Chapter 714

"Charge!"

Following his voice.

The Great Han iron cavalry behind him galloped toward the city once more.

At this moment, the Heavenly Scorpion Divine Concubine had just stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion.

When she saw the Great Han's iron hooves rolling toward her.

Her face turned pale; she didn't even have the strength to dodge.

"Han Emperor, I am the younger brother of the God King.

Do you intend to commit fratricide!"

Her voice contained anger, mixed with a few traces of fear.

"Hmph, Zhao Xing has already been driven away. Now this Divine Dynasty is mine, and you are no exception!"

Liu Zheng's cold voice rang out.

Afterward, he slapped out with one palm.

The void shattered, and violent gusts of wind whistled out.

The Heavenly Scorpion Divine Concubine had no time to react.

She was blasted to death on the spot.

This scene caused the Great Xia soldiers who had followed her to change their expressions drastically.

Their bodies were trembling.

The Heavenly Scorpion Divine Concubine, as a princess of Great Han,

was like a god in their hearts.

But now, she had been directly blasted to death by the Han Emperor.

How could they not be terrified?

"Han Emperor, spare us! We are willing to surrender!"

They immediately knelt on the ground.

Liu Zheng waved his hand.

Signaling that they could surrender.

After all, he did not need that many troops.

Then, he gave his instructions.

"Cao Cao Zhengchun, take men to blockade the entire Heavenly Scorpion City.

No one is allowed to enter or leave.

Especially Zhao Xing, you must capture him for me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cao Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.

Then, he led the army away.

On the other side, Zhao Xing, who was fleeing toward the outside of the city, had a look of despair on his face.

If, when Liu Zheng had just entered Heavenly Scorpion City,

he still had hope of escaping.

But now, there were no more reinforcements in the city.

He knew in his heart that Great Zhou would definitely destroy Great Xia.

Now, it was just a matter of time.

And just as he arrived at the city wall.

The Great Han soldiers had already begun to attack the city.

Scaling ladders were set up, and peerless crossbow arrows were fired.

Screams rang out.

Those defending the city were simply unable to withstand a single blow.

After a short time, they were all dead.

Seeing such a scene, Zhao Xing became even more desperate.

At this moment, he knew he had nowhere left to go.

The Great Xia Royal City had been destroyed.

And the commoners in the city had long since fled.

Under such circumstances, there was only one path: to break through the encirclement, perhaps there was still a hope of survival.

Thinking of this, he drove his war chariot toward the city.

When the chariot collided with the city wall.

It shattered instantly.

And Zhao Xing's figure was in a sorry state.

Although his strength was powerful.

But unfortunately, in front of Great Zhou, it really didn't count for much.

"Kill!"

Zhao Xing, who had just flown down, had not yet made a move.

Several fierce generals had already greeted him.

They held sharp blades.

And charged toward him.

In an instant, they had surrounded Zhao Xing.

Such a scene filled Zhao Xing's eyes with shock.

Then, he shouted without delay.

"Hold them off for me, or I will kill you all!"

As his voice rang out, those defending the city were somewhat hesitant.

At this moment, Zhao Xing did not hesitate.

He reached out his palm, and a long spear appeared in his hand.

His cultivation base had reached the second level of the God King realm.

He swept out with his spear, instantly smashing the nearest fierce general into a pulp of meat.

This scene caused the surrounding guards to gasp in cold air.

However, they immediately shouted.

"Charge! We swear to protect the Sovereign to the death!"

After his voice fell.

Countless soldiers charged toward the city wall.

However, just at this moment, Liu Zheng's voice rang out.

"Prepare the crossbows!"

Upon hearing this.

Cao Cao Zhengchun did not dare to delay.

He commanded the soldiers to begin firing arrows.

In an instant, dense feathered arrows poured down onto the city.

Following the sound.

The Great Xia soldiers in the city suffered heavy losses in an instant under such a rain of arrows.

Within a short time, they were piled up like a mountain.

A look of horror appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.

Such attack power was simply too powerful.

And at this moment, he had no way to stop it.

Because every one of the Great Zhou generals had a cultivation base that surpassed his own.

Just at this moment.

Liu Zheng's figure had already appeared on the city wall.

His gaze was cold.

He looked at Zhao Xing and said slowly.

"Zhao Xing, from today on, you shall be the City Lord of Heavenly Scorpion City!

Are you willing to pledge your loyalty to me!"

His voice rang out.

Zhao Xing dared not have the slightest hesitation.

He immediately said.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Now, he had no room for choice.

He could only agree.

Liu Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then turned and stepped down.

And Zhao Xing remained on the city wall to pacify the commoners.

Now, in Heavenly Scorpion City.

Except for the Great Xia soldiers, it had been completely occupied by the Han Emperor.

Others could not stir up any trouble.

And just after Liu Zheng had left.

Cao Cao Zhengchun walked out once again.

His eyes were flashing with sharp light.

Then, he said.

"Zhao Xing, you lead a team and follow me to Great Xia.

Remember, if you encounter any resistance, kill them directly!"

After his voice fell, he disappeared from the spot.

Although Zhao Xing felt resentful in his heart, he could only act according to Cao Cao Zhengchun's instructions.

0 ... ...

At this moment, Liu Zheng did not know any of this.

He stood on the dragon carriage, overlooking the surroundings.

In Heavenly Scorpion City at this moment.

The Great Han soldiers were rapidly collecting the corpses.

Clearly, they intended to take everything away.

Whether it was gold, silver, and treasures, or ordinary grain and medicinal herbs.

Great Zhou moved everything away, leaving nothing behind.

And Liu Zheng set up a temporary camp outside the city.

In the following time, the army began to rest and recuperate.

Not only did Zhao Xing reunite with the army.

Cao Cao Zhengchun even found a wealthy village.

And sent a large amount of grain and supplies to their homes.

Allowing those ordinary old, weak, women, and children to receive protection.

Under such circumstances, Liu Zheng was very satisfied with Cao Cao Zhengchun.

The other's performance could be said to be very good.

However, he understood in his heart that if there was no sufficient strength to rely on.

He feared that changes would occur again soon.

After all, the value of these civilians far exceeded Liu Zheng's expectations.

Moreover, he did not believe that he had an obligation to protect these people.

However, just at this moment.

Cao Cao Zhengchun walked hurriedly into the camp tent.

He said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, after Zhao Xing received your order.

He was the first to open the city gate.

Now he is leading the army toward the Great Xia Dynasty.

At the same time, he sent out a signal.

Saying he is willing to submit to our Great Han.

Now, he has already dispatched an envoy to request an audience!"

"Hmm, that's not bad. Since that's the case, let him have an audience!"

Liu Zheng said with a smile.
