Chapter 620: The Fall of Nanyue City
In Nanyue City.
The shouts of the soldiers were endless.
The people in the city all closed their doors and windows tightly, and no one dared to go out.
The sound of swords clashing and the explosion of spells clashing.
The people of Nanyue City were all awakened from their dreams, terrified.
Many people hid in the closets, and many people hid under the beds. They hugged each other tightly, hoping that those people would not rush in.
But in the midst of war, who can really be completely unaffected?
I don't know how many houses collapsed during the fighting.
Countless innocent people were buried under the rubble.
"My Lord, My Lord! Something terrible has happened, My Lord!"
Just when King Ningnan had just finished dealing with his affairs and was lying on the bed to rest, a servant rushed into King Ningnan's room without even knocking on the door.
Normally, servants would be punished.
But King Ningnan also knew that the other party was so rude, and something big must have happened.
"Master, outside, outside." The servant kept gasping for breath. The more he wanted to tell the story, the more he couldn't breathe.
King Lin Nan sat up from the bed, frowning: "Don't worry, tell me what happened."
"Reporting, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The soldiers from Wu State have rushed into Nanyue City. Now the entire Nanyue City has become a mess. Your Majesty, please go and take charge of the situation."
This servant seemed about to cry out loud.
Just now when he came over to report, he saw with his own eyes several people being beheaded. The scene was very bloody at one point.
Listening to the servant's report, King Ningnan frowned.
He was not panicking, but kept calculating in his mind.
For such a veteran of the battlefield, he only knew that as a general, if he lost his composure, it would only make the situation worse.
King Ningnan casually put on a piece of clothing and walked out of the mansion, and saw the soldiers of Wu State fighting with the soldiers of Nanyue City.
"How is this possible?"
King Ningnan frowned, wondering how the other party had managed to break into Nanyue City.
The magic circle of Nanyue City will take effect as long as the city gates are closed.
"Gold and silver!"
Suddenly, King Ningnan seemed to understand everything.
He clenched his fists tightly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the only possibility.
It must be Jin Dayin who betrayed me.
Only Jin Dayin can open the magic circle with the token.
Yesterday, King Ningnan handed the token to Jin Dayin. The main purpose was to gain Jin Dayin's trust and let him work hard for him.
And he didn't think Jin Dae-in would betray him.
The pie I painted for him is definitely big enough.
But in the end, Jin Dayin still betrayed him! Jin Dayin opened the city gate and led Wu Guo in.
In fact, although Jin Dayin said that he was cooperating well with him, he had actually already defected to the Wu Kingdom.
"Jin Dayin! I will kill you!"
There was a fierce light in King Ningnan's eyes, like a lion.
But King Ningnan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation.
In any case, the number of soldiers in Nanyue City is three times that of Wu State.
Moreover, in terms of high-end combat power, Nanyue City is much stronger than Wu State.
Although I was caught off guard by the other party and suffered certain losses.
But I haven't lost yet.
King Ningnan returned to his mansion again. He knew that a general would come to find him soon. If he walked around, he would not be able to give orders.
As expected, one general after another rushed to the mansion.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" General Yu looked at King Ningnan nervously.
"Everyone, don't panic. Even if we have to fight face to face, we won't necessarily lose. Pass my order down. All soldiers can just charge at the Wu soldiers when they see them. Do everything you can to close the city gates as soon as possible! Since they are here, we will make sure they never come back!"
"It's the prince!"
All the deputy generals immediately left the mansion to issue orders.
In fact, there was no need for King Ningnan to give any orders. In such a panic, the others would naturally kill any enemy they saw.
And everyone knows how important it is to close the city gates.
However, the order given personally by King Ningnan would make the soldiers feel at ease.
Soon, the fighting in Nanyue City became more and more intense.
Xu Ming held a long sword and killed the monks in Nanyue City one after another.
No cultivator who gets close to Xu Ming can survive.
Later, when they saw Xu Ming, they subconsciously stepped back, with cold sweat on their foreheads.
"Wu country kid! Take my punch!"
