In these five days, Xia Qi gathered a total of three thousand troops.

After sending out the deer and other scouts and confirming that there are no ambush along the way, the cavalry will go first, followed by the infantry.

In this battle, Xia Qi devoted all his resources. If he couldn't eliminate the opponent in one go, the consequences could be imagined.

The whole army marched for a day, and finally saw a huge shadow appearing in front of them before dark. It was the first goal of Xia Qi's trip, and it was also the westernmost city of the civilization to which Wang Ting belonged.

"Chief, the sun is almost setting, do you want to continue to attack the city?" Xiong, who was standing next to Xia Qi, asked.

During the last battle in Qingyan City, Xiong did not go with him, but defended Daxia City with Pan. After learning that Xia Qi was almost successfully attacked on the battlefield, Xiong complained to Bai Lang.

Bai Lang was also speechless. In that battle, the spearmen he led encountered a huge blockage, and they also played a great role on the battlefield. He himself also took the lead.

However, it is also true that the head of my family was almost successfully attacked by surprise.

"No hurry, how are the preparations we asked you to make? You will have to work hard on this project." Xia Qi looked at Xiong.

Xiong said with a solemn expression: "Don't worry, patriarch, this time we have brought most of the kerosene in the city, and we also collected a lot of dry firewood along the way."

"good."

Xia Qi nodded when he heard this, looked at the scattered figures on the opposite city wall, and ordered: "Order the bed crossbow troops to destroy all the bed crossbows on the opponent's city wall!"

Just when Daxia City was preparing to attack, Wang Tian's solemn expression became much less serious when he saw that the number of troops under the city was not even as large as his own.

But he did not become contemptuous because of this. In the battle of Qingyan City, he knew that the opponent's troops were very powerful.

For this reason, he specially piled most of the troops he had mobilized into this city. As long as he could block the opponent's troops here, the troops forced from behind would follow.

When the time comes, the two armies will join forces and directly counterattack the other side!

When Wang Tian was in his reverie, a heavy crossbow arrow suddenly shot from under the city. It passed by him and only heard a loud "bang" sound. A bed crossbow not far away from him was directly shot.

Turned into a pile of parts.

A scout came to report before that there were at least 4,000 soldiers hoarded in this city.

Originally, the opponent's soldiers had more soldiers than our own, and in addition, it was a siege. If we had to force it, we might be able to capture the city in the end, but we would also suffer heavy losses.

The city in front of him only had two east and west gates, and Xia Qi was sure that there was a large amount of sand accumulated in the gate openings, which was a very common practice.

So Xia Qi subsequently changed his engineering strategy.

In this battle, the large shields left by Yang Peng came into play.

After all the harvesting equipment in the city was destroyed, the shield axemen immediately carried large shields and piled the actual firewood under a section of the city wall, and then poured kerosene on it.

boom!!!

The firewood was ignited by the rockets and shot up more than ten meters high, illuminating the surrounding area like daylight.

If Wang Ting were here, he would definitely be able to detect what Xia Qi wanted to do and would try his best to stop it from the beginning, but it is a pity that he is not here.

Although Wang Tian was highly relied upon, he had never studied physics and did not understand the principles of heat, expansion and contraction. In his opinion, the other party's actions were somewhat inexplicable.

But this is good, as it also saves the opponent from attacking at night.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

This fire kept burning all night, and the Daxia City side would add firewood inside from time to time to ensure that the fire would not go out.

By this time, this section of the city wall had been burned so hot that it was completely unbearable.

Later, Xia Qi asked someone to carry buckets of water and pour it on that section of the city wall.

Chi...

Cold water was poured on the hot city wall, causing loud noises and a large amount of white smoke.

At first, the defenders on Wang Tian's side were still watching with confusion, but what happened next was beyond their understanding.

Click! Click!

The sound of the city wall cracking kept coming, and Wang Tianfang was so frightened that he flew out of his mind.

"The wall is about to burst!"

"what happened!"

"The other side must have used magic!"

"Listen, the sound has stopped, the city wall is fine!"

"That's great, it scared me to death."

Then the sound of the city wall stopped, and everyone looked at the dense cracks on the city wall, with expressions on their faces as if they were surviving a disaster.

At this moment, eight crossbows from Daxia City launched at the same time and shot at the cracked city wall.

This section of the city wall that had reached its limit could no longer support it.

"The wall is down!"

As this section of the city wall cracked, Daxia City also launched a counterattack.

Without waiting for them to react, the axe-shielders swarmed forward. After seizing the gap, they began to quickly carry away the collapsed waste.

"Quick, stop them!"

Wang Tian was indeed a general who was trusted by the royal court. He was the first to react and quickly organized his troops to stop the attack.

