Chapter 180 Taking Nanyang Directly
Nanjiang Jingzhou.

The second largest city, Nanjiang City.

Outside the city, an elite army ushered in.

It was the Killing God Army led by Bai Qi, an army of 20 men, that arrived outside Nanjiang City with great force.

Since King Nanjing surrendered to Qin Yuan and gave an order to surrender to Qin Yuan's army, no resistance was allowed.

Bai Qi didn't encounter any big obstacles along the way. He basically collected cities and people as he saw them.

In just a few days, they came to Nanjiang City.

At this time, the gate of Nanjiang City was wide open, and the people came in and out normally, while dozens of Nanjiang City officials stood beside them.

When he saw Bai Qi's army, he took the initiative to meet him.

"There's no need for a banquet. Take me to the military camp and leave all arrangements for Nanjiang City's defenses to me."

Bai Qi said directly, without any doubt.

"Yes, General."

The leading officials nodded repeatedly.

There are nearly a hundred thousand troops in Nanjiang City, and the leader of the army is a descendant of the Nanjing King.

Although their army personnel are extremely unwilling, even if they die in battle, they are unwilling to surrender to the enemy.

But there was no way, the order came from above, and the King of Nanjing personally gave the order, so they had no choice but to cooperate.

Bai Qi quickly gathered the [-] troops from Nanjiang City.

However, the original organizational system was still maintained, and no major changes were made.

Bai Qi served as the new commander-in-chief, and replaced several important general positions, and handed over the defense of Nanjiang City to the Killing God Army.

Afterwards, Bai Qi left 15 soldiers to kill the gods, and took the remaining [-] troops to Jingzhou City.

These [-] killing gods are responsible for all affairs of Nanjiang City.

Of course, the biggest task is to guard against the surrender of the Jingzhou Army.

After all, whether it is surrendering troops or surrendering the complete organization, if you want to become one of your own, it cannot be changed in a short while, it will take a certain amount of time.

Among them, King Nanjing still needs to play some role.

It's just that the war is very urgent now, so we can only give special treatment at a special time.

All in all, the enemy's surrender was a good thing for Qin Yuan. It saved a lot of trouble and time, and allowed Qin Yuan to quickly take over and manage Nanjiang Jingzhou.

In addition to Bai Qi, Meng Tian, ​​Zhao Yun, Li Xin, and Ma Chao led the legions, and each took down one or two county mansions.

At this point, all the territory that originally belonged to King Nanjing fell into Qin Yuan's hands.

However, nearly one-third of the territory was occupied by other princes.

Among them, the one who invaded the most was Li Deyi from Tianwu Prefecture, and the second one was the Zhunan Alliance in Nanhuang Yuezhou.

Finally, there is another important city, which is also under the control of the aristocratic family.

Moreover, the distance from Jingzhou City is not too far.

Even, it doesn't take a day to walk back and forth.

This city is known as Nanyang City, the cradle of southern families.

Since ancient times, it has been a city of outstanding people. Many famous families and aristocratic families are from Nanyang City.

Today's Nanyang City also gathers many aristocratic families.

Even, in order to suppress King Nanjing, some aristocratic families moved back to Nanyang City.

Nanyang City even far surpassed Jingzhou City in terms of the power of the aristocratic family.

"King Qin, there are eight great families in Nanyang City, all of which are well-known. At the same time, the number of famous families is at least fifty. It can be said that the influence of the entire Nanyang City is not weaker than that of Jingzhou City."

In the City Lord's Mansion of Jingzhou City, King Nanjing said to Qin Yuan who was seated above.

King Nanjing already hated Nanyang City deeply.

It's a pity that no matter what methods the King of Southern Jing uses, he can't match him, let alone get rid of him.

Nanyang City is located in Jingzhou, Nanjiang. It can be said to be a special case. It is outside the rule of King Nanjing and has a unique set of governance methods.

Even, behind it are not only the eight great families of Nanyang, but also the power of the families of the entire land of Shenzhou.

In other words, Nanyang City is the representative of the Taishan Covenant in the secular world. It is conceivable how huge the power of Nanyang City is.

King Nanjing has been in power for several decades, but he has not wiped out the threat of Nanyang City.

However, this question now falls on Qin Yuan's shoulders.

"It's just a Nanyang city, if you don't know how to do it, then kill it."

Qin Yuan said coldly, looked at Zhuge Mo who was fidgeting beside him, and asked. "My king's letter has been sent to Nanyang for many days, asking them to open the city and surrender. Is there any reply?"

"Lord, I haven't received a reply yet."

Zhuge Mo said uneasily.

Nanyang Zhuge family is one of the eight great families in Nanyang.

This time, Zhuge Mo sent two letters to Nanyang City, one was directed to the entire Nanyang City, asking them to surrender on behalf of Qin Yuan, and the other was his own personal letter, written to the Zhuge family.

