Five days have passed since the battle between Emperor Chu and the Holy Court in the Beast Palace. The Black Dragon Dark Envoy was chased by the strong men of Tianmen and finally died in the Burial God Mountain.
Nangong Xi established a fair contract with the sacred bird Qingluan. In this battle, ten powerful men from the Holy Court were killed. Emperor Chu also gained a lot, receiving the Heavenly Punishment Order and the Holy Sword of Light.
Five days ago, during the battle at the Beast Palace Square, the Heavenly Punishment Order lost all its energy, and the Holy Sword of Light was broken. In the eyes of others, they were just discarded shoes, worthless scraps.
But in the hands of Emperor Chu, they were still extremely powerful treasures. According to the requirements of the system, Emperor Chu spent one million reputation points to rebuild the Holy Sword of Light, making it far more powerful than before.
As for the Heavenly Punishment Order, it is a terrible killing weapon.
It is useless to others, but Emperor Chu learned from the humble sky that he could hide the power of heaven's punishment and the divine fire in it. Instead of using it like Bai Wuyuan, he would throw it when facing the enemy.
Under the huge energy explosion, it can easily kill any strong person below the peak of the seventh-level Martial Saint Realm in an instant.
At present, Emperor Chu has not broken through, and there is no power of heavenly punishment hidden in it. However, he has stored the heavenly punishment order with powerful destructive power in the dragon ring and regards it as a treasure.
Five days passed.
The Beast Imperial City fell into silence again. Emperor Chu had nothing to do and was on his way to the Academy of Sciences. At dawn, Shen Kuo handed over a note saying that the survey of the train track had taken shape. Emperor Chu wanted to meet with the Academy of Sciences.
Discuss the construction of train tracks.
However.
at this time.
The war in the Northern Song Dynasty came to an end. The three generals, Li Jing, Lu Bu and Yang Lin, commanded an army of 400,000 and were already at Yingtian City.
The 400,000-strong army was in uniform and ready, smoke and dust rose into the sky, flags flew in the wind, and horses neighed and neighed.
It is worth mentioning that five days ago, Luo Cheng single-handedly pursued Shi Le, but in the end he had a chance to escape. Now Shi Le is hiding in Yingtian City.
Boom~
Boom~
On the top of Yingtian City, war drums were beating everywhere and gunpowder smoke was filling the air. The generals guarding the city were watching the Chu army outside the city with vigilance. They beat drums and sounded gold to notify the army in the city.
At this time, the Northern Song Dynasty generals headed by Zhao Kuangyi and the Moon Worshiping Empire generals headed by Gao Huan were all galloping towards the city gate.
Shi Le entered Yingtian City three days ago. Zhao Kuangyi and Gao Huan already knew that the Chu army would approach the city soon, but they did not order to withdraw.
They gathered 300,000 troops and hid in Yingtian City, preparing to compete with the Chu army and stop them here forever.
Zhao Kuangyi and Gao Huan originally thought that the Chu army would arrive tomorrow, but they did not expect that their troops were so fast that they arrived a day early. As they moved forward, the two of them beamed with joy and looked playful.
The deployment of Yingtian City took more than a day. There were fierce generals like clouds and fierce soldiers like rain. Zhao Kuangyi and Gao Huan were both confident. Originally, they thought that the three people of Shi Le and his grandson would be able to stop the Chu army at Jinshatan Pass. They thought they would not
Opportunity to confront the Chu army.
Facts have proved that the Chu army did not disappoint them. The army gathered and marched to the city.
A little while.
Zhao Kuangyi and Gao Huan led a hundred generals to the top of the city. They stared into the distance, their eyes resting on the overwhelming Chu army below the city.
The golden dragon flag is fluttering, the war drums are rumbling, the siege equipment soars into the sky, and the soldiers are fierce and powerful.
The Chu army cannot be underestimated.
