Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 472 All Equal Under War

Chapter 472 All Equal Under War

Since the gate of the city was broken in a way unimaginable by the capital of Zhao, the cavalry of the Qin army immediately attacked the capital of Zhao with a lightning attack, leaving no more time for the Zhao army to react, and the Qin army who rushed into the city Immediately control the vicinity of the city gate to meet the follow-up Qin army.

The wide city gate that was once used to show the majesty of the king's capital was also for the convenience of Zhao's monarchs and ministers, and became a more convenient passage for the Qin army. On the other hand, Zhao Jun was organizing soldiers and horses to try to kill the city wall.

It's just that when the city wall is outside, it can certainly prevent the Qin army from attacking it in a short time, but when it's inside, how can Zhao Jun be able to kill it in a short time? Zhao Jun left the city wall through a distant passage, but the time Qin Jun left for them was too short, so short that even if someone went down the city wall and prepared to organize a counterattack in the city, the scale of the counterattack would not constitute a certain amount of combat power at all. , the result he faced was only to be quickly defeated by the Qin army.

The city wall was originally the last support of Zhao Du's defenders, but at this moment, they became a giant net that trapped Zhao Du's defenders to death. Zhao Jun on the city wall watched Qin Jun rush into the Zhao Capital they wanted to defend Watching Qin Jun rush into their home, but what can they do?

The narrow passage has been sealed off by the Qin army with strong bows and crossbows. On the city wall stretching for dozens of miles, the passage leading to the city is limited. Moreover, the Qin army outside the city has also launched an attack. Zhao Jun was even more flustered.

As the Qin army launched an all-out attack, the entire capital of Zhao became a terrifying battlefield.

The Qin army was "fortunately" to leave too many legends for the capital of Zhao State in the past few decades. At this time, even though the Qin army had already invaded the city, the courage of the Zhao capital to resist was not disintegrated. It's true that Zhao is all up and down, not just Zhao Jun.

When Zhao Jun was trapped on the city wall and could not move under the pincer attack of Qin Jun from inside and outside, the people in Zhao capital spontaneously took to the streets, pushed the wall to form a line of defense, lit wood on the street, and blocked the street with flames. They use weapons that are not weapons to demonstrate the strength of their resistance.

Among them, the vast majority of people don't know what the demise of Zhao State means to themselves, and they don't know what the war between Qin State and Zhao State is for, but they know that they must defend their homeland, They don't know what national hatred is, but they know family hatred.

For so many years, the war between Zhao State and Qin State, if from the upper level, it is the war between Qin State and Zhao State, Qin King and Zhao King, then on another level, the war between Qin and Zhao is also the same. It is a war between countless families in two countries.

The national hatred is too far away, but the family hatred has been passed down in the words and experiences of the ancestors.

The people in the capital city of Zhao didn't know more about the truth. They only knew that when the enemy came, they had to take up arms to protect their home.

However, not every part of the capital city of Zhao, which was ignited by the flames of war, has been turned into a battlefield. Among the high-ranking families, there are obviously higher walls, stronger servants, and sharper weapons. However, during the charge of the Qin army, nearly half of them closed their doors tightly, as quiet as death, as if they were not in the same city as another world that had already been caught in the flames of war.

At this moment, there is indifference in the battle, the color of the rich family is reflected in the flames, and the shouts in the fight highlight the tranquility everywhere.

Outside the city, Yang Ming stood in front of the formation, surrounded by Qin troops constantly rushing into the city. At the same time, there were also streams of military intelligence coming from the city in the opposite direction to Yang Ming's control.

Listening to the messenger's report, Yang Ming looked at Zhao Ducheng from a distance in silence. The city wall could not block Yang Ming's sight, and the reflection of the fire was not so bright red under the blue sky and white sun, but it looked like Yang Ming's The eyes are extremely dazzling.

"Our time is precious. As long as the people in the city don't take the initiative to attack, there is no need to pay attention to them. The palace, arsenal, granary, and various official residences are our goals." I have already expected what Qin Jun will face. Yang Ming ordered directly.

"What if the Zhao people take the initiative to attack?" the orderly asked subconsciously.

"Kill, anyone who stands in the way of our attack can be killed." Yang Ming said.

Yang Ming has never thought about subduing others without fighting. This is war. Before or after the war, different people have different identities, but in the war, there are not so many complicated things. Things, in war, there are only one's own side and the enemy.

Mercy can exist before or after a war, but not during a war.

