Chapter 421: Bullying the Weak with the Strong

"My father used to follow General Li Mu Yuhu and was killed by the Huns. Today, Wu'er died in the hands of the Qin people, I have no intention of living, and when the Qin army attacks the city, I should fight them to the death, if I can kill one or two, it will be regarded as revenge for my son. ”

A white-haired old man leaned against the city wall, muttering to himself.

As soon as he said this, a low cry rang out from the wall.

"The Qin people killed my son, although I am an old woman, I should not avoid life and death, and fight to the death with these Qin people."

Beside her, an old woman with a resentful face spoke, although she was small, the hatred in her eyes was no weaker than that of the old man.

The people around echoed each other, and they were all desperate words with the Qin people.

These old and weak women and children who are willing to go to the city wall to defend them, whether they are fathers, husbands, or sons, after all, someone in the family died at the hands of the Qin army, and a deep hatred has been planted, and they would rather die than avenge their families.

At this moment, someone pointed to the outside of the city and shouted: "There is a figure moving there, could it be that the Qin army is going to attack the city at night?" Do we want to warn? ”

Immediately there were shouts on the city wall, and everyone was nervous and looked out of the wall.

Several of the soldiers on duty at night put aside the women and children, and immediately ran to the wall, looking into the distance.

"Don't worry, our soldiers have few soldiers, we need to retain our physical strength in wartime, in preparation for fighting, don't be easily alarmed, let's first look at what the Qin people do, see what their purpose is?"

The officer in charge of the night was quite steady and temporarily blocked the order to warn.

Under the moonlight, he saw that the figures walking from the direction of the Qin army camp did not carry the ladder for siege, nor did they push the built siege equipment, looking at their appearance, it did not look like a siege.

After all, the city of Daicheng is tall and dangerous, and the Qin army does not bring ladders to attack the city, is this to climb the city wall with bare hands?

This is also the reason why the military officials temporarily stopped the movement of the people.

Under the gaze of the people of the city.

About one or two thousand people came out of the Qin army camp, divided into several teams, and in the middle of each team were people with strange objects in their hands and no armor.

On both sides, sword-wielding armor soldiers escorted and watched, and began to walk around Daicheng.

"Ahem...... I'm a second egg, I'm not dead, can you hear me, mother? ”

With a Dai Di speaker, it drifted towards the head of Daicheng in the wind, completely starting the offensive of the Qin army tonight.

"My wife Xiaokui is here, I am your husband's black arm, you may hear it!"

"I'm Ah Yi, did my father hear me? The Qin army did not kill us, and the Qin people said that as long as everyone did not resist, they would spare our lives and save everyone's lives......"

"Those who descend will not be killed! Preserve life and property! ”

Under the effect of a special copper horn, the voice of the captives of nearly a thousand generations floated to the city, to the city, and to the ears of countless generations.

"Ah Yuling, this dog ball, you didn't die, why don't you fight with the Qin people, but want to be the Qin people's dog! Naigong doesn't have a son like you! “

There are old men in the city, all of their hair is open, and they are angry and reprimanded.

But more often than not, there were cries of surprise.

A woman cried with joy: "Black arm, I am my wife Xiaokui, can you hear me?" ”

The old woman who was full of mouths about to fight to the death with the "Qin people to the end" just now leaned on the side of the women's wall and shouted excitedly: "Erdan, I am Ermu!" You're not dead, my son! Mother misses you! ”

There are many more people calling the names of their loved ones outside the city.

"Maverick, are you alive?"

"Stone, sound!"

……

At this moment, the generations in the city, whether or not they heard the shouts of their relatives from the noisy voices.

They all know one fact.

The Qin army did not kill the prisoners!

Their loved ones are not dead!

And as long as they surrender, they don't have to die, they can be reunited as a family.

Tens of thousands of residents in the city, tens of thousands of people died at the hands of the Qin people because of their own children, and they all had the heart to fight to the death with the Qin people. It can be said that the whole city is full of people, and under such momentum and fighting spirit, coupled with the dangerous terrain and towering city walls of Daicheng, it will definitely cause great damage to the attacking Qin army.

But now, in the call full of local sounds, the hearts of the people in the city have dispersed.

"Beat the gold and beat the drum! Cover it! ”

The military officials in charge of guarding the city wall shouted, ordering the soldiers to beat the golden drums to fight against the cries outside the city, and at the same time warn, so that the soldiers in charge of guarding the city should get up and stand at the head of the city, and be vigilant against the Qin army taking advantage of the attack.

"The Qin army had the captives shout outside the city, and their voices could reach the city. This is Zhao Tuo's heart-attacking plan. ”

Acting Prime Minister Zhao Jing and Zhao Xie and others walked up to the city, and when they saw the uncertain expressions on the faces of the women, children, and the old and weak who assisted in defending the city, they knew that something was not good.

And not only the old and weak women and children, but even the three thousand guards knew what happened just now, and their eyes were a little erratic.

Not everyone is not afraid of death, the reason why they had the intention of fighting to the death with the Qin people before was because of the generational hatred between Zhao and Qin, and secondly, they were afraid that after surrendering, the Qin army cut off their heads for military merits.

