At the end of June, the Xuanjia army from Handong County left Heyang and headed for Xingping County.
The world was shaken.
The remaining four wealthy families, which had maintained a strange peace because they were watching Handong County's actions, began to take action one after another.
The Wang family of Xingping County never considered whether she could agree.
Even though Handong County's Xuanjia Army only had 25,000 soldiers and horses, the Wang family immediately dispatched detective horses to the other three families to ask for help.
Even if the Wang family took advantage of these rare ten months of peace to recuperate and recruit troops on a large scale, there were nearly a million armored men within their sphere of influence. Facing the Xuanjia Army in Handong County, there was no one who could resist and fight.
The confidence to win.
It is a pity that the three southern families headed by the Yuwen family have never considered sending troops to help the Wang family.
Instead, after Wang's request for help arrived, the three families immediately communicated privately, and then, with great sincerity and unprecedented speed, reached the result of mutual cooperation and coordinated defense.
That's right, even though Handong County only has one county and a military strength of only a few hundred thousand, the three southern families still took the defensive without hesitation.
There is no way, in the past nearly a year, the three battles between Handong County and the Wang family were really terrifying.
The seemingly invincible fighting power of the Xuanjia Army scared everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, when the Xuanjia soldiers came out of Heyang, the eyes of the three southern families immediately focused on them.
They wanted to use the Wang family to see what the true combat effectiveness of the Xuanjia Army was.
If the Wang family can resist the Xuanjia army, then the alliance of the three families will of course be broken in an instant, and the Yuwen family will immediately raise the butcher's knife high and attack the other two families.
It was hoped that the other two families would be captured as soon as possible by using the time the Wang family had to resist Handong County.
But once the Wang family is completely unable to withstand the Xuanjia Army, and the Wang family's private army is under the attack of the Xuanjia Army and has no power to resist, then the alliance between the three families will be truly unbreakable.
Because they all know that now that they have raised the banner of rebellion, there are only two roads left in front of them.
Either win it all or die cleanly!
Ordinary officials and people naturally don't care who becomes the ruler.
No matter who sits in that position, after all, they still need support from the people and a large number of officials to help govern the country.
But for wealthy families like them who have raised their flags, if they lose, they will definitely die.
No one will allow them to continue living.
Under the influence of this uneasy mood, the Yuwen family, Cui family and Zheng family witnessed a war that they had never heard of.
At the end of June, Xuanjia's army left Heyang. At the beginning of July, Xuanjia's army had already invaded the county seat of Xingping County with overwhelming force!
The entire process encountered almost no decent resistance. All Wang's private armies collapsed at the first touch. There were very few armies that could actually fight the Xuanjia Army head-on.
The morale of the army was completely lost, and when facing the Xuanjia Army, they could hardly form any decent resistance.
No one is willing to die in vain. Except for a few absolute loyalists, most of the Wang family's private troops are often thinking of how to escape before the battle begins.
No one can believe that their companions will fight to the end.
Whenever there is a slight decline, everyone's first thought is to protect themselves as much as possible.
Under such circumstances, how can the army have combat effectiveness?
The infantry attacked the city, the cavalry quickly advanced and dispersed the array in the field. In addition, there were 300,000 troops coming out from behind Heyang City, specifically used to occupy the city and maintain order.
In just one month, Xingping County fell completely!
In August, the Xuanjia Army entered the territory of the other two counties of the Wang family.
In mid-September, the other two counties of the Wang family were completely captured.
In October, the Xuanjia Army, which had taken a short rest, joined forces with Yuwen, Zheng, and Cui to fight outside Qinghe County on the Donghe Plain.
Among them, Yuwen, Zheng, and Cui allied forces sent a total of 450,000 troops, claiming to be 700,000, and Xuanjia's 25,000 troops fought in the Donghe Plain for half a month.
The sound of fighting was endless, and the water of the East River was completely dyed red.
In this battle, the allied forces of Yuwen, Zheng, and Cui lost nearly 100,000 people, and countless others were scattered and fled.
As for the 25,000 Xuanjia troops, not even more than a hundred were killed.
And most of them died from exhaustion.
Facing an enemy that they could not kill no matter what, the soldiers of the three coalition armies began to gradually fall into despair like the soldiers of the Wang family.
In November, Qinghe County fell, and the Cui family fled to Jinling.
In December, Guangshou County fell, and the Zheng family fled to Jinling.
In February of the following year, the Xuanjia Army occupied the entire Gushan County and surrounded Jinling.
The powerful Yuwen clan's grandmaster, Yuwen Shenju, led a total of more than 200 masters of grade seven or above from the three families in Jinling City, and wanted to attack the camp at night to fight for a chance of survival for the three major clans.
However, just after passing the outer perimeter of the camp, they were discovered by the Lin family's gunmen and fired back with ferocious firepower!
Except for the ninth-level experts who could barely find some room to dodge under the fire, the other seventh- and eighth-level experts suffered heavy losses as soon as the gunfire rang out.
Hong Qigong also appeared in front of Yuwen Shenju at the right time, and the two great masters fought on the spot.
Originally, Yuwen Shenju didn't pay much attention to Hong Qigong.
With the reputation of being the number one master in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Shenju’s grandmaster strength is not just a boast.
However, after only two fights, Yuwen Shenju was shocked to find that the old man who jumped out of nowhere in front of him was actually much stronger than him!
There is even a faint gap in realm between the two!
Yuwen Shenju's shock did not last long, because he found that it was extremely difficult for him to face Hong Qigong.
The other masters they brought were quickly annihilated under the siege of hundreds of gunmen from the Lin family and a large number of masters from the Lin family. Even Yuwen Shenju himself was chased to the wall of Jinling by Hong Qigong and beheaded on the spot!
No one thought that the biggest card of the Yuwen family would die just because of an opportunity to attack the camp...
At this point, the Yuwen family no longer has the courage to resist.
The siege lasted less than a week, and the desperate Yuwen family chose to surrender in Kaicheng.
In March, the Xuanjia Army entered Jinling City and quickly took over all defense work in the city.
Jiang Fan then announced that the entire territory of the former Great Zhou Dynasty had entered a state of temporary military control, and immediately began the post-war cleanup work!
So far, after nearly nine months of war from the end of June to the beginning of March, the Lin family, under the leadership of Jiang Fan, successfully resolved the civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
