Red Heart Survey

Jiang Changyong, the guard of the Outer Building Realm, died instantly. The token to open the city defense formation was within reach of his waist, but he never touched it again.

The big ballista defending the city was safe and sound, no matter how tight the strings were, how could they be loosened.

The black nightmare ash can that can extinguish Dao Yuan, the red fire oil can that can burn qi and blood...all the expensive defense weapons have not moved a bit.

Under Chong Xuansheng's command, the Desheng Battalion quickly seized every key point in the city, and before the city's defense system reacted, it had already completed the de facto occupation.

Liu Dayong's mood is hard to describe.

There was no anger at all - before there was time to be angry, everything was over.

He saw the Qi army in ruins, walking freely through the entire city... like the real master of the world!

He saw that the resistance in the entire Ximing City...was almost non-existent.

Some waves were set off, and they were all crushed immediately... Then there was Jinghai.

The entire Ximing City turned out to be a peaceful sea.

The person dressed as Xiao Ling looked completely different after drawing his sword and before drawing his sword. It's really terrifyingly strong. Even the city lord of Ximing City was killed in a single encounter...

He doesn't seem to need to be afraid.

Because that cunning fat man didn't seem to have any intention of killing him—not only that he didn't intend to kill him. Except for the initial period of controlling the city defense, the Qi army hardly killed a single extra person.

Of course, the fat man was not soft on the senior officials of Ximing City, as well as some soldiers of the Xia army who refused to surrender and fought bravely.

What Liu Dayong felt was more bewilderment.

He came here to serve the country and vowed to kill the Qi thief, but the Qi thief was by my side. Even... the guard of Ximing City became a little less vigilant because of him, Liu Dayong!

For a moment, he wanted to pull out his butcher's knife and fight to the death.

But the fat general of Qi who dragged him into the city didn't have any defense against him—why should he be on guard?

And this was the reason why he was at a loss and wanted to cry without tears.

Extraordinary monks must come from the common world, but in the face of extraordinary weapons, the strength of ordinary people is so limited!

He has the strength to kill pigs and dogs with one arm, and before the extraordinary armed force, he is so fragile that he is pitiful.

The fat man finally gathered all the guards of Ximing City... There were more than 8,000 people in total.

These people were driven out from all corners of the city, all disarmed, and held in the school yard.

The soldiers of the Victory Battalion formed into a battle formation guarded with swords.

The ballista defending the city was transported down and aimed at them...

"Cough!" The fat, cunning general from Qi State looked at these leaderless and frightened soldiers of Xia State, and said with great momentum: "You have two choices, submit to my great Qi, or say to me' No'!"

There was a moment of silence in the huge school grounds.

The bravest ones have already died in the first round of resistance.

At this moment, no one stood up to say 'no', and no one stood up to take the lead in submitting.

Chongxuan Shengxiao expressed emotion and moved reason: "Xia territory was originally the land of Qi, Jing Guo forcibly interfered, so we were separated for many years! Our army of millions from Qi came east to conquer the old land, which is where righteousness lies and invincible!

Jianfeng Mountain, which was guarded by Min King Yu Liyang himself, was broken in a day. The heavily guarded Fengjie Mansion changed flags within three days. The so-called Zhen Guojun has been disabled. Tongyang City, where King Wu Sijiao personally sat in charge, couldn't last a day with the defensive array!

I was able to call here and explain what, you should all know! That's right, after the surrender of Ximing City, the entire territory of Linwu Prefecture has been acquired by Daqi! "

"My Great Qi recruits talents from all over the world, and I have always been inclusive. All those who have a heart for Da Qi are all Qi people, and there is no distinction between them. Now that you surrender, you are no longer precarious Xia people, but Qi people with your heads held high ! Not only can you save your own life, but you can also save your family during this turmoil!"

Jiang Changyong is a good general, and the soldiers he leads can be regarded as having backbone.

Although Chong Xuansheng spoke in a hype, but not many people are willing to believe him. There are so few who have wavered, and in this environment, they dare not stand up.

