Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 446 The Essence of War

The Qin army attacked Shanzhi City very quickly. After breaking through the city gate, they quickly retreated towards the city wall. Pushing down the city wall, strands of remnant soldiers scattered towards the inner city, and then the Dragonrider Imperial Army quickly rushed towards the inner city.

And the so-called bravery in the city who had gathered before was dispersed by a round of offensive by the Qin army, but the hot blood from their companions extinguished the blood that was burning in their hearts because of simplicity and ignorance .

One by one, they fled in all directions, fled back to their own homes, and fled back to a place they thought was safe. As for the weapons they either prepared themselves or brought from the arsenal, they hid them tightly. For fear of being discovered by the Qin army and being killed as a resister.

As more and more soldiers of the Qin army poured into the city, the streets were continuously occupied by the Qin army. On both sides of the street was a door that was more tightly closed. He carefully observed the Qin army who was clearing the streets.

Some resisters were beheaded mercilessly by the Qin army, and the bright and ordinary blood stained the ground. At this time, no one admired their heroism, because their death was too easy.

There are cowards who kneel and surrender because of fear, prostrate on the ground, and raise their weapons high with both hands. At this time, no one despises their cowardice, because such a person who hides at home and trembles, he just wants to Those who survive, what right do they have to laugh at others?At the very least, those people had bravely picked up weapons, although the time to pick up weapons was really too short.

And Qin Jun seemed to be very calm in the face of all this. Under the cold mask, no one could see their expressions, but they could only see that they were efficiently and quickly cleaning up everything that blocked their progress, whether it was living or dead. The people, the cut off weapons, and the dragged away corpses all turned the Shanzhi City at this time into a nightmare that people dare not even dream of encountering.

What will they do?What direction will this war go?Qin Jun, who was looking at the street through countless pairs of eyes through the hidden gaps, was flustered in his heart, but he also had expectations.

The cruelty of the Qin army is well known to the world, but the cruelty of the Qin army is not without a bottom line. Although the Qin army has the evil deeds of killing prisoners, it seems that it has not done anything to massacre the city, but where is the bottom line of the Qin army? And no one dared to gamble. After all, the price of losing a bet is too high.

Under the terrified eyes of the pair, Qin Jun advanced methodically, and fewer and fewer people resisted, but in the face of the constant death, the so-called courage can last for a limited time.

Under the attack of the Qin army, the not-so-small Shanzhi City also became smaller. After the granary and arsenal of the county guard's mansion were captured one after another, the entire city was almost controlled by the Qin army. At this time, time It was only dusk, and half a day had not passed since the Qin army launched an attack until the Qin army took control of the entire city.

On the city wall, the fighting has gone far away, and the bloody smell has dissipated a lot in the autumn wind, only the mess intertwined with blood stains and stumped limbs has not dissipated. Nongyu under the city looked at the scene in front of him, his face was pale For the first time, there was her last stubbornness, the war, which was completely and truly presented in front of her. There was no so-called romance at all, and there was only the horror of purgatory on earth. Although she did not come in person, she floated into her nostrils along with her breath. The breath, but it has already made her look away.

"This is war." Nongyu murmured to himself and looked at the city wall, which had become the location of the Qin Army's central army. The tall city walls and towers allowed the people there to see most of the city. The best place for the Chinese military camp.

With the passage of time, dusk was replaced by night, and the Qin army also stopped its offensive, blocking the streets, and soldiers stationed in various places.

"Master Guardian, Shanzhi City, Main Street 38, and Small Street [-] have all been captured, but the Sheriff's Mansion has not yet been taken. Are you going to take the Sheriff's Mansion at night?" On the city wall, several captains of the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army Reported his battle situation to Yang Ming.

"Don't worry, give them a chance to surrender. The soldiers have been fighting for half a day, and it's time to take a rest. I'll tell you, three taels of wine and half a catty of meat, don't keep it. Tomorrow, we will get More wine and meat, and other things." Yang Ming said.

Now that the city has been captured, it is natural to reward the three armies. Although Yang Ming does not want to slaughter, war is war. Even Yang Ming must follow the law of war. Not wanton slaughter does not mean that Yang Ming will not plunder resources. It's just that the way of doing it will be different.

