Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

But in Chen Mo's opinion, Tuoba Zhu's resistance was just like a child playing house.

Chen Mo didn't dodge and let Tuoba Zhu stab him with the sword, while kicking him at the same time.

"when!"

"Oh!"

Two voices sounded one after another, with a time difference of less than a second. Tuoba Zhu's sword was blocked by the protective spiritual energy around Chen Mo, making a clear and crisp sound.

Chen Mo's kick hit Tuoba Zhu on the head, and the innate spiritual energy that protected his body was shattered in an instant. Tuoba Zhu happened to jump up, and under the force of Chen Mo's kick, he flew high into the air.

Chen Mo lightly tapped his toes and leaped into the air, dodging the stabbing spears of Tuoba Zhu's personal soldiers.

At this moment, Tuoba Zhu's warhorse was like a hornet's nest. After letting out a sharp cry, it fell heavily to the ground.

Chen Mo leapt above Tuoba Zhu.

Chen Mo's kick just now was not full force, so he didn't kill Tuoba Zhu with one kick, but it didn't hurt either, as Tuoba Zhu was knocked unconscious by the kick.

In the night, a flash of a knife passed by.

Chen Mo stepped on Tuoba Zhu who was in mid-air and had not yet landed on the ground, then performed the Dragon Step and flew backwards.

Tuoba Zhu fell heavily to the ground, split into two, and his head rolled three or four feet before stopping. Blood gushed out from the bloody hole in Tuoba Zhu's smooth neck like a column.

Chen Mo landed on his horse, glanced at the corpse of the "enemy general", and shouted: "Your general is dead, why don't you surrender quickly."

Wow!
When the Jinxia defenders saw that their prince was dead, they completely gave up resistance, the entire formation began to collapse, and they fled in all directions, abandoning their weapons and armor.

"Zhao Liang, you leave 5,000 troops for me to control Haiyan Pass and wait for Chang En's troops to arrive. The rest of the soldiers, follow me!"

"promise."

"Kill!"

Chen Mo was not satisfied with taking Haiyan Pass. He planned to continue the night attack and take down a few more cities in Jinxia before Jinxia could react.

As for the fleeing remnants of Jin Xia's army, if they were not on the same road, Chen Mo would not continue to pursue them. As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, so they had to capture the city first to prevent Jin Xia from reacting by clearing the countryside and preventing the army from replenishing resources.

child time.

It was already dark, even the moon had disappeared.

Blackwater City.

This is Jinxia’s second city after entering Haiyan Pass, and they are only fifty miles apart.

But compared with the towering walls and sturdy gates of Haiyan Pass, the walls of Heishui City are only two meters high. Due to the scarcity of iron ore, Jinxia’s iron is used on the blades. For example, the gates of Heishui City don’t even have a thousand-jin gate.

Also, because Heishui City was not far from Haiyan Pass, there were only a few hundred defenders in the city.

Besides, at this point, everyone was asleep, with only a dozen or so soldiers standing guard on the city wall. They were relatively relaxed and chatting and joking.

The flames in the surrounding braziers flickered in the evening breeze, and from time to time, the sound of birds could be heard in the woods outside the city.

Suddenly, outside the city, there were loud bird calls and the earth shook.

The Blackwater City defenders frowned slightly, came to the battlement, raised torches and looked outside the city.

At this moment, the evening breeze slowed down a little, and the flames in the braziers on the city walls became bright again. A large group of people suddenly appeared on the open space outside the city, which was supposed to be empty, like ghost soldiers suddenly emerging from hell.

And above this large group of people, there was a flock of birds startled from the forest.

"whoosh"

The captain's face changed drastically, and just as he was about to shout, a sound of breaking air appeared in his ears. Behind the captain, a soldier who was sitting on the ground leaning against the battlement and slacking off, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he just saw a feather arrow shot into the captain's eyebrows.

"Puff."

The captain was lying on the ground, blood flowing down his forehead.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The soldier who witnessed this scene stood up in panic. He was so frightened that he couldn't hold the weapon in his hand steadily and it fell to the ground. He picked it up hastily.

"dong dong dong"

Some soldiers also noticed this scene and quickly beat the war drums nearby to sound the alarm.

The speed of the war horses was so fast that in the short time they had spent, Chen Mo took the lead and rushed to the city wall with a few guards.

"Break it for me!"

Chen Mo shouted loudly and swung an invisible blade forward. With a bang, the seemingly tall city gate suddenly broke into pieces, and wood chips flew everywhere.

Chen Mo led his men into the city, and a new round of killing officially began.

