Lin Tian entered the city, and the situation changed completely.
Wei, which originally had a slim chance of survival, was now utterly finished.
Once Lin Tian entered the city gates, they could no longer close them.
At this moment, although there were many Wei soldiers in front of Lin Tian, he had no fear and attacked directly, slaughtering them wantonly.
It was only then that the Wei soldiers truly understood Lin Tian's terror.
Not a single one of their soldiers could withstand even one move from Lin Tian.
Lin Tian alone was enough to shatter their army formation.
Although many Wei soldiers rushed to the city gate to try and close it,
Lin Tian's presence made it impossible for them to do so.
Not only that, but a large number of Qin soldiers followed closely behind Lin Tian.
They were pouring into Daliang continuously, and eventually, the entire city gate of Daliang was occupied by Lin Tian's army.
At this point, the Wei army had completely lost its defensive capabilities. All they could do was fight to the death against Lin Tian's army.
This was undoubtedly a terrifying piece of news for the Wei soldiers.
If they could win the fight, why would they have closed the city gates and defended Daliang?
Now that Lin Tian's army had broken through, they couldn't win and could only try to escape.
"Go, you go inform the King to leave first!!"
"Then what about you, General?"
"We will go mobilize more soldiers to resist the Qin army!!"
The so-called mobilization of more soldiers was merely an excuse.
What they truly wanted to do was not to mobilize soldiers, but to pack their money and families and flee the city.
Staying here was clearly a dead end.
Therefore, they wanted to take their families and wealth and find a way to survive.
As for informing the King of Wei, it wasn't because they wanted the King to escape with them, but rather a gamble. If the King was also fortunate enough to escape, they might have a chance to rise again in the future.
The Wei soldiers, unaware of the generals' true intentions, immediately went to inform the King of Wei as they were instructed.
The King of Wei, engrossed in his pleasures, panicked upon hearing the soldiers' report.
"What? The Qin army has broken in? How is this possible? Our Daliang is protected by high walls and deep moats, how could they have gotten in?"
"We are not yet sure, but ten Qin soldiers did appear inside Daliang and opened our city gates! Following that, the Qin army poured in!"
"What should we do? What do we do now?"
"Your Majesty, our immediate priority is to escape and save our lives!!"
"Escape? The Qin army has already broken in? How can we escape? I am the King of Wei, how could they possibly let me go!!"
If it were someone else, they might have had a chance to escape.
But the King of Wei was different.
As the King of Wei, he was the most important figure in the Wei state.
The Qin soldiers might let others leave, but they would not let him, the King of Wei, go.
Thinking of this, the King of Wei's heart turned to ashes.
However, he glanced back and saw the panicked beauties behind him, which stirred him.
He then sighed and said,
"Alas! At this point, our Wei state has no hope of recovery!!"
"The Qin have absolute initiative. If we resist, more of us will die!!"
"Order our soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender directly!!"
"I believe that if we surrender, the Qin will spare our soldiers. Our Wei soldiers will not suffer any more casualties!!"
The King of Wei spoke with great compassion.
It was as if he was reluctant to sacrifice the Wei soldiers and did not want them to pay with their lives.
His words moved the Wei soldiers deeply.
The soldiers who had come to deliver the message never expected that the King of Wei would abandon his royal dignity and surrender directly for the sake of his soldiers' lives.
This made many Wei soldiers feel grief and indignation.
"Your Majesty, how can we surrender so easily? How can we allow you to be disgraced?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, we are willing to fight to the death, we are willing to fight our way out for you!!"
"Your Majesty, if you wish, we will escort you out of here right now, and we guarantee your safety!!"
These soldiers were prepared to die to protect their King.
Many of them decided that even if they died, they would ensure the King's safe escape.
Their words, however, greatly alarmed the King of Wei.
He had no intention of fighting his way out and fleeing.
After learning that Lin Tian's army had broken in, he was shocked, and then, he reverted to his previous intention of surrendering to Great Qin.
If he surrendered, he would surely live.
In fact, he might even have beauties to accompany him for the rest of his life.
Therefore, he had only spoken some superficial words to these soldiers.
He never expected that these superficial words would so move the soldiers that they would be willing to die for him.
This was not what the King of Wei wanted, and it was absolutely unacceptable.
So, he quickly said,
"There's no need, no need for this!!"
"Our Wei state has reached such a state, we cannot let you sacrifice your lives for Wei any longer!!"
"Go home and reunite with your families!!"
"Although Qin has killed countless people and many nobles, they are truly good to the common people. Go and live well with your families!!"
After speaking, the King of Wei turned to the beauties behind him and said,
"If any of you wish to leave, you may do so. If you wish to stay, wait here for me!"
"I will go and find a way out for the people of our Wei state!!"
The King of Wei spoke with great grandeur, as if he was about to undertake a profoundly significant task.
He looked like a general who would not hesitate to charge forward.
However, when he actually reached Lin Tian's army, he immediately knelt down.
"I am the King of Wei, I am the King of Wei, and I am willing to surrender to Great Qin!"
"Stop killing, stop killing, give our common Wei soldiers and people a way to live!"
"I am willing to represent our Wei state and surrender to Great Qin!"
After saying this, the King of Wei knelt on the ground with a thud, signifying his submission.
Lin Tian was not particularly moved by his demeanor, but many Wei soldiers' eyes turned red.
Because they heard their King begging for a path to survival for them.
For this path, he had abandoned his dignity as a king.
This made many of them feel that their previous efforts to fight for the King had been worthwhile.
