Chapter 372: The fall of the king of Chu!
Translator: 549690339
During the Three Kingdoms period, Deng Ai snuck into the Yinping trail and attacked the capital of Shu Han, forcing Liu Chan to surrender.
This was probably one of the most famous surprise attacks in history.
Deng Ai led her Army to bypass the Shu country’s frontal defense and passed through 700 miles of desolate and uninhabited land. In the end, only a few thousand soldiers were left, and the casualty rate was terrifyingly high.
And this time.
Shen lang, Ning Zheng’s Army was at the city gates, and the number of soldiers he had besieged the Chu royal capital was less than 10000.
The Chu royal capital, also known as Fengdu, was the largest city in the Chu country.
In terms of the size of the entire city, it was comparable to tianyue city. It was definitely one of the few Strong Cities in the entire Eastern world.
The entire city had a population of over a few hundred thousand.
The outer city had been expanded several times, and the perimeter of the city wall was more than 50 miles. It was like a giant beast entrenched on the ground.
The 9,500 men under Shen lang and Ning Zheng seemed insignificant in front of this huge city.
Not only that, the height of the Chu royal capital’s city walls was an astonishing 15 meters or so, as high as a five-story building.
Using less than 10000 people to attack such a tough city seemed a little absurd.
How many troops were there in the Chu royal capital?
Twenty thousand city guards and ten thousand guards, a total of thirty thousand.
The degree of emptiness was almost the same as the capital of Yue country, but slightly better.
This time, the King of Chu had brought the Crown Prince with him to attack the Yue.
There was the minister’s desk for Civil Affairs, the Bureau of Military Affairs for military affairs, and the Queen in the middle Palace.
..................
don’t worry, Your Majesty. The troops from the surrounding cities and counties are rushing over. They’ll arrive tomorrow at the earliest.
my King Chu is strong and tall. Without an Army of 100000, you can forget about taking him down.
The Queen of Chu was over 50 years old this year. Zhao Hua wasn’t here, but because she had taken good care of herself, she still had some charm.
“Who is the commander of the Yue Army?” Queen Chu asked.
“Ning Zheng, Shen lang!”
“Shen lang?” The Chu Emperor Queen’s eyes were filled with deep hatred. During the last border hunting competition, it was this brat who toyed with the Chu country.
“Do his Army have wings? You actually flew to the capital of my Chu Kingdom?”
“They must have come from the North of the Qiang Kingdom and crossed thousands of miles of snowy mountains.”
As soon as he said this, King Chu said, ” that’s impossible. No army can cross the great snowmountain. There was no such Army in the past, and there will be no such Army in the future.
Everyone was silent.
If he didn’t cross the snowy mountain, did he really fly here?
The Queen of Chu waved her hand and said,”it doesn’t matter how they came here. The key is how they are going to die!” Even in Shumi, how many soldiers are there in the capital?”
“20000 city guards, 10000 Imperial Guards, and I’ve already gathered all the servants from the noble families in the capital, so I need another 10000.” The secret envoy of Chu State, Lian Jing, said.
The Queen of Chu asked,”40000?” Can there be more?”
“There are many bodyguard agencies and gangs in the city. If we can give them official titles, we should be able to recruit another ten to twenty thousand people!” The secret envoy of Chu said.
Queen Chu said, ” hurry up! Hurry up! We can’t be stingy at this time.
The secret envoy of Chu State, Lian Jing, was against it.
The quality of an Army was important, not quantity.
However, he did not have much say as the Minister of secrets. The Crown Prince was the helmsman of the Bureau of Military Affairs.
Moreover, the ministers present felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Shen lang only had less than 10000 men, and they did not have any siege weapons. They were exhausted after traveling for thousands of miles. Attacking a city like the Royal capital of Chu was simply courting death!
Was 40,000 troops not enough to defend the city?
“Continue to recruit soldiers. Order all the troops in the surrounding cities and counties to surround Shen Lang’s and Ning Zheng’s troops. I want to kill all of them. No one will be allowed to return to Yue country alive. I want to let Ning Zheng and Shen lang know that those who violate the dignity of the capital of Chu country will die without a burial ground!”
“Yes!”
........................
