Several warriors brought by the Bishop of the Temple of Light put away Fu An's headless corpse, and then put away the battle armor and earth splitting sword on his body, and prepared to return it to the Fu family. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the unwritten rule of this alien planet, after a duel, the winning side can break the opponent into pieces, but cannot capture the enemy's weapons and armor. Therefore, Ma Mengshi could not profit from the two saint-level treasures on Fu Anning's body.

However, the death of Fu Anning in battle has already made the Great Wu Kingdom hurt to the bone. If there is a choice, the Great Wu Kingdom would rather exchange the lives of 200,000 troops for the lives of Fu Anning, the Great Wu Kingdom only has five law saints and thirteen war saints, and now that one has been killed, the strength will naturally be greatly damaged. A saint-level powerhouse is not so easy to replenish.

Exchanging injuries for injuries is the strategy formulated by Yang Siqi for Ma Mengshi. The battle must be a war of attrition, and in the end, if you want to really win, with Ma Mengshi's strength, it is difficult to do it, after all, Fu Anning's strength is above her. Moreover, if it is not to give the enemy a fatal blow, as long as the opponent is given a little time, the opponent will blow himself up, Ma Mengshi is afraid that it will be difficult to retreat, and the self-explosion of the saint-level powerhouse is definitely not a joke.

Therefore, Yang Siqi made such a bad move. For Ma Mengshi to be really seriously injured, it is best to appear fatal, and also pretend to take healing potions to buy a little time for himself, and then pretend to be desperate to reduce the vigilance of the enemy. In fact, the bottle was not filled with healing elixir, but life energy given by Yang Siqi.

Although Ma Mengshi was hit by Fu Anning's shattered armor battle gang, all the internal organs had been torn apart, and only one breath was left, but the life energy was so magical, after taking it, her injuries had been completely recovered in just ten seconds.

When she attacked the first sword, the injury had not yet recovered, and when the second sword was shaken away, the blood she vomited was fake at all, she bit the tip of her tongue and spit it out, but her acting skills were good and she pretended to be like it. By the time of the third sword, his injuries had been completely healed, but for the sake of arrogance of the enemy, he was only shocked away in his clothes. The fourth sword suddenly exerted all its strength, stabbing a deadly sword at the fastest speed.

If it weren't for that, Fu Anning's sword would only increase the gravity by a hundredfold, and for her, who had already adapted to more than three hundred times the gravity, it would not be the same thing at all, so how could she not avoid that sword?

There was a twenty-day truce, and I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least, all the soldiers of the two battalions of the Pegasus Legion were happy, and they were rich without him. There is a lot of wealth in Sand Iron City, although Ma Mengshi has the lion's share, and of course they can also make a fortune, how can everyone make a profit of at least a hundred gold coins. For a soldier who was paid only two gold coins a month, a hundred gold coins was already a lot of wealth.

After a night's rest, Ma Mengshi convened a military meeting to discuss the next battle plan.

This time, Yang Siqi was the first to speak: "Shi'er, our Ma family is short of people." ”

Ma Mengshi was stunned, and all the generals were stunned, what does Yang Siqi mean by this?

"The current number of people in our Ma family has exceeded 10 million. But how can such a small person be successful? We also need more people, and now is the best opportunity where we can grab people, grab money. ”

"How to grab it?"

"The dozens of small cities west of the Sand Iron City have a total population of five or six million, and the wealth accumulation among them is naturally quite a lot. Now there is a twenty-day truce, then, as long as the high-level of the kingdom's military department knows what to do if their brains are not broken, they will definitely gather a large number of troops as quickly as possible, and then, all these small cities will be captured, and no one will care, but the money must be grabbed. Being able to grab all the money from dozens of small cities is a lot of money. The Kingdom will not let go of this opportunity. ”

"You mean we're going to take these cities first and grab the money. After this money becomes our spoils, even the kingdom will not dare to ask us? Ma Mengshi's eyes lit up. Through this battle, she realized for the first time that being rich is a good thing, she used to be poor, and when she was fighting, she didn't dare to use magic scrolls much, but now? One loss is a thousand hundred, and this battle is particularly easy.

