Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 308: Rebels’ internal support, chaos and speculation, Longshan changes its owner [-word chapter, please subscribe]]

The second year of Daxia, the sixth day of the seventh month, at midnight
The wind and snow are like knives, and the coldness erodes the earth.

At this moment, the roar at the Longshan garrison was deafening.

"The rebels have entered the main building!"

"We will not retreat from Longshan, brothers, we will hold back the Xia army even if we die!"

"We can't let them get in. The leader's reinforcements will be back soon."

"Longshan was defeated. He will not be killed if he surrenders his weapons!"

"The Xia army is disrupting the morale of the army. Brothers, stop them."

………………

On the eastern periphery of the Longshan base, there are hundreds of pentagonal iron stakes with a side length of eight meters.

These iron stakes extend from the ground, and the part exposed above the ground alone is fifteen meters high. There is a thick iron cable connected to the inside of each iron stake, which is obviously used to control its extension and retraction underground.

Hundreds of iron stakes extend eastward from the north and south points of the mountain, and finally connect at the eastern periphery, forming a fan-shaped iron stake wall with a total length of about twelve kilometers, firmly guarding the Longshan garrison inside.

It's a pity that at this moment, on the north side, close to the mountain, two iron stakes did not extend from the ground; on the left side of the two iron stakes, there was another iron stake that only extended halfway, and the extended part was actually bent a lot inward.

Each side of these pentagonal iron piles is eight meters long, and three of them are not protruding from the ground, which is equivalent to opening a twenty-meter-wide hole in the originally airtight city wall.

The area around the gap in the iron stake was now littered with corpses. The thick smell of blood had almost condensed into a substantial blood mist in the air. The snowflakes falling from the sky were dyed red, adding a bit of piercing chill to this world.

Obviously, this opening has just caused a devastating blow to Longshan.

A huge crowd of people had already rushed in through the opening.

The entire Longshan garrison was filled with the sounds of hacking and roaring.

Tens of thousands of Digging Realm warriors in plain clothes and holding sharp weapons are rushing madly towards the core main building of the garrison. The thousands of Longshan defenders standing in front of them are constantly retreating.

Although more and more loggers and even ordinary people rushed out to fight for their lives around the main building, they still could not stop the retreat of Longshan. The side attacking the city was getting closer and closer to the main building, and soon there was only less than 500 meters left.

Moreover, people on the attacking side kept shouting "surrender your weapons and you won't be killed." The morale of the Longshan defenders was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. Many ordinary people began to flee towards the houses in the garrison. Once the signs of this rout appeared, they quickly began to spread among the crowd, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Compared with the shouts and cries of killing that were rising to the sky in the garrison, the outer area seemed unusually quiet. Near a tall building closest to the iron pile wall, there was a large group of soldiers in light golden armor, roughly several hundred in number.

However, these people were obviously not in good condition at the moment. The armor on most of them had been torn to pieces, and nearly half of them were injured. There were even dozens of them lying on the ground gasping for breath, obviously in a state of being seriously injured.

But even so, the expressions on these people's faces were more excited than each other. Sometimes they turned their heads to look in the direction of the Longshan main building, and sometimes they looked up at the top floor of the tall building next to them. Their expressions were excited and their pupils were full of excitement.

"We really did break through. We actually...broke through Longshan!"

"Leader, you are too strong. The insider didn't succeed. It was because you bent the iron stake that we were able to get in. You also helped the insider loosen the other two iron stakes. Otherwise, the army outside wouldn't be able to get in."

"Indeed, the leader fought against many enemies with a small number of people, and was able to cut off Li Tiancheng's arm, kill Li Xuankong, and severely injure three Yuhan-level warriors. If it weren't for the leader holding back the masters of Longshan, how could Yuwen Sizheng and the others concentrate on leading us to attack the city?"

"I guessed that there was an insider in Longshan. Han Qiong saved so many people in Longshan and Zhaoyang some time ago, but why would the Diggers of Changning, Songyuan, and Yucheng turn against Longshan in the face of a battle?"

"I just heard that during the Longyou Alliance in April, the leaders of these three families were killed by Longshan. They were forcibly annexed by Longshan. Some of their diehards were imprisoned in the Longshan dungeon. They were unwilling to obey. Our insiders secretly went to the dungeon and released them. After being persuaded by these people, the more than 3,000 Diggers from the other three families who had surrendered quickly defected to us."

