As dusk fell, Wu Fanghai stood in the wind, and the bleak autumn wind blew his gray-eyed hair and beard.
Time is not forgiving, even if it is the Nascent Soul stage, it is not eternal life.
Wu Fanghai is approaching the end of his life. He himself can also feel that his body and cultivation are beginning to decline. Of course, with his strong foundation, this decline may take ten or twenty years.
But in my lifetime, will I be able to see the country of Qixia become stronger?
Wu Fanghai looked at the battle in the distance, but what echoed in his mind was Liu Xinyu's calm, cold, and rational decision: No destruction, no establishment!
Today’s Qixia Country needs to be cleaned up! All the cancers in the country need to be removed.
But these cancers have been attached to Qixia Kingdom for thousands of years. If you want to remove them, you must... scrape the bones to cure the poison!
If you want to clean up all the cancer in the country, you need to "subjugate the country." Youdao means that national disasters produce loyal ministers, and Liu Xinyu needs to use "subjugate the country" to complete the cleanup within the empire.
Let’s see how everyone behaves after the ‘subjugation’ of the country.
Of course, the Wu family and Wu Fanghai's consistent performance have won Liu Xinyu's trust. The most important thing is that "acting" also requires "excellent actors." And Wu Fanghai, the cavalry general, is one of the best actors.
In fact, Liu Xinyu did not want to notify Wu Fanghai if possible. But Liu Xinyu understood that if she did not notify Wu Fanghai, Wu Fanghai's character would definitely lead to "death".
In order to prevent the old general from making drastic choices, Liu Xinyu could only inform him in advance.
As night gradually fell, Qixia's defense line finally... retreated to the walls of the imperial capital. This was destined to be a sleepless night.
Liu Xinyu personally came to the city wall to supervise the battle - because he was just a regent and could not be regarded as a personal commander.
But even though Liu Xinyu appeared, morale was still not high.
Liu Dingshan appeared high in the sky, showing his cultivation in the middle stage of becoming a god, and confronted Zhao Kai and Zhao Ying, father and daughter.
The spell of illumination hovered in the sky, illuminating a radius of dozens of miles. Outside the city, the Jinyang Kingdom's army was like black waves and could not be seen. But inside the city, there were panicked people.
At this moment, no matter how numb the person is, they have to face the reality - the country may be subjugated!
Sima Zhen flew into the air and shouted loudly: "Is the regent of Qixia Kingdom here?"
Liu Xinyu snorted coldly: "Sima Zhen, what do you want to say?"
"Your Highness the Regent, in fact, the war between our two countries could have been avoided. However, your country's insistence has led to the current situation.
As we all know, our six Western countries have always been oppressed by the East. Therefore, the emperor contacted the countries several times in order to form a unified country.
However, for the sake of their own selfish interests, the royal families of various countries have repeatedly refused, ignoring the reality of the plight of the West and ignoring the people.
Seeing that the West is becoming more and more difficult, for the long-term interests of the West, the emperor has no choice but to launch a war to unify the West!
This is what all people in the West admire!
Your Highness the Regent, now that the time has come, are you still stubborn?"
Liu Xinyu laughed angrily at Sima Zhen's lies: "Sima Zhen, is it true that all Jinyang Kingdom is full of talkers like you?
Well, when we were negotiating, your emperor of Jinyang Kingdom was very majestic. He said that the best way to unify was through marriage. Your emperor planned to select a woman from every family, noble, and sect to fill the harem. What's more,
Royal families of various countries send princesses.
In addition, everyone's skills must be collected and summarized, and masters from the Kingdom of Jinyang must be sent to stay in various major families.
Is this what you call for the West? I doubt it!
Naturally, we cannot agree to such a ridiculous thing."
The conversation between Sima Zhen and Liu Xinyu caused an uproar everywhere. Sima Zhen was even more stunned.
In fact, what Sima Zhen said is naturally nonsense. But at this time, you always have to give yourself a pat on the back. And under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the other party to follow up perfectly when faced with such words. Negating it is obviously not possible.
But Sima Zhen didn't expect that Liu Xinyu was also a capable person, so he followed his words. This time, Sima Zhen was embarrassed to answer the question.
You're shooting yourself in the foot! Sima Zhen really wants to slap himself and make you talk nonsense. But since you have already said it, he can only bite the bullet and go on:
"What His Highness said is absolutely not true!" (He himself denied it.)
"Oh...really? Did I remember it wrong?" Liu Xinyu sneered and suddenly snorted: "But the country of Qixia will never surrender! Even if we fight to the death of one soldier, we will not hesitate!
attack!"
During the speaking time, the artillery on the city wall had been prepared. Over this period of time, Wu Fanghai has more than 2,000 mortars and more than 200 large artillery pieces. Now all these weapons have been moved to the top of the city.
.
Following Liu Xinyu's order, all the shells were fired instantly.
But the Kingdom of Jinyang is also on guard. There have long been barriers and spells blocking the army. Earth cannons have also been pushed to the front line.
The biggest advantage of these cannons is: siege the city!
Thousands of cannons focused their fire on the city gate. At this moment, the solid cannonballs exploded with their due power.
