Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 468 468 Two Days
It's just that this process will be extended. The 5 days and 7 days mentioned by Li Jun are actually just some "expectations" in this regard.

On the one hand, he hoped that his troops could hold on for a while longer, and on the other hand, he also hoped that the Tang army could slow down the advance due to fear of casualties, or throwing rats.

Hearing Li Jun's explanation, Zheng Tong's fragile and sensitive expression began to twitch again.He suddenly grabbed the cup in front of him and fell to the ground.

Li Jun remained silent, Zhang Ming was still immersed in the horror of the city's destruction just now, when he suddenly heard the cracking sound of the cup, he was startled.

He looked at Zheng Tong, who threw the cup, and found that the king, who had become a little distracted in the past two days, wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

In fact, long before the Battle of Tongcheng broke out, he had thought about the possibility of ceding all the land east of Tongcheng and seeking peace with Datang Group.

It's just that at that time it was impossible for Zheng Tong to agree to cede half of Zheng Guo in exchange for time to survive.At that time, Zheng Tongman's mind was all about fighting back, to regain the lost territory!
Zheng Tong can tolerate the loss of an overseas island, or even the loss of all islands, but it is absolutely impossible for him to tolerate the easy loss of the inland land.

Of course, if it's just a little bit, he might still be patient, but the east of Tongcheng is probably half of the country of Zheng!
By now, Zhang Ming could see clearly that if he were the decision makers of Datang, he would not have ceased fighting during the Battle of Tongcheng.

Even if Zheng Guo is willing to pay tribute and cede half of the country, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to stop fighting and make peace.Because Datang is already ready to devour the state of Zheng, how can there be any reason to eat half of the meat in his mouth?

Now, at this moment, there is only one royal city left in Zheng Guo, and it is even more impossible for Datang to let Zheng Guo negotiate terms.

Therefore, although Zhang Ming opened his mouth, he still didn't have the suggestion to go out and talk to Datang.

It's just that he was a little reconciled, not reconciled to the sudden... ending of the matter.

Zhang Ming looked at Li Jun beside him, and after the crazy Zheng Tong dropped all the cups on the table and broke out of the room, he lowered his voice and continued to ask: "Is it really impossible to keep it? Wan Dajun...can no longer..."

Li Jun glanced at Zhang Ming and shook his head: "If there is another way, why don't I try it? Now, what I do now is just dying."

"Alas..." Zhang Ming sighed.

Almost at the same time, Li Jun also sighed: "Oh..."

"Can't... just hang on for a few more days?" Zhang Ming, who was still unwilling, asked again, as if she was a resentful woman who didn't want to break up.

"Let me...try it... I can last for a few days, just a few days." Seeing his old opponent talking to him in such a tone, Li Jun suddenly felt a little better, and seemed to have a little more strength , so he said.

It is a pity that it turns out that Li Jun guessed wrong whether it is the combat power of his troops or the determination of the enemy troops.

On a quiet night, some people were frightened and some could not sleep all night. There was no sound of cannons or echoes of gunshots. It seemed that everyone was waiting for the dawn of the next day.

Sure enough, as soon as the sun rose the next day, the cannons of the Datang troops reverberated again.This time, there are artillery pieces from the Tang army in all directions of the Wangcheng, and the number of cannons seems to be double that of yesterday!
Dozens of city walls were blown down, and then Zheng Jun began to surrender in an organized way... Li Jun had imagined that the troops could withdraw to the city and start street fighting with Tang Jun.

But in fact, at noon the next day, about 5000 Zheng Jun deployed inside and outside the city wall surrendered, and the situation was not under his control at all.

Everything deviated from the original plan. Li Jun took people to go around in person, only to find that almost all the troops began to appear in chaos.

Some troops were retreating into the city, but because of the chaos, 1000 people retreated, and when they arrived at the retreating place, 300 people were considered good.

The soldiers were taking advantage of the chaos and fleeing, finding a corner to take off their clothes, it was almost as if they were out of the sea of ​​suffering.

This kind of army is still good, and it is a little worse. Hundreds of people directly raised the white flag, did not even enter the city, and went directly to the back of the Datang Group's troops to eat steaming meals.

In the afternoon, the 1st Infantry Division of Datang had entered the city and controlled the southeast corner of the city, almost a quarter of the city.

After dinner, when the sky was getting dark, Tiger got the battle report of the day: Tang Jun accepted the surrender of 11000 Zheng Jun soldiers on this day, and killed more than 700 people who resisted.

Just looking at these cold numbers, Tiger knew that Zheng Jun had completely collapsed: Yesterday, Zheng Jun fought fiercely for a day, losing 3000 and surrendering more than 9000.This ratio shows that Zheng Jun is still organizing resistance, but the data of the next day shows that Zheng Jun has collapsed.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that it was already late today, no matter how good his troops were at fighting, it was impossible to attack while the iron was hot at night.

