Chapter 461 455. Divide the troops into four groups
In less than an hour, the more than 1,000 "army" carefully assembled by the Malulu Kingdom was completely wiped out, with only a few timid ordinary foot soldiers surviving.

Of course, none of the state-run soldiers were spared, and most of them died in the initial rain of arrows along with the leader of the Mulu State. A few survived and tried to command a counterattack when the Han army pressed forward, but unfortunately, such a conspicuous target was naturally a great military achievement for the Han army, and the surviving state-run soldiers were easily beheaded by the Han army.

And none of the servants that the ruler of Mulu had invited at great cost and through coaxing and deception surrendered. Even when they were forced into desperation, they chose to commit suicide.

Bao Yi ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The Han army naturally did not want the broken weapons, so they burned them together with the corpses in a big pit.

After dealing with these, Bao Yi led the 3,000-man army and headed straight for the city of Mulu. This was not Bao Yi's own decision, but Feng Xi's order. Feng Xi told Bao Yi not to stop after defeating the army of Mulu, but to go directly to Mulu City.

Although Bao Yi didn't know the reason, he thought that Mulu City should not be a strategic place. Even if there were defenders, there would probably be only a few hundred people. He could still easily take it down on his own.

Facts have proved that Bao Yi still overestimated the current level of the Japanese island. When Bao Yi arrived at the city of Mulu, the dozen or so corpses hanging on the broken wooden door and the large orange-bottomed Chinese flag fluttering in the wind showed that this place had been controlled by the Han army.

Bao Yi was led by the soldiers in the city to the former state mansion. It must be said that the state lord of Lu State was more enjoyable than the state building. Although they could not build a two-story building at this time due to technical limitations, the state mansion had a separate stone wall and a courtyard.

Bao Yi followed Feng Xi's personal soldiers and walked a few steps into the house when he saw Feng Xi carrying the bed, table and chairs over.

"Grand Commander, I have fulfilled my mission and annihilated the entire army of the Mulu Kingdom, killing more than 1,100 enemies and capturing more than ten people."

Bao Yi bowed, Feng Xi smiled and waved his hand, and said to Fu Rong beside him:

"Well, Yi Zhong, I told you, with only a few thousand soldiers, Bao Yi can handle them in less than a day without even having a meal. You don't need to go there in person."

Fu Rong, who was standing by, remained expressionless and just nodded.

It turned out that Feng Xi had divided his troops into two groups earlier. He asked Bao Yi to stop the manpower of the Mulu Kingdom, while he personally led the army to take Mulu City via another slightly longer route.

This Lucheng cannot even be compared with any random county town, let alone Yecheng or Luoyang, which are famous strong cities in the world.

In Feng Xi's memory, the only things that could be compared with Mulu City were the cultural relics and historical sites in later generations that looked like the ruins of a city.

The city of Mulu was built on a hill with almost no slope using earth walls and weak stone walls. The Han army did not even use any siege tactics. The broken wooden door used as the "city gate" was even opened by Feng Xi with one shot. The old and weak guards holding bamboo and wooden spears immediately knelt down and surrendered after Feng Xi killed several of them. No one dared to resist.

Feng Xi was also quite decisive and immediately went straight to the state palace. How to identify which is the state palace? Just find the most luxurious one.

Without saying anything, Feng Xi hanged the entire family of the ruler of the Mulu Kingdom and hung their bodies on the city gate. After all, he had quite a grudge against them, so why not cut the grass and leave it for himself to celebrate the New Year?

The situation in the city was unexpectedly good. After the Han army entered the city, no one dared to resist. Every household stayed indoors and did not dare to confront the Han army. As for those who wanted to defend the Kingdom of Mulu to death? There was no one, not to mention being loyal to the king. There was no way, the reality was like this. The king of Mulu was not a wise man, and he oppressed his people on weekdays. In addition, the war was raging in the Japanese islands at that time, so it was not uncommon for a city to change hands several times, so everyone was used to it.

Fu Rong had previously felt that Bao Yi was facing off against the main force of the Mulu Kingdom. Since Feng Xi and his men had captured the enemy's hometown, it would be better for him to lead an army personally to attack Bao Yi from behind to prevent any accidents.

However, Feng Xi naturally knew the opponent's combat effectiveness, and also knew that Fu Rong was used to being cautious, so he said that just now.

"Bao Yi, it has been two years since you joined our Han army from Jiangling City with Bao Feng and Sanniang. You have fought against both the Wei army and the Wu army. Tell Yi Zhong what you think of the Japanese soldiers?"

Feng Xi also asked Bao Yi to talk about his feelings about this incident, mainly to Fu Rong.

"Yes, Grand Commander. Excuse me, these people on the Japanese island are more like temporary conscripts than soldiers. There is almost no military discipline on the battlefield. When attacking, they rush forward in a swarm, and when they are defeated, they act on their own.

To be frank, even if I only have 500 sword and shield soldiers this time, I can defeat them."

Bao Yi's face was serious, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Yi Zhong, relax. A great man once said that we should despise the enemy strategically and take him seriously tactically. Didn't I arrange three times as many soldiers to meet the enemy this time? We should be careful in the future, but there is no need to treat them as Cao Wei's elite troops."

"Xiu Yuan does have a point. But what if it is just the Lu Kingdom that is so vulnerable?"

Feng Xi was just taking this opportunity to tell his old brother to relax. Fu Zhu nodded. He was not an inflexible person, but he still felt that if the other countries were not like this, wouldn't they be in trouble?
Feng Xi smiled faintly and ordered the guards to call Ma Su, who was still busy counting the harvest, to come and prepare to assign a new round of tasks.

"Meet the Grand Commander."

When Ma Su entered the room, he saw that in addition to himself and Feng Xi, Bao Yi and Fu Rong were also there, and he knew that there must be something important. Compared with when he first came to Jingzhou, Ma Su has become much more stable now, and he has led troops independently many times. He is no longer the young man who only talked about military affairs on paper.

Feng Xi is also very optimistic about Ma Su's future. As long as he continues to be so steady and doesn't get cocky, the Han Dynasty will definitely have one more Confucian general in the future.

"You Chang, find a place to sit first. As you all know, according to the current intelligence, there are five so-called "countries" in the entire Kyushu region, one of which is the Maluo Kingdom. However, now the Maluo Kingdom, from the king to the "national officials" similar to county officials, have been killed. It can be said that this place is now under the actual control of our Han Dynasty.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? I will immediately collect information about various countries. Once I find out the information, I intend to divide my troops into four groups and bring all of Kyushu Island under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty. "

Feng Xi slammed the table with a serious expression.
