The Great Qin: Stop Pretending, Your Father, I Am Qin Shihuang

Chapter 603: Why Did He Surrender Before He Persuaded Her?

Most of the main force of the Qin Army this time, Han Xin's peasant Qin Army, had experienced several battles.

So it grew very quickly.

Moreover, Da Qin's frontier troops were holding the formation on the side, so everyone was still very confident.

Of course, everyone is also ready for a big battle.

From the battles with the Chu army these days, we can also know that the Chu army's combat power is not weak.

But soon, the Qin troops discovered something was wrong.

Because it was not until they broke open the city gate and rushed into the city.

At the city gate, scattered Chu troops began to resist.

Most people stood there blankly.

The Qin army did not kill these people.

The leader said that as long as these people surrender and do not resist, they cannot be killed indiscriminately.

It's just that this situation is a little weird.

It wasn't until they entered the center of the city that they encountered a densely packed Chu army. Several Chu army generals and their personal guards stood at the front.

When the generals of the Chu army saw the Qin army, they didn't hesitate and rushed towards them with howls of "death to serve the country".

All the Qin troops were slightly relieved at this time.

Yes, this is war.

They also rushed forward without fear!

The battle started as quickly as it ended.

When the first Qin army broke through the Chu army's formation, they were still a little confused.

Just kill so many people?

After finally coming back to his senses, he looked up and saw the numerous Chu army sergeants standing still.

They killed the generals of the Chu army.

Just when the Qin army wanted to attack again.

The leader of the Chu army suddenly put down his weapons and said,

"I'm waiting for you!"

After saying that, all the Chu troops said in unison,

"I'm waiting for you!"

Seeing this scene, the leader Qin Jun was completely dumbfounded. After swallowing his saliva, he quickly said,

"Go back and report to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"The Chu army has surrendered!"

Soon, a Chu soldier rushed towards Zhao Lang outside the city!

At this time, Zhao Lang was sitting on the horse, looking at the city with some boredom.

He wanted to be the first to charge, but unfortunately his horse's rope was firmly in Meng Yi's hand.

When the other party realized that Wang Li was useless, he came to hold Zhao Lang in person.

Anyway, Han Xin can now take command on his behalf.

He is also happy that Zhao Lang's people will take up the responsibility, so that the subsequent credit can truly be placed on Zhao Lang.

It was impossible for Zhao Lang to leave his sight anyway.

Just when a few people heard that the Qin army came to report that the Chu army had surrendered.

They were all stunned for a moment,

"Most of the generals of the Chu army died in the battle, and the others surrendered?"

Although the momentum this time was great, the Chu army still had some strength.

He actually won it just like that?

But Fan Zeng and Xiang Zhuang on the side were not too surprised.

They have always viewed this battle from the perspective of the Chu army.

Indeed, there is no need to fight the Qin army at this time.

If the Qin army can be escaped here at the cost of casualties, then it is still necessary.

However, no matter how many people there are, they cannot withstand such killings by the Qin army!

The Chu army no longer had any morale.

Therefore, surrender is a matter of course.

Meng Yi on the side quickly asked,

"Then where is Long Ju, the general of the Chu army?"

Qin Jun was stunned for a moment and replied,

"My subordinates don't know."

He didn't know any of the soldiers, and he couldn't tell whether Long Ju was among the Chu generals who took the initiative to die.

Hu Hai on the side said,

"Cover me, sir, let's go in and take a look, won't we know?"

Meng Yi nodded immediately and walked towards the city first.

Now that the army has entered the city, there is no need to worry about an ambush.

Soon arriving at the place where the Chu army gathered, Meng Yi didn't delay at all. He glanced at the dead Chu army generals but did not see Long Ju.

Suddenly the Chu army led by the opponent asked,

"Where is your General Longju!?"

Chu Jun replied,

"General Long Zhu has been rescued and sent to another city with some of his people."

"We are all willing to surrender."

After hearing this, Meng Yi thought for a moment and suddenly understood,

"It's a good plan."

The other party is already certain that this battle is destined to be lost.

This method can not only delay these Chu troops who have no morale.

It can also increase their burden.

It is the best choice after defeat.

Sure enough, there are so many heroes in the world.

Soon, Han Xin on the side also figured out the key and asked Zhao Lang,

"Chief, what should we do with these people?"

He took a cursory look and found that there were at least twenty to thirty thousand people here, which was indeed difficult to deal with.

