Chapter 112: Claiming the Emperor (Part II)
November, Luojing City.
Judging from the map of the main world, the location of this Luojing is Luoyang, the ancient capital of several dynasties, three hundred years ago, the Taizu of the Great Qi set the capital here, and the business expansion for many generations, the scale is magnificent, and it is a giant city in the world.
And Yanshi City is located on the north bank of Luoshui, the south of the big river, the north of the mountains such as Songgao and Shaomu, the upstream is Luojing, and the downstream is a hundred miles away from the tiger prison, which is the strategic fortress of Gongwei Luojing.
Now Yanshi and Tiger Prison have fallen under the control of the Chu army, and the water division has also reached Luoshui through the Yellow River, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, and the former Great Qi Emperor has become an isolated city.
The royal camp of the king of Chu arrived at the city of Luojing the day before yesterday, and waited until the other troops and horses came to converge one after another, so far all the preparations before the siege had been completed.
Although the Great Qi court has decayed, there are still 50,000 city defense troops stationed in the city, plus the temporarily mobilized young people, it is not a problem to gather more than 100,000. If the city is held to the death and the resistance is resolute, it will not be too easy to take it.
Early the next morning.
The army drove out of the camp surrounded by the chariot of the king of Chu and gathered under the city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in bright armor lined up, all over the mountains and fields, and the momentum was terrifying.
In the low drum beat, the majestic and magnificent military formation slowly came, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, crossbow soldiers, and guards cavalry, the array was tight, and the army was at its peak.
Luojing City has not encountered a war in the past hundred years, and the soldiers defending the city on the city wall have never seen such a scene, and suddenly everyone's faces are like earth, and their hearts are timid.
At this moment, the thirteen-year-old little emperor, accompanied by several auxiliary ministers, was observing the enemy situation in the city, and when he saw such a shocking scene, everyone couldn't help but turn pale and be relatively speechless.
“…… What's going on in those states? ”
Zhao Yuan stood on the car and asked Zhao Fengdao. At this critical moment, no one wants variables to appear, if those princes take this opportunity to send troops to intervene, the Chu army's plan to take Luojing as soon as possible will be affected.
"Wang, Ye Mingce, Li Wencong, Du Shan and others are all busy attacking the city at the moment, and I am afraid that they will not be able to pull away in a short time. The only thing to worry about is that Khotan, which is in Bingzhou, has already taken refuge in the Hu royal court, and the Hu prince Harbu led 80,000 elite cavalry to enter Bingzhou, which may be detrimental to our army......"
Zhao Feng was in charge of the confidential matters of the Chu State, so the king inquired and immediately reported it in detail.
Zhao Yuanjin frowned slightly, and then his expression relaxed, this news is not good, but the entire territory of Bingzhou has not been completely taken, and the Hu people want to reach out to Luojing, but it is still difficult to do it in a short time.
If the war drags on for a long time, these wolves watching from the sidelines will naturally have a mind. Of course, as long as the Chu army can enter and occupy Luojing as soon as possible, the strategic initiative will be completely in hand, and there will be no fear of any foreign interference.
"How long does the national teacher think it will take for our army to take Luojing?" Zhao Yuanjin looked at Qin Feng next to him and asked politely.
"You can do it today." Qin Feng said indifferently.
"Could it be that the national teacher thinks that the little emperor in Luojing City will take the initiative to lead hundreds of officials to surrender?" Zhao Yuanjin was a little surprised.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't surrender, as long as he blows this city gate open, the army will naturally be able to enter the city." Qin Feng smiled slightly.
With absolute strength in hand, no matter what kind of reaction the enemy has, it is actually no longer important.
No matter how strong the gate of Luojing City is, it doesn't matter if it is even sealed directly, with the power of RPG-29, it will be settled with more than a dozen shots, and I don't believe that this gate can be carried better than the main battle tank.
Zhao Yuanjin put his mind at ease, so he asked people to come forward and shout to persuade him to surrender.
A guard general rode out of the battle, galloped to the city wall, and shouted: "Listen in the city, my lord has inherited the mandate of heaven, and now he has exhausted the land of Jiangnan, Bashu, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou, and he will be able to level the world in a few days!" Luojing has become a lonely city, give you an hour to consider, if you don't surrender the city, it is inevitable that the city will be ruined when the city is broken, you must not make mistakes. ”
"How unreasonable!"
In the city, a fourth-grade civil official had a blue face, and he gritted his teeth and whispered. It's just a group of rebels, but now they dare to make a big splash in this imperial capital, unscrupulous, how could it be done by courtiers?
The ministers looked at each other, the Chu army was strong, and the hearts of the people in the city were fluctuating, and this battle to defend the city was not easy to fight. Besides, the other party is right, Luojing is already a lonely city, even if he barely holds on for a while, what can he do?
