Zhi Xuan

The Bei'an army was unstoppable, and more and more Nanyou clans were defeated and fled.

Some clans were afraid of a strong enemy, and fled in a hurry before the army crossed the border, leaving the fief and going straight to Nandu City.

Judging from the development of the battle situation, the southern capital may not be safe, and sooner or later the army of the Northern Anguo will approach the city.But everyone has no choice.There may be a glimmer of life if you escape, but if you don't escape, you can only die in battle or become a prisoner.

It's okay to meet Shi Zizhen and Xian Bao, but if you meet Gong Zi Hao, the chances of being a prisoner are very few.

According to rumors, Gong Zihao's troops are extremely brutal, from top to bottom are murderers, killing people without blinking an eye.It is easy to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, and no one can be the enemy in the charge.

A few Nanyou clans didn't believe in evil, and they either lured them or forced them to recruit them. They used a two-pronged approach to convene the subordinates to organize defenses.

The defenders waited for work with ease, thinking that the city was solid and could delay the opponent's troops and cause casualties to the army.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao did not order a strong attack, but placed dozens of stone catapults outside the city, cooperating with the siege crossbow, and bombarded the city indiscriminately.

Huge boulders roared towards them, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Black arrows flew out of the sky and smashed into the city one after another, with astonishing power and soul-stirring power.

The face of the enemy has not yet been seen, and hundreds of defenders are buried on the top of the city.Luckily, he survived and was terrified. Not to mention fighting with the enemy, he couldn't even hold the weapon firmly. He rushed down the city wall crying and desperately trying to escape.

Jia Chang beheaded several people in a row, but he still failed to stabilize the situation, and instead exacerbated the chaos.

"kill!"

The soldiers who rushed out first fell in a pool of blood, and the eyes of the rest of them were red, and their fear reached its peak, and they all turned into anger.Regardless of the continued attack outside the city, the soldiers grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the chief armor who was blocking the way.

The situation was completely out of control, and Doctor Xia immediately turned around and fled behind Chief Jia at an astonishingly fast speed.When he fled, he kept his head down and covered his face with his sleeves, and he didn't see the previous bravado, as if someone else was shouting and drinking at the top of the city.

Jia Chang was single and weak, and no matter how good his skills were, he couldn't stop the soldiers who fell into madness. He was soon chopped off his arms and fell under the crowded crowd.

Someone took the lead, and more and more soldiers escaped.Many soldiers were mixed in the team, some fled voluntarily, and some were coerced by the crowd.

"Escape, escape!"

The defenders fled in haste, throwing away their helmets and armor along the way.

After a short period of shock, the servants who had been recruited by force rushed away, picked up the grain bag before leaving, and strode forward with two legs, not slow at all.

The commotion at the top of the city was so loud that it attracted the attention of the army outside the city.

The scouts climbed up and looked around, and found that the defenders were in chaos, and it was not an exception, it was like this on all four walls.I don't know if there is any fraud, so I immediately reported it to Zhao Hao.

"Is it messed up?" Zhao Hao held the horsewhip in his hand and tapped his palms one after another.The cold wind hit his face, and the cloak was lifted behind him, and the scarlet lining was blown out.

"My lord, there is chaos on all sides, and there are no defenders on the southeast side."

The scout had experienced many battles and thought he was well-informed, but the situation in front of him puzzled him.

Before the battle, the city put on a defensive formation. The defenders had bright armor and weapons, and they looked full of momentum.Everyone thought that they were very excited when they encountered a hard bone.

Who would have imagined such a development.

The enemy may not be able to catch it, and the army was a little discouraged.

The reason for this kind of emotion is that the Nanyou clan ran so fast that the chariot could even rush out of the afterimage.Zhao Hao's troops accelerated their march, but they still couldn't catch up with these scuds.Often when the army drove over, the city was already empty, and no one could be seen.

At first, the army felt very relaxed, and sneered at the Nanyou clan's fear of war.

After many times, everyone realized that something was wrong.

The enemy ran away, how can you harvest the head?

How to calculate military exploits without a head?

