How were they supposed to fight this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t win. Absolutely couldn’t win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Revolutionary Army advanced like a steady, massive wave, nearing the city walls; before even launching a furious assault, the Western Xia defenders had already scattered like dead leaves swept by autumn wind. Faced with the sharp guns and cannons of the Revolutionary Army, they felt as if trapped in endless darkness, their hearts filled with despair, unable to conceive any effective countermeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without lifting a finger, they easily seized Xingqing Prefecture. The city gates shattered in an instant; enemies surged in like a tidal wave, flooding the entire city. Overwhelmed by this sudden invasion, countless Western Xia people clamped their eyes shut in terror, as if trying to escape this cruel reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was a Kuanghuan  for these Mongols—everything in the city was theirs to plunder: gold, silver, cattle, sheep, women—all belonged to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who defied their will, anyone who caused them the slightest discomfort, was slaughtered without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this disciplined, advancing army, everyone froze, unsure what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Citizens ahead, please step aside. We are heading to the Western Xia imperial palace to capture Li Chunyou. The Revolutionary Army takes not a needle or thread from the common people. Fighting may break out in the city soon—please evacuate to the outskirts. We have prepared food and water for you outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Revolutionary Army’s courteous tone left them stunned—why were soldiers speaking so politely to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t they be threatening them with knives, shouting orders to get out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And saying the Revolutionary Army takes not a needle or thread? That must mean they take everything except a needle or thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They feared the Revolutionary Army would storm their homes, seize their money and grain, and steal everything they’d saved over years—but they feared the guns in the soldiers’ hands even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with these black barrels that could kill effortlessly, they had no choice but to obey; otherwise, these men would surely kill to make an example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless Western Xia people, gripped by terror, evacuated the city in orderly fashion under the Revolutionary Army’s direction. Meanwhile, the army systematically combed the city toward the Western Xia imperial palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they had taken Xingqing Prefecture, they had no intention of letting Western Xia’s ruler Li Chunyou escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they captured Li Chunyou in a civilian home. When the Revolutionary Army breached Xingqing, he had tried to flee—but the army had surrounded the city. He disguised himself as a commoner to slip out, but the Revolutionary Army had their own method: they isolated those with smooth skin, slender fingers, and upright spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, ordinary folk who spent their days exposed to sun and wind could never have such features. Gazing at the Western Xia ruler, Guo Jing dismounted and asked: “Li Chunyou, ever since I learned you lent troops to Temujin to launch a massive campaign against us, I’ve been puzzled—why did you attack us? Now look: you didn’t even defeat us, and now you’re captured alive. I truly don’t understand what you were thinking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Guo Jing spoke, the officers burst into laughter. Li Chunyou turned his face away and sneered: “If I don’t go now, you’ll have to personally lead your troops to fetch me later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing nodded. “I never imagined Western Xia, with three million people and fifty thousand troops, could be so easily crushed by our few tens of thousands. Fine—take him away. Keep him well-fed and well-cared for. He’ll need to appear at the public trial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Li Chunyou’s pupils shrank instantly, as if seized by invisible terror. His face turned deathly pale, beads of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He struggled violently, shouting: “No! You cannot treat me this way! I am the ruler of Western Xia, a descendant of the great Emperor Yi Zong! Even if you refuse to treat me with courtesy, you cannot subject me to trial by slaves and herdsmen! This violates propriety and law!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Guo Jing laughed bitterly. He seized Li Chunyou’s collar and snapped coldly: “Propriety? You dare speak of feudal filth like ‘propriety’ to me, a proletarian revolutionary soldier, a materialist? Let me tell you—our mission is to sweep all such filth into the trash heap of history.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You nobles and generals feast on grain and wealth stolen from laborers. You survive only because laborers feed you—what right do you have to look down on them? Without them, how could you sit atop luxury, clad in silk, feasting on delicacies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing’s voice was icy, his gaze like a blade fixed on Li Chunyou. Li Chunyou, the Western Xia ruler who had always lived in comfort and arrogance, now felt as if standing before the fangs of a primordial beast—his heart flooded with unprecedented terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Guo Jing grabbed Li Chunyou’s collar, an unmistakable stench of urine hit his nose. He frowned, looked down—and saw a pool of yellowish liquid on the ground, glaring under the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chunyou’s face turned ashen. He never imagined—this noble ruler of Western Xia—would piss himself in fear before Guo Jing’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing recoiled in disgust, flinging Li Chunyou away as if he’d touched something revolting. He frowned, pulled a handkerchief from his sleeve, and carefully wiped his hands, as if trying to erase the nauseating sensation entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply could not believe this once-mighty ruler was such a pathetic coward. He had expected Li Chunyou, even if not a brave warrior, to at least possess some resolve, some dignity. Reality had slapped him hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chunyou had been scared into urinating himself by a few words—this was unbelievable. Guo Jing’s revulsion and disappointment surged like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pathetic ruler had no dignity whatsoever—just looking at him made one ashamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take this bastard away. Don’t let him foul my sight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing sighed. To be fair, even this pathetic Western Xia ruler was better than the Song rulers—he’d led three million people against Song, which had tens of millions, and held his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How pathetic must the Song emperor and scholar-officials be? Yet he’d once harbored illusions about such cowards. Guo Jing stopped himself—he dared not think further, or he feared he’d slaughter every Western Xia scholar-official in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must stay calm. These men must be executed according to law.\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-06-20T13:48:22.834Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","545357876186fef1d5f56c7c198d59f1a2fbe16686677fc88bfcd6c782318c65","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-119","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-117",205,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
