martial arts general

Chapter 147

Zhao Jiuxiao immediately asked, "What weakness?"

Gongsun Wuji: "That's speed. The armor of the phoenix armored soldiers is very heavy. Although they are not afraid of sharp arrows and swords, they are too slow to fight long-distance raids."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "So that's the case. If you want to defeat a strong enemy, the artilleryman is the best thing to use."

Gongsun Wuji: "Exactly, in addition to artillerymen, our army's tiger and leopard cavalry can also outflank and constantly attack the enemy's formation, making it impossible for them to maintain a good state."

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled: "Gongsun Shaoxia is right!"

After the discussion, he immediately ordered his soldiers to repair the damaged ship and prepare to go to Langhai City.

For the next ten days, all went well.

All battleships were repaired and soldiers restored to health.

The Million Fleet finally successfully landed in Wave Sea City.

The forts in the city could not withstand the successive bombardments of countless warships and were quickly blown up.

Zhao Jiuxiao also ordered 40 tiger and leopard riders and 40 crossbowmen to land in the city. In addition, there were [-] artillerymen.

And these people are the key to deal with Fengjia soldiers.

The general of Langhai City led his soldiers to surrender.

Zhao Jiuxiao also readily accepted.

Next, his army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and captured countless cities in the Zhennan Kingdom, and finally came outside the Zhennan King City.

There are 40 towns guarded by southern troops.

Among them are mainly 30 Fengjia soldiers and [-] archers.

They are the last support of Emperor Lu Qingxuan.

After Zhao Jiuxiao surrounded Zhennan Royal City, he also wrote a personal letter asking Zhennan Emperor Lu Qingxuan to lead all civil and military officials to surrender.

In the letter, he promised that if the other party surrendered, he would let Lu Qingxuan be the prince and enjoy wealth forever.

But Lu Qingxuan did not accept this opinion.

He wrote a letter in reply to Zhao Jiuxiao, saying that he had already made up his mind to die, and asked Zhao Jiuxiao not to embarrass the people.

Seeing this letter, Zhao Jiuxiao was speechless and could only lead the army to attack.

This day has finally arrived.

Zhao Jiuxiao sneered and issued the order to attack the city.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The artillerymen's cannonballs landed on the city wall one after another, and the crossbowmen's arrows rained even more continuously.

Many archers of Zhennan Kingdom on the city wall were killed by shells.

But they still held on to the city, unwilling to surrender.

The tiger and leopard cavalry launched a fierce attack, and soon broke through the city gate and entered the city.

But as soon as the tidal cavalry rushed in, they were resisted by the Fengjia soldiers.

These troops are all wearing phoenix-patterned armor, which is extremely strong.

They hold heavy swords in their left hands and large shields in their right hands. Their steps are heavy and their defense is extremely high.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry charged and killed them repeatedly, but did not hurt them at all.

Most of the Fengjia soldiers did not fall, only a few died.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Jiuxiao already knew the key to the current problem.

He immediately ordered the artillerymen to move forward and bombard the Fengjia soldiers.

"Boom boom boom!" The shells fell one after another, killing many enemies alive.

Although the armor of the Fengjia soldiers was not blown to pieces, the shock wave of the shells directly killed the soldiers inside.

For a while, the defensive power of the Fengjia soldiers dropped sharply, without the previous power.

They also knew the pros and cons of it, and rushed over immediately, wanting to get close to the artilleryman.

But under such a situation, these people were unable to break through the obstruction of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

For a time, Feng Jiabing was in a dilemma.

They can't go forward, and they can't go back.

The disadvantage of speed is completely released.

Under Zhao Jiuxiao's command, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry fully implemented the outflanking tactics. They did not forcefully fight the enemy, but charged repeatedly, making the enemy's formation even more chaotic.

As the situation waxed and waned, more and more Fengjia soldiers died.

This most elite Zhennan Kingdom army also fell into a defeat.

The archers of Zhennan Kingdom are no match for the crossbowmen of Tiansheng Kingdom.

Most of the archers were killed by the bursts of crossbow arrows.

The battle soon became one-sided.

Zhao Jiuxiao stood there, staring at the situation in front of him, with many thoughts in his heart.

In the end, all the Fengjia soldiers were killed and died under artillery fire.

There were not many remaining archers left, and they were forced to surrender.

Tiansheng Kingdom's 80 troops occupied the Zhennan King City.

Zhao Jiuxiao immediately ordered the army to move on and capture the palace.

The guards of the palace were not opponents at all, and they fell one after another.

Zhao Jiuxiao also came to the palace under the escort of the crowd.

At this time, he saw the exquisite and elegant palace setting.

Whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or opera art, there is something here.

Zhao Jiuxiao was dumbfounded, and marveled at the imperial palace of Zhennan Kingdom.

And he also entered the core position of the palace.

Inside the main hall, I saw an emperor sitting on a dragon chair, wearing a white dragon robe, with sadness and indifference in his eyes.

He was very young, with a very fair face and red eyes, as if he had just cried, and his whole body was full of gentleness.

Zhao Jiuxiao guessed the other party's identity, it was Lu Qingxuan, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Meet Your Majesty."

Lu Qingxuan smiled wryly: "I am not worthy to be the emperor of Zhennan Kingdom, and I am ashamed of the past emperors."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Your Majesty, since you have been defeated, how about accepting it calmly, becoming a prince, and joining our Tiansheng Kingdom?"

Lu Qingxuan shook his head: "I didn't want to be the king who subjugated the country, but I did it anyway. Now that things have happened, I have nothing to say. I can only ask General Zhao for two things."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Lu Qingxuan: "First, treat the people of Nanguo well in my town, and second, don't indiscriminately kill the ministers who surrendered to you."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Okay, I promise you, Your Majesty."

Lu Qingxuan was satisfied and said with a smile: "Very good."

After speaking, black blood suddenly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Jiuxiao secretly screamed that something was wrong and hurried forward.

But Lu Qingxuan was already bleeding from seven orifices, and died of poison.

Before he died, his expression was still calm.

Zhao Jiuxiao couldn't help closing the opponent's eyes: "Come here, give Your Majesty a lavish burial."

The soldiers immediately stepped forward and carried Lu Qingxuan's body away.

When Lu Qingxuan died, all civil and military officials chose to surrender.

The conditions that Zhao Jiuxiao agreed to before made them feel at ease.

Zhennan Kingdom perished.

After conquering another kingdom, Zhao Jiuxiao stood in the palace, looking at the dragon chair, with a mixture of fondness and lamentation in his eyes.

Lu Qingxuan was not a king of inaction, but he was still defeated by him.

Zhao Jiuxiao also thought of his next target, Feihai Country.

Today, among the many kingdoms in the world, he has already conquered three of them. As long as he gets Feihai Kingdom again, he can become the overlord of the sea and obtain countless wealth and taxes.

At the same time, Zhao Jiuxiao also decided to strengthen trade to make exchanges between different regions more convenient.

After the fall of Zhennan Kingdom, Zhao Jiuxiao selected a group of upright officials from Tiansheng Kingdom to manage this area with the help of local officials.

At the same time, he also sent martial arts disciples to secretly monitor their every move.

After getting ready, Zhao Jiuxiao left here and returned to Tiansheng Kingdom by boat.

He is ready to conquer Feihai Kingdom.
