hearts of these Zhao people, and this is why the people are united and desperately resisting.

But now with the appearance of captives, the voice of the Qin people "do not kill those who surrendered" reached their ears.

Three thousand people suffered strokes, and at least some of them felt cowardly.

Especially the men in Daijo, who have families and mouths. Their previous high-spirited fighting spirit was to protect their families, but now their timidity is not to hurt their families.

"Xie, what should we do now?"

Zhao Jing panicked and looked at Zhao Xie beside him, this is the leader of the young people of the Zhao family in Dai City.

"We were few in number, and the Qin army used this trick to break the morale of our army. Now all we can do is die. As for the old and the weak, since their hearts have been broken, staying at the top of the city is nothing but their own Disrupting the formation of our army will only hurt their lives. Let those who do not want to defend the city go down."

Zhao Xie's words were full of helplessness.

At this time, after tossing around in the middle of the night, it was already dawn.

The sky in late summer and early autumn is always bright very early, and there is a twilight in the sky.

Under Zhao Xie's order, on the top of the city, most of the old and weak women and children who shouted to help the defenders during the day really wanted to go down to the city.

"Lao Yang, didn't you say you want to fight to the death with the Qin army? Why did you go down!"

An old man scolded another old man.

The old man muttered: "I heard my son's voice, my son is not dead, and I don't want to fight the Qin people."

"Old Zhuzi, you are just trying to survive, but you still have the blood of my Zhao people. If you don't beat the Qin people, I will kill you first."

The old man was furious and rushed forward to beat the old sheep.

The enemy is coming, and the family will attack first.

Scenes like this happened from time to time, plus some people went to the city and some people went down, the entire Daicheng city wall suddenly became a mess.

At this moment, there was a sudden beating of drums in the Qin army camp outside Daicheng.

At the moment of chaos in Daicheng, Qin Jun seized the opportunity.

Countless black armored soldiers who had rested came out of the camp. They lined up, carrying the bamboo and wooden ladders built overnight by the auxiliary soldiers in the army, and launched an attack towards Daicheng.

"The hearts of the people in Daicheng have been scattered, and now the city walls are in chaos. Our army is taking advantage of the situation to attack, and we will attack the unprepared with preparedness. We will attack the chaotic city with the pawns of order. This time we attack the city, we will definitely lose in one battle. "

"In my view, in every battle, the general must first weaken the enemy, gather the advantages in his hands and then launch an attack. Is this the secret of the general's victory in every battle?"

In the Qin Army's stronghold, Li Shiqi looked at the Daicheng offensive and defensive battle that had been fought in the distance, and couldn't help applauding.

Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "What you said is true, no matter what the enemy's situation is, don't underestimate the enemy. We must try our best to gather all the advantages in our hands, and at the same time find ways to reduce the enemy's advantages. Let our army be stronger and the enemy's army weaker, so It's what military strategists call 'using the strong to bully the weak', so why worry about the strong attacking the weak."

While the two were talking, the city wall of Daicheng in the distance was in chaos and lacked defenses, so the Qin army took advantage of the situation to climb up the city wall with a charge.

"We, Zhao's disciples, shall fight to the death with the people of Qin! Never back down!"

On the city wall, Zhao Xie yelled in grief and indignation, raised his big axe in his hand, and slashed at a Qin man who was climbing up the city.

"Kill! Fight with the Qin people!"

Behind Zhao Xie, those generation soldiers who were determined to die also brandished weapons and fought with the Qin people who had climbed to the top of the city.

As soon as a Qin pawn took a shot, Zhao Xie slashed his shoulder with an axe. Blood splashed and he fell to the city screaming.

The blood sprayed on Zhao Xie's face, making the young Zhao's son even more excited. He shouted with red eyes, "Kill! Kill the people of Qin!"

As he said that, he raised his weapon again, ready to strike at another Qin pawn who was climbing the city, but suddenly a sword stabbed over from behind him, piercing Zhao Xie's waist in a daze.

Zhao Xie suffered from the pain, and turned back with a big ax to chop on the Qin soldier who was attacking him, killing him on the spot.

At this time, Zhao Xie discovered that the entire city wall had already been rushed up by a large number of Qin troops.

The soldiers of the Dai army either turned their heads and fled under the Qin people's offensive strategy, or were killed by the Qin soldiers who came up from the city.

Looking around, the head of Daicheng city is full of black armor.

At this time, the Qin soldier who was climbing the city, taking advantage of the moment covered by his robes, also jumped up the city wall, and stabbed the back of the Zhao family nobleman in front of him with the sword in his hand.

Zhao Xie wanted to turn around and slash at him, but he was immediately rushed to the front by several Qin pawns, who stabbed him into the body with their weapons.

"The state of Zhao is dead, and the state of Dai will also perish..."

Zhao Xie murmured, blood flowed from his mouth and body.

His body fell heavily to the ground.

The last words that Zhao Xie heard came to his ears.

"This seems to be a noble person, his head is worth more than other people, right?"

On this day, two hundred and fifty years after the Zhao family seized the replacement city, this fortified city in the north officially fell into the hands of the Qin army.

On the top of the city, black flags fluttered.
