439 Chapter 433 the battle to destroy Wu

In the capital city of great Wu, it was a mess.

The news of LAN nuo Xing’s appearance and a group of elite Yan cultivators following the river to the West had already reached jiandu.

Within jiandu city, many people were cursing at LAN nuo Xing. However, what was the use of these insults when they were thousands of miles away? Could it be that scolding Raynor would kill him?

However, there was another more reliable method, and someone suggested it. He had captured LAN nuo Xing’s family and used them as hostages.

LAN nuo Xing was born in a famous sect in the state of Wu, and later on, he also became the leader of this sect called ‘immortal flame sect’. However, no matter what, the immortal Fire sect was still serving the Wu country. A large number of cultivators were still fighting on the frontlines. They couldn’t possibly implicate the entire Immortal Fire sect just because of LAN nuo Xing’s act of betrayal.

On the other hand, many of LAN nuoxing’s juniors, the so-called LAN family, were rather good targets that could be directly targeted.

However, just as this matter was about to be carried out, there was new news. The LAN family’s encampment had been attacked by several nascent soul cultivators of unknown origins. There had been no news for two days.

At this point in time, even though there was no concrete evidence, the so-called ‘unknown’ nascent soul cultivator should be someone from the group that LAN nuo Xing was leading.

What else could he do?

At the front line of Yangzhou, was it an easy thing to block Weiyun in the North? Under the circumstances that the Wu State did not have a Dharma adept in their own country, the Holy See was able to achieve this not only because they had the geographical advantage, but also because the Wu State had already invested most of its military power into the front line in Yangzhou.

There was nothing wrong with saying that it was empty inside.

Right now, there might only be some mobile forces in the South of Yangzhou, and they would need to support the front lines in Yangzhou at any time. In addition, jiandu still had some backup forces.

And then, that was all.

The great river, which was supposed to be great Wu’s last and most important line of defense, had been led by LAN nuo Xing and crossed from the southern bank before it could be used.

The defensive facilities and formations along the way had probably been destroyed.

What was even more terrifying was that the team led by Raynor Xing, according to the latest news, was heading straight for jiandu!

The main Army in the North had no way and no time to return to defend.

With the current situation, would the defensive power of jiandu be able to stop LAN nuo Xing?

Even the Wu people did not have the confidence to do so.

Thus, when Qianqian’s 1000-man army was still 5000 miles away from jiandu, a piece of news reached LAN nuo Xing and Lu yuchao’s ears.

Wu Huang had run away.

Sun Qingyang, the Emperor of Wu State, left jiandu with many high-ranking officials of the Imperial court and headed west. He also took many high-level cultivators with him as guards.

Furthermore, before they left, they had almost emptied jiandu.

The scale of a single city like jiandu might be even larger than that of Yan city. It was impossible to completely empty such a large city in such a short time. However, most of the wealth and treasures must have been taken away.

And the remaining jiandu Kongtong wasn’t considered to be in space. After all, there were still many people who could not escape with Emperor Wu.

However, it was also because of this that it caused even greater chaos.

The people of capital city were already in a state of panic because of the enemy’s arrival. After Emperor Wu and even the Imperial court of the Wu State fled, it fell into a huge mess overnight.

With external pressure and internal disorder, jiandu, which had completely gone out of control, had turned into a living hell in just a few days. Some people took the opportunity to stir up trouble, plundered their wealth, and killed each other. Those with connections couldn’t keep up with the Imperial court’s retreat and ran away. There were also some who had other thoughts. They were prepared to open their doors and surrender when the Yan people led by LAN nuo Xing arrived. Even the defenders of the capital city, who had been ordered to fight to the death, had their morale at a terrifying low.

With the current situation, who couldn’t tell that those who were left behind in the capital city were abandoned?

Even if the Imperial court of Wu State still left a general who was willing to die to guard this place, it could only be said to be a token. It would not change the overall situation fundamentally.

After Raynor Xing’s troops arrived, the city gates of jiandu city opened that night.

