Chapter 173: Persuade Hua Yingjie to surrender.
"Siege!" Seeing that the six cultivators who were scorching in flames were stopped by the rain of thunderous arrows and fell to the ground, they waved their hands and shouted without waiting for the martial arts wind to urge Min Duwei.
Kill... Lu Ji couldn't hold back the anger in his heart for a long time, but he never forgot his task, and took the lead in pulling the hammer straight to the city gate and rushed over.
The six cultivators who landed had already seen the strength of Wuli and Thunderstorm just now, and they didn't dare to take advantage of it at all. At this time, seeing Lu Ji rushing over in the lead, he immediately separated two people who wanted to intercept his way.
"Get out of here!" Lu Ji saw the two cultivators rushing over, and with a loud roar, he picked up the hammer and smashed it over. His hammer didn't look too big, so the two cultivators prepared to work together to stop it.
Bang, hammer slam. The cultivator who rushed in front was swept away on the spot as if he had been hit by a train, and the one behind was weakened a little bit by the strength of the hammer, which was not so bad, but he also took a few steps back and lost his ability to fight completely due to the depression of his sternum.
If Lu Ji doesn't make a move, he will be unstoppable. Under the hammer, two cultivators were killed and wounded.
Zhang Yizheng and Jiang Yin, who had already sent Yu Sanjin back from the battle, also found two cultivators respectively, and several of them fought in one place, and the remaining two cultivators didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to participate in the battle, and they kept wandering among the crowd besieging the city, which had no effect on the battle situation.
The distance between the city walls on both sides was not very far, and Lu Ji rushed to the halfway point to join Wuli and the two rushed towards the city gate like two mountains, and the sergeants with shields behind them could not keep up with their footsteps at all.
There was a loud bang, and when the two of them arrived at the city gate, Lu Ji's kung fu Wuli actually jumped up and slammed directly into the city gate with his shoulder.
Lu Ji looked at Wu Li a little speechlessly and said secretly in his heart, there can still be this kind of operation, this barbarian is really rough and thick-skinned!
When the two bombarded the city gate, the city sergeant was not slow to react, and the boulders kept pouring down, but fortunately, the shield soldiers came in time to protect the two tightly, otherwise the hot oil spilled on the city was enough for the two brothers to drink a pot.
"Formation!" Uli shouted, snatching two huge shields from the shieldmen beside him, holding one hand above his head, the other shieldmen immediately changed their formations after receiving the order, one half-crouched and carried the other, and inserted the shield under the two shields of Uli, forming a huge slope at the city gate.
The surface of the shield is as smooth as a mirror after special treatment, and if you fall on it with boulders and arrows, it will slide down the slope, tightly protecting the siege of Lu Ji inside.
The battle here was lively, and the siege soldiers were not to be outdone, and they quickly assembled the siege ladder and began the general attack. The 200 archers under Lei Jingyu constantly interfered with the defenders of the city, but Lei Jingyu alone suppressed the defenders on the city tower.
"Ignite!" Hua Yingjie gave an order, and the defenders at the head of the city quickly lit the torches.
"General, what the Lieyan Army dumped just now was fire oil!" said Martial Arts Blade Wind to Min Duwei anxiously.
Min Duwei held down the city bricks without squinting and poked his entire upper body out, "Beat the drum and speed up the siege!"
"General, will this increase the casualties of our sergeants!" Wu Daofeng was puzzled when he saw that the old general did not order the withdrawal of the army, but instead gave the order to speed up the siege of the city.
Knock knock, the sound of the drum was as fast as a sound, and the sound in the ears urged the Manlin sergeant to accelerate towards the city. Min Duwei has been a general for many years, and his soldiers have always been known for his stability. He knew that if he withdrew the soldiers who were besieging the city this time, he would inevitably shake the morale of the army, and if he couldn't attack once, it would be in vain to attack the city several times, so he resolutely issued the order to attack the city.
"Put!" Hua Yingjie saw that Min Duwei did not withdraw his troops but accelerated the siege of the city, which was also for many years, how could he not know what Min Duwei had in mind.
The defenders quickly threw their torches down the city, and the hot oil burst into flames. Many of the siege sergeants were still scattered at the foot of the city, and many of them were surrounded by the fire in an instant, and the roar rang out.
The hot oil was full of firepower, not only burning the soldiers on the ground everywhere, but also many siege ladders had begun to burn. The Manlin sergeant on the ladder not only had to climb on his back, but also suffered the scorching light of the fire below, and the siege slowed down in a flash.
"Archers, concentrate your fire on the towers!" shouted Thunderstorm as he gathered his archers and fired at the defenders on the towers.
Boom, after the loud noise, a cloud of dust rose from the city gate, and the city gate of the inner city of Wolong City was finally blasted open by the hammer in Lu Ji's hand.
"Change formation!" Uli turned the shield in his hand, and the shield soldiers jumped off their teammates one after another, raising their shields again, and lined up inside and out at the city gate, forming a long corridor of shields.
Kill... Lu Ji let go of the dust and rushed into the city first.
The defenders finally had a breach, and Min Duwei breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, if the city gate was not broken again, the Manlin army would pay a very heavy price even if it captured the inner city, and the ruthlessness of water and fire was not just talking.
"General, withdraw, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!" At the head of the city, the guards knelt down on one knee in front of Hua Yingjie and admonished.
