Stone City, on the tower.
Zeng Gong was wearing armor and had a cold expression.
In the next battle against Qin, Zeng Gong was also quite nervous. Important barriers such as Hengjiangkou and Caishiji have fallen one after another, and the Stone City where he is located may not be able to stop them.
If Stone City cannot be defended, Jinling City will be defeated, so Zeng Gong himself is not sure at all.
Even Fan Chong and Sima Jing were defeated, let alone him?
Zeng Gong didn't think he was better than Fan Chong and Sima Jing, so even though he was prepared, he still felt uneasy.
All Zeng Gong could do was hold on.
Do your best, obey destiny, and do everything with a clear conscience.
Zeng Gong stared into the distance, and there was a rush of footsteps. The scout came to Zeng Gong and reported: "General, the latest news is that the Qin army led by Lin Feng is less than an hour away from us. At most In another hour, Lin Feng's army will arrive at Stone City."
"I know, let's explore again."
Zeng Gong nodded.
After the sentry retreated, Zeng Gong looked at his deputy, Peng Qianhua, and said, "Old Peng, let's fight to the death. Do you think we can stop him?"
Peng Qianhua is nearly forty years old. He has an old man and a young man. He is burdened with the life of his family.
After hearing Zeng Gong's words, Peng Qianhua's eyes wandered.
Immediately, he regained his composure.
Peng Qianhua said: "I have followed the general for many years and obeyed the general's arrangements in everything."
Zeng Gong shook his head and smiled: "It seems that you are not sure either."
The expression on Peng Qianhua's rough face was still indifferent, and he didn't say much.
Zeng Gong said no more and stood at the top of the city, silently looking into the distance as time passed by little by little.
In the city, people's hearts are floating.
The Qin army came to attack, and Sima Jing surrendered in Caishiji. Can Stone City still be defended?
Many people have no intention of fighting.
An hour passed in the past, and Zeng Gong felt that the time was very long. Now, he felt that time was short and he had not made any preparations. A large army had already appeared on the official road outside the city.
The mighty Qin army has appeared.
The Qin army came quickly.
Large numbers of Qin troops were stationed outside Stone City.
The dark military formation exuded a murderous atmosphere, as if black clouds were pressing over the city, making countless people above the city feel depressed.
Lin Feng rode a horse and came to the front of the formation. He looked at the Stone City in front and smiled in his heart.
It is true that Stone City is strong, but it is a pity that the general trend of Jin's defeat has taken shape. Stone City has lost its people and has lost the possibility of victory.
Lin Feng walked thirty steps outside the city before stopping. His true energy was flowing, he raised his head and looked towards the city tower, and said loudly: "Zeng Gong, I, the Duke of Qin Town, Lin Feng, immediately open the city gate and surrender. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy."
"No way!"
Zeng Gong replied loudly.
His eyes were sharp and he clenched his fists and said: "Sima Jing is a member of the Jin clan. He thinks arrogantly that he can persuade me to surrender, but not all of our Jin soldiers are weaklings. Our Jin soldiers are willing to fight to the death. I Zeng Gong, fight to the death."
brush!
Sima Jing's expression suddenly changed.
There was a look of helplessness on his face.
When he was in Caishiji, in order to appear useful, he vowed that he could persuade Zeng Gong, the defender of Stone City, to surrender. Unexpectedly, as soon as Zeng Gong opened his mouth, he directly mocked him for being weak and surrendered to Qin.
Sima Jing glanced at Lin Feng.
Fortunately, Lin Feng did not deal with him.
As long as Lin Feng didn't deal with it, he would just pretend to be a quail and stay in the army honestly.
Lin Feng was not surprised when he heard Zeng Gong's words. Sima Jing sent a letter to Zeng Gong, but Zeng Gong never said anything. At that time, Lin Feng made a judgment and knew that Zeng Gong would definitely resist.
If Zeng Gong wanted to surrender, he would have taken action long ago.
Lin Feng did not further persuade Zeng Gong and said directly: "To all the soldiers in Stone City, this time our Qin State attacks Jin State, our troops are divided into three groups."
"The route I am on is responsible for attacking Jinling City. You all know the current results of the battle. We have captured Lujiang and Jiujiang, destroyed Hengjiangkou, captured Caishiji, and have reached the outside of Jinling City."
"The second route is the army led by Meng Chong from the south. He led the army to sweep across all parts of the south of Jin. Sima Chong sent Shi Yu to resist, but Shi Yu himself was defeated, and the situation in the south of Jin completely collapsed .”
"The third route is the army led by our Qin State General Wang Lie. The Jin State has been resisting and is counting on Qi State's rescue."
"it's out of the question."
"The army led by Wang Lie fought with Qi State and blocked Qi State's reinforcements, making it impossible for Qi State to rush south for reinforcements. Even after Wang Lie suppressed Qi State's army, he would dedicate part of his troops to further attack Jin State. .”
"The situation in the Jin Kingdom is now over."
"The Jin Kingdom must be defeated."
