The iron cavalry swept away, and with only one wave of charge, it broke through the gates of the city lord's mansion and trampled the guards who dared to resist to death under the hooves of the horses. The rest of the servants, slaves and maids kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Bai Wen had already issued a strict order not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and the vanguard army strictly abided by it. It's just that these people were imprisoned in the room, and the troops were divided to control the internal and external defense of the entire city lord's mansion, but after searching inside and out, Bai Wen didn't find the city lord Wang Ji.

Bai Wen found the housekeeper in the house and asked, "Where is Wang Ji?"

The steward was hesitant and refused to say it clearly.

Staff officer Li Yi drew his sword and pressed it against the butler's throat, "Say!"

"In ······ The city lord went there last night and didn't return all night. ”

"I guess he's right there!" Li Yi sneered, "Lead the way!"

The housekeeper trembled, led Bai Wen and the others, walked through the city, and came to the door of a brothel.

The interior of the Pavilion was brightly lit, but the door was closed.

Li Yi ordered the soldiers to surround the brothel before ordering people to break down the door.

The soldier knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Only then did a few people turn over and get on their horses, hug a log together, flick the reins, and rush out together, wrapping the log and crashing into the gate of Xiangya Pavilion.

With a loud bang, the door of the Xiangya Pavilion was smashed to pieces.

Everything inside was presented in front of Bai Wen's eyes.

In the middle of the palatial hall sat a middle-aged man of about thirty, with a thin body and a fair complexion. On the middle finger of his right hand is a ring set with a large red gemstone.

In the corner of the hall, several people were tied to pillars with ropes, all of them were sentries from the Wind Camp. One of them, Bai Wen is quite familiar, is Zhao Kaifeng. At this time, he was depressed and didn't dare to look at Bai Wen.

The housekeeper who led the way hurriedly stepped forward, walked to the middle-aged man's side, bowed and saluted, "City Lord!"

That middle-aged man was Wang Ji, the city lord of Qingshan City.

"Kneel down and die!" Wang Ji snorted coldly at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper knelt down, "The city lord spares ······"

Before he could explain, Wang Ji stretched out his right hand, and a flame whip stretched out out of thin air, entangled the butler, and threw the butler out of the hall with a flick of his hand. The butler turned into a burning man in the blink of an eye and burned to death outside the hall.

"The traitor who seeks to live, and dies before me stains my eyes. Wang Ji didn't look at the housekeeper who had been with him for several years, clapped his hands, and said to Bai Wen, "Fortunately, it's General Bai Wen?"

"That's right!" Bai Wen lifted his helmet, "Did the city lord choose to meet me in the brothel?"

The city was forced, alone surrounded by enemy troops, and he could still look indifferent, Bai Wen admired the courage of the middle-aged man in front of him.

"I don't like the decoration of the City Lord's Mansion, which is why I often hang out in brothels like Xiang Ya Ge. It's a coincidence that I met the general here, but it's better than in the City Lord's Mansion, are you right?" Wang Ji pointed to a few people in the corner and said, "It just so happens that I have prepared some small gifts as a meeting gift this time!"

"I accepted this gift of yours!" Bai Wen waved his hand and asked the soldiers to untie Zhao Kaifeng and the others, "What do you want in return?"

"Don't dare!" Wang Ji said humbly, "Wangshan County has been taken by your army, and I know that you will attack Pingling County sooner or later, and Qingshan City will bear the brunt." ”

"Knowing this, you should be on guard, why are the guards so lax?" Li Yi couldn't help but interject and asked.

Wang Ji glanced at him and said, "Qingshan City is not a strong city, and I am not good at military affairs, even if I forcibly defend, except for the loss of soldiers, it will not help, but I will fight with your army." ”

"So you're deliberately not defending and letting us take advantage of the situation to attack the city?" Li Yi said.

"Qingshan City has few small soldiers, and I didn't expect your army to sneak attack at night, resulting in the defeat of the city, but it's not that I was negligent in taking precautions. Wang Ji said.

"In terms of duties, you have not failed the Singularity Empire, what a city lord should do, you have done it. Bai Wen nodded.

"In business, I have done my duty, and the destruction of Qingshan City is also a helpless thing. Wang Ji was relieved.

"So you tied up these people for personal matters?" Bai Wen asked.

