The Jagged Empire of Daqin

The Meng city wall is three feet high, and there is a moat five hundred meters away from the four major gates, which can be regarded as a fortified city.

"General Pei, this guy Song Zheng stays behind closed doors, what should we do?"

Xiao Xiong, who was riding a horse and standing at the front of the army, asked with a serious expression. Beside him, Pei Ji was also riding a horse and standing at the front of the army. Hearing Xiao Xiong's question, Pei Ji said calmly: "The crossbowmen's quiver It has been exhausted in the Luhe Battle, and our army has lost the advantage of ultra-long-range suppression!"

"There is no rain of crossbow arrows, and no siege equipment. Under such circumstances, if you want to break through Mengcheng, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky. What we have to do now is to wait for Song Zheng to go out of the city to fight!"

Xiao Xiong frowned slightly, "Will Song Zheng go out of the city to fight?"

"Yes!" Pei Ji smiled confidently.

Song is relying on the Song family, a top family, to provide military supplies and maintain the daily consumption of the army. Now that the Song family has been wiped out for more than a month, Song Zheng has not received supplies for more than a month, and the 25 army has not received any supplies for a month. Getting supplies, the situation is dire.

In this case, if Song Zheng does not leave the city to fight, sooner or later there will be a mutiny. After all, people are giving you their lives for a bite of food.

Seeing that Pei Ji was so confident, Xiao Xiong didn't speak anymore, and waited quietly.

Mengcheng, Beichenglou!

A middle-aged man in black armor and a sword hanging on his waist stood by the protective wall, his eyes were full of hatred looking at the Qin army seven hundred paces away, he was the famous King of Cloud Song Zheng, the Song family Second in command!

PS: "Please make a full order, ask for a full order, ask for a full order, important things are said three times, I update so well, I can come to a full order to encourage and encourage!"

Chapter 698 Song Zheng's Great Sadness and Great Joy

And the reason why he looked at Qin Jun with eyes full of hatred was that Ying Chang slaughtered the nine clans of the Song family. Although his wife and children were with him, his uncles, brothers and fathers were all killed by Qin Jun's sword. The hatred of the father is irreconcilable, let alone the hatred of the extermination of the clan!

But while hating the Qin army, he was also terribly afraid of the Qin army. Just as Pei Ji expected, he hadn't received any supplies for more than a month. Originally, besides the Song family, he also had support from local tyrants and landlords from all over the world. After the Song family was slaughtered, all these local tyrants and landowners cut off contact with him.

His current situation is exactly the same as that of Zheng Long!

No food!

Whenever he thinks about food, Song Zheng always envies the Qin army, envy that the Qin army has a huge empire as a logistics, which can provide a steady stream of food, so that the frontline army can launch wars without worry.

I can't be envious!

tread... tread...

There was a sound of footsteps, Song Zheng turned his head slightly, and saw a young man in military uniform walking towards him. Seeing that it was this young man, Song Zheng turned his head away again, and continued to stare at the people outside the city. Qin Jun.

"Father!"

The young man in uniform walked up to Song Zheng and saluted solemnly.

That's right, this person is Song Zheng's eldest son, named Song Luo, who is 20 years old this year.

"Didn't my father let you stay in the mansion? How did you get here?" Song Zheng said in a calm tone.

There was a flash of struggle in Song Luo's eyes, and then he lowered his head and said cautiously: "Father, my lord, let... let the child persuade you to surrender..."

Song Zheng closed his eyes in pain, and couldn't help laughing sadly: "What else did you say?"

"If the father is unwilling to surrender, then...then divorce her, and sever ties with...and the baby, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth younger sister and the fifth younger sister, lest Emperor Qin's anger burn his mother's family! "Song Luo said bravely.

Song Zheng turned around, looked at Song Luo expressionlessly and said, "Go back to your mother, it's too late!"

"It's the father!" Song Luo replied, and hurriedly withdrew.

Looking at the back of Song Luo leaving, Song Zheng sighed in his heart. He understood that his wife asked him to divorce his wife and sever ties with his children in order to protect his children and her mother clan, but the matter could not be resolved so easily. Only before Emperor Qin issued an order to slaughter the nine clans of the Song family, it would be useful to divorce his wife and sever the relationship with his children.

After decree, doing anything is futile, unless he surrenders.

Only by surrendering is it possible to exchange for a glimmer of life, but he is not reconciled, the Song family has tens of thousands of lives, if they don't kill a few more Qin soldiers for the dead Song family, how can they meet the old man under Jiuyou after death? ancestors.

Song Zheng turned his head and glanced at the soldiers of the Song army around him, and found that most of the soldiers of the Song army were pale, and some of them even had trembling calves.

Military spirit is not available!

Hey, how should we fight this battle?How will it end?

Song Zheng fell into distress and sorrow, and his mind was in chaos.

bother!

"Report!"

Just when Song Zheng was upset and irritable, a soldier rushed over, and before Song Zheng could ask anything, the soldier knelt down on one knee and made a report: "My lord, the Marquis of Nanmeng and Zhou Xin have passed away." Lead the army to come to support, and are waiting outside the south gate to see the prince!"

