A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 106: The city is destroyed and the Bai family is destroyed?

The Qin army has already arrived at the city and surrounded Taiyuan City.

Prince Bai Xin stood on the not very high wall of Taiyuan City, because no enemy had invaded the Taihang Mountains for hundreds of years. The role of the Taiyuan City Wall was originally to defend against wild beasts on the mountain and to manage the population in the city.

Next to Bai Xin was Gongsun Baiqing, Bai Xin's eldest son. Bai Xin saw that it was getting late and knew that the Qin army would not attack the city today, so he said to Bai Qing: "My dear, everyone in the family has almost left." !”

Bai Qing nodded and replied: "Including grandpa, you and me, there are a total of thirty-eight people in the family. The younger generation has left. I got the news yesterday and has settled in Huaishuyuan. However, uncles and even ancestors have left. Many people of my generation are unwilling to leave and are still in the Bai Mansion at this time."

When Bai Xin heard that there were still people who had not left, his face suddenly dropped, and he turned around and walked towards Bai Mansion. When we arrived at Bai Mansion, we saw that the hall was very noisy.

"I'm an old man. If I don't leave, I can't walk anymore." The speaker was Bai Shizi, who was the same generation as our ancestor Guang. He was ninety years old this year.

"If I don't leave, there will be no deserters in the Bai family. What will happen if I leave? If I leave, how can I face my son and say that his father is a coward?" This is from Bai Xin's generation. people.

Bai Wangtuo, sitting in the main seat, quietly watched them quarreling with each other. At this time, Bai Xin, who was dressed in armor and stomach, came in. Bai Tuo said: "The Qin army has arrived?"

Bai Xin nodded, and then Bai Tuo said to everyone: "It is easy to die for the Bai family, but it is very difficult to pass on the inheritance for the Bai family. Only today did I know that there are so many people in my Bai family who are afraid of hardships and dangers. !”

A Bai family member replied: "Master, we are not people to be afraid of!"

Bai Tuo said angrily: "If it's not the case, then why are you procrastinating? You want to be buried for the Bai family. What about the little ones from Huaishuyuan?"

Everyone lowered their heads, and Bai Tuo continued: "Since you can't decide for yourself, let me decide! Maybe you can believe me?"

Everyone cupped their hands and said: "Please appoint the head of the family!"

Bai Tuo said: "Fei, Xin, and Wu are all knowledgeable people. In order to better educate the next generation, you must not stay. Kan and Hui, both of you have no families. For the continuation of the Bai family , you must not stay.

Uncle Huai, you are already ninety. Apart from Uncle Lang, you are the only one who knows the Bai family best. You and Uncle Lang are like the anchor of the family. When we pass away, the younger generations of the family will still need your experience! You are not allowed to stay. "

Bai Huai wanted to say something else, but when he saw Bai Tuo's expression, he had no choice but to nod in agreement. He himself did not expect that he would actually see the moment when Bai Shi returned to his humble life. This is a great opportunity for a man who has contributed to the family for ninety years. How cruel the old man is!
Bai Tuo continued: "Qing'er, after your father and I leave, you will be the next head of the Bai family, and you will also be the youngest head of the family in the history of the Bai family. Remember not to act arbitrarily, and everything must be based on the family." Heavy.

When you are in doubt, ask the elders in your family and read more letters from past family heads. This will be helpful for you to deal with the problem.

Your grandmother and mother, as well as the many orphans who lost the backbone of their families in this war, all need your care. You must comfort their moods! "

After hearing this, Bai Qing knelt down to Bai Tuo and Bai Xin and said, "Qing'er knows the heavy responsibility on your shoulders and will do your best to protect the family and wait for the next revival of the family!"

A happy smile appeared on Bai Tuo's face after hearing this. At this time, Bai Xin said: "Qing'er, as a father, I know that you have always been independent and like to travel in the mountains and forests with Lang Zu. But from now on, you will have thousands of responsibilities on your shoulders, and you can no longer do it." If you go out of the valley at will, you will suffer."

