"Monster, monster..."

On top of the city, when Shi Ming saw those skeleton soldiers with terrifying faces, he felt extremely frightened and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

In his decades of life, he had always considered ghosts and ghosts to be absurd legends. However, now that he had witnessed the skeleton soldiers that were beyond common sense, he really couldn't accept it.

If he, a well-educated official, is like this, let alone those common people and soldiers who have never studied and are illiterate?

They believed very strongly in the theory of gods and ghosts. When they saw that the Bei'an Army could control skeleton soldiers to fight, they immediately thought it was an army of gods or monsters. Fighting with such an army frightened them more than killing them directly.

For a time, thousands of people threw away their weapons, and the Haeju Army's front collapsed instantly.

Once the front line is defeated, the city's fall is imminent.

Shi Ming felt that all the strength in his body was drained out, and his body slumped to the ground.

"Lord Zhou Mu..."

The personal guards rushed over to help him up, but Shi Ming waved his hand and stood up with difficulty.

He looked at the Bei'an Army coming towards the city, and then turned to look inside the city.

Some militias composed of ordinary people are still preparing to go to war. They have not gone up to the city wall, so they cannot see the situation outside. They are still holding weapons, with a mix of nervousness, fear, excitement and other emotions on their faces.

Even if we send out all these militiamen again, what's the point?

Shi Ming understood that the situation was over. Now he would release these militiamen. They would either die or surrender, and they would not be able to cause any trouble to the Bei'an Army.

"Let everyone put down their weapons and go home."

"Sir?! That city..."

"The city can no longer be defended." Shi Ming said sadly.

There is only despair in his heart now. A vanguard force of about a thousand people from the Bei'an Army can defeat his entire Haizhou. Then when the large army arrives, who in the entire Jiangnan can resist?

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Wang Ben, whom he had killed. The latter's words, "The Bei'an Army has settled down to dominate the world," echoed in his ears at this moment.

Maybe Wang Ben is right. Resistance has no other meaning than letting Haizhou people die.

As Haizhou's state pastor, Shi Ming couldn't bear to let more Haizhou people die.

When the guards saw this, they looked at each other.

They saw Shi Ming's face was haggard, his eyes were sunken, and he looked as if he had suddenly aged twenty years and was about to die.

Wow!

Everyone immediately dispersed.

Shi Mingdu looked like it was over, and other soldiers who still wanted to survive naturally had to find other ways to make a living.

Most of the guards ran towards the city, hoping to hide. One of them even took off his armor and threw away his sword while running, pretending to be an ordinary citizen as much as possible.

Shi Ming watched dumbly as everyone fled, then he turned to look at the main battlefield. Almost all the Tang Sect disciples he had placed high hopes on were nowhere to be seen, and they might have all died.

On the other hand, looking back at how many people the Bei'an Army had when they came, the size of the army now is not small at all.

There were very few casualties to be seen.

Moreover, the two extremely powerful generals, Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba, had already rushed to the city wall at this time. Both of them flew to jump onto the city wall to complete the final capture.

Shi Ming did not run away. His heart skipped a beat and he drew out the long sword from his waist with a sharp sound.

“The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes!

!”

After sighing, he swiped the long sword in front of his neck before Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba rushed to capture him alive.

puff……

Blood spurted out, and Shi Ming fell to the ground, dying with his eyes open.

Zhao Yun took a step back and failed to stop him, so he couldn't help but frown.

It would be better to capture a high-ranking state pastoral official like Shi Ming alive. Now that Shi Ming committed suicide, it was hard for him to explain to Su Yuan.

However, Zhao Yun did not think too much. What had happened could not be undone, so he concentrated on cleaning up the remaining soldiers on the city wall.

After it was absolutely safe near the city wall, Su Yuan and others came in from outside the city.

Several soldiers from the Bei'an Army carried Shi Ming's body to Su Yuan. Su Yuan learned from Zhao Yun that it was suicide, and said with emotion: "This old guy still has some guts, but it's a pity that he is an enemy."

He will still have some respect for his enemies who committed suicide, but no coward would dare to do such a thing.

But it's a pity. As an enemy, Su Yuan must also want this old guy to die.

