Chapter 135: Surrender

Zheng Anping couldn't help but feel a chill, and let out a clattering sound of teeth colliding: "He, they are threatening us!" ”

"Yes, make an example of the monkeys." The lieutenant general was not surprised and looked at it with a blank face.

For three consecutive days, Chun Shenjun would order people to torture and kill a Qin soldier prisoner in public.

On the open field, the painful howls of the Qin soldiers' captives, the miserable begging for mercy, and the indignant cursing continued to echo.

Zheng Anping covered his ears and closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look or listen.

Naturally, he had no way of knowing that due to the viscous situation in Xinzhongcheng, Chun Shenjun divided his troops into two ways and secretly went to support, leaving only Lecheng and Qingcheng to continue to besiege Xinliang City.

"Zheng Anping, the general of the Qin soldiers, was greedy for life and afraid of death, and fled without a fight when he was defending Fencheng. In the past few days, we have scared him out. You don't need to storm it, continue the siege, and when he can't bear it anymore, then persuade him to surrender. Before Chun Shenjun left, he explained to Le Cheng and the others.

"Whoa!" Lecheng and Qingcheng said in unison.

Chun Shenjun took away more than half of the troops, leaving only 10,000 people for Lecheng.

This is actually a very risky decision, because it is necessary to encircle it, that is, it needs to be ten times the strength of the enemy army before the matter of encirclement can be considered.

But Chun Shenjun concluded that Zheng Anping would not dare to fight, and would only shrink back.

Lecheng ordered: "The fire in the stove is not reduced, the tent is not reduced, and those who leak secrets will be killed!" ”

"Whoa!"

The Chu and Zhao coalition forces were under the city for a long time, as if they were afraid that the people in Xiang City would not come out, so they beat drums and assembled every day, and the city provoked.

The deputy general Lao Shen was there, as if he was watching a play, watching Chu Jun change his tricks and scold: "I always heard that Chu worships mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, goblins and ghosts. You see, do they look like they're dancing gods now? ”

"Hahaha."

"Xu is begging for the blessing of the spirits?"

"Hahaha, there are so many spirits, can you get it?"

The beliefs of Chu and Qin and Zhao are a little different.

The state of Chu believed in the spirit mountain gods, and the Qin people worshiped their ancestors.

In addition, after the Qin State occupied the Chu land, it did not treat the Chu people leniently, and the Chu people could not adapt to the laws of the Qin State, so they were unable to integrate into the Qin State for a long time and did not regard themselves as Qin people.

"It's useless to beg anyone, our lord will not send people out of the city to fight."

As soon as he said this, the laughter stopped.

Everyone knew that the Qin soldiers in Xinliang City would either starve to death and die of thirst, or they would surrender, and they would never die on the battlefield.

Because their main general, Zheng Anping, is such a person.

Shi Chang Yan Chong silently wiped the sword in his hand with leather armor, tied a strap on his thigh, lowered his head, and hid the hatred in his eyes.

At this time, in the distance, there was a Chu chariot soldier stopped dozens of steps outside the city, and the chariot held a long chieftain spear high, shouting and provoking towards the city, full of ugly words.

"Jing people are so brave!"

The adjutant general glanced at the listless Qin pawn at the head of the city, pretended to be angry, took the horn bow of a soldier next to him, and aimed at the warrior charioteer is an arrow!

He was a battle-hardened veteran, and he shot a good arrow, but unfortunately the distance was too far, and the arrow fell a few steps in front of the chariot.

Seeing this, the three people on the chariot were even more rampant, and the shouting and scolding came from afar, all of them were Qin people who were courageless, generals of the defeated army, and the like.

The adjutant general put away the horn bow, then gritted his teeth and said: "The Chu people are so arrogant! Rush out or die! ”

"That's exactly what I mean."

"Kill them without a piece of armor!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill what kill! Shut up, y'all! Zheng Anping finally fell asleep, but was woken up by the sound of shouting and killing all over the city.

Could it be that the Chu army has attacked in a big way?!

When Zheng Anping grabbed the burden that had been prepared a long time ago and wanted to slip away, he found that it was the Qin soldiers who were shouting and shouting to kill, and the Chu army did not move.

In a hurry, Zheng Anping rushed to the wall and sprayed at the deputy general and the Qin pawn on the head of the city.

With bad breath, the saliva splashed on everyone's faces, but everyone didn't wipe it, but stared at the burden on Zheng Anping's hand.

The adjutant general closed his eyes tightly, suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and asked, "General, where are you going with your baggage?" ”

Zheng Anping was scolding, and when he heard the words, he seemed to be frozen, his eyes rolled, and he saw that the Qin soldiers around him were staring at him viciously, and his heart couldn't help but be furious.

In the interval between their words, the Chu people had already approached the city and set up a formation, and it looked like an experienced military officer was commanding in an orderly manner.

Then, the two chariots drove straight to the city, and after the carts stopped, a man who looked like a military official of the Chu State stood up and shouted loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have run out of ammunition, so why do you have to put up fearless resistance. We, the Chu army, don't kill prisoners! General Zheng, why don't you lead your troops to invest in it? ”

Zheng Anping was so moved that he opened his mouth to agree, but was stopped by the deputy general.

"General, once we surrender, not only will we become thieves ourselves, but we will also be involved in hundreds of soldiers, and their parents, brothers, wives and children will be accepted as subordinate concubines. General, please think again! ”

Is Zheng Anping afraid? He wasn't afraid at all. His parents have long since died, and although there are many wives and concubines and children in Xianyang City, as long as he is alive, he is afraid that he will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law?

With a woman, there will naturally be a son.

Moreover, if he led his troops to surrender, he would definitely be treated much better than ordinary soldiers. After all, I have more than 20,000 people with me!

"Remember, I'm the commander. Surrender or not, I have the final say! Zheng Anping intends to go his own way.

The adjutant general's hand holding the sword jumped straight up: "General, we are all unwilling to surrender!" ”

"No surrender!"

"Death does not surrender!"

"Before I joined the army, Ah Weng and his brother told me that they would rather die in battle than be deserters, and even more so not surrender!"

In Qin's military law, the worst behavior was not the loss of a division and territory, but surrender.

Especially in Guanzhong, where Qin Fa has been immersed for more than 100 years, before a father sends a son, a brother sends a younger brother, and a wife sends her husband to join the army, they will warn each other, even if it is for the sake of the family, you must obey the military order, fight hard, and never be a deserter, or even surrender......

Although Zheng Anping was flustered in his heart, he still pretended to be calm and scolded loudly: "It's against the sky!" Are you trying to rebel? ”

After speaking, Zheng Anping was still worried that the Chu army would be impatient if he waited too long, so he hurriedly poked his head out and shouted to the people in the city.

"I'm Zheng Anping! I'm willing to surrender! ”

After Le Cheng and Qing Cheng saw it, they laughed proudly: "Chun Shenjun is really scheming. ”

It doesn't cost a single soldier to recover Xinliang City and capture 20,000 or 30,000 Qin troops, which is a big military achievement!

Le Cheng and Qing Cheng put their minds at ease and planned to wash up and welcome the surrender of the Qin soldiers.

Zheng Anping made an appointment with the Chu army under the city to surrender, and turned around, only to find that everyone was glaring at him with red eyes.
