Seeing the good news coming one after another, Cheng Mu laughed heartily.
He ordered: "If that's the case, then go to Shuntian!"
...
Three days later, the army invaded Kaifeng Mansion.
After resting for a few days, the army set out again.
In just half a month, Zhangde Mansion, Shunde Mansion, and Zhending Mansion were successively attacked.
Tens of millions of soldiers from the Ming Empire died in the battle, and the Ming Dynasty was completely reduced to ruins under the flames of war.
This battle was also extremely difficult for Cheng Mu.
Since there are too many enemies, we can only let ghost and god realm experts like Guan Hai and Li Cunxiao take action.
Most of the tens of millions of Ming Empire soldiers died in their hands.
Therefore, the cause and effect surrounding them at this time has become so strong that it has become evil. When ordinary people come close, the evil spirit will enter their bodies, causing their seven orifices to bleed to death.
And those pairs of red eyes were enough to tell that they had not slept for many days and nights.
The night is cool and dark, and inner demons can easily appear.
This is the terrible thing about cause and effect. If your mind is not firm, you will be devoured by your inner demons.
Although Guan Hai, Li Cunxiao and others had firm beliefs, they killed too many mortals, and the huge cause and effect of that day was enough to shake their minds.
Shake and destroy in just a thought.
Fortunately, they were only one Baoding Prefecture away from Zhu Di at this time!
As long as Cheng Mu kills Zhu Di or completely captures Shuntian Mansion.
The national destiny of the Apocalypse Empire has been upgraded, and the huge power of national destiny can wash away the cause and effect on them.
"Regulate the army!"
Outside the city, millions of troops were ready to go.
Guan Hai stood in front of the formation, his blood-red eyes scanning the entire battlefield.
In an instant, everyone was terrified.
At this time, even the enemies in the city were so frightened that they sat on the ground.
"What are you afraid of! Cheer up!"
On top of the city wall, Qi Jiguang was making his final mobilization.
He did not wait for work in Shuntian Mansion and wait quietly for Cheng Mu to arrive.
What he chose was to take the initiative. If Baoding was defeated, what was the point of defending the capital?
The moment Cheng Mu's troops arrived at Shuntian Mansion, the Ming Empire was in a desperate situation.
"Brothers!"
On the city wall, he looked at the people and said sincerely: "Although we will die in this battle, it is the honor of our Ming men to die for our country!"
"We, Ming men, must not let our enemies despise us!"
"The city is here and the people are here! The city is dead and the people are dead!"
This is his Qi Jiguang's attitude!
At this time, there are one million of his Qi family troops and two to three million rangers in the city. He has the strength to fight in this battle.
"Fight...fight...fight with them!"
"Brothers, even if you die, you must die heroically!"
"My...wife is still waiting for me at home..."
"You coward! Don't worry, if you die, your wife will be my wife!"
...
Qi Jiguang's encouragement obviously worked. At least before the war started, the defenders in the city had fighting spirit.
What about the back? That depends on how he manages the army!
"kill!"
The moment the Qi family's military spirit appeared, Guan Hai also gave up the idea of using his ultimate move.
He knew that Qi Jiguang was wary of these powerful men. Since the fate of the country fell apart, these officers and soldiers of the Qi family army were the focus of care.
Generous national luck rewards will enhance their strength to the top.
In other words, with Qi Jiguang personally leading the army, one million soldiers of the Qi family army were already prince-level troops.
In the past, the princely level would have been the pinnacle of combat power in an empire.
This is also one of Qi Jiguang’s important confidences!
Prince-level soldiers can condense the military soul of the middle realm of Shenmen, and he wants to use this to resist the strongest men under Cheng Mu's command.
Unfortunately, now is not the time for the national war to begin.
Every day, every moment, every second, everyone is getting stronger.
When the top-level Pagoda Guards appear on the battlefield, what does a mere prince-level soldier count?
At this time, Guan Hai was about to slap Qi Jiguang hard in the face with the cold reality!
...
"Come on!"
"Kill the enemy for the country! Kill the enemy for the country!"
"Apocalypse Empire! Unrivaled in might!"
This was a temporarily formed army, and Guan Hai named it the Formation Breaking Army. This was because he did not lead the army in person this time, so he selected 500,000 Green Forest Rangers from the Apocalypse Empire.
Soldiers.
Although the number of people is not large, their strength is definitely top-notch.
Especially with the bonus of his god-level bravery, the five hundred thousand second-rate rangers immediately stepped into the first-rate realm.
What is powerful? This is powerful.
As Minister of War, Guan Hai knew very well where his side's current shortcomings were.
Therefore, he tried every means to preserve and enhance his own strength.
Boom! Boom!
In Baoding Mansion, on the city wall, Ming Empire artillery pieces began to display their power.
In order to defend Baoding Mansion, Qi Jiguang moved all the Qi Jiajun's property.
Four walls and thousands of artillery pieces were the strength of the Qi Army.
In an instant, under the roar of artillery, hundreds of formation-breaking army rangers died on the way to the charge.
Although there were people holding shields, these low-grade shields were turned into pieces under the bombardment of artillery.
"Hold on, don't panic!"
"Whoever is the first to rush to the city wall will be promoted to the third level!"
"The bravest person in this battle will be qualified to lead the formation-breaking army alone!"
Although he was isolated from the battlefield, Guan Hai still commanded in an orderly manner.
