Chapter 1167: Pretext for War

The news of Qin Tian's departure from Black Sun City was not deliberately concealed.

Therefore, it soon spread to hundreds of surrounding cities.

To be honest, everyone is under a lot of pressure as a neighbor in Heiyang City.

Because Heiyang City has a lot of people, a lot of money, and strong military equipment.

These city lords from Taixu Realm are not fools, on the contrary, they are very smart.

That year, there was a shocking explosion in Moyun City, which directly destroyed the 50,000-strong army of Weishan City. Although there is no direct evidence that the person behind it was Qin Tian, ​​everyone knew that Qin Tian sent people to do this.

Secondly, after the defeat of the Weishan Army, six city lords formed an 80,000-strong coalition to annex Heiyang City, but were easily defeated by Qin Tian and instead annexed the populations of those six cities.

The artillery revealed in that battle frightened all the cities. It was a weapon more terrifying than the crossbow.

If their cultivation was still there, the so-called artillery would not be qualified to scratch their itch, but now, it is a weapon that makes them feel frightened and terrified.

What made them even more puzzled was how Qin Tian invented so many things.

For this reason, various cities sent people to explore the secret many times, but the people sent never returned.

Fortunately, after defeating the six-city coalition, Black Sun City had no plans to invade any of the cities, but these city lords knew very well that Qin Tian had the ability to annex them.

Now, Qin Tian actually left Black Sun City, and for a while, all the city lords became ready to make a move.

On the third day after Qin Tian left, countless people with evil intentions quietly entered Black Sun City.

That night, it was dark and windy.

It also provides a lot of convenience for some caring people.

On the tallest building in the city lord's palace, the leader of the secret guards, An Yi, stood facing the wind. His eyes seemed to see through the night, and he could see the figures about to move under the cover of the night. Suddenly, An Yi's mouth showed a sarcastic smile:

"Idiots, I'm afraid you still don't know that this is an opportunity deliberately given to you by the adults!"

At some point, two silent men in black appeared in front of An Yi.

"Have the targets been locked?"

After a while, An Yi slowly spoke.

"Back to the leader, we have all locked up, a total of 1,365 people!" One of the men in black responded coldly.

"Very well, let's do it!"

Yami waved his hand.

"yes!"

The two disappeared quietly again.

An hour later.

The two men in black appeared again and said: "Leader, all targets have been solved and two hundred people have been captured alive!"

"Give them to General Long, I believe he will be very happy!"

An Yi smiled.

Eleven years ago, when the six-city coalition attacked, Long Tiejiang thought he would have a chance to show off his skills. As a result, before he had time to take action, the enemy had been completely eliminated.

Over the years, he has often clamored for war in front of the city lord, but he was dismissed by the city lord.

This shows how depressed he is.

But the spies arrested tonight gave Long Tiejiang an excuse to take action.

As expected, Long Tiejiang couldn't help but be overjoyed after receiving the more than two hundred spies, and summoned the generals to discuss matters overnight.

As a result, the generals under him had not arrived yet, but Xu Huanzhi, the leader of the civil servants, arrived first.

Suddenly Long Tiejiang's expression changed, and he quickly ordered the guard: "Tell him that I have gone to bed and ask him to come back tomorrow!"

"Tsk, tsk, a sleeping person can still talk, General Long, are you talking in your sleep?"

At this time, Xu Huanzhi barged in unceremoniously and made a joke.

Suddenly, Long Tiejiang's face turned red: "I'm just talking in my sleep. Why are you here? If you haven't left yet, you might want to sleep with me!"

"I've heard people tell lies with their eyes open, but you are the first to talk in their sleep with your eyes open!" Xu Huanzhi said jokingly.

"Bang!"

Long Tiejiang slapped the table fiercely: "Xu Huanzhi, I told you clearly that no one can stop me this time. I want to send troops and fight. Even if the city lord is here, I will say the same thing!"

"Tsk, tsk, you've gained a lot of skills. Can you give me a try here, the city lord?" Xu Huanzhi said disapprovingly: "Now it seems that you are not only good at talking in sleep, but you are also very good at bragging!"

"Xu Huanzhi...!"

"Okay!"

Seeing that the teasing was over, Xu Huanzhi waved his hand: "Old Long, actually the city lord had made arrangements before he left. He knew that after he left, you, this old guy, would definitely shake things up, so he left an order, You can take away 50,000 from Black Sun City's army, and all armaments can be selected from Warehouse No. 1, but there is a requirement. You can only win but not lose. If you lose, you will be removed from your position as general and let you come. Be a civil servant!”

"Being a civil servant?" Long Tiejiang shuddered, and then shook his head fiercely: "Being a civil servant is not something that people do, and I wouldn't do it even to death!"

But soon, he noticed that Xu Huanzhi's expression was wrong, and realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized: "Haha, it was my fault, brother Huanzhi, I apologize to you!"

"Forget it, I won't argue with you. It's late at night and I'm going back to sleep!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Huanzhi turned around and left.

And Long Tiejiang also breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending this old guy away.

