The Qin army launched an arrogant and comprehensive attack in Hebei, and went deep into the two towns of Chengde and Weibo. Although the troops were arrogant, the results were excellent. Many officials in Yanjing wrote letters, believing that the two generals Zhou Dewei and Guo Chongtao on the front were too radical. However, Li Jing kept these memorials and did not take them seriously. In fact, this seemingly radical style of play was actually based on comprehensive intelligence control and the strategic situation of advantages. The second towns of Hebei had long become an isolated army and had no soldiers to help.

On the contrary, the Qin army has the advantage of number and combat power in the army. They do not fight against the opponent's field or siege, but directly engage in a siege battle, killing the opponent's city as fast as possible, and dividing the city of one city. It seems risky, but it is actually very stable. If the two towns in Hebei dare to go out of the city to fight, the Qin army, whose troops seem to be dispersed, will not be in crisis. On the contrary, the two towns also have dispersed troops, changing the decisive battle into a small-scale battle, and the Qin army still takes the absolute initiative.

It can even be said that Li Jing wanted to use this division tactic to prevent the two towns from assembling a large army to fight decisively. Fighting large-scale battles consumed too much, not only consuming the Qin army, but also consuming the second town's last confidence. For Li Jing, who now completely regards the second town as his own pocket, the fruit is already ripe, but it is a pity to fight it to pieces.

On the day when the victory of the Battle of Zhenzhou was reported to Yanjing, Li Jing was completely relieved.

In this battle, Zhou Dewei used 20,000 to 30,000 ambushing and artillery groups to bombard the mine formation, and dealt with the Zhao army that came out of the city to attack at night. In one battle, he achieved great results of annihilation of more than 3,000 enemies and capturing more than 15,000 prisoners. He also captured the chief general of the Zhao army. Sima Wang Jingqi, a Sima of Chengde Army. Faced with the fierce ambush of the Qin army, Wang Jingyin, who was nearly twenty miles away in Zhending City, did not even dare to go out to the city to help. He led his troops to line up at the city gates and gathered the defeated soldiers who fled back, and did not dare to leave the city at all.

After dawn, the Zhao army in Zhending City were all extremely frightened, and the city gate was closed and he dared not talk about leaving the city to fight. Zhou Dewei followed Li Jing's order and did not force the attack on Zhending City. He still went down the village along the Hutuo River and continued to confront the Zhao army.

In the next few days, Wei Bo and Chengde towns, eight prefectures and counties, some city guards were unable to bear the pressure and tried to break out of the city. As a result, they were no match for the Qin army in the wilderness. After several battles, the soldiers who dared to leave the city were defeated without exception, either dead or captured, and even several city guards were wiped out. The empty city was easily occupied by the Qin army, which became an unexpected gain.

The second towns in Hebei fought alone. Although the two towns had more than 200,000 troops under their command, they all felt that they were isolated and helpless. The Qin army was deployed too quickly this time, with the bluffs of the previous few times, and the summer harvest was about to be imminent before the raid, so the two towns were a little careless. After the Qin army came over, and directly implemented this arrogant tactic, the 400,000 or 500,000 troops in the second town were divided into dozens of cities and military camps in the eight states, and they could not form effective combat power at all. After being divided, there was no effective command system.

The elite troops in the two towns were all the Ya Army and some other foreign town troops, but more were county town soldiers, garrison soldiers, and united soldiers. Most of these soldiers were newly recruited in recent years. Although there were many, they were not equipped, trained, and had low combat effectiveness.

In recent years, after the Qin vassal entered Hebei and successively captured the three towns of Lu Long, Yiwu and Cangjing, the remaining two old vassal states in Hebei, Wei Bo and Chengde, began to flee frequently. Like many slaves in the common people, they heard many rumors about the Qin vassal states, saying that the Qin vassal states were paradise and people continued to take risks to escape. For this reason, the two towns had to increase the punishment, and even tattooed the faces of all military soldiers, then dyed them with ink, and pointed the military digits. The checkpoints in various places were strictly inspected, and once people found that the tattooed person escaped from the army, they would be arrested immediately.

This move once achieved good results, but now, after Qin Fan attacked the Second Town in an all-round way, soldiers from all over the Second Town began to escape again.

At first, only a small number of soldiers took the opportunity to escape to the Qin army. Later, more and more soldiers fled, and even whole groups of soldiers fled to surrender to the Qin army. So far, the front-line battle reports received by Li Jing have already shown that the second towns have begun to surrender to the Qin army.

On the seventh day of the war, more than a dozen generals had surrendered to Qin, and three even offered the city to surrender directly.

Shenzhou, the governor's office.

Su Han, the governor of Shenzhou and the former army of Chengdezhen, sat in the study with an urgent brow and sighing.

"Encourt, the situation is getting worse and worse!" Su Han's adviser, Niu Yi, the chief of Shenzhou, said worriedly, "In the battle, Wang Jingqi was defeated and captured, and the Boye Army was almost wiped out. Now Wang Jingyin is scared and helpless against the Qin army. Just seven days after the war started, as far as we know, more than a dozen generals have surrendered to Qin, and even three counties were sacrificed by them. In our four counties of Shenzhou, Anping, Raoyang, Lucheng, and Luze, there are two cities of Anping and Raoyang that have been guarded by the Qin army. Now, our north has completely fallen into control by the Qin army. Not to mention that the Qin army can quickly go south along the Hutuo River. Just the ten thousand troops around Gao Siji were surrounded outside the city, we can't stop it. Gao Siji, but Li Jing's disciple, is known as the white horse and silver spear, is extremely brave."

