Chapter 40: Persuading to surrender
The city of Handan is about to be destroyed. What Xinlingjun wants to do most now is to leave Handan and escape as far as possible. As for whether he can escape from Qin's pursuit, he has no idea. However, he still has a chance to survive if he escapes. If he stays in Handan, he will definitely die, and he still has to escape.
If you want to escape, you have to break through the Qin army's siege. Although the Qin army implemented a key siege strategy, the siege in some places is not strong and there is a possibility of escaping. The problem is that even if the siege is not strong, it is not something his disciples can deal with. If some defeated Zhao troops are gathered with the general's military talisman and asked them to take the lead, the possibility of escaping is greater.
After much calculation, he did not calculate it. When he met Lian Po, he forcibly took away his general's military talisman. Without the general's military talisman, the possibility of his escape was almost zero. He felt that the world was spinning, as if the end of the world had arrived.
He wanted to rush up and take back the general's military talisman from Lian Po, but he didn't have the courage.
Lian Po led the Zhao army of Zhao, and while heading towards the Qin army into the city, he ordered: "You, you, immediately bring people, demolish houses, move stones and bricks, build a wall here first. Then, here, here, here, here, here, and here. It must be fast."
This is too correct to deal with.
The Qin army had already attacked Handan City, and the city wall had lost its function. Only by rebuilding defensive fortifications similar to the city wall could we provide convenience to the Zhao army and fight with the Qin army based on these fortifications.
"No!" These Zhao generals immediately took the order and led a group of Zhao people to demolish houses and build fortifications.
"You go to the west, you go to the north, and you go to the south. You must guard these places and not allow the Qin army to attack again." Lian Po pointed at the three generals Zhao and ordered loudly.
The Qin army had already broken through a city gate, and the situation was already critical enough. If the Qin army broke through a few more city gates and rushed in from these places, the situation would be really irrescueable, and Handan would inevitably be broken.
"No!" These three generals Zhao took the order and walked away quickly.
"You, go and collect powerful crossbows immediately and arrange them here. If the Qin army dares to come, shoot and kill them immediately." Lian Po was very decisive and commanded in an orderly manner, and his measures were very correct.
There are also powerful crossbows in the Zhao army, and there are also many. Although their power is not as powerful as Qin crossbows, it can provide great convenience to Zhao army. If Zhao crossbows are concentrated and a crossbow formation is formed, it will cause major damage to the Qin army.
"No!" After these generals Zhao who were named took the order, they quickly left.
They were all people who had followed Lian Po and knew that Lian Po was capable of doing so. They also knew that this was extremely correct. If they could be implemented well, they might be able to do so.
"The rest, follow me! Kill the Qin army! Take revenge!" Lian Po waved his arm, shook his fists, shouted loudly, pulled out Zhao Jian, and rushed out first.
"Kill the Qin army!"
"Avenge!" Zhao army and Zhao people roared, huh, and followed Lian Po and rushed out.
They all rolled their eyes, full of hatred, like tigers going down the mountain, without any fear.
The weapons wield weapons, and those without weapons picked up stones, bricks, and those without stones, the bricks shaking their fists and baring their teeth. This is their weapon.
Those Zhao people who were so old that they were breathing heavily while rushing, which was heavier than the breath of the bulls that had been running for hundreds of miles. However, they filled their chests with hatred and did not give up, but were still charging.
Some old men fell down as they rushed, stopped breathing, and ended their lives. However, their fists were clenched tightly, and the hatred on their faces remained, and they did not give up until they died.
Those kids who were babbling and roared in a vague way: "Kill the Qin army! Take revenge!" They waved their white and tender fists.
"Lian Po!"
The Qin army, who was rushing to death, suddenly saw a large group of people, with less than 100,000 people rushing over. They were very surprised and looked closely and found that Lian Po had arrived.
Lian Po is an old rival of Qin, and the Qin army knows many people.
"Haha!" Qin army laughed loudly and mocked: "Liang Po, what can you do if you come? We have already rushed into the city. You are seeking death, so we will fulfill you!"
Lian Po fought for the rest of his life, and most of the time he spent fighting with Qin. The Qin army hated him to the core and wanted to dismember Lian Po. When the city of Handan was broken, Lian Po led people to come. Isn’t this seeking death?
Not to mention, the ones that followed Lian Po were not called the army, but were mobs. The old one was about to fall down and fell down as he rushed. The young one was still babbling and not very strong.
Moreover, they wanted weapons without weapons and armor without armor. On the other hand, the Qin army was armed to the teeth. This was not the same order of magnitude, and Lian Po would definitely die.
"This..." Wang Jian was shocked when he saw it, and he couldn't help but stop the heavy sword in his hand.
"This..." Meng Ao, who was commanding the Qin army on the top of the city, saw it and looked shocked, even forgot to command the Qin army to fight.
"Liang Po, you came too late, Handan will be broken!" Wang Ling looked shocked in his eyes, and then he said disdain and ridiculed.
