Awaken Chapter 171

Marquis Xin Wu froze in place.

To be honest, it wasn’t that he hadn’t seen the world, but Xu Qingnian’s military order was too much.

Normally, when two armies are at war, one can sneak in and play tricks, but the problem was that this was between evenly matched forces.

They were the princes of Wei, with an army of 300,000, so they could have fought head on, there was no need to attack the city by night.

In fact, the shame is secondary, the main thing is, once not captured, this is the biggest problem, you raid means you do not have the courage to fight a protracted war, that people originally wanted to fight with you, but now do not fight, is to consume your time.

It affects morale and has a number of downsides.

For small battles, you can do whatever you want, but for big battles, you really can’t mess up every step. 300,000 troops, how strong is the ability to control them? How strong is the ability to control an army of 300,000? How strong is the ability to use an army like a god? Every order that goes down needs to be conveyed at every level.

“Marquis, what do you say?”

Left General Lin Feng swallowed his saliva, he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Military orders are like mountains!”

“But don’t say it now, wait until the eleventh hour.”

Marquis Xinwu was also domineering as he gathered his true qi and directly set the envelope on fire by himself.

The generals on the left and right received orders in unison.

And then in the Great Autumn Mountain.

The 100,000 iron hors*men did not notice anything when it was time to set up camp and do something.

Three hours later, when the 200,000 elite soldiers had arrived, the men began to set up camp and do their work, the encampment of 300,000 troops was very complicated.

They had to dig out water channels and other things, such as drainage, and they all had to be done.

When you’re fighting a war, it’s not just a matter of going up there with swords and guns and doing it.

Logistics comes first, fighting comes second.

If you don’t have logistics, you can’t fight a long war.

Everything was in order.

It was the eleventh hour.

It was late in the day and only thirty percent of the camps, except for the main camp, had been built.

They were naturally full of anticipation and excitement, as it was not easy for Great Wei to fight a battle.

However, at that very moment, in the middle of the camp.

Hundreds of generals were standing in the middle, listening to the orders given by the Marquis of Xinwu.

“All generals, communicate the night attack to your subordinates and implement it at every level.”

“The imperial court has ordered that this night attack, those who obstruct it will be killed!”

“Those who disobey! Kill!”

“Kill all male members of the royal family!”

“Civilian and military officials, kill!”

“Those with iron weapons in their hands, kill!”

“No matter how old, sick or disabled, women will not be killed, but those who resist will be killed.”

“Any foreign treasures in the palace and all valuable things in the city may be looted, but they must be reported and not privately hidden, and all gold, silver and jewels, as ordered by the court, are entitled to be used as a reward for the three armies.”

“Do you know this?”

The Marquis of Xinwu spoke, he said several words in a row to kill, the hundred generals could not help but gulp their saliva.

Great Wei was known as the upper kingdom above, and there was the Great Wei Palace of Literature, the orthodoxy of the world’s readers, external benevolence and morality, even when it came to marching and fighting, it was still a common sense.

To be direct, there are many places to be scrupulous, only kill the soldiers, and the royal family line, the rest of the people simply can not kill, as for looting such behavior, generally speaking will not be allowed.

So the crowd was a little worried, afraid that if they really did such a thing, they would turn around and be impeached by those reading people, and that would be a problem.

“The last general takes orders!”

It was just time to answer, it was a military order and could not be questioned.

But after receiving the order, someone couldn’t help but frown and look at Marquis Xinwu and say.

“Marquis, if we do this, will it invite some right and wrong?”

A general spoke up, voicing the concern in the hearts of the people.

But the Marquis of Xinwu said with a cold expression.

“What’s right and wrong?”

“This is an order from the court, an order from Xu Shouren, Lord Xu, who is now the overseeing Young Secretary.”

“He is the commanding officer of this battle, we are just following military orders.”

“Furthermore, this behaviour is not considered wrong by this marquis, these foreigners, who are eyeing our Great Wei.”

“It’s not that we didn’t give them a chance, twenty-one days, we were scolded by the people of the world for twenty-one days, but we also gave them twenty-one days.”

“They do not cherish it in every way, do they really want Great Wei to beg them to agree?”

The words of Marquis Xinwu caused the crowd to recall the situation of the 21st day, when the generals of Great Wei were scolded.

This anger, which they kept in their hearts, was thunderous every day, and now that it was mentioned, everyone’s hearts did get angry again.

Yes, Wei had given them 21 days, and Xu Qingnian had written three decrees asking the other side to take the initiative to issue an edict of sin and apologise.

