Chapter 1364: Occupation of Pingshan

Zhao Ke knew that it would be impossible to defend Pingshan with just their two thousand men.

In order to have a chance of survival and stop the advance of Yun Zheng's army, we must mobilize all the people in the city to help defend the city!

Anyone who can breathe, come and defend the city!

Yun Zheng has many soldiers and generals, so he will use the human wave tactic to wear Yun Zheng down!

Listening to Zhao Ke's words, the county Sima couldn't help but feel nervous.

He originally wanted to persuade Zhao Ke, but after hesitating for a moment, he obeyed the order and left.

Zhao Ke was not idle. He immediately ordered people to move all the weapons in the armory to the city wall.

At that time, all those weapons will be distributed to the people who help defend the city.

Zhao Ke knew clearly that as long as they blocked Yun Zheng's first wave of offensive and broke the myth of Yun Zheng's invincibility, these soldiers and civilians would gradually lose their fear of Yun Zheng, and the morale of Yun Zheng's troops would drop rapidly.

No matter how hard it is, you can't let go of the first breath.

"Brother, who do you think is the one who is plotting a rebellion?"

While carrying the weapons, a soldier asked his companion in a low voice.

"Who knows?"

His companion said worriedly: "No matter who is plotting a rebellion, we are the ones who are in trouble now! This is only the prince's vanguard, he has another 200,000 troops behind him..."

Not to mention the 200,000 troops behind Yun Zheng, just the densely packed cavalry in front of him was enough to make one's scalp numb.

Yun Zheng was already known as the best general in the world, and he also commanded the most elite troops in Daqian.

Fighting with Yun Zheng is like hitting a rock with an egg.

"I don't think the prince would rebel, right?"

The soldier looked around and whispered, "If the prince really wants to rebel, how can he care about the lives of us? With 20,000 troops raining arrows down, how many of the people on the city can survive?"

"Yes!"

The companion nodded slightly and whispered, "Let's see what the situation is first. When the time is right, surrender. Don't joke with your life and property."

Yun Zheng said that whoever follows Zhao Ke to resist stubbornly, after the city is broken, all nine generations of his clan will be killed!

They didn't think that they could defend Pingshan with such a small number of men.

Yun Zheng is not ordering people to attack the city now, which is giving them a chance!

The two men were talking in low voices, and several soldiers not far from them were also whispering.

Everyone has similar ideas.

Facing Yun Zheng, the world's number one general, Pingshan will definitely not be able to be defended!

Zhao Ke is Zhao Ji's cousin, so he has to fight.

But these people are different!

They have nothing to do with Zhao Ji.

Why should they risk the lives of their nine clans to accompany Zhao Ke?

Who doesn’t care if he becomes emperor?

More than an hour later, the county Sima came to report to Zhao Ke.

"What? No people are willing to help defend the city?"

Zhao Ke's face changed drastically, and he cursed angrily: "Short-sighted! These short-sighted lowly people! Do they think that if Yun Zheng conquers Pingshan, they can survive?"

Zhao Ke was so angry!

He had originally thought of using the human wave tactic to hold back Yun Zheng, or break Yun Zheng's teeth.

As a result, no one in the city was willing to help defend the city?

How could they defend Pingshan without the help of the people?

Before Yun Zheng's follow-up troops arrived, Pingshan would probably be breached.

"Ugh……"

The county Sima sighed helplessly and didn't know what to say.

This cannot be blamed on the people.

Yun Zheng’s prestige and reputation are there. Even they feel that Pingshan cannot be defended, let alone those ordinary people?

Knowing that they will lose, who would be willing to die meaninglessly?

If they do not help defend the city, Yun Zheng will not make things difficult for them when the city is broken.

Moreover, under Yun Zheng's governance, the people of Fuzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment. Many people had even been looking forward to Yun Zheng's attack on Juzhou.

In this situation, it is completely understandable that the people are unwilling to help defend the city.

"Then go and capture some strong men!"

A hint of madness flashed across Zhao Ke's face: "Anyone who dares to resist will be killed immediately!"

"No adults!"

The county commander hurriedly dissuaded him: "If you do this, it will surely provoke a popular uprising!"

Zhao Ke was furious and shouted, "If we don't do this, are we just going to die?"

Zhao Ke also knew that if he forcibly conscripted young men, it would likely cause a civil uprising.

But the problem is, if they don't allow those cowardly people to help defend the city, the two thousand of them might not be able to withstand even one round of enemy attack.

Seeing Zhao Ke's extremely ugly face, the county commander hesitated for a moment, and finally said tentatively: "Sir, how about we just... open the city and surrender?"

Surrendering the city may be the best option.

If Zhao Ke took the initiative to open the city, Yun Zheng might spare his life.

If you resist stubbornly, you will only die.

"what?"

Zhao Ke's eyes suddenly turned cold, "You want to surrender to the traitors?"

"grown ups……"

Facing Zhao Ke's gaze, the county Sima felt a little scared.

However, at this moment, two young generals came towards them with a group of soldiers.

Upon seeing Zhao Ke, one of the young generals immediately raised his hand and pointed, "Capture Zhao Ke! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

As the young general gave the order, the soldiers behind them rushed straight towards Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "How dare you, you want to..."

brush!

Before Zhao Ke could finish his words, the county commander suddenly drew his sword and put it on Zhao Ke's neck.

Since everyone has the same idea, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

It’s better for the bounty to fall into your own hands than to fall into the hands of others!

No matter how bad it is, you can still get a piece of the pie!

"you……"

Zhao Ke looked at the county Sima in disbelief, hardly able to believe his eyes.

"My lord, stop resisting!"

The county commander's voice gradually turned cold: "Among these two thousand brothers in the city, no one is willing to die with you!"

"Traitor! You are all traitors!"

Zhao Ke roared in anger: "You traitors, you must not die a good death! In the history books of the future, you will be cursed for eternity!"

"The history books of later generations will not record little people like us." The county commander shook his head: "We little people just want to survive in this world and not become victims of big people like you!"

"Correct!"

The young general who led the troops came forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has expanded the territory for our Daqian and made great contributions! I believe that the traitor is not your Majesty, but you!"

As he was speaking, another young general ordered his men to tie up Zhao Ke.

He also specifically ordered the soldiers to cover Zhao Ke's mouth to prevent him from complaining.

The county commander thought for a moment, then said to the two men with a smile, "How about if the three of us capture Zhao Ke together?"

"no no……"

A young general shook his head and smiled: "It was all of us who worked together to capture the traitor Zhao Ke!"

The county commander was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly: "Yes, yes, we all captured him together! We have admired the prince for a long time, but we have never had the opportunity to surrender to him!"

There is a huge difference between turning from evil to good and selling out for personal gain!

The two young generals looked at each other and grinned at the same time...