Bai Qing was already in tears at this time, but she still said firmly: "Father, don't worry, Qing'er has grown up, knows the priorities of things, and understands some basic rights and wrongs. As long as the relatives at home are healthy and happy, even if you give up your original intention so what?"

When Bai Xin saw this, he knew that Bai Qing was no longer the young man who always had a smile on his face. He might smile less in the future, but he could only sigh secretly.

At this time, Bai Tuo said: "Tomorrow, you will go to the secret passage under the Bai Mansion, which leads to the source of the Sophora Tree. When Taiyuan City is destroyed, you can take advantage of this to escape from the secret passage and rush directly to the Source of the Sophora Tree.

For the remaining people, I will have people pile firewood in the Bai Mansion. When you retreat from the White Mansion, I will light a fire and burn myself. I have already left a number of corpses matching the number of Bai's sons to disturb the Qin army's sight and burn them by the way. Traces of secret passages. "

Someone asked what to do with the locust tree in the courtyard. Bai Tuo looked at the locust tree that had become a towering tree in the courtyard and said: "This is not only a disaster for my Bai family, but also a disaster for the Sophora ancestors! The only way is to continue. After experiencing disasters, the Bai family will always stand in the world, and the same goes for Huaizu!

Dear, after we die, the Qin army will not let go of Taiyuan City for the sake of the stability of the Taihang Mountains, and will definitely burn it down. Remember Huaizu, this is the only sign for you to regain your ancestral land in the future. "

Seeing that Bai Qing and everyone understood, Bai Tuo waved them down to get ready.

Second day

The Qin army began to attack the city. Although Taiyuan City was smaller than the city walls of the Central Plains cities, it had complete city defenses. There are twenty bed crossbows on one city wall alone.

The leader of the Qin Army is Wang Ben. He is very confident in this battle and is very excited, because as long as the remnants of the Bai Kingdom in Taiyuan City are eliminated, the world will truly be reunited, and the final battle will be left to him. This is the king's reward for himself! Therefore, Wang Ben devoted 200% of his energy to this battle.

Although the White Army's bed crossbows did great damage, the Qin Army quickly arrived at the city with strict discipline. Most of the Qin Army soldiers knew that this was the last battle in the world. After this battle, they wanted to get titles and military merits. , will be very difficult, so they are also very desperate.

The White Army, on the other hand, was determined to die. Their generals had told them that they had no way to retreat. Even their king and prince would die with them after the city was broken. What an honor it is to die with the King!
The fierce battle for the city wall began, with fists touching the flesh and swords touching blood. The blood of both Qin and Bai was sprinkled on every corner of the Taiyuan city wall. There were only 10,000 White troops left, but they actually resisted 100,000 Qin troops for one day. Constant attack. But in the end the Qin army captured the city.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the Qin army opened the city gate and stepped into this mountain city that had existed for hundreds of years. Taiyuan City was built on the mountain, with layers upon layers and well-proportioned.

The Qin army quickly advanced to Bai Mansion, the center of the Bai Kingdom. They originally wanted to take it in one go, but they were easily beaten out because the defenders were the most elite troops of the Bai Kingdom, the Bai Zhiwei.

Wang Ben came to the gate of Baifu and saw that another attack was repelled. He ordered the soldiers to retreat, and then let a group of troops armed to the teeth step forward to capture Baifu.

This elite Qin army is the "Iron Eagle Warrior", a special unit that the Qin State spent a lot of money to build. Although the White Guards were very elite, they were unable to defeat four hands with two fists. The two thousand White Guards were quickly wiped out by the 10,000 Iron Eagle warriors.

By the way, Prince Bai Xin was also killed. Soon, Wang Ben came to the courtyard of the head of the Bai Mansion. He saw the king of Bai Kingdom, the seventy-five-year-old Bai Tuo, sitting in high spirits at the door of the courtyard, with ten people standing behind him. Several Bai family members with divine seals between their eyebrows were waiting with swords, and next to them lay Bai Xin, who had expired.

