In ancient cold weapons warfare, losing ten percent of the soldiers would cause the morale to drop. Losing twenty to thirty percent would cause the army to collapse. This was a very normal thing.
Unfortunately, such a good thing did not happen to the Noble Clans.
After all, Wu Ming did not move. Three thousand soldiers, as well as the Iron Artillery and Taekwondo, were watching from behind!
"Fine! Let's take down Guangli City today! "
Wu Ming's eyes flashed. He knew that losing half of the army was indeed a very dangerous limit. He immediately stood up and said, "After we take down the city, we will allow them to massacre the city and plunder as they wish. I believe that will appease their anger?"
"Hmm? Take down the city today? "
Guiyi Yijing was surprised.
"That's right!"
Wu Ming stood up and looked at Guangli City with a smile. "We have been attacking the city for three days. The Gui Clan's army is as still as a mountain, recuperating, while the Noble Clans have lost a thousand soldiers. Even with the Iron Artillery and siege weapons, at least eight hundred soldiers have died! They are also quite tired. Now that my three thousand soldiers are here, we can definitely take down Si Zhi Wan! Pass down the order, the entire army is to attack! "
"Ha!"
Kanosuke Yamanaka obeyed. After passing down the order, the three thousand Gui Yi Army who had been guarding the city slowly moved out.
Seeing this, angry roars could be heard from the walls of Guangli City.
"Kill!"
These three thousand soldiers had followed Wu Ming all the way here. Their morale was at its peak. Moreover, they had a large number of soldiers. Once they joined the battle, the situation immediately changed.
Half a day later.
A gap was opened on the city wall. Many Gui Family soldiers swarmed in and slaughtered without restraint.
"Report!"
A Gui Family soldier rushed back to report. "General Yijing has taken down Si Zhi Wan. The enemy has retreated to defend San Zhi Wan!"
"Very good! Order the army to defend, there is no need to fight anymore! As for the thirteen daimyo armies … clean up the battlefield and the outer city, leave it to them. After all, we should give them some comfort. "
Wu Ming stood up. "Let's go! Let's go take a look! "
"Lord Patriarch!"
When they arrived at the edge of the city wall, they saw that there were holes everywhere. Traces of blood and fire could be seen everywhere. Guiyi Yijing was covered in blood as he rushed over, "Why didn't you continue? The enemy was defeated just now, so we can take the opportunity to take down Sanomaru! "
"Right now, there are at least a thousand Chu-Qing soldiers in the city. If we take down the three city walls one by one, how many casualties will our army suffer?"
Wu Ming sneered as he looked at the Three Marbles not far away. "However, the Four Marbles are made of stone and can't be burned. The Three Marbles, Two Marbles, and even the Heavensguard Pavilion are all made of wood. I can just burn them!"
"Pass my order, all units defend to the death, order the ninjas of the fire unit to attack!"
"Burn? Burned? "
Kanosuke Yamanaka's jaw dropped. "My Lord! Guangli City is a bigger city than Marsha City. In the Heavensguard Pavilion, there is the wealth of the Ikeda family that has been passed down for generations! "
"Compared to the loss of our warriors and Ashigaru, this is still worth it!"
Wu Ming waved his hand. "No need to say more, I've made up my mind!"
When the catapults arrived, the entire Sanomaru could be heard wailing.
The name of the Ghost Clan's Fire Ninjas had obviously become synonymous with burning and death.
"Kill!"
On the spot, a group of brave warriors rushed out from the gate of Sanomaru, trying to destroy the catapults.
"Fire!"
But how could Wu Ming give them this chance?
As early as when the catapults arrived, he had placed the Iron Artillery and the Ghost Clan nearby, and they immediately played their role.
"The narrow city gate restricts our entry, and now it also restricts their attack … A thousand people, if they can't come out at the same time, they can only become human pillars (sacrifices) under the blockade of my Iron Artillery …"
Wu Ming smiled and said to the warriors next to him.
In the wave of attack just now, there were even several swordsmen hidden. One of them even seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough, and was about to reach the realm of Swordmaster.
Unfortunately, it was useless. After being entangled by the Ghost Clan and being focused on, they still died a horrible death.
"Give the order! Burn them to death! "
Bang!
The catapults let out a terrible roar, and the burning oil bombs were thrown into the Sanomaru.
The fire burned wood, and the prepared water could not save the situation at all. Soon, screams were heard, accompanied by the smell of burnt meat, and gradually became silent.
The fire spread, and finally engulfed the entire Heavensguard Pavilion, causing the huge and magnificent pavilion to slowly collapse.
Bang!
At this time, Wu Ming withdrew the army outside the city, and even the 13 noble clans who were ordered to slaughter and plunder the city did not dare to stay any longer.
"Alas … the Ikeda family is also a famous family in the Izumo Nation. Even I have heard of Ikeda Masayoshi's name. I can't believe that the Ikeda family will perish today …"
Looking at this scene, Kanosuke Yamanaka's face showed a trace of a sigh.
Not only him, but the rest of the people, whether it was the original Iishi District's governor, or the newly joined noble clans of Ohara, looked at Wu Ming with eyes full of deep awe.
…
With the reputation of burning down Guangli City, and the evil deed of slaughtering the entire Ikeda family, it was reasonable for Wu Ming to order all the noble clans of Ohara Prefecture to come and pay homage to him.
