Chapter 205 Nanhai County
What kind of power would it be if thousands of arrows were launched into the air at the same time?
It's a massacre!
The brave warriors of the Longchuan Army who were charging in the front fell down in large numbers just like wheat in the fields.
The shock of the scene is beyond description in words.
The Longchuan Army was completely stunned.
Before this, wars between barbarians had never seen such a large-scale arrow formation.
There were heavy casualties.
Although the Longchuan warriors were brave and bravely charged forward under wave after wave of arrows, they were still flesh and blood, so how could they withstand such devastation?
The mighty Longchuan Army was directly cut off by a layer.
There were some lucky ones who finally rushed to the front of the coalition forces, and suddenly they saw a row of fine iron shields erected in front of the formation, and long spears shot out from the gaps and pierced into the enemy's bodies fiercely.
Blood was flowing...
There are arrows chasing your soul from behind and guns blocking your way and killing you in front of you.
It's all death.
The seemingly harmless coalition forces formation was actually full of murderous intent. In a blink of an eye, it turned into a giant meat grinder, killing the brave warriors of the Longchuan Army who rushed up one after another.
Corpses were scattered all over the ground, and blood was flowing everywhere.
But the Longchuan army was no pushover. There were brave men among them who dodged wave after wave of arrows, came to the front of the formation, cut a path through the mountains, and with their courage, they forcibly broke a hole in the armored formation.
Pave a bloody path for those who come after you.
The central army phalanx gradually became a group of enemies, with each side being first-rate elite barbarians. The war had come to this point, and there was no choice but to kill the other side with all their might.
Otherwise, you will be hacked to death by the other party.
As time went by, although the coalition archers were still delivering sustained damage, the Longchuan army still had the advantage in numbers. After they recovered, they surged forward like a tidal wave.
The central army formation led by Cangmao, Badao and others gradually couldn't hold on.
Jia Xu remained calm. When the battle was at a stalemate, he waved his feather fan and decisively gave orders , letting Xu Chu and Gao Shun lead the left and right wings to advance quickly.
Due to the limited number of troops mobilized, the six thousand Black Water Troops are all first-class elite troops.
More than half of them come from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent.
After nearly a decade of training, they have crushed the barbarian army in both individual combat power and tactical proficiency.
The two sides are not at the same level at all.
The effect of this attack was immediate.
Although the number of the armies on both wings is small, they are like two sharp blades that have been sharpened in the scabbard for ten years. Once they are unsheathed, they will reflect light everywhere and kill people with one strike.
Left wing,
Xu Chu was known for his bravery and had an extraordinary talent for physical training. In just ten years, his strength was comparable to that of a three-star warrior.
It is only a thin line away from breaking through four stars.
Right wing,
Gao Shun's individual strength may be lacking, but he has unique skills in training and leading troops. His on-the-spot command is as smooth as flowing water, and he can unite three thousand soldiers into one.
With this attack from both wings, the Longchuan Army, which had just started to show some signs of improvement, fell into trouble again.
They also have to face the continuous output of archers.
It's really bitter.
As time passed, the Longchuan Army, which suffered a series of setbacks, gradually lost its initial bravery.
The downward trend is obvious.
On the contrary, the coalition forces, under the command of Jia Xu, first attacked from both sides, and then the central army formation gradually stabilized the rhythm.
They began to slowly encircle and kill the enemy soldiers who had entered the formation.
Victory is in sight.
…
"Good, good kill!"
Those malicious onlookers in the distance were all delighted.
Seeing that the Chu Ting coalition forces were about to fight the Longchuan tribe to a mutual defeat, it was really the best outcome. They could just happen to be "while the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains".
Some people are already quietly forming an alliance.
…
"How come?"
Ao Lie, who was still fighting with Qin Mo, couldn't help but be distracted when he saw the situation on the field take a sharp turn for the worse.
When masters fight, a slight negligence can be fatal.
What’s more, it’s distraction?
"court death!"
Qin Mo immediately seized the opportunity and shook the Demonic Spear in his hand, turning it into gun shadows all over the sky.
"Ah~~"
Suddenly, a phoenix cry was heard in the sky.
But the Heavenly Demon Spear in Qin Mo's hand instantly transformed into a flaming phoenix and swooped straight towards Ao Lie.
Ultimate move - Phoenix attack!
Ao Lie was shocked and hurriedly used his secret method to summon a black dragon.
However, it was too hasty. The black dragon had just taken shape when it was burned to ashes by the fire phoenix, but it continued to move forward and swooped down towards Ao Lie.
Ao Lie's body immediately caught fire.
Very embarrassing.
And this was just the beginning. Once Qin Mo launched an attack, his offensive was continuous. He poked and shook the Demon Spear, and took advantage of Ao Lie's unpreparedness to knock Ao Lie's spear away.
This time,
Ao Lie completely turned into a dragon without claws.
