Xuanzheng Palace.

Bian Que walked in with a medicine box and treated Qiu Ba's injuries directly in front of everyone.

Taking off Qiu Ba's clothes, you can clearly see that there is a knife wound of more than 30 centimeters on Qiu Ba's chest, and the bones are visible.

It can be seen how dangerous Qiu Ba has experienced a murderous aura.

And at this moment, the civil and military officials looked at each other, and they were also very curious about what was going on.

In this way, nearly half an hour passed.

The blood on Qiu Ba's body could be regarded as stopping.

Tang Tingbai looked at Huang Jin beside him: "Give me a seat." ”

Huang Jin immediately carried a mahogany chair and walked to Qiu Ba, who was seriously injured.

Huang Jin personally helped Qiu Ba to sit on the chair.

Qiu Ba, on the other hand, weakly explained the matter roughly.

It turned out that Feng Qingyang, a famous general of Nanchen, took 200,000 tiger troops from Persia and directly killed Dayan's Longyou Mansion.

Ma Chao, the commander of the Sixth Army, was ordered to defend the city, but the combat effectiveness of the Nanchen soldiers was too strong.

Even when attacking the city, a hundred Heavenly Rank masters directly began to smash the door with giant hammers.

Time goes back a few days ago.

In Longyou Mansion, Yinxi City.

Here was the forefront of the defense line of the Sixth Army.

Ma Chao, the seat of the Sixth Army, was standing on the city wall at the moment, looking at the enemy troops in the distance with a gloomy face.

These troops are elite at first glance, but Ma Chao is not afraid, because they are the side defending the city after all, and they still occupy a lot of advantages.

Soon, Nan Chen's army began to charge, and the speed was extremely fast.

A hundred Heavenly Rank masters had already arrived at the city gate almost instantly.

The hammer in his hand slammed into the city gate.

Although the city gate was made of steel, it couldn't withstand such an attack from a hundred Heaven Rank masters.

Soon the gates were broken.

Ma Chao handed over the command of the city to the deputy commander, and he personally led a regiment of troops to defend the city gate.

The battle was fierce.

Ma Chao's regiment lost at least 5,000 people, and only a hundred Heaven Rank masters on the opposite side could be regarded as all killed.

And Ma Chao was already seriously injured at the moment, after all, the current Ma Chao was only at the peak of the ninth rank of the Heavenly Rank.

And the hundred people on the opposite side, there are at least five masters of the peak of the Nine Rank of the Heavenly Rank.

And Ma Chao can do extreme counter-killing, which is already quite good.

But at this moment, Nan Chen's Tiger Ben Army had already rushed over.

The cavalry was in front, and the infantry was in the rear.

Coordinated operations.

Although the arrowheads, rolling wood thunder stones, and catapults of the Sixth Army on the city wall were used, the damage caused to the enemy was not great.

Soon, the enemy troops stormed the city walls, and a melee between the two sides began.

Because the Sixth Army was familiar with the entire Seal City, it engaged in street battles with the enemy.

After the street battle, Ma Chao was surprised to find that the strength of Nan Chen's warriors was not weak.

Even, even the strength of an ordinary big-headed soldier has a yellow rank and a grade, which can be regarded as a real martial artist.

It's terrifying.

The basic strength is divided into four major levels: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang.

Although the Yellow Rank is the weakest, it is also stronger than ordinary people.

And the soldiers of their Sixth Army, ordinary big-headed soldiers, almost no warriors.

The Yellow Order in the Sixth Army can be a small squad leader to manage ten ordinary soldiers.

That's the difference between the two sides.

The battle was fierce.

Although Ma Chao is familiar with the terrain here, after all, the strength is still too different from the enemy.

So by the third day of the street fighting, there were less than 10,000 men left in the Sixth Army.

And, it was difficult to retreat.

Because the entire city has been occupied by Nan Chen, there is no way to escape at all, and it can only be fought to the death.

Although the Sixth Army has not experienced several major battles, the soldiers are all good and are not afraid of death.

So, on the fifth day of the battle, the Sixth Army was almost completely annihilated, and there were less than a hundred men left.

Moreover, almost all of these 100 people were injured.

This includes Ma Chao, including Qiu Ba and others of Jinyiwei.

Finally, at night, taking advantage of the night, Qiu Ba and a hundred other people finally broke through a city gate and fled.

On the way to escape, the enemy pursued, and the speed was extremely fast.

Ma Chao left behind with dozens of people to block the attack, and ordered Qiu Ba to bring the information here back to Kyoto.

Dayan Kyoto, Xuanzheng Palace.

Qiu Ba's voice trembled and told him all about what had happened.

At the end, Qiu Ba's voice was full of tremors.

And Tang Tingbai was a little shocked, he knew that Nan Chen was very strong.

But he never expected that Nan Chen's ordinary soldiers were all Yellow Rank first-class soldiers.

You must know that there is no problem for a martial artist to fight ten ordinary people, even if those ten ordinary people are strong men.

That's the difference between the two sides.