But what was the attitude of the other side?

They didn’t give a D*mn about the Wei dynasty, and they were all so tractable that those who didn’t know thought they were the main country.

“What the marquis said is very true, it is my subordinate who has thought wrongly.”

“Marquis is right, these dogs, kill them tonight.”

“As a va*sal state, how dare they repeatedly invade our Great Wei, they really deserve to die.”

“Lord Xu really has blood in his veins, I had heard before that Lord Xu had the blood of a soldier in his bones, I didn’t believe it, but now I see that Lord Xu is a born general’s head.”

“A man of great courage, a scholar, yet he dares to make such a choice, Lord Xu may become a soldier saint in the future.”

The crowd of generals murmured, praising Xu Qingnian’s decisiveness as well as his talent.

“If you want to boast, wait until the troops return to the court.”

“My brother Shouren is not just decisive, he is the most resourceful.”

“All right, send the message down immediately, once the time comes, sneak straight in.”

“Right, send ten more light troops to survey the surrounding scouts, and kill them if you find them.”

Hearing the crowd bragging about Xu Qingnian, Marquis Xinwu was also full of light, but now was not the time to brag, the fight was about to start.

“The last general obeys the order.”

Hundreds of generals shouted in unison, and then walked out of the camp.

At this moment.

The night was dark and the wind was high.

Great Autumn Mountain Range, as hundreds of figures stalked out of the main camp.

In less than half an hour, dozens of figures fell to the ground, killed by a silent attack.

And among the barracks.

When the military orders were conveyed down, all the soldiers were stunned.

But they did not make a sound, but struggled to digest the shocking information.

It was only after a long time that the army came back to their senses.

They tried to speak, but saw the centurion hush his forbidden fingers.

“Keep quiet, remember, this battle, the first battle of Great Wei, is about the glory of Great Wei, anyone who dies in battle will receive three times the pension and enjoy the gold and silver jewels of the tombs equally.”

“Brothers, don’t blame me for speaking harshly, each and every one of you has not even found a mother-in-law, what is it that you say in the end? It’s not lack of money?”

“After this battle, if you have the bloodlust, kill the enemy and make merit, if you don’t, stay alive and when you enter the city, you can grab as much gold, silver and jewellery as you want from the whole country.”

“I reckon that one person will get at least a few hundred taels, or even a thousand taels.”

“With this money, what else do you have to worry about? And how many girls are there in this tommy country? It’s not a bad deal to bring them back as concubines.”

“Think about it yourselves!”

The centurion said in a suppressed voice.

After these words were said, hundreds of people suddenly showed an incomparable shock, even more shocked than what they had just heard.

“A few hundred taels?”

“A thousand taels? Sir, are you lying to us?”

“I only get twelve taels of silver a year as a soldier, how many hundreds of taels can I get if I win this battle?”

The crowd was stunned, literally blown away by the silver.

What was the concept of several hundred taels? It was their salary for decades.

With this money, they were still afraid of not being able to find a wife?

And what the centurion had said about finding a few foreign women as concubines, that was extremely attractive to them.

“Why do I bluff you?”

“This is an order from the court, but we must win, if we win, the tombs will have everything and reward the three armies, do the math yourself, a tombs, if not 10,000,000 taels of silver, right?”

“How many people do we have? Three hundred thousand people, divided by head, one person three hundred and thirty-three taels of silver.”

“And this is what Lord Xu said, do you believe it?”

The centurion said so, and when the crowd heard that it was Lord Xu who said it, they all became excited for a moment.

“I believe what Lord Xu said!”

“I believe it too, my mother said that Lord Xu is a good official, never tells lies, and that there is meat to be had by following Lord Xu.”

“Three hundred and thirty-three taels, oh my, I could have married two mothers-in-law.”

“Hmph, a bunch of idiots, only children make choices, I want it all, killing the enemy and getting promoted, marrying a mother-in-law, can’t I have it all?”

“Hahahahahahaha, there’s nothing wrong with what you’re saying.”

The crowd murmured, without a trace of fear, a sign that morale had risen.

There would be brave men under heavy rewards.

Xu Qingnian didn’t have any pre-battle declarations or preparations for battle, he used public grievances to mobilise morale, thus bringing out the group of generals who themselves carried anger with them.

Then he paved the way with silver, and everything fell into place.

And so, at last, all 300,000 troops were informed.

All were filled with anticipation and energy as they waited for the hour of the Son to arrive.

