Chapter 1567 Qi Xia Ben Yi Zong
Jiang Changyong, the guard in the outer building realm, died instantly. The token that activated the city defense formation was within reach of his waist, but he could never touch it again.
The big ballista guarding the city was safe and sound. No matter how tight the string was, it could not be loosened again.
The black nightmare ash jar that can extinguish Dao Yuan, the red fire oil jar that can burn energy and blood...all the expensive city defense weapons have not been touched at all.
Under the command of Chong Xuan Sheng, the Victory Battalion quickly seized key places in the city and completed the de facto occupation before the city's defense system could react.
Liu Dayong's mood is difficult to describe.
There was no anger at all - everything was over before there was time to be angry.
He saw the Qi army destroying everything and walking freely throughout the city...like the real masters of the world!
He saw that the resistance in the entire Ximing City was... almost non-existent.
There were some slight waves, but they were all crushed immediately... and then came the Sea of Tranquility.
The entire Ximing City turned out to be a sea of tranquility.
The man dressed as Xiao Ling looked completely different after he drew his sword than before. It's really terrifyingly strong. Even the city lord of Ximing City was killed in a single encounter...
He didn't seem to need to be afraid.
Because that cunning fat man didn't seem to have any intention of killing him - not just that he had no intention of killing him. Except for the initial period of controlling the city defense, the Qi army almost did not kill a single extra person.
Of course, the fat man had no mercy for the senior officials of Ximing City and some Xia Army soldiers who refused to surrender and resisted bravely.
Liu Dayong felt more confused.
He came to serve the country and vowed to kill the Qi thieves, but the Qi thieves were actually by my side. So much so... that the guard of Ximing City became a little less vigilant because of Liu Dayong!
For a moment, he wanted to pull out his butcher knife and fight to the death.
But the fat general of Qi who took him into the city had no defense against him - why should he?
And this was the reason why he was at a loss and wanted to cry without tears.
Extraordinary monks must emerge from the ordinary world, but in the face of extraordinary weapons, the power of ordinary people is so limited!
He has the strength to kill pigs and dogs with one arm, but he is so fragile before his extraordinary armed strength.
The fat man finally gathered all the Ximing City guards together... a total of more than 8,000 people.
These people were driven out from all corners of the city, all disarmed, and detained in the school grounds.
The soldiers of the victorious camp formed a battle formation and guarded with swords.
The ballistas guarding the city were brought down and aimed at them...
"Ahem!" The cunning fat general from Qi State looked at these leaderless and frightened soldiers of Xia State and said with great force: "You have two choices, surrender to me, Da Qi, or say to me, ' No'!"
The huge school grounds were silent for a moment.
Those who were the bravest had already died in the first round of resistance.
At this moment, no one stands up to say ‘no’, and no one stands up to take the lead in submitting.
Chongxuan Shengxiao uses emotion and reason to move: "The Xia Kingdom is originally the land of Qi. It was Jing Guo's forcible interference that separated us for many years! I, the Qi Dynasty's million-strong army, came east to conquer the old land. This is where righteousness lies, and we are invincible!"
Jianfeng Mountain, which Min King Yu Liyang personally guarded, was broken in one day. Fengjie Mansion, which was heavily garrisoned, changed its banner in three days. The so-called nationalist army has been crippled. In Tongyang City, where King Wu Sijiao was personally in charge, the city defense formation could not hold out for a day!
You should all know what it means that I am able to call here! That's right, after the surrender of Ximing City, the entire territory of Linwu Mansion has been acquired by Da Qi! "
"We, Da Qi, recruit talents from all over the world and have always been inclusive. All those who are committed to Da Qi are all Qi people, and there is no distinction between them. Now that you have submitted, you are no longer a precarious Xia people, but a Qi people with your head 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 considered to have integrity.
Although Chong Xuan Sheng's words are wild, not many people are willing to believe him. There are a few who are shaken, and they don’t dare to stand out in this environment.
