Chapter 439: Kill as Soon as You Come Out

At worst, he would go and investigate the responsibility tomorrow morning. That was what he thought before hugging the beauty. Who knew that without noticing, the opponent had already arrived at the city wall.

How could they not be blocked? The city gate, which had been repaired and reinforced for more than ten years, was so vulnerable in front of the Panlong Army? "Close the palace gate, where are my generals!"

The Xi Ji Nation also wanted to assemble, but couldn't organize effective resistance. By dawn, two generals had died in battle, two were captured, and the rest, seeing the general trend was gone, led their troops back to the palace city, which was the inner city, and closed the city gate tightly.

The outer city had been broken, so defending the inner city to wait for reinforcements was still a feasible method. The palace city gate was even stronger than the outer city gate, and had more defensive arrays. Because the place was small and manpower was more concentrated, it was more convenient to defend.

Not to mention, the food in the palace was sufficient.

However, until the sun rose in the east, no reinforcements came.

Where were the garrison troops stationed in the western suburbs and the southern river valley, why didn't they come to relieve the siege! Otherwise, they could have attacked from inside and outside with the Royal Army and beaten back these Panlongcheng troops who had come from afar! No matter how angry Huyan Zhao was, no one around him gave an answer.

He carefully climbed onto the gate tower of the palace city and looked down, only to see that the fighting in the outer city was already sporadic, and the Panlongcheng army had completed its assembly and pressed down under the palace gate.

Most of these soldiers had blood on their armor, but the gaze they looked up with was as hungry as wolves, making the Xi Ji people on the gate tower feel cold in their hearts.

Above and below the palace gate, it fell into a rare silence.

The former general of Xi Ji stepped forward and shouted: "Who is the leader, come out and speak!"

The team below silently made way, and one person and one horse stepped forward. The rhythmic sound of horse hooves was like stepping on everyone's heart.

The person on the horse was in red armor, wearing a red ghost mask on his face. She looked up at the city wall, and Huyan Zhao, who was standing in the back row, felt that the ghost-faced person's gaze passed through the former general and landed directly on him.

The former general's momentum couldn't be lost: "Name yourself!"

A cold voice rang in the hearts of every Xi Ji person: "Panlongcheng, General Hong."

This didn't sound like the way humans spoke, and the former general choked: "Are you a monster?"

General Hong didn't entangle with him, but spoke directly to the new King: "Huyan Zhao, the garrison camps at the South Gate and the western suburbs have already been eliminated by my troops, the reinforcements you are waiting for will not come."

General Nanke and others had already split their troops to do this on the plains.

In the past few years, the surrounding small countries had all heard that a new general had risen in the Panlong Wasteland, invincible but cold-blooded. When the Xi Ji people heard that it was this person who came, their hearts sank.

Furthermore, saying that the reinforcements had all been wiped out, the palace city was isolated and helpless, everyone looked at each other, worried and afraid.

Huyan Zhao was furious, stepped forward two steps, ignoring the former general's obstruction and laughed: "Just two sentences of monster words, and you want to confuse my army's heart? General Hong is nothing more than this!"

General Hong said to herself: "Surrender now, I won't hurt you; if you resist stubbornly, the inner city will definitely be strewn with corpses."

"General Hong, I, Xi Ji, have no grievances with Panlongcheng, how dare you raid us!" Not talking about martial virtue! "You are blocking the way."

Huyan Zhao was stunned: "What?"

General Hong explained with a good temper: "We want to return to Western Luo Nation, and were blocked by you."

He Lingchuan, who was listening in the rear army, also felt ridiculous.

Clearly, Panlongcheng and Xi Ji had deep grievances, but General Hong chose the most irrelevant reason, was she afraid of not angering Huyan Zhao to death?

"You, you..." Huyan Zhao was so angry that he was speechless for a long time. For such an absurd reason, Panlongcheng destroyed Xi Ji? It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Don't you know how to borrow the way!"

General Hong didn't talk to him anymore: "Surrender, or wait for death?" Then she added another sentence, "If you surrender the whole city, you can still live in peace on the land of Xi Ji. Commander Zhong allows you to be a Marquis south of the Sui River on behalf of my Emperor."

There was a Sui River in the central and southern part of Xi Ji Nation. If the river was the boundary, there was a large piece of land in the south, occupying about one-third of the national territory. Zhong Shengguang's meaning was very clear: if Huyan Zhao surrendered immediately, although he wouldn't keep the Emperor's position, he could still sit on one-third of the original national territory and be a Marquis.

Huyan Zhao was so angry that he laughed when he heard this: "Good, good, giving me a title on my own land, Panlongcheng is really generous!"

General Hong didn't argue with him: "Three days later, I will come to ask again, and by then the promised land will be south of Tiaoshan Mountain."

South of Tiaoshan Mountain, that was one-third smaller than south of the Sui River.

Huyan Zhao's face turned iron-blue, and he shouted to the left and right: "Shoot him to death! Hurry up and release the arrows!"

The former general gave an order, and a rain of arrows fell from the city gate.

The team below had long been prepared, raising shields to meet them.

Aiming to kill the enemy and behead them, more than half of the Xi Ji people's arrows were aimed at her. He Lingchuan, who was in the rear, saw the sky full of arrows suddenly arrive, and also squeezed a cold sweat for General Hong.

In this kind of large-scale war, the space for individuals to play is limited.