As time moved on.

Finally, the hour of the son arrived.

Led by the Marquis of Xinwu, the 300,000-strong army was divided into three groups, each diving towards the three gates of the east, north and south.

Two hundred miles.

It would take close to an hour to reach them, even if they were sneaking and speeding up.

At this moment.

The 300,000 strong army kept as quiet as possible.

The sound of the cavalry was difficult to conceal, so the cavalry was behind and did not take the lead in the charge.

One hundred and fifty miles.

One hundred miles.

Fifty miles.

The distance was shrinking and a party of five hundred scouts, kept twenty miles ahead, were responsible for clearing some road scouts.

Thirty miles.

Twenty miles.

The last twenty miles to go.

But alas, by this point, concealment was out of the question.

Swoosh! Phew! Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Above the dome of the sky, beams of smoke and fire exploded, a signal from the Tomans that a spy had spotted the army’s trail and immediately warned the Tomans’ inner circle.

The Marquis of Xinwu did not panic at all when his sneak was revealed, in fact he had predicted in his mind that he would be discovered in 50 miles.

Now he was twenty miles away from the outskirts of the city, which was more than expected.

“All troops attack!”

“Kill!”

At this moment, Marquis Xinwu drew his longsword as he rode his demonic beast Blood Horse and erupted with a terrifying roar.

This was a fourth-grade martial artist, a martial king whose voice could resonate for ten miles.

At this moment, the 300,000 strong army all heard the Marquis of Xinwu’s slogan.

They no longer stalked, but drew their long swords and went towards the tombs to kill them.

Perhaps it was because they had a hard time holding back, or perhaps it was because there were brave men under heavy rewards, whatever the reason, the 300,000 troops rushed towards the main city as if they had been beaten by chicken blood.

Under the moonlight, the swords were sharp.

The main city of the Tombs.

In the royal palace.

The monarch of the Tomato Kingdom was taking stock of the aid this time, and his whole body was already dreaming.

He was dreaming of the day when his country would join the ranks of the Ten Kingdoms.

But at that very moment, an unmistakable sound of footsteps came running.

“No! No! It’s not good!”

“Your Majesty, it’s not good.”

“The Great Wei army, it’s killing us.”

A running eunuch panicked, looking incomparably frightened.

“What?”

“The Great Wei army is killing us?”

“This can’t be.”

The monarch of the Tombs Kingdom stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The 300,000 strong army, which had only just arrived at the Great Autumn Mountain Range, normally speaking, only had not finished setting up camp today.

All the preparations had not yet been made, so how could they have come over?

This was absolutely impossible.

Don’t they want to prepare?

Aren’t they afraid of losing the battle?

The matter of attacking a city is difficult in itself, so how could it be possible to fight without good logistics?

Also, didn’t Great Wei always claim to be benevolent and righteous? Isn’t it a benevolent army?

How is it that when it comes to fighting me, there is no trace of benevolence and righteousness?

The king of the tombs was really confused, he didn’t even know what to say.

After half a quarter of an hour, he finally came back to his senses.

“Quickly!”

“Quickly!”

“Quickly go and summon the Chancellor.”

“Inform this down, gather all the elite troops of the Tombs to defend against foreign enemies.”

The king of the Tombs spoke, knowing that there was no time to lose and that he had to respond quickly.

Hearing this, the eunuch immediately turned and left, but just then, the monarch of the Tomato Kingdom spoke again.

“Let the generals from the other foreign countries rush to kill first.”

He reminded.

And when the eunuch heard this, he left straight away.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

The chancellor of the Fan Kingdom came rushing in, he didn’t even have his shoes on, so it was clear that he was in a great hurry.

All of them did not expect or anticipate that the Great Wei would come to invade at this time.

This is simply ……. unbelievable.

“Your Majesty, quickly reorganise the three armies to defend against the foreign enemy.

“If we can hold on, we will have won half of the battle.”

“Otherwise, if we cannot hold out, it will be the end of our country.”

The chancellor spoke up, and in one sentence he got to the heart of the matter.

The night attack by the other side was not a benevolent act, and the opportunity was taken to attack Wei in terms of rhetoric and win stronger support from the nations.

But if they could not hold out, it was useless to say anything more, history was written by the victors.

“Liwa, I will now hand over the military talisman to you, adjust the army and go out to defend the city against the enemy.”

The ruler of the Tombs was actually a little panicked, and he handed over the military talisman at the first opportunity, leaving the chancellor to deploy his troops.

