The purpose of the Duke of Shu and the Westerners must be to make this matter a big deal in the hearts of the people.

Once Zhengyang loses in the end, it will be extremely unfavorable to the people's will and the entire Zhengyang.

Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, what is written clearly in the book of soldiers, Mi Yusong is of course very clear.

And Liu Xin, who was walking among the people, also personally felt that if Zhengyang was defeated in the end, the people didn't know how indignant they would be.

In the end, the impact will be that the entire Zhengyang people's hearts and military hearts will be in chaos.

This is definitely not a good thing.

Although he knew this, the current Zhengyang had no way to guard against it.

There is no good way to prevent this.

Now we can only hope for a big victory in the Zhengyang martial arts competition, so this psychological blow to Zhengyang by the Westerners will become a help to the hearts of the people and the army in Zhengyang.

But since Westerners have done so many things, they will not let Zhengyang win easily.

This is also very clear from the list that Mi Yusong gave Liu Xin.

Liu Xin flipped through the booklet in his hand, he knew very well that such detailed information must have cost a huge price for Zhengyang.

Even for Liu Xin, who has seen the strictness of the Westerners' military camp, it is a little strange to see the list of Westerners who may participate in the competition with nearly 100 people.

Mi Yusong also told him a lot of news that he didn't know this time, and he had almost cut off contact with Jinyiwei during his recent journey.

There are many things he doesn't know.

Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the major intelligence forces in the rivers and lakes conducted intelligence inquiries on the expeditionary force of the Westerners.

In the end, it was only by relying on the White Lotus Sect that he was able to accurately find out the details of Westerners.

This time, the expeditionary force of the Westerners was nearly 100,000 people, of course, these 100,000 people were not all main battle troops, and more than 50,000 of them were logistics troops.

The rest is the main battle force, plus the advance army, the total number of main battle troops that the Westerners can use is only 50,000 or 60,000.

But the threat to Zhengyang from these 50,000 or 60,000 people is really huge, especially the kind of anti-aircraft artillery that can ignore the defense of the city wall and directly attack the interior of the city wall, and the power is huge.

The earth-shaking power made all the civilians, soldiers and civilians who had experienced the shroud of anti-aircraft guns tremble.

There are even rumors among the people that it is the punishment of the gods.

But in the end, these voices were suppressed by the imperial court, otherwise I don't know how much impact and trouble it would cause.

Ranking of the Holy Roman Empire's Expeditionary Force: 1]

Liu Xin didn't expect that among the young Tianjiao of the Holy Roman Empire, the first place was actually a woman.

At the age of twenty-four, it is difficult for Liu Xin to imagine how powerful she is.

...】

Finally, Liu Xin also saw the intelligence of several key figures in the expeditionary force. Among them were Gust, a member of the Holy Order of the Holy See who pursued him, and Prince Gaius. Gust.

【Gaius. Gust, male, 28 years old, sword fighter, estimated cultivation as: top-grade Dacheng realm.

Looking at the roster, Liu Xin found that Jesús Fink, whom he defeated today, did not even rank in the top 10 on this roster.

And his combat power is indeed a top-grade realm.

It is absolutely terrifying to reach such combat power at such an age.

Even Liu Xin couldn't do this without obtaining "Star Change" and that memory.

Jesús Fink is indeed gifted.

It is hard to imagine that he was selected from among the commoners of such an empire, and in Liu Xin's impression, the Holy Roman Empire was a country that was very particular about blood and origin.

In his attribute panel, all those in high positions are from such and such a family. All have their own heritage.

Officers of the Holy Roman Empire of civilian origin were hardly seen.

But Jesús Fink was officially a member of the Holy Order.

And he is only twenty-one years old, if you think about it at this level, then how strong should the top ten be?

In other words, their cultivation has truly reached the realm of high-grade greatness, plus their physique that is already beyond ordinary people.

However, superhuman physique actually means that the lower their cultivation, the stronger their suppression of Zhengyang.

On the other hand, if the higher the cultivation realm, the transcendence that can be brought about by physical fitness becomes limited.

However, it cannot be ruled out that Westerners will also have their own horizontal exercises.

If their innate physique is coupled with the blessings of horizontal exercises, then their strength is not something that ordinary people can surpass.

Jesús Fink let Zhengyang see clearly where Westerners are strong, but it also made Zhengyang people understand how big the gap between himself and Westerners is.

Judging from this list of Mi Yusong, Jesús Fink is used as a flaunt.

There are about ten to twenty of the strongest group of Westerners, all of whom have the combat power of the high-grade Dacheng Realm.

Especially these people who are in the forefront may be able to have top-grade Dacheng realm combat power.

That is, the Touch Dao Realm!

But among the young martial artists under the age of twenty-five in Zhengyang, the mid-grade Dacheng realm seems to be already a limit.

If you want to break through this limit, you can't help but use a lot of resources to feed and cultivate.

However, the Zhengyang martial arts competition proposed by Westerners and Zhengyang has only been a few months now, and even a large amount of resources cannot cultivate many powerful masters in such a short period of time.

Of course, the top group of Tianjiao will definitely make a breakthrough, but this number is still dwarfed by Westerners.

Liu Xin really didn't have any hope for this Zhengyang Wubi.

Because everything is illusory in the face of absolute strength.

It doesn't make any sense.

Westerners can crush Zhengyang, not only in terms of military strength but also in personal force.

In fact, the pressure of Westerners has shrouded the heads of the top management of Zhengyang, and for the top management of Zhengyang, the pressure is huge.

