    The rapid collapse of Xianyang's peripheral defenses was not only unexpected by the Qin people who were trapped in the isolated city, but also by the attacking Han army. So much so that after occupying the peripheral defense line, the pause was temporary.  It stopped because the Han army was not ready for the final attack on Xianyang.  But three days later, the cannon roared again. This time, it directly attacked the tall and steep city wall of Xianyang.  As the capital of a country, the city walls of Xianyang City are naturally well-deserved for their reputation for being tall and precipitous. After the advent of reinforced concrete, Xianyang City was once again strengthened. In history, there are many examples of people who were trapped in an isolated city for more than ten years and still managed to hold on.  .  And this has become the only thought of the people in the city.  In the Heibingtai Hall, Lu Chao was sitting on the throne in full dress. Under the steps, all officials in Xianyang, big and small, were told that they must go to face the king today.  In the Black Ice Terrace, rows of Eagle soldiers stood with their swords drawn, adding a murderous look to the already solemn Black Ice Terrace hall.  Everyone dared not take a breath, their eyes were watching their noses, and their noses were watching their hearts. Ever since the Qin and Chu alliance to attack the Han Dynasty failed last year, Lu Chao's temper had become moody. Killing people was a common occurrence.  It won't be because of how long your family history is or how high your prominent position is. If you don't agree with your words or don't agree with you at all, you will be served with a big sword.  The heavy door of the Black Ice Platform Hall was closed, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed. Huge ox candles were lit, and the faint cannons reflected everyone's changing faces.  Although the gate is thick, it cannot block the rumbling sound of artillery in the distance, and the impact point of the artillery seems to be getting closer and closer.  Along with the huge roar of the artillery, there were countless weird chirping sounds.  And this kind of weird sound actually passed through the sky above the Black Ice Platform Hall from time to time. The scream that ripped through the air made everyone tremble with fear.  This is the latest weapon of the Han army. At Hangu Pass, it destroyed Qian Zhongyi's 20,000 elite defenders in one fell swoop.  As more and more information came out about the defeat of Hangu Pass, the people in Xianyang City became more and more afraid.  It is the sickle of death and the harvester of life, which cannot be stopped at all.  Since yesterday.  This weird chirping sound never stopped. The only thing that was different from Hangu Pass was that what fell after the shell exploded was not that kind of will-o'-the-wisp.  Instead, there were stickers flying all over the sky.  The content of the poster is self-evident, it is of course to persuade the people of Xianyang to surrender, to call on the people of Xianyang to rise up and overthrow the tyranny, and to induce the soldiers in the city to open the city and surrender.  The Ying soldiers led by Gou Yi broke their legs while running, and wanted to collect all the stickers. However, no matter how fast they ran, they could not beat them as fast as the outsiders. After the explosion, the sky was full of snow-white stickers.  Nothing to gain.  Nothing could be destroyed, and in the end, Gou Yi gave up this meaningless move.  "Let's talk about it, what should we do now?" Lu Chao's cold voice sounded from above the imperial steps, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell. All the courtiers lowered their heads in silence. Now, they really have nothing to do, no.  There should be another one, but unfortunately, no one dares to say it.  Outside the city, the Han army's artillery was clearing out the firepower points on the city one by one.  Compared with the lousy cannons on the outer defense line that kill people and are suicidal, the quality of the artillery on the city is much better. Although the firing speed is slow, it has been firing at the city, but as soon as he exposes his  The point of firepower will immediately attract fierce artillery fire.  Covering fire will destroy the forts on the city bit by bit, and eventually this firepower point will be removed.  This is the last battle. No commander will care about the loss of ammunition.  Groups of infantry took advantage of the gaps in the artillery fire on the city to pass through the fire blockade network, marched straight to a place not far from the city wall, and busily began to set up their infantry artillery.  Small cannons were lined up densely, and with an order, shells jumped out of the barrel one after another. Unlike other artillery pieces, this infantry cannon flew in a high parabola in the air.  Accurately falling on the city wall one by one, the continuous explosions and flashes of fire, accompanied by the screams of the soldiers on the city, formed the main theme of the entire battlefield.  The firepower of the Han army covered all areas near and far. The fierce artillery attack lasted for a whole morning, spending hundreds of thousands of artillery shells. The counterattack on the city finally became weaker and weaker, and finally fell silent completely.  With the loud sound of the bugle, the infantry, which had been holding back for a long time, finally launched an attack. Countless siege vehicles, siege planks, battering rams, rams, and ladders were pushed by the Han army, raising their heads, on the mountain.  With shouts like roaring mountains, they rushed towards the Xianyang city wall.  The range of the artillery began to extend at this moment, and the small artillery under the city became more and more violent, blasting to the point where the Qin soldiers hiding in the caves on the city could not get out at all. