Chapter 1181: Prepare for war with all your might

If it was before, hearing Xia Fan say this, Xia Yu would inevitably be sarcastic.

But after seeing the soldiers and horses in his Heaven Swallowing Pocket, Xia Hu really couldn't refute it. After all, the soldiers and horses in Swallowing Heaven's pocket were only carried by Xia Fan, and many of them were not around at all. Three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses are really nothing to him.

"But I advise you not to rebel again. Xia Fan looked at Xia Hu and the others: "I will go to the capital later, after killing the emperor, I will put the thirteen princes on the throne, and if you are still making waves in the Han Dynasty at that time, then maybe we will be on the right side again." ”

When Xia Hu heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "The three of us don't know what to do, why don't you show us the way?"

"I can't say it right now. Xia Fan shook his head and said, "You better think about it yourself, if you really don't have any ideas, you can talk about it in the future." ”

While speaking, Xia Fan released Xia Feng from the Heavenly Tribulation and handed it over to Xia Hu and the three of them to dispose of, but told them to be sure to do what was in front of them before leaving directly.

"It seems that he really has no intention of being emperor. Xia Yu watched Xia Fan's figure disappear, and then said.

"Yes. Xia Hu said: "Seeing that the things we have been trying our best to compete for are worthless in his eyes, and they are obviously at their fingertips, but he wants to give them to others, I suddenly have no interest in being the king and hegemon." ”

"Me too. Xia Yu nodded.

"What should you do with this guy?" Xia Lei suddenly pointed to Xia Feng, who was banned from his mana, and asked with an unhappy face.

"Uh......" Xia Hu hesitated.

.....................

On the official road to the capital, nearly 600,000 troops are advancing rapidly.

At the forefront was the 100,000 cavalry led by Xia Xueqin, followed by the 500,000 army under Xia Fan's command composed of the demon army, demon soldiers and the elite of the multi-armed clan.

Just Xia Xue's 100,000 cavalry was already unstoppable, not to mention that there were three clans accompanying him, so that along the way, although he had reached the hinterland of the Han Dynasty and was getting closer and closer to the capital, he had never encountered any organized soldiers and horses who dared to jump out to block it.

This made Xia Xue, who has always been belligerent, both surprised and bored.

The surprise was naturally because I remembered that when they led their troops to come before, there were almost no soldiers and horses to stop them all the time, and it was really one battle after another, and I felt palpitations in retrospect.

And boring is that he feels that he marches all the way to the capital, but he doesn't even have a hard battle, so it's too easy to win.

Compared with the two, Xia Xue felt more and more that it was really a wrong choice to join forces with Xia Hu and others, how could it be easier to take refuge in Xia Fan.

Of course, the Han Dynasty has been established for so long, although it is greedy for life and afraid of death, there are also generals who are willing to die in order to protect the territory.

It's just that for the current Han Dynasty, the previous wars consumed too many elite soldiers and horses, and the previous battle outside the Babu Ridge made the elite in Liu Xingchen's hands almost annihilated.

So much so that by this time, there were not many elites in the cities along the way who could fight, and most of them were miscellaneous soldiers.

Not to mention the fierce and vicious army of the three clans, even in the face of 100,000 cavalry, they can only be crushed.

In this way, even if there are ministers and generals who want to resist desperately, in the end, they will only take the lives of themselves and some soldiers and horses who are willing to follow them in vain.

By now, many shrewd officials have realized that the big ship of the Han Dynasty is afraid that it is about to sink, and the change of dynasty may not be long after, so many officials and important local families have begun to think about other things.

As the saying goes: the tree falls down, and the wall falls and everyone pushes it.

Now the big tree of the Han Dynasty has not completely fallen, but the hearts of the people are almost scattered.

If it weren't for the demon clan, the demon clan and the army of the multi-armed clan, they would look weird at first glance, which made people feel frightened in their hearts, so that many people were afraid that their hearts would be different from those of our race and they would not dare to bet easily, otherwise I am afraid that Xia Xue and others would have taken the initiative to take refuge all the way.

However, Xia Xue still met a lot of people who wanted to take refuge in her. It's just that she rejected them one by one.

Because Xia Xue knew in her heart that she was no longer one of the famous Eight Tigers of the Xia family, but Xia Fan's subordinates.

Before Xia Fan officially stated whether she would accept these people's surrenders, she had no right to agree, otherwise she would only get into trouble.

Thus the silent march continued, and after seeing the strength and fierceness of the 600,000 soldiers, more and more people began to submit to it.

When the towering walls of the capital appeared in Xia Xue's field of vision, Xia Fan appeared in the army.

"Long live the Lord!" "Long live the Lord!" At the moment when Xia Fan appeared, the army of the three clans, which had been moving forward in silence before, suddenly erupted into an earth-shattering shout.

At this moment, the sound was like a thunderous tsunami, as if the whole world was shaken.

At this moment, the distant city wall suddenly lit up with a series of lights, and then condensed into a thick layer of spiritual light to cover the entire capital.

