Chapter 58
58 Chapter 58 chasing King Zhou
The slave soldiers around him didn’t know how to ride horses, so Xia Pingan easily snatched a horse from the military governor. Riding on it, he followed the main Army and charged towards King Zhou’s Army.
On such a battlefield, it was easier for people to understand the true meaning of the phrase “an Army defeated like a mountain.”
What was like a mountain collapsing?
It was like a domino effect on the battlefield.
The collapse and defection of the slave Army directly collapsed King Zhou’s regular army behind them. The moment King Zhou’s vassals started to run away, the entire Army of King Zhou broke up with low morale.
King Zhou’s 5000 catapults then collapsed. After the catapults, the strongmen who were strong enough to lift a cow and throw a stone turned and ran.
The 18 Giants held the burning wooden stakes in a daze, then turned around and ran.
In Muye, King Zhou’s Army collapsed before they even came into contact with King Wu’s Army. There were people running everywhere, and King Wu’s Army followed behind the slave soldiers.
The rule of the Shang Dynasty, which had been passed down for more than 500 years, suddenly collapsed in the wilderness outside Zhaoge city in the face of the slave soldiers.
Seeing the Army collapse, King Zhou of Shang’s flag and carriage began to retreat toward Zhaoge city.
Xia ping ‘an was riding on a horse, chasing after King Zhou’s flag.
The dagger-axe had already been thrown away by him. Instead, he grabbed a copper sword and a whip. He galloped on his horse, holding the sword in his left hand and the whip in his right hand. He chased after King Zhou’s retreating flag.
At this point in the fusion of the realm beads, Xia Pingan felt that he had already finished acting in the historical drama of the betrayal.
He chased after King Zhou of Shang’s flag because he wanted to see for himself what King Zhou of Shang and Su Daji, who could bring chaos to the world, looked like. He wanted to satisfy his historical curiosity.
At the same time, he also wanted to try and see if he could maximize the benefits of the slave soldier realm Pearl and create another perfect absorption.
He had heard before that although the slave soldier realm bead was the easiest to fuse, the abilities of the slave soldiers summoned by different Summoners were different, with some being strong and some weak.
Therefore, he could still take a gamble now.
Xia ping ‘an waved his long whip and long sword. Along the way, those who dared to attack him were all whipped in the face by the long whip in his hand or cut down by the copper sword. They fell to the ground screaming.
At this time, only a few people dared to stop and wave their blades to the back.
Most of the deserters had left their backs to the pursuing Army. There were too few who dared to turn around and face the raging tide. Those who could not run had directly jumped into the river in Muye or knelt down to surrender.
“The martial King has ordered that whoever kneels and surrenders will be spared from death.”
King Wu’s subordinate, Lu Wang, and the cavalrymen led by Lu Wang shouted from behind. Their voices spread throughout Muye, and the last bit of resistance in King Zhou’s Army quickly dissipated.
The bronze longsword in Xia Pingan’s hand only managed to cut a few people. After knocking against the armor twice, the bronze longsword bent and the blade was broken.
Xia Pingan threw away his bronze sword and only used his whip to whip the horse, closely chasing after King Zhou’s flag.
He saw that there were several javelins in the bag that the throwers had left on the ground in front of him. When Xia Pingan galloped past them, he pulled out his long whip and rolled it around the bag.
There were a few javelins in his backpack.
On the road ahead, a giant of King Zhou of Shang stayed behind, waving a burning wooden stake in his hand to snipe the pursuers behind him.
The giant was too terrifying. The wooden stake in his hand was like a pillar. It was four to five meters long and was still burning.
The giant waved the four to five-meter long wooden stake in the air, making a whistling sound and sending sparks flying. With just one swing of the wooden stake, the cavalrymen on the martial King’s side would be smashed into meat paste along with their horses or sent flying more than ten meters away.
A few people who were close to the giant were directly grabbed by the giant and their heads were bitten off.
The cavalrymen’s horses were afraid of fire. They did not dare to approach the burning and waving tree stumps.
For a moment, the road was in chaos. The giant’s angry roar could be heard. It was one against ten thousand.
