Chapter 1516: Han Banner World 206 Decisive Battle 20
The huge roar of the artillery outside the city has gradually stopped, but the roar of the mountains and the tsunami is like a raging tide, which is gradually flooding the entire city, in the city, there were more than 30,000 elite Qin troops and countless young people who were temporarily pulled, but under the fierce artillery fire of the Han army, they were blown up and collapsed, and they were broken through from the west city, and an avalanche effect was formed in an instant, and the regular army retreated to the inner city, and those young people threw away the weapons in their hands and tore the military uniforms on their bodies, which were originally residents of Xianyang City, Quickly ran to his home, closed the door, and hid in the room with his family shivering, and those who were originally homeless people in Xianyang City had no way to hide, so they could only desperately throw away all the symbols symbolizing the soldiers on their bodies, and then held their heads, curled up in the corner, under the eaves, when the Han soldiers who rushed into the city roared to their targets, they would be surprised to find from time to time that on the side of the street, under the eaves, and in the corner of the wall, there were groups of people from the Qin State who were almost **** with no body and no face.
"I'm so poor, I don't even have clothes to wear!" A Han army company commander is very emotional, not afraid of not knowing the goods, just afraid of comparing goods, comparing these Qin people with the Han people in China, it is really heaven and earth, completely people living in two worlds, in the Han Kingdom, if someone under the rule can't even wear clothes, then the magistrate of this place will basically have to say goodbye to his official career.
"It's better for us to go to the Han Kingdom!" Looking at the half-grown child squatting on the ground with his arms in his arms under the eaves, the company strode over, and the half-grown child didn't dare to look up at him at all, the whole person curled up in a ball, and his body shook like a sifting chaff.
"Pathetic! This is the age when we go to school in the academy! It's about the same size as my doll! The company commander untied his cloak, shook it off, draped it over the half-grown child, and trotted all the way to catch up with his own company.
The half-grown child looked up. Looking at the cloak with the obvious logo of the Han army on his body, in addition to confusion and gratitude in his eyes, he tightened the cloak and wrapped his thin body with him, deliberately pulling the logo of the Han army to the most conspicuous position.
This wave of Han troops ran over, and the street suddenly fell silent, and the half-grown children suddenly found that around them, several big men were pressing towards them step by step, and the greed in their eyes was there. There was no doubt that it was the cloak he was wearing.
With this thing, maybe you can save your life in the chaos that follows.
The child squatted down in fright, pulled his cloak tightly, and with a bang, several big men pounced, and the sound of fists and feet, and angry scolding, resounded in the street in an instant.
After a few moments, the tallest and strongest man was triumphantly wrapped in a cloak. Walked to the side, and even the only pair of shorts on his body was torn to pieces, and the half-grown child fell to the street bruised, screaming loudly.
If the Han army company commander who walked over. Knowing his kindness, in exchange for such a result, he will definitely regret giving this cloak to this child.
"Order!" Outside the city, Gao Yuan sat on his own brilliant. In the huge carriage, he was receiving the officers under his command, just now. The commanders of the three theaters of war, Xu Yuan, Meng Chong, and He Lanxiong, all appeared next to his imperial chariot on horseback, and they came to report the good news to the emperor.
Xianyang City has been breached! The originally expected bitter battle did not appear, the Qin army collapsed at the first touch, and the speed of collapse made these three long-experienced generals who had been in battle for a long time and destroyed countless countries to the extreme, even when they attacked Qi at the beginning, they fought to the end, and they still solved the problem through negotiations, not because they couldn't be defeated, but to avoid greater casualties.
Striking first and then persuading to surrender has always been the standard solution of the Han army, but this time, they obviously miscalculated, and just after the first step, the Qin army collapsed.
For them, however, this is a happy event, which means fewer casualties, less military spending and greater merit. But for Gao Yuan, this is not a particularly celebratory event, Xianyang City was captured is expected, but the collapse of Xianyang City so quickly can only indicate another thing, the order of Xianyang City has collapsed.
A big city of millions of people, without management and order, has completely become a world of doing whatever it wants, what a terrible thing it is, Gao Yuan knows too well.
Human greed, desire, and the kind of evil buried in the deepest part of the heart will be fully aroused in such an environment, under the cover of chaos, under the stimulation of war, countless evils will put on this cloak and bloom into the flower of evil, and the victims will be the weakest and most innocent ordinary people.
"A military victory is only the smallest step, and the next step is to restore order in the city is the biggest problem we face." Gao Yuan looked at the three generals under his command with a serious expression, "Meng Chong, you are in charge of this matter." I need Xianyang City to return to calm in the shortest possible time. ”
Meng Chong was born as a scholar, and his understanding of this point was naturally far deeper than that of Xu Yuan and He Lanxiong, the latter two were purely soldiers, and they didn't care about such chaos at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty. But I am afraid that it will be necessary to restore public order and order in Xianyang City in a short period of time, but I am afraid that there will be heavy rules in troubled times, and murder is indispensable. Meng Chong said, Liwei, killing, for a military commander, it is really not a problem, but this time he has to face not soldiers, but those most ordinary people, Meng Chong has to think about it, he doesn't want to become a stain on his credit book after the war.