After Shen Lang’s 9500-strong Army arrived at the Chu royal capital, they did not attack the city immediately.
Instead, they rested on the spot and waited for dawn!
At this time, the recruitment of soldiers was in full swing within the Chu royal capital.
The armed servants of the wealthy families had all assembled into an Army.
The local ruffians, hooligans, and gang members in the capital had all gathered into an Army.
Many sect Masters and escort leaders had become military officers.
The entire Chu royal capital could be said to be filled with fighting spirit.
After the initial shock, everyone in the capital of the Chu Kingdom was completely enraged.
The people of Yue were too arrogant.
With less than ten thousand people, you actually dare to attack my capital?
It was simply a lunatic’s dream.
After that, countless local ruffians and martial arts practitioners joined the Army.
In just a few hours!
He had actually recruited another twenty thousand people.
These local ruffians had never experienced such glory before.
The rise and fall of the country was everyone’s responsibility.
Now that the Queen has invited us to come out of seclusion, we can still love the Chu country even though we’re hoodlums.
“Contribute to the cause.”
“Kill Ning Zheng and Shen lang!”
“Skin all the Yue dogs, break their bones, and scatter their ashes.”
I’m proud that the king is fighting in front while we protect the capital from behind!
Immediately after, the Queen, the Bureau of Military Affairs, and the Board of Ministers jointly issued an order.
Each head of the Yue Army could be exchanged for 20 gold coins.
Whoever beheads Shen lang will get 10000 gold coins.
Whoever cut off Ning Zheng’s head would get 5000 gold coins.
The moment this price was announced, King Chu was completely stirred up.
This was simply a great reward.
He was going to make a fortune.
20 gold coins was enough to build a house and marry a wife.
If it was used for eating, drinking, and playing, it could be enjoyed for a few years.
However, Ning Zheng was the son of the king of Yue. Why was he only worth 5000 gold coins? On the other hand, Shen Lang’s one extra was worth 10000 Yuan?
“Let’s Get Rich, Let’s Get Rich!”
if I kill this pretty boy, Shen lang, I will be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of my life.
I wonder if Shen Lang’s meat can be exchanged for money? ”
I wonder if Shen Lang’s bird can be exchanged for money? ”
gentlemen, Shen lang, this bastard, dared to launch a sneak attack on the capital of my Chu country. He is bullying my Chu country. I suggest that after killing all of Shen Lang’s troops, we cut off everyone’s birds and return them to the king of Yue. What do you think? ”
Okay, okay. Then, should I give Shen Lang’s bird to Jin Mulan or arunana? ”
“Give the broken bird to Jin Mulan, and give the eggs to arunana and Ning Zheng.”
These local ruffians were full of vulgarities.
But their morale was definitely high.
As time passed, more and more soldiers were stationed in the capital city of the Chu Kingdom.
Forty thousand, fifty thousand, sixty thousand, seventy thousand.
After all, this was different from Deng AI’s sneak attack on the capital of the state of Shu.
At that time, Wei was strong and Shu was weak. The entire Shu country was filled with despair.
Coupled with Liu Chan’s weakness, he had surrendered almost without a fight.
However, things were different in Chu.
Now, it could be said that Chu was getting weaker and weaker. The King of Chu was triumphantly advancing on the front line and was almost about to destroy the Yue country.
The citizens of the Chu royal capital were in a state of pride and had a great sense of honor.
Moreover, Shen lang only sent over 9000 soldiers.
He was clearly here to die. Why didn’t he take the free military merits and shiny gold?
After their anger subsided, many martial arts practitioners in the capital of the Chu Kingdom did not feel that it was dangerous. Instead, they treated this crisis as a good opportunity to make a fortune.
..............................
They rested on the spot for six hours!
It was dawn!
The 9,500 troops under Shen lang started to gather.
If there was a pair of eyes in the sky, one would be able to see more than five troops approaching the capital of the Chu Kingdom.
These were the reinforcements from the surrounding cities and counties.
Of course, there were almost no elite soldiers on the front line. They were all local defenders.
He looked up at the city walls of the Chu royal capital.
It was a dense and uncountable number of defenders.
The armors and weapons were still unified, but the military formation was not clear.