Lin Feng raised his voice and said loudly: "The Lu family and Gu family of Jin have all surrendered to Qin. Now Jin has no chance to turn defeat into victory. All of you surrender immediately, Qin will not kill you."
Wow! !
On the tower, many soldiers were discussing.
Lin Feng didn't give him any treatment, he just said he wouldn't kill him. This treatment was extremely ordinary. Even so, countless soldiers were still talking and feeling turbulent in their hearts.
The reason is simple, Jin can't stop it.
The Qin State reached the imperial capital of the Jin State.
Nanfang Shiyu also lost.
Qi's reinforcements were also blocked.
How to resist?
Zeng Gong secretly scolded Lin Feng for being shameless, intending to shake his military morale as soon as he opened his mouth. Zeng Gong looked solemn and said loudly: "Lin Feng, if you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."
Lin Feng sneered.
Zeng Gong's words seemed childish.
He can confuse him first, but of course he has to talk first. In fact, this is the advantage of having an advantage. If I have strong strength and take the initiative, I can take a public opinion offensive and adopt a strategy of subduing others without fighting.
Without this premise, it is natural to just do it if you don't accept it, and everything will depend on your true strength.
Lin Feng could not be provoked by Zeng Gong and continued: "Soldiers of the Jin State, you are resisting desperately. Once you die on the battlefield, who will take care of your family? Your family will have a difficult life, and your wife and children will be separated. .”
"As long as you die valuable on the battlefield, that's all. But today's desperate efforts, apart from causing innocent casualties, are completely useless in other respects and are pointless resistance."
"Zeng Gong is aware of the situation and knows that Jin cannot stop it."
"However, for selfish reasons and to fulfill his desire to be a loyal minister, Zeng Gong insists on fighting to the death and drags you to your death."
"Zeng Gong wants to fight to the death, but no one can say anything, and everyone admires loyal ministers."
"It's just that if Zeng Gong wants to fight to the death, then keep those who are willing to fight to the death, and let go of the others who are unwilling to fight to the death. In this way, everyone will be benevolent and be benevolent, and be benevolent and die. There is nothing much to say."
Lin Feng said loudly: "It is not appropriate to drag everyone to death like this."
boom! !
The discussion on the tower became louder.
Zeng Gong clenched his fists.
Lin Feng is really a hateful person. In Lin Feng's words, he was loyal and wrong, but Lin Feng's mouth was simply messy.
However, soldiers will be bewitched if they cannot stop them.
This is the crux.
Lin Feng didn't care about the defense in the city. With a flash of light in his eyes, he said loudly: "Everyone, listen, the Qin State is not willing to cause more killings. If Zeng Gong is killed, we, the Jin State, promise to use your existing official positions to kill Zeng Gong." The official is promoted to the third level. Stone City can't be defended anymore, so everyone should be demoted."
This is Lin Feng's intention.
He wanted to target Zeng Gong.
If all the words of persuasion did not work, Lin Feng would order a strong attack.
As for now, let’s do some confusion first.
What's more, Lin Feng believed that with the battles at Hengjiangkou and Caishiji, many people in the army would make a choice.
Zeng Gong swept around and said loudly: "Lin Feng, you are trying to incite people to rebel with your confusing words. It is in vain. I, Zeng Gong, guard Stone City, and everyone in Stone City is my confidant." , your plan..."
Phew!
A muffled sound came out.
Zeng Gong's cheeks froze and he felt a pain in his back. Immediately afterwards, a heartbreaking pain came, piercing through the heart and emanating from the chest. Zeng Gong looked down and saw a bloody sword tip sticking out.
The bright red blood dripped from the tip of the sword.
Zeng Gong looked back and found that the person who took action was his deputy general Peng Qianhua.
"Lao Peng, why is it you? You, why are you..."
Zeng Gong opened his mouth to speak.
Peng Qianhua is his old subordinate, and he has a good relationship with him on the battlefield.
Peng Qianhua looked guilty and gritted his teeth and said: "General, I'm sorry. You want to die, and no one will stop you. But brothers, I don't want to die. General, I don't want to die either. Because if I die, my family will not survive. Go down."
"I……"
Zeng Gong was suddenly speechless.
Are what Peng Qianhua said wrong?
Perhaps Peng Qianhua was not loyal to the Jin State, which was wrong. But Peng Qianhua chose to survive, which may not be wrong for Peng Qianhua personally.
"General, have a safe journey."
Peng Qianhua pulled out his sword and blood spurted out.
Zeng Gong's mouth was bleeding, his expression was miserable, and his eyes were lonely. The next moment, Zeng Gong could no longer stand still, and fell to the ground with a plop. Endless darkness swallowed Zeng Gong's sight, and he lost his breath in the blink of an eye.
Peng Qianhua's body was trembling slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, open the city gate and welcome the Qin army into the city."
One by one, the soldiers obeyed orders and acted.
No one avenged Zeng Gong.
No one mentioned loyalty to Jin.
The current situation is that when disaster strikes, they all fly away, and they all choose to surrender.