"What a great achievement! Who is this traitor? He is so powerful!"

"Four days ago, among the more than 5,000 people from Zhaoyang who came to Longshan, more than 300 were arranged in advance by Lord Hou Jing, and it seems that there was also a cold-resistant level among them."

"There are not only this group, there are also two in Longshan, named Yang Zhong and Li Hu. These two people seem to be very important. Li Hu was captured by Li Tiancheng. Yang Zhong is upstairs now. The leader just summoned him."

"This is a huge contribution. The leader will probably reward him handsomely."

"If we defeat Longshan, won't Longyou belong to Daxia from now on?"

"Hahahaha, Longshan, mainly Longshan, the three resource areas in Longyou, from now on, will all belong to our Daxia family!"

........................

Different from the joy and excitement of the Yunjiao Army downstairs.

On the top floor, Liu Yuan and Peng Bo were guarding the door of a room. Although they looked very excited, they were obviously trying to control their emotions. They remained quiet the whole time, only looking into the room from time to time.

Behind the two men was Yang Zhong, who looked extremely anxious.

"Hu Zi has been captured by Li Tiancheng. Only the leader can save him. I will definitely ask the leader to save him. We have finally made it through. We cannot let Hu Zi die!"

At this moment, Yang Zhong kept repeating this sentence in his mind.

Just as the soldiers of the Yunjiao Army below were discussing, the roles played by him and Li Hu in Daxia's victory over Longshan this time were almost irreplaceable.

Four days ago, that is, on the night of June 22, among the more than 5,000 people who came from Zhaoyang, there was a cold-resistant soldier named Liu Ying, who approached him and Li Hu and explained to them Daxia's plan to attack Longshan.

Yang Zhong was extremely nervous at the time, but thanks to Li Hu's courage, he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and quickly seized it.

With the cooperation of Liu Ying's 300-odd people, they first sneaked into the dungeon and met with the diehard prisoners of the Changning, Songyuan and Yucheng families, and successfully communicated with these people in advance. Then, they waited until the first half of the night today when Daxia started to attack the city from the east front. While the camp was in chaos, they directly released the people in the dungeon.

After these people successfully instigated most of the digging realms of the three families to rebel, Li Hu led them directly to the north side and, according to the original plan, opened the iron pile wall on the north side to let the Xia army in.

The Xia army's frontal attack tonight was a feint. The elite Yunjiao army had been hiding on the northern periphery, and when they saw the unusual movement inside, they immediately rushed over.

Of course, things did not go so smoothly. As soon as this large group of people moved, they were discovered by Li Tiancheng before they could lower the two iron stakes on the north side by a few meters.

Fortunately, Xia Hong took action in time!

Even though more than an hour had passed, Yang Zhong couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he recalled the moment when Xia Hong kicked the pentagonal iron stake to bend it. His pupils were filled with shock and admiration.

The only thing he was worried about right now was Li Hu, who was captured by Li Tiancheng when he opened the door for Xia Jun.

They have made such great contributions and have finally made it through. They are about to go to Daxia to live a good life. He must not let anything happen to Li Hu.

"The leader summoned me, he must want to reward me something. I don't want anything, I just want him to rescue Li Hu, the leader will definitely agree to my request!"

He was originally on the battlefield with the seven digging realms, and received a notice from Peng Bo saying that Xia Hong wanted to summon him, so he was waiting here.

Just now, Xia Hong cut off Li Tiancheng's arm and repelled a group of cold-resistant soldiers from Longshan. He let the four armies of Zhaoyang, Baiyuan, Xiling and Dongkang outside rush into the base and meet up with the three rebel forces. Then they went straight into this high-rise building and never left.

The Yunjiao Army should be resting down there now, and also practicing to protect Xia Hong. After all, they had just broken through the Longyou Iron Wall, and they had made the greatest contribution, and suffered heavy casualties.

At present, the tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield are commanded by Hou Jing, Chen Yingyuan and other Yu Han-level soldiers. Although the war has not ended, the result is basically out.

Although he was very worried about Li Hu's safety, Yang Zhong didn't even dare to breathe at this moment, because he could feel that Xia Hong in the room should be practicing in seclusion, and it was probably at some critical moment.

Huh… Huh… Huh… Huh…

Even through the wall, he could sense Xia Hong's incomparably powerful aura from his increasingly distant and long breathing, and as his breathing became longer and longer, the aura continued to rise and expand.

