Prince Yelu Hongcai of Beimang was dressed in golden armor and was protected by tens of thousands of Xue troops heavily armored. He was also closely protected by two thousand elite bodyguards and cavalry and the crown prince's concubine Han Gu.
It still didn't bring him the slightest sense of security.
Due to his poor talent in martial arts, Yeluhong stopped reaching the second-level minor master realm throughout his life, and had no chance to enter the first-level vajra realm to temper his body and prolong his life.
With the Empress of Beimang here, he, the prince of Beimang and the legal heir of Beimang, was nothing more than a joke in the eyes of the powerful disciples of the Northern Dynasty.
Beimang respected the strong, not to mention being inferior to masters like Hong Jingyan, even Zhong Tan, who was captured in the first Liangmang battle, was more prestigious than him.
He understood in his heart why Empress Beimang, who had always firmly held the power, suddenly asked herself to command this 400,000-strong army.
It must not be that his empress mother has changed her temper and wants to pave the way for him to ascend the throne in the future.
Only after experiencing that bloody storm did Yeluhong understand that the empress promoted herself to the position of commander in order to use herself as bait.
As long as he can lure Xu Fengnian out of Beicheng, he will be considered a successful bait.
As for his own life and death?
Now that the fish has been caught, who cares about the life or death of the bait?
With Tuoba Bodhisattva, the God of the Beimang Army, present, even if ten Yelu Hongcai died, the Beimang army would still attack the city.
Fortunately, the empress and I still have some mother-son friendship.
Only then did Beimang's most elite Qie Xue army come to protect him.
Compared with the Yulin Army of the Liyang Dynasty, which was hailed as the "Emperor's Heavy Armor" by the Zhao royal family in the past dynasties, Qie Xue's army has a more aloof status, as they all come from a wealthy family with two names: Jia and B.
Over the past four hundred years, great talents have emerged in large numbers on the grassland, and it has always been the case that "the one who conquers the timid Xue Jun conquers the grassland."
The greatest contribution of Xu Huainan, the king of the old North Academy, was to assist the current empress to break this iron law amidst the turmoil of internal and external troubles, and to help this unjust and unruly woman not yet master half of the cowardice.
Under the premise of military success, not only did he successfully sit on the dragon chair, but he also unexpectedly sat firmly on the dragon chair.
According to his original thoughts, so what if there were more than twenty Central Plains Grandmasters in Beiliang.
Anyone who dares to leave the city will die miserably under the crushing force of his own cavalry.
This is how the Sword Emperor of Western Shu died under the hooves of the Xu family's cavalry.
Xu Xiao led his army across the Central Plains for more than 20 years. Why is it that the shortest battle to pacify Xishu has been mentioned so many times in the streets, directly following the Battle of Xilebi and the Battle of Jinghe?
It was the Sword Emperor of Xishu who single-handedly provided help in times of need and forged the reputation of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry.
With such unprecedented achievements, Yelu Hongcai will surely ascend the throne smoothly.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Xu Fengnian took seventeen people from the Central Plains out of the city as Yelu Hongcai wished.
But what happened next greatly exceeded his expectation.
Xu Fengnian is really terrifying, beyond the scope of normal people.
The King of Northern Liang had apparently managed to win against Gao Shulu before.
However, in just one year, it has become an existence that can kill thousands of people with a single strike.
You must know that even a master like Li Chungang would have to exhaust his lifespan before he could break through two thousand armors with his sword.
Now that we are here with Xu Fengnian, it is not easy at all.
Any soldier who dared to appear in front of Xu Fengnian would end up with a miserable death.
The armored military formation that Beimang was so proud of was as thin as paper in front of him.
If he had not known that retreating would lead to death, His Royal Highness the Prince of Beimang would have galloped away when Xu Fengnian was within 200 feet of the position.
The original plan to speak generously after meeting with the King of Northern Liang and to win over the morale of the army was now at a loss.
Now, he just hopes that Tuoba Bodhisattva will take action quickly and the plan can be carried out as soon as possible.
Tuoba Bodhisattva appeared as planned, and the Heavenly Light Pillar also worked as expected, beginning to suppress the arrogant King of Northern Liang.
But variables appeared again.
Opposite, the incarnation of King Beiliang, Baishi Jinglun? One-page book arrived in time.
Judging from Tuoba Bodhisattva's attitude, it was obvious that he wanted to have a showdown with the world's number one martial artist before dealing with Xu Fengnian.
This made Yelu Hongcai very helpless, but he could not curse loudly.
Because if this happens, I am afraid that the little prestige I have accumulated along the way will be destroyed.
Fortunately, the young Beiliang suddenly chose to stand still when he was a hundred feet away from Beimang Dabu.
Although it made him feel baffled, he couldn't care less about it.
He didn't dare to bet on whether Xu Fengnian would be able to kill him under the protection of Xue Jun, even if there was a large formation to suppress him.
As long as his cavalry and the cowardly Xue army don't offend the King of Beiliang, both sides will be safe. It would be best if the plan goes smoothly and he doesn't lose his life in vain.
Therefore, Yelu Hongcai just held the reins tightly with both hands and looked at Xu Fengnian from a distance.
As for the reason why Xu Fengnian didn't move, it was that he was not very interested in killing Yelu Hongcai.
Spies from Fushui Fang had been sending back information about Beimang. How could he not know that even if he killed the Beimang prince, it would have little impact on the war.
Anyway, Beimang will be destroyed. Yelu Hongcai, the prince of Beimang, will die early or late, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
The reason why I chose to leave the city was to lure Tuoba Bodhisattva to appear, because the gang of heavenly beings in the sky took action.
By the way, destroy some Beimang siege facilities.
In front of these, Beimang Prince Yelu Hongcai is not worth mentioning at all.
Xu Fengnian looked up at the pillar of light that symbolized the way of heaven, and chuckled, "Empress Beimang, you really went to great lengths to suppress me."
At this time, in the military formation behind Yelu Hongcai, twelve Beimang knights, whose bodies were glowing with white light, gave up their horses. They quickly came to the light pillar and stood in an arc formation.
One of them stood in the way of Xu Fengnian and Prince Yeluhong.
Before entering Tai'an City, King Yan and Li Yufu worked together to calculate that according to Beimang's luck, even if it was not overthrown like Liyang Jianghu, it would have the luck of the Spring and Autumn Period.
But the difference in the number of first-grade grandmasters between the two sides is really too great.
In Liyang, there are Wang Xianzhi, Hong Xixiang, Li Chungang, Cao Changqing, Huang Sanjia, the father and son of the four great heavenly masters of Longhu Mountain, Zhao Huangchao who repairs alone, Monk Nagarjuna of Liangchan Temple, Xuanyuan Jingcheng of Huishan, and others in Jianghu.
Not to mention Gao Shulu, Liu Songtao, and the eunuchs who retired from the country in Tai'an City.
Among the land gods who are still alive are Xu Fengnian, Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a, Chen Zhibao, White Monk Li Dangxin, Xu Yanbing, Gu Jiantang, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, Wen Hua, Wu Cuihua and Guanyin Zong Tantai Ningping.
Not to mention Yu Bridegroom, Wu Liuding, Cheng Baishuang and other first-level masters.
On the other hand, in the Beimang Jianghu, apart from Yuan Qingshan, the ascended Qilin Master, and Qi Jian Yue Fu, who has never shown his own strength, there are only two masters of the Land God Realm, Tuoba Bodhisattva and Huyan Daguan.
Hong Jingyan can barely be considered as half of the land fairyland.
