Chapter 116: First in the World (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)

The soldiers rushed forward like a tide, and several ladders had been set up.

Soldiers continued to climb up and take up a position on the city wall.

A sparse rain of arrows occasionally shot down from the city walls, but compared to the huge number of troops, it was like a mosquito bite, insignificant.

Liu Xuanqi, the commander-in-chief of Daqing, was riding on a tall horse, looking at another crumbling city about to fall into his hands, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

On his helmet were three brightly colored feathers of unknown birds fluttering in the wind. They were as red as fire and as dazzling as diamonds. From a distance, they looked like three red-burning incense sticks.

There was a report that a fast horse was galloping and rushing to his side.

"Report to the commander, the troops from Da Yue, Da Qi and Da Yong have sent a letter asking us to move faster."

The news brought by the messenger had nothing to do with the war in the city before them.

Yes, this city is about to change hands, so is there anything special that needs to be paid attention to?

What is really worth worrying about is the overall strategy of the coalition.

Ever since Zhang Qihan was killed by him, the coalition forces of the four nations have been invincible wherever they go!

In order to achieve the greatest results as quickly as possible, the coalition forces must of course act separately, and reap the most fruitful results before the Dayue Temple receives the news and responds, in order to prepare for the subsequent continued fighting.

However, compared with the continuous advancement of the other three countries, the speed of Daqing seems much slower.

After all, it would take a lot of time to massacre a city after occupying it.

"I see."

The smile on Liu Xuanqi's face faded, and he waved his hand in displeasure, cursing almost wantonly: "A bunch of idiots, how can you understand the beauty of war?"

Beside him, the adjutant with two bird feathers stuck in his body seemed a little frightened and did not dare to respond.

There has never been a shortage of ruthless people in this world, but there are not many who do not take other people's lives seriously at all. They are willing to slaughter hundreds of thousands of people at will, and there are probably not many people who are so ruthless that they can slaughter people continuously.

He met such a person and he stayed by his side all the time.

It was hard to describe what kind of feeling this was. He only remembered that the first time he followed Liu Xuanqi to visit the city after the massacre, he almost vomited all his bile.

Later he became almost mute and dared not look anyone in the eye.

Whenever he saw those people's eyes, he couldn't help but remember everything he saw at that time.

Victory in war is certainly worthy of joy and pride, but after victory, is it really a good thing to turn the blade against the people who have no power to resist, to torture and vent their anger with the greatest evil in the world?

He couldn't understand: after the army under his command had done such a thing, would he be able to receive the care of the Wuji God when his soul returned to the Wuji Heaven?

These confusions weighed heavily on him. Even though it was still hot and humid at this time of year and he was wearing quite heavy and fine armor, cold sweat soaked his back.

However, even though he lowered his head like an ostrich, Liu Xuanqi still looked at him.

That wanton and somewhat arrogant voice resounded loudly in his ears. Liu Xuanqi asked in a questioning tone, "Your Highness, you have been following me all the time. I wonder what you think of this?"

The adjutant, addressed as His Highness, raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes full of fear and anxiety under his visor. When he saw Liu Xuanqi's all-seeing eyes like an eagle, he seemed to be wounded by a sharp sword and could not help but lower his head immediately.

But the feeling of being watched lingered for a long time, and he knew that Liu Xuanqi was still waiting for his answer.

So he answered the question irrelevantly and asked: "Will this city be massacred as well?"

The voice was extremely soft, trembling a little, so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Liu Xuanqi looked at him and suddenly laughed.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

The wild and merciless laughter drowned out the shouts of the army. For some reason, the adjutant's face turned red, and an emotion that was difficult to describe in words surged in his heart, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

Liu Xuanqi was laughing so hard that he fell backwards. His almost exaggerated laughter and swaying body made people worry that he would accidentally fall off the horse because of laughing too hard.

But the laughter stopped abruptly.

Liu Xuanqi, the commander of Daqing, said in a voice as cold as ice: "My beloved Highness, what do you think of war? Just a child's play?!"

The adjutant lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and naturally did not answer.

Liu Xuanqi continued to talk to himself, "That Zhang Qihan, his head is still hanging on the flagpole. But you should not have forgotten how enthusiastically he led Dayue's troops to hunt down our people some time ago! You ran slowly at that time, and it is said that you were so scared that you peed your pants. I wonder if it is true? Hmm?!"

Although he used honorifics, his words were merciless.

The adjutant buried his head in his chest and couldn't utter a word.

Although he was an adjutant in name only, in reality he had no control over anything in the army.