"If you should kill, you still have to kill." Gao Yuan sighed: "At the lowest price, in exchange for the greatest result, you can do it, if you can kill less, you can kill less." ”
"Got it!"
The last Qin army retreated to the inner city, while the Han army, which was chasing after the tail, quickly surrounded the inner city, and the cannons were dragged by horses, raised their muzzles, and aimed at the last fortress in Xianyang City.
"Aim at the gates and fire!" Yan Haibo looked at the slightly thin city gate in the inner city with a smile, such a city gate, as long as it is accurate, he is afraid that it will be opened with one shot. "Capture the Emperor of Qin alive!" He waved his arms and yelled. In my mind, I couldn't help but think of Lu Chao who helped the wind back then, at that time, he was just a small county soldier, and he often wore an unclothed military uniform to wander around the street, occasionally. He would see the well-dressed Lu Chao walking down the street, and the eldest prince of Lu at that time was the son of their county lieutenant, and in their eyes, he was an unattainable figure.
Baiyun Canggou, the vicissitudes of the world, but in more than ten years, the eldest prince of Lu became the emperor of Qin, although he came from the usurpation, but it was also a great thing. And himself, from the one who often had a bare ass at the beginning. didn't understand anything, but he knew that the little soldier who ran errands behind Sun Xiao had become a general who now commanded tens of thousands of troops.
The winner is himself. Yan Haibo thought excitedly.
In the palace, Lu Chao could already clearly hear the shouts of the Han army and the roar of artillery, and a smile appeared on his pale face. At this moment, behind him, there were only two personal guards.
"Mother!" Stepping through the palace gate, he knelt down. In front of him. The former county lieutenant's wife, now the empress dowager's wife, Mrs. Lu, looked at Lu Chao who knelt down at the entrance with tears in her eyes. Although she didn't hear anything outside the window, she also knew that her son's failure was not in sight, and what made him even more sad was that. Outside the city, the one who will win the final victory is Gao Yuan, who she once raised as another son.
"Mother. The child is sorry for you, I wanted you to enjoy the blessings, but I didn't want it to be such a result in the end, and my son kowtowed to you. Lu Chao raised his head, but his smiling face was covered with tears. Mother, my son is leaving, you are fine, Gao Yuan will not do anything to you, even if it is hypocrisy, he will offer you high. Your son can't support you in your old age. ”
"Chao'er, you surrender, as long as you are willing to surrender, your mother will let you survive if you don't want this old face, we won't live in this palace, let's go back to Fufeng, our old mansion will always be there!" Mrs. Lu stepped forward crying and took Lu Chao's head in her arms.
"Mother!" Lu Chao broke free of Mrs. Lu's hand and got up from the ground: "My son is the emperor, the first emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and he will never surrender to anyone. I am an emperor who sacrifices his life for righteousness, not a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
He laughed and turned to go out the door, leaving Mrs. Lu in the house mourning and weeping.
Leaving his mother's palace, Lu Chao walked all the way to the Kunyu Hall where the queen Gongsun Yan lived, standing at the gate of the palace, anger suddenly rose on his face, and the whole palace was in a mess. Lu Chao saw his father-in-law, Gonggrandi.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Lu Chao suddenly appear, Gongsun Ying showed a trace of panic on his face.
"What are you doing here? Are you preparing to escape? Lu Chao looked at Gongsun Ying, sneered and asked, "Now, where can you escape to?" This inner city has been surrounded by the Han army. Oh, I know, you want to surrender to the Han army, what are you holding my son for, do you want to take him to ask for merit and reward? ”
Lu Chao sneered, snatched the child from Gongsun Ying's arms, and held it in his arms.
Gongsun Ying's face was blue and white for a while, he was indeed ready to do this. He stared at Lu Chao, and his face slowly changed, because Lu Chao's big hand was covering the child's mouth and nose, and the child's hands and feet were weakly kicking.
"Lu Chao, what are you doing?" Gongsun Ying roared and pounced, and Gongsun Yan on the side also screamed and pounced.
A knife stabbed out from behind Lu Chao and pierced deep into Gongsun Ying's chest and abdomen, and Lu Chao looked at Gongsun Ying and Gongsun Yan expressionlessly.
"My son of Lu Chao, how can I live to be a prisoner of others, and in the endless days to come, I will taste the bitterness and pain of the world, it is better to be a hundred and follow me to be happy."
Gongsun Yan slowly sat down on the ground, desperately watching the child in Lu Chao's hands, gradually losing his breath, his little hands and legs drooped weakly, reached out to his head, pulled out a long hairpin, laughed miserably, and stabbed into his heart.
"Okay, good, it's worthy of being my Lu Chao's woman, and there are still a few fierce ones."
Lu Chao laughed wildly, put the child in the arms of Gongsun Yan, who was hiding on the ground, and turned around and walked out.
"Burn, set fire!"