After all, the Qi army will leave eventually, but their family members in their hometown are always here-yes, in the hearts of most Xia people today, they don't think that the Qi army can really occupy this land.

Chong Xuansheng talked dryly for a while, but it had no effect. Intentionally or unintentionally glanced at those ballistas...

Soon someone ran out scrambling: "I am willing to surrender to Daqi! I am willing!"

This time he took the lead, and five or six hundred people ran out immediately.

Good guy, it turns out you took this trick!

Sisi, who was standing next to Chong Xuansheng, silently moved the heavy sword in front of him to increase its deterrent effect. With just a slight relaxation, the epee has already pressed a hole in the ground!

Chong Xuansheng pointed with a smile: "Those who surrender to Daqi, stand to my left. Those who refuse to surrender, stay where they are."

There is a bit of liquidation in these words.

In the end, nearly 800 people passed by.

The remaining soldiers of the Xia army, although they had made a choice, couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

And Chong Xuansheng said again: "Those who submit to my Daqi now will retain their military positions, fields, and real estate! When my Daqi regains the whole territory, those who refuse to submit and those who stubbornly resist will all be refugees! Therefore, there is no food, and everything starts from the beginning! Of course, whether you submit or not is entirely voluntary, and this general will never force you."

As soon as these words were said, more than three hundred people walked over.

Chongxuansheng said slowly: "I forgot to tell you one thing, my name is Chongxuansheng. I have an uncle who treats me like my own, named——Chongxuan Chuliang!"

huh huh huh.

The school grounds were suddenly crowded with people.

There were more than 3,000 people, and they fled to the side of surrender.

In an instant, the converts reached more than half of the defenders of Ximing City.

The name of murderous massacre, as far as this is concerned!

Chong Xuansheng's eyes looked over again, even those who gritted their teeth and did not choose to surrender, trembled in unison!

"Brother Wang." Chong Xuansheng's voice was very calm, with a tone of discussion: "These are all soldiers who have undergone military training. They can fight with weapons. If they refuse to surrender, it will be a big trouble. It’s not easy to allocate troops to guard them. Tell me, shouldn’t they be killed?”

After all, he learned the art of war from Chong Xuan Chuliang, and when it comes to massacres, there are no waves.

"I disagree." Jiang Wang first expressed his attitude clearly, and then said: "You also said that the benevolence of the battlefield is not to kill for unnecessary things."

"Uncle, when he entered the country alone, he used his killing to establish his prestige. Wherever he went, he was slaughtered. In the shortest time, he pierced through the Xia Kingdom's rear, which led to the defeat of Xia's army. But it also led to the subsequent collapse of Qi When the army marched into the Xia Realm, they encountered fierce resistance in every place..." Chong Xuansheng sighed: "Whether we are right or wrong, let time judge."

With a wave of his hand, he gave an order: "These people who refuse to surrender will be concentrated and detained. First fill the prison, put the rest in shackles, and then tie the rest with ropes...but don't hurt their lives. Because Qi Xiaben One case, in the near future, this will also be my Daqi people!"

After Chong Xuansheng brought up the name of murderous slaughter, some people were indeed ready to fight to the death. But I didn't expect that in the end, I was only detained, and my emotions were agitated for a while, and my legs were inevitably weak.

"Qi Xia's original sect?" Jiang Wang was a little curious about Chong Xuansheng's statement.

"Brothers who have abandoned the darkness for the light and surrendered to Daqi, please come with me!" Chong Xuansheng greeted.

Then he said to Jiang Wang as he walked: "To be honest, in the ancient times, the human race was one, and they fought against the monster race together. How could there be any distinctions? People in the world are one family! But the Taoist calendar is newly opened, and the national system has been in existence for thousands of years. The identity has changed. It is far away from our Emperor Wu's recovery of Qi, and it is close to that of Kangshao's recovery of Liang... I don't need to talk about those. In today's era, we Qi Xia has one family, and we can start from the state of Yang."

