Qin Official

Half a moment later, outside Linyang City, in front of the waiting Chu army, they looked at the twenty or thirty bloody heads in the basket, and then looked at Ji Ying, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a groveling look. , Dou Ran showed a contemptuous smile.

"It seems that all the bloody Qin people are here."

The implication is that the rest are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

To be honest, a similar scene happened when Qinqiu was summoned to surrender. Some Qin people felt that if they surrendered to Chu, their relatives would be imprisoned, so they resisted. Liao Ping couldn't suppress it, so he released Sun Feng from his palace and mobilized the Chu people in the city to help, so he killed the hundreds of Qin people who were unwilling to surrender.

After seeing this, Dou Ran no longer doubted the sincerity of the city's surrender.

"When will you leave the city and return?"

Ji Ying bowed his head and said: "Master Cheng Wubai said that he would first lead people to put out the fire that was burning in the city, and when the sun rose three o'clock, he would let everyone leave the city according to what Chief Zhongtun had discussed when he left the city."

"good."

Dou Ran stood in the military chariot and nodded, while Sun Feng in the other chariot asked Ji Ying with concern: "How much food is left in the city?"

"There are still hundreds of stones, all sealed in the warehouse, waiting for the general's acceptance."

Ji Ying showed a flattering smile. He didn't have to pretend to be humble. Before he went to Huyang Pavilion to work as a mailman, he was a humble commoner. When meeting noble people, he would naturally be trembling with fear.

But now, for some reason, he just wanted to see how these Chu nobles would kneel down and beg for mercy after being defeated by Hei Fu.

"My lord, I also want to take a ride in your beautiful car."

Thinking of this, he quickly lowered his head, fearing that his eyes would reveal his true intentions.

"Hundreds of stones of grain are enough for us for ten days."

Sun Feng stroked his beard and tapped his fingers on the car rail. He was a lord who knew how to live a good life. Seeing that the war was about to end, he began to make plans. It stands to reason that the food rations for the two thousand soldiers and prisoners must be provided by Qiuqiu. Seeing the carts of food being transported out of his warehouse, he was not worried about the pain, but now he could save several hundred dan. Good thing.

At this moment, the two generals of the Chu army were most concerned about fighting no longer. One was thinking about putting on a majestic posture and accepting surrender later to show his nobility, while the other was thinking about saving food. Stop loss.

The generals were like this, and the ordinary soldiers were even more lax. In these days, relying on Xiang Yan's command and Chen Ying's rebellion, the Qin army was stunned and suffered defeats. However, the Chu people went smoothly and underestimated the Qin people.

Now I heard that Linyang was about to surrender and everyone did not have to fight, so they were all happy. Although they barely formed a formation, the soldiers were all crooked and the formation was not neat. There were constant whispers, some talking about the timidity of the Qin people in the city, and some talking about Linyang's local specialty "Current Fish".

"When the surrender is over, I must go to the stream to catch a few to taste, and then in front of the Qin people, let them see us eating meat, but I have to be hungry." Someone joked with a playful smile.

Ji Ying and the ten men he brought out just passed by the Chu army who was slacking on the enemy. They did not need to go back, but were escorted to the rear line to pass along with the captured Qin soldiers along the way.

The prisoners of war of the Qin army were placed in a large pit, which the Chu army probably forced them to dig in the morning. The pit is several feet deep and more than a hundred steps square. In this small place, there are three hundred Qin army prisoners of war who are densely packed with dejected expressions.

Hundreds of Chu soldiers stood guard around the pit with strong shields, sharp spears, bows and arrows, but their attitude was very relaxed. Ji Ying and the others just took a brief look at them, and when they saw that they were not carrying any weapons, they pushed them in.

When the prisoners of war of the Qin army saw new comrades being escorted in, they had no reaction. After their defeat, they evacuated dizzy. They were tired and hungry, and the Chu people did not give them food. They were detained here at this moment. Although they had the intention to resist, But there is no strength.

"Heifu is right. If he is captured by the Chu people, he will most likely be taken to the Chu country to be a slave in the fields and mines."

Ji Ying looked at this situation and felt confident, while his eyes searched everywhere for the person Hei Fu asked him to find.

He soon discovered his target. Zhou Hua and a dozen people were tied to the other end of the pit. There were several wooden stakes erected three steps away from the pit. These people were all Qin officials wearing short crowns. , they already had some whip marks on their bodies, and they had been deliberately watered. In the weather of early November, they were shivering from the cold.

The Qin prisoners of war looked at them with anger, sympathy but helplessness.

Ji Ying winked at his companions who came together, and they dispersed to various locations without attracting Chu people's attention.

Ji Ying, with three men, squeezed through the Qin soldiers blocking the way in front of him, and found his way to the bottom of the wooden pile. When the Chu soldiers were not paying attention, he picked up a small stone and flicked it towards Zhou Hua's position!

The stone hit the wooden stake and made a slight sound. Zhou Hua raised his head and saw Ji Ying winking at him in the crowd.

Ji Ying often accompanied Hei Fu to escort Li You to the camp, so he knew Zhou Hua, and the two had a few conversations, so Zhou Hua still had some impression of him.

After seeing Ji Ying, Zhou Hua's dry and cracked lips revealed a smile.

"Is it finally here?"

The black man pretended to be "Zhong", and when he was trying to persuade him to surrender, he said something that only the Qin military officials could understand. Now it seems that he really had a trick up his sleeve.

Ji Ying could only see Zhou Hua's lips moving slightly. He could not speak. He just nodded. Then he took out the hidden knife from his bun and held it in his hand!

Heifu's "surprise force" is already in place.

