Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 153 Shocking Surprise
Hailing City, the intersection of the central main street!
The elites of the Sui army, led by Xiao Ying, Dugu Feng and the twelve monk guards, continued to fight fiercely, but they were like being stuck in a quagmire, with little progress and few results!
There's no way, the Shangliang Army has no moral principles...

Using countless shield soldiers to surround and trap Xiao Ying and others resulted in half the effort and twice the results, and was very costly, which was obviously very low in cost-effectiveness.

"Dang! Dang! Dang..."

Seeing that the army was blocked and it was difficult for his side to achieve brilliant results, Xiao Ying was about to order a temporary evacuation. Once the Sui army from the south arrived, it was only a matter of time before the Shangliang army was defeated. It would not take too long, so there was no need to rush!
The clear and piercing sound of the retreating gong suddenly rang out...

Countless soldiers who were in confrontation and fierce fighting were startled. After listening carefully, they found that the sound of the golden gong for retreat came from the Shangliang Army!
Given the current stalemate, rather than a chaotic melee, the arrival of the golden gong is indeed strange. Is it necessary for the Shangliang Army to withdraw? Where should they retreat? Are they abandoning the defense line?!
Not to mention the Sui army, even the Shangliang army was confused. They were not fighting on the front line and were already on the defensive. How could they evacuate?

"Click..."

Xiao Ying swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, breaking the shield in front of him again and knocking the shield soldier away. Then he held the halberd horizontally, frowning and staring.

Dugu Feng, the Twelve Monk Guards, Xie Yingdeng who was sniping and assisting from a distance, and even generals such as Wu Changqing and Shen Buhui who were far away, all stopped and ordered the army to pause, watching the development of the battle situation.

In terms of the overall battle situation, the Sui army basically stopped at the southern city defense line and stopped charging frantically. However, occasionally, a general or warrior would try to attack the Liang army's defense line, but they were repelled one after another.

“Snap! Snap! Snap…”

The dense and continuous sound of metal rubbing and heavy footsteps arose, and countless Shangliang soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons took action...

The countless shield soldiers who had originally surrounded Xiao Ying and others withdrew in an orderly manner, retreating more than a hundred meters away.

Looking down from a high place, one can see that the Shangliang Army, which was originally densely distributed on the north-south defense line in the middle of Hailing, retreated hundreds to several hundred meters like a tide and partially gathered.

The Shangliang Army did not completely withdraw. After all, they had been driven all the way to the northern city area. They had nowhere to retreat to. Should they withdraw from Hailing City?
After a while...

The countless shield soldiers who were still densely crowding in front of Xiao Ying and others scattered to the left and right, leaving a passage several meters wide.

The stunningly beautiful and alluring Yin Wan'er, with her fair hands resting on the shoulders of the distraught Shangliang Army's Young Master Shen Lun, walked in front...

Following them came the people from the Demon Sect, Sun Shihan, Yin Qian, Jiang Yuanchao and other high-ranking members of the Shangliang Army, and then the heavily armored Tianmen Guards and the elite soldiers of the Shangliang Army!

"My fellows! I am Sikong Sun Shihan..."

Seeing King Jingwu and others coming into sight, Sun Shihan, who was second only to Yin Wan'er and Shen Lun, spoke again and repeated what he had said before in the City Lord's Mansion. His voice spread over dozens of miles and echoed in half the city!

"What have we done wrong? What have our people done wrong? We are originally the people of the Great Sui Dynasty. Now that the Sui army has arrived, they are tolerant and benevolent, and are willing to accept our surrender!"

In fact, Sun Shihan could have simply "falsely conveyed the king's order" and promised the Sui army that they would treat the Shangliang army well, which would have made it easier to persuade them to surrender.

However, Sun Shihan and others were obviously cautious and did not dare to make any rash promises in front of King Jingwu. After all, they did not know what King Jingwu was thinking and how he would deal with the Shangliang Army.

"..."

