Capítulo 2105: Chapter 204: Effortless Capture of Honggu City
The mountains, rivers, cities, and passes of the Sumr Country, all fully materialized without omission, were miniaturized on the sand table.
A tiny movent of the command flag could determine the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Chen Zeqing gazed at them, his eyes exceptionally deep.
He casually said: “Speaking of which, the battles in Youping Mansion seem to be smoother than in Linwu Mansion.”
Wang Yiwu showed so interest: “Because of Tian Anping?”
“Not exactly.” Chen Zeqing withdrew his gaze and asked: “Are you familiar with Yan Fu?”
Wang Yiwu raised an eyebrow: “Why should I be familiar with him?”
Chen Zeqing smiled: “Yan Fu is interesting in battle.”
“Is he knowledgeable in military matters?” Wang Yiwu asked indifferently.
Chen Zeqing said: “He buys enemy generals on the northern frontline. Surrender, and you’ll get money. Bring soldiers to surrender, more money. He even shouted slogans like, ‘Surrender an army, and you will live worry-free. Surrender a city, three generations of wealth’…”
As he spoke, he shook his head and laughed: “I can’t tell if he’s knowledgeable in military matters, but the effect seems good.”
Wang Yiwu had a ‘this works too’ expression on his face, not knowing what to say.
Chen Zeqing added: “I wonder what Zhao Nan is doing right now.”
Wang Yiwu rarely laughed: “He might be wondering… what we are doing!”
The short-lived storm retreated, and behind the brief silence was a more intense accumulation.
During the tense intervals of the battle, the two brothers chatted sporadically, wandering from topic to topic.
Actually, when Wang Yiwu first joined, the War God was busy with military affairs, and it was several senior brothers who taught him cultivation. Especially Chen Zeqing, who taught him the most, and their bond was exceptionally deep.
However, as they aged, each had their own matters… Especially as disciples of Great Qi’s God of War, enjoying endless glory, they also had to demonstrate performances matching this glory, so they wouldn’t sar the na of the War God.
All of their brothers, the three alive, the two deceased, were actually working hard.
They hadn’t chatted like this in a long ti.
…
…
Located behind Huyang Pass, Honggu City rested against dangerous passes in front and fertile land behind. It had rarely seen war over the years and lacked natural disasters, making the city territory very prosperous. Adjacent to Feng Li’s Xinjie City, one was in the west of Hui Ming Fu and the other in the east. For the Feng Li Mansion Army’s way ho, it was truly opposites.
Of course, for Zhongxuan Sheng, there was no ‘south journey’; this was his target.
At this mont, the Victory Camp army had changed into Shaokang Mansion’s military uniform again, truly ‘returning to their roots.’
For this War of Xia, Zhongxuan Sheng prepared a full three hundred Storage Boxes, distributed throughout the army, enough to carry many supplies. Naturally, the consumption of three thousand elite soldiers’ Qi Blood Pill and Dao Yuan Stone was enormous. Soldiers who hadn’t yet transcended, as well as early transcendent soldiers, needed food and drink. Carrying more supplies wasn’t enough; they had to feed on the enemy.
They had profited greatly in Ximing City and temporarily didn’t have to worry about Dao Yuan Stones and Qi Blood Pills.
Compared to Linwu Mansion, which was the Qi Xia War frontline, and Huyang Pass, guarded by Chu Shuo.
The defenses of Honggu City could be described as lax.
Zhongxuan Sheng displayed the command flag seal, claiming to be reinforcents from Shaokang Mansion heading to Linwu Mansion, retreating due to defeat, with orders from above to rest nearby.
Honggu City’s garrison actually opened the city gates and invited the friendly army to al!
It’s unknown whether they were overconfident in Chu Shuo guarding Huyang Pass or thought the Qi Army couldn’t possibly rush out of Linwu Mansion in a short ti.
With the command flag seal examined, the Honggu City commander even personally ca to welco.
The place to entertain the friendly army was directly chosen to be the city guard army’s drill ground in Honggu City.
Large fish and at piled high, a flowing feast directly covered the training ground.
The nurous ‘Shaokang Mansion Army’ scattered and sat down without restraint, indulgently eating—they fit the deanor of a defeated army retreating in disorder.
The commander ‘Jiang Sheng’ was invited into the camp, accompanied personally by the Honggu City commander, exchanging glasses and chatting happily.
They inevitably discussed age and past glorious experiences, gradually heating the atmosphere with flawless conversation.
When the wine was warm, ‘Jiang Sheng’ expressed he wanted his lieutenant over to handle military affairs on his behalf because today he wanted to free himself from constraints and keep the brothers of Honggu City company at the wine table.
When the lieutenant entered the camp, the Honggu City commander, colonel, clerk and others never made it out again.
The guards’ captain outside the tent, Li Chen, didn’t hear a sound. Seeing the fat general of ‘Shaokang Mansion Army’ leading the lieutenant out, he politely said goodbye.
Not until he waited a good while without seeing his commander co out did he decide to check inside, only to be scared out of his wits!
The entire tent of Honggu City senior military officers had their throats slit! Lying neatly around the wine table.
Realizing belatedly, he rushed to the drill ground, only to witness the mutiny of the ‘Shaokang Mansion Army.’
Those scattered, hungry ‘Shaokang Mansion Army’ mbers set their cups and bowls down, spat out their bones, and suddenly underwent a transformation, becoming agile, forming into a battle formation within steps!
Their blades were swift, their strides quick. Afterward, they advanced unimpeded, repeatedly scattering the hastily gathered City Guard Army, rcilessly suppressing all resistance, leaving only rolling heads and densely kneeling surrendering soldiers!
In less than an hour, they controlled the City Guard Army’s camp.
