The night was deep, and Jiujiang County City, which sat by the river, was as huge as a giant beast entrenched in the night.
This ancient city, located at the mouth of the three rivers, the main road of the seven provinces, and the most prominent place in the world, welcomed the attack of the army.
"Men!"
"Is there any news from the Embroidered Uniform Guards?"
Xu Zhiling stared coldly at Jiujiang County City and asked.
"Reporting, Young Master Ling."
"Sima Feng, the Thousand Households of Jiujiang, has sent a message using a flying slave. The Embroidered Uniform Guards are seizing the city gates to open a passage for our army.”
The accompanying cavalrymen immediately reported.
At this moment, a group of people wearing goose hats and flying fish robes and embroidered spring sabers walked through the streets and alleys of Jiujiang County City under the cover of night. They quickly approached the city gate. The figure in the lead was obviously not weaker than a first-rate peak expert.
Over the past few days, all the Blood Pills and Tiger and Wolf Pills in Kuo Zhong's hands had been distributed to the Brocade Guard. He had trained no less than a hundred top-notch experts and arranged them to serve as thousands of households in various counties, thus supporting the Brocade Guard.
The standard configuration of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was the peak of the Thousand Households, the Deputy Thousand Households, and the Hundred Households.
"Who is it?"
The soldiers guarding the city gate sensed the movement and questioned the night.
However, what greeted him was an extremely sharp saber light.
The Embroidered Spring Saber was unsheathed. With a slash, blood splattered everywhere, and the soldier's corpse fell to the ground.
"Kill!"
Sima Feng led the charge towards the city gates.
More than a hundred Brocade Guards behind him pounced at the soldiers guarding the city gate at the same time.
For a moment, saber light flashed, and blood shadows soared into the sky. Wails and screams continued to ring out, breaking the silence of Jiujiang County in the night.
"Creak!"
A moment later.
The city gate slowly lowered and was placed on the moat, revealing the wide street inside.
"Brothers, enter the city!"
Seeing this, Xu Zhiling's true energy surged. He stepped into the void and appeared in the city in an instant with the Frost Sword in his hand.
The 15,000 generals were filled with joy. Their eyes were filled with blazing flames as they charged into Jiujiang County.
Sima Feng immediately went up to him.""Young Master Ling, Cao Shiqi's mansion is in the center of the city.”
"Yes."
Slightly nodding his head, Xu Zhiling waved his hand."Gui Xiliang."
"Immediately lead your troops to attack the barracks and treasuries. Light soldiers will follow me to kill Cao Shiqi.”
"Yes!"
Jiujiang Zhonglang, Gui Xiliang, responded.
Apart from a light battalion, twelve thousand soldiers marched in unison towards the military camp in the city.
That night, the sound of footsteps echoed throughout the city. When the rebel army in the barracks finally reacted, what awaited them was a steel defense line formed by 6,000 spears at the entrance. 3,000 archers kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows to kill the soldiers who wanted to resist. 3,000 rattan light soldiers held horizontal sabers and guarded the archers on both sides, not giving any enemy a chance to sneak attack.
Such a strict army formation was even stronger than the Sui army. How could the rebel army, which was in chaos, be a match for them?
In less than an hour, some of the 30,000 rebel soldiers died, and the rest all knelt down and surrendered.
Cao Shiqi, who was in the Prefectural Governor's Mansion in the center of the city, heard the battle cries. He stood up from his gentle place, carried a spiked club that was taller than a man, and rushed out of the mansion.
"Hiss!"
When he saw the 3,000 light soldiers surrounding County Governor Manor, he could not help but gasp.
The rule of the major general's army was to select the strongest among the light soldiers. Almost all of them were martial artists, and the weakest among the three thousand was a third-rate expert. Their auras gathered together, like wolves and tigers, and how ferocious they were.
"I, Xu Zhiling, give you two choices.”
"Either kneel and surrender, or die!”
Expressionless, Xu Zhiling looked at Cao Shiqi and said coldly.
"Bastard!"
"Don't even think about it!"
When Cao Shiqi heard these words, his anger rose. No matter what, he was one of the rebellious kings in the world. How could he be insulted like this?
His cultivation base at Zongshi realm primary stage was fully unleashed. He waved the spiked club in his hand and set off a huge storm.
Crash!
The surrounding buildings were shaken by the violent Cao Shiqi, tiles flew everywhere, and the ground trembled.
The 3,000 light soldiers stood still, not moving at all.
"Humph!"
"Ant, you don't know what's good for you!"
Xu Zhiling's eyes narrowed slightly, and a biting cold killing intent flickered in his long and narrow eyes.
Having been by Kuo Zhong's side for a long time, his drifting and indifferent temperament had gradually been tainted with a trace of cruelty and tyranny.
In the next moment.
Xu Zhiling pulled out the Frost Sword and poured his Extreme Yang True Qi into the sword.
A blue light instantly rose in the dark night. The Soaring Frost Sword was as cold as the ice of the Nine Nether, causing people to feel a chill all over their bodies.
"Sword Eighteen!"
In an instant.
Xu Zhiling brandished the Icy Frost Sword, and piercingly cold sword Qi that covered the sky and earth shot out. It was endless, and it converged into a sword net.
Everything in the surroundings was destroyed by the biting cold sword qi. The ground seemed to have been ravaged, and it was in a mess.
Cao Shiqi, who was trapped in the sword net, let out a miserable scream,""Ah!"
Within a breath, the infamous rebel king of the Left of the River was cut into countless pieces of flesh. His blood turned into ice cubes and froze on the ground.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped from midsummer to winter, making people shudder!
This was the might of Xu Zhiling, who was at the intermediate stage of Zongshi realm!!!
"Sima Feng!"
"I'll leave the light barracks to you."
"Immediately wipe out the aristocratic families in the three counties of Jiujiang County. Those who commit crimes and commit crimes will be killed without mercy!”
"Announce to the entire county that the commoners can get one mu of fertile land and ten catties of grain seeds.”
"All the slaves of the aristocratic families will be released and registered as good citizens.”
"Let's see how much grain the prefecture has in reserve. A poor commoner can borrow no more than 300 catties of grain from the prefecture, and they can repay it next year.”
After entering County Governor Manor, Xu Zhiling issued several orders in succession.
These were the strategies that the marshal had implemented in Poyang Prefecture. They had destroyed the enemy aristocratic families, released the slaves, and divided the land. In just three steps, they had won the support and recognition of all the people. The people all regarded the twin dragons as gods and supported the marshal's army.
"Yes."
Sima Feng immediately led 3,000 light soldiers to various places in the county to kill the enemy families.
Fortunately, the three counties of Jiujiang, Ruicheng, Jiujiang, and De 'an, weren't far from each other, so they cleared the entire county in one night.
Blood dyed the shore of Pengli Ze red, but in its place were over ten thousand slaves released from Jiujiang. The number of civilians increased to sixty thousand, and every household cheered for the marshal's army. Many youths wanted to join the marshal's army.
At the same time, the names of Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling spread rapidly in Jiujiang County. The Humble Class disciples joined the county government and served the young marshal's army.
When the nearby counties heard of the actions of the marshal's army, they were all terrified and did not dare to go against the marshal's army.
Especially in the nearby Yuzhang County, they were extremely jittery. They gathered at least 100,000 troops and stationed them everywhere, afraid that the Marshal's army would attack.
