Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Massacre of the City (3)
The gate of "Boom" Liuhai City was finally opened by the black armor soldiers, and the mighty black armor army outside the city swarmed towards Liuhai City with neat steps.
"But all who are alive, whether human or animal, are all killed, and the lord of the city is left to me. Men Liuting led a large army and rushed into the city on a high-headed horse, and then said coldly.
The black armor army behind him did not respond, as if they were emotionless machines, scattered and combined in an orderly manner, and after killing Han Weiliu and other soldiers defending the city, they broke in, killed, and burned them door to door.
The screams came and went, and the entire Liuhai City seemed to be in purgatory, and the black smoke from the burning in the city shrouded the sky of Liuhai City, forming huge dark clouds, blocking the sunlight from the clouds.
"City Lord, no, they broke in, and now they are burning outside. A butler-looking man who had broken into the City Lord's Mansion from outside panicked.
"What? Han Weiliu is really a wreck, even the bandits of Jiuyuan Island can't stop it, what about others?" Zhaoyunhe's forehead was full of sweat, and he was also panicked.
"Lord Han has died in the line of duty. The butler said.
"Good death, good death, what about the people under him?" asked Zhao Yunhe.
"All of them died in the line of duty. The butler bowed his head and said.
"Then what to do, so many of them can't resist the city wall, and I'm afraid we can't resist it. "The people of the major families on both sides of the country are talking to me.
"According to me, we should really lend our soldiers to Han Weiliu, after all, he is a guard, and he is better at fighting and defending the city. Another said.
"It's useless to talk so much now, let's think about how to deal with it for a while, as long as I can save the life of the whole family, I won't frown if I offer all the things outside my body. Another said.
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think, I heard that they are killing and burning from house to house, and I'm afraid that this action will slaughter the city. The butler poured cold water.
"Slaughtering the city, isn't it, this is a thing that goes against the sky?"
"Lord of the City, is there a secret passage in the mansion leading to the outside of the city?" a person stepped forward and said to Yunhe.
"No, we haven't even been a bandit in Liuhai City, why do you want to do a secret passage?" Zhaoyun River is also remorseful, at this time, there must be a secret passage, and a golden cicada will come out of its shell...... Alas, it's too late to say anything.
"Lord of the Castle, please give me some ideas. Everyone looked at Zhaoyunhe with expectant eyes.
"What can I do, wait for death. Zhao Yunhe said with some madness in his eyes.
"It's called, it's called. While everyone was arguing, there was a bustling cry outside the door, and the butler opened the door, and hurriedly beckoned the guards in the courtyard to guard the door, and the walls were also full of archers, and he slowly walked to the courtyard gate, and looked out through the crack in the door, only to see the soldiers in black armor blocking the streets and alleys in front and behind, and pressing forward step by step. The butler hurriedly retracted his gaze, and then ran quickly into the inner hall, shouting, "It's coming, it's really coming, think of a way." β
"Put down your weapons, open the door, and we surrender. Zhaoyun River Road, he thought to himself that as long as he could save his life at the moment, he would definitely go to Changkong Temple to bring powerful rescuers and recapture Liuhai City.
"It is futile to resist again, and this is the only way to do it. The crowd chimed in.
Everyone was relieved by this decision, since they couldn't resist, it was always okay to surrender, as long as the other party made conditions, no matter how difficult it was, they had to agree to it, after all, there was only one life.
Sure enough, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and all the soldiers guarding the palace had already put down their weapons in their hands and stood aside, waiting for the other party to surrender.
The Sixth Court of the Gate was also not polite, and led the black armor army into the City Lord's Mansion with a swagger, and when he saw this scene in the mansion, he couldn't help but provoke a stern smile on his lips.
"Come out. The sixth court shouted to the inner hall, and suddenly a lot of people came out of it, and those who could enter the inner hall were all characters with heads and faces in Liuhai City.
Looking at the rows of lowered heads in front of him, the Sixth Court of the Gate asked, "Who is the city lord?" β
Everyone hurriedly raised their heads, as if they were afraid of being misidentified, and then pointed to Zhaoyun River in unison: "He is the city lord." β
"Okay, don't say I won't give you a chance, as long as you can hurt me, I'll spare your life, how about it?" Men Liuting said to Yunhe.
"In ...... In the lower martial arts, I am afraid that I am not an adult opponent, Liuhai City is now in the hands of adults, as long as I can let me live, we will agree to whatever you say. Zhao Yunhe didn't dare to look at the eyes of the sixth court, and his two eyes stared at the ground randomly.
"Since you gave up this opportunity, then you're welcome. The Sixth Court of the Gate also said: "On the order of the island lord, the guards of Liuhai City resisted stubbornly, did not listen to the persuasion to surrender, damaged my good soldiers and good generals, and broke my right arm, this revenge is really unbearable, so today I Jiuyuan Island will slaughter all the living beings in the city, and the city lord of Liuhai City will be dismantled in eight pieces, hanging in all directions of the city tower, in order to comfort the souls of countless martyrs on the island. β
Hearing the words of Door Liuting, everyone present was stunned, originally seeing him and amiable to come in, thinking that he could still win his life, but he didn't expect it to be such a scene.
"We didn't resist, we have surrendered. β
"As far as I know, your island hasn't lost any soldiers, has it?"
"Whatever you want, we'll give it all to you, why do you want to kill them all?" shouted the people of several major families.
