Chapter 534: I am the Emperor of the Great Qin, Ying Chengjiao. Are you willing to surrender to Qin?
"Drop your weapons and surrender! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Drop your weapons and surrender! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Drop your weapons and surrender! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
“…”
The Qin army attacked in an orderly manner through the west gate, and the passionate Qin Feng's "Wu Yi" was transformed into eight words - abandon your weapons and surrender, and those who surrender will not be killed.
"The Wei people will never surrender! Kill!"
Zhou Shi personally boosted morale, wielding a two-foot bronze sword and joining the battle again.
Linji is gone, but the Wei Kingdom is still there.
If we can kill one more Qin dog in Linji, Daliang will have to face one less Qin dog!
The Wei soldiers, led by their own general, fought stubbornly, fighting and retreating.
They had a strong will to fight. After the restoration of the Wei State, in order to keep the powerful Qin out of the country, 80% of their elite troops were stationed here.
But some things cannot be achieved by just having a strong will.
The Wei army used bronze weapons.
After the fall of the Wei State, the Wei nobles not only secretly accumulated weapons for themselves, but also bought discarded weapons from Gan Luo, melted them down and reforged them, thus accumulating this batch of standardized weapons.
Without the backing of the state, the two brothers Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who launched the peasant uprising were considered lucky if they had a hoe, sickle or other farm tool at the beginning of the uprising. Many people even joined the battle with just a wooden stick.
Compared with Zhang Chu, Wei's weapons were already excellent.
However, compared with the Qin army which had updated its weapons and replaced them with fine iron weapons, these bronze wares were completely inferior.
It broke in the fierce collision, and no blood was seen when the Qin army's black armor was cut.
Perhaps the will of the Wei army is not inferior to that of the Qin army, but their physical fitness and weapons and equipment are far inferior to those of the Qin army!
The Qin army swept in like a sandstorm and easily swallowed up the Wei army, causing the Wei army to be defeated!
In this hopeless battle, a Wei soldier threw away the broken sword in his hand, raised his arms high to show that he had nothing in his hands, and surrendered.
The Wei soldier in charge of the execution stabbed the surrendering Wei soldier in the back with a sword, killing the traitor who had shaken the army's morale.
"Those who surrender will be killed!"
Zhou Shi’s voice echoed within a radius of fifty steps.
"Have you forgotten the 200,000 Zhao soldiers who died in the Battle of Changping? How could the Qin dogs let us live? Kill!"
But this time, the messenger who had been delivering messages to him did not spread his voice, but instead dropped the two-foot-long bronze sword in his hand.
The number of people laying down their weapons and surrendering is increasing exponentially.
There were too many soldiers surrendering, and the Wei soldiers supervising the execution soon could not kill them all. The surrendered soldiers turned their swords inward, worked together to kill the Wei soldiers supervising the execution around them, and then threw down their weapons and surrendered.
These outdated bronze weapons had difficulty cutting through the Qin army's black armor, but were very sharp in cutting through their own simple wooden Wei armor.
It is true that the Qin army buried alive 200,000 surrendered soldiers in the Battle of Changping, but that was the only time it happened. After Lu Buwei came to power, he implemented benevolent policies, and burying alive and massacring soldiers was no longer encouraged.
After the First Emperor seized power, although he re-established the rule of law and abolished Lu Buwei's eclectic school, he did not engage in large-scale massacres of surrendered soldiers.
If you don’t lower it, you will die. If you lower it, there is a high probability that you will survive.
For the Wei soldiers who were at the end of their rope and saw no hope, this choice made them feel a little pressured to be the first to surrender, but there was no pressure at all when everyone surrendered together.
Batch after batch of Wei soldiers who had abandoned their weapons were led aside by the Qin army, leaving only Zhou Shi and his personal guards in the center of the field.
If the will to resist is strong, or one is ruthless enough, the siege does not end after the city is captured. There is still a most brutal battle - street fighting.
Streets and alleys, houses and shops.
