Chapter 616: The Last Struggle

Kangju may not be the largest and most powerful country in the Western Regions, but his royal palace is definitely one of the best among the countries in the Western Regions, with a large scale and a very gorgeous appearance.

At this time, the palace of the king of Kangju was shrouded in blood red.

After Li Xun's army captured the city of Piruo, he immediately issued an order not to slaughter the city, and the people who fled in the city should not be stopped, let them flee, this has two advantages, first, a large number of people fled, and those who remained in the city were left diehards, and it was easy to distinguish between friend and foe. Second, Li Xun actually only has 10,000 troops, if he rushes in so hard, the religious elements take the opportunity to fan the flames, and the emotions of the people are easily detonated, but there are more than 100,000 people in the city, once the people in the city rebel and riot, the army in Li Xun's hands will not be able to control the situation at all, it is better to let them go.

After Li Xun led the army into the city, he still encountered strong resistance, and it took nearly two hours to completely eliminate the rebels in the city, but they did not give up, but all entered the palace, continued to resist stubbornly, and swore not to surrender.

It was completely dark.

Li Xun looked coldly at the palace in front of him, the morning battle seemed to be fierce, but in fact the damage was not big, and the casualties were less than 500 people, but after entering the city, the chaos and purges in the city, in just two hours, nearly 2,000 soldiers died for this, and Li Xun already had a lot of hatred and murderous spirit in his heart.

In the midst of the palace, there were intermittent voices of singing, which grew louder and louder, as if many people were singing in unison.

"Dashuai, this is a folk song that has been spread for a long time and is also widely spread in the Western Regions, which means unity and unyielding."

Chen De has lived in the Western Regions for many years, and he is naturally very familiar with the customs and folklore here.

Li Xun was indifferent, for them, he was an aggressor, a brutal person, but so what? If Li Xun was just an ordinary person, he might be sympathetic and angry and condemned for such an aggressive act, but with his current position, from another point of view, this is a normal thing, a weak country has no peace, there is no strong force to protect itself, it will only be ravaged and invaded by others, the meat is in front of you, you don't take it, others will not say that you are merciful, they will only say that you are stupid.

Li Xun glanced at Chen De and said lightly: "This song, to their ears, may be indignant, but when I hear it, it is full of sadness and despair. ”

Chen De arched his hand and said: "What the marshal said is extremely true, their resistance will not change the destruction of the country, but will only increase casualties. ”

"It's a pity they don't understand that."

Li Xun said coldly.

Li Cunxiao came quickly, and said loudly on the horse: "Marshal, the army has surrounded the palace, do you want to attack immediately?" ”

Li Xun said lightly: "The walls of the palace are tall, if it is attacked, the loss will definitely be not small. ”

Li Cunxiao was stunned, and said a little puzzled: "What does it mean to be handsome?" ”

Li Xun said coldly: "The palace building is wooden, and the soldiers were ordered to attack it with fire, and if they don't come out, they will be buried with the fire." ”

Li Cunxiao gasped, there are nearly 20,000 people in the palace, how many people will be burned to death if this fire goes down?

"Dashuai, isn't that so..."

Li Cunxiao hesitated a little and had the heart to advise, but Li Xun's eyes came coldly, he knew that Li Xun had made up his mind, and the result could not be changed, Li Cunxiao had to sigh, give up his hand, and leave.

Chen De on the side glanced at Li Xun and didn't say much, he could see that Li Xun at this time was very murderous in his heart.

With the issuance of Li Xun's order, in the dark night, the fire was full of flames, and the entire palace was set on fire.

This fire not only burned nearly 20,000 people, but also burned out the last resistance of Kangju country, so far, Kangju country, which lasted for more than 500 years, was wiped out.

Jun Yanting, the king of Kangju Kingdom, had learned the news of the annihilation of the 50,000 troops in Zhenshi City two days ago, and Li Xun did not go west to besiege him, but instead led the army south and went straight to his lair.

Hearing this news, Jun Yanting felt deep guilt and remorse for his own rashness, he thought that as his army approached Suye, the entire central and western countries of the Western Regions would definitely take the opportunity to launch a rebellion, cooperate with himself inside and outside, and eliminate the Jin army in one fell swoop, but in fact, the result was just the opposite, the envoys sent by Jun Yanting to the central and western countries of the Western Regions secretly did not have any news as soon as they entered, and the central and western countries of the Western Regions not only did not welcome their arrival, On the contrary, they held a hostile state, and they were more likely to support the Jin army, and those who had money contributed money, and some people contributed people, which greatly surprised Jun Yanting's expectations.

It was only at this time that Jun Yanting knew that his military adventure had failed in a mess.

So that the news came from the side of Zhenshi City, Jun Yanting had to hate and withdraw the army, but time did not wait for me, he had no chance, Zhao Wei led the army of 7,000 and ambushed outside the city for a whole day and night, until the news of the destruction of the 50,000 army of Zhenshi City reached Zhenshi City, the defenders in the city were in turmoil, and when there was chaos, Zhao Wei suddenly launched an attack at night and took Juyan City in one fell swoop, and Jun Yanting's retreat was completely cut off.

Jun Yanting's eyes were red, and he had many injuries on his body.

Li Xun led the army south, Kang Juguo did not know his life and death, Jun Yanting was very worried, and what was even worse was that the Jin army suddenly launched an attack, broke through Juyan City, and cut off his retreat.

In two days, Jun Yanting led the army to attack desperately, but the resistance of the Jin army was stubborn, and more than a dozen fierce attacks were all repulsed.

Jun Yanting simply dealt with the injuries on his body, picked up his weapon and was about to lead the pro-military camp to rush forward again.

"King, you can't go into battle yourself."

"You are the lord of a country, and you are the commander of the three armed forces, if something happens to you, we will have no hope at all."

Several people on the left and right were shocked when they saw Jun Yanting's movements, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

In the past two days, Jun Yanting has personally rushed into battle several times, which is extremely dangerous, and he has almost been killed several times, which makes the people who are already desperate feel even more heavy.

Jun Yanting was burly and had great strength, he shook it vigorously, threw away the few people who were holding him, picked up his sword and pointed at them and shouted angrily: "When life and death are at stake, the main generals cannot never be the first, how can the soldiers fight to the death?" If you are afraid of death, stay here, and I will lead my soldiers to break through the Great Rock City. ”

After that, Jun Yanting took two steps forward, turned over his horse, and roared, leading the remaining more than 500 elite soldiers to devote themselves to the siege battle again.

The generals behind him were also courageously aroused by Jun Yanting, and they all took weapons and rode horses to follow.

In fact, they don't have much choice, it's night, the food has been completely cut off at noon, the military spirit of the whole army has been tense to the extreme, tonight's last few sieges, maybe the last chance, tomorrow, even without food, who has the strength to continue fighting?
