Chapter 1572 Easily Conquering Honggu City

The mountains, rivers, cities and passes of the Xia Kingdom are all vividly miniature in the sand table.

The movement of a small flag affects the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Chen Zeqing looked at them with particularly deep eyes.

He said casually: "Speaking of which, the battle in Youping Mansion went more smoothly than in Linwu Mansion."

Wang Yiwu was slightly interested: "Because of Tian Anping?"

"Not necessarily." Chen Zeqing looked back and asked, "Are you familiar with Yan Fu?"

Wang Yiwu raised his eyebrows: "Why am I familiar with him?"

Chen Zeqing smiled: "Yan Fu's battle is very interesting."

"Is he also a soldier?" Wang Yiwu asked nonchalantly.

Chen Zeqing said: "On the battlefield on the northern front, he bribed enemy generals on a large scale. If he surrendered, he would give money. If he led the troops to surrender, he would pay more. He even shouted the slogan, 'Submit an army and you will have no worries in your life. Invest a city and you will be rich for three generations.' …”

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled again: "I can't tell whether I know the soldiers or not, but the effect seems to be good."

Wang Yiwu had an expression on his face that said, "That's okay." He didn't know what to say.

Chen Zeqing added: "I don't know what Zhaonan is doing now."

Wang Yiwu gave a rare smile: "He may be thinking... what are we doing!"

The frenzy subsided briefly, and behind the moment of silence was a more intense accumulation.

During the tense intervals of the fighting, the two senior fellow apprentices chatted all over the world.

In fact, when Wang Yiwu first started, the Army God was busy with military affairs, so several senior brothers taught him how to practice. Especially Chen Zeqing led the most, and the relationship between the two of them is particularly deep.

It's just that as they grow older, everyone has their own things to do... Especially as disciples of the Military God of Da Qi, while enjoying endless glory, they must also show a performance that matches this glory, so as not to become one of the Military Gods. A stain on the name.

All their brothers, three alive and two dead, actually worked very hard.

They haven't talked like this for a long time.

…

…

Honggu City is located behind Huyang Pass, with a dangerous pass in front and fertile soil in the back. Over the years, there have been few military disasters and no natural disasters, and the city is very prosperous. With Xinjie City adjacent to Fengli, one is to the west of Huiming Mansion and the other is to the east of Huiming Mansion. The way home for the "Fengli Mansion Army" can be regarded as completely opposite.

Of course, for Chongxuan Sheng, there is no other end. This is where his goal lies.

At this time, the whole army of the Victory Battalion had changed into the military uniforms of the Shao Kang Mansion Army, which can be said to be "returning to the original intention."

For this war against Xia, Chong Xuansheng prepared a total of three hundred storage boxes and distributed them to the entire army, enough to hold a lot of supplies. Of course, the consumption of three thousand elite soldiers' Qi, blood pills and Daoyuan stones is also huge. Soldiers who have not yet become extraordinary, as well as soldiers who are in the early stages of becoming extraordinary, need to eat and drink even more. No matter how much supplies you carry with you, it's not enough. You have to eat them from the enemy.

They made a lot of money in Ximing City, so they didn't have to worry about Daoyuan Stone and Qi and Blood Pills for the time being.

Compared with Linwu Mansion, which was the front line of the Qi-Xia War, and Huyang Pass, which stood in front of the entire Huiming Mansion and was guarded by Hushuo.

The defense of Honggu City can be described as lax.

Chongxuan Sheng showed the command flag and sealed the letter, saying that he was a reinforcement from Shao Kang Mansion rushing to Linwu Mansion. Due to the defeat, he retreated and asked to go to the peak to rest and recuperate nearby.

The defenders of Honggu City actually opened the city gate and invited the friendly troops to eat!

I don't know whether it was because he was too confident in the troops stationed at Huyang Pass, or because he felt that it was impossible for the Qi army to break out of Linwu Mansion in a short time.

The flag seal letter was inspected, and the guard of Honggu City even came to greet him personally.

The place to entertain the friendly troops was directly chosen as the school grounds of the Honggu City Guards.

Big fish and meat are piled on top, and running water mats directly cover the school ground.

The "Shao Kang Mansion Army" dispersed and sat down, feasting unceremoniously - which was in line with the temperament of a defeated army retreating in embarrassment.

The chief general "Jiang Sheng" was invited into the camp, and he exchanged cups with the Honggu city guard who was personally accompanying him, and had a pleasant conversation.

It is indispensable to talk about our years and glorious experiences in the past. In the smooth and flawless conversation, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

When the wine was full, "Jiang Sheng" said that he would pass on his little order and tell him to handle military affairs on his behalf. Today, he would let go of his restraints and accompany Yunyun, his brother in Honggu City, at the wine table.

When the young commander walked into the camp, the guards, captains, and bookkeepers of Honggu City never came out again.