However, every soldier was filled with excitement. They did not look at Shen Lang’s Army as though they were looking at them but at their military achievements and gold coins.
Shen lang took a glance.
There were so many guards in the city?
Sixty thousand? Seventy thousand?
Wasn’t it only 30000?
Overnight, the Chu royal capital’s Garrison had more than doubled?
“Where is Shen lang? Where is Ning Zheng?”
Shen lang was too lazy to care.
“Greetings, envoy lianshu,” Ning Zheng stepped out and bowed.
“Ning Zheng, what you’ve done is really appalling,” said the secret envoy of Chu State, Lian Jing, coldly.
there’s no such thing as a war between two countries, ” Ning Zheng said. as long as civilians are not killed, there’s nothing shocking.
Lian Jing laughed,”you have less than ten thousand men?” You also want to take down my Chu royal capital? “What a big joke. As the son of the king of Yue, I should give you face, but since you’ve done something disgraceful, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” If I don’t exterminate all of you today, I’m afraid that the world will laugh at my Chu State for being weak and incompetent. Ning Zheng, Shen lang, if I don’t kill the both of you today, I, the lianjing sword, will be as powerful as this sword!”
After saying that, the Chu state’s Messenger snapped the sword in his hand!
“Attack the city!”
Ning Zheng did not say anything and directly gave the order!
“Dong Dong Dong Dong!”
The war drums sounded!
The 2nd Nirvana Army, step forward!
The godly archers of the sand primitive tribe stepped out and advanced.
A total of 7500 people marched in an orderly manner.
They were closing in on the city wall of the Chu Kingdom.
This city wall was so high that it was dazzling.
Close to two hundred meters.
One hundred and fifty meters.
He stood still!
“Release the arrows, shoot!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The 7500 archers began to shoot again.
A dense rain of arrows rained down on the city wall.
The Chu royal capital’s Garrison did not seem to be nervous.
The distance was so far, and it was shot from below?
What kind of killing power did bows and arrows have?
And then,
A rain of arrows fell.
Blood splattered everywhere.
On the city wall, hundreds of people were shot and fell to the ground.
The people of Chu were shocked!
What the hell is this Wufu Archer?
He shot it so far?
Such destructive power?
This group of guards was not as brave as the sand primitive Warriors. After feeling the power of the arrows from Shen Lang’s Army, they were stunned.
They all squatted down, trying to use the battlements to protect their bodies.
This had indeed reduced the number of casualties.
However, the bow and arrow could be thrown and directly fell from the sky.
There were too many soldiers guarding the city wall of the Chu Kingdom.
As the rain of arrows fell, groups of people were killed.
“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”
A moment later, the trebuchets on the Chu Royal City showed their might.
There were more than sixty catapults used by the King of Chu for defense.
However, there were only fifteen of them on this wall, and they were all fixed.
Most importantly, the city wall was too long. There were no more than 10 trebuchets that could get Shen lang to return to the Army.
After a series of loud noises.
More than ten huge rocks were thrown at Shen Lang’s Army.
A series of loud sounds rang out.
A huge pit was formed on the ground.
But the result was almost zero.
It would be a miracle if the first wave of trebuchets hit.
Mulan drew her bow and nocked an arrow.
He aimed at one of the trebuchets and fired.
“Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh”
It was a giant arrow that was more than two meters long.
The arrowheads were specially made by Shen lang.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Mulan shot it with her divine will, and the huge arrow directly penetrated the arm of the trebuchet, penetrating a few inches deep.
Of course, even so, they were still unable to destroy the trebuchets.
But the next second.
“Bang!”
There was an explosion.
The thick arms of the trebuchets were directly broken.
Immediately, the upper half of the trebuchet was sent flying.
Several soldiers of Chu State around him were smashed into meat paste.
Next.
Mulan began her miraculous performance.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
All the trebuchets within her shooting range were shot by her and exploded.
Of course, there was gunpowder in the arrow.
However, it was more than enough to blow up a piece of wood.
The dozen or so trebuchets in the royal city of Chu State were all destroyed.
Following that, Mulan nocked an arrow on her bow and aimed at the commander of the Chu Kingdom.
This was a poisonous arrow, highly toxic cyanide. Once shot, death was certain.
Even if he was grazed, he would still die.
“Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh”
Mulan’s arrow was like lightning as it shot out.
“Good!” The Commander-in-Chief of Chu State, Lian Jing, roared and slashed with the sword in his hand.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
Mulan’s arrow was directly deflected.
Lian Jing was almost 70 years old, but he was still so brave?
Lian Jing was also shocked. Who was this woman?
His archery skills were so amazing?
Even though he had deflected her arrow, the arm of the messenger of Chu State, Lian Jing, could not help but feel slightly numb.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The sharpshooters of the second Nirvana Army and the sand primitive tribe were still firing wildly.
Without the threat of the trebuchets, the two armies were within a hundred meters of the city wall.
The destructive power was even more shocking!
The tens of thousands of guards on the city wall were shot until they couldn’t even raise their heads.
“Counterattack! Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows!”
The general of the Chu state’s Army roared.
But it was useless.
Such a distance had already exceeded the capabilities of the archers of Chu State.
The Chu Army’s arrow rain was even more shocking. It was densely packed.
In just a short while, hundreds of thousands of arrows were shot over, stabbing into the ground like a Porcupine.
Next.
An infuriating scene appeared.
Shen Lang’s first Nirvana Army took advantage of the sturdiness of their armor and went to the front to retrieve the arrows.
After all, his Army was on an expedition, and each soldier could only carry two to three hundred arrows at most.
It wouldn’t take long to finish shooting.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of arrows had been retrieved.
The general of Chu State was at a loss for a moment.
What should he do next?
Should he shoot? Or not to shoot?
Shoot?
It was impossible to hit the target at this distance.
If he didn’t shoot, he would be completely suppressed.
Tens of thousands of people were being suppressed by thousands of people.
The great humiliation was a huge blow to their morale!
..................
The Commander-in-Chief of Chu State, Lian Jing, almost vomited blood.
He had never fought such a cowardly battle.
He had always been against recruiting local ruffians into the Army.
A war could not be fought by numbers.
He felt that the 20000 city guards and 10000 Imperial Guards were enough.
However, the Queen insisted on recruiting all sorts of people into the Army.
At this moment, the top of the city wall was in chaos.
Once the casualties were high, this group of people immediately wailed and howled.
He had no discipline at all.
Lian Jing immediately ordered all the militia to retreat from the city wall and act as reserves.
On the city walls, only the Imperial Guards and city guards were left.
Sure enough, the city wall was quiet now.
The thirty thousand soldiers raised their shields to block the rain of arrows.
The number of casualties instantly decreased.
The situation was stabilized!
The Commander-in-Chief of the Chu army, Lian Jing, could not help but sneer.
Shen lang was still too naive.
Your archers are very powerful, but if you want to attack the city, you still have to climb up the city wall.
You don’t even have a siege ladder, I’d like to see how you’re going to climb up the city wall.
However, at this moment!
A giant in super heavy armor appeared. He carried a big sword on his back and a box in his arms as he rushed toward the city gate.
Of course, this person was dumb!
The general of the Chu army shouted,”use the fire arrows! Shoot him! Shoot him!”
Countless sharp arrows were shot at dumb.
However, it was all in vain.
The armor on his body was frighteningly thick, and no arrow could penetrate it.
Soon, foolish rushed to the city gate.
“Giant rock, smash, smash the Pixiu!”
With an order.
Countless rolling wood and stones were thrown at dumb.
However, it was useless!
A few dozen Jin of rocks smashed into his body, but at most, he would only stagger.
They couldn’t stop him at all.
The armor on his body weighed four to five hundred Jin. When the stone hit him, it only made a small hole.
“Boiling oil, boiling oil!”
The Chu great general ordered.
After that, a few strong men of Chu State lifted up the pot of boiling oil and were about to pour it down.
Dumb was awesome, but he couldn’t block boiling oil.
And at this moment.
Jin Mulan and Queen Sharman shot their arrows continuously.
They were specifically aiming at the strong men of Chu State who were carrying the pot of oil on the city wall.
Both of them were master archers, so they shot one arrow at a time.
“Ah!!!!!!!!”
After these strongmen were shot to death, the pot of boiling oil fell directly on the city wall. The boiling oil was poured on the surrounding Chu soldiers, instantly heating them up.
