"General Meng has already taken Ayi? Very good! ”

In the Qin army camp outside Zhen City, Zhao Tuo received a fast horse message from the east, and his spirits were immediately lifted.

At this time, the tent was full of generals, who were discussing the next attack on Zhencheng, and when they heard the news that General Zhao had read out Meng Tian's capture of Ayi, everyone was immediately overjoyed.

"After General Meng was worthy of the famous general, he successfully raided the plains, and went south to attack Ayi, so that he completely cut off the back road of the Qi army in Zhencheng, and when this news came to Zhencheng, it would definitely cause fear among the soldiers in the city and make the Qi army feel confused."

Li Shiqi laughed: "Under this fear, the general bombarded the city with a giant cannon, intimidated the Qi people in the city, and at the same time sent people to surrender, and at this time, there were 10,000 Qi soldiers who were put back in the city to publicize the general's benevolence, which can reduce the resistance of the Qi people and help our army to lure them down." In this way, it is a combination of fear, intimidation, and inducement, and these three moves are used to attack Zhen City, how can this city not be broken? ”

"That's what the gentleman said."

Zhao Tuo smiled slightly, and said: "Judging from the scouts of our army in the east, there are already people from the direction of Ayi who have entered Zhen City, and I think they have brought the news into the city, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Da Sima is likely to suppress this news, so we have to help him publicize this matter." ”

"Wait for you to pick some clever and willing to cooperate from among the captives, and let them go around the city with loudspeakers to publicize the capture of Ayi by our army, and at the same time announce the policy of not killing those who surrender."

"In addition, I will send another order to General Meng, ordering him to send someone to drive some of Ayi's soldiers and people to Zhencheng to confirm this matter."

Speaking of this, Zhao Tuo looked at Xiqigu again and asked, "How many days is there left for our army's giant artillery?" ”

Xi Qigu arched his hand and said: "The baggage has arrived, and the craftsmen of all departments are in place, and in two days at most, we can assemble our army's giant cannon." ”

Zhao Tuo nodded, the core metal parts of the giant cannon had been built a long time ago, and now they were transported here with the baggage team, and they only needed to be assembled with the wood cut nearby, and it would not take long to assemble them.

"In this case, two days later, I will bombard the city with a giant cannon, give a big shock to the people in the city, and help them make a choice!"

……

"I have long heard that Qin Jun has an artifact in his hand that can amplify the sound, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name. I think it was done by the Xiangli Ink who was attached to the Qin people, if you use this thing to argue with others......"

On the wall of Zhencheng, Xiang Fu looked at the Qi people outside the city who were holding strange objects and making sounds, and his eyes flashed.

In his mind, he imagined the scene of debating with others in the Jixia School Palace with this thing, it was really like a tiger with wings, even the most eloquent children of famous families, I am afraid that they will be suppressed and have no power to fight back.

On the side of the husband, Tian Chong and Tian Dan had gloomy faces.

"Da Sima, the Qin people are vicious, not only spread the news of the fall of Ayi, but also said that those who surrendered would not be killed, intending to disturb the hearts of our army, if this continues, there will definitely be many people in the city who believe the words of the Qin people, and when the Qin army attacks the city, the soldiers will no longer have the heart to fight."

Tian Dan said worriedly.

After receiving the news of the fall of Ayi, they immediately controlled the Qi people who had sent the message.

They tried their best to block the news, for fear that it would affect the fighting spirit of the Qi people in the city after it spread, but they didn't know that they were still poked out by the Qin people.

Tian Chong pursed his lips and said: "Just tell the soldiers that it is all Qin nonsense, deliberately messing with our army's heart." As long as no one confirms the news of the fall of Ayi, the soldiers will only be suspicious. As for the surrender of the Qin people......"

Tian Chong thought of the 10,000 pawns he put into the city, and suddenly felt that his head hurt.

The Qin army persuaded them to surrender, not only were the Qin people tempted from outside, but there were also Qi people in the city to help them publicize, and this matter could not be suppressed no matter what.

Before Da Sima could figure out a solution to this matter, another guard from the east of the city immediately came to report.

It is said that there are fleeing Qi pawns and villagers who came to Zhencheng in the direction of Ayi, and now they have arrived at the foot of Zhencheng, crying and shouting, telling about the occupation of Ayi by the Qin people.

Tian Chong's face turned white at once.

He looked at the Qin army camp in the distance, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhao Tuo, your methods are really vicious!" ”

……

As the news of Ayi's fall into the hands of the Qin army was confirmed, the situation in the entire Zhen City became more and more difficult.

In addition to the 10,000 Qi soldiers who were released back by the Qin army, there are still 30,000 soldiers in the city, of which 20,000 are the rout of the battle, and they have long been frightened by the Qin army on the battlefield.

Before, it was only because Tian Dan said that the Qin army loved to kill and behead the most, that these Qi people could raise their courage and have the heart to fight to the death.

Now these people heard that outside the city, there were constantly Qi army captives preaching the Qin people's policy of not killing those who surrendered, and there were even more 10,000 Qi people in the city who quietly boasted about the benevolence of the Qin general Zhao Tuo, and their thoughts suddenly surged.