Even such a major event as the Four-Nation Alliance had not been heard by him before.

What this represents to Daqing is self-evident.

Being the eldest son is not necessarily a good thing. He has too many responsibilities on his shoulders, but he is not an outstanding or gifted person. To put it nicely, his character is generous, but to put it bluntly, he is cowardly.

Compared with his father's great talent and strategy, he was completely powerless.

In Daqing, there is a tradition of deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son.

However, usually one last chance will be given before the eldest son is deposed and the youngest son is enthroned.

For example, this war.

Unfortunately, he had not received any news in advance, and his performance was no different from that of ordinary soldiers, and he was even more embarrassed.

If his personal soldiers had not carried him away at the critical moment, he might have really died at the hands of those ferocious Dayue soldiers.

With his poor performance, or rather, he was so shameful that he was no longer qualified to continue being the "Highness" of Daqing. However, the war was not over yet, and he had to follow the army until everything was over.

At that time, he too will be thoroughly judged and cast into the dust.

This was completely predictable and a tacit "secret" known to everyone. His opinion was never the key to deciding anything, but more like a mosquito buzzing in a group of people.

So he didn't say anything, because he knew that Liu Xuanqi didn't want to hear his opinions or suggestions. He was simply very unhappy that the other three countries were putting pressure on him, so he just chose a random excuse to vent his anger.

As expected, Liu Xuanqi did not wait for his reply and continued, "To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself! When Zhang Qihan slaughtered our soldiers, he had no mercy at all. How come Your Highness has compassion when we slaughtered the people of Dayue? Could it be that in your heart, the importance of Daqing soldiers is not as important as Dayue?"

This is the questioning.

The adjutant finally raised his head, which had been buried all the time, and mustered up the courage to say, "No, no, I just think that killing for the sake of killing will be blamed by Wujitian."

Wujitian is the most worshipped "god" in Daqing. The people of Daqing believe that after death, each of them will return to Wujitian and receive rewards or punishments from Wujitian based on their glory in life.

It is precisely because of this that the people of Daqing are tough and many are brave and good at fighting. He is more like an alien, an alien who should not have been born in Daqing.

"Wujitian blames?"

Liu Xuanqi looked at the eldest prince with a strange look. He was supposed to be the adjutant of Daqing's heir. The sarcasm in his eyes seemed to be turning into reality.

Ha. As a prince, you actually believed this kind of words that fooled the people?!

There is no such thing as karma in this world!

Not to mention after death!

People say that if you kill too many people, you will suffer misfortune, but he has killed countless people along the way, and he is still fine.

Even Zhang Qihan, who was known as the Great Moon God of War, had killed fewer people? It was not until he met him that he was punished!

Those Taoist priests who only know how to cheat and deceive made up these statements in order to deceive the ignorant people. It would be fine if they could deceive the fools who kept their heads buried in the ground, but this guy who could have been above everyone else actually believed in those nonsense statements?

What a waste of such a good identity! "Your Highness, you are truly a god!"

After a pause, Liu Xuanqi did not continue to mock him, as he had lost the fun of teasing him.

With such a guy who is worse than a rabbit, and with his sympathy that is not worth mentioning, he can't accomplish anything. I'm afraid he still thinks he is a saint with compassion for the world, right? It's a waste of your saliva to talk to him! If he doesn't speak, His Highness will naturally not take the initiative to speak. Instead, another adjutant beside him saw the opportunity and immediately flattered him.

"Your Highness has never been in a battle, so you may not know. Sometimes a war is fought with just one breath! The commander used the pain of cutting off the tail to lure out Dayue's 100,000 troops, and only then was this favorable situation finally established! If we want to achieve a greater victory, we must achieve irreversible results in the shortest possible time, before Dayue is mobilized.

Massacre is just a means for the commander to let the remaining cities of Dayue know the consequences of resistance! Although our speed is slightly slower than the other three countries, you can see that the city in front of you is defeated faster than the previous cities. This is the benefit of massacre! As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Slow down now so that you can go faster in the future! Who says that only saints can decide things by issuing orders? As long as we massacre a few more cities, the commander will surely surrender to the city he points to and dare not resist! "

These remarks were all quotations from classics, and it was obvious that they were not thought up in a hurry. It was probably that he had them in mind long ago and was just waiting for an opportunity.

As expected, Liu Xuanqi looked over, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Do you understand it well?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I have only learned a few basic things from the commander, which is not even a fraction of what you have learned," the adjutant said flatteredly, lowering his head while speaking, showing his humility.