After all, Qi Jun will leave eventually, but their hometown and family will always be here - yes, in the hearts of most Xia people today, they don't think Qi Jun can really occupy this land.
Chong Xuan Sheng spoke dryly for a while, but to no avail. I glanced at those ballistae intentionally or unintentionally...
Soon someone ran out crawling on the ground: "I am willing to submit to Daqi! I am willing!"
Taking the lead, five or six hundred people immediately came out.
Good guys, it turns out you’re doing this trick!
Fourteen, who stood next to Chong Xuan Sheng, silently moved the epee in front of him to increase his deterrence. With just a slight relaxation, the epee had already dug a hole into the ground!
Chong Xuan Sheng smiled and pointed out his hand: "Those who submit to Da Qi, please stand to my left. Those who do not want to submit, please do not move where you are."
These words have some meaning of liquidation.
Nearly 800 people passed by last.
Although the remaining Xia soldiers had made their choice, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
And Chongxuan Sheng said again: "Those who submit to Da Qi now will retain their military positions, fields, and properties! When Da Qi regains its territory, those who are unwilling to submit and stubbornly resist will all be displaced as refugees! They will have no place to live. So, if you don’t have anything to eat, everything will start from scratch! Of course, whether you submit or not is entirely up to your own free will, and I will not force you to do so.”
As soon as he said these words, more than 300 people walked over.
Chongxuansheng said slowly and calmly: "I forgot to tell you one thing. My name is Chongxuansheng. I have an uncle who treats me like his own son. His name is - Chongxuan Chuliang!"
Hua Hua Hua.
The school grounds suddenly surged with people.
There were more than 3,000 people, and they fled to the other side of the surrender.
In an instant, the number of surrenderers reached more than half of the defenders of Ximing City.
The name of Fierce Tu comes to this!
Chong Xuansheng looked over again, and those who gritted their teeth and did not choose to submit were all trembling in their hearts!
"Brother Wang." Zhong 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 submit, they will be in big trouble. We are small, so It’s hard to allocate troops to guard him. Do you think he should be killed?”
After all, he learned the art of war from Chongxuan Chu Liang, and when it came to massacres, he was completely silent.
"I disagree." Jiang Wang first expressed his attitude clearly, and then said: "You also said that benevolence on the battlefield means not killing unnecessary people."
"In those days, my uncle entered the country alone and killed to establish his authority. He slaughtered wherever he went. In the shortest time, he penetrated the Xia Kingdom's rear area, thus triggering the complete defeat of the Xia Army. But it also led to the subsequent Qi Dynasty. When the army marched into the Xia Kingdom, they encountered fierce resistance everywhere..." Chong Xuansheng sighed: "Whether we are right or wrong, let time judge."
He waved his hand and ordered: "Put those who refuse to surrender into custody. Fill the prison first, put the rest in shackles, and then tie the rest with ropes... but do not hurt your life. Because Qi Xia originally One sect, soon, this will be my people of Daqi!"
After Chong Xuan Sheng brought up Ji Tu's name, some people were indeed ready to fight to the death. But he didn't expect that he would only be detained in the end. He was so emotional that his legs became weak.
"Qi Xiaben's sect?" Jiang Wang was a little curious about Zhong Xuansheng's statement.
"Brothers who have abandoned the dark side and surrendered to Da Qi, please come with me!" Chong Xuan Sheng greeted.
Then he walked and said to Jiang Wang: "To be honest, in the ancient times, the human race was one and we fought against the monster race together. How could we distinguish between countries? The people of the world are one family! However, with the new beginning of the Dao calendar, the national system has been in existence for thousands of years. I agree that there have been changes. It is as far back as Emperor Wu's restoration of Qi, and as recently as Kang Shao's restoration of Liang... let's not talk about that in today's era, we can start talking about Yang State."
