Chapter 4 Take Jinyang Lightly(2/2)

"Rumble" Huanjie always marched bravely and quickly. In addition to the troops on the top of the city, he also arranged ramming cars on the ground to target the city gate. The three ramming cars successfully advanced to the bottom of the city and slammed into the gate.

No one fired arrows anymore, and the Qin army banged against the door with all their strength. After seven or eight blows, the city gate made a loud crackling sound and opened to both sides. Smoke and dust filled the doorway.

"Kill!" Huanjue took the lead and led his cavalry into the city.

Large groups of cavalry swarmed in from the city road and rushed in, killing everyone on sight, dividing into several groups and radiating in all directions. The Zhao army responsible for guarding the city gate scattered and fled for their lives, causing a lot of chaos and causing great chaos to the Qin Dynasty.

The army's unscrupulous killing was of great help. The battlefield outside the west gate was in chaos, and it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

While Huan Ye was swiping his blood-red sword to kill, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, kill! Kill!"

Twenty thousand cavalry, with the roar of their hooves, rushed towards the streets of the city like a thunderstorm, chasing Zhao's defeated troops and killing them all the way.

Wang Zhu looked behind him and heard a loud bang in his head. Damn it, I forgot to declare military discipline!

Wang Zhu took the thorn-brush riding whip from the guard and whipped the war horse hard. The war horse lined up and rushed towards the city gate with a whoosh. The generals behind him were stunned and didn't know what to say.

At the Royal Tomb, Xia Houying reacted quickly and immediately commanded the infantry arrayed on both wings to press towards the west gate like two angry waves.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"

Wang Zhu had so much to take care of, but he knew that if something went wrong, the people in the city might be in trouble. Why did he neglect it? This was a fatal oversight! You know, the world is dominated by those who win the hearts of the people!

Sure enough, when Wang Zhu entered the city, the looting, burning, and rape of women had already begun and were in full swing. Zhao Jun and General Zhao were dead and wounded, whether on the city tower or in the streets, and were lying everywhere. Weeping in the city

The shouts are deafening, fires are everywhere, thick smoke and fire debris cover the sky, and a bloody field is like Shura Hell.

Soldiers and civilians, old and weak, women and children fled in all directions. The tragic atmosphere of doomsday was unbearable to watch.

In many places, fierce hand-to-hand combat was still going on. Wang Ling and Xia Houying's infantry entered the city. On the one hand, they protected Wang Zhu's safety, and on the other hand, they immediately joined the strangulation process. They forced the remaining soldiers to fight without giving an inch.

The Zhao army retreated deeper into the city. The entire west gate was completely under the control of the Qin army, and the enemy army was gone.

What's bad is that Li Zuoche never showed up. Zhao Jun wanted to surrender but no one took the lead. The soldiers all killed eight generations of Li Zuoche's family in their hearts.

"Quickly, send someone to pass the order to stop the Qin army from setting fire to kill the people, and not to rob property. Anyone from the Zhao army who surrenders will be spared death!" Wang Zhu could not stop the upcoming robbery, and ordered Wang Ling and Xia Houying at the top of his voice.

.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's already too late!"

Wang Zhu roared; "We must do it even if it's too late to minimize the loss!"

The two men did not dare to say anything more. They led the soldiers forward and shouted: "The king has a decree. Surrender without killing. Surrender without killing. The Qin army must not kill people or set fire. Strictly observe military discipline and treat the people well. Strictly observe military discipline and treat the people well."

After shouting like this all the way, the Qin soldiers who were carrying out the robbery were restrained a lot, and many desperate people were rescued as a result. If not for this, Jinyang City might have been in ruins in two or three hours.

The battle lasted from morning to afternoon. The Zhao army was basically wiped out, and only a few had time to surrender. The people in Ximen were somewhat harassed, and the three gates in the southeast and north were relatively stable because Wang Zhu stopped them in time.

"Did you catch Li Zuoche?" Wang Zhu threw down his riding crop and took off his armor and asked impatiently.

In the Jinyang County Governor's Mansion, Qin generals gathered around Wang Zhu, all covered in blood.

"Your Majesty, the south gate is not found!"

"The King's North Gate was not found!"

"I didn't find anything at the east or west gate!"

"You can't fly into the sky, unless you ran away before the war started, or you are still in the city!" Wang Zhu said; "Post a notice for me, offering a reward of three thousand gold for the capture of Li Zuoche. Remember, three thousand gold for living, two for dead.

Hundreds of gold!"

Just like what Gongsun Zuo, the prime minister of Wei, once said when he recommended Shang Yang to the king: "This man is the most talented person in the world. If the king cannot use him, he must be killed."
