Volume 1 The Kingdom Breaks Mountains and Rivers Chapter 108 The City Wall Collapses

"Uncle Mao, I'm a little homesick."

Above the head of Jilin City, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old soldier who was shivering in the cold wind of the spring night said to a middle-aged man with a beard beside him.

The man held Changge in his arms tightly, and looked into the distance in the darkness with his hands around him.

"General Zhang said that Yuanzhou is going to win.

Once the Qin army in Yuanzhou is strangled, Shan Yu's main force will be transferred to fight Hanhai and Hexi, and then we can be like the people in Qinlan County and get the land. ”

The man surnamed Mao said slowly to the young man beside him, and his words seemed to be full of longing and expectation.

These two people are soldiers on guard at the head of the city, both of them are from the Acropolis, and they are in the same army, so this year, the man surnamed Mao has also taken care of this fellow villager young man, and when he saw that he was thinking in his words, he comforted him.

After the young man heard what the man surnamed Mao said, he opened his mouth and smiled:

"Uncle Mao, we don't farm, what do we want the land for."

The man smiled when he heard this, and then said:

"You stupid boy, just knowing that most of our Shuofang people live by grazing, he will give the land of those noble families to those who need to cultivate the land, and divide those cattle and sheep among us herders, and then you will marry a daughter-in-law and serve your father.

Oh, by the way, don't forget to give your Uncle Mao a bowl of wine to drink when you marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Hearing the man surnamed Mao say this, the young man was obviously a little moved, so he turned his head to look at the man surnamed Mao: "Uncle Mao, my father and mother have died a long time ago."

They grazed the Hu family, and a few lambs were taken away by wolves, and they were beaten to death by the Hu family, and I was only six years old at the time, and I watched my father and mother be beaten to death.

If you can go back and marry a daughter-in-law, I will let my daughter-in-law serve you, and I will give you a pension and send you to the end. ”

When the man surnamed Mao heard this, he was shocked, but he didn't speak.

After a long time, he sighed softly and patted the shoulder of the young man beside him.

If his son hadn't starved to death, he would be as old as him now.

The Hu family of the Acropolis.

When the young man preached about the Hu family, the man surnamed Mao also had anger in his eyes.

At that time, his wife was pregnant with Liujia, that is, a child of the Hu family was drunk and wanted to forcibly take his wife, and he was tied up by his subordinates, and witnessed the children of the Hu family doing the beast thing.

That night, his wife hanged himself in the Hu family's cattle pen, and the Hu family only paid themselves a pony and no one mentioned it again, so he led the horse to join the army, which was 20 years long.

Not everyone is Zhang Ren, the man surnamed Mao has been a soldier for 20 years, and he is always just a military commander.

But he didn't regret it, because he finally waited for the opportunity for revenge, and just after Zhang Ren betrayed Qin last year, he went to the Hu family in person according to Zhang Ren's instructions.

Looking at the Hu family disciple who was slowly tortured to death by him one by one, he couldn't help but hide his face and cry bitterly.

Although this revenge was late, he still killed his wife and unborn child.

Now, when the child next to him, who was also killed by the Hu family, told him that he was going to provide for his old age and send him to his death, how could he not be moved.

Just as the man surnamed Mao wanted to say something to the young man, he looked at the darkness in the distance, as if someone was coming in the direction of his city.

He rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that it was correct, he hurriedly shouted behind him:

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

After a loud shout, Ji Lincheng in the night seemed to sound thunder, and suddenly became restless.

The soldiers climbed on the head of the city one after another to look in the direction pointed by the man surnamed Mao, and sure enough, they saw that there seemed to be countless soldiers and horses coming towards Jilin City in the darkness.

Time passed by a minute, and everyone at the head of the city looked at the darkness in the distance with great nervousness, and when Zhang Rendu landed on the top of the city, he happened to see the army of Lihua suddenly lighting torches at the same time.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers and nearly 10,000 torches not only illuminated the Qin army's momentum extremely terrifyingly, but even the vicinity of the Jilin city wall was illuminated as daylight.

"What is this going to do?"

Zhang Ren didn't know what the Qin army was planning, why the Qin army in the middle of the night wanted to make such a show.

He didn't believe that the Qin army would be stupid enough to attack the city in the middle of the night.

What's more, all the Qin troops are standing not far behind these ten high platforms, and there is not even a city gate here, how to attack the city.

As for the ladders, rushing cars, etc., Zhang Ren didn't even see any of them.

But looking at the momentum of the Qin army, it seems that they did not come specifically to harass the defenders.

Just when the second monk Zhang Renzhang was confused, he saw that countless people seemed to run out from behind the ten high platforms, and they were still holding some weapons that did not seem to be Changge.

Zhang Ren looked at it, and then suddenly realized what Qin Jun was busy with these days, and what was the significance of building these ten high platforms.

Looking at the wooden shovels in the hands of the soldiers, his mind instantly went blank, and he opened his mouth, but he never knew what he was going to say.

Just as he suddenly had the idea of turning around and going down to the city, he heard a "boom" sound almost simultaneously from the left and right.

Zhang Ren understood that the city wall had collapsed.

He looked at the high platform in front of him, and knew in his heart that most of the soil of this towering earth platform was built by the soil transported by the Qin army digging tunnels, but he laughed at himself and thought that these high platforms were useless, it turned out that this was just a cover to cover people's ears.