Zhao Lang was very indifferent. Farmers were very good at arranging manpower.

"Big dog, tell them."

"Those who are willing to go home will be fed and given some travel expenses."

"If you don't want to go back, just work."

"If you are in good physical condition, you can stay and join us."

Now, whether in the fields or in the city, manpower is needed.

He doesn't have too many of these young men at all.

Of course, this creates some logistical pressure.

The good thing is that nowadays, people’s requirements for wages and food are not high.

To put it more generously, he was still sure that these people would not starve to death.

Just not starving, of course.

If there are any higher requirements, they need to struggle on their own.

Big dogs naturally take orders.

Hu Hai on the side frowned and said,

"Brother Lang, if these people all return to Chu and are recruited later, then we want to clear out the Chu army."

"Isn't it more difficult?"

He followed Zhao Lang and knew what the Chu army was doing now.

The four words "militancy" can explain everything.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lang smiled and replied,

"If these people are re-recruited after they return, our army will have a greater chance of winning."

Hu Hai was a little confused.

But Meng Yi on the side smiled and nodded. His Highness the Crown Prince's vision was beyond words.

When you look at things, you can always see the key points.

Fan Zeng also closed his eyes in pain.

He understood Zhao Lang's plan.

If these people really return to Chu, they will re-enter the Chu army.

This means that there are countless spies in the Chu army who are promoting the Qin army!

It's a real scheming!

After capturing this city, the army quickly prepared to clean up and take over.

According to the order, they will continue to capture other cities early tomorrow morning.

Logically speaking, this kind of continuous battle is extremely easy for soldiers to become exhausted.

But this time, all the Qin troops were extremely excited and couldn't help but want to hurry up the next day.

Because they want to see if their Crown Prince can summon thunder again!

They didn't have much preparation today, so they were frightened.

I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

But unlike everyone's excitement and expectations, Zhao Lang now looked at Chen Ping, who had a resentful face in front of him, and said, somewhat dumbfounded,

"Isn't it just some crossbow arrows and black powder? Why are you so distressed?"

Chen Ping's eyes widened and he replied,

"Chief, do you know that a crossbow arrow, only counting the cost of materials, is what an ordinary person would spend for almost a month!"

"Not to mention the production of gunpowder, and it was transported all the way here!"

"That's a lot of money! Besides, I've used most of it this time. What will I do next?"

Zhao Lang knew that what Chen Ping said was true.

You can't just find a random piece of wood to make a crossbow arrow.

The same goes for gunpowder, charcoal is okay, but other raw materials also require a lot of financial resources to be processed in Daqin today.

After that, there should be another big battle with the Chu army, so these things really need to be saved.

The blame lies with current productivity.

We can only wait until it gradually develops. When the scale becomes larger, the cost will naturally come down.

So he replied,

"Okay, I understand, we won't need them when we attack the city later."

The rest must be reserved for the final decisive battle.

Chen Ping nodded and heard Zhao Lang say,

"By the way, tomorrow morning, take your bow and crossbow to the gate of the Chu army."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment and complained,

"Chief, didn't you just say, no need? Why are you dragging me out?"

Zhao Lang smiled at this time and said,

"Who said this crossbow must be fired to be effective?"

"Even if it is placed there, it will have the same effect."

Chen Ping was stunned at first, then understood and replied with a smile,

"The leader is wise!"

When it comes to playing with people's hearts, his leader can be said to be everyone!

Chen Ping quickly resigned, and Zhao Lang didn't feel too tired. He looked in the direction of other Chudi cities.

Once the outer defenses of the Chu army are broken, he can go straight into the heart of the Chu land!

At this time, there was a Chu army city not far from here.

Yingbu looked at Long Ju in front of him in great astonishment.

"General Long, you brought tens of thousands of troops, and you lost the city in one day?"

"Even if there are tens of thousands of animals, the Qin army can't catch them all in one day!"

In fact, he had already received the report from the spies during the day.

He said that the Qin army had already entered the city after summoning thunder from the sky. He couldn't believe it at all.

They even put the spies in jail!

You know, the Chu army's first line of defense was Chu army general Long Ju with tens of thousands of troops.

At the very least, you can keep it for more than ten days, or even a month!

But now, one day, not even one day!

Long Ju was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but not believe it.

Faced with Yingbu's almost insulting words, Long Ju didn't show any anger at this time. He touched the bamboo tube he took off the crossbow arrow in his arms.

The life and death of him and other Qin soldiers no longer mattered.

