Chapter 574: Sending the Sword
"The Tang Legion marches to Shamen City, lay down their weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed, and they can live as usual after the army!"
"The Tang Legion marches to Shamen City, lay down their weapons, and those who surrender will not be killed, and they can live as usual after the army!"
……
Outside the Shamen City, two waves of arrows rained down, and no one dared to rise to the top of the city.
The Recruits may be able to show some of their personal prowess, but they are of no use when faced with the Legion's concentrated forces.
Good at hunting, lasso, archery and other abilities are completely useless.
Even some trenches, tripwires, etc., which were dug early, did not do much.
At this time, outside the city was round after round of shouting.
"Let's go and see it!"
"The nobles and lords have all left, and the city gate has run away!"
"His Royal Highness King Ning was seriously injured and retreated!"
……
And in the city, as Li Hongru once again rushed in from the back gate of Shamen City with a vote of people who were good at spitting out Hun language, some shouts made the people in the city panic.
There was no city lord, no King Ning, that is, King Ning's guards had no command, and the whole city was in chaos.
The armies of the Tuhun King and the Tianzhu King have drawn a lot of manpower, and many cities are as if they are not fortified, so it is good that there are no problems, but they will quickly fall into chaos when they encounter war.
The bigwigs took the lead and ran away, bringing a heavy blow to morale.
This is an abandoned city of Shamen.
With several hard-line Tuhun people shot, the city opened its gates.
The city of more than 100,000 people is not large, and there are many old and weak women and children among them, and it is extremely difficult to resist the army.
If there were true commanders and masters, perhaps the entire city could be able to inflict thousands of casualties on the legion.
But King Ning's escape, the people of the city lord's department were killed, and there was no possibility.
Banners and red armor are constantly moving around the city.
Compared with Aolu City, it is easier to take Shamen City.
In the city lord's mansion, Li Daozong was constantly sending instructions one after another, collecting the city's materials.
In addition to maintaining the basic survival of ordinary people, he will not leave anything to be requisitioned for the Tuhun Royal Court.
The wealth and resources of a city are enormous.
Before he could go to Li Jing's side to confirm, the five hundred gold rewarded by Li Daozong had already been purchased.
Li Hongru held the reward of his work, only to feel that the return of the war was huge.
This is the dividend of the war, and it is also a benefit that only the top people can get.
For ordinary sergeants, taking Shamen City was just drinking wine and eating meat, and Li Hongru and others obtained a lot of money.
If the relationship between Shamen City is not opened, there is a high probability that there will be a bloody scene when the city is taken, which will also lead to resentment.
Li Hongru's bounty is not hot.
The rewards and punishments of the legion are clear, and Li Daozong will also pay attention to the rules when he is bold with his subordinates.
This is the reward within the rules.
"Six hundred gold!"
In just a few dozen days, Li Hongru earned money and obtained materials much faster than usual.
"No wonder some people in power love war!"
In the name of power, forcibly plundering the fruits of other people's labor, lacking the time process of labor, and there is no need to accumulate, this situation is easy to give people a sense of getting rich.
Confucianism emphasizes moderation and peace, and does not like war.
It's just that the Tang Emperor, who is far away in Chang'an City, is like a gas bag.
Occupying the orthodoxy of the eastern soil, the Tang Emperor was bound to be under pressure.
There is the suppression of the surrounding countries, and there are also some secret realms, and there is even no shortage of targets from some secret realms.
The conquest of the Tuhun Kingdom is not only because of the frequent conflicts in the border of the Tuhun Kingdom, but also because of the secret realm of the Xingsuchuan River.
Li Hongru didn't know how to fight this subsequent war, but it was obvious that conquering the Tuhun country and sweeping away the temples in Tuhun was the first thing, and then it would be the turn of Xingsuchuan.
Only the prestige is strong enough to dispel some people's secret thoughts.
No one's country can rely on a mouth to hold on, in the final analysis, country to country, country and secret realm all rely on the strength of the fist to speak.
Only if it is strong enough will it lead to reciprocal treatment, so that it will not think about gnawing on the next piece of meat.
"Only strong enough ......"
Li Hongru silently gnawed on the gold in his hand, and grinded his teeth on the demon pestle from time to time.
The stats of wealth and gold stone are not like food will make him feel full in his belly.
As long as the demonic power is strong enough, he can continue to digest it.
At this time, the data of Taiwuzhong continued to improve.
