Chapter 199: The Threat of Indifference
As more and more Qin soldiers climbed the city wall, the will to fight of the defenders of Diqiu City was constantly disintegrated, and in less than half an hour, the entire southern wall of Diqiu City was occupied by the Qin army.
With the passage of time, as the last Emperor Qiu defender in the city gate cave put down his weapons in despair, the city gate of the southern city of Emperor Hill City was controlled by the Qin army, and Gongsun Yu, Jing Ke and others outside the city gate finally waited for the city gate to open, but unfortunately, it was not the defenders of Emperor Hill City who opened the city gate, but their enemies.
Looking at Yang Ming who appeared in the city, Gongsun Yu felt a deep despair, Emperor Qiu City, he was originally going to protect it, but he not only failed to protect it, but instead helped its destroyer.
If it weren't for his risky plan to go out of the city to attack the Qin army, how could the Qin army seize the opportunity, thinking of this, Gongsun Yu, who had been seriously injured by Yang Ming, turned even paler, and the short sword he took from a guard soldier couldn't help but tremble.
To this day, the only thing is death.
It's just that Jing Ke shouldn't die here, if we all die here, how can Li'er live alone. At the last moment of his life, Gongsun Yu thought of his granddaughter, his only relative, Gongsun Li.
"General Gongsun, put down the sword in your hand at this time, or you may be able to leave a life." Yang Ming, who completely controlled the city gate and the city wall in his hands, spoke.
"It's just an old life, and time is running out, so why be greedy for a while, regardless of the name of eternal death." Gongsun Yu straightened his waist, although his body was disabled, his fighting spirit had not diminished, but because he had the will to die, the sword qi in his body became more and more ruthless.
"The name behind you is too illusory for you, but these people around you are all living people, if you die, Ben will guarantee that these people around you will be killed, and it can be regarded as a martyrdom for General Gongsun." Yang Ming threatened.
"They are my soldiers who defend the country, they died for the country, and they died as they deserved." Gongsun Yu had already rushed towards Yang Ming as he spoke.
But Yang Ming didn't mean to fight alone with him at this time, with a wave of his hand, several rows of archers behind him had already fired arrows in unison, and in the city gate with limited space, Gongsun Yu and the guards and soldiers beside him had no room to dodge at all, although they struggled to dance the weapons in their hands to block the arrows, but in an instant, dozens of people had fallen under the arrows.
Under the chaotic arrows of the Qin army, the guards and soldiers around Gongsun Yu continued to decrease, and after courage briefly dominated reason, when timidity once again dominated their nerves, finally some of the guards collapsed.
"I surrender, I surrender, spare my life, spare my life." Beside Gongsun Yu, someone put down the weapon in his hand and knelt on the ground in despair.
And Yang Ming waved his hand to stop the Qin army's arrow array.
"If you surrender, drop your weapon, put your head in your hands, walk along the sides, and take the initiative to come out." Yang Ming said.
As Yang Ming's words fell, Gongsun Yu's side sounded a clanging sound, endlessly, and in an instant, more than 100 people had dropped their weapons and walked towards the Qin army against the wall of the city gate.
Gongsun Yu looked at the soldiers who surrendered, and didn't want to say anything, they were all warriors who defended the country, but because of their own incompetence, they were brought into a desperate situation, they wanted to live, there was nothing to blame, what could he blame.
Looking at the few scattered figures left around him, Gongsun Yu gave up completely, and waved the bronze short sword in his hand to ask himself, so as not to be humiliated.
"General Gongsun, how many friends do you have in the city?" Yang Ming asked suddenly.
"What do you want?" The bronze short sword in Gongsun Yu's hand paused, and he thought of a bad possibility.
"It's too lonely for you to go on the road alone, I might as well send some of your relatives and friends to go on the road with you, can you have a thousand relatives and friends? If there is, send a thousand people on your way, so that it can be a little more lively. Yang Ming said lightly, but the content of it made people feel a biting chill.
The so-called threat does not necessarily have to be hoarseness, but it can also be like Yang Ming, who uses the most insipid and indifferent tone to say the most cruel words in the world.
"You?" Gongsun Yu pointed at Yang Ming, his gray beard trembled violently in anger, and his already seriously injured body could no longer support it under the three-point return to vitality, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he almost wanted to fall.
"I've heard that you also have a granddaughter, although she is young, but she is quite captivating, but she is still ......unknown in the boudoir," Yang Ming continued.
"What do you want to do?" Jing Ke was furious when he heard this, and was about to draw his sword to kill Yang Ming, but he was stopped by Gongsun Yu.
Gongsun Yu looked at Yang Ming, he knew that Yang Ming's threat was not just words, but that he would really do that, for a while, Gongsun Yu was shaken, although he himself was not afraid of death, but what he could call the shots was only his own life, he was not qualified to decide the life and death of others, if it was because of himself, countless people were implicated in life and death, even after death, it was difficult to get rest.
If he heard that people would go to another world after death, how would they deal with it if they saw people who had died because of their involvement?
