Chapter 31: Warring States! Warring states!
The Eastern Zhou army was going crazy, and yesterday someone reported that a Qin army had left Hangu Pass. Thinking that there would be no major action by the Qin army in winter, the Eastern Zhou Jun changed his military service to conscription. I went to build myself the mausoleum of great proportion.
As a descendant of the surname Ji, Dong Zhoujun completely gave up on himself. The Great Zhou Dynasty no longer had the glory of its ancestors, and the princes from all walks of life nominally regarded themselves as co-masters. In fact, they all know what's going on, and it's the sword and the knife that have the final say. Who still takes a tablet seriously, this puppet is really tired. Indulging in beauty and alcohol, Dong Zhoujun often thinks about how good it would be for him to die quietly the next day. Lying in his own tomb, which has been repaired for five years, he can leave the troubles of the world forever.
In the end, the state of Qin sent troops to annihilate the nominal princes and monarchs. Dong Zhoujun has this mental preparation, but it is definitely not today. The Eastern Zhou State could theoretically organize more than 10,000 troops to resist, but now the facts are. There were only more than 1,000 troops in the Eastern Zhou City, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty could not afford to raise too many standing troops.
"Who are the generals of the Qin army?" Dong Zhoujun nervously asked his lieutenant.
"Back to the king, the handsome flag played by the Qin army is the cloud character banner. The deputy general's flag is the king's banner, and the last general has been to Xianyang and recognized that it is the Qin general Wang Qian. He is the leader of the Great Qin Iron Eagle Warriors! Captain Si Li obviously had some insight and recognized Wang Jian at a glance.
"What? Iron Eagle Sharps! But the Iron Eagle Warrior in the Qin Army, who is known as one in a thousand? Dong Zhoujun stood up in shock, and almost fell to the ground in a stumble.
"It's this Wang Qian. The last general looked at the four royal carriages under the cloud word, which was the conjecture of the marquis's ceremonial ministers. This person may have been a marquis. And it's a Chehou. ”
"Hehehe! The Qin people really looked up to our Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the vanguard sent a Che Hou. It's just that I don't know who the commander of the army is. "The Eastern Zhou Jun language is lonely. The day has finally come.
Walking up to the city wall with Captain Si Li, Dong Zhoujun immediately froze.
The Qin army under the city was in a strict formation, densely arranged in an orderly manner. Behind the formation, the cavalry shuttled back and forth, like an army from hell under the gloomy sky. Smoke rose from behind the formation, and it was unknown how many reinforcements were arriving.
"What's that?" Captain Si Li exclaimed.
I saw that the Qin army on the opposite side seemed to be assembling something, and after a while, a strange-looking chariot appeared in people's sight.
"Coax!" Thousands of Qin troops struck their breastplates with their weapons at the same time, as if a landslide was cracking. Waves of sound were like tides slapping against the psychological defense line of the Eastern Zhou army. There were already soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty trembling. Looking at the military formation that was gradually pressing forward, there was an urge to throw away the blade and flee.
With each tapping of the cuirass, the team moved forward in a neat manner. The military formation of thousands of people was like a dark cloud pressing down on the top, giving people unlimited psychological pressure.
The two strange-looking chariots were at the front of the formation. More than a dozen sturdy men pushed hard. The "click" sound of crushing the stones and ice and snow kept coming, and it sounded to the Eastern Zhou monarchs that this was a giant beast in the wilderness, and it was ready to be devoured at any time.
"Crossbow bolts are wound, hurry up! Hurry up! "Captains are not allowed to punch and kick the commanding officers. These guys, who haven't been used to battle formations for many years, are already scared. Many of them were lifted by the lieutenant by the collar. Kick two more feet to wind the bolt with all you need.
Yun Yue held the binoculars and watched every move on the opposite city wall. He handed the telescope to Wang Jian and said with a smile: "I just said that the psychological offensive is effective, you see that those broken urges are scared." After a while, siege engines chiseled through the city gates. These grandsons aren't scared to death! ”
Wang Jian held the binoculars and was so frightened that he almost threw them out. The figure on the city wall in the distance seems to be close in front of you, what kind of treasure can you turn into clairvoyance with this thing?
"Uh......! Be...... Right! Rao is Wang Jian is full of determination, and he was also shocked by this modern thing.
The Qin army marched beyond the range of the bow and crossbow and stopped advancing. A few crossbow arrows were shot from the ramparts. Without exception, they all fell in front of the Qin army, and there were no casualties.
The grotesque-looking siege engine continued to move forward. An order was given from the city walls. Arrows rained down like a hedgehog in the sand on the roof of the car. But it was useless to the dozen or so soldiers hidden under the car.