Ji Ying gritted his teeth and his hands trembled as he pinched the copper, but his heart was extremely excited. He firmly remembered the signals Heifu gave him, which were also military terms that every Qin military officer knew by heart.

"If the drum is heavy, hit it!"

…

"My lord, the Qin people went to the city to throw armor."

Seeing that the sun was approaching three o'clock in the morning, Dou Ran was okay, but Sun Feng was already yawning. At this time, someone finally came to report that the Qin army began to throw armor and weapons on the city in accordance with the agreed surrender procedure.

Sun Feng quickly rubbed his eyes and looked around, only to see a Qin soldier with a bulging head on the east wall of Linyang. They came to the wall one by one, took off their armor, and threw it down from the top of the city.

Also falling together were weapons, including swords, bows and arrows, and spears. They were originally the most trustworthy robes of warriors, but now they were abandoned like rags.

"I don't know what it's like to go to bed, but I like to see the people of Qin abandoning their armor the most."

Dou Ran took a sip of wine and laughed heartily. He enjoyed the victory very much. The happiest thing in the world was to watch his former powerful enemy surrender to him in despair.

Sun Fengze smiled and said: "I would rather see these Qin people surrender their troops and become my subordinates in the city, and work for me to make up for the losses they caused to Qiu Qiu in this battle."

Like the two generals, the Chu people in the formation also burst into laughter, and the formation became even more chaotic.

Then, the Linyang city gate also opened, and the Qin soldiers who had abandoned their armor and abandoned their troops slowly walked out. They all lowered their heads and clenched their fists, as if they were suppressing something. Shame? Still unwilling?

Because the terrain of Linyang is several feet higher, from the perspective of Dou Ran and Sun Feng, the Qin people in the front row were indeed as agreed upon, wearing only thin clothes, leaving the city empty-handed, and even some were barefoot. , but the situation in the back row is unclear.

However, as the Qin people slowly walked out, Dou Ran noticed something was wrong.

These Qin people walked too neatly! They stood very close together, and their steps kept moving according to a fixed rhythm, and the steps got bigger and bigger. It didn't look like a haphazard surrender, but...

The prelude before the charge!

The next moment, at the top of Linyang City, a dark figure waved his arms and began to beat the drum. The noisy light drum sounded. The hundreds of Qin people in the front row changed from walking to trotting, and even showed the dagger hidden in their sleeves!

As these people rushed down the hill, the situation behind them was also revealed. Three to four hundred Qin people poured out from the city gate, wearing dark armor and holding spears. They were quickly forming a team. Looking from a distance , like a forest of gold and iron swaying in the wind.

This is different from what was promised!

"The Qin army is pretending to surrender!"

Because Hei Fu's acting was so similar, and Ji Ying was sent to sacrifice his head, Dou Ran and Sun Feng dispelled their last suspicion, so they didn't think about it at all. At this moment, things suddenly changed, and all he could think about was saving food. Sun Feng, who had taken over the field slaves, was so shocked that he lost his mind.

Dou Ran was calmer and ordered loudly:

"Send the order, beat the drums, line up, line up!"

The generals were all in such a panic, and the ordinary soldiers were even more caught off guard. Those Chu soldiers who were sitting lazily on the ground, chatting with each other to pass the time, suddenly heard the drumbeats, and were stunned for a long time. Then they stood up hurriedly, straightened their armors, gripped their spears, But he didn't know what was happening ahead.

What about the promised surrender? Why are there so many drums and it sounds like a war?

The Chu army officers ran past quickly, urging the loose Chu soldiers to stand closer together. Unexpectedly, a horse fell to the ground. He didn't care about the broken tooth that was knocked off by the stone. He quickly got up and continued running back. , shouted loudly:

"Form up, form up! The enemy is coming!"

"Where are the enemy troops?" Some people still didn't respond.

But it was too late. Just as the Chu people re-arranged their formation, the sound of drums on the top of Linyang City changed in vain, from light drums to heavy drums!

Each heavy drum beat seemed to hit the hearts of Dou Ran, Sun Feng and Chu Ren, shattering their delusions of surrendering easily.

Each heavy drum beat was like a hammer, breaking the shackles that had restrained the Qin soldiers for a long time. The Qin people, who were naked and naked and only holding a short sword, raised their heads and let out suppressed sighs for a long time. The mountain shouts!

"Do you mean you have no clothes?"

"Be in the same robe as your son!"

At this moment, it was no longer just the desire to go home, more than the desire to survive, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time since Xiang Cheng's defeat exploded at this moment.

The huge roar covered up the Chu army's war drums, making Dou Ran's horse and uniform horse restless, and causing chaos in the formation that the Chu people had finally rearranged. The Chu people opened their mouths and were stunned. Are they still the Qin people who fled in embarrassment all the way and kept surrendering and being captured?

Regardless of their own lack of armor, regardless of their formation, and regardless of life and death, they ran forward, aiming directly at the Chu formation!

The scattered arrows shot hastily by the Chu people's archers could not stop these red-eyed ferocious beasts. Even if someone was hit by an arrow and bleeding profusely, they turned a blind eye and still ran towards the Chu people with their faces ferocious and eager. Devouring people!

"The men of Shandong were covered with armor, while the people of Qin donated their armor and coats to chase the enemy, grabbing heads on the left and prisoners on the right..."

Dou Ran's face turned pale. He remembered his father's description of the Qin army on the battlefield. Did he think they couldn't fight without their armor? I am so naive. He began to know what kind of opponent he was facing...

They are tigers, they are wolves!

They are a nightmare that frightens the armies of the Six Nations!

They are the dark shadows that have shrouded the Shandong nobles for hundreds of years!

They are the real Qin army!

The next moment, Dou Ran watched helplessly as these wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers of the Qin army howled and rushed into the Chu formation!
