Chapter 725: Surrender

After the Heavenly Divine Sect's troops occupied the eastern part of the city, they saw that the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers were crowded under the city wall, and the imperial army in the distance did not sneak attack the Holy Lotus Sect troops outside the city, although they did not know what was going on, they mercilessly shot and fired arrows at the crowd of Holy Lotus Sect soldiers outside the city.

After the Holy Lotus Sect army was forced out of the city by the Heavenly Divine Sect army in the city, he saw that there was a Heavenly Divine Sect army in front of him and a court army in the back, which made him fall into a dilemma.

And just when the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect were in a dilemma, they suddenly saw the soldiers of the Heavenly Divine Sect on the city wall and in the city shooting and firing arrows at them, and they were shocked, and the crowd instantly became chaotic, shooting and firing arrows at the Heavenly Divine Sect while fleeing towards the outside of the city.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Divine Sect in the city gradually ran out of the city while shooting and firing arrows at the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers outside the city, and when they pursued them head-on, they also gradually ran out of the city, and they wanted to wipe out the Holy Lotus Sect army outside the city in one go, but they were afraid of the imperial army outside the city.

The soldiers of the Heavenly Divine Sect on the city wall continued to shoot and fire arrows at the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers outside the city, and only stopped shooting and firing arrows until the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers ran out of range.

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect panicked and ran out of the attack range of the Heavenly Divine Sect army in the east of the city, but immediately after that, they realized that there was another more terrifying army in front of them, and they were watching them fiercely.

And just when every soldier of the Holy Lotus Sect thought that they were about to encounter misfortune or even annihilation, they were pleasantly surprised to find that since they escaped from the city, the imperial army did not shoot at themselves, let alone shoot arrows at themselves, they were surprised and delighted, and wondered why the imperial army did not kill themselves?

I saw that this group of Holy Lotus Sect troops was sandwiched between the Heavenly Divine Sect army in the east of the city and the imperial army outside the city, although it was far away from the east of the city, and unknowingly, it had already entered the range of the imperial army's artillery and muskets.

Although the Holy Lotus Sect army in the east of the city suffered a heavy blow from both armies, and the number of casualties was uncountable, the surviving Holy Lotus Sect army still had as many as 100,000 people.

Originally, the Holy Lotus Sect's army had a million people, but after many bloody battles with the imperial army, it gradually became less than a million.

Now, after the Holy Lotus Sect experienced the battle between the Heavenly Divine Sect army and the imperial court army, the number of people has also decreased significantly, and it is only 500,000 when it is full.

These soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect outside the city didn't know if their Holy Lotus Sect had lost Xiangcheng, let alone what happened to the Holy Lotus Sect troops in other places, and they saw that the eastern part of the city had been occupied by the Heavenly Divine Sect, and they suspected that Xiangcheng had been occupied by the Heavenly Divine Sect.

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect never imagined that they had occupied Xiangcheng for less than a year, and now they were occupied by the Heavenly Divine Sect again, and this time they had suffered extremely heavy losses, and they no longer had the strength to fight against the Heavenly Divine Sect.

These Holy Lotus Sect soldiers now don't know where their large army is, nor do they know where they should go now, as if they have become lost lambs, and no one has shown them a path.

What these Holy Lotus Sect soldiers never expected was that their large army was now crowded in the north of the city, fighting bloodily against the mighty Heavenly Divine Sect army in the city.

Since everyone was in the east of the city, far away from the north of the city, they could only hear the earth-shattering sound of fire in the distance, but they didn't know what was going on.

Although the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect in the east of the city did not know the current battle situation, the Heavenly Divine Sect in the east of the city knew that the Holy Lotus Sect army had gone and was no longer able to return to the sky.

Xu Yang watched these Holy Lotus Sect soldiers retreat from the east of the city in defeat, standing in the center of the two armies at a loss, and after thinking about it, he had the idea of disbanding these Holy Lotus Sect soldiers on the spot.

Xu Yang told his inner thoughts to the generals around him, and after obtaining the unanimous consent of everyone, he shouted to the Holy Lotus Sect army in front: "Holy Lotus Sect soldiers, you have lost Xiangcheng now, and you no longer have the strength to fight against the Heavenly Divine Sect, it is better to disarm and surrender, otherwise your lives will definitely be lost, how about it?"

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect, when they were now not sure where to go, suddenly heard Xu Yang's voice from the imperial army, and the crowd was in an uproar in an instant, and there were many discussions, some soldiers had even thrown their weapons out, while some soldiers were hesitant.

The Heavenly Divine Sect army in the east of the city was stunned for a moment when they heard the words of the Holy Lotus Sect army disarming and surrendering from the imperial army outside the city, and then they saw that when the Holy Lotus Sect army was talking about it, some soldiers threw away their weapons.

Some of the leaders of these Holy Lotus Sect soldiers, when they were thinking wildly, saw that some soldiers began to throw away their weapons, they were furious, and when they were about to reprimand each other sharply, they thought that they were now gone, and the Holy Lotus Sect was powerless to return to Xiangcheng.

As a result, the leaders of the Holy Lotus Sect's army remained silent, as if they had acquiesced in the surrender of the soldiers, and no one said anything.

As a result, I saw that the loss of weapons in the Holy Lotus Sect army seemed to have caused a chain reaction, and it continued to spread among the Holy Lotus Sect army, and gradually I saw that one-third of the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers were already barehanded, and all kinds of weapons like hills were discarded in front of the army.