Xia Pingan galloped on his horse and pulled out a javelin. From thirty meters away, before he could even get close to the giant, he threw the javelin at the giant with the momentum of his horse.
The giant’s target was huge. Xia Pingan’s javelin pierced through the giant’s stomach and sank two feet into it. The giant screamed in pain and the burning wooden stake in his hand fell to the ground. His legs bent and his huge body knelt on the ground.
The giant pulled out the javelin on his body, glared at Xia ping ‘an, and threw the javelin at Xia ping’ an.
It was just that the giant was not good at using these delicate weapons of ordinary people. The javelin was more than a meter above Xia Pingan’s head, and with a gust of evil wind, it turned and flew 100 meters away.
When the martial King’s chariots saw that the burning wooden stake in the giant’s hand had finally fallen to the ground, they rushed forward. The soldiers on the chariots raised their Spears that were four to five meters long and stabbed the giant’s body.
In the blink of an eye, the giant’s body was covered in blood and he fell to the ground.
Before the giant fell, Xia ping ‘an had already bypassed the giant and continued to chase after King Zhou’s flag.
The armors, carriages, and flags abandoned by King Zhou’s Army were all on the way from Muye to chaoge. The flags of the nobles, which used to be high and mighty, were left on the road for others to trample on.
King Zhou and his men fled into the city. Before the gate was closed, the pursuing soldiers swarmed in. The soldiers guarding the city ran away, and no one cared about the gate anymore.
The entire Zhaoge city was in chaos.
King Wu’s cavalrymen had already rushed into the city and were shouting everywhere, ” King Wu has ordered that only the King of Haechi can kneel and surrender. Those who kneel and surrender will be spared from death!
Xia ping ‘an rushed into Zhaoge city on her horse, heading toward Lutai.
Lutai was the most magnificent Super Palace in the world that King Zhou had built with the help of the entire country, over seven years, countless slaves had died, and countless money.
The entire Deer Terrace Pavilion was more than 2000 meters in length and width. Its back was against the Taihang Mountains. The interior of the Deer Terrace Pavilion was a collection of rare treasures from all over the world. There were strange rocks everywhere, vines and mushrooms growing, green bamboo rustling, and pine and Cypress towering into the sky.
In the center of Deer Terrace Pavilion, there was a huge platform that covered an area of more than 100 mu. On the platform, there was a seven-story building that was luxurious and indescribable.
Xia ping ‘an, who had rushed into Deer Terrace Pavilion, was also stunned by the magnificent scene. At this moment, he finally understood why there was such a record in ” historical records “: thick taxes to cover the money of Lutai.
Deer Terrace Pavilion was a place where all the wealth in the world was gathered for people to have fun.
Inside Deer Terrace Pavilion, there were Palace maids and eunuchs running for their lives everywhere. Those exquisite objects, beautiful jades, and precious jewels were scattered everywhere.
The guards had long disappeared.
Seeing the armed Xia Pingan charge into Deer Terrace Pavilion on his horse, the palace maids and eunuchs all screamed and fled in all directions. No one dared to come forward. Everyone only cared about running for their lives and taking away the money and treasures in Deer Terrace Pavilion.
……
In the chaos, when Xia Pingan rushed to the seven-story high platform in the core area of Lutai District where King Zhou was, The Magnificent Seven-story high platform had already been covered with flames and thick smoke.
On top of the highest building, a crazed figure was laughing in the midst of the fire and smoke. The figure was dressed in pearls and jades, drinking fine wine while sprinkling fine wine, jewels, and silk on the raging fire around him.
“Hahaha, die with me, die with me!”
King Zhou’s wild laughter came from the tall building.
That’s King Zhou?
Through the blazing fire, Xia Pingan still couldn’t see what King Zhou looked like, nor did he see Su Daji.
What a pity!
The fire on the balcony was too big. Xia Pingan grabbed a javelin beside him and threw it at King Zhou’s figure in the fire and smoke.
The moment the javelin was thrown into the fire and smoke, before Xia Pingan could see if he had hit the target, the entire world of the realm Pearl shattered at the same time and turned into a mist of light.
