The entire Jiancheng was like a zombie camp. The people who had temporarily regained their sanity under the influence of Xuan Tianhua's Demonic Zither still returned to the city. Even though Xuan Tianhua warned them at the last moment to leave their homes and not drink Jiancheng's water, where else could they go besides Jiancheng? They were born here and grew up here. Even though they knew there was a problem, they still had to return here!
What's more, the Demonic Zither only temporarily woke them up. It couldn't remove the effects of the Free and Unfettered Blissful Powder in their bodies. Very quickly, the drug took effect. Their addicted nerves stimulated them to once again fall into madness. No one knew who started it, but they turned around and ran back to Jian City. Everyone followed behind them, rushing back to Jian City with all their might. They rushed to the side of every well and gulped down large mouthfuls of water.
Many people were injured in this battle. When Feng Yu Heng sneaked into Jiancheng, she happened to see a toddler standing in the corner. He was holding a broken arm and looking around unconsciously. That arm was his left arm. It was cut off at the base and blood flowed out like a pillar. The child's face was pale and his body swayed. Finally, he couldn't stand anymore and sat on the ground. There was a woman beside him who seemed to be the child's mother. When she saw the child fall, she wanted to help him up. However, there was a large hole in her abdomen. When she stood up, her intestines flowed out.
They didn't feel pain. Even if their arms were broken, even if their abdomens were cut open, as long as they could breathe, they would die. As long as there was a nerve connected, they could still move. The woman helped the child up and dragged him forward. When they reached a well, she personally brought a bucket of water. The two of them leaned over the bucket and drank happily. It was as if they were drinking the most delicious soup in the world. Their faces were full of satisfaction.
As a doctor, she wanted to help the little boy connect his arm. At the very least, she had to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, he would soon die from excessive blood loss. However, very quickly, more and more seriously injured people entered her sight. Not only were there children, but there were also the elderly and even pregnant women. Everyone had injuries. Everyone needed immediate treatment. But she was only one person. She only had a pair of hands. With so many, she couldn't save them all.
Feng Yu Heng didn't know where to start. She could only stand there in a daze and watch. Only when a group of soldiers came from afar did she recover and quickly hide in a corner. Then, he saw that the group of soldiers seemed to be looking for someone. They searched through the city, carefully identifying each person, but none of them were the person they were looking for. She heard someone say: "Dashun Prince's Seventh Prince is injured like that, even if he escaped, he won't live long, right? What's the use? "
Her heart went "thunk!"
Injured to that extent? What kind of injuries?? Duan Mu An Guo's people were also searching. That meant that Xuan Tian Hua had not died, and he had not fallen into Duan Mu An Guo's hands. So, the most important thing now was to find him before Xuan Tianhua's Dashun. No matter how serious his injuries were, she had confidence that she could treat him.
Feng Yu Heng took one last look at this city of zombies. She was powerless. Xuan Tianhua's drug was too heavy. These people were incurable. The injured people would die very quickly. Those who didn't have any external injuries wouldn't live for more than three months.
She originally wanted to search for Xuan Tianhua's Dashun in the city. But the news of Xuan Tianhua made her anxious. She hurriedly left the city and returned to Bin City without stopping.
At this time, Xuan Tianming was standing at the top of the city gate tower waiting for her. Seeing that small figure approaching from afar, he immediately went down to open the gate. The first thing he asked when they met again was: "Are you injured?"
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "No, I'm not injured. I wasn't discovered by anyone." She anxiously grabbed Xuan Tianming's arm. Panting heavily, she said: "Seventh Brother is seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown. He didn't fall into Xuan Tianhua's Dashun."
"Seriously injured." Xuan Tianming frowned. Seriously injured, but he didn't fall into the enemy's hands. Where could he have gone? "There are many mountains in the outskirts of Dashun. Seventh Brother has hidden guards by his side. Since he didn't return to Bin City, he should have gone into the mountains."
"But Xuan Tianhua's Dashun is searching." Feng Yu Heng said, "Dashun is within their sphere of influence. If they spread out their net to search, they should be able to find him very quickly, right?" She was anxious, "Even if we go to search, we won't be able to catch up to them. Firstly, it's far away. Secondly, we're in someone else's territory. It's inconvenient to move. Xuan Tianming, tell me, what should we do? "She looked up at him," We can't ignore Seventh Brother. "
"Of course, we can't ignore him." Xuan Tianming pulled her hand and walked into the city. As they walked, he said, "To ensure Seventh Brother's safety, we have to make Dashun City our own. That's the most beneficial. Tell me … … can the citizens of Dashun City be saved? "He asked Feng Yu Heng." I'm talking about the citizens who aren't injured. Can they still live? "
She shook her head, "They won't live for long. At most, three months."
"Three months." Xuan Tianming sighed, "Three months is too long. We can't wait."
