Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 31 Destiny in Zhou
Marquis Shen did not retreat as expected, and Luo Chengcheng began to prepare for the aftermath.

There is a high probability that Haojingcheng cannot be preserved.

In case Haojingcheng is really broken, Gine's life and death is a trivial matter.

The biggest problem is that the sanctity of the emperor will plummet.

Even if it is recovered by King Qin's army later, this is an indelible stain.

Therefore, Luo Cheng, under the watchful eyes of all the Zhou people in the entire Haojing city, sacrificed to heaven to trigger the heavenly change, proving that Bang Zhou's destiny is still stable.

It would be even better if he could protect Ho-kyung by the way.

To plant a seed in the hearts of Shen, Rong, Qin Wangjun, and Zhou.

All the previous failures and shame were caused by Gine's stupidity, so God ended his life with a failed war.

The major events of the country lie in wars and sacrifices. As a great Zongzheng, the Luo family often organizes sacrifices on behalf of the emperor.

Luo Cheng stood on the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven, offering various offerings one by one. His eyes were looking at the sky from a distance, as if King Su was looking at him.

"Old Ancestor, Cheng is really not reconciled, please forgive me."

Ji Zhao was silent and did not speak. Everyone has their own ideas, and his descendants are not his puppets.

[Ancestor's blessing has been withdrawn, and the luck point has been returned. 】

Since Luo Cheng is a firm person, let him go.

Withdrawing the blessing of his ancestors and making his life a little rough, it may be able to stimulate more potential in him and bring more surprises to the family.

Anyway, Luo Guo's foundation is very strong, and if there is no infighting, he will not be defeated for hundreds of years.

Everything was ready, Yue Yuexue's artifact was ready, Luo Cheng knelt directly on the altar and started his performance.

"King Su's spirit is in the sky, how bright and shining.

Your children and grandchildren are in the world, and they will inherit the mandate of heaven to establish a new dynasty.

Your name has been passed on from generation to generation, and your descendants have passed it on from generation to generation. "

After Luo Cheng sang the song for the first time, all the nobles and nobles began to sing along, and slowly the whole palace sounded the voice of the sage.

"King Su, your gods are in heaven, and your descendants are suffering.

The vicious thieves were attacking, and he said Zhou's destiny was shaky.

Your descendants respectfully ask you, the gods in the sky show their power.

The destiny of Bang Zhou is like the sun and the moon, and it will never fall for eternity. "

It has been circulated in the state and Zhou that the successor of King Wu is King Su, which is also the origin of Luo's control of the destiny.

King Su is the spiritual totem of all the old Zhou people and an undisputed saint, especially in the land of Haojing, his prestige is extremely outstanding.

Countless Zhou people sang along with them, and the scene was very solemn.

Countless snowflakes, large and large, seemed to appear out of thin air, and the sky that was clear before became dim in an instant.

"King Su has appeared!"

"King Su! Save your people!"

Countless voices of wailing sounded around the altar, even those nobles and nobles were no exception.

A trace of blood dripped from the corners of Luo Cheng's mouth, and he said loudly, "Mr.

The ancestors said that the destiny of the state is very clear.

Don't you feel ashamed that we should cheer up and let King So see this look?
The Rong people are just outside the capital. If you don't resist the invasion of the Rong people with heart, will you be able to see the ancestors and spirits in the future? "

Although the Zhou people did not believe in ghosts and gods as much as the merchants, they were more than enough to sacrifice their ancestors.

Everyone who said Luo Cheng's words was cheered up. King Su was a god who served the Haotian God, and they all wanted to see King Su after they died.

Although King Su did not directly punish those rebels, Zhou people at least had confidence in their hearts.

Especially those soldiers, when they saw the rebels coming like a tide, they were very afraid, but now they are full of courage.

Even if this does not make up for the absolute gap in strength, there is at least hope in everyone's hearts.

Luo Cheng prayed secretly in his heart, and with the help of the heavy snow, he hoped to survive the most difficult first day of the city defense battle.

The atmosphere in the Shenrong camp was completely different from the upsurge in Hojing.