And Zhaoyun River, at this time, has already softened into a puddle of flesh, sitting on the ground with no eyes. Those soldiers who had already put down their weapons heard that the Sixth Courtyard was about to open a killing ring, so they intended to pick up their blades and make a last fight, but how could the Black Armor Army, who had already been prepared, give them this opportunity, as soon as the voice of the Sixth Courtyard fell, the blades of the Black Armor Army had already slashed at their heads.
But in the blink of an eye, the screams in the courtyard suddenly sounded, and then stopped abruptly, followed by a dead silence, only the sound of gurgling blood was heard from the corpses all over the ground, and the sixth court of the door immediately stepped forward, took Zhaoyunhe in his hand, and dragged him towards the city tower. Zhaoyunhe's eyes were blank, as if he was already a dead man.
"Tell the island lord that the gate commander has taken Liuhai City. A guard walked up behind Zhongshan Ceyun and reported.
Zhongshan Ceyun stood at the bow of the boat, nodded after listening to the report, withdrew his gaze, and said: "Tell him, act according to the plan, the next target is Caiyue City, and ask him to take it within three days, treat the prisoners preferentially, and not hurt a single person." β
"Yes," the guard ordered to retreat.
"Lord, it's time for us to go. After the guard left, a person came out of the cabin, wearing a thick cloak, his lips were a little chapped and white, and his face was ugly, but his eyes were still sharp and bright, and this person was Hamayuki.
"The doctor said that your condition is now a critical time, and you need to recuperate, and the wind is very up-and-down, which is not good for your condition. Zhongshan Ceyun saw Binxue come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up.
"Then we should leave as soon as possible, and capture a few more cities earlier, so that I can go ashore and recuperate earlier. Hamayuki said with a smile, looking like she was safe and sound.
Although there is some truth in Hama's words, Zhongshan Ceyun knows that he said it on purpose, Hama's illness still needs to be recuperated more, and if it drags on, I am afraid that it will not be good for his life, but the opportunity is fleeting.
The original plan was for the Gate Six Court to take Liuhai City and then take Caiyue City directly, complete the plan of Dewei and Shi, and then bluff to attract the main forces of the surrounding and even Changkong Temple to come to support, while he and Hamayuki took the real main force of Jiuyuan Island from the sea to the rear to take advantage of the situation, and took them by surprise, if this timing is not well mastered, not only will the Gate Six Court be in danger, but the plan of Jiuyuan Island to gain a foothold in the Central Plains will become more difficult to implement, after all, they have no backup, and all the people of Jiuyuan Island have been dispatched, which is a desperate gambleγ
But even so, there was still a hint of hesitation on Zhongshan Ceyun's face, compared to several cities, Bin Xue Cheng had a higher status in his heart, because as long as Bin Xue Cheng lived, there would be more cities.
"The newspaper is the herald of the commander. Just when Zhongshan Ceyun hesitated, there was a sound of announcement, and he looked back with Binxue Cheng, feeling a little bad in his heart.
"Qiyu Island Lord, Military Division, and General Commander ordered his subordinates to report urgently, Qi Suyu and many martial arts people have escaped from prison and left the island, please let the island owner and military advisor know. The herald reported.
"Ke Wuchou, this is a big thing that will hurt me. Zhongshan Ceyun's eyes narrowed after hearing this, and a faint killing intent diffused from his eyes, and asked, "Where have the others gone?"
"Back to the island owner, it should take about a day and a half to arrive. "The herald said.
Zhongshan Ceyun pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and motioned for the herald to retreat.
"Half a day earlier than expected. "Hama Snow Ride.
"You say, what should I do with Ke Wuwu this time. Zhongshan Ceyun didn't take the words of the snow ride, but asked.
"This is the matter of the island owner's royal affairs, and Xue Cheng does not dare to say anything. Bin Xuecheng knew that Zhongshan Ceyun's words were also a little tentative, you must know that Ke Wuchou has always been not interested in himself, and if he falls into the well at this time, it will seem like a villain.
"He can't escape the death penalty this time, especially for Qi Suyu to escape. "Zhongshan Ceyun Road.
"The island owner is angry, the punishment is definitely wanted, but you have to pay attention to the timing, he is in the position of the commander, this is the time to employ people, if the island owner will put him to death, I am afraid it will shake the heart of the army, presumably the commander has committed this catastrophe, and will be more careful in the future, the island owner might as well let him wear the guilt and make meritorious service, and wait for the completion of the great cause, and then count the merits and demerits, rewards and punishments. Hamayuki advised.
"Well, that's all there is to it. Zhongshan Ceyun sighed, if you want to change to usual, Ke Wuchou is definitely no way to live, but now that the war has started, he is the commander, not to mention that the soul guard is still dominated by him, no one can be less Ke Wuchou, he asked about Binxue Cheng is just trying to find a ladder to go down the steps.
"Fortunately, it's too late for the people from the four major factions to come back, as long as we advance the plan half a day, the battle situation will still be fine. "Hama Snow Ride.
Zhongshan Ceyun nodded, and immediately called someone to inform the Sixth Court.
"Island master, then we can't delay here, we must set off immediately. Hamayuki said again.
"yes, I'm afraid I'm going to make you suffer a little bit. Zhongshan Ceyun said with a smile on his face, as if he had completely forgotten what had happened.
Hamayuki shook her head with a smile and pulled the thick cloak on her shoulders a little tighter.
