Chapter 260: Who Counts Whom
When twilight fell, Wu Fanghai stood in the wind, and the bleak autumn wind blew his gray hair and beard.
The years are not forgiving, and Rao is the infancy, nor is it immortal.
Wu Fanghai is almost at the end of his life. He could also feel that his body and cultivation were beginning to decline. Of course, with a strong foundation, this recession could be ten or twenty years.
It's just that in my lifetime, can I 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: If you don't break it, you can't stand it!
Today's interior of the country of Qixia needs to be cleaned! The cancer in the country's body needs to be pulled out.
But these tumors have been attached to the country of Qixia for thousands of years, and if you want to pull it out, you must ...... Scrape bones to cure poison!
If you want to clean up all the cancers in the country, you need to "die in the country". There is a way that the country is difficult to produce loyal ministers, and Liu Xinyu needs to use the 'dead country' to complete the cleanup within the empire.
Let's see how everyone behaved after the 'death of the country'.
Of course, the Wu family and Wu Fanghai's performance has won Liu Xinyu's trust. The most important thing is that to 'act', you also need 'excellent actors'. And Wu Fanghai, the hussar general, is one of the best actors.
In fact, if possible, Liu Xinyu didn't want to inform Wu Fanghai. But Liu Xinyu understands that if he doesn't inform him, with Wu Fanghai's character, he will definitely 'die with the city'.
In order not to let this old general make any drastic choices, Liu Xinyu could only give notice in advance.
Night gradually fell, and the defense line of Qixia finally ...... Retreat to the walls of the imperial capital. It was destined to be a sleepless night.
Liu Xinyu personally came to the city wall to supervise the battle - because he was only the regent, he could not be regarded as a royal conquest.
It's just that even if Liu Xinyu appears, morale is still not high.
Liu Dingshan appeared in the sky, he revealed his cultivation in the middle stage of the gods, and confronted Zhao Kai and Zhao Ying, father and daughter.
The magic of illumination swirled in the sky, illuminating a radius of dozens of miles. Outside the city, the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang is like a black wave, and there is no edge in sight. Inside the city, however, there was a panicked crowd.
At this moment, even if you are numb, you have to face a reality - it is really possible to lose the country!
Sima Zhen flew into the air and shouted: "The regent of the country of Qixia is here?"
Liu Xinyu snorted coldly: "Sima Zhen, what do you want to say?"
"Your Royal Highness the Regent, in fact, the war between our two countries could have been avoided. However, because of your country's insistence, it has led to the current situation.
As we all know, we, the six countries in the West, have always been oppressed by the East. Therefore, the emperor contacted the kingdoms several times to form a unified state.
However, for the sake of their own selfish interests, the royal families of various countries have repeatedly refused, ignoring the reality of the West's predicament and ignoring the people.
Seeing that the West was becoming more and more difficult, for the sake of the long-term interests of the West, the Emperor had to launch a war to unify the West!
This is admired by all the people of the West!
Your Royal Highness the Regent, this is the time, are you still obsessed?"
Liu Xinyu laughed angrily at Sima Zhen's nonsense: "Sima Zhen, is it true that the country of Jinyang is all like you?"
Well, when we were negotiating, your Emperor of the Kingdom of Jinyang was very majestic, and said that the best way to unify was to marry, and your Emperor was ready to select a woman from every family, noble, and sect to fill the harem. It is also necessary for the royal families of various countries to send princesses.
In addition, it is necessary to collect and summarize everyone's exercises, and send the masters of the country of Jinyang to live in the major families.
Is this what you call for the West?
Naturally, we can't agree to such an absurd thing. ”
The conversation between Sima Zhen and Liu Xinyu caused an uproar all around. And Sima Zhen was even more dumbfounded.
In fact, what Sima Zhen said was naturally nonsense. But at this time, you always have to put a gold on yourself. And under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the other party to perfect the next step in the face of such words. No, obviously, no.
But Sima Zhen didn't expect Liu Xinyu to be a capable person, so he followed his own words and pulled it down. This time, Sima Zhen was embarrassed to answer.
Lift a stone to shoot yourself in the foot! Sima Zhen really wants to slap himself and make you talk nonsense. But since it has already been said, I can only bite the bullet and continue:
"Your Highness said that there is no such thing!" (He himself denied it.) )
"Oh...... Is it true? Am I mistaken?" Liu Xinyu sneered, and suddenly snorted coldly: "However, the country of Qixia will never surrender!
Attack!"
At the time of speaking, the artillery on the walls of the city had long been ready. During this period of time, the number of mortars in Wu Fanghai's hands has exceeded 2,000, and the number of large artillery pieces has also exceeded 200. Now all these weapons have been moved to the city.
With Liu Xinyu's order, all the shells were sent out instantly.
But the country of Jinyang is also on guard, and there have long been enchantments and spells blocking the sky above the army. Earthen artillery was also pushed to the front line.
The biggest advantage of these earthen cannons is: siege!