First, the West Gate opened, and a large number of people began to run away. Soon after, the East Gate also opened, and someone came out with the head of the general who stayed behind to surrender to Raynor Xing.

When everyone entered the Wu country’s Imperial Palace and saw the desolate scenery, they finally reacted-such a large celestial nation had actually been conquered by them so easily.

Lu mingchao felt a little emotional as she looked at the fearful and reverent people from the Wu Kingdom who followed her.

“This is too easy. I thought we would have to fight a series of hard battles to have a chance to win a great merit. I didn’t expect that we haven’t even fought a decent battle since we landed, and we are already here.”

There were also people at the side who continued.

The victors ‘words made the surrounding Wu people feel embarrassed. However, since they had already made their decision, how could they change their minds because of this little bit of psychological discomfort?

However, there was another person who was the winner and also a Wu citizen.

Raynor Xing.

After listening for a long time, he finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. He waved the red and white cattail leaf fan in his hand, and a ball of Immortal Fire flew up with the wind, exploding into a firework in the sky.

Everyone immediately shut their mouths.

......

Lu Qingquan saw all of this.

Of course, Lu Qing also knew that the focus of the battle to destroy Wu would definitely be the surprise attack of this small team. It was impossible to count on the Qi Army.

After the war began, although he had been running on both sides-it did not take much effort, as he could just activate the training mode and teleport to another target-his main energy was definitely still on the assault team.

Earlier on, when he had made the decision to make a feint to the East and attack with the elite team led by fa Xiang, he had thought that the success rate would be higher. Otherwise, he would not have sent such an elite team to the front line.

However, the smooth progress of the matter was still a little too unexpected.

The Wu country’s will to resist was so weak that it made one’s hair stand on end.

It was not as if they did not have any chance at all. In reality, Lu Qing knew that the Wu nation had already been in contact with the Chu nation in the West since a long time ago. Although a conflict had just broken out between the two countries, Chu was also eyeing great Wu covetously, treating it as a piece of fat meat. However, at this point, it was not the time to consider so much.

This was a national crisis. Besides, it was also useful to declare to Chu that if the lips were gone, the teeth would be cold. There was no doubt that the emperors of the Yan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom were both surnamed Lu. Such a huge Union, the power displayed by the Yan Kingdom, and Lu Qing’s power would cause a huge strategic imbalance between the Nine Kingdoms, which had originally been balanced.

Originally, the overbearing attitude of the Qin country in the Western world had already made people very worried. In the end, before the Qin country could make any big moves, the Yan and Qi countries merged into one in the East. Then, they even swallowed the Wu country like a whale.

If they really succeeded, the three great countries in the East of the entire world, from north to south, would combine into one, and it would be an out-and-out terrifying force.

As long as the Chu State still had a bit of ambition, or perhaps they were a bit smarter, it would be a wise choice for them to support the Wu State in the South.

...

However, Emperor Wu’s escape to the West was fatal.

Although the Yan country’s raid team led by LAN ruoxing was strong on average, their numbers were too small. As long as the Wu country was determined to defend and retracted all forces from the surrounding to jiandu city, with the help of the powerful spiritual veins and exquisite formations here, even if they did not have any Dharma cultivators on their side and LAN nuo Xing was on the other side, they would still have a chance of defending.

After all, the Yan country’s surprise attack team was really short of manpower.

Even if they couldn’t hold on for a lifetime, they could at least hold on for a long time until the Army of Chu State came to rescue them.

Unfortunately, Wu Huang was much more cowardly than he had imagined.

Lu Qing had a second plan. If they couldn’t even take down the city even with the efforts of building the city, then they would let LAN nuo Xing lead the troops and head north as soon as possible. Together with the Qi country’s Army led by Wei Yun, they would launch a pincer attack from the north and south. They would then destroy the Wu country’s main forces at the Yangzhou defense line. That was also an alternative.

Even if it did not work, Lu Qing could still exchange for a revival exchange option and appear on the scene.

No matter how strong the Yangzhou line set up by the Wu State was, it was impossible for it to withstand the fierce attack of Lu Qing’s team and three materialization cultivators.