"No!" Qin Yiren yelled as if he was burning his butt and said, "Hurry up, order to stop the attack!"
"Stop the attack?" Wang Ling looked at Qin Yiren with his tiger eyes, shook his head and said, "Young Master, this is a good opportunity for attack. I want to defeat Lian Po and capture Handan in one fell swoop."
This is definitely a good opportunity to defeat Lian Po. Moreover, from Wang Ling's perspective, it takes only a few charges to do it.
"What the young master said is very reasonable! General Wang, stop attacking quickly!" Wei Liao and Huang Shi Gong loudly supported Qin Yiren.
"General Wang, you see clearly that this is a group of women, children, old and weak, and they are unarmed. If they attack again, it will be a massacre." Qin Yiren roared the mountain, like thunder roaring: "If you massacre these old and weak, can you sleep? Are you not afraid of waking up in the middle of the night? Are you not afraid of being in a state of peace?"
"This..." Wang Ling was stunned.
These Zhao troops who rushed towards Zhao were no match for the Qin army at all. They only needed a few charges to kill them. The question is, can they be killed? If they were killed, can they be at peace? Can they sleep?
"The Qin soldiers are soldiers, not butchers, not executioners, nor demons. They cannot kill these unarmed women, children, old and weak! Remember, they are not butchers, not executioners!" Qin Yiren grabbed Wang Ling's clothes and shook them desperately, shaking Wang Ling's head like a rattle.
Qin Yiren's forehead, neck, and back of his hands suddenly became angry, like a twisted branch of an old tree, and his eyes were staring like a copper bell.
The saliva splashed, splashing Wang Ling's face and his face, and Wang Ling didn't realize it.
He scolded Qin Yiren sober, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he hurriedly said, "Stop attack!"
Wei Liao and Huang Shigong hurriedly waved the order flag and passed on the order.
"What? Stop the attack!"
"Why stop the attack?"
The Qin army was preparing to kill and capture Handan, but suddenly received the order to stop the attack. It was so surprised and puzzled.
Everyone can see that although these Zhao and Zhao troops were aggressive, they did not have much combat power. They were not at the same level as the Qin army. They only needed to continue to attack and stop the attack at this time. Even if the Qin army's orders were strict, they were noisy and doubts were loud.
"Huh!" Wang Jian let out a long sigh.
"Huh!" Meng Ao crossed his sleeves, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and finally let go of his hanging heart.
"Brothers, I know you are very strange. Why did you stop attacking when victory is in sight?" Wang Jian began to explain to the surprised Qin army soldiers, saying, "You all see clearly that they are all women, children, old and weak. Yes, they are not our opponents. We kill them all like slaughtering pigs and sheep! But have you ever thought about it? After killing them all, don't you feel guilty? Can you have a peaceful conscience? Can you sleep?"
Wang Jian is worthy of being a famous military master throughout the ages. He quickly understood the reason for stopping the attack and made a very reasonable statement.
"Reason is reasonable, but this is such a good opportunity. We cannot miss it." Qin's sword in Qin's hand was put down, and he felt very regretful again.
If the Qin State had missed the opportunity that it had only been waiting for for a hundred years, who would be willing to be willing?
"Wang Jian is not bad." Meng Ao praised loudly.
"Young Master, what should I do?" Wang Ling lost his mind on the Yunche and asked Qin Yiren for advice.
He is absolutely fine when using troops to fight, but now this situation cannot be solved by charging forward, but requires other solutions. This is not his good deeds.
"We can only try to persuade the surrender." Qin Yiren sighed and said, "Yi Lianpo is loyal to Zhao State. The possibility of persuading surrender is too low. We have to do it. Let's meet Lianpo!"
Lian Po was loyal to Zhao State and asked him to put down his weapons and surrender. However, if he did not persuade him to surrender first, he would be in a state of peace of mind. This was a process that must be taken.
"Okay!" Wang Ling was a little uninterested and said, "Liang Po is too stubborn!"
According to his understanding of Lian Po, he must be what Qin Yiren said.
Huangshi Gong and Wei Liao waved the order flag and passed the order down. Wang Ling and Qin Yiren hurriedly got off the cloud car and headed straight to the top of the city.
"General Lian Po, please stop!" Meng Ao strode and came to the front of the formation. He shouted: "General Wang wants to talk to you in front of the formation."
"If you want to fuck me!" Lian Po flatly refused and did not miss it.
"General Lian Po, I admire you very much. But look at the Zhao people around you, they are not strong, they are soldiers, they are women, children, elderly and weak, can you really be cruel to let them die?" Meng Ao's roar was like thunder, spreading from afar, and it took a long time to stop.
"You won!" Lian Po looked up at the sky, sighed and waved his hand, and the Zhao army who was charging stopped.
Lian Po was loyal and committed suicide, and he would not frown among all the troops. However, he would not be able to let these women, children, elderly and weak die with him.
Previously, he flatly rejected Meng Ao's proposal, because he didn't want to touch the softest part of his heart. However, Meng Ao told him in one go and he had to stop. (To be continued.
