Chapter 383: Heavenly Heroes
The mighty army of millions disappeared in that instant, and even half of the corpse could not be found, so the scene made Jing Rui a little speechless.
"Who did this, and why did they all disappear?" Hu Yun was also very surprised. He had been feeling uneasy since the power that had scared him in his heart just now, but he didn't expect this power to be so powerful.
If you use this kind of strength to attack a country, it is estimated that it will not take you a few days at all, and you will be able to expand your territory dozens of times! Of course, if you do this, you will be regarded as a sinner for the ages, after all, Emperor Wu has never done this, let alone others.
Now I saw a person slowly falling from the sky, at this time the eyebrows were clear, the eyes were golden and bright, the whole body was covered with red robes, even the hair had a hint of redness, and the skin was also yellow and a little red, looking like the sun.
I heard him look at Jing Rui and Hu Yun and speak: "It seems that I am not too late, you are still alive, and I have completed the task." ”
"Who are you, why are you helping me?" Looking at this celestial clan full of monarch breath, Jing Rui's heart was full of doubts.
"I am the Divine Monarch of Light, the Celestial Clan's Superior Divine Monarch. I have been ordered by the God King to rescue the two of them, and at the same time to send you back to the Dragon Kingdom, as for the rest, I don't know the rest, and you don't need to ask me. The Dawn Divine Monarch was straight-mouthed, but now one sentence broke Jing Rui's thoughts of continuing to ask.
"In that case, thank you. Knowing what the Dawn Divine Monarch meant, Jing Rui didn't ask any more, as for the questions in his heart, he knew that someone would be willing to tell him.
"Now that you're safe, I won't say more. I heard from the Tianyang Divine King, you have used the teleportation array before, so I don't want to teach you anything more, come here! Time is money, return to the Dragon Kingdom from here!" Saying that, the Dawn Divine Monarch drew a teleportation array on the ground with his soul power.
When Jingrui and Huyun walked into the array, he activated the teleportation array. Jing Rui made a cursory observation, this teleportation array was much smaller than the one that the Tianyang God King had made at the beginning, and its strength was much weaker.
But thinking about it, there are only three people at the moment, and there is really no need to waste soul power to cast such a powerful teleportation array. What's more, this place is not very far from the Empire, although the Dawn Divine Monarch is talking about the Dragon Kingdom, but he also knows that it is the empire he is referring to.
After all, Zhao Yulong is the only one who dares to call himself a dragon in the East, and as for the rest, it is estimated that Zhao Yulong will be able to know a thing or two when he finds Zhao Yulong in the Dragon Kingdom. After all, in Jing Rui's opinion, only Zhao Yulong was the only one who could find the Heavenly Clan.
At this time, the Tianyu Imperial City was surrounded by enemy troops in all directions. Since the invasion of the enemy's army, this road has been like a bamboo, and it did not take much time to reach the outside of the imperial city.
However, the enemy army seems to be waiting for some opportunity, and has only besieged and not attacked, but let this imperial city spend such a month or two in a trance.
Although this day is still comfortable, the civil and military officials in the imperial city, as well as those people, are not very comfortable. After all, the emperor didn't know when he would come back with his troops, and the two marshals also sent troops to expel the enemy army.
The only remaining marshal in the city disappeared the day after the enemy siege of the city. No one knows where he went, and no one knows when he will return.
The only thing I know is that there is no presence of him in the enemy camp, so he should not have surrendered to the enemy yet.
But the great enemy is at present, the emperor is not there, the marshal is not there, and there are only two troops in the city, how to deal with such a strong enemy?
Although I survived the first two months, it was because the enemy did not attack. But there is always a time for them to attack, after all, human patience is limited.
Moreover, even if they did not send troops to attack the city, they would have been surrounding the city like this, and the grain and grass would not be able to enter and exit.
This time is shorter, and it can still be survived, but if it is a long time, the city will have to run out of food! Seeing that the price of grain in the city is getting higher and higher, it is estimated that there will be a shortage of food in the near future, which makes these ministers feel infinite anxiety in their hearts.
"How is this good? The Holy One has not returned, but this city is about to be undefended, if we wait for the Holy Lord to come back and find that this imperial city has changed hands, aren't we sinners?"
"Why don't we think so, but neither of us can lead troops, and we won't command the battle at the moment, and the only thing we can do is to die for our country!" said another courtier, who was also anxious.
However, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department could see it clearly: "If you are martyred, you will be martyred! What's more, before there was a saint, we were just ordinary people. It is also a blessing from God to sit in such a high position now. Although I haven't been in office for a few years now, I have enjoyed a few years of peace and prosperity, which is enough, and I am worthy of Your Majesty when I die!"
