…
The moment Lin Zhao stepped into the boundary of Tucheng, a ringing sound came to his ears. Sure enough, he was still in the plot mode. After conquering a city, Lin Zhao would get a plot compensation reward. The reward was not bad, at least it was harder than his own.
It's hard to grind monsters, but it's much better to complete tasks. The most important thing is that it actually gives you charm points. Charm points are hard to buy, but Lin Zhao has already accumulated a full 40 points. In the eyes of other players, this is almost useless.
It's very possible. After all, even a player of Shen Xingchen's level only has more than a dozen charm points. The gap is not that big.
"Wow!"
On the side, Chu Yu ordered two cavalrymen to open a topographic map of Dongwu Kingdom, stretched out his hand to point forward, and said: "Sir, there are two cities ahead, called Licheng and Sangcheng. They are both land of fish and rice. They are the land of Dongwu Kingdom.
This important fish and grain producing area has always been heavily guarded. We learned from the soldiers that there were more than 1,500 soldiers guarding Sang City, and they were all elite soldiers from the Dongwu Kingdom, skilled in bows and horses, and capable of guarding the city.
The military general is a famous general from the Dongwu Kingdom, named Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng has a very high prestige in the Dongwu Kingdom. If we can capture Sang City and make Xu Sheng surrender, then Licheng can be captured without any blood.
, because the defender of Licheng is a disciple of Xu Sheng."
"knew."
Lin Zhao frowned and said, "Chu Yu, how is Xu Sheng's conduct?"
Chu Yu said calmly: "He is an upright and loyal man. When a military tent of the Yao Clan went south, almost all the cities in the northern gateway of Dongwu Kingdom surrendered. Only Xu Sheng guarded Sang City and refused to surrender. In the end, he was still the leader of the country.
After issuing an order to dedicate the city, he opened the city and admitted the demon army into the city."
"oh?"
Lin Zhao was slightly startled and said: "The demon army is cruel and difficult to restrain. A lot of things must have happened later, right?"
"Um."
Chu Yu nodded and said: "I heard from the surrendered generals that after the demon clan entered Sang City, they did not commit any crime at first, but the next day they began to plunder property, kill people and set fires. In anger, Xu Sheng led three thousand defenders to fight with the demon clan.
After the clan fought in the city and killed more than 500 demon soldiers, they were relieved of their military power. From then on, Xu Sheng fell into despair and did not care about court affairs. He did not come back to the mountain until more than 20 years ago to guard the northwest gate of Dongwu Kingdom.
"
"knew."
Lin Zhao nodded: "Sangcheng, I still want to take it without bloodshed. Do you dare to accompany me? Let's go meet this Xu Sheng."
"Can."
Chu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Xu Sheng is just an eighth-level martial artist. Don't worry, sir. He won't dare to mess around with me."
"Um."
…
At noon in the game, Lin Zhao and Chu Yu led 500 cavalry and 1,000 soldiers to the front of Sang City. Sure enough, Sang City was a fortified city with city walls made of blue giant rocks, stretching nearly five miles from north to south.
Flags were planted everywhere, the defenders' swords and armor were bright, and spears thrust out. It was obvious that they were ready to fight Lin Zhao's 500 cavalry.
Chu Yu rode his horse forward slowly, came to the bottom of the city, lightly clasped his fists at the defenders on the city, and said: "My lord wants to meet General Xu Sheng, and I hope General Xu Sheng will come out of the city to meet you!"
Lin Zhaoce immediately stepped forward and stood side by side with Chu Yu.
On the city, an old general wearing military armor and a gray beard was holding a sword. It was the guard Xu Sheng. Although he was old, his face was full. He jumped lightly on the battlement of the city wall and said with a loud smile: "Come out of the city, Prime Minister."
See? When the bandits invade our border, do you dare to enter the city to see them?"
Lin Zhao cupped his fists and smiled: "Okay!"
"Open the city gate!"
Xu Sheng gave an order, and the iron gate under the city gate slowly opened. Immediately, a group of soldiers in the city drew their swords, pointing directly at Lin Zhao and Chu Yu. Lin Zhao frowned, and rode into the city with Chu Yu.
In the square in the city, veteran Xu Sheng placed a table, a pot of wine, and two cups. He sat down carelessly and said with a smile: "Do as you please!"
Lin Zhao smiled, stood in front of the veteran, clasped his fists and said: "Snowy Tianchi, dressed in white, I have seen Mr. Xu Sheng!"
"White clothes?"
Xu Sheng frowned and said: "I heard that someone recently pulled a ragtag group of people on the snowy Tianchi to fight against the demon clan, and even killed one of the eleventh realm of the demon clan. Their leader was a man named Bai Yi.
Young swordsman, it couldn't be you, right?"
"It's down there."
"snort!"
The veteran looked annoyed and said calmly: "Since you are a human swordsman who kills monsters on the snowy Tianchi, why do you follow the Linlu Army to conquer our country, Dongwu?"
Lin Zhao sat down and asked: "I also want to ask, since you are a human warrior, why do you succumb to the demon clan? The people living in the Dongwu Kingdom are all human beings, why do you hang the demon clan's war flag?"
Xu Sheng was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer. After a while, he said, "Are you here to persuade me to surrender?"
"yes."
Lin Zhao nodded and admitted, "Actually, I'm not here to persuade you to surrender. At the same time, I'm here to save Xu Sheng's reputation and the lives of the people in the city."
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, and sneered: "You want to capture our city of Sang with just 500 cavalry?"
"oh?"
