Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 369: Conquering Seven Cities in a Row, Zen Sect’s Reality and Illusion
Qingzhi County, city center.

Hou Yucheng stood in mid-air, put away the Hou family's identity token, and looked at the Red Flame Army cleaning up the battlefield below. He ignored the blood-stained armor on his body and plunged into the square below. He looked at the prisoners being sent outside, his pupils filled with laughter. The cold light flashed slightly.

"Second Master, there are still more than 2 disciples of Leiyin Temple in the county, and the defenders have captured 3000 people. How should we deal with these people?"

"How many people are willing to surrender?"

"Less than ten thousand!"

"All the remaining 5 people are unwilling to surrender?"

"Basically only Huang Chan's army surrendered, and most of them were locals in the city. Those who didn't want to surrender were all disciples of Leiyin Temple. Judging from their accents and habits, they should have followed Leiyin Temple south to Jizhou. If they don't accept us, It’s normal.”

Hou Yucheng frowned slightly. He led five towns with only 10 soldiers and horses in total. From yesterday to today, a total of four county towns were captured, with nearly [-] losses.

The number of surrendered soldiers in the first four counties is actually similar to that in Qingzhi County, ranging from [-] to [-], and the proportion of people willing to surrender is also similar, around [-] to [-].

These cities are not just taken down, he also has to send people to supervise them. The soldiers and people in each city, as well as some Leiyin Temple disciples who are hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities to counterattack, must be on guard and guard to the death. Jiuchi County is currently Under his instruction, the soldiers and horses stationed in the four towns were divided into four parts and stationed in the four counties respectively for supervision.

Twenty-five thousand people, plus more than 5000 surrendered soldiers, to manage [-] to [-] surrendered soldiers who are imprisoned without weapons, is almost appropriate. If there are no special circumstances, Qingzhi County can also follow the practices of the previous four counties.

The problem is, it’s different!
Qingzhi County is different from the previous four counties. It is an important place connecting Pengkang and Jiuchi counties. As long as the big brother takes over Pengkang County, then the two counties of Jinyang and Pingchuan located in the north of Pengkang County will be the turtle in the urn. Take it or not. Next, the entire Pengkang County is considered to be in hand. By then the two counties will be connected, Jianye Prefecture will be cut off one-third of the territory, and the entire Hexi army will be included in this one-third of the territory. , by then, if Leiyin Temple wants to take it back, it will not be that simple.

Qingzhi County, which is so important, is likely to become an important target of Leiyin Temple, so he must ensure that everything is safe. Right now, he only has 5 troops left, which is seriously insufficient. He was about to transfer a town from Jiuchi County Soldiers and horses came to support, but how could a part of the soldiers be allocated to specifically guard the more than [-] prisoners of war.

Hou Yucheng's pupils flashed coldly as he looked at the soldiers not far away.

"If you give them another half hour and still don't want to surrender, just let them do it!"

"Helping...them?"

The man's expression froze, and then he looked up and saw the cold light in Hou Yucheng's pupils. After realizing what he meant by Chengquan, his body suddenly trembled.

"Aren't there more than 1 people willing to surrender? Let them do it!"

"This subordinate will do it."

The man walked to the place where the surrendered soldiers were specially guarded, and after conveying Hou Yucheng's order, the general who heard the order almost had a flash of horror on his face involuntarily, and turned back to face Hou Yucheng's gloomy gaze. His body trembled and he started to execute it.

Half an hour later, the bloody massacre began...

"Hexi's reckless killings will be punished by God!"

"Spare your life, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!"

"Hou Yucheng, you bloody butcher, the eminent monks of our temple will definitely kill you as soon as they arrive."

"Honored Sir, World Honored One, Buddha, save my disciples!"

"Amitabha, the sins in Hexi are extremely evil, and they will be punished in the future."

………………

Under the fear of being slaughtered by swords, the soldiers of Huang Chan and the disciples of Leiyin Temple all reacted differently. Some opened their mouths to beg for mercy, some cursed, some closed their eyes and glued to the Buddha's name, and some were frightened when the butcher's knife came. , those who wanted to surrender, and even those who knew Hou Yucheng, begged him to let them go...

It's a pity that the deadline given by Hou Yucheng was already over in the half hour just now. The executioner who attacked was the one who surrendered in the first wave. The more than 1 people handed over their certificates of surrender. Although their expressions were complicated, they were... Looking at the Chi Yan soldiers beside him, it was obvious that they were getting closer. Obviously, they all realized that they couldn't turn back.

Out of more than 5 people, only 5000 saw something was wrong. They surrendered within half an hour and saved their lives. Nearly [-] prisoners of war remained. Although the number was large, there were still nearly [-] executed. It only took less than a moment to slaughter them all.

