Chapter 638 Capture

The army of Fengguozhen and the army of Ningnan's Zhengxi joined forces to attack the cities of Navia and Tulana in Besa, and the battles on both sides were extremely fierce. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The battle on the side of Navia City and the battle on the side of Turana City are completely opposite.

In the battle of Tulana City, it was easy for the Ningnan Army to break through the outer defense line of the Besa Army, but when attacking the Tulana City, it encountered fierce resistance from the Besa Army and could not be attacked for a long time.

In the battle of the Wind Army in Navia, it was difficult to break through the outer defenses, but it was easy to break through the city. It took almost no effort to break through the defenses of the city of Navia.

The reason for this is understandable.

In fact, the casualties of the Besa army were not large, and the main force still existed, but after the northern defense line was broken through, the main force of the Besa army abandoned the outer defense line and retreated to the city of Tulana. When the Ningnan army attacked the city of Tulana, it was met with resistance from the 200,000 Besa army that had no way to retreat and fought against the water, and the fierce counterattack can be imagined.

The situation of the wind army is just the opposite, when attacking the outer defense line of Navia, it was blocked by the main force of the Besa army, and when the wind army broke through the outer defense line, the main force of the Besa army has actually been eaten by the wind army, and the Besa army that retreated to the city of Navia is only the remnants of two legions, more than half of the soldiers are wounded, and how can they hold the huge Navia city by relying on them alone?

The battle on both sides, one side is bitter and then sweet, and the other is sweet and then bitter, and the actual situation is not much different.

In the end, it was the Wind Army that took the lead in breaking through the city of Navia.

The crowds of wind troops, like a tide, poured into the city of Navia along the breached northern city, and started a street battle with the Besa army. However, the next battle was no longer a large-scale engagement, just a battle of trapped beasts among the remnants of the Besa army.

The commanders of the 18th and 19th legions of the Besa army, one was killed in battle, the other fled, the two legions, the army of 200,000 people, most of them were annihilated, and the remnants of the Besa army who fled with the commander were less than 40,000.

The casualties on the side of the wind army were not small, and after this fierce battle, 80,000 soldiers were killed or seriously wounded, and the commander of the corps alone killed three of them. In addition to the Third Army Corps, which was in the rear sweeping formation, the other three corps suffered heavy casualties.

If it was before, after taking a city at such a great price, Shangguan Xiu's first order must have been to slaughter the city, but not long ago, the lesson of Ostown made him not do so.

Navia City is the city of Besa, but it is also the city of the Solan city-state, and the Solan city-state and the city-state of Besa are not compatible, and the fact that the Solan city-state did not reinforce Navia and Tulana is enough to explain the relationship between the two city-states.

If the Wind Army slaughtered the city of Navia, it would be tantamount to pushing the powerful city-state of Solan to the side of the city-state of Besa. The same mistake Shangguan Xiu will only make once.

In the city, only sporadic battles remained, and the Wind Army had basically controlled the entire city. Inside and outside the city lord's mansion, there are all wind troops, ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the soldiers and armor are numerous, and the atmosphere of slaughter is strong.

Now, the officials of Navia are all under house arrest in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion by the Wind Army, and the people's faces are pale, and they all have expressions of mourning and imminent disaster.

Looking at the murderous wind army standing around, many officials were so frightened that their bodies trembled, and one of them whispered in a trembling voice: "The eighteenth army and the nineteenth army have been beaten away by the wind army, and next, the wind army, the wind army is afraid that the city will be slaughtered......"

Hearing this, people's faces became even more ugly. The Wind Army is murderous, that is no longer a rumor, but an open fact, in Nashikya, in Gabul, the Wind Army has done the slaughter of the city. For the Bessa, the Wind Army is simply a bunch of devils.

When the officials were frightened, there were bursts of footsteps outside the hall, and then, a group of generals of the Wind Army walked in from outside, and few of the people's bodies were clean, most of them were bloodstained.

A young man in his early twenties, dressed in a silver brocade robe, but the brocade robe was torn in many places and stained with blood, and he opened his arms to reveal the strong chest muscles inside. In his hand, he was also carrying a Mo knife dripping with blood.

This young man is Shangguan Xiu. Seeing such a group of Fengjun generals coming in, the officials present were even more frightened, and they knelt on the ground one after another, begging for mercy one after another: "Your Excellency!

Even if Shangguan Xiu didn't understand the Besa Army, he knew what they were talking about just by looking at their actions. The corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes wandered, and he looked at a middle-aged man standing straight in the crowd, everyone around him was kneeling down and begging for mercy, and he was the only one standing straight, standing out from the crowd.

Shangguan Xiu slowly raised the knife in his hand, pointed the tip of the knife at the middle-aged man, and asked, "You, why don't you kneel?" A dark flag officer translated Shangguan Xiu's words into Besa.

The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Shangguan Xiu's scrutinizing gaze, and he said proudly: "As the city lord, I can kneel to the Pope, I can kneel to His Majesty the King, I can kneel to the lord, but I will never kneel to the wind and wait for you!"

