Chapter 577 The Opportunity to Atone for One's Sin Has Arrived

After entering the city, Ning Chen set aside a day.

The nobles, nobles and dignitaries in the city should be arrested and killed.

Most of these people were appointed by King Rui.

Moreover, King Rui rebelled, and these people contributed a lot of money.

Ning Chen is now amassing money.

He wants to build a city of his own and cultivate his own power.

Therefore, there will be a shortage of money later.

The next day, Ning Chen led his army to leave Haizhong City.

Some soldiers were left to take over Haizhong City, and the rest followed Ning Chen to attack Xiangzhou.

Lu Ming led five thousand people and set out two hours earlier than Ning Chen.

Ning Chen asked him to pretend to be a defeated general and deceive him into opening the gate of Xiangzhou.

Ten days later, Ning Chen was not far from Xiangzhou.

Lu Ming led five thousand soldiers, running wildly for days, exhausted, and indeed looked like a group of defeated soldiers.

The soldiers at the top of Xiangzhou City discovered Lu Ming and others and immediately reported to Xiangzhou Guard Qu Lang.

Qu Lang, a tall man wearing golden armor, quickly climbed up the tower.

Also accompanying him was the diminutive Showa general Shunsuke Yamamoto.

This time, the Showa Kingdom dispatched a total of 40,000 troops to support King Rui.

Mitsuki Hanmoto led an army of 30,000 to stop Ning Chen's army.

Yamamoto Shunsuke led 10,000 people to stay in Xiangzhou.

The first reason he stayed was because he was worried that after defeating Ning Chen, the conditions promised to them by King Rui would not be fulfilled.

Second, he wanted his soldiers to take root in Xiangzhou, gradually grow stronger, and encroach on Xiangzhou bit by bit.

Daxuan is vast and rich in resources.

However, Showa was forced to live on a small island with scarce supplies, and had to experience a sudden change every few days.

When the earth dragon turns over, it is an earthquake.

There have been earthquakes every three days. They are really worried that one day they will wake up and the island they live in will sink and the country will be gone.

Therefore, they have long wanted to invade Daxuan's territory.

When King Rui approached them for an alliance, they felt that an opportunity had come.

Unexpectedly, Mitsuki Sakamoto went to stop Ning Chen, but the 30,000-strong army was slaughtered.

Mitsuki Sakamoto went away completely, with only one head left.

So Shunsuke Yamamoto now hates Ning Chen deeply.

Qu Lang looked down at the soldiers and horses below the city and asked loudly: "Who is under the city?"

"Lu Ming, the defender of Sea City."

Qu Lang snorted coldly, "You dare to come to Xiangzhou without permission from His Majesty... Lu Ming, do you know your guilt?"

"The general will finally admit his guilt. We were forced to evacuate because of the fall of Haizhong City... I want to see His Majesty and plead guilty in person!"

Qu Lang's expression changed greatly, "Haizhongcheng was lost?"

"yes!"

"Lu Ming, you lost the sea city, you should die to apologize!"

Lu Ming said loudly: "It's not that we are incompetent, it's just that Ning Chen is really powerful... When I see Your Majesty, I will apologize."

Qu Lang shouted: "Open the city gate!"

After Qu Lang finished speaking, he glanced at the deputy general beside him.

The deputy general understood and nodded slightly.

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered.

Qu Lang shouted: "General Lu, please enter the city!"

"Thank you!"

Lu Ming ordered to enter the city.

He rode forward and suddenly realized something was wrong.

The suspension bridge was lowered too slowly, as if it had no intention of lowering it at all.

"Retreat, retreat quickly..."

Lu Ming suddenly yelled.

Because he found that countless archers suddenly appeared at the top of the city.

Qu Lang smiled ferociously, "Fire the arrow!"

The dense rain of arrows shot towards Lu Ming and others with the sound of breaking through the air.

Although Lu Ming discovered it in time, his retreat speed was far less than the speed of the arrow.

