Chapter 68: Destroying the City (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
A few days later, Lord Mo rushed to the front battlefield under the escort of everyone.
Since Lord Mo was recuperating in the rear, the generals of Beijiang City did not act radically, but instead adopted the strategy of defending the city to delay time.
Previously, Lord Mo was attacked and many masters died. In addition, the destruction of an army of 100,000 dealt a great blow to their morale.
Now that Lord Mo has reappeared, the generals have found their backbone again, and they are all as energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They didn't know that although Lord Mo had recovered from his injuries, he couldn't use his cultivation easily.
But it doesn’t matter, because this time Lord Mo brought powerful helpers.
"Do you know who this person next to me is?" Lord Mo introduced Lai Yang to everyone, with a confident and proud look on his face, "He is the Divine Sword General of my Northern Frontier City. A month ago, he broke into the Fallen Dragon Mountain alone to rescue me, and then he killed two fifth-grade martial arts masters of the Great Yan Dynasty alone and annihilated more than 10,000 enemy troops."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked and focused their eyes on the face of the young man next to Lord Mo.
"It's him! He looks like he's less than 30 years old, how could he have such terrifying strength? How did he cultivate?"
"At that time, the prince was ambushed by Wan Yunxiang, the dog thief. We wanted to rescue him but were held back by the army of the Great Yan court and could not escape. Not long after, the news of the death of Wan Yunxiang and Wei Zhongzheng spread in the martial arts world. It was said that this person rescued the prince and killed two martial arts masters of the Great Yan. He also killed tens of thousands of troops alone, shocking countless martial arts masters and making them dare not move. It can be said that the news was so incredible. I didn't expect to see him today, and he was so young. The general is really young and promising."
Although everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it, they had to believe Lord Mo's words.
Moreover, they had also found out that the person who killed Wan Yunxiang and others at Fallen Dragon Mountain a month ago was a young man who looked to be less than 30 years old.
The man was carrying a person on his back, holding a sword in his hand, killing people in chaos. Even a fifth-grade martial arts grandmaster was no match for him. It was extremely terrifying.
"May I ask General Shenjian, has he reached the fourth rank?" One person couldn't help but ask while clasping his fists.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Lai Yang.
They thought that since the other party could easily kill Da Yan's two fifth-grade martial arts grandmasters, he must have entered the fourth-grade realm.
However, the next moment Lai Yang shook his head and slowly said, "I am not a fourth-grade cultivator. Strictly speaking, I should still be a fifth-grade cultivator, but my body is a little bit stronger than an ordinary fifth-grade cultivator."
A little bit stronger?
Just a little bit stronger and he could easily kill two great masters of Da Yan? You are kidding.
I'm afraid it's not just a little bit stronger, but billions of times stronger.
Everyone thought that Lai Yang was just being modest. Besides, he was brought by Lord Mo and seemed to be trusted by him, so they did not pursue the matter further.
At this time, Lord Mo waved his hand and said, "Okay, now that we know each other, let's discuss the next plan."
"Now that Wan Yunxiang and Wei Zhongzheng are dead, two of the four great masters of the Great Yan Dynasty are gone. The only top masters left are the Great Yan Emperor Yan Chengtian and the commander of Yan Chengtian's secret guards. We now rely on the general to take action, so we don't have to be afraid of them. In addition, the Great Yan Dynasty has lost two top fighters at once, and its vitality has been greatly damaged. Yan Chengtian will probably not dare to act rashly in the short term. We must take this opportunity to unite all the forces that can be united and attack the Great Yan Imperial City in one fell swoop."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a look of surprise. One general looked worried and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too hasty? Wasn't our initial plan to suppress and control the surrounding cities first, and then slowly move forward after our power grew?"
Lord Mo remained calm and turned to look at the general who had spoken: "Things are different now. Previously, there were four great masters in the Great Yan Imperial City. If we had rashly attacked the Imperial City, we would have been in danger of being wiped out. But now that the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, Wan Yunxiang, and the chief steward of the Imperial Palace, Wei Zhongzheng, are dead, it is a great time for us to attack. Once the Great Yan Dynasty recovers, the advantage that General Lai has gained for us will be lost."
"When the time comes, Yan Chengtian will be left to us to deal with. You just need to block the rest of the army for me and prevent them from causing any harm."
Lord Mo had a firm attitude, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even getting angry.
The soldiers looked at each other. Seeing that Lord Mo had made up his mind, they immediately stood up, bowed and said, "We will follow your orders, my Lord."
Lai Yang on the side did not speak. He knew why Lord Mo was so anxious, because he only had one year left.
If he fails to capture the Great Yan Imperial City within a year, his death will be imminent.
Once he falls, it will be hard to say whether Beijiang City will have a chance to recover.
Once the Great Yan Dynasty suppresses all rebellious forces, Beijiang City will be destroyed.
Afterwards, everyone discussed the plan to attack the Great Yan Imperial City. Lai Yang listened silently on the side without any intention of intervening.
It's okay to let him swing a sword and kill people, but it's better not to let him march, fight, and formulate strategies.
A strong murderous aura was vaguely emanating from everyone present. They were all veterans of the battlefield who had experienced life and death, and were much more reliable than him.
The discussion lasted for a whole day and night.
The next day.
Lord Mo asked his confidant to deliver a letter to another king of a different surname. He also had many backup plans that he had not planned to use immediately, but now they had to be used.
In order to break into the city as quickly as possible and enter the Dayan Imperial City.
A month later, Lord Mo successfully received a reply from another king of a different surname, and the other party's answer did not disappoint him.
A smile appeared on Lord Mo's face, and he immediately ordered the army to attack the Great Yan Imperial City.
This time, thanks to Lai Yang's joining, those sects in the martial arts world were frightened and no longer dared to intervene in the battle at will.
Even though Yan Chengtian promised huge benefits, not many martial arts masters dared to stop the attack of Lord Mo's army.
Just kidding, although benefits are tempting, you have to have your life to get them.
Even a fifth-grade martial arts grandmaster was killed by that man with a single sword. There was really no need for them to lose their lives for a little bit of benefit.
It would be fine if they didn't meet, but once they did, with that person's strength and sword, they would be dead.
Not only that, on the contrary, because of the battle at Fallen Dragon Mountain, many large and small sects in the martial arts world began to look favorably upon Lord Mo's rebel army, and have even secretly sent people to contact them to provide assistance to the army.
Once Lord Mo succeeds in his rebellion, they will be able to gain a lot of benefits from it. If it’s too late, they won’t even be able to get a share of the benefits.
A few days later, looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Lai Yang silently drew his sword and stepped forward.
Qingxiao hummed softly, and then the majestic sword energy gathered and transformed into a ten-foot giant sword.
Lai Yang swung his sword, and the heavy city gate in front of him collapsed, actually being split in half by the terrifying sword energy.
This scene shocked and frightened countless people.
"This... this... breaking the city gate with one sword, is this something a mortal can do?"
Seeing this, Lord Mo was overjoyed, and then he waved his hand and shouted: "The city gate has been broken, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
"kill!!!"
