In these five days, Xia Qi gathered a total of 3,000 troops.

After scattering the deer and other scouts to make sure that there was no ambush along the way, the cavalry went first, followed by the infantry.

In this big battle, Xia Qi did everything he could, if he couldn't eliminate the other party in one go, then the consequences could be imagined.

The whole army marched for a day, and finally saw a huge shadow appear in front of him before dark, which was the first target of Xia Qi's trip, and it was also the westernmost city of the civilization to which the royal court belonged.

"Patriarch, the sun is about to set, do you want to continue to attack the city?" Xiong, who was standing next to Xia Qi, asked.

The last battle in Qingyan City, Xiong did not go with him, but defended Daxia City with Pan, and after learning that Xia Qi was almost successfully attacked on the battlefield, Xiong complained to the white wolf.

The white wolf also couldn't say that the spearmen he led in that battle encountered great resistance, and at the same time played a great role on the battlefield, and he himself was also the leader.

However, it is also true that the head of the family was almost successfully attacked.

"Don't worry, how are you going to prepare? You have to make a big contribution to this project. Xia Qi looked at the bear.

Xiong said with a solemn expression: "Patriarch, don't worry, this time we have brought most of the fire oil in the city, and we have also collected a large amount of dry firewood along the way. ”

"Okay."

Hearing this, Xia Qi nodded, looked at the scattered figures on the opposite city wall, and ordered: "Order the bed crossbow troops to destroy all the bed crossbows on the other side's city wall!" ”

Just when the Great Xia City side was preparing to attack, Wang Tian looked at the number of troops under the city that was even inferior to his own side, and his solemn face became much less.

But he didn't become despised because of this, in the battle of Qingyan City, he knew that the combat effectiveness of the opposing troops was very strong.

For this reason, he specially piled up most of the requisitioned troops into this city, as long as the opponent's troops could be stopped here, then the troops from the rear would come with it.

When the time comes, the two troops will join forces and directly push back to each other!

When Wang Tian was in his reverie, a heavy crossbow arrow suddenly shot from under the city, brushing him in a flash, only to hear a loud "bang", and a bed crossbow not far from him was directly shot and turned into a pile of parts.

Scouts had reported that at least 4,000 soldiers had been hoarded in the city.

Originally, the number of soldiers on the other side was more than that of his side, and it was a siege battle, so if he came hard, he was afraid that he would be able to capture this city in the end, and he would also suffer heavy losses.

The city in front of him only has two gates, east and west, and Xia Qi can be sure that there is still a lot of sand and soil piled up in the city gate hole, which is a very common practice.

So Xia Qi then changed his engineering strategy.

In this battle, the big shields left by Yang Peng played a role.

When all the harvest equipment in the city was destroyed, the shield axemen immediately carried large shields and piled up one of the sections of the city wall with actual firewood, and then poured fire oil.

Rumble!!!

The firewood was ignited by the rockets that were fired, and it suddenly flew out more than ten meters high, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.

If Wang Ting was here, he would definitely be able to detect what Xia Qi wanted to do, and would do his best to stop it at the beginning, but unfortunately, he was not here.

Although Wang Tian is relied upon, he has never studied physics and does not know heat. The truth of expansion and contraction. In his opinion, the other party's approach is a little inexplicable.

But this is also good, and it also saves the other party a night attack.

This fire burned all night, and from time to time, the Great Xia City side would put a whole line of firewood inside to ensure that the fire was not extinguished.

By this time, this section of the city wall had been burned to the ground and was completely untenable.

Later, Xia Qi found someone to carry buckets of water and poured it on that section of the city wall.

......Shh

The cold water was poured on the hot city wall, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and a large amount of white smoke came out.

At first, Wang Tian's defenders were still watching inexplicably, but the next scene was beyond their understanding.

Click! Click!

The sound of the city wall cracking kept coming, and Wang Tianfang was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky.

"The walls are going to crack!"

"What's going on!"

"It must be the other side of the witchcraft!"

"Listen, it's silent, the walls are fine!"

"Great, it scared the hell out of me."

Then the city wall stopped ringing, and everyone looked at the dense cracks on the city wall, and their faces showed expressions for the rest of their lives.

And it was at this time that ten eight-bull crossbows on the side of Great Xia City were launched at the same time and shot at this cracked city wall.

This section of the city wall, which has reached its limit, is finally no longer able to support it.

"The walls are falling!"

As this section of the city wall cracked, the Great Xia City side also launched a clarion call for a counterattack.

Before they could react, the axe and shield soldiers swarmed up, and after controlling the gap, they began to quickly carry up the collapsed scrap.

"Quick, stop them!"

Wang Tian really deserved to be a general who was relied on by the royal court, and he was the first to react and hurriedly organized people to block it.

It's just that the soldiers defending the city haven't recovered from the shock just now, so the bows and arrows they shoot are sparse and useless.