“Ah!!!!!!!!”
The Chu army on the city wall let out shrill screams.
Dumb showed his power!
He picked up the black iron sword that weighed two to three hundred pounds and hacked at the city gate.
The Chu great general was astonished.
What was Yingluo doing?
Could it be that this blockhead wanted to cut a big hole in the door?
In your dreams!
The city gate was half a foot thick and half of it was made of iron.
How are you going to do it?
Even if you cut it for a day and a night, you still wouldn’t be able to bring it down.
After chopping for a while, the layer of wood wrapped around the gate was completely cut off, revealing the iron plate inside.
Next, dumb took out a bag of things and directly stuck it on the iron gate.
What was this?
Shen Lang’s Secret weapon was used again.
Thermite.
It was the same thing that burned the iron pillars of the hidden essence sect in Yue country.
It was a mixture of aluminum powder and iron oxide powder according to a certain ratio.
With Shen Lang’s resources, the manufacturing process was not difficult.
It was because its recipe was very simple.
However, this thing called Pi aluminum was a different story.
It was too, too rare.
Of course, it actually had a lot of reserves in the earth’s crust.
However, they were all in the form of Aluminum Silicate ores. With Shen Lang’s current smelting Foundation, it was too difficult to extract pure aluminum.
Using alum clay to refine aluminum was relatively simpler.
Therefore, the annual production of the entire Gold Mountain Island mine was still frighteningly low.
He made two sets of armor for Mulan, then some aluminite and some special armor, and then all of them were used up.
At this time, there were dozens of kilograms of aluminum heat agent on the city gate.
He inserted the ignition agent.
After dumb lit the cigarette, he turned around and ran.
This was because Shen lang had told him that this thing was extremely terrifying, and even a few hundred pounds of armor could not defend against it.
In the blink of an eye, dumb had run dozens of meters away.
The ignition agent was burned out in a short time.
And then,
“BOOM!”
It didn’t look like an explosion.
There was no loud noise.
However, the light that burst out was almost brighter than the sun.
A shocking white flame suddenly burst out, releasing a high temperature of 2500 degrees.
Instantly!
A huge hole was burned through the thick city wall.
The guards behind the city gate were completely stunned!
W-what the hell is this?
The thick city gate was actually burned through?
What should he do next?
Dumb rushed up again.
He slammed the city gate.
A series of loud sounds rang out, and the city gate shook violently.
But it had not opened yet.
Although the aluminum heat agent burned through the iron plate, it didn’t burn through the huge iron bolt inside.
So, dumb put another bag of thermite on it.
He lit it up again, then turned around and ran away.
“Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire!”
The guards inside the city gate stepped forward and tried their best to put out the ignition.
But the next second,
“BOOM!”
A shocking flame burst out once again.
The body of the general of Chu State was instantly charred.
At the same time.
The huge iron bolt of the city gate was directly burned red, and molten iron kept dripping down.
“Ahoho ahoho”
Da Sha suddenly roared.
He accelerated crazily.
Like a tank, they charged forward madly.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
His entire body slammed into the city gate.
There was a loud bang.
The huge city gate of the royal city of Chu State had opened!
Because the thick iron bolt had been melted, it couldn’t withstand dumb’s great strength.
The Chu army was completely shocked.
This, this indestructible city gate was opened just like that?
It was broken just like that!
Oh my God, what exactly happened?
Why can’t I understand this scene at all?
Then, dumb suddenly pulled out his black iron sword and charged at the hundreds of guards inside the city gate alone.
“Swish, swish, swish Swish Swish!”
There was simply no room for a match.
All the enemy soldiers who stood in front of dumb only had one outcome-they were split in half, their bodies and armor split in half.
He had truly died without an intact corpse.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
He suddenly swung his sword.
More than a dozen Chu soldiers flew into the sky.
Dumb was like a tank, crushing over.
On the battlefield, dumb was like a BUG. Even the King of Swords, li qianqiu, was far less powerful than him.
One person had crushed hundreds of people.
Then, ku Fu cheered!
“First Nirvana Army, enter the city!”
Two thousand first Nirvana Army soldiers marched into the city in formation.