"Too strong. I have already broken through the limit of 30,000 jin, but in front of this momentum, I am still like a child. How strong is the leader..."

call!
The breathing sounds in the room suddenly became quieter. Yang Zhong looked up suddenly and found that Liu Yuan and Peng Bo in front of him had already looked up and stared at the room before him.

Leader, the training should be over!
"Yang Zhong, right? You and Li Hu did a good job this time. When we return to Xiacheng, I will reward you two handsomely."

Hearing Xia Hong's voice coming from the room, Yang Zhong immediately knelt down and said with a worried look on his face: "Yang Zhong does not want any reward, I just ask the leader to rescue my brother Li Hu. To be honest, it was Li Hu's idea to release everyone in the dungeon and instigate the three Yucheng families to rebel. I was just assisting him from the side."

call…………

Just a gust of air hit his face, and Yang Zhong, who was lying on the ground with his head down, found a pair of black animal leather boots in front of him. Realizing that it was Xia Hong standing in front of him, he immediately lowered his head even lower.

Xia Hong, who had just walked out of the room, had not yet lost the excitement on his face. He calmed down a little, then looked down at Yang Zhong lying on the ground. With a hint of admiration in his eyes, he gently raised his hand and gestured:
"Get up! Don't worry, Li Tiancheng won't kill him! You are both great contributors. When we return to Xiacheng, I will reward you two for your contributions!"

Although Yang Zhong was somewhat puzzled, he still raised his head as ordered. When he saw Xia Hong up close, the admiration and enthusiasm in his heart almost overflowed from his eyes. He could not help but bow his head respectfully to Xia Hong: "Thank you, Chief!"

It would be hard for anyone who has witnessed Xia Hong's strength not to show an expression like Yang Zhong's. Just like Liu Yuan, who is very familiar with Xia Hong, and Peng Bo, who is very old, they can hardly hide the enthusiasm on their faces at this moment.

Xia Hong was in no mood to look at the expressions on Liu Yuan and the other two's faces. He saw through the window that the army on the west had already reached the bottom of the main building. He couldn't help but become excited again after just calming down.

Surprisingly, they actually broke through Longshan!

The whole time Xia Hong went north, he never thought that he could capture Longshan in one fell swoop.

His only purpose was to force Li Xuanling to withdraw his troops by besieging Longshan.

Hou Jing had more than 300 spies mixed in with the more than 5,000 people in Zhaoyang. The original plan was just to cause some minor problems in the defense of Longshan City. Who would have thought that Li Hu and Yang Zhong were so smart that they could incite so many Digging Realm members from the three families of Yucheng, Changning and Songyuan to rebel by releasing the prisoners in the dungeon.

The situation of people's support in Longshan is really terrifying.

The difference between the role that more than 3,000 rebels can play and that of 300 traitors is simply huge.

Xia Hong originally planned to attack Longshan on the night of the fifth day. After learning that there might be three thousand rebels, he changed his mind and bought Li Yang and the others another day.

Surprisingly, it really worked.

Destroy Longshan directly!

"I originally thought I would have to fight Longshan for a few more years. Plans really can't keep up with changes. Since the people of Longshan have turned against me and collapsed so quickly, I have to change my approach next!"

After Xia Hong pondered for a moment, he turned around and asked Liu Yuan, "How long has Yuwen Tao been gone?"

"In just over an hour, according to his speed, he should have reached the hive. He brought all the severed arms and heads with him. As expected, Li Xuanling should have withdrawn his troops. I just don't know if Si Cheng suffered heavy casualties."

Hearing Liu Yuan's answer, Xia Hong's expression froze slightly.

He was well aware of the difficulty of having 9,500 Digging Territory soldiers guarding 3,000 Longyou troops.

It would be fine if the iron wall of the honeycomb was not broken, but once it was broken and the barrier was lost, the result would be hard to predict. Moreover, Li Xuantian was still present. Even though he left the Hanxu Ding for Xia Chuan, Xia Hong was still unsure.

"Although the Cold Ruins Cauldron can kill ghosts, it is too attractive to cold beasts. There are a total of ten wooden men, and they can only exert the strength of intermediate cold beasts. Once they are ignited in the beehive, it will not end well..."

Xia Hong took a deep breath, looked up to the west, and frowned.

