Two days later, Qin Yan's two armies had all entered Zhaohua City, and the rocks and mud in the city gate cave had also been cleaned up.

The bleak northwest wind blew in from the north gate and out of the south gate, bringing with it tattered clothes and dust.

In the entire Zhaohua City, there were traces of slashing with knives and axes everywhere, blood stains everywhere, and scattered belongings scattered all over the streets.

Not to mention the living, there are not even cats or dogs in the city. Insects don't call, birds don't chirp.

Nearly a million troops entered this Zhaohua City, and the first thing they saw was the Jingguan with a human head that was a little taller than the tallest building in the city.

Although most of the Yan army on this expedition are people from Yanzhong and Yannan, after all, they all belong to the Yan country, and at this moment, when they see the human head Jingguan piled up by the Yan people's lives, they all show sadness.

Even Qin Jun mostly had a straight face, and his face was unbearable.

Although Qin Yan is two countries, they often go to war with each other. But one resists Beidi all the year round, and the other guards the Western Regions all the year round to fight against Xirong. It's also considered to be a sympathy.

The tragic situation of Zhaohua City today may not be what a certain city in Qin State will look like in the future.

"These savages dare to be so cruel!" Sun Xiansheng said angrily. Looking around, whether it is Xu Ao, Xu Hu, Liu Cheng, Sun Li and other young masters who are powerful and blessed on weekdays, most of them are full of anger.

In the entire Yanwutang team, only Zheng Anping, the eldest prince of Zheng and the younger brother of the Wang family of the Iron Blood Road, had the same face as usual, but only slightly serious.

This made Zheng Gongzi pay attention to this kid recommended by Xu Ao.

Le Niu instructed Yan Jun that no matter who he was, he had to follow the army around the head of the capital three times.

After three laps, such an angry division will be able to exert 120% combat power.

When it was time for the Yanwutang team, everyone secretly swore in their hearts that such a tragic situation would never be allowed to appear in Daqin. When the sister and brother surnamed Wang passed by, the younger brother of the Wang family casually put a flower picked from Xianyang in front of the head of Jingguan.

Le Niu sighed and instructed the sergeant beside him: "Search the whole city to see if there are any people who have survived hiding in the cellar." ”

The weather in Yanbei is cold, most people dig cellars to store vegetables and fruits, in previous years, there were occasional small towns were broken, and some people were able to hide in the cellar to survive.

It's just that I don't know how many people can survive in this Zhaohua City

Le Niu sighed again and patted the deputy general beside him: "Lead a team of men and horses to collect the property scattered throughout the city." Look for any food left. If there is. Check whether there are any poisons, if not, seal them and bring them with the army. Another 200,000 soldiers and horses were selected and stationed here. Wait for the arrival of the follow-up army before joining us. ”

The adjutant general nodded yes, turned the horse's head and waited to order the horses. Le Niu seemed to remember something again: "Come back." Let Le Tang lead the 200,000 people of the vanguard army to be stationed here. He is relatively calm and a good candidate to defend the city. ”

The adjutant general responded, turned his horse's head and looked for Letang, who had advanced to the city first and was leading the troops to clean up the streets at the moment.

Le Niu looked at the multi-story building of Jingguan, and secretly annoyed why the Queen Mother waited for the Qin army to finish running in before coming to recover the lost territory, if it could be earlier, maybe she could save some more people.

Looking at the human head on this Beijing Temple, it is estimated that he has just died for two or three days, and the corpse decays very slowly in winter. Everyone's expressions were still vaguely on their faces.

"General Leniu. Le Niu turned around, and it turned out to be Zheng Gongzi, who had just taken over the Qin army for a few days. To be honest, Le Niu doesn't have a good impression of this Zheng Gongzi. The ancestor is just a small prince in the middle of the family, and with the women of the family on the throne, this is the most despicable in the Yan Kingdom.

In addition, how can he be so virtuous, he can actually let King Qin order to replace the Qin general who is obviously proficient in the army, which is even more unpleasant. Seeing him come at this moment, although it was not good to show him a face, but this head Jingguan was in front of him, and he didn't bother to make a false deal with him again.

When Zheng Gongzi arrived in front of him, he was also stunned when he saw General Le Niu with a straight face. After thinking about it, he was relieved: "General Le, can you take a step to speak?"

Le Niu said in a sullen voice: "If General Zheng has anything to say, just say it here, the provincial supervisor army will join me in fornicating with the generals of other countries." ”

Zheng Gongzi smiled and was not angry: "The general has been fighting against Beidi all the year round, but Beidi has to burn and loot every time the city is broken?"

