Chapter 264 Martyrdom
Dong dong dong...
The war drum of the Qin army was beaten again.
The soldiers of the Qin army gathered at the tower in Shouchun and once again marched to the city. After yesterday's lightning strike, the morale of the entire Qin army was high. They felt that even Lord Yun Zhong of Chu was helping Qin.
When the Qin State destroyed the Chu State, it was following the will of heaven.
"Let's do it!"
Bai Zhong passed the order.
The first echelon of trapped soldiers took the ladders and the remaining carriages to the city tower and formally launched the attack.
There was no assistance from Yuan Hong on the city tower, and the morale of the Chu army was completely destroyed by lightning. It was as difficult as possible for the Chu army. However, after a while, the trapped soldiers came up to the city tower and pinned the Chu army to the ground to kill them.
"Teacher, I also want to try."
Fusu looked at the tower, eager to try.
Bai Zhong felt that the Chu army had no fighting spirit and was loosely defended. It just couldn't get orders and couldn't surrender, so it had to hold on to the end. He nodded and said: "Li, you will protect the young master, go to the city and fight, and break the city as soon as possible."
"only!"
Li Youdao.
Then they brought more than 2,000 people to protect Fusu and successfully climbed to the tower.
In the end, several generals of the Chu army could no longer defend themselves. They dropped their weapons and wanted to surrender. If they continued to fight, they would only lose their lives. They would not receive the blessing of the gods, so there was no need to continue fighting.
The news of the Chu army's surrender soon spread back to Baizhong.
"If you don't accept any surrender, kill them all!"
This is also the principle that Bai Zhong has used to lead troops in battle since he became the commander-in-chief.
Fusu got the order to kill the surrendered Chu army, and he mustered up the courage to lead his troops to kill them. The tower was soon covered with corpses.
In another half hour.
The city gate was finally opened.
This battle was fought with unprecedented smoothness and ease.
"General, the city is broken."
Chen Ping raised his finger and pointed.
Bai Zhong said: "Everyone enter the city. Chen Ping, you lead the troops to the government office and take over everything in the city. The others will follow me into the palace of the King of Chu. Don't let Xiong Fuchu escape."
They divided their labors and cooperated, and soon a large number of soldiers went to surround the palace city.
Chen Ping took more than 5,000 people and went directly to the government office to take over the various documents, seals, etc. inside. To destroy the country and destroy the city, both civil and military forces were needed. He was responsible for the literary aspect.
Fusu walked down from the tower, put away the knife that was still bleeding, and said with a smile: "I killed more than thirty people this time."
Bai Zhong said happily: "Young Master has almost mastered my killing skills."
"The teacher knows a lot, but I will never learn enough."
Fusu said seriously.
The teacher is not only very strong in martial arts, but also in terms of talent and learning, even Mr. Zhang Cang is deeply admired for his ability in both literature and martial arts.
What he learned was only a small part.
——
Inside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the city is broken."
"All our surrendered soldiers were killed. The Qin army has entered the city and is on its way to the palace city."
The chamberlain in the palace got the news and said nervously.
Zheng Chu's hair was messy, his face was haggard, and he had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes. He obviously didn't sleep well last night, and he couldn't sleep well even if something like this happened. After hearing the words of the chamberlain, he looked at the princess, the young master and others beside him.
.
"You also know what to do next?"
he asked calmly.
Those princesses and young masters all had a glass of wine in front of them.
It's poisonous wine.
Even if they die, they don't want to be captured by the Qin army. What's more, if they are captured, the final result will be death, there is no difference.
"Father, I know!"
A son who was carrying the cud decisively drank a glass of poisonous wine without hesitation or blinking an eye.
The poison was so powerful that he immediately bled from all his orifices and fell to the ground.
When the others saw this, they shouted in panic.
Negi Chu sighed: "Get up by yourselves!"
The remaining people were helpless. With trembling hands, they slowly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, bleeding to death from their seven orifices.
"Withered grass and ointment, are you ready?"
Negi Chu asked the chamberlain again.
The chamberlain responded: "Get ready, the king really wants to..."
"ignition!"
Negi Chu interrupted.
Outside this magnificent palace, there are piles of all kinds of dead grass and ointment.
He did not choose to commit suicide by drinking poisonous wine, but turned himself and the foundation of Chu State into ashes and nothing. Seeing that the servant did not dare to light a fire, he picked up an oil lamp and threw it into a nearby haystack.
.
"Fengxihuangxi, reborn from the ashes..."
He turned around and walked into the sea of fire, shouting: "The soul is back!"
"King!"
The chamberlain's eyes filled with tears. After hesitating for a while, he turned around and walked into the sea of fire.
When the other guards saw this, they seemed to not want to let Cu Chu get too lonely, and they were also loyal, so they also walked in.
Eight hundred years of great Chu were burned to the ground.
The entire palace of the King of Chu was quickly devoured by a sea of fire.
Bai Zhong and the others happened to arrive outside the palace wall. When they saw the blazing fire, they waved their hands to stop everyone.
"General, the King of Chu burned his palace and committed suicide."
A minister came over and said.
Bai Zhong said with emotion: "King Chu died a heroic death. Pay attention to the intensity of the fire. Don't let the fire burn the houses of ordinary people. There is no need to put out the fire, just let it burn."
"only!"
They were not sure why the general allowed the fire to burn.
However, this kind of fire cannot be extinguished if it burns.
Fusu sighed: "Actually, he can survive."
"My family and country are gone, what can I do if I don't die?"
Bai Zhong smiled and said: "Our approach to destroying the country is cruel, but when there is only Qin in the world, there will be less war and chaos. Master, let's go around."
When the people in the city saw the Qin army entering the city, they were all afraid and hid in their houses. However, they curiously looked out through the cracks in doors and windows and found that the Qin army was not as brutal as they imagined.
Because the Qin army did not massacre the city or the people, and everything was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief, but when they thought of the Chu Kingdom being punished by the gods, they had a special emotion towards the Qin army.
I don't know whether to hate it or welcome it.
At this time, Bai Zhong and the others were walking on the streets of Shouchun for a while, when suddenly a little boy rushed out from the side.
"Child, go back quickly."
Then a man came out of the house in a panic, picked up his child and wanted to leave, but the soldiers beside Bai Zhong immediately stopped them and they could no longer leave.
"Aweng..."
The child held his father's hand and cried out in fear.
The man immediately grabbed the child, and the two of them knelt in front of Bai Zhong, constantly begging for forgiveness. He saw Bai Zhong's coach's armor and could recognize who it was.
"You are afraid of me, so scared. Am I so scary?"
Bai Zhong asked helplessly.
Neither father nor son dared to respond. They just knelt down and begged for mercy, asking not to kill them.
"I'm not bad, am I?"
Bai Zhong touched his arms and took out a few candies.
Chen Ping's brother was a candy seller, and Chen Ping also brought some with him, so he could naturally get it to spice up the bland taste of ancient times.
