Chapter 189: City Fall
The Qin army's pace of attacking the city became more and more fierce.
Zhaocheng, which was short of manpower, was on the verge of collapse under the tidal-like attack.
This kind of extremely intense attack was so severe that the first people to survive appeared within a few days.
Then, teams of Qin people climbed onto the top of the city walls through the gaps that the Luo people had no time to defend.
These Qin people were very excited and wanted to reap the lives of the Luo people to enhance their own ranks.
When the people of Luo realized that they could no longer stop the Qin people from climbing the city wall, they changed their mind.
We are going to engage in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Qin people.
“Puff!”
As the sharp blade was pulled out, blood spurted out.
On the top of Zhaocheng City, the Qin people were fighting fiercely with the brave warriors and sharp soldiers.
The swords were slashing at each other's most fatal parts.
The knife cut into the aorta, and blood spurted out.
Everyone was covered in blood, and they had no idea whether it was their own blood or the enemy's.
The body was lying casually on the ground, its face was pale.
Some of them did not look like they had just died, but rather looked like they had frozen to death in the snow and ice.
Most people die without even closing their eyes.
If there really is such a thing as dying with eyes wide open in this world, I guess at least 90 percent of the people who died here would be dead.
Brave warriors make the strongest army in the world!
Even the elite troops of the Qin army were no match for the brave warriors.
Besides, the Luo people who remained in Zhaocheng were all wearing armor.
Although these elite Qin troops who arrived first were also wearing armor, their defense level was completely different.
The swords of the Qin army could not even penetrate the defense, but the swords of the Luo people could cut through the Qin people's armor with one sword.
In a short period of fighting, most of the bodies lying on the city walls were from the Qin people.
The few bodies of the Luo people were found after they were surrounded and beaten, fell to the ground, and then were killed.
The scenes of hand-to-hand combat are always so tragic.
"Brothers, has anyone seen where my brother is?"
The person who spoke had a holy mark engraved between his eyebrows.
He casually pulled out the sword from the Qin man's body and pointed it at the brave warriors around him.
"The head of the family went to the ancestral temple."
"Brothers, more and more Qin soldiers are climbing up the city wall. We can't defend this place anymore.
Let’s go to the ancestral temple.
Even if I have to die, I still want to be closer to my ancestors."
As soon as these words were spoken, the brave warriors responded in unison and headed towards the ancestral temple.
Most of the things here have been moved out.
However, as a thousand-year-old holy place of Luo State, it has extremely important significance in the eyes of all Luo people.
Luo Ze couldn't help but come here after all.
He knelt on the ground, completely unable to control those pent-up emotions.
He burst into tears in pain.
“Ancestor.
The Luo Kingdom fell in my hands, and the thousand-year-old country collapsed just like that!"
Turn the country into home!
This is necessary for the Luo family, but for Luo Ze, what a painful thing it is!
He would rather perish in the underworld than see the country of Luo destroyed in his hands.
But this is his fate!
He was the son of Duke Wu of Luo.
When Duke Wu of Luo decided to take on the destiny of Zhou in the end.
Let the glory of Luo Kingdom come to an end.
The fate of the country's destruction fell upon him somehow.
Ji Lingjun sighed: "It's really pitiful.
I remember that stupid kid Azhi cried like this back then.
These children are carrying a thousand years of glory, and the pressure in their hearts is really too great."
"Idiot!"
A gentle and warm voice came from the darkness.
Luo Ze felt that the sadness in his heart seemed to be soothed.
“Ancestor!”
Luo Ze said in surprise.
Ji Zhao said softly: "How could Luo Kingdom perish?
Luo State has never been a piece of land among the Xia people.
It's not the Zhaocheng under your feet.
Luo Guo is a person.
Countless clansmen over the past thousand years, those people who recognized the royal way.
The bodies of these people may have decayed, but their spirits and souls live on.
As long as these are still there, where can't Luoguo be rebuilt?"
Luo Ze was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed heavily, "Grandfather, Ze understands!"
Ji Zhao's voice suddenly became majestic, "Go ahead.
The tribesmen are waiting for you outside.
Bring your army and fight till the end of your life.
Do not be afraid of death, for your ancestors stood at the end of death."
Luo Ze was shaking with excitement. He kowtowed heavily again, then stood up and walked out of the temple.
Sure enough, a large number of Luo people gathered here.
Everyone was filled with murderous aura and under the reflection of the blood, they looked like Shuras.
Seeing Luo Ze walking out of the ancestral temple, Luo Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and said urgently: "Father.
The Qin army had already breached the city gates and sections of the city walls had been lost.
The Qin people have entered the city, what should we do now? "
What else can be done?
The only thing we can do is fight to the death, and now all we have to do is choose a burial place.
Luo Ze laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, “Bring thousands of troops and fight until the end of your life.
Cheng'er, all the royal family members who have not yet been crowned are in the storage room.
If you take some brave warriors with you to the storage room, the Qin people will definitely go there.
When they come, they will burn down the storage room.
The remaining brothers will stay in the ancestral temple.
In front of the spirits of our ancestors, we welcome our death.
There are no ancestral temples or storage rooms.