As the real thing continued, Qin Jun had already appeared on the square outside King Zhao's Palace. Empress Dowager Zhao, who barely suppressed the fear in her heart and came to the palace wall, looked at Qin Jun moving in her sight, her mind went blank. , During this period of time, she was still thinking about saving herself, but now, she had no chance.

Others in Zhao State still have a chance to surrender, but what about her?Can the queen mother of a country have a chance to surrender?Even if there is a chance to surrender, is there any chance of a good death?

What am I doing wrong?There is such a disaster today?Empress Dowager Zhao thought subconsciously that her heart was already icy cold.

If I hadn't done that thing at the beginning, would I not have the bad luck I have today?

In fear, Queen Mother Zhao's thoughts could not help but be pulled back to 12 years ago. In that year, she returned to Wu'an County from Zhaodu, just to eliminate the last threat to her ascension to the Queen's position.

"Am I wrong? No, I'm not wrong. I don't want to be like my ancestors anymore. I don't want to go out among the rich and powerful and witness their drunkenness and dreams, but I can only watch them and humbly laugh. It was easy to get rid of my identity and marry him. At that time, I was grateful to him and really wanted to live a good life with him, but who made him so disappointing and passed away early, and his mother didn't like it. I, even because of my identity, snatched Xueer from me, and I was also forced, if I don't find someone to rely on, will I go back to my old business?" Queen Mother Zhao recalled her king Nearly 40 years of life.

"I must seize that opportunity, even if it means sacrificing everything. Yes, I am indeed not a good person, but is that old godly woman a good person? In my whole life, I have never wronged anyone except Xueer." The Queen Mother Zhao said to herself , the fear gradually dissipated, and it was replaced by madness. She was never a kind woman, nor did she lack her own determination. She was a real mad woman. It is a pity that Zhao Guo has such a woman, because she can only see herself in her eyes. Although she has calculations, she has no structure, and she may be able to create a small family. , but it will bring disaster to the country.

The Qin army's offensive continued. Although Zhao Du had no lack of determination to resist, in the face of the absolute strength of the Qin army, many resistances were doomed to be futile. The official residences in Zhao's capital fell one after another, and the arsenal was also under the attack of the Qin army. It turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the granary, which was still as important as the arsenal, was captured by the Qin army in the fastest time, blocking the flames that had not yet spread.

As the Qin army continues to advance, all those who dare to stand in the way of the Qin army's forward attack will be destroyed. This is war. On the battlefield, there are no men, women, or children, only soldiers. Weapons, even if the weapon is just a stone, they have lost their original identity.

As the sun gradually approached Xishan, the Qin army had completely occupied the streets and mansions in the Zhao capital city, but the Qin army did not directly attack the palace, but stopped the offensive in the despair of Zhao capital, making Zhao capital The forces that were still resisting up and down couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The tough day is over, but what about tomorrow?

On the city wall, Mr. Chunping watched the teams of Qin troops passing by on the street, and looked at the houses that were lit everywhere. There was only confusion in his heart. Is there any point in resisting?

Is there any point in resistance that cannot see victory?He saw the corpses, some from the Qin army, some from the Zhao people. At this moment, he could still find the meaning of his resistance, because he was a member of the Zhao family, his grandfather, his father, his younger brother, his The nephews are all Zhao Wang, Zhao Guo is the country of Zhao Wang, and it is also his country.

I use the reason of resistance, even if it means giving my life for it.During the observation, Chunping Jun withdrew his gaze, but when he retracted his gaze from Zhao Duzhong and landed on the city wall, what he saw were tired faces, faces he did not recognize. , he saw determination, he saw fear, he saw blindness, and he saw madness.

where are they?What is the reason for their resistance and desperate efforts?

They are encouraged by people like me to use their lives to resist the Qin army, but what are they defending?At this moment, Jun Ping's mind was once again dominated by confusion.

But in the camp of the Qin army, Yang Ming had already called Liu Ji to him.

"Tomorrow, we will completely take down the capital city of Zhao. Although we soldiers are very good at attacking cities, we are not good at stabilizing cities after the war. To deal with those people below, you can choose a team from the Habayashi Guards, and then choose some people from the soldiers from Taiyuan County to be responsible for maintaining the order in Zhaodu after the war." Yang Ming ordered.

"My lord, what rules should I use to maintain the order in Zhao's capital? Is it Qin law? Zhao law, or our military law?" Liu Ji asked who knew what he was about to do.

"Without him, it's just three chapters." Yang Ming looked at Liu Ji in front of him, and for a while really felt the wonderful fate.