The battle in the direction of the main building on the west side was still going on. Hou Jing and his group of Cold-Resistant-class soldiers were almost reaching the main building, but the tens of thousands of Digging-level soldiers were still more than 400 meters outside the building. They were obviously blocked by the Longshan defenders.

Moreover, as more and more people from Longshan rushed to the main building, the army actually showed signs of retreating.

Liu Yuan followed Xia Hong's gaze and immediately knew why he frowned. He said softly, "Leader, there are too many people in Longshan. Even if we exclude the three families that have rebelled, there are still more than 70,000 of them. They are all loyal to Longshan. There are also many Digging Realm among them. It is estimated that there are more than 8,000 of them."

After all, it is Longshan, and it is indeed a wealthy and powerful family!

Xia Hong shook his head and sighed slightly. After breaking through the iron wall, they had killed at least three to four thousand Digging Realm warriors, but there were still more than eight thousand left in Longshan.

In other words, if there were not more than 3,000 rebels, the number of Digging Territory guarding Longshan would have been more than 15,000.

The population of this Digging Realm is truly enviable.

Even in Daxia, it may not be available now.

"Captain, my Yunjiao Army still has more than 600 combat-ready soldiers. Let me lead them and cooperate with Hou Jing's 10,000 men to break through the main building. It shouldn't be difficult."

Seeing that the battle on the west side was making no progress, Liu Yuan couldn't help it anymore and directly offered to fight.

However, Xia Hong rejected him without a second thought and waved his hand, saying, "Longshan has already been lost. We don't need you anymore. In Baiyuan, Xiling, and tonight's siege, the Yunjiao Army has lost more than 300 people in total. They can't afford to suffer any more. You continue to take them here to rest, and Peng Bo can go with me. Oh, and you..."

Although Liu Yuan was somewhat disappointed, he also knew that what Xia Hong said was right. He could only nod and watch Xia Hong, Peng Bo, and Yang Zhong, the last person to be named, leave.

"Leader!"

"Meet the leader."

"Meet the leader..."

………………

As Xia Hong walked downstairs, he saw many wounded Yunjiao soldiers standing up to salute him. He immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, "Just lie down and recuperate. No need to stand up. The Yunjiao Army should be credited with the first merit for taking Longshan this time. Let's wait for rewards when we return to Xiacheng!"

Upon hearing this, all the Yunjiao Army soldiers became excited.

The Yunjiao Army should be credited with the main credit for the capture of Longshan this time.

Xia Hong said this himself, so it has great value.

Contribution points, martial arts hall, elixirs, weapons, supplies, training resources...

All the soldiers suddenly fell into reverie.

Xia Hong did not continue to disturb the crowd and continued to rush to the western battlefield. While walking, he noticed that Yang Zhong behind him always looked worried. He immediately smiled and said, "Why, I said Li Tiancheng would not kill Li Hu, you don't believe me?"

Yang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said with a puzzled look: "I dare not disbelieve what the leader said, but..."

"Li Xuanling's 3,000 Longyou troops will not be able to make any waves. The Longshan Li family will soon become history. Li Tiancheng will not let the Li family die out!"

Won’t the Li family be extinct?
Yang Zhong lowered his head and thought for a moment. After he figured it out, his body trembled slightly.

........................

"Where is the leader's army? Why haven't they come back to help?"

"We are only 300 meters away from the main building. The Xia army will soon attack us."

"There is hope. With tens of thousands of us here, Hou Jing can't get in."

"What a bullshit hope! The golden-armored army of Daxia has not moved yet. They have been resting and watching from the back. If they attack us, we will be finished."

"Go and inform the leader to lead the army back to the base as soon as possible."

"Traitors, traitors, traitors. The damn traitors from the three Yucheng families should have been hunted down and killed long ago. They should have been killed long ago."

"I told the leader at the beginning that these three families were not trustworthy. What's the point of locking up only the few high-ranking members? As soon as those people in the dungeon came out to persuade them, all of them rebelled. More than 3,000 people, more than 3,000 people all stood on the side of Daxia. It's all over..."

"Li Hu, Li Hu, you evil beast, you bleed the blood of my Li family, and you have been colluding with outsiders. Now you have killed so many people. I will kill you, I will kill you, ah......"

"It was Li Hu who led people to the dungeon and let the three high-ranking officials go. It was him."

"I was wondering why the Xia army was so familiar with the environment of our Longshan garrison. As soon as they attacked from the north, they rushed along the mountain to the main building. None of the dangerous garrisons deployed in the construction area were effective. The traitors, Li Hu and Yang Zhong, told the Xia army about the garrison situation."