Qu Lang laughed loudly, "Lu Ming, you timid bandit, do you really think that this general doesn't know about your Kaicheng surrender?"

"You want to trick me into opening the city gate, what a wishful thinking!"

Lu Ming escaped from the range of the bow and arrow in embarrassment.

In just a short moment, he lost hundreds of people.

Lu Ming looked at Qu Lang at the top of the city, his face ashen.

At this moment, the drawbridge was lowered and the city gate opened.

The horses' hooves clank and the ground trembles.

Countless cavalry rushed out from Xiangzhou.

Lu Ming was about to order a retreat when he suddenly discovered that these cavalry were not Daxuan's soldiers.

They are generally short in stature, look a bit comical on tall horses, and their riding skills are average.

This is the Showa army.

"The Showa Warriors, avenge General Mitsuki Sakamoto, kill them all for me...I will chop off all their heads and pile them into mountains."

On top of the city, Shunsuke Yamamoto yelled.

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ning Chen seemed to hate the Showa people very much. He had never heard of Ning Chen massacring all the enemy's soldiers during battle. He usually refused to kill those who surrendered.

However, Ning Chen killed all 30,000 people in Showa's army.

The Showa army that rushed out numbered about five to six thousand people. If they could capture these people, it would be enough to make them lose their merit.

"All officers and men listen to the order, the opportunity has come to make a difference in meritorious deeds...form up in formation and follow me to charge!"

Lu Ming took the lead with a big knife in his hand.

Horses neighed and dust flew.

The armies from both sides surged towards each other like a flood.

The sound of killing shook the sky.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Lu Ming flew up and down with his big sword. At this moment, six or seven Showa soldiers had been killed by him.

He Guanyu was not bad either. He used a standard long sword like a broadsword and killed several Showa soldiers.

This is an opportunity to make a difference.

The soldiers under Lu Ming were very brave and killed wildly.

On the top of the city wall, Shunsuke Yamamoto watched his soldiers being killed and falling off their horses, and he was furious.

Qu Lang frowned. These Showa soldiers were not good at fighting on horseback.

He turned around and ordered his deputy general to send troops to support.

Lu Ming beheaded a Showa soldier with a knife. When he looked up, a large number of soldiers and horses rushed out of the city.

His face changed, "Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Lu Ming led his army to retreat.

The Showa army thought they were scared and chased them on horseback.

Qu Lang looked at Shunsuke Yamamoto, "Hurry up and get your people back."

"They have already lost, why retreat? I, the Showa warrior, will never retreat."

Qu Lang wanted to slap him in the face.

These uncivilized barbarians did not understand the art of war at all.

But Emperor Yuan relied heavily on these dwarfs.

These dwarfs burned, killed and looted in the city, and Emperor Yuan turned a blind eye.

"General Yamamoto, don't chase after a desperate enemy... This is most likely Ning Chen's strategy to lure the enemy. Lu Ming's arrival here means that Ning Chen's army is not far away."

Yamamoto Shunsuke was full of disdain, "That's the best, just in time to chop off Ning Chen's head and avenge General Sakamoto Mitsuki."

Qu Lang's eyes were as big as cow eggs, and he was completely stunned... Can a normal person say this?

Chop off Ning Chen's head? Where the hell do you get your confidence from?

Sakamoto Mitsuki's head has been sent back, and your 30,000 Showa troops are probably wiped out. You still want to chop off Ning Chen's head?

Qu Lang looked at the deputy general, "Sound the horn to retreat!"

Dong, dong, dong! ! !

The war drums beat.

All Qu Lang's soldiers stopped and returned the same way.

But the Showa army didn't understand the meaning of the drums at all. They waved their swords and chased Lu Ming and others.

Lu Ming looked back and found that Qu Lang's people had retreated, and only the Showa people were chasing them.

He was about to order a counterattack when he saw yellow earth rolling in front of him.

Ning Chen led his army to arrive!
