Chapter 843: Chapter 360 The Fall of Su Country_3

And one step at a time, they pushed back, gradually gaining the momentum to drive the defenders off the city wall.

In this manner, with the sacrifice of a thousand more lives, the entire part of the South City wall could be retaken.

The situation appeared to be very favorable for the Su Army.

But that was only the case for the South City.

…

In the West City, Han Liang, clad in white armor, had a yard-long Jade Symbol floating behind him, casting beams of white light, ceaselessly striking the surroundings.

Wherever the white light touched, every Su People Soldier that it grazed trembled and then their bodies grew cold, quickly losing their vitality.

As he strolled along, the Jade Symbol’s white light spread wherever he passed, and soon, hundreds of corpses of Su people lay atop the city walls.

Countless Chu State Forbidden Army soldiers followed him from more than ten steps behind, rapidly occupying the entire West City.

The Su People Soldiers in front were crying out in terror, fleeing in panic.

…

East City.

A massive blue tiger leaped and dashed across the city walls, leaving a trail of blood and gore in its wake, line after line of Su People Soldiers fell on the wall, turning it into a sea of blood.

The tiger, transformed by Han Hu, roared, terrifying countless Su people to cry for their fathers and mothers, throw down their armor, and flee down the city.

…

North City.

A cloud of five-colored mist spread over the city walls, and wherever it went, Su People Soldiers fell, their faces turning blue-black as they were already devoid of breath.

The Ten Thousand Poison True Qi, which had vanished from Jianghu for more than a decade, reappeared in an instant to become the most terrifying thing in the world, reviving the infamous reputation of the Five Poisons Holy Maiden.

Even the following Chu Army soldiers, tasked with taking over the city, felt a chill in their hearts as they saw the horrifyingly dead enemies on the ground. Gazing ahead at the drifting and intangible five-colored mist, their steps involuntarily slowed, increasing their distance.

Such scenes, akin to a slaughter, were being enacted on all four sides of Yulin City’s walls at this moment.

Just as Queen Lan Cai’er had said.

With Su Xuange alone and tens of thousands of his broken troops daring to hold out in this isolated city, this was fundamentally a path to certain death.

Now that her four Inborn Grandmasters were launching a fierce assault, Su Xuange, who lacked Wu Anhou’s Inborn Second Realm Strength, was unable to defeat the enemies on one side of the city walls in a short time and then swiftly assist another front.

The Su Xuange who was firmly tied down to the South City by Li River could not only not defeat the enemies in front of him, but also was completely incapable of hindering the Inborn Grandmasters on the other three city walls.

Now that Lan Cai’er and others had slain their way atop the city walls, hundreds upon thousands of Su Army Soldiers were easily slaughtered, not having a single enemy that could match them in a fight.

In this situation, within two or three days,

Once all the brave Su Army soldiers had perished and the remaining were killed until their bravery was shattered, Yulin City would be breached.

…

On the twenty-seventh day of the second month in the eleventh year of the Shenwu era,

The Commander of the Chu State’s Southern Expedition Western Route Army, Queen Lan Cai’er ordered the army to divide into four and simultaneously attack the Su Country’s Yulin City, while she supervised the battle.

That day, the sounds of killing filled Yulin City as Inborn Grandmasters slaughtered tens of thousands of troops.

In the end, the Ning Army fought valiantly, paying the price of over ten thousand casualties, barely repulsing four Inborn Grandmasters and holding onto the city.

But by midnight, the Chu Army was still lighting fires and beating drums, ferociously attacking the city, refusing to retreat even in the face of death.

After a night of fierce fighting, another four thousand-plus Ning soldiers perished.

By the second day, the Chu Army, having rested for a night, led by the four Inborn, once again personally commanded the siege.

The Su Army, having fought through the night, was utterly exhausted and was quickly routed.

Left with no choice, Su leader Su Xuange again went into battle, fought the Queen of Chu, and blocked the Chu Army at North City.

However, before even a moment had passed, in the east, west, and south of the city, the other three Inborn Grandmasters of the Chu king had already crushed the few remaining Su soldiers atop the city walls, easily seizing control of the city and opening the gates.

Yulin City, after holding out for just over a day, fell thunderously under the siege of the four Inborn and an army of more than two hundred thousand.

Afterwards, Han Liang, Han Hu, and Li River rushed to North City quickly to support the Queen.

In the end, the four combined forces, after half an hour of intense fighting and at the cost of minor injuries to the two Han generals, beheaded Su leader Su Xuange at the top of the city.

A heroic figure ultimately fell to his fate.

With the death of Su Xuange, Su Country no longer had a pillar of support, and in light of their stubborn resistance and refusal to surrender, their crimes were considered.

Following the breach, the Commander of the army, the Queen of Chu, ordered the extermination of the Su Family to the ninth degree of kinship and the cleansing of those of Nine River Sword Sect descent who were direct descendants of Su Country, as a warning to others.

From that day, Yulin City ran with blood for three days as countless members of the Su Family and remnants of the Nine River Sword Sect were captured and beheaded beside the sullen waters outside the city.

Thousands died, their heads and corpses fell into He Nei, clogging the Li River.@@novelbin@@

And through this purge, the remnants of Su Country were almost completely eradicated.

From the time of Pre-Yue Hongdao’s establishment of the country in the seventh year, sixth month, and second day, to the fall of the country on the eleventh year of Shenwu, the second month, and twenty-eighth day, Su Country’s reign ended completely, having enjoyed fourteen years of rule.

The alliance of three families that established the country together saw Su Country, with its Inborn Grandmaster, fall first—before Southsea Country—brought to an end ahead of time.

Since the military campaign began last year, after half a year of battle, the Chu Army officially annihilated a nation, achieving their greatest victory and securing a foothold in Lingnan.

When this news spread, Song Country, which was right next to Su Country, instantly panicked, shaking the entire nation with fear.

Song leader Xie Ning hastily conscripted a hundred thousand civilian workers and gathered the remaining eighty thousand soldiers in the country to move north and station at Zhennan Pass, the gateway of Song Country, planning to hold the strategic pass and block the great enemy.

But his panicky comportment was destined to be just self-deception, unnoticed by others.

For, just as Song Country was dreading the oncoming Chu forces, the very Chu Army they feared had already turned their guns and marched east to Southsea.

In the third month of the eleventh year of Shenwu, at the beginning of the month, after conquering Yulin and extinguishing Su Country,

the Queen of Chu cleaned up inside Su Country and arranged for defense, then followed the orders given by the King of Chu beforehand, leaving ten thousand soldiers and Han Hu to guard the two commanderies of Su Country, warding off Ning Country.

The remaining army, led by Lan Cai’er, proceeded with an army of a hundred and fifty thousand, advancing eastward to Southsea to meet up with Qingyunzi’s forces.

Now, inside and outside of Southsea City, the combined forces of Southsea and Ning Country, with fifteen thousand soldiers and two Inborn Grandmasters,

Qingyunzi’s contingent, after suffering casualties in successive battles and dispatching troops to various locations, had fewer than a hundred and twenty thousand soldiers available for siege and attack on the city.

And likewise, they had only two Inborn Grandmasters.

With such strength, conquering Southsea City would indeed be a difficult task.

Therefore, they summoned Lan Cai’er’s western army to join forces in the east, to attack Southsea City together.
