My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 322 - 159: Conquering Deng Feng, Stabilizing Lai State_6
The first batch of officials leading the way, the generals left the city to meet the white-robed figure on a white horse who had been waiting for a long time.
"General Chen! Don’t attack the city, don’t attack the city!"
"We surrender!"
"We surrender!!"
"..."
The city was completely plunged into chaos.
Countless soldiers from Qing Country streamed past Deng Feng, afraid that if they left the city even a moment later, they would miss the chance to surrender.
Only Song Hongbiao and a few other trusted generals were still hesitating, but their eyes were also unsettled.
"Hahahaha!"
At that moment, Deng Feng suddenly laughed mockingly at the sky until he was out of breath, then with a trembling voice, he yelled at the heavens:
"I, have lost!!!"
Watching the crowd flow past him like a tide, he, a man full of martial prowess, found no opportunity to employ it, and was completely enveloped in a feeling of despair so intense, it nearly suffocated him.
He closed his eyes, his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade clanged to the ground, and then, drawing the general’s sword from his waist, he was about to strike at his own neck.
It was this action,
that incredibly brought the chaos within the city to a halt.

"General!"
"No, General!"
Song Hongbiao and a few close generals rushed forward, encircling him: "General! If you must die, kill us first!"
"Deng Qingtian?!"
The civilians were also stunned.
They couldn’t understand why opening the city gates to surrender would lead Deng Qingtian to prefer suicide.
The reason they were desperate to surrender was simply to save their own lives; they had never considered causing General Deng to die.
After all, General Chen Sansi had promised that if the city were surrendered, whether generals, civilians, or soldiers, none would be killed; if no one was to die, why not surrender?!
Why must it come to this?!
"Mr. Deng!"
"No, Second Master!"
In an instant, both civilians and soldiers alike knelt down, and suddenly, no one was running towards the city gates anymore, as if they had forgotten about surrendering to save their lives.
"You all want to surrender, so go surrender, what do you want from me!"
Deng Feng’s eyes were bloodshot: "For six generations, the Deng family has been loyal to Daqing, how could I, Deng Feng, be a treacherous, shameless traitor? If I don’t kill myself, how can I face my ancestors!"
"Boom—"
His Gang Qi erupted, directly blowing several of his subordinates away.
He was about to act against himself.
A voice rang out.
"General Deng, why speak such words!"
Appearing were a general in a white robe riding a white horse, swiftly arriving. Accompanying him were two other generals, Sha Wenlong and Cui Congyi who also achieved Great Success in the Profound Image Realm, along with the Hu Ben Army and the Xuanjia Army, completely surrounding them.
The faces of Cui Congyi and the others were still filled with shock.
Just a short while ago,
they even had their weapons drawn, ready to take down Chen Sansi’s withdrawing troops.
Then, at the same time, they received the news.
Zhaotong Prefecture City was in chaos, and the East City Gate had been opened!
After they led the troops in, they encountered no resistance, and thousands of Iron Armor soldiers surrendered and laid down their weapons!
Chen had really done it!
The once impregnable Zhaotong Prefecture City had, unbelievably, surrendered overnight. Moreover, it seemed that the Main General, Deng Feng, had not intended to surrender, but he couldn’t control the complete chaos within the city!
With Deng Feng’s prestige, it was unimaginable that the situation had developed this way!
Why?!
Just because last night, Chen Sansi had sent a group of surrendered soldiers to sing all night and then shout some words?
Clearly!
The content of the shouts was basically no different from what they had been saying before; why did it work when Chen Sansi said it, but not when they did?!
Now, the vast majority of the generals were under control, and the entire army had entered the city, stabilizing the situation.
That is to say, Zhaotong Prefecture had been taken!
In the final moments, when it seemed almost impossible, they had surrendered!
Cao Fan had become somewhat numb; at this moment, as a member of the Imperial Family, a distinguished Prince, he even hesitated to open his eyes to look at this general of similar age to himself.
Sorely ashamed!
"Chen Sansi!"
As he watched the overwhelming force of Dasheng Iron Cavalry approaching, Deng Feng couldn’t help but burst out cursing, "You despicable villain! Using such a lowly tactic to trick the city gate open, what kind of skill is that, why don’t you lead the assault yourself, you..."
As he cursed, he himself felt it was pointless.
Because he knew in his heart.
This was not some conspiracy or trick; it was an overwhelming force, a trend he had personally experienced as unstoppable!
This general, barely eighteen or nineteen years old, actually knew how to use a magic skill that had never appeared on the battlefield before!
He had underestimated him after all.
Enough!
The city gate was already breached, and the civilians inside would not be involved; further talk was useless, death was the only way to apologize!
"General Deng!"
Chen Sansi quickly ordered, "Cui Congyi, Sha Wenlong, you two control him immediately, don’t let him commit suicide!"
"As you command."
Now that Zhaotong Prefecture City had surrendered, Chen naturally remained the commander, and his orders must be obeyed.
"You two fools, coming to die?!"
Deng Feng’s eyes bulged with anger, and with a stamp of his foot, he grasped the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade again; ferocious Gang Qi bursting like formidable dragons, he prepared to strike at the two men.
"Deng Feng, how dare you!"
Cui Congyi coldly chided, "Are you planning to rebel after surrendering? Planning to let your subordinates die with you!?"
"You, you!"
Deng Feng knew that alone, even if he could defeat Cui Congyi and Sha Wenlong, he would be injured, and with thousands of troops behind them, most likely he would implicate his remaining subordinates and civilians.
In other words, resistance would not recapture the city but would only lead to the slaughter of its citizens.
Confrontations between High Realm Martial Artists are decisive.
In a few breaths’ time.
Sha Wenlong and Cui Congyi had already rushed forward, holding Mystic Iron Chains specially designed for High Realm Martial Artists, enveloped in Gang Qi, they pierced through tens of Deng Feng’s acupoints like black pythons, finally even locking his scapula, completely controlling him.
In such a state, even a Meridian Passage Realm martial artist could be restrained.
Under the immense pain, Deng Feng only grunted, not letting out the slightest scream.

"Take him away!"
Cui Congyi ordered the two Minor Meridian Passage assistant generals, "Guard him well!"
