I, who plundered the heavens, had a hundred thousand dead men

…

On the tower of Jiangning City, Dong Daofu, who was fighting with several dead soldiers, saw the camp with thick smoke burning in the distance.

My heart also sank slightly.

Although there are no combat units in his camp.

However, there are thousands of people in the camp who are responsible for guarding the camp.

And there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the camp who need a month's worth of food and fodder.

Now that the entire camp has been set on fire, it means that his remaining tens of thousands of troops have no way out, and the only feasible way is to capture Jiangning City.

"General, our camp was attacked. Now we..."

"Send an order to the entire army to capture Jiangning to the death."

"Yes, General!"

However, although Dong Daofu's orders were passed down layer by layer, in the hearts of these Forbidden Army soldiers, they already wanted to retreat.

In addition, they have been attacking for several hours continuously from morning to now, and many soldiers' physical strength can no longer keep up.

Now I see that my camp here has been stolen, which must have a great impact on these grassroots soldiers.

After all, these people are not like Li Yang's dead soldiers who can work hard without complaining and risk their lives without fear of death.

Outside the city, in the camp of the Wu Dynasty army, hundreds of black-armored cavalry charged and killed each other wantonly in the camp, and then set the entire camp on fire.

These hundreds of cavalry rushed toward the Wu Dynasty army that was frantically attacking the city outside Jiangning City.

Soon, when these hundreds of black-armored cavalry rushed into the Wu Dynasty army's camp, a one-sided massacre began.

For a time, these Wu Dynasty soldiers who had not yet climbed onto the city wall were defeated by hundreds of black-armored cavalry who suddenly appeared.

And with the support of hundreds of black-armored cavalry under the city wall, the pressure faced by the dead soldiers on the city wall who resisted the Wu Dynasty army's siege was greatly reduced.

With the crazy killing of hundreds of black-armored cavalry under the city wall, in just half an hour, nearly 5,000 of the Wu Dynasty army who was attacking the city through various methods were lost to these hundreds of black-armored cavalry.

.

Each of the black-armored cavalry is a powerful being that can defeat dozens of people with one enemy.

Of these hundreds of black-armored cavalry, only two were unfortunately injured and died.

Facing these hundreds of powerful black-armored cavalry, the Wu Dynasty army was on the verge of collapse.

But if the generals like Dong Daofu continued to insist, these soldiers of the Wu Dynasty might have been unable to hold on long ago.

On a city wall, Zhao Jun, who was commanding the army of dead soldiers, saw this situation and immediately began to summon his level 2 dead soldiers and began to approach the area where Dong Daofu and other generals were located.

Because at this time there were hundreds of black-armored cavalry outside the city leading nearly 10,000 men and horses, the number of soldiers who could scale the city wall was getting smaller and smaller.

Therefore, Zhao Jun can also summon his level 2 dead soldiers to deal with generals such as Dong Daofu.

Generals like Dong Daofu are surrounded by powerful people. Generally speaking, level one dead soldiers are no match for these generals. Only level two dead soldiers can fight with them.

And because Dong Daofu had a large number of soldiers and generals protecting him.

The second-level dead soldiers, who did not have an advantage in numbers, could not take down generals such as Dong Daofu for a while.

But now, with the arrival of the black-armored cavalry outside the city, the pressure faced by the Death Soldiers on the city wall has been reduced by most of it.

It can also dedicate more level 2 dead soldiers to deal with generals like Dong Daofu.

Soon, Zhao Jun recruited dozens of level 2 dead soldiers to join the team that encircled and suppressed Dong Daofu.

There were no new reinforcements coming to Dong Daofu's side, and for a while he was overwhelmed by the army of dead soldiers and was defeated continuously.

"Dong Daofu, you have no way to escape today. If you don't want your generals to be buried with you, surrendering is your best choice."

"Don't even think about it!" Although Dong Daofu knew that what Zhao Jun said was true, it was absolutely impossible to get him to surrender.

Facing the stubborn Dong Daofu, Zhao Jun no longer had to waste words with him.

Directly leading a large number of level 2 dead soldiers under his banner, he continued to encircle and kill Dong Daofu, the remaining defeated generals.

Soon, as the killings continued, only dozens of people around Dong Daofu were left struggling to support him.

As for the Wu Dynasty soldiers in other places around, they could no longer continue to assist generals like Dong Daofu from other places.

Due to the loss of assistance, Dong Daofu, who was already exhausted, was quickly surrounded by nearly a hundred level 2 dead soldiers, who, together with some of the generals around him, were captured alive.

With Dong Daofu and other generals being captured alive, the Wu Dynasty soldiers scattered throughout the city wall also dropped their weapons and surrendered on the spot amidst the shouts of the Dead Soldiers.

At the same time, outside Jiangning City, thousands of Wu Dynasty soldiers who were fighting with hundreds of dead cavalry also laid down their weapons and stopped resisting.

Because not only had their camp been burned down, but the general Dong Daofu had also been captured alive, it was meaningless for these small soldiers to continue to resist.

Soon, as the news spread, more than 10,000 Wu Dynasty soldiers scattered everywhere surrendered.

…

The next morning, in Wudu, above the imperial palace hall.

As for the news about the annihilation of the 50,000-strong army outside Jiangning City, in fact, in the early morning of that night, the Secret Intelligence Department sent the news to Wudu on a fast horse.

