"Zhang Chaoyang, Zhang Qingfeng, surrender, if you don't want Quanyang City to turn into a sea of fire, and don't want millions of people in the city to struggle to die in the flames, open the city gate and surrender to my Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom. ”

The Spring and Autumn Army did not continue to fire the Flame Bomb, and the voice of the Aquarius King came out of the giant scorpion through the sound transmission array.

"Surrender?"

Zhang Chaoyang sneered and said, "Aquarius King, can you use your brains? 400,000 elite soldiers can't even capture Quanyang City, which is defended by my 30,000 people, are you embarrassed to say that I will surrender to Da Zhou? Are you ashamed when you say this? I blush for you." ”

The god of war of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not only the strongest of the Great Zhou, but also not only reflected in the arrangement of troops, marching and fighting, and being good at using all favorable conditions to suppress the opponent and inspire his own army, which is the foundation of Zhang Chaoyang's invincibility.

Take these few sentences as an example, the words poked at the sore spot of the Spring and Autumn Army.

Because at the end of the day, the 400,000 troops of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom did not capture Quanyang City, which was guarded by 30,000 tiger and leopard soldiers.

Of course, everyone knows that the reason why Quanyang City has been able to persist until now is inseparable from the support of hundreds of thousands of people, and the magic circle laid by the Tang Guoshi with the disciples of Tianzhaomen has also played an important role that cannot be ignored, and the Qin clan's sky-catching net has also helped kill thousands of people.

But no one will say these details on this occasion, after all, this is a battlefield, not a shrew, and in the future history books of the Central Plains, it will only be recorded that Zhang Chaoyang led 30,000 Zhou troops to resist the undefeated 400,000 troops of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom. Of course, the history books are all written by the victors, and Zhang Chaoyang must survive first.

"Old God of War, I don't think this kind of war of words is necessary, right? This king respects your loyalty and courage, so he has not used the chariot of the Hellfire until now, and the reason why he did not immediately burn the city is because he sympathizes with the people of Dazhou, and feels that they should not become victims of war, and they all say that the Marquis of Wu'an loves the people like a son, do you really bear to watch these innocent people die in the fire? This king can promise you that as long as you disarm and surrender, this king will never harm a single grass or tree in the city, and every person in the city will be treated the same as the people of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is a matter of life and death for millions of people. ”

It has to be said that the conditions proposed by the Aquarius King are extremely tempting, at least for the people in the city, it is an irresistible temptation.

War, that's just a game of power, ordinary people just want food to eat, clothes to cover their bodies, as long as they can live well, who rules the Great Zhou is not to rule?

Zhang Chaoyang can spare his life, and the Haw Par Legion can be loyal to the country, which is the duty of soldiers, but none of them have the right to decide the life and death of millions of people in Quanyang City.

They can't decide, so they can only let the people choose for themselves.

Hearing these words, Zhang Chaoyang slowly turned his head and looked at the dense people of Quanyang on the city wall, and wanted to say something.

But before he could speak, an old voice with a hoarse voice sounded first.

"Master Hou!"

It was an old man with a white beard, he was carrying a firewood knife in his hand, half of his clothes were stained red with blood, although he looked like he was over seventy years old, he was in excellent spirits, he was old and strong, and he was still a cultivator of the Eight Heavens of the Zhou Heaven Realm.

"Little Old Man knows what you have to say. ”

"But the ambition of the wolf son of the ancient country in the Spring and Autumn Period is too much to bully people, relying on the strength of the soldiers and the horses, and committing my big Zhou!"

"And you also said that the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are the most ignorant, they have been persecuted by the Emperor of the First Dynasty for decades, and they don't know how to resist, but my people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are also the most fearless!

"In the past fifty years, my people of Da Zhou have been blessed by you, and they have lived a good life for fifty years, and now that the national disaster is at hand, do you want us to be cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"In today's battle, we must let the robbers of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom polish their dog's eyes and see clearly! There is only a god of war in the Great Zhou! There are no cowards! We would rather die in battle than surrender!"

"Yes, we don't be cowards!"

"We would rather die than surrender!"

"Never surrender!"

......

With the call of the white-haired old man, the surrounding people responded one after another, and the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people finally turned into a sound that shattered the sky.

Zhang Chaoyang closed his eyes, and two lines of hot tears rolled down the wrinkled corners of his eyes.

Thirty years.

Since following the emperor to raise troops, he has never cried.

The eldest son died in battle, and he did not cry.

The second son was pierced by random arrows, and he did not cry.

The third son died without a body, and he did not cry.

Even his only grandson, Zhang Qingfeng, was robbed of his bones and became a waste, but he did not leave a single tear.

Now.

Hearing the shouts of the people in the city, he could no longer control his tears, thirty years of forbearance, thirty years of grievances, it seemed that he was waiting for this day.

It's worth it.

It's all worth it.

Sacrificing my Zhang Chaoyang family, achieving tens of millions of iron bones, not afraid of power, and would rather die than give in, what a cost-effective deal is this?

The Aquarius King, who originally wanted to take advantage of the weakness of the people's greed for life and death to break the morale of the defenders, saw this scene, and the expression on his face gradually became difficult to see.

He never thought that in the desperate situation of certain death, the people of Da Zhou not only did not give in, but inspired a fighting spirit that they had never had before.

Are they not afraid of death?

"Lord Wang, let's do it. ”

The magician's voice came from the side.

"Today's situation, as expected, if you can't take Quanyang City before dawn, and wait for the reinforcements from Qin and Datang to arrive, then it will be our soldiers who will die. ”

"Magician. ”

The Aquarius King did not look back, his eyes stared at the people of the Great Zhou who were close to the demons on the opposite city wall through the viewing window of the giant scorpion, and said slowly.

"That's not what I want to see, it's millions of lives! Is it worth it to take so many lives for that thing?"

The magician's expression was solemn, and he was about to reply, when he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently, and it took a long time to stop.

"Of course it's worth it, mortals are stupid, they only see three inches of profit in front of them, and they don't look at the five buckets of gold in the future, if they can't do that thing as soon as possible, not to mention the small Zhou Kingdom, the entire Central Plains Seven Kingdoms are afraid that they will become a hell on earth!

"Yes, Da Zhou must die. ”

The Aquarius King finally relented, and a chill gradually appeared in his eyes.

The magician sighed lightly and muttered: "It's a pity that the old man's injuries have not healed, otherwise, why use the Hellfire Chariot to break the city?" Zhang Chaoyang, you can have so many loyal subordinates to bury you, in this life, you are also worth it." ”

The Aquarius King slowly raised his right hand and looked at the defenders on the opposite wall, his palm gently pressing towards a magic circle in front of him that emitted a dark red light.

This circle is connected to hundreds of chariots of the Dark Fire around it, and as long as the palm of the Aquarius King is pressed on the circle, ten thousand cannons will be fired in unison, and only one salvo is needed to turn the opposite wall into a sea of fire.

"Wait a minute. ”

But just as the palm of the Aquarius King pressed on the magic circle, Zhang Qingfeng, who had been silent, suddenly shouted.
