Chapter 634: Reaction
Kill, kill, kill!
In the midst of the excited shouts of killing, more than a thousand of Wei Hai's personal guards waved the scimitars in their hands, followed closely behind Wei Hai, and rushed towards Yang Rui's side, their eyes flashing with excitement and expectation.
"Kill them all!"
Looking at Wei Hai and his more than 1,000 personal guards who were approaching quickly, Yang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and he ordered loudly in a cold tone.
"Yes, young master!"
As soon as Yang Rui's voice fell, more than 500 Yang Rui's personal guards roared angrily, urging the war horses under him, holding long knives, and directly greeted Wei Hai and his more than 1,000 personal guards.
"Meteor Knife Technique!"
Accompanied by the shouts of Yang Rui's personal guards, Yang Rui's more than 500 personal guards mobilized the internal strength in their bodies one after another, and used the meteor knife, the long knife in their hands, with a sharp edge, slashed through the void like lightning, and slashed straight towards Wei Hai and more than 1,000 of his personal guards.
Bang! Bang!
In the crisp sound of metal collision, the long knife in the hands of Yang Rui's five hundred guards collided with the weapons of Wei Hai and his guards, stirring up bright sparks, and a terrifying force burst out from the long knives of Yang Rui's five hundred guards, directly knocking the weapons in the hands of Wei Hai's guards away, and slashing through his body without diminishing, directly cutting it into two, causing blood to splash and die on the spot.
Only Wei Hai, a tenth-order warrior, blocked the long knife attack of Yang Rui's personal guards, and more than 400 Wei Hai's personal guards all died tragically on the spot.
"This can't be! Why are you so many guards of ninth-order warriors!"
Seeing this scene, a look of horror flashed in Wei Hai's eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim loudly, he couldn't believe the facts in front of him at all.
He didn't expect that Yang Rui, the leader of the civilian army, actually had the personal guard of a five-hundred-nine-order warrior, which was completely beyond his belief, and made him very shocked and incredible.
"Nothing is impossible, you go and die!"
Hearing Wei Hai's exclamation, Yang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and with a light snort, he urged the war horse under him, turning into a whirlwind and quickly approaching Wei Hai's side.
"Yang Rui, I'm going to kill you!"
Hearing Yang Rui's words, after seeing his movements, Wei Hai's eyes flashed with fierce light, he roared angrily, his body surged with strength, and the scimitar in his hand slashed towards Yang Rui's body with an incomparably sharp edge.
"Ninefold Thunder Knife!"
In Yang Rui's soft shout, Yang Rui's body surged with energy, and the long knife in his hand flashed, with a sharp edge, it collided with the scimitar in Wei Hai's hand, directly cutting Wei Hai's scimitar, and slashing through Wei Hai's waist and chest without abating, and in his horrified gaze, his body was cut in two, causing blood to splash, and he died tragically on the spot.
"The Commander is dead, let's go up together to avenge the Commander!"
"The Commander is dead, let's run away!"
"The Commander is dead, which of us is still Yang Rui's opponent, hurry up and run for your life!"
“、、、、、”
Seeing that Wei Hai was killed by Yang Rui with a knife, the remaining more than 500 Wei Hai's personal guards changed their faces greatly, and a small number of people showed a fierce light in their eyes, brandishing scimitars, and killed Yang Rui, wanting to avenge Wei, most of them directly dispersed and fled around.
"Look for death!"
Looking at the more than ten Wei Hai guards who came back to him, Yang Rui snorted lightly, the strength in his body surged, and the long knife in his hand waved out, with a sharp edge, like thunder, slashing through the bodies of more than ten Wei Hai guards, and directly killing them on the spot.
At the same time, Yang Rui's five hundred guards urged the war horses under him, caught up with one of Wei Hai's guards who had escaped, and killed them one by one, turning them into a mutilated corpse.
The death of Wei Hai and his personal guards made the already scattered grassland cavalry and grassland warriors completely dissipate their fighting spirit, and they fled frantically outside the city, not daring to fight with the Yang family army and the grassland slaves.
Seeing this scene, Yang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and he asked the grassland slaves and the Yang family army to hunt down and surrender those grassland cavalry and grassland warriors, and completely expel them from Crescent Moon City.
In the evening, the battle of Crescent City came to an end, and the Yang family army and grassland slaves under Yang Rui's command completely controlled Crescent City, making it in Yang Rui's hands.
In this battle, Wei Hai, the grassland cavalry of Crescent City, dozens of grassland tribe leaders were killed, and the rest generally fled from Crescent City with the remnants and disappeared.
In addition, more than 80,000 grassland cavalry were killed, more than 30,000 were surrendered, more than 30,000 escaped, and more than 200,000 grassland soldiers were killed, more than 120,000 were surrendered, and more than 100,000 escaped.
At this time, Yang Rui had a total of more than 150,000 grassland soldiers in his hands, who were temporarily imprisoned in the big camp in the city, and were guarded by the grassland slave soldiers.
However, the 150,000 grassland troops have always been a huge hidden danger, so after controlling all the wealth of Crescent City and Crescent City, Yang Rui picked out the medicinal materials of the Spirit Devouring Pill from them, and began to use the alchemy furnace captured from the grassland army to frantically refine the Spirit Devouring Pill.
After all, as long as 150,000 devouring elixirs are refined, and all the more than 150,000 grassland soldiers are transformed into grassland slave soldiers, so that they are loyal to him, Yang Rui can directly have an extra 150,000 loyal and unafraid of death.