Although the ambush team’s goal had been achieved smoothly, they didn’t need to give up on this plan.

Taking down jiandu city was of great significance, but at the same time, it was also very important to defeat or even annihilate the main force of Wu country at the front line of Yangzhou.

It was just that this was originally a surprise attack to warn the Tiger. After achieving unprecedented success, it would definitely be of greater help to the follow-up plans.

...

......

The news of jiandu city being captured and Emperor Wu leading the Imperial court to flee to the West quickly reached the front lines in Yangzhou.

The morale of the Army was greatly shaken.

After that, they even heard that the team led by LAN nuo Xing did not stay in jiandu city. Instead, they left the city and went to the outside world to sweep the area.

The direct consequence of this was that the supply of supplies at the front line in Yangzhou became intermittent. Half a month later, it was even stopped.

This would be a huge blow to the war on the front line.

At the front line, the Army of Wu country was facing great pressure from Wei Yun.

No matter how much effort the Qi people put in, they were still attacking non-stop. Between them, there were casualties, but there would definitely be injuries.

As for injuries, they would always need all kinds of medical supplies in order to be treated better.

Even if they didn’t take into account the healing supplies, a large number of cultivators had consumed a lot of energy reserves after the continuous battles. And if he didn’t use medicinal pills and spirit stones to find a way to make up for it, he would need a long time to recuperate.

In a war with great pressure, there was no such condition.

The lack of resources, the fall of the capital, the escape of the royal family, and all these factors added up to cause the morale of the Wu Kingdom’s soldiers at the front line of Yangzhou to inevitably fall.

People all cherished their lives.

At the edge of the defensive line, some cultivators who were not strong enough to fight and were not considered as the elites of Wu State had already betrayed and fled. They were only cultivators from some small sects and small families.

They had lost their will to fight. They had run to the other side and joined the Qi Kingdom. That wasn’t the case. However, they had taken advantage of a certain time when no one was paying attention to them. They had gone to Nanyu. That was something that was already happening.

The higher-ups of the Wu Army who discovered this also thought of a solution. They had executed many people, including some middle-and high-level people who were not well-supervised. They were also severely punished.

It was only through this method that they managed to stop the tide of deserters.

But even so, no one could deny that the front line in Yangzhou could not last for long.

In order for any defense line to remain strong, the hardware and equipment were important, but the People’s hearts were even more important.

An unguarded line of defense would not be able to hold for long.

This situation had reached its peak when LAN nuo Xing had led an elite troop of over three hundred people to the South of Yangzhou and suddenly attacked the Wu Army’s reserve camp, killing over a thousand people. With a single immortal flame, he had destroyed all the resources that the Wu Army had painstakingly plundered and stored for a long time in Yangzhou, which were meant to be used for long-term battles.

More importantly, LAN nuo Xing had personally killed a general of the Wu Army named Wang Longchang.

Wang Longchang was a firm supporter of war.

Due to many factors, the Wu Army had a second wave of escapees.

However, Wei Yun and LAN nuo Xing weren’t willing to let go of this opportunity.

There was information that confirmed that Chu state’s Army had already been mobilized. The vanguard troops had already entered the territory of Wu State from the West.

If the battle did not end quickly, Lu Qing did not want to see the subsequent developments.

After deciding on the time and place, Weiyun personally went into battle again. This time, she was accompanied by the cultivators from the Qi state’s aristocratic families who had completely sided with the Lu clan. In comparison, they were much better at following orders.

Lu Chaohe and Weiyun had already given clear orders to attack with all their might.

Just as the battle was at its most intense, LAN nuo Xing suddenly appeared from the rear. historical

Although he didn’t bring anyone with him, he was alone. He revealed his Dharma and used a sky-high fire to drown them. The power was terrifying enough.

Seeing the opportunity, Wei Yun also used his full strength. Giant water swords filled the sky and appeared on the battlefield.

Under the illumination of the water and fire, great Wu’s defense line was broken in an instant.
