empire wars

Chapter 181
"The two patriarchs, Li Yan and Fang Zhi, will entrust you with the command of this battle. You must block the attack of Qin Yuan's army."

Yuan Zi said to the two middle-aged men in front of him.

Li Yan is the current head of the Li family, one of the eight great families in Nanyang. Li Fu died under Qin Yuan's hands, so in the discussion just now, Li Yan's main battle mood has been high.

And Fang Zhi is the current patriarch of the Fang family, one of the eight great aristocratic families in Nanyang. Fang Ruilin, the patriarch of the Fang family, is an innate strong man who presides over the overall situation, so it is only natural that he be the commander.

As for the Zhuge family and the group, as well as Zhuge Hui, a strong man in the realm of refining gods, they were marginalized.

On the side of the aristocratic family, if they don't ask the Zhuge family to contribute, but only hope that the Zhuge family will not join the enemy, that would be good.

"Okay, I'll definitely do it."

Li Yan's expression froze, and he answered with a bitter face.

Fang Zhi on the side nodded slightly. Someone had to stand up and take responsibility for this matter, and he was the best candidate.

In fact, Fang Ruilin has the support of his ancestor Fang Ruilin behind him. Once the battle in Nanyang City breaks out, except for a few innate powerhouses, everyone must obey his orders. Li Yan has no innate powerhouses behind him, but just serves as a background board .

This time, it is also a good opportunity for the Fang family to expand their influence and influence in the family.

If he wins this battle, he may even have a chance to replace the Zhuge family and become the number one family in Nanyang. If he goes one step further and becomes a powerful family, it may not be impossible.

With the end of the meeting, the entire Nanyang City moved.

The [-] troops originally stationed in the barracks were quickly transferred to various positions.

Compared with other vassal forces, Nanyang's [-] troops can be said to be well-trained and well-armored.

Because this is an army of [-] supported by hundreds of families from the eight great families. It can be said that they are the best soldiers among the best soldiers. These families have never been extravagant in the training of the army.

It can be said that it has everything that one needs, even the elite under Qin Yuan may not be comparable to the army in Nanyang City in terms of treatment.

After all, the aristocratic family controls the lifeblood of the entire dynasty, and its wealth is as rich as any country. It can easily support an army of 10 people, let alone so many families supporting 10 people.

You must know that behind the general princes, there are only one or two aristocratic families supporting them, and they can pull hundreds of thousands of troops.

In addition to the [-] elite troops, Fang Zhi followed the agreement reached at the meeting and transferred some private soldiers from each family to participate in the city defense.

Now, it is the moment of life and death for Nanyang City, all families must contribute to keep Nanyang City.

Otherwise, once Qin Yuan's army breaks through Nanyang City, all the families may suffer.

After all, these families are not clean, and even did some things against Qin Yuan.

Even behind some of the princes participating in the hegemony, there are many Nanyang families supporting them.

"The private soldiers of each family sent a total of 17 troops, plus [-] city guards, and [-] Tianyang troops in the barracks, making a total of [-] soldiers."

After making some statistics, Li Yan said to Fang Zhi. "If everything is desperate, each family can still gather [-] troops."

"Let's do this for the time being. If they really want to give up everything, I'm afraid the enemy will knock us down before they break through the city."

Fang Zhi led the army to the city wall.

He looked outside the city and saw the billowing smoke getting closer and closer.

The army led by Qin Yuan is approaching step by step.

The war is about to break out.

This battle will determine the life and death of the entire Nanyang City.

Even if they still have the option of avoiding fighting, this approach is not practical.

Because, they couldn't guarantee that the city defense array could always block Qin Yuan's attack.

If they can't stop them, they must be the turtles in the urn.

It's better to fight with one of them now, who will win and who will lose is still undecided.

"If it's a conventional army fighting, I'm not afraid. Nanyang City's defenses are very complete. Even if a million troops besiege the city, it won't be able to take it down. It's just that I heard that Qin Yuan's special elite troops can even smash the city wall of Jingzhou. The walls of Nanyang City are not much stronger than Jingzhou City."

Li Yan said worriedly, "Besides, if this special elite unit storms into the city, we may lose our lives."

This doubt, of course, is well-founded.

In fact, Qin Yuan's tenth-tier units had crushing power against ordinary soldiers, and it was easy for one person to kill 100 ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, these tenth-tier units will choose the generals and officers of the enemy army as the first target to kill.

As long as all the important generals of the enemy army are beheaded, leaving a group of soldiers without the commander, it will be much easier to kill or persuade them to surrender.

"This is not something we consider. I believe that the ancestors will have a way to deal with it."

Fang Zhi naturally thought of this, but he didn't have a solution.

After all, it is a tenth-tier unit, and any soldier, the worst one, has the strength of the acquired first class.

It is also an important member in the aristocratic family.

The total number of Houtian warriors in the entire Nanyang City family does not exceed seventy at most.

Even if they were gathered together, they might not be able to defeat even a hundred-man squad, and they would not be able to form an effective combat capability at all.