"What did you say?" Song Zheng was shocked!

"The Marquis of Nanmeng and Lord Zhouxin have led an army to support them. Judging by their strength, they are almost [-], and they also carry a large amount of rations. The Marquis of Nanmeng is waiting for the prince to see him at the south gate!" The soldier repeated what he said just now .

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Song Zheng laughed heartily with excitement, his heart was full of surprises, he laughed out loud one after another, the loud laughter was even heard by Pei Ji and Xiao Xiong who were seven hundred steps away from the city.

Are you crazy?

Pei Ji and Xiao Xiong looked confused, they couldn't figure out why Song Zheng was laughing, and they were laughing so loudly that they were afraid that others might not hear them.

North Tower!

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and welcome the Marquis of Nanmeng's army into the city, and besides, I would like to thank you very much for inviting me over to the Marquis of Nanmeng!" Song Zheng smiled at the soldiers with a blushing face.

With Zhou Xin's [-] army and the food Zhou Xin brought, it is enough for him to last for a while. If possible, it is not a bad idea to go out of the city to fight back against the Qin army!

"Follow orders!" The soldiers responded, and then hurriedly got up from the ground and quickly left the tower.

After about three incense sticks, a burly man, led by soldiers, came down to the North Tower. This burly man was wearing armor, and it was Nan Menghou Zhou Xin!

Song Zheng walked towards Zhou Xin, bent over and saluted with a more excited expression: "Nan Menghou, your support is too timely, please accept my king's worship!"

"Haha, Lord Song, there is no need to be too polite. Although I, Zhou Xin, have never read a book, I also know that we are all grasshoppers tied together by a thread, sharing wealth and suffering together. If you are captured by the Qin army, I Zhou Xin will Little life, I'm afraid it won't be guaranteed!" Zhou Xin supported Song Zheng with both hands, and said to Song Zheng with a smile on his face.

Song Zheng was so moved, he immediately hugged Zhou Xin's waist, and said very moved: "You brother, I, Song Zheng, have recognized you all my life!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, haha!" Zhou Xin laughed loudly.

After Song Zheng paused for a while, he asked expectantly, "Brother Zhou, how many soldiers and food did you bring with you this time?"

"Brother Song, brother, I brought all of my family property this time, a total of [-] troops, plus [-] shi of grain!" Zhou Xin said loudly, afraid that others would not hear him.

"Haha, good! Haha!" Song Zheng was so excited, if it wasn't for the occasion, he would have wanted to vent his excitement by bouncing around in place.

With this 25 shi of grain, it is enough to make 30 in the city, oh no, plus Zhou Xin's 30 army, that is [-] troops, [-] shi of grain, saving some food, can make [-] troops eat more than one moon!

Although it is small, it can also solve the urgent need!

"How is Qin Jun doing now?" Zhou Xin asked suddenly.

"Oh, it's just outside the city, Brother Zhou, please take a look!"

Song Zheng quickly brought Zhou Xin to the edge of the protective wall, looking at Qin Jun who was seven hundred steps away.

At the same time, Qin Jun!

"Report!"

"General Pei and General Xiao, the villain has just detected that a large number of troops are entering the city through the south gate of Meng City. Looking at the military flag, it should be the army of Zhou Xin, Marquis of Nanmeng!"

A scout ran to Pei Ji and Xiao Xiong to report.

Hearing this news, Pei Ji Xiaoxiong finally understood that Song Zheng was so happy for Mao, and it turned out that reinforcements had arrived.

"It seems that Zhou Xin came to seek refuge with Song Zheng this week. Now we have a hard time fighting. Now there are 30 troops in the city!" Xiao Xiong looked solemn, feeling the pressure like Mount Tai.

Chapter 699 Song Zheng's Great Sadness and Great Joy

Full of confidence, Pei Ji couldn't help but frowned, and asked, "How much food do we have left?"

"Less than fifty thousand stones!" Xiao Xiong replied.

Pei Ji's heart sank, what would 40 shi be used for? [-] iron cavalry could consume as much as [-] infantry, plus [-] imperial guards, the general would have to consume [-] shi of food a day. In other words, [-] shi of food was only enough for the Qin army Eat for ten days!

And although it can last for ten days, the Qin army only has five days to use, because it takes time to return, or else it will retreat after ten days, and there will be no food for the army to return, so within these five days, the Qin army will either attack the city, Either retreat!

"I ran away in embarrassment the first time I led an army. It's a great shame. No, I have to find a way to wait like this. It's not the same thing!" Pei Ji's face was ugly, and he began to think. The way to break through Mengcheng within five days!

Seeing that Pei Ji started to think of a way, Xiao Xiong didn't bother, and also started to think of a way.

North Tower!

Zhou Xin and Song Zheng stood on the edge of the city wall, holding the protective wall with both hands, and they looked at Qin Jun quietly. Suddenly, Zhou Xin asked, "Can Qin Jun see the location here?"