"You ......" Gongsun Yu pointed at Yang Ming, trying his best to suppress his anger and despair with reason.
"That's it, that's it, the old man has descended." Gongsun Yu dropped the bronze short sword in his hand, and also the belief that supported him.
When the time came to dusk, the outer city of Diqiu City was completely controlled by the Qin army, and only Weijun Palace had not yet been captured.
Among the Qin army that moved to the tower of Emperor Hill City, Yang Ming took off the battle armor on his body, and a red sword wound on his chest was oozing blood, and the underwear he threw aside was already stained red with blood.
If it was an ordinary wound, it would have already recovered under the strong recovery ability of the Three-Point Returning Vitality, but in the wound under the Hundred-Step Flying Sword, there were wisps of intractable sword qi and sword intent that were fighting against the recovery of the Three-Point Returning Vitality.
"A hundred steps flying sword? I have seen it today, and I will have the opportunity to see it again in the future. Yang Ming smiled, and then reached out to wipe the deep and shallow wound.
Since it is difficult to eliminate the wounds caused by the hundred-step flying sword with the passive recovery of three points of vitality, it is not too difficult for Yang Ming to take the initiative to heal the injuries and remove the sword qi and sword intent.
Under the front of the Qin army, the once prosperous city of Diqiu has fallen into a strange atmosphere, the city is dark, even the eunuchs and magnates who like to drink and indulge all night have put away their hobbies, and are waiting for tomorrow in fear and anxiety.
"General Zuo, can you attack the Weijun Palace tomorrow?" Wang Qian, who had returned from the inspection, walked into the city gate tower and asked Yang Ming.
"What do you mean by General Wang?" Yang Ming, who had changed into a clean shirt again, asked.
"Wei Jun is not a backbone person, under the pressure of heavy troops, he will take the initiative to surrender, we don't have to storm Wei Jun Palace, this can also reduce casualties and destruction." Wang Jian said.
"Fewer casualties is a good reason, but less damage is not what I want." Yang Ming looked at Wang Jian and said.
"Why is that?" Wang Jian was surprised.
Yang Ming wants to destroy this Emperor Hill City? There is no reason to support Yang Ming to do this.
In Wang Qian's observation, Yang Ming is not a murderous person, how can he dislike the destruction of too little?
"Conquering the Patriotic Nation is not just about capturing their city, capturing the city is just the beginning." Yang Ming said.
"We still want to establish an order that belongs to our Qin State in Diqiu City, and if we want to establish a new order that belongs to our Qin State, we can only destroy the old order." Yang Ming said.
"Back then, the Wei State intervened in the Wei Kingdom, imprisoned the Wei Ancestor and established the current Wei Jun, this is the rule set by the Wei State in Diqiu City, not the order of our Qin State."
"And this is the opportunity we can take advantage of, to take revenge on the Emperor of the Patriotic Empire, to eliminate half of the powerful people in Emperor Hill City, and then to support some of the forces loyal to us, so that we can completely occupy Emperor Hill City." Yang Ming stated his ultimate goal.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid the killing will be quite heavy." Wang Jian reminded.
What Yang Ming is going to do next is beyond what a general should do, if there is an opportunity for the imperial history to attack, then Yang Ming is really suspected of overstepping.
"When a country is destroyed, someone must be martyred for it, if we think about everything and think of you, I'm good, everyone, then what do you want our army to do?" Yang Ming said nonchalantly.
Diqiu City, the land connects the north and the south, such a place naturally has to be completely incorporated into the ruling order of the Qin State, and the occupation of the city is only the beginning of the establishment of the ruling order of the Qin State.
On the second day, just when Wei Jun wanted to surrender, the Qin army brazenly launched an attack, and even the monarch was ready to surrender The will to fight of the defenders of the Wei Jun Palace can be imagined, after a small number of loyal and brave men were destroyed by the Qin army with absolute strength, the attack launched from the morning, less than an hour, the Wei Jun Palace fell into the control of the Qin army.
"A small patriot can build a palace of this scale." Yang Ming, who was standing in the main hall of Weijun Palace, looked at the sun that was already approaching the middle of the sky, and said to the people on the left and right.
"No matter how magnificent their cultivation is, it now belongs to our Qin State." A lieutenant from Mengwu in Dongjun spoke.
"Yes, it already belongs to our Qin State." Yang Ming groaned.
But the war is not over yet, although the city of Diqiu is vulnerable, but Zhao and Wei may not really be willing to sit back and watch the Qin army occupy the country so calmly, the war has not stopped, and the calm after the victory is to achieve the next greater victory.
At this time, hundreds of miles away from here, in Chaoge City, which originally belonged to the capital of the Wei Kingdom but was occupied by the Wei State, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers came all the way from Daliang.
The veteran of the leader raised his head and looked at Chaoge City in front of him, this is a face that Yang Ming is not unfamiliar with: Wei Guo Sikong, the general in charge of the military, Wei Yong.
