Chapter 887: The Battle of Xianyang, the Fall of the Qin State
At this moment, Prince Hengbu still didn't know that King Qin had a cerebral hemorrhage and died violently, and the Qin army led by Zuo Shuchang had surrendered.
Because at this moment, the letter eagle who notified the news is still on the way.
Xianyang City, rooster crow, dawn.
When the old city gate official gathered the strength of everyone to open the city gate, he was shocked by the scene he saw in front of him.
It was an army that was extremely crushed, and the sergeants seemed to come from a distant mountainous area, and it seemed that they had traveled through countless mountains and rivers.
"Who are you?"
The city gate official reacted at this moment, and shouted, but what answered him was a whistling arrow, which pierced the air and hit him in the forehead, and the moment the city gate official fell, the rain of arrows in the sky also flew under the city gate, and then the monstrous sound of fighting stirred Xianyang City and broke through the sky.
"Kill!"
Ximen Leopard took the remaining 7,000 Qi troops into Xianyang City, because the army was taken away by the King of Qin to resist the invasion of the Qi army, so all that is left in the city is now some old, weak, sick and disabled.
Soon, Ximen Leopard with an army of 7,000 barely encountered any resistance, and rushed into the palace of the king of Qin, and after a bloody bath of the court, captured the little prince of Qin alive.
The palace of the king of Qin fell, the city of Xianyang fell, the heart of the state of Qin fell, and the military flag of the state of Qi fluttered on the wall of the capital of the state of Qin.
"Release the letter eagle and inform the prince that our army has lived up to expectations and taken the capital of Qin"
Simon Leopard wiped the blood from his face and shouted excitedly.
"No"
The young player was also very excited.
Jing River Valley. In front of the Qin army pass.
"Prince, Prince, Daiki, Daiki"
A letter eagle soldier laughed and cried, and he ran to Wang Ziheng, who was commanding the battle.
Hearing this, Wang Ziheng turned his head to look at the letter eagle warrior, his eyes opened, and he shouted: "Could it be that General Ximen Leopard has captured Xianyang City?" β
When the generals heard this, they all looked at the letter eagle warriors, and they were looking forward to it, because according to the time distance calculation, Ximen Leopard should be in Xianyang at this moment.
The eagle warrior shook his head and said, "No, no, it's a great event than the capture of Xianyang City."
As he spoke, he handed the letter to Wang Ziheng.
Wang Ziheng took it, pulled it open and looked at it, and suddenly trembled, and then laughed, the generals saw that the situation was unknown, and thought to themselves, is there any better news than the capture of Xianyang City?
Wang Ziheng was in high spirits at the moment, looking around at everyone, and said in a generous tone:
"Generals, I want to tell you a good news, a good news that shocks the world."
Speaking of this, Wang Ziheng deliberately paused, looked at everyone staring at him, took a breath at the moment, and said with a smile:
"The king of Qin has surrendered, and the Qin army has surrendered under the leadership of the left chief of the Qin State!"
"The state of Qin has fallen!"
In front of the Qin army pass, the Qi army was boiling, and everyone was raising their arms and cheering, long live Lu Di, long live the Qi army, long live the prince!
On the Qin Army Pass, Zhao Yi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, listened to the cheers outside the pass, his brows furrowed deeply, and then he shouted, not good! Then he grabbed one of the generals and said, "Withdraw quickly, quickly!" β
That will be a little confused, withdraw, and if you withdraw again, the Qi army will really go out of the Jinghe Valley to Guanzhong! At that moment, he said: "Old lady, where are you going?" β
Zhao Yi said: "Go back to Xianyang!" β
"Xianyang?" The generals were puzzled, although Xianyang was good, but once it was besieged by the Qi army, it would be equivalent to a dead city, and there would be no chance to turn it over in the future.
How could Zhao Yi explain to him that the cheers of the Qi army may be because the King of Qin was defeated or even killed, so he needed to withdraw from the pass in advance before the troops heard the news, return to the national capital, and appoint the crown prince as the new king to stabilize people's hearts.
Confused, the Qin army used the drumming trick of the empty city to deceive the soldiers of the Qi pass, and then fled south.
The Qi army of Wang Ziheng's department did not notice all these changes, they were still cheering, and Wang Ziheng himself was discussing with Zhai Huang how to persuade Zhao Yi to surrender.
In fact, Wang Ziheng didn't want to persuade Zhao Yi in his heart, because Zhao Yi had been the king of Qin and was well-known in Qin, if he lived for a day, it would be a threat to Qi Guo.
However, if he is not persuaded to surrender and continues to fight with him, the casualties of the Qi army will definitely be heavy, and it may have some negative effects on the hearts of those Qin people who surrender to the Qi army.
So he was discussing countermeasures with Zhai Huang.
Zhai Huang's suggestion is to persuade him to surrender and see if Zhao Yi surrenders? If he surrenders, then accept his surrender, and then send someone to kill him on the road, no one will think of anything, after all, it is known that Zhao Yi is seriously ill.
Wang Ziheng adopted this suggestion, but he was on guard against Zhai Huang in his heart, this person is talented, but I am afraid that his mental skills are a little wrong.
When the envoy of Qi came to the pass with the envoy's scepter, shouted at the pass, told them to drop the rope, pull themselves up, and asked to see him, he found that there was no one to respond to the silence on the pass.
The messenger thought that the other party had not heard, and shouted a few more words, but no one responded, and the messenger wondered, and when he saw a flock of sparrows from the mountains landing on the pass, and did not panic and fly away, he realized that something was wrong.
Turned around and ran: "Oh no, Qin Jun has fled!" β
Knock knock, the war drums of the Qi army rang out.
When the gate of the pass was pushed open, Wang Ziheng walked into the pass with the generals, and found that Zhao Yi and the army had already gone to Guankong, and they looked at each other.
"Could it be that Zhao Yi learned the news of King Qin's death one step ahead of us?" Wang Ziheng wondered.
Zhai Huang hurriedly said: "Prince, now is not the time to talk about this, you should immediately lead the army out of the Jing River Valley, and the direct army will be in Xianyang, and the last general will suspect that Zhao Yi will support the new monarch and continue the confrontation with our army."
Wang Ziheng was shocked when he heard this, could it be that Zhao Yi already knew the news of King Qin?
"It's not good, all the troops, follow me to kill Xianyang quickly."
In Luoshui Valley, LΓΌ Di led all the civil and military forces to accept the surrender of the Qin army led by the head of the Qin army.
And rewarded those Qin soldiers who removed their armor, but 50,000 of those Qin soldiers refused, they didn't want to be rewarded, they said that they would guard the tomb for the Qin king for generations.
Lu Di was very moved, agreed to the request of more than 50,000 people, and said on the spot that the tomb of his descendants would also be guarded by them.
Lu Di held the coffin of the king of Qin, personally pulled the rope six times, and then carried the coffin to the king's chariot with the generals of the Qin army, and after doing all this, he finally took the Qi army south and joined Sun Chi's army.
In the Lu Di Division, the total strength of the Qi army reached 560,000.
Two days later, the Qi army left Luoshui Valley, and the army entered Guanzhong. At the same time, the old lady Zhao Yi also came to the outside of Xianyang City with the last Qin army.
When Zhao Yi learned from the shocked cries of the Qin generals that Xianyang had been captured by the Qi army, he stood up from his wheelchair on the spot, and then his voice was terrible, and he shouted something that everyone couldn't understand at all: "There are vines and flowers blooming in the wild, and there are fairies floating on it." β
In the end, he fell to the ground and died.