"This is also part of Prime Minister Yan's policy of peace and destruction. Our Qi State and Xia State have both divided the inheritance of Gu Yang, which can be regarded as the orthodox inheritance of Gu Yang. This saying has been circulated for many years in the Xia State... The so-called Qi Xia Benyi Zong. We are here to regain our homeland and join the clan. The reason why Mr. Yan is participating in this battle is because he is also involved in Xia's strategy. Of course he will come to witness it."
After saying that, he also smiled.
Of course this is quite ridiculous.
When the Xia Kingdom was at its peak, it indeed spanned the two southeastern regions, but at first it was only a small country in the southern region that gained power, and it had nothing to do with the Yang Kingdom. I just took advantage of the collapse of the Yang Kingdom and rushed in to eat a few bites of fat... How can I inherit the orthodoxy of Yang?
Emperor Wu of Qi even resolutely severed his relationship with Gu Yang in the melee of "Gu Yang's orthodoxy", saying that the new country of Da Qi represented the general trend of the future and had its own glory, without any need to be contaminated by the glory of the ancient country... ...How can we inherit the old orthodoxy now?
But many times, people just need a reason, a flag, or even just a fig leaf.
If there was no such thing as "Qi Xia's original sect", there would certainly not be so many people who would submit this time.
Then again...
When the Xia Kingdom was fighting for hegemony in the Eastern Region, the banner they used was indeed orthodox. Xia's army marched across the Eastern Region with the intention of restoring Da Yang's old outlook and reviving the glory of the ancient empire.
I have to say that history is a cycle, always dressing people up repeatedly.
The roots are extremely deep and the surface floats on the water. If you can't see the story behind it, you may only feel the absurdity.
Jiang Wang realized that the saying "Qixia is the same sect" is also a very critical part of this national war. The monarchs and ministers of Qi had been self-examining for how long they had failed to swallow up all the land of Xia.
This summer expedition, we are really well prepared in all aspects.
Rather than saying that the Battle of Jingmu gave Qi a chance, it is better to say that Qi has been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, not today, but also tomorrow.
The thirty-two years during which the Xia State "never forgot to advance eastwards" were also the thirty-two years during which the Qi State sharpened their swords!
Therefore, we must remove its strong support, cut off its diplomacy, kill its body, destroy its spirit, destroy its dangerous passes, capture its majestic city, swallow up thousands of miles of fertile soil, and point the sword at the millennium of the country!
…
There were a total of 4,300 city guards in Ximing City, and they chose to submit at this time. As for the number of people, it was even greater than the victory camp.
Since ancient times, taking prisoners has been a problem during the march. The more prisoners there are, the harder it is to write the correct answer.
It is impossible to let the tiger return to the mountain.
Joining the army will only affect your own combat effectiveness.
If you form an army alone, are you afraid of a counterattack?
Imprisoning him would cost a lot of food, and he would also have to dedicate troops to guard him...
No wonder Zhongshan Yanwen, the famous general of Jing State, said——
"It is better to make good use of the captives than to be a capable general in a hundred battles."
It can be seen that how to deal with prisoners can best reflect the quality of a general.
Chong Xuansheng organized these people together, simply arranged a queue, and led the army directly to the tower.
"I have given you the chance. You have made the choice. From now on, I will discipline you with military orders. I think you are all reasonable people and will not let me bear the reputation of killing indiscriminately!"
After saying these murderous words, Zhong Xuansheng put on a gentle smile: "Everyone who joins my team is my brother. Brothers, this city defense formation is not in harmony with me and makes me unable to sleep peacefully. Can you help me solve my worries?"
He wants to drive these people to completely destroy the city defense formation of Ximing City.
The formation on Jianfeng Mountain was destroyed and it took a year to restore its original appearance. If the city defense formation of Ximing City is destroyed, it is almost foreseeable that it will not be used again in this war.
The damage to Xia Country caused by this incident is almost irreversible.
This can be called a pledge of allegiance!