It's just that the two letters were like sinking into the sea, without any news.

Even if it is Zhuge's family, there is no reply.

If the situation was normal, the Zhuge family had already placed their bets on Qin Yuan, and even valued Qin Yuan very much. Even if they objected to the surrender of the forces in Nanyang City, it would not be impossible for them not to reply without any news.

No news doesn't mean good news.

This time, Zhuge's family may hardly avoid making a major decision.

Whether to choose to continue to stand on the side of the family's power, or to choose to fall into Qin Yuan's arms.

"Two days ago, the team led by Yuan Ao arrived at Nanyang City, and on the same day, Nanyang City opened a city defense formation and blocked contact with the outside world."

The King of Nanjing said sarcastically, "It seems that they have no intention of surrendering at all, they are preparing to fight Qin Yuan to the death, and if the nail in Nanyang City is not removed, when King Qin is fighting with other princes, he will suddenly leave the city, I'm afraid it will lead to instability in the rear of Nanjiang Jingzhou. In war, this is a big taboo. Another point is that the military strength of Nanyang City is at least more than [-]. It has been carefully cultivated by major families over the years, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. You can compete with the most elite Jingzhou Legion under my command."

"Nanyang City is indeed a huge hidden danger. Don't worry, this king will not let the enemy's nails remain on his own territory."

Qin Yuan said lightly.

It seems that King Nanjing's hatred for Nanyang City is quite high.

However, no matter what the reason is, Qin Yuan will not let Nanyang City go, and must completely regain it.

As for King Nanjing, he kept his promise very much and cooperated with Qin Yuan very much. This allowed Qin Yuan to win most of the territory of Jingzhou in Nanjiang in just a few days.

At this time, Qin Yuan's luck value increased to more than 5 points.

You know, Qin Yuan only occupies two-thirds of Nanjiang Jingzhou today.

Jingzhou City alone provided Qin Yuan with fifteen thousand points of luck, which was about half more than any other city Qin Yuan had ever occupied.

Of course, in terms of scale, Jingzhou City is much larger than Liangzhou City and Yizhou City, and has a much larger population. After all, it is the most affluent city in the south.

"Then it will be scheduled for tomorrow, and the army will march into Nanyang City."

Qin Yuan said seriously.

This is also the ultimatum given by Qin Yuan.

If the time is missed, Qin Yuan will not give anyone another chance when the army arrives at Nanyang City.

Even the Zhuge family where Zhugemo belongs is the same.

Even if the clan is not exterminated, it will at least cause a lot of blood. If you stand on the wrong team, you will naturally have to bear the corresponding price.

As for whether they were voluntary or not, Qin Yuan didn't care so much.

Zhuge Mo, who was below, left the City Lord's Mansion in a daze, came to a property belonging to Zhuge's family in the city, and ordered his servants to send a message to Nanyang City.

What Qin Yuan said was never taken back.

At that time, it would be fine if Nanyang City was taken easily. Zhuge's family took the initiative to claim their ministers. Coupled with the hard work and hard work of Zhugemo and other family members over the years, Qin Yuan would not be able to pursue it any longer.

If Qin Yuan paid a heavy price for attacking Nanyang City, I am afraid that no one's words will be used. At that time, it is inevitable that the eight great families of Nanyang will be wiped out.

As for Qin Yuan not daring to exterminate the family because of the influence of the family?That's a complete joke.

Qin Yuan killed many innate experts, no less than ten.

For Qin Yuan, the current aristocratic family is no different from an ordinary family.

There is no doubt that it is just a matter of ant size.

On the same day, the killing god army led by Bai Qi arrived in Jingzhou City.

Late at night, the Yulong Legion led by Zhao Yun and the Xuanyong Legion led by Meng Tian entered Jingzhou City.

The next day, early in the morning.

An elite army wearing heavy armor and holding sharp knives set off from the barracks, left Jingzhou City, and directed their swords towards Yangcheng.

In Nanyang City.

People from the eight great families in Nanyang gathered together, and there were hundreds of people gathered in the entire hall.

In addition, there is a team led by Yuan Ao, with a total of five innate warriors.

There were two other people sitting side by side with them, one of them was Zhuge Hui, who was silent and frowning.

Originally, among the eight great aristocratic families in Nanyang, there were three ancestors at the innate level.

But now there are only two left.

One of them was Li Fu in Jingzhou City, the unlucky guy who was killed by Qin Yuan's punch without even reporting his name.

The current hall is like a vegetable market, noisy and noisy, and the sounds are drowned out one after another.

Among them, the most quarrelsome one belongs to Li's family in Nanyang.

Their ancestor died in Jingzhou City. If everyone present had the highest hatred for Qin Yuan, they would belong to the Li family.

At the same time, the Li family is also a strong supporter of the main battle.

