Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 446 The Essence of War

The Qin army invaded Shanzhi City very quickly. After breaking through the city gate, they quickly retreated towards the city wall. Under the powerful offensive of the Tiger Guard Forbidden Army, the Zhao army on the wall could not hold on for too long and was captured. After pushing down the city wall, wisps of remaining soldiers dispersed toward the inner city, and then the dragon-riding imperial army quickly charged into the city.

But when the so-called country warriors who had gathered in the city were dispersed by the Qin army's offensive, the hot blood from their companions extinguished the blood that was burning in their hearts because of simplicity and ignorance. .

They fled one by one, fled back to their homes, and fled back to a place they thought was safe. As for the weapons they had prepared themselves or received from the arsenal, they were even more tightly hidden. He was afraid that the Qin army would find him and be killed as a resister.

As more and more soldiers of the Qin Army poured into the city, the streets were continuously occupied by the Qin Army. On both sides of the streets were more tightly closed doors. Some people were looking through the windows, and some were looking carefully through the cracks in the doors. Observing the Qin army who were clearing the streets.

Some of the resisters were killed mercilessly by the Qin army, and the bright and ordinary blood dyed the ground red. At this time, no one admired their heroism because their death was too easy.

Some cowardly people knelt down and surrendered out of fear, lying on the ground with their hands holding weapons raised high. At this time, no one despised their cowardice, because such people who were hiding in their homes and shivering just wanted to What qualifications do people who are still alive have to laugh at others? At least those people had the courage to take up arms, although the time they took up arms was really too short.

The Qin army seemed very calm in the face of all this. No one could see their expressions under the cold masks. They could only see them efficiently and quickly clearing everything that blocked their progress, whether they were living or dead. The people, the weapons that were chopped off, and the corpses that were dragged away all turned Shanzhi City into a nightmare that people didn't even dare to encounter in their dreams.

What exactly will they do? What direction will this war take? Countless pairs of eyes looked at Qin Jun on the street through the hidden gaps, and there was hope in his heart.

Everyone knows the brutality of the Qin Army, but there is no bottom line for the Qin Army's brutality. Although the Qin Army has a bad record of killing prisoners, it seems that it has not massacred the city yet, but where is the bottom line of the Qin Army? No one dares to gamble. After all, the cost of losing is too high.

Under the horrified eyes of both pairs, the Qin army advanced in an orderly manner, with fewer and fewer people resisting, but in the face of constant deaths, the so-called courage can only persist for a limited time.

Under the attack of the Qin army, Shanzhi City, which was not a small city, became smaller. After the granary and arsenal of the governor's mansion were successively captured, the entire city was almost controlled by the Qin army. At this time, time It was only dusk, and not even half a day had passed from the time the Qin army launched the attack to the time when the Qin army took control of the entire city.

On the city wall, the fighting has gone far away, and the bloody smell has also dissipated a lot in the autumn wind. Only the mess of blood stains and broken limbs has not dissipated. Nong Yu, who is below the city, looks pale at the scene in front of him. With her last stubbornness, the war was completely and truly presented to her for the first time. There was no so-called romance at all, only the horror of hell on earth. Although she had not been there in person, it floated into her nose along with her breath. The aura has already put her off.

"This is war." Nongyu muttered to himself and looked at the top of the city wall, which has become the center of the Qin army. The tall city walls and towers allow the people there to take in most of the city. It is The best place to set up camp for the Chinese army.

As time went by, dusk was replaced by night, and the Qin army also stopped its offensive and blocked the streets one by one, with soldiers stationed in various places.

"Lord Guardsman, you are good at governing the city. Seven streets and thirty-eight streets have been captured. Only the county governor's office has not yet been captured. Do you want to capture the county governor's office at night?" On the city wall, there were several dragon and tiger guards. The captain reported his battle situation to Yang Ming.

"Don't be anxious. Give them a chance to surrender. The soldiers have been fighting for half a day. It's time to take a rest. Let's go down and give each person three taels of wine and half a catty of meat. There is no need to keep it. Tomorrow, we will get it. More wine, meat, and other things." Yang Ming said.

Now that the city has been captured, it is natural to reward the three armies. Although Yang Ming will not go on a mass killing spree, war is war. Even Yang Ming must follow the laws of war. Not massacres do not mean that Yang Ming will not plunder resources. It's just that the methods will be different.

