Chapter 286: The Cruelty of War

Tianyuan Kingdom, the Imperial City.

Soon after Li Mingyang came to the Tianyuan Realm, he thought about how to break through this Xuanjie where there was no flying sword and could not cast spells remotely, if a super strong fortress city appeared.

When he thought about it before, he just thought of it as an interesting idea, but he didn't want to, but now this idea has become a reality, and he has become a member of the siege city.

The imperial city of Tianyuan country occupies a thousand miles of place, the city wall is as high as ten zhang, there is a female wall behind the main wall, and the arrow tower stands on the main wall. Although it is not possible to release spells remotely here, there are many magic weapons such as arrows, although such magic weapons are similar in individual martial arts, but in large-scale siege wars, such magic weapons can greatly reduce the pressure on the defenders.

No matter how good you refine your body, nine out of ten of the monks in the army of monks will inevitably be Phantom Realm monks, one or two arrows may not kill you, but hundreds or thousands of them will pour down, and no one can guarantee that they will not be injured.

The walls of the city of monks are not all ordinary city walls, and if you want to build the walls of the city of monks, you need a large number of refiners to preside over it, and the materials for building the city walls must be refined before they can be used, so although we all know that it is safest to build the city walls high and thick, but without enough manpower, material resources, and financial resources, it is impossible to build a strong city wall.

But as the most central city of Tianyuan Kingdom, the walls of the Imperial City are definitely the strongest, according to legend, in order to build the Imperial City, the refiners alone gathered no less than three thousand, and almost all the refiners of the entire Tianyuan Kingdom were called to be coolies either strong or soft, but it is precisely because of this that there is today's Imperial City of Tianyuan Kingdom.

This is a real bastion of war.

When Li Mingyang saw the Imperial City of Tianyuan Kingdom for the first time, he couldn't help but feel emotional, even when he was in the Xuanyuan Realm, Li Mingyang had never seen such a strong and huge city. Before this, Li Mingyang had never had much worry about attacking the city, after all, there were at least nearly 80,000 monks along the way, and after breaking through the Xiajin Pass, many scattered cultivators came to him, all wanting a piece of the pie.

The number of monks in the other two roads is also huge, adding up to at least 200,000 monks, such a lineup of monks can already set off a lot of storms in the Xuanyuan realm, and the people of the Tianyuan royal court before don't know whether they are too stupid or too brave, they have to defend several layers of defense in succession, but they don't set up heavy troops to defend it, although the chaotic army has suffered a lot of losses along the way, but the royal court army has suffered more severe casualties, and more importantly, their morale has been greatly hit.

The fiasco on several layers of defense line, Daozhì now has only 200,000 monks stationed in the Tianyuan King's court, but this is actually only barely a favorable condition for the rebellious army, after all, the 200,000 defenders stationed in the imperial city have already made many local monks in the Tianyuan realm desperate.

Looking at the impregnable imperial city, Li Mingyang couldn't help but ask: "Isn't there a strategist in the royal court, since they have such a strong fortress, why don't they completely retreat at the beginning, but fight all the way, defeat all the way, and finally kill a large number of monks before escaping back here." If there were 500,000 monks in the Imperial City now, I wouldn't want to attack the city. ”

"How can it be directly defeated, even for the sake of dignity, the people of the royal court must fight at all the passes that can be defended until they can no longer hold it before they can withdraw. Hearing Li Mingyang's words, Lin Hui said very puzzled.

Li Mingyang was immediately stunned when he heard this, and asked, "For the sake of dignity?"

Lin Hui seemed to be very curious about why Li Mingyang was puzzled, and explained very seriously: "Whether it is the rebel army or the Wang Tingjun, since the war has started, it is natural to fight to the end, and it is impossible to fight it, so you can't retreat without a fight." I'm a monk, and I'm not a coward. ”

Seeing Lin Hui's stern face, and even slightly angry because of his suspicions, Li Mingyang couldn't help but lose his mind. He hasn't been in the Tianyuan Realm for a long time, but he already knows a lot about the Tianyuan Realm monks. Although this is a Xuan Realm that is not as good as the Xuanyuan Realm, and there are no Xuanling Realm powerhouses here, the Tianyuan Realm cultivators are really as Lin Hui said, almost everyone is warlike.

The cowardice that Xue Yi appeared in Heping Town was just an example, and it was also a sign of the situation when it was really impossible to win.

Maybe compared to the Xuanyuan Realm, the Tianyuan Realm monks really can't be said to be good at fighting, after all, they haven't even mastered the way of battle formations, but the Tianyuan Realm monks are definitely warlike, and they are very warlike. No matter whether the enemy they face is a true ghost in the Heavenly Yin Kingdom, or an alien invader who will suddenly appear at some point, they dare to fight.

