Chapter Twenty-Four: Under the City

With the continuous arrival of reinforcements, soon the west city wall was completely occupied by Zhao Fu, and all the defenders in the west city wall were either annihilated and forced out of the west city wall defense area, or surrendered on the spot. Then the west gate of Jiulian City slowly fell, and the remaining army entered the city smoothly.

The Iron Arm Army still acted separately according to the more than 1,000 people who took the lead in the city led by Zhao Fu and the remaining 8,000 people, and the more than 8,000 Iron Arm Army led the 10,000 new troops to take care of the wounded and transport the seriously wounded to the rear. Secondly, their main purpose is to take the lead in controlling the situation in the city.

And Zhao Fu led more than 1,000 vanguard troops directly to the frontal battlefield, although the main force of the Iron Arm Army had entered the city, but it was the situation on the frontal battlefield that determined the outcome of this war.

If Zheng Yuan was repulsed on the front, the defenders on the frontal battlefield could also force the Iron Arm Army that had already entered the city out of Jiulian City in turn. However, this situation does not exist, Zhao Fu just wants to solve this battle as soon as possible and avoid more meaningless casualties.

Unlike the Hu people, this is the civil war of the Lanhe Empire, and the soldiers who fought here were all soldiers of the Lanhe Empire, and not killing a single soldier means that the national strength of the Lanhe Empire is weaker.

It is precisely because of this that there was the funny flag exchange in Geyang City before, and the fifty-two cities after that. Zhao Fu has always adhered to the principle of not killing more if he can, and trying to keep the battle damage to a minimum.

When Zhao Fu rushed to the frontal battlefield with his people, the battle situation was very stalemate. You can see corpses everywhere under the castle, as well as rolling logs rolling down from the top of the castle and ladders falling to the side. Zheng Yuan had climbed the city three times, but each time he was driven down.

Obviously, the frontal battlefield was very well prepared, and the enemy army had obviously arranged an elite defense here, even if Zheng Yuan led the team, no breakthrough results were achieved.

"Who are you? Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Soon, someone on the city wall saw Zhao Fu coming from the west city wall with people.

"Take this wall, and the battle will be won." After Zhao Fu finished speaking, he took the lead and cut down the soldier who shouted that the enemy was attacking. At this time, he had no extra mercy, and he still killed him with a knife.

Subsequently, more and more people discovered Zhao Fu and the Iron Arm Army soldiers behind him and joined the team to defend against them.

But the reality is cruel, Zhao Fu is invincible like a god of war, with one enemy and one hundred. The Iron Arm soldiers behind him were not fuel-efficient lamps either.

Soon, the defenders of the frontal battlefield were defeated from both sides, and it was not long before a green flare ignited in the sky

And then two, three......

After that, the main gate of Jiulian City was lowered, and this key city was taken by Zhao Fu.

In the city lord's mansion of Jiulian City, Zhao Fuzheng took Zhao Qian to review the spoils of this battle, this was a big battle, and Zhao Fu threw all the troops in his hands into it to win so quickly. And it is precisely because of this that the wealth of Jiulian City has also accumulated a lot, although more than half of the spoils will be distributed to all the soldiers, but the excess is still more than enough to fill the military expenses.

However, this is the city of Zhao Guo before, and Zhao Qian is by his side, so he still has to "ask" Zhao Qian's opinion.

"Master ......" Zheng Yuan arrived, his subordinates have been attracting a lot of enemy firepower on the frontal battlefield, and this time it can be regarded as a heavy casualty, so it took a lot of time to settle the casualties, and now they rushed to the City Lord's Mansion to meet with Zhao Fu and others.

"Needless to say, we didn't do well, we took Jiulian City so quickly, you are a great achievement." Zhao Fu habitually touched Zheng Yuan's head, he knew that if he didn't say so, Zheng Yuan's character would definitely blame himself for a long time.

Because Zhao Fu guessed that according to Zheng Yuan's logic, it must be because Zheng Yuan himself was incompetent and unable to end this war quickly that Zhao Fu had to go into battle in person, which brought danger to Zhao Fu and was his dereliction of duty as a slave.

Although Zhao Fu has repeatedly emphasized that Zheng Yuan should no longer always carry this strange thinking on the grassland, no matter how much Zhao Fu persuades him, this point is useless.

"But ......" Zheng Yuan still had a bitter face.

"It's an order!" Zhao Fu pretended to be angry.

"Yes......" Zheng Yuan had to compromise.

"Okay, this is a big city, and there are a lot of loot, so pick and choose if you like it." Zhao Fu asked Zheng Yuan.

"......" Zheng Yuan didn't answer, he was obviously still blaming himself, thinking that the credit for breaking the city this time was not his own.

"Forget it, you go and prepare hot water for me, and I'll take a shower later." Zhao Fu could only eliminate his sense of self-blame by ordering Zheng Yuan.

"Okay, I'll go." Zheng Yuan was very satisfied with the work.

"General Zheng is such an interesting person." Zhao Qian commented.

"Heh, why are you still calling the general?" Zhao Fu remembered that Zhao Qian had always called Zheng Yuan "this kid" and "that kid" before.

"Something touching...... Probably envy. Zhao Qian didn't know where to find a fan from the City Lord's Mansion, and he fanned it very lightly.

"Envy what, envy people can kill people?" Zhao Fu asked.

"No, it's envy that he can dominate the life and death of others." Zhao Qian put the fan away suddenly, and then used the fan to make a sword movement.

"A knife is a human life, it seems to be chic, but this kind of thing is just something that a reckless man does. Only to lead the army to fight thousands of miles, and ...... to hear the Tao The city of twilight is in the hands of tens of millions of people. Zhao Qian continued, and then he shook off the fan again and continued to fan it gently.

"But I can't do that kind of thing." Finally, Zhao Qian summed it up.

"Fooling around, this kind of thing is not something to show off." Zhao Fu kept clapping his hand on Zhao Qian's shoulder.

“…… vomited ......" but saw Zhao Qian vomit again.

"Vomit...... I really can't do such a thing as a war, and I won't go with you next time I die...... "Zhao Qian followed behind Zhao Fu this time, although he played soy sauce, but he really had zero contact with the war, and witnessed the fall of countless fresh lives.......

"Haven't you gotten used to it?" Zhao Fu hurriedly flashed away a little.

"Vomit...... I...... I still want to throw up when I think about it. Zhao Qian said.

"Then don't think about it, this kind of thing shouldn't have anything to do with you, just let us do such a sinful thing as blood on our hands." Zhao Fu frowned.

"But...... Vomit...... This kind of sinful thing, I actually want to do. Zhao Qian said strongly.

"I actually want to control the life and death of others in my hands, even if it is a 'sinful thing'.
