Standing on the street, looking at the piles of corpses around her, as well as the screams that could be heard everywhere, Duan Zhiqing's face was a little ugly, her nerves were tense, and her heart was uneasy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Don't look at her as the commander of an army now, but her actual combat experience is very limited, and the slaughter of the city is the first time she has participated. The reason why Shangguan Xiu did not let the gendarmerie slaughter the city, but let the officers and soldiers of the 17th Army slaughter the city alone, is precisely this reason.

This kind of thing, the gendarmerie has done it many times before, all of them are experienced veterans, and the 17th Army is a new legion, and the whole army is a novice, this massacre of the city can accumulate experience for the future, and the recruits have seen blood and opened a killing ring, and they will be more ferocious when fighting the enemy in the future.

In addition, he arranged for the Seventeenth Army to act alone and plunder the spoils of Oulu City, mainly for the remaining three legions of the Northern Army, so that they could see that it was profitable to follow him into Besa to fight, and he could earn real money and make meritorious contributions.

On the battlefield, every order given by Shangguan Xiu has a strong purpose and pertinence.

Looking at Duan Zhiqing, whose face was slightly pale beside him, Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and asked, "Zhiqing, are you afraid?"

Duan Zhiqing's expression was straight, she cleared her throat, and intervened and said, "My lord, the last general is not afraid, it's ...... I just think it'......"

"You just think it's too cruel, don't you?" Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you know what the biggest hidden danger in Ningnan is now? It is the racial disunity, the people of Ningnan are fifty or sixty percent of the people of different races, they are obedient to the powerful court on the surface, but in fact, they both reject and hate the court and the orthodox Ningnan people, this hidden danger cannot be eradicated, and Ningnan will never have to worry about it. In this battle, the ultimate goal of our army is to take Nashikaya and incorporate it into our territory, and in the end, our army must expel them from the country, and those Besa people who refuse to move away must be exterminated forever. This is just the beginning. Moreover, this massacre of the city is also a knock on the mountain and a tiger, killing chickens and monkeys, so that those Besa troops hidden in the Nashikiya region can clearly see that the fate of our Feng army will not only kill themselves, but also implicate innocent people!"

To put it bluntly, Shangguan Xiu's policy is to avoid people in the land, so as to ensure the purity of the national blood of the Wind Country and prevent the reproduction of foreign bloodlines in the Wind Country.

After hearing this, Duan Zhiqing showed an expression of sudden realization, it turned out that the Lord still had so many considerations when he ordered the slaughter of the city. She nodded in response, "My lord, the last general understands!"

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "Pass the order, arrest the nobles in the city first, especially the members of the Bussman family, and capture as many as possible." ”

"Yes, sir!" Duan Zhiqing intervened in agreement.

Shangguan Xiu, surrounded by many guards, went to the City Lord's Mansion. When the merchants of the Fengguo who took refuge here heard that Shangguan Xiu had arrived, they came out of the city lord's mansion together, knelt down to give a big salute, and said in unison: "The villain greets the adult!"

"Everyone, please wake up! This war didn't affect everyone, did it?"

"No, no, the generals take good care of us!" "Yes, not only did they take care of us in the City Lord's Mansion, but they also prepared sumptuous drinks and delicacies, and we are very grateful for the kindness of our lords!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be polite, now the war in the city is still not over, for your safety, everyone needs to continue to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, if there is any inconvenience, you need to be more considerate!"

"Oh, you're so polite, my lord!"

After a few brief greetings with the merchants, and to calm their emotions, Shangguan Xiu walked into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. On one side of the hall lay several large chests full of gold and silver coins, which the gendarmerie had found from the Lord's Mansion.

Shangguan Xiu grabbed a handful casually, played with it in his hand, and said sideways: "Absolutely!"

"Brother Xiu!" Xiao Jue stepped forward quickly.

"Is there an interrogation now about who the commander of the Besa Army is?" Shangguan Xiu asked, fiddling with the gold coins in his hand.

"It's Count Thomas Bussman. Xiao refused to reply.

"Bring him here. "Yes! Brother Xiu!" Xiao Jue agreed, waved his hand and called a gendarme to explain. After a stick of incense, several gendarmes brought a richly dressed Besa into the hall.

The Besa man was in his early forties, with curly black hair, sunken eye sockets, blue eyes, and a large, straight nose. He wears a white two-cut shirt, a double row of buckles on his chest, a red ribbon diagonally, a family badge and a medal of Besa pinned to his chest, and two long leather boots on his feet.