Although their armors were not as heavy as before, they still weighed forty to fifty Jin. The mo swords in their hands were also not as heavy as before, but they still weighed more than forty Jin and were completely forged from fine steel.
“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”
Two thousand Nirvana Warriors entered the capital of the Chu Kingdom like a flood of steel.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Chu army, Lian Jing, almost burst out of his eyes.
Did Yingluo see a ghost?
The city gate was broken just like that?
What kind of trick did Shen lang use?
But now, it was too late to be shocked.
The enemy had already entered the city.
“Block them, block them, kill all the Vietnamese soldiers!” He roared.
As he gave the order, countless Chu State troops charged towards foolish and the first Nirvana Army.
But,
This was the city.
What a coincidence!
This city gate was also called the Xuanwu Gate, and inside it was the extremely wide Xuanwu Avenue.
The road was dozens of meters wide, which allowed the 2000 soldiers of the first Nirvana Army to form the perfect battle formation.
The Army of the Chu State charged forward, wave after wave.
However, in close combat, the first Nirvana Army was invincible!
It was cut in two.
He was cut in half with one slash!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two thousand mo sabers slashed down continuously.
Like a slaughtering machine, it easily split every enemy that rushed up into two.
The battlefield at the city gate was a one-sided massacre.
The first Nirvana Army had built a defensive position in the city.
“2nd Nirvana Army, enter the city!”
“3rd Nirvana Army, enter the city!”
A moment later!
Almost three thousand of the second Nirvana Army and four thousand sharpshooters of the sand barbarian race led by Queen Sharman had all entered the city.
“Change the formation!”
The two thousand Nirvana soldiers changed their formation and formed a huge square formation.
The second Nirvana Army and the sharpshooters of the sand primitive tribe, a total of more than seven thousand people, were put into this huge mouth formation.
The first Nirvana Army, with their invincible armor, was like a great wall of steel.
The archers, who were invincible in long-range shooting, shot arrows.
This coordination was simply perfect!
The Xuanwu Avenue was so vast, and it was a first-class slaughterhouse.
Furthermore, this was no longer shooting from low to high, but from flat ground.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Within a hundred meters, the second Nirvana Army was almost invincible.
Although the sharpshooters of the sand primitive tribe were weaker, they still had amazing lethality.
The two-picul strong bow could penetrate any armor of Chu State within 100 meters.
In the beginning, the Army of Chu State kept rushing up to engage in close combat with the 1st Nirvana Army.
It was like a moth flying into the fire.
But towards the end.
They could no longer get close.
This was because the arrow rain from the second Nirvana Army and the sand primitive tribe was too shocking.
It was a completely one-sided massacre.
Wave after wave of arrows madly reaped lives.
The royal guards of Chu State were extremely brave.
Following the Commander-in-Chief’s order, they charged forward without fear.
But in front of this crazy rain of arrows ...
It was all in vain.
The 10,000 Guards Army troops were almost completely wiped out.
The city guards weren’t elites.
However, this was the Chu royal capital after all, and any guard would be filled with a sense of honor.
Therefore, the 20000 city guards of Chu State only completely collapsed after 30% of them were injured or killed, and they fled in all directions.
As for the servants of the wealthy and Noble families, they had long scattered like birds and beasts.
As for the Jianghu heroes and gang members who had come to render meritorious services, they had disappeared without a trace after burrowing into the streets and alleys of the Chu royal capital.
After an intense battle of four hours!
The Chu country’s troops were defeated like a landslide.
More than 20000 people were injured or dead, and the remaining tens of thousands of people fled.
The secret envoy of Chu, Lian Jing, led the last of the elites and retreated into the inner city of the Royal capital!
After two hours.
The inner city of the Chu Kingdom had fallen.
Shu mi emissary Lian Jing led the remaining troops and retreated to the palace.
Ning Zheng and Shen lang led 9000 troops to attack the Royal Palace of Chu!
..............................
The Chu Royal Palace was truly magnificent.
It covered an area of more than two square kilometers and was layered with carved railings and Jade buildings. It was a spectacular sight.
There were more than 10000 palace rooms inside!
Chu state’s Secret envoy, Lian Jing, led four to five thousand men and retreated into the palace, planning to make a final struggle.
