Chapter 646: Cleansing (1)

Seeing the Imperial Standing First Legion and the Second Legion dropping a large number of corpses of soldiers and retreating dozens of miles away from Andy City, the city guards above the walls of Andy City let out a cheer of excitement to celebrate their victory.

In this siege battle, the 50,000 city guards of Andy City almost did any damage, killed tens of thousands of soldiers of the empire, and let the first and second legions of the imperial standing army retreat dozens of miles away from Andy City, which made the city guards of Andy City overjoyed at the same time, but also erected the strong self-confidence of the city guards of Andy City, and they were no longer as afraid and cringe as they were at the beginning.

The morale of the soldiers of the city guards, whose confidence has been greatly increased, is not only not afraid of the imperial army, but hopes that the imperial army is coming to attack the city, so that they can kill more imperial soldiers and obtain more merits.

After the First and Second Legions of the Imperial Standing Army retreated to a wilderness dozens of miles away from Andy City, the old man in the golden armor summoned the senior officers of the First and Second Legions of the Imperial Standing Army to his tent.

"What do you think of today's siege?" The old man in the golden armor sat firmly on the main seat of the big tent and said loudly to the senior officers below.

"Marshal, Andy City's walls are strong, weapons are sharp, and supplies are abundant, with our current strength, it is simply impossible to capture Andy City, even if we fight out the 200,000 troops, we may not be able to break through the defense of Andy City, so I suggest that we wait until the imperial reinforcements arrive before launching an attack on Andy City!" As soon as the old man in the golden armor finished speaking, a big man wearing the armor of a senior officer stood up and said loudly.

"Marshal, Andy City has strong walls, sharp weapons, and abundant materials, we want to capture it, and it is indeed very difficult to capture it with our current strength! However, we can't wait here for Imperial reinforcements to arrive, we can attack the Foundation Steelworks in Andy City! As far as I know, the iron and steel plant of the Zhao family in Andy City is in a valley in Qingfeng Mountain, the area is extremely narrow, and it is estimated that there are not many troops stationed in it, as long as we are not afraid of sacrifice, we can completely capture this valley and destroy the foundation of the Zhao family in Andy City.

Even if we can't capture the foundation steel plant of Andy City, just surround the steel plant can make the Zhao family of Andy City feel uneasy, release the army from the strong wall defense of Andy City, and engage in a field battle with our imperial army!

Once the army of Andy City comes out of the strong city defense system of Andy City and fights with our imperial army, we can easily destroy the army of Andy City, and then easily attack Andy City! As soon as the senior officer's voice fell, another senior officer quickly stood up and said loudly.

"Marshal, there are many people in Andy City who are loyal to the empire and have their hearts towards the empire, we can send spies to infiltrate Andy City, spread the news that the Zhao family in Andy City rebelled against the empire, and call on the people loyal to the empire in Andy City to resist, assist the imperial army to capture Andy City, and give these people rich rewards, so that we can easily shake the military heart of Andy City, even if we can't easily capture Andy City, we can also greatly reduce the power of Andy City!"

“、、、、、”

With the speeches of the two officers in front of them, other officers also spoke one after another, offering their words and suggestions, hoping to be adopted by the old man and enter the eyes of the old man.

Hearing the suggestions of the officers under his command, the old man sitting on the main seat showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and began to think carefully about his suggestions.

The old man's name is Long Qian, a child of the royal family, and one of the best generals in the imperial family, who was appointed by Long Kun as the marshal of the empire, and was fully responsible for the capture of Andy City.

In addition to being responsible for the capture of Andy City, Long Qian is also responsible for fighting for the greatest interests of the imperial family, getting the advanced alchemy and metallurgical techniques in Andy City, and nationalizing the wealth of the Zhao family in Andy City.

Now that Andy's walls are strong, his weapons are sharp, and his supplies are abundant, he can't lead his army to capture Andy City from the front, so he has to focus on other aspects and capture Andy City from the flank.

After listening to the speeches of many high-ranking officers, Long Qian thought about it carefully, and then gently tapped the table beside him with his hand, making a crisp sound, signaling everyone in the big tent to be quiet.

