Chapter sixty-ninth sin

It was all the Chu army chasing the Qin army, how could the Qin army chase the Chu army?! Pan Wuming, who had finally seized the siege mission, was anxious for a moment, pointed at the retreating sword and shield and roared. He was still angry. In front of the main gate of the south gate, the young cannon leader shouted in his tender voice: "Let it go--!"

‘Boom! Boom…’ The densely arranged artillery aimed at the Qin army that was rushing out. The solid bullets in the shells directly knocked the Qin soldiers who rushed to the front into two pieces. Because they were firing at close range, blood foam splattered on the young cannon leader who was shouting to open fire, and on the hot cannon barrel. The shotgun fired injured the sword and shield of his side who could not dodge in time. The shotgun penetrated the wooden shield and broke the leg of an infantryman.

No one cares about these during the battle. The young gunman shouted a standard command, while the young gunman quickly cleaned the cannon chamber according to the established steps, loaded it quickly, and finally ignited it quickly.

The Qin army must not defend the city to the death. The Qin army's plan was to take advantage of the defeat of the Chu army in the gate to rush into the Chu army's array, destroy or even seize the Chu army's witchcraft. What they did not expect was the rate of fire and type of bullets, as well as the release density of the witchcraft. The three doors were only more than twenty meters wide. At this twenty meters distance, there were two companies of thirty-two-jin cannons and one battalion's fifteen-jin cannons.

Twenty-four cannons can be allocated for each meter. Such a terrifying cannon density caused the Qin army to kill as many people as they poured out. The cannons hit about a quarter of an hour. When the fire broke out, the city gate was full of dead bodies and flesh, and the road was already red. The swords and shields who knew the shame and bravely attacked again. This time, they really attacked in.

Stepping on the bodies of the Qin army, swords, shields, spears, and archers entered the city one by one. The city gate was less than a mile away from the royal palace Gaomen, and the last few thousand guards guarded the Gaomen. No matter how the Chu army rushed to the spear, these people would rather die than retreat. The bodies became higher and higher, and there was no way to clean them up. At the end, these corpses stopped the pace of the Chu army's spears and soldiers fighting against the spears.

"Send artillery! Pass the artillery!!" Pan Wuming did not like artillery, but in this situation, he could only let the artillery go forward and bombard. Gaomen is different from Zhimen. Zhimen is a door, and there is a screen wall outside the Gaomen. In the end, thousands of guards guarded the narrow path between the screen wall and the gate. The Chu army rushed several times but failed to break their queue.

"Cannons are set off!" The young cannon leader's voice sounded again, and the Chu army quickly moved away from the position. The guards thrust their whole body tightened when they heard the tender voice. In the previous quarter of the massacre, except for the rumbling cannons, this sound was the most harsh.

"I'm going to die!" someone shouted sadly in the array of guards.

"Let it..." The field guns were ready to be used. As soon as the big frame was put down, the gunner began to load. Before the gunman could command, the gunshot let out an angry roar. In the dark night, the cannon flames flashed, and the shells directly smashed the screen wall outside the Gaomen. The broken rammed earth wall fell backwards and hit the guards behind the wall.

"Let it go!" The screen wall fell and exposed the Gaomen inside, and the artillery immediately blew the Gaomen. At this time, arrows were like rain on the wall of the palace, and many artillery soldiers were injured. More than a thousand archers under the city immediately suppressed them, shooting the crossbowmen on the top of the city so that they could not raise their heads.

‘Boom-!’ The cannon leader placed behind him was like before, aiming at the top of the city wall, and the seven-foot-high female wall shattered.

"Mother, why is this..." Fusu looked at the Mother Queen with the rumbling cannon. Although he was still ignorant, he also knew that the Mother Queen was wearing mourning clothes. He remembered that when the Empress Dowager Huayang died, his mother also had similar outfits.

"The gangsters in the gate angered my uncle, and my mother wanted to apologize to my uncle." The skeleton (bent her hat tassel made of hemp rope), the skeleton (roll up the lower edge of the top), the skeleton is Mi Qian's current dress, which means the same as apologizing for her.

"I want to apologize to my uncle, too." Fusu was puzzled by his mother's intention, and he was not sure that there was a bloody war outside the uterus.

"Queen, the eldest son should not be left in the palace." The three gates in the south city were all defeated by the Chu army's witchcraft, and Changwenjun immediately entered the Liuying Palace. The city gate was broken, and the common people recruited in the daytime had already escaped. Now there are broken soldiers everywhere in the city, and the entire Xianyang is in terrible chaos. Qin is not a prince, and Changwenjun is worried that Fusu will be killed when he stays in the palace.

"Then..." Mi Qian looked at her son. Staying in the palace is dangerous, and going out to apologize. At night, she was worried that Fusu would be injured.

"The eldest son is the nephew of King Jing, and King Jing will not harm the eldest son." Wei Zhuang, Li Si was one step late. Both of them were smart people and knew that the safest place in Xianyang City was Liuying Palace.

"Fusu, are you afraid of my uncle?" Mi Qian looked at her son.

"Not afraid." Fusu shook his head repeatedly. "Since my uncle is unhappy, I should apologize to my mother and I."

"Please go quickly with the queen! Please go quickly with the queen!" Mi Qian was about to speak, and a blood-covered guard rushed up outside the Mingtang.

"How? How about the war?" Li Si jumped up in fear, but he just jumped up with his body and his mind was extremely clear.

