The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 443: The soldiers approach the city
Just as Liu Catchhead and the others left the restaurant, planning to go back and think of a way to find a way out. At the same moment, the governor's yamen in the city also gathered two people with the most distinguished status and power in Xijiang Province.
Li Cheng, the governor of Xijiang Province, is a Tier 6 powerhouse, and he is also a powerhouse with a very special legal system.
According to Li Cheng's claim, he got the inheritance of a predecessor, and then went a long way in the path of immortality, and now he is even more famous, and he has a place in the forest of the strong in the whole world.
"Sir Xu, the enemy is under pressure, what shall I do?" Li Cheng, the governor-general, spoke first.
Although Li Cheng is the governor in charge of the military, he is devoted to training and does not manage any trivial affairs in the military. He has all given the promise as the governor.
The governor Xu Ying glanced at Li Cheng, and he was not surprised at his question. This crazy man obsessed with cultivation, if the court had not given too much treatment, it was an indispensable resource in his cultivation, I'm afraid Li Chengcheng will not take over the job of the Governor.
"Now that the enemy has captured two state capitals in our province, the pioneers of 30,000 soldiers are even closer to the city, and the situation is urgent. However, there are only 20,000 defenders in Binh Duong City. The strength is too weak. A safe solution." Governor Xu said with a tight face.
According to the Ming Dynasty's practice, the standing army in a province is 50,000, and the frontier army in each region can be doubled, or several times.
As for local security and defense, a militia force like the Guards Army is in charge of it. Its combat power is too great to use, and it is even barely able to defend the city.
This time, in order to defend against Zhong Yu’s rebel attack, 30,000 standing troops were stationed in Huaiqing Mansion, which is adjacent to Dongjiang Province, to defend the enemy from outside the country.
But for some reason, the 30,000 army even blocked the enemy for a while, spreading the news to prevent the rear warning from being able to do so, silently let the 30,000 army come outside Pingyang City, directly threatening the entire Xijiang The political center of the province.
According to Xu Ying's past experience, a large army has about 30,000 vanguards, so its scale is often more than 100,000 or even more.
With such a strong military strength, coupled with a powerful formation, even with Li Cheng's sixth-order cultivation base, it can't be resisted. Not to mention the leader of the rebel army in the rumors, but he personally saw the Demon King of Huangshan.
As the Huangshan Demon King who can make trouble for a while, he has no need to say more about his own cultivation. Li Cheng himself has dealt with him several times. During the fight, faintly falling under the wind, the leader of the rebel army who was able to kill the Huangshan Demon King in the confrontation was really anxious to die.
"Never mind, the enemy army is strong, I'll wait for help from neighboring states and provinces!" Li Cheng's complexion moved slightly, with the intention of struggling, but in the end he sighed and made a decision to ask for help.
"Very good, it is safe for the adults to think about it, so let's do it for my brother." The governor Xu Ying was certain in his heart, and quickly spoke in agreement.
As a civilian, Xu Ying has always been uninterested in fighting, killing, and killing. Now if he doesn’t deal with it, his position and life may be insecure, so he doesn’t care about war issues. Woolen cloth.
Now seeing that he persuaded Li Cheng, who was in charge of the war, to stay honestly in the city to assist in the defense, he knew that his **** seat had been preserved for the most part, and the next step was to retreat the enemy.
The messenger for help from Xijiang Province was dispatched soon, and there were a total of four groups of people.
Three of them were asking for help from the provinces surrounding Xijiang Province, and the other was going straight to the imperial capital, asking the emperor for help from the Central Army.
What makes the whole Xijiang Province unexpected is that this time, the rebels they expected not only attacked Xijiang Province, but also successively attacked Huaixi Province, which is connected to it and also adjacent to Dongjiang Province. , Huaidong Province.
Each region of these two provinces has an army of more than 100,000. In addition to the main attack direction of Xijiang Province, they remember that the rebels with only 100,000 troops dispatched a full 400,000 army to attack the court, and each Each soldier has a level 3 or higher cultivation base.
The army was dispatched, with great momentum.
Xijiang Province was directly attacked under the provincial capital. Although the other two provinces are better, the state capitals around the border are occupied, and the provincial capital is also threatened by attack.
3 days later, when Zhong Yu led the following army to Pingyang City, the provincial capital of Xijiang Province was already surrounded by a full 200,000 army, and it was likely to be overthrown at any time.
Boom, drums of war thunder.
Zhong Yu stood alone in the air, without paying attention to countless ways or fear, or admiration, or hatred, looking at him, and shouting directly into the city.
"The Governor of Xijiang Province and the governor are listening. Now you are surrounded. My army is 200,000 soldiers. It is easy to break the small city like you. If you know it, surrender obediently, otherwise there will be no reason to take it back together with the swords and soldiers."
"The rebels are going to be rampant. Although my heart is small, I am strong. Even though the city is small, it is enough to stop you. The war starts today, and you will never stop if you don’t let you run into a bloodshed." Li Cheng, the governor of the city, saw Zhong Yu boasted and immediately fought back and refused to surrender without hesitation.
Although Li Cheng doesn't care much about things in the Ming Dynasty, since he has accepted the worship of the Ming Dynasty, he must do his duty to protect the entire Xijiang Province.
Although the enemy is strong now, Li Cheng's responsibilities cannot be discarded. This is his persistence as a warrior.
"Jumping beam clown, stubborn, since you want to die, then I will fulfill you!" Zhong Yu's expression was angry, and he was dissatisfied with these people's ignorance, so he gave up his plan to persuade him to surrender. Ruthless.
With a move, he moved towards Li Cheng in the city, but before he got close ~IndoMTL.com~, he was stopped by the great defense formation that appeared in the city, making it difficult to get in.
As the capital of a province, Pingyang City’s moat formation is naturally powerful. With full horsepower, even a Tier 7 master would have to spend a lot of hands and feet to break through. I don’t even think about it if I don’t have a few months. think.
Although Zhong Yu's strength is strong, even if he is better than the seventh-order, he will not lose the wind, but he wants to break this formation in an instant, but it is a foolish dream. In the end, he can only stare outside the town.
"Damn it, do you only rely on foreign objects? Then I will break your fluke. The army listened to the order and gave me to break this city." Seeing his own footsteps blocked, Zhong Yu's face was full of unwillingness. Apparently, the army was sent to attack the city.
Although this layer of defense is high, under the siege of a 200,000 army, even if there is an array, the army can also form an array to offset it. Under the interaction, the defensive advantage of the city wall has been greatly reduced.
If it is an all-out attack by an army of 200,000, regardless of loss, it must be possible to see results within 3 days, and the city will inevitably be broken within 10 days.
And for such a little time, Zhong Yu can still afford to wait.
