As long as one team of soldiers does this kind of thing, there must be a second team, there is no doubt about it.
Throughout the afternoon, there were cries and begging for mercy everywhere, and soldiers could be seen breaking into people's houses everywhere.
In the end, more and more Jin troops began to join, and the military orders could no longer be maintained.
The news soon reached Zhou Kai, who became furious when he heard about it!
He was a general. Now that something like this happened, one can imagine his mood. But just as he was about to go to those soldiers to settle accounts, Puyang County Sheriff stopped him and asked hurriedly: "General, what are you doing?"
"I have strict military laws!" Zhou Kai said angrily.
"General, wait a minute, you can't do this." Puyang County Sheriff explained in a trembling voice: "I don't know how many soldiers were involved in this incident. If the general is to deal with it according to military law, how many people will be involved? There are probably many captains among them. , our army’s morale is already in turmoil, and there are widespread complaints. If we deal with so many people at once, there may be a mutiny..."
What he said is very likely to happen.
After Zhou Kai listened, he stood still for a moment, with a look of hesitation on his face: "This..."
"Well, the soldiers are hungry and have been treated like this by King Qin. They must have panicked. Let's think of other ways." Puyang County Sheriff said again.
After being reminded, Zhou Kai turned a blind eye to the matter for fear of causing a mutiny, but the consequences were out of control.
Now the Jin army has run out of food. On the first day, the soldiers were forced to go out and plunder the people, but they were not punished. On the second day, other soldiers who did not participate saw their superiors acquiescing. , the result can be imagined!
For a time, countless soldiers rushed to the streets, and there were sounds of banging doors everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Puyang was in complete chaos. Even if Zhou Kai wanted to enforce strict military discipline at this time, it was already impossible!
At the same time, the Qin army camped.
Falcons circled above.
Not long after, Lin Chu walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please pay me back in detail."
"Send it up."
"Yes." Lin Chu stepped forward quickly and respectfully put the information on Shuai's case.
It was a small bamboo tube, only about the size of a finger. After opening the stopper and taking out the small strip of cloth inside, Xiao Yuan also unfolded it and looked at it.
After he finished reading, he smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the time has come to attack the city."
"Generals from all ministries, immediately gather their troops and launch an attack on Puyang!"
"Please, capture this city within two hours!"
"No!" All the generals clasped their fists.
According to the report carefully, there is already chaos in the city. If we don’t attack now, then when will we wait?
The Qin army was originally besieging Puyang. After giving the military order, it didn't take long for troops from the four walls to attack the city.
This time, the Qin army did not show any pretense. After arriving at the city, generals from four directions issued orders to attack almost simultaneously.
"ignition!"
"put"
The oil altar was ejected by the trebuchet, drawing an arc in the air and hitting various places in the city gate one after another.
boom! boom!
Explosions sounded from time to time, mixed with people's screams.
Arrows rained from the sky, sweeping in and crackling everywhere in the city defense.
"siege"
A general's sword is unsheathed.
Following the order, countless Qin troops began to rush forward.
A series of ladders were carried by more than a dozen soldiers, and they quickly rushed to the bottom of the city. After setting up the ladders, the soldiers of the Qin army began to climb crazily using their hands and feet.
There are not many Jin soldiers on the city. At this moment, I don’t know how many people are still snatching food in the city.
The civil strife has not stopped, how can we resist the enemy's siege?
"The Qin Army is coming! The Qin Army is coming"
Several soldiers held on to their crooked helmets and ran away screaming.
There were also Jin generals shouting at the top of their lungs: "Don't panic! Don't panic! Hold on! Hold on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an oil tank crashed down not far from him. The explosion was accompanied by sparks, which made the general subconsciously bend down and shrink his head. Then he grabbed a soldier by the collar and glared. The head said: "Hurry up and call for reinforcements!"
"Ah? Yes, yes..." The soldier was so frightened that his voice changed. After hearing this, he held on to his helmet and left in a hurry.
In such a situation, how could the Jin army be able to hold on to the brave and capable Qin army? Moreover, the soldiers and soldiers had no morale at all, and no intention of fighting to the death. There was still civil strife in the back, and this was the only thing in the front. The children are also running away with their heads in their hands.
Xiao Yuan said that Puyang must be captured in two hours, but in fact, in less than half an hour, the Qin army followed the ladder and fiercely attacked the city.
One city was broken, and soon, all the defense lines fell one after another. The entire city defense was quickly occupied by the Qin army, and then the tall city gate was smashed open.
"Kill"
Countless Qin troops began to swarm in.
In the south city, a Jin army general held a sword and led a group of soldiers to fight and retreat. However, he was soon surrounded by the Qin army that broke into the city.
There were enemies in all directions, and countless halberds were all aimed at him. General Jin looked around, couldn't help but take two steps back, and then swallowed hard.
"If you don't put down your weapons! If you dare to resist again, you will be shot to death!"
Following the Qin general's loud shout and clang, the Jin general's sword fell, and then there was the sound of weapons falling to the ground one after another.
"Hold them all!"
The south gate was the first to be breached, and the Jin army here was forced to surrender. The other three directions also quickly achieved victory, and the situation was similar to that here.
Subsequently, nearly 180,000 Qin troops entered the city in full force.
The surrounding city defenses immediately became garrisoned by soldiers of the Qin army, and black flags were also planted on the top of Puyang City.
Two hours later.
Sheriff's Mansion.
Since the Jin army garrisoned, this has been the place where Zhou Kai's military orders were issued and where all the generals discussed their military affairs.
At this time, this place was being heavily besieged by the Qin army.
"King"
"Yes." Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly to indicate that the generals did not need to be polite. Then he got off his horse and raised his head toward the door of the mansion: "How is the situation?"
"Most of the Jin troops in the city have surrendered and have been temporarily detained. Only the governor's mansion is left." Zhang Dashan returned.
"How many people are inside?"
"Preliminary estimates are that there are no less than a thousand people, and there should be many Jin generals."
Xiao Yuan nodded, then raised his right hand slightly.
Following his movements, the Qin troops stepped forward with their bows drawn, while the soldiers in the front row half-crouched down.
Just when he was about to give the order to release the arrow, the door of the mansion suddenly opened. Before he could see anyone, he heard a voice:
"Don't shoot the arrow! Don't shoot the arrow! The villain surrenders, the villain surrenders"
Xiao Yuan waved his right hand back.
The sound of neat armor clashing sounded, and the Qin army drew back their bows and retreated.
Seeing this situation, Puyang County Sheriff dared to run out in a hurry, then knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"Zhang Chengfang, the governor of Puyang County, meets His Highness the King of Qin"
