Looking at the secret city that was still billowing with smoke and dust in the distance, and the flames were raging in some places, Kong Ming sighed. After the Snow Wolf mercenary army left, the nearby residents rushed into the homes of the nobles, snatched the contents in a frenzy, and then set fire to the things that could not be moved, including the house. And because all the nobles' private armies in the city participated in the attack on the mercenary army, so in the first time after entering the city, the mercenary army imprisoned all those nobles, and those private armies were like the treatment of the city guards, and they all went to dismantle the city wall, and in this period of time, all the nobles in the city became poor overnight, and because of the ruthlessness of the fire, those documents were also burned, so that they could no longer recover some things.

"What's there to sigh about?" asked Che Yi from the side. He was born in a chaotic land, and he didn't have a good impression of these Harvey nobles, and there were some surprises when he saw Kong Ming like this, you must know that people like Kong Ming should have been used to this phenomenon for a long time, how could they still sigh?

"Nothing, I just thought, it's a pity that such a good house burns down. ”

"The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come, I think those nobles must think the same way. "Che borrowed humor.

"Then you are mistaken, for the aristocracy, the older and more valuable things prove that the longer their history is, the more noble they are, and those new things can only prove that they are an explosive household, and in the circle of the aristocracy, the explosive household is despised. Yi Yiyi explained on the side.

"I didn't know there was such a rule? I think I'm one of those outbursts. Kong Ming touched his nose and smiled bitterly.

"Don't put gold on your face, you can't even be regarded as an outburst, at most you can only be regarded as a poor aristocrat with state subsidies. Yi Yiyi said with a smile.

"How did I not know that the commander was still a nobleman?" said Che Yi teasingly. This is already a well-known thing among the mercenary army, and everyone knows that the commander is a lowly nobleman of the Huayuan Empire. And it's obtained by drinking, for which those people laugh at Kong Ming, fortunately, Kong Ming is a man in the military, but in life is not very serious, so many mercenaries are very fond of joking with Kong Ming, because it is to drink the hotel, they know very well the origin of Kong Ming's title, but, they have never seen Kong Ming drink the hotel, for which many people have bet. What is the amount of alcohol in Kongmei.

"Come on, you know my details very well, and you still ask me this. "Kong Ming doesn't have a good airway.

"And what the hell are you sighing about?" said Che Yu, curiously.

"There's nothing left, it's just a casual sigh, how can there be so many whys. "For this question. Kuming was obviously unwilling to answer.

"Alright, our next goal is Kaesong. Let's go!" Soon all the mercenaries disappeared into the mountains, leaving only one person behind the Harvey Army, and for a long time after that, the City had no walls, even if the Harvey Army worked hard to rebuild there, but it would always be disturbed by the various mercenary armies from the Chaos Land.

And after the news of the secret city reached the Land of Chaos. All kinds of mercenary groups and mercenary armies everywhere are ready to move, and they are beginning to be extremely concerned about the actions of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the thought of being able to get a piece of Geng on this basis makes them even more excited. You know, this kind of thing is what they dream of. At this time, the city lord's mansion of Hairong City was quiet, and the city lord said to the housekeeper there: "This time we have made a lot of money, hehe, I didn't expect that guy from Kongming to be so capable, I knew that this was the case, I must increase my investment, so that we will not be harassed by the Harvey army again, and we can also push forward a little further and build another city, so that we are not afraid that they will threaten us." ”

"City Lord, I think we should take another look, if Kong Ming and they completely defeated the Harvey Army, it will not be too late for us to act at that time, but now it may not be realistic for us to invest in them. ”

"Why?"

"City Lord, mercenaries don't make money in the war? We can only use a little effort on the wounded mercenaries they left behind, anyway, it won't cost a few dollars, but we can win their friendship, I think this is what we need to do the most at the moment. The butler said slowly.

"Haha, yes, yes, do these things well, and hype them up, so that more mercenaries can enter the Harvey Empire from here, so that we can sit back and relax. ”

"Yes, City Lord. ”

Under the impetus of Haicheng City, the actions of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army are considered to be typical of the mercenary world, and the battle record is infinitely exaggerated, allowing more mercenaries to devote themselves from Hairong City to the great cause of fighting against the Harvey Empire.

