In Guangling City, there was a large number of nobles, family representatives, and sect representatives from the occupied areas, who arrived here one after another, enthusiastically supporting Liu Hong as the new emperor of the country of Qixia. Even some families, nobles, etc., in areas that were not occupied, sent representatives.

These aristocrats, families, etc., they always have this thought: don't put all your eggs in one basket.

And for the nobles of the major families, they are first concerned about their own interests, the second is about their own inheritance, the third is about their own honor, and the fourth is about the situation of the country. In fact, for many families, they don't care about the country.

This is determined by the characteristics of the world of practice. The inheritance of many families and sects can be thousands of years or even longer. These families existed before the establishment of the state, and some families have been passed down for more than 10,000 years.

Of course, due to various reasons such as war, a long time of inheritance does not mean that it is strong. But in the end, the 'lifespan' of these families far exceeds the lifespan of the country.

It is also because of these reasons that most of the families saw that the ship of Qixia Country was about to sink, and of course they hurried to find a new ship.

As for the previous Jinyang Country's cleanup of domestic nobles and families...... Everyone selectively forgets.

In fact, the country of Jinyang did not dare to blatantly clean up the nobles and families in the country, and only dared to borrow a knife to kill people through the eastern legions such as the country of Canglan. And even so, there are still some families, especially large ones.

Yes, most of the families that have been cleaned up are small and medium-sized families, and some large families are still there. For these deep-rooted and powerful families, the country of Jinyang cannot be eradicated.

Just like what Xu Jie said to Liu Xinyu before: The officials in the country, the generals in the army, etc., all come from various families, and the family controls the country by controlling talents. Although the state does not deal with the family, it has to borrow the talents of the family.

The relationship between the state and the family is like a 'symbiotic and parasitic' relationship. The country needs the family to support it, but the family will suck blood from the state.

If only the process was balanced. But most of the time it's out of balance. As the family continues to suck blood, the family will become stronger and stronger, and eventually empty the state power. Then came the chaos.

In the chaos, the family is weakened, and a new overlord appears, grows into a royal family, and can stabilize for a while.

It's a dead knot! an endless cycle.

But in this endless cycle of reincarnation, the great families learned wisely - whenever a country was about to lose its hold, they began to curl up, shrink all their power and protect themselves. Then to see which country is strong, take refuge in the past.

If a new nation can quickly absorb the support of various families, the country will grow rapidly.

However, the families and nobles that have not been weakened by the war are fat parasites. For the country, it's dangerous!

And now those families and sects that have been curled up for a long time in the country of Qixia have begun to move. They sent representatives to Guangling City, ostensibly to pay allegiance to Liu Hong and jointly promote Liu Hong as the emperor.

But in private, everyone understands very well in their hearts that this Liu Hong is just a puppet, everyone says that they are loyal to Liu Hong, but they are just expressing their attitude to the country of Jinyang.

And in the palace, the puppet emperor Liu Hong is playing with his beauty, and there is nothing to do anyway, the only thing he can do is to chase a few disheveled women who are not enough to build a foundation.

"Hey......" Sima Zhen just shook his head when he saw it, he could see that this Liu Hong was not a Taoguang obscurity or forbearance at all, but really couldn't support the wall.

"The country is about to die, there will be demons! I heard that the great prince of the country of Qixia is the same. "A general from the early stage of the Yuan Infant with his right arm broken at the elbow walked over. His left arm was replaced with a magic weapon prosthesis.

Sima Zhen looked at the person who came, but this person was Bai Feilong (Chapter 202), who had lost his right arm in the first artillery attack.

The important generals who followed Sima Zhen have already died. The first was Zhao Yue, who shot and killed the Emperor of the Land of Qixia, and died in the first shelling. The second is Diao Deshan, who died in a sneak attack from the north and was beaten to death by Dugu Junjie - at least the corpse sent back was like that. At the same time, there were more than fifty infancy corpses that went back, and many more could not be found.

According to the soldiers of the country of Qixia who delivered the bodies, they did not speak until they were killed. Sima Zhen and other high-ranking officials of the Jinyang Kingdom expressed doubts, but in the end they still released the soldiers who sent the corpses and buried the Yuan Babies who died in battle.

