Chapter 499: The disparity in strength
Yang Qin's words made Liu Yuan furious and kicked him directly in the face. The foot was exhausted and kicked Yang Qin's mouth and nose bleeding, and two of his teeth fell off. However, after Yang Qin spit out his teeth, he lay on the ground and laughed.
"Qi Tian... Hahaha... Qi Tian, I really didn't expect that Qi Tian meant this, hahahaha." Yang Qin laughed wildly, struggled to get up, staring at Huang Yuanwu with his blood-filled eyes. His expression and tone were a bit ferocious: "Huang Yuanwu! The Qi Tian Empire you are proud of is like this! The Eastern Prince's Mansion, which you regard as a treasure, is actually the biggest sinner in the world. The father of yours you regard as a god is actually the biggest executioner in the world! Hahaha, ridiculous! It's ridiculous!"
"Looking for death!" Before Huang Yuanwu could speak, Liu Yuan, who was beside him, raised his spear and used the handle to force the barrel on Yang Qin's weakness. With a crisp "click", Yang Qin's ribs were stabbed several times. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
Huang Yuanwu glanced at Yang Qin indifferently and didn't take his words to heart. However, Huang Yuanwu still had a deep understanding of what Yang Qin said just now that the emperor was scared to death.
Even though Yang Qin fainted, even though he was beaten by Liu Yuan and vomited blood, Huang Yuchen, as an emperor, was still pale and trembling all over, and he had no intention of issuing an order to punish Yang Qin.
Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu sighed softly, rushed to Huang Yuchen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, turned around, and walked out of the hall. Liu Yuan lifted Yang Qin with one hand, carried it straight on his shoulder, picked up his spear, and followed Huang Yuanwu. He had no good feelings for the current emperor. In Liu Yuan's opinion, the face of the Huang clan made this Huang Yuchen lose all!
Huang Yuanwu walked out of the hall, and the thousands of soldiers sent by Liu Yuan were neatly arranged in the square in front of the hall. Huang Yuanwu turned his head and whispered to Liu Yuan: "Send soldiers to guard the palace, throw Yang Qin into the Heaven Prison and take strict supervision, and issue a notice of peace and security. The chaos in the imperial capital is over."
"Ode to the Lord!" Liu Yuan replied in a deep voice, carrying Yang Qin and went down immediately.
Huang Yuanwu looked back at the Qitian Palace behind him. He suddenly felt like a huge rock was pressed in his heart. The situation in the imperial capital was far worse than he thought.
According to a simple understanding, during this period of time in the imperial capital, Yang Qin unexpectedly carried out bloody swindlings on the officialdom and the imperial family of the entire imperial capital. Most of the royal relatives, including the prince, were killed. Many of Qitian's offer ministers were also bloody swindled for resisting Yang Qin's atrocities. Several ministers and their families were all slaughtered. The entire Qitian Dynasty has now been destroyed in name only.
The gates were closed for several months and the news was blocked, which also led to a significant reduction in the control of the surrounding provinces. Even after the new emperor ascended the throne, the capital was still in chaos and no one was in charge of the trivial matters of the empire. This also directly led to the collapse of Qitian's current political situation, and each province had its own ulterior motives. If the current situation of the capital continued to collapse, there was a situation where heroes emerged.
This is also the situation that Huang Yuanwu had considered before, but what he didn't expect was that the facts were worse than expected.
As expected, I took down the imperial capital and things had just begun.
As night fell, the incident in the imperial capital came to an end. It ended in a way that Emperor Yuanwu had never thought of, but he didn't know whether this was really ending.
At this moment, in the distance, the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Pingjin City.
The battle situation was unexpectedly tragic.
Since the teleportation array appeared in the distance, the light has not dimmed. The enemy troops have continuously teleported from the teleportation array and have been constantly rushing to the formation of the East Prince Mansion.
It has never stopped since the early morning.
So far, under Yu Sheng's command, he has repelled seven enemy attacks and killed countless enemies. The soldiers of the Eastern Palace have also suffered considerable losses.
However, as of now, although the enemy dispatched tens of thousands of troops, its combat power was obviously not high. This seemed to be consuming the energy of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and there was no incident of the masters of the Chihong Sect attacking the camp.
As night fell, the enemy army gathered not far away again, formed a neat square formation, and once again launched an attack on the positions of the Eastern Palace.
Before the camp, the enemy's corpses had been buried high, like a small hill. The snow water accumulated on the ground had frozen into red blood ice in the cold air. Even so, the strong smell of blood still came to my face.
The enemy troops coming through the teleportation array did not have too powerful siege equipment, but their troops seemed to be constantly rising, as if they didn't care about the life or death of the soldiers. The same was true for the enemy soldiers. As long as the horn of the charge sounded, they would charge without fear of death. Even if they could not rush to the camp, no one retreated.
