The Jagged Empire of Daqin

It made him incompatible with the officials of the county guard and the officers and soldiers of the standing army, as if he was a person from two worlds.

The moat is only three hundred steps away from the city tower. Kong Shuzheng’s voice is not loud, but Ai Qun can hear it. After Ai Qun heard it, he immediately looked for the sound. When he saw Kong Shuzheng looking at him indifferently, he couldn’t help but The student raised his hand respectfully and saluted, "I'm Ai Qun, I've seen Mr. Kong!"

Kong Shuzheng has a lot of background, he is a respected old gentleman in the Great Zhao Dynasty, he has thousands of disciples, spread all over the country, it can be said that there are many peaches and plums in the world, of course, few of his disciples are high-ranking officials, they are all small officials, but they are also very powerful Yes, it tastes good wherever you go.

However, it is not only because of this that Ai Qun can respect Kong Shuzheng, but because Kong Shuzheng is a benevolent person. From the salary issued by the court, he only keeps his family's food money, and the rest of the money is rewarded to beggars on the street or food dealers. The poor who can't afford it.

He often encourages officers and soldiers to help the common people in farming, and even goes to the fields to help himself, vividly showing the eight characters of loving the people like children and sacrificing oneself for others.

As the saying goes: Virtue does not match!

But he, Kong Shu, is unworthy of virtue.

Because Kong Shuzheng loves the people like a son, sacrifices himself for others, and acts personally. He is supported by the people all over the country, especially the people in Beichang County. No one will say that Kong Shuzheng is not good.

It was not unreasonable for Ai Qun to respect him, and one of the reasons why Luo Xing sent Ai Qun to persuade Kong Shuzheng to surrender was because Kong Shuzheng had a high reputation. If he surrendered to Qin, it would not be a waste of effort to capture the entire Beichang County. There is no need to drag the artillery to bomb this and that, that would be a waste of time.

Another reason for persuading the surrender was that if Kong Shuzheng could serve the Great Qin Dynasty, it would definitely be a good thing for the Qin people. After all, everyone hoped that their parents were good officials.

"The general is polite!" Kong Shuzheng replied with a still expressionless expression.

Seeing Kong Shu's good manners, Ai Qun gained confidence in this persuasion, and immediately shouted: "Mr. Kong, you are a benevolent person. You are famous for loving the people like a son and sacrificing yourself for others. Now you have also seen it. I am 30 years old." With the army of tigers and wolves standing under the city, it will be easy to break the city!"

"But I, Da Qin, feel that God has the virtue of good life. I can't bear to slaughter innocent people. I hope that Mr. Kong will understand the overall situation and open the city gate to surrender. Our Qin army will never disturb the people, never bully the people, treat Zhao people as equals to Qin people, and starve people in the city. I, Qin Jun, will be responsible for everything, and I will never let the people go hungry!"

The corners of Kong Shuzheng's mouth curled up slightly, showing a trace of sneer and said: "In his job, he seeks to make good decisions. As the governor of Beichang County, he has the responsibility to protect the county's land. If I surrender, I will become a joke among the people of the world!"

After finishing speaking, Kong Shu turned his head to look at the officials beside him and the officers and soldiers on the tower, and shouted: "Soldiers of Great Zhao, are you willing to surrender!"

"Don't surrender! Swear to the death not to surrender!"

The officials and soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly. Although they were afraid of the Qin army under the city, they had no intention of surrendering.

In order to resist the Qin Dynasty, the officials who held pens every day drew out their sabers for the first time!

Zhao people, never surrender!

Hearing the intention of not surrendering from the city tower, Ai Qun was stunned for a while, and did not expect this ending.

Ai Qun pointed to the ugly cow-style cannon behind him, looked at Kong Shu and shouted: "Mr. Kong, do you know this thing? This thing is called a cannon. It is so powerful that it can turn the northern city wall into ruins of hell in an instant. Mr. Kong can think about it." clear!"

Ai Qun didn't give up, and wanted to frighten Kong Shuzheng with the power of artillery.

"So it's called artillery!" Kong Shu was suddenly enlightened, and finally understood the name of the so-called Tianlei equipment.

Seeing that Kong Shu was suddenly enlightened, Ai Qun was stunned again, thinking, isn't this Kong Shu afraid of artillery?Shouldn't there be a look of fear?Why did you show the look of sudden realization?

A few question marks hung in Ai Qun's mind, which made Ai Qun a little confused.

Since he didn't have time to think about it, after realizing that the persuasion was fruitless, he immediately rode back on his horse, and quickly returned to Luo Xing's side, sat on the horseback and bowed to Luo Xing, saying: "General, Kong Shu is right?" Surrender, let's see his posture, he is going to fight us to the end!"

Luo Xing sighed lightly, and regretfully said: "I've seen it all, if that's the case, let's fire!"

If Kong Shuzheng didn't surrender, he could only attack by force. We can't stop beichang city because of Kong Shuzheng.

PS: "Please order in full, order in full, order in full, and say important things three times!"

Chapter 931 Precise bombardment!

"Of order!" Ai Qun nodded solemnly, and then waved to a commanding officer not far away.

