Chapter 132 Save me! I'm afraid of death, please save us!
The team continued along the original route. Su Muxi arranged a few more things and asked A'er to deliver the message. She wanted to reach a consensus with her second and third brothers.
The task assigned to Yingge may not be completed. So far, no message has been received, so Su Muxi needs to make preparations for both scenarios.
It is impossible for my father's 80,000 troops to leave without any trace, unless he was not heading here at all, or had to change his route due to some temporary circumstances.
She used to be the defender of Hanshui City, so she was familiar with this area. If they were to change their route temporarily, the only place where so many people could hide would be the Cangliang Mountains.
Thinking of a pottery vase, "A'er, find two people with fast speed to go here and investigate." The location Su Muxi was referring to was the area painted on the pottery vase.
She took the fire stick and pointed the location to Ah Er, "Go this way, as fast as you can."
"Understood." Ah Er turned around to make arrangements.
The sky gradually brightened. An army of 200,000 men from Feng State was approaching Guanyang City. Guanyang City was in danger. The defender of Guanyang City immediately borrowed troops from the two neighboring cities.
The commander of Guanyang City was unaware of the news of the fall of Hanshui City, so when troops came from the direction of Hanshui City, he thought they were reinforcements and directly opened the city gate.
The city gates were lost in a short time and the losses were heavy. Fortunately, few people were let in and Guanyang City survived this wave. The city gates were closed again, but Guanyang City was seriously damaged, with internal and external troubles, and was attacked from all sides.
Between abandoning the city and fleeing, the defenders of Guanyang City chose to defend the city gate to the death. This was their mission.
Su Muxi and his men were pushed to the front amidst the flames of war. "Open the city gates and surrender quickly, or you will be killed without mercy."
The defenders of Guanyang City were disheartened. If they refused to open the city gates, the people of Hanshui City would die. If they opened the city gates and let the people of Feng Kingdom in, the people of Guanyang City would not be spared either.
The defender of Guanyang City was so angry that his teeth were about to break. He picked up the drumstick and was about to beat the war drum. He could not save the people of Hanshui City.
As soon as the drumstick was struck, in order to deter others, the people of Hanshui City would have to die in a circle. Su Muxi pushed Xu Suqing and motioned her to speak.
Xu Suqing nodded and shouted loudly: "Uncle Li, don't underestimate us, just kill us all. The men of Hanshui City are loyal to their country, so we women and children have nothing to fear from death. We only hope that Uncle Li can avenge us."
Xu Suqing spoke in a tragic and heroic manner, ready to die, but was killed by a sword from the soldier beside him. "Open the city gate quickly, or you will all be killed."
When Li Rong, the defender of Guanyang City, saw this tragic scene, his eyes turned red, and the veins on his hand holding the drumstick bulged, but he couldn't lift it at all.
Su Muxi saw Li Rong looking over here, raised his hands and waved his arms, "Save me! I'm afraid of death, please save us!"
His red eyes suddenly widened. What did he see? It was a signal to open the gate to meet the enemy, to cooperate with the enemy from inside and outside. It was his own people. The drumstick in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. He had persisted for so long that he really thought he was going to sacrifice himself to this city. "Don't kill me. I'll open the gate. I'll open the gate."
Manniu is the general who protects the country of Yu. His eyes are full of ruthlessness at this moment. He wishes he could kill the soldier who was showing off his power and killing the people just now with one sword. Why should he use the people to force him when he is in a situation where he is sure to win?
When two countries go to war, they will not kill civilians. They imprisoned the people of Hanshui City only because they were afraid that they might do something bad.
This strategy was proposed by Feng Guo. His master disdains to use it, but it will not do them any harm to fight without bloodshed.
So the master asked them to stay and guard the people of Hanshui City.
He was full of anger, but thinking of his master's instructions, he suppressed his desire to kill and said, "Surrender your weapons and abandon the city."
"I hope you can keep your word and not kill you if you surrender your weapons." Li Rong stood on the city wall and waved his hand violently, as if he was going to die. The soldiers guarding the city threw all their weapons off the city wall.
Just now, they thought that the reinforcements from Hanshui City had opened the city gates, but suffered heavy losses. Now, in order to save the people of Hanshui City, the city gates were opened again. The bodies that had not been cleaned up in time were scattered all around. The bluestone ground at the city gate was stained red with blood.
Su Muxi walked on the blood-stained ground and exchanged information with Li Rong. Li Rong's heart was made up when he saw Su Muxi. He nodded slightly at Su Muxi, then passed by.
The soldiers of the Yu Country entered the city first, followed by the escorted people. Manniu commanded the soldiers to besiege the soldiers of Guanyang City, and then counted the weapons and food.
A smile appeared on his lips. According to the agreement with Feng Kingdom, they would use the people to force the defenders of Guanyang City to open the outer city gate, allowing Feng Kingdom to march straight in and directly kill into Yun Dynasty.
But how could his master do such a thankless task? Naturally, he had to hold the city in his own hands before he could negotiate with Yun Chao.
As soon as they entered the city gate, they occupied two cities of Yun Dynasty, and half of the northwest belonged to Yu Kingdom. Thinking of this, Manniu couldn't stop getting excited, and the depression that he had been suppressed by Yun Dynasty at the beginning was also relieved a lot.
But his smile did not last long, because Su Muxi's knife was already on his neck.
"Your general is in my hands. If you are smart, put down your weapons. I will not kill you if you surrender."
Li Rong had already made preparations before opening the city gate. He picked up a weapon from the ground and killed a disobedient Rain Country soldier. "Surrender your weapons and we will not kill you."
At this time, the positions were reversed, and Li Rong's voice was deep and his momentum was high.
The bull was fooled and went a little crazy. He was too strong and used brute force to push Su Muxi away, shouting loudly, "Kill him, kill him!"
Su Muxi's knife cut from the neck to the chest. Although she used force, the iron armor protected the bull and he was only seriously injured, but his life was not in danger.
The people brought by Er protected the people behind them and formed a pincer attack with Li Rong.
"Princess," Ah Er shouted and threw the spear he found to Su Muxi.
The barbarian bull had thick skin and tough flesh, and Su Muxi's knife was bent. She threw the knife away, caught the gun thrown by Ah Er in mid-air, and chopped down at the barbarian bull's head. Su Muxi used all her strength in this move. The barbarian bull's arm was slightly bent, and the tip of the gun was against the opponent's knife, and it was just a point away from injuring the opponent's eyes.
Manniu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his head high and pushed the gun back with his arm. He ignored the pain and took two steps back to avoid the opponent's attack.
Su Muxi didn't give him a chance to dodge. After failing to defeat him with one move, she launched another move, stabbing him in the injured left side.
Under Su Muxi's rapid attack, Manniu was defeated step by step. He was already injured, and Su Muxi specifically attacked him where he was injured.
He was quite clever with her. He provoked her with his spear, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, in an unpredictable way. Manniu could no longer hold on and was hit in the throat by Su Muxi, killing him.
He could never have imagined that he would be defeated by a woman in the end. He died unwillingly, with his eyes as big as copper bells.
After killing the enemy's leading general, the morale of the soldiers in Guanyang City soared as the city went from being besieged to being trapped.
"We surrender, we surrender." When the soldiers of the Rain Country saw that their general had been killed, their army was in disarray and they threw down their weapons one after another. "We surrender, don't kill the surrendered."
