Chapter 622: Closing the Capital
A pair of frightened eyes stared at the murderous Tenshofu Catch, and their movements were instantly frozen. Frightened backwards, but did not forget to hold the belongings he had snatched in his hands.
Ning Yue slowly walked towards this group of people who could only be called a mob, with a strong killing intent in her eyes. The defenders slowly retreated, and finally, a burly man broke free from fear and his eyes regained clarity.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Brothers of the Tenshogunate...... We...... We're not Daredevil rebels...... We are the defenders...... We are the defenders of Jiyuan County......" Dahan hurriedly shouted, and his voice also woke up the defenders who were in fear behind him.
"Defenders, Jiyuan County is such a small county...... How can there be defenders?" Ning Yue knew that they were defenders, but said with a sneer pretending not to know. At this moment, Ning Yue also had to admire Gongzi Yu.
At this critical juncture, when the danger was to the life and death of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could still think of the military and political reform that the Great Zhou had delayed for forty years.
According to the plan formulated by Emperor Rongren that year, the next step should be to replace the defenders with the forbidden army, and gradually dismiss the defenders from all over the country to return to their hometowns. However, this step is very difficult to deal with.
The defenders are accustomed to living a life of laziness and uncle, so how can they be willing to let them go? Not to mention the expensive severance pay, I am afraid that the defenders in various places will directly mutini and cause turmoil in Kyushu. But this time, Gongzi Yu actually planned to use the Daredevil Army rebellion to directly withdraw these defenders who were full of wine bags and rice bags once and for all.
Along the way, the Daredevil army was able to take city after city with little effort, but most of the defenders of these cities, except for a few forbidden troops, were assembled from all over the world.
It wasn't even until the Daredevil Army reached the gates of the city that they realized that this time the garrison was really going to fight! The Daredevil didn't care who they defeated, they only knew that if they took the city, they would be one step closer to their target capital.
Gongziyu didn't care who they were defeated, as long as they were defeated, then that army could be removed. The fall of a city announces the disappearance of a defender. Therefore, Ning Yue felt so ridiculous when she heard the other party ask why.
Because the moment they were captured, their uniforms had been stripped off, and they had lost their rights and glory as soldiers.
"We ...... We were originally stationed in the Valley of the West Wind in Lizhou, and we were transferred here three days ago...... But...... We didn't expect to really have to fight! As soon as we stood firm in Jiyuan County, we saw the people evacuate, and at that time we also asked the forbidden army if they were going to fight, but ...... The bastards said it was a military exercise......
Isn't this a trap for us? When the people have all evacuated, even the forbidden army has withdrawn. Not a day later, the Daredevil Rebellion arrived. At first, we thought it was a military exercise...... Who knew they were really coming? And then we were captured......
You don't know, my lord, the Daredevil is not human...... We had eaten military rations together before, and we were friendly soldiers in the past, not to mention treating our prisoners well, and simply calling us like pigs and dogs! Fortunately, you came, and if it was a few days late, you would have to collect the corpses for us......
Listening to their cries, Ning Yue's brows inadvertently furrowed again. Not because of sympathy for the defenders, but because they didn't even come to their senses now? Ning Yue didn't speak, and gently raised her hand to point to the thing in his arms.
"Oh, I understand, we only need to do three of these trophies, and the rest belongs to the brothers of the Tenshogunate. The Daredevil's rebellion brought a lot of supplies, and it was enough for the brothers to live happily for ten years......"
"First, this is a strategic military quartermaster, not a trophy!Second, don't say three percent, half of you don't have one!" Ning Yue didn't speak, but the remnant knife on the side was already dark.
The defenders on the opposite side turned pale and were about to shout, but before the sound could be made, they instantly stopped. Because at the moment when the words of the remnant knife fell, the tens of thousands of heavenly shogunates quickly and uniformly supported the lotus handle knife. At that moment, the momentum soared into the sky and shook the world.
"Down—" shouted in unison like a huge thunder in the sky, and tens of thousands of defenders trembled with fright from this sound. There are even many people who can't grasp the things in their hands and fall to the ground.
After only a moment's hesitation, the defenders put down their belongings one after another. Although his face was full of nonsense, he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Ning Yue slowly paced in front of the defenders and cast a contemptuous look, "Don't feel wronged, from the moment you were captured by the Night Demon Army, you are no longer my soldiers of the Great Zhou." Your number has been revoked, and you have been wiped out. Now you ...... Just ordinary people. ”
"What?" As soon as the words fell, the defenders were dumbfounded. They also knew in their hearts that their defenders were no longer taken seriously in the military department, and it was not a day or two before the top brass of the military department wanted to lay off the defenders.
The reason why they are spending here is that they hope to make a good severance pay when the imperial court is disarmed. But now...... The defenders could not accept it, let alone accept it.
"How can this be? What about our military salaries? What about our severance pay? We have been soldiers for more than 10 years, and we are counted according to the number of years......