"I'm going to peel off your skin, Li Hu, you beast, beast!"

........................

On the top floor of the main building, hundreds of people gathered in the Longshan meeting hall.

Different from the usual grand scene, the faces of the hundreds of people in the hall at this moment were filled with either fear or desolation, without any trace of the former overlords of Longyou.

After a series of desperate and fearful roars, several Longshan men raised their swords and rushed to the front, where Li Hu was tied to a pillar.

Li Hu's upper body was stained with blood at this moment. Although he was injured, there was no sign of pain on his face. Instead, he looked at the group of people who were clamoring to kill him and laughed very happily.

"Shut up, everyone!"

The whole hall was in chaos, accompanied by the sounds of hacking and killing outside the main building. It was so noisy that it became extremely chaotic. Until the pale-faced Li Tiancheng shouted angrily, the Li family members who were shouting and rushing forward also stood still. The whole hall finally quieted down.

But the quieter it was, the clearer the sounds of the battlefield on the east side of the main building could be heard. The fear on many people's faces became more and more intense, and some women and timid and young people even began to tremble.

Li Tiancheng's left arm was gone. He swung his empty sleeves, stared down at Li Hu who was tied to the pillar, and asked in a low voice:

"Changbaigou was ambushed. It was you who sent the letter to Xia Jun, right?"

"Of course it was me. The new army formed in June, 800 sets of hundred-forged armor, the destination was Baiyuan, and it was given to Zhaoyang. I told Xia Jun everything!"

Li Hu met Li Tiancheng's gaze directly without avoiding it. Li Tiancheng closed his eyes, and his expression suddenly became extremely sad.

"You are also a descendant of Longshan. You have Li blood flowing in your veins..."

"Shut up, old man. I have never been a descendant of the Li family. I took my mother Li Yuning's surname. The blood flowing in my body is the blood of the Zhaoyuan Li family. I have nothing to do with your Longshan Li family except the hatred of killing my mother."

Before Li Tiancheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Hu.

Seeing the deep hatred in Li Hu's eyes, Li Tianben's already old face instantly gained many more wrinkles, and he looked much more listless.

There are only so many people in Longshan. Li Tiancheng has actually known the life experience of his nephew Li Hu and the unfair treatment he suffered for a long time.

But there are too many children in the Li family, and Li Hu is not talented among them. In addition, her stepmother Zhu Rou is the daughter of Zhu Xing, a member of the Yuhan class from another family. So even if he knew, it would be difficult for him to intervene.

His original thought was that because of all the hardships Li Hu had suffered, he would be more likely to succeed in the future than other pampered Li family members.

Now it seems that he has indeed become a talented person, but he is a talent of Daxia!

When Li Tiancheng closed his eyes and pondered, a woman holding a sword came out from behind and rushed directly towards Li Hu:

"Little bastard, little bastard, I told you long ago that this ungrateful bastard could never be tamed. You should have listened to me and killed him. Now not only did he cause my son to be captured by Daxia, but he also caused such a disaster. Let me kill him, kill him!"

The woman who rushed out happened to be Li Hu's stepmother, Zhu Rou.

After the ambush in Changbaigou, Li Yuanqing was captured by Daxia. Zhu Rou had been thinking about it all the time. Now she suddenly learned that her son was killed by Li Hu. One can imagine how angry she was, and she rushed out to kill Li Hu.

Li Tiancheng first looked at Zhu Rou, and then noticed that the hatred in Li Hu's eyes when he looked at Zhu Rou was deep in his bones. He sighed slightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, picked up a dagger on the table, and threw it at Zhu Rou.

Keng...

The dagger was knocked off by a broadsword.

He is a middle-aged man whose face is somewhat similar to Zhu Rou.

"Uncle Tiancheng, why did you attack my daughter for no reason?"

Zhu Xing's knuckles were already cracked, and it was obviously not easy for him to knock down Li Tiancheng's dagger. He looked at Li Tiancheng and spoke in a low voice, with a very obvious questioning tone.

Everything happened so fast that everyone in the hall looked confused and obviously couldn't react.

