The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 641 4 Counties

With a slight sound, Jianfeng's sword pierced Yuan Su's body.

Yuan Su looked down and realized that he had no chance of survival. His hand loosened and the sword fell to the ground.

Looking back on my life, I clearly had a lot of abilities, but I only fought this one battle, and it was so frustrating.

such a pity!

"These soldiers under my command are all loyal and righteous people... If the general doesn't mind, please release them."

After he finished speaking, Yuan Su was no longer able to support his body and suddenly fell to the ground.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Jian Feng's eyes. Perhaps he was impressed by the other party's loyalty, perhaps he felt sorry for the other party's ability, or perhaps he felt sorry for the few guards who died.

"Take off your weapons and leave. Your general has finally begged for your life, so live well."

Jianfeng looked at the people in the center, sighed slightly, and left.

Seeing that several people were seriously injured, Lin Xiaofan threw a packet of hemostatic medicine to them.

Early the next morning, several people had already left, leaving behind only a few sets of armor.

"Then send the troops."

Lin Xiaofan said.

If nothing unexpected happens, Daliang will have no other resistance except the capital.

Fifteen days later, Hanling City.

This city is one of the four major cities in Daliang, with a long history and a population of over 100,000.

But now, the huge Hanling City seems a little depressed.

Everyone knew that Daqian was attacking.

The powerful families had already fled to the capital for refuge, and most of the remaining people were ordinary people.

On the city wall, the county governor looked at the huge army and his hands began to tremble slightly.

Although he was called the county governor, he was actually a county magistrate a dozen days ago. He was born in a small family and managed to become the county magistrate by relying on his own abilities and the help of his family.

He thought he would never get promoted, but in the past few days, the county magistrates and governors resigned and went to the capital. He was appointed to the position and jumped several levels to become the governor.

Now, in this huge Hanling City, all 5,000 defenders have withdrawn, leaving only dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, barely maintaining the most basic order in the city.

Want to fight?

What a joke, with just these few soldiers under my command, they could lose hundreds of lives to one volley of enemy fire.

"County Magistrate..."

Several officials nearby looked at him, all of whom were given the order in times of crisis.

"Come down."

The county magistrate said only one sentence, then opened the city gate and surrendered with the soldiers and officials who had taken off their armor.

Ten days later, Zhangcheng.

This place is the last line of defense of Daliang Capital. If this city is breached, Daliang Capital will be completely exposed to the sight of Daqian Army.

Lin Xiaofan rode on his horse, squinting slightly. It had been less than a month since he left Yueshan City, and Daqian had already taken over three counties.

Daliang only had nine counties, and almost half of them fell into Daqian's hands. According to the spies, the soldiers in the west and north of Daliang had all retreated into the capital, and both sides had fallen.

So if you think carefully, Daliang now only controls a capital city and is already in name only.

The envoys from Daliang came again and again, but Lin Xiaofan and the others ignored them. Later, they got annoyed and killed a few of them, and Daliang stopped sending anyone.

"There's no one on the wall."

A spy returned on horseback and said.

"Explore again."

"promise."

After a while, several spies came back and said:

“There’s no one on the city wall.”

"all gone?"

Jian Feng said to himself. The Daliang Emperor really only left the capital and gave up all other territories. This is quite courageous.

"We must not be careless. Send a troop of soldiers to explore the city."

Lin Xiaofan said, "Now that victory is imminent, if we get ambushed, it will be more trouble than it's worth."

"Ah."

Jian Feng nodded slightly.

The army first camped outside the city, and then a troop of hundreds of people broke through the city gate and entered the city.

It was not until late in the evening that the troops returned.

"The city is deserted."

"Well, let's go into the city to rest."

Jianfeng ordered.

Five days later, the army arrived ten miles outside the capital of Daliang.

The final battle must not be taken lightly. The army did not rush to attack, but first set up camp.

"There are 40,000 defenders in the city. 20,000 are the Imperial Guards, 10,000 are from the north of Daliang, and 10,000 are from the west of Daliang. We must not be careless."

Jian Feng's expression was serious.

These 50,000 soldiers have all experienced the baptism of war, and their strength should not be underestimated. With the protection of the tall city walls, this battle will probably be difficult to fight.

Looking at Daqian, there are 40,000 prisoners who can only be used to build fortifications and cannot be used.

Of the remaining 40,000 men, 20,000 were new recruits.

Although Daliang was far ahead in terms of weapons and armor, and there were no more famous generals in Daliang, it was still not easy to take the city.

"Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Jian Feng asked.

"Let's try attacking first."

Lin Xiaofan said.

The truth about the city can be known with just one exploration.

The army started the siege, and catapults threw Lei Zhenzi out one after another, blowing countless holes in the city walls and causing countless casualties among the soldiers in the city.

As the army moved forward, they were met with a hail of arrows. Fortunately, with the protection of armor, there were not too many casualties.

The siege vehicle hit the city gate fiercely, but the gate seemed to be made of iron and did not move at all after being hit for a long time.

Lin Chong hooked onto the city wall, and soldiers climbed up one by one, trying to seize the city from the wall.

But Daliang already knew how to deal with it. He hooked a few hooks on the Linchong and pulled it outwards. Linchong was half tilted and about to fall.

After recovering from his wounds, Lu Gou and his group of soldiers went crazy. They were all covered in blood, and they cut a path through the crowd and cut the hook.

Just as he was about to run towards the next hook, two generals came with their soldiers and entangled him tightly.

Duanmu Liangjiang held a long spear in his hand, and wherever he passed, people were either killed or maimed. No one could withstand his attack. A group of vanguards followed closely behind him, and Lei Zhenzi was thrown at the enemy. Screams and explosions were often heard.

They also fought their way out and cut the hook.

The two brothers Lei Potian and Lei Pokong went into battle together, attacking in two directions. Both of them held broadswords and fought roughly. When faced with weapons hitting their bodies, as long as they were not in vital areas, they would ignore them and let them hit their armor.

Each time they swung their swords, they could take the life of an enemy. Two men led the army, and each of them cut off a hook.

"Run!"

A shout rang out on the battlefield. Between the shouts and the clash of weapons, this shout was not abrupt, and even reached the ears of the crowd, it was already very faint, but it still attracted everyone's attention at the first time.

Turning around, I saw that a Lin Chong car had completely lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Some of the soldiers above chose to jump down from a high place, while others did not have time to do anything.

"bump!"

With a loud bang, the Lin Chong was completely scrapped.

The same scene happened again and again.

"Back off."

Jianfeng's military order was issued, and the army retreated like the tide.
