Chapter 69 Victory
The army of less than 60,000 was head-on to break through the camp with more than 200,000 people, which sounds like a fantasy, but in this continent dominated by cultivators, such battles of winning with less are not uncommon. Of course, the most important point is that the management system was completely paralyzed with a wave of attacks.
Almost all the main generals in the army were killed in that wave of attacks. Although the grassroots generals were still there, no one issued a unified order. When Zhao Zihao led his troops in, some wanted to defend the camp and some wanted to escape.
On the side near the river bank, Li Mu and Tengfang led the navy to continuously throw ignition oil tanks into the camp. The fire began to spread from here, and many people were in a hurry to put out the fire. In the camp of more than 200,000 people, countless soldiers rushed around like headless flies. When Jiang Cheng finally fell from the sky, their marshal Zhu Shouen disappeared, and a group of remaining guards completely lost their fighting spirit.
Perhaps Jiang Cheng would take into account the fact that he would be punished by heaven and would not attack ordinary soldiers, but the senior generals are not considered mortals. It is easy to say that those in the Qi training realm are killed. Those generals in the Foundation Establishment Realm can kill as soon as they want, and their lives are threatened. How can they have the mood to resist stubbornly?
Of course, there are also some soldiers who do not believe in evil and use arrows to shoot Jiang Cheng floating in the air.
"Zhu Shouen has left, do you still have to resist stubbornly?" Jiang Cheng glared at him, and the arrows that shot towards him were paused in the air, and then flew backwards in the direction of the arrows. The Heavenly Dao did not allow cultivators to kill creatures, but if these mortals took the initiative to provoke trouble and were killed, it was not that the Heavenly Dao did not protect him, but that they were committing death by themselves.
In an instant, at least four or five hundred people were shot dead by the arrows they shot out.
With some of the courage that had just gathered, with Jiang Cheng's simple move, the more than 200,000 troops completely lost the intention to continue shooting. This was no longer a force that human power could resist.
No one dared to attack Jiang Cheng anymore, and Jiang Cheng didn't attack anyone anymore. He just floated quietly in the sky, looking down at the panicked and helpless being with a downward attitude. At this moment, he truly felt a feeling of looking down at all.
All living beings are like ants, and they seem to be able to slap these people to death with just one slap. That feeling is hard to describe in words.
Although Jiang Cheng did not take action, his arrival formed an invisible sense of oppression, which also accelerated the defeat of the Dakang Dynasty army.
The village gate was captured by Zhao Zihao, and many Dakang soldiers whose will to resist had been disintegrated. Many people knelt on the ground to surrender. After so many years of fighting in the three dynasties, their concept of the country was very vague. What's more, the Dakang Dynasty governed its military affairs with civil and military personnel, and regarded the lower-level soldiers as ants. The sense of belonging of these soldiers was not strong. Jiang Cheng's former reputation in the Dakang Dynasty was also a reason.
After not fierce resistance, most of the Kang army chose to surrender. After the initial battle, Zhao Zihao almost arranged people to accept the surrendered army, which was what Jiang Cheng meant.
The main army of the Great Kun Dynasty was concentrated in Yuan Liang and the King of Zhenhai in the south. This time, Jiang Cheng wanted to become the main force along the way. Although Wang Ting gave him great autonomy, it was impossible for Jiang Cheng to give too much support in terms of military strength. Everything had to be found by Jiang Cheng himself. These surrendered troops were Jiang Cheng's target.
Li Mu and Tengfang led their troops to log in to the city of Duoyang. Because Duoyang City was burned, the food and grass in the city had been transferred to the front line by Zhu Shouen. Therefore, Duoyang City was easily taken down by two people. Many soldiers who surrendered to Duoyang City were desperate and had no choice but to surrender.
In the evening of the next day, Zhao Zihao and Li Mu came to Jiang Cheng excitedly and bowed and said, "Master, our army has collected 130,000 surrendered troops in this battle. In addition to our soldiers, there are already 200,000 troops this time, and it is not difficult to occupy the East China Sea."
"No rush in this matter!" Jiang Cheng smiled and summed up the data directions of the people below, shook his head and smiled.
"The governor, you must not miss the opportunity!" Li Mu hurriedly said: "Da Kang Dynasty suffered this severe damage. In a short period of time, it may be difficult for us to gather enough troops. If our army does not take the opportunity to occupy the East China Sea, it will be difficult for the Da Kang Dynasty to send new troops."
"What after occupying the East China Sea?" Jiang Cheng did not answer directly, but asked back.
"Of course, we set up defense lines, open a banner and restorate the people, and prepare to fight the counterattack of the Dakang Dynasty." Li Mudao.
"This is the map of the East China Sea. If our army really occupies the East China Sea, how can the 200,000 troops be deployed?" Jiang Cheng waved his hand and a huge three-dimensional image appeared in front of the two.
The East China Sea land belongs to the plain terrain and hundreds of cities. If they are really occupied, how to set up defenses is a difficult problem.
A 200,000 army sounds like a lot, but in fact, if it is scattered, there are not many, and it is easy to be defeated by the other side. We cannot expect that the next commander of the Dakang Dynasty will be Zhu Shouen, who only wants to defeat the enemy with one treasure, right?
"This is not the most important thing." Jiang Cheng saw that Li Mu was silent and pointed at the cities and said: "The people's hearts have not yet been attached. At this time, it will only cause the people to resist. If we do not extend our hands with the people, our army's supply will only be transported from the Great Kang Dynasty. Not to mention whether there will be risks during this period, the lengthening of the supply line will be enough to make our army fall into the quagmire of war and cannot advance or retreat."
"The general is worried, but the general is anxious." Li Mu smiled bitterly. He was too eager to return to his hometown and too eager to rebuild the Li family.
"Then we can't move troops, but we also need to recall the troops from Duoyang." Jiang Cheng pointed to the map and smiled: "This is in the Dakang Dynasty, which is a place to store grain, but for our army, it is an enclave. If the enemy garrisons here, our army can harass the navy, but if our army occupy this city, it is equivalent to having to divide its troops to garrison."
"I am telling my general, and I ordered Teng Fang to set off tomorrow to bring back the troops in the city, and leave a portion of the grain in the city for the people of Tengyang City." Jiang Cheng ordered.
"Yes." Li Mu nodded.
Zhao Zihao bowed and said, "Master, what should I do next?"
"Train the surrendered army, and wait for news from the Wangting." Jiang Cheng leaned on the back of the handsome chair: "Now the Dakang gate has been opened. What I said about the next step is not the final word. It depends on the meaning of the Wangting."
Although Jiang Cheng Jiusheng is sure that Zhao Yin will definitely want to unify the world as soon as possible because he can't afford it, there are indeed many problems in the affairs of the court, especially the war between the two major powers. After all, the Dakun Dynasty has just annexed the Daxia Dynasty, and it is not wise to start another war in such a short time. Moreover, many of the interests of these are unclear. Even Zhao Yin may not be able to convince the court officials in a short period of time, and some people may even take this opportunity to sue themselves.
