When the first cannonball landed on the wall of Shengjing City, Liu Guangwen and everyone else felt as if the strong city beneath their feet was shaking.
He reached out and gently dusted off the dust on his shoulders, while everyone around him was so scared that he lay down and shivered.
Not only was Liu Guangwen not afraid at all, but he showed an interesting look. He got up and left his chair, and came to the wall to see what the cannon that was firing shells looked like.
A crack appeared on the wall. Liu Guangwen saw the dark gun barrels clearly and grinned.
Presumably this was what Qian Guo relied on to unify the world.
Such an army! Such weapons! Who among all the countries in the world can resist?
Who dares to stop it?
Watching a cannonball flying towards him, Liu Guangwen closed his eyes without fear.
With a loud bang, this shell exploded the emperor of Qi into pieces of flesh and blood on the ground! .??.??
Liu Guangwen is dead!
The commotion on the wall became even greater. Civil and military ministers began to flee in all directions. Some people who were stunned by the bomb stretched out their heads and shouted with all their strength, I surrender! Stop fighting!
Then they went to hell with their old emperor.
It is said that once the emperor and his ministers fought to the death, but since the battle started, not a single Qi army rushed out of the city gate to fight to the death with Qian's army.
Ling Shuang, the commander of Qi's imperial army, after killing several fleeing ministers with his sword, he laughed bitterly and committed suicide with his sword.
After his death, the Imperial City's imperial guards, who were already in chaos, began to flee. After all, not everyone was as loyal as him.
The soldier in charge of firing covered his forehead with his hand and squinted to see clearly the chaos on the top of Shengjing City. He hurried forward and said, "General, seeing the chaos on top of the city, the Qi army defenders panicked and fled. Can we stop bombarding and break the gate?"
Zhao Kang folded his sleeves and said lightly, "The enemy did not surrender and continued to fire.
Give me a road that the carriage can pass through."
"As you command!"
Listening to the continuous sound of artillery fire, Zhao Kang looked indifferent. These artillery fires should be given to Liu Guangwen, the emperor of Qi who personally defended the city, as a farewell gift.
Although I have never met the other party, I only heard rumors that the other party is a fatuous person.
But at this time, Zhao Kang neither surrendered nor ran away. Zhao Kang still admired the opponent's integrity.
For three hours, a 100-meter-wide hole was blasted out of the outer wall of Shengjing City, the capital of the Qi Kingdom.
The barrels of Zhao Kang's thirty artillery pieces turned red as if they were being fired directly.
Looking through the dust on the ground, he couldn't see any living people at all, only a pile of corpses.
"Is the commander entering the city?"
Zhao Kang rolled his eyes, "We'll just squeeze in tens of thousands of people, and the common people can knock us to death with hoes and poles! Wait until they choose someone in charge to surrender."
After saying this, Zhao Kang stopped talking. When the other party elected a surrender representative, the Shengjing City was completely defeated.
At that time, the Qi State in the world will be declared defeated, and Li Long and the others will basically not have to fight anymore.
The people in Shengjing City did not let Zhao Kang wait for too long. Soon he saw a group of gray-faced officials, wearing Qi official uniforms, escorted by the imperial army, cautiously coming to the blasted city wall.
Before they even walked in, they shouted at the top of their lungs, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting, we surrender, we surrender!"
Zhao Kang asked the soldiers in the car to come forward and came to the group of officials responsible for surrender without any scruples.
He glanced around, but Zhou Yue was not there.
very good!
He looked at the official who spoke earlier and said, "Send your name and official position."
The other party seemed to be an official in his early forties, wearing blue silk. When Zhao Kang said this, he knelt down quickly, "General, please forgive me. I am Xia Yun Changqing. I was formerly the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of the State of Qi."
Zhao Kang clicked his tongue and said with a smile, "I'm just a right servant. Now can you surrender on behalf of Qi State? Which prime minister, minister, etc. of Qi State are you?"
An official trembled, and then said cautiously, "Everyone was killed by the bombing of you generals. Is Zhou Yue also dead?"
"He died, he died miserably! I watched him split open!"
Zhao Kang was a little sad when he heard that, Brother Zhou, you are really dying in such a miserable state!
Don't worry, I will take care of your wife and children.
"Yun Changqing, right?"
After a brief moment of silence for Zhou Yue, Zhao Kang asked.
Yun Changqing quickly responded, "It's a small one."
"I'll give you half an hour to write a document for Qi's surrender. It won't be too difficult for you, right?"
"No way! I got a top grade in the article I wrote in the imperial examination back then! It doesn't take half an hour or two quarters of an hour to do it!"
In order to survive, Zhao Kang, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, was so enthusiastic that he asked someone to find pen and ink for him, and he wrote an eloquent article in only half an hour.
Zhao Kang couldn't help but be shocked after taking a look at it. What was written in the article was that the tyranny of the Qi State made the people miserable, and now the Qian State was ordered by heaven to descend with divine soldiers to save the people of the Qi State from the burning water.
Zhao Kang was amazed when he saw this. This scholar's ability to confuse right and wrong is really incredible!
"General...are you satisfied, general? If you are not satisfied, you can rewrite it!" Yun Changqing said cautiously.
Zhao Kang nodded, "No.
Wrong, it’s much better than what I wrote! Someone, take it down and let the army chief copy it and distribute it to all the armies to inform the world!”
The soldiers quickly stepped forward to take the surrender letter.
Looking at Yun Changqing and other officials, Zhao Kang said calmly, "I don't want any turmoil to happen in Shengjing City next. Do you understand?"
"Ming! I understand! Commander, don't worry, we will fully cooperate!"
A group of officials quickly knelt down to show their loyalty.
"Enter the city!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhao Kang, led by Yun Changqing and others, stepped into the Shengjing City Bell, announcing that Qi, which had been a state for hundreds of years, would cease to exist from today on.
The city of Shengjing was in chaos, with some doors tightly closed and some looking around blankly.
There were even more sumptuously dressed people gathered together in groups with countless gold and silver treasures piled behind them, ready to show their determination to surrender to the Qian army.
Looking at the blank-eyed people, Zhao Kang ignored them and just issued another order to warn his subordinates not to act recklessly.
More than two hours passed, and the people in Shengjing finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Qianjun did not rob or kill.
Zhao Kang's troops were stationed in the outer city. In the evening, the soldiers came to report.
"Commander, there is someone outside asking to see you."
"who?"
"The other party calls himself Chen Jianghe."
Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him in."
"National Division!"
Chen Jianghe took off his disguise and walked in happily. He was also a little excited. He didn't expect Zhao Kang to break into Shengjing City so quickly.
"How is the situation? Everything is fine, just as I said in the previous letter..."
