Tang Zhong also felt the aura of the Breaking River experts leaving. His face turned ashen. He was very clear that the departure of the Breaking River experts meant that they were finished.
Tang Zhong's thoughts weren't wrong. With the departure of the Breaking River experts, Zhao Hai's last bit of worry disappeared. He immediately strengthened his attack. He even put away the lightning formation and took out weapons to kill Tang Zhong and the others.
All of the weapons used by the Sky Dance Realm experts were simple artifacts. Such weapons were already very powerful in the world of Spirit Weapons.
Tang Zhong and the others died one by one. Besides the 50 Sky Dance Realm experts who fled in advance, the other Sky Dance Realm experts were all killed by Zhao Hai.
Tang Zhong also died in the end. He didn't run away, he didn't run away from the beginning. He fought until the very end. In the end, Zhao Hai personally dealt with him. When Tang Zhong died, he looked at Zhao Hai without any hatred. On the contrary, there was a trace of a smile in his eyes.
Zhao Hai was very clear about the meaning in Tang Zhong's eyes. Tang Zhong was thanking Zhao Hai, thanking Zhao Hai for helping him. Tang Zhong was a proud person, and this defeat had completely shattered his pride. He didn't want to go back and look at those people's faces. Therefore, he would rather die in battle.
For a person like him, if he were to die in the hands of others, they wouldn't be reconciled. Therefore, Zhao Hai personally took action. When he saw Zhao Hai personally take action, Tang Zhong's face finally had a trace of relief. This was because he died in the hands of the enemy he admired. For a General, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
As for the others, Zhao Hai didn't care about them. Only for Tang Zhong, Zhao Hai had people bury him. Although it couldn't be said to be a grand burial, at least Tang Zhong had a coffin and a tombstone.
Tang Zhong's death also represented the end of the battle. In fact, the battle below had already ended. Many soldiers of the Sacred Academy found out that they couldn't escape, so they chose to surrender. This was also the norm in the Spiritual Weapon Realm. This was because there were too many battles here. If all the soldiers fought to the last moment, then there would be no one left in the Spiritual Weapon Realm. Because of this, after every battle, there would always be a lot of soldiers who would surrender. And these soldiers who surrendered might be ransomed by their city-states with money. They might be treated as prisoners of war for a few years, or they might become soldiers of a new city-state. Therefore, it wasn't strange for these soldiers to surrender.
Zhao Hai calmly took control of these soldiers. These soldiers didn't think about resisting or running away. This was because there was no need to do so. In the Spiritual Weapon Realm, it was impossible to kill prisoners of war. This was because these soldiers could be turned into money. However, one must know that only living soldiers could be turned into money. Nobody would want dead soldiers. Because of this, no one would kill prisoners of war.
After dealing with all the prisoners, Zhao Hai and the others set off towards Nanhua Gate. Behind them was an army that had already taken over the cities. They were also here to provide support.
Before long, Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the foot of Zhuhua Mountain. They set up camp at the place where Nineteen and the others had set up camp. They were waiting for the army to arrive. At this time, the prisoners of war were also useful. Naturally, the work of building the camp was handed over to them.
The garrison of Nanhua Gate had already received the news of their army's defeat. Therefore, when Zhao Hai and the others arrived at Zhuhua Mountain, the garrison of Nanhua Gate immediately panicked. They didn't have the calmness that they had when Nineteen and the others arrived.
Zhao Hai stood outside the camp and looked at Nanhua Gate. Then he said, "It's really a good place. As long as there's water and food, an army of several tens of thousands can stop an army of several hundred thousand. It's really good."
The generals beside Zhao Hai had complicated expressions on their faces as they looked at South Flower Gate. The last time they came to South Flower Gate, they were also in high spirits. But in the end, they escaped because they failed. This time, they came here again, and in such a short time. They didn't know what would happen to them this time.
Zhao Hai looked at the others and smiled faintly, "Everyone, what do you want to do? How can we take Nanhua Gate? " When they heard Zhao Hai, the other generals looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know what to say. This was because Year 19 had been asking this question the entire time. They had thought of countless ways to solve this problem, but in the end, all of them failed. Now that they were asked how to attack Nanhua Gate, they really didn't know what to say.
Zhao Hai looked at them and laughed, "What's wrong? After failing at Nanhua Gate, you think that it's invincible? Let's go back to the camp and discuss. When the reinforcements arrive, we can attack. "Then he turned his horse around and led the others back to the camp.