"The artillery battalion is ready, reload!"

"The artillery battalion is ready, reload!"

The commander shouted at the artillery position, while waving the command flag in his hand at the artillery position.

The commanding soldiers of the artillery position immediately conveyed the order after receiving the order. After the order was conveyed, the loaders stuffed the prepared black shells into the magazines one after another.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Qin army were excited, and finally they could see the fireworks show again!

Seeing the soldiers of the Qin Army stuffing black rice grains into the artillery, the officers and soldiers of the standing army on the tower were undoubtedly even more frightened. Their hands holding the sword were trembling. Although they had not seen the power of the artillery with their own eyes, their ears were calloused. up.

It was this thing that turned Changmen into ruins, and the entire army of 30 elites was annihilated!

"The whole army listens to the order and withdraws the city tower!" Zhang Shuzheng suddenly shouted!

Take down the tower?

All the officers, soldiers and officials were puzzled for a while, didn't they keep it?

"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?" Beichang Jun Cheng couldn't bear to ask in doubt.

"The Qin army's artillery is sharp, and the city walls cannot stop the Qin army. If we don't withdraw from the tower, we will be a living target for the Qin army's artillery. Only by going down the tower and fighting the Qin army in the city can we have a slight chance of victory. Yes Now, remove all the standing officers and soldiers from the other three towers and distribute them in the city!" Zhang Shu explained blankly.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shuzheng turned to leave. After hesitating for a while, Jun Cheng felt that it made sense, so he also left. Seeing this, all the officials and soldiers left the tower one after another. Soon, there was no one in the tower.

Qin army!

Seeing the officers and soldiers from the North Tower disappear, Luo Xing smiled amusedly and said: "This Kong Shu has something, and he actually withdrew the defenders. It seems that he wants to fight us in the street!"

"Then shall we still shell?" Ai Qun asked aloud.

Luo Xing shook his head, "Since there are no guards on the city tower, there is no need to bombard it. The shells also cost money. You can ask if you can blow up the chains of the suspension bridge and let the suspension bridge fall, saving us from filling the river to cross the road." !"

Beichang City is a big city, and it would take at least five rounds of shelling to raze a city wall to the ground. One round of shelling was 5000 shells, and five rounds was [-] shells, equivalent to [-] taels of silver.

The money is second, the main reason is that the shells are not easy to replenish, so save as much as possible, otherwise, there will be no shells at the end of the shot, and the seven hundred ugly cow-style artillery will become a pile of scrap iron, which is not as useful as bricks.

"Then go and ask!" Ai Qun nodded, and quickly rode his horse to the forward position of the artillery. After about tens of breaths, Ai Qun came to the forward position of the artillery and shouted to the artillerymen in the forward position: " The general has something to ask you, which one of you can blow up the chains of the suspension bridge and put the suspension bridge down without damaging the suspension bridge, whoever can do it, come out and respond immediately!"

"General, I can!"

As soon as Ai Qun finished speaking, a young artilleryman stood up without hesitation.

Ai Qun took a little look at the young artilleryman and saw that the latter was very confident, so he asked, "Really?"

The young artilleryman nodded seriously.

At this time, the captain of the artillery battalion of the first battalion on the side looked up at Ai Qun on the horse and smiled, "General, this is the famous sharpshooter of the first artillery battalion of our artillery battalion. Please rest assured, general!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!" Ai Qun nodded solemnly, and then rode back on his horse.

As soon as Ai Qun left, the artilleryman known as the sharpshooter immediately adjusted the index and position of the artillery. After the adjustment, the sharpshooter looked at his captain, who nodded slightly to encourage him.

The sharpshooter took a deep breath, fixed his eyes on the big iron chain above the suspension bridge, the arm was thick, and the hand holding the traction rope secretly exerted force, and then pulled it suddenly!

"Boom!"

The tiger body of the Ugly Cow Cannon shook, and the shells burst out from the barrel, setting off a burst of fireworks, and the dust around the cannon also rose due to the huge rear thrust.

Everyone stared at the suspension bridge, and then heard a loud "boom", the position of the iron chain above the suspension bridge exploded, and the scattered stones of the city wall splashed around together with the blazing heat waves. The iron chain also exploded instantly.

The suspension bridge has two iron chains, and after losing one of the chains as a anchor, the suspension bridge began to crumble.

"Reload!"

"fire!"

"Boom!"

"boom"

The sharp gunner is worthy of being a sharp gunner. After a successful blow, he was not immersed in the triumphant joy, and continued to shoot without hesitation. The whole process can be described as smooth and smooth!

There was another bang above the suspension bridge, a big hole was blown out, gravel splashed everywhere, and the only remaining iron chain of the suspension bridge was also exploded. Without the fixation of the iron chain, the suspension bridge fell down with a loud bang.

boom!

With a bang, the suspension bridge lay flat and steady between the moats!

"Bombard the city gate, blast it open!"

"As ordered!"

The military order was passed down immediately, and the sharpshooter continued to control the artillery, and hit again!

