System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 135 Surrender
Zheng Anping couldn't help but feel a chill and made a clicking sound with his teeth: "He, they are threatening us!"

"Yes, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys." The deputy general was not surprised and looked at it expressionlessly.

For three consecutive days, Lord Chun Shen would order people to kill a prisoner of the Qin army in public.

In the open wilderness, the Qin soldiers' prisoners howled in pain, miserable pleas for mercy, and angry curses echoed continuously.

Zheng Anping covered his ears and closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look or listen.

Naturally, he had no way of knowing that due to the tense battle situation in Xinzhong City, Lord Chun Shen divided his troops into two groups and secretly went to support them, leaving only Le Cheng and Qing Cheng to continue the siege of Xinliang City.

"The Qin army guard Zheng Anping is greedy for life and afraid of death. When he was guarding Fencheng, he fled without fighting. In the past few days, we have frightened his courage. You don't need to attack by force, continue the siege, and wait until he can't bear it anymore. Go and persuade him to surrender." Before leaving, Lord Chun Shen explained to Le Cheng and others.

"Here!" Le Cheng and Qing Cheng said in unison.

Chun Shenjun took away most of the troops, leaving only 1 people for Le Cheng.

This is actually a very risky decision, because encirclement by ten means that one must have ten times the enemy's strength before encirclement can be considered.

But Chun Shenjun concluded that Zheng Anping did not dare to fight and would only shrink back.

Le Cheng ordered: "If the fire in the kitchen is not reduced, and the camp is not reduced, if anyone leaks the secret, kill him!"

"Here!"

The Chu-Zhao allied forces stayed outside the city for a long time, as if they were afraid that the people in Xiangcheng would not come out. They beat drums to assemble every day and provoked people outside the city.

The deputy general Lao Shen was there, as if he were watching a play, watching the Chu army change their tricks and scold the formation: "I have always heard that the Chu State worships mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, fairies and ghosts. Do you think they are dancing to the gods now?"

"Hahaha."

"Perhaps you are begging for blessings from the spirits?"

"Hahaha, there are so many monsters, can you please come over?"

The beliefs of Chu State are slightly different from those of Qin, Zhao and other countries.

The people of Chu believed in the strange mountain gods, while the people of Qin worshiped and believed in their ancestors.

In addition, after Qin occupied Chu, it did not treat the Chu people leniently and favorably, and the Chu people could not adapt to Qin's laws, so they were unable to integrate into Qin and did not regard themselves as Qin people.

"It's useless to beg anyone. Our general will not send people out of the city to fight."

As soon as this was said, the laughter stopped.

Everyone knows that the Qin soldiers in Xinliang City will either starve to death of thirst or surrender, and will never die on the battlefield.

Because their leader, Zheng Anping, is such a person.

Chief Yan Chong silently wiped the sword in his hand with his leather armor. He tied a strap on his thigh and lowered his head to hide the hatred in his eyes.

At this time, in the distance, Chu people's chariots and soldiers stopped dozens of steps outside the city. The chariot's right hand held up its long spear and shouted provocatively towards the city, saying ugly things. if.

"Jing people are so brave!"

The deputy general glanced at the listless Qin soldiers on the top of the city, pretended to be furious, took the horned bow of a soldier next to him, aimed at the charioteer and shot him with an arrow!
He was indeed a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was a good arrow shooter. Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and the arrow landed a few steps in front of the chariot.

Seeing this, the three people on the chariot became even more aggressive. They yelled and cursed from afar. They were all the Qin people who had no courage and were the defeated generals.

The deputy general put away his horned bow and gritted his teeth and said, "The people of Chu are so arrogant! Why don't you rush out and fight to the death!"

"That's what I meant."

"Kill them without leaving any trace behind!" "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill for whatever reason! Shut up, all of you!" Zheng Anping finally fell asleep, but was woken up by the sound of shouting and killing all over the city.

Could it be that the Chu army launched a massive attack? !

When Zheng Anping grabbed the baggage he had prepared and wanted to run away, he found that it was the Qin soldiers who were shouting to fight and kill, but there was no movement from the Chu army.

In anger, Zheng Anping rushed to the top of the wall and spat at the deputy general and the Qin soldiers on the top of the city.

The saliva with bad breath splashed on everyone's face, but everyone did not wipe it away, but stared at the baggage in Zheng Anping's hand.

The deputy general closed his eyes tightly, suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and asked: "General, where are you going with the baggage?"

Zheng Anping was scolding vigorously. When he heard the words, he seemed to be frozen. His eyes rolled up. He saw the Qin soldiers around him staring at him fiercely, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

While they were talking, the Chu troops had already arrived at the city and set up their formation. It looked like an experienced military officer was commanding them in an orderly manner.

Then, two chariots drove straight towards the city. After the chariots stopped, a man who looked like a Chu State soldier stood up and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, you have run out of ammunition and food, so why bother to resist fearlessly? Our Chu army will not kill prisoners! General Zheng, why don't you lead your troops to surrender?"

Zheng Anping was very excited. He opened his mouth to agree, but was stopped by the deputy general.

"General, once we surrender, not only will we become army thieves, but we will also implicate hundreds of soldiers. Poor parents, brothers, wives and children, they will all be taken as concubines. General, please think again!"

Is Zheng Anping afraid?He is not afraid at all.His parents have long since died. Although there are many wives, concubines, and children in Xianyang City, as long as he lives, are he afraid that he will not be able to find a wife?

If you have a woman, you will naturally have a son.

Moreover, if he leads his troops to surrender, the treatment he will receive will definitely be much better than that of ordinary soldiers.After all, he has more than 2 people with him!

"Remember, I am the commander-in-chief. I have the final say whether to surrender or not!" Zheng Anping decided to have his own way.

The deputy general's hand holding the sword had veins popping out: "General, none of us are willing to surrender!"

"Don't surrender!"

"I won't surrender even if I die!"

"Aweng and my brother told me many times before I joined the army that I would rather die in battle than become a deserter, let alone surrender!"

In Qin's military law, the worst behavior is not losing troops and losing territory, but surrendering.

Especially in Guanzhong, where Qin law has been immersed for more than a hundred years, before a father sends his son, an elder brother sends a younger brother, and a wife sends her husband to join the army, they will warn each other that even if it is for the sake of the family, you must abide by military orders and fight hard. You must not do anything. Deserting, or even surrendering...

Although Zheng Anping was panicking, he still pretended to be calm and yelled loudly: "Rebellion! Are you planning to rebel?"

After saying that, Zheng Anping was still worried that the Chu army would be impatient if they waited too long, so he hurriedly stuck his head out and shouted to the people below the city.

"I am Zheng Anping! I am willing to surrender!"

After Le Cheng and Qing Cheng saw this, they laughed proudly: "Jun Chun Shen is indeed very cunning."

Being able to take back Xinliang City without spending a single soldier and capture 3 to [-] Qin troops was a great military achievement!

Lecheng and Qingcheng were relieved and planned to wash up and welcome the surrender of Qin soldiers.

Zheng Anping made an appointment with the Chu army under the city to surrender. When he turned around, he found that everyone was glaring at him with red eyes.