Therefore, today's morning dynasty has not yet begun, and the entire Wu Dynasty, both civil and military, has already known about it.

"Your Majesty, from General Dong's tens of thousands of troops defeated Jiangning, it is not difficult to see that the bandits who occupied Jiangning must not be simple bandits. In order to quell the civil strife in Jiangning and Lin as soon as possible, I propose that envoys should be sent to Jingguo immediately.

, discuss peace talks.”

As soon as today's morning meeting was held, after many ministers discussed it for a while, Taishi He Yuanchang stood up and made a suggestion.

"Your Majesty, I second my opinion. The bandit army currently occupying Jiangning and Lin'an is so powerful that even General Dong was defeated here. For the sake of the safety of our Wu Dynasty and Wudu, we should leave to negotiate peace with Jingguo."

"I second the proposal!"

Soon, as Grand Master He Yuanchang came to visit, a group of ministers headed by He Yuanchang also stepped forward to second their opinions.

As for Emperor Zhou Zhe of the Wu Dynasty, who was above the court, he actually knew the news of the defeat of Dong Daofu's 50,000-strong army in the early morning, and he was already determined to negotiate peace.

So when He Yuanchang and a group of ministers proposed and seconded the proposal, he just followed the trend and happily passed the resolution.

"Okay, what Taishi He said is absolutely true. The Jingguo is now powerful, and the bandits in Lin'an and Jiangning are obviously supported by the Jingguo behind them. In order to restore peace to the world of our Wu Dynasty as soon as possible, the peace negotiations must be accelerated."

"I have to trouble Grand Master He for this specific matter."

However, how could He Yuanchang, who was below the court, miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal with Qin Siyuan.

"Your Majesty is negotiating peace with Jingguo. Naturally, I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's instructions. However, due to our army's defeat in Jiangning, I am afraid that I have angered Jingguo."

"So, the next peace negotiation with Jingguo may not go smoothly. When Wei Chen contacted the historian of Jingguo before, the historian of Jingguo threatened that if he wants to negotiate a peace, he must add a condition to the peace negotiation.

, let the Prime Minister be a pledge, stay in Jingguo forever and never return to the court."

"Originally, the matter of peace negotiation has not been finalized, so the minister did not mention it to His Majesty. Now that our army has suffered another defeat in Jiangning, if we want to negotiate peace with Jingguo at this time, I am afraid we must satisfy Jingguo's unreasonable request.

Already."

"It's just that this will force the Prime Minister to be a vassal."

However, as soon as He Yuanchang finished speaking, the ministers below the court who supported Qin Siyuan immediately exploded.

Before the real leader Qin Siyuan opened his mouth, they immediately stood up to refute.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin is the prime minister of our Wu Dynasty. How can he go to the enemy's country to stay as a hostage minister? Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

Above the court, when Zhou Zhe saw this scene, his whole expression changed for a moment.

I saw Zhou Zhe pondering for a moment and lamenting with a sad expression on his face.

"Of course I know that the Prime Minister is an important minister of our Wu Dynasty. If we let the Prime Minister go to Jingguo to serve as a pledge, it will naturally bring shame to our Wu Dynasty."

"But now the Jing State is so powerful that it not only hoards hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses at the border of our Wu Dynasty, but also invades our territory, causing our Wu Dynasty to lose two cities in a row and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even General Dong is now

Captured by thieves."

"I really don't want more people and soldiers of my Wu Dynasty to bleed and die!"

Although Zhou Zhe's words did not indicate that Qin Siyuan should go to Jingguo to serve as a vassal, his approach of retreating in order to advance had forced Qin Siyuan to accept it as a vassal.

"Your Majesty, if I can exchange peace for our Wu Dynasty with just one person, I am willing to go to Jingguo."

"Prime Minister Qin!"

The minister who supported Qin Siyuan was about to say something more, but was directly stopped by Qin Siyuan.

"Your Majesty, I hope that before I go to Jingguo, Jingguo can release General Dong who is trapped in Jiangning and many soldiers of our Wu Dynasty. I hope that Grand Master He can contact Jingguo as soon as possible. As long as General Dong and I who are trapped in Jiangning

If many soldiers of the Wu Dynasty can leave Jiangning and return to Wudu, I will go to Jingguo."

"Prime Minister, the Wu Dynasty has suffered a defeat right now. It is not easy to negotiate terms with Jingguo at this time. However, since the Prime Minister is so concerned about the safety of our soldiers, I should do my best to win over Jingguo."

In fact, He Yuanchang had never had any contact with Jingguo's envoys at all, and the proposal to make Qin Siyuan a hostage was entirely his own idea to take this opportunity to get rid of Qin Siyuan.

However, although He Yuanchang did not get in touch with the Jingguo envoy, he was confident that as long as he took Qin Siyuan with him to Jingguo this time, everything would naturally go as he wished.

And now that he agrees to Qin Siyuan's request in exchange for Dong Daofu and many Wu Dynasty soldiers, it is completely expedient. Even if it fails, he will have a way to deal with it.

When Emperor Zhou Zhe heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved and quickly agreed.

"Then I have to ask Grand Master He to facilitate this matter as soon as possible. Alas! Just doing this will make things difficult for the Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty, if I can exchange for the peace of my Martial Dynasty with just one person, I will have no regrets."