As the Heavenly Demon Spear shook, the spear shadow swayed and stabbed out repeatedly, without hesitation, it pierced several large holes in Ao Lie's body, and blood flowed out.
"ah!!!"
Ao Lie was unwilling, but he had no choice but to cancel the transformation and return to his original state.
Qin Mo stepped down and directly stepped Ao Lie into the mud. He pointed his spear forward and said condescendingly, "Tell your people to surrender immediately."
"You, you won't kill me?"
Ao Lie’s head popped out of the pit, his face full of surprise.
According to the rules of the Golden Clan's struggle for supremacy, at the end of the fight, only one tribe can survive.
Qin Mo smiled and said, "It's just a small place like Nanyue, there's no need for me to start a war like this. As long as you are willing to surrender, you can naturally give the Longchuan tribe a way out."
"Then I surrender!"
Ao Lie was very decisive. Even if not for himself, he would do it for the sake of more than 200,000 clansmen .
"very good!"
Qin Mo was very satisfied with Ao Lie's understanding.
…
Following Ao Lie's order, the Longchuan soldiers who had been fighting fiercely before, although very unwilling, had no choice but to surrender in humiliation.
Some even shed silent tears.
This defeat,
The Longchuan tribe will soon give up its century-old dominant position.
How can I not be sad?
The onlookers in the distance were shocked. "This plot is totally wrong."
Everyone's face looked gloomy.
If this situation continues, after annexing the Longchuan tribe, the coalition led by Qin Mo will only become stronger than before.
With these two powerful forces joining forces, who in South Vietnam can be their rival?
The ambitious people's dream of becoming the hegemon had not yet been fulfilled, but they suddenly woke up...
Alas!
…
Just when Qin Mo defeated the Longchuan Army and led his troops to enter Longchuan City, the Heavenly Dao prompt sounded again - "Occupy the land of Nanyue, grant the title of Earl of Nanhai, experience value +2 million points."
The reward was doubled again.
Qin Mo did not hesitate and immediately consumed 4.5 million experience points to advance his cultivation from the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, and his magic power increased by nearly one-fold.
If Qin Mo were to face Shang Jun's tight net now, he would definitely be able to escape easily.
It won't be as embarrassing as before.
Qin Mo's comprehensive strength,
He is no less than a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
The heaven grants titles, and the earl is a hurdle. The next higher rank, the marquis, requires at least three counties. In other words, after conquering Nanyue, Qin Mo still needs to conquer at least the surrounding Western Ouyue and Nanhai Kingdom.
This is not something that can be accomplished in two or three months.
As for Blackwater City's material reserves, most of them had been consumed in the previous battle, and were simply not enough to support the next larger-scale battle.
This matter needs further consideration.
…
Longchuan City.
After entering the city, Ao Lie was very considerate and took the initiative to give the leader's mansion where he lived to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo was not polite either, and announced in public with the attitude of a victor, "From now on, this mansion will be renamed the Nanhai Earl's Mansion as the highest authority in Nanyue."
The entire area of Nanyue will also be renamed Nanhai County.
Although Qin Mo had no intention of making the land of Baiyue as prosperous as the Central Plains, it was impossible for him to continue using the backward tribal alliance system of Baiyue.
In the end, we still have to take the road of counties.
With Qin Mo's current strong capital, governing a county is naturally easy. He directly sent someone to deliver a handwritten letter to Xun Yu who was in charge of Heishui City.
A week later, a group of professional officials will come to Longchuan City to assist Qin Mo in handling government affairs.
To be precise,
He should be assisting Jia Xu in handling government affairs.
Qin Mo was very rude. On the day he announced the establishment of the Earl's Mansion, he appointed Jia Xu as the Chief Secretary of the Earl's Mansion, in charge of all specific government affairs in the mansion.
He once again became a hands-off boss.
Qin Mo's main focus is still on how to build a strong army in the shortest time possible.
Lay the foundation for the next conquest.
As for the Blackwater Army, in view of the expansion of its territory, it can draw another 14,000 elite troops to come for reinforcement, making up a total of 20,000.
Going further up becomes a bit difficult.
The area around Blackwater City is not peaceful either, and requires a certain size of army to guard it.
therefore,
Qin Mo's main support is still the barbarian warriors.
In a battle outside the city, 2,000 of the 20,000 allied troops were killed and more than 1,000 were seriously injured; 6,000 of the 30,000 Longchuan troops were killed and more than 3,000 were seriously injured.
Put together, they can barely form an army of 40,000 people.
This is certainly not enough.
In view of this, Qin Mo, as the Earl of Nanhai, immediately issued the first imperial decree to all the tribes in Nanhai County, requiring each tribe to select the most elite warriors and send them to Longchuan City for training within one month.
Those who fail to arrive on time will have their entire clan exterminated!
Such a bloody imperial edict was distributed to more than a hundred tribes in Nanhai County at the fastest speed by more than two hundred knights.
At the same time, the leaders of various tribes were invited to attend Qin Mo's formal ennoblement ceremony.