And for the people at the bottom, this Zhengyang martial arts competition is where their pressure lies.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Xin put down the booklet and went to bed to rest.

So far, he has not changed his mind.

The feud between the Holy Sect and the Evil Sect still exists.

Even now it has gradually become chaotic in the rivers and lakes, although the demonic forces led by the evil sect are said to be suppressed, but the masters of the evil sect continue to snipe the holy sect in order to take revenge.

The Holy Sect has already had a number of senior brothers that Liu Xin was familiar with who died under the assassination of the evil sect masters.

This is the last thing Liu Xin wants.

Xue Sheng and Ah Li also had to do something against the Holy Sect under such circumstances.

And Liu Xin must find out the real culprit of the original incident at this time.

And he's already found out.

Everything seems to be inseparable from a top sect, that is, Luoshen Villa.

But Roselle Villa is now showing a very, very dependent and refuge relationship with the imperial court.

For the time being, the imperial court is still inseparable from Luoshen Villa, and the ordnance provided by Luoshen Villa can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Zhengyang army.

And today's Ministry of Industry also has a number of forging masters of Roselle Villa.

Moreover, Dugu Shidao is now a well-known grandmaster-level master.

Everyone admires the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, Liu Xin could not have any impact on him until he was absolutely sure and had evidence, and he did not even dare to make his suspicions public.

Because that will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the entire rivers and lakes, for the rivers and lakes, the Grandmaster Realm is their god.

It's their legends, their beliefs.

If Dugu Shidao is really not a good person, then the impact on the entire rivers and lakes will be devastating.

Liu Xin stayed in the imperial capital for almost half a month, and there were only less than ten days left before the Zhengyang martial arts competition.

On this day, Liu Xin stood on the second floor of the inn he rented, looking at Zhengyang Street not far from the balcony.

There, a group of cavalry stood by.

I heard that all the red-coated cannons on the city wall today have been loaded.

The forbidden army near the imperial capital, the pro-army all surrounded the imperial capital, and laid a tight defensive circle.

Such a large formation is waiting for the arrival of Western troops.

Although the Western army only sent 5,000 cavalry this time, it still made Zhengyang feel an unparalleled sense of oppression.

If the other side still carried that kind of heavy firearms, 5,000 people would be enough to do a lot of things.

The time came in the evening, and the arrogant Westerners slowly appeared on the west side of the imperial capital.

Under the gaze of millions of people up and down the imperial capital, the cavalry of Westerners slowly entered the sight of the military and civilians of the imperial capital.

Of course, not all the 5,000 cavalry can enter the imperial capital, so wouldn't that lead the wolf into the house.

Therefore, only a team of more than 300 envoys entered the imperial capital, and the rest of the army was stationed outside the city.

Less than ten miles outside the city, it took less than an hour for the Westerners' cavalry to prepare their camp before sunset.

They used a very portable barracks tent.

A soldier can build a barracks tent with only one cup of tea, and its efficiency is simply embarrassing for the Zhengyang military.

Such a convenient military tent, such a fast speed, can allow the army to maintain a very rapid mobility.

This is the first condition for an army to be able to maintain its combat effectiveness.

By meeting at the point of view, it can already be seen how the military quality of this Westerner army is.

And behind this Westerner army was 20,000 cavalry led by Qin Guogong himself.

They followed the 5,000 cavalry all the way from the border of Bashu.

Some people in the city have begun to question whether such a large battle is a bit too cautious and cautious for Westerners.

This is detrimental to Zhengyang's national prestige.

But soon the Westerners let these ignorant people know what is the most correct way to deal with the ferocious tiger.

After the Westerners were stationed, they opened fire into the sky and blasted a chasm with artillery fire near their barracks.

Thundered!!

When these artillery bombarded the ground, the tremor and loud roar caused by it directly made the people in the city feel like they heard the thunder rolling in the sky, especially some old houses near the city gate, which collapsed under this tremor.

In this way, the people in the imperial capital were even more frightened and panicked.

And this is clearly a demonstration method of Westerners.

In this way, they tried to constantly shoot down the morale of the Zhengyang army and civilians.

And among the three hundred envoys, there were many handsome men and women, who rode on their tall horses, and even the horses were dressed in armor.

And the armor on their bodies is very dazzling and exquisite, different from the thick plate armor common in Zhengyang, these Westerners are wearing very fine armor, which is composed of leather armor and chain mail and light plate armor, and focuses on defense in key positions.

However, it is very flexible in some key joint parts.

Such armor is the armor that is most suitable for military battles.

And in Zhengyang, only the top armor created by those top craftsmen will have such an effect.

In this way, the military and civilians of Zhengyang were once again shocked, and the Westerners' science and technology tree is indeed much fuller than Zhengyang, and in terms of scientific and technological level and strength, Zhengyang is at an absolute disadvantage.

But the loser doesn't lose.

At the same time that the Westerners used artillery fire to plow out pieces of trenches, Zhengyang's iron cavalry also carried out exercises and attacks again and again in the direction of the Westerners' barracks against the open space in front of the Westerners' barracks under the command of Qin Guogong.

The galloping power of thousands of horses made the soldiers and civilians in the city can't help but applaud.

Although this is also an action to flaunt national strength, after all, it is a latecomer, and the effect is far less good than that of Westerners.

Because at the moment when the Westerners' military camp rushed to the front of the position with their war horses galloping, there was even smoke and dust rising from the military camp.

The rich smell of meat, even from a distance of several miles, can be clearly smelled, even those people who live at the city gates, can smell the rich smell of meat, which makes them a little suspicious of life.
