Chapter 193: Slaughtering the City
The prisoner cart babbles and drives into the endless distance.
Wei Xiao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is this?"
"This is the Fertile Plain," replied the soldier, "and beyond that, there is Menglu County." ”
"Menglu County?" Wei Xiao was startled, remembering that the Fertile Plain he saw on the map of the Phantom Kingdom was south of Tiying, and further west, there were fifteen counties, including Menglu County, so the army of the demon clan had already crossed the last of the three lines of defense he had set up on the land of the clouds-Ti Ying?
He said in disbelief: "Has Yechen already captured Ti Ying?"
"Yes!" Speaking of the fierce siege battle, the little soldier who had been the captain of the gang also danced with some eyebrows: "In the three days that you were unconscious, General Yechen captured the defender Lou Fu, who is known as 'impregnable and unbreakable'! Speaking of which, General Lou Fu is indeed the leading general in the Phantom Kingdom, he led the army and people of the whole city to defend it, facing the army of 150,000 people of our demon clan, using both wood and stone, cannon remote attack, and also used the snow night to sneak attack our army, killing and injuring many demon soldiers!"
"And he also sent a team of sergeants to carry property out of the city in the guise of the people, and the brothers wanted to get those goods, and sent thousands of men and horses to chase after them, but they didn't want to be lured into the formation of Lou Fu, so he made the two wings outflank the law and wiped out the thousands of men and horses!"
"The first two days of the siege did nothing, but also lost thousands of people and horses, the guard general Lou Fu was still at the head of the city proudly shouted, saying that he swore to defend this city until the time of drinking chess with General Wei Xiao, telling Yechen not to be delusional!"
"General Yechen heard it under the city, so angry that he threw the golden cup, personally hung it out, and on the third day of the snowy night, he smashed the city head with a giant grid arrow made of ten thousand years of black iron, and shot Lou Fu, which broke Ti Ying and waved his army south!"
"It is said that when the general Lou Fu died, he still held a jar of chess pieces in his arms, fell from the city, and the black and white chess pieces were spilled on the ground, as if he was martyred," the little soldier shook his head and sighed: "This Lou Fu is also a hard bone, this battle was fought, General Yechen was very angry, and immediately ordered the army to besiege the city, slaughter the city and enter, build a wall outside the city to dig, so that the people in the city can not escape, and then the army entered the city, slaughtered, where it passed, the corpses were piled into mounds, there was no owner in the city, and within dozens of miles, the grass and trees were destroyed. ”
Wei Xiao listened to him talk about the tragic scene of the slaughter of the city, and his heart ached, but there was a suspicion in it: "How did Yechen know that the Lou Fu Night Army slept at the head of the city at night, and killed it with a giant arrow of Xuantie through the city?"
"This ......" Xiao Bing shook his head: "I don't know very well, but I heard that General Yechen saw a light and shadow that night, and there was a figure faintly in the light, and it seemed that the figure revealed the news to him...... General Yechen immediately opened the eye of insight, and pierced the wall with a heavy arrow, and the helmet in the middle of the building, the giant grid arrow shot through the helmet, and the blood poured down, and his face flowed, "At that time, he grabbed the big knife beside him, staggered down from the city like a black eagle, and wanted to assassinate General Yechen, but he landed under the city and fell to pieces...... "He thought of the general who fell from the city, and he couldn't help but gasp: It's terrible!"
"It's that Phantom Country spy again!" Wei Xiao clenched his hands, eager to smash his knuckles!
Lou annoyance——
The martial general Lou Fu who is always grinning and seems to care about everything, the Lou Fu who responds to his three non-killings in order to go to the front line, and shouts noisily to be the first to charge forward every time, the Lou Fu who holds the chess world at the head of the city and has to wait for Wei Xiao to come back, the Lou Fu who fights against the entire Demon Empire Army with the power of one city!
Xiao Bing said: "At that time, his body fell at the feet of General Yechen, General Yechen took a look, and only said one sentence: 'It's a pity! ”
Wei Xiao also sighed secretly in his heart: "Yes, the warriors of the world, who else can match this person?"
Where is this like a man who knows that he is going to perish?
A tragic hero, struggling in the mire of the end times.
Born great, born strong.
But it didn't help.
Tiying City is broken, and another battle star in the Illusory Kingdom has fallen.
Wei Xiao raised his head, and couldn't help but think with some sadness, after the Phantom Spirit Kingdom lost the general Xing Dugu Xin and the martial arts general Lou Fu one after another, who could resist the trampling of the iron hooves of the army of the Zhenglan Empire and the butcher's knife held high?
And the figure that repeatedly appears behind the back, but always strikes at critical moments, turns the tide of the battle, defeats the Phantom Army for the Demon Army, and shrinks in light and shadow, who is it?!
Wei Xiao frowned: "If this person is not removed, the phantom country will perish!"
He suddenly felt a little glaring, and raised his hand to block his eyes.
I saw the sunset on the fertile plains, as if soaked in blood, sprinkled on the earth.
It seemed to be a strange omen, because from this day on, the road of slaughtering the demon army began.
