Chapter 22 Writing into a Soldier

The black-robed young man in the center of the battlefield didn't care about the mess in the minds of the Liangzhou defenders.

Seeing that they were reluctant to hang the white flag for a long time, he raised the white bone scepter in his hand.

One of the most important reasons why Gu Xu chose to attack the Great Qi Dynasty from the northwest border was that he could use the power of the grassland "wolf god", that is, the wolf dog ingot, to exert a strength beyond his own realm.

A golden bolt of lightning pierced the sky where the black clouds had piled up.

Like a sharp sword, it went straight to the city gate of Liangzhou.

I saw thunder roaring, the earth shaking, and the whole world was torn apart by the interlaced light and shadow.

The towering city tower of Liangzhou also collapsed in an instant, turning into a scattered yellow sand, in which not a single complete brick could be found.

But what surprised the monks of Liangzhou the most was not the powerful destructive power of this golden lightning, but the precise control of the black-robed young man's power-

When the city tower was blown up by golden thunder and lightning, the soldiers defending the city all fell to the ground steadily, and there were no casualties!

Yu Kunwei sat down on the ground and took a deep breath again.

He remembered that on the day of the "Luoshui Conference", a very similar golden lightning appeared in the sky above Luojing City.

Later, he heard others say that the lightning bolt was a killing move mastered by the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty, and only human emperors could use it - it used the "Tai'a Sword" as a medium to use the power of heaven and earth to intimidate all sentient beings, which was enough to wipe out all enemies with different hearts.

Even Zhao Changying, who had advanced to the realm of "True Monarch", was instantly defeated by the lightning, and had no power to resist.

But now, this move appeared in Gu Xu's hands in full view of everyone.

"Is this what makes him rebel?"

Yu Kunwei silently sighed in his heart.

He glanced at the shattered Liangzhou City Tower, knowing that even if he was given ten times the number of troops, he would not have the ability to defend this city in front of Gu Xu, Xu Man, and Zhao Changying.

"I've done my best," he pondered, "I can hold out for so long in the face of such an enemy, and I can already be regarded as worthy of the Great Qi Imperial Court's good fortune, and those idle officials are not qualified to accuse me anymore."

"If you resist any longer, you will be dead.

"It's better to surrender for the time being, and save your life first. In this world, being able to bend and stretch is the ...... a big man."

As he thought, he propped up the ground with his hands and struggled to get up, ready to give the order to surrender the city.

However, unexpectedly, the fat man Ren Guanxiong, who was bloated, ran faster than a rabbit at this time, and jumped in front of the black-robed young man as soon as he slipped through the smoke, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said respectfully:

"Master Gu...... Oh, no, the emperor, the criminal minister Liangzhou Exorcism Division Qianhu Ren Guanxiong, who had eyes and did not know Mount Tai before, disobeyed the emperor, and hoped that the emperor would forgive the sins......"

Yu Kunwei looked at the fat man's kowtow like pounding garlic, and his heart was very unhappy.

He originally hoped that through the act of sacrificing the city, he would occupy more weight in the heart of the black-robed young man, so that he could get preferential treatment from the other party after surrendering, and even reuse.

I didn't expect to be preempted by this dead fat man.

And after Ren Guanxiong surrendered, the cultivators of the Liangzhou Exorcism Division saw this, glanced at each other, and also left the city wall one after another, either flying with imperial weapons, or using their body techniques, rushing to the front of the black-robed young man like a race, scrambling to express their submission.

"These cultivators in Liangzhou ...... Are they all so spineless? Yu Kunwei complained secretly.

As a civil official of the Great Qi who has been studying the books of sages since childhood, even if Yu Kunwei surrenders, he will not behave as characterlessly as this group of people.

He stood at the head of the city and methodically commanded the soldiers to open the city gates, raise the white flag, and welcome the king into the city.

…………

Meanwhile.

In the secret stronghold of "Qingming" in Kongtong Pass, Gu Xu's real body was wearing a simple green shirt, holding the "astrolabe" in his hand, and sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, as if he was pretending to sleep.

Beside him was Luo Chuan, who was staring intently at the bronze mirror.

The mighty army surrounding the city of Liangzhou, including the monks floating in the sky, Zhao Changying and Xu Man, the guards who read the text, and the black-robed young man sitting in the carriage, were actually paper figures drawn by Gu Xu with the technique of "eye-catching and spiritual".

Since mastering the authority of "domination", Gu Xu's control over the paper people has increased significantly.

In the past, when he manipulated a dozen or so paper figures at the same time, he would feel a little difficult.

Now he can easily control an army – an army with no deterrent power, of course, but no actual combat power at all.

In addition to this, he can also manipulate the paper figure to help him draw talismans.

For example, if he first draws two paper figures by himself, these two paper figures can help him draw two more paper figures, and then the four paper figures he has drawn can draw four more paper figures, and then he will soon have eight more paper figures......

There is no end to children and grandchildren.

By analogy, the number of paper figures increased rapidly at a rate like bacterial reproduction, and it didn't take long for Gu Xu to have an army of 100,000 under his command.

In this regard, Gu Xu deeply sighed in his heart: the era of the handicraft workshop of the way of Fu Seal will eventually pass, and intelligent mass production is the mainstream of the future.

After that, with the help of spatial cracks, he threw all the paper people outside Liangzhou City, and with some illusion formations and some technical support from the saints, he created a terrifying visual effect that made the Liangzhou defenders spinal chills.

It's not just Liangzhou -

In fact, Gu Xu also deployed his paper man corps to the outside of the five border towns of Linqiang, Zhaowu, Zhangye, Juyan, and Yumen at the same time.

Because he knows very well that this paper man corps is purely a trick to scare people, and it may be effective to fool people once or twice, but if you deceive people too much, you will be seen through sooner or later.

Therefore, he must hurry up and lay down a base of his own before the Great Qi Imperial Court sees through all this and transmits the information to the defenders of the cities.

"Emperor, Liangzhou has just surrendered." Luo Chuan looked at the bronze mirror and said.

Although he knew very well that the Emperor who controlled the astrolabe and the paper army would most likely know about this situation before him.

But out of the duty of a courtier, he still opened his mouth to report.

"I saw it," Gu Xu replied lightly, "Next, it's time to send the White Bone Scepter to Juyan." ”

That's right.

Of the six legions of paper men, everything is an illusion, only the Bone Scepter is the real thing.

In this large-scale siege battle, the wolf dog ingot, no, is the great steppe wolf god, and the glory has become the highest output in the whole field.

By dusk, the six cities had become Gu Xu's bag.

Demoted officials like Yu Kunwei were worried at first about whether such a large army could be stuffed in the city.

But to their surprise, this mighty army did not march in the direction of the city gates.

Instead, they walked straight to the city walls, blending into them one by one, turning into a huge and imposing mural that records this historic moment.