There was a former city guard general in the crowd, who gritted his teeth and said, "Once this is done, there is no going back! General Chongxuan, how can I be sure that your previous promise to us is reliable?"
Chongxuansheng laughed and stretched out his hand to the side: "Do you know who this person is?"
"In the 3919th year of the Dao calendar, the leader of the Yellow River. The Qingyangzi of the Great Qi, the third-rank golden melon warrior, and the fourth-rank green card head of the police, Jiang Wang is it! In order to save his friends, he once went to the maze alone and killed the sea tribe to get on the sea merit list. For a promise, he once fought with me. Wang Yiwu, a disciple of the Qi army, fought for his life and death, first Tenglong, then the inner court, and won the victory! Jingshitai falsely accused him of communicating with the devil, and Sanxing Palace proved his innocence. "
"This man's trustworthiness is known to the world!"
"I promise you, as long as you are sincere to Qi. You will keep your military position, land, and house, and your family can be saved from war. This is confirmed by Jiang Wang!"
"He and I are close friends and brothers. Even if I don't care about you, I will cherish his reputation."
"So, do you still have doubts?"
Jiang Wang stood in front of the crowd 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 city defense formation-he was familiar with this formation.
These people surrendered first and then submitted. They had gone through several rounds of obedience tests and were accustomed to Chong Xuansheng's orders.
With someone taking the lead, the entire surrendered army soon took action.
The sound of ping-pong soon rang up and down the tower.
The defenders of the city in the past, the destroyers of the city today.
If the city defense formation had intelligence, it would be a difficult experience.
For Chong Xuansheng, it seems that nothing can't be used to its full potential. From the name of Liu Dayong in a remote mountain villa, a general of the Fengjie Prefecture reinforcements who met on the road, to the situation of the entire Qixia battlefield...
Reputation is of course also a weapon.
Chong Xuan Chuliang's reputation is like this, and so is Jiang Wang's reputation.
Only by making use of almost everything that can be used can the result of capturing the city be so easy now.
But this is just the beginning.
Now is the time for Chong Xuansheng to show his talent.
He supervised the whole process, and only after confirming that the city defense formation was completely destroyed did he reorganize these surrendered soldiers. He promoted the most hardworking part of the people in the process of destroying the city defense formation and assigned them to various positions. Those who guard the prison, patrol the city, and guard the gate... are in an orderly manner.
Who did what and how serious they were, it is impossible to hide from his eyes.
After completing this extremely laborious task very easily, he handed over the defense of Ximing City and the responsibility of guarding the prisoners to these surrendered soldiers.
And regrouped the Victory Camp to ensure combat effectiveness.
Whether the army can form a formation makes a world of difference.
If the 8,000 defenders of Ximing City could form a formation to fight, Chong Xuansheng and his men would have to retreat.
But now that they are completely scattered everywhere, he and Jiang Wang are enough to complete the massacre.
"What were you talking about just now?"
Jiang Wang, who was not concerned about anything, came back to his senses from his practice, looked at Chong Xuansheng who was approaching, and asked.
After being busy for half a day, Chong Xuansheng said in a relaxed tone: "Of course I am concerned about the communication system of this city."
"Uh, isn't the communication system isolated?"
"I'm talking about those flying beasts, such as pigeons."
"Who do you want to contact?" Jiang Wang had a strange 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 which, he really didn't understand why Chong Xuansheng didn't fight on the northern front, but on the eastern front. The court doctor Xie Huaian seemed to have a lot of people who didn't get along with him!
"What are you thinking about? Look at your military uniform. Of course, we want to contact the Daxia Prefecture Army!" Chong Xuansheng said excitedly: "We fought so badly in Ximing City, and the city defense formation was destroyed by the Qi thieves. The soldiers fought hard and repelled the enemy! Shouldn't we ask for help?"
Thanks to the leader "Miss OP next door has been pretending to be busy" for rewarding the new alliance!