Why did Li Tiancheng suddenly want to kill Zhu Rou?
Zhu Xing actually dared to block Li Tiancheng's dagger?
The only person in the audience who was tied to a pillar was Li Hu. He turned his head and looked at Li Tiancheng. His expression froze for a moment, as if he had figured something out, with a complex look in his eyes.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Zhu Xing, Longshan was defeated today, and your daughter cannot escape the blame. With so many casualties in the camp, she must pay with her life!"

Zhu Xing's face darkened, and he seemed to have no intention of covering up anymore. He pointed at Li Hu and sneered, "If I remember correctly, the other traitor named Yang Zhong is your grandson, right? Your Li family is unfortunate to have raised these two little beasts who brought wolves into the house. You didn't care about it, but instead wanted to kill my daughter. You have to take responsibility for your wrongdoing.

Li Tiancheng, do you really think we are outsiders and dogs of your Li family?"

Zhu Xing asked the last question in a roar.

"Zhu Xing, you are so bold!"

"Dare you speak to Grandpa like that?"

"Zhu Xing, what do you want to do?"

………………

The Li family members in the hall all began to speak out to denounce the incident.

But their momentum is obviously not that big.

In the hall, except for a small number of Li family members who stood on Li Tiancheng's side, most of them stood directly behind Zhu Xing, and many people remained silent and did not say a word.

Li Tiancheng did not seem surprised by this subtle scene. He looked up at Zhu Xing and asked with a chuckle:
"Zhu Xing, it seems that you have your own plans?"

When the iron pile wall was breached, Hou Hu immediately took his men away. Of the five cold-resistant soldiers in Longshan, one was killed by Xia Hong, and three were seriously injured, leaving only Zhu Xing.

He had also lost an arm and now he had to kill Zhu Rou, so it was understandable that Zhu Xing had already made plans.

Zhu Xing's thoughts were exposed, but he didn't look embarrassed at all. He looked at Li Tiancheng calmly and said, "Uncle Tiancheng, the Li family's defeat is a foregone conclusion. We outsiders are just changing our masters. We will not die with you, the Li family!"

Hearing Zhu Xing's heart-piercing words, the Li family members angrily rebuked him:

"Zhu Xing, you beast!"

"Evil beast, Zhu Xing, when the leader leads the army back to help, he will kill you."

"Zhu Rou, you are the second young master's woman, and you betrayed Longshan..."

………………

"What a lively scene, everyone!"

But their rebuke was soon interrupted by a faint laugh.

Hearing this faint laugh, the expressions of everyone in the hall suddenly froze, including Li Tiancheng at the top and the many Li family members in front of him.

They were all too familiar with this voice.

At the beginning of the siege last night, less than three breaths after this voice was heard, an iron stake on the north side was bent by someone from the outside.

stomping on...

The sound of footsteps came from the door of the hall at the back. Everyone turned their heads and saw the black figure standing at the door. They all shuddered.

At the entrance of the hall, Xia Hong, dressed in black, walked slowly towards them. He had two thin knives of equal length hanging on his waist. He was smiling and did nothing, but he made the hundreds of people in the hall dare not breathe.

Those who were blocking Xia Hong all retreated to the sides, leaving him a path leading to the back of the hall.

There’s still a fight going on outside, and the main building hasn’t been breached yet!
How did Xia Hong get in?
This confusion popped up in everyone's mind.

Xia Hong walked to the back of the hall as if no one was around, looked up at Li Tiancheng above him, bowed slightly, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhu Xing next to him.

Pah……

"Greetings, Chief Xia. Zhu Xing is willing to bring his family and friends to join the Great Xia. I hope Chief Xia will be willing to take him in."

Zhu Xing knelt down directly. Zhu Rou beside him and more than a hundred people behind him all knelt down in front of Xia Hong.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the Li family members were filled with anger. Some of them couldn't help but open their mouths and yell, but were stopped by the people around them.

Li Tiancheng on the high platform did not say anything, but just watched quietly.

On the other hand, Li Hu, who was tied to the pillar, clenched his fists, closed his eyes silently, and a trace of pain clearly flashed across his face.

Zhu Xing also joined Da Xia, so how could he kill Zhu Rou for revenge?

A cold-resistant level, worth more than himself and Yang Zhong combined.

There is no need to think about what Xia Hong will choose.

Zhu Rou, who was kneeling on the ground, obviously realized this and was looking up at Li Hu with a smug look on her face.

call out…………

But the smug look on her face froze instantly when the sound of the blade came and a surge of heat hit her face.

It was his father Zhu Xing who was kneeling beside him, and his head was chopped off by Xia Hong.

