Chapter 166 How can we negotiate peace? Kill them first!
"For the Great Zhou!"
The deafening shouts of killing resounded through the sky.
At this time, the 'Shenji Camp' and the 'Beiwei Army' also arrived at the battlefield.
"The Shenji Camp is ready!"
Following an order, thousands of soldiers from the Shenji Camp quickly lined up, each holding a peculiarly shaped musket in their hands.
"ignition!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Deafening gunshots rang out, countless tongues of fire spewed out, and dense bullets poured down on the Yuenan soldiers on the city wall like raindrops.
"what!"
"my eyes!"
"Help!"
Screams rang out one after another, and the Yuenan soldiers on the city wall fell down like wheat being cut.
The Beiwei Army took the opportunity to rush to the city wall. They set up ladders and climbed up quickly like nimble monkeys.
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Beiwei Army were all fearless and brave. Holding sharp swords in their hands, they fought a desperate battle with the soldiers of the Yuenan Kingdom on the city wall.
On the city wall, blood flowed like a river and screams were heard everywhere.
The Sultan looked at the hellish scene on earth before him, his heart filled with fear and despair.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
He muttered to himself, "When did the Great Zhou army become so powerful?"
"General, let's break out!"
The deputy general said anxiously, "If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in the Sudan's eyes. He certainly knew that the current situation was very critical, but he was unwilling to give up Zhennan Pass just like that.
Just as he was hesitating, a soldier ran over in panic, knelt on the ground, and shouted in horror.
"General, this is bad! The Great Zhou army has breached the city gate!"
"what?!"
The Sultan's face suddenly changed. He knew that everything was over.
His face was as pale as paper, his lips trembled, and he seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he could not say anything.
"General, let's go!"
The deputy general grabbed the Sultan's arm and dragged him to the tower with all his strength, "It will be too late if you don't leave now!"
Pulled by his deputy general, the Sultan staggered down the city wall and fled towards the south gate of the city.
However, before they could escape far, they ran into the Great Zhou army that was pouring into the city like a tide.
"Kill!"
"Make contributions to the Great Zhou!"
The deafening shouts of killing echoed in the Sultan's ears. He closed his eyes in despair, knowing that he had no way to escape.
In the distance, Chu Yang looked at the chaotic scene in the city, with a cold smile on his face.
"Your Highness, the situation has been decided."
Wang Meng stood behind Chu Yang and spoke respectfully.
"It's good to have soldiers, just push forward!"
Chu Yang chuckled, his eyes flashing with coldness, "Pass the order down, leave no one alive, not even a chicken or a dog!"
"Your Highness is mighty!" Wang Meng bowed.
Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded, but he knew that it would be more difficult to move forward if he pushed forward like this, because it would be like a trapped beast fighting!
sunset.
The bloody setting sun illuminated the corpses all over the city, emitting a sickening smell of blood.
Zhennan Pass, this once strong pass that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, has now completely fallen into Chu Yang's hands.
Inside the city.
A luxurious mansion has been cleaned up. This was the former residence of the commander of Yuenan Kingdom, and now it has become Chu Yang's temporary palace.
In the hall, the lights were bright and the aroma of wine and meat filled the air. Chu Yang was drinking happily with the generals, celebrating this hard-earned victory.
"Everyone, in today's battle, our army was unstoppable and captured Zhennan Pass in one fell swoop. This is a blessing for our Great Zhou, and it is also the credit of all the soldiers who fought bloody battles!"
Chu Yang raised his wine glass high and said proudly, "I would like to offer a toast to you all!"
"Your Highness is mighty!"
"To His Highness!"
All the generals stood up and raised their glasses to drink together.
"Report!"
At this moment, a personal soldier walked in quickly, knelt on one knee, and reported in a loud voice: "Your Highness, the envoy of Yuenan Kingdom wants to see you!"
Chu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said calmly, "The envoy from Yuenan? What is he doing here? Let him in."
"Yes!"
The soldiers took the order and left.
A moment later, a short and fat middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes walked in, led by his personal soldiers.
This middle-aged man was the envoy of Yuenan Kingdom. After he walked into the hall, he looked around carefully.
Then he walked to the middle of the hall, bowed to Chu Yang and said, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou!"
"No gift."
Chu Yang glanced at the envoy calmly and said calmly, "I wonder why the envoy came here this time?"
Upon hearing this, the messenger quickly took out a golden letter from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said respectfully.
"Your Highness, this is a handwritten letter from our king to your Highness. Please take a look at it."
Chu Yang took the letter, opened it casually and took a look at it, a playful smile immediately appeared on his face.
In the letter, the king of Yuenan Kingdom knelt down and expressed his willingness to pay tribute to the Great Zhou, and presented countless beauties and gold, only asking Chu Yang to withdraw his troops and forgive Yuenan Kingdom once.
"Haha, the king of Yuenan Kingdom really knows how to deal with current affairs."
Chu Yang threw the letter on the table and looked at the messenger with a smile, "Why? Does your king think that I will agree to his conditions?"
When the messenger heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt on the ground, begging bitterly.
"Your Highness, our Yuenan Kingdom is located in a remote area, is small and weak, and this time we have no choice but to offend the Great Zhou. Please, Your Highness, forgive us this time for our sincerity!"
"Forgive you?"
Chu Yang sneered, "Do you know what a heinous crime your Yuenan country has committed?"
Upon hearing this, the messenger was so frightened that he trembled and dared not speak a word.
"Humph, I tell you, there is absolutely no way today's matter will end peacefully!"
A cold light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, "Come here, drag this messenger out and chop him up!"
"Yes!"
Two personal soldiers rushed in and dragged the messenger out.
"Your Highness, no!"
The messenger was so frightened that he struggled desperately and shouted, "When two armies are fighting, they cannot kill messengers!"
However, his shouts were soon drowned out by the noise outside.
"Your Highness, why don't you agree to the conditions of the King of Yuenan?"
Wang Meng asked in confusion, "Although our army has captured Zhennan Pass, we are still deep in enemy territory. If the king of Yuenan is really willing to pay tribute, it would be a good thing."
Chu Yang shook his head and sneered, "Mr. Wang, you underestimate me too much. How can I take Yuenan Country seriously? What I want is the whole world!"
Hearing Chu Yang's bold words, Wang Meng was shocked and bowed quickly.
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Chu Yang waved his hand, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile, "Today our army has won a great victory, so we should drink heartily. Come on, everyone, drink this glass to the full!"
"To His Highness!"
The generals raised their glasses and drank together again.