The costumes of the Besa people are largely borrowed from the Tia people, and many of the traditions and customs of the Besa people are also completely copied from Tia, and for the Besa country, the Tia country is simply their mentor.

Shangguan Xiu asked the gendarmes to find a merchant from the Wind Country from outside and ask him to act as an interpreter. He approached the middle-aged man and asked, "Are you Count Thomas Bussman?" (omitted below)

The middle-aged nobleman of Besa raised his head, looked at Shangguan Xiu, held back for a while, and said: "I am Count Busman! This time I led the army to fight against your wind army, and it has nothing to do with the people of Oulu City.

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "I don't need you to teach me how to do things, and, Lord Earl, I have warned you, don't be the enemy of my wind army, otherwise, Oulu City will be left without chickens and dogs, and my Feng army soldiers have always been true to their word, and Oulu City will have today, and it is no wonder that we will have it." ”

Thomas's face was ugly, staring at Shangguan Xiu for a moment, and he lowered his head. The general of the defeated army, he has nothing to say, and now his life is all about others, and it is useless to say anything.

Shangguan Xiu said slowly

"I have some doubts, if the Earl can truthfully solve the doubts, the Earl can save his life, and the Earl's family can also live. ”

"You...... What do you want to know?"

"Some time ago, the sneak attack on Dumuos City, our army's supply team, and the town of the Windy Country, were all done by Lord Earl?"

"Yes!

"As far as I know, Bussman's family army is only 3,000 at best, where did this army of more than 30,000 come from?"

"Yes...... Some of them are the city army of Oulu City, and some of them are the family army of other families!"

"The people who can have a family army are not ordinary nobles, but the Bussman family has always had conflicts with other local nobles, this time, why did they suddenly send troops to help you?"

"Isn't it a matter of course for us to abandon our past grievances and share the same hatred for the enemy?" Thomas replied with a firm answer.

"Lord Earl has served in the army before?" Shangguan Xiu suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Thomas was stunned, looked at Shangguan Xiu inexplicably, and was stunned for a while, he shook his head and said, "I...... I have never served in the military!"

"Then this is interesting!" Shangguan Xiu burst out laughing and said: "The sneak attack on Dumuos, our army's supply team and our country's towns and cities, the three-pronged operation, the chief general who commands the operation, obviously has a very high military quality, and also knows the essentials of fighting snakes and attacking the enemy's weak points, since the earl has never served in the army, then, how did he become a general of the unified army overnight?"

His words left Thomas speechless. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the gendarmes on the side shouted in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is asking you!"

Thomas shook his body and said hesitantly, "Yes...... Someone is helping......"

"Who is assisting you?" Shangguan Xiu pressed step by step.

"This ...... ...... this," Thomas couldn't answer. Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and nodded to Xiao Jue on the side. The latter slapped twice and shouted outward, "Bring them all in!"

With his shouting, dozens of gendarmes escorted a large group of people to the door of the hall, the women wore tunic skirts with waists, and the men wore straight and capable two-cut short clothes.

Shangguan Xiu glanced outside, raised his head to Thomas and said, "To them, Lord Earl should be no stranger, let me ask you again, who is assisting you!"

"I ...... This ......" Thomas's face was already purple, he looked back at the family members outside the hall for a while, and then at Shangguan Xiu, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't spit out a word.

"Hehe!" Shangguan Xiu chuckled, picked up a gold coin between his fingers, without warning, his fingers flicked outward, a strong wind blew out, rolled up the gold coin, flew out of the hall, and heard a flutter, the gold coin sank into the chest of a young Besa woman, and a large blood hole was punched in her chest.

"Ahh Thomas's head buzzed, and he nearly fainted on the spot.

Shangguan Xiu unhurriedly picked up the second gold coin, his fingers were bent, and he was about to bounce outward, Thomas finally couldn't help it, and screamed: "It's the Holy See Army! All this is arranged by the Holy See Army!"

Hearing the name of the Holy See Army, Shangguan Xiu's face was full of confusion, and the Dark Flag personnel standing next to him were taken aback. One of the leaders of the Dark Banner walked up to Shangguan Xiu and whispered, "My lord, the Holy See Army is the most mysterious army in Besa, and it is not under the command of the Besa Royal Court, but is directly loyal to the Holy See. No one knows exactly how much military strength there were, except for the Holy See, which is said to have a strength of less than a thousand. ”
