contend

Chapter 571
There are constantly routs fleeing back to Taiyuan, bringing unfavorable news to the south.

Zhou Yu left guard Zhou Xing at a loss.

This man was originally a barbarian with great courage. He worshiped Zhou Yu as his adoptive father, and he rose to the top and became a captain.

This is not surprising in the Qin army.

Of course, Yang Zheng also had the idea of ​​adopting a son, but considering that he is a monarch, the hidden dangers in the future are too great, so he gave up this idea.

Zhou Xing is good at fighting, but he is not good at dealing with the complicated situation in Taiyuan City.

Give the tyrants too many opportunities.

"Defeated, defeated! Zhou Dudu defeated Qinshui and was captured alive by the Wei army. Run away, everyone, the Wei people are coming, and they want to slaughter all the Qin people in Taiyuan!"

Below the city, a ragged army came straight to the city gate.

Zhou Xing was terrified.

Zhou Yu was his backer, and now that the backer has collapsed, his life will be difficult in the future.

And the look on his face was seen by the surrounding soldiers, and people were even more flustered.

If Zhou Yu died in battle, it could still boost morale, but being captured alive would have a great impact on morale.

"What are you panicking, open the city gate and let them in!" Zhou Xing ordered loudly.

One more person means more hope of defending the city.

"Do not open the city gate!" Just as the soldiers were about to open the city, Ma Long stood up.

Zhou Xing's yellow eyes looked at Ma Long coldly.

"These people are broken and not chaotic, and there are long things hidden under their clothes. They must be the Wei army who came to cheat and open the city gate." Ma Long is a partial general, and Zhou Xing is a school lieutenant. According to common sense, it should be Ma Long who guards the city.

But Ma Long was not Zhou Yu's direct descendant, and he was a surrendered general, not good at flattering him, so he was naturally marginalized.

When Wei Guan was in Taiyuan a few months ago, he was inseparable from him, talking about the art of war and the general trend of the world, and his excessive closeness made the generals in Taiyuan jealous.

Even Zhou Yu didn't like Ma Long.

"The governor ordered someone to stay behind, so you must disobey?" Zhou Xing said coldly.

The fear of colleagues surpasses the vigilance of enemies.

"If you can't defend Taiyuan, you can't defend Guanzhong. I hope Captain Zhou will put the overall situation first. The people in the city look suspicious, so don't let them enter the city." Ma Long clasped his hands.

A partial general surrendered to the school lieutenant, which had already given Zhou Xing enough face.

"Someone is the guard. This city must obey me. Open the city and let the brothers come in. If you dare to speak too much, you will definitely be executed." Zhou Xing already recognized that the first few people were familiar faces.

The city gate creaked open.

Like a woman slowly taking off her clothes.

"The Governor of Zhou defeated Qinshui and was captured alive by the Wei army. The Wei people want to slaughter all the Qin people in Taiyuan!" This group of people was also approaching the city gate.

The defenders on the city looked pale.

In the light of the calcium carbide fire, the light of the knife flashed, Zhou Xing felt a chill on his neck, and then he saw his headless body still standing.

Malone was standing with a knife in his hand, blood was still spurting from the neck of the corpse.

Everyone on the city wall was stunned, unable to believe what happened in front of them.

"This sword was given by Shang Shuling Wei Shijun. Anyone who is not good for the Great Qin can be killed. Now, listen to my order, close the city gates, and don't let one person and one horse enter the city!" The blood mist sprayed on Ma Long. , dotted with dots, making him look like a killing god.

Qin Jun doesn't eat anything else, he just eats this set.

Whoever is strong will be convinced.

Furthermore, Malone was a partial general, the de facto highest general in the city, so it was reasonable to kill a school lieutenant who disobeyed the military orders.

What's more, he still has Wei Guan's knife in his hand.

Wei Guan's sword was bestowed by King Qin, and the word "Yang" engraved on it already has the greatest persuasive power.

"Who dares to resist?" Malone's anger that had been suppressed for nearly ten years erupted instantly, turning into murderous aura, covering his whole body.

The cronies behind drew their swords and shouted angrily: "Who dares to resist orders!"

The stronger it is, the calmer the panicked defenders will be.

The city gate was opened halfway and closed again.

The defeated army crowded by the moat cursed.

Of course, there are real defeated troops, but more of them are pretended by Wei Jun.