The next day, Heiyang City announced that spies from Chongshan City were trying to find out the secrets of Heiyang City. Heiyang City was preparing to use troops against Chongshan City, and those three spies would be the targets of the flag sacrifice.

"Puff puff puff!"

Blood sprayed, and the three heads flew high, and then were hung on the flagpole.

The 50,000 Heiyang Army also set off for Chongshan City an hour later.

When Long Tiejiang led 50,000 Heiyang troops to dispatch, Qin Tian received a telegram from Heiyang City. Yes, he had invented the telegraph machine, mainly because the communications in this world were too backward.

After more than ten years of development, the population of Chongshan City has exceeded 180,000, and the city guard force has barely exceeded 10,000.

It's not that the city lord of Chongshan City doesn't want to continue to expand his army, it's just that it's too expensive to raise an army and he can't afford it.

Because of the backward communication, it was not until the fifth day after Long Tiejiang set off that Chongshan City received the news that the Black Yang Army was coming to attack him.

Three more days passed.

The Black Sun Army arrived at Chongshan City, which was under complete martial law.

Standing on the city wall, the Lord of Chongshan City saw the 50,000 troops below, with worry written all over his face.

"Artillery, blast the city wall for me!"

Long Tiejiang shouted.

Suddenly, ten blasts sounded at the same time, and shells hit the city wall heavily. Amidst the screams, a large gap was soon blasted out of the wall of Chongshan City.

"It's over!"

When the city lord of Chongshan City saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head sadly, wiped his neck decisively, and left in a stream of light.

Because he knew that he had no chance.

As soon as the city lord left, Chongshan City became leaderless. After seeing the terrifying power of the artillery, the entire Chongshan City surrendered directly.

But the surrendered soldiers not only did not have any worries, but were extremely happy and excited.

Because the Black Sun Army is not bloodthirsty, as long as they cooperate honestly, they will be recruited by the Black Sun Army.

It is said that the citizens of Heiyang City are extremely wealthy, and Heiyang City likes to move the residents of defeated cities to Heiyang City.

"You're surrendering now?"

Long Tiejiang felt very tasteless, especially when he saw the expectant and longing faces in Chongshan City, he almost yelled, "What the hell is this?"

I'm here to fight, not to take you to Black Sun City.

However, plundering the population was Qin Tian's plan, and he did not dare to go against it. No matter how impatient he was, he had to order people to collect the army of Chongshan City first, and then organize people to move the residents of Chongshan City to Heiyang City.

Fortunately, Xu Huanzhi sent someone to take over the matter a few days later, and Long Tiejiang was able to escape from it.

After the handover was completed, Long Tiejiang, who was feeling depressed, immediately led his army towards another city.

This time, he learned wisely.

Before setting off, he notified Xu Huanzhi to prepare his manpower, and when he captured Xialong City, he would immediately send people to take over.

Xia Longcheng and Chongshan City were equally powerful.

This time, Long Tiejiang was even more depressed. Before the cannon was fired, the city gate opened automatically, and then a group of people came out and surrendered.

As for their city lord, he had already left early.

Fortunately, the city lord of the third city has a relatively tenacious character. Although he knew that he could not be the opponent of the Black Sun Army, he still chose to fight.

This made Long Tiejiang very happy.

However, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great. In less than half an hour, the Black Sun Army directly captured the city.

In the next month, Long Tiejiang defeated three cities in a row.

Then when he came to another city, he found that there were nearly 200,000 troops waiting under the city wall.

Obviously, some cities have joined forces.

Before the army could gain a firm foothold, the 200,000-strong army launched a charge. Obviously, they wanted to catch the Black Sun Army by surprise.

"hehe!"

Seeing this scene, a flash of disdain flashed in Long Tiejiang's eyes, and he ordered: "Give me the mortar!"

Thousands of mortars fired in unison after a few breaths, falling into the coalition forces and exploding.

A round of artillery shells plowed through, taking away the lives of tens of thousands of coalition soldiers, and the mortars were fired at an extremely fast speed. A second round of artillery shells followed, which directly stunned the coalition forces and lost their courage.

At this moment, nineteen people stood side by side on the city wall.

Seeing the situation below, they all shook their heads secretly, knowing that they had lost this battle.

"How did he make such a weapon?"

A city lord asked doubtfully.

"I don't understand!" Another person shook his head: "It seems to be using a different system, without any energy fluctuations at all!"

"Let's go, there's no need to look any further!"

Another city lord spoke lonely.

Then, the nineteen city lords wiped their necks and turned into streams of light and left.

As soon as the nineteen city lords left, the soldiers below threw away their weapons and surrendered, and the war ended.

Soon, the results of this battle were spread to every city within a radius of 100,000 miles.

They all understand.

The fate of these city lords is their fate in the future.

Some people simply leave.

Some people were unwilling to give up and started to contact everyone, and finally came up with a way to intercept and kill Qin Tian.

As long as Qin Tian is killed, Heiyang City will be leaderless and fall into civil strife. They can also take the opportunity to seize Heiyang City's foundation and strengthen themselves. (To be continued)
