Chapter 130 Entering the Southern Qi Imperial City: Qin Wu's Absurd Decision
Jianggu City.
"Your Highness, we just received news that the battle in the capital of Southern Qi will be decided in three days at most."
Liu Feng reported this to Qin Wu.
After ten days of fierce fighting.
The capital of Southern Qi is now a scene of devastation.
Because of this turmoil, nearly 60% of the wealthy families in the capital were wiped out.
Especially after the original Jianggucheng army entered the city, it was a completely indiscriminate attack.
They kill anyone who isn't part of the royal family, especially members of clans, whom they treat with complete indifference.
The final result was that all the clans united, wanting to wipe them out first.
The royal family, who were initially at a disadvantage, regained the upper hand after the addition of hundreds of thousands of troops.
The two sides fought almost daytime battles and assassinations at night.
The extent of the tragedy can be imagined.
The fierce battle that lasted for more than ten days brought both sides to the brink of defeat.
Ultimately, the winner will be determined by who succumbs to the pressure first.
"The time has come. Men, convey my order: assemble the entire army."
Upon hearing this news, Qin Wu knew the time had come; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Upon hearing Qin Wu's order, the guards outside immediately hurried away to relay it.
An hour later.
The 400,000-strong army has been assembled.
Qin Wu led his troops directly towards the capital of Southern Qi.
After two days of marching, Qin Wu led an army of 400,000 to the capital of Southern Qi.
This capital of the Southern Qi Dynasty, which has stood here for hundreds of years, should have been prosperous and thriving, but now it is in ruins.
Even outside the city, there were many corpses scattered everywhere.
This shows just how fierce the fighting has been here over the past ten days or so.
"Your Highness, shall we enter the city?"
Qi Ye looked at the open city gate in front of him.
"Send someone in to check the situation first, just in case we fall into a trap."
Qin Wu shook his head.
Even if he now knows some of the situation in the city, he will not take the risk.
"Yes."
Qi Ye accepted the order and went to make the arrangements.
Soon, several hundred-man squads rushed into the capital of Southern Qi.
An hour later.
Someone came back again.
"Your Highness, there are no ambushes in the city, but we have discovered that fighting is still taking place in many places."
"The main battlefield is in the capital of Southern Qi, and the clans are now joining forces to attack the capital of Southern Qi."
"It seems that the imperial city will be breached soon."
The soldiers recounted everything they had discovered.
"Okay, continue monitoring."
"Qi Ye, take men to control the city gates."
Qin Wu gave the order.
Those people probably don't know about their arrival yet.
But it doesn't matter, let them fight first.
"Yes."
Qi Ye accepted the order, mustered his men, and entered the city directly.
The army quickly took control of the city gates after entering the city, but news of their entry soon spread throughout the city.
However, at this point, it was impossible for the Southern Qi clan to stop the war.
The two sides had already fought fiercely, and it was too late to back down. They knew it was all over.
After Qi Ye occupied the city gate, he immediately sent people to thoroughly search the surrounding area. After finding no ambushes, he then notified Qin Wu.
Qin Wu did not hesitate any longer and led his troops into the city.
As he passed through the city gate, he realized why it was wide open; both gates had long been broken and scattered on the ground.
He was speechless. He had thought there might be some scheme behind the city gate, but... that was it.
The entire army of 400,000 entered the city.
Qin Wu led his men directly towards the imperial palace.
Along the way, there were ruins and corpses everywhere.
The entire capital of Southern Qi was turned into a living hell, which shows how fierce the battle was.
Half an hour later.
Qin Wu finally arrived outside the palace with his army.
At this time, the clan army had already breached the imperial city and was fighting fiercely inside.
"Your Highness, should we just charge in?"
Han asked again.
"What's the rush? Just watch."
Qin Wu sneered, "Why are we charging in now?"
Why not wait until they've finished killing them?
The clan also received the news.
"What? You arrived so quickly?"
An old man was greatly surprised.
They paid such a high price because they wanted to quickly capture the imperial city and then use it as a base to fight a decisive battle against Qin Wu.
But I didn't expect Qin Wu to arrive so quickly.
"Yes, patriarch, they are already outside the imperial city."
The middle-aged man's words were tinged with fear.
They originally intended to close the city gates first, but unexpectedly Qin Wu arrived and quickly took control of the imperial city gates.
They are now like turtles in a jar.
"Haha, after fighting for so long, we've only ended up benefiting others."
The old man suddenly burst into laughter.
No matter how much they scheme, what's the use?
It's no longer under their control.
Even if they wanted to stop the war, the royal family would never stop.
"The Divine Martial King arrived so quickly; it's likely all part of his scheme!"
"I never imagined that after living for decades and scheming my whole life, we would end up being schemed against by others."
Another old man in a green robe sighed.
They noticed something was wrong when the army returned from Jianggu City, but they didn't know exactly what was wrong.
After all, the capital was in chaos, and much intelligence had been cut off from the outside world.
