Pingguang City, outside the Imperial City.

The army besieged the city, and the streets and alleys outside the imperial city were full of the corpses of the soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom, from the night to the dawn, the only place in the entire Pingguang City that had not been breached was here, representing the last dignity of the Bohai Kingdom.

The imperial city is very strong, the walls are very high, the last defenders have all retreated into the imperial city, maybe they are not firm, Pingguang City has been breached, what if there is only one imperial city left?

But they didn't seem to know what else to do other than resist, and the remnants of the King of Bohai were still there, and after so many years of ruling by killing and intimidation, the soldiers still pinned their hopes on their great King of Bohai.

Many of them still believed that the King of Bohai was the embodiment of a god, and that at the most dangerous time, the King of Bohai would gather the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Commanders to kill all the Ning people who invaded their homeland.

Or, the King of Bohai ascended the city wall to summon a storm, and the thunder and lightning burned all those Ning people to the ground.

Or, the King of the Bohai Sea turned into a giant thousands of feet tall, and with one foot, he could trample the people surrounded by Ning Jun into pulp.

But they waited for nothing.

The King of Bohai who has been scared up and down the Bohai Kingdom for many years, where is there any majesty to say at this moment, sitting on his throne with a cloak, looking at the sparse courtiers in the main hall, the whole person seems to have no soul, only the shell is left, the King of Bohai has always been very confident, even if the Ning army invades the country, he still does not have too much fear, he firmly believes that he can be like the King of Bohai hundreds of years ago, and drag to death the 300,000 elites of the Chu State.

He sent people to Heiwu seven times before and after, three of which were intercepted and killed by the Ning army halfway, and four groups of people rushed out.

But what he didn't know was that of the seven groups of people he sent out, three groups were intercepted and killed, and the four groups of people who rushed over made the same choice after walking to the border and seeing the blockade of the Ning people.

Escape and hide.

Even if they could sneak out of the defense line of the Ning army in China, how could they possibly pass through Baishan Pass?

The general of Daning Dongjiang who has a gray beard but can still shock Dongjiang is in Baishan Pass, don't say that they are Bohai people, even if they are black warriors, how dare they easily take the border? The old general sat outside Chang'an City with a knife in exchange for an unprecedented prosperity in Daning, and the old general sat at Baishan Pass with a knife, which could make the ghosts retreat from the strong enemy.

At this moment, Shen Leng and Meng Changan were sitting on the low wall outside the imperial city, which was a burned down house, and there was still a faint smoke coming out behind them.

Shen Leng, who was swaying his legs, didn't look like some kind of general who killed all directions at this moment, but more like a child sitting on a tree branch by a small river in the countryside looking forward to the future.

"I want to be a tea master."

Shen Leng looked at his two feet, the socks inside the combat boots were made by the tea master himself, and the mandarin ducks embroidered on them already looked good.

I can't see it, but I can feel it, it seems that the pair of mandarin ducks are blessing him.

"Hurry up."

Meng Changan was wiping a knife.

"After the Bohai Sea this time, His Majesty will inevitably summon you and me back to Chang'an, and then scold us in front of the civil and military officials, this is the crime of starting a war without authorization, Your Majesty not only wants to scold, but the civil and military officials have to accompany Your Majesty to scold, but fortunately, we won, if we lose, it will not just scold."

Shen sneered: "You know that once you lose the battle or are implicated in the war and suffer heavy casualties, you and I will be dismissed and thrown into prison at the worst when we go back, normally it should be beheaded after the autumn, but you didn't persuade me to say don't fight." ”

Meng Changan shook his head and was speechless.

The two of them seem to be outliers, Shen Leng is a model of lawlessness in the eyes of the Daning courtiers, and Meng Changan is more simple, just accompanying Shen Leng, no matter what he does.

"The law of the country is the law of the country, and starting a war without authorization is enough to punish the three tribes."

Shen Leng knew that even if he lost, His Majesty would never implicate the tea master and his two children, and of course he would not implicate Meng Changan's family.

"Almost?"

Meng Changan glanced at Shen Leng, his knife was already polished very brightly.

"Almost."

Shen Leng jumped down from the low wall and strode towards the imperial city, Meng Changan was slightly slower than him, following after half a step.

The soldiers of the Ning Army who were surrounding the imperial city saw the two generals crossing the way spontaneously, and the two of them walked to the front and raised their heads to see the soldiers of the forbidden army of the Bohai State who were obviously frightened but had to stand there on the palace wall.

"How?"

Meng Changan asked.

Shen Leng replied: "The way to bully people." ”

Then he gave an order, 20,000 Daning soldiers who surrounded the imperial city began to release arrows into the imperial city, covering archery, and the soldiers of the Bohai State Forbidden Army on the city wall were shot down one by one, many of them may have been ready to fight to the death, and the Kening army would not choose to fight them hand-to-hand.

Now that there is a huge disparity in strength, why do you need to go for hand-to-hand combat?

In a short time, more than a dozen ballistas were brought up from the rear and aimed at the gate of the imperial city, the gate was sturdy, and the door panel was so thick that if it collapsed, it could smash people into pulp, and the inside was covered with a very thick wood, and it was impossible to knock it away from the outside.

But Shen Leng didn't plan to let people brave the rain of arrows from the Bohai people to hit the door, and at this moment, there was no need to let the soldiers take risks.

More than a dozen ballistas began to roar, and one by one, heavy crossbow arrows with thick calves slammed into the gates of the imperial city, each impact making the gates tremble.

"Keep shooting."

Shen Leng stood aside, not looking anxious.

