180: Long Live Sauron! Xi Ning Spurted Blood!

[Latest broadcast] Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bags and school bags, this time "515 Red Packet Flip" must be watched, there is no reason not to grab the red envelopes, set the alarm clock~

"Ghost star, how much have I improved this time?" Sauron asked.

Yao Xing said: "Because what you have improved this time is strength and agility, so in terms of archer cultivation alone, you are already an intermediate six-star. As for swordsman cultivation, you are already an intermediate three-star swordsman."

Sauron was immediately overjoyed. Although this breakthrough was far inferior to the Dragon Flame Ruins, it was already much stronger than expected.

Moreover, he also has a demon star, which can carry out N times of dragon power crit. The most important thing is that he is also a mid-level six-star spiritual master, which is the most against the sky. So even in the face of a high-level warrior, he still has the power to fight.

This promotion came entirely from Suo Hanyi, perhaps this was the last contribution of his so-called adopted son of Suo.

Sauron left the quiet room and walked to the small meeting room outside.

"My lord." Suo Danchen and Suo Danyu knelt down on one knee.

They didn't have this kind of etiquette for Suo Hanyi before, basically they just bowed down and saluted without kneeling, because Suo Hanyi was only their boss, not their lord.

Sauron beckoned them to get up, and then found a chair to sit down.

Ye Jingyu stepped forward and delivered an exquisite breakfast.

Sauron took the fresh fruit and cheese with his hands and ate to his heart's content, drinking goat's milk and red wine while eating.

His early possession is very delicate, but also very messy. Not only eat cheese, but also lamb chops, not only drink cow and goat milk, but also wine.

Suo Danchen got up, still bent down and respectfully said: "My lord, Tianshui City has been taken. Four thousand rebels were disarmed and escorted out of the city. They are currently locked up in the northern city guard camp."

Sauron swallowed the last bite of lamb chops, and said, "Let's go and have a look."

...

After walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Sauron got into the carriage. Head out of town.

At this time, the entire main city of Tianshui fell into a strange silence.

The vast majority of the people didn't know that the sky had changed, but they faintly felt a terrible aura. Because, a large-scale army was dispatched last night. And there were sporadic fights.

Early this morning, the city guards issued an announcement that all citizens should stay at home and not go out.

What was even more disturbing was the city guard itself. Although they did not get very clear information. But the wind has been vaguely heard.

However, they are the most professional soldiers, no matter how uneasy they are, they still have to obey orders.

After hesitating for a while, Suo Danchen came to Sauron's side and said, "My lord, the brothers of the City Guard Army feel a little uneasy, do you want to have a word with them?"

Sauron shook his head and said, "No need."

"Yes." Although Suo Danchen didn't understand, he could only obey the order, but he felt that Sauron was unpredictable and worried. Is the lord's prejudice against the city guard already very deep?

Does Sauron have any prejudice against the City Guards? No.

On the contrary, he felt that this was a very good army, although it might not be as good as the mercenaries brought by Yan Yan in terms of individual combat effectiveness, because they lacked actual combat experience after all. But in terms of loyalty and obedience, they far surpassed mercenaries.

Suo Hanyi pretended to be stabbed that day, under the attack from inside and outside, the main city of Tianshui fell. However, the City Guards did not suffer a total defeat, but organized and desperately escorted Suo Hanyi out of Tianshui City, and within half a month, the scattered soldiers returned to the team voluntarily. Gathered around Suo Hanyi again.

Suo Hanyi and Yan Fu have trained this army very well, and the loyalty of this army to Suo Shi will never change. It's just that they chose to be loyal to Suo Shi who was in Suo Hanyi.

It was for this reason that Princess Xining asked them to stay in the main city of Tianshui. Instead of being transferred to Sirius Pass to fight against Sauron's army.

Their anxiety now is that they temporarily lost their direction, and the other is that they are worried about their own fate.

All the city guards were born in Tianshui City, and they are absolute professional soldiers. There are fields and houses in the family, and there is a certain salary every month, which is in the territory of Tianshui City. Those who are relatively wealthy and have a relatively high status.

Once Sauron dismissed them from the army, they would have nothing.

...

A few miles out of the city from the north gate, they arrived at the barracks of the Tianshui City Guards.