The meeting was held all day and one night, and it was about the invasion of Qin Yuan's army, whether it was the main battle, the main avoidance, or the main surrender.

Of course, there are basically no one who surrendered.

Perhaps, the Zhuge family wanted to do this, but they didn't dare to speak out.

If he declares his surrender at this moment, without the arrival of Qin Yuan's army, he may be detained as a traitor of the family and be exterminated.

The main way to avoid it is naturally to use the large defensive formation to avoid a direct conflict with Qin Yuan.

However, this approach also has risks.

After all, Qin Yuan broke the defensive formation inherited from the Xuanbing Sword Sect. Although the power of the city protection formation is stronger than it, its scope covers the entire city. Not every place can resist the innate defense formation. Attack of the strong.

In addition, Qin Yuan's General Meng Tian is also a master of formations, and he has a deep knowledge of formations, so the city defense formation may not be able to really stop it.

In the main battle, it would be even more simple, directly fighting for life and death with Qin Yuan's army.

In Nanyang City, there are eight aristocratic families alone, and there are at least a hundred famous families.

As for the innate powerhouses, including Yuan Ao and the other five, there are seven of them.

As for the army, there are 10 elite soldiers and generals, and there are at least 5 private soldiers from each family.

The fortifications of the city are not much better than that of Jingzhou City.

There is also a city defense formation as a defense. If Qin Yuan's side wants to attack by force, they may not really be able to win.

Even if Qin Yuan captured Liangzhou City forcefully before, took down Nine Gorges Peak, and incorporated Jingzhou City, even if Qin Yuan's army was known as the invincible elite.

However, the aristocratic family also gathered a group of top forces and elite troops in the world.

They had never actually fought against Qin Yuan's army, but based on some news analysis, the vast majority of people believed that their side was not much weaker than Qin Yuan's.

After all, throughout the ages, hundreds or even thousands of years, the entire land of China has been ruled by aristocratic families.

Even the emperor must take into account the attitudes of wealthy families.

Over time, the aristocratic family has also developed to monopolize the upper class and guide the country, acting like the first emperor in the world and the second.

"Fight or avoid, there is actually no conflict. If Qin Yuan really dares to attack, we will definitely make him pay a certain price if we join forces. But to be on the safe side, we must be fully prepared. If we are defeated, we must defend Nanyang city."

Fang Ruilin, one of the only two remaining ancestors in Nanyang, stood up and said to everyone.

Now, he is the only person to preside over the overall situation.

In the past, such a big thing would have been done by either Zhuge Hui or Li Fu, who was more senior than him.

It is a pity that Li Fu has already sacrificed and died in Jingzhou City.

And Zhuge Hui, because his relationship with Qin Yuan is too close, so in this special period, he is not suitable to be the person to preside over the overall situation.

As an aristocratic family, the Zhuge family has also been in business for hundreds of thousands of years. The family power is intricate.

Especially families like theirs, in order to maintain family inheritance and status, often marry with other families.

Over time, although they were divided into aristocratic families on the surface, they were actually related by blood, more or less.

"Then follow what Fang Lao said."

Others echoed one by one.

Not long after, news came that Qin Yuan's army was approaching Nanyang City.

In the originally noisy hall, a needle drop can be heard in an instant.

Even the breathing of many people couldn't help but aggravate.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Even the people who disdained Qin Yuan just now, and those who claimed to blow Qin Yuan's dog's head, stopped speaking at this moment, and their faces became very dignified.

Although Qin Yuan was young, he was younger than everyone present.

However, since Qin Yuan was born, he has been invincible and invincible.

From a small famous family, he grew up to be the current Great Qin King. He owns the land of four states, is an enemy of the entire family of the world, and even beheaded more than a dozen innate powerhouses. The record is more and more amazing.

Now that the troops are approaching Nanyang City, if they say there is no pressure, they would be completely deceiving themselves.

Especially the ancestors of the seven innate level strategies in the field, each of them looked very ugly.

Because, among Qin Yuan's enemies, those with the highest death rate were members of the Taishan Covenant.

After fighting Qin Yuan, there are only a handful of people who can survive.

As for the family below, if they are willing to give up all costs, there is also a small chance of surviving.

As for the soldiers of the army, as long as they don't die, surrender after the war, have no major faults or sins, and are recruited by Qin Yuan, the chance of surviving is very high.

"The matter has come to this, Nanyang City has no way out."

Yuan Ao said to everyone, "Don't forget, behind us is the power of the entire Shenzhou family. Together, even the dynasty can be overthrown. What's the fear of a little Qin Yuan? The so-called King Qin? I think it's just a joke. !"

Yuan Ao boosted his morale. In the face of a big enemy, what he fears most is his own side, who will lose his position and be cowardly without fighting.

Then, if this battle is not fought, it will already lose three points.