When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he laughed on his back, carried a Mo knife, and walked towards the middle-aged man step by step. At the same time, a Shadow Banner officer jumped out to his left and right, walked quickly to the middle-aged man, and dragged him out of the crowd.

The two of them stepped out together and kicked the middle-aged man's knees, and the middle-aged man's legs bent and involuntarily knelt on the ground with a pop. He struggled to get to his feet, but two Shadow Banner officers pressed him the shoulders and pinned him to the ground.

Standing in front of him, Shangguan Xiu lowered his eyes and looked down at the middle-aged man, slapped the middle-aged man's cheek with the knife face of the Mo knife, sneered, and said: "As the city lord, do you know what the price of your disrespectful remarks is now? Not only will you lose your life, but the people in the city will also lose their lives because of your relationship!"

The middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, he raised his head, and looked at Shangguan Xiu in a daze. At this moment, a young man stood up, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, and said in fluent style: "I apologize to my lord for my father's disrespect just now!"

Seeing him get up suddenly, two Shadow Banner personnel immediately walked towards him, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, stopped his subordinates, and turned his eyes to look at the young man.

Looking him up and down, the young man was in his twenties, of medium stature, and of a mediocre appearance, listening to him, he should be the son of the city lord.

"Do you know how to talk in the wind?"

"The villain has lived in the Wind County of the Wind Country for three years!"

"Oh?" Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"Matt Carano. "The young man bowed to Shangguanxiu with the etiquette of the wind country. Then, he said with a straight face: "The wind army broke the city, this is a victory for the adults, and if the wind army slaughters the city, it will be a crushing defeat for the adults!"

The middle-aged man frowned, couldn't help but look back at the young man, glared at him, and motioned for him not to talk nonsense here.

He is the lord of the city, and he should live and die with the city, and now that the city is broken, it is natural for him to die for the country, but his son does not need to do so.

Matt didn't seem to see his father's warning eyes, and continued: "Once the adults slaughter the city, it will only make the Besa country lose a city, but a city like Navia, there are more than a hundred Besa in the whole country, and the loss of Navia will not hurt the bones, but for the Solan city-state, Navia is one of the main towns in the territory, and the slaughter of the city by the adults will inevitably suffer from the retaliation of the Solan city-state." Maybe the adults don't take the 100,000 soldiers of the Solan city-state in their eyes at all, but judging from the current situation, more than 100,000 enemies and less than 100,000 enemies are very important to the adults and the wind army. ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled when he heard this, and asked curiously, "What's the most important thing?"

Matt said: "The Lord sent troops to Navia, in order to cut off the supply line linking Dookie, the supply line was broken, and the millions of soldiers who went deep into Dooky to fight became a lone army, and they were bound to send troops to rescue, at that time, the Wind Army will have to face the counterattack of the Royal Court's army, if there are still 100,000 city-state troops behind them, then the Wind Army will be in a situation where the enemy is on the back of the enemy, and the Lord thinks, how can the Wind Army fight this battle?"

What he said was exactly what Shangguan Xiu was worried about. However, Matt was only an official in Navia City, but he was able to see the entire battle situation so thoroughly, which surprised Shangguan Xiu. He blinked, his gaze fell back on the middle-aged man, and said with a sneer: "The people of Navia City, I can let it go, but Ling Zun's words are disrespectful, I must not spare it!" As he spoke, he slowly raised the Mo knife in his hand and made a posture of slashing downward.

Matt's face changed, and he subconsciously took a step forward. As soon as he moved, the wind army around him swarmed up, pulled his shoulders and backs, and pinned him to the ground. "No adults!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and waved his hand to the soldiers who were holding Matt. Then, he looked at Matt with a smile and asked, "Why not?"

"My father has been an official in Navia City for many years, and he has won the respect and love of the people in the city, and he has also won the respect of the lord, if the lord kills his father today, he will not only have a bad relationship with the lord, but also will inevitably arouse the resistance of the people in the city, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

Shangguan Xiu could hear that he was exaggerating, but he also admired his eloquence and quick reflexes.

He chuckled twice, put down the raised Mo knife, glanced down at the middle-aged man, and said slowly: "Lord City, it was your son who saved you!"

He didn't want to kill him, and captured Navia, not to occupy this place, but to cut off the supply line of the royal court army of Besa, and the wind army may withdraw at any time, during this period, he needs the assistance of the city lord to help the wind army and pacify the people in the city, so as not to cause turmoil.

The middle-aged man looked at Shangguan Xiu, and then looked at his son, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. He has never paid much attention to his son, and he couldn't imagine that at the critical moment, he could persuade Fengren in a few words to save himself and the people in the city.

Shangguan Xiu glanced at the middle-aged man, and said: "City Lord, if you want to ensure the safety of the people in the city, go and pacify the people, as long as the people are not enemies of our Feng Army, our Feng Army will not kill innocents indiscriminately in the city!"