"Roll the wood!" Captain Si Li shouted anxiously, he could already see the function of this chariot. The pointed tip of the shovel was designed to deal with the city gates. He believed that as long as he counted a dozen times, the tattered bolt of the Eastern Zhou City would break like a toothpick. Next...... He didn't dare to imagine that the tiger-wolf-like Qin army rushed in.
The siege engines creaked closer, and large sections of rolling logs were thrown down from the walls. The rolling wood smashed on the bronze frame, making a loud "boom" sound, but the siege engine was all made of bronze. The rolling logs and rocks were smashed up, and they were all slid open by the sloping roof.
Watching the rolling wood and stones bounce off the roof of the car one by one, Captain Sili's jaw was about to fall. The Eastern Zhou Jun beside him was even more ashen, sitting on the ground as if the end of the world was coming. His eyes were dull and he looked at the gloomy sky, and the little resistance he had once had was already ethereal.
"Set the oil on fire!" The voice of Captain Si Li's shouting had already changed its tone, and the oil was expensive, and he would never use it unless he had to. But in order to deal with the monster in front of him, he had to give it a try.
The bookkeeper struggled to lift a few jars and fell down against the siege vehicle directly below. Several jars of oil were poured down, followed by a dozen torches.
But they were disappointed that the top of the siege engine was covered with a thick layer of sand. The oil was poured on it, and it didn't even bubble. The torches were thrown inside, and not even a decent flame was burned. All the Eastern Zhou soldiers have been stupid, and some clever ones have taken advantage of the captain's inattention. Sneaking under the city walls, ready to run.
"Pour boiling water and scald them!" Captain Si Li made a final cry of despair. The voice was already as sharp as a wolf's howl, and that was his last resort.
Two large pots of boiling water were boiled in the cauldron on the side of the city wall, and a lot of feces were specially placed in it to increase the lethality. Above the city gate, there were two protruding beast heads with large mouths, and boiling water poured down the beast's heads when they overturned.
Despite the winter. The strong stench still smoked people almost suffocated. Fortunately, Yun Yue was already prepared, Chu Dayong under the car shouted, and the soldiers all wore double masks. This mask has charcoal ash between the two layers. Then sew it densely. Although gasping for breath is a bit laborious, it is also stronger than smelling a disgusting stench.
There is no reaction, and the boiling water is completely diluted with sand. Then it slipped down the grooves around the car, except for the discomfort caused by the smell. Doesn't seem to have any killing effect!
Captain Sili's face turned white, and he couldn't do anything about this monster. The crossbow does not penetrate, and the water and fire do not penetrate. Even the dung soup of the double attack of physical and chemical does not seem to work.
When the city gates sounded the first "boom". The sound was definitely more startling than the thunder of spring. The city gate, which is two or three feet high, made a loud noise, and it continued to reverberate in the city gate hole. The deadbolt of the door, which I don't know how many years old, let out a wail that seemed to be unbearable.
"Boom" "boom" a loud sound. It was like beating in the hearts of everyone in Eastern Zhou City. There were more than 1,000 people on the city wall, and not one of them made a sound. The world seemed to stand still for a moment, except for the great rumble and the terrible sound of the wind.
"Boom!" The Qin army cooperated with the tapping of the breastplate, and the huge sound of thousands of people seemed to break down the psychological defense line of the Eastern Zhou soldiers in an instant.
I don't know who was the first to lay down his arms. It's just that the sound of "dangchang" rings in everyone's heart. The sound of discarding weapons rang out. There was also the angry scolding of the captain at the beginning. There were even screams of swords swinging and killing, but to no avail. The Eastern Zhou army was already frightened, and a few lieutenants were unable to stop the flow of fleeing people.
After killing a few people in a row, the captains who still wanted to resist did not give up and go with the flow. It was besieged to death by the relatives of the deceased, and the scene was indescribably chaotic. The city walls were full of soldiers who were swarming towards the horse road. At this time, it is safer to take off the number one and return home. Qin Jun asked, and he didn't admit that he was the Eastern Zhou Army.
The Eastern Zhou army originally only had a thousand people. Captain Sili is ready to fight to the death on the city wall. Unexpectedly, such a situation occurred, and the team of more than 1,000 people dispersed in a hurry. It seemed like it was just a moment. The city wall, where there were still sparse soldiers standing, became empty, and there was not even a single flag left.
The only two guys left were Captain Si Li and Dong Zhou Jun. The two men were relatively speechless, sitting as if they were two fools. Looking at the sky full of dark clouds, they all knew that the Eastern Zhou Kingdom was over. The Eastern Zhou Kingdom, which lasted for 78 years, has come to an end today.