He didn’t want to defeat Shen lang anymore, but he could hold on and wait for the reinforcements.
At most, they would hold on for two to three days, and tens of thousands of troops would come to rescue the capital.
Shen lang only had a few thousand men, and they would not be able to last long in the heart of the enemy’s territory.
The palace had a wide hall and square, but there were narrow paths and tightly-packed rooms. It was difficult for Shen Lang’s Army to display their abilities.
The mo sabers of the first Nirvana Army were very long and needed to be wielded widely, so it was difficult to use them in the palace. Archers were even more passive in such a place.
Furthermore, Shen Lang’s Army was unfamiliar with the layout of the Chu Royal Palace.
The Chu state’s Secret envoy firmly believed that they would be able to fight a beautiful counterattack within the palace and cause great casualties to Shen Lang’s Army.
Shen lang and Ning Zheng stood outside the palace.
Dasha carried a huge flagpole, and Mulan brought Shen lang onto the flagpole. They looked down at the entire Palace.
No!
The houses inside were too densely packed.
This caused the Chu army to ambush them.
The sharpshooters of the sand primitive tribe were good at close combat in narrow places.
However, the first and second Nirvana Army could not do that. Once they entered the palace, there would be a huge number of casualties.
What to do?
As long as they could take down the Chu Royal Palace, they would have won the battle.
However, Shen lang could not bear the huge number of casualties.
The first and second Nirvana Army was too precious. Even if only a third of them were injured, he would still feel heartache.
Queen Sharman’s meaning was very clear.
She was willing to lead the trump card of the sand primitive tribe into the palace, but the first and second Nirvana Army had to go with her.
It was impossible to get her sand primitive Warriors to risk their lives while Shen Lang’s Army watched from the outside.
He hesitated for a few minutes.
“Burn the Chu Royal Palace!” Shen lang ordered.
As soon as he said this.
Ning Zheng was shocked, Mulan was shocked, the sword King Li qianqiu was shocked, and the two of them were silent.
This Lao Ai was going against the world’s condemnation.
The King of Chu was not only the Emperor of Chu, but also the king of the great Yan Empire.
If the Chu Royal Palace was burned down ...
The entire world would be shaken.
Shen lang said calmly,”anyway, I don’t want the first and second Nirvana Army to suffer heavy casualties.” This is an all-out war, not a treat. I won’t slaughter the civilians of Chu, I’ll only burn the Royal Palace, so what?”
Ning Zheng looked at Shen lang and said,”okay!” However, I’ll be the one to give the order!”
Then, Ning Zheng shouted, ” listen up, Empress of Chu State! Listen up, the secret envoy of Chu State, Lian Jing! I am Ning Zheng! I order you to surrender immediately, or I’ll burn the palace down.”
As soon as he said this.
The people of Chu State were shocked.
Is Ning Zheng crazy?
Burn the Chu Royal Palace.
This would enrage all the countries in the East.
Even though the Chu and Yue kingdoms were enemies, they were still subordinate kingdoms under the Great Yan Dynasty.
To a certain extent, it was also a state of Brotherhood.
“Don’t surrender, don’t surrender.”
“Ning Zheng would never dare to set fire to the palace.”
“Once it’s burned, it will shock the world and enrage all the Kings.”
Ning Zheng lit an incense stick.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, if Queen Chu and the others still do not surrender, he will immediately set the palace on fire.
15 minutes later!
The time it took for an incense stick to burn was up.
The guards in the palace refused to surrender.
Ning Zheng ordered.
Set fire to the Chu Royal Palace!
A moment later!
Raging flames soared into the sky!
The entire Chu Royal Palace was ablaze.
It almost dyed the entire sky red!
All the citizens in the capital of Chu Kingdom started to cry when they saw this.
The Jianghu heroes and gang members who had escaped rushed out again.
The Army that surrounded Shen lang.
However,
It was useless to rely on courage.
It was another one-sided massacre.
After over 10000 soldiers of the Chu army were killed, they started to flee again.
The fire in the Chu Royal Palace spread wildly, and in the blink of an eye, it had engulfed half of the Royal Palace.
The palace was like hell.
Everyone in the palace fled and knelt down to surrender after rushing out.
At this point!
The capital of Chu Kingdom had fallen!
