Chapter 254: Forgiveness
"boom……"
The Xiongnu ministers and their families were preparing to flee on horseback, but their way was blocked by a city full of cattle and sheep and people preparing to flee.
Just as they were running around in a hurry, a deafening sound came.
Suddenly the earth shook and the mountains shook, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky!
"What's wrong? It's not like the Qin army won't arrive until noon at the earliest. Why is there an explosion at dawn?"
The ministers who were blocked on the road were in a panic, riding back and forth on their horses, their faces pale and without a trace of blood.
"Qin Army? The Qin Army is coming? Everyone, run away!"
"Cattle and sheep...my cows and sheep!"
"The Qin army has already arrived at the royal city. Why do you care about cattle and sheep? Hurry up and escape...!"
Suddenly, someone in the noisy crowd shouted, making the people even more panicked. They couldn't even take care of the cattle and sheep, and ran around like headless flies.
Those cattle and sheep could not find their owners and were frightened by the sound of artillery. Like the common people, they ran around and blocked the already impassable roads even more!
"Boom...boom..."
The artillery fired one after another, and the originally impregnable city wall was blown to pieces like tofu.
Even so, no one dared to run out from the gap, for fear that they would be blown into the sky the next moment, so everyone unconsciously fled in the direction where there were no artillery!
"The artillery is really powerful!"
Yu Ji, who had never been on the battlefield, was traveling with the army. When she saw this scene, her eyes widened.
She had been waiting for the young lady in the camp before, but last night she finally got her to agree to go with her to gain more knowledge!
Ying Feiyu ordered to attack the royal city early this morning, so they set off from the garrison at midnight, and the sound of artillery started as soon as it got dark.
According to the previous plan, bombardment was carried out from three sides, southeast and north, and an ambush was set up in the west, just waiting for these Huns to run towards the west!
"boom……"
After the city wall was broken, Ying Feiyu ordered to move forward, and the cannonballs drew an arc in the air and flew into the royal city!
In an instant, the miserable cries of cattle and sheep rang out in the city, and then all the ministers and people fled towards the west gate, where there was no artillery attack.
Those ministers rode fast horses, and they didn't care about the common people. They beat anyone they saw and rode their horses over anyone who stood in the way!
We have reached a critical moment of life and death. If we don't rush out, we will be blown to death.
Even if you escape the explosion, you will be killed by the Qin army who comes over!
In order to survive, the ministers did not even care about their families and rushed to the west gate on fast horses.
"Bang...bang..."
But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they rushed out of the west gate, what was waiting for them was not freedom, but a large wave of landmines buried underground.
As soon as the front hooves of the war horse stepped on it, it was immediately blown away, and the ministers on it were blown to pieces.
There were artillery bombardments on three sides, and the only west side that the Xiongnu ministers regarded as an opening was actually an ambush. If you step on it, you will be blown to pieces.
Seeing this situation, the people stopped and did not dare to take another step forward!
"Kill me...!"
The artillery shelling was almost complete, and Wang Ben was the first to lead his troops and rush in.
The officials and people in the city have been frightened into panic. The only purpose of rushing in is to collect their heads. It is not difficult at all!
"Don't kill me, I surrender!"
"Yes, yes, I surrender too!"
"I am willing to take you into the king's tent, as long as you don't kill me!"
"And I am also willing to take you into the king's tent. Da Shanyu Maodun is in the king's tent. If you catch him, you will win, as long as you don't kill me...!"
The Qin army led troops to attack the city, and after just two rounds of killings, many people surrendered. Among them were many Xiongnu officials who asked themselves to lead the Qin army into the king's tent.
"Haha, where has the energy to invade our Daqin border gone? Now I think of begging for mercy!"
Wang Ben, wearing armor, stood on his horse and glanced disdainfully at the Huns kneeling on the ground.
"No, no, no, we have never left the royal city. I have no part in invading the border. I hope the general will find out!"
Several Huns knelt on the ground, kowtowing constantly, just hoping to survive.
"You bitch, let's go!"
Fan Kuai kicked the Huns and knocked him to the ground.
The Xiongnu officials did not dare to complain, so they quickly got up, not even caring about the dirt on their bodies, and rolled and crawled to lead the way!
With the previous experiences, the soldiers have become more and more tacit about the cooperation of artillery and mines, and there is no need for Ying Feiyu to go into battle personally.
After everything is arranged, Shota just needs to wait comfortably in the carriage. Every once in a while, the generals will report back on the progress of the war!
"How about we play two games?"
Listening to the fighting in the city, Xiao Zhengtai tossed and turned and felt very bored. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
On the way from Yunyang to Xianyang, the poker he had played with Ying Zheng was still in his backpack. He turned around and found it, just to relieve his boredom on the way.
"Dirty..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Wan's slap suddenly flew towards his cheek.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, there would have been an extra five-fingerprint on his fair cheek!
"Hey! I just said to play a few games, what are you doing?"
Little Shota looked confused.
I’ve never heard that playing poker is considered obscene!
Besides, this girl probably doesn’t even know what playing cards are, so how can she be considered obscene?
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you men mean by playing!"
Wang Wan seemed to think of something bad, her cheeks turned slightly red, she lowered her head and continued to record the battle report just reported by the soldiers, and occasionally glared at the young shota.
Even Yu Ji, who has always been docile and well-behaved, looks bad!
Seeing the two girls suddenly changing their expressions, Xiao Zhengtai was stunned for two seconds, and then something clicked in his mind, and he suddenly understood!
In this era, entertainment items were very scarce, and free women could only play chess, calligraphy and painting, and support their husbands and children.
And if a man has free time, the place he can go is a brothel!
If a man wants to play, he must be looking for a girl in a brothel!
Not only did he say he wanted to play, but he also played two games.
That means we need to find two girls!
At this time, Wang Wan and Yu Ji happened to be in the car, and they naturally thought that this guy wanted to sleep with them.
Yu Ji originally belonged to Xiao Zhengtai, so she didn't say anything except that her face looked a little weird!
In this era, men are respected, let alone playing two games, even if they play three games, they can't say anything!
But Wang Wan is different. She comes from a Marquis Palace, and if she is treated with such obscene words, she will definitely not do it!
