Chapter 310 The Suffering Behind the Killing
Lan An's suppression didn't take too long, and the enemy knew that the longer the delay, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them.

The main general waved the flag and ordered to break through at any cost.

The army of the Southern Dynasty ignored the dense rain of arrows on the tower and rushed forward wave after wave. Even the people behind used the front as a shield and paid a very heavy price. Killed in front of Qin Xiao and others.

The two armies met, the battle shook the sky, blood was shed, and the souls of heroes were buried.

Lan An raised his hand to signal the archers to stop, and he pulled the bowstring himself, occasionally shooting and killing one or two raiders for Qin Xiao, Wu Zheng and other generals.

The battle between the two sides lasted from late at night to the dawn of the next day. The tenacious Southern Dynasty Army fought hard to resist, and the Central Guard Army won an extremely thrilling victory.

Qin Xiao was covered in blood. He was exhausted and leaned against the corner of the city wall. As far as he could see, there were corpses everywhere, including the Southern Dynasty Army and the Central Guard Army.

Looking back, there are only 1000 people alive in the Central Guard Army, and hundreds of people are just alive.

The morning sun was particularly glaring, shrouded in the city wall, hazy and unrecognizable, the blue-gray city wall glowed with the cold light that had changed over the years, ruthless and desolate.

Just like Qin Xiao's heart at the moment.

He took a deep breath and stood up in front of the city wall: "A'an, clean up the battlefield. The rest follow me into the city."

The doors of the people in Songzi City are all closed, and the sound of fighting last night makes them still have lingering fears at this moment.

They cheered up, just to frighten the people and the big clan in Songzi City, but Qin Xiao underestimated these people's rejection of the invasion after all.

The county magistrate of Songzi City united with several big households, seeing that Qin Xiao and the others were just at the end of their battle, they gathered a group of servants and ordered them to evacuate immediately.

Qin Xiao faced these people in a very difficult situation. First, they had no strength to fight anymore. Second, if these people massacred them wantonly, then the war between the two dynasties would be difficult to negotiate for a while.

The fighting has been going on all the time, and the Central Guards stationed here have to charge in one day. After two fierce battles, nearly 5000 people in the Central Guards died.

The Central Guard Army originally had only 2 people, of which 1000 stayed in the capital.

"Commander, what should we do?" Zhao Chun counted on Qin Xiao to make up his mind.

Songzi City, which was finally captured, lost nearly [-] central guards for this, and was forced to retreat by a group of ordinary people. How could they be willing?
If you don't retreat, you have to fight hard, and you have to carefully decide the severity of the attack on these people.

"Fight!" It is absolutely impossible for Qin Xiao to let their army be forced to retreat by the people, "You and Ah Zheng will open the way for me, and Ah An will find a place to cover for me, and I will kill the county magistrate as soon as possible!"

As long as the county magistrate is killed, this mob will collapse without attack!

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Stop killing. If A'an has the opportunity, kill the county magistrate without asking for instructions."

"No!" Several people followed orders.

Just when several people were ready to continue fighting, the sound of galloping horseshoes sounded outside the city.

Suddenly Qin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he looked back.

The morning light was still hazy, and a force came out of nowhere to tear through the covering membrane, and horses came galloping.

The crimson and black-edged flag fluttered in the wind in the eyes of every Central Guard Army, making them feel relieved and overjoyed!
"The general will never leave anything to chance." Zhao Chun's eyes were red and sour, and the hand holding the weapon was shaking.

The Central Guards, who were still able to hold back a lot of energy, all spit out a breath of foul air from their chests at this moment, and some couldn't bear it, and directly indulged themselves to fall and sit down.

They don't have to fight anymore, and they can finally take a breather.

"Yang Ze (Fu Qi) of the cavalry building has seen the commander-in-chief and was ordered by the general to come to meet him." The two building owners stepped forward and saluted Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao stepped forward to help the two of them up. He looked back. There were two buildings of cavalry in the Central Guard Army, a total of 2000 troops. Junci sent them all. He couldn't help but ask, "How is Yidu?"

"General Yidu is in charge, so don't worry about the commander." Yang Ze replied, "Before the last general left, Commander Liu had already returned to Yidu."

There are still nearly 1 people in Yidu, and Junci personally guards it, and Liucheng and Huo Qingqu are there. Qin Xiao feels at ease: "I have taken Songzi City, and the rest must be done on the two of you."

"The commander is serious. We will quickly check and deploy the defenses. Please take a rest for the brothers who are leading the attack." Yang Ze immediately said.

With the arrival of two thousand cavalry, the people gathered in Songzi City threw down their sticks and knives without them asking.

The county magistrate acted as an instigator, and Qin Xiao cut off his head in front of everyone. With bloody force, he expropriated the county government.

"Summon all the doctors in the city and quickly treat the injuries of the soldiers. Let's sleep as soon as possible. I'm afraid there will be a big battle at night." Qin Xiao entered the county office and gave instructions as he walked.

"Commander." Fu Qi who followed hurriedly said, "The general ordered the two of us to be one step ahead, to assist in commanding and stabilizing Songzi City. The Southern Dynasty army captured by Yidu was escorted by the general in batches. The first batch should meet in the afternoon. withstand.

The general ordered that if the army of Nanping County arrives, there is no need to fight with them, just tie the captives to the tower. "

Qin Xiao, who was still tense at first, suddenly fell to his heart: "I forgot, we still have generals."

Junci is good at fighting, and grew up in the Mobei Army when he was young. He has experienced countless battles and has rich experience.

She had a deep meaning in capturing the Southern Dynasty army, not just to reduce killings, or to negotiate with the Southern Dynasty.

With these thousands of people, no matter how large the army of the Southern Dynasty came, they would not dare to attack the city easily, unless they personally shot and killed almost one of the army's comrades!

Junci had already arranged the escape route for them, and Qin Xiao and the others completely relaxed. They thought they would be able to sleep soundly after dealing with their injuries.

Their bodies are tired, and their spirits are also sleepy, but lying on the couch, they toss and turn and cannot fall asleep.

As soon as I close my eyes, it is the fight under the city tower today, the blood splattered, and the corpses from that place.

The few people who couldn't fall asleep simply turned over and sat up, looking at each other with sluggish expressions.

It was a long time before Qin Xiao let out a long sigh: "After all, we have experienced few things."

In contrast to Jun Ci, she entered Zhijiang City alone, and from Zhijiang City all the way to Yidu, but she was not bound by nightmare like them.

"Little lord, when do you say this kind of killing will stop?" Wu Zheng lay down again, staring at the beam with his eyes open.His bloodshot eyes were somewhat hollow.

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment before asking: "Can't you take it anymore?"

"What about you?" Wu Zheng didn't answer, but asked instead.

Qin Xiao lowered his head and looked at the bluffing five fingers, his hands still trembling unconsciously.

I don't know if it's because of holding the weapon for too long and struggling to kill the enemy, or because of the softness and iron blood in my heart.

When killing bandits, they only had excitement and energy in their hearts, and they killed quite a few people, but they didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
