A Taibai dead soldier handed a kettle to Huang Quan on the city tower and said softly: "King, there is not much fresh water left, you can drink some first." ”

Although Huang Quan frowned, he still took the kettle, poured it into his mouth violently and asked, "I'm also a little confused, how many days has Jiangnan salinized our water source?" ”

The dead man hurriedly replied, "It's been two and a half days, my lord. ”

Huang Quan nodded, thought for a while and then asked, "Over there in the Taishou Mansion, is there any guarantee for the water they drink?" ”

"Don't worry, the king, although the enemy's salinization method has polluted most of the wells in the city, there are still a few good wells at the extreme north end of the city, and the water that Miss has personally sent over these days, so naturally there is no big problem."

After hearing this, Huang Quan continued to ask, "What about the army?" What about the water source for the army? ”

The dead soldier was stunned and could only grit his teeth and replied: "The situation is very bad, some high-ranking officers can barely drink a little good water, and those low-ranking soldiers think that they haven't drunk water for more than a day." ”

Huang Quan's sideburns have more white hair, obviously this is his recent stealing of the power of heaven and earth to exert the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, he has already rained a few times in the city, but Jiang Nan has already taken precautions, Guo Zhun has been fighting against Huang Quan against the Heavenly Dao, although Huang Quan's cultivation is higher, but with such repulsion, the rain that falls is naturally not much.

Huang Quan is almost in his sixtieth year, and Guo Zhun is only twenty and four, so in the confrontation of vitality, Huang Quan is obviously at a disadvantage.

Huang Quan rubbed his forehead, looking at the several soldiers under the city tower who were still fighting for a pot of water, the people who were forced in front of the city gate were scattered, his heart seemed to be trembling, although he was very imposing when he said it, but when it came to that juncture, I am afraid that no one would not be afraid.

However, Huang Quan knew that this torment was only a slow death, and the time for Jiujiang to break the city was not far off.

"General!"

Huang Quan was stunned for a while when he heard this title, he hadn't been called a general for a long time, he naturally thought of a person, and looked back.

"It's Shaokun here."

This is the second time that Liu Shaokun has taken the initiative to talk to Huang Quan since he returned to Jiujiang, except for when the Jiangnan soldiers came to the city.

"General!" Liu Shaokun's face was full of solemnity, his face was still pale, and the matter of the Taibai Sect in the past few months had still consumed a lot of this high-spirited military advisor.

"Our soldiers have already started to riot. In the east and west of the city, there have been about five or six riots in the past two days, large and small, and they have no water source, so they are in a hurry to get out of the city, and it is not a way to go on like this. ”

Huang Quan didn't speak, and Liu Shaokun continued.

"These soldiers have been used to acting as a force for a long time, and when they rioted, they began to kill their colleagues and kill civilians, and now the suppression may still be somewhat effective. But that kind of negativity continues to infect the people around me, and I am afraid that later, the brother who accompanied Shaokun to suppress the riot last time will become a rioter next time. ”

Liu Shaokun was very excited, and when Huang Quan was about to speak, there was already a crackling sound under the city tower.

The recruits who had been put on the front line a few days ago, plus an infantry regiment of about 700 people, once again drew their butcher's knives against their former robes.

Just under the city tower, right in front of his eyes, Huang Quan's pupils continued to shrink, although there were still some Taibai soldiers who were willing to help him suppress it, but the long-term lack of water had made them basically lose their combat effectiveness.

"My lord, the dead have all been assembled, ready to be strangled at any time against the rebels."

After the dead man finished speaking expressionlessly, Liu Shaokun also set his eyes on Huang Quan.

I saw Huang Quan wave his hand, signaling him to retreat, then pulled out the sword at his waist and was about to go down.

"Stop it all!" Huang Quan shouted, and several heavenly thunderbolts fell in the air, immediately dividing the battlefield. The rioting soldiers were stunned, and the soldiers who were still suppressing also looked at their king stupidly.

"The King..."

Several Taibai soldiers led by the riot shouted tremblingly, they didn't have much strength left, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground by the way, making a loud noise.

"You're good." Huang Quan slowly spit out four words.

"King, we really can't help it!" A veteran of the Taibai Sect walked out.

"I have followed you since Yu Zexiang, there is no merit and hard work along the way, but now we have no water to drink, your high position and power can naturally drink some clean water, but our brothers have not been touched by a drop of water for a few days, and there are already many old brothers who have taken the first step."

The veteran said as he seemed to blame himself, "I'm afraid of death, I hide in the back every time I fight, but may I ask the king who is not afraid of death, we brothers all follow you to fill our stomachs, but now...

We used to be just ordinary people, and now we want to leave the king when he is in danger, I know that in your eyes we are despicable, dirty, and immoral, but it doesn't matter to us anymore, so please let us out of the city for the sake of the old days! ”

The veteran had already taken the lead in kneeling, and hundreds of people behind him fell to their knees.

Liu Shaokun also followed this Huang Quan to the bottom of the city tower, and when he heard the words of the veteran, he was angry and wanted to draw his sword and step forward, but was stopped by Huang Quan.

"Please let us out of the city, we swear that we will just go out of the city to find some water to drink, and we will never surrender to Jiangnan!"