Everyone stared blankly at the suddenly dim sky and the snowflakes that appeared out of thin air, and those snowflakes fell in the camp, but they bypassed the capital city!
Even though Shenhou decisively blocked the news and destroyed the stele, it was of no use. This kind of gossip could not be sealed at all.

Everyone has to spread the truth, and the whole camp is talking about it, especially the officials of Shen Guo, who have gone through the whole process completely.

The stone tablet was also seen with their own eyes, and no one will forget the words on it.

"Rebels and soldiers, cholera state week, June snowflakes, to show the power of heaven!"

Someone couldn't help but read it out, and then a cold and ominous feeling climbed into his heart, and he couldn't help shivering.

Those snowflakes melodiously fell into their necks. I don't know if the snowflakes were cold or their hearts were cold. Everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Marquis Shen is now a little fortunate that he sent troops with the Rong people, otherwise the current soldiers of Shen Guo would not necessarily have the strength to fight.

A person like King Rong, who was outside of the state and Zhou system, couldn't help rubbing the skin on his arm, and he got goosebumps.

"Is it so evil?" He couldn't help asking: "Is your King Su really that god? There are also many records about him in the books of my family. He is a very ordinary person."

There are indeed a lot of records about King Su in the ancient books of the Rong tribe, and basically the major failures are not recorded.

Beautify the relatively small failure, say it is a tie.

As for the winner, I didn't remember it because I didn't have it and I couldn't make it up randomly.

Shenhou himself was also inexplicably horrified. Among the current princes, he was indeed a hero.

But in the face of God, how could one not feel guilty.

That is King Su, the ancestral spirit who is said to serve the supreme god Haotian God.

After the horror, the real side appeared, forcing his guilty conscience and smiling at everyone: "Zhongqing.

The emperor was kidnapped by a traitor, this is God weeping for him.

Facing the heavy snow, we will build our glorious history and make our ancestors proud of us.

Soldiers, it's time to make a contribution, go to Haojing and rescue the emperor.

At that time, I will be alone in Haojing and hold a grand ceremony to worship the heavens, so that the heavens can hear your achievements.

Gu promises that the soldiers who step into the city first, regardless of whether they are Chinese or slaves, will feudal and establish a state!

This time, all the soldiers and soldiers have achieved military merits, and they will be rewarded three times! "

Marquis Shen's order was passed on by the messengers, which was considered to be a little bit of packing up the scattered people.

Especially those slave soldiers, King Su is simply an enemy to them.

In the face of King Su's miracle, they didn't care at all, they just wanted to get the reward promised by Shenhou and be able to break away from the status of slaves.

Shenhou said to King Rong again: "King Rong, start attacking immediately, the snow is getting colder and colder.

At that time, the soldiers can't even stretch their hands and feet, and facing the Zhou army defending the city, I am afraid they will suffer a big loss. "

King Rong said simply: "Okay, I will order now."

The two reached an agreement and began to siege the city according to the previously formulated battle plan.

"Boom boom boom!"

The three-way drum sounded, and the soldiers of the Shen Rong coalition began to siege the city.

Of course, the first group of siege soldiers were cannon fodder slave soldiers. These slaves almost didn’t have armor, they just wore clothes made of hemp, with simple knives and wooden shields in their hands, and rushed towards the city wall of Haojing like locusts. , their purpose is very clear to both parties, which is to consume the resources of the defending city in Haojing City.

"Squeak~"

"Boom!"

The heavy bronze city gate suddenly opened, and the roaring chariot galloped out. Guo Shi's father, dressed in bronze armor, stood on the chariot with a majestic long Ge in his hand.

Haojing's military power is indeed not much, but things like chariots are still enough.

Although many bankrupt Chinese people can no longer use chariots to fight, those small nobles who own fiefs are well-trained warriors.

Guo Shi's father led the army of chariots and slammed into these slave soldiers from the oblique side. Under the huge power of the horses and bronze chariots, blood and flesh flew in an instant, and shrill screams resounded all around.

Red and white flesh and blood were spread on the ground, and those colorful things didn't know which part of the body burst out from.