This is the first time that such an army has been through many battles in Yu Sheng. This is not a war at all, but a death.
Once again, the enemy's phalanx entered the range of the crossbowmen, and the overwhelming arrow feathers fell down, crazily harvesting the lives of the enemy. The enemy soldiers fell down like cut wheat. The soldiers behind continued to follow, held up their shields, and charged forward without fear of death.
The enemy's attack had almost no strategy. After gathering two phalanx teams, they charged straight ahead without considering tactics at all. It seemed that they wanted to use the sea of people to break through the camp defense of the Dongwang Mansion.
But the army of the Eastern Prince Mansion has experienced many battles, especially this time, Yu Sheng was prepared in advance. They had only one result to meet them, death.
Since the war started, he had never left the city wall for the rest of his life. He had been observing the situation from afar. Now, the offensive and defensive battles in the camp almost require him to give any orders. Except for one time when the enemy crossed the wooden wall of the camp and entered the camp, and contacted his own soldiers and caused casualties, the enemy could not rush to approach most of the rest.
From the camp in front of Pingjin City to the farthest range, the vast snow field was covered with enemy corpses, and blood stained the earth red, forming a thick layer of blood ice on the vast ground.
Even though there were so many casualties, the enemy's attack never stopped.
Yu Sheng is not thinking about how to consolidate the frontal defense now. He is thinking about what the enemy is planning for such an attack method.
Has the defense of the Eastern Palace been broken from the front? After a day of battle, the enemy has proved it with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. This is simply impossible. Unless they have large siege equipment, it is possible to have an impact on the Eastern Palace camp. But after the camp, there are also the solid walls of Pingjin City. Tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops in the Eastern Palace are waiting for their leisure. It is simply a fantasy to try to break Pingjin City.
What are the intentions of the enemy's attack method other than breaking Pingjin City head-on?
The most likely direction is to make a big spy to attack the west, use the energy of a large number of soldiers to be attracted by the battle outside the city, dispatch a large number of masters to sneak into the city and destroy the facilities in the city. If you can kill commanders like Yu Sheng or Xiao Yiba in one fell swoop, you can win this battle and Chihong Sect can get what they want. But in fact, the defense in Pingjin City is no worse than outside, and a day has passed, and no enemy masters attack the camp at all.
Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the shining teleportation array in the distance, and he was a little confused about the enemy's thoughts. Moreover, the Chihong Sect could actually call so many soldiers, which was something he could not have imagined.
According to his previous estimate, the most likely attack method of Chihong Sect is to dispatch a large number of masters to directly break through Pingjin City's defense. If they really make a desperate bet and dispatch several Venerable-level strong men, Yu Sheng really has no good way. Pingjin City has many soldiers defending and its combat power is also superb. However, in the eyes of Venerable-level strong men, these defenses are useless. Even if they cannot kill so many soldiers head-on, they can safely shuttle and join the troops. Yu Sheng, who has been standing on the city wall, is even ready to face the Venerable-level strong men head-on, but a day has passed, and nothing has happened except for the continuous attack on the front.
Not knowing the enemy's intentions is the thing that has bothered the rest of his life the most. However, he knew the enemy's purpose, and now Huang Yuchen is hiding in the secret room underground in the martial arts mansion. Even if the enemy breaks into the city, it is not easy to find Huang Yuchen, let alone there is no danger in Pingjin City now.
Another attack was repelled by the defensive sergeant. The teleportation array light rose again in the distance. The same scene appeared again. The shadows of countless enemy soldiers appeared from the teleportation array. The enemy's phalanx gathered again, but this time, they did not attack immediately.
The enemy seemed to finally understand that it was impossible to break through the defense of the Eastern Prince's Mansion from the front with such a method.
The enemy troops in the distance were slowly gathering, Yu Sheng stood on the city wall, narrowing his eyes slightly, and quietly looking at the teleportation array in the distance.
The 30,000 cavalry who had withdrawn before had not joined the battle. The teleportation array kept teleporting the enemy over, and the cavalry's raid had no effect as expected. It is likely that the rash attack would cause unnecessary losses. The thousand soldiers who had attacked before died in the teleportation array, which also gave the rest of their lives a warning.
Since the enemy's attack is so weak, it cannot pose any substantial threat to Pingjin City, then there is no need to destroy this teleportation array. After all, the energy required to maintain the operation of the teleportation array is huge. I don't know how many people they have changed to output fighting energy in order to maintain the teleportation array, but obviously it will not be too small.
The light of the teleportation array flashed, and the enemy troops in front had already arranged a neat square array, but the flashing did not stop.
Yu Sheng looked from a distance, and with the flashing fluorescence of the teleportation array, he saw several individual figures appearing in the teleportation array.
"Here you come." Yu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and the master of Chihong Sect finally appeared.
