Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 123: Flag Sacrifice and Forced Surrender (Please Ask for Guaranteed Monthly Ticket)
Hailing City, where the Yangtze River and the Huai River meet, is an important city in the Jiangnan region second only to Xiandu and Jiangdu. It has a long history and profound cultural heritage, but its resources, wealth, and trade exchanges are far inferior to Jiangdu City.

Hailing City, with its high and thick walls, was now densely covered with soldiers, with flags like a forest, and countless military equipment deployed. It was heavily guarded, like a major military city.

Dozens of miles outside Hailing City, the Eastern Sui Army, numbering as many as 300,000, was marching with overwhelming force and might. Their military camps stretched for dozens of miles, almost blocking the east side of Hailing City.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Four or five miles east of the city wall of Hailing, there were five legions (50,000 men) lined up, guarding two or three hundred huge war machines ranging from ten to dozens of meters in length!

There were so many war machines, almost everything. However, they were mainly catapults, while crossbow carts, thunder chariots and other straight-line attackers were just bluffs and did not explode.

There were loud roars, and most of the weapons were continuously unleashing their power. Stones ranging from several meters to dozens of meters in length, like meteorites and shooting stars, streaked across the sky and slammed into the east city wall.

Every time a stone was thrown, it sent rubble flying and the bricks of the wall cracking.

Occasionally, a few stones would hit the wall, smashing some unlucky Liang soldiers into meat paste, some of them would be blown away, and some would be smashed to pieces.

There were also many stones thrown in parabolic trajectories, hitting the city directly, causing the buildings to collapse and the people to be in chaos.

pity……

That's all!
The Liang army on the wall seemed to have gotten used to the situation before them. They all hid behind the wall, occasionally peeked out to see if the enemy outside the city was launching a large-scale attack, then hid their heads and continued... to endure the hardship!
I don’t know how long this situation lasted...

The towering city walls were riddled with holes and cracks, and even the tops of the walls were in a mess. Half of the parapets had been smashed, and there was blood and blood cocoons everywhere.

The Shangliang army in Hailing City was obviously determined to defend the city to the death, and the Sui army outside the city could only sigh in despair.

It’s not that the Sui army couldn’t attack the city forcefully, but the casualties from a strong attack were too great, which was obviously not cost-effective, so they used war machines to harass and intimidate the city continuously!
……

The sun rose in the sky, and the sunlight shone everywhere, making the bloody smell in Hailing City even more intense, adding to the flavor of war.

Amidst the roaring of war machines, dozens of figures streaked across the sky, descending towards the vast Sui army camp...

"Your Majesty!"

"See the General!"

As soon as Xiao Ying and others arrived, the guards, military attendants and patrol soldiers greeted them with excitement, anticipation and admiration.

The news of the battle in the south has been reported. King Jingwu led only 170,000 troops and achieved immediate success, defeating and subduing the Southern Liang Army, which was said to have a million troops. Not only did he become famous throughout the world, but he also greatly won the hearts of his own people and soldiers!
"Greetings to the Prince (General)!"

Xiao Ying and others stopped above the military camp for a moment, then identified the main tent and headed straight for it.

The generals of the Eastern Route Sui Army, led by the Minister of War and Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Route, Mrs. Ronghua Cai Shuilan, took the initiative to come out of the tent to greet them and pay their respects.

"Are you all ready?"

Xiao Ying didn't say much politely. He nodded to the generals and then looked at Madam Ronghua and asked directly.

Madam Ronghua's expression changed, she sighed secretly, and replied in a heavy tone:
"Fifty thousand death squads have been selected and are ready to go..."

"Let's get started!" Xiao Ying understood Madam Ronghua's thoughts, but he didn't have time to sigh and lament, so he gave the order directly.

