Chapter 346: Soldiers Coming to the City
Xiahou Mengde personally led a large army and entered Xianyang.
The two million troops slowly marched towards the palace along the main roads in the east, west, and north directions. These main roads, also known as galloping roads, are two hundred and fifty paces wide and are divided into three lanes, one hundred and fifty steps in the middle, for the Son of Heaven to go out on patrol, and fifty paces on each side for the subjects to walk. When the Son of Heaven went out on patrol, the roads on both sides should also be under martial law for the Son of Heaven to walk, and ordinary people could only stand on the side of the road to admire the demeanor of the Son of Heaven.
As for the middle road, they have never had the opportunity to set foot on it in their lives, except for repairs and maintenance.
But now, Xiahou Mengde's army is walking on the galloping road in the center, they have turned into a battle form, jackals, tigers and leopards, Pixiu bears, one after another fierce beasts lined up in a neat line, walking calmly on the galloping road, the majesty implies arrogance, and at the same time, people are afraid to see it, and they can't help but praise it.
Although there were not a single common man on the road on either side, there were a pair of eyes and ears hidden behind the high inner wall. When the rebels entered the city, the ease brought by Meng Zili's victory over the tiger and leopard cavalry immediately disappeared with the wind, and the entire Xianyang City fell into an unknown panic.
The Golden Legion retreated in great strides, giving up the residential areas on the outskirts of the imperial city, and making ordinary people feel like they had been abandoned by the imperial court. Although soon after, the Phoenix Dance Legion and the Longxiang Legion entered the defense area and took over the task.
The Fengwu Legion was stationed in the west of the Imperial City, facing the former Golden Legion, the Longxiang Legion was stationed in the east of the Imperial City, facing the Yingyang Legion, and the Son of Heaven Yingdang led the Seven Academies National Division, the Minister of Wenchen and the Golden Legion to guard the north of the Imperial City, opposite the main force of the Hubu Legion led by Xiahou Mengde.
The battle first began between the Phoenix Dance Legion and the former Golden Legion.
Bai Qing let out a long howl, turned into a bald sea eagle, and rushed into the sky. Surrounded by a hundred guards, he swept over the heads of the Golden Legion, vibrated his wings, and gave the order to attack.
One by one, birds of prey flew into the sky, and one beast after another began to run. At the beginning, the Phoenix Dance Legion showed the sharpest combined attack formation of land and air, and launched the fiercest attack on the former Golden Legion soldiers.
The Fengwu Legion is the most reliable legion that Ying dares to master, the Bai family has obtained the coveted position of the national teacher of Tianrong Academy, and the ancestor Bai Qi is about to enter the royal temple and enjoy the shrine of the emperors of the past dynasties. If this Battle Phoenix Dance Legion makes a great contribution and helps the Son of Heaven repel the rout, the Bai family can now be among the seven major surnames, at least on a par with the Meng family, and may even be second only to the royal family.
But if the empire collapsed, the court changed its master. The loss of the Bai family will not be calculated.
Even if it is out of his own interests, Bai Qing has to go all out to help Ying dare to defend Xianyang.
They faced the Golden Army, which was defeated in World War I and was absorbed by Xiahou Mengde. The soldiers of the Golden Legion are pampered and well-equipped, but their combat effectiveness is not flattering, and in the face of the Fengwu Legion that has been fighting in the southwest of the empire for a long time, although they try their best to resist, they still can't resist.
Bai Qing flapped his wings every time. All set off a wave of attack frenzy, and groups of birds of prey roared down, tearing the battle flag of the Golden Legion and breaking the Golden Legion's big sword. Lift the soldiers of the Golden Legion into the air and throw them into the battle formation of the Golden Legion. These soldiers of the Golden Legion all have a strong physique, and they are a perfect meat bullet that they hit. It's never a good end.
Under the attack of the Phoenix Dance Legion by land and air, and under the horror of colleagues falling from the sky and falling into meat cakes, the Golden Legion once again exposed their strong external and middle-class cadres and weak nature. Defeat and retreat.
At the same moment, the Long Xiang Legion also launched a counterattack against the Eagle Yang Legion, which was pressing step by step.
The same border army that has been fighting for many years, the combat effectiveness of the Eagle Yang Legion is comparable to that of the Longxiang Legion, and their scene is much better than that of the Golden Legion.
The Eagle Legion has the most powerful air force in the Empire, but they are helpless against a pair of giant bears. Even with their best efforts, it was difficult for them to lift the bear into the air, and their sharp iron beaks and claws could hardly injure the bear, and at most they could only scratch a series of scars on their bodies. But if they are hit by a giant bear's paw, they can die.
Under the strong counterattack of the Longxiang Army, General Yingyang struggled and barely supported it.
While the flanks of the east and west flanks were fighting, the frontal battlefield was calm.
