Chapter 417: Siege and plunder

The beacon fire continues, and the wolf smoke bursts, and the sky is smoking.

Qiankun Prefecture, it has been more than three months since Ling Xiao led his generals to attack the territory of King Kun, and since March, many cities and towns have been captured, and people have come to surrender one after another, and Ling Xiao's team has been growing and becoming more and more powerful.

Qiankun Royal City, Emperor Qiankun listened to the news from all over Qiankun Prefecture every day, and kept thinking in his heart.

Many years ago, King Qian and King Kun rebelled and split the land to become kings.

After that, Emperor Qiankun only had one royal city left, and then, Emperor Qiankun's lineage was preserved.

This is also the only place where King Qiankun and King Kun maintain a tacit understanding, and what they want is not to let Emperor Qiankun's strength recover, because even if they split the land and become kings, the heritage of Qiankun King City over the years is still not to be underestimated.

After all, he used to be the well-deserved number one overlord of Qiankun Prefecture, and if Emperor Qiankun was allowed to slow down, his strength would soon grow rapidly, so King Qiankun and King Kun did not dare to take risks.

Originally, Emperor Qiankun, who was dragged by King Qiankun, was already troubled.

This is also the reason why Emperor Qiankun wants to ask Ling Xiao to retrieve many Qiankun treasures, in order to end this situation and regain royal power.

The news of Ling Xiao's army raising troops outside had reached the ears of Emperor Qiankun.

After knowing about Ling Xiao, Emperor Qiankun's face was also stunned for a moment, and then he quietly let Ling Xiao grow.

In the palace, sitting on the throne carved from gold and jade, Emperor Qiankun looked out of the door of the main hall with deep eyes, thoughtful.

......

At this time, in a town far away from the Qiankun King City, a slaughter was about to end.

The two teams were obviously soldiers of different forces, armed with weapons in their hands, and were constantly fighting, with murderous and bloody gases, accompanied by a strong smell of blood, constantly rushing into the sky.

Every minute and every moment, a soldier dies or a general falls.

The sound of the clashing and collision of weapons, the roar of unwilling to die, and even, the sound of blood spraying, made this battlefield afraid to death.

On the city wall not far away, Ling Xiao was wearing armor, angry and solemn, his eyes looked at the killing that continued to occur on the field, and his mind was constantly calculating, he looked at the bloodshed and killing in front of him, and he also stopped his kind of thought in his heart, after all, it was a battle, how could there be no casualties.

What I need to do now is to reduce this casualty to the lowest proportion.

This series of battles is just to do one thing, for that thing, these casualties, even if Ling Xiao's heart can't bear it, he has to hold on.

And beside Ling Xiao, there were a few soldiers standing with bows in their hands at this time, as well as some small soldiers who were constantly running around to deliver news.

The soldier in charge of the bow looked at the field with a serious face, and from time to time picked up the heavy bow in his hand and shot at the generals on the field, trying to kill with one blow.

However, many generals have escaped, and only a small number of people will be recruited.

After all, if a general can lead his soldiers into battle, it means that he must have something extraordinary, and his control over dangerous situations is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.

Many times, he was fighting beside Ling Xiao, and he was constantly careful of the shooter next to Ling Xiao, so as not to be killed by the long arrow if he was not careful.

These generals, fearing that they were indignant about the situation on Ling Xiao's side, did not dare to act rashly, and at the same time led their soldiers to the death, resisting the attacks of Ling Xiao's soldiers.

Because, for them, they originally lived a peaceful and quiet life, but because of Ling Xiao's idea, many relatives and friends died on the battlefield, so for them, Ling Xiao is no less than a devil!

However, Ling Xiao naturally ignored those gazes, but observed the situation carefully, and from time to time let the soldiers who were talking on the side bring down one command after another.

"It is worthy of being a city with peak strength, but it is so difficult to break!" Ling Xiao stared at the scene from time to time, and received the manuscript from time to time, his strength was indeed extremely powerful.

It seems that this method is indeed working. ”

One voice after another continued to sound, and Ling Xiao and very quickly, he settled several impulses, and there were many of them, all of which were introduced by Ling Xiao.

After knowing their betrayal, Ling Xiao did not hesitate to let his subordinates spare them.

Because, they may betray others today, and they may betray themselves tomorrow, so Ling Xiao will definitely not waste time on them.

Soon, after continuous fighting, there were many fewer soldiers on both sides at this time, but the battle continued without stopping.

Beside Ling Xiao, the little soldiers who passed the word ran more frequently, and often within a few minutes, Ling Xiao would pass on a few clear orders.

Although he was puzzled, the soldier was also very smart, and did not ask more, but ran silently.

On the field, I don't know when, the soldiers on Ling Xiao's side, although they are fans, but they faintly surround the soldiers of the hostile city, and constantly shrink the range.

The soldiers fought and fought with long knives or axes, which were some of the most powerful weapons.