In fact, it wasn’t that he was panicking, it was that no one expected that Wei would suddenly pull such a stunt.

It was really a brilliant move.

Boom!

At that very moment, a boom sounded.

It was a stone thrower.

With fire stones, it fell into the main city.

At this moment, outside the royal palace, screams, fleeing, cries and panic rose and fell from one another.

War was coming and the people, even if they had the courage, could not face these 300,000 killing machines.

Boom, boom, boom!

More and more firestones fell on the main city of the tombs.

The Great Wei army had begun to attack the city.

“Kill !!!!!”

“Kill !!!!!”

Outside the city, deafening shouts of killing rang out, scattering the clouds and reaching the palace.

“Go quickly!”

The ruler of the Tomato Kingdom roared, telling the Chancellor to go and respond quickly ah.

And at that moment.

Outside the main city of the Tomato Kingdom.

Three hundred thousand troops, attacking from the east, north and south, were throwing stones into the city, causing the battle to rage on.

The deafening sound of shouting and killing was so loud that the dark clouds were dispersed and a bright moon emerged as if it was a witness.

“Break the city gates!”

The voice of the Marquis of Xinwu rang out.

He held a great red-coloured sword in his hand, his true qi spreading around him as he slashed away, his hundred-metre blade cutting down hundreds of the elite soldiers of the tombs in one blow.

He was like the invincible one, killing all the way across.

Not only him, but dozens of fifth-grade martial artists also turned into an unparalleled force and killed towards the Tomato army.

This was the army stationed in the main city, the city gates were now forbidden, and on the city walls, a cold arrow was shot out, these cold arrows were infused with true qi, and with the special iron stones they were made of, they could easily penetrate the bodies of martial artists.

The arrows were like rain.

In a single glance, hundreds of the Great Desolate Army were killed instantly.

This is where the horror of war lies.

To die or not to die is not a choice you can make at all.

Hundreds of generals, carrying siege weapons, came along to kill.

Cold arrows rained down.

With an arrow stained with kerosene shot out, for a moment, many firemen appeared, screaming and yelling in misery, lying on the ground trying to put out the fire, but basically being hit by the kerosene arrows, it was hard to escape death.

“Brother, I’ll help you.”

Someone in the Great Desolate Army shouted, directly cutting down the friendly soldiers covered in fire, so that the other side would not have to suffer.

The 300,000 strong army, their blood boiling with fervour, rushed to kill them almost to their death.

They feared death.

But they knew that military orders were like mountains, better than life or death.

“Climb the ladder! Climb the ladder! Climb the ladder!”

“Climb up the ladder!”

In the end, at an extremely heavy cost, the ladders came under the city gates, and countless troops of the Great Desolate Army climbed up like mad.

However, a stone fell, killing the men on the spot.

Fire oil poured down, accompanied by an arrow, and it was another extremely tragic scene.

Hoots, shouts, cries of pain, curses and roars of rage intertwined.

This!

This is war.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the next moment, three huge cold arrows shot out, extremely fast, towards the Marquis of Xinwu.

These were giant crossbow arrows, with arrows made of extremely precious Xuan Iron, which could injure a fourth-rank martial artist.

Fortunately, the Marquis of Xinwu was on guard, as he slashed down with his red sword in his hand, sending sparks flying and causing him to retreat hundreds of steps with the tremendous impact.

And at that very moment, a fourth-ranked martial artist made his appearance inside the main city of the Tombs, a king.

He fell from the city, his true qi spreading ten feet around him, decimating dozens of the Great Desolate Army on the spot, his body suffused with maroon true qi.

Marquis Xinwu’s gaze was cold.

In the next moment, his figure moved with great speed, his red coloured greatsword cutting through with fierce dominance.

The latter held a scimitar and chopped towards Marquis Xinwu in a bizarre state.

Two fourth-ranked martial artists, erupting into a great battle, the aftershocks sweeping across hundreds of people at every turn.

This was a surprise attack and an a*sault on the city, and it was impossible to form a military formation, so this battle was a true battle of conviction and a battle for the dignity of Great Wei.

The deafening shouts of murder were incessant.

The 300,000 strong army was not even paying attention to this battle of kings.

There were only two words in their eyes.

Attack the city!

Attack the city!

Or a F**king siege.

Dang!

Dang!

Thud!

The deafening sound of siege weapons crashing against the gates, which were fifteen feet high, rumbled.

Every sound sent panic through the people of the city.

For half an hour.

