A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1888 Betrayal, the city is not so easy to attack

The strategy of surrendering as soon as possible is absolutely normal. When the first person dropped his weapon and prepared to run towards the city gate, the people around him immediately became alert. Of course... they did not kill the other person or call him a coward, but stood in front of the other person, then dropped their weapons and ran forward...

Anyway, King Qing's people only said that they could not cause trouble outside the city gate queue, but they did not say that they could not fight on the battlefield. In order to be promoted to the next level, they could only attack their companions.

"No one is allowed to compete with me. I will be the first to surrender." As these words were shouted, the entire battlefield became chaotic. The rebels stopped attacking the city and started fighting among themselves.

Finally, after killing dozens of his companions, a strong and muscular man rushed to the front. He squatted at the city gate with his hands on his head. Those who were still hesitating whether to surrender were dumbfounded.

The chance of promotion is gone? What about the chance of forgiveness?

No, I can't miss it this time.

Those who were wavering immediately made up their minds that those who charged in the front had the greatest advantage. They no longer had the intention to attack the city, so they dropped their weapons and lined up to surrender.

"Surrender, I want to surrender, I will be the first thousand. I will be the first thousand."

The rebels charging in the front were like crazy. They dropped their weapons and uniforms, swung their arms and ran forward, determined to be the first thousand. The people behind couldn't hold back when they saw this. If they couldn't be the first thousand, they would rather be the first two or three thousand than end up serving in the army or becoming slaves.

"Surrender, surrender quickly. If you don't surrender, we will not even be in the first 5,000, and we will have no choice but to wait for death." The rebels not only surrendered themselves, but also instigated their companions to surrender. In order to compete for the first place, they raised their knives and stabbed their companions on the battlefield.

"Hiko, I'm sorry. I have a wife and daughter to take care of. I must grab the first 2,000 spots."

Killing a companion gives them one more chance.

This kind of thing happened more than once. Those who rushed to surrender were not afraid to raise their swords and chop at their colleagues in order to grab the front spot. When Yun Xiao, Wang Qi and Feng Qingchen went to the top of the city wall, they saw the rebels killing each other.

"Have you expected this?" Wang Qi's face looked ugly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Feng Qingchen was full of blame and a hint of fear.

Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly and nodded gently: "If they can betray Dong Ling, they can naturally betray their colleagues."

"They...many of them are forced to do things against their will. What you are doing is too cruel." Wang Qi did not claim to be kind and could not kill people, but he just couldn't stand Feng Qingchen and used this method to make these people reveal the evil side of their nature.

Except that he did not hold the knife himself, Feng Qingchen's actions were no different from those of a butcher.

"Cruel? If killing the enemy is considered cruel, then don't go to the battlefield. There are only enemies and comrades on the battlefield. No matter if they are forced to do so or not, they are our enemies once they are on the battlefield. If you don't kill the other side on the battlefield, you will be killed by the other side. Even if you are friends, when you meet on the battlefield and are on the enemy side, you still have to chop with the knife. If you don't kill him... he will kill your comrades." Feng Qingchen said it bluntly and calmly.

"But they are about to surrender, and surrendered soldiers will not be killed." The battlefield was already cruel enough, but Feng Qingchen wanted to add fuel to the fire.

"They are not surrendered soldiers. Didn't the King of Qing say that he would only recruit 5,000 people to surrender? If they are not counted as these 5,000 people, they are not surrendered soldiers. Besides... they betrayed their country one moment and their companions now. Are they worthy of my mercy?" Feng Qingchen raised the corner of his eyes and revealed a sarcastic smile.

Life is precious. When she was a doctor, she cherished every life; when she was in a high position and became a superior, she cherished the lives of her subordinates and soldiers. For this reason, she did not hesitate to raise the butcher knife and chop at the enemy!

Wang Qi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao saw it more clearly than Wang Qi: "If the rebels don't die, it's the soldiers under the Qing king who will die. They can even kill their companions. Such people don't deserve sympathy."

"But not everyone is like this." Wang Qi pointed to another place where a young man with blood all over his face was supporting his injured companion and walking towards the surrender place. Wang Qi couldn't hear what they said, he only saw the injured man pushing the young man away, but the young man stubbornly refused to let go.

There are also loyal and righteous people among the rebels, and we can't kill them all at once, but...

"So what? There are so many people who are hungry, cold and clothed, and who sell their children. Do you want to take care of all of them?" Feng Qingchen said coldly. Before Wang Qi could refute, he blocked his way: "If you are really that great, you must have the ability first. Oh, right... if you have the ability, I think the first place you would save is Beiling. Beiling has always been short of food, and many people starve to death every winter. If the Seventh Young Master is kind, let the Wang family donate a batch of food to Beiling every year, so that the people of Beiling can eat and grow strong, and then come back to attack Dongling."

Feng Qingchen also wanted to be kind and wanted the world to be peaceful, but she simply didn't have the ability to do so. The four countries were each governing their own country, and even if she sympathized with the people who starved to death in Beiling, she couldn't help them now.

Those ordinary people don’t even have the ability to protect themselves. Even if the food is delivered to them, they cannot keep it.

After Feng Qingchen finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Wang Qi stunned at the top of the city wall and Yun Xiao worried.

Yun Xiao looked at Wang Qi in a daze and kindly pulled him off the top of the city wall: "War is like this, it's either you die or I die, kindness is useless at this time. If you don't like it, don't look at it. Feng Qingchen did this just because he didn't want anything to happen to his own people."

"I just..." Wang Qi covered his face with his hands and was unable to speak for a long time.

Compared with Feng Qingchen and Yun Xiao, he was still too well protected and thought everything was too beautiful.

He was well protected in the city, so what qualifications did he have? The soldiers fighting on the city wall to protect them were too cruel.

"Don't act like a sissy. Go back and apologize to Qingchen. She knows you mean no harm." That was only Feng Qingchen. If it were someone else, after hearing Wang Qi's words, they would definitely break off their friendship with Wang Qi.

Wang Qi was almost saying that Feng Qingchen was cold-blooded and cruel.

Wang Qi nodded, said no more, took one last look at the gloomy battlefield, and turned around firmly...

Not long after Wang Qi and Yun Xiao went down, the riot caused by surrender on the battlefield was suppressed by the rebel leader with iron-blooded means: anyone who was ready to surrender would be executed.

Fight violence with violence. After rows of people died tragically, the remaining people wanted to surrender, but they did not dare to step forward for fear of being killed by the leader.

When the rebel leader was about to send people to kill all the surrenderers squatting at the city gate, the city gate suddenly opened, and a column of cavalry rushed out of the city. The vanguard shouted: "Brothers, charge... Kill all these conscienceless guys."

"Kill, kill..."

The Qing king sent out his troops with great force and shouts of killing. The rebels were scattered and were no match for him at all.

"Retreat, retreat..." The rebels suffered heavy losses during the siege, and their morale was unstable due to the rebellion. They were no match for the troops from Jiangnan. The rebel leader knew he could not fight anymore, and without caring about food and fodder, he gave orders to retreat again and again.

Anyway, he still has a backup plan. The food and jewels hidden in Wugong Mountain are enough for them to survive for a year or so, and also enough for them to recruit soldiers and wait for King Zhou's reinforcements to arrive.
