440 The destruction of great Wu
Under the fire and water, great Wu’s defense line was broken.
At first, there was a violent shock to the boundary formation, followed by a strong backlash, which appeared on the bodies of many cultivators of Wu State who were maintaining the formation. Many people vomited blood and their meridians were broken.
In fact, if this was all there was to it, the entire defense line was not hopeless.
The people who came after him took over. Everyone was not afraid of death and fought through it. The Dharma adept could only fight for a limited time. With the help of the spiritual vein formation, as long as they could resist the first wave, the people who came after them would be able to hold on. They would be able to defend, at least not lose.
However, it was still too difficult for the cultivators of Wu State whose morale was already very low.
In the first wave, many people suffered too strong an attack because of the formation, which led to serious injuries. After that, there were very few people who were willing to make up for it. Even under the constant shouts and requests of the high-level cultivators, everyone’s action was slow.
And this kind of action was really unbearable.
Once the formation was broken, everything would be irreversible.
Water and fire flooded in and collided with each other. Large amounts of steam rose, but it was a hellish scene.
Not only did this scene look terrifying, but the people who were in it were also facing a hellish situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPreviously, he was unwilling to fight to the death, but now, he didn’t even have the chance to fight to the death. Without the protection of a solid formation, the scattered cultivators of Wu country, despite their large number, had no way to gather their strength together. In a state of disunity, the advantage of numbers was completely insufficient in front of the Dharma adepts-at least, these Wu country cultivators were not enough.
A large number of people died inside just like that.
The so-called line of defense was, of course, a solid and complete line. If one of them was broken through, the entire defense line would be meaningless.
A slight collapse would bring about a complete collapse.
And in this Great Collapse, great Wu’s main Army had been wiped out.
After the collapse of the defensive line, the Qi Kingdom’s Army erupted with a fighting power that was far more powerful than before. In the previous siege battle, those aristocratic families who did not put in any effort were finally willing to put in the effort at this time.
This was easy to understand.
In the beginning, these Qi people didn’t know that there was another group lying in ambush in the eastern sea of Wu country. In their view, they were facing an iron wall that Wu State had been operating for countless years.
Under the leadership of Weiyun, they might have a chance to break through great Wu’s defense line, but it would take a long time, and many people would die under this iron wall.
Originally, when they made the decision to attack Wu State, it was very sudden and loud. Although the matter was settled by the authority of the royal family-mainly due to the pressure of the Yan Kingdom-a large number of aristocratic families were actually dissatisfied with this.
With such an attitude, it was normal for them to not put in any effort on the battlefield.
But this had to be said on two sides.
They didn’t want to risk their lives because they felt that the price they had to pay was too high, and the gains were too small. Of course, they could get a lot of benefits by conquering Wu country. But who knew how long it would take and how many people would die?
But now, combined with the news released by various parties, great Wu’s capital city had been taken down, and the defense line set up by the main force of Wu state’s Army on the border of Yangzhou had also been broken. Large amounts of benefits and military achievements were right in front of them.
As a result, the attitudes of the aristocratic families changed rapidly and they started to be more active. This was a very normal thing.
As for the previous tacit understanding between them and the Wu country, what was that?
Not to mention that they did not have any written agreements, even if they did, they could tear it up at any time when it was for the interests of the country.
......
Sun Qingyang, the Emperor of Wu country, was in a terrible situation.
When he led the Imperial court of Wu country away from jiandu city, he had initially thought of gathering forces elsewhere before making a plan.
Because of this, they even came into contact with the Chu country’s Vanguard. Regardless of the conditions, they still needed the help of Chu State.
With the support of the Chu State, their days became much better. At least, they felt much more secure.
However, not long after, the news that the frontline in Yangzhou had collapsed and that the main force of Wu State had been completely annihilated in one battle spread. Everything changed.
The attitude of the Chu people, who had been treating them courteously, suddenly changed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmImmediately after, a Minister who had left jiandu with sun Qingyang said that the Chu people had ill intentions.
Sun Qingyang was well aware of this. When they evacuated, they took away a considerable amount of property from jiandu. In the beginning, the Chu people might not have had this idea. After all, they still treated them as equal allies. Even if they wanted to use the power of Wu State to block the Yan Qi coalition Army and cut a piece of meat from Wu State, they still needed to use the power of Wu State.
Although the Dharma laksana of the Wu State had already rebelled, it was still one of the nine great celestial nations and still had a strong foundation. It would definitely be able to pull out a very strong force in the Army of ordinary cultivators.
However, the defeat of the Wu state’s main Army at the front line in Yangzhou had completely destroyed this situation.
In the eyes of the Chu people, the Wu State had already fallen.
The capital had been occupied, and the country’s main military forces had been annihilated. What was there to talk about? At this time, it would be na?ve to expect the people of Chu to treat Qing Yang, the grandson of Emperor Wu, as an honored guest and an equal ally. historical
Sun Qingyang wanted to run, but he failed. The Chu country’s Vanguard Army had blocked their way. Even the Chu country’s Grand Preceptor, the Dharma plane expert Fei Bo, had come in person.
Just like that, he and his exiled imperial court became the prisoners of the Chu people.
Of course, both sides were still in an Alliance in name. The people of Chu still needed to use the name of sun Qingyang as the Emperor to gather the power of Wu State as much as possible to fight against the Allied forces of Yan and Qi.
However, this matter had nothing to do with the Wu State. Next, this would become a battle between the Chu army and the Yan Qi Army.
No matter who won or lost, sun Qingyang knew that he wouldn’t have any good days ahead.
The best outcome would be to become a puppet emperor. However, this hope was very slim. If they really wanted to support a puppet emperor, why didn’t they find someone from the sun family who was easy to control?
As for the worst outcome, he was afraid that he would not even be able to maintain the name of Wu country.
Sun Qingyang couldn’t help but cry.
But who could he blame for this?
