The scorching sun goes westward and borders the south city.
The army pressed forward, and huge stones hit the city wall like meteors one after another, leaving the city in disrepair full of holes.
The corruption of the great merchants was infinitely magnified during the war.
Li Ziye stood in front of the Mobei army, quietly watching the city being destroyed and witnessing this human tragedy with his own eyes.
The aging of the city, the disparity in military strength, the gap between generals, and even the war equipment that Dashang was once proud of have now been completely crushed by the Mobei Eight Tribes. Under the research of a large number of craftsmen, the Mobei Eight Tribes have achieved The complete disassembly and assembly of catapults, arrow towers, and siege engines minimize the problem of difficult transportation of war equipment.
This is also the reason why Li Ziye is unwilling to bring gunpowder into this world.
Once gunpowder becomes popular, the place where gunpowder appears most will definitely not be fireworks, but on the battlefield.
"boom!"
Finally, when the sun set and the waning moon rose in the east, the city was riddled with holes and was knocked open by a huge siege truck. Inside the city, Tantai Jingyue, who was covered in blood, and the remaining three great practitioners of the Five Realms stood. There and around, countless soldiers fell in a pool of blood, which was shocking.
Among the five great cultivators of the Five Realms, one died and one was seriously injured. The other two were also stained red to some extent. Only Tantai Jingyue, protected by the Immortal Monument, remained unscathed.
Under attack from both inside and outside by the great cultivators of the Five Realms and the Mobei army, Binan City was destroyed and the killing officially began.
The Mobei cavalry poured into the city like a torrent and quickly defeated the retreating defenders. From city defense battles, position battles, to street battles, the Dashang defenders were not unyielding. However, under the huge power gap, all resistance It's all in vain.
Li Ziye stood in the city, looking at the flames of war all over the city, with anger pulsing deep in his eyes.
History repeats itself again.
In the same era, other people's war equipment and military literacy were all improving, but only Dashang not only failed to make progress, but was actually regressing.
"Are you angry? Do you feel powerless?"
At this time, Tantai Jingyue stepped forward and asked indifferently, "Can you alone change a terminally ill Central Plains dynasty?"
"When will we leave?"
Li Ziye didn't answer, changed the topic and asked.
"Tomorrow morning."
Tantai Jingyue responded, "I originally thought it would take at least two days to capture Binan City, but I didn't expect that even one day was not used up. It just so happened that we saved time and we left early."
"good!"
Li Ziye responded, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he paused and reminded, "The cold winter is coming. If you kill all the people, the human race will be unable to fight against the demon race in the future, so please show mercy."
"rest assured."
Tantai Jingyue said calmly, "As long as we don't attack the city, we are not interested in the old, young, women and children. We will leave them all to you."
Li Ziye fell silent after hearing this. After a moment, he nodded and turned to leave without saying another word.
Not far away, Lord Bai Di dismounted from his horse, stepped forward, glanced at someone who was leaving, and said, "After all, in his heart, he still has some expectations for this Central Plains dynasty."
Having said this, Lord Bai Di turned around and said calmly, "I will go and chat with him for a few words."
After saying that, Lord Bai Di walked towards the young man in front.
At night, on the battered city tower, two figures sat side by side, looking at the vast Central Plains.
Both of them turned their backs to the city in a tacit understanding, and neither of them looked at the war and killings behind them.
"Boy, do you know what my childhood dream was?" Lord Bai Di asked after sitting quietly for a long time.
"have no idea."
Li Ziye shook his head and responded.
"Pull down the entire grassland for the tribesmen to graze."
Lord Bai Di said softly, "This should also be the dream of every grassland person. It's a pity that we will never have this opportunity again."
"The moon is the brightness of my hometown." Li Ziye looked up at the moon in the sky and sighed.
"good."
Lord Bai Di nodded and responded, "If Mobei had not been covered in ice and snow and was no longer suitable for our tribe to live in, we, the Eight Tribes of Mobei, would never have moved south. Although the Central Plains is rich, it is not suitable for us. The grassland is not suitable for us. , is our home, but it is useless to say anything now, survival is the only thing we have to consider now."
"Living is not easy."
Li Ziye said with a complicated expression, "It's the same in Mobei, and it's the same in the Central Plains."
"No matter what, this is a fight within the human race. Boy, I heard from Tantai Heavenly Girl that the Dashang Palace is creating monsters."
Lord Bai Di said in a deep voice, "This is a disaster that can destroy the entire human race. What is the Shang Emperor of your Fengtian Palace thinking?"
"Those in high positions think and need nothing more than two things: consolidating power and pursuing immortality."
Li Ziye said coldly, "Shang Huang, the purpose of attacking the Li family is to consolidate power and create an immortal underworld. It may have the same purpose, but the greatest ambition should be immortality."
"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant."
Lord Bai Di sighed, "It is tempting to live forever, but what's the point of becoming a monster like a walking corpse?"
"Emperors throughout the ages have been unusually persistent in their pursuit of immortality. Do you have it, Your Majesty?" Li Ziye turned around and asked.
"I?"
Lord Bai Di looked startled after hearing the former question, and then he couldn't help laughing and responded, "Do you think I am an idiot? Human life is not short enough, so why should I chase after those illusory things?" Things, trees may wither and flourish, the moon waxes and wanes, and people should have joys and sorrows. I have spent my whole life fighting for my tribe and bleeding for my family, which is quite tiring, so I don’t want to live forever.”
"Right."
Li Ziye nodded, with a subtle smile on his face.
On the tower, the two chatted all night, as if they had heard nothing about the war behind them.
In the city, the people's shrill cries for help, the ferocious laughter of the Mobei soldiers, and the desperate roars of the Dashang defenders echoed all night long.
At dawn, as the sun rises in the east, all kinds of noisy sounds in Binan City gradually dissipate, indicating that this killing spree is coming to an end.
The breeze blew slowly, and behind the two of them, Tantai Jingyue, half-stained with blood, stepped forward and said, "Let's go."
Li Ziye noticed the movement behind him, stood up, and asked, "Don't you change your clothes?"
"No need."
Tantai Jingyue shook his head and replied, "It's not too late to change when we get to Nanling."
"All right."
Li Ziye responded, turned around and walked towards the city.
Tantai Jingyue followed up and left together.
As soon as the two left Binan City, Li Ziye glanced at the woman beside him, thought for a moment, and asked, "Goddess, you are so smart and powerful, do you also desire immortality?"
When Tantai Jingyue heard this boring and idiotic question, she frowned slightly. After a moment, she calmly uttered one word: "Get out!"