Constantly accumulating, constantly improving himself, he just wants to have a safe and worry-free place.
Whether it involves the prince, or the family, or himself.
Within the scope of Li Hongru's ability, he will continue to accumulate his strength, rather than waiting until one day when he needs it to work hard.
"Six hundred riches, one thousand two hundred and fifty gold stones, seventy cloths."
Two hand-throwing arc knives, one thousand thorns, three demon-slaying pestles, and species bags.
After a few days of repeated accounts, Li Hongru has already put all these acquired things into his stomach.
At this time, he was empty-handed, but Li Hongru only felt a little more confidence.
"Second brother, have you awakened from retreat? Mr. Li, please go! ”
Li Dan's voice came from outside the door, which made Li Hongru's body shake slightly, and the demon Yuan God switched back instantly.
He answered, patted the dust off his body, and then stood up and went to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
This place is a revisit to the old place.
The three monks who had killed Anda, Dhara, and Sati a few days ago were still vivid, and the hall had been cleaned by this time.
Li Daozong sat in the main hall of the hall.
The number of generals stood around Li Daozong, with a happy face.
"Chief Manager Li is coming quickly, the Shanshan Dao march is the fastest marching, the lowest casualties, and the most captured regiments!"
Seeing that Li Hongru was coming, Li Daozong opened his mouth.
His face was extremely satisfied.
He faced the most trouble of the Five Routes, but he was also the first to solve the problem, and even advanced briskly all the way, far better than the requirements in the military order.
At this time, the five roads continued to be encircled, forming an oppressive situation against the Tuhun country.
What's more important is King Ning's surrender, which will greatly help Li Jing.
The clear instructions on the location and layout of the Tuhun Royal Court Legion made the Tang Legion a lot less to do.
At least the Shanshan Daoxing Legion didn't need to go all the way down the city.
Conquering a city will bring material gains, but it will also cause the legion to step into a vortex of trouble.
Shanshan Road marched the fastest and avoided some problems, but the last road march, the Chishui Road march, and the Yanze Road march all had a lot of problems.
"There is no shortage of troops facing the sneak attack of some Tuhun masters in the middle of the night, some people are ambushed, but there are also some people who can come and go freely, and it is difficult to deal with!"
More than half of Li Daozong's words were spoken, and some questions were mentioned.
The situation that was not encountered in the march of Shanshan Road, except for Li Jing of Xihai Road and Hou Junji of Jishi Road, appeared in the other three roads.
Everyone has relatives, friends and offspring, and if the killing is too heavy, it will inevitably trigger some backlash.
When Li Daozong marched, he used a five-on-five battle formation to solve Aolu City, and then used demagogy and persuasion to settle in Shamen City.
And Li Jing and Hou Junji also have their own solutions, such as Li Daliang, Gao Yongsheng, Li Daoyan and others are in trouble.
"Our Jianghu Division is just a false name, and we can't command the Jianghu people in Datang," Li Hongru hugged his fist.
Li Daozong's words opened, and Li Hongru knew very well what the other party wanted to express.
But at this time, it is not yet February, and even if the Jianghu people of Datang run to Tuhun after the New Year, they will not be able to catch up.
When Li Hongru entered Shamen City, he did not find any Jianghu people from the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty mentioned that the imperial court and the rivers and lakes should be two-pronged......"
"I'm a Broken Captain now!"
In the land of Tuhu, Li Hongru's ability is not much.
This is more about the continuous help of Changsun Wuji, Yu Chengye and others, and publicizing it in the territory of Datang, so that it is possible for the masters of the rivers and lakes to pour into the Tuhun country.
"Look at this man!"
Li Daozong didn't speak in a hurry, but just handed over a portrait.
The portrait shows six middle-aged Taoists, all of whom have extraordinary bearing and have the ability to step on swords and fly.
Li Daozong pointed to one of them.
"It's Xuancheng Daoist, why did he come out again?"
Li Hongru sighed lightly.
Just by starting the portrait, Li Hongru noticed the identity of the person in the portrait.
This is the Wuzhuang Taoist Xuancheng he met with Li Daozong.
Li Hongru had already known that the other party was a Tuhun person, but he didn't expect that Xuancheng Daoist would actually come out of Wuzhuang Temple to assist the Tuhun royal court.
"Manager Li has learned some information, saying that you know the location of Wuzhuang Temple, and I want to ask you to go to Wanshou Mountain to send a sword!"