"This is also a part of Yan Xiang's plan to reconcile and destroy. Both Qi and Xia have divided up the inheritance of Gu Yang, which can be regarded as the orthodoxy of inheriting Gu Yang. This saying has been circulating in Xia for many years... The so-called Qi Xia is originally Zong. We are here to regain our homeland and unite with the clan. The reason why Yan Xianghe participated in this battle is because he also participated in the strategy against Xia, so of course he has to come to witness."

He also smiled after speaking.

This is quite ridiculous.

At the time of Xia Kingdom's heyday, it did straddle the southeast and southeast regions, but it was only a small country in the southern region that rose to power at the earliest, and it had an inseparable relationship with Yang Kingdom. Just taking advantage of the collapse of the Yang Kingdom, he rushed up to eat a few mouthfuls of fat... How is it to inherit the orthodoxy of Yang?

Emperor Wu of Qi even resolutely distanced himself from Gu Yang in the melee of "Gu Yang's orthodoxy" back then, saying that the new country of Da Qi represents the future trend, has its own glory, and does not need to be contaminated with any glory of the ancient country... ...How can it be orthodox again now?

But many times, people just need a reason, a flag, or even just a fig leaf.

If there is no saying that "Qi Xia belongs to one sect", there must not be so many people who surrendered this time.

Then again...

Back then when the Xia Kingdom fought for hegemony in the Eastern Region, the banner it played out was indeed the orthodoxy of Yang. The Xia army ran rampant in the Eastern Region, and what they said was to restore the old view of the Great Yang and reproduce the glory of the ancient empire.

I have to say that history is a cycle, always making people dress up repeatedly.

The roots are extremely deep, and the surface floats in the water. If you can't see the story behind it, maybe you can only feel the absurdity.

Jiang Wang realized that the theory of "Qi Xia is originally one sect" is also a very crucial part of this national war. For the failure to swallow the land of the Xia Kingdom back then, Qi's monarchs and ministers have no idea how long they have examined themselves.

This time, Xia Xia was really well prepared in all aspects.

Rather than saying that the battle of Jingmu gave Qi the opportunity, it is better to say that Qi has been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, not today, but tomorrow.

The thirty-two years of Xia Guo's so-called "not forgetting to advance eastward" are even more thirty-two years of Qi Guo's sharpening sword!

So let go of its strong support, cut off its diplomacy, kill its body, destroy its spirit, destroy its dangerous barriers, conquer its mighty city, swallow thousands of miles of fertile soil, and point its sword at the thousand-year-old society!

...

There are a total of 4,300 city guard soldiers in Ximing City. At this time, they chose to surrender. When it comes to the number of people, it is even more than the victory camp.

Captives have been a difficult problem on the march since ancient times. The more captives there are, the harder it is to write the correct answer.

It is impossible to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

Joining the ranks will only affect one's own combat effectiveness.

Form an army alone, are you afraid of turning back?

It costs food to lock them up, and we have to allocate troops to guard them...

No wonder Zhongshan Yanwen, a famous general of Jing State, said——

"It is better to make good use of captives than to be a brave general in a hundred battles."

It can be seen that how to deal with captives can best reflect the quality of generals.

Chong Xuansheng compiled these people together, simply lined up a queue, and led the army directly to the tower.

"I have already given the opportunity. You have already made the choice. From now on, I will use military orders to regulate everyone. I think all the brothers are reasonable people, so I won't be accused of indiscriminate killing!"

After finishing his murderous words, Chong Xuansheng put on a gentle smile: "Everyone who joins my team is a brother. Brothers, this large formation for protecting the city does not match my horoscope, so I can't rest in peace. Can you help me?" Will you relieve my worries?"

He wants to drive these people to completely destroy Ximing City's protective formation.

The large formation on Jianfeng Mountain was destroyed at the beginning, and it failed to restore its old appearance for a year. If the protective formation of Ximing City is destroyed, it is almost foreseeable that it will be impossible to use it again in this war.

The harm this incident did to Xia Guo was almost irreversible.

This can be called a certificate of honor!

Among the crowd was a former city guard general who gritted his teeth and said, "If this is done, there will be no turning back! General Chongxuan, how can I be sure that your previous promise to us is reliable?"

