Chapter 1149: Capture of Chengzhou
With Zhang Xiu's death, the morale of his subordinates plummeted, and they already had the intention of retreating.
At this time, Ling Feng quickly dispersed the blood dragon battle spirit, turning into blood-colored brilliance, and submerged into the body of the Shura Blood Guard.
Immediately, 100,000 Shura Blood Guards quickly killed Zhang Xiu's subordinates under the leadership of Seven Kills, Po Jun and others.
General Zhang Xiubu ordered 100,000 Dao soldiers to attack, but the strength of these Dao soldiers was already much worse than Ling Feng's Shura Blood Guard, and they were also at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and armor. With Zhang Xiu's death, the Taoist soldiers collapsed even more, and their combat power plummeted, so they were quickly defeated by the Shura Blood Guard!
With the destruction of 100,000 Dao soldiers, the other 2 million ordinary armies are even more vulnerable, and they will be defeated at the first touch!
However, the fleeing soldiers suddenly found that a million-strong army had emerged behind them, blocking their retreat, and in the mountains and forests on the left and right, there were also Ling Feng's 500,000 troops, which had firmly surrounded them. The reason why Ling Feng did not rush to attack before was to arrange an ambush, as if the enemy army had fled.
At this time, Zhang Xiu's remnants saw that there was no way to escape, except for a small number of diehards who chose to break through and were eliminated by Ling Feng. Most of the other soldiers chose to surrender.
In this battle, Ling Feng beheaded more than 800,000 people, captured more than 2 million prisoners, captured countless armors, and the cultivation of 90,000 ordinary Shura blood guards was also improved to the peak of the early stage of the innate stage, and his strength increased a lot. Moreover, Ling Feng refined Zhang Xiu's Yuan Shen, and the cultivation of the Chaos Yuan Fetus had made a breakthrough, and he had reached the peak of the Heavenly and Human Realm of the middle grade Yuan Shen.
Immediately, Ling Feng's army entered the nearby state city and began to collect prisoners, appease local families and Jianghu sects, and send troops to recover various counties.
With the arrival of the army, the counties and counties looked at the wind, and in only two days, the entire territory of the state had been recovered.
Ling Feng left 100,000 of the 500,000 auxiliary soldiers captured and recruited, and another 50,000 elite soldiers, which were stationed in each county. Ling Feng went all the way to the expedition, and he would inevitably leave enough troops to defend it to prevent the state and county from gaining and losing. As for the number of troops that were divided, they were naturally supplemented by prisoners, and they still maintained an establishment of more than three million.
In addition, the people of the Six Gates, the Blue Dragon Society, and the Vermilion Bird Hall will all arrive to recover and monitor the local wealthy families and Jianghu sects, remove hidden dangers, and consolidate Ling Feng's rule.
Then, Ling Feng's army continued to advance, and it was not far from Chengzhou.
At this time, in the city of Chengzhou, in the state pastoral mansion.
When Liu Yan got the news that Zhang Xiubing was defeated and died, and the three million army was wiped out, his face suddenly changed greatly. What is the strength of Zhang Xiu's 100,000 Dao soldiers, he knows, Ling Feng can destroy Zhang Xiu, his strength is far beyond his estimate, and he does not have the calm and calm before. Immediately, he hurriedly summoned Dong Fu, Yan Yan, Zhang Song, Wu Yi, Huang Quan and other civil and military generals to discuss countermeasures.
Zhang Song said: "At this time, General Zhang Lu is still fighting fiercely with the Jia Long thief army, and now the plan is to convene the Yizhou Provincial Observation Envoy to crusade against the rebels in the name of the state pastor, of course, this must promise some benefits before they can be moved." In addition, we must look for foreign aid, first of all, to summon Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Although the lord is not in agreement with him, after all, he is also a clan, and if the lord writes another letter to say something good, he will definitely send troops to help. ”
Next to him, everyone nodded yes. When Liu Yan heard this, he also had a bottom in his heart.