Early in the morning, outside Kaesong, after a few hours of rest, the mercenary army finally arrived here, and the fog still shrouded Kaesong, and it was not clear to see a hundred meters away. At this time, the army is the easiest time to relax and be accused of the enemy's sneak attack, and of course it is also the time to sneak attack the enemy. But Sora knew that they had lost the chance to sneak up on Kaesong, as evidenced by the incessant shouting from above Kaesong. The information from the scouts in front of him indicated that Kaesong had opened its magic shield and that the city was full of people, and it was clear that they were fully prepared for defense.

"Commander, they've got their defenses in place, should we attack now?" Dunce said.

A few people next to him were also in the air, you know, if an army terminates a necessary battle for some unexpected reason, the impact on the morale of the soldiers is very great. And now the fog obscures everyone's view, in this case, it is very disadvantageous for the side on unfamiliar terrain, because you don't know what kind of thing is waiting for you, and you don't know what situation will suddenly appear, and if you don't raise your vigilance at this time, then a small mistake will have a fatal effect on the army.

"This fog is not ordinary! there are faint magical fluctuations in the fog. Guess they used the weather and magic to cause the fog. Inform the magicians to use their magic to disperse the fog. Kong Ming said, not long after, the mercenary's magician began to use magic to disperse the fog, at this time, suddenly, Kong Ming felt a huge magic fluctuation coming, "Oh no! Protection! Protection!" Kong Ming hurriedly shouted. In an instant, the sound spread throughout the camp of the mercenary army. All the mercenaries didn't know what was going on when they heard Kong Ming's words, but out of their subconscious response to Kong Ming's command, all of them opened their shields. At the same time, most of the magicians opened the protective magic scrolls one by one, protecting the entire mercenary army from one day to the sky. But although these measures had already been taken, it was a little late, and a wave of magic fluctuations fell from the sky, only to see huge fireballs falling from the sky and smashing into the camp of the mercenary army. Many mercenaries were directly smashed to pieces, while many more mercenaries were smashed to pieces. Many of the horses were stoned to death without any protection. Under the effect of firepower, the entire front of Kaesong and the front of the mercenary army formation were exposed, and the original fog suddenly dispersed a large hole. Kong Ming also smashed those fireballs, but this magic is too large for Kong Ming, so its effect per unit area is much smaller. But even the effect is much smaller. It also caused great losses to the mercenary army, because this magic was also a great disaster for a third-level profession. Throwing it away, I saw countless mercenaries in front of me falling, some screaming for the sky and grabbing the earth, and some wailing all kinds of miserable things.

"Fireballs from the sky!" some magicians recognized the magic. This is a magic that can only be released by a saint-level powerhouse, Kong Ming did not expect that there would be such a fear in such a Kaesong, you know, if there is this information, Kong Ming will definitely choose another time to attack Kaesong, not now, early in the morning, which is conducive to the enemy's sneak attack.

Kong Ming didn't pay attention to the mercenaries lying on the ground, but directly gave an order, and at the same time, Kong Ming also released a seventh-level magic scroll "The Earth Shakes the Mountain". This is a long-range attack earth magic, although Kong Ming is not an earth magician, but the magic scroll does not need to have the same system of magic to cast, it just needs mana as an introduction. The mercenaries were obviously very accustomed to this kind of sudden attack, and after listening to the order of Dao Kongming, for a while, the magicians released long-range attack magic one after another, and those archers kept firing arrows at the enemy. You must know that although the enemy is a holy magister, it is impossible for his magic to go too far, and at this time, the fog in front of him has dissipated, and the castle of Kaesong has appeared in front of the mercenary, close at hand.

