951 Mutiny

"In other words, you are forced." The lieutenant asked calmly.

"Yes. We are all forced. We don't want to come to war. We also have an old mother at home. There are also wives and children. We still have some fields. However, in the past two years. The state of Qi has been at war. People are constantly being conscripted into battle. Many people were beaten to death and did not come back. These damn weapons. It costs people's lives. As long as it is hit. There is basically no way to live. Another soldier said. What the soldiers of the Qi army said is indeed the truth. The Qi army lacked surgical equipment, and once a soldier was shot, he was shot. Basically, there is only one way to die. Because no one will take out the bullets. Even if he survived, he would have been amputated, or he would slowly decay. In the end, he committed suicide.

"You're in such a bad situation." The lieutenant replied.

"Alright. Give them a little more food. I don't think they have eaten for days. The lieutenant said at this time.

"Yes, sir." As he spoke, some soldiers shook their heads and pulled out some cans for the prisoners of war.

"Sir, we don't have to." A corporal came up and said.

"It is necessary. There are many more Qi soldiers who will surrender. They were just forced to helpless. The lieutenant said.

The lieutenant then reported his report and thoughts to the above. Action was quick to take place from above.

Because. The battle of the day showed. The resistance of the Qi soldiers was still relatively strong. Especially in this environment. The soldiers of the Zhao army were very unaccustomed to it, there was rubble everywhere, and there were a lot of debris. Such a harsh combat environment made the soldiers of the Zhao army, who were accustomed to field warfare, feel very uncomfortable, especially the resistance of the Qi army. Their resistance was uncertain, and Zhao Jun himself was not sure what kind of people they would meet on their way forward. In what position to shoot at them. This kind of uncertain street fighting made the Zhao soldiers very unbearable.

It's not just Zhao Jun. Even the Yan army, which also invaded the city, was not adaptable.

"Everywhere there are bullets fired by the Qi army. We could only slowly move forward on the ground, and even then, one of our soldiers' head was opened, and all around us were shooting, bullets coming in all directions. I don't have anything I can do about it. A lieutenant of the Yan Army wrote in his diary.

"In desperation, I had no choice but to order our coming to shoot wildly and suppressively at the positions where they were firing. Then we will feel a little better, and then we will concentrate a certain amount of troops to capture the buildings. Those buildings are full of enemies. The battle was fierce. The lieutenant wrote.

In fact, the battle was much more intense than the lieutenant wrote. Whether it is Yan Jun or Zhao Jun. They all had to go through extremely brutal hand-to-hand combat to capture a building. Even if they captured the building, the price they paid would be high. There are times. Qi forces will set fire to large bundles of explosives. Casualties and losses will rise a lot all at once.

"According to what we know up to date. The soldiers of the Qi army were reluctant to fight, they were only forced by the officers. A captain Zhao Jun reported.

"Those Qi combat units that have lost their officers will soon surrender, and I think we will try to see if we can persuade them to surrender. It is better to have their officers and their soldiers surrender together. The captain said.

"Yes." Major General Zhao Jun just nodded.

"I think we can get those Qi soldiers to start a riot of their own accord. So they killed the officers after surrendering. We'll be able to do it easily. Colonel Yan Jun suggested.

"That's a good idea, I think it's a good idea." said the major general.

"Then do it." The colonel said.

Subsequently, Zhao Jun and Yan Jun changed some strategies.

"Brothers of the Qi Army. Surrender. The Allies offer good food here. A captive of the Qi army, who had eaten well after surrendering, shouted loudly. Because of the full meal, his complexion has obviously improved.

"Brethren. The Allies have good food here. There is meat to eat. Meat is eaten at every meal. And good wine. Qin wine is really delicious. The Qi soldiers shouted loudly at their own people.

Behind him stood the soldiers of the Zhao army, who were holding their weapons and quietly watching the Qi prisoner.

"Brothers, don't die for those noble lords. They don't treat us as human beings at all. Look at the Allied forces. For those who are to eat, there is meat, and wine to drink. The wounded soldiers we surrendered were treated. Look at us, those aristocratic lords don't treat us as human beings at all, they shoot us with guns at will. The wounded were killed by our own officers. The Qi soldier shouted loudly in the direction of his own people.

Hear something like that. The psychological defense line of the soldiers of the Qi army has been shaken. The continuous brutal fighting had already made the Qi soldiers wonder if this war was worth their continued fighting.