Now, Sima Zhen has promoted Bai Feilong to be his deputy.

Sima Zhen listened to Bai Feilong's words, nodded, and then sighed; Although the two princes of the country of Qixia are not successful, that princess should not be underestimated! With a female streamer, she actually carried half of the country of Qixia. ”

Bai Feilong smiled indifferently: "That's just a lingering breath." At present, the remaining military force of the country of Qixia is less than 500,000, and only the coastal territory remains.

If we charge again, we'll be able to drive them all out to sea!"

Sima Zhen also showed a relaxed smile on his face, but he quickly retracted his smile and said seriously: "That can't be taken lightly. That Dayang Group...... What have you been up to lately? I've heard that quite a few families who have taken refuge in our side and have bonds in their hands have been targeted?"

"It's just a small trick that can't be put on the table. Bai Feilong explained the cause and effect, and finally said, "Although the matter of Dayang Group only recognizing bonds and not people has brought some troubles, it is only a small trouble. This makes me feel that this country of Qixia has exhausted its skills. ”

Sima Zhen nodded slowly, "Maybe." But don't take it lightly. That Dayang Group...... It's still noteworthy. If nothing else, the artillery and explosives have made us suffer a lot. Of the 700,000 soldiers we lost, 90 percent died from artillery and explosives. ”

Speaking of artillery and explosives, Bai Feilong silently looked at his right arm, and his face became gloomy.

In the practice, Jin Dan has a rebirth from the Yuan Infant Period, and if there is any problem with the body, it will be completed in the process. For example, the regeneration of severed limbs, etc. Some women also take the opportunity to adjust their appearance.

However, the infant stage itself does not have the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

There is also a process of rebirth when the Yuan Infant breaks through the Transformation Stage, and it is said that the Transformation Stage has the ability to regenerate broken limbs.

However, Bai Feilong felt that if he could reach the late stage of the Yuan Infant Stage in his life, he would burn high incense.

In other words, I will be crippled for the rest of my life. Therefore, Bai Feilong has some indescribable fear of artillery and explosives. In particular, the crazy explosion during the siege is still suffocating to this day.

It's crazy! Boom, 170,000 or 80,000 elites will be gone.

It is because of this explosion that the country of Jinyang failed to take advantage of the victory to pursue. Everyone is scared. That explosion not only blew up 1780,000 elites, but also blew up the morale of the remaining more than 500,000 soldiers.

If it weren't for the fact that there was always a god transformation period hovering in the sky to cheer everyone up, I really wouldn't dare to say what the situation would be now.

Fortunately, under the encouragement of the transformation period, coupled with the continuous promotion of the great victory of the "War to Destroy the Country", the morale gradually returned. But for now, it's still a bit sluggish.

The two were discussing, but Sima Zhen's personal soldiers chased after him, "General, the scouts have found that the country of Qixia has sent troops." According to current observations, the opposing side has about 300,000 legions, as well as a large number of artillery.

That direct-fire artillery is at least three hundred. That kind of projectile artillery is afraid that there are only as many as 5,000. Most of the barrels were thick. ”

Direct-firing artillery is a formal artillery, and projectile artillery is a mortar. Because the country of Jinyang didn't know the official name, it was named like this. And the barrel is very thick, that is, a 300-mm gun.

To say that a 300-mm gun was heavy, it could not be towed without a large locomotive. But there are cultivators! There are spells! In five or six foundation-building periods, you can carry the cannon and move forward quickly.

Hearing that the country of Qixia was actually preparing to counterattack, and there were so many artillery, Sima Zhen immediately became serious. He quickly came to the main hall and found the relevant personnel to ask how the protective barrier was repaired.

The last big explosion destroyed the foundation and collapsed the city wall, resulting in the defensive barrier of Guangling City, and most of the foundation was damaged.

Guangling City is ten kilometers wide, and it is not a simple matter to repair the foundation of the formation in a short period of time. Fortunately, Sima Zhen got good news, with the full support of various local families, plus the army formation personnel of the country of Jinyang, etc., it has been preliminarily repaired.

Especially the big families of the country of Qixia, they really did their best to show their hearts. And it is precisely because of the 'efforts' of these great families that the Kingdom of Jinyang has completely controlled the entire Guangling City in just six or seven days.