When the news spread, almost all the noble clans of Ohara Prefecture came to Guangli City.
Immediately, they were shocked by the mountain of severed heads piled up at the city gate.
The faces overlapped, with blood flowing out of their seven apertures. There were old people, children, and even women. Of course, most of them were Ashigaru, and warriors with shaved heads. They piled up layer by layer, forming the shape of a tower. The stench even made several family supervisors vomit on the ground.
"Demons! Great Demonic Affinity! "
More than one family supervisor murmured in his heart. Of course, when they were led into the military camp, they showed more respect on the surface.
"The lord summons you, follow me!"
With a cold face, Guiyi Yijing led these family heads to the center.
"… Although Guangli City has been destroyed, the Pill of Four is still outside, so it will be easier to rebuild it … Has the Kato family been exterminated? Very well, all those who support the Ikeda family and go against the main family will be wiped out, and no one will be left alive! "
Hearing this voice, many family supervisors felt weak in their legs.
"The Ghost Palace summons you!"
Standing beside Wu Ming, Guiyi Yijing said calmly.
"Haha!"
Immediately, all the family supervisors of the noble clans in Dayuan Prefecture prostrated themselves on the ground and saluted, with cold sweat dripping down.
"Well, get up!"
At this time, they dared to get up, and some of them secretly glanced at the family supervisor of the Ghost Palace, Guichi Dharma Eye.
They saw a young man wearing a black suit with the skull of a Green Ghost carved on it, sitting on a stool. His bearing was as heavy as a mountain, and he was full of an unshakable majesty.
Even with just a glance, they felt as if they had been discovered, and a gaze that could see through their souls fell on them. This kind of unfathomable capability made them feel even more awestruck.
"Well … Watanabe family, Shimazu family, Nagamune family … and Okubo family, you have done a good job this time, and each of you will be rewarded with 500 to 1,000 stones of Knowledge Executor!"
"We will die for the lord!"
Hearing Wu Ming's words, the 13 family supervisors immediately showed joy on their faces. They felt that it was worth it to surrender to the Ghost Palace in advance and lose so many samurai and Ashigaru.
"As for you?"
Being glanced at by Wu Ming, the other family supervisors felt as if they were paralyzed by electricity, and all of them lowered their heads deeply.
"Those who dare to resist the main family have already been destroyed by the Ghost Palace, and the view is prepared for that … Everyone, it's time to choose, will you follow the Yiyu Clan, or the Ghost Palace?"
"Of course, the Ghost Palace!"
At this time, no family supervisor dared to say anything else.
"Very good! It's just that you didn't surrender to me immediately, and you even supported the Ikeda family previously … "
However, Wu Ming's next sentence almost made them fall into the abyss. "Every family will have their fiefdoms reduced, and offer up Ashigaru to join my army, and make contributions to wash away your previous sins!"
"Ha!"
Many family heads agreed as if they had been granted amnesty, but they didn't know that Wu Ming was secretly sneering in his heart. He had decided to transfer all of their fiefdoms after conquering the Yun Nation!
"Congratulations, Lord Family Supervisor, for taking control of Dahara Prefecture!"
After the family supervisors left, the henchmen of the Ghost Palace knelt down to congratulate Wu Ming.
"Yes! After taking control of Dahara Prefecture, the road to the headquarters of the Yiyu Clan, Chuanliu City in Yiyu Prefecture, will be open … "
Wu Ming also had a gratified look on his face, and suddenly glanced at the top of his head.
In the outer space, red gas gathered and turned into a golden color, causing the Wu Family's luck to expand, revealing its unparalleled dominance and power.
However, at the same time, traces of greyish black gas appeared in the surroundings.
"Tribulation Qi?"
Seeing this, Wu Ming sneered in his heart. He knew that this was the tribulation caused by his massacre of over ten thousand people, and the burning of the city and the extermination of the clan.
To cultivators, this was very troublesome. Even if it didn't fall, it was just that 'it's not that karma won't fall, it's that the time has not come'.
"I've taken over two counties, and with the people's luck to replenish it, the tribulation qi won't fall on me … However, if I die in defeat, it will be the time for retribution. If I can't suppress my Enlightened Master status, I won't even be able to protect my true spirit …"
"Furthermore … if I start fighting now, and fight for the world, it will be in accordance with the will of the heavens. After I rule the Yun Nation, if I can bring virtue to the people and accumulate merits, I can also get rid of the tribulation qi …"
The current Wu Ming was much more knowledgeable and experienced than before. Seeing this, not only was he not afraid, he even had many other ideas.
At this moment, as he analyzed the luck, he made another discovery.
"This golden-red luck is the replenishment of the people's luck of the two counties. As long as I'm still the lord of two counties, this luck will be endless. Compared to the dragon qi that was used in the Marquis Pearl, it's naturally incomparable!"
"However, there seems to be a great deal of karma involved in this … If I use it to cultivate, I will have to bear the responsibility, and it will be difficult for me to escape! Since ancient times, the Human Sovereign is not the Immortal, and the Immortal is not the Human Sovereign. It does make sense … "
Wu Ming felt that he seemed to have grasped the balance between the people's luck and the Immortal Dao. "I still have to think of a way …"