A warrior at the top level of Qi State threw a punch at Xu Ming.
Xu Ming just glanced at him indifferently, then threw a punch in the same way.
When the two fists collided, the martial artist's internal energy was dispersed.
Both sides retreated ten meters.
The man loosened his hand and stared at Xu Ming.
The man named Jin Shuo saw Xu Ming killing enemies with a sword.
But what I didn't expect was that the other party was actually a warrior.
Although he was only at the Far-Reaching Realm, his physical strength was actually extremely exaggerated, and was actually comparable to his own realm.
"You are Xu Ming, right?"
Jin Shuo had already guessed who the man in front of him was.
He is a swordsman at the Jade Raw Material Realm and also a wandering warrior.
At that time, Xu Ming asked all the warriors in the world for advice on boxing, and asked all the cultivators in the world for advice on swordsmanship.
Apart from Xu Ming, there is no other person.
"Exactly."
Xu Ming responded calmly.
"Okay, okay! Then I want to see how hard your fist is!"
Jin Shuo took a step forward.
The bricks on the ground had already cracked where they were.
His fist was like a dragon emerging from the sea, carrying with it the roar of a giant dragon.
Xu Ming also threw a punch.
Xu Ming's fist blasted towards the opponent like a storm.
The divine man beats the drum!
Every time Xu Ming threw a punch, the second punch was more powerful, one punch adding up to another.
Gradually, Jin Shuo began to feel a bit tired.
For the last punch, Xu Ming changed from the god-beating drum style to the sea-opening punch. When he threw a punch, the fist force came like a tidal wave.
Jin Shuo couldn't dodge in time and could only take it.
But in an instant, Jin Shuo turned into a bloody mist.
The soldiers of Qi were fighting for control of the city gate and wanted to close it again.
If the city gates could be closed again, the army behind the Wu State could be blocked.
Not only that, the Wu soldiers in Nanyue City will also be isolated and helpless.
I can completely annihilate this part of the manpower, turn the original disadvantage into an advantage, and even inflict severe damage on them.
The soldiers of Wu State were not fools, they naturally knew this.
Therefore, most people fought towards the city gate. No matter what, the city gate had to remain open and must not be closed.
If the city gate is closed, the city defense array will be activated.
By that time, Nanyue City will become their burial place, one by one.
At the same time, Wu Zejiu was rushing over.
The tens of thousands of troops of Wu State have already seen the top of the city.
"Charge! Charge forward regardless of the consequences!"
Wu Zejiu shouted loudly and took the lead to rush into the city on his horse.
In an instant, the soldiers of Wu State rushed in like swimming fish.
The streets and alleys of Nanyue City were like two currents colliding with each other, splashing with the flesh and blood of soldiers on both sides.
"How can I let you be so arrogant, you daring boy!"
A cultivator in the Immortal Realm set his sights on Xu Ming, and soon after, two cultivators in the Jade Pu Realm came to help.
The three of them rushed to kill Xu Ming together.
Even though they knew that they were outnumbered three to one and their realm was higher than the other party, it was still quite shameless to do so.
But they also knew they had no choice.
The current war is so chaotic that we don’t know what the situation on the battlefield is.
And this Xu Ming is not just the lover of the current Empress of Wu State.
He holds an important position in the hearts of most of the soldiers of the Wu State.
It can be said that Xu Ming of Wu State has already become a banner in the hearts of most people.
His presence greatly boosted the morale of the Wu State's soldiers.
If they cut off the other party's head and swung it around in Nanyue City for a few rounds, it would definitely make many people despair! But soon, they found out that they were wrong.
Even though he was a cultivator at the Immortal Realm and two cultivators at the Jade Realm were working together to deal with Xu Ming, Xu Ming was not at a disadvantage at all.
Even Xu Ming became more and more courageous as the battle went on.
The spiritual power and martial arts energy emanating from his body became more and more terrifying.
Xu Ming used his martial arts physique as support and the sword in his hand as a means.
With this combination of spear and shield, it seems that Xu Ming is invincible at this moment.