And, there is an irreparable gap.

Tang Tingbai touched his chin, and he looked at Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, immediately send Jinyi Wei to search for the whereabouts of Ma Chao and others, and also spy on the information of Longyou Mansion Seal City." ”

Li Yuanfang immediately nodded and turned to leave.

Tang Tingbai stood up and took a deep breath.

"The Ministry of Rites immediately questioned the Persian Empire, giving way to Nan Chen was provoking Dayan, and ordered him to explain immediately, otherwise Dayan would not let them go!"

"Order 500,000 people from the First, Second, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Armies to get ready, and go to Longyou Mansion early tomorrow morning to kill the enemy!"

"The ministers obey." The civil and military officials bowed in unison.

Now, Dayan has once again come to the time of life and death.

If he could defeat Nan Chen, then Dayan would not need the recognition of any country to become an empire.

After all, if a kingdom can defeat even a second-class empire, it's not too much to promote the empire, right?

At the same time, the hearts of the civil and military officials of Dayan were also full of shock.

Just now, the emperor directly asked the Ministry of Rites to question the Persian Empire, what does this mean?

Also directly in the tone of command.

Undoubtedly, the emperor no longer takes the Persian Empire seriously, and even destroys them whenever he wants.

However, in the same way, there are some doubts in the hearts of the hundred officials.

Because, they really don't understand, where does the emperor have the confidence to say such things.

After retiring from the court, Tang Tingbai went directly back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

He locked himself in his room and went straight into the system.

Since he knew that the strength of the ordinary soldiers of the Nanchen Empire was all Huang-rank first-grade martial artists, Tang Tingbai knew that the warriors of Dayan were not Nan Chen's opponents.

Even if the Dayan army is well-equipped, there is a gap in strength.

An ordinary man goes to fight a warrior, and there is no difference between sending him to death.

Tang Tingbai closed his eyes and went directly into the system.

"System, is there a panacea that can elevate ordinary people to martial artists?" Tang Tingbai asked.

As soon as the voice fell, the voice of the system came immediately.

"Ding Dong, there is indeed this kind of thing, there are two basic items in the system to improve strength, the host can go to the system mall to view, and the price is also very cheap."

Listening to the system's words, Tang Tingbai was overjoyed.

He hurried to the system mall.

Sure enough, I saw that there were two basic items to improve my strength, and they were both eaten.

Lingmi: Eating 100 grains can become a first-grade martial artist of the Yellow Rank from an ordinary person, and eating 1,000 grains can break through to the first-grade Martial Artist of the Xuan Rank.

Lingquan: One sip can go from an ordinary person to a first-rank martial artist of the Yellow Rank, and one hundred sips can break through to the first-rank of the Xuan Rank.

Hiss –

Seeing these two things, even Tang Tingbai couldn't help but gasp.

It's all a treasure.

The price of Ling rice is one tael of silver and one catty of Ling rice.

The price of Lingquan is one tael of silver per bowl.

Note: If you eat too much Lingmi, your body can't bear it, and you are likely to explode and die, so for ordinary people, ten bowls of Lingmi is the best amount.

Touching his chin, Tang Tingbai directly bought 10 million taels of silver for spiritual rice, and 10 million taels of silver for Lingquan.

What Tang Tingbai thought was that if he used this spiritual spring to steam and cook spiritual rice, wouldn't his strength improve faster.

Once the exchange was complete, everything appeared in the Royal Treasury.

Tang Tingbai immediately arranged for his subordinates to send these things to the barracks, so that even if the soldiers died today, each of them would have to eat at least ten bowls of rice.

Outside the city of Kyoto, a large camp of 500,000 troops.

At this moment, countless rice and mountain spring water are transported here.

As the main general, Lu Bu was a little puzzled.

Because the food in the military camp was already enough, why did the emperor transfer another grain from the royal treasury.

Lu Bu looked at Huang Jin, who was delivering grain, and he walked to Huang Jin's side.

"Father-in-law Huang, the emperor asked you to send food, didn't you say anything?"

Huang Jin shook his head with a smile, his face was full of flattering smiles: "Back to the words of the army commander, the emperor didn't say a word, but he gave a holy decree to the minions, and you have to gather the 500,000 troops in a while, and the minions will read it." ”

Lu Bu nodded, still puzzled in his heart.

Soon, the army of 500,000 was divided into fifty huge phalanxes and stood up.

Each phalanx was full of 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Huang Jin stood on the high platform with a sharp voice.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said!"

"Tomorrow against Nan Chen's elite soldiers, I order you to eat ten bowls of rice today, if anyone can't finish it, kill your head directly!"

"Even if you die, you have to finish eating!"

"In addition, after ten bowls, you can't eat more, and if you dare to eat more, you will bear the consequences."

After reading it, Huang Jin smiled and handed over the holy decree to Lu Bu, who was full of shock.

At this moment, Lu Bu was even more confused.

He really couldn't figure it out, what did the emperor want to do?

Isn't it just eating?

Do I still need to make a decree?