A whole half hour.

Half an hour before and half an hour after.

Finally, at the cost of an unknown number of lives, someone climbed on top of the city walls.

“Kill!”

This Great Wei soldier gripped his long sword tightly, his eyes were bloodshot because his best comrade, Fang, had just been burnt alive by fire.

Poof, poof, poof!

His sword was a match for him, and he killed three people in one breath, but he was met by dozens of lances that ran through his body, killing him instantly.

But he bought five breaths of time.

These five breaths allowed three more Wei soldiers to rush forward.

Blood was spilled everywhere, and the three Wei soldiers were almost desperate to kill, even though they were wounded, their strong faith and terrifying willpower left no fear in their eyes.

On the city walls, the soldiers of the Fan Kingdom had never seen such people before. Although they were foreigners and good fighters, they had already lost half of their momentum when facing such desperate soldiers.

At this moment.

More and more Wei soldiers rushed up, killing them on sight.

But all the same, almost none of the first soldiers who rushed up to kill survived, the enemy was outnumbered, and there were almost no miracles.

In the face of war, there may be a fluke, but in a large war, the death toll is never extremely low. 300,000 troops against the enemy, at least tens of thousands of people will die, and even this kind of siege war is the most terrible.

The front is to take the life pile.

If you don’t pile up with your life, you won’t even reach the city gates.

Boom!

Another half an hour.

Finally, the eastern gate was broken, and the vast army of Great Wei began to really charge and kill.

But inside the city of Fan, the generals of the other nations who had come to their aid were also in command at the first opportunity.

The real encounter began.

Iron hors*men charged and killed, corpses fell inside the city, the battle spread, the whole of the Tombs was in flames, the streets, littered with corpses, the eaves of houses were crumbling, there were old men crushed under rooms, unable to move, screaming in agony, but no one cared.

There were children crying loudly, bereft of their parents, and the horses of the kingdoms rampaged through the streets, leaving nothing more than the corpses of young children.

War was coming.

No one cares about that much anymore.

Only death is fought.

Any sacrifice is innocent and inevitable.

Little by little, time pa*sed.

The 300,000 strong army of Wei stormed into the main city of the Tomato Kingdom like a bamboo storm, killing until they were covered in blood.

A belief in invincibility made every one of them like a god of war.

Some soldiers, even though their arms were cut off by swords, continued to fight tenaciously until they died.

Some soldiers, covered in fire, clung to a Tomato soldier to their death and died together.

The clash of iron riders was even more intense.

Lin Feng, the left general, had arrows sticking out of his back, but he still held his long sword and fought hard.

Zhang Wu, the right general, had more than a dozen wounds on his body, but he still fought on.

“All troops, listen to the order!”

“This battle is about the national prestige of Great Wei!”

“This battle is about the fate of Wei!”

“This battle is a matter of our dignity!”

“If we lose this battle, our 300,000 troops will be laughed at by the world and will never be able to clear this humiliation.”

“Kill!”

“Lives can be lost, blood can be shed, the country’s prestige cannot be humiliated, Great Wei cannot be humiliated.”

Zhang Wu’s voice rang out as he roared like a tiger, wielding his sword and moving forward to die.

“Kill!”

“Brothers, kill this group of dogs, all of them.”

“Kill !!!!”

“We, though we die, will be honoured!”

“Kill!”

Deafening voices rang out again, shouting and killing, shocking heaven and earth, crying out to the gods.

Terrifying killing intent, rushing to the sky.

The Wei generals were completely mad, the iron hors*men were rushing to kill, fearless of everything, fighting for their lives.

When the iron hors*men of the kingdoms saw this scene, they all swallowed their saliva, in their eyes, this group of people was a group of madmen.

They had come here to prepare for a protracted battle, not to fight with swords when they met.

And the main thing was that these people had 300,000 troops, a whole 300,000 troops.

If the Tomans had an army of 300,000, they wouldn’t be afraid, but the Tomans’ army was only 200,000 strong, and compared to the soldiers of Great Wei, they were no match for them.

The elites of these foreign nations were also afraid.

But what made them most angry was that the main force of the Tomato Kingdom had not come out until now, but instead it was their men who were killed and injured, how could they be convinced?

“F**k the Tomato B*****ds, brothers, retreat!”

Finally, someone sensed that something was wrong, that the Tomato Kingdom had wimped out, not sending its main force at all, and was only now planning to negotiate peace and surrender, consuming the strength of the nations to see the strength of the Great Wei army.