He said to everyone: "Everyone, please pay attention, we can't relax now. We have only taken down the city gate. There may be many soldiers in the city who want to fight with us in the streets. Don't be careless."

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

Su Yuan asked the special operations teams trained by Tanya to investigate and advance separately, and slowly investigate other dangers in the city.

He himself temporarily stayed on the top of the inner city. Although it received a few heavy artillery rounds, it was still relatively well preserved.

Not long after, several Bei'an Army soldiers brought Tang Ming over.

Tang Ming's hands were tied behind his back at this moment, and he had no chance to use a hidden weapon. Even if he had, there were many martial arts masters around him, and Su Yuan was protected by the four swords of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, so there would be no chance of succeeding with the hidden weapon.

"You said earlier that Miss Tang is a friend of the Bei'an Army. Do you know her whereabouts?"

Tang Ming didn't care about being tied up, he was more concerned about Tang Ziyu's safety.

Su Yuandao: "Miss Tang is safe."

"...Where is she now, Jiangbei?"

"Why don't you tell me about yourself first?" Su Yuan asked, "Looking at you, you seem to know the inside story of the previous battle with the Tang Sect."

Tang Ming nodded after hearing this.

"I know."

"So, you know that Tang Lin is an enemy of the Tang clan, and yet you still work hard for him?"

"This is just an expedient measure!" Tang Ming said, "Now that I am sure that Miss Tang is safe and has not fallen into Tang Lin's hands, I will naturally not listen to him again."

"oh."

"Your Excellency...can you tell me where Miss Tang is? I want to find her and plan revenge together."

"You don't have to look for her. She will come to Jiangnan soon." After Su Yuan finished speaking, Tang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

"However, I can't trust you yet. Before Miss Tang arrives, just be a prisoner."

"...I understand."

Tang Ming did not object, he knew that he was not qualified to object.

The Bei'an Army's previous words to their Tang Clan disciples were only to "save their lives for the time being", but they did not say that they would let them go.

No matter what the Bei'an Army did to them, there was nothing they could do.

Now Tang Ming will not resist the Bei'an Army. He just wants to wait for Tang Ziyu to arrive, and then work together to find a way to kill Tang Lin and avenge the old fort master.

Su Yuan asked people to take Tang Ming down.

Half a day later, after the Prefectural Mufu Mansion was cleaned up, Su Yuan moved in. He planned to stay here temporarily and wait for Qi Jiguang and his people to arrive before proceeding to the next step.

…

Beijing port.

On this day, many people came unexpectedly.

There is Tang Ziyu. She collected and purchased a large amount of poison materials in Mozhou, which is enough to prepare two rounds of peacock feather ammunition. It may not be as powerful as the materials collected in Shuzhou, but the effect can be four-fifths of the previous one.

When she learned that Su Yuan had gone to Jiangnan, she immediately rushed back to the capital without stopping to follow Qi Jiguang's "shuttle" to Jiangnan.

She did not take the Qinjiang route this time like she did when she came to the capital, because she had no choice then. Now that there are choices, she naturally chooses the safest route.

Before taking revenge, she would not allow herself to take any unnecessary risks.

Also coming to the port was Jia Wu from Beifeng City.

The last time he came to the capital to provide information about Jiayi, Su Yuan promised him that he would take him with him when he went to Jiangnan.

Su Yuan had set off in a hurry before and did not wait for Jiawu, but he was notified by someone. So he would set off with Qi Jiguang like Tang Ziyu.

After Jiawu arrived at the military camp, Qi Jiguang met him specially and gave him the "sacred stone".

Jiawu was very confused and didn't know what this meant.

Qi Jiguang told him that this was what Su Yuan meant. Su Yuan told him before he left that when Jia Wu came, give him this stone to hold, it might help with the wounds on his face and his practice.

Jiawu was quite touched when he found out. He didn't expect that an unknown person, a very inconspicuous little player in the Bei'an Army, would actually make Su Yuan care about him so much.

Moved, he took the stone with him and never left it.

A few days later, the weather was clear and cloudless. Qi Jiguang knew that the good day he had been waiting for had come.

He announced that the Bei'an military fleet would set off today for Haizhou!

The sergeants have been impatient for a long time, and Jiawu, Tang Ziyu and others can't wait to get their wings and go to Jiangnan immediately.
