With Zhang Xiu's death, the morale of his troops plummeted, and they were already planning to retreat.
At this time, Ling Feng quickly dispersed the blood dragon fighting spirit, turning it into streaks of bloody brilliance and sinking into the Shura Blood Guard's body.
Immediately, one hundred thousand Shura Blood Guards, led by Qisha, Pojun and others, quickly attacked Zhang Xiu's tribe.
Zhang Xiubu will order one hundred thousand Taoist soldiers to attack. However, the strength of these Taoist soldiers is much worse than Ling Feng's Shura Blood Guards, and they are also at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and armor. With Zhang Xiu's death, the Taoist soldiers' faith collapsed and their combat power plummeted, so they were quickly defeated by the Shura Blood Guards!
As one hundred thousand Dao soldiers were destroyed, the other two million ordinary troops were even more vulnerable to a single blow. They collapsed at the first touch and were defeated like a mountain!
However, the fleeing soldiers suddenly discovered that a million-strong army had emerged behind them, blocking their retreat. In the mountains and forests on the left and right, there were also Ling Feng's half-a-million-strong army hiding, and they had been firmly surrounded. The reason why Ling Feng didn't rush to attack before was to set up an ambush, as if the enemy army was fleeing.
At this time, Zhang Xiu's remnants saw no way to escape, except for a few diehards who chose to break out desperately and were eliminated by Ling Feng. Most of the other soldiers surrendered.
In this battle, Ling Feng beheaded more than 800,000 people, captured more than 2 million people, and captured countless soldiers and armors. The cultivation levels of the 90,000 ordinary Shura Blood Guards were all raised to the peak of the innate early stage, and their strength increased a lot. Moreover, Ling Feng refined Zhang Xiu's Yuan Shen, and the Chaos Yuan Fei's cultivation had made a breakthrough, reaching the peak of the heavenly and human realm of the middle-grade Yuan Shen.
Immediately, Ling Feng's army entered the nearby state city, began to collect prisoners, recruit local aristocratic families and Jianghu sects, and at the same time sent troops to recover various counties.
As the army arrived, all counties and counties looked at the wind and surrendered. In just two days, the entire state had been recovered.
Ling Feng retained 100,000 of the 500,000 auxiliary soldiers gathered by the prisoners, and another 50,000 elite soldiers to garrison each county. Ling Feng's expedition was like this all the way, and he would definitely leave enough troops to guard and prevent the states and counties from being lost again. As for the separated troops, they will naturally be supplemented by prisoners, and the establishment still maintains a strength of more than three million.
In addition, people from Liumen, Qinglonghui, and Zhuquetang will arrive soon to recapture and monitor the local wealthy families and Jianghu sects, eliminate hidden dangers, and consolidate Ling Feng's rule.
Then, Ling Feng's army continued to advance, not far from Chengzhou.
At this time, in Chengzhou City, in the Zhoumu Mansion.
When Liu Yan received the news that Zhang Xiu had been defeated and killed, and that his entire three million army had been wiped out, his expression suddenly changed. He knew the strength of Zhang Xiu's 100,000 Taoist soldiers. Ling Feng's ability to destroy Zhang Xiu was far beyond his estimate, and he no longer had the calmness he had before. Immediately, he hurriedly summoned Dong Fu, Yan Yan, Zhang Song, Wu Yi, Huang Quan and other civil and military generals to discuss countermeasures.
Zhang Song said: "At this time, General Zhang Lu is still fighting fiercely with Jia Long's rebel army. The current plan is to summon all the observation envoys in Yizhou in the name of Zhou Mu to attack the rebels. Of course, this must promise some benefits. Move them. In addition, we must find foreign aid, first of all, send a message to Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Although the lord does not get along with him, they are both members of the same clan after all. If the lord writes good words again, he will definitely send troops to help."
Beside, everyone nodded in agreement. Liu Yan felt confident after hearing this.
At this time, Huang Quan said: "As for Xu Du, we can also send generous gifts and let them issue an edict in the name of the imperial court, ordering the various observers to attack Ling Feng, Jia Long and others."