"You mean … …"
"Attack the city!" Xuan Tianming made the final decision, "Since the citizens have no way to live, then Dashun must protect Seventh Brother's life even if it means massacring the city. I will bear the infamy. If the city is massacred, then so be it. In this battle, there should be some trade-offs. "
"Have you made your decision?" She asked Xuan Tianming. At the same time, she reached out to hold his hand tightly, "If you've decided, then I can complete it for you. I'm just a woman. I don't care if my name is called. If the world wants to criticize me, then let them criticize me. If the world wants to be ruthless, then let them be ruthless to me. My husband shouldn't be misunderstood like that. I … … "
"Woman!" Xuan Tianming's face darkened. Even his voice became colder, "Woman! Stand behind me! "
Dashun's army began to attack Dashun City. They used Heavenly Lightning and firearms. On this piece of land, the entire city was blasted into ruins. None of the three hundred thousand citizens of Dashun City and two hundred thousand Zong Sui soldiers managed to escape. All of them died in the city. Their blood and flesh became mud, flowing into a nameless river in this winter day.
The sounds of explosions caused the ground to tremble, as if there was an earthquake. Duanmu Anguo who was hiding in the secret room in the prefect's manor could no longer sit still. Because of the report from his spies, not only was Xuan Tianming massacring every inch of Dashun City, he even personally led people to surround the one hundred thousand private soldiers that he had deployed from various places. One hundred thousand people were killed until not a single one was left!
Duanmu Anguo gritted his teeth in anger. He did not want to fight Dashun head on in Dashun City. Those one hundred thousand people were just to cover the ears of the new Zong Sui Emperor. It would be best if the dead citizens of Dashun City could stop Xuan Tianhua. If they really could not stop him, the next Tong City would be the place where he would have a final battle with Dashun.
But he did not expect that after Xuan Tianhua escaped with heavy injuries, the King of Hell Xuan Tianming would attack again. If he knew that Xuan Tianming was here, he would not have let those one hundred thousand people fight against him. But it was too late to say anything now. Half of the two hundred thousand private soldiers were instantly lost. No matter how much Duanmu Anguo's heart ached, he was powerless to reverse the situation.
He asked his subordinate: "Is there any news of the Seventh Prince?"
The subordinate shook his head: "There is none at the moment. The search is still ongoing, but there are too many forests around Dashun City. It is not easy to find him."
Duanmu Anguo snorted and said: "He is heavily injured and cannot escape too far. The demonic zither has already exhausted all of his internal energy. The current Seventh Prince is no different from a cripple without any martial arts. Even if there is someone protecting him, he is a burden. Unfortunately, we do not have much time left. Forget it, since the Heavens do not want me to accomplish anything in Dashun City, then I will settle this debt properly in Tong City! Has everything been prepared in Tong City? "
The subordinate replied: "Sir, do not worry. The other one hundred thousand of our brothers have already set up defenses in Tong City. As long as Sir reaches Tong City, we will be completely safe."
"That's right!" Duanmu Anguo laughed loudly, "As long as we reach Tong City, we will be completely safe. So what if it is Dashun's heavenly lightning? Let them see what I have prepared for them! Let's go! Let's leave this godforsaken place. Dashun massacred the city. In the future, when the Emperor of Zong Sui questions us, there will be someone to shoulder this crime. "
Duanmu Anguo left. When Dashun's army entered the city, the hooves of the horses were covered in meat paste. Everyone was riding on horses and those infantrymen did not dare to enter the city. The feeling of stepping on meat paste caused their scalps to feel numb. Moreover, the people who died were all innocent citizens.
Dashun had fought so many battles and had never massacred a city like this before. But today, they had no choice but to build the city. Everyone had seen the madness of the people who built the city. Thinking about it now, they still felt a lingering fear. Now, these people had turned into meat paste and were stepped on by them on the hooves of the horses. But it still gave people the illusion that these meat paste would reform into a person and launch a crazy attack at them once again.
The city was conquered, but there was no joy of victory. The people used black scarves to cover their mouths and noses, silently cleaning up the corpses in this city. Buckets of water were brought up from the wells to wash the ground where the city was built. But no matter what, they could not wash away the smell of blood.
Xuan Tianming sent a large number of people into the nearby mountains to search for Xuan Tianhua. Feng Yu Heng checked the wells in this city one by one. Unfortunately, in the end, she came up with the conclusion that the water source for the city was already completely destroyed.
The army entered from the western city gate and exited from the eastern city gate, setting up camp 20 li outside the city. The corpses of the city were burned together, the stench of smoke spreading far and wide. Even Tong City, which was standing far away, could smell it.
They temporarily set up camp here. Before they found the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua, Xuan Tianming did not have any intention of sending out troops again.
It was widely spread in the world that Dashun's Ninth Prince massacred a city in Zong Sui, killing 300 thousand citizens and 200 thousand soldiers in the city. When these words reached Xuan Tianming's ears, he only snorted coldly, then said: "I will massacre them and tell the Zong Sui ruler, there will be a day when I will lead troops to charge into Zong Sui's capital. This will be the stage where he and that old thief Duanmu conspired to rebel against Dashun!"
However, although the news of the massacre of the city spread quickly, there was another rumor that did not stop there. Especially in the next city, Tong City, people were spreading a secret behind closed doors at home. The popular person by the Emperor's side, Duanmu Anguo, gave the citizens who built the city a type of drug, causing everyone to go crazy. That drug was placed in the wells, no one could avoid it. Even if Dashun did not massacre the city, the citizens there would not live for long.
Therefore, when Feng Zhaolian's carriage entered Tong City, the sentence he heard the most was: Do not drink the water from the wells!