Su Han sighed, "What can I do? I am willing to kill the thief but I can't help but win the will."

"To this day, I will make plans early."

Su Han knew in his heart that if the current situation was too early to surrender, he might be able to make some credit. If the situation was irrescued, there would be nothing left at that time. But if he really wanted to get to this point, he couldn't help but hesitate. Su Han was also a military general of Chengde for generations. Although Chengde had been controlled by four families for more than a hundred years, their Su family had been Chengde generals for more than a hundred years, neither high nor low. In Chengde Town, the Su family's power was not small. No matter who regarded it as the commander of Dejie, the status of their Su family would not change. But if he surrendered to Qin, according to his understanding of Qin's vassal, the Su family would never retain the right to become the head of the German army in the future. The Su family is hard-won today, and no one is willing to give up easily unless they had to.

"Empress, if you miss the opportunity now, you will have nothing."

This sentence finally made Su Han make a choice. "Call the officers above the squadron immediately to come to the office to discuss matters." After pausing, he said in a deep voice. "In addition, transfer all the soldiers of a certain tooth to the office to ambush. Remember, be careful and do not leak the news."

Looking at Su Han's expression, Niu Yi nodded with a smile, feeling relieved. Fortunately, the old boss knew the current affairs, otherwise he would have to find another way for his own future.

That night, the soldiers and horses were on guard against each other in Shenzhou City. However, the governor's mansion in Shenzhou was brightly lit and officers at all levels gathered together.

"My brothers and sisters, today I have gathered together, and only one thing has been announced. Now everyone has seen the situation. The danger of death. You follow me, I can't bear to take you all to continue jumping into the fire pit. Therefore, I plan to surrender to Qin tomorrow, which can be regarded as finding a way out for you brothers."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly became silent. No one expected that Su Han, the general Chengde, would surrender before the battle. Although all kinds of bad news came these days, it was true that several generals opened the city to surrender, Su Han was the governor of a state after all, and he was also the governor of a state as the military general who commanded the troops of a state. This was really surprising.

In addition to being surprised, many generals breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone could see that Chengde could not hold on. Even if he had survived this year, what about next year? He would be annexed by the Qin army sooner or later. Since that is the case, who would be willing to fight such a battle? If he could find a way out earlier, of course everyone would be willing.

However, not everyone has this idea. There are still many generals in the hall who publicly oppose it. Some of them are because their families are in Zhenzhou, some are because they are confidants of the Wang family, and some are because they die in the wars with the Qin army several times. No matter what the reason, they do not want to surrender.

Su Han's eyes coldly swept over the extremely fierce guys, and there were quite a few people. Among them, the highest-identity was Wang Zhen, the city guards' envoy, who was a son of the Wang family. Many of the remaining people were his confidants, and some of the top officers of the battalion's main team.

After Wang Zhen and others had called out enough, Su Han smiled coldly, put down his wine glass and patted his palms gently.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the hall, and then the door of the hall was knocked open. Su Han's tooth soldier rushed in with iron armor and swords and shields in his hands.

Wang Zhen's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Su Han was prepared for a long time and was actually luring them out just now.

"Su Han, you bastard, the Su family has been favored by Wang for generations. Now that you betray your master, you will not die a good death!"

Su Han sneered coldly: "The Su family was already a military academy in Hebei during the Sui Dynasty. From the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, from An Lushan, Shi Siming rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and later was recruited by the court and became the Chengde Military Academy. In short, it has been through four families that control Chengde Town. Your Wang family is just one of them. Do you think you are the real King of Chengde?" After that, he waved his hand and a group of fangs stepped forward and pulled the people who had opposed it before to the corridor. There was a sound of swords and axes. After a while, the heads of Wang Zhen and dozens of officers were already taken to the hall, bloodied.

"My fellow comrades, do you have any objections to the surrender of Qin?" Su Han swept over the generals, and everyone shook their heads.

"Hahaha, okay, I'll send someone outside the city to contact General Gao. Now, I'll ask you to write a letter of surrender with me."

The surrender book was full of the names of the generals, and there were also blood fingerprints stained with the blood of Wang Zhen and others just now, and the heads of dozens of officers including Wang Zhen were attached. Together, Su Han sent Niu Yi to Gao Siji's military camp outside the city.

At the same time, the generals were continued to stay in the governor's mansion, and Su Han sent tooth soldiers to start taking over the city defense.

At dawn, Niu Yi rode a tall horse, and was proudly leading the way for Gao Siji and returned to the city of Shenzhou.

The city gate of Shenzhou slowly opened in front of Gao Siji and 10,000 Qin troops. Su Han led the civil and military officials in the city, as well as all the defenders who put down their swords and untied their armor, slowly left the city, waiting for Gao Siji's surrender.

The process of surrender was very smooth, without any accidents.

Gao Siji's army was not bloody, and he occupied Shenzhou City without any effort.

On the same day, with the persuasion of Su Han, Niu Yi and others, the defenders of Lucheng and Luze County in the south of Shenzhou also surrendered.