Both men seemed to have lost the ability to speak, and just sat quietly. Listen to the cry of the north wind, and listen to the wailing of the city gates. They are still alive, but their hearts are dead. What remains in this world is only a shell.
Those few deadbolts finally couldn't withstand the huge impact, and the broken lines expanded little by little. The black wood reveals the yellowish stubble inside, and there seems to be a ring of annual rings between the faults.
The cave in the city gate was empty, and the ground was full of banners of blades. There were also the clothes that were taken off, and the dust fell on them. In the end, those few door bolts could no longer hold on, and the sinking Eastern Zhou Kingdom finally perished.
Thousands of Qin troops cheered and rushed in through the broken city gates. has never fought such a battle, and the lazy Hou Ye doesn't seem to be bad. The battle was fought, but not one died. Except for rushing too hard and trampling on each other and injuring a few guys, there were almost no casualties in the whole battle.
Yun Yue rode the carriage and drove into the Eastern Zhou City. When the wheel ran over the banner of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty on the ground, Yun Yue himself didn't know that he had not only traveled through history but also created history.
In the Great Zhou, which lasted for more than 800 years, the only branch has become extinct. The world has entered the era of princely disputes, and the Spring and Autumn Period officially ended and the world entered the Warring States.
As soon as the carriage approached the city gate, two men fell in front of the city gate. He almost startled the horse pulling the cart, but Qi Qi pulled the reins vigorously, which made the somewhat irritable horse a little quieter.
The Eastern Zhou Jun fulfilled the last self-esteem of the royal family surnamed Da Zhou Ji, and he did not choose to live in the world. Instead, he chose to die like a man, followed by the loyal Captain Sili. He is worthy of the high-ranking officials in his lifetime, and perhaps he is the last loyal minister of the Great Zhou.
The two men died horribly, and the broken bones pierced out of their bodies. Even punctured the bloated clothes, and the mouths of the two people were foaming with blood. A piece of snow in front of the city gate was dyed red, white pure, red and dazzling. At this moment, the cold wind is blowing, and the snow is white and blood red!
Yun Yue glanced at it and said softly: "Thick burial!" Then he got into the warm car, but he didn't pick up the copper flask on the table.
It was he who forced them to death, and Yun Yue was too lazy to look at the corpse and shed a few crocodile tears. Tell some words that you feel are hypocritical, and comfort the departed.
"Yunhou, you should say goodbye to Dongzhou Jun. After all, he was also the titular king of Great Qin. If this matter is mentioned in the future, I am afraid it will be detrimental to your reputation, brother! The old fisher looked at Yun Yue and hesitated to say what he thought. He is now a worshipper of the Yun family, so he naturally has to plan for the interests of the main family. In a sense, reputation is also a benefit.
"I drove them to death, and now I comfort them. This is not both doing ** and setting up archways, hypocrisy is not hypocritical! Yun Yue was a little inexplicably irritable, and this feeling of palpitations began in the morning. Something seemed to be happening, but he didn't know what it was.
"Then Yunhou did this, didn't he concentrate on ** forgetting to set up the archway?"
"Nima ......!" Yun Yue scolded all of a sudden. This old bastard, every sentence made Yun Yue grind her teeth with hatred.
In the sound of Yun Yue's teeth grinding, he still stepped out of the warm carriage. Walking to the side of the two corpses, I perfectly interpreted the process of making a ** archway, and then I stopped.
The Qin army that entered the city was like a wolf entering the flock, and every household in the Eastern Zhou City was closed. I don't know how many pairs of eyes looked out in horror in the crack of the door, not knowing what this great general of the Qin State was going to do.
There are many legends about the horror of the Qin army, who carried human heads in their hands and live prisoners under their armpits to hunt down and kill the fleeing enemy soldiers. Hearing these rumors, the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty trembled.
"Herald! Soldiers entering the city shall not wantonly kill people. The palace of the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was taken over by Ao Canghai. No one else is allowed to enter, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! "Yun Yue issued another military order, and the military discipline of the Qin army is strict. This does not mean that they will not loot, and in a short period of time, several fires have been lit in the city. Smoke billowed up into the sky, as if to connect with the dark clouds.
Xianyang, Yunjia Zhuangzi.
"Young lady, work hard! Keep it up! "The midwife's head was covered with sweat.
"Blood! Why did there come out with so much blood, quickly think of a way to die like this. "My aunt jumped to the side.
"Mr. Bian Que, please!" A shrill cry rang out, and chaos erupted in the delivery room. Qimei noticed that Ulan's hands no longer seemed to be warm. (To be continued......)
