Chapter 639 Royal City Privileges
The defenders of Longcheng began to be defeated on a large scale. Priest Quan led the few surviving priests to prepare to break out under the protection of the guards. However, the dazed high priest suddenly woke up, waved his hand and pushed Priest Quan away, looked at the temple army that was still fighting bloody battles, and said in a trembling voice: " Priest Quan, you are still young, and you still have a chance. You go first. I, a bad old man, was born in Dragon City, and I hope to die in Dragon City!"
"High Priest!!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and shouted loudly.
"Stop it, Priest Quan. From today onwards, you will take over as the High Priest of Shamanism. You are farsighteder and more courageous than me. I am relieved to entrust this position to you. Just according to your idea, contact the surrounding tribal armies and send this The Han army is trapped in Dragon City. How can Dragon City be so easy to occupy?!"
The high priest suddenly became excited and hissed angrily.
"High Priest!!!"
"Go, if you don't go, it will be too late. If possible, please help me take care of Puqing!" As he said, the emaciated body of the high priest suddenly began to swell, and his gray beard became black and shiny. kind of light.
With tears in the corners of Priest Quan's eyes, he nodded heavily. This is a sign of life sacrifice using the advanced forbidden technique of shamanism. Given the physical condition of the high priest, using this forbidden technique is almost certain to die!
"Prairie athletes, follow me to the bloody battle to the end!!!"
At any rate, the high priest has been the supreme leader of shamanism for decades, and his prestige is still quite high. With his roar, many Xianbei soldiers who had already started to run turned back to the battlefield.
Many Xianbei priests who were going to follow the Quan priest to evacuate from Longcheng also roared, imitating the high priest to launch life sacrifices, and started to countercharge with the high priest.
"Praise of life!!"
After using Life Sacrifice, the ability of the High Priest improved linearly, and the casting time of advanced spells such as Praise of Life was greatly reduced, and the strength of the Templar soldiers who were still persisting with a wave of their hands immediately increased greatly.
The high priest let out a roar, and his muscles were so knotted that his loose sacrificial robes were torn apart. Holding the scepter upside down, he swung it fiercely, smashing the head of a Pingzhou cavalryman with one blow. Waving the scepter, the shadow of the scepter is heavy, leading the priests who also sacrificed their lives to repeatedly charge and kill in the army, it feels like an enemy of ten thousand people!
However, all struggles are in vain. The explosion of the high priest could not change the whole situation of the battle. At least three top historical generals, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Tai Shici, followed him and rode their horses to kill him.
The white horse and the silver spear flew towards him, and with a wave of the gentian spear, the high priest raised his staff to resist. After one blow, the scepter came out of his hand, and looking back, the spear pierced the high priest's throat, and the high priest of Xianbei - died in battle!
Three strikes, five divisions and two divisions, Zhao Yun killed several Xianbei priests who exploded. Seeing this, Dian Wei and Wei shook their heads helplessly, and rushed towards the still resisting Temple Legion.
At present, on the battlefield, the only remaining Xianbei army that has taken the magic pill is the Temple Legion that is still holding on. The rest have either been defeated and fled or are retreating with the spring priest.
A quarter of an hour later, the last few thousand soldiers of the Potion Temple Legion were wiped out under the joint strangling of six top generals, and there was no longer any organized resistance in front of the City Lord's Mansion!
"Evil, you bring 20,000 people to garrison here, and kill any Xianbei people who dare to offend. Yanchen, you lead the flying phoenix fire cavalry to chase down the fleeing Xianbei people, and Huchen, you lead 10,000 greedy wolf cavalry to assist Yanchen. Ziyi, take 10,000 people to capture the nearby Xianbei Shaman Temple, and after controlling the temple, don't let anyone leave. Others, follow me to capture the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Everyone shouted in unison, looking excited. For half a month, I have traveled 20,000 miles, eating and sleeping in the open, and the reason for this moment is not it?
There was basically no organized resistance force in the city lord's mansion, and the scattered remnants of soldiers did not even need Shang Ji to take action. Naturally, the soldiers responsible for cleaning up would kill them.
Soon, a group of people appeared in front of Dragon City City Heart!
Although Dragon City is very watery as a royal city, the heart of a city at the level of a royal city is genuine.
The heart of the city, which is several feet high and nearly two feet wide, stands tall and looks quite spectacular.
Shang Ji waved his hand, and the army immediately launched a siege to the heart of the city, and the sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, pong, ping, pong, ping, pong, ping, ping, pong, ping, ping, pong, ping, pong, ping, ping, ping, pong, ping, ping, ping, ping, pong, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, pong, and pong, the army immediately launched a siege to the heart of the city. Even though the soldiers of Pingzhou had amazing fighting power, it still took half an hour to really crush the heart of the city!
"Ding, congratulations to player Shangji, the troops you led successfully smashed the heart of the royal city-level city Dragon City. You can choose one of three ways to deal with it: destroy, occupy, and abandon!"
"occupied!"
Although he had already decided to destroy Dragon City in the end, Shang Ji still planned to conquer Dragon City for a while. People living in Longcheng, especially the inner city area, are either rich or noble among Xianbei. With such a piece of fat and oily meat in front of them, it is impossible for Shang Ji not to eat it.