In the crisp sound of Long Qian's knocking on the table, many senior officers in the big tent stopped speaking, quieted down, and turned their eyes to Long Qian's body, waiting for Long Qian to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with the current strength of our legion, it is indeed difficult to capture Andy City from the front! However, since we can't take Andy City from the front, then let's take Andy City from the flank! I listened to everyone's suggestions just now, which is very good and gives me great inspiration! We will start from two aspects now, on the one hand, we will send a large number of spies to spread the news of the rebellion of the Zhao family in Andy City, shake the hearts of the army and the people in Andy City, and win over people who can be loyal to the empire, so that these people who can finally be loyal to the empire can provide convenience for our imperial army, on the other hand, we will concentrate our forces to attack the steel mill in Qingfeng Valley in Qingfeng Mountain, let the steel plant ask Andy City for help, and attract the army of Andy City out、、、、、、" Seeing that everyone was quiet, Long Qian immediately said his thoughts out loud and gave various orders to the senior officers in the big tent.

With the issuance of Long Qian's order, the senior officials in the big tent stood up and responded loudly, quickly left the big tent, returned to their own troops, and gathered people to carry out Long Qian's order.

The next day, hundreds of spies disguised themselves as the mountain people of the villages and towns near Andy City, mixed in with the mountain people of the villages and towns, infiltrated Andy City, and began to quietly spread the news that the Zhao family in Andy City betrayed the empire and died badly, and called on the people loyal to the empire in Andy City to rebel and overthrow the Zhao family's rule over Andy City.

With the joint efforts of hundreds of spies of the Imperial Army, many powerful families in Andy City were moved and began to think about the possibility of assisting the Imperial Army to capture Andy City.

Many powerful families in Andy City are loyal to the empire, their ancestors are all heroes of the empire, and they are also the descendants of the heroes of the empire, and they have a natural good impression of the empire.

Although the Zhao family allowed them to gain a lot of wealth, they did not have much recognition of the Zhao family, they just regarded the Zhao family as a merchant family, and never thought of anything like being loyal to the Zhao family.

Before, the Zhao family betrayed the empire and the imperial army started a fierce battle, and the descendants of these heroes who were loyal to the empire had already had a change of mind, but now with the call of the imperial army, they instantly moved their hearts and began to make secret contacts, preparing to find a way to open the gate of Andy City and let the imperial army enter Andy City.

The descendants of these imperial heroes may not have taken the Zhao family in their eyes, or said that they thought that the Zhao family would not dare to touch them, so their plot was not like a conspiracy at all, but like a public meeting, which soon reached the ears of the Zhao family.

"Young Master, many powerful families in the city are secretly organizing gatherings, and they want to open the gates of Andy City and let the imperial army enter Andy City, what should we do?" Zhao Fei, the leader of the Zhao Clan's merchant group guard, looked at Zhao Hu with a worried look on his face and asked.

There are dozens of powerful families in Andy City, and all of these dozens of powerful families rely on the strong strength of their families to acquire a large number of high-quality weapons from the Zhao family's weapons shop and sell them to other countries, earning a lot of profits from them, and their own strength has expanded extremely rapidly.

Dozens of powerful people in Andy City, each of them has hundreds to thousands of elite guards, these elite guards are all equipped with high-quality armor weapons produced by the Zhao Clan's weapons shop, all of them are experienced warriors, once these dozens of magnates are united, the elite guards under their command will be as high as tens of thousands of people, which is an extremely powerful force, and it is a great hidden danger for Andy City.

Zhao Hu is no stranger to the dozens of magnates in Andy City, and he also has a clear understanding of the strength of these dozens of magnates in the family, knowing that these dozens of magnates are an extremely powerful force that cannot be moved easily, and once they move, it may cause turmoil in Andy City, so he is too good at tolerating the existence of these dozens of magnates.

Now, these dozens of magnates actually organized a conspiracy to open the gate of Andy City to join the empire, which made Zhao Hu very unhappy, and he had a strong killing intent for these dozens of magnates.

However, since these dozens of magnates have organized a conspiracy and don't care about the Zhao family's attention, it shows that these dozens of magnates have united, are not afraid of the power of the Zhao family, and want to have a good competition with the Zhao family.

In this case, Zhao Hu must not have a hard-to-head battle with these dozens of powerful families, because in a hard-fought battle, even if the Zhao family wins, it will pay a lot of price, which will plunge Andy City into chaos.

After all, tens of thousands of well-equipped and powerful elite guards were cholera in Andy City, which would cause great harm to the stability of Andy City and plunge Andy City into chaos, which was absolutely unacceptable to Zhao Hu.

Since he couldn't engage in a hard-to-head battle with these dozens of magnates, Zhao Hu had no choice but to implement decapitation tactics and kill these dozens of magnates quietly, so as not to cause huge turmoil in Andy City.