However, the soldiers guarding the city had not recovered from the shock just now, so the bows and arrows they fired were sparse and had no effect at all.

"Fire the arrow——"

The archers on the Daxia City side were not there to watch. They immediately fired a wave of arrows at the city wall, suppressing the defenders immediately.

After all, no one stipulates that arrows can only be fired when defending the city, right?

When Wang Tian saw this, he gritted his teeth and greeted the surrounding shield soldiers: "Follow me!"

After saying that, he took the lead and rushed out with his spear. Seeing this, the large shield soldiers present hesitated for a moment and hurriedly chased after him.

"Well done!"

Seeing someone rushing towards him, Xiong immediately rushed to greet him.

Wang Tian's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xiong. He was probably no match for such a general.

But now that the arrow was on the string, Wang Tian had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush towards the bear.

Seeing someone rushing toward him, the bear's lips curled up into a sneer, and then he faced him with a sword.

The green bull with only four stars of bravery could fight him back and forth. Facing the bear with five stars of bravery, Wang Tian was no match. In less than ten rounds, he was hacked to the ground by the bear.

At this time, Qingyang had also led the cavalry to rush in through the break in the city wall.

From now on, there is no suspense in this siege.

From the official start of the siege to the end of the battle, it only took less than a morning. You must know that there are more than 4,000 defenders in this city!

"Clan leader, what should we do with those prisoners?"

After hearing this, Xia Qi glanced at the group of prisoners who had been captured in the distance. At this time, these prisoners were still frightened. Obviously, they had not escaped from the city just now.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He recovered from the collapse of the wall.

After a siege battle, there was no resistance at all, and less than 500 people died. In other words, there were still 3,500 prisoners.

Xia Qi began to hesitate. In his original plan, he wanted to kill these people, firstly to pay tribute to the soldiers and civilians who died in the Battle of Qingyan City, and also to prevent these people from causing rebellion. But now that he thinks about it,

Wouldn't it be a pity to kill so many people?

Moreover, the war is not over yet. If the lives of the prisoners they killed are passed on to other places, the defenders there will definitely resist desperately, which is really disadvantageous for Xia Qi.

But in the current situation, if he chooses to accept these prisoners, if these prisoners defect before the war, it will obviously be detrimental to them and even damage the morale of his army. But if he keeps these prisoners behind, if something happens,

If something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome.

At this thought, Xia Qi immediately stopped hesitating and said, "Kill them all."

As he said these three words, the young enemy soldier who had just been captured from the city wall by a shield and ax soldier suddenly changed his face, and then struggled wildly, "Stop! We have surrendered! If you do this,

Don’t you think it’s too cruel?!”

Xia Qi paused when he heard this, and then suddenly showed a cold smile, "I'm sorry, I have always been cold-blooded and ruthless towards my enemies, and I'm particularly cruel!"

Xia Qi's decisiveness and ruthlessness obviously exceeded the young man's imagination, but the young man was obviously not willing to die like this. He only heard him shout loudly again, "I know you are worried about us before the war."

I might rebel or cause some trouble, but what if I can make other soldiers obey me?!"

The young man's words caused a flash of surprise in Xia Qi's eyes. Let's not talk about other things. At least this young man's mind is quite fast and he is also courageous. However, this is not enough to make Xia Qi change his mind...

"Don't waste your efforts. Your army has committed unforgivable crimes in my city! My people cannot tolerate your existence. Do you understand?"

Xia Qi's tone of voice was so calm and despairing, because it meant that what he just said failed to sway the decision of the man in front of him at all. On the contrary, he was shaken by Xia Qi's words.

As a soldier, he naturally knows what kind of things their army will do after capturing a city. There are too many shocking things such as rape, adultery, robbery, and killing games.

So much so that the young man didn't know how to refute it at this moment. Although he was ashamed to be associated with that group of people, he had no ability to prevent such things from happening.

"You, you can't think that everyone deserves to die just because some people have done unscrupulous things. This approach is too arrogant and overbearing!" The young man argued bravely.

It has to be said that the other party's remarks made Xia Qi surprisingly interested, "So what? Arrogance and domineering are the privileges of the strong!"

If you say he is arrogant and domineering, how about he admit without hesitation that I am arrogant and overbearing? Such a character caught the young man off guard.

At this time, the young man suddenly realized that he was wrong. The man in front of him was very different from the Wang Ting in his impression.

He doesn't pretend to be wise, let alone a saint. He shows his domineering character unabashedly, making people unable to feel the slightest bit of hypocrisy!

But when it comes to his own life, it is obviously impossible for the young man to give up like this.

"Wait a minute! I can guarantee it! I guarantee that none of the people I selected have done any of those unscrupulous things, and I can also provide you with information about other cities and even help you capture the next city!"

Without any time to think, the young man threw out all his chips in one go.
