Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 804 Three Kills
  The eyes under the gauze of the ceremony were fixed on Gu Xun, and he replied in a deep voice, "It is common sense for soldiers to defend their home and country. As a senior figure in the world, Mr. Gu has no need to intervene in the dispute between the two countries."

"Protect the home and the country..." Gu Xun repeated these four words, laughed and shook his head and asked, "May I ask General Dianqing, whose home are you protecting, and whose country are you defending?"

Jianqing's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and he was about to answer.

Gu Xun got ahead of him and took the lead in saying:
  "You continue to carry on with your life now. You are only protecting King Wei's family and country. As for the people of Wei, your relatives and friends may not end well."

Dianqing had suppressed the wavering in his heart just now, and replied unmoved at this time, "If the king exists, the Kingdom of Wei will exist. As a general of Wei, Dianqing has no reason to retreat."

"Really?" Gu Xun asked, "You should also know what Wang Ben's soldiers were doing before, right?"

Without the need for Dianqing to answer, Gu Xun continued directly:

"Modify the river course."

"Wang Ben intended to use the dense waterways around Daliang City to use water attacks to deal with the indestructible Daliang City."

"Then do you know what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in the city if this plan succeeds and Daliang is flooded with water from the chasm?"

"When Daliang City is soaked with water and can no longer hold on, that is when the Wei State surrenders, then the King of Wei will be fine, and of course the high-ranking officials of the Wei State will also be fine. However, ordinary people How many people will be killed or injured?"

"Or do you think that the city wall of Daliang City, which can block the tiger and wolf troops of Qin State, can also block the water flow?"

"..." Dianqing pursed his lips a few times, unable to speak.

The city wall can protect against people, but it cannot be waterproof.

The King of Wei pretended to wait for the dignitaries of Wei State to live in the palace city, which was the highest place in the city and could not be affected by floods. In other words, when they were about to face flooding from the river, it was almost time for Wei State to surrender.

But the people outside the palace city...

Not only Dianqing, but the armored disciples who came from behind to surround Gu Xun also heard these words. Their reactions were even more excited than Dianqing's, but in the end they still didn't speak and just looked at their senior brother.

In recent years, the Pijia Sect has been extremely dissatisfied with the Wei court. If Dianqing hadn't suppressed them, they probably would have stopped working for the King of Wei.

Seeing this, Gu Xun struck the railway while it was hot, "I never like to participate in wars. This time I helped the Qin army break the city just to save the people of Daliang from being flooded."

"The main force of the Wei army north of the Yellow River has been held back by General Wang Jian. Self-protection is still a problem, let alone returning to Daliang."

"Once Wang Ben's flood plan is implemented, at least tens of thousands of people will be killed and injured as the price."

"Are you willing to see this scene, Dianqing?" Gu Xun asked.

After a period of silence, Dianqing retorted calmly, "If it really comes to that point, Wang Ben is the one who did everything, and he is the culprit!"

"Ha!" Gu Xun chuckled, "Do you still expect General Qin to consider the life and death of you Wei people?"

"The most important thing is that King Wei is desperate to defend the city. If he is thinking of ways to save the country and survive, then it will not be a loss for you to accompany the king to die for the country."

"But he is just trying to survive for himself. He hides in the palace every day and dreams of life and death. He can dream of his dream of being a king for as long as he can. The life and death of the people... haha!"

Everyone in the armored sect became even more excited.

They are not afraid of dying for the country and resting with the country. However, the King of Wei... Until now, he only knows how to hide in the palace and play with dogs.

Play with dogs!

Even if the other party indulges in wine and sex, they won't be so resentful.

Wei was about to fall and the overall situation was decided. They thought it would be more meaningful to think more about the people of Daliang City.

After all, they are soldiers, and it is enough to die for the country, so why bother dragging tens of thousands of people with them.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and the blindfolded ceremony is equivalent to closing this window, and Gu Xun cannot observe his thoughts through this.

However, feeling the obviously lowered aura on the other party's body, Gu Xun knew that his words still had an effect. It’s a pity that a ceremony is still a ceremony, and his stubbornness is the same as his hard work, which is unparalleled.

With a dance of the Heaven-Suppressing Sword, Dianqing swept away the depression on his body and replied firmly, "I can't refute Mr. Gu's words, but since Mr. Gu will break Daliang City today, please step over my body."

Gu Xun couldn't help shaking his head and sighing secretly.

This group of pre-Qin people really relied on stubbornness to establish themselves. Han Fei was like this, and the ceremony was like this. If the country is not destroyed, their dreams will not be destroyed.

Can't we learn from those capitalists in later generations who have flexible moral bottom lines and principles of conduct?

Having said that, Gu Xun didn’t want to say any more.

Wait until Wei falls and try to persuade him again.

At this time, the Wei army finally deployed enough crossbowmen, some at the city gate and some on the Fangcheng wall, to attack Gu Xun from both sides.

Thousands of arrows rained at Gu Xun in an airtight manner, and there was no fear of accidentally injuring friendly troops.

Jianqing and his junior brothers are the strongest backbone of the Armored Sect. They are capable of hitting chariots per capita, and they are completely indifferent to a few rounds of arrow rain.

But Gu Xun... doesn't care anymore.

Facing Wei Jun's useless struggle, Gu Xun shook his head slightly, and then his body suddenly burst into golden light, and a huge golden bell rang with thunderous sounds, appearing in everyone's eyes.

The magical power of the Seven Sons - the golden bell!

All the arrows that hit Gu Xun lost their kinetic energy under the sound of the bell and fell to the ground feebly.

The disciples of the Armored Sect were also shocked to the point where their ears were ringing and their eyes were dazzled. They felt that their inner aura was surging, and their hard skills were about to be broken.

At the same time, the huge golden bell crashed straight towards the ceremony, or rather, towards the city gate behind him, but he happened to be in the middle.

Among the people present, he was the only one in relatively good condition.

Seeing that Gu Xun was completely unstoppable by human power, he resolutely waved the Heaven-Suppressing Sword and faced him.

As the country is destroyed today, so must people be destroyed!
  Boom!

Just a loud noise was heard, and in the blink of an eye, the defensive gate of Daliang City burst open and collapsed to the ground.

Also falling with the city gate was a tall figure.

He was lying on the ground, motionless, not knowing whether to live or die.

Just after the gate of Fang City was broken, the Qin army also successfully broke through the outermost gate and broke into Fang City.

At this point, Daliang City was officially defeated.

Countless Qin troops poured into Daliang City along the city gate passage.

As the outer city fell, the morale of the Wei army stationed there also plummeted. It was no longer possible to organize an effective resistance, and they would soon die, escape, and be injured.

The most common ones are, of course, captured.

After initially taking control of the inner and outer cities, tens of thousands of Qin army elites surrounded the palace city where the Wei Palace was located.

The leader of the Qin army, Wang Ben, pretended to surrender to the King of Wei on behalf of the King of Qin.

Before long, the last king of the Wei State went on leave, opened the palace gate, presented his seal to ask for surrender, and the Wei State officially declared its demise!