A meter-high column of blood spurted out directly from her neck and splashed onto her face, which was also the source of the hot flow.

“Ah… Dad…”

Everyone's expression was stunned, and no one could react. Xia Hong suddenly killed Zhu Xing who surrendered to him.

The whole place suddenly fell into deathly silence, with only Zhu Rou's screams and howls.

"I don't like people who act like dogs, and a six-mane cold-resistant level is no different from an ordinary person in my eyes. Thinking that he can save his life by relying on his cultivation is too naive!"

Xia Hong spoke lightly, then directly cut the rope that tied Li Hu, and handed the Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand, which had been cut off by Li Xuanling before, to him.

"Go and get your revenge!"

As early as the moment Xia Hong killed Zhu Xing, Li Hu's expression was full of emotion. At this moment, after hearing Xia Hong's words and taking the Dragon Sparrow Knife from him, his body trembled uncontrollably. It was really difficult to suppress the emotions in his heart. He knelt down directly in front of Xia Hong and said in a trembling voice:
"The leader is so kind and generous that I cannot repay him. From now on, I will be a Daxia citizen in life and a Daxia ghost in death. I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Even if the leader tells me to die now, I will never frown!"

This seemed to be a one-way promise. After saying it, Li Hu didn't even wait for Xia Hong's response. He kowtowed three times, then stood up and rushed towards Zhu Rou.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"I am your mother, Li Hu, I am your mother."

"You can't kill me, don't..."

Zhu Rou not only begged for mercy, she even intended to retreat and escape.

Unfortunately, without Xia Hong saying anything, a few people with sharp eyes quickly came out from behind her who had originally planned to surrender with Zhu Xing and controlled her.

Pfft…………

Li Hu showed no mercy and chopped off Zhu Rou's head with his sword.

After waiting for the farce to end, Xia Hong turned his gaze back to Li Tiancheng above him, cupped his hands again, and said with a smile: "Senior Li, Longshan has been defeated. How about not letting those people outside make unnecessary sacrifices?"

Li Tiancheng did not speak for a long time, but a member of the Li family in front of him stepped forward bravely, pointed at Xia Hong and said angrily:
"You want us to surrender? Forget it. I still have 3,000 Longyou troops in Longshan, waiting for the leader to lead the troops back to support us. You all must die here. I obey..."

puff!

There happened to be a dagger at his feet. Xia Hong raised his foot and kicked it. The dagger suddenly flew up and stabbed the man directly in the center of his eyebrows, interrupting him.

boom……

The body hit the ground with a loud noise, causing everyone in the hall to tremble.

"Senior Li, how is it?"

Xia Hong didn't even look at the man from beginning to end. He just continued to stare at Li Tiancheng behind the platform and asked again.

Li Tiancheng's eyes had been fixed on Li Hu just now. Now he seemed to have finally come to his senses. He looked at Xia Hong and sighed heavily:
"It is not unfair for Longshan to be defeated by you..."

But his face was still filled with reluctance. After a pause, he asked with a slightly struggling tone, "I still have more than fifty cold-resistant soldiers in Longshan and three thousand Longyou troops outside. Xia Hong, do you really think you have a sure win?"

“I can’t come back!”

Xia Hong answered directly. Seeing that Li Tiancheng was still puzzled, he smiled and continued, "The three thousand Longyou soldiers, no matter whether they win or lose in the Beehive, they can't come back!"

"Why?"

Li Tiancheng still asked unwillingly.

Xia Hong did not answer directly, but took back his Dragon Sparrow Sword from Li Hu next to him, and then threw it fiercely at Li Tiancheng on the high platform.

call out!
After the Dragon Sparrow Sword flew out of Xia Hong's hand, it almost immediately turned into a silver light, suddenly flashed past Li Tiancheng's ear, and went straight through the wall behind him.

boom…………

After the Dragon Sparrow Sword passed through the wall, it took two or three breaths before it finally hit something and made a loud noise.

The others were still a little confused, but Li Tiancheng's expression suddenly changed.

"Why do you think I only cut off one of your arms just now?"

Li Tiancheng's eyes trembled violently. Others didn't understand, but he did.

The distance between the main building and the mountain behind is about one kilometer. Xia Hong's casual throw just now took it over in less than three breaths, and it could make such a loud noise from such a distance.

strength!

Xia Hong's strength is far beyond his own.