Soon, Chen Mo and his men took control of Blackwater City.

After Chen Mo asked Sun Meng to leave a small number of troops to garrison, he continued to rush towards the capital of Jinxia.

……

Early morning hours.

Gansha City is a big city in Jinxia with a population of over 100,000. It is more than 100 miles away from the border. The city is peaceful with its four gates wide open. Merchants from nearby cities are transporting goods in, and there are also civilians entering.

Because today is the big market held once a month in Gansha City. People from nearby areas will come to Gansha City to attend the market, and vendors will also bring the goods they have prepared for a long time to the market to make a fortune.

As a more prosperous and bustling city in Jinxia, ​​this city has more defenders than Heishui City. But after all, it is not at the border, so the number is not that much, only 5,000. Moreover, as local garrisons, these soldiers do not fight against external forces, so they are not only poorly equipped, but also lack combat experience.

Although the sky was just getting light, the city was already extremely lively.

The morning market has already started.

There were shouting sounds everywhere.

In a large house in the south of the city, this is the residence of the local garrison commander Tuoba Hong.

Tuoba Hong was also one of the few vassal kings of Jinxia who had military power, and Gansha City was also his fiefdom.

Although his strength was not strong, being only of the fifth rank, he was the younger brother of Khan Tuoba Hui, so he was eligible to be assigned to Gansha City with a population of over 100,000.

At this point, he was still asleep in bed with his concubine in his arms.

But at this moment, he heard urgent shouts outside his house.

"Report—report—"

Seeing that there was no movement in the room, he immediately knocked on the door.

"Who is it? Are you tired of living?"

Tuoba Hong was awakened, and he was in a bad mood when he woke up.

"Report - Your Majesty, something bad has happened. A group of cavalrymen wearing Song and Wei army armor were spotted ten miles to the south. The number of cavalrymen is unknown and they are rapidly approaching Gansha City."

As for the newly established Wei Dynasty, the Jinxia soldiers still prefer to call it the Song Dynasty.

"what?"

Tuoba Hong's eyelids jumped and he sat up.

"Wei army armor?"

"Ten miles? Did Tuoba Zhu eat shit at Haiyan Pass? Why did he let the Wei army in? Where are the sentries? Are all the sentries blind?"

Tuoba Hong cursed and got out of bed, put on his shoes and robe, tied his belt, opened the door and walked out, and said to the soldiers who came to report the news: "Order Yinchuan and Chishiling to send troops to help quickly, close the city gates, and all the soldiers and horses in the city, all go up to the city walls and hold on until the reinforcements arrive."

After saying that, Tuoba Hong spat fiercely on the ground: "Damn it." However, there was actually no need for Tuoba Hong to give orders, as the generals in the city had already gone out to prepare for war.

After all, the distance is ten miles. If the cavalry is fast, it will take less than two quarters of an hour. If it is slower, the enemy will have entered the city.

After Tuoba Hong finished speaking, he walked towards the south gate.

At this moment, the South Gate has not been closed yet.

As mentioned before, today is the big market held once a month in Gansha City.

Many vendors came from nearby, transporting goods in ox carts, horse carts, donkey carts, etc., as well as common people going to the market. If they came slowly and entered gradually, nothing would happen.

But when they learned that the Wei army was approaching and would arrive soon, the merchants and common people panicked and rushed into the city. Order was suddenly lost and the city gates were blocked.

When Tuoba Hong came over and saw this scene, his eyelids twitched: "Why are you all standing there? Fork them out, fork them out, and quickly close the city gate."

After saying this, Tuoba Hong quickly climbed up the city wall to take command.

The city walls were already prepared for war. The deputy general was even stronger than Tuoba Hong, a fourth-rank warrior. When he saw Tuoba Hong coming, he quickly stepped forward, handed the telescope to Tuoba Hong, and reported:
"Your Highness, the number of people doesn't seem to be large, less than 10,000, and they don't carry any baggage such as ladders and siege vehicles. Although I don't understand how they got here, as long as the city gates are closed, they will definitely not be able to attack in." said the deputy general.

Although Gansha City is not as big as Haiyan Pass, it is also a big city with strong defenses.

With such a small number of people and equipment, it is simply a pipe dream to attack the city.

At this time, wailing and screaming of panic could be heard from the city gate.

The defenders of Gansha City have already driven out the merchants and civilians who were blocking the city gate, and this process was bound to result in bloodshed and injuries.

Now the gates are closed.

The chain mechanism made a sound, raising the drawbridge over the moat.

At this moment, the Wei cavalry had reached the moat, and Tuoba Hong quickly ordered his men to shoot arrows to suppress them.