With Cheng Mu holding down the formation, he must also successfully fight the first siege of the formation-breaking army. As Minister of War, how could he admit that his army was weaker than Feihu, Yiwang, and the Protectorate Army?
"Haha! The first one to rush up the city wall must be me, Wang Hu!"
"Everyone get lost! Commander of the Formation Breaking Army, I, Wang Ermao, have decided!"
"I can kill everyone with one sword!"
"Stop arguing, rush over first and talk later!"
Stimulated by Guan Hai, half a million soldiers of the formation-breaking army rushed towards the city like crazy.
The rows of artillery on the city wall did not pose any obstacles to them.
Killed by a cannonball? Then he was very unlucky.
Anyway, most of the formation-breaking soldiers rushed to the city in just a few breaths.
"Bring the black ball! Bring the black ball!"
The soldiers of the Breaking Army who were the first to rush under the city wall hurriedly called for the bombs to be placed.
Ever since the bombs made by Tina showed great power in the battle of Nanyang Mansion, everyone who attacked the city fell in love with this dark gadget.
And affectionately named it "Black Ball".
Anyway, the current siege battle. Either the strongest men like Guan Hai and Li Cunxiao use their strength to break the city, or they use black balls to blow up the city gates and city shields.
Now that there is no strongest person in the Ming Empire, attacking a city is still extremely simple.
The black ball created by Tina is really a city buster.
"Coming, coming!"
Under the urging of everyone, the people behind hurriedly brought a lot of black balls.
But just as they were placing it with excitement, the originally heavy Baoding City Gate suddenly opened with a creak.
"Um?"
Then, before they could react, hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the city.
"Qi Family Army! Kill the enemy!"
The leader was Wang Rulong, the general of the Qi Family Army! He had the strength to control the country, so the moment he appeared, he killed dozens of rangers of the formation-breaking army outside the city gate.
The black balls that had not yet detonated were flying around under the trampling of the horses' hooves.
But in the next second.
Boom!
There was a shaking sound like the sky was falling and the earth was falling. The originally indestructible city gate of Baoding Mansion rose to the sky at this moment.
Also ascending to the sky with the city gate tower was the general of the Qi Family Army, Wang Rulong, who had just rushed out!
"Ahem!"
The huge explosion shock wave raised smoke and dust dozens of meters high, and even the formation-breaking soldiers who had just rushed halfway were knocked back at this time.
"Is this a pig!"
After the formation, Cheng Mu saw such power and cursed angrily: "Sending a force from heaven! This is simply sending a force from heaven!"
Just blow up the city gate. There is no need for it to be like this. All the walls of Baoding City collapsed, and all the tens of thousands of soldiers from the formation-breaking army who rushed in front were killed.
Although it killed Wang Rulong, the general of the Qi Army, it also killed tens of thousands of Qi Army soldiers.
But this is completely like killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself a thousand!
And I only have so many people under my command, so I can’t do this!
"Your Majesty, this is just an accident."
Seeing Cheng Mu getting angry, Guan Hai immediately explained.
According to his request, so many black balls were not needed to blow up the city gate. It was just that Wang Rulong's impact exploded all the black balls carried by the formation-breaking soldiers.
"Let's fight quickly."
Cheng Mu was so distressed.
If these tens of thousands of formation-breaking troops don't die, they can definitely create the value of killing hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.
Now that the battle line is so long and it is impossible to recruit soldiers from the Ming Empire, the soldiers under his command are really dying one by one!
"The last general takes command!"
After hearing this, Guan Hai immediately picked up his Blood Prison Soul-Severing Knife and went into battle himself.
What he has to do now is to stabilize the morale of the army and then kill Qi Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of the Qi family army.
"you!"
Qi Jiguang was also standing in mid-air at this time. The violent explosion just now made him gnash his teeth in anger.
Wang Rulong was his favorite general, but he was killed in a bomb for no apparent reason?
In addition, a large part of the wall of Baoding City has collapsed, so he can only use the flesh and blood of his soldiers to resist the army of the Apocalypse Empire!
"Damn it! You all have to die!"
In anger, he ran away!
In his previous battle with Shi Dakai, he got a blessing in disguise and entered the Divine Gate Realm.
And because of the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, his strength reached the middle level of Shenmen at this time.
That's why he is so confident now that he wants to kill Guan Hai, kill Cheng Mu, and kill everyone!
"Haha, we will know who dies after the war!"
Guan Hai appeared in front of him lightly, his face cold.
He has stepped into the back realm of Shenmen. If he can't defeat Qi Jiguang in the middle realm of Shenmen, then he might as well kill himself!
So as not to disgrace the Apocalypse Empire!
"kill!"
Qi Jiguang rushed forward with a long knife in his hand and murderous intent.
"Dang!"
The two knives collided, and the huge force instantly knocked him back.
In terms of strength, there is a huge gap between the middle realm of Shenmen and the back realm of Shenmen. This Qi Jiguang is not a man of extraordinary strength, how can he possibly defeat Guan Hai?
However, one defeat did not make Qi Jiguang aware of the gap between the two.
He held a long sword and charged forward again.
And behind him.
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
Accompanied by two neighs, the military spirits of the Qi family army, the twin mandarin ducks, also rushed over.
They are the strength of the middle realm of Shenmen.
If the two mandarin duck military spirits join forces, they will be enough to pose a threat to Guan Hai.
Now this battlefield is no longer a one-on-one battle between Guan Hai and Qi Jiguang.
It was Qi Jiguang, the twin mandarin ducks, who joined forces to besiege Guan Hai!