Some Qi soldiers looked at their officers at this time. Because the shooting of the wounded did happen. Because there are no antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs. Many of the wounded of the Qi army will rot in their wounds. In the end, it was death. And the whole process was very uncomfortable. The wails of the wounded were enough to terrify many soldiers. In order to dispel such thoughts. Officers would secretly execute some of the wounded, but such executions were nothing new for the soldiers. They know what the officers are doing. And they all know that such a thing will come to their heads one day. But there's no way they can do that. Because they are just soldiers.

Those officers were nobles. In the tradition of the army of the Qi State. Officers have knighthoods, and titles are hereditary. In other words, you don't have any merit. You can still be an officer. Even if you're a coward, you're still an officer. And those who have military merits, although they have military merits. But only a few small officer positions were obtained, and such positions were for the whole operation. It's still insignificant. Because there are still people who will die.

It can be said that the aristocracy has a monopoly on everything. No matter how well those soldiers behaved, they had no chance of being promoted. And it comes at a heavy cost in human life. This is also the reason why the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was so strong before, and the army of the six countries could not be compared with the Qin army. There were no opportunities for promotion, and the nobility monopolized all power and treatment, and there was a lack of fairness between the upper and lower levels. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the six countries is generally not high. Because of the morale of the soldiers, the desire to fight is not high.

"There is no way out of a fight like ours." The soldier then shouted.

And the Qi soldiers who were still fighting turned their heads to look at the Qi army officer.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. We're going to keep fighting. Loyal to our King of Qi. Only in this way can we realize our value. As he spoke, the Qi officer picked up his rifle and began to shoot in that direction.

"Bang." A bullet was fired.

"Poof." The bullet hit directly on the mound behind the Qi soldier. The Qi soldiers were not hit.

"Go on." This time. A second lieutenant of Zhao Jun whispered.

"Say what?" The Qi soldier lowered his body and said.

"What to say. As long as you can get your people to surrender. You'll definitely have to eat. The second lieutenant assured.

"Brother Qi Jun, see it." The Qi soldiers shouted loudly.

"You have to promise it." As he spoke, the Qi soldiers stopped shouting and asked.

"Definitely, shout. Come. Get him two cans. The second lieutenant was afraid that the other party would be worried, so he directly asked someone to give two cans. There are many more such canned Zhao soldiers. A lot of this food was produced in the rear of the Qin state.

"Good. I'm going to shout. He said. Qi soldiers began to resume psychological warfare.

"Brothers, see it. The aristocratic lords are on fire. I said what was in his heart. We fought for them like this, and what did we get in the end. The Qi soldiers shouted loudly.

"None of us have an old family. We die. Who will take care of them? The Qi soldiers shouted loudly.

"Bang. I'll kill you. "This time. The Qi officers were even angrier. Because, it is easy to shake the morale of the army.

Bullets kept coming this way. But the Qi soldiers were still shouting.

"Look, the noble lord was right by me. If we surrender, we will be killed by them. We are all poor, we poor people should not care about their aristocratic lords, let's kill the aristocratic lords and surrender. The Qi soldier proposed at this time.

"Bang." The aristocratic officers were still firing.

"He's right." This time. A wounded Qi soldier said with a struggle.

"I'm going to live. These noble lords, why should we give them their lives. The wounded soldier shouted.

"You traitor." The aristocratic officer turned around and scolded loudly.

"I shot you." As he spoke, the officer pulled out his rifle.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out. The officer shot the wounded soldier directly. The wounded soldier's head was smashed to pieces. Blood splattered everywhere.

The hearts of the Qi soldiers were cold at this time.

"Let's surrender. Killed the officer. We surrender. There is food to eat and wine to drink. The Allies also gave us quilt covers. Well fed. Dress well. Surrender, brothers. The Qi soldiers shouted loudly. It was as if he saw all this to make the Qi soldiers mutiny.

"Kill." When a soldier saw that the officer had shot his own man, he immediately rushed over.

"Go back. Fight. "The officer tried to persuade. But the soldier rushed straight over. Fell with the officer.

The other soldiers on the side hadn't reacted to what was going on.

"Traitor." The officer scolded loudly.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out. The soldier was shot.

"To stay alive. Hit. The soldiers who were standing were relieved at this time. Pull the trigger.

"Bang bang." The other soldiers pulled the trigger together.