Most of the city guards usually train in the barracks, and only a few are stationed in the main city of Tianshui. But during this period of time, the war was approaching, so the entire city guards were stationed in the main city, and the northern barracks were empty.

The entire barracks covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres. There are special horse farms, archery ranges and so on.

The castle group alone covers a thousand acres, like a small town.

On the school grounds of the castle, Sauron saw four thousand rebels who had been captured. Each of them was disarmed, and even their clothes were stripped off, and they were squatting in the huge school grounds, shivering in the cold.

Although Tianshui City is located in the south, it is not freezing cold, but it is already winter after all.

Thousands of bows and crossbows were aimed at them on the high walls around the entire school grounds. The entire castle is also fully armed with two thousand city guards guarding them. As long as the group of captives mutinied a little, they could be shot and killed in the shortest possible time.

"How were the casualties of the city guard last night?" Sauron asked.

Suo Danchen said: "It's very small. These rebels used to be second-line militias in their respective territories. They were forcibly armed by Nurdan and others. Such an army, the city guards can fight a few. Last night's battle, only In less than an hour, these rebels only suffered less than two hundred casualties, and they all knelt down and surrendered."

Sauron stood on the balcony of the castle, looking down at the four thousand rebel prisoners on the school grounds.

Soon he will lead the city guards to go south to Tianlang Pass, and attack Sirius Pass with Yan Yan's army back and forth. The 4,000 rebel captives stayed in the rear, and it was more than a failure to succeed, and it would be a trouble if there was chaos.

So the easiest way is to kill them cleanly.

Sauron did have this urge faintly, but reason quickly suppressed him. After all, these are 4,000 living people, and they are all their own people. They are not even bad people, nor do they intend to oppose Soxhlet, they are all for money to eat.

Sauron looked at the rebel captives and said calmly, "My name is Sauron! Earl of Tianshui, Lord of Tianshui City, that is, the lord you want to rebel against."

Immediately, all the captives looked at Sauron anxiously. Their eyes were full of fear, and they, who were tightly clad in single clothes, shivered even more from the cold.

Even not only the rebel prisoners, but also the soldiers of the city guard looked at him. They are also very worried about their fate.

"All rebels should be executed." Sauron said directly.

The four thousand rebel prisoners trembled in fright, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Nurdan and other high-ranking warrior lords will all die, and the rebel centurion and above will all die. Ten leaders will all be reduced to slaves." Sauron directly pronounced the sentence: "But as the lowest-level soldiers, If you are ignorant of the unknown, you don’t have to die.”

The more than 4,000 rebel prisoners below suddenly felt that they had escaped from death, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"How much is your monthly salary for Nurdan and others?" Sauron suddenly asked.

These rebel prisoners looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"One silver coin per month." A prisoner said cautiously: "When fighting, three silver coins."

One silver coin is equivalent to 300 yuan on earth. This salary is really low. No wonder Nurdan and others are crazy. At most, 30,000 rebels were mobilized.

"The day after tomorrow at the latest, Nurdan's other rebels will be wiped out." Sauron said in a very relaxed tone, and did not mention Shen Ning at all.

Because, in the eyes of all the soldiers, this war was a war between Sauron and Suo Hanyi, Nurdan and others from the beginning to the end, and they didn't know who the master of Princess Xining was.

"After the war is over, most of you will be able to go home. You should be farming and working." Sauron said: "Those who want to continue to serve in the army must pass strict screening and have top-notch physique and martial arts before they can continue." Join the army and fill in the city guard army. Because after the war, the city guard army will expand to 10,000!"

Sauron's words. Not just for the rebel prisoners, but more importantly for the city guards.

Sure enough, after hearing Sauron's words, all the city guards present were completely overjoyed, and their worries were all gone.

Not only will the city guards not be reduced, but they will be expanded. This means that their jobs are preserved, and their military status and grain fields will not be taken back.

"How much is the salary of the city guard now?" Sauron turned his head and asked.

"Three silver coins per month." Suo Danchen said, "Whether it is wartime or peacetime, it is three silver coins, but part of it is cashed in grain."

Sauron said: "Additionally, the minimum salary of the city guard will be increased to five silver coins per month."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Suo Danchen and the others lit up suddenly, and all the soldiers of the City Guard present were ecstatic, with disbelief on their faces.

The salary has almost doubled from three silver coins to five silver coins. Moreover, they don't need to spend money at all in the military camp. After a year, they can save more than one gold coin, which can make a good life for the whole family.