Then Sima Zhen arranged for all the soldiers to start defending the city.

Emperor Zhao Kai appeared in front of Sima Zhen and asked about the strategic situation.

Sima Zhen reported: "Your Majesty, I think it is beneficial for us to defend the city. There is a saying in the art of war, and ten rules surround it. And now we have more than 500,000 elites, and with the support of various local families, we have pulled up a team of almost 200,000.

With so many soldiers defending the city, plus the defense of the city itself, it was impregnable.

In contrast, the country of Qixia is only more than 300,000, and they want to besiege and siege the city, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

"There are so many of us, why don't we go to the battlefield for a decisive battle? We have to gain time!" Zhao Kai was a little angry, his daughter was cut off in front of him, and he kept suppressing the murderous aura in his heart.

What's more, because the delay on the side of the country of Qixia is too long, and the loss is too great, it has seriously affected the strategy of the country of Jinyang. And the unexpectedly powerful country of Yanyun in the north also made the royal family of Jinyang country feel urgent.

Sima Zhen slowly pondered these words: "Your Majesty, the last explosion made everyone a little less confident in artillery, explosives, etc. This is how I planned, to defend the city first. With the help of the city's enchantment, the artillery of the country of Qixia will inevitably be severely weakened.

In the past, we have been chasing the land of Qixia to fight, which has caused us to be seriously under-defended in the movement. In this way, it also invisibly amplifies the power of the artillery of the country of Qixia.

Now, with the help of an imperial city's enchantment, we should be able to greatly reduce the power of artillery. As long as the defense lasts for three or two days, and the soldiers realize that artillery is nothing more than that, their morale will be greatly boosted.

At that time, the minister will personally lead the army out of the city for a decisive battle!"

Then, Sima Zhen added slightly: "This time, the country of Qixia dispatched 300 direct-fire artillery pieces and more than 5,000 curved artillery. ”

Zhao Kai listened and finally nodded. "Nice, well arranged. The war will be handed over to you. The Jade Maiden Sword Sect Elder and I are in charge of dealing with Liu Dingshan. ”

"Elder Taishang of the Jade Maiden Sword Sect?" Sima Zhen was puzzled. But apparently Zhao Kai would not answer his doubts, turned around and left.

But it was Zhao Ying who was recuperating in the rear, and Zhao Kai couldn't swallow this breath, this time he invited Xie Yingxin, the Supreme Elder of the Jade Girl Sword Sect, to fight together, preparing to destroy Liu Dingshan in one fell swoop.

Only Zhao Kai knows best, and now he completely belongs to the incarnation period of the Jinyang Kingdom, which is himself, his daughter Zhao Ying, and Xie Yingxin, the Supreme Elder of the Jade Girl Sword Sect.

The elder Qing Hongzi of the Jiuyang Sect who had just taken refuge in the Jiuyang Sect had only recovered to the late stage of the Yuan Infant Period after his cultivation, and whether this person was reliable for the time being still had to be considered.

After all, this Qing Hongzi had just betrayed the country of Qixia. This is definitely a person who flies separately when a catastrophe comes. It may be okay to fight with the wind, but if there are a little bad signs, this Qing Hongzi may be smeared with oil on the soles of his feet.

There is also a Dingshan Dao Leader, this is Xie Yingxin's Taoist companion, an elder of the Holy Land in the middle of the Fertile Earth Continent, an elder of the Carefree Sect, and also a god transformation period.

However, because of the identity restrictions, if it was the country of Jinyang, he might have taken action, but he would not have made a move in a foreign war. The Holy Land has a code of conduct for the Holy Land.

So this time Zhao Kai invited Xie Yingxin and prepared to kill Liu Dingshan together. And Zhao Ying was recuperating in the south and defending Song Yan, a master of the Transformation Period in the country of Danyang. Although Zhao Ying was injured, there was no problem at all in temporarily blocking Song Ying.

Coming to the sky, Zhao Kai expressed his gratitude to Xie Yingxin. "Trouble, I'm afraid this battle will be a little dangerous, we are all in the middle of the transformation period, if Liu Dingshan is desperate in the end, be careful. ”

Xie Yingxin smiled lightly and said softly: "I'm afraid that he won't work hard." I brought a baby with me this time. ”

After speaking, he stood quietly above the white clouds, Ruo Lingbo Fairy.