The shadow of the Battle of Changping has been lingering in the hearts of these Zhao people, and this is why they have the tendency to resist desperately.

But now, with the appearance of captives, with the voice of the Qin people "do not kill those who surrender" came to their ears.

Of the 3,000 people who had a stroke, at least some of them were cowardly.

Especially in Daicheng, there are men with families, their previous high-spirited fighting intentions were to protect their families, and now their cowardice is also not to affect their families.

"Well, what are we going to do now?"

Zhao Jing was at a loss and looked at Zhao Xie beside him, this is the leader of the young people of the Zhao family in the city today.

"We are already few people, and the Qin army has used this trick to break our army's will to fight, and now all we can do is die. As for these old and weak, since the spirit of war has been broken, staying in the city is only to disturb the position of our army, and it is also to hurt their lives in vain. Let those who do not want to defend the city go down. ”

Zhao Xie's words were full of helplessness.

At this time, after tossing in the middle of the night, the time was already dawn.

In late summer and early autumn, the sky always brightens early, and there is a twilight on the horizon.

Under Zhao Xie's order, at the head of the city, the day shouted to help the old and weak women and children who were guarding the city, and most of them really wanted to go down to the city.

"Old sheep, didn't you say that you want to fight to the death with the Qin army? How did you go down? ”

An old man scolded another old man.

The old man muttered, "I heard Wu'er's voice, Wu'er is not dead, and I don't want to fight with the Qin people." ”

"Old man, you still have the blood of my Zhao people, if you don't fight the Qin people, I will kill you first."

The old man was furious and pounced on the old sheep to beat him.

In the future of the enemy, your own family will strike first.

Such scenes occur from time to time, coupled with the fact that some people go up to the city and some people go down to the city, and the entire city wall of the city suddenly looks chaotic.

At this moment, there was a sudden beating of drums in the Qin army camp outside the city.

At the moment of chaos in Daicheng, the Qin army seized the fighter.

Countless resting black-armored soldiers came out of the camp, they lined up in an array, carrying bamboo and wooden ladders built by the army's auxiliaries overnight, and launched an attack on Daicheng.

"The hearts of the people in the city have been scattered, and now the city wall is in chaos, our army takes advantage of the situation to attack, to be prepared and unprepared, to attack the chaotic city with the pawn of order, this siege will be a battle."

"I see that every time a general fights, he must first weaken the enemy, and then attack after gathering the advantages in his hands, is this the secret of the general's victory in every battle?"

In the Qin army village, Li Shiqi looked at the offensive and defensive battles of Daicheng that had been fought in the distance, and couldn't help but praise him.

Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "What Mr. said is true, no matter what the enemy's condition is, don't underestimate the enemy." Try to concentrate all the advantages in your hands and at the same time find ways to reduce the enemy's advantage. The stronger our army is, the weaker the enemy's army will be, so this is what the soldiers call 'bullying the weak with the strong'. ”

While the two were talking, the city wall of Daicheng in the distance was in chaos and lacked defense, and was taken advantage of by the Qin army to take advantage of the situation to climb the city wall because of a charge.

"We, the children of the Zhao family, should fight to the death with the Qin people! Never back down! ”

On the city wall, Zhao Xie shouted angrily, raised the big axe in his hand to defend the city, and slashed at a Qin man who climbed the city.

"Kill! Fight with the Qin people! ”

Behind Zhao Xie, those Dai soldiers who were determined to die also brandished their weapons to fight with the Qin people who climbed up to the top of the city.

As soon as a Qin pawn came up, he was slashed on the shoulder by Zhao Xie with an axe, blood splashed, and he fell down the city screaming.

Blood sprayed on Zhao Xie's face, making this young Zhao disciple more and more excited, and he roared with red eyes: "Kill!" Kill the Qin people! ”

As he spoke, he raised his weapon again, ready to slash at another Qin pawn who was climbing the city, but behind him, a sword suddenly stabbed over and stabbed into Zhao Xie's waist in a daze.

Zhao Xie was in pain, and turned around with a big axe to slash at the Qin pawn who attacked him, slashing him on the spot.

At this time, Zhao Xie discovered that the entire city wall had already been flooded by a large number of Qin troops.

The soldiers either turned around and fled under the Qin people's attack strategy, or were killed by the Qin soldiers who came up to the city.

As far as the eye can see, the head of Daicheng City is full of black armor.

At this time, the Qin soldier who was climbing the city took advantage of the moment when his robe was covered, and also jumped onto the city wall, and stabbed the back of the Zhao nobleman in front of him with the sword in his hand.

Zhao Xie wanted to turn around and slash at him, but he was immediately rushed to the front by several Qin pawns who poked into his body with the weapons in their hands.

"The state of Zhao is dead, and the country of Dai will also die......"

Zhao Xie muttered, blood flowing in his mouth and body.

He fell to the ground with a heavy blow.

The last words Zhao Xie heard came from his ears.

"This seems to be a noble man, and his head is worth more than others, right?"

On this day, two hundred and fifty years after the Zhao clan seized Daicheng, this dangerous city located in the north officially fell into the hands of the Qin army.

Above the city, black flags fluttered.