This was the evaluation given by Gao Huan when he saw the Chu army. Zhao Kuangyi looked gloomy and had a fierce look in his eyes. He sneered and said: "Why should a tall and handsome man have the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige?"
"The Kingdom of Chu is only a third-level empire. Although he has been promoted from the ninth level, Emperor Chu is not satisfied and wants to rule the world. If our Song Dynasty hadn't suddenly suffered a natural disaster, how could he have been allowed to take it away so easily!"
Gao Huan glanced sideways at Zhao Kuangyi, paused while holding the weapon in his hand tightly, and said: "Even so, the Chu army cannot be underestimated."
"Since Wulong Ridge, the Chu army has never been defeated. With such a tiger and wolf army, Emperor Chu has the capital to compete in the world!"
"I have received news that the Chu army was winning successively in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Wuling Empire was also retreating under the Chu army's iron cavalry. Emperor Wuling was assassinated, and the empire fell into chaos. I am afraid that it will be precarious."
"So, this battle is not only to defeat the Chu army under the city, but also to drive them out of the Northern Song Dynasty territory and regain the lost ground. Only then will His Highness the King of Jin have the opportunity to reorganize the country."
Hear the sound.
Zhao Kuangyi nodded frequently, with a look of approval in his eyes, and said: "With more than a month of precise deployment, Yingtian City will definitely become the burial place of the Chu army."
"Four hundred thousand troops came to the city, but they didn't dare to attack. They were obviously afraid of the hundreds of steel cannons in the city. General Gao can rest assured that as long as they dare to approach, I will kill them in an instant and their souls will return to the sky."
Zhao Kuangyi believed that he had hundreds of steel cannons and was confident that he could completely crush the Chu army, but Gao Huan just shook his head and disagreed with him.
The Chu army is approaching the city. If you want to win a complete victory, you must take the initiative to attack. If the confrontation lasts for a long time, the Chu army will besiege the city without attacking and blockade the outside.
They will be in a dilemma, and they will not be able to hold on for long just because of internal friction. In the end, the Chu army is afraid that they will collapse without even using a single soldier.
As for why the Chu army formed a formation under the city and did not attack, it was because they had an uninvited guest.
In the Chu army's formation, three generals, Li Jing, Lu Bu, and Yang Lin, returned to their horses and ran toward the center of the formation. Two soldiers came forward with an old man in ragged clothes.
"Two commanders, patron king, this person is sneaking at the end of the army, and his subordinates specially captured him, please punish him!"
"Who are you and why do you appear here!"
Li Jing watched intently and asked. He could feel that the old man in front of him was not an ordinary citizen. He had an elegant temperament and was obviously a man with a deep chest and a wealth of knowledge.
The ragged clothes cannot hide his sharp edge.
"Old Zhao Pu has met all the generals of Chu State!"
"Zhao Pu?"
Li Jing, Lu Bu, and Yang Lin were all shocked. If the old man in front of them was really the Zhao Pu they knew, he was the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty and the person most trusted by the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.
How could he appear so embarrassed outside Yingtian Mansion? This made the three of them confused.
"Generals, don't be surprised. The old man is the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. He has been hiding outside Yingtian City for many days, waiting for the arrival of the Chu army."
Zhao Pu spoke up to reveal his identity, and the soldiers on both sides were at war with each other. Upon seeing this, Li Jing waved his hands to signal the soldiers on both sides to put away their weapons. Zhao Pu was alone and unarmed, and dared to join an army of 400,000 people. This courage is enough to make people admire him.
"Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, you are waiting for our army again. This seems a bit unreasonable!"
"If the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty sent you here, it is better not to open your mouth. Our Chu army came to the city with troops, and in an instant the Qiang and oars of Yingtian City were wiped out."
Lu Bu's expression was as cold as frost, and his powerful voice rang out, and he was determined to conquer Yingtian City. Therefore, Lu Bu felt that no matter why Zhao Pu came here, it was unnecessary. (To be continued)