Yan Yan also said: "Now the bandit army is not far from Chengzhou. Just in case, my lord, please evacuate first."
Liu Yan heard this and immediately said: "In that case, General Yan, I leave Chengzhou City to you!"
…
The next day, Ling Feng led the army to the east gate of Chengzhou City. Yan Yan led Gao Pei, Yang Huai, Deng Xian and other generals from Liu Yan's army to stand on the city wall and said coldly: "Ling thief, Mr. Zhou Mu, please express your loyalty to the court." Qianwei Dao Observer, you do not want to repay the kindness of Dazhou Mu, but instead raise an army to invade. How can such an unfaithful and unjust person stand in the world?"
Ling Feng said coldly: "I am rewarded by the imperial court because I quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jianweidao. Is there any kindness at all? The old thief Liu Yan built more than a thousand carriages (the frames used by the emperor) , my disobedience is clearly revealed. I will attack the traitors and only kill the first culprits. If you are willing to put down your weapons, I will never pursue you. If not, there is only one way to die!"
What he said was really not slander, it was all information he had found out through secret spies.
Yan Yan's expression changed. He also knew that the news was true, but so what? Today's Emperor Xian is just a puppet, and he also wants to help Liu Yan ascend to the throne. Immediately, he said coldly: "How dare you slander Lord Zhou Mu and seek death!"
Then, he quickly took out his bow and arrow, drew the bow with all his strength, poured Yuantai mana into it, concentrated the arrow's intention, and suddenly shot at Ling Feng at the foot of the city. He is a powerful person in the late stage of Grand Master, and with the magic weapon-level treasure bow in his hand, the power of this arrow is extremely amazing, almost at the peak of Grand Master!
At this time, Ling Feng also took out the Hunyuan Bow and a Gengjin Divine Arrow, and quickly bent the bow to set the arrow.
When the black iron arrows from the city tower shot out, Ling Feng's hand suddenly loosened, and a golden arrow shot out, piercing the black iron arrows, and shot towards Yan Yan without slowing down at all.
Yan Yan, Gao Pei, Yang Huai, Deng Xian and other five masters at the master level simultaneously urged the divine soldiers in their hands to attack, hoping to block the Gengjin Divine Arrow.
However, the Gengjin Divine Arrow is of the sixth level. Coupled with Ling Feng's powerful magic power and the increase of the Hunyuan Bow, the power of this arrow is already at the level of the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, and it instantly breaks through the interception of everyone's sword energy and sword energy. , shot into the center of Yan Yan's eyebrows, defeating his Yuan Fei. This is already the result of Ling Feng hiding most of his strength.
At this time, the Shura Blood Guard started the battle formation to gather the blood dragon war spirit. Ling Feng controlled the blood dragon war spirit and blasted open the city gate with one blow. Immediately, the blood dragon rushed towards the city wall and turned into blood light and shot out. !
Gao Pei, Yang Huai and other generals' expressions changed drastically and they fled quickly.
Immediately, the soldiers guarding the city were shot through by blood and all turned into mummies.
Then, the blood light gathered and condensed into the form of a blood dragon. He coldly commented to Gao Pei, Yang Huai and others, and said loudly: "Surrender or die!"
Gao Pei and others hesitated for a moment, and then said together: "We are willing to surrender!"
After all, there are still few people like Yan Yan who are not afraid of death. And with a few generals serving as examples, others naturally surrendered without any resistance.
As for those who tried to escape through other city gates, their efforts were in vain. Ling Feng had already arranged an ambush and blocked the directions of the other three city gates, so that no one could escape.
At this point, Chengzhou City fell into Ling Feng's hands. Chengzhou City is the administrative seat of Yizhou, with a population of one million, which is enough to serve as the capital and the foundation for the future.
Moreover, the heritage of this place is unfathomable. There are four top aristocratic families with supreme masters in the realm of gods and humans. There are also many other big aristocratic families with great masters in charge. There are even more rivers and lakes forces with grandmasters in charge! If these families could be conquered, it would be much easier to unify Yizhou.
