Volume 9 Chapter 76 Flooding the Great Liang City
Wei State, Great Liang City.
King Wei stood on the city wall, looking at the Qin State camp ten miles away, his fists clenched tightly, but there was nothing he could do.
Qin's national strength was too strong, and Wei could not resist the Qin army's offensive at all. Seeing today's scene, King Wei regretted it in his heart, if his younger brother Xinling Jun Wei Wuji was still alive, he would definitely be able to make corresponding countermeasures.
There has always been no shortage of talented people in the Wei State, such as Li Kui, Wu Qi, Le Yang, Ximen Leopard, Zi Xia, Zhai Huang, Wei Cheng, and generations of famous ministers and generals have set the strength of the Wei State. Later, there was General Pang Juan, and the Qin State did not dare to breathe. Until the later period of Xinlingjun, he was the best among the nations.
These people have all died, not killed by the enemy, but by the later generations of Wei kings, who were mediocre and buried the great rivers and mountains. To be precise, Shang Ying, Fan Ju, Wei Yi, Li Si and others were all from Wei, and they defected to Qin because they could not be reused by the King of Wei.
Looking at the people around him again, King Wei sadly found that except for the favored Long Yangjun, there was no more general who could fight a battle. The Qin State didn't even need to send Wang Qian, Meng Wu and others to take action, but only sent the young Wang Ben to drain the water around the Wei capital Daliang.
Wang Ben stood in front of the battle and shouted: "King Wei, by the will of the king, please surrender the city." My king promised to give you the title of Marquis of Anle, and the clansmen will enjoy wealth forever, and the temple can also be retained. ”
King Wei shouted angrily: "Why didn't Yingzheng come in person? Just rely on you, a yellow-mouthed child, if you want this king to surrender, it is absolutely impossible, if you have the ability, you will attack. ”
Wang Ben shouted: "The city of Daliang is tall and strong, and it is indeed difficult to attack, but King Wei should not forget that the city of Daliang is in a depression, if the water of the ditch will be dug to irrigate, can you still keep it?" ”
The King of Wei was silent, the Qin army actually wanted to flood Daliang City, Bai Qi had also used this strategy before, but he didn't dare to really flood it. Flooding the city, that will kill a lot of people, hurt the heavens and harmony, Bai Qi didn't dare back then, did Wang Ben under the city dare?
Wang Ben said: "For this battle, I, Daqin, have been preparing for many years, and it is impossible to give up halfway. Even if it hurts the heavens, it can't take care of so much. ”
A voice came from the city, saying, "I am the worship of the Wei State, does the Qin State really want to use the water attack plan?" The battle of the nations is just a battle for the dominance of the royal family, under the flood, how many royal people will die, does King Qin really dare to do this? ”
Wang Ben said loudly: "The nations are not allowed to participate in the war. When he came, the king of my family had already made a decision, and now he has given three days to let the worshippers and royal dignitaries withdraw from the east gate, and our army will not attack. Once three days have passed, it will definitely flood Daliang City. Unless the King of Wei surrenders out of the city, the flood will not recede, and this is all for granted, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”
Wang Ben retreated, giving enough time for the Wei people to think about it themselves.
The king of Wei looked back at a certain place in the Wei Palace, but saw a group of royal magnates, driving towards the east gate with a carriage. Seeing this, King Wei waved his hand helplessly, opened the city gate, and let those people out.
The east gate was wide open, and countless followers in the city followed, day and night. The people of Wei can see that since Wang Ben dares to say such things, he will definitely flood Daliang City. The flood is ruthless, even if Wei still has the strength to fight, it can't stop the impact of the flood.
As soon as three days passed, Wang Ben gave an order, and the distant ditch was dug by the Qin soldiers, and the surging flood roared towards Daliang City. This centuries-old city has also been well hydrated, and as soon as the flood water rushes in, it is introduced into the moat and the waterways within the city. King Wei's self-confidence comes from this, as long as the river in the city is dredged, as long as it lasts for ten days, the flood will recede.
But the next scene shocked everyone. Another ditch was dug up, and another flood struck, filling the moat and waterway, and the water rose rapidly, and in just a few hours, it rose to the height of half the city wall.
There are not many people in the north who are accustomed to water, and countless people have drowned under the impact of floods. The entire Daliang City has become a water city, and the Wei people can only desperately climb to the top of the building, waiting for the flood to recede. But when they looked back, everyone was stunned, Wang Ben actually filled in the soil around Daliang City, and the water of the river was not dredged, so it could only rise higher and higher.
When the water calmed down, the people of Wei understood the meaning of Wang Ben's words, as long as the King of Wei did not surrender, Daliang City would be flooded forever. In just half a month, the buildings in the city will be loosely collapsed after being soaked in water for too long, and the living people will have nowhere to live.
Only so many people can stand on the city wall, and the Wei Palace is very high, but it is impossible to accommodate too many people to enter.
It was only ten days, and the Wei people could not stand the shadow of death, and in order to survive, many people shouted for the King of Wei to surrender. The king of Wei still did not say anything, and the news of asking for help was sent to the countries again and again, but the countries did not send a single army to support, and the king of Wei's heart was cold.
The worshippers of the Wei State couldn't stand it anymore, and passed the news to the King of Wei one by one, the matter has come to this point, so let's surrender. Another five days passed, and in desperation, the voice of the king of Wei spread all over the world, and the Wei state surrendered, asking the Qin army to let the water recede.