"Why do you think I only cut off one of your arms just now?"

Combined with Xia Hong's question, Li Tiancheng was already in a state of panic. With his strength, he had a chance to kill himself when he was attacking the city just now.

Why did he deliberately cut off only one of his arms?
Of course, it was to have someone take the severed arm to show to the Longyou Army, and then force Li Xuanling to lead the army back for support. Just now, Xia Hong asked Yuwen Tao to take the severed arm and Li Xuankong's head away in front of everyone, and Li Tiancheng also heard it.

"Impossible! Even if Xuan Ling brings 3,000 troops to help you, you won't have any means to deal with her. Your Great Xia simply doesn't have the strength to do so!"

Seeing that Li Tiancheng was still unwilling to give in, Xia Hong continued to smile and said, "After seeing your broken arm and Li Xuankong's head, even if she knew it was wrong to go back for help, she couldn't beat the three thousand soldiers and the fifty-odd Cold-Proof Level Soldiers. Calculating the time, Yuwen Tao should only have more than four hours left when he arrives at the Hive with the broken arm and the head..."

A dizzying feeling came over Li Tiancheng, and he instantly became listless.

It took more than four hours to rush back to Longshan from Fengchao. Normal march was impossible!

In order to speed up, Li Xuanling had to lead the army through the Daxia Tunnel.

Xia Hong's meaning was obvious. In the tunnel, Da Xia made some moves.

"I don't believe it. Xuan Ling is extremely intelligent. How could she not see through your trick? She won't lead the army through the tunnel."

"No matter how smart she is, she can't win over people's hearts. That's enough..."

Xia Hong didn't want to talk to Li Tiancheng anymore, so he just waved his hand to interrupt him, and pointed to the east side of the main building: "We will wait and see what happens to the 3,000 Longyou troops. But for now, Senior Li, please don't let Longshan suffer any more casualties, please!"

Li Tiancheng closed his eyes, stood up, and followed Xia Hong to the outer corridor on the east side of the main building.

Hou Jing's 10,000 men were still about 300 meters away from the main building, and their progress was indeed not great. But the problem was that behind them stood a golden-armored army of about 600 men.

Looking at the people on the Longshan side below, the casualties were increasing rapidly, and a trace of pity flashed in Li Tiancheng's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened his mouth and shouted to the bottom of the main building:

"Surrender! Stop resisting in vain."

Li Tiancheng's voice was obviously very recognizable in Longshan. The first ones to realize it were basically the defenders with the cultivation level of Digging Realm. They turned around and saw Li Tiancheng on top of the main building. Their faces showed loneliness and a hint of unwillingness, but in the end, they slowly put down their weapons.

Snapped……

There were already quite a few people who laid down their weapons and surrendered. Li Tiancheng's words were like a catalyst. A large number of Digging Realm warriors were the first to drop their weapons, and then more and more followed.

In the logging realm, ordinary people had even less resistance, and after just ten breaths they all dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Although there was some small-scale resistance, it only lasted less than a hundred breaths before it was wiped out by the army led by Hou Jing.

Xia Hong turned his head and looked at the huge mountain behind the west side of the main building. A hint of excitement appeared on his face and his fists clenched slightly.

Longshan has changed its owner!

"Hou Jing, you and Dong Zhong will lead 5,000 men from Zhaoyang and Dongkang to collect all the surrendered soldiers' weapons and clear out all the rebels hiding in the garrison.

Chen Yingba, you, Yu Bin, and Wu Ningyuan, lead more than 2,000 diggers from Xiling and Baiyuan to quickly repair the gap in the north wall;
Wu Tianxing, you will lead more than 3,000 digging masters from Changning, Songyuan, and Yucheng to patrol and defend the garrison. If any trouble occurs, you will be held responsible.

Liu Yuan, you assign 300 Yunjiao soldiers to Peng Bo, and you lead the remaining Yunjiao soldiers to patrol the city walls. From now on, no one can escape from the garrison, and no one can be allowed to sneak in.

Peng Bo, I will give you the three hundred Yunjiao soldiers. In addition, Hou Xing, Zhang Ying, and Kong Fan, three cold-resistant soldiers, will also be assigned to you. Select all the high-ranking officials and Li family members in Longshan one by one and lock them up in the dungeon."

"I obey my orders!"

Hou Jing and the other eleven members of the Cold-Resistant Class all bowed to Xia Hong and quickly took their people to do their own things.