As soon as Wei Xiao's three lines of defense on the land in the clouds were broken, the rest of the county cities were like eggs hitting stones, so fragile that they could not withstand the blow of the demon army, and the demon army was advancing all the way, like a bamboo, even under the fifteen counties, and approached the capital of the phantom country.
Yechen will be in flames of war, all the way from the extreme north of the Phantom Country to the Chilian River in the extreme north of the Phantom Country, to Weicheng, Yongliang, Zizhangguan, Wudinghe, Tiying, Wochou Plain, and fifteen counties west of the plain......
Everywhere you go, whether you surrender or not, you will slaughter the city!
He marched into the army in several ways, divided and surrounded the fifteen counties in the southwest, broke them all, slaughtered them on a large scale, razed the cities, cleared the countryside and remote wilderness, deep cliffs and valleys, and searched all of them, so that the soldiers were slaughtered, and the people and ears were counted as merit, regardless of men, women, children, and livestock, all of them were killed, the houses were burned, and the mountains and forests were destroyed!
As a result, the place where the demon army passed, there was no trace, no dog barking, and it was all wilderness.
This bloodthirsty and ruthless general has almost developed the slaughter of the city to a peak of perfection.
His legion is also regarded as the legion of hell!
"Where is this person, it is clearly a devil released from hell!" The generals who defended the city of the Phantom Clan who were killed by him trembled under his butcher's knife, and they did not dare to look at death.
Wei Xiao sat in the prisoner car and remembered what Yechen once said: "Although I am a human race, I have a demon heart!"
He witnessed this war and turned the illusory kingdom into a human purgatory, but he couldn't do anything about it-
"Maybe God is tired of this world, so he released this devil to cleanse this world!" he could only sigh helplessly, thinking of the blood clan, the moon clan, the Meizu clan, and the shadow clan that had been trampled by Yechen's iron hooves before......
Millions of corpses, rivers of blood, heaven and earth are unkind, the general Yechen!
"Bamboo Book Fantasy in the Clouds" records:
In the year 2145 of the Yunzhong calendar, Yechen led the army of the demon clan, marched westward with iron hooves, and ordered Mu Huali to attack Menglu County and slaughter it.
The redivided troops took Linqiong County, turned to attack Helaqinghe County, and slaughtered it.
Entering the army to surround Zhongli County, the demon lord Jun Tianze has been angry for a long time, and he has a decree to slaughter it.
When the army arrived at Jiahe County, the Phantom Army was defeated, pulled out, and slaughtered its city.
Then he went to the county, resisted, and slaughtered it.
At the end of December, he broke through the county of Yancheng and slaughtered it.
The prosperity and wealth of the Phantom Kingdom fell in less than a month.
The earth is full of wolf smoke, the creatures are slaughtered, and the eyes are full of desolation.
Bamboo silk cigarettes are sold, and millions of living beings are embered.
The entire land in the clouds fell with a rare continuous seven-day heavy snowfall.
It seems that even the heavens can't bear it, and they want to bury all this suffering with heavy snow.
And Yechen's army is still like a giant sword in troubled times, without stopping, and the blade of the sword is pointed directly at Lidu.
On this day, the army was three hundred miles away from the capital city, encamped, when Yu Linlang, who guarded the capital, saw the "Chen" word banner under the city from afar, immediately Pegasus reported to the Chengguang Palace, and the court was terrified!
"What?!" In the Yilan Palace, after listening to Xu Yanda's report, the dream shadow of the national mainstream turned around from the high crystal steps, she was crowned with a phoenix, the long emperor purple drape dragged on the crystal steps, a twelve-year-old girl, a slightly immature face, with a vermilion mountain makeup on her forehead, adding a bit of majesty.
Xu Yanda's iron armor was stained with blood, and he was wounded in countless places, and knelt on the ground: "In the battle of Wuding River, General Wei used the method of Zhengqi to encircle and cooperate with General Dugu's 'backwater but moon array', which was expected to surprise the army and win more with less, and defeat the 400,000 army of the demon clan in one fell swoop, but he didn't want to be sent out by the Phantom State spies to issue the 'Tiger Talisman', and ordered the country's dark shadow to 'stab' the army, and together with the demon army, all the 120,000 Chaisang Protector Army were slaughtered, leaving no one behind!"
He knocked on the crystal ground of the hall with his head, and there was a "bang" sound, and after a while, there was blood on his forehead: "Xu Yanda was entrusted by General Wei Xiao to escape desperately, just to save a breath and report to the lord of the country and the court, in the fantasy country, there is a cunning and traitorous spy who seeks glory, if this thief is not removed, the fantasy country will perish!"
Seeing him bleeding and kowtowing to himself, all the ministers of the court could imagine the tragic battle on the front line, but he was betrayed by the internal thieves.
Liu Mengying pondered for a moment, and his eyes fell on the high priest who was sitting on the left side of the main hall: "In my country, based on the Chilian River Heavenly Danger, guarding the south of the Yangtze River, and never interacting with the demon clan, how can there be a thief-high priest, what do you think?"