Li Chen, the captain of the guard who was standing outside the tent, didn't hear any sound at all. When he saw the fat general of the "Shaokang Mansion Army" coming out with Xiao Ling, he said goodbye politely.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't see his general come out, so he said he should go in to check the situation. At this sight, he was so frightened that his three souls flew to the sky!

All the senior military attachés from Honggu City had their necks wiped clean! Around the wine table, he lay down neatly.

He rushed to the school grounds without realizing it, and happened to see the mutiny process of the "Shao Kang Mansion Army".

Those sloppy and hungry "Shaokang Mansion Army" put down the cups and bowls in their hands and spit out the bones in their mouths. They seemed to be reborn, and they all showed their strength, and they had already formed a battle formation in a few steps. !

The sword is also fast, and the steps are also quick. Then they pushed all the way, dispersing the city guards who had reluctantly gathered in panic again and again, and mercilessly suppressed all resistance, leaving only billowing heads and dense crowds of people kneeling in surrender!

In less than an hour, they took control of the city guard barracks.

This level of eliteness far exceeded his imagination!

Two hours later, all the key points of the entire city were controlled by this army.

Li Chen felt vaguely that he was the one who got drunk at the table.

Wasn't all this a nightmare?

But the knife on his neck, forcing him to kneel down and surrender, reminded him that he would not wake up!

Li Chen knelt down in humiliation.

Then he and all the brothers of the Honggu City Guard were gathered together and forced to destroy the city defense formation of Honggu City.

In the wailing of the city defense formation, when he personally cut the node of the formation he was guarding.

He really thought that the fat man was the worst demon in the world!

The fat man asked everyone to submit to Qi and be the vanguard of the Qi army. If they didn't obey, they would be killed.

The killing was bloody and frightening.

He knelt down again.

Then he was appointed as a general, and two thousand surrendered soldiers of the city guard were assigned to him. Without any restrictions, he was ordered to sneak attack the Cobalt Blue City in the south...

He felt unprecedented fear, anger, and confusion.

The city was easily broken, the commander was killed, and the trust was easily gained, and the opportunity to defect was easily obtained - but he couldn't figure out why? !

...

"Why?"

This is also Jiang Wang's question.

Although the occupation process of Honggu City was quite easy, it is still a big city, and its value is not low.

But Chong Xuansheng didn't seem to plan to do anything here.

He only did three things.

First, destroy the city defense formation and destroy the war resources stored in the city. Open the treasury, take away everything that can be taken away, and destroy everything that cannot be taken away.

Second, release all the flying beasts used by Honggu City for wartime messaging, write many letters for help, and stamp them with the city lord's seal.

Third, after driving the defenders to destroy the city defense formation, force them to surrender. Then divide these surrendered city guards into several armies, select generals on the spot to lead them, one army in the east and one army in the west, and drive them to attack other neighboring cities as if it were a child's play.

Especially the last thing, Jiang Wang couldn't see the meaning at all.

Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that surrendering was not so easy. In Ximing City, he used coercion, inducement and division, and used all means, but he still couldn't guarantee that the Xia army would truly surrender.

This time, they acted so rudely in Honggu City, these people would definitely turn against their side as soon as they left the city.

What else can be done by sending these surrendered troops, except to speed up the exposure of their whereabouts and details?

"Huiming is not Linwu. Linwu was in chaos at that time. The battle line was stalemated in the eight cities in the north, and not many people could pay attention to us. After occupying Ximing City, we still have some room to maneuver. Huiming is different. As long as Huyang Pass is not broken, the rear is a solid block. They can just close the door and catch the thieves, but we are alone in the deep."

Zhong Xuansheng explained: "When entering the city, did you see the Xia army's cavalry? The kind with blue and white fur and blue laces tied to the horse's tail."

Jiang Wang thought for a while: "Yes, I have seen it."

Zhong Xuansheng smiled: "I also caught one, right behind the team!"

I don't know what kind of bad taste he has. He has a ready-made one, but he insists that Jiang Wang recall its appearance first.

"So?" Jiang Wang asked.

"This is another means of communication during wartime besides flying beasts. This horse is called Yutai Qingcong, and it is one of the military supplies purchased by Xia Kingdom from Jing Kingdom at a high price. The strength of the Beast Taming Academy they rebuilt after the war is not enough, and the monster horses they cultivate are not ideal, so they can only seek help from outside. Compared with our wind-stepping monster horses, Yutai Qingcong has a shorter lifespan, but runs faster. When burning its life, its speed can even double."

Zhong Xuansheng knows the situation of Xia Kingdom like the back of his hand: "The Xia Kingdom military has a Yutai Qingcong patrol system, which is specially used in wartime when communication is isolated. In Linwu Prefecture, which is in chaos, this system has failed, but it still maintains dynamic contact in Huiming Prefecture. Honggu City fell today, and the news will spread throughout Huiming Prefecture in at most three days. Even Huyang Pass will soon get the news that we did not go to Xinjie City, and thus find out the problem... We can't stay here."

