Overgod Ascension

Boom...bang!

The boulder was thrown high and fell on the Pingshi County Gate Tower.

Amidst the thunderous noise, countless fine pebbles flew across the sky, carrying astonishing kinetic energy and passing through the fragile bodies of the surrounding guards. The thin leather armor and single clothes could not resist it at all.

In the flesh-and-blood purgatory, County Lieutenant Xiang Fu was stunned to see that the city tower was crumbling and suddenly collapsed.

"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!"

This scene was naturally very morale-boosting. The siege troops outside were all shouting excitedly. Only Xiang Fu and Huang Ziping had cold hands and feet. For the first time, they were wavering on whether they could hold on until reinforcements arrived.

"very good!"

When the building collapsed, it was completely a matter of luck, but it was enough to satisfy Chen Jingzong. In the eyes of the soldiers here, it represented some kind of destiny.

"Each person in the artillery brigade will be rewarded with two taels of silver! Give it to me to continue!"

Chen Jingzong issued orders repeatedly.

Boom! Boom!

With the roar of the trebuchet, huge rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms were continuously thrown onto the city wall.

Some boulders even roared all the way, directly over the city wall and smashed into the city, causing mourning all over the land.

"Those who dare to retreat will die!"

Xiang Fu, with his hair disheveled and a long sword stained with blood in his hand, killed two deserters: "Be loyal to the court today!"

He grasped the city wall with both hands, and his nails seemed to be deeply embedded in the hard rock wall: "Damn...why is this happening?"

On the 100th anniversary of the Great Wednesday, there are still loyal ministers and martyrs everywhere.

At this time, he put aside the honor and disgrace of life and death, and stood on the city wall with red eyes: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Even if the enemy army enters the city and relies on street fighting, they can still kill thousands of them! Haha... I want him to be buried with us. ah!"

The losses during the siege would be huge, and if there were street fighting, it would be even more tragic.

It’s just that if the enemy suffered such a heavy defeat, they would definitely come back with fierce revenge in the city. No one in the big family would be spared, and they might even massacre the city! Who is willing to take this road if it is not the end of the road?

The people below looked at each other, almost thinking that the county captain was crazy.

Boom!

At this time, another huge boulder was thrown, and a huge shadow immediately enveloped Xiang Fu.

"Um?"

A huge boulder weighing over a hundred kilograms fell from the sky. The speed and power were astonishing to the extreme, and it almost arrived in the blink of an eye.

At this time, even though Xiang Fu had practiced martial arts and even reached the realm of Wai Gang, all he could do was to draw a sword and block it in front of him.

Bah!

The three-foot green blade rippled with sparks on the boulder, cutting nearly an inch of sword marks, and then inevitably broke into two pieces!

boom!

Immediately, the boulder fell down unceremoniously, completely crushing Xiang Fu underneath, and blood spilled everywhere!

Even if he is a great master, facing this trebuchet, he will die even if he fights hard, let alone Xiang Fu who is still in the physical state!

"The county captain... the county captain is dead!"

"The county captain died in battle!"

However, Xiang Fu's identity was important, and his death immediately caused a terrible panic in the city.

Countless soldiers screamed in terror, their remaining morale dissipated, and they collapsed and fled.

This commotion immediately attracted Chen Jingzong's attention.

He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily: "Haha... destiny is mine!"

His face suddenly condensed, and he said solemnly: "The whole army attacks! We will seize this county today!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The morale of the Nanfeng Army was greatly boosted in waves, and like black ants, they pressed towards the top of the city...

…

"What? Xiang Fu was supervising the battle at the front line, and a huge rock fell from the sky, and he was killed?"

In Pingshi County, Huang Ziping almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard the news, and his whole body was shaken.

"What a pity! What a pain! A loyal minister and a righteous man are envied by Heaven. Is it true that our country, the Great Zhou Dynasty...is it really the time to revolutionize the tripod?"

Huang Ziping burst into tears and bowed three times towards the city head: "Brother Xiang, you have a good journey, I will be here soon!"

"Master! Let's escape while the city is still intact, shall we?"

At this time, the people around Huang Ziping were all close family members. They looked at each other and couldn't help but suggest something.

It's not that they don't want to abandon their master's family, it's just that the relationship will be damaged at this time. If Huang Ziping dies here, where will there be anywhere in the world for them to go in the future?

"I won't leave!"

Huang Ziping said categorically: "I'd rather trouble you to send my wife to the east gate..."

He is the head of a county. According to the system, the county magistrate has the responsibility of guarding the land. This escape really makes him a criminal.

If he did not die, the family would not be able to hold their heads high in the future, so they had already made up their mind to live or die with the county.

Bang bang!

"good!"

At this time, a group of armored soldiers rushed in. The coldness and murderous look on their faces made the faces of the surrounding diners suddenly change.

"The county magistrate is indeed a loyal minister of the imperial court!"

When the county magistrate entered, he had a look of admiration on his face and said leisurely.

"I knew you would come here..."

Huang Ziping looked at the soldiers around him and smiled to himself: "They obey your orders. Obviously everyone in the city has already switched to you, right?"

"Exactly!"

The county magistrate looked into Huang Ziping's eyes and was speechless. He could only bow deeply: "The county town will be destroyed within three days. Sir, you must be a loyal minister, but we must consider our wealth and life... Even if it is you , aren’t you also making arrangements for your family’s escape at this time?”

