Chapter 675: Capture the Imperial Capital of Qin

Ambition and dreams have always been the driving force for human progress, and at this moment, Chang Yu has made up his mind to fulfill his responsibilities as a great Xia Erlang.

It's just that the question also comes, how to kill Qin Zheng?

He is just a eunuch in Mingxin Palace, who is low-key and inconspicuous on weekdays, and has been circling around Zhao Ji, and he can't contact Qin Zheng at all. And now Qin Zheng doubts his life experience, and almost doesn't come to Mingxin Palace to ask for peace, even if he comes and seizes the opportunity, it is impossible for Chang Yu to act rashly, how can he escape after killing someone.

You still have to find a way not to involve yourself.

Poisoned?

No, the previous Qin Emperor was poisoned, and Qin Zheng didn't eat and drink indiscriminately, and it was not so easy to poison him. After all the calculations, there is no suitable way.

Just when Chang Yu was suffering and had no choice, the opportunity came.

It turned out that Qin Zheng was preparing to escape from the Qin capital and go to Kunlun County in the west, even if he was reluctant, he had to tell Zhao Ji about it in person, after all, he was the queen mother.

After Zhao Ji heard Qin Zheng's intention, her heart trembled.

Although the harem has been rumored that the soldiers and horses of the Xia State have come and are about to approach the Qin capital, Zhao Ji has been in the harem for many years, and she does not know the sinister situation outside, she has always thought that the rumors are greater than the facts, the Qin State is so strong, even if the Xia State invades, it can be driven out. A concubine like her, who is locked in the harem, has no worries about food and clothing, and she doesn't know the hardships outside.

At this time, the emperor wanted to abandon the palace and flee, and Zhao Ji also realized that the rumors were not rumors, and the Qin State might really be finished.

Does his child still have a chance to be an emperor?

Zhao Ji was full of worries, and then nodded and promised Qin Zheng, and when Qin Zheng left, he immediately ordered the palace maids and internal officials to pack up their things.

Chang Yu's eyes lit up, and he was even more convinced that he should act, and at the same time seized the opportunity.

After Qin Zheng left the palace, although he was guarded by the forbidden army, it was definitely better to stay in the palace, as long as he found out Qin Zheng's whereabouts and location, as well as the guards around him, he could assassinate him. However, for the sake of safety, you can't do it alone, and you must look for a master to help.

So Chang Yu immediately replied to Wang Dazhi.

Within a few days, the reply letter returned to Xiao Rui.

At this moment, Xiao Rui's middle army entered Xianwang County, and was resisted by the Qin army, Meng Tian used food as a bargaining chip, attracting a large number of poor people to enlist, but unfortunately, the untrained people were not the opponents of the Great Xia soldiers at all, although they resisted fiercely, but they could not stop the pace of Great Xia's advance.

In less than ten days, the army will be able to come to the city of Qin.

However, after receiving Chang Yu's letter at this time, Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said to Zhang Liang and the others with a smile: "Look at it, Qin is about to abandon Qin Du and flee west!" ”

Xiao Rui forwarded the letter to Zhang Liang, who read it and handed it to Jia Xu, and then said, "As expected! The western counties of the Qin capital are his last reliance, and it is impossible for him to defend the Qin capital until he has reached the point of exhaustion. This Qin Emperor is still holding out hopes, hoping for a turnaround! ”

Turn?

There can be no turnaround, Xiao Rui's troops are divided into eight routes, a total of 1.6 million troops attack the Qin capital, and now, with the civil strife in the Yuan Dynasty, the Dongqi region has no worries, and the follow-up 400,000 troops also entered the Qin State through the three passes of the Qinling Mountains, responsible for suppressing and cleaning up the counties and regions that have been taken, and avoiding fires behind them.

Coupled with the logistics personnel, this attack on the Qin State, Great Xia launched a total of 2.5 million troops, almost seventy percent of Great Xia's troops!

In the past, when the Xia State did not capture the Anbei region and the Anxi region, two million troops were all the troops of Great Xia.

With such a huge force, with the help of sophisticated equipment, and with the help of Tianshi, how could it not be possible to take the Qin capital.

The disasters of the Xiaoice River period in recent years have greatly weakened the strength of the Qin State, in fact, this is the main reason why the Great Xia can defeat the Qin State.

At this time, Jia Xu put down the letter and said with a smile: "Qin Zheng fled westward, and our beheading plan has begun to be implemented, with the support of Chang Yu and Chuan Jianguo, the feasibility is very high." ”

As top strategists, how could Zhang Liang and Jia Xu not calculate that Qin Zheng would flee west? In fact, there is no need to count, a little bit of brain understands that Qin Zheng cannot live and die with Qin Du, he will definitely escape. So as early as when Chuan Jianguo was serving as a household servant, he began to design.

That's right, it's so early, the sooner it is designed, the sooner it will not arouse suspicion!

The way of design is very simple, Sichuan Jianguo won over the county guard of Kunlun County with a lot of money, and became the highest-ranking official in the Qin capital to defect to Great Xia. With the help of his power, the Mo family and the Mo organization trained the dead soldiers in Kunlun County and arranged suitable identities for them. Later, with the cultivation of the Great Returning Dan, Xiao Rui thought twice, gritted his teeth, and took out a lot of rewards to the dead soldiers to help them break through their cultivation.

Now among the twenty loyal dead soldiers who are not afraid of life and death, five of them are in the five-grade realm, and the others are all in the fourth-grade realm.

When Qin Zhengxi fled to Kunlun County, the county guard of Kunlun County naturally had to take care of Qin Zheng's daily life, which gave the dead a chance, and with the cooperation of Chang Yu, assassination could be carried out.

