Chapter 781 61: Infernal Blaze Sweeps the Land! Heads Rolling (Part 4)_2
There were over ten thousand eunuchs in Southern Han, and those who Liu Chang heavily relied upon had learned some Secret Techniques passed down from the Tang Dynasty.
"Borrow a head for a moment!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Li Zhiwen's head flew into the air. Duncan's figure flickered behind him, while the nearby Water Maiden and Fire Maiden wielded fierce sword energy. The Southern Han officers indulging in revelry in the hall didn't even have time to rise before these exotic-looking women beheaded them.
The scent of blood permeated the air.
Only then did the screams of numerous maidservants begin to echo.
Duncan cast a cold glance at the mansion, turned, and ordered, "Those who dare to resist, kill them without mercy."
"Arrange men to confiscate the estate!"
Now without money, soldiers, or food, he had to seize everything.
The entire Qiongzhou City was suddenly filled with the clamor of slaughter. As Duncan watched the fires rising in the distance, his figure leapt a hundred feet, soon appearing before the turbulent military camp.
The officers inside seemed to be talented, managing to restrain the soldiers to hold the camp gates, waiting for dawn.
Great Bumbling Hand!
Duncan struck with a palm, and the camp gate collapsed with a crash. His figure walked into the air, directly arriving above the camp.
"Release the arrows! Release the arrows!"
A burly middle-aged man frantically ordered the arrows to be released, but before the soldiers could react, a massive thirty-meter palm imprint descended from the sky.
Rumble!
Blood spread, leaving meat sludge all over the ground, and the entire camp fell silent.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Yun Zhike cried out while leaping, and soon the kneeling whose surrendered were numerous.
Duncan personally led two hundred Demon Soldiers, taking Qiongzhou within half a day. It wasn't long before good news came from Yazhou. Fu Jianhan beheaded the Supervisor's head, similarly defeating over a thousand people single-handedly and seizing Yazhou and other areas, encountering almost no substantial resistance along the way, with clan uprisings echoing even in Hainan.
Guangdong and Guangxi had long suffered under Liu Chang!
Before dawn, Duncan simply resettled the surrendered soldiers and personally led six hundred men across the sea to Leizhou. The city gates were empty, with only a massive palm imprint shattering the gate tower.
Lu Shanjun was sitting alone on the collapsed city wall drinking wine, with a roast chicken prepared by others beside him.
He ate with grease dripping from his mouth, and seeing Duncan from afar, he laughed, "Those eunuchs can't stand being killed."
"I just took one or two hundred heads, and they obediently surrendered and stayed in the camp."
The city was full of blood, with severed limbs everywhere, along with meat sludge formed by the Great Bumbling Hand.
Lu Shanjun went on a killing spree overnight and remained by the city gate drinking wine at dawn.
"Thank you, Mountain Monarch."
Duncan smiled and nodded, motioning to the nearby experts from the Ming Cult, and soon someone took control of the place. The Ming Cult internally had Five Element Flags, and they knew a bit about commanding troops.
In one night.
The entire Southern Han region was turned upside down. After Duncan's uprising, he arranged personnel to suppress the rear, opened granaries to provide relief for the starving people, confiscated estates, and collected money and resources. Yun Zhike and the others had already thoroughly investigated the local powerful clans and gentries.
Duncan set a stringent target, which was to kill half and spare half, even for those spared, they must first hand over money and food obediently.
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
To put it bluntly, even by killing half and sparing half, Duncan left many loose ends, giving many a chance for repentance and rebirth.
It was impossible to kill everyone cleanly; some people still needed to be used.
Southern Han was in turmoil!
When Liu Chang learned about the Red Army uprising, it was several days later. He hastily ordered the northern army to suppress the uprising, but before the army could fully assemble, news kept coming in quickly.
Once Duncan initiated the uprising, it was a thunderous momentum, advancing by both land and water.
The army progressed from Xuwen Port along the official road to Huazhou, Gaozhou, and other places. He personally led three hundred cavalry to break through twelve towns, and by the time Liu Chang got the news, the vanguard had already reached Foshan, almost the gateway to the southwest of Guangzhou.
Duncan divided his forces, and even with eight hundred vanguard troops, he couldn't gather them, but three hundred cavalrymen directly took the gateway to Foshan.
Expansion of the army was imperative.
The navy went down the Xijiang River, straight towards Guangzhou, seizing Gaozhou, Xinxing, Zhaoqing, and other places along the way.
After taking Ruizhou (Zhaoqing), the entire Xijiang was cut off, directly severing the connection between Guangzhou and the western regions.
Half a month later, the initial eight hundred Demon Soldiers expanded to over ten thousand.
Once the war snowball started rolling, no one could stop Duncan's fierce offensive. Duncan personally led the elite troops straight for the Xingwang Mansion (Guangzhou) gateway, Lu Shanjun cut off the southwestern retreat, and also killed many demon cult experts. Fu Jianhan followed with the navy, frequently encountering formidable enemies along the way, but a mysterious woman dressed in blood-red frequently appeared, successively killing more than ten demon cult experts.
In just half a month, the entire Guangxi region fell, and the gateway to Guangdong was also opened.
The Southern Han was showing signs of collapse.
The eunuch Guo Chongyue stationed in Guilin was directly beheaded by Lu Shanjun, and after his corpse was hung on the city gate, the entire populace of Guilin rejoiced, with some even setting off firecrackers as if it were a festival.
Kill!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The Red Army's uprising was fierce, like wildfire spreading, burning away all worldly sins. Just in Guilin alone, over a thousand corrupt officials, powerful clans, and evil servants were executed. Any resistance was met with confiscation of properties and extermination, leaving them no chance for regret.