Huang Ziping was silent for a moment and then said: "I have a wife and a young son..."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, your wife will be taken care of by me!"

The county magistrate paid his respects again, his face full of sincerity.

"That's fine!"

The county magistrate smiled bitterly and turned into the inner hall. Soon after, news came that he had hanged himself.

"He is a smart man!"

The county magistrate murmured and sighed, and smiled bitterly when he saw the official seal and other things on the desk.

More than a month ago, I still coveted this position and authority, but now it seems that this seal is also a life-threatening talisman in troubled times!

"uncle!"

At this time, his nephew came over, with a slight smell of blood on his body, and an even more ruthless look on his face. He made a gesture: "Several families in the city have joined forces and have taken control of the soldiers... All the officials who are not convinced are also here." …”

He immediately made a murderous gesture.

"good!"

The county magistrate sighed softly again: "Go down and open the city gate. As agreed, we will surrender to Nanfeng Army... please!"

…

On the battlefield, the originally closed city gate suddenly opened.

There was a faint cry of killing in the city, and then it disappeared again.

"General Qi!"

As soon as the order came, there was a slight excitement in his voice: "The county captain of Pingshi County died in battle, the county magistrate forced the county magistrate to be killed, led the civil and military officials to open the city gates, and surrendered to our army!"

"very good!"

Chen Jingzong ordered to suspend the attack, but the expression on his face was not very relaxed. At this time, there were still many fake surrenders, and you would fall into the trap if you were not careful.

At this time, a group of civil and military personnel came out from the city gate. The leader was the county magistrate, holding the county magistrate's seal and a pile of documents.

When he saw Chen Jingzong, he immediately knelt down and said: "...The county magistrate resisted the heavenly army, knew that he was committing a serious crime, and hanged himself...I present the big seal ultimatum and ask the general to take it in..."

"Haha... Your Excellency, you deserve merit for not guilty!"

Although he looked down on this person in his heart, Chen Jingzong would not understand the old wisdom of a thousand gold horse bones. He immediately stepped forward to help the county magistrate up with a smile on his face: "According to our military system, your Excellency, you defected in battle and then stood up again." If you have made great contributions, you can be promoted to the first level. At this time, please go to see the Jiedu Envoy first to familiarize yourself with the political affairs. In the future, you will be sent to the county magistrate. We are officials in the same government, and we still have something to be taken care of!"

"So... I thank you for your great kindness!"

At this time, I didn't expect to be able to serve as a county magistrate.

The county magistrate was startled, but then he came back to his senses and secretly thought that if he went to see the Jiedushi, and visited and trained him, he would directly divert him away from the vital point.

Even if he can still be a county magistrate in the future, he will definitely not be able to be in Pingshi County.

However, this is also common sense. I accepted it happily and carefully handled the defense delivery and other matters. At night, Chen Jingzong's five thousand troops successfully entered Pingshi County.

"Pingshi County has been under fire, the general is so powerful! We will congratulate the general!"

That night, a banquet was held as usual, and all the civil and military officials congratulated one after another.

"Thanks to the power of Lord God, I was able to achieve a small victory this time. Don't let your guard down, generals. There will be many battles in the future. If you have the opportunity to gain fame and name your wife immediately!"

Chen Jingzong was unfazed by favors and humiliations, and he had the air of a general. After entering the city, he dealt with the situation in a measured manner. He ordered people to put out fires and treat people, strictly enforced military discipline, suppressed the streets, and appeased big households. Everything was done in an orderly manner, and everyone else nodded secretly.

"Shuncheng, what do you think about today's battle..."

After the banquet, Chen Shuncheng walked with Chen Jingzong in the garden.

"My uncle used his troops like a god, like a boulder crushing an egg, and the county town fell instantly... My nephew admires him!"

"Our Nanfeng Army is already elite and has experienced great wars. Naturally, it is not comparable to this mere county soldier..."

Chen Jingzong sighed: "In today's battle, our army used its cutting-edge force to defeat the enemy's blunt force. It was all the result of the commander-in-chief's strategizing... However, the hard battle is still to come!"

After conquering Pingshi County, it officially bordered Dingyuan County.

Dinghou Shitai will definitely not sit still and wait for death. He will definitely mobilize his army and fight to the death.

The reinforcements from Nichinan County and the state soldiers in the prefecture are also reorganizing, and they will attack in large numbers at any time.

Therefore, Chen Jingzong said that a war was coming.

"That's it for this battle, the key is the next city!"

Chen Shun Chengdao.

In ancient times, war was like a snowball. The first bone was the hardest to crack, but once it was cracked and established a reputation, it would become smoother and smoother in the future. It was even possible for the county or city to surrender without a fight.

Wu Pheasant and Shi Tai have a son-killing feud, and women are often criticized for being in charge of government. Therefore, Dingyuan County must resist resolutely. In other words, the real touchstone for Wu Pheasant's fight for world supremacy will be the next time he attacks Dingyuan County. Fight.

"good!"

Seeing that his nephew had this insight, Chen Jingzong was very happy: "The command given to me by the commander-in-chief is just to defend this city! Tomorrow, she will lead an army of 15,000 to join us and hunt down Marquis Ding in Dingyuan! "

There was a firm determination in this tone, which made Chen Shuncheng a little surprised. He didn't know why his lord had such confidence.
