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

Chapter 648: Southern Dragon Destruction

In the military camp of the Nanlong Kingdom, there were surprisingly no dancers, wine or meat in the general's tent today.

"What's going on? There's still no news! Didn't they ask them to report back on the 15th?"

Zhong Chen asked, what he was referring to was naturally the spies in Daqian.

Before marching into Daliang, he sent several people to Daqian and spent some money to bribe some people in Daqian.

It was agreed that someone would come to him on the 15th to report what happened. But now it is the 17th day and still no one has come.

"Perhaps, we encountered some problems on the way, which delayed us for some time. General Zhong, don't worry too much."

Shi Ning tried to persuade him, but he was confused.

The spies only arrived two days late, there shouldn't be such a big fuss.

Zhong Chen ignored him and looked outside the tent, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment, he sighed slightly:

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

Shi Ning was right. The spies were supposed to sneak in by pretending to be ordinary people. If they encountered some trouble along the way, it would be normal for them to come two days later.

But for some reason, he felt very panicked.

"Report!"

A loud shout came from a long distance away, and Zhong Chen was so scared that he trembled and stood up.

A soldier ran into the camp quickly and said:

"General, it's bad! Daqian's army is coming!"

"what!"

Hearing this, Zhong Chen was in a state of confusion. How dare Daqian do this! Their two countries and Daliang have a total of 60,000 to 70,000 people!

Although Daqian has 80,000 people, 40,000 of them are prisoners. Prisoners who don't even have weapons and armor cannot be considered as combat power at all.

Could it be that Lin Xiaofan is really so confident that 40,000 people can defeat their 60,000 or 70,000 people?

"Are you sure they're here to fight?"

Shi Ning asked, he was also panicking at this time.

If Lin Xiaofan really attacks them, it is unclear whether Lin Xiaofan will be defeated or not, and they will be doomed to die.

"It's absolutely true! Once our scouts are discovered, they will be shot at with arrows."

said the soldier.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank again. They all realized that this time they had really messed up.

"Gather the troops quickly. Also, send someone to the city of Daliang to ask their people to leave the city so that we can defeat the enemy together."

Zhong Chen spoke, then walked out of the general's tent and began to organize the soldiers to assemble.

But the soldiers had been lazy these days, so it was not easy to gather them into a team. It would take at least half an hour to get these 20,000 people in order.

Hope it comes in time.

Zhong Chen's palms were full of sweat, and he sent out several scouts to explore the way.

"Report, Daqian's vanguard is three miles away."

"Report, Daqian's vanguard is still one mile away."

The soldiers' repeated reports made him more and more nervous.

The formation was not complete yet, but an elite force of 5,000 men had already been assembled. He said:

"General Shi, take these five thousand men and go and block them first. Give me another quarter of an hour, and the rest of you can join the battle!"

"promise!"

"Report! Ten miles to the northwest, a cavalry of 10,000 people is coming!"

"What! Where in the hell did Daqian get ten thousand cavalrymen?"

Zhong Chen swallowed hard, and a guess suddenly popped up in his mind.

But he had no time to think about it now, because since the scouts had reported that the cavalry was attacking, they should be not far away.

Looking up, I saw dust flying in the distance and the sound of horses' hooves. In just a moment, a complete cavalry came charging over.

Looking at his soldiers, they are not ready yet.

"Go and stop this cavalry, go!"

he said hurriedly.

The cavalry charged at great speed and arrived in front of them in an instant. The unorganized formation was also broken in an instant.

After entering the army formation, the cavalry quickly split into more than a dozen groups and charged in all directions. Explosions and shouts of killing rang out everywhere.

The 5,000 elite troops also noticed the chaos in the rear, but at the moment they had no time to provide support.

Because in front of them, a heavy cavalry of a thousand men was charging towards them. The black armor was so overwhelming that it made them breathless.

The formations collided, and the heavy cavalry's spears pierced the enemy's bodies. However, the weapons hit their heavy armor, which was difficult to cause damage.

Shi Ning swung his spear and knocked a warhorse to the ground. The heavy cavalry on top fell to the ground, and he pierced the weak spot of the opponent's armor with his spear.

Blood gushed out, the cavalryman let out a muffled groan, threw his weapon aside, grabbed Shi Ning's spear, and exploded with his limited internal strength.

There was a flash of surprise in Shi Ning's eyes. He wanted to draw out his spear, but failed twice.

There was a sound of horse hooves on the left. Looking up, he saw a cavalryman appear on the left, but he was not wearing heavy armor and stabbed at him with a gun.

He couldn't pull out his spear, so he drew out his long sword with his left hand and fought with the cavalryman. The cavalryman staggered and almost fell off his horse, and then he ran away.

Shi Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but found a burning wooden barrel next to him.

Thinking of the successive explosions in the crowd, a bad idea flashed through his mind. He didn't care about his spear at this time and was about to retreat to the side.

But in the panic, the dying heavy cavalryman picked up the weapon beside him and used his last bit of strength to knock Shi Ning to the ground.

With an explosion, Shi Ning died in battle.

Not far away, the Daqian army of nearly 100,000 people came. This elite force also completely lost the power to resist, and either fled in all directions or dropped their weapons and surrendered.

"Where are the people from Daliang? Why haven't they come to support us yet?"

Zhong Chen shouted. Looking into the distance, Daqian's 100,000-strong army was approaching, but there was no trace of Daliang's soldiers.

"They said they were gathering a team and would be here soon!"

said a soldier.

"Damn, they deserve to destroy our country."

Zhong Chen understood clearly that Daliang Kingdom had no intention of coming out.

What's the point of these useless people guarding the city like this? If the city runs out of food, won't they be doomed?

Joining forces with him is the best and only chance. If we leave such a good opportunity unused, do we still expect the 40,000 troops in the city to be able to defeat Lin Xiaofan's army in the future?

But no matter how he cursed, the fact was that he had lost the battle.

Of the more than 10,000 troops under his command, only half were left. When the remaining people saw the slowly approaching 100,000-strong army, their legs became weak. How could they still have any fighting power?

"drop."

Zhong Chen threw away his weapon. The only way to survive was to surrender.

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers stopped resisting.

Cleaning up the battlefield, a total of 10,000 surrendered soldiers were harvested in this battle. However, many of them were injured by Lei Zhenzi's explosion and would not survive for long.

Daqian had no intention of treating them. The battlefield was cruel and there was no need to waste medical resources on prisoners.

Daliang never sent out troops from beginning to end, perhaps because it was afraid of the arrival of Yantian Army.

Jianfeng's face relaxed a lot. At this time, Daliang was within reach, and Daqian's territory would double in the future.

Then came the war of attrition. Every day, the Qingzhou army sent some men with loud voices to the outside of the Daliang capital to call on them to surrender.

Daliang closed the city gates and did not respond.