While killing the enemy, they retracted towards the center, and these soldiers, not noticing the soldiers on their side, surrounded the enemy soldiers in the middle.

However, because of the red eyes of the killing, for a while, I didn't even notice it.

And Ling Xiao, standing at the highest point above the city wall, naturally had an unobstructed view of the battle situation, and the corners of his mouth curved a touch, looking confident.

Although it is necessary to stabilize those towns that have already been handed over, and those towns that are already taking the initiative to surrender, it is also necessary to maintain them by force, but Ling Xiao's men still have a lot of elite soldiers.

Although only a small part of these elite soldiers are veterans of a hundred battles, they are afraid that their strength is extraordinary, so Ling Xiao dared to attack the next city directly.

Originally, because of the decay of that city, if Ling Xiao was tough, he could directly destroy their troops.

In the face of absolute strength, any stubborn resistance is futile.

However, Ling Xiao didn't do this, just because Ling Xiao had other plans in his heart, so he just kept giving orders on the city wall, and did not personally lead many soldiers to fight.

Under Ling Xiao's continuous guidance, these soldiers were spread out by Ling Xiao as if they didn't know how to lead the troops, and they approached fiercely with one hand, and the enemy at this time was already unable to continue.

"Not bad!"

Ling Xiao looked at the field, nodded slightly, and then continued to analyze the situation on the field, and issued orders one by one again.

Ling Xiao was able to clearly watch the situation on the field from the city wall, and others could naturally do the same.

On the opposite side, on the wall of the hostile city, the city lord looked at the soldiers on his side on the field, slowly in decline, and even was firmly surrounded, his face was full of chagrin!

The city lord was an old man, a somewhat conceited old man, so from the beginning of the battle, he thought that he had firmly occupied all the advantages, so he didn't care about Ling Xiao at all.

It was only at this time, when the scene was so bad that anyone could see it, that he became frightened, looked at Ling Xiao's place and scolded a few times, with a hideous expression on his face, as if he wanted to break Ling Xiao's body into pieces.

It's a pity that the two cities are far apart, and it is impossible to see Ling Xiao at all, so this city lord can only scold in his heart.

As the battle drew to a close, the enemy generals also sensed that something was wrong.

It didn't take long for these generals to discover their inferior situation, and then they thought that they were unconsciously distracted from all their attention, and they were shocked.

Soon, these generals gathered together and wanted to break out.

However, after Ling Xiao, who was standing on a high place, saw it, his eyes lit up, and he immediately waved his hand to the archer-wielding soldier beside him, and said, "Shoot me!"

Those soldiers can be selected to shoot arrows on the city wall, they are people with extremely keen eyesight, and the kung fu they practice is specialized in exercising their eyesight, so they naturally know the goal pointed out by Ling Xiao.

Immediately, with a few "smack!" sounds, several sharp arrows flashing with cold light pierced the space in an instant, heading straight for the few generals who had gathered together.

Several enemy generals were caught off guard, and they were all injured lightly, and then they became more careful, killing the enemy while thinking of a way to break through.

After a short time, these people made a decisive decision, and then let the army on their side quickly gather and constantly mobilize.

Soon, all the enemy sergeants gathered in the center, and then these generals decisively concentrated their forces and broke through in the direction of their own city, which opened a gap and hurriedly widened the gap.

Then, he left a team of men and horses to drag Ling Xiao's team and retreated straight to his own town.

Ling Xiao looked at their decisive approach, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he did not give the order to chase after them, but gave an order to collect the troops.

Poor people don't chase, this is one reason, and the other is that Ling Xiao has a reason to do this.

After a while, all the soldiers under Ling Xiao retreated, and when the number of people was counted, although there were only a few dozen dead and wounded, Ling Xiao still felt uncomfortable listening to it.

After all, Ling Xiao just wanted them to make an example of the monkeys, but he didn't want to lose the troops in his hands.

Ling Xiao didn't like to march to fight, his uprising can be said to be the strangest of all the leaders, if someone has a heart to count Ling Xiao's battle this time, you will find that Ling Xiao's own soldier losses have been small to a certain level, and the other party's losses are all in the final word.

"It seems that only tomorrow will end!" Ling Xiao thought secretly with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

At this moment, the generals who led the troops all returned to the camp tent, looking at Ling Xiao's gaze, full of admiration and awe, which made Ling Xiao smile bitterly.

How could Ling Xiao not know why at this time, it was impossible that he quietly introduced the enemy army into his encirclement step by step, leaving nearly half of the enemy's number with a very small number of casualties, how could these generals not admire?

Although I don't know why I suddenly stopped in the end, instead of chasing after the victory, in the eyes of these generals, it must have a deep meaning.

The situation in the battle array was changing rapidly, and Ling Xiao had already left an indelible impression in their hearts before, that Moon City and Mid-Mountain City were both captured by Ling Xiao in a few days, not to mention that Moon City was still captured by Ling Xiao alone.

To manage to the realm of leading so many sergeants with the power of one person is quite incredible in the eyes of these generals.
