The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 449

[Chapter 444: City Break]

Huaixi and Huaidong provinces were already too busy to take care of themselves. They were each attacked by Zhong Yu’s two partial troops. Although the situation was not as critical as Xijiang Province, it was not much better.

As for Lunan Province, which is behind Xijiang Province, the entire province has an army of no more than 50,000 people. At this moment, I heard that Zhong Yu’s army of 200,000 people invaded Xijiang, and at the same time, the two surrounding provinces were also in emergency. Easy to send troops to support.

In this way, the army that can send troops to support is only the 100,000 forbidden troops in the central imperial capital of the imperial court.

These 100,000 banned troops are the foundation of the entire dynasty, the foundation of the suppression of the Ming Dynasty, and all of them have the strength of the fourth rank or above.

Unless this army is in danger of destroying the country, it is stationed in the capital to protect the emperor, and it cannot be moved lightly.

Therefore, if the emperor wants to send troops to support Xijiang Province, the only way is to draw some reinforcements from the inland provinces, and then send them to support.

However, there were only seven inland provinces in the entire Ming Dynasty. Dongjiang Province had already been captured, and Xijiang Province, Huaidong Province, and Huaixi Province had been affected by the war again, and it was difficult for them to protect themselves.

The only ones that can be recruited are the southern and northern provinces of Shandong, as well as the northern province of Hebei.

In these three provinces, except for some basic defense personnel, it is estimated that only about 100,000 reinforcements can be dispatched.

Such a small number of troops is nothing to Zhong Yu.

Not to mention, it will be a month or two after the reinforcements are dispatched and sent to the front line. At that time, the city of Pingyang has been broken, and Xijiang Province has long been captured.

So Zhong Yu has plenty of time, and he can consume it slowly.

This is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty was dragged down by the Jin Dynasty in the north, and the usual mobile troops were dispatched. At the same time, the border provinces had to defend against the attacks of other countries, and there was really no way to quell the rebellion.

Otherwise, Zhong Yu would not dare to pick three provinces from one province so arrogantly.

The formation of the army was quickly launched, and countless rays of light of different colors lit up in the army formation, and finally turned into various mysterious shapes, becoming deadly attacks one after another.

Hurala!

Almost in an instant, thousands of powerful attacks slammed into the defensive formation of the city, and each attack was equivalent to the full blow of a fifth-order powerhouse.

Under such a strong attack, the defense formation of Pingyang City swayed, and ripples appeared, but in the end it did not break open.

“Interesting, as expected of the defensive formation of a province, it really has some strength.” Zhong Yu said in admiration.

If the attack from the army just now was concentrated together, even Zhong Yu would not dare to say that he could resist it.

But now such a powerful attack was so easily taken down by this city’s defense formation, how could Zhong Yu not be surprised.

But what if he could block an attack? Zhong Yu’s army of 200,000 people took turns to go into battle, and a mere array of formations was trapped in the lonely city, what could be done with it.

Time flies, five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

With these five days of uninterrupted attacks, the formation of the entire city has been crumbling, and the originally scorching light has become extremely dim, and it seems to be extinguished at any time.

“Okay, the chance to break the formation is now.”

Zhong Yu glanced at the ruined city in front of him, got up and smiled.

The whole body exudes a strong momentum, and the almost endless true essence quickly converges on the palms of both hands with Zhong Yu’s mobilization.

The two palms were facing each other up and down, and a blood sword gradually emerged in the center. With the infusion of true essence, the blood sword became more and more terrifying, and the endless sharpness was surrounding it.

“go!”

Zhong Yu let out a small snort, and the blood sword spewed out from both palms, stabbing at the dilapidated formation in front of him at an extremely fast speed.

With a snort, the formation was broken.

All the defenders who were hiding behind the formation and were struggling to resist were all horrified, and their words of despair were evident.

“The formation… just… just broken?” a middle-aged man dressed as a general on the city wall murmured, his face still full of disbelief.

The generals and soldiers beside him also looked horrified and desperate.

Although they knew that under the attack of the 200,000 army, the city defense was destined to be broken, but they did not expect it to come so quickly.

“Isn’t losing so fast? Everyone stood up for me. Until the last moment, the last person will not die, and must not give up!” Governor Li Cheng felt bad when he saw that the formation was broken.

Now, seeing that the morale of the defenders in the whole city has plummeted, and they have given up their resistance for a while, and they will be killed when they are hand-in-hand.

After he finished speaking, Li Cheng flew up from the tower and flew towards Zhong Yu, who was facing him. He had already crossed countless distances.

“Yes… Lord Governor.” A soldier looked at the figure in the sky and said in surprise.

“Yeah, the Governor-General is a strong warrior at the level of Martial Saint. If he makes a move, the enemy will definitely not be able to win!” A general kept saying as if he had caught a life-saving straw.

When the other soldiers heard the words, they also looked at the incomparably stalwart figure in the sky. In their eyes, the figure was so great and safe, which supported their hearts.

Whoosh!

There was a thunderous sound, and I saw the blood sword that was originally transformed into the formation method quickly circled and flew back.

The blood sword was extremely fast, spanning the spatial distance, and in the blink of an eye, it came to Governor Li Cheng and stabbed him.

Li Cheng had just heard the sound of thunder and was already prepared. At this moment, when he saw a flying sword coming from behind him, even if he was prepared, he was extremely horrified.

He just saw the power of this flying sword.

In a single blow, the defense formation was broken. Even if this formation was at the end of its streak, its defensive power was extremely extraordinary.

The Feijian that can break through the big formation is naturally extremely powerful, and it is definitely not something that Li Cheng can block.

It’s just that Feijian was extremely fast, even though Li Cheng made a dodging move, he was still a few steps late.

The flying sword passed through his body, pierced his shoulder, and was only a few inches away from his heart, which was extremely dangerous.

Severe pain appeared all over the body, and countless sharp sword qi was continuously destroyed in the body. The corrosive nature of the blood sword was also withering Li Cheng’s flesh and blood, making his injury more and more serious.

However, before he could take good care of himself, Feijian flew through his body and flew over again, and stabbed him in the direction of his heart again, as if he would not give up until his goal was achieved.

sonorous.

The sound of Feijian hitting a hard object sounded, and a khaki-yellow mask suddenly appeared on Li Cheng’s chest, but he blocked it abruptly with his own extremely strong reinforcements.

However, after this blow, his True Essence was also consumed a lot, and the khaki-yellow mask in front of him was thinned by a few points.

“Interesting, you can actually pick up a few tricks from me, but I want to see how long you can wait.” Zhong Yu didn’t care when he saw that his attack was blocked, but rather admired Li Cheng’s strength.

Immediately, Feijian was urged to attack quickly, and brilliance appeared in the sky. This was the vision that occurred when the two fought.

After the number is combined, all brilliance disappears.

As one of the combatants, Li Cheng clutched his chest, spitting out blood from the corners of his mouth, stood in the air for a few seconds, and then fell straight down.

Li Cheng failed.

After losing the strongest combat power, Pingyang City couldn’t keep it.

The entire Xijiang Province will also completely open its chest and allow Zhong Yu to be ravaged.
