Chapter 2095: Chapter 200: Aid Arrives from Afar
In the tunnel of the city gate, a mass of people knelt in a dark swarm.
The fallen banner was picked up by that chubby general and casually stuck into the ground, showing so flamboyance.
The battle ended quickly.
This reinforcent that truly ca from Shaokang Mansion entered the city with high morale, ready to help defend it and engage in a fierce battle, but ended up being trapped like turtles in a jar… and they were the turtles.
The captors were a troop also wearing Shaokang Mansion military uniforms.
Jiang Wang decapitated the general with one face-off, Zhongxuan Sheng led his troops to a few random interspersions, and the formation of the troop was disrupted. Ballistae were mounted on high walls… then it was just waiting for them to surrender.
With the chaos in Linwu Mansion, the geographic position of Ximing City, being the southernmost city of Linwu Mansion, beca increasingly crucial.
The reinforcents from Sumr Country coming from the direction of Huiming and Feng Li almost always had to pass through here.
So needed a brief rest here to replenish supplies, while others just passed by on the official way outside the city.
Of course, the current Ximing City, being warm and hospitable, would never let any reinforcents pass through unscathed.
Those who entered the city to replenish supplies stayed right there. Those who weren’t planning to replenish were detained after a few polite words from the Ximing City garrison commander.
Zhongxuan Sheng indeed achieved what he said, fighting with his brains.
Clearly having an overwhelming advantage in combat strength against these small-scale Sumr Country troops, he constantly resorted to ambushes and attacks when they least expected it… like a strong man who always sneaks up behind and clubs a three-year-old child.
Because Zhongxuan Sheng orchestrated everything so ticulously, the fighting process was uneventful.
If calculated, since entering Linwu Mansion, the most difficult and strenuous ti for the Victory Camp was actually during the few days of marching.
This led to the problem…
“There’s no place left to imprison the captives!”
The Shadow Guard nad Qingzhuan reported this.
Before becoming Zhongxuan Sheng’s Shadow Guard, they were said to have been retired veterans from the army. They indeed demonstrated considerable military acun during this series of battles, sharing a lot of the pressure for Zhongxuan Sheng—much more than a certain lord who went to ditate on the city wall after killing soone.
A dozen or so Shadow Guards, each responsible for multiple tasks, almost as if one person was doing the work of a hundred.
But indeed, it was still not enough…
The Victory Camp of only three thousand n captured twenty thousand prisoners!
The guards aiding them included just over four thousand defected Ximing City garrison troops.
Using Xia Army to guard Xia Army, the potential risks are obvious for any sensible person.
Currently, it’s rely relying on the Victory Camp’s overwhelming force to suppress them, but the restless atmosphere has clearly been spreading in Ximing City.
Zhongxuan Sheng, on the other hand, acted nonchalant as if nothing was amiss, continuing to write and draw on paper by himself, diligently recording his achievents—
Securing three crucial cities without bloodshed, decapitated several thousands, including nurous officers, captured over twenty thousand Xia Army troops, altering the war situation in Linwu Mansion, and so on…
He wrote two copies in one sitting, using his personal seal. He tore off one page and handed it to Liu Yitao, the Ximing City garrison commander he appointed, standing respectfully at the side.
Then he called out, “Wang, it’s ti to leave!”
The crimson-gold light in Jiang Wang’s eyes faded, pausing his cultivation.
Shaking Light, also known as Pojun, was the star of the charging general.
The Star Tower established with martial prowess was richly nourished on the battlefield. Especially in such a decisive battle like Qi Xia, which could influence the position of supremacy, bringing various benefits to those under the Shaking Light star.
“Where to?” Jiang Wang asked.
While the fourth tower stood for the star of the general, pursuing the virtue of martial prowess, Jiang Wang clearly followed a path of personal martial prowess rather than worldly martial prowess. Trying to catch up with Zhongxuan Sheng’s military strategy was quite challenging…
Of course, beside this chubby man, Jiang Wang didn’t bother to rack his brains. No matter how much he pondered, he couldn’t match the man’s thorough plans, so why bother thinking? Making use of the ti to comprehend cultivation was the sensible approach.
“We’ve devoured so many troops consecutively, the Xia Army Military Governor’s Office must have noticed sothing unusual. Especially as the battle reaches this stage, the importance of Ximing is revealed. At least a marquis will co to inspect the situation. If we stay any longer, it will be very dangerous.”
Zhongxuan Sheng wasn’t at all cautious about Liu Yitao being present, casually analyzing the situation.
Liu Yitao had already cursed this chubby general’s entire family in his heart.
Now, of course, he knew that Linwu Mansion hadn’t entirely fallen. The Qi Country’s main forces were still tangled in the northern cities! The ones who attacked Ximing City were actually just these three thousand n!
But the city guarding formation was destroyed, and to show loyalty, he even cut down a few of his forr colleagues and was publicly comnded by this chubby man, personally appointed as the Ximing City garrison commander—damn it, whichever marquis cos, wouldn’t they flay first?
I’ve ambushed friendly troops for you, I’ve helped you guard prisoners.
I’ve disregarded everything, set my heart to stay loyal to you.
Now you’re going to leave?
What happened to saying this place is Qi Territory, we’re all people of Qi?!
“Yitao!” Zhongxuan Sheng seed oblivious to his mood, speaking affectionately, “Keep this paper safe. All your contributions are recorded on it, you won’t lack wealth and honor when rewards are distributed after the war!”
Liu Yitao forced a smile, “General… are we leaving?”
“No, not we.” Zhongxuan Sheng said, “It’s just that my troop needs a strategic relocation. You and your subordinates still need to help guard this Ximing City for Daqi!”
