Chapter 423: Attacking Neighboring Countries
There are thirteen kingdoms, large and small, in the Northern Territory of the Jagged Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Kingdom is the weakest of the thirteen kingdoms in the Northern Territory, weaker than the previous Great Zhou Kingdom.
How weak is this country?
Let's put it this way, even the small families of the Jagged Dynasty are too lazy to control it, and big families like the Luo family don't even look at it.
Of course, this also has an advantage, that is, the aristocratic families in the Northern Qi Kingdom are all born and raised in their own countries, and there is no external interference.
The most peculiar thing is that this country is the only country in the Northern Territory that is not protected by the Imperial Palace, but it has miraculously existed here for thousands of years.
This is not to say that he can defend the country, but that no one cares about his territory at all.
To say that the territory of Northern Qi is not small, it is almost as big as the previous Great Zhou Kingdom, but there are no resources on the land of Nuoda!
There is no spirit crystal mine in this country, and other resources are poor, even the food harvest is not good.
In addition, its martial arts strength is also extremely backward, and the strongest in the country are only three Martial Marquis, not even a decent genius or sect.
If it wasn't for the task of conquering the Northern Territory, Xiao Chen would not even want to kill him, it was too tasteless.
But now, it's another matter.
Da Zhou has just experienced a war, the domestic situation has just stabilized, and the rapid expansion of the territory has added many problems that need to be solved urgently.
Therefore, it is not realistic to attack other countries in the Northern Territory in a short period of time. The war is not only enough to take down the territory, but also to consider the rule and governance after the war, which is more important than the siege of the city.
However, occupying the Northern Qi Kingdom completely eliminates the need to consider these issues.
Xiao Chen estimated that the 100,000 Wei Wu pawns just summoned would be enough to destroy the Northern Qi Kingdom.
Of course, the premise is that these Wei Wu soldiers must be led by a top general. After all, there are still three Wuhou strongmen, and the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength!
The relationship between Northern Qi and Da Zhou is actually good. Because the two countries are facing the threat of barbarians, they have always been allies, and it would be inappropriate to eliminate allies.
However, there is no real friendship between countries, but everyone gets what they need.
As an emperor, Xiao Chen would not have the kindness of these women, the emperor needs domineering and ruthless.
What's more, the main force to resist the barbarians in these years has always been Da Zhou, and Northern Qi has not done much at all.
The reason was because Northern Qi was poor, and even the barbarians didn't bother to plunder them, and a country that couldn't support itself could have any oil and water.
Perhaps Xiao Chen's capture of the Northern Qi Kingdom would be an opportunity for the people of Northern Qi, or maybe it was.
"Wang Yue, let Heibingtai send orders to Gao Chong, and I will send him a 100,000-strong army, and let him take the Northern Qi in half a month!"
In the imperial study, Xiao Chen gave Wang Yue an order.
Now ten days have passed, and there are less than twenty days left before the major forces gather Longtan Mountain.
He didn't want to waste these twenty days. He wanted to take the Northern Qi before the arrival of the major forces, and first unify the four northern countries in the Northern Territory.
Gao Chong has just come to seek refuge, and now he is the second general in Donglie Battle City without an inch of credit.
It happened that Northern Qi was located in the eastern part of Dazhou, and was the closest to Donglie Battle City. This task was the most suitable for Gao Chong.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest: destroy Northern Qi and unify the four northern kingdoms!"
"Mission reward: a random chance to summon!"
Just as Xiao Chen finished giving Wang Yue the order, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.
He actually triggered the side quest again, but looking at the reward of this quest, Xiao Chen couldn't help but complain, it's so low!
According to Xiao Chen's observation, the quest rewards issued by the system are generally determined by the difficulty of the quest.
The harder the task, the bigger the reward!
Conversely, the easier the task, the more rubbish the reward!
After all, Northern Qi is also a country! Is there such a thing as a reward for destroying a country?
It seems that the garbage in this country is not illusory, but the reality of dishes.
...
Da Zhou's attack on Northern Qi was very fast, and he didn't even make arrangements for the allocation of food and grass, because in Xiao Chen's eyes, Northern Qi was really not worth mentioning.
Only three days later, Gao Chong, the deputy general of the Eastern Lie War City ordered by Xiao Chen, personally led the 100,000 Wei Wu soldiers to the eastern border and marched towards the Northern Qi Kingdom.
Xia Gao Chong, an important town where Northern Qi and Da Zhou intersect, led 100,000 soldiers of Wei Wu to approach the city.
These 100,000 Wei Wuzuns are all burly, wearing thick black heavy armor, holding a two-meter-long sharp silver spear in their hands, and a heavy decapitation knife hanging from their waists. At first glance, they are not good people.
The most important thing is that these 100,000 Wei Wu pawns formed a solemn military formation that stretched for several miles, and the chilling air that was almost integrated stagnates the entire sky, and even the birds flying through here were frightened by it.
Above the city head, the soldiers of the Northern Qi Kingdom who had not experienced war for a long time, looked at the 100,000 Wei Wu soldiers with awe-inspiring killing intent below the city, and couldn't help shivering.
Although they also have nearly 50,000 defenders, their combat effectiveness can only be said to be haha, otherwise they would not have been frightened into such a ghost by Wei Wuzu.
The defender of this important town is just a five-star martial artist, and nine out of ten soldiers under him are martial apprentices.
In such an army, facing the chief general is a high pet with a complete martial arts, and nearly half of Wei Wu's soldiers are military soldiers, they have no ability to resist at all.
"The defender of the Great Zhou Empire's Eastern Lie Battle City, Gao Chong, in the name of my emperor, will conquer Northern Qi, and quickly open the city and surrender!"
Gao Chong, a famous general wearing silver armor and holding a long spear, stood alone in front of the city gate more than five meters high, facing the tens of thousands of defenders at the top of the city without fear.
"This... This general, Da Zhou and Bei Qi Su, have always been on good terms. Why did the general lead troops to attack?"
The defender of the Northern Qi Kingdom, hiding on the top of the city, looked at the heroic Gao Chong, his voice trembled with fright.
Seeing the dignified defender of a city, turned out to be this bird, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but evoke a smile.
He looked at the general on the top of the city and said, "Because of the good relationship between the two countries, I, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, do not want to see the state of my brothers being poor and weak, and I specially sent this general to help you and feel the gift of Great Zhou."
Gao Chong's rogue remarks made the Northern Qi defender very helpless. This is obviously a shameless act!
Taking a long sigh of relief to relieve the pressure, the general said tremblingly, "General Gao, don't make such a joke."
Gao Chong snorted coldly: "Just kidding? This general is not in the mood to joke with you. Those who know the truth should quickly open the city and surrender, or I will attack the city!"
Gao Chong's words directly caused the general defending the city to shudder, but he did not dare to really open the city gate.
There are 100,000 tigers and wolves outside the city. If he opens the city gate, it will definitely not end well.
But Gao Chong was too lazy to write ink with him. Seeing that the general had no intention of opening the city and surrendering, his body flew directly from the horse, and he looked down at the entire city in the sky.
Gao Chong looked at the defenders at the head of the city coldly, and said, "Since you don't want to open the city, don't blame this general for being ruthless."
