The entire city shrouded in darkness was completely in motion.
Countless people began to prepare their horses.
In the streets with lights and lanterns, everyone began to prepare.
This is very similar to the scene when the capital was moved to Luoyang many years ago, but it is also very different.
When the capital was moved to Luoyang, ropes were the most used thing by all the people who were packing. They wanted to tie up everything in their homes and take them away together.
When we arrived in Luoyang, even though it was rich in products and even though there were many things from the southern dynasty, it would still be too expensive to buy everything we needed.
Even if it is an inconspicuous little thing that you don't need on a daily basis, it seems to be indispensable after you settle down.
What can be taken away, of course, must be taken away.
But tonight is different.
Everyone who is preparing to set out has very little with them.
Some people even didn't bring any food rations.
All the weapons they sorted out were useful weapons, especially lead powder and other items that were most useful against practitioners.
The smell of meat even wafts from the streets late at night.
That's bacon and dried meat that many people use when cooking for the New Year.
Compared with the uneasiness when leaving home back then, everyone leaving home tonight felt like they were going to a grand party.
"Dad, will you come back?"
A child who was only a few years old asked his father who was stringing his strong bow carelessly while nibbling dried meat, "I always feel that you can't come back. Otherwise, why would you be afraid that you wouldn't be able to eat this meat?"
Dry."
His father, an ordinary city gatekeeper, was also chewing a piece of dried meat in his mouth. Hearing these words from his son, he was slightly stunned, temporarily stopped what he was doing, and then rubbed his son
His hair was not strong, and he laughed, "It's not necessarily possible to come back, but it's like a fight. Even if you can't win, you can't lose because of your momentum."
"With so many people going, how can we not win?"
The boy was not very sensible and innocent. After muttering this sentence, he stuffed a piece of dried meat into his father's mouth and said, "Eat more meat. Eat more meat and you will be strong."
The boy's mother was folding a few dry noodles and couldn't help laughing when she saw him handing over the dried meat. But the next moment, she turned her head and secretly wiped away her tears.
"Why are you crying? My son is right. With so many people going, how can we not win?"
The city guard chewed the dried meat vigorously and stared at
Eyes yelled: "There are hundreds of thousands of people from this city, including those from Shangqiu. Even if you do nothing and stretch your neck just waiting for someone to chop you, even if you cut off ten heads with one knife, half of them will be killed."
At most, a few thousand heads can be beheaded in an hour, but less than 10,000 heads can be beheaded in an hour. If you want to kill people like us, you have to behead them for dozens of hours in a row."
The boy's mother's lips moved but she didn't reply.
She admitted that her man's words made sense, but there was something she didn't say. She didn't think that one person could kill hundreds of thousands of them, but she was afraid that the demon sect was not human.
People kept walking out of the brightly lit streets and alleys. Many people greeted each other and then merged into the crowd.
The city gate facing south is open, and some of the forbidden troops in the city have already finished preparing and have left the city gate.
The flow of people in the streets merged into the flow of people on the main roads in the city, and then merged into the flow of people on the avenues outside the city.
Among the crowd, there were even many women and old people wearing ordinary clothes, and there were even old ladies among them.
Most of them are family members of the Huaizhou Army.
Now the entire city of Luoyang knew the news of the destruction of the Huaizhou Army, but the emperor's actions and orders that followed left them no time to grieve. They only wanted revenge.
So this was probably the most united moment for the entire Northern Wei Dynasty.
No one thinks that the Northern Wei Emperor's decision was wrong or had nothing to do with right or wrong.
This is a matter of breath.
The words of the city gate guard and his son who was chewing dried meat when they said goodbye represented the aspirations of the vast majority of the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Luoyang City.
He finished trimming the bow string, took all the arrows, then patted his son on the shoulder and said: "Son, you remember that life is just one breath, and you remember that your father went to war with these people to fight for this
"We just don't believe that the home we have built with countless efforts and efforts can be destroyed by one person."
Thick crowds spread on the road.
As time went by, people riding good horses naturally came to the front of the crowd.
Looking at the iron tower-like figures at the front, all the generals and sergeants at the rear had deep respect in their eyes.
Zhongshan Wang Yuanying, Yang Dian... these people appeared at the front of the team again when the entire Northern Wei Dynasty was in greatest danger.
…
News from Luoyang reached Shangqiu at an unprecedented speed.
On the city wall of Shangqiu, many generals wearing heavy armor were putting lead armor on their bodies.
Shangqiu City
Already ready for battle.
These generals did not think about how much threat they could bring to the Demon Sect. They just wanted to avoid being easily killed by the Demon Sect's true energy power in an instant as much as possible.
After wearing lead armor that can isolate the true energy, many of them even prepared to fill the gaps in their armor with lead powder, and then smeared the surface of the armor with melted lead and tin water.
Although such a move will at least double their burden, it will even make it difficult for them to use their true energy, isolate them from the world they are familiar with, and even make their activities inconvenient.
But they all know that as long as they truly appear in the Demon Sect's perception, there will be very little time left for them.
They don't need to be supported for a long time.
Wei Changgong is also one of them.
The heavy armor on his body was originally resplendent, and he was exceptionally tall.
What he was wearing was originally the most powerful Kunpeng heavy armor in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
He is one of the owners of Kunpeng Heavy Armor.
Being able to possess the Kunpeng heavy armor was originally a supreme honor in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
But the Kunpeng heavy armor he was wearing at this time was wrapped with several chains, and tied to the chains were several magic weapons that could cause huge damage to practitioners.
When he heard the news from Luoyang, he and everyone were first shocked, and then he trembled with excitement.
He didn't expect it, but it seemed that this was indeed the Holy Lord he was familiar with.
He didn't know what to do originally, but now, his thoughts are clearer than ever.
"The Holy Spirit has personally conquered it."
"I don't know how many people are coming from Luoyang. All the generals and practitioners whose names you have heard, as well as those worshipers in the palace whose names you have not heard, will come."
"I don't know what will happen to us in the Northern Wei Dynasty after this battle, but I don't think anyone can defeat us in this battle."
"All the classics will record the courage, determination and brilliance of all us Northern Wei people in this battle."
His voice echoed from the city walls.
The city gate of Shangqiu was opened.
Three thousand elite riders rushed out.
Then came the heavy cavalry and some light armored cavalry.