For a moment, the uneasiness in the hearts of all the city guard soldiers disappeared completely, replaced by ecstasy and excitement.

As for changing from allegiance to Suo Hanyi to allegiance to Sauron, this transition is much easier for ordinary soldiers.

Because Suo Hanyi did not have much direct contact with the soldiers, but had more contact with the officers, officers above the centurion had a particularly deep affection and loyalty to Suo Hanyi.

These soldiers are loyal to Soxhlet, and the most important thing is their own jobs and future.

Suo Danchen next to him was filled with admiration. Sauron didn't say a word to the city guards, but every word he said was for them. A few simple words made the city guards feel uneasy, and it didn't seem to be the slightest bit. The feeling of buying people's hearts.

And the four thousand rebel captives below are also extremely excited. Not only can they survive, but they may also become the high-ranking city guards. To cloud nine.

Suo Danchen immediately winked.

Immediately, one of the captives shouted loudly: "Long live Lord Sauron, long live Lord Sauron!"

Immediately afterwards, all the captives shouted Long live Sauron.

Not only that, more than 4,000 captives knelt down in unison to express their allegiance.

On the contrary, the soldiers of the city guards were proud in their hearts, although they were excited, they would not express it so superficially.

Sauron turned his head and whispered to Suo Danchen: "Add a piece of clothing to each prisoner, but still don't wear warm clothes. The daily porridge will be thicker, but don't let them eat enough."

Suo Danchen was very excited, because this was the first time that Sauron turned his face slightly to talk to him, and his attitude became a little closer.

At this moment, he deeply felt the difference between Suo Hanyi and Sauron.

Although Suo Hanyi was strict, he was heart-to-heart with the officers, and there was a vague sense of equality.

And Lord Sauron. He has always been aloof, making you unable to see clearly or understand clearly, but the occasional closeness will also make you excited. flattered.

Therefore, Suo Hanyi can only be a general, and Sauron is the real lord.

The fact is also true, Suo Hanyi can only promote your military position at most, but Sauron can give you fields and manors. Canonize you and bring honor and status to your family.

"Yes, my lord." Suo Danchen said excitedly.

Sauron said: "Leave 2,000 people to garrison the main city of Tianshui, and the remaining 4,000 troops will follow me southward to wipe out the rebels in Sirius Pass."

"Obey." Suo Danchen knelt down on one knee.

...

Later in the evening.

Outside the main city of Tianshui, the four thousand city guards have all assembled. Two thousand cavalry, two thousand infantry.

Sauron rode a liger and inspected the army back and forth, every soldier he watched. All felt great pressure.

And their war horses were also stared at by the ligers, trembling slightly.

"There are 19,000 enemy troops in the Tianlang Pass." Sauron said, "Among them, 4,000 are in black, 10,000 are from Nurdan's rebels, and 5,000 are from Linhai who belong to Qinqu."

All the soldiers present had to gradually adapt to Sauron's speech style, which was neither sensational nor rhetorical.

"And we are also 19,000 people." Sauron said: "The city guards have 4,000 people, and Lord Yan Yan's Silver Wolf Legion. 15,000 people."

Everyone present has heard the name of Yinlang Yanyan. Because Yan Yan also came from the territory of Tianshui City, and he is the king of mercenaries known throughout the kingdom.

"Ninety-nine to ninety-nine." Sauron did not hide the meanness on his face, and said, "But in my eyes, the enemy's ninety-nine thousand is like a chicken and a dog. The more troops, the better." , even if there is a million fools, it is useless."

Hearing the word stupid/forceful, the soldiers present were slightly startled, this lord really has a distinct personality.

"Useless army. You saw last night that all four thousand rebels were taken down by you in less than an hour." Sauron laughed and said, "The day before yesterday, I spent gold coins to hire more than 10,000 ruffian troops. Mr. Khan Yi pissed his pants with a stern roar, and escaped cleanly."

As soon as these words came out, the city guard soldiers present couldn't help laughing anymore.

"There are at least several thousand such wastes in Sirius Pass." Sauron said disdainfully, "A mere 19,000 troops will be divided into three factions. This is the enemy we will face."

The city guards didn't have much fear in the first place, but now that Sauron said so, they didn't have the slightest fear of the battle of Sirius Pass.

