Chapter 186
A city that is not that big and prosperous is suddenly attacked by 500,000 troops. You can imagine how it feels.
"Come here, send a message to Xingguo immediately and order it to surrender and accept the rule of our Xia country. Otherwise, when the city is broken, all the high-ranking officials of Xingguo will be killed without mercy."
Xiang Yu didn't want to waste time and directly gave the enemy an ultimatum.
Although it is not difficult for the Zhenbei Army to attack such a city, it is also a waste of time. After the war, order must be restored, which is a troublesome matter.
It is in the best interests of the North to win without fighting and accept the enemy's territory and troops.
Xingguo, the King of Xingguo has learned about the invasion of Xiaguo in the luxurious palace he built.
"Tell me, how can this disaster be avoided?"
The King of Xingguo was overwhelmed. This was simply a disaster from the sky. He was originally enjoying his life and did not provoke anyone, but Xiaguo targeted him first.
If the alliance of countries does not unite, it is impossible for them to be the opponent of Xia. This time, it is obvious that Xia is serious. It does not care about Liang and Jin at all, and does not give them time to prepare. It directly sends 500,000 troops. This is a life-and-death moment.
"Your Majesty, the generals of Xia have announced that as long as we surrender, everything will be fine. Otherwise, when the city is broken, we will be beheaded."
No one among the ministers is willing to fight. It is meaningless to try to stop a car with a mantis arm, not to mention that you have to sacrifice your own life. Isn't that a fool's behavior?
It doesn't matter who you are with. At most, you can act according to the circumstances in the future.
"Can the Xia people be trusted?"
The Star King hesitated. Here, he is supreme. Once he surrenders, his current status and rights will be gone.
Let alone this, the Star King is worried that the Xia people will break their promises and kill him at that time. It will be easy, and there will be no place for reason.
"Your Majesty, at this point, we have no chance to choose."
The Star King was awakened by a word and sat down helplessly.
Yes, there is no choice at this time. Fighting is definitely a loss, and they have also made it clear that if they dare to fight, the top leaders of Xingguo will die.
If they don't fight, they still have a chance to survive. At least most people still have hope of survival. Therefore, no one wants to start a war, that would be courting death.
But the Star King himself has many concerns. He is the king. If Xiaguo regrets, he will be the first to die.
"Why don't we evacuate and seek refuge in Qiyun Country?"
The Star King doesn't want to gamble, so he can only choose to run.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The Alliance of Nations seems to be united, but in fact they are all independent. As long as there is a chance, there will be no one to help in times of trouble, but there will be many people who will take advantage of the situation."
"If we go to Qiyun Country or other places, I dare to be sure that we will be like sheep entering the tiger's mouth and will not have a good end."
They know very well what kind of people the Alliance of Nations are, because they are such people themselves.
As soon as this was said, everyone was speechless.
"Forget it, order the army to give up resistance, and all the ministers follow me out of the city."
King Xing knew that what everyone said was right, and he also knew their concerns and considerations. He did not dare to delay any longer, fearing that Xia would launch an attack at any time, and then he would be powerless to save the situation.
Soon, the gate of Xing'an City opened, and under the leadership of King Xing, Xing surrendered.
Xiang Yu was very satisfied with this, and he also guessed such a result.
"General, my Xing is willing to surrender, and please treat my Xing people well."
King Xing knelt down in humiliation and declared surrender. At this moment, the people of Xing felt relieved. If nothing unexpected happened, ordinary people like them would not have to die.
"I, Xiang Yu, accept the surrender of Xingguo on behalf of the Northern King of Xia."
"Xingguo King, please lead all the ministers to the northern border immediately and accept the arrangements of His Royal Highness the Northern King. Everyone else should perform their duties."
"Xingguo army, immediately get ready and follow this general. This general will leave 20,000 Zhenbei troops to defend Xing'an City. Please rest assured, people of Xing'an City."
The top leaders of Xingguo must not stay here. Xiang Yu will not trust them. As for the army, they must be taken away. Not only can they strengthen their combat effectiveness, but also eliminate unstable factors.
With 20,000 Zhenbei troops left behind, it is enough to ensure the safety of Xing'an City.
Xingguo King did not dare to object. After making corresponding arrangements immediately, he set off for the northern border under the escort of Zhenbei troops.
Xiang Yu did not stop either. After making arrangements, he took the 50,000 troops of Xing'an City and continued to set off.
Xiang Yu wanted to attack the Jin Kingdom. There were a total of four or five cities in the alliance countries that he had to deal with along the way.
Xiang Yu's next target was Liuyun Country, which had two cities and was stronger than Xing Country, with more than 100,000 soldiers.
What happened in Xing Country spread quickly, and Liuyun Country also got the information.
Although shocked by Xia Country's sending troops, Liuyun Country made a completely different choice from Xing Country.
"Order all the troops and civilian warriors to rush to Liuyun City. I will never surrender to Xia Kingdom like that bastard Star King. "
The roar of King Liuyun was heard in Liuyun City.
King Liuyun thought he could not give up everything and serve others as a slave.
Liuyun State had 100,000 regular troops and tens of thousands of warriors. He did not believe that with the solid city, he could not stop the attack of Xia State.
King Liuyun believed that as long as he could stop the attack of Xia State, it would not take too long, just seven days, and the people of the alliance of other countries would definitely support him.
After all, the death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn. King Liuyun did not believe that others would dare to sit idly by, otherwise his fate today would be their tomorrow.
King Liuyun was very confident and even ambitious. As long as he could stop the attack of Xia State, he would definitely enhance his prestige. It would not be impossible for him to surpass Qiyun State in the future. There might even be a day when he could unify the alliance of all countries.
Xiang Yu soon knew about the choice of Liuyun State.
Xiang Yu was not surprised by King Liuyun's choice. These guys had been surviving in the cracks for many years, always holding a fluke mentality, and at the same time had the illusion that they were their real They had to rely on their strength to maintain their position.
They didn't know that this was a buffer zone left by the game between several major countries. Otherwise, any country could easily destroy them.
Xiang Yu was not polite to the ignorant King Liuyun. He didn't even send people to persuade him to surrender. He directly prepared to attack. If he didn't teach the alliance a lesson, these guys would not be honest.
So, the Zhenbei Army took action.
As soon as Xiang Yu arrived at Liuyun City, he began to prepare for the siege without stopping for a moment.
King Liuyun was not stupid enough to go out of the city to fight hard. For him, as long as he defended Liuyun City, he would win.
However, in the face of powerful strength, King Liuyun's little thoughts were destined to fail.
The Zhenbei Army showed a strong attacking ability. With the assistance of various siege equipment, they quickly attacked the city.
Even Xiang Yu felt that it was too slow, so he took action himself and destroyed the gate that King Liuyun thought was indestructible with a few blows.
The Zhenbei Army rushed forward and completely tore open the defense of Liuyun City.