As long as I can get this thing back to Overlord, everything is worth it!

Because there is the secret of the Qin army’s summoning of thunder!

Long Ju said very calmly,

"General Yingbu, I'll leave this place to you!"

"No matter what, as long as you can hold on! The title of king is right in front of you!"

"I'll leave some people for you."

After that, he took the people and left here.

He was leaving overnight.

I came here just to avoid the Qin army's pursuit and to keep Yingbu safe.

Their frontline cannot be lost like this!

Looking at Long Zhu's leaving figure, Yingbu's expression changed for a while, and he said to the guard next to him,

"Bring the spies from the daytime to my general! Find two more broken soldiers!"

Soon, the spies and defeated soldiers of the Chu army appeared in front of Yingbu.

Yingbu separated several people and asked them one by one. Soon after, he sent these people away again.

But his face was extremely ugly, because these people all told the same situation.

"The Qin army fired a burst of crossbow arrows and then summoned the sky thunder."

"The city gates were destroyed, houses were on fire, and people struck by lightning died instantly. Even if they didn't die, their souls were gone!"

Yingbu thought about the combined descriptions of these people, and felt a chill in his heart.

His military strength is not as large as Long Ju's, and his combat power is not as strong as that of the other party, but the other party actually wants him to defend this place.

"It's fine if Long Ju is defeated so quickly, but this person is so vicious!!"

Yingbu cursed extremely angrily.

Soon his thoughts started to change rapidly, he already had a plan, and said to himself,

"Hmph, you are unkind and I am unjust. You have been guarding for half a day. If I can guard for two days, it will be considered justified!"

"Come here, call the general's personal guards over."

The people Long Ju left behind said they were here to help him, but who knows?

After all, he is not a die-hard person.

Early the next morning, before the sun had risen, the sergeants on the Chu army's city wall saw a black line slowly approaching.

The Chu army quickly issued a warning.

Yingbu also led people to the city wall at this time.

Looking at the Qin army marching slowly in front of them.

A Chu army general next to him said,

"General, the Qin army has long been exhausted. If we defend the city, we will definitely be able to defend against them!"

Yingbu glanced at the several Chu army generals who were vaguely surrounding him, and couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart.

Soon, the Qin army slowly stopped in front of the city, and then, under the eyes of everyone, slowly launched racks of crossbows from behind!

Seeing this scene, several Chu army generals showed panic on their faces, and they quickly said,

"General! Let's get everyone out of the way first!"

Even if they were determined to die, they were a little frightened when they saw the crossbow arrows!

They can't forget yesterday's scene!

Yingbu said with a bit of chill at this time,

"Generals, can the Qin army really summon thunder?"

Several Chu army generals hesitated for a moment and could only nod.

"General, let's avoid it first!"

Yingbu showed a sneer and said,

"If this is true, Long Ju abandoned the city and fled. Why do you want me, the general, to defend him!?"

“The elite of your Chu army are human beings, so aren’t the general’s subordinates human beings?!”

Several Chu army generals frowned when they heard this, and one of them said,

"General, what do you mean!?"

"The situation was critical yesterday, and we had no choice but to abandon the city! You... ugh!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yingbu taking out a weapon and stabbing him in the chest!

The other generals were about to counterattack, but Yingbu's personal guards, who had been behind them, also took action.

In an instant, these die-hard loyalists of the Chu army fell in a pool of blood.

Yingbu looked at the other subordinates coldly, and then said,

"The Xiang family has no virtue, forced the Righteous Emperor to death, and harmed the people. Now I, Yingbu, have abandoned the secret and turned to the bright side!"

"Do you have any objections?"

He was familiar with Xiang Yu forcing Emperor Yi to death.

The others did not hesitate for long and quickly said,

"Follow the general's orders!"

At this time, outside the city, Zhao Lang looked at the crossbows that had been arranged and said calmly,

"Go to someone to persuade them to surrender, and tell them that if they don't surrender, they will summon thunder from the sky!"

Others were hesitant when they saw this scene.

Even though there was such a big commotion yesterday, just one sentence makes people surrender. Isn't it too arrogant?

At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened.

A Chu soldier ran out on horseback and shouted,

"Where is His Highness the Crown Prince of Qin? Our army is willing to surrender!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned on the spot.

Zhao Lang couldn't help but blinked. He hadn't persuaded him yet, so why did he surrender?

But that’s fine, in this case, the door to Chu Di is now open!