Xu Yang saw that some of the Holy Lotus Sect troops had already given up resistance, but half of the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers were still holding weapons and hesitated.

Xu Yang thought about it, knowing that these soldiers who were unwilling to give up their weapons were nothing more than worried that after they surrendered, they would be chased and killed by the imperial army or the army of the Heavenly God Sect.

"Holy Lotus Sect soldiers, as long as you are willing to disarm and surrender, I guarantee that you will be able to leave Xiangcheng safely, and I will never hunt you down. Xu Yang assured.

Those soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect who were hesitating, when they heard Xu Yang say this, looked at each other, and invariably looked at their leader, asking the leader to make a decision for themselves.

These leaders walked out of the Holy Lotus Sect army, came to the front of the army, and said one by one, "Sect Master Xu's prestige, we are naturally like thunder. It's just that what does Sect Leader Xu use to ensure that after we disarm and surrender, we can leave Xiangcheng safely?"

"Presumably, you have also heard a little about the defeat of your Holy Lotus Sect in Tianjing City, right? Don't worry, I Xu Yang will do what he says, and I will never be untrustworthy. You are now cornered, and there is no way out, and the only way out is to disarm and surrender. Otherwise, you will definitely die in Xiangcheng. Anyway, I've said everything I need to say, whether to surrender or not, you can choose for yourself. Xu Yang said.

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect naturally knew the results of the battle of some of their soldiers in Tianjing City, and knew that the soldiers who surrendered had finally left Tianjing City safely.

The generals of the Holy Lotus Sect army, seeing that they had no choice and no choice, couldn't help but acquiesce in surrendering.

Those Holy Lotus Sect soldiers who did not lose their weapons, seeing that the leader in front of them was silent, helplessly threw the weapons in their hands forward, and the defeat was like a mountain, and suddenly the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers threw their weapons out one after another.

And these leaders of the Holy Lotus Sect naturally couldn't say surrender to their soldiers, so they could only agree with silence, but their hearts were extremely painful, and they didn't expect the Holy Lotus Sect to lose so miserably.

Everyone in the Holy Lotus Sect also saw that after the thirteen Taibao in their sect died one after another, coupled with the successive defeats, their sect had come to an end, and they were already extremely fortunate to have survived until now.

Gradually, all the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect threw their weapons in front of the army, remained silent, and then walked towards the distance in groups of three or five, scattering without coaxing, and discarding the emblem of the Holy Lotus Sect on their bodies along the way.

And when the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect returned to their hometown in groups of three or five, they watched every move of the imperial army and the Heavenly Kingdom Divine Sect in the east of the city from time to time to prevent the two armies from suddenly killing him.

The soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect knew that the imperial army had promised not to pursue and kill them, but the Heavenly Divine Sect had not said such a thing.

Therefore, when the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect left in all directions outside the city, they were paying attention to the actions of the Heavenly Divine Sect army to prevent them from encountering accidents before they left Xiangcheng.

And when the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect were happy, they left from the outside of the city in groups of three or five, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Divine Sect in the east of the city did not go out of the city to chase and kill them, they were overjoyed, and they wanted to leave Xiangcheng as soon as possible.

I saw the soldiers of the Holy Lotus Sect in the east of the city, scattering in groups in all directions, returning to their respective hometowns.

As a result, there was no longer a single soldier of the Holy Lotus Sect in the eastern part of the city, which made the eastern part of the city a place where the Heavenly Divine Sect and the imperial army played against each other.

From the defeat of the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers in the east of the city and their retreat from the outside of the city, until they were persuaded by Xu Yang to disarm and surrender, until all the Holy Lotus Sect soldiers left, a day and a night had passed.

And the three-way battle has been fought so far, and twelve days have quietly passed.

While the eastern, western, and southern parts of the city fell into silence, fierce battles broke out in the north of the city.

At this moment, the Holy Lotus Sect's army already had more than 300,000 troops left in Xiangcheng, while the Heavenly Divine Sect had 780,000 troops.

When the Holy Lotus Sect army was guarding the north of the city and fighting bloody battles with the mighty Heavenly Divine Sect in the city, they did not expect that the Holy Lotus Sect army in the east of the city had already surrendered, and the Holy Lotus Sect army on its own side was left in Xiangcheng to fight hard in the north of the city.

Xu Yang saw that the Holy Lotus Sect army in the east of the city had retreated, and the east of the city had become the territory of the Heavenly Divine Sect, so he didn't know how long the Holy Lotus Sect army in the north of the city would be able to fight against the Heavenly Divine Sect?

"General Xu, now the Heavenly Kingdom Divine Sect has occupied the east, west, and south of Xiangcheng, and the north of the city is probably about to be occupied. What should our army do now?"

"I think it won't be long before the Heavenly Divine Sect will completely occupy Xiangcheng. And our army is about to face the rebel army of the Cult of the Heavenly Kingdom. ”

"I hope that the Holy Lotus Sect army in the north of the city can stalemate with the Heavenly Divine Sect for a while, and it is best to kill some more soldiers of the Heavenly Divine Sect, so as to reduce the pressure on our army against the enemy in the future. ”

Xu Yang listened to the words of the generals around him, and he didn't know if his plan could be implemented smoothly, and once there was an unexpected change, the Holy Lotus Sect army did not have some poisonous plans, so everything he did would be in vain.
