Chapter 57
Wu Wei reaped a lot of rewards after eating a wave of obstacles and a wave of benefits that were sent to him.
Spirit crystals and dual experience points are secondary. The key is that the captured coalition forces can expand another wave of troops.
Wu Wei was not polite to those who were unwilling to surrender. He killed them all and got a batch of killing experience and spirit crystals.
Others who were willing to surrender also depended on whether Wu Wei thought of them.
There were already enough low-level troops in the army to suppress the rebellion. It was the middle and high-level troops that could really determine the direction of the battle.
So Wu Wei only wanted the third-level and above God-given troops.
And he didn't want any commanders.
These heroic commanders were all descendants of the nobles in the city. They were not very strong and had bad tempers. Wu Wei didn't think highly of them at all, so after getting the God-given troops in their hands, Wu Wei directly dealt with them all.
After the integration, the first and second level troops in the rebellion army did not change, but the number of soldiers above the third level has increased significantly: the number of archers increased by 15,000, and now there are 65,000 in total; the number of great axe soldiers increased by 5,000, and now there are 15,000; the number of light cavalry increased by 8,000, and now there are 28,000;
3,000 swordsmen were recruited to form another team, separate from the 10,200 Long Night Guards;
1,000 new mages were added, and now there are 4,000; the number of knights increased from 600 to 700.
After two battles, Wu Wei's army not only did not lose much personnel, but also increased more than 32,000 troops, which once again improved its overall strength.
Now Wu Wei has more than 230,000 troops in his hands, and the quality is very high, far more capable than ordinary legions.
Not only that, he also captured a city.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to go in and search, and just took away the military rations stored in the city.
There was no other way. Although he made a lot of money, it also delayed him for more than a day, and time became increasingly tight.
Moreover, Wu Wei had a hunch that there must be other obstacles waiting for him ahead.
"All troops, listen up and advance at full speed!"
······
Three days later, Wu Wei led his army to march day and night and passed through three cities.
As expected, the nobles of these cities were also pawns secretly bribed by Grand Duke Lanshi.
Although they knew the strength of the rebellion army and did not dare to confront Wu Wei head-on, they played harassment tactics and tried their best to delay Wu Wei's march.
Wu Wei was indeed affected by them, and his marching speed was really not fast.
The embarrassing thing is that even if he chose to take a detour, it would also greatly extend the time for the army to reach the capital.
The noble coalition also hoped that he would take a detour, so that he could not only achieve his goal, but also did not lose troops.
The angry Wu Wei finally made a cruel decision - attack the city!
Massacre the city!
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
These inner cities are used to peace, and the combat effectiveness of the defenders is far inferior to that of the territory cities in the border. Moreover, there are no legendary strongmen in the city, and even the city walls are not very high. For Wu Wei now, if he really wants to take it down, it actually won't take much effort.
The two legendary warriors and the Flame Night Dragon Knight disturbed the defenders on the city wall, and then Wu Wei's army pressed forward, raining arrows and fireballs to suppress the defenders on the city wall. The extraordinary soldiers concentrated their assault and killed the enemy headquarters, and opened the city gate neatly.······
After some operations, the enemy army was taken away in one wave without even reacting.
Then Wu Wei began to show his iron-blooded means.
It was called a massacre, but of course it was not to kill the civilians in the city.
After the city was quickly broken through with all his strength, Wu Wei's army, while promoting the slogan of wiping out the rebels, found all the managers and nobles in the city, and spared none of them!
Anyway, if they dared to stop the righteous army led by Wu Wei, they would be charged with betraying the kingdom and forming a party for rebellion!
This is a serious crime punishable by death everywhere, and it is justified!
Under the gaze of the people of the city, these"rebel leaders" were taken to the city square, sentenced in public, and beheaded for public display!
That day, hundreds of noble lords' heads flew into the sky.
The square was a river of blood, and I'm afraid it would not be washed clean even after three days.
The next morning, Wu Wei incorporated the middle and high-level God-given soldiers among the captives and continued to lead his troops forward.
Passing through the fourth city, Wu Wei was not polite when he encountered the defenders who dared to harass and stop him, and he attacked the city again.
The same brutal three-day attack, killing all the nobles in the city and making the blood flow like a river! On the third day, passing through the fifth city, it can be seen that the defenders dare not send out harassing troops. It seems that Wu Wei's previous act of slaughtering two cities has indeed scared the nobles in the city. Now they are also hesitating whether to provoke Wu Wei, the killing god.
However, Wu Wei did not give them room for hesitation. Before the defenders had any reaction, Wu Wei had already attacked the city without saying a word!
After slaughtering the nobles of another city, the noble alliance was finally completely frightened.
When passing through the sixth must-pass city, flowers and banners were already hung on the city walls:
"I wish the army to suppress the rebellion and return victoriously!"
Very good, this is the attitude Wu Wei wanted to see.
I believe that no blind guys will dare to try to stop a chariot next time.
The only pity is that due to their influence, Wu Wei's army arrived in the capital a few days later than initially expected.
When he arrived, he learned that Grand Duke Lanshi had broken through the last defenders of the capital and successfully captured the royal city.
Just missing this step, Wu Wei's plan had to be adjusted critically.
After a simple thought, Wu Wei quickly made a decision - if he couldn't be a hero who saved the country or a general who protected the country, he could only learn from Dong Zhuo and use the emperor to control the princes!