At this time, Huang Quan said: "As well as Xudu, we can also send generous gifts, let them issue an edict in the name of the imperial court, and order the various observers to crusade against Ling Feng and Jia Long and others." ”
Yan Yan also said: "Now that the thief army is not far from Chengzhou, just in case, please evacuate first." ”
When Liu Yan heard this, he immediately said: "In this case, General Yan, this Chengzhou City will be entrusted to you!"
......
The next day, Ling Feng led the army to the east gate of Chengzhou City, Yan Yan led Gao Pei, Yang Huai, Deng Xian and other Liu Yan generals to stand on the city wall, and said coldly: "Ling thief, the state pastor shows the court that you are the Qianwei Taoist observer, you don't want to repay the kindness of the Dazhou herd, but instead raise troops to attack, such a disloyal and unrighteous person, what face does he have in the world!"
Ling Feng said coldly: "This official was rewarded by the imperial court because the official pacified the Qianweidao Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there is peace and kindness to speak of? Otherwise, there is only one dead end!"
What he said was really not slander, it was all information he had discovered through secret investigations.
Yan Yan's face changed, he also knew that this news was true, but so what? The current Emperor Xian is just a puppet, and he also has the heart to help Liu Yan ascend to the throne. Immediately, he said coldly: "The dog thief dares to slander Lord Zhou Mu and seek death!"
Then, he quickly took out his bow and arrows, pulled the bow with all his might, infused the Yuan Fetus mana, condensed the arrow intent, and suddenly shot towards Ling Feng under the city. He is a powerhouse in the late stage of the Great Grandmaster, and with the increase in the Divine Soldier-level Bow in his hand, the power of this arrow is extremely amazing, almost the peak of the Great Grandmaster!
At this time, Ling Feng also took out the Mixed Yuan Bow and a Gengjin Divine Arrow, and quickly bent his bow and arrows.
When the Xuantie arrow from the city tower shot at him, Ling Feng's hand suddenly loosened, and a golden arrow shot out, shooting through the Xuantie arrow, and shooting towards Yan Yan without slowing down at all.
Yan Yan, Gao Pei, Yang Huai, Deng Xian and other five great grandmaster-level masters urged the divine soldiers in their hands to attack at the same time, wanting to block the Gengjin Divine Arrow.
However, the Gengjin Divine Arrow was a sixth-rank, coupled with Ling Feng's powerful mana and the increase in the Mixed Yuan Bow, the power of this arrow was already at the level of the late stage of the Heavenly and Human Realm, and it instantly broke through the interception of everyone's sword qi and sword qi, and shot into Yan Yan's eyebrows, crushing his Yuan Fetus. This was already the result of Ling Feng hiding most of his strength.
At this time, the Shura Blood Guard began to condense the blood dragon battle soul with the battle array, Ling Feng controlled the blood dragon battle soul, and blasted open the city gate with one blow, and then the blood dragon rushed towards the city wall, turning into a sky full of blood light and shooting out!
Gao Pei, Yang Huai and the others all changed their faces drastically and fled quickly.
Immediately, the soldiers defending the city were swept through their bodies by blood and light, and all of them were turned into dried corpses.
Then, the blood light converged, condensed into the form of a blood dragon, and coldly commented on Gao Pei, Yang Huai and others, and said loudly: "Surrender, or die!"
Gao Pei and the others hesitated for a moment, but still said together: "I'll wait for the wish to surrender!"
After all, there are still few people like Yan Yan who are not afraid of death. And with a few generals as role models, others naturally surrendered without resistance.
As for those who wanted to escape from the other city gates, it was also in vain, Ling Feng had already arranged an ambush and blocked the direction of the other three city gates, and no one could escape.
At this point, Chengzhou City fell into the hands of Ling Feng. Chengzhou City is the seat of Yizhou governance, with a population of one million, enough to serve as the capital and the foundation of the future.
Moreover, the heritage of this place is also unfathomable, there are four top families with the supreme grandmaster of the realm of heaven and man, and there are not a few other great families with great grandmasters, and there are even more rivers and lakes with grandmasters! If these families can be subdued, it will be much easier to unify Yizhou.
