Chapter 908: Gaining a Wave of Favorability
The road leading to the South Gate was now crowded with frightened people, including the old, weak, women and children.
They were trembling like frightened birds!
Behind the people were the soldiers of Nanyue, all of whom were drawing their bows and shooting arrows at these people.
This was Kang Luo's strategy.
A Nanyue general, with a smug look on his face, shouted: "Daxuan soldiers, if you dare to take another step forward, don't blame us for firing arrows and let all these people die in front of you."
The soldiers of Daxuan did not dare to move forward, so they could only stop and stare at the Nanyue soldiers angrily.
Yuan Long immediately ordered people to check if there were other ways?
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the answer he got was that there were Daxuan people on every road leading to the South Gate.
Yuan Long and others were at a loss for a moment.
On the widest main road in the city, Kang Luo, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, came on horseback with his men.
Lei An said angrily: "Kang Luo, the dignified prince of Nanyue, I didn't expect him to be so mean. He is no match for us on the battlefield, but he actually used such a despicable method."
Kang Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Who are you?"
"Lei An!"
Kang Luo said, "I have heard of your name, a general under Ning Chen... Unfortunately, you are not qualified to talk to this prince. Let Ning Chen come. This prince has to leave and say goodbye to him!"
Lei An had no choice but to send someone to notify Ning Chen.
Ning Chen's 110,000 troops rushed in from the city gate at this time.
Ning Chen took Pan Yucheng and others and entered the city slowly.
He wanted to climb the tower to observe the battle situation in the city, but a scout galloped over.
When he arrived, the scout turned over and dismounted.
"Your Majesty, Nanyue took the people as hostages and blocked our army's way. Our army dare not act rashly...The prince of Nanyue asked to see the prince, please make a decision!"
Ning Chen's face sank slightly.
"Lead the way!"
Ning Chen followed the scouts, running all the way, and finally met Kang Luo.
But when he saw the situation clearly, he couldn't help but groan in his heart.
Kang Luo's move was really vicious, and there was no solution at all.
Unless he gave up the lives of these people.
But if so, he would not be the Great Xuan God of War, but the Great Xuan Devil, and his previous good reputation would collapse.
Kang Luo saw Ning Chen and shouted: "Great Xuan Regent Ning Chen, you are so cruel. You know that the people of Yangzhou are in my hands, but you dare to attack the city regardless of anything. You are abandoning hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou.
People of Daxuan, take a good look, this is the hero you call, the savior of Daxuan... He doesn't take your lives seriously at all."
Ning Chen's face sank slightly, this grandson is ruining his reputation.
"Kang Luo, you don't need to stir up trouble here. The people of my Great Xuan know right from wrong and good from evil.
If I don't attack the city, they will always be your slaves.
I blasted the city gate with thunder and rushed into the city. This is the real way to save the people of my Great Xuan... So far, no civilians have been killed or injured."
Kang Luo sneered, "You abandoned the lives of the people of Yangzhou and still spoke so high-soundingly... I have to say that the Regent has a good mouth."
Ning Chen said disdainfully, "I said, the people of my Great Xuan are not so easy to fool, and my character cannot be corrupted by your few words.
My people of Great Xuan, don't be afraid... I am here to protect you."
Kang Luo sneered again and again, "How can you protect? As long as this prince gives an order, arrows will be fired, and these people will die here."
The people were panicked and trembling with fear.
Some children cried out in fear.
Ning Chen said coldly: "Kang Luo, I still say the same thing. If you dare to hurt a citizen of Daxuan, I will massacre a city of your Nanyue... I swear to heaven and keep my word."
Kang Luo narrowed his eyes and stared at Ning Chen, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Ning Chen, since you love your Daxuan people so much, then for these people, I ask you to kneel in front of me, this is not too much, right?
At the beginning, when I was an envoy to Daxuan, you forced me and my country's national teacher to kneel in front of your Daxuan Emperor... Now, I want to avenge my previous shame, I want you to kneel.
If you refuse, I will immediately order the arrows to shoot them to death."
Ning Chen stared at him expressionlessly, and said word by word: "Kang Luo, think about it... For the sake of the people of Daxuan, I can kneel. But I am in I swear, today I kneel down, and one day I will make your Nanyue royal family kneel down and repent in front of me.
Also, if I were you, I would think of escaping immediately!
You blocked my way with the people, but at the same time you also restrained yourself. It seems that you want these archers to stay and die. "
Kang Luo sneered, "Don't worry about it. I estimate that my Nanyue army has safely withdrawn from the city... Ning Chen, kneel down immediately now."
Ning Chen's mouth corners slightly raised. Want him to kneel, what's the point?
He bet Kang Luo didn't dare to order the arrows to be fired.
Once the arrows were fired, and a Daxuan citizen died, he could order the Ning'an army to rush up in the name of protecting the people... At that time, Kang Luo and his archers would not be able to escape.
Kang Luo did this just to buy time for the Nanyue army to retreat, and by the way, he wanted to avenge the kneeling when he was sent to Daxuan.
However, in front of so many Daxuan soldiers and people, he still had to pretend.
"Kang Luo, for the sake of the people, I can kneel...but remember, I swear to the sky here that one day I will crush you in South Vietnam, and make your South Vietnam royal family kneel before me from top to bottom. before the king."
Ning Chen said, turning over and dismounting.
Da Xuan's officers and men were filled with anger and wanted to tear the South Vietnamese soldiers alive.
Leian shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't kneel!"
"My lord, you cannot kneel. You are the regent of Daxuan. How can you accept this humiliation?"
"Your Majesty, you can't kneel..."
Not only the Daxuan soldiers, but also the people were shouting that they could not kneel.
"Your Majesty, you are the hero of my Daxuan. You cannot kneel... Common people are not afraid of death. Your Majesty cannot kneel..."
"Let them shoot the grassroots and ask the prince to avenge the grassroots."
"I beg you, Your Majesty, to wipe out all the thieves and protect me, Daxuan..."
The people were furious.
Kang Luo's expression changed.
Ning Chen laughed loudly: "Kang Luo, have you seen it? This is the backbone and blood of the people of my Daxuan... I can kneel, but this kneeling is not for you, but for heaven and earth, for my Daxuan The lives of the people.
For the sake of our Daxuan people, Ning kneels down willingly, hahaha..."
However, at this moment, a fast horse galloped up to Kang Luo and whispered a few words beside Kang Luo.
After Kang Luo heard this, he looked coldly at Ning Chen, who had a straight waist, with a pale face.
He could see that when Ning Chen said he was kneeling, he was just putting on a show. He had no intention of kneeling at all.
Unexpectedly, instead of making Ning Chen kneel down, Ning Chen actually gained a good impression in the hearts of Daxuan people.