However, even if I knew, what could I do?

Zhang Ren closed his eyes.

He is unwilling, unwilling to let his full skills be buried in the loess, unwilling to have no chance to prove to the world before his ambitions are displayed.

In his mind, the appearance of Shan Yu, a native of Narong, a promise made to him by Shan Yu named Xiao Jinxing.

He once promised that he would bring 100,000 soldiers and horses to destroy a country and reward the prince.

Unfortunately, everything is no longer possible.

Zhang Ren felt that the city walls on both sides were rapidly collapsing in his direction.

After a short moment, the originally strong city wall under his feet collapsed, and he fell down as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

......

The next day, Zhu Lihua sat in the palace of Ji Lincheng, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, watching the soldiers who sent the military newspaper in and out one after another.

On the side, several people were busy sorting out the military newspapers from all over the place, and presented the sorted military reports to Lihua.

Last night, a 100-meter-long section of the city wall collapsed, and the whole army rushed into the collapsed wall.

Since nearly thirty percent of the soldiers defending the city died on this section of the city wall, and Zhang Ren, the defender of Jilin City, was also missing in the chaos last night, the Qin army successfully captured most of Jilin City without encountering fierce resistance after attacking Jilin City.

Surprisingly, when the Rong army in Jilin City gave up resistance, a group of thousands of men and horses in the south of the city, who were quite shabby and unevenly armed, put up fierce resistance to the Qin army.

After a night, those men and horses still occupied the south of the city, and were not captured by the Qin army.

Zhu Lihua guessed that nine times out of ten, that army and horses were the rebels of the Huangyun Crane Department who had raised an incident with Niu Yong in Hanhai.

They must have felt that once they surrendered, the Qin army would settle accounts with them, so they would resist to the death.

Lu Lihua decided to let Niu Yong bring people to solve the matter, but at the same time, he also explained to Niu Yong that he needed to launch a fatal blow to the Huang Ministry, so that they would not think that the Qin army had no way to surrender them. When they are despairing, it will be twice as effective to surrender again.

Niu Yong followed the instructions of Lu Lihua, as soon as he arrived in Nancheng, he organized the Qin army here to continue to fire several rounds of arrows at the place where the rebels were strongholding.

In a stone house in Nancheng, Huang Yunhe looked at the little leaders around him with frustration, and he didn't know what to say, but he only heard a soldier hurriedly running in from outside the door, and when he saw Huang Yunhe, he said urgently:

"Yellow-headed man, there is a lobbyist from the Qin army, and if you want us to surrender, you can promise not to kill anyone indiscriminately."

After the soldier finished speaking, he only listened to the surrounding leaders and began to talk about it, obviously Qin Jun's proposal made them quite excited.

Isn't resisting the Qin army just to survive, and now that the Qin army has said that he can avoid death by laying down his arms, what else can he resist.

Only Huang Yunhe smiled bitterly, raised his head and said, "I'm afraid that if we give up resistance, we will become lambs to the slaughter." ”

Hearing Huang Yunhe say this, the leaders were silent again.

At this time, the messenger who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly said:

"Yellow-headed man, the lobbyist from Qin Jun is Niu Yongniu's leader."

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard that the soldier who delivered the letter said that it was Niu Yong, Huang Yunhe suddenly raised his head, looked at the soldier who spoke, and then looked at the people with the same surprised faces as himself.

"Can you see clearly, is it really the bull leader?"

"I can see it clearly, it's the bull leader."

Huang Yunhe hurriedly got up, took the little leaders out of the hut, and walked towards the place where the two armies were fighting, he already felt in his heart that he was afraid that he could really survive this time.

When he came to the front of the battle, Huang Yunhe felt sad when he saw the corpses all over the ground, these corpses were all his own people, and he also knew very well that he was afraid that if the Qin army attacked on the scale of Fang Cai again, his own men and horses would have to be all explained in this city.

didn't have time to think about it, Huang Yunhe saw a person in the distance looking at him with a smile, and he looked fixedly, who was Niu Yong who was not the one who did things with him in Hanhai.

I saw Niu Yong arching his hand towards him and shouting loudly:

"Brother Huang, the official army is here to fight against the Rong people and regain the lost territory. Now that the Rong army in Jilin City has been annihilated, Brother Huang is a hero, when he knows that his husband will die well, how can he die for the Rong people. ”

Listening to Niu Yong in the distance, Huang Yunhe felt a burst of heat on his face.

When he took refuge in Zhang Ren, he just thought that Zhang Ren could save everyone's lives, not that he really wanted to take refuge in the Rong people, otherwise he would not have rejected Zhang Ren's suggestion to integrate his subordinates into the Rong army.

He lowered his head and thought, but only heard Niu Yong say loudly:

"Captain Lili is a hero, even Zhang Ren is not Captain Li's opponent, Brother Huang must not make a mistake and sacrifice the lives of the villagers in vain."

When he heard these words, he also thought it was true.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Ren was the god of war second only to Fang Yuanheng in the Great Qin Army, but he never thought that in less than a month, Zhang Ren was defeated, which made him not frightened, how powerful the main general of the Qin army surnamed Yu should be to defeat Zhang Ren in less than a month.
