General Aruk Go of Gu Yuan looked at the north city wall for a while, retracted his gaze and looked at Luo Xing, and said with a respectful tone: "General, order the fire!"

Some time ago, Luo Xing showed strong strategies and tactics, spreading the left and right wings, closing and surrounding, attacking front and back, and seizing troops to chase and kill, but he did not let a single Zhao army go away, and convinced Aruk Goxin, willing to be Luo Xing's deputy general, and willing to obey his orders.

"No hurry!" Luo Xing said calmly, his eyes never moved away from the northern city wall, and there was also a look of contemplation between his eyebrows. He didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was thinking about the way to win.

After hearing the reply, Aruk Go no longer continued to speak and listened to Luo Xing's arrangements wholeheartedly.

"Ai Qun!" Luo Xing called out softly.

Ai Qun, the seventh-grade Pingdong general who stood behind him on a war horse, immediately responded: "The last general is here!"

"You go ahead in person and let the county magistrate of Beichang County come out to speak and let him surrender!" Luo Xing ordered with his back to Ai Qun.

"Abide by the order!" Ai Qun raised his hand to salute, then rushed out of the queue on his war horse, passed through the artillery position that was waiting for the battle, and came to the edge of the moat, turned his horse's head, and shouted loudly towards the north city wall: "I am Ai Qun, the seventh-rank Pingdong General of the Great Qin Dynasty. I am ordered by the general of the Zhenjun. I ask the county magistrate of Beichang County to come out to meet. I have important matters to discuss with the county magistrate!"

On the north wall tower, two thousand garrison officers and soldiers were trembling. There were only five thousand permanent officers and soldiers in the city, two thousand north city towers, and one thousand each of the other three major towers in the east, south and west. This is the full combat power of Beichang County. Compared with the Qin army, it is a drop in the bucket.

On the city gate, an old man with frosted temples stood on the edge of the protective wall. He was wearing a silver robe-shaped official uniform and a formal black official hat. He was the seventh-rank magistrate of Beichang County. He was sixty-three years old this year and was already in his sixties.

"I am Kong Shuzheng, the governor of Beichang County. What do you have to say to me?" Kong Shuzheng's face was as calm as water, and his tone was not at all turbulent, as if he regarded the 300,000 Qin troops under the city as nothing, and had no intention of speaking.

It made him incompatible with the county magistrates and the regular soldiers beside him, just like people from two worlds.

The moat was only 300 steps away from the city tower, and Kong Shuzheng's voice was not loud, but Ai Qun could hear it. After Ai Qun heard it, he immediately looked for the sound. When he saw Kong Shuzheng looking at him with a calm face, he couldn't help but raise his hand with respect and saluted: "Ai Qun, see Mr. Kong!"

Kong Shuzheng was a very respected old man in the Great Zhao Dynasty. He had thousands of disciples and was spread all over the country. He could be said to be full of students. Of course, few of his disciples were high-ranking officials, all of them were small officials, but they were also very powerful and were popular everywhere.

However, it is not only because of this, but because of Kong Shuzheng's kindness and the salary paid by the court, he only left his family's money for food, and the rest of the money was given to beggars on the street or poor people who could not afford to eat.

He also often encourages officers and soldiers to help the people farm, and even goes to the fields to help themselves, showing the eight words of loving the people as their children and sacrificing themselves for others.

As the saying goes: Virtue does not match position!

But he, Kong Shu, is not worthy of virtue.

Because Kong Shuzheng loved the people as his son, sacrificed himself for others and did his own things, he was supported by the people all over the country, especially the people of Beichang County. No one would say that Kong Shuzheng was not good, and they all said that Kong Shuzheng was a great official given to Da Zhao by God.

It is not unreasonable for Ai Qun to respect him. One of the reasons why Luo Xing sent Ai Qun to persuade Kong Shuzheng to surrender was that Kong Shuzheng had a high reputation. If he surrendered to Qin, he would not waste much effort to capture the entire Beichang County. There was no need to drag artillery to bombard this and that, as it would be too wasteful.

Another reason for persuading surrender is that if Kong Shuzheng could serve the Qin Dynasty, it would definitely be a good thing for the Qin people. After all, everyone hopes that their parents are good officials.

"General is polite!" Kong Shuzheng replied with a blank expression.

Seeing that Kong Shuzheng was very kind, Ai Qun had confidence in this persuasion of surrender, and immediately shouted: "Mr. Kong, you are kind and kind, and you are famous for loving the people as your son and sacrificing yourself as others. Now you have also seen that my 300,000 tiger and wolf army is standing under the city, and it is easy to break the city!"

"But I, the Great Qin, am grateful that God has a virtuous virtue and cannot bear to massacre innocent people. I hope Mr. Kong will understand the overall situation and open the city gate to surrender. Our Qin army will never disturb the people and will never deceive the people. Treat Zhao people equally like Qin people. In addition, our Qin army will be responsible for all the hungry people in the city and will never let the people go hungry!"

Kong Shuzheng's lips pursed slightly, revealing a hint of sneer, "As the governor of Beichang County, he has the responsibility to protect the county territory. If I surrender, wouldn't I become a joke among the people of the world!"

After saying that, Kong Shuzheng turned his head and looked at the officials beside him and the officers and soldiers on the city tower, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of Da Zhao, are you willing to surrender!"

"Don't surrender! I'll never surrender!"

The officials and soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly. Although they were afraid of the Qin army under the city, they had no intention of surrendering.

In order to resist Qin, the officials who took the pen every day pulled out the sword on their waists for the first time!

The people of Zhao will never surrender!

Hearing the intention of not surrendering from the city tower made Ai Qun stunned, and he didn't expect that this would be the ending.

Ai Qun pointed at the ugly cow-style cannon behind him, and looked at Kong Shuzheng and shouted: "Mr. Kong knows this thing. This thing is called cannon. It is powerful and can turn the northern city wall into a ruin of hell in an instant. Mr. Kong must think it clearly!"

Ai Qun did not give up and wanted to use the power of the cannon to intimidate Kong Shuzheng.

"So it's called a cannon!" Kong Shuzheng showed a sudden enlightenment and finally understood what the so-called thunder equipment was called.

Seeing Kong Shuzheng showing a sudden enlightenment, Ai Qun was stunned again and thought, isn’t Kong Shuzheng afraid of artillery? Shouldn’t he show a fear? Why do he show a sudden enlightenment?

Several question marks were stuck in Ai Qun's mind, which made Ai Qun a little confused.

Since he didn't have time to think about it, he realized that the persuasion was fruitless, and immediately rode his war horse back. He quickly returned to Luo Xing, sat on the horse's back and bowed to Luo Xing and replied: "General, Kong Shuzheng will not surrender. Let's see his posture, he will fight to the end with us!"

Luo Xing sighed softly and said with regret: "I have seen it all. Since that's the case, then fire the fire!"

If Kong Shuzheng does not surrender, he can only attack. It’s impossible to stop attacking Beichang City just because of Kong Shuzheng.
