Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 148 The King and His Ministers Follow Each Other

Soon, General Meng Wu led the Qin army to besiege Shouchun.

The Qin army was at the gate of the city.

The king and his ministers of Chu were ready to fight to the death.

King You of Chu forcibly conscripted all the men in Shouchun City, leaving only women and children at home.

The woman pulled her husband, and the child cried for father.

The cries and wailing sounds in Shouchun City turned into dark clouds in the sky, pressing down on the top of Shouchun City for several days.

Showa guarded the city gate every day and did not dare to leave for a moment.

In the Qin army camp outside the city

"General, we have been besieging Shouchun City for three days. When will we prepare to attack the city?"

Seeing that the credit was just around the corner, all the soldiers in the army were eager to try.

Who would have thought that the general did not launch an attack for three consecutive days at this time.

Not to mention the generals, even the soldiers under them could not hold back.

"We must ask them to recruit some soldiers to attack the city."

"Tomorrow we will attack the city, but we must not injure too many people."

"Use all our crossbows to intimidate them. Those soldiers are civilians who were temporarily recruited in the past two days. They will definitely be scared to death."

"When they are no longer willing to fight, we will directly attack the city. Those who surrender will be spared."

"Break the city gate quickly without delay."

"Leave this matter to General Xin Sheng."

"promise."

Xin Sheng couldn't close his two rows of white teeth under the envious gaze of a group of generals.

The other generals who saw this couldn't help but clench their fists.

The next day, the Qin army attacked the city.

"shoot!"

At Meng Wu's command, a row of arrows flew out from the crossbow cart and headed towards the city wall of Chu.

When the Chu army saw the rain of arrows, they were shot dead on the spot before they could react.

"Quick, cover."

King You of Chu received the news and hurried to the city gate.

"My king, this place is dangerous. How can you come here?"

When Zhaohe saw King Chu You, he anxiously turned aside to persuade him to return to the palace.

"I am the King of Chu. Today, as long as the city stands, I am here. If the city falls, I will die."

Although King You of Chu was not familiar with military tactics, he was an extraordinary martial artist.

Wearing a sword at his waist, he stood on the city wall without any fear.

The frightened Chu army calmed down instantly.

Seeing this, Showa stopped trying to persuade him, but instead asked his personal guards to protect the king and then commanded the defense of the city.

Soon, a soldier came running up.

"General, the city gate, the city gate is about to collapse."

Upon hearing this, without waiting for Showa's response, King Chu You spoke: "I will go with you to see. General Showa will take command again."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

The soldier did not dare to delay, glanced at General Showa, then turned around and caught up with the king.

However, the arrival of King You of Chu could not stop the Qin army from breaking through.

Soon, the city gate was broken down from the outside.

"rush"

King Chu watched the city gate being broken and pushed away the guards who wanted to pull him away.

"Today, I will live and die with Shouchun."

As he spoke, he drew his sword and said, "Among the Chu people, there are no cowards who are afraid of death. Follow me and kill them."

A large number of Qin troops poured in, and some Chu soldiers timidly dropped their weapons.

However, there were still some who saw the king like this, gritted their teeth, picked up their weapons and fought with the king.

Xin Sheng led his army into the city and captured the Shouchun city tower in a flash.

Meng Wu led his army directly into the city.

"Those who fight die, those who surrender live."

"Those who fight die, those who surrender live."

"Those who fight die, those who surrender live."

Tens of thousands of Qin troops were full of vigor and their voices shook the heavens.

The Chu army was originally assembled hastily by the people, and now seeing the well-trained Qin army, they naturally felt timid.

After killing a group of Chu soldiers who fought hard, blood rushed to each Chu person.

Many soldiers have automatically dropped their weapons.

On the city wall, Showa's face and body were covered in blood, and the sword was still dripping with blood.

Meng Wu walked up and waved away the soldiers blocking his way.

"General Showa."

"Meng Wu."

When he saw Mengwu, Zhaohe was furious.

However, Meng Wu did not care about General Showa's overwhelming hatred.

He drew his sword and in a moment he was fighting with General Showa.

The soldiers on both sides received orders from their generals, but did not dare to step forward to help, and watched the two generals fighting in the fierce battle.

The weapons collided with each other, sparks flew, but Showa was ultimately inferior to Mengwu in terms of weapons.

Meng Wu slashed at Showa with his sword again. Showa raised his sword to block it. "Ding" Showa's sword could no longer withstand it and broke and fell to the ground.

Meng Wu seized the opportunity and stabbed Zhaohe in the chest with a sword.

Blood gushed out of the wound.

Then Mengwu drew his sword and cut off Zhaohe's head with one stroke.

Seeing that their general had won, the Qin army acted like wolves and tigers, and killed all the remaining Showa guards in just a few moments.

After getting down from the city wall, Xin Sheng and his soldiers had already captured the Chu army.

The King of Chu was still in a state of disgrace, holding a sword in his hand, and was accompanied by four guards and the prime minister Qu Ping, confronting Xin Sheng.

Meng Wu walked up and saw the King of Chu and others surrounded by the Qin army.

"King of Chu."

The King of Chu looked over with red eyes.

"Meng Wu."

These two short words were like the edge of a knife, sharp and powerful.

Meng Wu didn't care about these things. Now he only felt happy.

My father’s revenge was finally avenged today.

"My king is merciful. If the King of Chu surrenders, his life will be spared."

These words successfully made the King of Chu furious.

"Don't insult me, you thief."

"I am the King of Chu. How could I be a prisoner of Ying Zheng?"

"Thief, do you dare to fight me?"

Pushing away Qu Yuan who was blocking his way, the King of Chu still pointed his sword at Meng Wu.

Meng Wu slowly drew out his sword and said, "Of course I am willing."

Their eyes met, and swords flashed.

Qu Ping and others were proud to see their king being so brave.

Xin Sheng led his soldiers to surround their general. Seeing how brave their general was, they all puffed out their chests with pride.

Not long after, the King of Chu was careless and had his hair crown cut off.

"Your Majesty."

"Come again."

With a loud shout, the King of Chu became more and more courageous as the battle went on.

Meng Wu was no less capable.

The two fought back and forth, a life-and-death struggle that made the surrounding Qin army's blood boil.

Especially Prince Jianglu and Li Xin.

Standing on the sidelines, his eyes sparkled, and he wished he could be replaced by General Meng Wu.

The veins on my sword-wielding hand bulged as I tried hard to restrain myself.

After this battle is over, I will definitely learn a lot from General Meng Wu.

Soon, the King of Chu was exhausted and General Meng Wu took away his sword.

Meng Wu's sword was placed on the neck of King Chu.

"Your Majesty."

Qu Ping and others looked nervously at the sword in Meng Wu's hand.

However, the King of Chu still left without fear.

"happy."

"I have no regrets if I could fight Qin's General Meng Wu before I die."

After saying this, without giving anyone a reaction, he took the initiative to meet the sword that Meng Wu held on his neck, and then blood flowed out.

"Your Majesty!"

Qu Ping ran over with his sword in hand and clumsily caught King You of Chu's body, thus preventing him from falling to the ground.

"Your Majesty."

However, the King of Chu, who made him feel helpless but also admired him, never opened his eyes again.

Qu Ping embraced the King of Chu's body and placed it on the ground. Meng Wu had already taken back his sword.

Qu Ping found a clean spot on his sleeve and wiped the dirt off King You of Chu's face. Then he stood up and bowed to the body of King You of Chu.

"I, Qu Ping, have failed to assist the king and govern the State of Chu effectively. This is due to my incompetence."

Then he glanced at the Qin army around him, raised his sword and slashed his neck.