Now, the Wei army is as strong as a bamboo, so if they really fight, even if the main force of the tomato country goes on, it will probably end in defeat, just to say that they can kill more of the Wei army.

And there was no point in doing so.

So some people were planning to run away, withdraw their troops, and retain at least a little bit of strength if they could.

“Don’t let them run away, kill.”

“They’re scared, they’re scared, brothers, kill.”

“Kill.”

Almost instantly, when someone chickens out and runs away, it brings about an extremely frightening chain reaction, especially if this is still the a*sembled generals of the various foreign nations.

It was not their own country, so they had no sense of belonging, and the actions of the tombs made them sick, so naturally more and more of them ran away.

As soon as the opponent’s army broke up, the Wei troops flashed their swords and one by one, the faster they ran, the more they killed.

Inside the palace of the King of Fan.

An elite group of iron hors*men rushed in.

A middle-aged man, drenched in blood, walked into the palace with a monstrous rage and looked at the King of the Tomato Kingdom and roared.

“King Tom! What the hell are you doing? Why is the main army of the Tomato Kingdom not arriving soon? My 8,000 iron hors*men have fought to the death until there are only 1,000 left, but we have not yet seen the main force of the Tomato Kingdom.”

“King Fan, do you want to throw in the towel?”

He roared and growled, his liver aching with anger.

The 8,000 iron hors*men were supposed to be able to kill at least 10,000 of the enemy, but what he hadn’t expected was that the main force of the Tomans had been slow to show up, so that without the charge of the infantry, it was difficult for their cavalry to spread their arms in this environment inside the city.

He was killed by 7,000 men and still had 1,000 left, so how could this not make him spit blood?

One rider was better than ten soldiers.

“How dare you! Who are you? How dare you growl at the king like that?”

The chancellor of the Tombs shouted, pointing at the other man in rebuke.

“Tell me! What exactly does the Tombs mean?”

The middle-aged man, however, had no fear of the Chancellor, but looked deadly at the King of the Tomato Kingdom.

The latter was not annoyed, but looked at the other and said.

“This surprise attack by Great Wei has taken us by surprise.”

“We have already lost, and so has the State of Tomato.”

“My meaning is simple, I am willing to negotiate peace with Great Wei.”

The monarch of the Tomato Kingdom spoke, and said something that made the latter laugh in anger.

“Hahahahahahaha! Make peace?”

“The Tomato Kingdom has slaughtered at least 30,000 people in Wei, and now you are talking about making peace? Will Wei agree? King Fan, you are really talking about a fool’s dream.”

He laughed loudly, thinking that the king of the Tomato Kingdom was a fool.

But the latter did not care, but looked at the other side and said.

“The people, I didn’t kill them, you killed them.”

“I will issue an edict of guilt, and also meet and make peace, the big deal is just to offer all the things that you and others have given to me to Great Wei.”

“This battle is all your fault, from beginning to end. Not even 200,000 before and after?”

“Great Wei army, 100,000 iron hors*men, 200,000 elites, how can you fight?”

“In short, I, for one, am willing to negotiate peace! I have already sent someone to negotiate.”

The king of the Fan Kingdom had shamelessness written all over his face. If he could not fight, he would immediately call it quits and simply negotiate peace, as he had not lost many men anyway.

Of course the negotiation for peace was only his own words, but in reality he was sending people over to surrender.

This was the result of their negotiations for an hour.

The foreign kingdom had sent so many good things, the big deal was to give them all to Great Wei themselves, and as long as the army was still there, sooner or later there was a chance of turning the tide.

If all the soldiers died, then there would be no need for the Fan Kingdom to exist.

“Shameless! Shameless! Shameless!”

“You will bury yourself because of your own stupidity.”

He roared, and the next moment turned to leave.

“Unbridled.”

“Insulting the lone king and you want to leave like that? Come men, arrest the thief.”

The king of the tombs roared, and the next moment, a large number of elite soldiers poured out from within the palace, and a plume of arrows shot out, killing all of the thousands of iron hors*men outside.

“B*****d!”

“You really are a son of a B*tch.”

The latter roared in anger, he really did not expect the king of the tombs to be shameless to this extent.

Was this still a human being?

Was this still a human being?

“Capture him alive and hand him over to the Great Wei General later.”

The Tomato Monarch spoke indifferently, while turning back around and exhaling a long breath, constantly praying in his heart that he could escape this.

And at that very moment.

Inside the main city.

The sound of surrender resounded, and with the help of an instrument, it spread throughout the entire main city.