"very good."

Liu Xuanqi glanced over and said firmly: "Since you know so much, you will be the first one to attack the next city. If you can't conquer it by issuing an order, then there is no need to come back."

"I"

The adjutant, who wanted to take the opportunity to flatter the emperor, froze there, his face turning as pale and weak as wax.

"Why? Do you have any objection?"

Liu Xuanqi's brows slightly frowned, his voice was not low, but it made people shudder.

"I obey your orders!"

The adjutant gritted his teeth and nodded, hating himself for wanting to flatter such a vicious man.

The bodyguards around him all looked at their noses with their eyes, looked at their mouths with their noses, and looked at their hearts with their mouths. They seemed to have heard nothing, and it seemed as if they had long been accustomed to it.

The surroundings gradually became quiet.

Liu Xuanqi looked into the distance. He knocked on the gate of another city. Like a woman who had taken off her clothes, she was at the mercy of others from now on.

Daqing's soldiers rushed in excitedly! "Hahaha, my men! Everything you want is ahead! Treasures, beauties, honor and status. Follow me, and I can give you all these things!"

Liu Xuanqi shouted in response loudly. His ambition to conquer the world was greatly satisfied at this moment. He encouraged his soldiers generously. Just as he was about to ride his horse forward, he suddenly heard some exclamations from behind him.

Behind you?

He turned his head and looked behind him.

I saw a group of people rushing towards this side.

The group of people were wearing simple clothes. Even the farmers in the Daqing field would probably be dressed better than them.

But those people were clearly holding shining weapons in their hands, and judging from the reflection alone, they were definitely not something that ordinary people could hold.

Who is this person wearing such tattered clothes and holding such a good weapon?

His brows were slightly raised, but there was no sign of panic.

With his eyesight and experience, it was not difficult for him to judge that the number of these guys rushing over would not exceed three thousand at most.

His soldiers numbered tens of thousands. Even if most of them were in the front, there were still tens of thousands of them behind him! Just three thousand men, without even a piece of armor, what was that? At most, they were just fools with bloody courage!

They are probably a group of rangers who have gotten carried away and dared to risk their lives on the spur of the moment. Their final outcome will definitely not be good.

"Someone from the Mohist School?!"

On the contrary, His Highness, who had been keeping his head down, looked up when he heard the noise behind him. After seeing that group of people, he shouted out in surprise.

"What Mohist school?"

Liu Xuanqi stopped his horse, glanced over and asked.

"Then that group of people should be the Mohist people from Dayue."

He pointed at the group of people who were charging towards him and answered.

"I'm asking you, what do they do! And how do you know?!"

Liu Xuanqi's face turned dark and his voice became cold.

As the commander-in-chief of Daqing, how could his information be behind this useless person who had long been sidelined? Even he knew about it, but I didn't? !

It seems that the army has not been completely cleared. His tone was too harsh, and the prince of Daqing was frightened and said with some hesitation: "The Mo family is a gang in Dayue. It is mainly a group of people who get together to do justice."

Because Liu Xuanqi's tone made him too nervous, his words were not clear.

But Liu Xuanqi still understood and sneered: "A group of rangers, right? I thought they were something else!"

Rangers are inevitable in any country.

They are probably a group of guys who have nothing to do after eating and are crazy about becoming famous all day long.

He claims to be doing justice for the heavens, but in reality he is willing to do anything to become famous. How can he be admired? If the difference in strength is not big, a single ranger may win beautifully when fighting against a soldier.

But if ten rangers fight against ten soldiers, it's a fifty-fifty fight.

If the number of people was larger, to a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand, the Rangers would surely be defeated! And right now, there were only about three thousand Rangers, and they wanted to charge into his army?

It's just a fool's dream.

But it’s still nice to have a good show to watch, just think of it as a unique appetizer.

"Come, let me see. What level of people can be cared about by His Highness, who doesn't even care about the war?" Liu Xuanqi pulled the reins and looked in that direction leisurely.

The group of rangers was not as undisciplined as he thought.

The three thousand people looked like an arrow. The man in the front was exceptionally tall and strong, with a dark complexion, and wearing the simplest short brown clothes.

The strange thing was that the others were holding weapons, but he was the only one who rushed to the front, but he was unarmed! How could he charge into the army? Was he here to die? Liu Xuanqi was a little surprised. How could there be such a madman?

Soon, the man in the front collided with the big blue soldiers.

The distance was quite far, and I couldn't see what was happening.

The Daqing soldier who first came into contact with that man was thrown into the air!