"Well, what Shang Shu said is reasonable. Anyway, we will always die, what can we do earlier? Anyway, we are all going to die, and if we die early, we may be able to be reincarnated as soon as possible, and I just hope that Your Majesty's peaceful and prosperous world can continue!"
As he was talking, a soldier ran in: "Evacuate quickly, a few adults! The enemy army, the enemy army has already begun to attack the city! If a few adults don't leave again, I'm afraid there will be no chance!"
"Let's go, yes! It's time for us to go!" said the ministers, who stood up from their seats and looked at the soldiers: "Lead the way!
The soldier thought he hadn't heard, "What do you mean?"
"The soldiers are all fighting bloody battles, how can we, as ministers of the court, be greedy for life and fear death, and steal our lives? Speaking of which, it is also our business to protect our family and defend the country. We can't hold a lot of weapons, but killing one or two enemies shouldn't be a problem. Lead the way!" said the ministers, drawing their swords from their waists.
When Zhao Yulong chose a minister, he always only looked at his ability, not his strength. As long as you can do this well, it is not recommended in any realm.
Therefore, among these ministers, in fact, many of them are people who have not cultivated. It would be hard to pull out this saber now, but it didn't matter, at least in their opinion, if they could pull it out, they would have a chance to kill.
But in their view, their lives should be meaningful, and they can't live just for the sake of living.
Therefore, at this moment, they knew that going to the battlefield meant death, but they still walked towards the battlefield without hesitation. One of the officials even quipped: "What about dying? It's just a sleep when you close your eyes and don't open your eyes, and since you have to go to sleep every night, what about sleeping a little longer this time?"
As he spoke, the other ministers laughed. They smiled very kindly, and almost all of them had sincerity. Those ministers who usually quarrel because of political disagreements, and no one can tolerate anyone, are smiling so sincerely at this moment.
Perhaps those former grievances have been written off in the face of the survival of the country! In short, death has made them meaningless, and loyalty to the empire has made them fearless.
Now that they have come to the city wall, they can see that these enemy troops are constantly pouring towards the city wall. Thousands of ladders were constantly erecting on the city walls, and outside the city, tens of thousands of soldiers were pouring towards the walls.
The rain of arrows and cannonballs flying in the sky, coupled with the two armies that blended together, actually made the usually serious and deserted imperial capital lively. Almost everyone joined in the fun, although it wasn't a fun event.
Because in this war, there will always be one side that will lose a mess. But it doesn't matter, at least the process is perfect, everyone does their best, and it's already perfect.
The enemy had an army of 200,000 men, and there were hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city. They didn't have specialized weapons, or armor, though. But at least they all have something that can kill people, and more importantly, they all have a heart to protect their home and country.
Having tasted the benefits of the peaceful and prosperous times, they became absolutely intolerant of the rule of other dynasties, because there was no such fair country except the empire.
So for the sake of this country, and for their children and grandchildren to be treated fairest in the future, they want to fight.
Just like those generals who love war say, war is not the ultimate goal, only peace is the ultimate goal that everyone aspires to. But in order to reach the end goal, you need to fight for it.
Yes, fight for it, these civilians did just that. They took everything they could use in their home to benefit the whole battle, pacified their wives and children, and went out.
In this imperial capital, almost all the prime of life gathered on the city walls, or behind the city gates. Among these people, some are in high positions of authority, and some are of low status.
But at this moment, no one remembers what the other party's status is and what his identity is. All they know is that now, these people around them will die with them.
Maybe someone will survive after the war, but the most likely thing is to die. But life and death don't matter anymore, as long as the empire survives, they still have a chance.
Maybe they will all be, but as long as their descendants can still live and such a country can still exist, then they will die without regrets!
Therefore, almost everyone waited, waiting for the moment when the city gate was breached by enemy troops. Because that is the greatest embodiment of their personal value, and it is also the most meaningful thing they have ever done in their lives.
Gradually, there were more and more ladders on the city walls, and from time to time enemy troops climbed the city walls. Although they were all eventually killed by the guards on the walls, there was no doubt that the enemy was attacking with increasing ferocity.
And the strong city gate, at this moment, in the constant crashing sound, is already crumbling, and it is estimated that it will not be long before this city gate is about to be unable to hold on.
But the soldiers in the city, and the people, had never been so excited. Almost everyone was waiting for this moment, and the sound of "bang!" banging on the city gate was beating with the sound of a heartbeat.
There were a few more "bangs, bangs!" sounds, and the walls were finally breached in the impact. The enemy thinks they have won, but they don't think it's just the beginning.
Tens of thousands of people in the city did not flee when they saw the enemy army breaking through the city, but met them with weapons. At this time, they seemed to go crazy, and smashed everything that could hit the enemy, and if there was really nothing, they hit with their fists and gnawed with their teeth.