The ballista is from the Bohai people, and the crossbow arrows are also from the Bohai people, and the Bohai people's weapon reserves are definitely more reassuring than the food reserves, so Shen Leng borrowed them, and he didn't have to worry about consumption.

Half an hour of indiscriminate bombardment, no matter how heavy the door panel was, could not resist such a continuous impact, finally, the door panel was shot through one hole after another, and the soldiers of the Bohai State Forbidden Army who were holding wooden sticks behind the door were also shot to the ground, and the heavy crossbow arrows with such great lethality pierced through, and several people behind them could be worn into sugar gourds.

From the beginning to the end, it took about half an hour, and the two heavy palace doors were shot into sawdust.

"Kill it."

Meng Changan raised his sword forward, and the six spear generals followed closely with sword soldiers.

There was no suspense about the end of the war, and the joy of breaking through the imperial city was even far less than the capture of Pingguang City, the soldiers swept through the imperial city, and all the soldiers of the forbidden army of the Bohai State who were still resisting were slaughtered.

Basilica.

Shen Leng, Meng Chang'an, and Yan Kaisong stepped in, and the hall was already empty, leaving only the King of Bohai sitting on the high throne.

The Bohai King, who was covered with loose hair, raised his head and looked at Ning Ren who entered the door, and suddenly laughed, and the smile was ugly like a ghost.

"You guys!"

He raised his hand and pointed at Shen Leng and them, and roared hoarsely: "Why are you Ning Ren? What is Emperor Ning? ! ”

Then he drew his sword from the throne and put it around his neck, and his whole body trembled, so violently that he himself tried to stabilize it, but he couldn't do it at all.

"Do you want to stop it?"

Meng Changan asked.

Shen Leng thought for a moment: "We started the war without permission. ”

Yan Kaisong: "So what? ”

"Therefore, without His Majesty's will, bring him back alive and lock him up in Babu Alley."

Meng Changan: "It's better to fight for it." ”

Shen Leng: "Hmm......"

He looked at the trembling King of Bohai: "There are many dead emperors living in an eight-part alley in Chang'an City, do you want to make up for it?" ”

The King of Bohai roared, and wiped his neck with a sword.

Shen Leng looked at Meng Changan: "He doesn't want to." ”

The three of them turned around and walked out of the main hall, and Shen Leng said as he walked: "Meng Changan and I will be involved in you, although there may not be any reward for defeating Bohai, but Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear, and there will be no punishment for you, there will be a small promotion." ”

Yan Kaisong shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I'm nothing, I just want to make the brothers feel that this trip is not cool enough, and it will be even worse if I am a little aggrieved in the end." ”

Meng Changan: "Anyway, I have to be punished." ”

"Hmm."

Shen Leng nodded: "Yes, I will be punished anyway...... The order went down, and the homes of all the courtiers in Pingguang City were sealed, and the things found were distributed to the soldiers, and the same was true in the imperial city, but strict orders were issued, not to break into the people's homes at will, not to violate women, not to kill innocents indiscriminately, not to set fire to houses, those who violated the order were to be beheaded and not pardoned, the granary was heavily guarded by heavy soldiers, the arsenal of the Bohai State Treasury was opened, and the brothers went in and picked one or two pieces if they wanted. ”

He was silent for a moment: "I gave this military order. ”

Meng Changan pouted.

Yan Kaisong smiled and said nothing.

The soldiers began to enter carnival mode, they rushed into the arsenal, wanting to choose something to use, only to find that the equipment in the arsenal of the Bohai people was not attractive to them at all, the leather armor was not as thick as Daning's leather armor, the knife was not as good as Daning's knife, not to mention anything like crossbow arrows and longbows, so they immediately became interested.

Then the carnival mode is over.

No one went to rob the property of the hundred officials' families, and after the seizure, they arranged for people to guard it, and those who trespassed it were dealt with by military law.

No one went to rob the treasures in the palace, the same as the sealed boxes.

In the words of a Daning soldier: "The generals gave us an order to take whatever we wanted, that is, the generals feel sorry for us, don't we feel sorry for the generals?" We will be fine if we take the things, but after we go back, Your Majesty will deal with the generals, we can't do this, besides, after we go back, it is the generals who will be scolded, when will Your Majesty give us less reward? ”

In the words of another soldier, "It's just, besides, this thing really doesn't deserve our mistakes...... Look at those poor civil and military officials of the Bohai Kingdom, they can't even turn out a piece of meat, and the jars are all things that his mother calls kimchi, and that thing is also eaten by people? ”

In the words of the soldier next to the other soldier: "Who still has the strength to grab something worthless, save your strength and go to the black army to rob it later." ”

Chen Ran took the pro-military battalion around the city and was a little confused, the soldiers were stationed according to each battalion, there was no sign of chaos, they would rather go to sleep than grab things.

Returned to the palace to look for Shen Leng to report, but he didn't find anyone after turning around, and suddenly he came to his senses, and Chen Ran trotted all the way to find the location of the palace's imperial dining room.

Sure enough, the three generals were sitting there eating.

Shen Leng: "What does this smell like?" ”

Meng Changan: "I can't stand it anymore, can you go and cook something?" ”

Shen Leng: "Let's make do with it, you see that you are not satisfied with the dozens of dishes on this table?" ”

Meng Changan looked at the table of dozens of kimchi, and fell into a deep silence.

Yan Kaisong looked at Shen Leng pitifully, Meng Changan looked at Shen Leng pitifully, and added another Chen Ran, following the example of Meng Changan and Yan Kaisong, looking at Shen Leng pitifully.

Shen Leng threw the chopsticks: "I'm here to cook for you?" ”

"Yes."

The three of them spoke in unison.

Meng Changan raised his hand and shook the apron he had just found: "Work hard!" ”