So Xiao Rui said to Jia Xu: "Write back to Chang Yu and tell him who to contact when he arrives in Kunlun County." ”

"Wechen understands." Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled.

In the next few days, the soldiers and horses of the Eighth Route of Great Xia got closer and closer to the Qin capital, and Qin Zheng really fled westward, and the civil and military ministers who fled from the Qin capital together fled to Kunlun County with their families. As for the officials with humble official positions, such as those below the sixth rank, the army does not care about their life or death at all, and they can escape if they want to, and act on their own.

In this way, 80,000 troops escorted Qin Zheng to escape from the Qin capital, and the rest of the troops were left to Meng Fang, who would live and die with Qin Du.

Seven days later.

The Eighth Route Army has already seen the majesty of the Qin Capital, and it is indeed magnificent.

After another two days, the troops of the Eighth Route Army approached the city, the troops of Gan Ning and Chen Qing came to the south of the Qin capital, Qi Jiguang and Yue Fei were near the north of the Qin capital, and the middle route army and Li Cunxiao, Dian Wei, and Yang Youji were in the east, leaving the west of the Qin capital for them to flee.

The structure of the capitals of each country is almost the same, divided into the outer Guo city and the inner city, the scale of the Qin capital is about the same as the capital of the Qi country, tall and majestic, and if you want to attack and take it, you will suffer heavy losses. Now that Meng Fangtian is leading his troops to defend to the death, it is estimated that it will be very difficult for him to abandon the city and surrender.

Therefore, referring to the practice of the champion Hou who won the imperial capital of Qi State that year, Xiao Rui, the emperor of Great Xia, personally took out the reward:

Those who have obtained the head of Meng Tian will be given the title of earl!

Those who have obtained the head of Baimeng will be given the title of earl!

Those who have obtained the head of the white cang, the title of viscount!

....

The price is directly marked, and the remuneration is rich, creating a great opportunity for Qindu's sons to ascend to the sky first.

Of course, Great Xia has not forgotten to win over the people, as long as he takes the initiative to open the city and surrender, give new crop seeds, reward each person with ten acres of land, reduce taxes within three years, and so on.

When these news came to the capital of Qin, the people of Qin State talked a lot, and they couldn't wait to open the city gate to join Daxia, anyway, it was the lives of the people, who was the emperor different?

Faced with Da Xia's tricks, Meng Fangtian couldn't help but say: "My head is so valuable!" ”

Bai Meng also smiled and said, "Mine is not bad." ”

After the two finished laughing, they glanced at each other, and then fell silent.

His Majesty has gone west, but the adult sons of the Bai family and the Meng family have not left, and the two of them will stick to this Qin capital, even if they fight to the end and drip the last drop of blood.

After a while, Meng Tian said to Bai Meng: "Open the three gates of the west city, and if the people want to leave, let them leave." They are innocent, but as Great Qin soldiers, the Bai family army and the Meng family army cannot escape! ”

"I understand." Bai Meng nodded and immediately went down to make arrangements.

On the second day of the soldiers coming to the city, the closed west gate was opened, allowing the fleeing people to leave, and there were also deserters in the Bai family army and the Meng family army who took the opportunity to escape, but most of them were temporarily recruited people, and the real Meng family army and Bai family army soldiers did not abandon the city.

They are willing to follow their commanders and fight to the death for Great Qin!

Xiao Rui also saw the other party's determination, and if he wanted to take the Qin capital without seeing the bloody blade, it was basically impossible, and Zhang Liang and Jia Xu had no choice. So Xiao Rui decided not to wait, attack the city!

On the third day, the Great Xia soldiers and horses began to attack the city, attacking from three sides.

The siege was tragic, and Great Xia paid a heavy price and losses, and it took four days to break through the outer city.

It took another three days to break through the inner city gate.

Meng Tian and Bai Meng died in battle, and the other generals and soldiers who defended the city fought to the end, 40,000 Mengjia troops and 30,000 Bai family troops were all wiped out, defending the Qin capital with their lives.

In order to capture the Qin capital, the Great Xia side also suffered heavy casualties, becoming the most killed and wounded in the attack on Qin, with 80,000 dead and wounded, almost one life.

Although there were powerful weapons such as gunpowder and Zhuge repeaters, the Qin army relied on a strong city and the courage to not fear death, and did not let Great Xia easily take the city.

After cleaning the battlefield, appeasing the people, and stabilizing the order, Xiao Rui moved to the Qin Palace and sat in the power center of the Qin State.

When the news of Qindu's loss came back to Qin Zheng's ears, he trembled with fear.

They happened to enter the territory of Kunlun County, and now that the Qin capital is lost, there is only one Maolin County between the Qin capital and Kunlun County, and Great Xia will soon be killed.

"Is the Qin State about to die in his own hands?"

Qin Zheng muttered to himself.

From the Great Xia attack to the present, only a few months have passed, and most of the huge territory has been lost, and the speed is so fast that Qin Zheng can't believe it, and sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night, and he can't understand why the powerful enemy country is falling apart so quickly.

In the next few days, Qin Zheng arrived at Kunlun County, and Xue Ankang, the county guard of Kunlun County, had already cleaned up the county guard mansion and gave it to Qin Zheng.

There is no palace here, so Qin Zheng can only settle down, and at the same time send spies to keep an eye on the direction of Qin Capital to investigate the movements of Great Xia.

And Xiao Rui, who captured the Qin capital, did not choose to completely conquer the entire Qin State in one go, so let Qin Zheng worry about the scared life in Kunlun County for a while, and he had already prepared hors d'oeuvres, which should be very exciting.

In Xiao Rui's view, the next major thing is to rectify the occupied counties.
