Fifty prisoners of the Northern King's Army who had been hungry all night were surrounded by a group of elite divine warriors and flew south.
Not to mention, the person in charge of interrogating them in front of them was a golden elixir monk who had no moral ethics and went to the battlefield himself.
No one thought of escaping.
Even if someone has mastered the light-body technique of "Iron Legs Floating on Water" to the extreme, flying swords shot out like cannonballs will pierce them all at once, and their blood will spread across the sky.
Although Xia Xiaoman was using a standard sword, the Frost Snow Sword was fluttering silently behind her, which seemed to indicate her status as a golden elixir cultivator.
The prisoners were as silent as a cicada and dared not speak out.
Xia Xiaoman frowned: "Don't you want to say anything?"
"Hey!" The prisoner on the far left sneered: "Shis can be killed, but not humiliated! We will never betray Prince Bei!"
"That's right!" Someone took the initiative to speak, the second prisoner from the left. I don't know who gave him the courage. He braved it and said coldly: "A mere girl wants to imitate the princes and fight for the world? It's ridiculous! The eldest prince Joining forces with the Northern King is the orthodoxy of the Xia family and the destiny of the Xia family!"
"Shua——"
The sword flashed.
Two heads flew high into the air.
When Xia Xiaoman disagreed, he swung his knife.
The remaining forty-eight prisoners looked at the two headless corpses that fell limply in horror. At the same time, they sucked in a breath of cold snowy air, which caused the air around the prisoner camp to suddenly warm up.
Xia Xiaoman took out the silk cloth from his waist and gently wiped the hot and steaming blood on the knife. While wiping, he lowered his head and whispered:
"Who else?"
"..."
After a short silence.
There were forty-eight prisoners left, and they were rushed to recruit them.
"You are responsible for recording and ordering scouts to sneak into the city to investigate and find out the truth."
Xia Xiaoman stuck the blood-stained knife in the snow, looked tired, and turned around to leave.
After General Zhenping left,
A group of powerful men who had already suppressed evil fire gathered around him and forced him to confess the truth.
…
Xia Xiaoman returned to the tent.
She relit the oil lamp, looked at the strategy map spread out on the table, and fell into deep thought.
"Green River City is the hub that connects the north and the south for the Northern King. Once it is captured, it will be like a knife on the North King's throat, putting the Northern King in a dilemma. At the same time, once Green River City is lost, the Northern King will have to take the rest of the city back in order to regain it. The withdrawal of troops from the front can also spread the pressure on the east and west sides."
Xia Xiaoman dipped his pen in ink and drew a big circle on the "Green River".
"Fighting for the world...?"
Xia Xiaoman inadvertently saw the hateful expressions in the eyes of the fifty prisoners flashing before his eyes, and felt his chest tighten.
"What have I done to stabilize the Xia family?"
Xia Xiaoman rubbed the stinging forehead.
She knew that she was massacring her own Xia family's people.
Even if this Four Kings Rebellion is finally settled, she will never leave a good reputation among the people.
"But as long as I can stabilize the Xia family for Ji'er, even if I, Xia Xiaoman, are reviled by thousands of people and will be infamy for eternity, what's the matter?"
…
Unknowingly.
In the military tent, Xia Xiaoman fell asleep lying on the table.
She had forgotten how long it had been since she had a good night's sleep.
From time to time, she would miss her old days in Tianjian Sect, sleeping until she woke up naturally, and eating meat until she was full.
"Senior brother, where are you..."
In the empty tent, Xia Xiaoman murmured softly with his mouth watering.
The candlelight swayed, and Xia Xiaoman's shadow swayed silently.
…
The next day.
Xia Xiaoman woke up with sleepy eyes and felt very fragrant.
As soon as she stood up and stretched contentedly, a warm blanket slipped from her shoulders.
Xia Xiaoman lowered his head and looked at the brand new blanket. He was startled for a moment, then walked outside the tent with a straight face.
"Who dared to break into my general's tent last night?"
Xia Xiaoman summoned several generals responsible for the security of the military camp.
"If you tell me back to the general, no one will dare to break into the general's barracks without permission."
Several generals looked at each other in confusion...who dares to break in!
Putting aside the name of General Zhenhei, let’s talk about General Zhenhei’s real identity as the eldest princess of Daqian. This man and woman are not close to each other and are bound by moral constraints. No one dares to commit such crimes.
