Chapter 188 City Break
When Wu Shan waited until the fourth watch, he came to the east gate. He had already thought of a way to open the door. The fourth watch is when people sleep the most deeply, and the third watch is when the defenders still have to worry about enemy attacks.
, but as soon as the fourth watch came and they thought that daybreak was coming, they completely relaxed their spirits. Even the sergeant guarding the city gate dozed off leaning on his spear. Wu Shan slowly came to the city gate, with his right hand
Holding the handle of the knife tightly, he made up his mind to kill these soldiers by surprise, and then open the city gate. Although these people were his companions in life and death, his promise to Li Si forced him to treat them
Take action.
At this time, there were several people sneaking in not far away. They were all the same people as Wu Shan. They learned through various methods that they had to open the east gate by themselves, so they also came here at this time.
They all also held weapons in their hands.
Wu Shan walked up to the first soldier. The man opened his eyes and found that it was Wu Shan. He looked embarrassed and said with a smile: "Sir, I..." He wanted to explain, but unexpectedly answered him
What he heard were not words of understanding, nor scolding, but a stinging pain coming from his abdomen. When he lowered his head, he saw the knife in Wu Shan's hand stabbed into his lower abdomen. He looked at it in disbelief.
Before this person he trusted could make a sound, the knife in Wu Shan's hand had been pulled out from his abdomen and slashed at his throat. "Bang" he fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Others around him also woke up after hearing the sound, but Wu Shan's movements became very fast at this time. After killing the man, his knife had already moved towards the neck of the next man. Before anyone could understand what was going on,
When what happened, three people had already fallen to the ground. Only then did the others know that Wu Shan was going to do something bad for them. Some people shouted and thrust their spears at them, while others shouted uncontrollably.
These screams not only alerted the Qin soldiers in other places, but also let those who came to seize the east gate know that someone at the east gate had launched their attack earlier than them, so they headed east as quickly as possible.
They rushed to the door, and at the same time the weapons in their hands were already revealed. When they arrived, they happened to see Wu Shan fighting with several soldiers guarding the city. Seeing this situation, they already understood what Wu Shan and their own thoughts were.
The same thing happened, so they rushed up to help him fight the Qin army. Some clever people arrived in front of the city gate and removed the huge door latch blocking it. Then they pushed the east gate open to the slightest extent.
At this time, the Qin soldiers who heard the sound also arrived. They saw dozens of people fighting against each other at the east gate. They were stunned for a moment, and then saw several people opening the city gate. Only then did they capture the right person.
There was a traitor, and they rushed forward to prevent the city gate from being opened. Some people shouted loudly: "Oh no, there is a spy who wants to open the city gate. Someone come quickly!" The voice spread loudly in the quiet night.
The distance was also very clear. In a short time, the Qin soldiers from the city and other places rushed over, and hundreds of Qin soldiers came to the east gate. At this time, the east gate had been opened through a gap.
, they were pushing the door open with all their strength, and the Qin soldiers had already surrounded them, using their swords and spears to attack the dozens of people who were trying to open the city gate.
Upon seeing this, Wu Shan hurriedly rushed forward and shouted: "Everyone, come with me to block them, so that others can open the city gate wider!" Those who were fighting with the Qin soldiers guarding the gate together with him
Hearing, they rushed forward like him. They didn't think they could still live, but they hoped that their death would be valuable. The sound of fighting was heard in the distance along with the sound of the city gate opening.
When Fusu saw that the city gate had been opened, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack. Suddenly the drums beat loudly, and the soldiers who had been waiting impatiently shouted and attacked the city gate. The wood hit the city gate with just one click.
The ajar city gate has been completely
After breaking through, the soldiers rushed into the city. They saw more than a dozen people struggling to support themselves surrounded by hundreds of Qin soldiers. Many corpses had fallen under their feet, some wearing Qin army uniforms and others.
Wearing ordinary clothes.
Those soldiers took it for granted that those wearing Qin army uniforms were the enemy, and the others were internal agents, so they swung their weapons at the Qin soldiers. At the same time, someone stepped forward to protect the people who were fighting hard with the Qin soldiers. At this time, Wu Shan fell.
Shit, seeing that he was not only wearing the uniform of a defender, but also an officer, the officers and soldiers would naturally not let him go. As soon as he cut down a Qin soldier, a spear pierced his chest.
Just now he was making people die in silence
, he was soon killed by the people who came in from the city. But in this chaotic situation, no one paid attention to whose hands a person died last time. After he fell, he was trampled in all directions.
The men and horses were trampled to a pulp. Not every hero's glorious deeds will be known to everyone. Wu Shan was buried in a hand-to-hand battle. No one knows about him anymore, and no one will know who he is.
He was the first to attack the east gate.
