The speed of the army led by Du Qi was not fast. After all, along the way, he was receiving the surrendered troops from various places. To Du Qi's army, this was not a challenge at all. This was especially so for Fang Yiai. He had brought 800 riflemen with him just to show off his strengths and display his full strength.
Unfortunately, they were invincible all the way and had no opponents.
Finally, the army arrived outside the capital of the Fire Nation.
After the army arrived, they directly stationed outside the southern city and did not launch an attack for the time being.
After all, the army was a little tired and needed a little rest. Moreover, Wu Qianqiu also needed to contact the guard general of the city gate at this time.
Therefore, the army stopped to rest.
While the army was resting, Wu Qianqiu came to see him.
When Du Qi saw Wu Qianqiu, he smiled and said, "Patriarch Wu, is there any news?"
Wu Qianqiu said, "Your Majesty is wise. I have indeed received the news. The general guarding the southern gate has already said that if you attack the county at any time, he will open the city gate to welcome you into the city at any time. Because the person guarding the city gate is his confidant. Apart from him, everyone thinks that Wang Tan can no longer resist, so they are willing to surrender. "
After Du Qi heard this, he said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
Wu Qianqiu said, "Yes."
He was very sure.
Because the general guarding the city gate had a very good relationship with the Wu family. Moreover, he had now pledged allegiance to Du Qi. The people of the Wu family would also serve as the Prefecture Overseer of the South Continent, so he had to do things well and not let anything go wrong.
In fact, he had confirmed it many times.
There would be no problem.
Du Qi got up and said, "In that case, let's set off and directly attack the capital of the Southern Nation. Anyway, the soldiers have rested for a while now and have almost recovered their spirit. They can fight now. "
"Yes!"
Wu Qianqiu quickly replied.
Du Qi immediately arranged for people to inform Fang Yiai and Yan Sanlai, asking them to mobilize the army and prepare for the battle with Du Qi.
The army gathered in a short time.
All the armies were rushing on their way in a grandiose manner.
He headed straight for the county town.
When the army arrived at the southern part of the county, Du Qi did not give any orders. He had already prepared everything, so there was no need to give any orders. Hence, Du Qi immediately gave the order to attack. Under Yan Three's command, all the cannoneers aimed at the city walls and started to bombard them. The soldiers under Du Qi's command quickly charged forward.
With the support of the artillery, the soldiers continued to move forward. Even though sieging the city wasn't easy, the soldiers were all extremely excited and kept charging forward.
This battle was to destroy the Southern Nation.
After fighting for less than a quarter of an hour, the gates of the Southern Empire suddenly opened with a creak.
The capital of the Southern Empire had no moat.
They could kill their way in.
Following the opening of the city gates, Fang Yi 'ai took the lead and led the soldiers to charge forward. Within a short period of time, they had already killed their way into the city gate.
The riflemen under Fang Yiai's command were not only elites, but they were also known as the Gun Kings in the army. Each of them had exquisite marksmanship. The moment they charged in, they raised their guns and took aim.
Gunshots rang out.
One by one, the soldiers fell down.
One by one, the soldiers were killed.
Xia's side was even more imposing. They kept crushing the soldiers of the Southern Nation in the city who were ready to give up.
Originally, the soldiers of the Southern Empire were all excited after receiving Wang Tan's promise and rewards. They were ready to wrestle with Du Qi's army and have a good fight.
However, they did not expect the county to collapse when the city gates were opened.
This was something that everyone was surprised by.
The defensive lines of all the soldiers were crumbling and being suppressed.
This scene also fell into the eyes of Wang Tan, who was on the city gate tower.
"We've lost!"
Wang Tan sighed deeply.
As soon as he received the news that Du Qi had led his army here, he had already rushed over and was prepared to defend the county to the death. As long as he could stall Du Qi's army, he would have a chance to turn the situation around in the following battle.
However, he did not have the chance now.
This made Wang Tan very disappointed.
Especially when the city gates below the city gate tower were opened. It was obvious that the people guarding the city gates had betrayed them.
That was what he wanted.