"Not bad" Le Niu wondered, this is a well-known thing, why bother asking me.

"Then do you slaughter the city every time you break the city, and then put up this human head to watch the capital?" Zheng Gongzi asked again.

Le Niu thought slightly: "This is not, since the founding of Dayan, it has fought with Beidi thousands of times, and the city has been broken hundreds of times. ”

"General Le, when was the last time you put on a human head, and for what reason?" Zheng Gongzi continued to ask.

The surrounding generals were a little annoyed, but Le Niu became serious instead: "Yan Guo broke the sixteen tribes of Beidi in a row, and then the Beidi tribes attacked with all their strength, attacking the Lonely Bamboo City we stationed a few days ago, which was still called Kuzhu City at that time. Later, the Marquis of Ji felt that the name was unlucky, so he ordered it to be changed to Lonely Bamboo City. ”

At the mention of thistle, the faces of the generals were even more ugly. Although the Qin State tried to clear the name, the Empress Dowager also said that there was another reason for the assassination of the Marquis of Ji. But the men in these armies all had a trace of hostility towards the Qin army. After all, the assassin used the swordsmanship of the Sword Saint of the Qin State, and he used the weapons of the Qin army's secret guards.

Zheng Gongzi saw that he was about to arouse the anger of the people when he saw that he would go around the bend again, so he uncovered the mystery himself: "If I remember correctly, the last time Beidi put out the human head Jingguan, the human head Jingguan was used to worship the ancestors, and the Beidi ancestors sent down rewards to strengthen the flesh for the four Beidi warriors, and their skin became invulnerable. For the next twenty years, the Yan Kingdom was at a war disadvantage. It wasn't until Sanxian Mountain intervened that the balance between Yan and Beidi was restored. ”

Among the generals, there was a fiery temper who had already clenched the hilt of his sword.

Zheng Gongzi said to himself: "As far as I know, the ancestor worship ceremony is extremely important in both the countries of Kyushu and the barbarians in the Quartet. Although the barbarian sacrifice to the ancestors is not as grand as that of the countries of Kyushu, the preciousness of the sacrificial items is even greater. My lord, may I ask, is there any trace of this human head Jingguan being sacrificed?"

Le Niu observed it carefully, and also felt strange: "No, after the sacrifice, whether it is a white horse or a slave, it will be sucked into a dried corpse, and all the essence will be dedicated to the ancestors in exchange for rewards." It will never remain the same as before. ”

"Then look at the big man, the ditches on the ground are obviously carved by people for a few days. Isn't it the formation used for the sacrifice?Since the formation and sacrifices have been prepared, why don't you sacrifice and choose to abandon the city and flee?" Zheng Gongzi pointed to the ditch on the ground that had been filled with blood.

Someone from the Yan Kingdom interjected: "It must be because it is not a day to worship ancestors, if it can be used to worship ancestors at any time, then they have been fighting with us for so many years, how can there be two heads in Jingguan?!"

"Yes, there must be a time limit for worshipping ancestors, but since they have spared no effort to set up the human head Jingguan, carved the formation, and melted the precious metal into runes and inlaid them. It must be the time to worship ancestors in the last few days. It may even be today!" Zheng Gongzi said one after another: "Lord Le Niu, this matter has to be guarded against! Beidi has left such an important sacrificial ceremony, there must be a conspiracy in it! It is better for the two armies to withdraw from the city as soon as possible." Sent someone to destroy this human head Jingguan. It's not too late to enter the city again!"

Damn the vanguard of the Yan Army, there was no mention of a head Jingguan in the letter returned, if Zheng Er hadn't quietly told me that this head Jingguan was mostly used for sacrifices, I would have been kept in the dark.

"Little doll, knowledgeable. Yes, this human head Jingguan is exactly what we use to worship our ancestors. However, this is not the whole tribute. 200,000 dead corpses, how did our many ancestors eat enough. Quack, plus the flesh and soul of your million-strong army, it's barely enough!" The guards on the top of the Jingguan had green fire in their eyes and opened their mouths and bared their teeth and smiled: "From the moment you enter the city, you are destined to not escape!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire Jingguan Temple burned into a green fire. Le Niu and Zheng Gongzi were coerced by the generals and fled outside the city. For a time, there was chaos in the city.

Xu Ao, Xu Hu, and Sun Xiansheng looked at the cracks torn in the sky above Jingguan in a daze. It wasn't until a large, wizened hand reached out of the crack and grabbed at the headless fly-like army on the ground that they reacted.

Xu Hu let out a heart-rending howl and pulled Xu Ao and Sun Xiansheng together, desperately fleeing out of the city.
