Wushuang City was taken down. The civilians and the army killed 700 thousand Great Yu troops and captured 600 thousand.
320 thousand civilians died while Shui Wuhen's army suffered close to 20 thousand casualties. Great Xuan Army's first unit had no casualties.
What a weird and shocking victory.
After the statistics officer tabulated the results, he stood there in a daze for half a day. What was the result? Not only did they take down Wushuang City, but they also killed 700 thousand Great Yu troops? 600 thousand were captured? They even heavily injured the 200 thousand that Wu An took away.
The statistics officer swallowed his saliva. Weird, it was just too weird.
This Zhong Shan's ability to lead his troops into battle was simply too amazing. If the civilians were not included, Zhong Shan's Da Xuan army of two hundred thousand and Wu Shuang City's army of four hundred and fifty thousand, which was a total of six hundred and fifty thousand, had taken down Wu Shuang City with twenty thousand casualties, defeating the one and a half million defenders.
This was a classic battle where the weak side was at a disadvantage.
Using the weak to win against the strong? Zhong Shan was already used to such things. In the Mortal World, there were too many cases of the weak winning against the strong. Before the country was founded, 800 thousand troops surrounded Xuan City and didn't the 8,000 defending troops win? A difference of 100 times.
When Zhong Shan led troops, he would analyze the strength that he grasped, turning them into a martial arts expert. On the other hand, no matter how many troops the enemy had, they were like a clumsy giant.
So what if they were giants? Zhong Shan's soldiers were martial arts experts. Although they were weak and small in size, they were nimble and vicious. Stabbing your eyes, grabbing your throat, bursting your ass, hitting your weak spot, not using much strength, they would still grind you to death.
Wushuang City, City Lord Manor.
Zhong Shan sat at the commander's table. Beside him were generals that he worshipped.
Zhao Chuan looked at Zhong Shan in a daze. Not a single Great Xuan soldier died and Wushuang City was taken down? That was just too unreal.
"Commander, are we handing the 600 thousand prisoners to the Wushuang City civilians?" Shui Wuhen frowned.
"Of course, since I promised, I naturally have to fulfill it. Don't worry, when the civilians empty out the prisoners, I will return them." Zhong Shan smiled.
"Yes." Shui Wuhen said.
"Has my decision been announced to the entire city?" Zhong Shan asked.
"That's right. Everyone in the city knows about it. Those who betrayed the Great Havenlaw Dynasty are willing to accept the punishment. Marshal said that they would let bygones be bygones after being punished, so they are naturally grateful. However, those commoners who attacked the city are too exaggerated. They robbed everything, and even tore down some of the better houses," said Shui Wuhen with a strange tone.
"Only two days, one day has already passed, they will naturally work harder. Don't worry, these external objects will be rebuilt in no time." Zhong Shan smiled and reassured.
"Yes!" Shui Wuhen replied.
"Mn. Zhao Chuan, send someone to report this victory to the Imperial Court and report it to the Grand Xuan King," Zhong Shan said to Zhao Chuan.
"Yes, Marshal!" Zhao Chuan replied immediately.
"Bury all the soldiers who attacked the city and erect a monument to the martyrs in the middle of the city," Zhong Shan said.
"Yes," Zhao Chuan replied immediately.
Grand Xuan City.
In the Grand Xuan King's study, the Grand Xuan King looked at the person kneeling before the table. This person was Zhao Chuan's subordinate, one of the people from the Grand Xuan Army's first camp.
At this moment, this person was kneeling on the ground and recounting everything that had happened in the past few days.
The Grand Xuan King held a letter in his hand and listened patiently. There were seven to eight people standing on both sides, looking like generals and strategists.
"Your Highness, this is how it is. I didn't make any mistakes," said that person.
"Your Highness, this, this is too exaggerated. The Grand Xuan Army didn't suffer any losses and took down Matchless City? Is that still the natural stronghold of Matchless City? "A person at the side exclaimed.
"Yeah. This, this is the first battle that Zhong Shan fought. The first battle for someone who has never fought before? This, this is like a stroke from the gods. It's inconceivable and limitless, "said another person.
"I thought that he could take down Matchless City, but I didn't expect it to be so simple. This battle was too beautiful," said another person.
Everyone discussed spiritedly. Twenty thousand dead, seven hundred thousand dead, and six hundred thousand captives. Could this still be described as a difficult battle? If this news spread to the Immemorial Sacred Capital, it would definitely shock the entire dynasty.
Zhong Shan, this is Zhong Shan?
Everyone was shocked, but the Grand Xuan King put down the letter in his hand unhurriedly. He nodded and said, "You are in charge. Go to the Immemorial Sacred Capital and face His Majesty. Tell him everything you said just now."
"Yes!" The soldier who reported just now immediately said.
"Your Highness?" A subordinate immediately called out with a frown.
However, the Grand Xuan King had already made up his mind. No one could persuade him, nor could they. Such a great victory would soon spread throughout the world.
It had already been a month since the great victory of Matchless City.
Matchless City, in front of the City Lord's residence.
Zhong Shan and Ah Da stood on the floating island and looked down at Matchless City.
Under the governance of Zhong Shan, Matchless City was quickly recovering in an orderly manner.
Shui Wuhen's army had gone from four hundred and thirty thousand to six hundred thousand very quickly. Shui Wuhen was currently training new soldiers.