The military exploits cannot be counted. What are they doing to Nanyou after trekking across mountains and rivers? Are they marching in arms?

This time going south, the whole army is going all out, the goal is to gain military exploits.After gaining a lot of military exploits, soldiers can be promoted, and they can also exchange for more land, food and money, which are used to develop and strengthen the family.

As a result, the Nanyou clan fled without a fight, each running faster than a rabbit.

The scouts explored the way for the army and went out frequently.If you are lucky, you may occasionally encounter three melons and two dates.

Not so with the army.

In particular, Gong Zihao's tribe was passed down by the people of Nanyou as a vicious and evil spirit.From running when they saw the battle flag to fleeing when they heard the wind, there were only empty cities left for the army, and it was even more difficult to make military achievements.

Similar situations kept happening, and the whole army reacted, and was immediately enveloped in depression, almost falling into a dead end.

Doctor Qing had no choice but to go to see Zhao Hao.

So what can Zhao Hao do, he can't help it.Because he hadn't received a reply from Zhi Xuan for a long time, he was even more depressed, as if a black energy was lingering around his body, and a thoroughly fierce spirit descended into the world.

The main general's murderous aura is overflowing, and the soldiers' evil aura is piled up.

The tens of thousands of troops marched silently, with black clouds covering the top, and the low pressure seemed to have substance.

In this way, the rumors about the army are more solid.

As a result, the Nanyou clan ran even faster, not to mention human figures, they couldn't even see a hair.

The faster the Nanyou clan ran, the more depressed the army became.The more depressed the army was, the more evil spirits around them became stronger, prompting the Nanyou clan to escape faster.Under the vicious cycle, even the Nanman people were frightened by the rumors, no longer thinking about taking advantage, packed up the camp overnight, and ran with the Nanyou clan.

The two sides had a feud, and when they fled, they tacitly avoided each other.

The destination of the Nanyou people was Nandu City, and most of the Nanman people hid in dense forests or fled to the seaside.Some tribes even prepare wooden boats, and if the land is not safe, they will immediately go to sea to escape for a few days.

In this case, let alone the military exploits, the enemy will have to go over mountains and mountains to find them.

It is not difficult to understand the general's excitement when he finally meets a warrior who dares to resist.Many people even rubbed their eyes to make sure that they were not hallucinating, and their excitement and joy were beyond words.

Happy to be happy, Zhao Hao did not act recklessly.

After observing the location of the city, Zhao Hao roughly deduced the layout of the city. Instead of launching a strong attack, Zhao Hao ordered people to launch stone catapults and siege crossbows.

The catapults and siege crossbows were all purchased from Zhixuan, and there were dozens of craftsmen in the army who were responsible for guarding and maintaining the siege equipment.

According to the experience of the national war, this kind of tactics is quite satisfactory, and the strike force is slightly stronger, but it is not too much.Zhao Hao's army did not have building vehicles and battering rams. In contrast, these two are the big killers across the ages.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly elite defenders could not even bear this blow.

In just half a day, more than half of the prepared boulders and wooden stakes were left, and Huo Gong had no chance to play at all. The defenders were the first to be confused, and they raised their knives to slash each other.The damage caused was no less than that of Ying Xiao, and all the layout of the city was disrupted.The two city walls were even more empty, except for the broken weapons, there was no one left.

The fleeing defenders caused chaos in the city again.

Because the clan was determined to resist and blocked the city gate in advance, most of the city residents did not leave.

Facing the attacking army, everyone was very anxious, and their emotions were tense all the time.

Some boulders crossed the city wall and fell into the city, destroying houses and causing casualties.Fortunately, there are not many of them, and the city residents can still grit their teeth and hold on to the last hope.They didn't want the defenders to flee suddenly, and even before the Bei'an army attacked the city, chaos broke out first, and they rushed to the top of the city.

This situation is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

The city dwellers fell into despair, and under the despair, their behavior was no longer under control.

Hearing the report from the retainers, the clan drove over in person, and found that the city was on fire, and the doors of all the workshops were wide open. People, common people and even slaves rushed into the street.Some people took advantage of coaxing and looting, which further aggravated the chaos.