Wang Ben couldn't help but feel suppressed when he saw Bai Tuo with full aura, and stepped forward to persuade him: "King Bai, surrender! The Bai Kingdom is gone. As long as you surrender, my king will definitely be able to keep it like the other five kingdoms." Your Bai family’s sacrifice!”

After hearing this, Bai Tuo laughed and said: "Surrender? I'm afraid you have forgotten it! The Bai family has no precedent of surrender since ancient times, how can it be broken by me?"

Wang Ben said: "Now that the Bai Kingdom is dead, and you are so old, it is a pity to die like this? What's the point of still resisting?"

Bai Tuo said: "The Bai Kingdom has perished, but the Bai family will not perish. As long as the Bai family exists for a day, a country like yours that does not cherish the power of its people and does not regard its people as human beings will surely perish in the hands of the Bai family.

I am seventy-five years old this year. I have lived enough. How can I begrudge my death? There was the ancestor Huan who died in Jingchu with King Zhao of Zhou, and died young in middle age; the ancestor uncle who followed was the uncle who defended Handan and died young.

The Bai family has never been one to begrudge life. As for sacrifices, as long as your Qin country is not popular among the people, how can the Bai family lack sacrifices from all the people? joke! "

Wang Ben didn't want to talk to Bai Tuoduo and waved his hand, wanting someone to capture them. Suddenly a burst of fire ignited from behind the White King, and quickly spread to both sides.

The fire dragon seemed to be centered on King Bai, and slowly sprang out from both sides of him, closing behind the Qin army. Wang Ben was surprised, but when he saw King Bai's smile, he felt a chill in his back.

"Withdraw! Get out of the ring of fire quickly!" Wang Ben took the lead and ran backwards, and the other Qin troops also ran desperately. Because there were too many Qin troops behind them, blocking the way forward, the Qin troops retreated very slowly.

Looking from the sky, I saw a black torrent in the middle rushing towards the outside of the city, with a giant red flame on both sides chasing the black torrent.

Soon, the fire dragon closed in. There were still many Qin soldiers inside who had not escaped, and the fire circle began to burn toward the center.

Because most of the houses in Taiyuan City were made of wood, the fire burned quickly. In an instant, the entire Taiyuan City was burning like a furnace.

Fortunately, most of the Qin army ran out, including Wang Ben. Relying on his reputation as a general, he passed through the border and beheaded generals. Finally, he broke out of the sea of ​​​​fire, but he was also burned to death by the flames. Not only was his beard gone, but his hair was also gone. Half of the body was burned, and he was in such a miserable state.

In this battle, the Qin army numbered 100,000, but in the end only 50,000 were left. Just as Wang Ben was looking at the sea of ​​fire, a scout came to report that remnants of the Bai Kingdom were found three miles outside the city, and they were now fleeing to the north.

After hearing this, Wang Ben gritted his teeth and said, "Send the Iron Eagle warriors out to the Taihang Mountains and kill them all. Don't let any of them go!"

Then thousands of Iron Eagle warriors dispersed into the vast Taihang Mountains like eagles.

The fire burned for three days and three nights before being extinguished by heavy rain. Wang Ben asked people to enter and check the corpses. Finally, many charred corpses were found in the family courtyard. They identified them through their clothes as belonging to the Bai family. He asked people to compare the number of people and found that the number matched the specific number of Bai family members.

Who is the one who escaped? Wang Ben couldn't help but think that in the end Wang Ben asked the remaining Qin troops to go deep into the Taihang Mountains to see if there were any remaining Bai family members. Once discovered, they would be killed without mercy.

People all over the world couldn't help but feel a pity after receiving the news that the Bai Kingdom was destroyed and that King Bai and Taiyuan City burned themselves together. Many families even felt panic and sadness after learning the news. When they went to the family ancestral hall, they were greeted by the words "Bai Kingdom" Not equal to Bai Shi", he calmed down.