The defensive barrier on the imperial city was trembling crazily, especially at the city gate. Even if the barrier was strong enough, problems gradually appeared in the face of thousands of artillery attacks. The formation became weaker and weaker, and cracks began to appear in the surrounding city walls.
This was an unprecedented war. The armies of both sides almost stood aside and watched, only the artillery of both sides roared.
The artillery of the Kingdom of Jinyang was one kilometer away, bombarding the city gate. Each concentrated fire attack caused the city gate to shake. Cracks gradually appeared on the city wall, and some rocks began to loosen. Stone chips and dust fell rustlingly.
The artillery of the Qixia Kingdom also continuously concentrated fire to attack the legions of the Jinyang Kingdom. Although the Jinyang Kingdom was on guard, the explosion of thousands of artillery shells was still not something that flesh and blood could stop.
Every attack was a bloodbath. Explosions, shock waves, and shrapnel overturned the ground, and the light of artillery fire reflected the sky red.
Compared with the native artillery of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the attack range of the artillery of the Kingdom of Qixia can easily exceed five or six kilometers. Especially now that the artillery is installed on the top of the city, the attack range is farther.
It's just that Sima Zhen protected his artillery camp in layers, which made Liu Xinyu itchy with hatred.
In order to protect his artillery corps, Sima Zhen actually used several top-notch mountain protection formations. Within three seconds, it was considered indestructible.
High in the air, under the attack of Zhao Kai and Zhao Ying, Liu Dingshan was "retreating steadily, stretched thin, and roared again and again."
The roar of artillery reverberated between heaven and earth; about a moment later, part of the city gate of Qixia Kingdom collapsed. The city wall with a height of hundreds of meters slowly tilted, and the last section of the city wall that was a thousand meters long crashed to the ground.
Sima Zhen roared, "Everyone, the city gate has been opened, what are you waiting for!"
This shout seemed to be meaningless. But as soon as the words fell, flames suddenly burst into the sky in Guangling City, and then one saw families waiting to "make the right choice."
Many family armed forces rushed out one after another and launched an attack on the imperial guards, palaces, government offices, and city wall defenses of the Qixia Kingdom.
On the city wall, Wu Fanghai's eyes instantly turned red.
Liu Xinyu stood next to Wu Fanghai and said softly: "What do you think?"
Wu Fanghai smiled, it was very weird, he seemed to be laughing with anger, and he also seemed to be mocking, "This city...can't be defended anymore. Retreat! But if you want to retreat safely, you must teach the enemy a lesson."
Outside the city, the legions of the Kingdom of Jinyang were approaching crazily like waves. They shouted to capture Wu Fanghai, capture the regent, and they charged madly. The imperial capital of a country was just ahead!
This is glory, and this is even more... wealth!
However, when the army rushed under the city wall, when the boundless army was about to flood Guangling City, a cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Wu Fanghai's mouth. He waved his hand gently.
Almost at the same time, fuses were lit everywhere under the city. The fuses quickly sank into the ground. After only a dozen breaths, the dragon turned over, flames shot into the sky, and countless soldiers flew hundreds of meters into the air.
No one can describe the tragedy of that moment. In the future, countless survivors of Jinyang Kingdom will tremble with fear every time they mention this night.
No one could have imagined that at the last moment, the Kingdom of Qixia would resort to such brutal means. The ground was hollowed out and more than 300 tons of explosives were buried.
Only Liu Xinyu was silently admiring it. At this moment, it was silent.
Great sound!
But the ground suddenly opened up in front, and a 'Fire Dragon' about eight hundred meters wide and more than ten kilometers long rushed out from the ground. Dazzling white light, dark red flames, black smoke, and mud rushed into the sky, covering Guangling.
To the east of the city, the Jinyang Kingdom's forwards, with almost 178,000 elite troops, were completely covered.
Those who can rush to the front are the real elites.
Then billowing black smoke rushed into the sky, and the sky was filled with broken soil, screaming people, and corpses.
The flames rolled for a while, and then the crackling sound suddenly reappeared in the sky and the earth, as if the heaven and the earth were being torn apart. The earth was shaking, the moat was boiling, and the city walls collapsed in pieces.
Wu Fanghai looked at the billowing smoke and calmly ordered: "Withdraw!"
Because of arrangements made in advance, Wu Fanghai took 50,000 carefully selected elites, rolled up Liu Xinyu and a few others, and retreated to the rear of Guangling City in an orderly manner.
Guangling City fell.
High in the sky, Zhao Kai and Zhao Ying were fighting against Liu Dingshan. They were dumbfounded. They looked at the rolling flames in shock and felt that their hands and feet were a little cold.
A fierce light flashed in Liu Dingshan's eyes, but he seized this opportunity and slashed at Zhao Ying with the power of "the peak of mid-stage god transformation".
This explosion was sudden and violent, but Liu Dingshan had been prepared for it. By the time Zhao Ying and Zhao Kai reacted, it was already too late. The flying sword brutally tore through Zhao Ying's defense, and the top-notch steel
Power burst out at this moment.
There was a shrill scream in the sky, and Zhao Ying's left arm was cut off at the shoulder level by Liu Dingshan.
This time, Zhao Kai and Zhao Ying were really shocked.
"Ah..." Zhao Kai was furious, and the dark wind roared around him.
