Under the joint attack of the gendarmerie and the Fifth Corps, the defenders of Besa could not support it, and they were defeated one after another, and the south of the town, the west of the town, the east of the town, and the north of the town were lost one after another.

Most of the wounded and dead of Bessa's army, and finally the remaining 1,000 or so defenders retreated to the church in the center of the town.
The original strength of tens of thousands of people is now only about 1,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and they are also defeated generals who have run out of ammunition and food, and there is no suspense in this battle.
The more than 1,000 Besa soldiers were stubborn, gathered in front of the main entrance of the church, and when there was no ammunition available for the muskets, the people showed their swords, lined up the infantry phalanx, and put on a posture of hand-to-hand combat with the wind army and fought to the death.
Shangguan Xiu squatted on the roof of a building near the church, staring coldly at the dying and struggling defenders of Besa. Behind him, there were also Guangfang, Duan Qiyue, Zhao Chen, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and others.
Guangfang sneered and said: "Brother Xiu, the remnants of Besa have been surrounded by our legion, and it is difficult to fly, and there is only one way to resist if you resist, do you want to find some brothers who can speak Besa and persuade them to surrender?"
"No, since the enemy is bent on seeking mercy, it is necessary to fulfill them. Shangguan Xiu stood up, turned his head sideways and said, "Absolutely, take a big flag of our country!"
Xiao Jue agreed, and his figure disappeared on the roof in an instant, and after a short time, he reappeared on the roof again, but there was an extra banner of the Wind Country in his hand.
Shangguan Xiu took the flagpole and waved it outward, hula, the flag unfurled, and the flag of the Wind Country with red letters on a black background fluttered in the wind. Bai Plating means that hey, the eye brother closes the mouth and heart chapter
Seeing the national flag fluttering on the roof, the soldiers of the Wind Army around the church shouted in unison: "Wind, wind, wind!" With the sound of shouting, the soldiers raised their firearms in unison, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at the opposite Besa Army.
Realizing that the Wind Army was ready to launch a final attack, in front of the church, a Besa army general waved his long sword forward, turned back and shouted loudly, and more than a thousand Besa soldiers heard the order and advanced together.
As soon as the Bessa army moved, the fire crackers in the Wind Army's camp became one.
I saw a side of green smoke rising from the camp of the Wind Army, and dense projectiles flew into the Vesa Army's phalanx one after another. The projectile struck the iron armor of the Besa soldier, leaving it with a thousand holes, and blood gushed down the bullet holes.
The Besa army, which was walking in front, fell to the ground in rows and rows. And the Besa army behind, as if they could not see the casualties of their comrades, were still advancing one after another. Hundreds of years ago, the Besa people were known for not being afraid of death, and this spirit has been passed down to the next generation.
While the infantry of the Wind Army were attacking with firearms, the artillery of the Wind Army was not idle, carrying the mortars one by one.
With the roaring sound of shelling, one by one the shells hit the air, drew a parabola, crossed the camp of the wind army, and smashed into the crowd of the Besa army, followed by a series of explosions, hundreds of Besa troops were blown to pieces, flesh and blood flying, and the originally neat Besa army formation was scattered in an instant.
This is not a battle between the two armies, it is a completely one-sided massacre. Under the large-scale attack of firearms and artillery, even the cultivators with advanced cultivation could not resist, and none of the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Besa Army ran away, not even a quarter of an hour, and all of them fell in a pool of blood, and none of them could even successfully rush to the front of the Wind Army's camp.
Seeing that all the enemy troops in front of him had fallen, in the camp of the Wind Army, the battalion commanders issued military orders one after another: "Ceasefire! Ceasefire to all!" "Collect the guns!" "Put on the sword!" "Advance-"
The wind sergeant with the sword attached, holding the fire gun, pushed forward in rows, and when he stepped on the body of the Besa army, as long as he found that there were still people squirming on the ground, he immediately replaced the sword. In front of the church, corpses were piled up, and blood was pouring down.
Shangguan Xiu, who was watching the battle, watched it, thrust the big flag in his hand into the roof, and then jumped down. Seeing Shangguan Xiu come forward, a military police battalion lieutenant stepped forward quickly, intervened in the salute, and said, "My lord, not a single citizen has been found in the town. ”
Xiao Jue, who was following behind Shangguan Xiu, shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "The people may have been scared away, right?"
Shangguan Xiu didn't answer, and others might not be able to hear the movement in the church, but he could hear it.
He carried a knife, stepped on the corpse of the Besa Army with an expressionless face, walked straight to the door of the church, lifted his leg, and kicked the door of the church open.
As the wooden door shattered, screams of men, women, and children were immediately heard inside the church.
People looked inside, well, there were thousands of Besa people gathered in the church, and judging by the way they were dressed, they should all be the people of the town.
The church, located in the very center of the town, is the tallest, largest, and most luxurious building in the town, and the space inside is very large, but it still seems extremely crowded with thousands of people.