Outside the city.

When the fourth-ranked martial artists of the tombs heard the sound of surrender, they stopped fighting, not wanting to fight the Marquis of Xinwu any more, because if they continued to fight, they were afraid that they would lose.

But the Marquis of Xinwu didn’t care about that, and his sword energy was so strong that it cut directly into his opponent’s body, instantly dripping blood and revealing white bones.

“The tombs have surrendered, I wish to surrender.”

He spoke in time, although he had anger in his heart, he still didn’t want to continue to intensify, he couldn’t defeat himself, plus the surrender of the tombs, how could he dare to continue to fight?

“Rubbish.”

Marquis Xinwu withdrew his hand.

He knew that in a battle between kings, it would be difficult to really tell the difference between them for a day and a night.

Right now was not the time for a fierce fight, but to deal with something big.

Under the gaze of the Marquis of Xinwu, the latter walked into the main city of the Tomato Kingdom, and the man’s gaze was also filled with doubt and anger.

The Tombs.

The pitch was too quick.

It felt entirely possible to delay for a day, and within that day, the kingdoms would surely send reinforcements, and with this and the other, it was not impossible to hold out for a month.

There was even a chance that the Great Wei army could be repulsed.

They had come by night, a surprise attack, without all the logistics in place, and if they were repulsed outside the city, they would be defeated.

It was just that the kings of the tombs were afraid.

By surrendering, he wanted to stop the great battle.

The next moment.

The Marquis of Xinwu walked into the main city.

The ruler of the Tomato Kingdom had come from the royal palace and walked quickly towards the Marquis of Xinwu.

“Youmufan, meet Lord Marquis of Xinwu.”

“Lord Noble Marquis of Xinwu, this matter, is not done by me, it was forced on me by the foreign kingdom. Noble Marquis of Xinwu, I have ordered a blockade of the main city and sent troops to arrest the traitors from the foreign kingdom with all their might.”

“I hope that Marquis Xinwu will understand, I have always been loyal to Great Wei and have no intention of betrayal.”

The king of the Fan Kingdom was completely shameless, he personally came to surrender, and after seeing Marquis Xinwu, he was even more respectful, dumping all the pots and pans on the other foreign nations.

“Humph.”

The Marquis of Xinwu snorted coldly, he obviously did not believe the words of the ruler of the tomato country, but the other side had already surrendered, and there was no need for him to continue fighting.

To fight again would only add to the casualties, and to fight until the other side surrendered would be a victory.

The only thing he didn’t expect was that the tombs had surrendered too quickly.

“You Mufan, order your generals, put down your swords, and have the Great Wei Army seal your acupuncture points, otherwise, what is the point of talking about surrender?”

Marquis Xinwu spoke.

Surrender was possible.

This is the real surrender, otherwise who can stand this kind of tactics if they suddenly flip out again later?

“This ……. This! Lord Xinwu, it’s fine to put down the swords and weapons, but it’s …… not so good to block the acupuncture points. It’s not very good, is it?”

The king of the Tomato Kingdom said with some embarra*sment.

“Where is the Great Desolate Army!”

When he heard the words of the Tomato State Monarch, the Marquis of Xinwu shouted.

“We are here.”

The hundreds of thousands of Great Desolate Army replied in unison, resounding in every corner of the city.

This was the reply of the Marquis of Xinwu.

Do not seal the acupuncture points.

Then kill.

“Forbid! Forbid! Forbid!”

“Lord Marquis of Xinwu, don’t get angry, don’t get angry.”

The ruler of the Tombs Kingdom immediately nodded his head.

He had already surrendered.

There was no need to continue to make trouble, whatever they said.

If he didn’t, he could just fight to the death.

But the problem was that it would be even worse for the state to fight to the bitter end. If more than 100,000 of its troops died in battle, even if Wei really lost, what would he, the emperor, gain?

He might even be hollowed out and annexed by a foreign state.

Instead of doing so, he should take the initiative to surrender, and Wei would definitely accept his surrender.

It was not as if he had never knelt before to the Emperor.

This was what he thought.

“Zhang Wu listen to the order, lead 10,000 troops, seal all acupuncture points of the generals of the tombs, above the eighth rank, use Zhen Qi needles, detain them inside the main prison, and guard them with heavy troops.”

Marquis Xinwu spoke up and told Zhang Wu to lead his men to seal the blood acupuncture points.

“The last general obeys the order.”

Zhang Wu was covered in blood, but did not excuse himself.