On this wide flat ground, the power of the chariot is decisive, and even those slave soldiers wielding broken knives can't even touch the people on the chariot, and the long Ge dedicated to the chariot can easily harvest their lives.

Guo Shi's father stood on the chariot and laughed wildly. At this moment, he really felt that he was not inferior to his father, and the soldiers of the Zhou Army on the city wall were also cheering.

This one-sided crushing is a huge boost to the morale of everyone, especially the people of Zhou who have just experienced the miracle.

Teams of messengers kept conveying news from the front line to Gine, "Your Majesty, Duke Guo led the chariot to fight, and it was unstoppable. Thief Shen suffered heavy losses, and there was no way to fight back."

Ji Nie was very happy, and smiled at everyone in the hall: "Guo Gong is indeed the most trusted minister of the widow, and he is indeed brave and resourceful."

In front of the capital city of Hao, Father Guo Shi passed by the slaves and was slaughtering recklessly. Suddenly, he heard a loud shout, followed by the same roar of a chariot, "Zhou Ren traitor, report your life."

Of course, the high-speed chariot could not stop, and when it directly broke through the queue of slave soldiers, Father Guo Shi controlled the chariot and looked at the man who shouted, but he didn't recognize it.

"Gu is the third prince of the emperor, Guo's clan, and you are the princes of the emperor. You thief still don't get out of the car and accept surrender."

It is a common behavior in wars of this era to report one's own family, tell one's noble blood, and overwhelm the opponent before the war.

Another very important role is that for the big men, they are usually captured and demanded for ransom, so that it is not easy to lose their lives.

Sure enough, when Father Guo Shi said this, the general on the opposite side, who looked at him as Doctor Shen Guoqing, would not take his own humiliation and report it to his family.

He directly urged the soldiers who were driving to fight against Guo Shifu. Although Guo Shifu was a fighter with a dagger, in his position, even the archer who was the head of the armor had to obey him.

Father Guo Shi ordered the charioteer to drive forward as well. There was no room for shooting arrows at such a close distance.

The two rushed to the front. He was tall and strong, and one slash shook the opposite general's hand, and another slashed him directly from the chariot.

With two random swings, the other two people on the opposite chariot will be headed.

Seeing that Guo Shifu was so brave, the soldiers who followed him cheered even more, driving chariots to frantically slaughter those slaves who were unable to resist.

Marquis Shen was not in a hurry at all, the slave soldiers were originally consumables, and he did not expect to be able to seduce a general in Haojing City.

"The chariot attacked without infantry cover. It's really courting death. Call the marksman and shoot him directly!"

Guo Shi's father killed a circle and was ready to go back. He should not have fought in the first place. These slave soldiers are consumables, and the precious combat power of the chariot soldiers should not be used here.

The archers on the city wall were covering Guo Shifu's retreat. No one noticed that several archers with big arms and round waists were holding weapons that were obviously larger than ordinary bows and arrows.

"Push!"

Several dark arrows smashed through the chaotic battlefield. Some were nailed to the bronze armor, but one passed through the gap between the armors and instantly penetrated Guo Shifu's body, and a fleshy voice sounded.

This sudden change stunned everyone in an instant. The chariot rushed into the capital of Hao under the driving of the imperial master, and Guo Shi's father gushed blood and died of breathlessness.

The messenger brought this news to Gine.

"Report..."

"Your Majesty, when Duke Guo returned to the city, the thieves from Shen Rong used secret arrows, and Duke Guo died."

Gine couldn't believe her ears, she just won a big victory, how did she die in a blink of an eye?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ji Neiqiang said with a smile: "Gong Guo is so brave, how could it be possible to die on the battlefield?"

The footsteps of the Shen Rong thieves did not stop for a moment, and the slave soldiers swarmed over the corpses covered in the open space.

More than a dozen of these slaves were carrying a long ladder, and their morale was very strong. The promise of Marquis Shen just now was engraved in their hearts.

People who have never been slaves will never understand how hopeless this status is. For generations, even people are not counted.