"I didn't mean to capture them, but I was talking to Miss Qiuya last night when these people suddenly broke in, and I had to take them down. After questioning, I learned that they were the sentinels of your army. I think it was because of their meritorious service that they wanted to capture me as a hostage, so that Qingshan City would surrender without a fight. Wang Ji talked eloquently, Zhao Kaifeng and the others lowered their heads, not daring to look at Bai Wen, obviously everything was as he said.

"It's the subordinates who are greedy for merit, so they act rashly. As the leader, Zhao Kaifeng is to blame.

"What do you want if you return these people to me now?" Bai Wen didn't plan to investigate Zhao Kaifeng's responsibility, and asked Wang Ji directly.

"I am a third-order magician, with your country's favorable conditions for magicians, my net worth and life are naturally safe!" Wang Ji only said his true purpose at this time, "However, I am from the Wang clan of Pingling City, these people should be regarded as a vote to protect the Wang clan after the destruction of Pingling City, can I?"

Bai Wen looked at Wang Ji strangely, the person in front of him almost deliberately gave away Qingshan City, but what he said was reasonable; he was obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, and he was cowardly before fighting, but he didn't look so unbearable to protect the righteousness of the family.

"If you are *, you have to build an archway!" Bai Wen said secretly in his heart, with unspeakable disgust.

But a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "If the Wang clan wants to surrender, just send someone to say hello, why do you need to vote for the name? On the day when Pingling City is broken, you can ensure that your Wang clan is worry-free." ”

"General Bai said this, and I will be relieved in the future!" Wang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and in exchange for the old bustard of Xiangyage, he said: "This is the vanguard general of the Dragon Wing Legion, hurry up and call out all the most iconic girls." ”

"No need!" Bai Wen immediately stopped Wang Ji, "I still have something to do, you can play by yourself!"

Bai Wen didn't want to stay in a brothel with his captives, and if this got out, Bai Wen's reputation would be ruined.

"Send troops to guard here, before the main force of the Chinese army arrives, Wang Ji must not leave Xiangya Pavilion. Bai Wen turned around and walked out of the brothel and said to Li Yi, "After pacifying the chaos in the city, let the soldiers of the vanguard army divide into two squads and take turns patrolling the entire Qingshan City. ”

"Yes. Li Yiying said, "I have already dispatched all the teams, and I have divided my troops to guard all the key points in the city, and Qingshan City is already in the hands of our army." Just wait for the follow-up troops to come and take over. ”

"Good. Bai Wen nodded, "Our follow-up troops will reach Qingshan City as soon as tonight, and tomorrow morning at the latest." When they arrive, Aoyama City will be handed over to them. The cavalry units rested for the day, and tomorrow at noon they would march and attack the next city. ”

"Yangshan City is more than two hundred miles away from here, and the city defense is strong, so it is probably not appropriate to attack the city with only cavalry troops. Li Yi said, "My subordinates suggested that mixed troops should be used to coordinate the siege of the city. ”

"The news of the battle report is transmitted very quickly, and the march is too slow with mixed troops, and when they arrive in Yangshan City, they will already be prepared, and the daylilies are cold!" Bai Wen said.

"The general plans to repeat his old tricks?" asked Li Yi.

"You don't have to worry about this, in short, the soldiers are fast, the sooner we open the road to Pingling City, the sooner we will take all the land of Pingling County. Bai Wen smiled, looking confident.

"Okay!" Li Yi bowed, ready to dispatch the cavalry, and suddenly turned around and said, "General, before I came out, I saw that there were a few people in Xiangya Pavilion who were in good shape, do you want me to arrange them and send them to the City Lord's Mansion?"

"No!" Bai Wen waved his hand directly, refusing very simply, but in his eyes, there were two more points of praise for Li Yi.

This kid is really going to do something!

Bai Wen rode the Flowing Wind Leopard and inspected Qingshan City to confirm that the security was in place before returning to the City Lord's Mansion. specially summoned Zhao Kaifeng, and during the time they were in the wind camp, Zhao Kaifeng was half a level higher than Bai Wen. Now that they meet again, Bai Wen is already a commander at the level of the chief general of the legion. Zhao Kaifeng looked at Bai Wen, and he only had envy.

Although the two had an unpleasant quarrel before, Bai Wen even injured Zhao Kaifeng, but this time Bai Wen saved him in a few words, Zhao Kaifeng was grateful, and the two of them were relieved.

Bai Wen specially rewarded Zhao Kaifeng and others with some wine and food, and after they were full of wine and food, he ordered them to go on the road quickly, go to Yangshan City to listen to the news, and agree on the code and place of contact.