Looking at the wolf-like wind army outside, the people who hid in the church for refuge were all bloodless and trembling and hugging each other.
Shangguan Xiu walked into the church as if no one was around, and the people of Besa on both sides turned pale with fright, and couldn't help but retreat to the side, as if it was not a person who walked in, but a devil who ate people.
He walked unhurriedly along the aisle in the center of the church, and when he reached the center of the church, he was met by three clergy in white robes.
The three clergymen were dressed similarly, all wearing white robes and white melon-skin hats on their heads, but their clothes and hats were already very old.
The clergy on the left and right were not very old, in their early twenties, and the clergy at the head was the oldest, fifty miles away, his white robe was fairly clean, and he held a scepter symbolizing the bishop in one hand and a chalice made of brass in the other.
Seeing Shangguan Xiu and other soldiers of the Feng Army recklessly breaking into the church, the elderly clergy stepped forward with courage, waved his hand and said: "This is the church, it is a sacred place, you and other pagans cannot come in here, let alone carry weapons!"
Shangguan Xiu ignored him, his eyes swept left and right, and looked at the people around him. To be sure, the people of Besa were not dressed as well as the people of the Wind Country, and no one wore satin, either cloth or sackcloth, and more than half of them wore patches on their bodies, and there were no extra ornaments to be seen on them.
"Get out at once! This is the church, I ask you to get out of here at once, do you hear?" (in Besa) "In Besa, the church has a very high status, and the clergy are the most respected people, and even if there is a fighting in Besa, the fighting will not affect the church, let alone the clergy.
It's a pity that Shangguan Xiu is not from Besa, and Besa's rules can't bind his head.
Listening to the other party's shouting, watching the other party's gestures, he was upset, and sighed dissatisfiedly, without warning, the Mo knife in his hand suddenly raised, and as soon as he handed it forward, he heard a poof, and the edge of the Mo knife was inserted into the other party's mouth, and the tip of the knife poked out behind his head.
Suddenly, the noisy sound stopped abruptly, and there was a sound of inhalation and exclamation from the crowd of people on the left and right, and the people's eyes widened in disbelief, and they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them, the wind man killed the bishop of the town?
Shangguan Xiu put away the knife and shook the blood on the knife casually, and the corpse was still standing straight in front of him, his eyes were round and his mouth was wide open.
Shangguan Xiu glanced indifferently, reached out and snatched the holy grail that the corpse was still holding tightly, lowered his head and smelled the holy water inside, there was no smell, confirmed that it was clear water, he raised his head, drank the holy water, and then threw the holy grail in his hand to the side casually.
Only then did the corpse fall straight to the ground, Guangfang stepped forward, picked up the scepter, and saw a big red bead inlaid on the top of the scepter, he smiled brightly: "Brother Xiu, look, what a big ruby!"
Shangguan Xiu only glanced at it, then pursed the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, and said, "It's fake." ”
"Fake?"
"It's made of glass. ”
"Isn't the glass transparent?"
"Painted red paint. While speaking, Shangguan Xiu used the tip of the Mo knife to lightly touch the red bead, snap, the bead shattered, and the inside was hollow.
"Damn, what's the fuck if you don't have the money to pay it back?!" Guangfang slammed the scepter to the ground in a huff, and stepped on it in two. Then he looked at the two clergy with an unkind expression, and reached out to grab them both, and one of the clergy stammered, "Will ...... The general spares his life!"
Guangfang was stunned, looked up and down at the young man begging for mercy, the other party was a typical Besa man, white skin, yellow hair, blue eyes, deep facial features, tall figure, he asked, "Can you speak wind language?"
"Villain...... The villain had learned some wind words when he went to the Windy Country to preach before. "The clergyman's wind language is not very good, and the tone is strange, but it can still be understood.
It was rare to meet a Besa man who could speak the wind language, Guangfang took back the outstretched hand and turned his head to look at Shangguan Xiu.
Shangguan Xiu didn't say anything, didn't look at each other more, he walked between the two clergy, and came to the shrine at the innermost end of the church, with a golden cross hanging on the wall, and two statues of gods on the table, as well as candlesticks, chalices, and other things. Shangguan Xiu used a Mo knife to slash horizontally on the table, knocking all the items placed on it to the ground.
The people of Besa at the scene let out another burst of exclamations. Shangguan Xiu sneered, stabbed the cross on the wall with his backhand, and he turned around and said, "Hang the statue of the Holy Spirit!"
Following his order, the Wind Soldier held the scroll and hung it on the wall, and as the scroll unfolded, it was the Holy Spirit worshiped by the Wind Country.
Shangguan Xiu put his hands behind his back, his bright and sharp eyes slowly scanned the people of Besa present, and said proudly: "If you have to worship one god, then from now on, you can only worship the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit will also be your only god!" As he spoke, he looked at the young clergyman and said, "Translate my words to them!"