Seeing that the city gate was breached, those Qin soldiers had already lost the confidence to resist, because their last support had been lost, and they were facing Fusu's army that was several times their size.
After falling, they retreated, hoping that they could safely retreat into the palace city and take advantage of the favorable location to fight again.
But the Fusu army would not let them get what they wanted. They followed closely and killed the Qin soldiers one after another.
Fusu saw that the city was broken and the Qin soldiers guarding the city were completely unable to fight with him, so he ordered the entire army not to harm Qin soldiers as long as they surrendered, but to collect their weapons and keep them aside.
However, this caused many Qin soldiers who had been waiting for death in despair to simply put down their weapons and surrender to Fusu's army. Fusu knew that he did not want an empty city to capture Xianyang, but wanted everything in Xianyang.
Use it as a bargaining chip to fight for the world in the future.
In this way, while fighting, fleeing and surrendering, the Qin army finally retreated to the palace. With a sound, the palace gate was closed after the Qin soldiers entered. But now there are less than a thousand Qin soldiers guarding the palace gate, and that
The palace gate is completely incomparable to the city gate of Xianyang. But Fusu was not in a hurry to order anyone.
Instead of launching an attack, he had people surround the palace. For this palace with a long history, Fusu didn't want to imitate Xiang Yu and burned it down, so he wanted to force the people inside to surrender.
You can take it off yourself without damaging your ancestor's belongings.
After Li Wenming followed the army into Xianyang City, he ran to the place he had dreamed of all these years under the protection of several sergeants. That was his home, the original Prime Minister's Mansion in Xianyang City. Along the way, although he saw people
Abandon
There were bright lights and sounds, but no one came out of the house. It turned out that after Fusu's army entered the city, in order to protect Xianyang City from military disasters, Fusu had issued strict orders not to allow sergeants to break into people's houses without permission.
,same
Shi Ye ordered people to loudly announce as soon as they entered the city that the people were not allowed to go out, otherwise they would be killed. Therefore, although the Fusu Army had broken through Xianyang City, the city was still there, as if it was still night. When Li Wenming followed the familiar
When he came to his house on the road, he saw only ruins. This move really surprised Li Wenming. After a while, he rushed forward like crazy. The sergeant behind him had to follow him closely, not daring to leave.
about.
It turned out that after Zhao Gao caused the whole family to be captured, Zhao Gao ordered people to search here to find something about Li Si's potential strength, but in the end nothing was found. In the end, Zhao Gao died in anger.
Someone lit a fire here and burned the originally splendid Prime Minister's Mansion to ashes.
After rushing inside, Li Wenming fell to his knees and cried bitterly. He could not have imagined that not only would he not be able to avenge his father, but that even after he captured Xianyang, he would not be able to find everything he had in the past. How could he not let all this go?
What about heartbreak?
In the palace, Ziying sat on the throne in despair. After learning that Zhang Han's army was defeated in Shangjun, he no longer had confidence in defending Xianyang, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly and suddenly.
. It was fine during the day, but at night the city gate was opened by someone, and I heard that someone opened the city gate from the inside. But all this is irrelevant, because he was defeated anyway, and it doesn’t matter how he was defeated.
The overall situation was at stake. Seeing the chamberlains and maids running around in the palace and the Qin soldiers retreating, Ziying felt very ridiculous, because no matter how they tried, they could not change the outcome of defeat.
At this time, a military general walked up to Ziying and said: "Emperor, it's better to find a way to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible. You will defend the emperor to the death." Ziying looked at him with strange eyes and said: "Now, I, Da Qin, are not being defeated.
Qi, Chu and other remnants of the six kingdoms were captured by Fusu. Where should I go?" The general was speechless for a moment and froze there. After a while, he said: "Emperor, I have left the green mountains here, so I am not afraid.
We don’t have firewood. As long as we can get out of Xianyang, we can always find a way."
Ziying smiled bitterly and said: "Now that the Fusu Army has surrounded the palace, how can we get out? Moreover, it has only been a few days since I took the throne, and the people of the world do not regard me as the emperor. How can we rise again? Now I just want to be with you."
Let's talk to Fusu face to face." After saying that, Ziying stood up and walked out. He was still full of resentment. He hated the unfairness of the world. As soon as he sat on the emperor's throne that he had always wanted to do, Fusu's army was overwhelming.
The attack came and eventually defeated Xianyang.
The Fusu army outside the city was ordered to surround but not attack. When they were wondering, a message came from the palace wall: "My emperor wants to talk to Fusu."
Fusu came to the palace wall under the escort of his own soldiers and said: "My prince is here, Ziying, what else can you say? If you open the palace door now and come out to surrender, I will consider that you and I are both of the Ying family.
Save your life!"
The city fell into silence for a moment, as both sides waited for the final decision of the cousins.