These are nearly [-] warriors with sufficient energy and blood. Even the corpses exude astonishing blood energy. The entire Qingzhi County seems to be filled with a smell of blood in the air. Even at this moment, the people are so scared that they hide. At home, they could also smell this strong smell, and they, who were already silent, became even more frightened.

Hou Yucheng walked up to the more than 1 soldiers, looked at their blood-soaked armor and clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, you should die with these people, but you still know the current affairs." , I will give you a chance to survive now.

The war between me in Hexi and Leiyin Temple is not over yet. Your lives are in my hands in Hexi. I plan to use you people to build a new army specifically for the follow-up war. As long as you are guilty and meritorious, not only the previous All the crimes can be exonerated, and this seat can also specially approve you to join my Hou family, how about it? "

After hearing what Hou Yucheng said, the people below fell into a brief silence.

"Thank you, Second Master, we are willing to serve Hexi!"

"I would like to join the new army."

"We must obey the Second Master's orders."

………………

The echoes of agreement came one after another, which was the response given by this ragtag group of people.

Surrendering, to put it harshly, means fear of death, but to put it nicely, it means being alert and aware of current affairs. The meaning of Hou Yucheng's words is very clear. Although they surrendered and handed over the surrender certificate, their lives are still not their own. Let them form a new army and turn around now to fight Leiyin Temple.

If you survive, your life will truly be yours, and you can also join the Hou family.

To be honest, joining the Hou family is not a good thing in the minds of these people at the moment. For them, life-saving is the first priority. Perhaps most of them are not optimistic about Hexi, and are even more optimistic about Leiyin Temple. Confidence, but at the moment the form is stronger than the person, agreeing is a knife, not agreeing, it is also a knife.

If you don't agree, you'll have to take the stab now. If you agree, at least the stab can be postponed. What if there are any new changes or Hexi wins?

From the moment they received their investment certificates, they had no choice!
Hou Yucheng knew what they were thinking and shook his head slightly. He did not expect these people to be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time. The main thing was not to cause trouble to himself. As for what these people were thinking, he Don't care.

"Go to Jiuchi County and deliver the order to deal with all the prisoners of war in the same way."

"Subordinates obey!"

Watching the messenger leave quickly, Hou Yucheng's expression became slightly gloomy.

According to the normal method, after conquering these places, as long as preliminary management is carried out, and time passes slowly, these warriors, as long as they are not die-hard loyalists of Leiyin Temple, can be gradually persuaded to be used by the Hou family.

The problem is that these are not normal times.

The total number of prisoners of war in the five cities of Jiuchi County is nearly 30. These people are all successful warriors. Even if they don’t have weapons, they have to use a large number of soldiers to take them into custody. Such dispersion would be extremely detrimental to the subsequent battle.

"There are 30 prisoners of war in the five cities. Counting [-]% of those who are unwilling to surrender, this new army can at least be around [-]. This new army has all submitted certificates of surrender. Even if the retreat back to Leiyin Temple is cut off, If we don’t expect them to help, at least there is no possibility of causing trouble, and, maybe, it can also work wonders!”

A faint light flashed in Hou Yucheng's eyes, and he turned his head to look northeast.

"Brother, as long as the work is over there, even if all nine cities in Pengkang, Jiuchi, two counties and seven counties fall into the hands of me, Hexi, at that time, Hou Fei, Gao Cheng, Gao Hu, Hou Ying, Hou Cun, Su Li, Nie Xinliu seven We have troops and horses to guard the border, and we can advance or retreat. If Leiyin Temple wants to take back the Nine Cities, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

Hou Fei led 20 Chiyan troops to the west of Jiuchi County, Gao Cheng and Gao Hu led 50 Zhaoyang troops to the west of Pengkang County, and Hou Ying and the other four each led 20 Zhaoyang troops to the west border of the two counties. So far, there has not been any When the news comes back, it means that the reinforcements from Leiyin Temple have not come yet. There are no reinforcements. Unless there are some powerful characters in Pengkang County, it is no different to just rely on the 30 Disha Monk Soldiers to stop the 30 Red Flame Army led by the eldest brother. Idiots talk about dreams.

Hou Yucheng, who was full of confidence in his eldest brother Hou Yuxiao, seemed to have seen that all two counties and seven counties had been obtained, and the expression on his face gradually became excited.

........................

In the evening, Pengkang County, which should have been peaceful and peaceful, was already covered by the thunderous sound of fighting. The red clouds in the sky were not the result of the setting sun, but the reflection of two red clouds of rich blood that stretched for twenty or thirty miles.

"The city gate has been breached. A small group of soldiers and horses will follow me to climb the wall, and the rest will attack the city!"

"Don't let them enter the city, stop them for me."

"Kill..."

"The bald donkey in Jizhou wants to occupy my lower Yuan Dao. I'm dreaming!"