They didn't ask for a feudal state to build a state, and they didn't understand what a feudal state was to build a state, but Marquis Shen said that they didn't need to be slaves anymore, and they were willing to give everything.

even life.

Slaves' lives are worthless!

Because they are better off dead.

Under the temptation of freedom, after dropping many corpses, the leading slave soldiers had already rushed under the city of Haojing.

They raised their shields to the top of their heads, guarding against the sudden arrows.

A long ladder was placed on the top of the city. Under the urging of drums, the slave soldiers began to climb one after another, like ants, which was very spectacular.

Not only these slaves who tried to attack the city wall directly, but also some slave soldiers held a huge ramming wood, broke through the blockade of the arrow rain, and shouted in unison to hit the city gate.

The bronze city gate is very strong, and the sawdust is flying, as if it is standing still, but if you look closely, the whole gate is shaking slightly.

The soldiers guarding the city were not idle either. The well-trained Chinese people picked up the poles and lifted the long ladder against the wall according to the situation during the training.

Those slaves who climbed the long ladder fell directly in a string, like dumplings, and the casualties were not small.

These long ladders are not like the cloud ladders, which cannot be pushed at all, and they are relatively easy to deal with.

However, when the Rong King asked the Rong archers to join in to cover these slave soldiers who were constantly rushing up, the casualties of the Zhou army began to increase.

It must be said that the Dongyi people are the best at archery, but these Xirong people are not bad.

Hunting in the vast land in the northwest requires high archery skills. These archers with precise archery skills put enormous pressure on the Zhou army's defense.

After all, I see from time to time that an arrow is suddenly inserted into the face of my comrade-in-arms beside me. The sense of shadow shrouded in death does require a relatively strong psychological quality.

Haojingcheng is the second largest city in the whole state after Luoyi. While making it more difficult for the attackers, it also has extremely high military requirements for the defenders.

Just to fully defend the city requires almost all the troops in the city to be emptied. Since there is still a reserve, the slave soldiers can only be driven to the city wall.

In today's wars, chariots have always been used to fight the enemy in the field, and there is rarely such a situation where a city needs to be defended.

Those Rong soldiers and Shen Guo's slaves seemed to be inexhaustible, and they rushed towards the city head in a steady stream.

And seeing the reduction of the log in Haojing, they began to use the ladder,
"Report..."

The voice of the messenger came towards Gine like an urging order.

The battle continued from morning to afternoon, and the Shen Rong coalition did not stop for a moment, attacking regardless of the cost.

Suddenly, thunderous cheers came from the city gate.

"Report..."

"Your Majesty, Ximen has been breached, and the thief Shen has entered the city."

When the news came, everyone's faces turned pale.

Luo Cheng sighed slightly, still hadn't survived the most dangerous first day.

He looked up at the sky, remembered what his ancestors said to him, and suddenly felt what God's will is like a knife, which cannot be violated.

……

Shenhou's rebellion exposed the weakness of the Zhou royal family to everyone. In theory, the breach of Haojing would cause huge damage to the sanctity of the emperor.

However, according to the information obtained from the ruins, although the Zhou people criticized Zhou Youwang for angering the heavens, a large number of poems praising the state and Zhou Tianming were unearthed during the same period.

This is a very strange phenomenon, just as the anonymous poet of the Tang Dynasty said - "How does the will of heaven show like a knife? Wang Ming is not in Zhou or secluded."

All the blame for the breach of Haojingcheng was attributed to King Zhou You, and everyone, including the princes, had no doubts about Zhou Tianzi's destiny.

According to historical records, the ancestors of the Luo family, Luohou, who served as the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, held a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens in the capital city of Hao, and attracted a miraculous heavy snow in the June season, which led to All Zhou people have no doubts about the destiny.

Most scholars believe that this was a forgery in the later period, but the materials excavated from the tombs recorded this event, and even the ruins of the Rong people have this record. There are various signs that this event is true.

The Luo family has few people and has always lived in a secluded place. It is also very secretive about the various miracles in the history books. The core members never accept outside interviews, so the author is still inconclusive about the truth of this matter. - "The Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