Wang Benyan said: "Please bring the jade seal and household registration documents to the king of Wei from the east gate to the front of the barracks by boat, and the handover ceremony will be completed, and the river will be dredged and the water will recede." ”
King Wei nodded in agreement, took Long Yangjun and other subordinates, and came to the Qin army by boat.
As soon as the handover ceremony ended, more than a dozen masters rushed out from King Wei's side and collectively rushed towards Wang Ben. It can be seen from the body that these people are all peak masters, and there is even a figure of a peak powerhouse in them.
The worshippers of the Wei State who were standing in the distance all sighed, the King of Wei broke the rules, dared to fake surrender, and sent the peak powerhouse to participate, no one could save him. Wang Ben dared to perform the ceremony here, and he must be completely sure.
Sure enough, from behind Wang Ben, a pair of crossbowmen and a team of 100 people with a clear banner walked out. A rain of arrows went down against those people, and those masters fell down one by one, leaving only the peak powerhouse. When he rushed to Wang Ben's five zhang away, he was entangled by iron cables, and was trampled to death under several charges of the Qin army.
Many people gasped, and the peak powerhouse was killed like this, without leaving any name before he died. This team of 100 people is so strong.
Wang Ben turned around and said to the worshippers of the Wei State in the distance: "Please put down, these are the king's Praetorian Guards, everyone has the peak realm, but none of them have reached the peak of the best strength, and they have not broken the rules." ”
He stared at King Wei and said: "You dare to fake surrender, then don't blame the general for being ruthless, come here, take the head of King Wei for me." ”
The Qin army surrounded the King of Wei and others, and under a burst of slashing, the King of Wei, Long Yangjun and others were killed.
After the loss of the king of Wei, the Wei state no longer had the ability to resist, and after Wang Ben dredged the river and the water receded, the Wei people put down their weapons and all surrendered.
When Wang Ben occupied the Wei Palace and controlled the Daliang City, he announced that the Wei State was destroyed.
This news soon spread to all parts of the Central Plains, flooding the city of Daliang, and the state of Qin annexed the state of Chu with a small loss. Those losses are completely negligible.
In Xianyang City, the Qin people all walked out of their homes, and everyone's faces were full of joy. After taking the Wei state, the Qin state sat on half of the territory of the Central Plains, and the unification of the world was just around the corner.
In the Qin Palace, Yingzheng was even more joyful, and he rewarded him in a big way.
Huayang Palace, Mrs. Huayang was also very happy, but she also understood the disadvantages of flooding Daliang City, and deliberately brought Yingzheng to dinner, and she still had to tell him something.
Mrs. Huayang said: "The flooding of Daliang City does hurt the heavens and peace, and the worshippers will have opinions. ”
Ying Zheng smiled: "So what? I have given three days, and everyone knows that Daliang can't be saved, only King Wei still has illusions. As a result of all this, the dead King Wei should be allowed to carry it, and it is the reason of the world to become a king and defeat him. ”
"In the battle of Qin and Wei, if Great Qin is defeated, I deserve to bear the punishment of the imperial family. Now that my Great Qin has won, who else dares to scold this king? Grandma, don't look at the offerings as tall, the offerings are also people. When I reach a position like mine, people who can't be used by me don't need to give them any face. ”
Mrs. Huayang still sighed: "The strength of the worshippers is too strong, you are so ruthless, and the future will be a trouble." ”
Ying Zheng said earnestly: "Since I was born, I have not received any favor of worship, and those people have always been cold eyes and become a thorn in the kings. I, Daqin, want to unify the world, unify the Central Plains, and achieve the position of emperor, and I will collect the disobedient forces in the world. ”
Mrs. Huayang shook her head and sighed: "It's too urgent, even if you have this heart, don't show it in advance." From Zero Feather to the commander of the Guards, I knew you were going to do it. The civil forces want to suppress, but the worshippers are the pillars of the Central Plains, and now you have offended them so hard, and in the future war of the Huns, those people will not do their best. ”
Ying Zheng said: "Does grandma know the combat power of the Praetorian Guard now? It's not that Sun Er exaggerated, as long as fifty Praetorian Guard soldiers joined forces to form a battle formation, they could besiege and kill a peak powerhouse. Yu'er has done a good job over the years, training me such 8,000 Praetorian Guards, even if I don't have to worship them, I will fight with the Xiongnu in the future, and my grandson will have the confidence to win. ”
Hearing such words, what else could Mrs. Huayang say? The current Yingzheng is constantly winning, and he is about to be carried away by victory, and it is difficult to listen to other people's opinions.
Mrs. Huayang said: "Whatever Zheng'er wants, just let it go." Grandma is most concerned about the battle of Qin and Chu, and I don't know where Li Xin fought. The battle of Qin and Chu must be resolved quickly, and if the time is delayed for a long time, the troops will be tight. ”
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, I have ordered soldiers and horses from all over the country to continue to support Li Xin." As long as Li Xin can surround Shouchun for a month, the task will be completed. For this battle, I, Daqin, have been preparing for many years, and it is impossible to make mistakes in this. ”
"Now what I'm thinking about is Yan Guo. After the Chu State was captured, it was necessary to mobilize troops against the Yan State, and how to contain the Yan State's garrison became the first issue for Great Qin. I'm going to leave these to Yu'er to do, anyway, she's about to go to Yongcheng, so she should be able to come up with a proper way. ”
The grandfather and grandson talked slowly there.
Wei has the pinnacle of the best powerhouse, then Wei will definitely use the garrison, how to limit the garrison has become the primary consideration of the Qin state.
Ying Zheng, who was originally full of confidence in the battle of Qin and Chu, completely changed his mind a few days later, and even looked panicked.