And the only thing they can rely on is the seven innate level ancestors.

However, Fang Zhi and Li Yan were not the only patriarchs who were afraid of Qin Yuan's tenth-tier elite troops.

Behind the city tower, in an inconspicuous place, seven people, Yuan Ao, Fang Ruilin, Zhuge Hui, stood together.

There are two main reasons for their fear of Qin Yuan.

The first is Qin Yuan himself, and several generals under Qin Yuan's innate realm.

Second, of course, are the thousands of tenth-level special units.

After repeated battle reports and analysis, they knew that the strength of the tenth-tier special arms was at least equivalent to one innate warrior with 100 people.

Even, it has the strength to kill innate warriors.

And Qin Yuan had not only one hundred or two hundred people under his command, but a total of 4000 people.

The most important thing is that after Qin Yuan captured Nanjiang Jingzhou, he obtained about [-] luck points, which he has not yet used.

If the situation is not right, Qin Yuan can instantly summon ten more famous generals with innate combat power.

Or summon [-] tenth-tier troops.

No matter which one it is, the mere seven innate-level combat abilities are really not enough.

Even without spending any luck points, with the power Qin Yuan brought this time, he would have a crushing advantage.

Qin Yuan led an army of 40 soldiers to the outside of Nanyang City.

The densely packed army, at a glance, there is no end in sight.

In addition to the elite of Qin Yuan's headquarters, there are 20 troops of Meng Tian's Xuanyong Army, and the 20 Jingzhou Army under the King of Southern Jing.

As for Bai Qi's God Killing Army, Zhao Yun's Yulong Army left Jingzhou City with Qin Yuan's army.

However, they did not go directly to Nanyang City.

From Qin Yuan's point of view, his own arrival, plus 40 troops, to deal with a mere Nanyang City is enough to give face to the aristocratic families in Nanyang City.

Bai Qi's Killing God Army went all the way south after resupplying in Jingzhou City.

Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Zhunan Alliance in Nanhuang Yuezhou have already entered the scope of Nanjiang Jingzhou and occupied two prefectures.

The order Bai Qi received this time was to meet this army.

Zhao Yun's Yulong Legion, on the other hand, traveled eastward all the way.

Zhao Yun's enemy is Li Deyi from Tianwu Prefecture.

According to the news received this time, with the support of all parties, Li Deyi dispatched 60 troops to participate in the coalition forces against the Tyrant Qin.

Starting from Tianwu Prefecture, Nanjiang Jingzhou is a must pass.

Even before, when the King of Nanjing was besieged by many parties, Li Deyi occupied quite a lot of territory in Jingzhou of Nanjiang.

Of course, the current King of Southern Jing is indeed not an ally of the aristocratic family's coalition forces.

In addition to this general and the legion, Li Xin and Ma Chao who entered the territory of Nanjiang Jingzhou began to go north after Nanjiang Jingzhou fell into Qin Yuan's control.

In the Central Plains to the north, although there are 60 Northern Qiang soldiers, plus Lu Bu, Li Cunxiao, and Guo Ziyi, three innate generals, they are facing Yuan Zi, Zhao Shangqian, Gongsun Chi and other powerful princes, and even pressure from the court. The situation is not optimistic.

Therefore, sending two more armies and 40 troops to support them can at least relieve some pressure.

After Qin Yuan solves the problem in Nanyang City, he will engage in a formal battle with them.

At that time, I am afraid that the real war will break out, and it will be a fight to the death with the power of the aristocratic family.

The former Jingzhou City and the current Nanyang City are just trials and tribulations with the power of the aristocratic family.

In Qin Yuan's view, it was nothing at all.

If you can't even win Nanyang City, how can you talk about dealing with all the aristocratic families and the allied forces of the princes.

"My lord, there is an army protecting the city outside Nanyang City. Let the subordinates deal with it. It can be broken in half an hour at most."

Outside Nanyang City, 40 troops began to deploy.

Although the difference in strength between the enemy and the enemy is obvious, it is a necessary arrangement, and it is still necessary.

Lions fight rabbits, still need to go all out.

What's more, the strength of the enemy is not weak.

According to Qin Yuan's information, the city has at least 15 defensive forces.

Innate combat power, temporarily unknown.

However, Yuan Ao and his party originally planned to come to Jingzhou City to support Situ Lang and the others.

However, with the destruction of Jingzhou City and the destruction of Situ Lang and the others, Yuan Ao changed his target and arrived at Nanyang City first to unite with the forces in the city.

Nowadays, the mood for the main battle in Nanyang City is high, and Yuan Ao is indispensable behind it.

"it is good!"

Qin Yuan nodded slightly, fully approving Meng Tian's ability.

The Xuanyong formation under Meng Tian's hands alone is stronger than any defensive formation in this world.

In front of Meng Tian, ​​the enemy's defensive formation is nothing more than an axe.

After Meng Tian got the permission, he led a Xuanyong army of thousands of people and headed towards Nanyang City.