"If you are really a general of the Great Qin Dynasty, you can go to Wubao to the east to rest!" Malone commanded.

"Don't listen to his lies, how can a fortress resist the Wei army? They want to kill us all! When the time comes, we will die first!"

"Kasong, Kaesong!" The crowd immediately clamored.

"Fire the arrow!" Malone said no nonsense.

Arrows rained down, killing several people on the spot, and others could only flee.

As the defeated army walked forward, the sound of war drums sounded from the south.

Wei Jun came all over the mountains and plains.

"Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!" The shouts shook the sky.

The entire city of Taiyuan was shocked.

The defenders in the city looked pale. When Zhou Yu sent troops, he never thought that he would be defeated, so he took away the elite and left behind the old and weak, as well as Ma Long and his two thousand troops.

In just half an hour, Malone's tribe had taken over the city.

Choose 3000 people from the old and the weak to help defend the city.

Ma Long stood on the south city with a knife in his hand, looking at the thousands of troops and horses below the city, with a calm face, "Taiyuan is a mighty city in the world, and it can be defended by a thousand loyal and brave men. Now there are five thousand people, so why not be afraid?" Wei Jun!"

The soldiers all knew Ma Long's reputation. Three thousand tired troops were able to defend Hefei New City in Huainan and resist Zhuge Ke's 20 Wu army.

Of course it is the same now.

Morale gradually recovered a lot.

Wei Jun immediately launched a fierce attack, and the sound of drums and shouts shook the sky.

But he still couldn't get on the tower.

When Wei Guan and Sun Yang stayed in Taiyuan, they managed this place as a fortress, accumulated a large amount of food and military equipment, and strengthened the city defense.

There are feather arrows, kerosene, Leimu, and rolling stones.

There is also a three-foot-long spear, controlled by two soldiers, which can directly stab the enemy under the city from the top of the city.

As long as people's hearts are not disturbed, Taiyuan will not fall.

Everything went smoothly as Malone expected.

The majestic city of Taiyuan is not something that can be broken by [-] to [-] Wei troops.

However, suddenly a black pillar shot up into the sky in the city.

There was a chorus of voices, "Kill! Kill all the Qin thieves! Return to Sima Gong!"

In a blink of an eye, the whole city boiled.

A young man wearing a sackcloth and holding a long dagger rushed to the street.

There are also several cavalry in the lead, carrying long spears and wearing iron armor.

It has not been half a year since Taiyuan City was recovered, and the people in the city were afraid of the might of the Qin army, so they had no choice but to surrender.

Now that the news of the Qin army's defeat came, the atmosphere in the city naturally became strange.

Since the pre-Qin period, Taiyuan has been the source of wealthy families, not only the top families such as the Wang family and the Guo family, but also the wealthy families of the Linghu family, Jia family, Hao family, Hu family, and Wen family.

Taiyuan surrendered instead of being breached. There are many hidden dangers in the city.

I didn't dare to move before, but now that the Qin army has been defeated and all the governors of the Qin State have been killed, why should I be afraid?

The powerful clans have long been connected with each other, and they were encouraged by Zhou Xing's early work.

Returning to the embrace of the Sima family, occupying the land at will, and enslaving the population at will, this is the era that the tyrants dream of!

Faced with the enemy, the defenders began to panic again.

Ma Long smiled grimly, his originally handsome face was slightly distorted, gloomy and cold, suddenly the eyes of Shisan swallowing earth and dying appeared in his mind.

Why did he die?
Because his land has become the manor of the tyrants!

Hatred is also inherited.

The days of working as a "green cow" in Xuchang Tuntian have always been a lingering haze in his heart.

At this moment, seeing the tyrants in the city move, something suppressed in my heart could no longer be suppressed, "Wang Yan, lead a thousand soldiers, and no one will be left behind. If any family escapes, you are the only one who will ask!" !"

Wang Yan trembled all over, not because the task was arduous, on the contrary, the task was very easy, because in his eyes, the elite of Ma Long's thousand troops was not inferior to Qin's pro-army. massacre.

He was surprised by Malone's tone.

The always gentle general seemed to be a different person at this time.

No one has experienced what Malone has experienced, so his shift in mentality is unknown.

This is actually the biggest reason why he is willing to defect to Qin.

"Sub-subordinates take orders!" Wang Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, the surprise in his eyes gradually turned into murderous look!