They didn't have time to investigate the reasons before they were already embroiled in a major battle.
The battle, which has lasted for more than ten days, is still not over.
Now that the Divine Martial King of Eastern Qin has arrived with his troops at the most critical moment, they have finally understood.
They were all outmaneuvered.
It's not that they don't want to contact the outside world, but that all their intelligence has been intercepted.
Intelligence can't get out, and it can't get in.
This prevented them from obtaining intelligence from the outside world.
This was also something Qin Wu had arranged in advance; he couldn't allow intelligence from the capital of Southern Qi to leak out and disrupt his plan to conquer the entire Southern Qi.
However, he also paid a heavy price.
Many of the secret guards and imperial shadow guards died in battle.
But it's all worth it.
"Kill! Go mad!"
A middle-aged man roared.
The situation is now settled, and they have no choice but to continue fighting.
"Send someone to contact the Divine Martial King! See if there's any way out."
The old man who spoke first gave instructions to the messenger.
Since they cannot stop the war now, they can only see if they can surrender to the Divine Martial King and find a way out for their family.
"Yes."
The middle-aged man accepted the order and headed towards the palace gate.
"Let the strongest make their move and quickly take down the royal family."
The old man gave another instruction.
Subsequently, all the powerful figures from the four major clans made their moves.
outside the palace.
"Your Highness, the clans have already gone all out, and the Southern Qi royal family probably won't be able to hold out for much longer."
Qi Ye reported this to Qin Wu.
"Let's go, it's time for us to finish up."
Qin Wu said calmly.
After waiting for so long, it's finally their turn to take the stage.
After giving his instructions, Qin Wu led his troops directly into the imperial city.
As for those sent by the clans who wanted to surrender, Qin Wu had them killed long ago.
drop?
Qin Wu was determined to annihilate them; how could he possibly accept their surrender?
Moreover, these clans have deep-rooted foundations, which is not conducive to their taking over the entire Southern Qi dynasty.
It would be better to just wipe them all out.
He led his army directly to the Southern Qi court.
At this time, the clan and the Southern Qi royal family were engaged in a final battle.
Just when things were getting intense, they heard noises outside.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked outside the main hall.
Before long, a young general in silver armor led his men into the main hall.
"Oh? You've stopped? Keep fighting! I'm just here to watch the show."
A mocking voice came from the silver-armored young general.
Upon hearing the newcomer's self-identification, everyone instantly recognized him as the Divine Martial King of Eastern Qin.
The strongest person in the world today.
"The Divine Martial King".
An elderly member of the Southern Qi royal family roared through gritted teeth.
"Keep your voice down, I'm not deaf."
Qin Wu said impatiently.
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he walked to the dragon throne and sat down.
"Come on, everyone, continue. Let me see the strength of Southern Qi."
Qin Wu looked at the Southern Qi royal family and clans and said jokingly.
They didn't take anyone seriously at all.
This infuriated the people of Southern Qi.
Those present were all powerful figures from Southern Qi; when had they ever been treated like this?
"Make your move, or you'll die immediately."
Seeing the angry stares of the Southern Qi people, Qin Wu immediately rebuked them in a cold voice.
At this point, everyone could no longer hold back.
"kill him."
A middle-aged man could no longer contain himself and charged at Qin Wu with his knife.
He was fast, but someone was faster. When he was less than ten meters away from Qin Wu, he was sent flying backward.
It crashed directly into the main hall.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
"You overestimate yourself. You dare to lay a hand on the prince?"
Qi Ye stood in front of Qin Wu and snorted coldly.
That's right, it was Qi Ye who made the move just now.
The person who made the move just now was the patriarch of one of the four major clans of Southern Qi, and also a late-stage Grandmaster.
However, he was clearly much weaker than Qi Ye, a half-step Grandmaster.
He couldn't even withstand one of Qi Ye's moves.
"It seems you're not going to do it yourselves. Then don't blame me."
"Kill all the men, cripple the women."
Qin Wu gave the order impatiently.
"kill."
Qi Ye and the others had been waiting for Qin Wu's orders for a long time.
Now that Qin Wu has given the order, they immediately take action.
Half an hour later.
Only about thirty female warriors remained, forced to kneel on the ground.
"Take men and capture all the women in the palace! After everything is over, bring them all back to the capital for me."
"I've heard that brothels are profitable, and I haven't been able to find a suitable candidate until now.
Qin Wu finished speaking.
The female warriors kneeling below all stared wide-eyed at Qin Wu.
They never expected that the regent of a country would say he wanted to open a brothel and send them there.
This is an insult to them, but now their mouths are gagged, they can't speak, and can only struggle.
"By the way, pass on my order: any member of the Southern Qi clan who attempted to assassinate me will have their property confiscated and their entire clan exterminated, in accordance with my rules. Remember, leave the women behind."
Qin Wu continued to issue orders.
Many of the women below fainted from anger at Qin Wu's orders.
Even those who weren't dizzy were struggling frantically.