Ying dared to sit on the north gate of the imperial city, the Xuanwu Gate, and looked at the rebels slowly coming along the central gallop road in the distance, and his heart was full of despair.
By doing this, Xiahou Mengde was actually demonstrating. He is not as secretive as Yin Jiao, nor is he as obscure as the Meng family, he shows the banner in front of everyone: he wants to be the emperor, he wants to destroy the Great Qin Empire, and he wants to clear the Ying family's thousand-year-long rule on this continent.
Everyone can no longer be ambiguous, and must show an attitude, either on the side of the Ying family, or on the side of him Xiahou Mengde. Otherwise, after the city is broken, they will face a bloody purge, and their family will be removed from the list from now on.
The imperial city is the heart of the Great Qin Empire, and only the Son of Heaven and the teachers and students of the Seven Academies of the Empire can live in the imperial city, and the other civil and military ministers all live outside the imperial city, and they are the muscles and blood veins wrapped in the heart. They were closest to the imperial power, and the places where they lived were almost around the imperial city. It is these people's homes that dare to be guarded.
Once these people's homes were occupied by Xiahou Mengde, although Ying Dangdang had already put the main cores of the major families under house arrest in the imperial city, he still did not dare to guarantee that these families would not lose their cars and protect their commanders in order to survive. The lives of the family elite are important, but after all, they are not as important as the survival of the family.
Ying Dare had a calm face, but there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, no one knew what he was thinking, and no one knew who he was ridiculing.
Xiahou Mengde came to the front of the formation, Ying dared to see his Daxu, and what protected him was the world-famous tiger and leopard riding and trapping camp, the tiger riding on the left, the leopard riding on the right, and the trapping camp walked in the front.
Xiahou Mengde rode on the back of a pure white tiger, followed by a familiar face: Linghu Minzhi.
Ying dared to look back at Meng Zili and the others. It was they who forced Ling Hu Minzhi away, and now Ling Hu Minzhi appeared by Xiahou Mengde's side, I don't know what they think.
Meng Zili can feel the intention of Ying Dare the most. The contradiction between Li Ze and Ling Hu Minzhi is clear, but he stabbed Ling Hu Minzhi in the back and gave up this important dependent at a critical time. It's a stain on the Meng family's reputation. If you can't protect the family of your dependents, how can you count on the loyalty of others?
"Your Majesty don't worry, Xiahou Mengde will definitely die. Failing His Majesty, Ling Hu Minzhi deserves to die. Meng Zili bowed and said, "Please sit down in peace, and the ministers will come when they go." ”
Ying dared to be a slight jaw. "There is Lao Guoshi. ”
Meng Zili smiled confidently, jumped up, and jumped off the wall more than ten feet. In mid-air, he turned into a giant bear more than two feet tall, and landed with a "boom", the earth trembled, and even the city walls trembled.
"I didn't expect Meng Guoshi to have such strength. Ying dared to raise his eyebrows, and was surprised.
Under the gaze of countless soldiers, seven more masters of the Meng family jumped down from the city wall. Transformed into seven giant bears, they roared and rushed forward. With Meng Zili as the center, the four of them formed a semicircle, and the three of them acted as bucket handles, like a dagger, stabbing at Xiahou Mengde in the distance.
With a long roar, the soldiers of the trapped camp were deformed, and thousands of long-haired giant elephants appeared in front of the formation, their huge bodies forming a thick wall of flesh. The huge ivory looks like a giant scimitar, and Bai Sensen makes people gasp.
"Woo-" The thousand giant elephants screamed, although their cries were not high-pitched. But it spread far and wide, seeping into almost everyone's heart.
Ying Dang's face changed, and he looked back at Zhong Daxi, the national teacher of Tianyin Academy, and a trace of strong uneasiness flashed in his eyes at the same time.
That's when it happened. The woolly elephants had already begun to charge, and they were lined up in horizontal rows, only the width of one elephant between each two. If they refused to confront them, they could only pass between them, but they were not spared, for behind them a row of giant elephants was at odds with them, with the same huge body of hard tusks.
Meng Zili gasped. Although he is two feet tall and has incredible strength, in the face of a giant elephant that is bigger than him, the advantage brought to him by strength will be greatly reduced. Without the advantage of strength, all he had left was the realm.
The realm needs to be based on a large amount of vitality, can he hold on to the moment when he breaks through the trapped camp and kills in front of Xiahou Mengde? At that time, will he still have enough strength to kill Xiahou Mengde and Linghu Minzhi?
Meng Zili was a little drumming in his heart. But at this point, it was impossible for him to retreat without a fight, and he could only hope for the additional effect brought by the Seven Killing Array.
Meng Zili roared, and the giant bear rushing in front should respond, roaring and rushing towards the giant elephant directly opposite. The huge bear paw swung up and struck the thick tusks, "Click!" The tusks snapped and pierced into the elephant's head. The giant elephant screamed and fell to its knees, but did not dare to give up, and struggled to rush towards the giant bear.
