Chapter 1644: Chapter 518: The Will of the Defenders, Crushing Force, The Disappearance of the Yang Family Members (3)
Xia Hong looked at the two corpses, a slight trace of anger flashed across his face.
If it were a normal battle, even if Mo Yu and his partner joined forces, they wouldn’t be a match for him. The problem was that these two were smart enough to hide among the garrison on the city wall, avoiding direct combat in the air with him.
In the span of those few dozen breaths, he had at least slain three to four hundred garrison soldiers before successfully killing the two.
The resistance of the Beishuo garrison made him appreciate it, yet also left him somewhat annoyed.
If both sides were equally matched, that would be one thing, but this is clearly a losing situation. Still, the Beishuo soldiers held firm for more than half an hour with sheer loyalty to Yang Zhun.
"Brothers, don’t be afraid, the Lord won’t abandon us. Keep stalling the Xia Dogs, until the Lord arrives, we’ll win!"
"Stop the Xia Dogs, kill one and it’s worth it, kill two and it’s a profit. Even in death, hold them back!"
"There’s no surrender for Beishuo people, brothers, kill!"
......
Xia Hong’s persuasion to surrender surprisingly still failed to work!
With the thunderous roars of several dozens of Beishuo generals and officers, the majority of the Beishuo soldiers behind the city gate, like they were injected with adrenaline, reorganized their resistance.
Of course, not everyone was like this.
There were also Beishuo soldiers who laid down their weapons and surrendered, but compared to those attempting to continue resisting, their numbers were negligible—Xia Hong estimated there were less than a hundred.
"Since you’re seeking death, I’ll fulfill your loyalty..."
Xia Hong slightly inhaled, a touch of coldness swept across his pupils, and he ordered below in a deep voice: "Yue Feng, Liu Yuan, Xiao Kangcheng, continue to lead the troops to attack. From now on, anyone armored or armed, regardless of gender or age, shall be viewed as enemy forces, leave none alive!"
Leave none alive...
Even though the noise on the battlefield was deafening and chaotic, the chilling intent behind Xia Hong’s last four words was clearly conveyed to everyone’s ears.
"I surrender... I surrender..."
Pfft...
"Traitor, a few words scared you?"
"Beishuo lads, better to die standing than live kneeling, never surrender to Great Xia, brothers!"
"Xia Dogs, you dare not..."
Pfft!
Seeing the Beishuo garrison still had generals and officers continuously speaking to incite, Xia Hong stopped wasting words, swiftly landed on the city wall, picked up a longsword and hurled it towards those shouting loudly.
His casual force, measured in tens of hundredweights, was not something a mere Cold Resistance Level could withstand. The longsword hit the ground, forming a five or six-meter pit, taking away the lives of dozens of Beishuo soldiers, including several Beishuo generals speaking to incite others.
Xia Hong stopped speaking, retrieved the Dragon Sparrow Saber from the city wall, allowed Mo Yu and his partner’s corpses to fall to the ground, pointed toward the direction of Beishuo City and shouted fiercely: "Kill..."
"Charge!"
"Slaughter all Beishuo dogs!"
"Kill..."
......
The final charge had finally begun.
In less than a hundred breaths, twenty Divine Machine Crossbows escorted by the Dragon Forbidden Captain crossed the city gate, directly entering the city to assist the front line Xia Army in continuing to destroy the Beishuo garrison’s defenses.
"An assault battle, with negligible casualties, this Golden Body Pill is indeed a Divine Grade, though the quantity is limited. If there were enough, even the towns of Wuchuan, Jin Mountain, and Yangqu could be effortlessly broken..."
Xia Hong roughly scanned the battlefield, noticing the Xia Army’s casualty situation, his pupils full of excitement.
At that moment, two voices came from above.
"The south gate is broken, why don’t you surrender quickly?"
"The north gate is broken, why don’t you surrender?"
Xia Hong naturally recognized the voices of Xia Chuan and Mu Longhe. Before he could raise his head to look, they quickly flew toward him.
"Big brother, I just interrogated a few defectors, Yang Zhun gathered all his blood relatives in the Lord’s Hall before dawn, it seems he intends to perform some Deceitful Secret Technique..."
"I know!"
Xia Hong immediately waved his hand, looking up towards the west side’s Lord’s Hall, sneering, and continued to ask: "Have the six Xianyang Level from Chen Cang showed up?"
"Two at the north gate, both from Chen Cang, I killed one."
"Two Xianyang Level at the south gate, also from Chen Cang, I couldn’t kill them, please forgive me, Lord."
Upon hearing Mu Longhe’s apology, Xia Hong waved his hand, indicating no concern.
In the city, including Yang Zhun, there are 12 Xianyang Level, 6 from Chen Cang not counting the Chu Xuan Kong with severed arms, leaving only 5, yet 4 showed up for defense.
On the contrary, among Beishuo’s five, only Mo Haiwen and Yu Dongxin, two outsiders with Xianyang Level, appeared.
"Yang Rong, Yang Xing, Yang Cang, the three Xianyang Level that didn’t appear in Beishuo, all blood relatives of the Yang Family, must be assisting Yang Zhun in executing the Deceitful Secret Technique. Dispatch some to blockade the west gate, others continue to clear the remaining soldiers within the city. Don’t approach the Lord’s Hall, I’m going to take a look..."
Upon hearing Xia Hong’s words, Xia Chuan’s expression tightened, preparing to speak out against.
Yet Xia Hong didn’t give him the chance to speak, and once he finished, he immediately flew towards the Lord’s Hall’s direction.