"Ask the king for mercy..."

In the face of the petitions of these soldiers, Huang Quan's eyes wandered, the so-called morale has dissipated, even if these soldiers stay, they have no combat effectiveness, not to mention that they are still in the situation of extreme water shortage on their own side.

With a deep sigh, Huang Quan took a step forward, "Get up!" ”

Suddenly, he mixed his cultivation into his voice and shouted, and almost the entire Jiujiang County resounded through his voice.

"Anyone else who wants to go out of the city today can come to the north gate, and my Huang Quan will not stop it!"

…

"Good news, my lord!"

Jiang Nan, who was still reading in the barracks, suddenly saw Chen Lin running over in a hurry, so he put down the book and looked up.

"The lord's plan is really exquisite, there is no good water in Jiujiang County, the Taibai soldiers have not been touched for two days, according to the spies, there have been several civil strife in Huang Quan's army, just now, Huang Quan opened the city gates, and simply let all the soldiers who wanted to flee out of the city!"

"Oh?" Jiang Nan got up, "Huang Quan still has such courage? It's really beyond my expectations, Lao Chen, are you sure? Could these be some tactics made by Liu Shaokun? ”

In the face of Jiang Nan's question, Chen Lin thought for a while, and then immediately replied simply: "Lord Qiqi, when he first heard these news, Lin didn't dare to confirm it, so he personally took hundreds of armor soldiers to take a look near Jiujiang County, and saw a large number of soldiers pouring out in the direction of its north gate, these soldiers were all disheveled, their eyes were dull, and the preliminary estimate was that there were more than tens of thousands of people.

So Lin climbed a few people to pretend to see where these people went, and after a while, the spies told them that these escaped Taibai soldiers all ran to the nearest water source outside the city, and some soldiers also fought for the water source, where is a little discipline! ”

Chen Lin paused for a moment and said, "So Lin can be sure that the current Jiujiang County is almost an empty city!" ”

"Good!" Jiang Nan ordered as soon as he took the case: "Lao Chen, you go and inform Shantai now, Ling pressed Niu Fen and told them to immediately rectify the army and horses, and the army drove directly to the north gate of Jiujiang!"

This time, we must take Jiujiang City in one fell swoop! ”

Chen Lin in the audience immediately took the order to go out, and Jiang Nan also changed his armor under Bai Wei's service, and then strode towards Dianjiangtai.

On the top of Jiujiang City, Liu Shaokun stood on the left and right of Huang Quan, looking at the Taibai soldiers pouring out of the city gate, he already knew that the fall of the Taibai Sect was only a matter of a few hours.

"Shaokun, how am I doing this? There shouldn't be the banner of the Taibai Sect! "Huang Quan's question is full of self-deprecation.

Although Liu Shaokun was extremely angry when he heard the words of the veteran at that time, but later thought that since the fall of Jiujiang County was a matter of time, why let these soldiers die in vain, so Huang Quan's approach was immediately affirmed by him.

"The king is right."

The title has become the king, Huang Quan immediately laughed and said: "The king, hahaha, do you know Shaokun, what I want to hear most in the world is that you call me a king!" ”

Seeming to be a little excited, Huang Quan waved his hand: "Go, Shaokun, you go with Feng Hao and let those people in the East Gate go, if they are reluctant to stay in the city, it doesn't matter, if they want to come to Jiangnan to break the city, they won't be embarrassed, if they leave, just let them go!" ”

Liu Shaokun nodded, "King, I'll just tell General Feng to do it, I'll accompany this King here." ”

"Hahaha." Huang Quan laughed again, "Shaokun, you don't have to worry about me, that kid in Jiangnan won't be able to come here for a while, and besides, there are a thousand dead soldiers on my side!" ”

Liu Shaokun hesitated.

"Since you call me the king, then you must obey the order, those people must have been grudging for a long time, Feng Hao, that reckless man, is estimated to be angry and will fight, the scene still needs you to take care of it!"

Huang Quan insisted, Liu Shaokun had no choice, and then gritted his teeth and turned away.

Looking at Liu Shaokun's back, Huang Quan finally let go of the stone in his heart, he knew the speed of the Jiangnan cavalry, if he didn't break Liu Shaokun, then Liu Shaokun would definitely accompany him to death as soon as Jiangnan arrived!

And just like Huang Quan's own words, for the Taibai Sect, Liu Shaokun is not worthy of death.

"Fengjia!" Huang Quan called a dead soldier beside him.

"You thousand people, were left to me by the teacher before he died, whether I lived in seclusion in Yuze Township, or in the cavalry rebellion, I have always hidden you, but today, it may affect you."

This dead soldier named Feng Jia still looked indifferent, "King, since the old lord has ordered us to be loyal to you, then we must obey the order, even if I die, I have no complaints." ”

"Good!" Huang Quan laughed, and the beard, edges, and scars on his face were particularly obvious. He stretched out his hand to put on his white cloak and looked at the dusty Jiangnan troops in front of him.

It seems that he wants to say something grandiose.

But I think it's a little cheesy.

"After all, I'm a closed disciple of the Fengqi Immortal."

Feng Jia listened, feeling like Huang Quan's self-deprecation.