The city lord of Kaicheng obviously didn't expect the mercenary army to react so quickly, the magic shield had been closed because of the casting of magic, and it was not opened, but it was very close to the mercenary army, so that as soon as the mercenary's magic and bow and arrow were put down, the entire city gate was destroyed, and even the city lord was buried directly into the dust because he was too close, although he didn't know whether it was dead or alive, but at this moment this qiē was no longer important, and the holy demon master opened the protective shield himself before the mercenaries were covered by magic, blocking all the magic, and his magic shield was also a lot darker, but by the time he reacted, it was already too late, because all the people around him were killed or buried in the ground, and he was the only one standing there, becoming the target of all the mercenaries. The city lord of Kaesong did not expect that if it weren't for his attack, the mercenaries would not have suffered so much damage, and if it weren't for his attack, most of the high-ranking officers in Kaesong would not have died in the first mercenary attack. And the city defense army, which has lost its command, is clearly already a lamb to the slaughter. Perhaps this is the so-called cleverness but is mistaken by cleverness, and the same is obviously true for Kong Ming, who directly used the fog to inflict the mercenary army under the magic range of the city defense army before figuring out the number of city defenses, the distribution of forces and the character of the main commander of Kaesong, obviously not a commander. You must know that the art of war says: "If you know the other, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; if you don't know the other, you will win and lose; if you don't know the other, you won't know what you have done, and you will lose every battle." "Although it is said that the mercenaries have cultivated their long-term combat instinct to break through the enemy's walls, there are too many accidents in this. What's more, if this is not the case, this time Kong Ming really has no way to take the city defense army.

The enemy's city walls have fallen, but the preface of the mercenary army at this time is mostly incapacitated, and the entire front army has lost its combat effectiveness in some way. And this former army is mainly composed of the first division of Snow Wolf, which is the capital of Snow Wolf's start.

"The 1st Division stayed, and the 2nd Division bypassed the 1st Division and attacked Kaesong directly. The rest of the divisions followed. A few Sages, please kill the Holy Magic Master. Kong Ming did not lose his due calm because of the situation in front of him, this situation has been too much for him, but the fighter plane is only once, once he has a little time. Let the enemy reorganize the ranks, then it will be many times more difficult to attack, and now the enemy's city lord is obviously no longer able to command the army, whether he is dead or alive, now the only way is to attack. is the biggest solution. The arrows of the Arrow Saint and several Great Archers kept beckoning at the Holy Magister's body, leaving him to take care of himself. The second division directly bypassed the people of the first division. Advance towards Kaesong Attack. At this time, it should have been irresistible, but to the surprise of Kong Ming and all the mercenaries, they encountered the hardest battle so far. Although the city defense army is not in command, they are still very engaged in the battle, which makes the mercenary army extremely uncomfortable in the battle in the whole city. Because of the loss of the city gate, the other city walls also lost their effect, and all the city defense troops rushed to the breached city gate under the leadership of the rest of the officers, and at this time. The battle took place in the first street of the city.

Kong Ming stood on top of a high tower, where he could see the battle progress of the whole city, and only here could he best understand the entire battle situation.

"Commander, there's a huge magic fluctuation in the south of the city, look!" one of the observers shouted from the side. Kong Ming followed his finger and looked over, and many fireballs appeared on this side of the south side of the city, which was a low-level version of the magic fireball falling from the sky, the Great Fireball Technique, but even this kind of magic was not something that ordinary third-level swordsmen could take. Just when Kong Ming was worried, the communication over there came with the news, it turned out that the mercenary army was difficult to attack, so he directly asked several magicians to work together to perform this magic and wipe out the city defense army there, and in this way, the defense of the city defense army tore a hole, allowing the people of the second division to rush in. This is happening throughout the city. For a whole day, Kong Ming watched calmly there, and constantly commanded the reserves to support the battle in all directions.

"This time it's really kicked on the iron plate!" Kong Ming sighed.

"Of course, this city lord is known as Harvey's military general, I heard that he had a very brilliant battle history, and then he was old and asked for such a position to retire, and many of these people are soldiers who came with him or descendants of soldiers, extremely loyal and extremely strong in combat. It is said that it was once Harvey's benchmark. Yi Yiyi whispered. Maybe it was because he knew that Kong Ming was in a bad mood, or maybe this kind of scene was too depressing, and all Yi Yiyi's character actually had nothing to say for a long time.

"Who said that?" asked Kumei. Now that the battle has been going on for two hours, I think there are some things that should be figured out.

"A captive said that he fought with this city lord all his life, and later went to this city with the city lord to retire. Yi Yi replied.

"What's the name of that city lord?" Kong Ming then asked.

"Pang Yiran. ”

"It turned out to be him, so it's no wonder, if it weren't for the fact that he sent a holy demon master to make a sneak attack, and our reaction was beyond their expectations, we wouldn't have been able to win!" Kong Ming sighed.

