Chapter 229: Destroying the withered and decaying

On the side of the cave country, it is even more unbearable.

More than eighty percent of the corpses on the entire battlefield were left behind by the Dong army, and the number of people who surrendered this time was nearly 500,000.

Yang Mu stood on the city tower, looking at the Cangjun soldiers who were escorting the prisoners in an orderly manner below, and was very emotional.

You must know that in the battle of Qin, Zhao and Changping in history, the number of surrenderers was only more than 400,000!

Although this world is relatively backward in terms of military affairs, due to its vast territory and large population, the scale is not smaller than the scale of warfare in ancient China.

Of course, this is not to say that big battles of this magnitude are common.

The big melee of 700,000 troops, which is regarded as a world-renowned war in the entire Dali Dynasty, even the current battle of Jin and Wei has opened up several battlefields, and it will not be so hard at all.

After some treatment, the wound on Miaoxi's shoulder was also bandaged, and when she came to Yang Mu's side, she raised her eyebrows proudly.

Demons, they're all injured and they're still so scared!

Yang Mu was a little speechless, since she included Miaoxi in the harem, she was still very restrained at first, probably because she was afraid of Changchun Gong.

But gradually, when she got used to Yang Mu's temper, she found that it was not so terrible, so she slowly recovered some of her original character.

Just like now, when others are not paying attention, she looks like a demon girl.

As the sun sets, the cleaning up of the battlefield also comes to an end.

With a huge number of prisoners, even if the Cang army can be escorted and guarded, food and grass are also a big problem.

In addition to the seized grain and grass in the cave country to solve the urgent need, the only way to snatch it is to find a way.

Therefore, in the next ten days, the Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion split into two routes, attacking the city and pulling out the fortress all the way from the west and northwest, and entering the hinterland of the cave country.

All the lost land in Leyuan County was recovered, and the weakly defended Dongguo cities were also broken one after another.

Destroy the wither!

This made the soldiers of the two armies have a delusion, since the establishment of the four major armies, there has never been a time when the siege of the city can capture hundreds of cities one after another like this time, without encountering a decent resistance.

Everything went so smoothly!

The cave country, which had lost its main army, could not hold out for long under the powerful siege equipment of the two major legions, even if the local government organized a manpower to resist.

The city could not be defended, and the battle could not be beaten, so it was not easy to organize tens of thousands of soldiers, and under the team of 3,000 cavalry, a charge was rushed to pieces.

Gradually, as long as the officials and soldiers of the cave country who are a little more practical will understand a truth - the 600,000 troops guarding the frontier all the year round have been defeated, and the county soldiers and government soldiers who have always been comfortable can be used for a fart?

In the eyes of outsiders, this speed is already considered a god speed.

However, Yang Mu, who was far away in Leyuan City, felt a little slow.

Blindly attacking, just inferior.

The teacher of the king should have the demeanor of the teacher of the king.

So, he issued a decree to attack the city along the way, and those who surrendered in Kaesong forgave the local officials not guilty, and Qiu did not commit any crimes.

If there are those who refuse to defend the city, on the day the city is broken, the soldiers of the defenders and the officials in the city will be killed, and their families will be cut down and eradicated!

After the order was issued, the speed of the two armies attacking the city was indeed much faster.

It can almost be said that it is a flat river, like entering a no-man's land.

Especially after the execution of the officials and soldiers of several cities, there was no decent resistance in the back, and more than a dozen cities in succession either surrendered directly to the city, or there was civil strife in the city, as long as the army arrived, it did not take much effort at all, and the city was easily breached.

At this time, the Dongguo Imperial Court had also become a pot of porridge.

Above the court, the crown prince Ji Haokong's face was gloomy, and he was holding a sword in his hand.

It can be seen that the tip of the sword is still dripping with red blood, and the entire hall is filled with a strong fishy smell.

On both sides, there were a group of ministers standing, all of whom had black faces and did not speak.

Because just now, Ji Haokong, the crown prince who was the prince, personally killed several ministers who accused him, including his own maternal uncle.

Even an uncle can be killed with a sword, who else can't be killed?

Even if the ministers had great grievances, they did not dare to speak out.

Between monarchs and ministers, the relationship has reached the freezing point.

"Speak! Why don't you speak? Who pointed at Hongu's nose just now and yelled and scolded? Prince Ji Haokong's eyes were red, and he pointed at each other with his sword.

The ministers were silent.

"What a group of loyal ministers who know the times! Now that the front line has been defeated, they all come to blame the palace one by one? Who was advocating the threat of the Cangguo in the first place, so that the palace sent a large army to raid! The crown prince Ji Haokong was almost crazy, pointing to a minister and said: "Zhongguo Gong, your Liu family has been respected by my royal family for generations, and you have been sick for more than ten years and have not been to the court, why are you so good today that you got up from the hospital bed?" ”

"And you, General Zhenguo! You have always been in charge of the local armies, but now that your subordinates have abandoned the cities and surrendered, how do you feel? ”

"There are also those who threaten to apologize to the palace, why don't you keep silent? Well! ”

"Humph! The army of Cangguo is terrifying, and the sword in my empty hand Ji Hao is not sharp? ”

There was a crazy scolding, maybe the sword was too heavy, Ji Haokong stopped the sword on the floor, took a deep breath, and laughed at himself: "Hahaha...... The ancestor is a great royal family, enshrined in the cave country, the size of the land, hundreds of years of overcoming obstacles to have today's achievements, but was buried by the palace, hahahaha......"

Below, a group of courtiers looked at Ji Haokong coldly and did not say a word.

"Prince, do you want to continue messing around?"

An old voice came from the side of the main hall, and the Emperor of the Cave Kingdom slowly walked out with the support of a eunuch.

"Father?" Ji Haokong muttered and turned his head.

"Alas...... Look at what you have made of the Cave Kingdom, alas, ......" The Emperor of the Cave Kingdom sighed: "My father is old, I thought that I would be able to take care of the state affairs in your hands, and after a hundred years, I would toss as you want, but ...... But if you look at the current situation, I have been in the cave country for more than 400 years, and now I am going to die in my hands! ”

Ji Haokong pursed his lips, but finally didn't make a sound.

"Cangguo is getting stronger and stronger, and this battle with the cave country will be inevitable sooner or later, I don't blame you for provoking the war." The cave emperor shook his head, his eyes moistened, and said, "However, since my son has done it, he should take responsibility." ”

"Father, you are...... What do you mean? Ji Haokong heard something different.

"I ask you, is there any news of the envoys sent to Cangguo to beg for peace?" The Emperor of the Cave Kingdom asked.

Ji Haokong shook his head and said, "Erchen sent three groups of envoys before and after, but there was no news. ”

"Do you remember how the Emperor of Cangguo issued an edict to the world before the Great War?" The Emperor of the Cave Kingdom asked.

Ji Haokong's throat moved, but he didn't speak.

On the same day, the emperor of Cangguo once said that if the prince of Dongguo did not apologize for his crimes, Cangguo would not give up for a day, and the two countries would never die.

Is that really the case?