As losers, these dignitaries in Yanmen County must pay some price, otherwise the Qin army would have come in vain, and the defeated must have the consciousness of the defeated.

"Promise." Following Yang Ming's order, the Qin army all over the city began to gather towards several important places. In this newly occupied city, especially at night, it is extremely dangerous to be alone. .

"Is the war over?" Nongyu, who knew that Yang Ming had almost handled the matter, came towards the moonlight. Although there was still a faint smell of blood on the city wall, it seemed to have returned to its original state, except In the hidden corner, there seems to be something left.

"It's just the beginning." Yang Ming pointed to a couch next to him.

"Hasn't the city already been captured?" Nong Yu Shunyi sat beside Yang Ming and asked with a puzzled face.

"What does Nongyu think war is?" Yang Ming didn't answer Nongyu's question directly, but asked another question amidst Nongyu's confusion.

"What is war? Isn't war killing the enemy and occupying everything owned by the enemy?" Nongyu thought for a while, but could only think of such an answer.

"It's just that since brother-in-law asked me that, the answer must not be that simple." Nongyu added.

"The war you mentioned is only the appearance of war, not the essence of war. The essence of war is to destroy the existing order and then establish another order." Yang Ming explained.

"The current city has only been occupied. The existing order has only ceased to operate because of the war, and has not been destroyed. If the war ends here, the city will only change its flag, and it will still be the original city. Nothing will change."

"Next, we have to completely end the order here, establish an order belonging to Qin, and allow this order to truly dominate this place. Only in this way can the war be considered over."

It is very easy to decide the outcome on the battlefield, but that is just the beginning. In this war between Qin and the Six Kingdoms, although Qin won the victory on the battlefield, but in another level of war, can you win? Not being able to win is still a two-way matter, especially in the original time and space, Qin still lost a complete defeat.

"Establish a new order? Is this the purpose of the war?" Nongyu muttered to herself, seeming to understand something in a trance.

"Let's not talk about that now, this time with the army, do you have any novel feelings?" Yang Ming changed the topic and said, now there is wind and moon, of course it is better to talk about wind and moon.

"Does gold and iron horse count?" Nongyu suddenly revealed a mischievous expression while talking to himself.

"Forget it, of course it does." Yang Ming said cooperatively.

"How should I put it, along the way, it seems that because of a different angle, I saw many different things, and saw another layer of color in the same things." Nongyu was thinking about herself. what you think.

"Let's listen to it." Yang Ming said.

"In the past, I only thought that Zilanxuan was the whole world. After I came out this time, I realized that the world is so big, so big that it is beyond my imagination. Even my heart has become broader. I used to think it was very big. It’s important and very important, and now it seems that’s all there is to it.” Nongyu said that she is proficient in rhythm and can practice it to the level of communicating with nature. Afterwards, there are naturally many more things to see than ordinary people.

Because ordinary people see the world with their eyes, but Nongyu sees the world not only with his eyes, but also with his heart. Speaking of it, if this continues, the family can gather a performance troupe, after all Yan Lingji can also dance, and she dances well.

This night was destined to be a long one, at least for the people in the Sheriff's Mansion.

After all, Li Qi lost the best chance to surrender because of his so-called face. The Qin army's offensive was so fast that he didn't have much time to react. In one night, Li Qi hardly had the so-called struggle. , just waiting for the dawn to surrender, but the way of surrender still needs to be selected a little bit.

Thus, in the early morning sunshine, the closed gate of the Sheriff's Mansion was opened.

He wanted to fight to the death, but Li Qi, the governor of Yanmen County, who had a traitor under his command, was kidnapped by a group of traitors headed by Shi Meng and pushed out of the governor's mansion. After besieging the governor's mansion, the Qin State attacked after breakfast. One by one showed a look of astonishment, and after the astonishment, there was a touch of regret. Unfortunately, if these people did not surrender, they could still fight to capture or kill the army of a county guard in the enemy country, but now it is There is no chance.

Li Qi, who was escorted to Yang Ming by Wuhuada, looked at Yang Ming bitterly. It was really embarrassing for the people he knew to meet again in this situation.

"Shi Meng is loyal at this time, and he is a good subordinate." Yang Ming looked at the rope on Li Qi's body and couldn't help laughing.

Li Qi has completely turned into Li Qi at this time, what does this mean.