Ayi was occupied, representing that Zhen Cheng was surrounded by the Qin army and fell into a desperate situation.

In this desperate situation, they saw the hope that they could survive by surrendering, which was even more impressive.

And in the next few days, Qin Jun's actions helped these Qi people to make up their minds more and more.

The Qin people did not send people to attack the city, only the dozens of giant cannons erected outside the city kept firing stone bullets.

The boulders all over the sky passed through the sky, shaking the walls of Zhencheng non-stop.

The corner tower, the female wall and other vulnerable parts that happened to be hit by the stone bullet exploded on the spot, and the huge roar shook the two people in the city, and their faces were bloodless.

The thistles and small gravel bullets scattered all over the sky caused terrible physical and psychological trauma to the soldiers defending the city.

"The Qin Army's giant cannon, it's really terrifying. They have these weapons in their hands, how can we carry them? ”

"Yes, the Qin army doesn't have to attack in person, just bombard the city wall with that giant cannon every day, sooner or later it can blow up the city and smash us all into meat sauce."

"Bolognese? Hiss...... This can't be held at all, it's better to surrender to them, and you can still live! ”

The soldiers defending the city in the city were in fear, and they had already put the matter of surrender on their lips.

Someone even asked those Qi soldiers who were released back by the Qin army: "The Qin people really don't kill prisoners?" And promised to let us go back to our hometown after the war? It's not credible! ”

Hearing the question, the Qi pawns who had been put back suddenly became energetic.

They whispered one by one: "Yes, General Zhao is the most trustworthy, saying that if you let us come back, you will let us come back, they don't have much food, and they are willing to share a part of it for the prisoners to eat, and they haven't even killed a single person, do you think it's credible?" ”

"Yes, General Zhao is trustworthy and benevolent, you see that our army of Qi was not recruited well, and General Zhao did not take the opportunity to attack and attack, but waited for our army to arrive, and then set up a position to fight a dignified battle. You say that there is no such general in this world, if General Zhao is not credible, then who can believe it? ”

"That is, if the Qin army attacks the city, Naigong will definitely be the first to surrender!"

Those Qi pawns who were put back swore an oath.

They have already surrendered once, once they are born, second when they are ripe, and they surrender again, which is really no psychological burden.

"That being the case, Naigong will also surrender with you when the time comes."

"If you surrender the Qin army, you don't have to be afraid all day long in this city."

A few Qi pawns whispered, and such voices kept ringing in the entire Zhen City.

In this situation, Tian Dan, who patrols the city defense all day long, is very clear.

His face was full of iron, and he walked into the room where Da Sima was, and saw Da Sima kneeling on the couch, looking at the map on the wooden case in front of him in a daze.

Tian Dan gritted his teeth and said: "Great Sima, the Qin army's combination of the technique of attacking the heart and their giant artillery siege has made the soldiers in the city lose their fighting spirit, and they are privately discussing the matter of surrendering. ”

"If this continues, when the Qin army really attacks, there will be no one to fight to the death. Instead of this, it is better for me to lead my troops out of the city to raid the Qin army and fight them. Da Sima took this opportunity and led his troops from the east gate. ”

"The Qin army surrounded three queyi, the road to the east was unobstructed, and after the great Sima went out of the city, he went to Linzi, as long as he returned to the capital. Da Sima re-recruits the army, and my Qi country will still have a chance! ”

Tian Dan's voice was fierce, and his face was full of the intent of fighting to the death.

Tian Chong was stunned.

He looked at Tian Dan and smiled helplessly: "Dan, you are willing to protect me with death, I am very moved." It's just that since Zhao Tuo captured Ayi with strange soldiers and copied my back road, he wanted to besiege and kill me here, and he had the intention of winning it. ”

"Zhao Tuo wants to get me, even if you Tian Dan can cover me with your life to escape from Zhen City, it is useless."

"As soon as I go, Zhao Tuo will definitely send cavalry to pursue. There are hundreds of miles to Linzi, the cavalry of the Qin army is chasing and killing behind, and there are more Qin people patrolling near Ayi, I want to go all the way back to Linzi, how difficult it is. If you are captured by him on the road, will you not be humiliated again? ”

Tian Chong's voice became deeper and lower: "And I can also see clearly, although I, Tian Chong, know military skills." But on the battlefield, he was far from being his opponent Zhao Tuo, even if he could escape back and then lead troops to fight him, it would only be a shame in vain. ”

"Da Sima!"

Tian Dan's body trembled, looking at the big Sima in front of him, he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Tian Chong said softly: "The people in the city have no intention of fighting, why should I force them to fight to the death, it is just a killing in vain, not a gentleman's doing." ”

"Zhao Tuo now declares with benevolence and righteousness, if you don't kill and surrender pawns, I look at his past, and there is indeed no such thing as killing and destroying promises."

"To this day, I should use Zhen City to surrender him to Zhao Tuo, and use the whole city to kill people."

Tian Chong smiled and spoke, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