The current status of the Star Soul in the Blood Demon Map is:
Main deities: 6 (Wang Tong, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Yuchi Gong, Yang Guang, Chen Shushen)

Deputy Gods: 1,083

Little God: 18,283 people

Mao Shen: 43,372 people

Blood Star: About 440,000!
Since the Jiangdu Rebellion, although the Southern Sui Army had won a great victory on the banks of the Tianjiang River, they had not obtained many Star Souls, especially high-quality Star Souls.

Madam Ronghua and other generals also knew that time was precious, so they responded readily without saying much and took action quickly with different expressions!
The number of Sui troops in the east was as high as 330,000. It was not difficult to select 50,000 loyal, brave and good fighters.

But they are not a minority after all, and with enough time they can become elite soldiers. If they want to attack the city with all their might, it is impossible not to be nervous, and they all have different thoughts!
Where there is war, there are casualties!

This is the best solution we can come up with!

"Don't worry! As long as the casualties reach one-third... one-fourth, we can sound the gong and withdraw. The casualties are not as great as we imagined! With luck, we can succeed in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Ying didn't have time to explain further, but everyone saw what he was thinking, so he still said something soothing and encouraging!
……

After a while...

The roaring war machines stopped, and the Sui army poured out of the camp like a tide and rushed towards Hailing City.

Such a big move instantly attracted the attention of the Shangliang army and caused a commotion. Even Shangliang King Shen Faxing quickly went to the east city wall!

"Shang Liang Wang, save me..."

Xiao Ying and other latecomers did not show up, but led by Madam Ronghua and other eastern generals, they brought a man and a woman to the front of the battle.

They were Shen Manxuan and Shen Lun, the daughters of King Shangliang, and Wenren Yun, the son of the great bandit Wenren Suian.

It is obvious that the Sui army wanted to use the two as hostages to force or persuade the Shangliang army to surrender.

The two of them hadn't suffered any abuse in the past few days, and they were still dressed in fine clothes and looked bright and handsome.

Shen Manxuan was fine, her spirits drooping but she didn't react. Wen Renyun, however, was pale. Under the control of the military attendant, he struggled fiercely and shouted loudly, his voice carrying for miles...

At such a short distance, even if Wen Renyun didn't roar hysterically, Shen Faxing and others on the wall would still be able to hear it if they were paying attention.

"King Shangliang! I believe you and the Shangliang generals are well aware of the current situation. The Fengming Army and the Jianghuai Army have reached an agreement with our army to stop midway. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Shangliang Army will be destroyed in this battle..."

Mrs. Ronghua Cai Shuilan was wearing female armor, which made her look quite heroic, but she was still noble, dignified and beautiful. She ignored the two embarrassed captives, and looked directly at Shen Faxing who appeared in the distance with her beautiful eyes, and kept saying "luck".

After she finished speaking, Madam Ronghua deliberately paused, and her voice echoed between the enemy and us, giving Shen Faxing and Shangliangjun some time to digest!
"Now that the Southern Liang Army has been destroyed and surrendered without a fight, there's no hope for the Shang Liang Army. Whether it's our army, the Fengming Army, or the Jianghuai Army, none of them will let them go. Our army is the orthodox under heaven, and we treat prisoners and civilians well. If you refuse to surrender, are you willing to wait for death..."

"If you don't surrender, our army will sacrifice these two men and then attack the city with all our might!"

The voice is pleasant to the ears, but the words are cold and cruel, which makes people's heart palpitate!
The strong men who were escorting the two men quickly put their knives to their necks, as if as long as Shen Faxing refused to surrender, he would be beheaded and sacrificed immediately!
Wenren Yun struggled violently, his face was pale and he looked terrified.

Shen Manxuan smiled bitterly, and looked into the distance quietly without making any movement...the east city wall!

"Father! You must save my sister..."

Shen Lun, the son of Prince Shangliang, a famous general in history and a genius of his generation, couldn't help but look at Shen Faxing and shouted.

"Prince Shangliang...think twice before you act!"

Among the many generals around Shen Faxing, a rather unfamiliar general spoke up to remind him.

Shen Manxuan is fine, but Wenren Yun is the only son of the great bandit Wenren Suian...
