"Absurd!"
Jia Lao Si even thought he had developed hysteria as he roared out loud, finally no longer holding back and fighting with his full strength.
However, he soon realized that something was terribly wrong.
The kid’s attacks were more fierce each time, bursting out with even greater power as if there were no limits. Not only that, as time passed, his own saber technique seemed to be slowly getting decoded, and the opponent could always predict his next move with precise accuracy.
"You are at Hua Jin! And not even Great Success, just small achievement! How could you have such powerful force! Damn it, I’m done fighting!
"I can’t die, I must become a marquis in the future, to be above others!"
Jia Lao Si’s will to survive surged, unleashing unprecedented power, he desperately swung his blade to temporarily push back his opponent, but before he could escape, the silver spear would arrive at his heart again, forcing him to stop and continue the fierce battle.
So it repeated.
Every time he briefly gained some distance, he had to face even stronger attacks until he could no longer parry, his saber technique full of holes, his stance even more unstable.
"Puff!"
Jiao Long seized a moment to bite a bloody hole in his wrist.
From then on, the victor was decided!
Within five rounds, Jia Lao Si’s body was stabbed like a sieve, and finally, the Martial Soul Soul-breaking Spear pierced directly through his mouth and out the back of his head, completely ending his life.
Chen Sansi pulled out the long spear, and before the body fell, he used the Zhenyue Sword to sever his head, then leapt onto the roof to overlook the brutal fighting in the streets and alleys, shouting loudly: "Jia Youtian is dead, you all might as well surrender!"
"Mr. Si, Mr. Si is dead!"
The Red Eyebrow Army all looked up, recognizing their leader, and exclaimed as they scattered and fled.
Even though they were "energized," they were ultimately a disorganized mob.
Not to mention Chen Sansi’s men who had the Sinking Formation Death Will, even the regular soldiers of the Reserve Camp had stronger willpower. With their leader dead, the rest quickly dissipated.
Moreover, they could not be allowed to escape; if they did, there’s no telling how many more civilians of other counties would suffer their wrath.
Defeated troops are often a hundred times more dangerous than bandits!
"Kill——"

With the enemy general beheaded, the morale of the Reserve Camp skyrocketed, and the battle essentially turned into a one-sided slaughter, lasting from dawn till dusk, leaving the streets piled with bodies.
"I’m exhausted..."
Xie Sishu discarded his weapon and lay directly among the corpses, breathing deeply and heavily.
These days were simply inhuman.
Every day was either spent in the open or in desperate battles, without a moment’s rest.
The civilians of Jiankou County had also participated, but after they opened the city gates, they couldn’t help much. Now, seeing the battle over, they came out to whip the corpses, then a lot of them knelt down.
"Mr. Chen!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for saving our lives!"
"All of us here in Jiankou County bow down to you!"
"..."
"Stand up, there’s no need to kneel."
Chen Sansi was also somewhat exhausted. He raised his hand and said, "If anyone should be thanked, it should be you for desperately opening the city gates. Otherwise, taking it would have cost many lives."
Lu Shuhua looked at Mr. Jia’s head on the ground and kicked it with his foot, "General Chen, how, how did you kill him?"
"Nothing special."
Yu Song, using the Mo Blade as a cane, walked over leisurely, "You can even kill someone by hitting their meridian points. It seems I should really give up my position as Assistant General to you."
"Vice Admiral Yu, stop joking and rest well," Chen Sansi replied.
Chen Sansi also closed his eyes to rest, "After dawn, we still have to continue traveling."
[Skill: Commanding Soldiers (Small Achievement)]
[Progress: 1555/2000]
After months of fighting,
The proficiency in commanding soldiers had skyrocketed by over a thousand, but reaching great success would still take some time.
...
Yangchun Prefecture.
"General Sha! We can’t hold it anymore!"
"We only have two thousand people left!"
"No matter how many civilians we kill, they refuse to come and help us!"
"What should we do!"
"Why don’t we open the gates and surrender!"
"The people outside said, as long as we surrender, they will allow us to join West Qi Kingdom, and you, General Sha, would still be a Great General!"
"..."
"What did you say?!"
"Puchi!"
With one slash, Sha Wenlong decapitated the soldier trying to persuade him to surrender. The head flew off far, and blood gushed out like a fountain from the carotid artery, splattering everywhere.
His face ferociously twisted, he yelled at his men, "Anyone who dares to weaken the army’s spirit will end up just like him!"
"Whoosh..."
Cao Fan dropped the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade and collapsed, sitting down with a look of despair, "General, if you want to surrender, go ahead, I definitely won’t blame you."
"Princely Heir, what nonsense are you talking?!"
Sha Wenlong quickly knelt on one knee, "I, Sha Wenlong, know I am no virtuous man, but I also know gratitude and paying back kindness. Generations of my family have received the emperor’s grace, and even Young Master Yin is willing to go through fire and water for you. How could I not do the same?"
"It’s over..."
Cao Fan smiled bitterly and his expression grew numb, "We can’t hold it anymore. There’s absolutely no food left, not even horses to slaughter. The soldiers have no will to defend the city, so how can we continue?"
"Then we won’t defend!"
Sha Wenlong violently ripped off his eye mask, revealing his terrifyingly scarred blind eye, "First, we gather all the civilians inside the city and distribute weapons to them. Then, all of us will dress as civilians. Let the civilians go in front while you and I won’t follow the army but will blend with the fleeing people. Once we’re fifty miles out of the city and into the deep mountains and forests, no one will be able to find us. And don’t forget, General Lu has been fighting long enough that with his courage, he is bound to break through at Sword Gate Canyon. Then, it’ll be time for our rescue."