Zhaocheng will become a completely worthless city."
As soon as Luo Ze finished speaking, a loud bang was heard.
All the unguarded city gates had been broken open, and the Qin people poured into the city from all directions.
This city that stood in the east of China for thousands of years was finally lost today.
The Qin people quickly controlled the area several hundred steps from the city gate, which was the battle zone between the two sides.
Under the fierce attack of the Qin people, this place naturally became a ruin long ago.
When the generals of the Qin army saw that they had finally captured Zhaocheng, they excitedly drove their chariots in.
"Search the entire city. The Luo army has not been completely wiped out yet. Anyone who dares to hide the Luo army will be killed!"
This is the first order.
But soon someone noticed something was wrong; the city seemed too quiet.
The scout rushed over and said urgently, "General, there is no one in the city!
Most of the houses were empty, and there seemed to be no women or children in the entire Zhaocheng.
There are only some elderly Luo people, who look to be over fifty years old.”
There are many older people in Zhaocheng who have not left.
The main reason is that they are old and have only a few years left to live, so they are unwilling to leave their homeland thousands of miles away.
He is only willing to live and die with Zhaocheng, and he can also conceal his identity to a certain extent.
The Luo royal family respected their ideas, so a large number of elderly people stayed in Zhaocheng.
The news brought by the scout was like a bolt from the blue.
There is no one in Zhaocheng!
After three years of fighting, you tell me this is an empty city?
“Empty city?
Do you want me to tell the king that this is an empty city?"
General Qin's eyes were filled with fear.
If I tell the king this, he will definitely draw his sword and kill me!
That's not right.
I'm just a vanguard, not a commander.
This is Wang Jian’s problem.
Why?
Wang Jian is seriously ill and bedridden?
In the end, the heavy responsibility fell on the head of the family!
General Qin's face darkened completely, and he said in a deep voice: "Go and report to the head of the family!"
Wang Jian was lying on the bed, and he had to play the whole game. He was really sick, but it was not that serious.
After Wang Ben informed him of the news in the city, Wang Jian was also shocked and asked in a choked voice: "Are the young women and children gone?"
Wang Ben nodded vigorously, his expression full of fear.
“I don’t know where these Luo people have fled to.
Fortunately, your hatred with Luo State is not that great.
There is no mercy on the battlefield.
The people of Luo should not come to seek revenge.
If the ancestral temples and altars of Luo State were destroyed, it would be hard to say what would happen."
Wang Jian agreed and said, "Luo is different from other countries.
The State of Luo has come to this day by adhering to the order of Bang Zhou.
However, the accumulation of wisdom over thousands of years has a profound foundation that far exceeds that of other countries.
There is only one thing that I, as a father, cannot figure out right now.
That's why we have to keep all the royal children in Zhaocheng?"
Whenever a city is captured, the first places to be controlled are the royal palace and the aristocratic areas.
All the royal officials and nobles in the palace must be captured.
Then it was the ancestral temple, where all the sacrificial vessels were taken away, which foreshadowed that the ancestors would no longer bless the country.
Then he went to the storage room, took the books away, and exchanged them for gold, silver and jewelry with Luo Guo.
Those that Luo State didn’t want were burned directly.
Especially history books. Without history, people would not know where they came from.
Only by destroying history books can a country be truly destroyed.
The royal palace, ancestral temple, and the treasury room are the three major processes of destroying a country.
After the Qin people found that there was no one in Zhaocheng, they immediately headed towards the storage room. The location of the Luo State Storage Room was not far from the palace.
The Qin soldiers immediately spotted a large number of brave warriors from the Luo State, and protected the group as they headed to the storage room.
Among them are some children that have never been seen in the entire city!
"Stigmata!"
One person shouted excitedly.
"It's the Luo State Office."
Another person shouted loudly, his voice full of excitement.
Killing a soldier from Luo State would earn you triple the reward.
What about killing a member of the Luo royal family?
These Qin people were not afraid at all and immediately rushed forward with swords in hand.
This is why Wang Jian brought the old Qin people to attack Zhaocheng.
Because this group of old Qin people had no scruples about killing the royal family of Luo State.
As for the people of the six countries, because of their faith in the Su King, except for those who were blinded by greed, most of the soldiers did not dare to take action when they saw the holy marks.
The brave warriors protected the Luo state royal family and walked into the storage room, and a group of people blocked the Qin people who came to pursue them.
Then.
In front of everyone, a raging fire broke out in the storage room.
Self-immolation!
This is a common tactic used by those who lose their country.
Although these Qin people had not been educated, they had heard of the most famous King Zhou of Shang.
Everyone suddenly became anxious. The storage room was full of books. They didn't care whether the books were burned or not, but with so many books, the fire would definitely not be put out.
If the royal family of Luo State were to burn to ashes, wouldn't their meritorious titles be gone immediately?
————
Three years after the Qin army attacked Luoyang, the city was broken and the Qin army entered the city.
If tyranny is not eradicated, there will be no end to the pursuit.
He actually wanted to use force against the son of a royal family. He is truly a wolf! - "Records of the Grand Historian: The Family of Luo"