Dressed in a wide red coat and with long hair like a waterfall, Phantom Ruochen sat on a hexagonal chair, a glimmer of light flashed in his phoenix eyes, and said slowly: "Have you forgotten that you once led twenty-three warriors in my country to secretly cross the Chilian River on a jujube core boat and seize the Haotian Divine Sword?"
Liu Mengying nodded slightly, only to hear him say again: "Don't you remember the little kid named Xue Qian? I want to be about the same age as the lord of the country, but I can cross the Chilian River on my own, so what's so strange about someone in my country secretly crossing Chen Cang and interacting with the demons?"
"What's more," the tall figure slowly stood up from the hexagonal chair, and his eyes swept over the ministers of the court who were kneeling on the ground one by one: "The Yechen soldiers entered the Phantom Country, advancing step by step, and some people in the court succumbed to the strong, either for survival, or for wealth, or for the high-ranking officials who sought glory for treason, maybe it!"
His phoenix eyes flashed with cold light, and all the officials felt that their hearts were swept by a sharp blade.
"But I'm a hundred officials in the court, how can I know who the thief and spy are?" said Liumengying.
Phantom Ruochen's red lips hooked, smiled slightly, and his voice was clear: "How many people can steal our country's medium-heavy weapon 'Tiger Talisman'?
He looked up at the shadow of the dream on the golden jade throne: "Although the lord of the country handed over this matter to me, the illusion is determined to be the lord of the country to find out the undercover thief!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the court and the central government secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, knowing that they were lined up outside the scope of suspicion.
"Very good!" Liu Mengying held the handrail of the golden swallow with one hand: "This matter will be handed over to the high priest!"
"It's just," she frowned slightly, and sighed heavily: "Yechen's army is advancing day by day, and the army has come to the city of Li, the national capital is in danger, and the whole country will fall, and the imperial court is now retreating to a corner, relying on the guards and Yulin cavalry can still resist for a while, but it is not a long-term solution, what is the best strategy for you Aiqing to retreat from the enemy?"
There was a sudden silence in the court.
After a long time, only one person came out of the queue tremblingly, and when he saw that someone finally spoke, he was overjoyed, and when he saw that the person was just a stargazing officer, Yu Rang, he was immediately deflated, and said lazily: "What do you have to say?"
Yu Rang knelt on the ground and said: "The minister watched the sky at night last night, the glowing star invaded the Beidou, the phantom country is about to be exhausted, and it is irretrievable, according to the minister's policy, it is better to move the capital to the southwest as soon as possible, there is Shen Yinshu, the guard of the upper valley, there is a guard in the upper valley, Shen Yinshu guards, and this disaster can be avoided!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Mengying flicked his sleeves, and the stargazer hurriedly threw himself on the ground.
"High Priest," Liumengying turned his head to look at Phantom Ruochen on the side, and said in a slightly cold voice: "The stargazer is your subordinate, could it be that you taught such words?"
Phantom Dusty Phoenix's eyes moved, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his lips: "Why is the lord of the country suspicious? Such confusing words, the minister will behead this person for the lord of the country!"
The stargazer who was lying on the ground raised his head with a look of horror on his face, and said four words: "High priest Rao ......" was cut by the purple mang, and the body was dragged out of the main hall by the two guards.
When the officials saw the high priest flicking their fingers and killing people, they were even more frightened and didn't dare to come out.
Phantom Ruochen looked at the officials, and said coldly: "The national capital is the foundation of my illusory country, and if you move, the general trend will go, from now on, all the officials will be beheaded immediately!"
The officials were silent, and they only promised.
Behind him, there was the angry voice of Mengying, the upper class of the high throne: "As soon as the night of the Zhenglan Empire arrives, I am invincible in the court, and I have lost fifteen counties in a row!" She raised her head slightly and sighed: "Although Dugu Xin sits in the southeast and does not listen to the king's orders, but when the country is in danger, he will still stand up and fight to the end, until he dies, and now that Dugu Xin has gone, the stars have fallen, and no one in my court dares to fight again?!"
Phantom Ruochen turned around and hugged his arms, his red robe brought up a ball of flames, and his head hung slightly: "The minister is willing to sponsor one person for the lord of the country, but he can stop Yechen!"
"Who?" said Liumengying.
The red sleeves of the phantom dust were spread, and his finger pointed at Xu Yanda, who was kneeling under His Royal Highness: "It's General Xu!"
"He has followed Wei Xiao for a long time, experienced three battles in Yongliang, Zitong Pass, and Wudinghe, has rich experience in the enemy, and has been taught by Wei Xiao.
"The last general is willing to accept this heavy responsibility and swear to defend Lidu to the death!" Xu Yanda replied vigorously, knocking his head on the ground, and suddenly burst into tears.
The red-clothed high priest looked at him, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his eyes seemed to look into the distance through the Chengguang Palace: "Wei Xiao, Wei Xiao, it really deserves to be the Heavenly Realm Martial God will be in the lower realm, it's a pity...... If he hadn't been betrayed by the thief, the killing god of the Zhenglan Empire, Yechen, might not have been his opponent!"