In short, they used everything that could hurt the enemy, even if it was only a small injury. Because they know that what is behind them is not only a city, but also a country and a home.
Everyone is afraid of death, and of course they are not exempt, but they have no way out, and almost everyone has gone crazy at this critical juncture for the survival of the country. They no longer regard themselves as human beings, but as humanoid war machines, forgetting about life and death, and even falling to the front.
Never before had the enemy been subjected to such frantic resistance, and now they were afraid. Yes, having experienced many wars, for the first time they understood what horror is and what it means to be terrible.
These soldiers and civilians defending the city are like madmen who don't want to die, completely ignoring the pain on their bodies, even if they die, they will bite someone. This situation frightened these enemy troops and made them somewhat vain.
What kind of country will make these people die, and what kind of rule will make these people so calm in the face of the enemy.
These enemy forces have no way of knowing, and they have no way of knowing. All they knew was that these people were crazy, and the people of this city were crazy, and they would not let go of anyone who tried to kill them.
In this way, the enemy army was forced out of the city under the attack of batches. But they didn't give up, so how could they be willing to throw away the fat in their mouths like this?
They want to kill it, this is their mission, and it is also the order of the corps commander. Although the so-called corps commander only watched from a distance and did not participate in the war, at least his majesty was still here, so every soldier had to die for his life.
At present, although these soldiers are attacking rapidly, their dedication to life is insignificant in the face of these soldiers who do not want to die.
Although the damage of these civilians was much higher than that of these enemy troops, the enemy army just couldn't attack the city, and no matter how much they intensified the offensive, they would always be defeated.
And those civilians and the defenders are also alert, and at this time they only stay in the city, but they do not kill them. Just wait in the city for the enemy to come in and then drive them out.
For they all know that the number of people in the city is far less than that of the enemy, and if they go out, they will be killed. Guarding the gates of the city, where there are not many people coming in and out, was the only measure they could take.
They don't know how effective it will be or how long they will be doing it. But in the hearts of everyone there is such a belief that the next moment, maybe the next moment the emperor will return, and the marshals will return.
They will drive away these enemy forces, drive out any threats to the Imperial City, and restore peace to the place.
And in order to wait until that moment, they knew they had to hold on. Although they didn't know how long it would last, they knew they had to hold on, because then the marshal or the emperor would not come back and find that the imperial city had changed hands.
They could not disappoint the Emperor, even though it was only a young Emperor, although he had not been in power for many years. But he has only done what other emperors have not been able to do for thousands of years, and he has made hundreds of people live in this world.
Undoubtedly, he was a great emperor. Although it is inevitably controversial to say this, at least in the hearts of these people, there is no better emperor in the world, and there is no better dynasty than this.
So for the sake of this young and great emperor, and for the sake of this most perfect dynasty, they knew that they had to hold on. They can't let the emperor down, and they can't let the world down.
But the strength of these civilians is limited after all, and the number of defenders is not too large. After three days and three nights, they finally closed their eyes.
Almost all of them thought this way before they fell, and they had seen through death as early as the moment the war began, but the only regret was that they could not keep the imperial city and the country.
When the last man who could still wield his weapon fell, they despaired, and the empire was inevitably destroyed.
But at the moment when the man fell, they heard a voice, many sounds to be exact. It was a voice from the sky, as if the heavenly soldiers were descending to earth.
They wanted to open their eyes, but they found that they were too tired to open their eyes and see what was going on. But that familiar voice still reminded them of a person, the emperor!
"Those who offend my rivers and mountains must not live in vain!" At the same time as Zhao Yulong said this, he and Meng Liang fell into the imperial city with thousands of heavenly soldiers.
Although these thousands are far from the 200,000 or so of the enemy army, all of them are strong people above the Soul Condensation Realm. There are even several powerhouses in the Soldier Soul Realm, how can they be compared to this ordinary person?
The enemy soldiers were proud of the capture of the Imperial City, and they saw them fall from the sky. Before he could react, he saw a bloody light, and the heads of those soldiers were divided like watermelons.
The commander of the enemy army was also stupid at this time, and was about to make a move, but he was stabbed by Zhao Yulong's soul sword and died!
Seeing the appearance of these heavenly soldiers, the inner defense line of these enemy troops has already collapsed, and now that the commander is dead, he naturally can't hold it anymore.
At this time, regardless of the difference in numbers between the two sides, he threw his weapon and began to run out of the city. But even if Zhao Yulong was willing to let them go, those heavenly soldiers would not agree.
After all, didn't they come all the way here just to kill them? How could they let them go now? Therefore, not a single person in the army of more than 200,000 people could escape during the slaughter of several hours.