"boom"

There was a loud bang, and the thick city gate fell down. As soon as the gate was opened, the soldiers of the Qin army saw a large number of standing army officers and soldiers gathered inside the city gate.

The city gate is gone!

Seeing that the city gate was blown open, Luo Xing immediately turned his gaze to Alukgo who was beside him, "General Gu Yuan, it's up to you for the rest!"

Alukege drew out the scimitar at his waist, pointed the sharp blade directly at the city, and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the grassland, kill!!"

With a bang, Alukgo took the lead, rode a bloody BMW, brandished a scimitar, passed through the artillery positions, stepped over the suspension bridge, and rushed into the city bravely.

Rumble!

"kill!"

"kill!"

There was a burst of killing and shouting and the roar of horseshoes, and the 15 prairie army swept towards Beichang City like a black torrent, with momentum like a rainbow, and the fighting spirit was overwhelming!

The moment the Qin army launched a charge, the officers and soldiers of the garrison at the gate of the city fled to the city one after another. Seeing this, Alukege couldn't help showing disdain, and the warriors of the Prairie Army were also excited, and undoubtedly regarded the officers and soldiers of the garrison as two feet The sheep didn't notice it at all.

But at the moment when Alukege led the army into the city, suddenly white fog filled the sky, Alukege closed his eyes subconsciously, and leaned against the horse's back, but the warriors of the grassland army behind him were not so fast. Reflexes, eyes into white mist.

PS: "Ask for a full order, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a reward, and ask for four daily requests. Thank you for your support. With you, the author is not alone. Long live Daqin!!"

Chapter 932 Enter the city!

"what!"

"Damn it, it's lime!"

"thump!"

The white mist turned out to be lime, and the lime got into the eyes, causing the warriors of the Prairie Army to suffer unceasingly. Many warriors fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the cavalry behind them. Just one trick of lime turned hundreds of warriors into rotten meat on the ground.

The prairie warriors at the back were warned by the front, and they all closed their eyes to prevent lime from getting into their eyes.

"Fire arrows!"

"Boo! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"

"Ding dong!"

"clang!"

"puff!"

Lime's tricks passed, and the warriors who rushed into the city were greeted with a rain of arrows. The sharp feather arrows shot into the horses, causing the horses to fall to the ground, and all the warriors on the horses were seriously injured. The upper fish scale armor can resist most of the arrow rain, but there are also unlucky ones who happen to be shot in the face or throat.

Several waves of arrows rained down, and more than a hundred grassland warriors fell off their horses.

"Damn it, people!"

When the rain of arrows and Shihui stopped, Alukgo suddenly found that there was no one in front of him. The hundreds of standing army defenders just now seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Whether it was the gate of the city, the left and right sides, or the streets in front, there was no one there.

It’s fine if there’s no one, and there’s no sound yet. Apart from the hoofbeats of the army, the shouts of killing and shouting, and the wailing of the warriors, there’s really no sound in the city at all. In addition, the weather is gloomy at this time, which makes Beichang City look desolate and weird. .

It was the first time that Alukgo faced such a situation, and he couldn't help feeling horrified.

"Stop! Stop the whole army!" To be on the safe side, Alukgo immediately ordered the whole army to stop charging!

The order to stop charging was conveyed quickly, which puzzled many grassland warriors. They did not understand why Alukgo stopped charging. You must know that at this time, only a thousand cavalry rushed into the city, and there were 10,000+ outside the city. People wait for the people in front to get in.

"Drive! Drive!"

"Shut up!"

The eighth-rank Jianzhong general Saiyin Shanda came to Alukgo on a horse, and asked rather puzzled: "General, why did you stop marching? Only a thousand people from our army entered the city, and they were blocked at the gate of the city." , causing the army outside the city to be unable to enter the city through the city gate, this is too dangerous!"

"Zhao Jun must have set up an ambush in the city. We must have more troops entering the city, so that we don't have to worry about Zhao Jun's ambush. Our troops are strong enough to suppress them!"

Alukege did not immediately reply to Saiyin Shanda, but carefully observed the two streets on the left and right and the North Street in front of him. After some observation, Alukege's face was a little ugly, and his tone was relatively low. The army ambush is hiding there, and they are hiding in the houses!"

In the whole city, only the dwellings can hide people, so there is no need to think about it.

"Residence?" Sai Yin Shanda was taken aback for a moment. Generally speaking, when two armies are at war, neither side would hide in a residence to ambush the enemy. This would make the enemy mistake the civilians for ambushes and kill innocent people.

Therefore, the regular troops of the royal courts of all countries regard this as a taboo, and only some rogues and mobs will hide in the houses to ambush the enemy, regardless of this taboo.

"This is difficult. The military law clearly prohibits our troops from harassing the people when entering the city!" Saiyin Shanda said solemnly.

Alukege pondered for a moment, hesitating in his heart, finally took a deep breath, and made up his mind: "Special matters, special orders, pass on, the army will continue to enter the city, search for traces of Zhao Jun in a comprehensive manner, and search in residential areas, but Do not plunder the people and kill the people!"

"Obey!" Sai Yin Shanda replied with a solemn expression.

"The general has an order, the army will continue to enter the city, covering the search!"
