Chapter 77
On the other hand, Nie Gandang also led the Flying Tiger Army to kill all the Yong army who were blocking him.
Seeing that Sima Hu was killed by Yuan Ge, he couldn't help but shout happily: "Okay!"
Then he rushed over, slashed Sima Hu's head with a knife, picked it up with a long spear, jumped to the watchtower and shouted loudly-
"Sima Hu is dead, don't you surrender yet?"
The loud voice spread throughout the battlefield like the howling wind.
At this time, the Yong army's formation had been killed by Lian Cheng, Xiaoqing, and Chihu, and the Flying Tiger Army.
A small number of Yong army soldiers had even collapsed and turned around and fled.
In addition, in the previous battle, many of them were killed by Lian Cheng and the Flying Tiger Army. At this time, the troops were at a clear disadvantage. When he heard the loud shout of General Nie Gandang, many people threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
Although the Yong army is the elite of the world, it is also a human being and is afraid of death.
What's more, there were previous cases of Yong's army being captured by Yun's Kingdom and then redeemed, and these Yong's army's desire to fight to the death was even weaker.
At first, a small group of people kneeled down and surrendered.
Then, as if it was contagious, more and more Yong army soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt down.
In just over a dozen breaths, nearly 70% of the remaining Wan Yongjun on the battlefield knelt down 70% to 80%.
However, there were also a small number of Yong troops who had no intention of surrendering at all and were still resisting.
Seeing this, Lian Cheng showed no mercy and quickly killed this part of the stubborn Yong army with the Flying Tiger Army.
At this point, Nie Gandang and Liancheng looked at each other and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the two assigned soldiers to investigate the enemy situation around them, and then divided some people to defend themselves on the spot, which allowed the rest of the soldiers and the military and civilians to clean the battlefield.
The primary purpose of cleaning the battlefield is naturally to find the injured and undead soldiers on your side to treat them.
The second is to collect and organize useful materials - mainly local food and supplies.
Finally, we deal with the prisoners and the corpses of both the enemy and us.
The soldiers of the Yun army tied the Yong army captives behind their backs, tied them tightly with special techniques, and then used ropes to connect the hundred people into a string and drove them to one place.
Lian Cheng roughly calculated and found that there were probably seven or eight thousand Yong troops in this prisoner of war, so he asked: "How should these prisoners be dealt with?"
Nie Gandang smiled and said, "The Prime Minister of the State has discussed this matter with me. In the future, we will conquer our hometown and have many projects to do. It is appropriate to use these prisoners."
Lian Chengdao: "I'm afraid there are so many prisoners, I'm afraid I'm not good at taking care of them."
"It's okay, there have been many anklets built on Leiyun Mountain. Ordinary Yong army prisoners only need to wear anklets, and even if they want to run, they can't run far.
Send a small number of soldiers to take care of them, and they can drive them to work."
After hearing Nie Dande’s words, Lian Chengcai nodded and had no doubts.
At this time, Nie Dandang said again: "Although we annihilated more than 20,000 Sima Hu's troops in this battle, if we cannot solve the problem of the 100,000 troops led by Bai Qiu, we may not be able to recover our hometown."
Lian Chengdao: "Since Lord Xiong promised to take action once, we only need to find a chance to fight against Bai Qiu's troops, and I believe we can defeat it in one go."
"It's right." Nie Gandan nodded, "From the military information secret report I received before, Bai Qiu's troops probably had entered Qingchuan Prefecture at this time.
Before he knew that Sima Hu's entire army was destroyed, he would probably attack Lingxiguan, and this was our opportunity."
Lian Cheng frowned, "The spies of Yong's army in our army have not yet been found out, so it may not be easy to block the news."
Nie Gandang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What's the difficulty? All the soldiers of the army are not allowed to go out and monitor each other.
Even if this method cannot block messages all the time, it can be concealed for a while.
Then release the birds and send a letter to Leiyun Mountain, and ask Lord Xiong to go out to Qingchuan Prefecture."

Yungu.