"Ding, because Dragon City is a king-level city, it enjoys the privileges of a king-level city. After testing the area under your actual control and the forces belonging to you within the scope of Dragon City, a comprehensive analysis of the time required for your occupation is one month. During this period, you cannot use Any buildings in the Dragon City cannot issue any city orders, and the Xianbei people will immediately regain the ownership of the Dragon City if they break through the heart of the city again within a month!"
"Friendly reminder: Increasing your troops can quickly and effectively reduce the required occupation time, and the minimum time can be reduced to one day. Do you continue to choose to occupy?"
Hearing this system prompt, Shang Ji suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"No, choose to destroy!"
"Ding, because Dragon City is a king-level city, it enjoys the privileges of a king-level city. After checking the area under your actual control and the troops belonging to you within the scope of Dragon City, the time required to choose to destroy it is 15 days. During this period, you cannot use Any buildings in Dragon City cannot issue any city orders, and if the City Lord’s Mansion is lost during the period, it will be judged that the destruction has failed. If the army that breaks through the City Lord’s Mansion is the Xianbei Army, the Xianbei Army will immediately regain control of Dragon City.”
"Friendly reminder: Increasing your troop strength can quickly and effectively reduce the required destruction time, and the time can be reduced to one day at least. Do you continue to choose to destroy?"
Shang Ji chose no expression expressionlessly, and tried the last waste option.
"Ding, do you choose to abandon Dragon City? Once you confirm this option, Dragon City will enter a state of abandonment. Because Dragon City originally belonged to Xianbei, the Xianbei army reoccupied Dragon City within half a month. Thirty percent, if it exceeds half a month, you will not enjoy this right."
Seeing that Shang Ji's expression gradually turned solemn, all the generals also realized that something was wrong, and looked at Shang Ji one after another.
"My lord, what happened?" Zhao Yun asked aloud.
Shang Ji sighed and explained the situation to everyone one by one.
The generals fell silent immediately after hearing the words, no one knew that a city at the level of the royal city still had such privileges. Occupying a city usually only needs to break through the heart of the city, but when it is the turn of the king city, there is still an occupation time judgment!
Originally, according to the original plan, they occupied the city, plundered it for three days, then destroyed Dragon City, and then left. Taking advantage of the destruction of Longcheng and the low morale of the Xianbei army, they returned to the army to join the main force led by Zhang He, and attacked back and forth to wipe out Ke Bineng's main force in one fell swoop, ending the war.
In three days, even if the surrounding tribes reacted, the Pingzhou army could calmly break through by relying on their tyrannical strength.
But if the time is extended to one month, Shang Ji is very worried that he will face tens of millions of Xianbei troops who have gone crazy!
Choosing to be deserted can solve this problem, but Shang Ji is not reconciled! Abandoning the Shangji, you can't get a hair. Although it will cause Xianbei to bleed, it is not worth mentioning compared with the benefits brought by the destruction.
Not to mention that destroying Dragon City will bring a terrifying amount of basic materials and massive construction blueprints, a mere City Heart of King City level is enough to make Shang Ji salivate!
Although Pingzhou is also a state in the administrative division of the Han Dynasty, in theory, the Pingzhou Mu of Shang Ji is at the same level as Lu Zhi's Bingzhou Mu and Han Fu's Jizhou Mu, but in the eyes of the aborigines, it is not the same thing at all. .
In addition to Pingzhou's vast land, sparse population, and barren culture and education, the most important point is that Xiangping, the state government of Pingzhou, is only a giant city-level city!
Thanks to the money spent by merchants, Xiangping has a strong momentum of development. As long as it has the heart of a city at the level of a royal city, Xiangping can be promoted to a royal city within three years, making Pingzhou truly qualified to compete with other prefectures. On an equal footing!
Moreover, a city at the level of a royal city has extremely strong strategic significance for the development of the entire Pingzhou, which is enough to make Pingzhou's heritage climb several steps in a row.
Pingzhou with a huge city and Pingzhou with a royal city are completely different concepts.
After changing his expression several times, Shang Ji clapped his hands fiercely, gritted his teeth and chose to destroy!
"Ding, player Shangji, you have successfully chosen to destroy the king-level city Dragon City. The countdown to destruction has begun. The remaining time is 14 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 54 seconds!"
At the end of the system notification, a huge countdown sign appeared next to the heart of the city, clearly recording the remaining time required for destruction.
Seeing the countdown, the generals knew Shang Ji's plan immediately, their hearts tightened, and they were ready for a bloody battle.
"Send an order to my brother to immediately send troops to guard the exits of the inner city, and not allow any Xianbei people to enter or leave the inner city. Carry out a comprehensive cleansing (looting) of the outer city, set aside five days, and complete the cleaning within five days Work, give up the outer city after five days!"
"The generals of each army quickly complete their duties. Tonight, a military meeting of the senior generals of the entire army will be held to discuss specific countermeasures together!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Although the incident was a bit unexpected, it was not enough to dampen the fighting will of the Pingzhou Army, and all the generals shouted in unison with full fighting spirit.
"My lord, something has happened!"
However, just as everyone finished talking, a schoolboy came quickly and said in a flustered expression.
Shang Ji knew this person, he was a school lieutenant under Tai Shici's command.
"What's the matter? Ziyi encountered fierce resistance in the Xianbei Temple?" Shang Ji frowned and asked in a cold voice.
The captain's face was full of confusion, he couldn't speak, and seeing Shang Ji's impatient expression, the captain gritted his teeth and said: "The situation is a bit special, please move to the Xianbei Temple to have a look, my lord!"