"Go, where are you going, go back to the flames?" Hua Yingjie looked down at the influx of Manlin Army, his mood extremely complicated. He didn't deal with the general Yan Yu very well in the Lieyan Army, and he knew very well what Yan Yu meant by leaving him here. The place where the birds don't in the Wolong Kingdom is like a burden to the huge Burning Flame Empire, and this time the troops came to plunder it under the pretext of snatching the spiritual vein, and they didn't want to include the territory of the Wolong Kingdom into the Burning Flame Empire.
Yan Yu kept him and almost cut off all his resources in the Lieyan Country, if he returned to Lieyan at this time, then he might not even be as good as an ordinary leader in the empire. Hua Yingjie's character is also proud, how could he let himself fall into such an embarrassing situation.
"Forget it, you surrender!" Hua Yingjie turned around and said with a little dejectedness.
"Okay, my subordinates will signal them to surrender!" the guard muttered, and just wanted to turn away, but suddenly turned his head.
"What do you mean, General?" asked the guard, hesitantly.
"Pass my order, the whole army will give up resistance and surrender!" Hua Yingjie did not hesitate to shout to the banner soldiers beside him.
Woo woo woo ... In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the horn of the Flame Army's surrender sounded heavily. Hearing the sound of the horn, the veterans on both sides immediately stopped, but many of the recruits in the Manlin sergeant who did not know what to do continued to rush and kill, but were dragged back by the veterans around them.
Wu Daofeng smashed his fist on the city head excitedly, "Old general, take it!"
"Congratulations to the City Lord on his promotion to the Lord of a Nation!" Min Duwei let out a long breath and whispered to Wu Blade Wind. Wu Jian Feng waved his hand again and again, but his face was proud.
Wu Daofeng knew very well in his heart, as long as he took the ownership of other cities such as Wuyi in Wolong City, it was just a trivial matter, so Min Duwei, the lord of the country, made him very useful.
"Enter the city!" The two walked down the city together, Wu Jian Feng stepped on his mount and pointed at the whip, and the Manlin army slowly drove through the city gate into the inner city.
After the surrender of the Flame Army, the inner city was silent, the defenders lost their armor, and the people stayed at home. Min Duwei arranged for the sergeants to clean up the battlefield and extinguish the flames, and gathered the surrendered defenders to the north of Wolong City.
"General, no!" Wu Blade Wind was riding on the one-eyed fire cloud horse and slowly walked down the spacious streets of the inner city, when he heard a shout not far away. Looking for prestige, I saw Hua Yingjie holding a long knife across his neck, and was grabbed by an arm by a guard. Wu Daofeng was wondering where he had gone, and before he could think about it, he jumped out.
"Get out of the way, the lord of the country is here!" Seeing that he had a sense of the past, Wu Bladefeng's personal guards hurriedly ordered the Manlin Army, who were standing in a row to be reviewed, to make way and slapped a sycophant.
"Lord?" a few of the slower sergeants looked left and right at a moment's notice. There was a shrewd sergeant next to him who dragged them down, "Stupid, Wolong City has let us fight down, then isn't our city lord the lord of the country!" For a while, this sentence spread like the wind to all corners of the Manlin Army, and all the sergeants also agreed very much.
"General, what's the matter!" Wu Daofeng looked around, enjoying enough of the eager eyes of the sergeants, and then came to Hua Yingjie's side and asked.
"Lord Wucheng, I should call you the lord of the country now! I am the general of the defeated army, I just want to serve the country with my body, and I hope that the lord of the country will be kind to the soldiers of the Flame who surrendered to me. Hua Yingjie said and raised his hand again to wipe it around his neck.
"General, don't leave the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood!" "The guard grabbed Hua Yingjie's arm and howled bitterly.
"Get out of the way, you can't persuade people to be in the right place!" The guards persuaded Hua Yingjie with their butts facing outward, and they were kicked by Wu Blade Wind.
"This!" This move made Hua Yingjie also stunned, and the long knife in his hand naturally left his neck, and Wu Jian Feng took the opportunity to snatch the long knife away.
"It's not that I said you, you are also a general of the first army, how can you find a short sight after losing a battle?" Wu Daofeng swiped his wrist and stuck the long knife on the ground, looking at Hua Yingjie with righteous words.
Eh, Hua Yingjie saw that he had committed suicide and didn't speak, so he sighed and turned around.
"Does General Hua think that we have few soldiers in Wolong or that we are too small in Wolong?" At this time, Min Duwei came over from behind, and he saw that Wu Daofeng had the heart to recruit talents, so he stimulated Hua Yingjie with his words.
"Why did the old general say this, Hua is a general of the defeated army, why not dislike it!" Hua Yingjie saw Min Duwei coming, and quickly turned around and bowed. He is not very pretentious to Wu Daofeng, but he has great respect for Min Duwei, because although the Wolong Kingdom is small, he has heard the name of the old general Min Duwei many years ago.
"Presumably, General Hua also has something unspeakable, and the old man doesn't ask much, why don't you let General Hua stay in our Wolong?" Min Duwei said straight to the point.
"General, since you don't want to go back to Lieyan, then stay!" The guard got up from the ground at some point and grabbed Hua Yingjie's arm again.
"When our Wolong Empire is employing people, General Min Lao has a good idea, so don't shirk it!" Wu Daofeng saw that he was moved, and hurriedly expressed his attitude.