"Brothers, follow me."

………………

Under the city gate is filled with Gang Qi and True Qi, as well as Zhenyuan Shen Yuan. The Red Flame Army and the Earth Demon Monk Army, with a combined number of more than 60, are not completely intertwined, but the bloody ones in the front row are The fighting has reached a fever pitch.

As a steady stream of soldiers came up behind each other, the two armies completely merged and fought together. In the end, it was only a matter of time.

The monstrous sea of ​​flames from the Red Flame Army and the Buddhist golden light from the Earth Demon Monk Soldiers, followed by the angry shouts of the generals, took turns in the fighting area. The soldiers of the two armies had similar cultivation levels. In terms of number, they obviously occupied the county and city side. There were more Disha Monk soldiers, but even under such circumstances, the tendency of the Red Flame Army to advance into the city was still obvious.

"Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed by me without mercy!"

Wu Yuan shouted angrily, almost roaring to tell the army not to retreat, but now he was facing a battlefield with more than 60 fighting troops. Although his cultivation in the Xuanyin realm was good, under the suppression of Qi and blood, he could not retreat at all. It cannot be used at full strength, so the deterrent effect is really limited.

"Aren't you going to run away and wait to die? The Red Flame Army is so powerful that they themselves can't withstand it."

"Leiyin Temple clearly dragged us to our death!"

"Hexi is the boundary of our Xia Yuandao. The Hou family and we have always been in harmony with each other. If Leiyin Temple hadn't gone south, this battle would never have been fought."

"The Earth Demon Monk Soldiers can't stand it anymore. We can't wait to die. Run!"

………………

Hearing the sound of defeat from below, Wu Yuan's face turned red, and he almost regretted his previous operation of drawing the warriors in the city to defend together.

The Red Flame Army is the elite of the Holy Land. He expected that he would not be able to defend the city with 30 Earth Demon monk soldiers, so he recruited disciples from the city, as well as some casual cultivators or warriors from other forces to come and defend the city together. At least there were more than [-] people. , and his troops suddenly surpassed the Red Flame Army attacking the city. He was quite proud of it before.

Now when a fight breaks out, there are more troops, which turns out to be a bad thing.

The disciples of Leiyin Temple were fine, not to mention the Disha Monk Soldiers. The problem lay with the casual cultivators or the warriors from other forces in the city. Even if Wu Yuan knew that there must be people from Hexi who were deliberately shouting to disturb the morale of the army, there was nothing he could do. solved.

After all, their defeat was real!

Those casual cultivators could see the defeat, so no one would suspect that this was Hexi's trick. As long as someone really started to run for their lives, they would follow immediately. The chain reaction caused by this would be simply Just fatal.

The originally loyal disciples of the temple also began to flee. Even if the most elite Disha monk soldiers were not defeated, their morale was affected by the noise and movements. They were already struggling to support themselves in the hands of the Red Flame Army. Seeing it, it also began to collapse rapidly.

Pengkang County is really going to be lost!
No, that's not right, it's still possible to hold on.

Wu Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, a hint of horror suddenly flashed in his pupils.

In mid-air, a [-]-foot demon ape martial spirit, holding a huge long stick filled with black energy, kept waving at the five golden lights surrounding him. Those golden lights were clearly the senior monks of Leiyin Temple. , They each display their martial arts, and they are teaming up to deal with the fierce demon ape martial spirit.

As long as the five sages can defeat Hou Yuxiao, Pengkang County cannot be lost!
Seeing that the battle above was still going on, Wu Yuan suddenly woke up, turned his head and shouted to the Disha monk soldiers below who were still struggling to support themselves: "Disha monks, stay here for a while longer, just wait for the five venerables to defeat Hou Yuxiao. The red flame army will become like birds and beasts and scatter."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, before he could see the morale of the Disha Monk Soldiers recovering, a domineering and solemn laughter came from mid-air, which not only extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart, but also made him feel a little nervous just now. The Disha monk soldiers, who had improved, fell into complete despair.

"Just the five of you can defeat me, hahahahaha!"

The Demonic Ape Martial Spirit in the sky, like a madman, suddenly placed the long stick above his head, and suddenly swung it around. The monstrous wave instantly penetrated the surrounding space, and strong winds raged within hundreds of miles, and the long stick turned into The black shadow swept across the raging spiritual storm, sweeping away everything around him.

The five golden lights that had just surrounded the Demon Ape Martial Spirit were struck instantly, and five muffled sounds came from them. The originally bright light dimmed a lot in an instant.

"Five Buddhas, even the World Honored One can't be sent out. It seems that Leiyin Temple is in really big trouble this time. As a result, Jianye Mansion really can't accommodate it. You bunch of bald donkeys!"

Hou Yuxiao's sneer made Wu Yuan, including the five great sages, tremble violently.
