Chapter 532: The Change of Yiqu City (Second Update)
Beidi County of Qin, Yiqu City.
Winter has just passed, and although the snow and ice on the ground have disappeared, the cold air is still lingering around people.
Since Yiqu was incorporated into the Qin State, the original capital of the Yiqu people has become the county seat of the Beidi County of the Qin State.
In the past few months, the atmosphere in Yiqu City has obviously been a little tense.
Although the Qin State has taken very strict control measures against Yiqu, in recent years, the Yiqu people have continued to rebel large and small, which has caused a big headache for the Qin officials.
Under such circumstances, the two successive Qin kings issued the same order, using a more severe way to suppress the rebellion of the Yiqu people.
At the east gate of Yiqu City, dozens of human heads that had already dried hung high above the city gate, fluttering in the wind.
The head that hung the highest was none other than Yiquhai, the leader of the Yiqu people who had attempted to launch a rebellion before.
In the afternoon of this day, several people from Mingqu appeared on the road outside Yiqu City on horseback, and slowly walked towards the city gate.
"Stop, show the pass!" The soldiers defending the city stopped them and shouted very harshly.
These people were obviously a little dissatisfied with the attitude of the soldiers guarding the city, and they scolded and took out the inspection pass from their arms.
After the inspection, the soldiers interrogated the Yiqu people.
"Why are you waiting to enter the city?"
"Friend's faint!"
"Dusk?" The soldier snorted heavily through his nostrils for a moment before he said, "Wait, remember, don't walk around the city at will, and don't cause trouble." By the way, Yiqu people need to pay ten dollars to enter the city! ”
"Ten cents?" When several of the people heard this, they were furious: "Why don't those who entered the city before us need to be questioned or paid?" ”
The soldier stared at these people with a smile, and the meaning in his eyes was incomprehensible: "Why, you also want to hang your head on the city gate?" ”
……
Several people entered the city, all of them with unhappy faces, and they gathered together to curse angrily.
"These Qin people are too deceitful!"
"I don't even treat Yiqu people like us as human beings!"
"If you wait until the great thing is done, then it will ......"
"Silence! Do you want to break the big thing! ”
These people quickly disappeared into the streets of Yiqu City.
What the officials of Yiqu City of Qin State did not notice was that in the past few days, hundreds of people had entered Yiqu City by hiding in the crowd for various reasons.
And none of them went out of town.
In the evening of that day, a group of about 2,000 Yiqu cavalry quietly came to a mountain several miles away from Yiqu City.
Yiqu Sheng took a few cronies up the hill and watched Yiqu City from afar.
"O king, do you say they will succeed?" A Yiqu man who looked like he was supposed to be a small boss asked eagerly.
Yiqu Sheng snorted and said: "These Qin people have never taken us Yiqu people seriously, and the defeat of Yiquhai last time gave them confidence, in their eyes, we Yiqu people will never take the initiative to attack Yiqu City." This time, we are going to surprise them and take down Yiqu City! ”
Yiqu Sheng's words were full of confidence, in order to capture the city this time, he had been planning for almost half a year.
It was getting dark.
In Yiqu City, a curfew is imposed as soon as it gets dark. Therefore, when the dark sky covers the earth, the entire Yiqu City will quickly fall silent.
In a nondescript looking house not far from the city gate, hundreds of people gathered in this small room, led by the same people who had just entered the city earlier today.
"Second and third sons, now that the Qin State has weakened, it is a great opportunity for us to wait for something to happen! Today, we will take the city of Yiqu and restore the glory of the country of Yiqu! ”
All the Yiqu men clenched their right fists and gently slapped their chests, letting out a low roar, their faces were undisguised with murderous intent, like a pack of hungry wolves.
The door was opened, and a man with a sharp blade in his hand disappeared into the darkness from the side door of the courtyard, and quietly headed for the city gate not far away.
It was a cold spring night, and most of the Qin soldiers at the city gate were huddled in the city gate tower, and occasionally there was a sound of footsteps at the head of the city, which was a passing Qin army patrol.
After another sound of footsteps from the patrol passed by the city, several figures silently flashed into the city gatehouse.
Several muffled screams rang out, and the smell of blood began to spread through the air little by little.
More Yiqu people began to emerge from the darkness.
A soldier of the Qin Army who was out to go to the toilet had just walked back to the gate of the city gate tower when he happened to collide with several Yiqu people who rushed out of it.
Under the light of the torches, the cold light of the sharp blades in the hands of the Yiqu people and the blood on the blades were extremely conspicuous.
"Enemy attack!" An exclamation came from the mouth of the Qin soldier, breaking the silence.
The next moment, the blade pierced through the chest of this Qin soldier without hindrance.
But the death of this Qin soldier was not worthless, and the Qin patrol that had just walked a short distance had apparently noticed the anomaly and was speeding towards here with torches.
The piercing sound of cymbals instantly resounded throughout Yiqu City.
At the foot of the mountain a few miles away, Yi Qusheng jumped up: "All of them, get on the horse!" ”
Two thousand nominal canal cavalry mounted their horses one after another, and galloped towards Yiqu City not far away in the darkness.
In the darkness at the city gate, the roar of the Yiqu people also became louder.
"Uwe, take your men to stop these patrols! The others come with me and open the gates! ”
A fierce battle immediately ensued at the city gates.
Although the Yiqu people were brave and numerous, they were still outnumbered after a moment of fierce fighting in the face of the Qin soldiers, who were better equipped and better at collective combat.
Not only that, but after the alarm sounded, more Qin soldiers began to come to support, and the pressure on the Yiqu people began to increase.
After a fierce battle, the Yiqu people began to lose and retreated step by step.
At this time, the heavy city gate finally slowly opened with the efforts of the remaining Yiqu people.
Amid the sound of horses' hooves, Yi Qusheng swarmed in with the two thousand nominal Quren cavalry under his command.
"Whoosh!" Dense arrows were fired from the hands of the Yiqu cavalry.
After a rain of arrows covered it, the soldiers of the Qin State, who had just gained the upper hand for a short time, were defeated and scattered.
Like a rolling torrent, the people of Yiqu began to sweep the entire city.
The battle ended in just one night.
When the sun rose in the early morning, Yiqu Sheng, whose eyes were full of bloodshots, stood outside the hall of the city guard of Yiqu City, and lifted the head of the county guard of the northern county of Qin State in his hand.
"From today onwards, the country of Yiqu will be officially restored!"
In front of Yiqu Sheng, thousands of Yiqu people who were like evil wolves raised the sharp blades in their hands and howled wildly and excitedly.
