Xiang Xiuming smiled bitterly, "But Ning Chen also invented artillery?" "Today, we only have more than 20,000 people and more than 100 warships left. Our morale is low. Even if we are good at water warfare, we are still no match for Ning Chen in hand-to-hand combat, let alone on the ground." Huang Shao narrowed his eyes slightly, "General, what do you mean?" Xiang Xiuming thought for a long time before slowly speaking: "Surrender!" Huang Shao's eyes shrank. "The general doesn't care about his family?" Xiang Xiuming's eyes were sad, "Huang Shao, no more people can be killed, enough people have died... They are all my soldiers. My family is very important, but they are equally important." "We are facing Ning Chen, Daxuan God of War... We can't win." "It's better to surrender, follow Ning Chen, overthrow King Rui, and save our family." Huang Shao smiled sinisterly, his eyes gradually turning ferocious.
"Xiang Xiuming, do you want to surrender to the enemy and treason?" Xiang Xiuming stared at him with sharp eyes. Huang Shao sneered, "Xiang Xiuming, your Majesty has a sharp eye. He has long seen that you are dishonest, so he took your family to Xiangzhou." The majesty Huang Shao was talking about was Emperor Yuan, that is, King Rui. "Huang Shao, you...what benefits did Prince Rui give you?" "It's Emperor Yuan. His Majesty has long seen that you won't do your best, so he sent me to watch over you... Xiang Xiuming, you are dead, and I will take your place." Xiang Xiu Ming's eyes were about to burst, "Huang Shao, I lifted you up with one hand... Don't go the wrong way. Even if I die, you can't stop Ning Chen." "Listen to me, surrender is the only chance to survive... Ning Chen will definitely fight to Xiangzhou, and then we can rescue our family." Huang Shao sneered, "My family is living well. If I took your place and was a high-ranking official and well-paid, my family would be better off." "Xiang Xiuming, it's you...you actually want to surrender to the enemy and treason. It's you who killed your family." "You gallling bandit, you are afraid of Ning Chen, but I am not afraid... As long as I return to Linhai City, the city has strong walls and high walls, what can Ning Chen do to me?" Xiang Xiuming roared angrily, "Stupid, don't forget, none of the three cities in South Vietnam could stop Ning Chen." Huang Shao let out a sinister laugh. "You don't know, His Majesty has formed an alliance with Showa. Showa sent 30,000 troops to support us. Ning Chen is chasing us. Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that his logistics troops will face Showa's army." "As long as I retreat to Linhai City, wait for the Showa army to arrive, and attack from both sides, Ning Chen will be dead!" Xiang Xiuming's eyes narrowed, "What are you talking about? Prince Rui actually formed an alliance with those dwarfs? Doesn't he know how many people those people killed in the east and how much supplies they looted?" Huang Shao's face was full of disdain, "Aren't some untouchables dead? In this world, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only permanent interests." "Your Majesty has a military strategy. As long as Ning Chen is destroyed, and then all the surrounding countries are united to encircle Daxuan, Daxuan will be meat on the chopping block." "His Majesty has long suspected your loyalty, so he didn't tell you about this...Xiang Xiuming, you really have the intention to rebel."
Xiang Xiuming was furious, "Do you think that by uniting with the Showa Kingdom, you can defeat Ning Chen? Think of Nanyue, Xiliang, Tuoluo Kingdom... none of them are more powerful than the small Showa Kingdom, and they are beaten into obedience. ” Huang Shao mocked: "That's because they are stupid. They are definitely not Ning Chen's opponent in a single fight... If the alliance launches a war against Daxuan at the same time, and Ning Chen has no skills, what can he do?" "What's more, this time, Ning Chen will definitely die. As long as he dares to chase Linhai City, he will not be able to come back alive." "Xiang Xiuming, you greedy for life and fear of death, surrender to the enemy and treason... go to hell!" Huang Shao pulled out his dagger and stabbed Xiang Xiuming in the heart. Xiang Xiuming contracted the cold and suffered extensive burns. He had no power to resist and was killed with one knife. Huang Shao looked at the dead Xiang Xiuming and sneered. Immediately, he turned around and walked out of the cabin, crying loudly: "General Xiang is dead, he was too seriously injured, General Xiang is dead...!" Xiang Xiuming's army suffered heavy losses one after another, and its morale was already low. Now, Xiang Xiuming is dead, the army is leaderless, and the soldiers are even more panicked. Huang Shao's confidants immediately stood up and supported Huang Shao. Huang Shao succeeded Xiang Xiuming as a matter of course. ... Ning Chen is still chasing. He still didn't know that Xiang Xiuming was killed by Huang Shao who he brought out. He chased until the afternoon. "General Ning, come out and take a look!" Ning Chen was resting in the cabin when suddenly Sun Gaohan's urgent voice sounded outside the door. He stood up and walked over to open the door, "What's wrong?" “You’ll find out when you go and take a look!” Ning Chen came to the bow of the ship and saw huge flames and thick smoke in the distance. He turned around a few times, climbed up the mast, and looked through the binoculars. I saw more than a hundred warships docked at the ferry in the distance. But these warships all turned into fire ships. Ning Chen's face turned pale. As he wished, Xiang Xiuming's army was forced to land. But this bastard set fire to all the remaining ships in order to prevent the warships from falling into his hands. Each of these warships is expensive to build.
What is burning is not the boat, but the white money. The fire was raging and smoke was billowing. Ning Chen's boat could not dock, so he could only wait in the distance until the fire was extinguished before docking. Wait until the next morning. Ning Chen's warships docked and soldiers landed. He only brought 25,000 people with him, and the remaining 5,000 people guarded the warships. The army marched towards Linhai City. Ning Chen did not walk fast. Because he was not in a hurry at all. If he guessed correctly, the Ning'an Army led by Yuan Long had already captured Linhai City. Xiang Xiuming led 50,000 troops to block him at sea, and Linhai City must be short of troops. If the Ning'an Army could not take Linhai City, he would disband the Ning'an Army when he returned. Three days later, Huang Shao led the remnants of the defeated army and finally arrived at Linhai City. When they saw Linhai City, all the soldiers' eyes lit up. As long as they entered the city, they would be safe. Huang Shao led the army and came to the city. "I am Huang Shao, the commander of the Eastern Border Army. Open the city gate quickly!" A sturdy and honest man on the top of the city looked at Huang Shao and said in surprise: "Shouldn't your commander be Xiang Xiuming?" "General Xiang is dead, now I am the commander!" After Huang Shao finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned. Something is wrong. This person should call Xiang Xiuming General Xiang. Why is he calling him by his name? He narrowed his eyes and stared at the other person. Suddenly, he found that the other person's clothes were a bit strange. He wore a sleeveless jacket outside the armor. There were many small pockets on it, bulging. I don't know what was in it? "What's your name? You are so brave that you dare to call General Xiang by his name." Huang Shao shouted angrily. The man on the top of the city grinned, "I forgot to introduce myself... I am Wu Tiezhu, the commander-in-chief of the Ning'an Army under the command of the Great Mysterious God of War Ning Chen." The commander-in-chief of the Ning'an Army under Ning Chen? Huang Shao's head buzzed, his eyes went dark, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He had heard of the great name of Ning'an Army... The shadow of death lingered in his heart, lingering.
Wu Tiezhu smiled and said, "General Huang, I will open the city gate for you right now."