No one knows where a sudden arrow will be shot from or where a huge knife will fall from the corner.
There was no street fighting in the Battle of Linji.
The failure came too quickly, so quickly that Zhou Shi had not yet made any arrangements for street fighting. He did not stir up the hatred of the people of Linji against the Qin State, nor did he kill the people of Linji and turn Linji into a military city.
It's not that he can't do it, nor that he can't be ruthless, but that the Wei general could never think of it.
Linji City, which was as solid as a rock and cost the Wei State half of its national strength and was thought to be able to stop the Qin army for at least a year, was breached in a day.
When he was building Linji, he was preparing for Wang Jian's siege.
If Wang Jian, the most capable fighter, could stop him, who else couldn’t? Even the Second Emperor couldn’t stop him.
The siege ladders, chariots, and the fierce and powerful Qin army were all within Zhou Shi's expectations.
Hot air balloons and wooden kites are very common. General Zhou, who comes from a famous family, dared not even think about seeing them, let alone seeing them.
When did the outcome of a war no longer lie on the ground, but fly into the sky?
Protected by many personal soldiers, Zhou Shi looked at the densely packed black-armored Qin army around him with a look of despair. He looked up at the dark night sky, felt dizzy, and fell into the blood-stained clothes of his personal soldiers.
[It is better to get Ji Bu's promise than to get a hundred pounds of gold. I hope the rumors are true and my king can wait for reinforcements...]
The various noisy sounds that had been ringing in my ears suddenly faded away.
Zhou Shi half-leaned up and stared with his eyes open, and saw that the advancing Qin army stopped and stood still, as if waiting for something.
Not long after, a man in bright silver armor and very majestic appearance rode his horse and slowly came from the empty path left by the Qin army.
"Zhoushi."
The man reined in his horse, the sound neither light nor heavy.
"God damn Qin dog! Your grandfather is here!"
Zhou Shi laughed wildly, his hoarse voice sounded like two pieces of wood being rubbed against each other, and blood foam sprayed everywhere from his mouth.
Meng Tian, Li Xin, Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo... all the Qin generals and soldiers changed their expressions. The murderous intent that instantly condensed made the already cold battlefield even colder!
If the king is humiliated, the minister will die.
The man in silver armor was naturally the second emperor Ying Chengjiao. As the target of scolding, he did not care much. He raised his hand to signal everyone not to cause trouble, and temporarily saved Zhou Shi who was pointed at by countless Qin arrows.
"I am the Emperor of the Great Qin, Ying Chengjiao. Are you willing to surrender to Qin?"
Zhou Shi has great prestige in the State of Wei. If Zhou Shi can be surrendered, many people can be saved in the subsequent battle to liberate the State of Wei.
Ying Chengjiao, who had experienced the fifty-six nationalities as one family, did not feel any hostility from people of his time and regarded all the people of the seven nations as his own subjects.
The war began.
When the six kingdoms prospered, the people suffered.
The six kingdoms were destroyed and the people suffered.
"I am the Supreme General and Prime Minister of the Great Wei, Zhou Shi! How can I surrender to a Qin dog like you! Hahahaha!"
Zhou Shi laughed wantonly and crazily.
"The reason I've survived till now is to see who will defeat me! People always say that Qin State is full of brave generals, but that's not true! If that were true , why would I want a dog king like you to lead the army in person? Huh? Hahahaha!"
He tilted his neck back, laughed hoarsely, crossed the two-foot bronze Wei sword across his neck, and pulled decisively!
[Chen Ping is right. We should wait a little longer and not be the first to bear the wrath of Qin...]
Blood spurted out and spurted, Zhou Shi became increasingly conscious, his thoughts stopped there, and he reached the end.
The night was dark, the moon was at its zenith, and the Qin army captured Linji in half a day.
Zhou Shi, the defender of Linji, the general and prime minister of Wei State, would rather die than surrender, so he drew his sword and committed suicide to preserve his reputation.