Lin Zhao also raised his eyebrows. Immediately, Chu Yu, who was standing behind him, was shaken up. Strong fist energy flowed throughout his body, and fists full of oppression were crushed in all directions. Suddenly, the faces of a group of Dongwu soldiers turned pale.
, almost out of breath, facing the Qi suppression of the sea-walking martial artist, even Xu Sheng felt chilled, the gap was too big!
Lin Zhao looked at the other party, his eyes were indifferent, and he said extremely calmly: "With a sea warrior and 500 cavalry, can you defeat your mere mulberry city? The winner must be me, so
The only difference is that more people will die, but there is no doubt that more people will die from the Sangcheng defenders."
Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Bai Yi, what do you want?"
"I'm just saving your lives all over the city."
Lin Zhao said calmly: "Before attacking the city, Lord Yu Rang, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, issued an order, ordering us to capture the cities in front of us before this day. Do you know why we gave this order?"
"Why?"
"It's very simple..."
Lin Zhao looked at the other party with no expression on his face and said: "Those who open the city and surrender before daylight will avoid death. If the city is captured after dark, I am afraid that the city will be massacred."
"Are you threatening me?" Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"My master did not scare you."
Chu Yu remained calm and said calmly: "The war reports of the three northern states of the Great Shang Dynasty in the past ten years are clearly written in the handwritten notes. Our Yu Rang boss is known as the White-haired King of Hell. He has fought in the south and north in his life, and attacked cities.
There are countless villages, and half of them were massacred due to resistance. It is impossible that you, Xu Sheng, have not heard of this kind of thing, right?"
Xu Sheng clenched his fists and looked hesitant.
Lin Zhaodao: "Send the city and surrender. At least one city can be safe. After all, your Dongwu Kingdom is a dynasty of the human race. Your fifty thousand soldiers alone cannot withstand the one hundred thousand cavalry of the Lin Lu Army."
"knew."
Xu Sheng frowned and said: "I am willing to surrender the city, but... can you ensure that everything in Sangcheng is taken care of?"
"able."
Lin Zhao smiled faintly: "If Yu Rang really wants to attack Sang City, I will lead my 500 cavalry to fight them to the end. It doesn't matter. I am not from the Shang Dynasty."
"good!"
Xu Sheng nodded: "I present the city!"
…
Not long after, another bell rang, and Lin Zhao continuously won generous rewards——
"Ding!"
System prompt: Congratulations on completing the plot [Capture Sangcheng]. You will receive plot compensation rewards: 35% experience value for this level, 1 charm value, 1500 gold coins, and 1000 reputation value!
It was nearly dusk.
Night was about to fall on the earth. Lin Zhao, Chu Yu, and Xu Sheng led a group of cavalry to arrive at the last of the three northern cities, Licheng. Just below the city, the veteran Xu Sheng took a breath of energy and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Tai, I
You have surrendered to the Shang Dynasty, so you should surrender the city as soon as possible, lest the people of the city accompany you to death."
"Master!?"
On the city, a six-level warrior guard was stunned.
"What are you still hesitating about?" Xu Sheng shouted.
Zhou Tai gritted his teeth and yelled: "Master, as the generals of Dongwu, we are the generals of Dongwu, and we have received the emperor's favor. How can we surrender at the drop of a hat? Master, I will surrender if I want. I, Zhou Tai, have hard bones and will never surrender."
!”
Lin Zhao turned around and glanced at Chu Yu.
The next second, Chu Yu rose up from the wind on horseback and landed on the top of the city like lightning. His jade-like fingers spread out, and his strong fists spread out. He easily grabbed Zhou Tai's neck and directly pulled him away.
He was thrown from the city.
"What?!"
A group of guards were shocked: "Sea-Treading Warrior?"
Zhou Tai fell to the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face. He stood up and his expression changed drastically: "Treading... to the sea?"
"Do you still want to eat Junlu?" Lin Zhaoxiao asked.
Zhou Tai trembled all over, slowly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Zhou Tai... is willing to surrender!"
So Easy!
After the cavalry of the Snowy Legion entered the city one by one, Lin Zhao received another ringtone——
"Ding!"
System prompt: Congratulations on completing the plot [Capture Licheng]. You will receive plot compensation rewards: 35% experience value for this level, 1 charm value, 1500 gold coins, and 1000 reputation value!
…
"Shua~~~"
A ray of golden light fell from the sky and was upgraded to level 94, which is one step closer to the legendary level 100. Once you reach level 100, you can reach the second level of sword practice, and your title will change from "Swordsman" to "Swordsman". Listen.
It gets even more powerful when you get up.
After Lin Zhao handed over the order, he was praised by Yu Rang. He captured three fortified cities without any blood. This feat was the best in this battle. The veteran praised him endlessly. Compared with the success of the Snow Region Legion, other battalions were not as successful.
Things were not going well, some were even attacking the city overnight, and the border of Dongwu State was already full of beacon smoke.
Late at night, camp and rest.
Camps were erected on the plain. Lin Zhao didn't think much about it. He rode his horse up a hill and looked into the distance. The ground was filled with dense tent lights, making it extremely quiet.
Chu Yu pursed her red lips and stood quietly aside, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lin Zhao suddenly remembered a poem and whispered.
"One step up the mountain, one step up the water, a thousand tents of lights at night."
"..."
Chu Yu trembled slightly and looked at Lin Zhao: "Next sentence?"
Lin Zhao turned around and looked in the direction of the snowy Tianchi. The cold wind blew on his face, and his voice was extremely soft.
"When the wind changes, the snow changes, the motherland becomes silent."
Chu Yu looked into the distance, tears already filling her eyes.