It's just that although Li Mingyang has already had these feelings before, it is not so obvious after all, and today when he saw Lin Hui's expression, Li Mingyang finally saw through the Tianyuan Realm cultivator. Maybe it was because they could only refine their bodies, so they were the most direct collisions during the big war, so they cultivated their bloodiness that was far superior to that of the Xuanyuan Realm cultivators.

Thinking of this, Li Mingyang glanced at Han Hu not far away, and seeing that his eyes unconsciously showed a slight sense of superiority when he was worried, Li Mingyang couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph, if you look down on the Tianyuan Realm cultivators just because they haven't mastered the way of the battle formation, then wait to suffer a big loss." ”

Shaking his head, Li Mingyang led the Jinzhu Army to the area where they needed to attack.

Today's chaotic army has gone through a campaign all the way, and almost all of the teams in the team can be called elite, even if it is called a miscellaneous army, the Jinzhu army still has a very strong combat power. However, due to the accident of the chaotic army that attacked Shangjin Pass in the final battle, one of the forces was completely dispersed, and the current rebel army is exactly eight forces left. Although there was a gap in the strength of the eight forces, it was not much different, and in the end, it was decided that the eight forces would attack the city from eight directions.

The Jinzhu army began to attack the city from the north direction, because the imperial city of Tianyuan Kingdom was too large, although the ranks of the chaotic army were very large, but when they stood in the position they were attacking, they could not see the people of other forces at all. In order to prevent some forces from wanting to fish in troubled waters, each group of forces dispatched 500 monks to form a huge war supervision group, and the role of the war supervision group was to constantly supervise around the periphery.

For the monks who can be assigned to the battle group, in fact, they are secretly rejoicing, after all, if they participate in the siege battle, God knows how much danger will appear. Where is the city wall of the Imperial City of Tianyuan Kingdom, it is clearly a flesh and blood grinding plate. However, there are still some monks in the Warlord who are sullen, they are the monks of the Jinzhu Army, and in addition to their warlike nature, the main thing is that they have nothing to gain from it.

Although the siege of the Imperial City will be extremely difficult, when all the rebellious troops are ready, the war finally begins.

In this battle, even if Li Mingyang still wants to do something, he is already powerless, stealing the air to re-form a sufficient army of five thousand true ghosts, and he is already very weak under the tall walls of the imperial city of Tianyuan Kingdom.

The siege of the imperial city is a battle of endurance, so neither the besieging side nor the defending side are desperate as soon as they come up. The size and solidity of the imperial city gave the royal army a condescending advantage in defending the city, but also because the imperial city was too large, the forces of the royal court army were also very scattered, and in comparison, the number of defending troops in each direction was smaller than that of the besieging army.

In fact, at the beginning, Li Mingyang and they also thought about attacking a little bit in one place, but although the war of the monks is like a war in the world, it is not a war in the world after all, even if the city is broken, it is not much meaning, after the city is broken, there will be a bloody battle in the inner city, and when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of monks will gather together to fight, but the casualties will be more uncontrollable.

No one wants to see hundreds of thousands of monks fighting, so they can only choose this kind of confrontation.

The battle lasted for seven days, and in seven days, the Jinzhu army launched a total of thirteen sieges, not to mention the victory or defeat, and both sides were damaged, but relatively speaking, the Jinzhu army took advantage. In seven days, they almost consumed about 10,000 Wang Ting's defending army, and the Jinzhu army also paid almost the same price, but 5,000 of them were real ghosts, at least the damage could be considered halved.

Li Mingyang once thought about going to the Tianyin Kingdom to summon real ghosts again, but now it is too far away from the Tianyin Kingdom, even if there is Qinghuang to rush over with him, but after summoning five thousand true ghosts, he needs to march here on foot, this time back and forth for at least a month, no one knows how many variables there are in a month, and this idea can only be abandoned.

Seven days of bloody battle is a test of blood for either side, even if they are as belligerent as the monks of Tianyuan, they have now become a little depressed, whether it is the besieging side or the defenders, their bloody nature has been stimulated, but there is also a lot of fear in their hearts.

There are too many people who died, although the scale of each battle is not as good as every previous battle, but the number of attacks on the imperial city is too much, the chaotic army is attacking the city, naturally has the initiative to attack, and often hits the royal army by surprise, but when the monks who defend the city surround and kill, after a bloody battle, they each throw hundreds of corpses and then strike the battle, such a scene has been experienced a lot, and everyone has become a little nervous.

Li Mingyang is also in a trance occasionally, and suddenly he doesn't understand why such a war happened, but he also knows that this confusion is actually shared by everyone in the world, but no one can know the answer.

Li Mingyang also knows that this war is no longer something he can control the outcome of, even if everyone on both sides dies in the end, he can only accept this result.

The dawn of the eighth day came, looking at the newborn sun, Li Mingyang said softly: "Today, how many people can't see the sunset?"