Whether it was Xiao Ying, Dugu Feng, the Twelve Monk Guards, etc., they all looked at Yin Wan'er and other people from the Demon Sect and the high-ranking officials of the Shangliang Army who were obviously detained in silence, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The Sui army from the south hasn't arrived yet, is it going to end?
In the minds of Xiao Ying, Dugu Feng, and the others, the Demon Sect had always been seen as a supporting force, providing intelligence, muddling the people, and disrupting the enemy. They paid some attention to it, but they didn't take it seriously, at least not to the point of relying on it! Unexpectedly, the Demon Sect had given Xiao Ying and the Sui army a big surprise: they were able to capture the top brass of the Shangliang Army and force them to surrender...

The effect of this move is comparable to that of thousands of troops, and can even be compared to the Sui army from the south that is about to arrive!
I didn't see Shangliang Wang Shen Faxing, but I guess...

Nine out of ten times, he's dead!

Blood Demon Picture:
Main deities: 7 (Wang Tong, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Yuchi Gong, Yang Guang, Chen Shushen, and Shangliang King Shen Faxing)
Deputy Gods: 1173

Little God: 18,283 people

Mao Shen: 43,372 people

Blood Star: 620,000
Xiao Ying took the time to pay attention to the "Blood Demon Picture" and immediately discovered that the star soul of Shangliang King Shen Faxing had brought the number of star souls at the level of a righteous god to seven!
One more, "Blood Demon Picture" will unlock unknown new features!
Based on Xiao Ying's understanding of Shen Faxing, he does not think that Shen Faxing is qualified to be one of the righteous gods. He is obviously inferior to the first six righteous gods in all aspects.

His cultivation level, abilities, and combat power weren't top-tier, probably only at the third rank. He wasn't a renowned general or renowned figure, and he had led the Shangliang Army to a desperate end...

From any perspective, he is not worthy of being a true god. The only thing worth praising is his status and position!
Just because he is one of the "36 Rebel Kings" in the world today, with an army of over one million, and is one of the three kings of Jiangnan, you can imagine how high his destiny is.
The last point is that although the battle was short, the "Blood Demon Map" had nearly 200,000 more star souls. It is estimated that most of them were soldiers of the Shangliang Army, and nearly half were civilians of Hailing who were affected. The casualties of the Sui army were about one-tenth. You can imagine how tragic and bloody the battle was!
……

"Prince Jingwu! I have fulfilled my mission!"

While Xiao Ying was lost in thought, Yin Wan'er smiled broadly, staring at Xiao Ying with her beautiful eyes like stars as she spoke repeatedly. Her expression of pride, excitement, anticipation and the desire for credit were clearly visible.

"Uh……"

Xiao Ying's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a moment. Then he forced himself to smile and replied, "In this battle, Miss Yin and all of you deserve the greatest credit! You should be promoted for your merits, or receive an equivalent... reward. This king and my army are clear about rewards and punishments, and everything... can be discussed!"

The Demon Sect is the Demon Sect after all, so Xiao Ying didn't dare to speak too confidently.

However, in front of the army, especially with countless Shangliang soldiers watching, this huge contribution must be recognized and rewarded!

Just looking at the performance of Sun Shihan, Liu Ziyi and other high-ranking officials of Shangliang, who were close to the Demon Sect, and the angry and hateful reactions of Shen Lun, Jiang Yuanchao and others, it is not difficult to guess that the Demon Sect members were trying to incite Sun Shihan, Liu Ziyi and others to kill the King of Shangliang in one fell swoop and capture the young master Shen Lun and the important official Jiang Yuanchao.

If this matter gets out, it will surely shock the world. It is unexpected that King Liang's ending is so miserable!

The Demonic Sect is indeed very capable of secretly infiltrating and bewitching people.

Although Xiao Ying was confident that he had the "Blood Demon Map", he was not very afraid. If the Demon Sect dared to send talents to him, Xiao Ying would dare to accept them. He would not accept the untalented or useless ones.

We just need to be cautious and not promote people randomly, ask for too many or too high honors, etc., so as not to affect the morale of the military and civilians and the reputation and prestige, and make people mistakenly think that the Demon Sect has replaced the Buddhist Sect, and the Sui Army has become a demon army or a demon kingdom!

Yin Wan'er seemed to see what Xiao Ying was thinking, and she said playfully with a sweet laugh:
"Hehe... I promised Young Master Shangliang that as long as he surrendered and persuaded the army to surrender, I would spare his life. He could even serve as a general or minister to the Sui Dynasty. He still has a future. What do you think, Prince Jingwu?"