"Isn't there still three days?" Jiang Wang said: "Such a big city, always We can use it to do something. "

Zhong Xuansheng smiled: "Do you have any obsession with this city? What can we do? It's nothing more than imitating the story of Ximing City and capturing more prisoners. But the situation here is different from that of Ximing City. No one takes over the prisoners, and we can't massacre them... It's meaningless for us to risk staying in this city. Destroying a city defense formation and eliminating a node of a national defense formation is the greatest merit we have already achieved. Apart from that, don't be greedy!"

"Then you send letters everywhere, drive away the defeated soldiers, and muddy the water of the entire Huiming Prefecture... Where do you want to go next?"

Zhong Xuansheng asked back: "If you are a Xia countryman, a Xia countryman who was just driven by us to attack other cities... Where do you think we are going?"

Jiang Wang's eyes fell on Zhong Xuansheng's military uniform, raised his eyebrows and said: "Shaokang Prefecture?"

At this time, he finally understood why they had to change into the uniforms of the Shaokang Prefecture Army before coming to Honggu City!

"Shaokang Prefecture is a land of plenty. The spiritual grains produced here are world-famous and sold to many countries. They are an important source of revenue for Xia. If possible, I would also like to destroy it... Occupying one city in Shaokang Prefecture will yield more than taking three cities in Linwu Prefecture." Zhong Xuansheng said with a smile, "So they definitely won't dare to take it lightly!"

First plunder Ximing City, then plunder Honggu City. You can tell how much you have gained by looking at the spirit of the soldiers in the Victory Camp. Following Chongxuansheng and Jiang Wang, they put their heads on their belts, went back and forth behind the enemy, fought for thousands of miles, and hardly slept a full night's sleep, but no one complained!

Why?

Of course it's because of the harvest.

Because what everyone got was beyond imagination.

It's no exaggeration to say that everyone in the Victory Camp is now rich.

The Desheng Commercial Bank founded by Chongxuansheng is doing very well now, but its annual revenue is not as good as that of a plunder. Every big city is a place where hundreds of thousands of people in the city accumulate wealth, especially during the war, every city has a large reserve of war supplies...

After breaking through two big cities in succession, the soldiers of the Victory Camp no longer want anything else, only Daoyuan Stone and Qixue Pills, which have filled all the storage boxes accompanying the army.

In fact, during the march, the Victory Camp had quietly buried wealth and set up methods to conceal treasures in several places, waiting to be used after the war.

Everyone in the Victory Camp is a rich man!

In addition, there is another benefit.

That is, all kinds of low-level Taoist arts gathered in the two cities were divided by Chong Xuansheng and Jiang Wang, and filled into the Taixu Illusion.

During the war, the Taixu Illusion was isolated and could not connect to other parties.

But each monthly key holder has his own private space in the Taixu Illusion, and there is no problem connecting here... Of course, except for communicating with his own Taoism platform, no other functions can be activated.

I don’t know what level Chong Xuansheng’s Taoism platform has reached, but Jiang Wang’s own Taoism platform has already met the [method] required by the sixth-level Taoism platform in one fell swoop, and has upgraded his Taoism platform, which has been stagnant for a long time, to a whole new level!

From the fourth floor to the fifth floor, it takes one million points of magic. Because Jiang Wang inherited the relationship left by Zuo Guanglie, he only needs 300,000 points of magic to unlock it - this is also an astronomical figure.

At the beginning, he contributed the art of the fire realm and got the biggest reward, but he only got hundreds of thousands of points of magic, and there were still hundreds of thousands of points of vacancies.

And from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, it takes tens of millions of magic. He just needs to unlock it, and he also needs three million magic.

If he accumulates it himself, I don’t know how long it will take.

Now he has passed through two cities, but it has been completed in one fell swoop.

In addition, his honorary title [Taixu Five Elements Monk] has disappeared with his promotion to the outer building, but the new honorary title [Taixu Four Symbols Monk] has been won. In addition, the two honorary titles [Taixu Strongest Tenglong] and [Taixu Strongest Inner Court] will be retained after the promotion, and the honorary title [Taixu Envoy] that comes with the Taixu Corner Tower.

The effect of his Tao platform can already be activated to the tenth floor!

This means that most of the Taoist skills he has learned can be evolved as long as he accumulates enough merit.

However, to truly use its functions, this war must end and the Great Illusion Realm must be reconnected.

Looting two cities has already yielded such a harvest.

Shaokang Prefecture is ten times richer than Huiming and Linwu. If Jiang Wang were to be in the same place, he would never want to let the enemy invade this place.

Then, in the next period of time, it is self-evident where the troops of the cities in Huiming Prefecture will be deployed after receiving the news...

This is the result that Chong Xuansheng wants!

The next place he is going to attack is Xinjie City, which is located in the east of Huiming Prefecture and adjacent to Fengli Prefecture!

It is really a feint to the west and attack the east, and three calculations in one step! Jiang Wang, who has figured it out, is amazed.