Thousands of earthen cannons set fire on the city gates. At this moment, the solid cannonball burst out with its due power.
The defensive enchantment on the Imperial City trembled wildly, especially at the city gate. Even if the barrier is strong enough, it is gradually becoming problematic in the face of thousands of artillery attacks. The formation became weaker and weaker, and cracks began to appear in the surrounding walls.
This is a war like never before. The corps on both sides stood by almost nothing, only the artillery of both sides roared.
The artillery of the Kingdom of Jinyang was a kilometer away, bombarding the city gates. Every time the fire attacked, the city gates shook. Cracks gradually appeared in the walls, and some rocks began to loosen. Stone chips and dust fall in a flurry.
And the artillery of the country of Qixia also continued to concentrate fire to attack the legions of the country of Jinyang. Although the country of Jinyang is prepared, the explosion of thousands of shells is still not something that flesh and blood can stop.
Every attack is a bloodbath. Explosions, shock waves, and shrapnel tore the ground over, and the light of artillery fire reflected the sky red.
Compared to the earth artillery of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the artillery attack distance of the Land of Qixia can easily exceed five or six kilometers. Especially now that the artillery is erected on the top of the city, the attack distance is even longer.
It's just that Sima Zhen protected his artillery camp layer by layer, which made Liu Xinyu itch with hatred.
In order to protect his artillery corps, Sima Zhen actually used several top-notch mountain protection arrays. In a moment or three, it can be called indestructible.
High in the air, Liu Dingshan was attacked by Zhao Kai and Zhao Ying, 'retreating one after another, overstretched, and roaring again and again'.
The roar of artillery echoed through the heavens and the earth, and in about a moment, the gates of the country of Qixia collapsed with a bang. The wall at a height of hundreds of meters slowly sloped, and the last section of the kilometer-long wall smashed to the ground.
Sima Zhen let out a long roar, "Everyone, the city gate has been opened, what are you waiting for!"
The shout seemed to be headless. But at the same time as the words fell, there was a sudden fire in Guangling City, and then I saw that one family after another "made the right choice".
Many family forces rushed out one after another and launched an attack on the guards, palaces, palaces, and city wall defenses of the country of Qixia.
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, laughing very strangely, and seemed to laugh angrily, and seemed to mock, "This city...... I can't keep it. But if you want to retreat safely, you must teach the enemy a lesson. ”
Outside the city, the legions of the Kingdom of Jinyang approached like the waves of the sea, and they shouted to catch Wu Fanghai and catch the regent, and they charged frantically. The imperial capital of a country is ahead!
It's glory, and it's 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 fuse quickly sank into the ground, and after only a dozen breaths, the earth dragon turned over, the flames soared into the sky, and countless soldiers flew up hundreds of meters into the air.
No one could describe the tragedy of that moment, and in the future, countless survivors of the Kingdom of Jinyang would tremble with fear every time they mentioned this night.
No one could have imagined that at the last moment, the country of Qixia would have such a tragic means. The ground was hollowed out, and more than three hundred tons of explosives were buried.
Only Liu Xinyu was silently appreciating. This moment is silent.
Loud voice!
But seeing that the ground in front of him suddenly broke open, a 'fire dragon' about 800 meters wide and more than 10 kilometers long rushed out from the ground, and the dazzling white light, dark red flames, black smoke, and soil rushed into the sky one after another, covering the east of Guangling City, and the forward of the Kingdom of Jinyang was almost 1780,000 elites, completely covered.
Those who can rush to the front are the real elite.
Then billowing black smoke rushed into the sky, and the sky was filled with broken dirt, screaming people, corpses, and so on.
The flames tumbled for a while, and then the heaven and earth suddenly reappeared, and it seemed that the heavens and the earth were torn apart. The earth trembled, the moat boiled, and the walls crumbled in patches.
Wu Fanghai looked at the tumbling gunsmoke and calmly ordered: "Withdraw!"
Because of the arrangements in advance, Wu Fanghai took the carefully selected 50,000 elites, and retreated to the rear of Guangling City in an orderly manner with Liu Xinyu and a few others.
Guangling City fell.
High in the sky, Zhao Kai and Zhao Ying, who were fighting against Liu Dingshan, were dumbfounded. They looked at the tumbling flames in shock, and they felt a little cold in their hands and feet.
Liu Dingshan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but he seized this opportunity and slashed at Zhao Ying with the power of the 'peak of the mid-stage transformation of gods'.
This time the explosion came suddenly and violently, but Liu Dingshan had already prepared. This sword went down, and by the time Zhao Ying and Zhao Kai reacted, it was already too late. The flying sword brutally tore through Zhao Ying's defenses, and the power of top steel burst out at this moment.
There was a terrible scream from the sky, and Zhao Ying's left arm was cut off by Liu Dingshan's shoulder.
This time, Zhao Kai and Zhao Ying were really stunned.
"Ah......" Zhao Kai was furious, and the wind roared all over his body.