"Standing on the edge of the protective wall, Qin Jun can naturally see it, but if you step back three steps, Qin Jun can't see it!" Although Song Zheng wondered why Zhou Xin asked this, he still answered seriously.

"That's good!" Zhou Xin's mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile.

"What do you mean?" Song Zheng frowned, feeling a bad premonition.

Zhou Xin stared at Song Zheng with a half-smile, and said softly, "Kill you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xin suddenly pulled out a dagger from his bosom, and stabbed decisively at Song Zheng's abdomen. Song Zheng turned pale with fright, and quickly backed away, but he was still a bit late, and the sharp dagger pierced through Song Zheng's body. Armor, stabbing into the soft belly.

This was more than that, after Zhou Xin was stabbed, he twisted the handle of the dagger, and the blade twisted in Song Zheng's abdomen.

Song Zheng's mouth overflowed with blood, and he looked at Zhou Xin with a terrified and unquestionable expression. He really wanted to pry his mouth open to say something, but under the great pain, he had no chance to speak at all. At this moment, Zhou Xin Sneered and said:

"Prince Song, don't blame me Zhou Xin for being ruthless and ungrateful for stabbing a knife in the back. I have no choice but to do this. Otherwise, my nine clans will be slaughtered. If you want to blame, blame Qin Jun for being too strong. Your strength It's too weak, it won't last long!"

"Lord Song, on this day of every year, I will definitely go to your grave to worship, and today, I will use your head as a certificate of surrender to the Qin army!"

"Pfft!"

Zhou Xin pulled out the dagger, and a stream of blood splashed on Zhou Xin's face. Song Zheng fell back softly, with a plop, and fell in response. Song Zheng didn't die so quickly, but he was powerless to struggle, so he could only slowly die. Wait for the blood to dry.

This method of death is the most painful, compared to watching oneself die slowly.

Blood flowed from Song Zheng's abdomen, soaked Song Zheng's lower body, and flowed down the floor to the lower part. The surrounding Song soldiers were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and fell into a daze.

The prince is dead?

Just gone?

"Everyone, the Great Qin Emperor is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. He is a well-deserved lord of the Ming Dynasty. When the Great Qin Emperor slaughtered the Song family, it was the Song family who sought their own death. Are you willing to be buried with the Song family? No, we just want to have a full meal, and to be able to live in the Song Dynasty. Surviving in this troubled world is not worth working for a perishing family of bullshit, our lives are our own!"

"If you want to survive, there is no other way but to surrender. Don't worry, the Qin army only kills the Song family, and has nothing to do with the Song family. The Qin army will never use a knife. If you believe me, I, Zhou Xin, will surrender for you!"

Holding a blood-stained dagger, Zhou Xin yelled loudly at the soldiers of the Song Army, wanting to seize Song Zheng's military power, so that his surrender would be meaningful to the Qin Army, and it would also benefit him the most.

"Brothers, don't listen to them, the prince treats us well!"

"Backstab, treacherous villain, brothers, kill him!"

"kill!"

Song Zheng, as a hero of a generation, one of the most powerful forces in Yanjing, naturally has many loyal people. If Zhou Xin thinks that he can seize military power by killing Song Zheng, then he is too naive, but Zhou Xin is not a naive person. Just be prepared to deal with this kind of scene.

"Brothers, in order to survive, kill these diehards, kill!" Zhou Xin waved his hand!

"kill!"

"Pfft!"

"what!"

"Despicable villain, for the prince...poof!"

The army brought by Zhou Xin immediately turned against them, and greeted the soldiers of the Song army with spears and sticks. Everything happened so suddenly that the Song army was not prepared at all. In a short period of time, the Song army lost control of the North Tower, and the city was also in chaos !

"Ha ha!"

After capturing the North Tower, Zhou Xin laughed loudly, and then walked up to Song Zheng with a dagger in his hand. Song Zheng had bled to death, and his pupils had collapsed. Zhou Xin squatted down, lifted Song Zheng's hair, and The dagger slit Song Zheng's throat, then up and down, and finally cut off Song Zheng's head.

Zhou Xin held Song Zheng's head, jumped up, jumped on the protective wall, raised Song Zheng's head facing the Qin army, and shouted: "Generals of the Great Qin, Song Zheng has been beheaded by the villain. Please enter the city quickly and help the villain to destroy those who stubbornly resist Qin in the city!"

After the words fell, the north city gate opened wide, and the suspension bridge hanging on the city wall also fell on the moat.

Qin army!

.....

Pei Ji, Xiao Xiong, and even the entire army were stunned. What happened?

What's the matter?

"What a Zhou letter, to actually use Song Zheng's head as a vote!" After Pei Ji regained his senses, he suddenly understood what happened on the tower just now, and his face showed an unconcealable excitement.

What a pie in the sky!

"The whole army obeys the order, kill!!" Xiao Xiong yelled loudly at Mengcheng with his spear in his hand, and then he took the lead and charged towards the north gate of the city.