"Shoot the arrows—"

The archers on the side of Great Xia City were not used to watch, and suddenly shot a wave of arrows towards the city wall, which immediately suppressed the defenders of the city.

After all, no one stipulates that only the defenders of the city can release arrows, right?

Seeing this, Wang Tian gritted his teeth and beckoned to the big shield soldiers around him: "You come with me!" ”

After saying that, he rushed out with his spear in his hand, and the big shield soldiers present saw this, hesitated for a moment and hurriedly chased after him.

"Good time!"

Seeing someone rushing over, the bear immediately greeted him.

Wang Tian's heart jumped when he saw Xiong, such a general, he was probably not an opponent.

But now that the arrow was on the line, Wang Tian had no choice but to rush towards the bear.

Seeing someone rushing towards him, the corners of the bear's mouth curled into a sneer, and then brandished a large knife to meet him.

Qingniu Yongwu is only a four-star to be able to fight back and forth, facing the brave five-star bear, Wang Tian is not an opponent at all, only less than ten rounds, he was cut to the ground by the bear.

At this time, Qingyang had also led the cavalry to rush in from the break in the city wall.

From now on, there is no suspense in this siege battle.

From the official beginning of the siege to the end of the battle, it took less than a morning, and you must know that there are still more than 4,000 defenders in the city!

"Patriarch, what should we do with those captives?"

Hearing this, Xia Qi glanced at the group of captives in the distance who had been captured, at this time this group of prisoners were still apprehensive, obviously not recovering from the collapse of the city wall just now.

After a siege battle, there was no resistance at all, and less than 500 people died, that is, a full 3,500 prisoners.

Xia Qi began to hesitate, in his original plan, he wanted these people to be killed, one is to pay tribute to the soldiers and civilians who died in the battle of Qingyan City, and the other is to prevent these people from making trouble, but now that he thinks about it, wouldn't it be a pity to kill so many people?

Moreover, the war is not over yet, if the lives of the prisoners they kill are transmitted to other places, the defenders there will inevitably resist to the death, which is really unfavorable for Xia Qi.

But in the current situation, if he chooses to accept these prisoners, if these prisoners defect before the war, it will obviously be detrimental to them, and even hit the morale of his army, but if he leaves these prisoners in the rear, in case something makes a mess, it will be very troublesome.

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Qi suddenly stopped hesitating and said, "Kill them all." ”

As he uttered these three words, the face of the young enemy soldier who had just been captured from the city wall by a shield axe soldier suddenly changed, and then he struggled frantically, "Stop! We have surrendered! Don't you think it's too cruel to do this?! ”

Hearing this, Xia Qi paused, and then suddenly showed a cold smile, "I'm sorry, I've always been cold-blooded and ruthless to the enemy, and I'm very cruel!" ”

Xia Qi's decisiveness and ruthlessness were obviously beyond the young man's imagination, but the young man was obviously not willing to die obediently, only to hear him shout loudly again, "I know you are worried that we will defect or cause some chaos before the war, but what if I can make the other soldiers obedient?!" ”

The young man's words made a trace of surprise flash in Xia Qi's eyes, not to mention the rest, at least this young man's brain turned quite fast, and his courage was not small, but this was not enough to make Xia Qi change his mind......

"Don't waste your efforts, your army has committed an unforgivable crime in my city! My people can't tolerate your presence, so you know? ”

Xia Qi's tone of voice was calm and desperate, because it meant that his words just now failed to shake the decision of the man in front of him at all, but he was shaken by Xia Qi's words.

What kind of things their army will do after capturing a city, as a soldier, he naturally knows very well in his heart. Lewd. There are so many shocking things about kidnapping, murder games, so many that the young man doesn't know how to refute it at this moment, and although he is ashamed to be with those people, he has no power to stop such things from happening constantly.

"You, you can't think that everyone deserves to die just because some people have done something that has lost their conscience, this approach is too arrogant and domineering!" The young man argued hard.

I have to say that the other party's remarks made Xia Qi unexpectedly a little interested, "So what?" Being arrogant and domineering is the prerogative of the strong! ”

You say that he is arrogant and domineering, and he does not hesitate to admit that I am arrogant, I am domineering, how about it? Such a character made the young man feel caught off guard for a while.

At this time, the young man suddenly realized that he was wrong, the man in front of him was very different from the royal court in his impression.

He doesn't pretend to be virtuous, let alone a saint, he unabashedly shows his domineering character, which makes people feel the slightest hypocrisy!

But when it comes to his own life, it is obviously impossible for young people to give up like this.

"Wait a minute! I can guarantee it! Make sure none of the people I've picked have done anything that has lost their conscience, and I'll be able to provide you with information on other cities, and even help you capture the next one! ”

didn't have time to think about it, the young man directly threw out all his chips in one go.