Yun Yao came to the pavilion, bowed to Xiong, who was lying down to enjoy the electric current, and said, "Mr. Xiaoxiong, just received the secret military information report, Bai Qiu led 100,000 Yong troops to pursue the remnants of Jinguo and entered Qingchuan Prefecture.
If nothing unexpected happens, Bai Qiu's troops should attack Lingxiguan.
I think this is a good opportunity to fight against Bai Qiu’s troops, so I would like to ask Lord Xiaoxiong to come out to help.”
Yunyao was very nervous when she said this, for fear that Xiong Qi would not admit her previous promise.
However, Xiong Qi was waiting for the Yun Kingdom to expand its power to help it find more god-level bloodlines and talents, so how could he miss this opportunity?
After hearing Yun Yao's words, it nodded directly, and then strode into the claw and wrote: "Look for someone to lead the way."
Yun Yao looked happy and said immediately: "Sister Xue Qiong knows the shortcut to Qingchuan, and she is at the sixth level of Rongling. Although she is not practicing the spiritual power of wind, her speed is not slow."
Xiong Qi nodded in agreement.
As for Nie Xueqiong, there was naturally no problem. Considering the urgent military situation, Nie Xueqiong just changed her clothes and put on a leather armor, and left Yungu with Xiong Qi.
Of course, in order to avoid knowing the secret spy on Yongguo here, one man and one bear did not walk from the valley entrance, but secretly left from one foot of the mountain...
Qingchuan.
Lingxiguan.
Wei Chong led more than 2,000 personal guards to escape here, and hurriedly checked whether the guards in Guancheng were perfect.
Compared with Jiameng Pass, Lingxi Pass is much taller as Yun, and the borders of Jin and the two countries are much taller.
The city walls are as high as nine zhang and twelve zhang thick.
Guancheng is not small, and can accommodate up to 80,000 people.
Unfortunately, this time he first lost a 10,000-person army in Ningzhong Prefecture, and then lost nearly 30,000 soldiers at Jiameng Pass. Now there are less than 40,000 soldiers stationed in Lingxi Pass.
Although there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who can use it, in Wei Chong's view, it is still not easy to defend Lingxi Pass.
"Did you send a letter of help to Rongcheng?" Wei Chong asked while checking the city defense.
"Send it." The side general replied, "However, except for the three thousand defenders in Yangbai Pass, the nearest army in China is also stationed 80 miles away. It may take at least two or three days to wait for support."
When Wei Chong heard this, he frowned deeply.
Previously, he was confident that he could resist Bai Qiu’s army of 100,000 for three days with 30,000 people.
But after experiencing the crushing defeat in Jiameng Pass and seeing the power of the Yong army, even if there were 40,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians, he could not guarantee that he could keep in touch for three days.
Of course, he would never reveal this kind of thought to the people below, but instead nodded calmly and said, "It's okay. I just want to ask for help just in case. The terrain of Lingxiguan is dangerous and the city wall is tall, and 40,000 soldiers are enough to defend it.
What's more, in order to break through Jiameng Pass, Bai Qiu lost tens of thousands of people and many siege equipment were also damaged.
Even if he tried his best to attack Lingxiguan this time, he might not have had the fierce attack as before."
The side generals, subordinate generals and other generals following Wei Chong were originally tense and looked nervous because of Wei Chong's defeat. After hearing what he said, his expression relaxed.
Seeing this, Wei Chong said again: "However, we still need to do a good job in defensive matters - if Bai Qiu really dares to attack Lingxiguan, we will make him suffer a big loss!"
"Here!"
···
Half a day later.
Bai Qiu led an army of 80,000 to Lingxi Pass.
Standing in the car, he looked at Lingxi Pass built along the mountain and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
"Lingxi Pass, one of the eighteen major passes in the world, is indeed a dangerous situation.
If in the past, even if someone leads an army of 100,000, he may not be able to defeat it.
However, after today, its name will be removed.
Or, the eighteen great passes in the world are meaningless anymore.”
After saying this to himself, Bai Qi looked at the military formation behind him.