"It's gone!" Ning Yue coldly said the terrifying reality for them, "From the moment you were captured, everything promised by the imperial court was gone. You didn't die in battle and chose to surrender, and the court didn't deal with you martialally, and you have done your best to do your duty, and you still want to be compensated?
You are ordinary people now, and Jiyuan County is a military stronghold at the moment. Don't stay or wait, get out of here!"
"Your Excellency, you can't do this...... We ......"
"Get out!" the Tenshofu shouted in unison, as if a thunderclap exploded in everyone's hearts. They trembled one after another, and their unwilling eyes turned into fear. Finally, under the pressure of the momentum of the Tenshogunate, tens of thousands of defenders began to evacuate, and they did not take a piece of armor with them, let alone a single weapon.
Watching tens of thousands of defenders leave, Ning Yue's eyes flashed with Dao essence. The defenders are a hidden danger, and if they are unwilling to fall into the grass, it will also be a great threat to the court and the people.
However, a major war is about to break out in Jiyuan County, and this group of unstable factors must be eliminated immediately. Even if this group of people might cause trouble to the imperial court in the future, Ning Yue had to do so at the moment.
Retracting his mind, Ning Yue waved his big hand, and the Heavenly Shogunate behind him quickly dispersed and acted in an instant. Gathering materials and taking over the defense of the sentry posts everywhere, in less than an hour, the entire Jiyuan County once again fell into a dead silence. However, at this moment, Jiyuan County is incomparable with the previous Jiyuan County, and Jiyuan County, which is under the garrison of the Tenshogunate, has become a strong fortress.
The snow was still falling, and a fierce battle was going on at the gate of Fengdu City in the distance. The 200,000 Night Demon Army carried out a fierce bombardment of the Fengdu Mansion, and the artillery above the Fengdu Mansion also bombarded the Night Demon Army without showing weakness.
This is the last checkpoint for leaving the state to enter Zhongzhou, as long as Fengdu City is broken, Zhongzhou is like a stripped yellow flower girl who is driven straight into by the night demon army.
It was getting dark, and the snow didn't seem to stop. It's not cold when it snows, but once the snow stops, the temperature plummets again. So this snow almost blocked the Daredevil Army's retreat.
Only by breaking through Fengdu City, but also by attacking Fengdu City. The Daredevil cannot rest in the snow, let alone camp in the snow and ice. Attacking Fengdu, they can win or live, and if they can't enter Fengdu City, the Daredevil Army can only retreat and wait until the snow melts before fighting.
By this time, it was too late. Mo Junxie will not allow the court to breathe, let alone allow victory to slip through his fingers in sight. However, the resistance in Fengdu City was so fierce that the Daredevil Army and Fengdu City were within range of each other.
Now the only one who can't hold on to the competition first!
The Xuanyin Sect Master looked coldly at the tall city wall in front of him, his clenched fists trembling uncontrollably. Because he saw the two people on the city wall, Qianduxue who was dressed in white and Shengxue, and Ziyu Zhenren who was dressed in a purple robe.
With them in Fengdu City, the Xuanyin Sect Master could no longer smash the defenses of Fengdu City with one punch like before. And what made him even more jealous was that Ning Yue didn't show up. However, with his understanding of Ning Yue, Qian Duxue is here, and Ning Yue must also be here.
Himself and the Water Moon Palace Master fought against three martial arts masters, although it was a little difficult, but it should not be an opponent. However, what he lacks is time, and the court lacks time even more. The Xuanyin Sect Master silently raised his head, looking at Tianshi, his face was anxious again.
It's getting dark, you must take Fengdu City before it gets dark!The Xuanyin Sect Master's thoughts just flowed through the bottom of his heart, and he slowly turned his face to look at the Water Moon Palace Lord beside him.
"Senior sister, this is the first fierce battle we have experienced, and it will be the last!
"Got it, senior brother, don't worry!"
The words landed, and the two suddenly rushed into the sky. Dancing like an immortal in the snow. Snowflakes are flying, and I don't know if it's the sky crying or the vision of heaven and earth triggered by the twilight snow. When the Xuanyin Sect Master and the Water Moon Palace Lord rushed towards the Fengdu City Gate. The Thousand Dusk Snow and Purple Jade True Persons on the city wall also instantly rose to the sky, welcoming the Xuanyin Sect Master and the Water Moon Palace Master.
"Boom-" Without warning, two divine soul phantoms that stood up to the sky and the earth suddenly appeared. The Divine Soul Phantom Treasure of the Purple Jade True Person is dignified and restrained by the stars, as if it contains all things in heaven and earth.
Although the Purple Jade True Soul Phantom was so gorgeous and sacred, it was much smaller than that of the Xuanyin Sect Master. The Xuanyin Sect Master's Divine Soul Phantom exuded a thick black aura, as if it was covering the entire sky.
The moment the two Divine Soul Phantoms appeared, the fierce confrontation suddenly rose. The seven-star sword qi merged fiercely with the fist of the Xuanyin Sect Master. In an instant, the endless aftermath spread rapidly to all directions like a steambag rising from the earth.