Which knew that General Hong didn't dodge or block, and didn't even raise her long spear.

The dense arrows were all aimed at her, but for some reason, they all missed, shooting the ground into a hornet's nest, which looked very spectacular, but in reality, the closest arrow was three feet away from her.

The former general's eyes moved, and he grabbed the big bow himself: "Shoot again!"

Another rain of arrows, and the former general's arrows were also mixed in, and it was two shots in a row.

One in front and one behind.

He guessed that General Hong used some illusions, or secret techniques to shift the light, so the arrows aimed at her didn't hit.

The former general shot these two arrows just to calculate how big the error value was.

The Panlong Army below naturally wouldn't sit and be shot, counterattacking one after another.

However, shooting from below to above naturally had a disadvantage, and the opponent was hiding in the battlements.

General Hong wasn't in a hurry either, turned her horse's head, and the mount trotted backward.

Her order was to surround and attack slowly, kill as soon as you come out!

On the city wall, the former general shot two more arrows, still missing, but he had already estimated the angle, and bent his bow to shoot again.

However, in this gap, General Hong casually pulled a feather arrow from the shield of a soldier beside her, turned on the horse's back, and threw it backhanded like lightning! The arrow was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, and there was no sound, piercing into the former general's right eye.

In from the front and out from the back, exploding a flower of blood.

At this time, the people on the side heard a "xiu" sound of breaking through the air.

Huyan Zhao was so scared that he retreated three big steps in a row, and didn't dare to approach the city wall again.

The former general had the ability to tear tigers and leopards, how was his eyeball exploded by this ghost-faced person so casually?

She didn't even use a bow!

General Hong clapped her hands and ordered: "Don't let a single one out."

She left the Xi Ji Emperor on the city gate alone, went to deploy troops, and continued to pursue and suppress the scattered soldiers in the city.

The Panlong Army attacked in a hurry, although they had fought with the force of a thunderbolt, the victory came quite roughly. Now she wanted to reorganize the grid and eliminate the fish that slipped through the net and the hostile forces in the dark bit by bit.

She also assigned manpower to grab important strongholds such as granaries, armories, and horse farms to seize materials.

At the same time, General Hong also ordered people to post announcements to appease the people, strictly distinguishing between the people and the officials and the army, and implementing military supply rationing throughout the city.

Huyan Zhao and others were forced to close the palace city gate tightly in the morning, but the fighting in the Xi Ji capital actually lasted until the evening of the next day. Many Xi Ji scattered troops were separated from the main force in the chaotic battle and didn't have time to retreat into the palace, so they reassembled in the outer city and resisted stubbornly in the form of small, scattered street fighting.

They all wanted to join each other and go to relieve the King.

The elite of the Great Wind Army under General Hong's command, including He Lingchuan, bit them like a pack of wolves.

Only then could one see that General Hong's tactical application was extremely flexible, and she often anticipated the enemy's opportunities. The traps she laid were ones that let the enemy scramble to step on.

Street fighting was also a brand-new combat experience for He Lingchuan. This kind of narrow-road encounter and close-quarters combat tested both combat power and luck. After all, you really didn't know where the enemy would drill out from, or what tricks they would use to plot against you.

He Lingchuan saw a Great Wind Army soldier who was careless and was blown half a day high by the enemy. Before he landed, he could see his upper body and waist and legs directly separated.

This person was a member of Meng Shan's squad.

Meng Shan roared when he saw this, a wild bull charge, directly knocking down the two-foot-thick earth wall. The enemies behind the wall couldn't escape in time, one had his neck twisted by him, and the other was smashed by his leg, smashed three times in a row, and his brains were cracked.

Red and white liquid splashed on his face, Meng Shan was too lazy to wipe it, and when he turned his head, he happened to see He Lingchuan standing a few feet away, and immediately shouted: "Thirty-three and thirty-five!"

"What about thirty-four? Did you eat it?" This guy really couldn't count? He Lingchuan grinned at him, "Also, I've already finished off thirty-nine people!"

His method wasn't as brutal as Meng Shan's, but efficient, and the enemies were all deprived of their combat ability by him.

He Lingchuan said, turned and left, leaving Meng Shan furious and roaring at his teammates: "What are you stunned for, grab these cowardly rats and finish them!"

At this time, there were a few figures behind the door hole, raising their hands and coming out: "Don't kill, don't kill, we surrender!"

"One, two, three, four!" Meng Shan was overjoyed and asked his teammates, "Four surrendered, how many have we taken?"

"Thirty-eight." The teammate said cautiously, "Still one less than the Broken Blade Squad."

"Eh?"

Meng Shan's smile sank all of a sudden.

He Lingchuan jumped over the ruins and saw the seriously injured team member of Meng Shan's squad lying on the ground.

His waist and below were gone, and blood and internal organs flowed all over the ground.

This kind of injury was beyond help.

But he was still alive, looking at He Lingchuan and reaching out his hand with difficulty.

He Lingchuan stepped forward in two steps, grabbed it, and said in a deep voice: "I'm here, we're all here."

Liutiao and the others also walked over.

They all knew this person, who had toasted He Lingchuan at the restaurant not long ago. Heard that his family's house had been upgraded this year, and he had a cute sister.

Meng Shan's squad also rushed over, and seeing their teammate in such a miserable state, their faces also sank.

The wounded man said something, his voice was weak, He Lingchuan leaned close to his ear and barely heard two words:

"... go home..."