"Mister, you've already been here for two hours," said Ah Da doubtfully.
"Yes, I'm thinking about something," said Zhong Shan.
"Do you still remember the huge ape that Heaven's Equal summoned that day?" asked Zhong Shan.
"Yes." Ah Da nodded.
"How did he summon that huge ape? Shouldn't it be a tiger? "asked Zhong Shan with a frown.
Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Ah Da smiled faintly and said, "This one just happens to know."
"Oh?" Zhong Shan looked suspiciously at Ah Da.
"The tiger is the national beast of the Daluo Celestial Dynasty. So within the tenth generation of the Daluo Celestial Dynasty's bloodline, everyone has the opportunity to summon it. However, not everyone can do it. It's similar to a bloodline inheritance. It needs to be stimulated. As for controlling a huge beast, other than summoning it, there's also taming it. Just like the tiger cavalry of the Daluo Celestial Dynasty, there's another way. Some people can sign a contract with some small demonic beast race to protect the demonic beast race, and the demonic beast race will be summoned to assist them. Perhaps Heaven's Equal signed a contract with an ape-type demonic beast," said Ah Da.
"Oh? There are others who can do it as well? "Zhong Shan was surprised.
"In the Daluo Celestial Dynasty, other than Heaven's Equal, there are several people who have signed contracts with small races," said Ah Da.
"Then what about the Wolf Race?" Zhong Shan probed.
"Wolf Race? The Wolf Race is a large race. After all, there are many places in the Divine Continent where wolves can be found. It's been a long time since I've heard of someone signing a contract with the Wolf Race, "said Ah Da.
"A large race?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"Yes, a large race. Of course, it's a bit weaker than the national beast races of the three Celestial Dynasties. Last time, The Third Prince of Hao was hunted down at the Celestial Wolf Island. He could summon the Dragon Race, which is the most powerful race. Now, even though The Third Prince of Hao's Celestial Dynasty is gone, the Dragon Race is still the most powerful race of demonic beasts," said Ah Da.
"Dragon? The Daluo Celestial Dynasty is the tiger, the Dali Celestial Dynasty is the phoenix. Then what about the Taisui Celestial Dynasty? "asked Zhong Shan. Could it be the Black Tortoise?
"The Taisui Celestial Dynasty is the crow. There are all kinds of crows, "said Ah Da.
"Crow?" Zhong Shan was surprised.
"Yes. But it's too far away from the Daluo Celestial Dynasty. It's at the two ends of the Divine Continent, "said Ah Da.
"Yes." Zhong Shan nodded. So he got it.
"Mister, do you want a mount too?" Ah Da laughed.
"Yes, I want to find one too. At the very least, it'll be extra protection in battle," said Zhong Shan with a smile.
"Then let's apply for the Tiger Clan," said Ah Da.
"No need. I've already thought of a clan." Zhong Shan shook his head.
"Uh, no need for a tiger? Then Mister, are you going to … "Ah Da was puzzled.
"Remember when we went to the Great Yu Empire, we passed by the Alioth Sect?" Zhong Shan asked with a smile.
"Ah, I remember now. Mister, you know the wolf language. Are you going to ride a wolf as a mount?" Ah Da immediately said.
"Yes, we'll go there immediately. I'll make arrangements for Wushuang City tonight. We'll leave early tomorrow morning," said Zhong Shan.
"Yes!" Ah Da immediately nodded.
The next day, Zhong Shan and Ah Da left Wushuang City. Wushuang City was handed over to Shui Wuhen. According to Zhong Shan's plan, it wouldn't be a problem to guard it for a while.
Shui Wuhen was also extremely grateful to Zhong Shan. She was grateful for Zhong Shan's recognition of her talent.
Not long after Zhong Shan left, an imperial edict arrived at Wushuang City.
Daluo Heaven Empire's new top scholar, Zhong Shan!
The Daluo Golden Ranking was announced. The results of the new imperial examinations were all out.
First place, Zhong Shan! Top scholar.
Second place, Shui Jing! Second place.
Third place, Heaven's Equal! Third place!
As for Jin Chan, he was first place in the second place.
Zhong Shan's essay had infuriated the heavens. It had also been spread around by the hundred thousand examinees. What kind of concept was that? Even the heavens were jealous of his essay. If he wasn't first place, the heavens wouldn't tolerate it. No, the heavens wouldn't tolerate it. If he wasn't first place, the heavens would tolerate it.
Shui Jing's essay had won the admiration of thousands of scholars. If it wasn't for Zhong Shan, he would naturally be first place. However, in front of the heavens, he seemed to be slightly inferior.
As for Heaven's Equal and Jin Chan, their essays were on par. However, Jin Chan made a mistake. The topic of this imperial examination was' War '. What they wanted was Heaven's Equal's dragon-like arrogance, not the Splendid Landscape Painting.
The top scholar's essay, Rivers Run Red!
The top scholar, the top scholar was the commander of Wushuang City, the one who had just obtained a monstrous victory with the loss of twenty thousand troops, Zhong Shan, Marshal Zhong!
For a moment, the entire Wushuang City was boiling. Marshal Zhong was also the top scholar? No wonder he could lead troops to conquer Wushuang City. No wonder he could write an essay that was struck by lightning. If you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters.