When Yang Rui was concentrating on alchemy, the news that Crescent City was captured by Yang Rui spread in all directions like a hurricane, which surprised the people and nobles of Zhao State, as well as the people and nobles of the grassland, who heard the news, and discussed it one after another.
Among them, the nobles of the people of Zhao, especially the people and nobles of the neighboring grassland, were excited, knowing that the grassland army was about to be finished and their side was about to win!
The people and nobles of the steppe were furious, and began to frantically collect wealth, food and other materials in the occupied areas, preparing to evacuate the territory of Zhao at any time and return to the grassland.
"It's amazing that Yang Rui actually captured Crescent Moon City! Pass on my order, let our Zhao army's army keep an eye on the grassland army, and don't let the grassland army divide its troops to go to Crescent City! Also, send an envoy to tell the grassland king to withdraw from our Zhao country's territory within a month, otherwise I will immediately launch a full-scale counterattack and annihilate the grassland army in the territory of Sunset County!"
After getting the news that Yang Rui had captured Crescent City, Zhao Kun, the county guard of Sunset County, flashed a look of ecstasy in his eyes, and said loudly with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Lord Gunjo!"
Hearing Zhao Kun's words, his chief of staff, Xu Ming, immediately responded softly, and quickly handed over to one of his subordinates to convey Zhao Kun's order.
"Lord County Guard, Yang Rui has captured Crescent Moon City, what should I do with your promise to Yang Rui?"
Xu Ming asked softly to Zhao Kun, who was full of excitement.
"Since Yang Rui has captured Crescent City, of course I must keep my promise, report Yang Rui's merits, and ask Your Majesty to canonize Yang Rui as the Viscount of the Empire, and give Yinghe Town to him as a fief!" Zhao Kun responded without hesitation.
"Lord County Guard, it has been a long time since our Zhao Kingdom canonized nobles to confer fiefdoms! This time in the war with the grassland, many imperial magnates have sent family disciples to participate, just to get a piece of the pie in this war, obtain the title of nobles and give fiefdoms, among which there are some big families, even the county guards must be careful to deal with!
If Lord County Shou counted all the merits of capturing Crescent City on Yang Rui alone, it would indeed allow Yang Rui to obtain the title of Viscount of the Empire and the fief of Yinghe Town, but it would block the way of many powerful children and affect the relationship between Lord County Shou and many powerful people!
With my suggestion, it is better to divide Yang Rui's achievements in capturing Crescent City to some powerful disciples, so that they can use their merits to obtain titles and fiefs.
In this way, Lord County Shou can obtain the friendship of these powerful people, so that Lord County Shou's rights are more stable, and even have the opportunity to compete for the position of the next head of the Zhao family!
And although Yang Rui can't become an imperial viscount, he can also become an imperial baron and obtain a fief with a large area! I remember that the Donglai Peninsula is still the territory of our Zhao State in the territory of the empire, and its area is more than ten times larger than that of our Sunset County.
Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Xu Ming persuaded softly.
"Only Donglai City on the Donglai Peninsula is still the territory of the empire, and other places have long been occupied by forces such as aliens and pirates, isn't it too much to give the Donglai Peninsula to Yang Rui!" Zhao Kun said with some hesitation.
"It's not too much at all! The area of the Donglai Peninsula is so big, it is comparable to a dukedom, and giving it to Yang Rui is completely a preference for him, what's too much!" Xu Ming said softly.
Hearing Xu Ming's words, Zhao Kun pondered for a while and said: "The Donglai Peninsula is indeed good, it has great development prospects, give it to Yang Rui, Your Majesty will definitely agree, and Yang Rui should also be satisfied! If Yang Rui is not satisfied, then it can only mean that he is unkind and has lived up to my expectations of him!"
"What? Zhao Kun dared to talk to me like this, did he want to find death? Send my order, the army will attack the city with all its might, and capture Sunset City for me, I will fire Zhao Kun!"
After listening to the words of the messenger of Sunset City, the Prairie King shouted with a fierce light in his eyes and a face full of anger.
"King, the Crescent Moon City has been captured by the army of Zhao State, and our grassland army has lost the supply of grain and grass weapons and equipment, and it is impossible to carry out a protracted battle! Judging from the grain and grass and other material reserves of our grassland army, it can only last for a month at most, and after a month, our grassland army will fall into a situation of no food to eat! Therefore, I hope that the king can seriously consider the matter of withdrawing troops!
At this time, our grassland army has already snatched enough materials and wealth and slaves, there is no need to continue to fight with the Zhao army here, otherwise when Zhao moves the real fire and mobilizes the elite army in the hinterland of Zhao State, it will be too late for our grassland army to leave!~ Also, according to the news from our grassland immortals, Zhao Guo dispatched a Jindan late stage monk to defeat the strongest of our grassland, so that our grassland immortals had to withdraw from Zhao country!
In other words, we don't have the support of the grassland immortals now, and if we continue to stay in the territory of Zhao State, we are likely to be blocked by the monks of Zhao State, and then our grassland army will be finished!"
Hearing the Prairie King's words, an old man beside him persuaded softly.
"Our Grassland Immortal was defeated by the Jindan Monk of Zhao Kingdom?" asked the Grassland King with a look of shock on his face.
"That's right! Just yesterday, the Shangxian of our grassland was swept away by the new Jindan late stage monk of Zhao State, if it weren't for the Yuanying monk who was afraid of our grassland, that Jindan monk of Zhao State would definitely kill all the Shangxian who entered the territory of Zhao State from our grassland!" The old man beside the grassland king said helplessly.
"In that case, we can only withdraw!" said the King of the Prairie with a look of dismay, after receiving the old man's affirmative answer.