When they arrived at the camp, Zhao Hai had all the generals stay behind. Then he sent someone to look for the person in charge of reconnaissance. This person was Liu Hong. At this time, Zhao Hai had a Sky Dance Expert squad, and this squad was under the command of Liu Hong.
In the past, Liu Hong was just an ordinary Sky Dance Realm expert. He came from a small family. For his family to have a Sky Dance Realm expert like him was already a blessing. Moreover, Liu Hong's strength could only be said to be average. There was nothing too outstanding about him. He was just a bit faster and was a bit more attentive. In the end, he was chosen for them to scout.
But unexpectedly, Liu Hong was very talented in this aspect. Because of this, Zhao Hai made him the captain of this scouting squad. For this reason, Liu Hong was very grateful to Zhao Hai.
After Liu Hong came in, Zhao Hai had him sit down. After everyone was seated, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "Nanhua City-State is our target. It's not because it's special that we have to take it, but because we failed last time. Because of this, we have to take it. If we can't take Nanhua City-State, then everyone will have a knot in their hearts. If we don't get rid of this knot, then we won't be able to make any progress in our cultivation in the future. Moreover, this will also have a huge impact on everyone's ability to command. Because of this, Nanhua City-State must be taken!"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, then they nodded. At the same time, they were even more grateful to Zhao Hai. This was because Zhao Hai did this for them. One must know that the failure last time had nothing to do with Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai could've just attacked Nanhua City-State in another place. But in the end, he still did it. This made them feel very grateful.
Actually, Zhao Hai didn't attack Nanhua City-State for them. Instead, it was because this was the best time to attack Nanhua City-State. Tang Zhong's defeat had a huge impact on Nanhua City-State's morale. Attacking Nanhua City-State at this time would be twice the result with half the effort. Zhao Hai didn't need to waste time attacking other city-states.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Next, I'll talk about how to attack Nanhua Gate. This is because we don't understand the layout of Nanhua Gate. If we attack like this, it would be like playing with the lives of our soldiers. The reason why Year 19 was defeated was because he didn't take war seriously. He thought that because he had an army of several hundred thousand, he could ignore the enemy. Maybe he thought that he could easily crush the enemy with his army, but in fact, that was impossible. So in the end, he lost. What we need to do now is to do reconnaissance. Once we do that and understand the enemy, then we can eliminate them. Therefore, everyone's main task is to build siege weapons, train the soldiers, and reinforce the camp. There's no need to rush the attack, we have plenty of time to do that."
Everyone nodded, then Zhao turned to Liu Hong and said, "Liu Hong, I'll leave the scouting to you. I have two requirements for you. First, you have to scout at night. It's best not to let the enemy find you, the more hidden the better. Second, you have to focus on a few areas. First, where the enemy's provisions are, second, where the enemy's water source is, and third, where the enemy's bedding is. You must pay attention to these three days, and the rest is how many troops there are in the city. Understood?"
Liu Hong stood up and cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Yes, Alliance Lord can rest assured. I'll definitely find out the details of the enemy."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, but don't just pay attention to Nanhua Gate. Pay attention to the terrain around Nanhua Gate. It would be best if you can make a sand table for me. Moreover, the finer the sand table, the better. Understood?"
Liu Hong replied, "Alliance Lord can rest assured. I'll make sure it's done well."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the others and said, "Alright, let's go back. Reinforce the camp, expand it, and don't stop the ground reconnaissance. We need to use ground reconnaissance to provide cover for Liu Hong and the others. We need to make Zhida think that we are always on the ground. Of course, this reconnaissance isn't just for show. We need to draw a map and verify it with Liu Hong's sand table. After all, they usually do their reconnaissance at night. At night, aside from Nanhua Gate, there isn't much light in other places. I'm afraid that they wouldn't be able to find anything. Therefore, we still need to rely on ground reconnaissance to cover the situation around Nanhua Gate, understood?"
Do you understand? "Everyone responded in unison. Zhao Hai waved his hand and said," Alright, you can go back. Remember, the defense of the camp must be done well. Don't let the enemy take advantage of any loopholes. I know that we've just defeated an army of hundreds of thousands, so there's some pride in the army. But while soldiers can be proud, you Generals can't be. If you're proud, then we won't be far from defeat.
Go back! "The Generals responded, then they turned around and left.
