The army was defeated like a mountain.

The refugee army's gathered formation suddenly collapsed.

They looked at Chen Shui's death in fear, at the people of Shucheng, and at the silver-armored soldiers carrying swords and guns.

Among the crowd, a militia soldier was the first to throw away his weapon.

Then, there was the second person.

The third person.

Either the war situation was irreversible, or Chen Shui's death was a heavy blow to them.

They shouted in fear, surrendering.

All the migrant soldiers were controlled by the soldiers led by Situ Jin.

This difficult war is finally over.

The people of Shucheng looked at these surrendered migrant soldiers in amazement.

They thought about the death of Du Congsheng just now, and also about the deaths of people they knew in this war.

Perhaps because they had been holding it in for too long, and seeing the mountain collapse with their own eyes, their eyes gradually filled with tears and became blurred.

"Chen Shui is dead, all the refugee soldiers have surrendered, there are no more refugee soldiers in this world!"

The dead cannot be resurrected, as Situ Jin announced the outcome of the war.

They just reacted in a daze.

Yes, Chen Shui is dead, the refugee army is gone, and their struggle was not in vain.

At this moment, the people of Shucheng realized the victory of this war.

After the sadness, they turned their backs and continued to live.

Situ Jin led his troops to search for the remaining refugee forces in Shucheng.

The people of Shucheng did not object to Situ Jin leading his troops into Shucheng.

Mu Shengda was responsible for searching and cleaning the refugee army camps.

With the help of the people of Shucheng, the Shucheng camp was the first to be breached. After interrogating several migrant soldiers, Mu Shengda led his men into the dungeon.

The dungeon was extremely dark. Rats would crawl by from time to time, and the candles on the wall would flicker as people walked around.

The copper lock was opened, and the door of a cell in the dungeon opened.

The man tied to the rack had disheveled hair and did not look up even after hearing the noise.

Black, sticky blood clots were stuck in the hair, and the yellow prison uniform was soaked with dark brown bloodstains.

"Xia Yue, wake up, I'm here."

Mu Shengda was stepping on the bloody straw. He called out several times, but the only response he got was the empty echo of the cell.

Mu Shengda stood there in silence.

The man in front of him had scars all over his hands, and not even a single piece of exposed skin was intact.

He looked at the badly injured man and his expression changed.

He quickly placed his hand under Xia Yue's nose.

This time, there was still no response.

Mu Shengda put his hand under Xia Yue's nose several times, but his fingers were cold.

There was no breath.

The person in front of him had obviously been dead for a long time.

Mu Shengda was no longer calm, his body was stiff and he just stood there motionless.

After a long while, Mu Shengda raised his head.

His hands were shaking as he tried to unlock the cold handcuffs, but he didn't know how to start.

Xia Yue's body was covered with marks, and Mu Shengda didn't know where to touch Xia Yue's body.

He held Xia Yue carefully.

Xia Yue's body was already cold at this moment.

Mu Shengda just hugged Xia Yue and said to himself:

"I told you, don't rush forward so...

You just don’t listen to me…”

……

His tone was broken, and his trembling voice couldn't even form a complete character in the end.

Mu Shengda tried for a long time before he could say the words.

"Sorry, I am late."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at Xia Yue. The tears from his chin fell on Xia Yue's face, mixing with the blood, but he could not melt the black bloodstains.

Mu Shengda carried Xia Yue out of the cell, and bright light came.

Familiar faces gathered outside the cell.

"How is Vice General Xia?"

"Is Deputy General Xia seriously injured?"

"Vice General Xia, he..."

……

Mu Shengda did not say a word. All that greeted them was a corpse.

These militiamen looked silently at Xia Yue in Mu Shengda's arms and gradually fell silent.

They arrived too late.

Mu Shengda took Xia Yue back to his home.

Xia Yue's parents were killed by the migrant soldiers, and now their house is in ruins.

Mu Shengda put Xia Yue down and found two coffins under the collapsed house.

He took a cloth and wiped the blood off Xia Yue's body, then took out a new set of clothes.

Only when Xia Yue was lying in the coffin wearing new clothes did Mu Shengda close the coffin door and leave.

The old gourd was still hanging on Mu Shengda's side, and his back looked lonely.

Alone.

The finalization of Shucheng is still in progress.

Situ Jin led his troops to clear out a lot of refugee soldiers.

At another city gate, Ji Liangsheng fought a life-and-death battle with the silver-armored soldiers, and he did not surrender.

He committed suicide in front of Situ Jin only after he was exhausted and could no longer kill.

All the refugee soldiers here were killed in the battle. Situ Jin looked at the dead Ji Liangsheng with a complicated look.

Anping won the Battle of Shucheng.

In this war, Du Congsheng died, Xia Yue died, countless soldiers and civilians died...

When Mu Qing arrived in Shucheng, he saw countless corpses.

Xia Yue was seriously injured and died from excessive blood loss, while Du Congsheng was killed by a knife.

They all died at the hands of the refugee army.

Mu Qing had no time to calm down his sadness, and he had to reorganize the basic public security and government offices in Shucheng.

The number of refugee troops in the other three cities was small, so Mu Qing asked Situ Jin, Mu Wu and Xiang Quan to lead a team of silver-armored soldiers each to attack.

It was one day later that Wang Gui heard the news of Chen Shui's death.

He is different from Chen Shui. Wang Gui has always followed Chen Shui. Since the news came out in Shucheng that he wanted to replace Chen Shui, Chen Shui gradually distanced himself from Wang Gui.

He even took back all his military power.

Today, Wang Gui is just a figurehead in Guangsha.

Guangsha was the first to be captured. Wang Gui did not put up any resistance, while the acting lord of Guangsha was cowardly and afraid of death, so he opened the city gate and surrendered to Situ Jin.

After Guangsha was captured, Southern Wei was also blown up by gunpowder.

The siege lasted seven days.

Whether it is Daozhou or Guangsha, the people in these two cities are very cooperative.

But the people of Southern Wei regarded the silver-armored soldiers as a scourge, and refused to open the city gates no matter how Xiang Quan tried to persuade them to surrender.

Xiang Quan originally wanted to use gunpowder to break into the city like Mu Wu did, but when he arrived in Southern Wei, he found that the people guarding the city gate were not refugee soldiers but the people of Southern Wei.

This made Xiang Quan hesitant.

After Xiang Quan thoroughly understood the Southern Wei, he discovered that the refugee army in Southern Wei had long disappeared without a trace.

Wei Zhao, the city lord who was originally sent by the refugee army to guard the Southern Wei City, turned out to be a Southern Wei citizen.

Not only did he not help the refugee army, but he quietly dealt with the refugee army he brought with him.

This time Anping sent troops to attack Shucheng. When Wei Zhao received the news, he cleared out all the refugee troops.

Moreover, he did a lot of things to benefit the people during the epidemic, and the people of Southern Wei obviously supported Wei Zhao.

This city was originally under the jurisdiction of the refugee army, but when Xiang Quan arrived, it was no longer under this nature.

When attacking a city or fighting a war, one must have a legitimate reason.

Xiang Quan wrote a letter to Shucheng overnight.