The whistling sound of the boulder has stopped, the army outside the city has not launched an attack, and the crowd is still panicked and unable to calm down.

Driven by uneasiness, the crowd rushed to the city gate, disregarding the clan's anger and soldiers' interception, they moved away the barriers in front of the gate, pushed open the city gate with all their strength, and rushed out like a tide.

Things happened too fast, and the army outside the city couldn't expect it.

Seeing the crowd rushing out of the city, the soldiers outside the city looked at each other and looked at Chief Jia in unison.

What's happening here?

To fight or not to fight, to chase or not to chase?

If the ones escaping are soldiers and soldiers, naturally there is no need to hesitate, just rush forward and swing the knife.The problem is that most of them are city dwellers, as can be seen from their clothes, many of them are ordinary people.

When the two countries confront each other, the city must not be massacred except under special circumstances.

Population is very important, even more than land.

If the land is gone, it can be taken back, and if it cannot be taken back, it can be redeveloped.The population is different, you can't be resurrected if you kill it, and if you kill too much, it will attract condemnation.

Because of this, Xianbao ordered to kill Nanyou, so all countries would sympathize with Nanyou.If the Ying family hadn't been treacherous and Zhao Hao had been poisoned by a poisoned arrow and passed out, Xianbao would have been accused by thousands of people, Bei'an Kingdom's reputation would have been damaged, and the clans in the world would have rejected it.

Taking the previous incident as an example, the chiefs did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and could only wait for Zhao Hao's order.

The crowd didn't wait too long, and the orderlings received orders one after another, galloping their horses back and forth in front of the formation, conveying Zhao Hao's password: don't stop, let go!

The order was like a mountain, and the whole army immediately formed a team, stayed in place, and watched the crowd go away.

The defenders were mixed among the people, and they looked back at the flame-like army, feeling very complicated.But the footsteps did not stop, and they still followed the crowd all the way south, getting farther and farther away from the city.

The clan did not leave, including his family, subordinates and guards, all stayed in the city.

When the crowd came to an end, Zhao Hao rode his horse forward and passed the wide-open city gate.

Finding hundreds of people left in the city, Zhao Hao did not send anyone forward, but grabbed the reins and stopped in place.

The clan was originally standing in the car, seeing this scene, couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"Patriarch..." a retainer said hoarsely.

"Come on." The clan shook its head at him, stepped off the chariot, untied the sword with his own hands, and took off the hair crown.Walking on foot to Zhao Hao's horse, after cupping his hands, he raised his sword and a jade ring over his head.

"Xi Shiji, please surrender."

The Xi clan is very powerful in Nanyou Country, and Xi Ji, as the head of the family, has already occupied the high position in the year of his founding.

He was supposed to be in the southern capital, but now he appeared in the fiefdom, and even went against the path of the clans.

When others were busy fleeing, he took the initiative to call his subjects to resist.

His behavior is a bit weird, whether he is sincerely for the country or has other plans, it is difficult to determine for the time being.However, after Zhao Hao accepted his surrender, the Xi family was able to escape from the chaos.Even though the reputation was damaged, the family blood was preserved.

Zhao Hao didn't mind if Xiji was acting. After accepting Xi's surrender, he continued to lead the troops.In order to save time, they didn't even send anyone to take over the city, as if they were not worried that the Xi family would surrender falsely, nor that they would surrender and rebel.

Xiji explained to his family, asked to see Zhao Hao alone, and offered to stay in the army.

He took himself as a hostage to reassure the clans in the army.At the same time, for the sake of the family's future, he is willing to work for Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao agreed to Xiji's request, and after some arrangements, he ordered the army to set off.

When the horn sounded, Zhao Hao jumped on his horse.

Just a few miles ahead, a familiar cry suddenly came.Immediately afterwards, a chubby carrier pigeon descended from the sky and landed on Zhao Hao's shoulder.

Seeing the wooden tube on the carrier pigeon's back, Zhao Hao was in a good mood, and the black air wrapped around his body was swept away.When riding the horse, the spirit is high, the smile is blooming, and the moment is like spring flowers blooming, the ice and snow melt, and the beauty is unparalleled.