"Then what about our 19,000 troops?" Sauron said, "The woman beside me, Yan Nai'er, is Lord Yan Yan's daughter. Just two months ago, she led 1,000 troops in the western desert and defeated 50,000 Tianyecheng allied forces. You heard it right, 1,000 people defeated 50,000 troops. This is the Silver Wolf Army, and there are 15,000 people in Sirius Pass."

"In addition to the Silver Wolf Legion, it is your four thousand city guards in front of you." Sauron said: "I don't know about your combat effectiveness. But you know it yourself. If you want to let me know, you can do so in the next battle." , show me, don't disgrace my Soxhlet guard."

Sauron's tone was very flat, but it also made the blood of the soldiers of the City Guard present.

Fighting side by side with them is a legendary army, an army with thousands of enemies. While this army brought them a sense of security, it also brought enormous pressure. You are so strong, and we are not vegetarians, so everyone compares.

"Finally!" Sauron raised his finger and said, "One of the enemy's heads can be exchanged for one gold coin, and we will never default."

As soon as these words came out, all the city guards present almost went crazy.

One head is one gold coin, this, this is a sky-high price, almost equal to their salary for the previous two years, which is three or four times the price of killing barbarian heads in the 100,000 mountains.

If you kill three or four enemy troops, you will get rich directly.

All the soldiers present felt that the blood on their bodies was about to boil, and they wished they could fly to Sirius Pass to harvest their own heads and gold coins.

"Let's go, kill the enemies, and earn your gold coins." Sauron roared loudly,

"Kill, kill, kill..."

The morale of the four thousand city guards was high, their murderous aura was soaring, and they swept southward, heading towards Sirius Pass.

"Long live the lord!"

"Travel the Sirius Pass!

...

Inside the Sirius pass, Zhi Ning was a little uneasy, but he couldn't find the reason.

It is still normal to send letters from Feiyao in Tianshui City every day, and the latest news is all good news.

For example, according to the recent news, Sauron used gold coins to hire more than 10,000 ruffians to attack Tianshui City, but Suo Hanyi yelled and scared the shit out of him.

Then, Suo Hanyi led 2,000 cavalry and chased him for hundreds of miles. Sauron was sure to die.

Chen Ning also despises that Sauron is smart because he is smart, but he doesn't know anything about military affairs, which is why he is so embarrassed.

I believe that now Sauron has either become the ghost under the sword of Suo Hanyi, or has been reduced to a prisoner and has been tortured.

The Yan Yan army outside the Sirius Pass is still building fortifications.

The two armies are still staring at each other several miles apart, but they just won't fight.

Days have passed since the start of the war, and the food and grass brought by Sauron's army should be almost exhausted.

In a few days at most, after the enemy's food and grass are all used up, they will be in chaos without a fight.

Yan Yan will not wait until the day when ammunition and food are exhausted, he will definitely be forced to attack Sirius Pass.

At that time, the 19,000 troops led by Shen Ning will rely on Jiancheng, and they can easily wipe out Yan Yan's army completely.

She was right in thinking, Yan Yan's mercenaries are good at field battles, but not good at siege. Once it really happened as Yan Ning expected, Yan Yan's army would undoubtedly lose, and there would be countless casualties.

Therefore, she would rather make full use of her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, without any mistakes.

The only thing she was wrong about was that the battlefield was changing rapidly, and once she lost the initiative on the battlefield, it meant failure.

But the current Zhining has long lost the initiative.

When she didn't attack Yan Yan's army immediately, she had already lost the initiative of the first step.

After Sauron killed Suo Hanyi, she lost the initiative of the entire battlefield.

...

As a result, time passed day by day, and Zhi Ning was still waiting for Yan Yan's army to run out of food and grass.

For some reason, the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became heavier and heavier, but she couldn't find the reason at all.

Two and a half days later, a messenger rushed into the Heavenly Wolf Pass and shouted loudly: "Suo Hanyi died in battle, Sauron captured the main city of Tianshui and is leading his army southward, less than two hundred miles away from the Heavenly Wolf Pass. "

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, he fell off the horse and fell to the ground dead, with an arrow sticking out of his back.

The news was like a bolt from the blue, Shen Ning only felt his eyes go dark, his head was dizzy, and then his chest throbbed and he felt a sharp pain.

"Pfft..." A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Princess Xining fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.