But the next scene almost made Tuoba Hong's eyes pop out.

Previously, a general of the Wei army jumped up from his horse, took a heavy step after landing, and directly crossed the moat which was more than three meters wide. Then he leaped up, drew his sword from his waist, and chopped it on the iron chain of the suspension bridge, forcibly lowering the suspension bridge.

And their arrows didn't even hurt a hair of the opponent.

"A top-grade warrior, Your Majesty, the other party is a top-grade warrior." The deputy general was shocked when he saw this.

Tuoba Hong had no time to answer the deputy general, his mouth was already wide open.

Because at this moment, the Wei army general had rubbed a small purple sun above his head.

All the arrows shot at the Wei army general were burned to ashes by the purple sun.

The next moment, the Wei army general pointed in the direction of the city gate.

The purple sun, which was about ten feet in size, hit the city gate directly.

"Oh!"

A deafening explosion sounded beneath the feet of Tuoba Hong and others. Tuoba Hong felt dizzy and the entire city wall was shaking violently, making him unable to stand steadily. His ears were buzzing and he could not hear any sound from outside.

At his feet, a big gap was blown out in the city gate, flames shot up into the sky, and even a large piece of the city wall on both sides of the city gate was blown away. As for the people of Jinxia who were outside, they turned into charred corpses on the ground.

Those who were still alive fainted from fright after seeing this scene.

"Charge, into the city!"

When Nalan Yiren, who was on the other side of the moat, saw this scene, he immediately gave an order and rushed forward.

"Kill!"

"The city gate is broken—"

Although they had been attacking all night, the Wei army did not feel tired at all and rushed forward as if they were full of energy.

Tuoba Hong had just come to his senses when he discovered that the Wei army had already entered the city, and his face turned pale.

There were not many soldiers in the city, and the Wei army was led by top-grade warriors. It was conceivable that once they entered the city, they would not be able to hold it.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were in chaos, and the shouting and screaming from the South Gate was deafening.

After Chen Mo entered the city, he led a dozen guards and climbed onto the city wall.

Under the system's scan, Chen Mo went straight for the strongest deputy general of the enemy army. Of course, Chen Mo regarded him as the main general in his heart.

The deputy general of Gansha City didn't know this. He and Tuoba Hong were standing together. When he saw this, he thought the other party was coming towards Tuoba Hong, and shouted in surprise: "Your Highness, please leave quickly. I will hold them back."

"kill!"

The Jinxia defenders on the city wall rushed towards Chen Mo and his group as if they were not afraid of death.

Tuoba Hong was really obedient. Under the protection of his personal soldiers, he fled towards the other side of the city wall.

"Your Majesty?"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, and took a dozen people at a time and went straight up to kill them.

"Don't let go"

Seeing this, the deputy general wanted to fight with Chen Mo for a few more rounds. However, just as he stepped forward, before he could finish a word, he was chopped in half from top to bottom by Chen Mo's sword.

Such a bloody scene frightened the remaining Jinxia defenders on the city wall so much that they dared not move forward.

Every time Chen Mo took a step forward, they took a step back.

Chen Mo ignored them.

He picked up a bloody longbow that had fallen on the ground and took out a feather arrow from the quiver on a corpse nearby.

Chen Mo bent his bow and drew his arrow, aiming at Tuoba Hong who had already descended from the city wall and was fleeing into the city.

After a simple aim, release your two fingers.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow cut through the air and the tail wing made a sharp sound.

There was a sound of "puff", and Tuoba Hong, who had just stepped down from the city wall and ran a short distance, fell to the ground with a feather arrow stuck in the back of his head.

The personal soldiers who were guarding Tuoba Hong looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this scene.

Chen Mo put down his longbow and looked at the Jinxia defenders in front of him who were also looking at each other in bewilderment and shrinking back, then wiped the blood off his face and shouted angrily with his knife:

"The Emperor of Wei is here! Your prince is dead now. If you don't surrender quickly, I will kill you without mercy!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The guards behind Chen Mo were also not afraid at all and shouted loudly.

"when"

Some people threw down their weapons. They were not as brave as the defenders of Haiyan Pass. After someone took the lead, the defenders on the city wall put down their weapons and surrendered one after another.

After confiscating their weapons and armor, Chen Mo led his troops and attacked the other three gates.

After occupying all four city gates as quickly as possible, Chen Mo ordered the blockade of Gansha City, rest on the spot, replenish supplies, and clear out the Jinxia Army that was still resisting in the city.

At this point, last night's night raid has finally come to an end.