The number of Qi Qi is exhausted, which is a fact that no one can ignore. For the sake of his own net worth and future, maybe surrendering the city is a more timely choice?
Yu Gui, the new chief assistant, coughed, and said with a lonely expression: "Everyone, it is no secret that there are giant trebuchets accompanying the Chu army array, and Xiangyang City was attacked by this thing in one fell swoop. Luojing City's defense may be stronger than Xiangyang's, but it can't last long. ”
He looked at the silent crowd and continued: "There is not much grain and grass left in the city, there are no reinforcements outside, and what is even more terrifying is that the national teacher of the Chu State is in the army at the moment, if he personally takes action, what chance can our army have?" ”
There was a dead silence at the scene, and several young civil officials who had been looking angry were silent.
Last time, Qin Feng made trouble in the imperial city, slaughtered thousands of Lin Wei and a large number of masters with his own strength, and finally entered the inner hall, resulting in the death of the first emperor. Later, he looted in the imperial city, emptied the entire treasury and left calmly.
Such a great shame and humiliation, the dignified Qi court was helpless afterwards, and could only knock out teeth and swallow blood.
Now that hundreds of thousands of Chu troops are coming, how can they resist with only this little capital in the city?
"In Yu Gong's opinion, can I only surrender?" One asked.
"For the sake of the people in the city, this matter can only be like this." Yu Gui said expressionlessly.
The ministers were silent again, but some of them had a twinkle in their eyes, apparently moved by their thoughts. Since the general trend is inviolable, of course, one's own net worth and future are more important.
Yu Gui secretly sneered in his heart, if he wanted to say that there were no traitors in these guys, he wouldn't believe it. In the past month or so, there have been more than one or two officials and families in the entire city, and there are more than one or two secret exchanges with the Chu State.
If you make up your mind to resist, maybe you will be stabbed in the back by some guys in the middle of the fight, and you will take your head to ask the king of Chu for a reward.
“…… You bastards, even if you are a seller seeking glory, you have to be qualified to sell it, how can you sell it? He cursed in his heart.
Under the city.
The Chu army has already lined up in formation, ten return artillery pieces have been put in place, and a large number of siege equipment such as arrow cars, building cars, and earth dragon vehicles have been pushed to the edge of the battlefield one after another. As the minutes ticked by, the tension of the imminent war had grown.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to conquer such a huge city, the price that the besieging side needs to pay is at least hundreds of thousands, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Of course, Qin Feng doesn't plan to drag it out like this, he now has some world authority, not to mention more, at least he can use all kinds of high-tech weapons at will without worrying about adverse consequences.
Therefore, as long as the war is together, he will intervene with the most brutal and drastic means, and will never let the defenders in the city have the slightest luck mentality.
Seeing that the time was close to noon, Zhao Yuanjin slowly got up and prepared to give the order to attack the city.
That's when it happened. I only heard a bang in the distance, and the gate of Luojing City was wide open.
The leader is the little emperor, who is no longer wearing the emperor's crown dress at this moment, but has changed into a plain white robe, with a thorn strip on his back, holding the golden book of the national seal in his hand, his expression is gloomy, followed by a large group of civil and military officials and nobles.
In fact, after the young man ascended the throne, he was a puppet, and there was no room for him to speak about anything, and the ministers decided to inform him of the results later. He just had to do it. It's like this surrender of the city, as soon as a few old guys put it together, they sold the foundation of the Great Qi Dynasty cleanly, packed up their mood and prepared to serve the new monarch and serve the new dynasty.
Around the car, the generals of the Chu State saw the surrender in the city, and they invariably breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but they also had a little regret.
Of course, it is good to be able to surrender without dying and without fighting, but in this way, there will be no military merits to earn, and it is really impossible to say which result is better.
Not long after, a team of personal soldiers led the little emperor and the civil and military officials of the Great Qi Dynasty to the Chinese army, and they all knelt down and bowed their heads to plead guilty.
Zhao Yuanjin personally went over to take over the national seal, helped up the little emperor, comforted him a few words, and said to the ministers behind him: "Zhuqing, please get up, you are all the talents of the country, this time you can know the destiny of heaven and conform to the general trend, how can you be treated poorly?" In the future, the affairs of the world will depend a lot on your families. ”
This is to show that the past is not to blame, and the stone in the hearts of the ministers fell to the ground, and they immediately bowed their heads and bowed again.
Subsequently, the army entered the city, took over the defense of various places, and only after controlling the situation in the city, Zhao Yuanjin's car drove into the city gate under the arch guard of the Yulin Forbidden Army, and headed towards the imperial city.