The giant bear leapt to its feet and kicked in mid-air, breaking two sweeping tusks again, and the thick bear paw struck the forehead of a giant palm. This palm is as powerful as a mountain, even the two-zhang tall giant elephant is a little unbearable, the thick forelimbs are broken, and the giant elephant kneels on the ground, as if to show surrender to Meng Zili.
Although the giant elephant is huge in size and has a strong ability to resist blows, they are still very weak in front of these Great Perfection masters, and they can only rely on their own flesh and body to cause a little trouble to Meng Zili and others.
Seven giant bears, under the leadership of Meng Zili, chopped through the waves and approached Xiahou Mengde. One giant elephant after another was knocked to the ground by them, and the dense elephant array could not stop their tracks, and it didn't seem to cause much pressure on them.
Xiahou Mengde stood in the distance, looking at the giant bear advancing bravely in the elephant array, looking at the ivory that flew up from time to time, and smiled.
"Minzhi, do you think Meng Zili can hold on to the end?"
Ling Hu Minzhi smiled. "Although the giant elephant warriors trapped in the camp are strong, Meng Zili is Meng Zili after all, and the Great Perfection is the Great Perfection after all, plus the blessing of the Seven Killing Array, it is not difficult to kill in front of the general. However, their physical wear and tear will increase significantly, at least by seventy percent, and perhaps even doubled. ”
Xiahou Mengde nodded. "If there is no Seven Kills Formation, even if there is a trap camp, I am still not his opponent. ”
"Yes. Ling Hu Minzhi made no secret of his opinion. "No matter how strong the battle formation is, it is difficult to block the joint attack of several Great Perfection masters. Without the Seven Killing Array, even the seven Great Perfection masters would not be able to stop the Dao Realm masters. The advantage of quantity is only effective when the realms are not far apart, and when the boundaries are too different in quantity, the advantage in quantity does not make up for the disadvantage in quality. ”
So, one god can rule over one world. ”
Linghu Minzhi was silent for a long time. "Actually, you don't need a god, just a Dao realm, if there are no other Dao realms to compete with him. ”
Xiahou Mengde smiled. "Yes, if there is no Mowgli, Yin Jiao alone can dominate this world. Now, he can only consider himself unlucky. ”
Just as Linghu Minzhi was talking to Xiahou Mengde, two white cranes flew into the sky above Xianyang City and slowly circled.
Bai Fengbing held the child in his arms and looked down at the battlefield. From this height, she has a panoramic view of the three battlefields.
The Phoenix Dance Legion has an overall advantage, and the former Golden Legion has collapsed and has begun to retreat.
The Dragon Legion was still fighting hard, they blocked the attack of the Eagle Yang Legion, but they were also overwhelmed by the combined strikes on the ground and in the air, and they were unable to expand the results of the battle.
When the Raptor Warriors of the Eagle Yang Legion found that they could not lift the Giant Bear to high school, they changed their tactics, avoiding the Chinese army where the Giant Bear was concentrated, and instead attacked the flanks where the Giant Bear was less numerous, grabbed those soldiers of the Dragon Legion who were average in the realm and were relatively light, flew high into the air, and then threw them down to attack the Giant Bear. The giant bear has all the strength, but there is nothing they can do against the giant eagle in the sky, and their running speed cannot keep up with the flight speed of the giant eagle, and they have no time to adjust their formation, and they are exhausted.
Taking advantage of his flight and speed, General Yingyang gained the upper hand step by step, and the losses of the Longxiang army gradually increased.
Bai Fengbing had no intention of saving the Long Xiang Army, she hoped that the Meng family's losses would be as great as possible. The Bai family and the Meng family are opponents, and the Meng family is weakened, which is more beneficial than harmful to the Bai family.
She was more concerned with the frontal battlefield in the north of the city.
Meng Zili led the seven masters to advance with all their might, and they had already reached the middle of the trap camp, and their power was undiminished. Behind them, lay the corpses of nearly a thousand hairy giant elephants, rivers of blood.
"The strength of the Meng family is so strong?" Bai Fengbing was surprised. "Five Great Perfections, three masters of the eighth and ninth order, breaking through the trapping camp head-on, isn't this a bit weird? Looking at this posture, Meng Zili still wants to kill Xiahou Mengde in battle. ”
Ling Huye was also surprised. However, he immediately saw Linghu Minzhi beside Xiahou Mengde.
"Look, General. ”
"Linghu Minzhi?" a hint of uneasiness flashed in Bai Fengbing's eyes. "Your clan brother is really fickle, and he actually took refuge in Xiahou Mengde again. ”
"He's a lackey. Ling Huye was dismissive. Now, he's going to be a lost dog. ”――