He could only wait for dawn before continuing to attack Zheng Guo's royal city - no matter how impatient he was, he was unwilling to make fun of the lives of precious soldiers.

What Tiger didn't know was that the current city of King Zheng had fallen into chaos.For Zheng Guo's high-level officials, this night is destined to be uneventful.

Zheng Tong is crazy!

The king of Zheng Guo took his cronies and found Li Jun among the chaos, and then shot Li Jun without asking why.

Naturally, there were cronies around Li Jun, and as soon as the gunshot rang out, the people on both sides immediately broke out in flames.Regardless of Zheng Jun's poor combat effectiveness against the enemy, he is still very effective in fighting among his own people.

At this time, the Tang army stationed in the city was taking advantage of the last bit of light to receive the refugee civilians and surrendered soldiers in the city. As a result, gunshots rang out in the distance!
Before Tang Jun could figure out the situation, Zheng Jun had already decided the winner!

Zheng Tong and his cronies were killed on the spot by Li Jun's personal soldiers, and then Li Jun, who was slightly injured, led his troops to Zheng Tong's palace without stopping.

The rebel army directly defeated the forbidden army guarding the palace, and a tragic melee broke out between the two sides.The red-eyed Li Jun finally broke through the palace and chopped up Zheng Tong's wife and children.

Li Jun, who was already insane, killed 33 concubines of Zheng Tong and all seventeen or eighteen sons and daughters of Zheng Tong in one go, then he thought of Zhang Ming again.

So, he led his troops to look for Zhang Ming all night again!In the end, because of the riots in the city, Zhang Ming was so frightened that he abandoned his house and ran away overnight with his family, so Li Jun searched all night but failed to find Zhang Ming's family.

It was indeed impossible for him to find him——Zhang Ming had nowhere to go, and surrendered to the Datang Group in the early hours of the morning.

After killing all night, Li Jun finally remembered that there was an army besieging the city outside the city.So he gathered the troops he could gather, sent someone to deliver the letter, and simply surrendered to the Datang Group.

In order to make himself more valuable, the general of Zheng Guo also brought Zheng Tong's body with him.It all happened so fast and suddenly that Tiger wasn't ready for it.

He really didn't expect that this war to devour Zheng country would end in such a ridiculous ending.

Li Jun, who has been trying his best to play the role of loyal minister, and Zhang Ming, the unwilling prime minister, met at the headquarters of the Datang Group in such an embarrassing manner.

Li Jun, who still had bandages on his shoulders, looked at Zhang Ming, who was dressed in civilian clothes and had shaved his beard, and couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"You said five days, seven days...the result is only two days?" Zhang Ming didn't know that Zheng Tong was dead, and asked with a sneer at Li Jun who was in a panic.

"I don't argue with you. You are lucky. You are not running fast enough. I will kill you tonight!" Li Jun snorted, regretting that he could not kill this old opponent in the end.

Zhang Ming was startled, and heard something from the word Ye, and stared at Li Jun: "You! How dare you kill the king?"

"Zheng Tong doesn't care about indiscriminate, he leads people to find me, just raise his hand and shoot!" Li Jun stared at Zhang Ming with red eyes, like a beast: "If my son didn't stop me, I would be the one who died! My son died because he saved me, so it's not too much for me to kill his whole family?"

Hearing Li Jun's words, Zhang Ming staggered back, all the way to the side of the table, stretched out his hand to support the edge of the table, and managed to stand still.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it—he believed everything Li Jun said was true, he believed it just by looking at those eyes...

So he lowered his head dejectedly, finally sighed and stopped talking.

Tiger sent a telegram to Longdao that night, reporting to Tang Mo the good news that the Battle of Zheng Guo had ended.

In the early morning of the next day, the Tang Kingdom's troops began to enter the city, Zheng Guoguo was destroyed, and only a few sections of the remaining walls of the Zheng Kingdom's city were hung with dragon flags.

Without much resistance, the people of Zheng Guo naturally accepted the rule of the Tang Kingdom, and they also naturally accepted their new identity as Tang people, because they did not have a good impression of Zheng Guo.

Before the countries of the world had time to digest the sudden emergence of a Datang Kingdom, they heard the shocking news that the Datang Kingdom had annexed Zheng.

Now, a new problem facing the rulers of the trade alliance countries is how to deal with their relationship with the Datang Kingdom!

It is a concept to award the territory and port to the nobles of the country, or lease it to a consortium, but it is another matter to give one's own port territory to a kingdom for free.

Before, they could put their ports or territories in the hands of the Datang Group, which did not involve sovereignty issues.But now, these places are all extremely rich, and there are legal territorial disputes...

Who can be indifferent?
-
Well, the two shifts are finally restored today, let Long Ling rest up first, and start paying back the debts in a few days... Sigh... The number of shifts owed is increasing. It is really sad to hear and cry.