"Don't you have nothing on your mind but war? Stupid. Yang Siqi glanced at his wife.

Ma Guohua looked at his father with adoring eyes, his father was so majestic, he dared to scold his mother.

Ma Mengshi made Yang Siqi's scolding a little unnatural: "Why am I stupid?" ”

"If you want to get benefits, you don't have to fight, my purpose is to gain both people and money, not to lose both people and money." Yang Siqi said angrily.

"You're really dreaming, do you think you can achieve both people and money? How? ”

"Persuade me to surrender. You wouldn't be surprised, would you? You send people to analyze and analyze those city lords and nobles, when the kingdom's army arrives, will it attack the city, each of their cities, the number of defenders is only one or two thousand, and the few are simply a few hundred, can they block the siege of the army? After the city is broken, will the family be scattered and the people will die? Twenty days is enough for the kingdom to conquer all these dozens of cities, but what about people? Waste food, don't take care of it, and rob all your property. ”

Everyone kind of understood.

"If they surrender to my Pegasus Legion and voluntarily become the subjects of my Ma family, the kingdom's armies will have no excuse to attack the city, and their lives and property will be saved. Then, they moved to the territory of our Ma family. Our Ma family is notoriously good to the people, as long as we become the leaders of the Ma family, everything will be the best. The standard of living of our Ma family's leaders is one of the best, far better than they are now. And so and so on. I'm afraid that they don't surrender are only a minority, right? ”

After listening to what Yang Siqi said, all the generals tasted it, Yang Siqi's trick was poisonous, and he gained both people and money. They all volunteered to become the subjects of the Ma family, and people could still run there. Since they are going to move into the territory of the Ma family, then all the things that can be brought with them will be taken away, and the Ma family will make a fortune out of thin air.

Ma Mengshi couldn't help but sigh and said, "It turns out that you are so treacherous, no wonder I deceived you." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals looked at Ma Mengshi with strange eyes. Ma Mengshi already felt that something was wrong when she said this, shouldn't she have said it when the two couples were whispering in bed? Thinking of this, Ma Mengshi's pretty face turned a little red.

Seeing this side of Ma Mengshi, the expressions of the generals were strange, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and the expressions were as ridiculous as they were.

Yang Siqi smiled: "Conscience of heaven and earth, when did I lie to you, in vain I tried my best to find a way for you, but you wronged me like this, Hua'er, you have to help your father get justice." ”

"Yes, Dad, I will help you get justice." Ma Guohua didn't know what justice was, he didn't know that his father and mother were playing tricks, and what big things did his father want him to do in the future? patted his chest and agreed.

Hearing Yang Siqi's coquettish speech like an angry little daughter-in-law, and seeing Ma Guohua like that, this time, the generals couldn't hold back anymore, and they all laughed wildly.

Ma Mengshi glared at Yang Siqi, remember this account first, and then calculate it when you go back.

The next thing is to send someone to persuade him to surrender. Two battalions are elite, and it is not difficult to transfer two or three hundred lobbyists.

As Yang Siqi expected, all the small cities agreed to the Ma family's conditions at the first time and voluntarily became the Ma family's lords, of course, this only refers to ordinary commoners, as for the nobles, they naturally disagreed, but the Ma family did not embarrass them, but sent someone to send them back. However, the money for this redemption is indispensable.

There are three reasons why it has gone so well.

First, the harsh reality. The Great Wu Kingdom cannot cross the 100,000 mountains within twenty days, and these small cities cannot withstand the ten days of siege by the army of the Tiger Kingdom, and they may not be able to support it even for a day or two. Once the city is broken, it is not possible to suffer a massacre, but it is not impossible to say that there will be more than 1 in 10 deaths. Because of the presence of the Temple of Light, there will be no massacre in the war between the human kingdoms, if someone dares to massacre civilians, the Temple of Light will interfere, but only a small number of civilians will be killed and injured, and the Temple of Light will not care, after all, there will definitely be casualties in the war.