When heaven and earth were working together, he could easily establish the Southern Nation. But now, the situation had changed completely. Everything had changed.
Wang Tan looked at Wu Youdao and sighed. "Prime Minister, pass down the order. We surrender!"
Wu Youdao was speechless for a moment.
Surrender?
His heart was filled with unwillingness.
Wu Youdao gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been obsessed and thought that I could marry Du Qi and annex the Fire Nation first, it wouldn't have led to today's situation. It's all my fault. "
Wang Tan smiled bitterly.
It was too late to say that now. He could no longer change anything.
Wang Tan said, "Prime Minister, it's not your fault. Because it was me who made the final decision. Now that you've lost, you should surrender. "
Wu Youdao said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Wang Tan said, "Sacrifice yourself for the country."
Wu Youdao smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you're going to sacrifice yourself for the country. How can I not follow you? You and I are one. I should follow you. "
Clang! Clang!
Wu Youdao unsheathed his sword.
He was a scribe, but in this battle, he was armed.
Wu Youdao held his sword to his neck. His eyes were sharp and his expression was firm. He said, "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first. In my next life, I'll serve you again. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Youdao swiped his hand and blood immediately spurted out.
Wu Youdao's neck tilted and his body collapsed to the ground.
A moment later, he was no longer breathing.
When Wang Tan saw this, he sighed and closed Wu Youdao's eyes. Then, he raised the sword in his hand and slit his own throat, cutting his own throat.
Wu Youdao and Wang Tan committed suicide one after another. The soldiers on the city tower who were still trying their best to resist the attack soon learned of the situation.
The entire army had collapsed.
No one could resist it anymore, and no one could defend against it.
Especially when the army led by Yan Three and Fang Yiai entered, no one had the confidence to fight anymore.
Everyone surrendered one after another.
Even Zou Yi, the general under Wang Tan's command, surrendered. After all, Zou Yi was not young anymore. He had a large family and business. He could not just commit suicide and ignore the lives of his family members.
After Zou Yi's army surrendered, Du Qi's army entered the city in a short period of time.
The army quickly took control of the city gates.
In less than two hours, the entire city was under the control of Du Qi's army.
The Southern Nation was destroyed just like that.
When Du Qi learned of Wang Tan and Wu Youdao's suicide, he sighed in his heart. He ordered the soldiers to bury the two corpses. Then, he asked Fang Yiai to quickly reorganize the army.
While the army was reorganizing and doing a headcount, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from outside the city.
Clop! Clop!
The warhorse galloped, and a scout dashed over.
"Report!"
The sentry shouted loudly.
Soon, he arrived at the area where Du Qi was. He came to Du Qi's side and reported, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Minister Jin. Please read it."
Du Qi took the letter and quickly opened it.
After reading it, he shook his head and smiled.
His little brat was really powerful. Now, he was even involved in the war in North America.
Fang Yiai asked, "Your Majesty, what is it about?"
Du Qi explained, "Minister Jin just sent a letter saying that the Emperor has sent two hundred thousand soldiers to the mainland of the Xia Continent. They are already rushing over. The first batch of fifty thousand soldiers has already landed in Fu Shan County and is heading toward the Xia Continent.
"There will be more soldiers coming after them.
"This batch of soldiers is equipped with the latest weapons from the Xia Continent. These weapons are not rifles but machine guns. These weapons can be used to shoot and are more lethal.
"With these two hundred thousand soldiers, they can easily wipe out the entire Great Qin."
After Du Qi said that, he said, "Right now, we can temporarily stabilize the southern nation. After that, when these two hundred thousand soldiers arrive, we will directly wipe out the entire nation. "
The current strength of the Xia Country was developing at a rapid pace.
Therefore, Du Ye had the strength now.
He could indeed wipe out the Great Qin.
Fang Yiai said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Du Qi said, "What's there to congratulate? After all, there is no need to fight anymore."
"I can take a break now."
After Du Qi said that, he shook his head and chuckled.
He was not young anymore.
Since his son had begun to intervene, he would not fight anymore. He would accompany his two wives and live a comfortable life.
The future was promising!