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way, ladders were put up on the city wall, siege vehicles came up one after another, and siege engines were built in front of the siege platforms.The hooks were tightly hooked on the wall stacks. Countless Han troops followed these siege equipment and crawled up like ants. On the towers that were almost as high as the city walls, countless divine machine crossbows fired locust-like missiles.  The crossbow arrows suppressed the Qin army at the top of the city. Almost as soon as the Qin army showed up, they would be shot down like hedgehogs.  Occasionally, there will be breakthroughs and arrows rushing forward. Facing the tall building city and the fastened anchor hook, there is no way to do it. They can only wave the knife in their hand desperately and try their best to chop the anchor hook, which is as thick as a child's arm.  , Like a flying dragon shaking a pillar, it wants to push these huge guys away from the city wall.  Inside the Black Ice Terrace, there was still deathly silence. No one spoke, and no one dared to speak.  With a bang, the closed door was pushed open by the wall, and a general covered in blood rushed in.  He staggered and fell on the cold black ground. He tried his best to get up but was unable to do anything. When he saw the blood flowing out from the general's body, there was a loud bang in the hall, and he was so frightened that he fainted.  on the ground.  "Your Majesty, the west city gate has been breached. The west city defenders have retreated to the inner city. The Han army is expanding their attack area. The outer city cannot be defended." The loyal general lay on the ground, but still stretched out his bloody hand.  hand, "Your Majesty, let's go quickly, let's go quickly, the Han army's artillery fire is too fierce, we can't resist it." With a snap, the raised hand dropped down, and the general who tried his best to say these words stared with big eyes,  He died in a pool of blood all over the ground.  "Your Majesty." The white-haired Chief Assistant Liu Zhilong stepped forward tremblingly and knelt down in front of the steps: "Your Majesty, please make a decision early." "Decision, what decision?" Lu Chao leaned forward, his face  With a smile, he said: "Liu Qing, what decision do you want me to make?" Liu Zhilong raised his head: "Your Majesty, the situation is over and the manpower is irreversible. For the sake of Xianyang and the people, please ask your Majesty to surrender to the Han people!  Emperor Gaoyuan has never killed anyone before. He asked the Emperor to surrender. Although he lost his country, he could still protect his ancestral temple!  You are a bandit. Now that you have lost, why should you lose more completely? Surrender? Hahaha, yes, of course you can surrender. After surrender, you just change your master and you can still live a prosperous life.  I'm happy, but that's not what I think. I can surrender to anyone, but I will never surrender to Gao Yuan." Liu Zhilong looked at Lu Chao in astonishment: "Your Majesty, you and the Emperor of Han have been friends for many generations.  Yuanyuan, please surrender to him. With the style of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, you will not treat your majesty badly. Even if your majesty does not think about yourself, you must think about the queen mother and the prince." "Please think about the ancestral temple,  Please surrender to the Emperor of Han!" In the main hall, hundreds of courtiers knelt down. In fact, everyone didn't have this idea in their hearts, they just didn't dare to say it. Now that Liu Zhilong made the move, everyone got off the slope and exhorted them together.  The emperor, with his strength in numbers, is not afraid of the emperor being disobedient.  With a crash, Lu Chao overturned the imperial case in front of him and stood up suddenly, with a look of anger on his face, "Young Gao Yuan is so cunning and cunning. I, Lu Chao, would rather break my body into pieces than surrender to him, and you, too,  Don't think about it." Looking at the courtiers kneeling in darkness at the foot of the steps, he suddenly laughed coldly: "And you can't think about it either." He raised his hand and gestured to the guards in the hall.  With a cry, the steel sword was unsheathed. An officer from the Eagle Department took a step forward and picked up a young official who was kneeling in front of him like a chicken.  The neck was thrown to the ground with a snap.  The official who fell to the ground had already died, but his body was still twitching in a pool of blood. The other people around him were stunned. It wasn't until another official was cut off in the neck by a soldier that the hall exploded.  "The emperor is going to kill us, run away!" One jumped up, turned around and ran away towards the gate.  A steel knife roared with the cold wind, passed through his chest, stabbed him flatly, flew up, and fell heavily to the ground.  There were endless screams in the main hall. Almost all of the people gathered in the main hall today were civil servants. In front of these Yingbu soldiers, there was no way they could parry. The occasional military generals were rarely able to resist, and they were defeated in the blink of an eye.  The fate of killing.  Liu Zhilong looked at this bloody scene, his lips trembled, "You, you are crazy, are you crazy?" Gou Yi sneered and walked up to Liu Zhilong: "Chief Assistant, didn't you say that you would be loyal to His Majesty and always serve His Majesty?  What? Your Majesty still leaves you the position of chief assistant, please feel free to go on your way." After stabbing out the knife, Liu Zhilong stared blankly at the steel knife that penetrated his chest and abdomen, and fell down with a sad smile.  More than a hundred officials were slaughtered in an instant. Seeing the corpses all over the hall and the pool of blood on the ground, Lu Chao went crazyHe laughed heartily: "No one can live. Gou Yi, go do your thing!" Gou Yi knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Lu Chao: "Your Majesty, take care, I will still be your Majesty in the future."  Effectiveness." Standing up, he said loudly: "Let's go."