Second, the issue of property. The city is broken, and of course the money can't be saved. The Temple of Light will save people's lives, but it will not protect people's money. Once the city is broken, the army will naturally loot the wealth of the entire city, and when the time comes, everyone's money will not be able to keep even a copper coin.

Third, the good reputation of the Ma family. Although hostile to the Tiger Kingdom, the good reputation of the Ma family is well known, and since the Ma family has promised not to rob them of a penny, they will definitely not rob them of their money. In addition, in the past few years, the development of the Ma family is simply terrifying, and the leaders of the Ma family have made a small fortune. Its standard of living is higher than that of all the people of the surrounding countries. In this way, it is not unacceptable to go to the territory of the Ma family.

Taken together, the three reasons make sense.

The sixth prince Tiger Xiaotian is not a fool, when he received Ma Mengshi to kill Fu Anning and win the bet, it was already the fifth day of the first month of October, and he immediately thought of the small cities west of the Sand Iron City. Immediately order all the troops of Qingshan City to go forward and attack these cities and plunder their wealth.

Unfortunately, his order was given too late.

On the fourth day of October, Yang Siqi proposed to persuade him to surrender, and on the same day, at the speed of the Pegasus Battalion, lobbyists had already arrived in the cities to persuade him to surrender. Because of the limited time, the city lords and defenders of each city only discussed for a long time before deciding to surrender.

That is to say, on the fifth day of the first month of October, when the tiger roared and the world ordered, the Ma family had already collected the surrender documents of each city, all the formalities had been completed, and all the people and money in these cities had already been surnamed Ma. The Ma family has eaten up this piece of fat and wiped it clean, and there is nothing left for the kingdom.

On the morning of the fifth day of October. When the defenders of Castle Peak City began to mobilize their troops, the Pegasus Battalion had already sent a large pile of paperwork to Castle Castle for the defenders to hand over to the six princes.

The guards are dumbfounded, everyone has already eaten the meat, what kind of ghost campaign are they ordering? Go eat air?

On the seventh day of the first month of October, after the sixth prince received the report, he was so angry that he smashed his favorite piece of jade pendant, but he could only grit his teeth empty.

On October 18, all the soldiers and civilians of dozens of cities marched west to Qingshan City, and then, escorted by 10,000 light cavalry of the Pegasus Legion, marched to Beicang Province. With the protection of these 10,000 light horses, I believe that no one dares to do it. After all, this is in the territory of the Tiger Kingdom, and the Ma family's signboard is still very loud. The ordinary little thieves dare not provoke, and as for the nobles everywhere, they also have to ask if they dare to offend the Ma family.

On October 23, the 20-day truce expired, but the Fourth Army of the Great Wu State still could not cross the Sand Iron City, because the Sand Iron City had already ignited a sky-high fire, and it could not be stopped without two or three days.

By 27 October, the Fourth Army was finally able to march, but it did not dare to do so. Now it is clear that the more than 800 miles from Shatiecheng to Qingshan City is already a no-man's land, and here, the army of the Great Wu Army cannot find any supplies. If all the supplies were transported from the rear, plus the Whirlwind Battalion and Pegasus Battalion of Arima Monshi were killing the transport team behind the scenes, I am afraid that less than half of the supplies that could be transported to the front line. In this way, this battle is still a ghost.

Logistics supplies are impossible for any army to lack, and once there is a problem with the logistics supply line, the entire army is very likely to collapse in a short period of time. When it was unable to secure its own logistical transportation lines, the Fourth Army still dared to march? Are you really not afraid of death?

In addition, Fu Anning died in battle, although the new commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army is the original deputy commander-in-chief and a member of the Fu family, but the morale is still very low, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as the usual eighty percent.

The labor is far away, the logistics are unstable, but the enemy has a strong city in hand, and he has no chance of winning such a battle. Therefore, the Great Wu State also ordered the Fourth Army not to advance westward, but to stay and rebuild the Sand Iron City.

On October 29, after receiving an order from Tiger Roaring Sky, Ma Mengshi had to lead two battalions of soldiers south to support Donghu Province, support the Shenlu Legion, and garrison Yinhu City.