"You know him?" Yi Yiyi wondered, how could a person like Kong Ming know such a person?

"I once read his book 'On the Defense of the Fortified City', and it was really eye-opening for me to have a lot of insights in it, and it was also an eye-opener for me to have his unique views on combat. Kong Ming sighed, he really didn't expect that meeting such a famous general in such a border city was not only a deep way to govern the army, but also an amazing general.

"It seems that I have not been wronged!" A voice came from below, Kong Ming looked back, and saw Lu Hai with a few great sword masters pressing an old man up, big sword master, ordinary people look like they are in their seventies, but Kong Ming knows that according to this appearance and strength, this person has lived for at least three hundred years. An ordinary seventh-level powerhouse can live to be four hundred and fifty years old without pain or disease, but it seems that a person like him should be more than three hundred years old.

"Commander, this person is Pang Yiran, the city lord of Kaecheng. It's this old guy who has caused my soldiers to lose so much. Lu Hai said fiercely on the side. This loss is too great, and he has not come back to his senses until now.

"How's the loss?" Kong Ming's brow furrowed.

"Nearly 1,000 people died, more than 5,000 were injured, and there are less than 4,000 left, and there are not a few snow wolves dead, only more than 100 have died on the side near the city, and the injured have not been counted for the time being. He's numb, it's really a wretch!" Lu Hai said while scolding.

"Can you save face?" said the old man calmly.

"Old man, what face do you have?" Lu Hai shouted at him. Kong Ming stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "What face?"

"You tell your people to stop, and I make them surrender. That way, you can take Kaesong, and I can keep more soldiers alive. Pang Yiran said calmly, in his opinion, this is a very beneficial thing for Kong Ming, Kong Ming should agree, but he was wrong, and it was very wrong, Kong Ming ignored him at all, or looked at him quietly, without words. Everyone thought it was very strange when they saw it, and Kong Ming's usual practice had already ordered the mercenaries to stop, but Kong Ming didn't do this, could it be that Kong Ming didn't have any opinion of this person?

"What, what conditions are too difficult to achieve?" Pang Yiran said calmly, he had seen too many similar things in his long life. But in the end, he will lose in the interests of the good, and he still does it today, and he believes that he will succeed.

"I've read your book "On the Defense of Jiancheng", it's very exciting!" Kong Ming didn't give an order, but said another thing.

"Hehe, then you are still one of my readers!" Pang Yiran was also very happy to hear Kong Ming praise himself, even if his soldiers were fighting now, he was still very calm, because he knew that his soldiers could stand up to the end of the negotiations between them.

"Because it was very exciting, when I was in the imperial capital, I went to find a lot of books about you, which were all descriptions of your life and battles, which were also very exciting. Kong Ming still ignored Pang Yiran's praise and continued.

"It seems that you know me very well!" Pang Yiran still smiled and said, no matter who hears the praise of others, he is always happy, not to mention the praise of the enemy, which is rare.

"I adore you very much!" Kong Ming sighed, everyone looked at this strange scene, they really didn't know why Kong Ming said this, if Kong Ming really worshiped him, then why didn't he stop the attack on Harvey City Defenses as soon as possible?

"Until one day, I saw such a story in a book at a local stall. In November 800 of Huali, Pang Yiran's army of 100,000 people attacked Meicheng of Yan Kingdom, it was dark and dark, the battle was carried out from morning to noon, Harvey's army broke through Meicheng, and the Yan army surrendered, and then, Pang Yiran killed all the more than 50,000 Yan troops who surrendered. In 817 years, Pang Yiran went out to conquer the Han Kingdom, led an army of 300,000, the two sides fought for River Town, which lasted three days, the Harvey army killed and wounded 100,000 people, and captured River Town, killing 150,000 Han troops and capturing 60,000 people, afterwards, Pang Yiran slaughtered 60,000 prisoners of war under the pretext of food shortage, and slaughtered more than 300,000 civilians in River Town under the pretext of not raising idlers. ......" Kong Ming calmly said Pang Yiran's past one by one, these things have long been forgotten for Pang Yiran, but let Kong Ming remember it so deeply, it was also very surprising for him, and the people next to him were even more surprised, I didn't expect that this ordinary old man in front of him was such a big devil. (To be continued......)
