Chapter 295 Conquering Qiangzhou County
The King of Jin's anxious and vaguely uneasy heart gradually relaxed as they spoke one by one.
Yes, no matter how powerful Bai Li is, she is just one person. Can she defeat thousands of troops?
It seems that he had overestimated her before, which was a bit of a boost to others' ambitions and a loss of his own prestige.
That night, King Jin had a rare good sleep.
Who knew that on that night, Simon would completely change.
The number of garrisons in Qiangzhou County increased from 10,000 to 50,000.
However, of the 50,000 defenders, only 20,000 were in the city, and 30,000 were stationed in a barracks five miles outside the city.
In the middle of the night, the barracks of 30,000 defenders was flooded. In an instant, flames shot up into the sky from the tent house and stables, burning people and horses to the ground and causing screams to fill the air.
Such a big noise even alarmed the defenders in the city. The defending general Xiao Xiong personally led 10,000 soldiers to put out the fire.
While they were busy putting out the fire, an explosion suddenly occurred in the fire scene. After a few loud bangs, thousands of people were knocked over and nearly 10,000 people died tragically.
Before they could react, the entire barracks was surrounded. Wave after wave of crossbow arrows came rushing in, making the unprepared defenders dizzy and killing them one after another.
Xiao Xiong broke out with the help of his kung fu and wanted to go back to the city for help, but when he looked up, he saw a huge machete standing in front of him, with the blade shining coldly.
Behind the big knife was a petite black figure.
Xiao Xiong sensed that the person coming had ill intentions, so he slowly raised his long knife and glared at him.
"Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Bai Li wiped her nose with her thumb and shouted, "I am Bai Li of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I am here to take your dog's head!"
"Bai Li? Marshal Bai, the general of the Great Zhou's Western Expedition?"
"Yes, it's me, your great aunt!"
"You people of the Great Zhou are so shameless. Why are you running here to our Simon to act wild instead of staying in your Great Zhou?"
"I'll have to ask your good King Jin about this. He's been plotting and scheming against my Great Zhou, trying to kidnap our generals. Can you swallow this insult?!"
"These……"
Xiao Xiong wanted to say that her words were not enough, but at this point, there was no point in saying anything more.
"What? You still think I would wrongly accuse your King Jin? The evidence is all here, you can't deny it even if you want to!"
By this time, Xiao Xiong had already believed what Bai Li said.
But now the hostility between the two countries is a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in talking about misunderstandings.
So what are you waiting for?
Just kill him!
"You killed my soldiers and burned my barracks. You are courting death! Kill!"
Xiao Xiong danced with his long sword like a Hot Wheels and attacked Bai Li with the force of thunder.
Bai Li raised his toes, holding a hundred-jin machete tightly in his hand, and when the machete came in front of him, he raised his hand and struck!
A sharp collision sound was heard, Xiao Xiong's palm felt numb, and he could no longer lift his arm. The long sword almost slipped out of his hand!
The girl is so strong!
He knew he was no match for his opponent, so he switched his long sword to his left hand and tried to escape with a feint. Bai Li saw through his ruse and chased him relentlessly, slashing at his back with his machete!
Xiao Xiong dodged to the left at the sound of the sword breaking through the air, but not only did he fail to dodge, but he just straightened his body and was split in half from head to toe by the sword!
The several generals who escaped with him were so frightened by the tragic scene that they forgot to resist. They were shot in the throat by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
"Luo Yang, you and Wu Lanzhi clean up the mess. Big brother, second brother, follow me!"
Because Xiao Xiong came out to put out the fire, the city gate was wide open, which made it convenient for Bai Li.
Bai Li led the way, holding a big knife, and headed straight for the Qiangzhou city gate five miles away.
The flames here were shooting up into the sky, and the defenders on the city wall were busy watching whether the flames were extinguished. They did not notice at all that a group of black-clad troops were quickly approaching from under the city wall.
By the time they realized something was wrong and shot arrows to close the city gate, Bai Li had already reached the city gate. A wave of crossbow arrows shot down the defenders on the high wall. Bai Li inserted a big knife into the only remaining gap in the door and forcibly pried open the heavy door that was about to close.
Bai Dalang and his brothers immediately pried the door open from both sides. Bai Li took a few steps back, took a jump, and kicked the door!
The door opened with a sound, and the dozen or so soldiers who were holding the door were knocked to the ground by the huge impact. Bai Dalang and his men immediately killed them.
"It's not as strong as my younger sister's!"
Bai Dalang didn't forget to brag despite his busy schedule.
“Be careful!”
Bai Li helped him block an arrow and glared at him unhappily.
"Big brother, second brother, you just fight your way in, I'll go up to the city wall."
Bai Li gave an order and turned to charge towards the city wall.
She held a crossbow that could be fired with one hand in her left hand and a machete in her right hand, killing her way forward and being invincible.
Bai Dalang and his brothers followed orders and led thousands of people to attack the city. Their mission was to prevent the defenders in the city from coming to reinforce.
The battle lasted less than two hours, with the Qiangzhou defenders completely wiped out and only a few dozen Bai Li soldiers slightly injured.
With the experience of taking over Qinzhou, Luo Yang, Wu Lanzhi and others took people to do the follow-up matters without Bai Li's instructions.
Eliminate the remaining enemies, arrest the government officials and runners, appease the people, ask them to move the bodies, etc.
But this time, Bai Li participated in the bottom-fishing among officials of all ranks in the government office.
Those officials were caught in their beds and had not yet reacted. They watched in confusion as the soldiers of the Great Zhou entered their homes, took all their people under control, and then ransacked their homes and took away their belongings.
Bai Li was most interested in the matter of house confiscation.
It feels like opening a blind box, and I get unexpected surprises every time.
She didn't care that it was the middle of the night and it was still dark. It would be dawn in less than an hour anyway, so she decided to just stay awake and ransack their house first.
She started with the homes of the highest-ranking officials, the governors and princesses.
These two people must be the same nest of snakes and rats. Even their mansions are on the same street, each occupying one end. The mansions are as big as football fields.
Bai Li walked around the two people's house before ordering the soldiers to go in and move their things.
"Move all their treasures to the government storehouse, and store all the grain in the warehouse."
Bai Li was also overwhelmed by the mountains of gold and silver in the mansions of these two people.
Not to mention the countless rare treasures and precious medicinal materials.
Unexpectedly, these two people are two big parasites. I don’t know how much of the people’s money and various treasury silver they have embezzled to accumulate so much wealth.
Bai Li took half of their gold and silver, and confiscated the other half to support the army and the people.
She took all the precious medicinal herbs, and she would use them when the soldiers needed them.
After searching the homes of these officials, it was already dawn.
All of Bai Li's people entered the city, the soldiers settled in the barracks, and the generals gathered in the government office.
Everyone looked at the piles of pearls, agates and other treasures in the government yard, and they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
When they learned that these were the remaining items in the warehouse besides those moved into the government office, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped!