“Lin Feng, listen to the order, lead 50,000 troops and take inventory of the city’s granaries, armouries, and other important places.”

“The last general will obey the order.”

Lin Feng spoke.

And the Marquis of Xinwu continued to give out an order.

Patrol and inspect the city gates, block the gates, and kill anyone who finds any movement.

Count the casualties, find the wounded and treat them without delay.

After giving all the orders, the Marquis of Xinwu swept a glance at the King of the Tomato Kingdom, then led the 20,000 troops towards the palace of the King of the Tomato Kingdom.

The rest of the army began to patrol and inspect, or to rest and look for survivors.

The battle was not over yet.

No one could guarantee that it would not be fought again later.

So the people remain vigilant until the Marquis of Xinwu is in complete control of the situation.

Otherwise, no one dares to make a rash move.

The palace of the King of Fan.

The Marquis of Xinwu entered the palace and sat down on the king’s chair in front of the king of the Tomato Kingdom, in an arrogant and domineering manner.

The ruler of the Tomato Kingdom dared not speak out in anger, and even raised his head with a smile on his face.

The civil and military officials of the Tombs all stood under the king’s chair, displeased but not daring to say a word.

“Marquis Xinwu, this matter was entirely instigated by the foreign kingdom to the lone king.”

“Please be clear about this, you must explain it to the court.”

“If Marquis Xinwu can do this favour for the Lone King, the Lone King will definitely not treat you badly.”

The ruler of the Tomato Kingdom looked somewhat flattering.

The next moment, a treasure appeared in his eyes and was brought up by the eunuchs.

Each and every one of them was a treasure of immense value.

But the Marquis of Xinwu only swept a glance at them, with no interest in his eyes.

Noticing the calmness in the Marquis of Xinwu’s eyes, the ruler of the Tomato Kingdom did not say much and clapped his hands again, and at once dozens of foreign beauties appeared between them, dressed in translucent veils that could see through almost everything at a glance.

“Marquis Xinwu, these are the most beautiful women raised by the lone king, all of them are virgins, if you don’t mind, you can go to the palace for a quickie.”

The king of the Tomato Kingdom smiled fawningly.

But the Marquis of Xinwu remained unchanged, simply saying no, and then closing his eyes to recuperate.

For a moment, the great hall was much quieter.

About half an hour later.

Finally, a voice rang out.

“Report! Marquis! During this attack on the city, our army suffered 50,000 casualties, more than 27,000 were seriously injured, more than 3,000 were dying, and 20,000 were killed in battle.”

With this voice rang out.

A dead silence fell over the palace of the King of Fan.

Instead of fuming, the Marquis of Xinwu took out a pen and paper and wrote the information.

“Thousand miles expedited!”

“Escort to the capital!”

“Please decide, Lord Xu!”

Marquis Xinwu spoke.

It was normal for people to die in war.

Right now the situation had not been completely stabilised.

Whether or not to accept the surrender.

It was still not certain.

Everything was up to Xu Qingnian to decide.

If Xu Qingnian was willing to accept, then he would accept.

If Xu Qingnian is unwilling to accept, then he will not accept the surrender either.

But normally, the surrender should be accepted, which would be beneficial to the next battle.

It was just a matter of letting Xu Qingnian decide what to do.

Five minutes past dawn.

Great Wei’s palace, inside the Hall of Mandarin.

Duke An’s voice suddenly rang out.

He looked at Xu Qingnian and said incredulously.

“Shouren, you want to raid the Tombs?”

Duke An had thought about it for several hours, and he could never figure out when Xu Qingnian had transported the grain and straw over.

After thinking about it, he finally guessed Xu Qingnian’s purpose.

That’s why he couldn’t help but speak up like this.

As this voice rang out, all the civil servants of the court changed their expressions.

“Shouren, you’re taking too much risk.”

Seeing Xu Qingnian’s calm expression, Duke An could not help but shake his head and sigh.

But at that very moment.

An incomparably urgent voice rang out.

“Shortcut report!”

“Excellent news!”

“A great victory! The Marquis of Xinwu has destroyed 50,000 enemies! The tombs have surrendered!”

As the voices rang out.

Inside the hall, there was dead silence.

In particular, Duke An was frozen in place.

He had just said that Xu Qingnian had taken a risk.

But to his surprise, there was a good report.

The Fan Kingdom had voted?

Why did this smack in the face come so quickly?

But when he heard that the tombs had surrendered.

Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but frown.