"King of Southern Jing, the important task of attacking the city is entrusted to you."

Qin Yuan said to King Nanjing on the other side.

"no problem."

King Nanjing's expression did not change at all.

Although he knew that Qin Yuan was using himself, even using the strength of himself and the Jingzhou Legion.

However, he had to do it.

This is for his own life and future, and he also hopes to show off more in front of Qin Yuan and win more conditions from Qin Yuan.

After all, Qin Yuan not only held the life of King Nanjing alone, but also the lives of hundreds of people in King Nanjing's lineage.

Qin Yuan's previous condition was to let the King of Nanjing go, but he did not agree to let go of the entire lineage of King of Nanjing.

Of course, Qin Yuan did not threaten King Nanjing with this.

Both of them are smart people, so naturally they won't make it clear, and everything goes without saying.

How many clansmen the King of Southern Jing wants to take away depends on how much merit he can make in Qin Yuan's hands in exchange for some benefits.

"Arrange troops, target, Nanyang City!"

King Nanjing gave orders to the generals under him.

With the issuance of the military order, the 20 Jingzhou Army began to divide into combat camps, and then approached Nanyang City.

On the outskirts of Nanyang City, there is also a layer of transparent corrugated defensive circle.

This formation is one of the biggest pillars of the Nanyang family.

However, at this time Meng Tian had arrived at the front of the formation.

"Who is this? What does he want?"

Fang Zhi asked a question.

But soon, someone gave the situation.

One of Qin Yuan's generals is good at formations, and most importantly, he is also a strong man in the innate realm.

"It's just a defensive formation, full of loopholes, and it dares to be called a city-protecting formation."

Meng Tian rarely showed contempt for the enemy.

I saw him facing the defensive cover of the formation, bombarded a few times with his spear, and then changed the place and bombarded a few more times.

Constantly changing places, constantly using spears to bombard the formation.

Repeatedly, until the number of times reached No.30 six times, Meng Tian made this move.

"Break it for me!"

Meng Tian shouted loudly, the spear in his hand glowed with cold light, and the spear shot out like light, hitting the magic circle heavily.

Rumble!
Ka Ka Ka!
Afterwards, hundreds of cracks spread rapidly around the center of the spear hit by Meng Tian.

In the end, under the terrified eyes of everyone, the magic circle that the people of Nanyang regarded as the big city protection circle shattered and ceased to exist.

Located at the City Lord's Mansion of Nanyang City, hundreds of children from foreign families guarding the core of the city's great formation stared at the thief, full of disbelief.

Under their horrified gaze, a two-meter-high spiritual stone, which was the core of the large moat formation, seemed to have been drained of its spiritual energy, and turned into a stone that had experienced hundreds of years of turmoil, and finally appeared like a large moat formation. The dense cracks turned into pieces of rubble the size of thumbs.

The moat formation was broken.

Core inspiration, broken.

Even the chance to restart the defensive formation was completely gone.

"kill!"

The King of Nanjing saw that the moat was broken and gave the order to attack.

Immediately, 20 Jingzhou army rushed towards Nanyang City and launched a fierce attack on the city wall.

Boom boom boom!
Rumble!
For a time, the flames of war raged, causing countless casualties.

The battle lasted for more than an hour. On the attacking side, only the Jingzhou Legion made a move.

And Meng Tian, ​​after destroying the city defense formation, retreated to the camp.

Qin Yuan did not take action, and on the opposite side, Yuan Ao and his party also did not take action.

They didn't know what Qin Yuan's purpose was.

However, after discovering that the troops attacking the city were all the Jingzhou Legion originally belonging to King Nanjing, they understood.

This is to use the strength of the Jingzhou Legion to consume the defense of Nanyang City.

In fact, this may be the consumption of the civil war between Nanjiang and Jingzhou.

"How many people died in battle?"

Qin Yuan asked lightly.

"Thirty thousand!"

King Nanjing said with some heartache.

"Enough! Break the city!"

Qin Yuan still had a calm expression.

As Qin Yuan's words fell, the Dragon Scale Army, the Zijin Dragon Guard and the [-]th-rank elite troops quickly dispatched.

With lightning speed, they attacked the city wall of Nanyang City.

It only took less than 3 minutes.

Nanyang City was breached.

3 minutes!
Before, the 20 Jingzhou army spent several hours and killed and injured more than 3 people, but they were unable to break through Nanyang City.

It's a world of difference.

Nanyang City withdrew his gaze, looked at Qin Yuan's handsome and indifferent face, and sighed helplessly.

Perhaps surrendering to Qin Yuan was the most correct choice he made.

If it was true that he and Qin Yuan would not die forever, not only he would die, but even the hundreds of thousands of troops under him would also die.

The Jingzhou Legion is very dependent on the King of Southern Jing and absolutely obeys orders. It is not for nothing.

The face is King Nanjing, who already has a heart of loving the army and the people.

Otherwise, who would work hard for him.

Thinking of this, King Nanjing made a secret decision in his heart.