In less than an incense stick of time, the two Jade Raw Material Realm cultivators were all split in half by Xu Ming.
The remaining monk with the Immortal Mirror was shocked. He knew that it was impossible to subdue the opponent, so he turned around and left without any regrets.
In fact, all these monks are like this.
Although when a dynasty has some difficulties, they will stand up.
But in reality, they didn't do much.
If you want them to truly work hard for the dynasty, that is absolutely impossible.
In the dynasties of the world, it seems that those sects are subject to the dynasties.
But in fact, the status of the two is actually similar.
Even the ten great dynasties of the human race have to be polite to some large sects.
This is not to mention some small dynasties, which are simply vassals of the sects.
This is why Xiao Mochen must change the rules of this world.
If you don't change the world.
The dynasty and ordinary people will only become nutrients for the sect.
They simply don't treat the people of this mortal world as human beings.
At this time, the sects and monks in the territory of Wu State were not like the monks in other dynasties.
They have no way out.
All those sects can do is stand by the side of Wu State.
And they must work hard for the Wu Kingdom.
If they don't work hard for the Wu Kingdom, the sect machine they created will be completely wiped out.
Unless they can completely abandon their own sect and be willing to be a casual cultivator, or go to other places to establish a sect.
Otherwise, they will have to live and die together with the Wu State.
And this is why so many sects cannot tolerate the Wu Kingdom.
If the territory of Wu State expanded further, it would cover the entire Central Plains.
Then all the sects in the entire Central Plains will become affiliates of the Wu Kingdom, and if they want to escape, they can only flee to the Northern Wilderness or the Southern Border Demon Kingdom.
But here’s the thing.
In this world today, many good places are taken.
Even if they run over, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so how much development can they achieve?
This battle lasted for a day and a night.
It was not until the evening of the next day that the sounds of fighting gradually disappeared.
It was at this time that the advantages and disadvantages on the battlefield gradually became apparent.
Now in Nanyue City, there are more soldiers from the Wu State standing.
I don’t know how many monks from various sects simply abandoned Nanyue City and fled last night.
Anyway, for them, after escaping, they can just return to their own sect.
Even if it was the emperor of Qi, what could he do?
No matter how angry he was, he could only be angry.
He didn't dare to send troops.
Because other sects will also run away when encountering problems.
We are all grasshoppers in the same boat. We all want to maintain our own interests and will work together to deal with the State of Qi.
At the same time, in the south of Nanyue City.
King Ningnan rode on his horse, holding the reins, looking at everything in front of him with anger and helplessness.
To be honest, if those sect leaders and elders had not evacuated last night, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
But those damn sect leaders and some elders, seeing that the situation was not good and realizing that there was a high possibility that they would die on this battlefield, they all evacuated.
Afterwards, more and more monks from the sects also evacuated.
And when more and more monks leave the battlefield, others will naturally suffer a serious blow.
After all, everyone else has run away, but I'm still fighting here. What does this mean?
In the end, a chain reaction occurred, leading to the current situation, and Nanyue City was handed over to others.
Even at this time, King Ningnan was already thinking, whether what Mr. Xiao of Wu State did was the right thing? After all, monks and dynasties are different.
In the hearts of cultivators, there is only themselves, and at most only their sect.
What is a secular dynasty to them?
It's just a tool.
"My Lord, what should we do now?"
A deputy general shouted softly to the prince, his eyes were bloodshot and his body was covered in blood.
He did not take a single step back during this entire day and night, fighting his way out of a sea of blood.
"Nanyue City can no longer be defended."
King Ningnan shook his head.
"Let's retreat. Otherwise, when they catch up with us, we won't be able to escape."
King Ningnan sighed and reined in his horse to leave Nanyue City.
"Then, Your Majesty, what about the Nanyue City granary? What should we do with it? Should we burn it down?"
"No need."
King Ningnan shook his head.
"Nowadays, there is chaos and war. Not only the people of Wu State need food, but the common people need food even more. Wu State wants to win the hearts of the people, so it will not do anything extreme and leave a way for the common people to survive."