Xia Xiaoman asked again, but he didn't get any answers.
She returned to the tent in confusion, wondering if she had been busy running to the battlefield recently and her memory had deteriorated?
Xia Xiaoman clutched the blanket and was puzzled.
Finally, her eyes accidentally fell on the strategic map that she had observed last night.
At first glance, she felt something was wrong.
After taking another look, I found the reason why something was wrong.
I saw in the circle of "Green River City",
I don’t know when, there was an extra conspicuous “×”.
…
…
The information has almost been gathered.
General Zhenping decided to attack the city by force.
The spies at the front reported that the information given by the prisoners was true and false, but combined with the spies' information, the Shenwu Army had a preliminary outline of the deployment of troops in Lujiang City.
The person responsible for defending the city is the general "Ayebu" under the command of King Zhengbei. He is powerful and good at using double hammers.
When he was young, Ayebu studied under Xuanmen and knew three or two Xuanmen techniques.
The most frightening thing about him on the battlefield is his "flying hammer". Ayebu can fly, and the hammer can also fly, whirring and flying around, hitting people and hitting horses, which is particularly violent.
In addition to the Aye tribe, there are fully 10,000 elite soldiers of the King of Zhengbei in Lujiang City.
Coupled with the complete city defense equipment and Xia Xiaoman's thousands of elite soldiers, it is almost impossible to forcefully capture Lujiang City.
Even if they are really captured, only a few of these thousand elite soldiers can survive the battlefield.
In the past six months, Xia Xiaoman has been busy quelling the chaos and neglected his cultivation. His cultivation has stagnated and he is still at the first level of the Golden Core Realm.
She can fight a hundred or a thousand, but facing ten thousand well-equipped troops with arrows flying all over the sky, she cannot remain unscathed.
When they learned the intelligence inside Lujiang City, several trusted generals expressed some resistance and doubts about Xia Xiaoman's decision to attack the city.
You, General Zhenping, are a dignified golden elixir monk who can come and go in the wind and rain, but these brothers are just mortals and cannot fly.
But military orders are like mountains and cannot be disobeyed.
A thousand divine warriors, neatly dressed, marched quickly through the woods before dawn.
Some people have tragic faces,
Some people have even written suicide notes and sent people back to their hometowns.
"General Zhenping, I have followed the general on the battlefield and made great achievements. Even if I donate these eighty kilograms of meat today, I will have no regrets!"
On the war horse, a general sighed with emotion and set a flag that he would die.
Xia Xiaoman put on his battle helmet tightly, his face was as heavy as water, and he didn't explain anything.
Before it fully dawned, a thousand Shenwu troops finally arrived outside Lujiang City.
…
On the Green River City Wall.
There was a rare lack of any firelight, and the whole city was pitch black, like a dead city.
"Scouts climb over the wall, go up and kill the sentry on the wall!"
Xia Xiaoman issued instructions one after another.
Defeat more with less, never attack head-on, be as cunning as possible, this is the royal way of war.
These were all taught by Senior Brother Lin Yi.
…
The secret siege begins.
soon,
Like a monkey, the scout climbed up the city wall with the help of a hook and rope, and quickly sent back a reply.
"Lujiang, Lujiang City... broke down on their own!"
"Report! The city is in chaos!"
"Retaliation! All generals are dead!"
"Report again! All the generals of King Zhengbei died in one night!"
"Ayeb is dead too!"
"His two hammers were strung together and hung between the legs of the corpse!"
"Report! There is a line of blood writing on the wall in Ayebe's house!"
Xia Xiaoman jumped up and entered the city with his sword.
really.
The city was in chaos. The tens of thousands of elite soldiers who conquered the North were in chaos without any command. After the Shenwu Army opened the city gate directly from the inside, they had no intention of resisting and soon announced their surrender.
Xia Xiaoman's breathing was rapid and his face was reddish. He wielded his sword all the way to the place where Ayebu's clinical death occurred.
only saw,
A strong man died tragically in his room. His body was hung upside down from the beam, with two hammers hung between his legs like two eggs.
The way of death was extremely miserable, and the way the body was disposed of was extremely cruel, which is unbearable to watch.
Just as the leading scout said, in Ayebu's room, there was a line of dazzling blood written on the wall:
"The sky and the earth are vast, overwhelming the world, and I sit alone in the dark sky and enlighten the world!"