Chong Xuansheng laughed, stretched out his hand to the side: "Do you know who this is?"

"In the 3919th year of the Dao calendar, the leader of the Yellow River. Daqi Qingyangzi, the third-rank Jingua warrior, and the fourth-rank Qingpai headhunter, Jiang Wang is also! In order to save his friends, he once went to the lost world alone, killing the sea tribe and killing him. Hai Xun Bang. For Yi Nuo, I once had a life-and-death struggle with Wang Yiwu, my disciple of the Great Qi Army God. He ascended the dragon first, then the inner palace, and won consecutive victories! Jing Shitai accused him of possessing demons, and the three punishment palaces proved his innocence."

"This person's faith is known all over the world!"

"I promise you, as long as you are sincere. You will keep your military posts, fields and houses, and save your family members from military disasters. This statement is proved by Jiang Wang!"

"He and I are close friends, brothers and sisters. Even if I don't care about you, I will cherish his reputation."

"So, do you still have any doubts?"

Jiang Wang stood in front of the people and didn't speak.

But the city guard general looked at him for a while, and without saying a word, he walked to the node of the large formation for protecting the city - he was naturally familiar with this large formation.

These people first surrendered and then returned to obedience. They have already passed several rounds of obedience tests, and they are basically used to obeying Chong Xuansheng's orders.

With someone taking the lead, the entire descending army soon moved into action.

The sound of ping-pong-pong soon resounded up and down the tower.

Those who defended the city in the past are the ones who destroy the city today.

If there is spiritual wisdom in the big guarding formation, it will be hard to describe.

For Zhong Xuansheng, it seems that there is nothing that cannot be used to its full potential. From as small as Liu Dayong in a remote mountain village, to the name of a reinforcement general from Fengjie Mansion who met on the road, as large as the situation of the entire Qixia battlefield...

Fame is of course also a weapon.

The same is true of Chongxuan and Chuliang's fierce reputation, and so is Jiang Wang's trustworthy reputation.

Using almost all the things that can be used, will present such an easy result of seizing the city.

But this is just the beginning.

Now is the time for Chong Xuansheng to show his talent.

He supervised the whole process, and after confirming that the protective formation was completely destroyed, he regrouped the soldiers. Promote those who worked the hardest in the process of destroying the moat formation and assign them to various positions. Those who guard the prison, patrol the city, and guard the gate... are in an orderly manner.

No matter who did what, how serious, it is impossible to hide it from his eyes.

After completing this extremely labor-intensive task very easily, he handed over the defense of Ximing City and the responsibility of guarding the prisoners to these surrendered soldiers.

And regroup the Victory Battalion to ensure combat effectiveness.

Whether the army can be formed or not is a world of difference.

If the 8,000 defenders of Ximing City can form an formation to fight, Chong Xuansheng and his people can only retreat.

But now that they are completely dispersed, he and Jiang Wang alone are enough to complete the massacre.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Jiang Wang, who didn't care about everything, recovered from his practice, looked at Chong Xuansheng who was approaching, and asked aloud.

Chong Xuansheng, who had been busy for a long time, said with a relaxed tone, "Of course I am concerned about the city's messaging system."

"Uh, isn't the messaging system cut off?"

"I'm talking about the flying beasts, like carrier pigeons or something."

"Who do you want to contact?" Jiang Wang had a weird expression: "The two brothers of the Bao family, Chong Xuanzun, Xie Baoshu... I can't think of anyone who will come to help you."

Speaking of it, he really didn't understand why Chong Xuansheng didn't go to fight the northern front, but came to fight the eastern front. It seems that Xie Huai'an, the court official, is full of people who are not easy to deal with!

"What are you thinking? Look at the military uniform on your body. The one we want to contact is of course the Daxia Army!" Chong Xuansheng said excitedly: "Our Ximing City was beaten so badly, and the entire formation protecting the city was beaten by Qi thieves. It's broken, the soldiers don't care about life and death, just repelled the enemy! Shouldn't they ask for help?"

Thanks to the leader "Miss OP next door has been pretending to be busy" for rewarding Xinmeng!