As losers, these dignitaries in Yanmen County must pay some price, otherwise the Qin army would have come in vain. The defeated must have the consciousness of the defeated.

"No." Following Yang Ming's order, the Qin troops all over the city began to gather at several important places. In this newly occupied city, especially at night, it is extremely dangerous to be alone. .

"Is the war over?" Nong Yu, who knew that Yang Ming had almost settled the matter, came under the moonlight. Although there was still a faint smell of blood on the city wall, it seemed to have returned to its original state, except for some There seems to be something left in the hidden corner.

"It's just the beginning." Yang Ming pointed to a couch next to him.

"Hasn't the city already been captured?" Nong Yu sat down next to Yang Ming and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"What does Nongyu think war is?" Yang Ming did not answer Nongyu's question directly, but asked another question amidst Nongyu's confusion.

"What is war? Isn't war about killing the enemy and occupying everything that belongs to the enemy?" Nongyu thought for a moment, but could only think of this answer.

"It's just that since my brother-in-law asked me this, the answer is definitely not that simple." Nong Yu added.

"The war you are talking about is just the appearance of war, not the essence of war. The essence of war is to destroy the existing order and then establish another order." Yang Ming explained.

"The current city is only occupied. The existing order has only stopped functioning because of the war and has not been destroyed. If the war ends here, this city will just change its flag and it will still be the original city. Nothing will change."

"Next, we have to completely end the order here, establish an order belonging to the Qin State, and let this order truly dominate this place. Only in this way can the war be considered over."

It is very easy to decide the outcome on the battlefield, but that is just the beginning. In this war between the Qin State and the Six Kingdoms, although the Qin State achieved victory on the battlefield, in a war on another level, how could Failure to win is still a matter of two things, especially when Qin still suffered a complete defeat in the original time and space.

"Establishing a new order? Is this the purpose of war?" Nongyu muttered to himself, seeming to understand something in a daze.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Do you have any novel feelings when you follow the army here?" Yang Ming changed the topic and said. There is wind and moon at this time. Of course, it is better to talk about wind and moon.

"Does gold and iron count?" Nong Yu suddenly showed a naughty look as she muttered to herself.

"Forget it, of course." Yang Ming cooperated.

"What can I say? Along the way, it seems that because I have changed my perspective, I have seen many different things, and I have also seen another layer of color in the same things." Nong Yu stated to himself while thinking. What you think about.

"Tell me about it," Yang Ming said.

"In the past, I only thought that Zilanxuan was the whole world. After I came out this time, I discovered that the world is so big, so big that it exceeded my imagination. Even my mind has become broader. I once thought it was very big. It's an important and extraordinary thing, but now it seems like that's all it is." Nongyu said. She is proficient in music and can practice it to the level of communicating with nature. She is a woman who is good at thinking and easy to empathize. Now she has come out In the end, you will naturally see much more things than ordinary people.

Because ordinary people see the world with their eyes, but Nongyu sees the world not only with his eyes, but also with his heart. Speaking of which, if this continues, his family will be able to gather a performing troupe. After all, Yan Lingji can also dance, and she can dance pretty well.

This night is destined to be long, at least for the people in the county governor's mansion.

After all, Li Qi lost his best chance to surrender because of the so-called face. The Qin army's offensive was so fast that it didn't give him much time to react. In one night, Li Qi had almost no so-called struggle. , just waiting for dawn to surrender, but the method of surrender still needs to be chosen a little bit.

So, in the early morning sunshine, the closed door of the Sheriff's Mansion was opened.

Li Qi, the governor of Yanmen County who was determined to fight to the death, but there was a traitor under his command, was tied behind his back by a group of traitors headed by Shi Meng and pushed out of the governor's mansion. While besieging the governor's mansion, the Qin State, who was only waiting for breakfast to launch an attack, Everyone showed a look of astonishment, followed by a hint of regret. It's a pity that if these people didn't surrender, they could still have tried to capture or kill the enemy's military attackers, but now they are No chance.

Li Qi, who was kidnapped and escorted to Yang Ming, looked at Yang Ming with a bitter look on his face. It was really embarrassing for people he once knew to meet again in this situation.

"Shi Meng is loyal at this time and is a good subordinate." Yang Ming looked at the rope on Li Qi and couldn't help but smile.

Li Qi has completely turned into Li Qi at this time. What does this mean?