"Jing people, Jing people... are about to enter the city." The guards reluctantly said this and fell down. Only then did everyone see his hand pressing on his waist. After falling down, a thick blood gushed out of the blood hole and flowed on the floor of Mingtang.

"Ah..." The 'General' did not enter Xianyang, but entered the royal city. When the Chu army was about to enter the royal city, the concubines were so scared that they couldn't cry. Li Si and Wei looked scared, and the two hurriedly bowed to Mi Qian: "The country and ancestral temples of the Qin Dynasty are all in the hands of the queen!"

When the Chu State was about to be destroyed, the Empress Dowager rushed to Qin State. Now the Qin State was about to be destroyed, and the ministers pushed themselves out to apologize to Brother Wang. Mi Qian, who walked down the ranks with Fusu's small hand and foot, suddenly thought so. Of course, compared to marrying into the Qin Palace, she was not worried that Brother Wang would harm her and Fusu. What she really worried about was whether her husband had really died as the rumor said, and the country of Qin was the country. Is the Qin Dynasty really going to destroy?

"Stop—!" The last guard fell for a long time, and the artillery was still roaring, and the commander of the cannon company had to shout. This time the artillery bombardment lasted for two quarters of an hour, and even after the bombardment stopped, the general's ears were still buzzing.

The Kumen, which was smashed by cannons, suddenly opened, and the light suddenly lit up. A temple man came out and shouted in Chu language: "The Queen of Eiyi wants to apologize to the King of Chu! The Queen of Eiyi wants to apologize to the King of Chu!"

"Queen?" the temple man shouted several times before Pan Wuming understood what he was saying.

"Report to the general, it is Princess Chi. The king has his life and must not hurt Princess Chi and Prince Fusu." The strategist around Pan Wuming said anxiously. He was not a strategist in the Cai army, but a strategist in the Ying army. Xiong Jing was worried that Pan Wuming would fight too hard, so he specially arranged a strategist to stand beside him to remind him.

"Ask apologize at this time..." Master Cai had already taken the Gao Gate and was about to break into Lu Gate. At this time, Princess Chi came to apologize.

"General Pan, the king has his own destiny!" The strategist reminded again.

"Does Xianyang surrender?" The army Sima Cai Bu was a little discouraged and could only ask if Xianyang surrendered or not.

Apology is a shame, but all the soldiers who can fight have died. In order to protect the country, especially to keep the country sacrifices, the kings of the pre-Qin Dynasty will apology and surrender. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the kings who apology and surrender will be pardoned and can still survive in some cases. In the Warring States Period, it is impossible to survive in the country, because they have to take all their lands and can only be sacrificed. When Qin State joins the world, this bottom line will be broken in the end, even if it is the Wei State that obeys Qin State, it will eventually be sacrificed during the Second Emperor of Qin.

The Qin State was far from the time to surrender. The Chu army just took advantage of the Qin army's pursuit and then pulled out Xianyang. Since Mi Qian came out to apologize, she would naturally order Xianyang to stop resisting. This is not a big deal. This is what she should do as the mother of a country. Besides, even if she did not give the order, the Chu army had already attacked Xianyang. After the city was broken, the common people recruited temporarily scattered into birds and beasts, and only the Mo people led by Yan Wuyi still tried their best to defend themselves.

"Mi Qian has ordered the Qin army to abandon their troops and remove their armor, so don't fight again." The lights inside the Kumen were bright, and Mi Qian stood behind the Kumen. As soon as she spoke, Pan Wuming was stunned and said helplessly: "Report to the king quickly, Princess Chi has apologized for surrender."

Mi Qian came forward to apologize for guilt and surrender without expecting Xiong Jing, and naturally she did not expect from the shogunate counselors. When Cai Shi, who was attacking the royal city, reported that Princess Chi asked for surrender, Zhuang Wudi shook his head and said, "Don't forget Princess Chi's temple to the Qin people, it is no longer my Chu people."

The Chu people were xenophobic, and outsiders' advice was ineffective, but if they were acquaintances and relatives' advice, they would easily listen. Zhuang Wudi knew that Xiong Jing was extremely friendly to the princesses, and some of the foreign policies of Chu, such as the Restoration of Han, were influenced by these princesses. He was afraid that Xiong Jing would be soft-hearted for a while, so he agreed to Mi Qian.

"Princess Chi-chan has surrendered to me, which is beneficial to me." Dou Chang said another thing: "The Qin army in various places is going to Xianyang quickly, and our army must not stay in Xianyang for three days."

"Three days?" Xiong Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had always wanted to attack Xianyang, but it was not without Zhao Zheng or the main force of the Qin army. Pulling out Xianyang was like a punch that had been accumulating strength on cotton, which could not bring much damage to Qin.

However, he was not sure that the decisive battle with the Qin army, which was ready to fight, could change this result. Since Zhao Zheng could give up Xianyang, he could naturally abandon the Qin army. It would be unprofitable to consume the limited elite of the Chu State with a large number of Qin soldiers. However, this is a lowly idea of ​​the common people. The correct way to do this should be to give up Xianyang and turn around and fight the Qin army in a decisive way of gaining or losing.

If Xianyang is eliminated, then it is also wrong to attack Guanzhong; if Guanzhong is also wrong, then it should be wrong to take advantage of Qin's attack on Zhao and restore Ying, because the entire war plan is a product of worrying about gains and losses and petty care; if the entire war plan is wrong, then the establishment of the Grand Sima Mansion is also wrong, and even most of the national policies formulated after he ascended the throne are all wrong...