It looked as if the defenders of the city were frightened by the shouts of the three clans, so they opened the city protection array to protect themselves.

In fact, many people in the capital may not have heard the amazing shouts of the three clans, but they were surprised to see the city protection array fully opened, and even had a very ominous premonition.

"This Han Dynasty won't be about to die, right?!" Many people and officials in the capital came up with such thoughts.

Everyone knows that the capital has a unique protective array, but there are really not many people who have actually seen it fully opened.

This is because in the past thirty or forty years, the Great Han Dynasty has been so powerful that even in the face of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, a huge empire like the Tianyu Empire is not afraid at all, and when it comes to other small countries, it is even more crushing, so that it has not encountered the enemy's invasion and invaded the hinterland for a long time.

Not to mention that the capital of this great dynasty was attacked. Therefore, of course, the city protection array has never been fully opened.

In private, many officials have said: My Han Dynasty is at its peak in national strength, proud of the world, we have never been the only one to fight others, how can there ever be someone else to fight us, even if there is no city protection array has been towering city walls, the capital is safe inside and outside.

Because of these words, I don't know how many people in the capital shouted loudly at that time, and they all felt that it was pleasant to listen to.

Perhaps it was because I had heard such words a lot and penetrated deep into my heart, so when I saw that this great array of city protectors was fully opened, I couldn't help but panic even more.

Just because in the eyes of the vast majority of people, since the Han Dynasty does not need to open the capital's protective array when it is peaceful, then on the other hand, when the entire protective array begins to operate at full capacity, won't it be at the juncture when the Great Han Dynasty is no longer peaceful, or even life and death?

Inside the Royal Palace.

Liu Xingchen, who hurried back, didn't have time to catch his breath and passed down one holy decree after another.

“...... Order the city defense battalion to open the city defense array and strictly guard against all incoming enemies......"

“...... Order the troops at all levels in the capital to return to the construction as soon as possible, and be on standby at any time to prepare for the enemy, and those who do not return to the construction within the time limit will be considered deserters and killed........."

“...... Ordered all families in the capital to send their families to serve in the army, and killed the enemy meritoriously, and those who retreated from the battle were considered deserters and killed........."

“...... Ordered the various cultivation sects and cultivation families of the Han Dynasty to send elite disciples in the sect and the elite of the family to serve in Beijing, and those who performed exceptionally were seriously injured, and those who did not pass the buck or were indiscriminately punished, and ...... were severely punished."

“...... With the Hidden Dragon Guard, the Worship Courtyard will dispatch its elite ......"

............

Liu Xingchen seemed to have anticipated the current situation for a long time, so that he had already prepared a plan in his heart, so he either spoke or wrote by hand, and mobilized all the forces he could mobilize when many holy decrees were issued.

The city defense battalion was undoubtedly the fastest to react, and the total number of more than 300,000 of them walked up to the city and began to defend the most unprecedentedly defensive line of the capital, looking at the 600,000 enemies who came with the smoke and dust in the sky through a thick formation.

Subsequently, the Qianlong Guard and the Offering Courtyard, two institutions that were often pinched each other, but were all loyal to Liu Xingchen, also operated at a high speed.

In fact, although Xia Fan had experienced a big disturbance in the capital not long ago, which caused a lot of losses to the personnel of the Qianlong Guard and the Worship Academy, more and more powerful cultivators wearing the unique official uniforms of the Qianlong Guard and the Offering Courtyard appeared on the streets of the Han Dynasty, and many people who thought that the Qianlong Guard and the Offering Courtyard had been seriously injured realized that as a mysterious force tightly pinched in the hands of the emperor, they were far more powerful than outsiders imagined.

The powers that have been revealed so far seem to be just the tip of the iceberg.

When I saw the power that the emperor was accumulating, the families in the capital had to send the family that raised me to serve the emperor.

At this time, especially when the emperor has not yet shown signs of decadence, no one dares to be sloppy in this kind of thing, otherwise, it is a joke with the lives of the whole family.

Especially when the Qianlong Guard and the people of the Worship Courtyard have taken to the streets, the deterrent effect on the various families in the capital is definitely quite powerful.

It was as if the emperor was whispering a warning: If you hide your power and refuse to obey my will, then the Qianlong Guard and the Offering Courtyard will break into your house and destroy your house.

No one can ignore the majesty of the Emperor, especially when the Emperor who has only recently ascended the throne has already shown his talent and his toughness and ruthlessness that are very different from before, and no one dares to disobey his will.

And when he received the holy decree personally sent by several newly promoted vice presidents of the worship institute, such as the Qinglian Sect, the Xingyue Sect, and the Immortal Sect, which had either voluntarily or helplessly, half-pushed and half-threw themselves into the cultivation sects of the Han Dynasty, after a moment of hesitation, they sent many elders to personally lead the elite of the sect to help defend the city.

With the three sects as an example, the other small and medium-sized sects naturally did not dare to disobey them.

There are even quite a few cultivation families that are not very famous, and even take the initiative to send the elite children of their families to the capital to help in the war.
