Kang Luo had received the news a long time ago and had been waiting for Ning Chen on the tower.
Seeing Ning Chen's army setting up camp, Kang Luo waited quietly.
He knew that Ning Chen would definitely come to see him.
Sure enough, after a while, Ning Chen appeared at the foot of the city alone.
Ning Chen turned over and dismounted, leaving Diao Chan out of the range of the bow and arrow.
He could escape from the rain of arrows, but Diao Chan couldn't.
Ning Chen walked slowly to the bottom of the city and looked up at Kang Luo.
The South Vietnamese soldiers on the city tower bent their bows and arrows, aiming at Ning Chen.
Kang Luo is still dressed in white, looking suave.
"Ning Chen, long time no see!"
Ning Chen showed a bright smile, "Did you miss me?"
Kang Luo smiled and nodded, "Of course...after all, in this world, you are the only one who can impress me.
To be honest, I was quite sad after you left Daxuan... After all, it's hard to find an opponent. Without you, who in the world would be my opponent? "
Ning Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and shouted: "It's windy."
Kang Luo was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ning Chen teased: "What I mean is, the wind is strong, don't flash your tongue.
Xiaokangzi, you really dare to brag, you South Vietnam have no talent, right? Are you blown away by them all? "
Kang Luo was not angry, but asked: "Ning Chen, ask yourself, if you hadn't come back...do you think Daxuan would have fallen into my hands?"
Ning Chen said contemptuously: "Stop bragging! You haven't even managed to capture the most beautiful woman in South Vietnam, and you still want to capture Daxuan."
Kang Luo's face suddenly darkened.
In Gaoli Kingdom, Ning Chen poisoned the national master to death in front of him, scaring him so much that he carried his horse and ran away at night... It was precisely because of this incident that the beauties of South Vietnam now shun him.
It has to be said that Ning Chen has a unique ability to make people angry, and he specializes in poking at others' hearts.
Ning Chen continued: "Kang Luo, I will give you a chance to take your people back to South Vietnam and release Daxuan's 100,000 soldiers... If you dare to say no, I will lead my army to crush you. South Vietnam."
Kang Luo sneered and dismissed it.
"Ning Chen, I will give you a chance. Take your people back to Daxuan Capital and release my 30,000 South Vietnamese soldiers... Never set foot in the South. If you dare to say no, I will massacre Yangzhou. city.
As long as you dare to launch troops to attack the city, I, the prince, will massacre the city. The lives of more than 100,000 people in Yangzhou City are in your hands. "
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him, "I, Ning Chen, swear to the sky that if you dare to touch one of my Daxuan people, I will massacre your entire city in South Vietnam."
Kang Luo's face changed slightly, and then he sneered: "As expected of the Daxuan God of War, he speaks with toughness... However, even if you use soldiers like a god, you don't dare to abandon the lives of more than 100,000 people in Yangzhou City, right?
Ning Chen, why don't we talk about something practical? You and I both have each other's prisoners, but I have one hundred thousand, and you only have thirty thousand.
I have told you my conditions before in writing... Thirty thousand for thirty thousand, and I can release the remaining seventy thousand, but yours must be redeemed with grain, grass and silver.
But don’t even think about Yangzhou. Yangzhou and Baili Corridor must belong to me, Daxuan.
If you agree, Nanyue and Daxuan will be in peace from now on... Of course, you can refuse, and we will see the truth. "
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Kang Luo, how dare you open your mouth... Open your mouth and ask for one million stones of grain and thirty million taels of silver. Is your appetite too big?"
Kang Luo smiled and said: "Compared to the lives of your Daxuan's 70,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 people, what I want is not much, right?"
Ning Chen sneered, "My appetite is too big, be careful!"
Kang Luo said: "Don't worry, this prince is born with good teeth."
"Then you are a really good dog."
Kang Luo's face darkened, "Ning Chen, there's no point in using your words... I've already made my conditions, it's up to you whether I agree or not."
Ning Chen's face was as dark as water, "This king is never threatened."
Kang Luo joked: "Ning Chen, there is a first time for everything... I am honored that I am the first person to threaten you, and the success rate seems to be very high."
Ning Chen stared at him coldly, but soon showed a helpless smile.
"It seems I have no choice?"
Kang Luo's face was full of pride, "You can choose to give up the lives of the 100,000 prisoners in my hands and the lives of more than 100,000 people in Yangzhou."
Ning Chen took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, and said in a deep voice: "Let me think about it!"
Kang Luo nodded, "I'll give you one day... If I can't wait for your answer, then the transaction will be cancelled."
Ning Chen nodded, turned and left.
"Your Highness, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why didn't you just order him to be shot?"
A general asked in confusion.
Kang Luo glanced at him, "It's useless! Daxuan's Heavenly Master Baochen, Sword Immortal Liu Baiyi, and Xiliang Saint Tantai Qingyue, these three are all the best in martial arts in the world today... Ning Chen I received guidance from three of them.
With Ning Chen's current skills, a hail of arrows cannot stop him... The fact that he dares to come alone means that he has absolute confidence that he can escape unscathed. "
The general who asked the question was shocked. He didn't expect that Ning Chen was not only good at leading troops in battles, but his own strength was also so terrifying?
"Your Highness, will Ning Chen agree to your conditions?"
Kang Luo shook his head, "I don't know! Ning Chen's mind is the only thing I can't figure out in this world... But I guess he will agree. After all, we have 100,000 Daxuan captives and the people of Yangzhou.
Unless Ning Chen wants to bear the eternal infamy and attack the city regardless of the lives of these people."
On the other side, Ning Chen has returned to the camp.
He asked someone to find Yuan Long and others.
"Meet the prince!"
Ning Chen raised his hand, "No need to be polite...Are you ready?"
Yuan Long leaned over and said, "Everything is ready!"
Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Okay, notify them to let the soldiers recuperate and attack the city at midnight."
In fact, he had already decided to attack the city.
The reason why he met Kang Luo and said that he would consider the conditions he proposed was to delay time and let Kang Luo relax his vigilance.
Attack the city is also a last resort.
First, Daxuan does not have so much food and silver to give to Kang Luo now.
Second, ceding land and paying compensation, such a thing of losing power and humiliating the country will not be done by Daxuan.
The reason why he set the attack time at midnight, that is, 12 o'clock in the evening... is because at this time, the people are asleep. When he attacks the city, the people are at home, which can reduce casualties.
There are sacrifices in war, and there is nothing he can do about it.
He can only keep the people away from disasters as much as possible.
Moreover, he must attack the city in the shortest time possible and not give Kang Luo the opportunity to massacre the city.
Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Yuan Long, once the city gate is blasted open, you lead 3,000 Ning'an troops and go straight to the city lord's mansion. Don't let Kang Luo escape."
"Yes!"
"After entering the city, Lei An and Yue Congyun will each lead 3,000 Ning'an troops, and Lao Feng will lead the Modao troops... The three of you are still the main force, and you must defeat the morale of the Nanyue army in one fell swoop."
The three leaned over and said in unison: "I have received your order!"
Ning Chen arranged the battle plan in detail.
