"What news?"

"The Byzantine Empire has gathered 300,000 troops, and it seems that it is preparing to defend our attack!"

"Haha, it's okay. No matter how many of them are, it's useless. It seems that they are the last struggle like the Great Food Kingdom!"

"Now I will also pass the orders to march into Byzantium and strive to capture them in a short time!"

"yes!"

Next, Wu Zhi led a large army to head towards the Byzantine Empire.

More than 100,000 troops, plus logistics supplies, Shenwei cannons, air force, and mortars were given new shell supplies.

Soon they entered the territory of the Byzantine Empire.

As long as you encounter the Byzantine army and city, Wu Zhi will burst into chaos.

If they don’t discuss anything with them, they often attack with such a fierce force, and the opponent will abandon the city and flee.

So in just half a month, Wu Zhi attacked more than a dozen cities on the other side without any destructive efforts.

All food supplies, except those stored by themselves, are mostly food from the city.

When the enemy fled, they had no time to take away all the supplies, and they all made Wu Zhi and their army free of charge.

Wu Zhi was not stingy with gold and silver wealth, and would gather to reward the soldiers.

This led to an unprecedented rise in the morale of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. After all, who doesn’t like wealth? They traveled thousands of miles away. In addition to following Wu Zhi, they also wanted to make achievements, money, fame and fortune, and official positions. Who doesn’t want these?

Wu Zhi gave them wealth, and their morale was stronger and their combat effectiveness was stronger!

Wu Zhi and his army were extremely fierce. Wherever they appeared, the Byzantine Empire army fled.

"It's the army of the Song Dynasty!"

"General, the Song army is here, are we going to fight?"

"If you don't fight, run away. This is a group of crushers. No matter how many of us are, we can't withstand the artillery fire from the Song Dynasty. I know the previous battle reports, and those who don't escape will die.

Your Majesty, we are no wonder. There is no hope for this one-sided war. I still have a family, so I don’t want to die in vain!”

A general who guarded the city said, "If you are willing to follow me, keep up. If you don't want to stay, I will never pursue it!"

"General, we are willing to follow the general!"

"We are wherever the general is. We are all general's soldiers, and we swear to follow us to the death!"

"Okay, then let's go, it's too late not to go!"

The general looked at the Song army in the distance, and without saying a word, he led all ten thousand people who guarded the city to leave the city and fled.

The soldiers under their command ran faster than anyone else. They did not follow the general to the death, but followed the opportunity to escape.

When the people in the city saw that the soldiers ran away, they packed their things and ran together.

"You don't have to escape. The Song Dynasty targeted the Byzantine soldiers. If the people surrender and don't kill them, you can stay here! There is no need to run around and wander around!"

The general left a sentence at the end and led his army away. Some of the people in the city stayed, and some ran away.

And as the general said, Wu Zhi's army entered the city without killing any people, and just took over the city.

As time passes slowly.

The cities were conquered by Wu Zhi like this.

The other party heard that the dozen cities in front of them were defeated, and the Great Food Kingdom had already perished, so there was no confidence.

So every time Wu Zhi goes, he is almost an empty city without any defensive ability.

Some of these people really don’t want to leave.

I also heard that Wu Zhi did not kill the people, so I dared to stay.

But they are fighting for their lives. After all, if Wu Zhi kills people, they just heard that if they kill the city, they are just hearing about it.

If Wu Zhi was furious and had the idea of ​​massacre, they would all be ruined here.

Fortunately, they had a good bet. The Song Dynasty army walked through the city streets, and there were people hiding in the houses, and there was no one on the street.

All the people secretly watched the horses passing by the windows. After more than 100,000 troops passed, the people in the city suffered no losses in their houses.

This means that the Song army did not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Keep them.

This is a very important part of calming people's hearts.

After knowing that the people in the city would not be killed, the people in the city would feel relieved.

I just feel a little sad about this kind of change in my empire and I don’t know where to go or what to do in the future.

In fact, siege is the worst strategy. Domineering can only conquer its body, but not people's hearts. Wu Zhi conquered the enemy country, and for future governance, the local people also need to take care of it.

If you kill randomly, the people will run away.

No matter how large the territory is without productivity, it is still wasteland.

Wu Zhi knew this very well.

And he did this, it was indeed useful.

Even if the Byzantine royal family was extinct, if the people knew that the Song Dynasty would have greater benefits for them after taking over, they would not be in turmoil over time.

Moreover, the Byzantine countries and the Great Food countries are actually unpopular. The upper class lives in wealth and the lower class lives in hardship.

Who would like to be such a person?

What the people want is to have a house, a land, a wife and a child, without pressure, and be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

But the people's life is not good, and it is not important to them at all how the king is and whether it is orthodox.

As time passes.

Wu Zhi has arrived in the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

Halfway through the journey, they were intercepted by the other side's 300,000 troops, but were all bombarded by Wu Zhi.

Now the Byzantine Empire has the same fate as the Great Food Kingdom, and they are guarding the city, worried.

It was almost exactly the same as before the Great Food Kingdom.

When Wu Zhi's troops were at the city, the king of the Byzantine Empire decided to escape with Wu Zhi's previous unstoppable momentum and the record of destroying the Great Food Kingdom.

So Wu Zhi had just arrived at the city, and behind the city, all the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops began to evacuate to the rear.

Wu Zhi would not let the remnants run around, so he sent someone to chase him.

The remnants of the Byzantine Empire ran very fast, especially the vanguard troops, which were cavalry teams carrying countless tall carriages, carrying the Byzantine kings, queens, princes, and ministers and nobles with titles.

No matter how brilliant they were before, when the Song army came, they became betrayal dogs and fled everywhere.

There were carriages and cavalry teams running in front, and the remaining infantry could only run wildly behind them.

At first they could catch up with a little bit, but gradually they could only see the back of the Byzantine king's carriage at the end, and in the end they could not see anything.

The Byzantine kings and others would wait for a while in the early stage, but later they simply gave up the infantry.

Because when they borrowed troops and horses to support the Great Food Kingdom, their war horses suffered a lot. At this moment, the golden treasures drawn by the war horses were brought with them, and there were not many horses for the soldiers to use.
