The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 448

[Chapter 443: Soldiers approach the city]

Just when Liu Zhaotou and the others left the restaurant, they were going to go back and figure out a way to find a way out.

At the same time, the governor’s yamen in the city also gathered two people with the most honorable status and power in Xijiang Province.

Li Cheng, the governor of Xijiang Province, is a sixth-order powerhouse, and he is also a very special legal powerhouse.

According to Li Cheng’s self-proclaimed, he got the inheritance of a loose senior, and then he went very far in the immortal way, and now he has become famous, and he has a place in the forest of the strong in the whole world.

“Master Xu, what should I do when the enemy is overwhelmed by the enemy?” Li Cheng, the governor-general, spoke first.

Although Li Cheng was the governor in charge of the military, he devoted himself to cultivation and did not manage any trivial affairs in the military, and he handed it over to the promise of the governor.

Governor Xu Ying glanced at Li Cheng, and was not surprised by his inquiry. This lunatic who was obsessed with cultivation, if the treatment offered by the court was not too generous, it was an indispensable resource for his cultivation. I am afraid that Li Cheng would not Will take over the errand of the Governor.

“Now the enemy forces have captured two state capitals in our province, and the 30,000 vanguards are approaching the city, and the situation is urgent. However, there are only 20,000 defenders in Pingyang City, and the strength is too weak. At this moment, it is a safe strategy to stand firm and wait for help. .” Governor Xu said with a slightly tight expression.

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the standing army of a province is 50,000, and the frontier army in each region can be doubled or several times.

As for the local security and defense, the militia-like troops of the Weisuo Army are in charge of them.

This time, in order to defend against the attack of the rebels on Zhong Yu’s side, a standing army of 30,000 was stationed in Huaiqing Prefecture, which is adjacent to Dongjiang Province, just to defend the enemy outside the country.

But for some unknown reason, the 30,000-strong army even blocked the enemy for a while, spreading the news so that the rear warning could not be done, and the 30,000-strong army came outside the city of Pingyang without a sound, directly threatening the politics of the entire Xijiang Province. center.

Judging from Xu Ying’s past experience, an army has about 30,000 pioneers, so its size is often more than 100,000, or even more.

Such a powerful military force, combined with a powerful formation, could not be resisted even by Li Cheng’s sixth-order cultivation.

Not to mention the rumored leader of the rebel army who personally defeated the Yellow Mountain Demon King.

As the Yellow Mountain Demon King who can be a disaster for a while, there is no need to say much about his own cultivation, Li Cheng himself has dealt with him several times.

At the time of the battle, the leader of the rebel army who was able to kill the Yellow Mountain Demon King was at a disadvantage, and he was really eager to find death.

“Forget it, the enemy’s army is strong, so let’s quickly ask for help from the neighboring states and provinces!” Li Cheng’s expression moved slightly, showing the meaning of struggle, but in the end he sighed and made the decision to ask for help.

“Very good, it’s really safe for your lord to think about it, I’ll do it now for my brother.” Governor Xu Ying was sure, and quickly agreed.

As a civilian, Xu Ying has never been interested in fighting and killing, but now if he hadn’t dealt with it, his position and life might not be guaranteed, so he wouldn’t care about fighting.

Now, seeing that he persuaded Li Cheng, who was in charge of the war, to stay in the city honestly to assist in the defense, he understood that most of his buttocks had been kept, and the next step was to repel the enemy.

The rescue messenger from Xijiang Province was dispatched quickly, and there were four groups of people in total.

Three of them went to the surrounding provinces of Xijiang Province for help, and the other went straight to the imperial capital of the imperial court and asked the emperor for the rescue of the Central Army.

What the entire Xijiang Province could not have imagined was that this time, the rebels they expected not only attacked Xijiang Province, but also attacked Huaixi Province and Huaidong Province, which are also adjacent to Dongjiang Province. Province.

Each of these two provinces has an army of more than 100,000 troops. In addition to Xijiang Province, which is the main attack direction, they remember that the rebels with only 100,000 troops dispatched 400,000 troops to attack the court, and every soldier There are more than three levels of cultivation.

The army was dispatched, and the momentum was shocking.

Xijiang Province was directly attacked under the provincial capital. Although the other two provinces were better, the prefectures on the left and right of the border were occupied, and the provincial capital also faced the threat of being attacked.

After 3 days, when Zhong Yu led the follow-up army to the foot of the city of Pingyang, the provincial capital of Xijiang Province was surrounded by an army of 200,000 people, and it was likely to overturn at any time.

Boom,

drums of war thunder.

Zhong Yu stood alone in the air, and he didn’t care about the countless eyes of fear, admiration, or hatred looking at him, and shouted directly to the city.

“The governor and governor of Xijiang Province listen, now you are surrounded, my army of 200,000 soldiers is under the city, it is easy to break the small town you wait for, and the wise surrender, otherwise there is absolutely no reason to take back the swordsmen together.

” , I am young but firm, and the city is small, but it is enough to stop you, we will start the war today, and I will not give up until you meet with blood.” Li Cheng, the governor of the city, saw Zhong Yu’s boast, and immediately counterattacked without any hesitation. He refused to surrender without hesitation.

Although Li Cheng didn’t care much about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, since he accepted the offerings of the Ming Dynasty, he must do his duty to protect the entire Xijiang Province.

Although the enemy is powerful now, Li Cheng’s duty cannot be abandoned. This is his perseverance as a martial artist.

“The clown jumping beam is stubborn, since you want to die, then I will fulfill you!” Zhong Yu was angry, dissatisfied with the ignorance of these people, so he gave up the plan to persuade surrender, and wanted to be ruthless. .

With a move, he moved towards Li Cheng in the city, but before he got close, UU read www.uukanshu.

Com was blocked by the great moat formation that appeared in the city in an instant, and it was difficult to enter.

As the capital of a province, the defense formation of Pingyang City is naturally powerful. With full horsepower, even if a seventh-order master wants to break through, it will take a lot of hands and feet, and there will be no time to think about it for several months.

Although Zhong Yu’s strength is strong, even if he is not inferior to the seventh rank, it is a fool’s dream to break this formation in an instant, and he can only stare outside the town in the end.

“Damn, do you only rely on foreign objects? Then I will break your luck. The army obeys the order and breaks this city for me.” Seeing that his footsteps were blocked, Zhong Yu’s face was full of unwillingness, and he That is, order the army to attack the city.

Although this layer of defense is high, under the combined siege of the 200,000 army, even if there is a formation, the army can also form a formation to offset it.

Under the interaction, the defensive advantage of the city wall has been greatly reduced.

If an army of 200,000 were to attack with all their strength regardless of losses, the results would be seen within three days, and the city would be destroyed within ten days.

And for such a short time, Zhong Yu can still afford to wait.
