Chapter 565: Song Army Defeated

Seeing Murong Longcheng's gaze, all the Shaolin Temple monks looked at Xuanku.

"Amitabha. This poor monk is willing to lead the Shaolin Temple monks to submit to the Great Han Empire!"

Xuanku felt everyone's gaze, stepped forward a few steps, and lowered his proud head to Liu Bian.

So many people had died, and even the powerful Sweeping Monk was no match for Liu Bian.

If Xuanku did not surrender, there was only the path of disbanding.

And Shaolin had been passed down for hundreds of years; he could not let Shaolin be destroyed in his hands.

"Good. Since that is the case, the Shaolin Temple will submit to our Great Han Empire from now on and accept the management of the Great Han Imperial Court."

"All Shaolin Temple monks must abide by our Great Han laws; if anyone dares to violate them, they will be severely punished according to Great Han law."

Seeing the Shaolin Temple submit, Liu Bian said to the Shaolin monks with majesty.

"This poor monk will strictly follow Your Majesty's holy decree!"

Hearing this, all the Shaolin Temple monks looked solemn and responded with grave faces.

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, he looked at Xuanku and said with majesty:

"Now, the Shaolin Abbot is not in the temple. As for where he went, I know it very well."

Hearing Liu Bian's words, the hearts of all the Shaolin monks that had just relaxed were suddenly raised again.

Their Shaolin Temple Abbot, Xuanci, had gone to Xiangyang to resist the Han army with those Jianghu forces, had he not?

Ignoring the somewhat panicked Shaolin group, Liu Bian continued to say to Xuanku:

"From now on, you will serve as the Abbot of this Shaolin Temple."

"As for Xuanci, since he has set himself against the Great Han, he must pay the price for his actions."

Following Liu Bian's solemn voice, Xuanku immediately responded respectfully:

"This poor monk will strictly follow Your Majesty's holy decree!"

……

At the same time, Lü Bu and the others had already reached the foot of Xiangyang City.

Although the current Xiangyang City was slightly different from the one in the Shen Diao world,

the geographical location was the same.

This point made Lü Bu and the others have to marvel at the wonders of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

"Fellow Daoists, now is the critical moment of life and death for Xiangyang City."

"If we cannot stop the Han army's attack, our Great Song will be in danger."

At this time, in the City Lord's Manor of Xiangyang City, Murong Fu was saying to a group of Jianghu powerhouses with a solemn face.

However, whether his heart was truly thinking for the Great Song or for himself was unknown.

"Young Master Murong is right. I believe you have already understood the strength of the Han army."

"Our Great Song soldiers are indeed somewhat lacking compared to these Han army soldiers."

At this time, Zhong Shidao, who was sitting in the main seat, heard Murong Fu's words and said to the people in the hall with a solemn face.

For a long time, everyone had understood the strength of the Han army.

Although they did not know the specific strength, they had a rough guess in their hearts.

One must know that during this period, they had sent many scouts to the Han army to gather information.

But regrettably, all these people had lost contact and disappeared without a trace.

Even the martial arts experts of the Jianghu forces had disappeared quite a few.

Therefore, they guessed that there must be powerful martial arts experts sitting in the Han army.

This was also the reason why Zhong Shidao gathered these Jianghu forces to resist the Han army together.

"General Zhong is right. Only by working together can we resist the Han army."

A group of Jianghu people heard Zhong Shidao's words and all said in agreement.

At this time, in the Han army camp outside the city, Lü Bu, Ma Chao, Taishi Ci, and Gan Ning were launching an attack on Luoyang City.

The four of them led their respective soldiers, each responsible for one city gate, and launched an attack on Xiangyang City from four directions.

"Everyone, the Han army is starting to attack the city."

"Currently, there are 600,000 troops in Xiangyang City. With such strength, plus everyone's help, this General believes we can definitely hold Xiangyang and repel the Han army."

Zhong Shidao said to everyone with a solemn face and was the first to walk toward the city tower.

The rest of the Jianghu people followed closely behind toward the city tower.

"Spirit Stone Cannons, prepare. After blasting open the city gate, the army will immediately charge into the city."

Following the military orders of Lü Bu and the four, the Han army soldiers outside the four city gates of Xiangyang City took out the Spirit Stone Cannons.

After a few roars, the four city gates of Xiangyang City collapsed.

Zhong Shidao and the group of Jianghu people on the city tower were all shocked.

They did not expect that the Han army would have such terrifying weapons.

"Quick, everyone immediately get off the city tower; you must guard the city gate!"

Zhong Shidao was the first to react and shouted loudly to everyone.

Zhong Shidao's roar instantly woke everyone up, and the group of Jianghu people jumped off the city tower one after another.

"Die!"

"Dang!"

"What, these Han army soldiers are actually so powerful!"

At this time, a disciple of a Jianghu force was slashed away by a Han army soldier.

After landing, this person said in shock.

"Everyone be careful, these Han army soldiers are all at the sixth layer of the Postnatal Realm or higher! The enemy cannot be resisted; everyone find a way to break out!"

At the same time, the leaders of the major sects also discovered the cultivation of the Han army soldiers and shouted loudly to their disciples.

"What, these Han soldiers are so powerful! Run!"

Those with low cultivation heard this and were all shocked, hurriedly fleeing toward the rear.

For a time, the group of Jianghu forces was chased and killed by the Han army soldiers.

As for those Song army soldiers, they were even more miserable; no one was a match for the Great Han soldiers.

Countless Song army soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

"It's over! It's over!"

"This battle is not a crime of war!"

"With such a powerful enemy, Heaven wants to destroy our Great Song!"

Zhong Shidao looked at the Song army soldiers constantly falling at the hands of the Han army and said in despair.

"Shenwu Army soldiers, take orders! Anyone who resists, kill without mercy!"

At this time, Lü Bu was slaughtering the enemy army in front of him while shouting loudly to the Shenwu Army soldiers.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The Shenwu Army soldiers heard this and shouted in unison.

"I surrender, don't kill me!"

The Song army soldiers, who had long been scared out of their wits, heard the words of the Shenwu Army soldiers and felt as if they had heard the sound of heaven, immediately throwing down their weapons and kneeling to beg for mercy.

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

At the same time, some disciples of Jianghu forces with low cultivation also knelt to surrender one after another.

Watching the Song army and their companions constantly falling, these disciples who had never seen the cruelty of the battlefield had long lost their will to fight.

"It's over! It's over!"

"The Great Song is over!" ===== CHAPTER 566 =====