Zhao Kai's eyes glanced at Xie Yingxin a little greedily. This is a beautiful and elegant woman, and the cultivation of the incarnation period has not left traces of time on her body, but a kind of elegance and nobility full of the breath of time.

There is no need to deliberately operate, Xie Yingxin just stands there casually, like a fairy Lingchen. The breeze in the sky blew her pale blue dress, and in the misty white clouds, it seemed to be about to ride the wind away.

But suddenly, Zhao Kai turned his head suddenly, and a powerful figure rushed towards the imperial capital, directly rushing to the palace location.

"Liu, Ding, Shan!" Zhao Kai's eyes instantly turned red, "Today you are dead!"

With that, he rushed down with Xie Yingxin.

Liu Dingshan turned his head to look at Zhao Kai and smiled contemptuously: "Yo, I've found a helper." But aren't you afraid I'll cut off your gang's hand again today?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Zhao Kai's killing machine suddenly broke out, and he roared and killed him: "Die!"

Zhao Kai turned into a sword light, and a white rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky, which was a huge sword light. The sword light fell from the sky, completely locking on Liu Dingshan.

And Xie Yingxin also smiled lightly, and in the wave of her slender jade hand, a white silk fluttered, but the white silk flew into a nine-day waterfall and rolled towards Liu Dingshan. She wants to restrict Liu Dingshan's actions and prepare for the lore.

The roar and battle in the sky attracted countless attention in Guangling City. To be honest, when I saw Liu Dingshan rushing directly before, many guys with ghosts in their hearts were startled. Now seeing Zhao Kai and Xie Yingxin teaming up against Zhao Kai, everyone was suddenly excited and cheered for Zhao Kai and Xie Yingxin.

Liu Dingshan heard it, looked at the ugliness below, and a trace of ...... flashed in his eyes Yes, relax. To sacrifice a city of people to kill two incarnation gods, Liu Dingshan is not so ruthless, and it also has an impact on cultivation and mood.

The previous decision was nothing but a no-brainer. At that time, Liu Dingshan had already decided to sacrifice part of his interests to achieve the country of Qixia. The effect of a large number of killings on the state of mind is immeasurable.

The reason why the Transformation Stage agreed with each other not to do anything in the Yuan Infant Stage and below was not only because they thought that they were thinking about this cultivation world, but more importantly, they were afraid that a large number of killings would affect their state of mind.

The frenzied killing 10,000 years ago led to countless gods in the god transformation period. Those who come after have to take this as a warning.

Liu Dingshan didn't tell anyone about the previous decision, he decided to carry it himself. But now seeing that these people are actually cheering, Liu Dingshan smiled and was relieved. Very well, even if I kill all of you with my own hands now, I will not have any demons in my heart.

You guys really ...... There is a way to take death! You are looking for death, but you can't complain about me.

In the next moment, Liu Dingshan suddenly erupted, and the momentum of the late stage of the transformation of the god soared into the sky, and the surrounding air burst into layers of ripples, and the ripples hit the building, and the building shattered. This sudden burst of momentum was like a shock wave of an explosion. The strength of the incarnation period can be seen.

Liu Dingshan laughed loudly, he was full of pride, grabbed Zhao Kai, grabbed the white silk falling from the sky, and dragged Xie Yingxin down.

"Not good!" Zhao Kai and Xie Ying's hearts fluttered. But it was too late, Liu Dingshan laughed loudly, his pride was like a wave, and he threw the two of them to the ground.

Liu Dingshan's sudden outburst can be called lightning fast. Zhao Kai and Xie Yingxin didn't expect this change at all, and they didn't react at all.

only heard two bangs, and the two were thrown to the ground. And in the process of the two of them descending, they also fell into Liu Dingshan's small seal, which made the action even more sluggish.

By the time Zhao Kai and Xie Yingxin got up and reacted, Liu Dingshan had already rushed up to a height of ten kilometers.

In the next moment, an enchantment emerged from the foot of Liu Ding Mountain.

Seal the sky and lock the earth array, start!
