The millions of troops marching westward left Yongcheng and headed west quickly.
Wherever they passed, the entire Guannan Road had already learned the news that Fan Zongzhang, the military governor of Guannan, had been killed by the emperor, and they immediately watched the news.
What surprised the Western Expeditionary Army even more was that some of the pass towns they passed through were already badly damaged.
Several magnificent passes that were originally famous all over the world have turned into dead cities covered with dense forests of bones or bloody vermilion fruits!
Obviously, these are all the work of those demons from outside the world.
Most of the surviving people were in panic all day long, frightened by the cruel methods of the demon.
After hearing that the emperor had personally used himself as bait to fight against the monsters alone, these survivors immediately kowtowed in the direction of the capital, begging the emperor who they had never met to avenge them.
It's just that there are still only a few such destroyed towns. A few days later, the million-strong army has left Guannan Road and entered the nearby Longyou Road. They encountered a hard nut to crack - one of the Nine and Ten Clan Licheng, where the Wang family is located!
Millions of troops arrived under Licheng one after another, with people neighing and horses roaring, and there was a lot of noise.
Ji Yunpeng squinted his eyes and looked at the tall city walls of Licheng in front of him. He saw that Licheng was only slightly weaker than the capital in terms of scale and city defense.
Among the nine surnames and ten surnames, there are two surnames: the Licheng Wang family and the Nanling Wang family. Among them, the Licheng Wang family is the most powerful.
This Licheng city has been managed by the Wang family of Licheng for at least four hundred years. It can be called an iron wall.
Even during the Ling Emperor's Rebellion, Longyou Dao Licheng was a rare peaceful place.
This shows the methods of Licheng Wang family.
For the arrival of these millions of Western Expedition troops, the Wang family in Licheng had already been prepared.
After all, millions of troops are moving forward, no matter how fast they try, they can't get anywhere fast. It would be strange if the Nine Surnames and Ten Clan and the vassal towns all over the world haven't responded yet.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops supported by vassal towns from various places had already gathered in Licheng. There were also 50,000 elite soldiers in the three Uburg Walled Cities not far away, making a total of 800,000 elite soldiers.
The three Uburg Walled Cities not far from Licheng are surrounded by stars, and they are horns with each other. This is why Licheng has been able to stand for hundreds of years and has never been attacked.
Once a powerful enemy comes to attack Licheng, the reinforcements from the three Uburg Walled Cities can immediately go out to rescue them and attack the enemy's side.
After the enemy army is attracted, the main force in Licheng can directly leave the city to cover up the enemy, and the enemy army will inevitably be defeated.
On top of the city wall, Wang Anye, the Jiedu envoy of Longyou Road and the current head of the Wang family in Licheng, looked at the millions of troops gradually gathering below with a stern look on his face.
Three martial saints led a million-strong coalition army to conquer Emperor Shunlong's puppet court and failed. A million-strong coalition army surrendered, and then Yongcheng fell. He already knew these things very well.
Even a few days ago, he had already known about Emperor Shunlong being chased by the Immortal from Heaven and escaping in the air.
Facing the million-strong Western Expedition Army in front of him, commanded by Ji Yunpeng and others, he did not feel panic at all.
The only person these rebels can rely on is Emperor Shunlong, and now the pseudo-emperor Li Yun has been hunted down by a group of immortals. His life and death are uncertain. Naturally, this so-called million-strong Western Expedition army is also out of reach.
And as far as he knew, the nine surnames and ten families in the Xijing court, including the Licheng Wang family, had already sent their own immortals to worship and contact the immortals who descended from the outside world.
These worshipers are also legendary immortal cultivators. Many of them are called semi-immortals, and their methods are indeed superb.
When they get in touch with those heavenly immortals, everyone will become a family. Under the same hatred and hatred, the false emperor Li Yun will only die.
Anyway, the nine surnames and ten clans have always cooperated with the strong and the immortals descended from the sky. Wouldn't it be better?
As for the millions of Western Expedition troops below, it would be impossible for them to break through Licheng within ten or eight years.
Over the past hundreds of years, countless enemy armies have returned defeated under Licheng City, including one from the so-called Western Expeditionary Army.
"City Lord, this false emperor Li Yun is really ridiculous. He can't protect himself anymore, yet he still dares to launch a western expedition. These soldiers under him are a bit foolish and loyal."
A counselor beside him shook the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile.
Another counselor looked mocking and said:
"The guards just went to the Zhijun to pay it back. Most of his so-called Western Expeditionary Army were from the Thirty-sixth Route Allied Forces that marched eastward a few days ago. I don't know what magic trick Li Yun used to actually conquer these It is really hateful to recruit soldiers."
Wang Anye said calmly:
"These people who betray the Lord and seek glory will be killed when the rebel army is defeated, so as not to disgrace the name of my nine surnames and ten clans."
In his opinion, without Li Yun's control, the so-called Western Expeditionary Army would definitely be defeated by Licheng!
Everything is just a matter of time.
After a pause, Wang Anye continued:
"Send the message to the three Wu forts and guard the city gates. First, wait for a month to exhaust the vigor of the Western Expeditionary Army. Then ask the soldiers guarding the city to prepare rolling stones and gold juice. This thief As long as the army dares to attack the city, they must pay for it with their lives."
All the surrounding generals immediately responded.
Wang Anye raised his lips slightly, glanced at the people around him, and said:
"I'm going to listen to music. Don't bother me with ordinary military matters."
In his view, it was simply impossible for the so-called Western Expeditionary Army to break through the impregnable Licheng.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the movements of Ji Yunpeng and others below, and he couldn't help but curiously said:
"What is that? A siege tree?"
In the military formation below, Ji Yunpeng and other generals, each armed with an artillery piece, were lined up under the wall of Licheng with indifferent expressions.
Behind them, dozens of artillery pieces took off their coats and aimed at Licheng in front of them.
The skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry in the capital worked overtime every day to develop artillery according to the emperor's ideas. At this time, it was already the second generation of artillery equipped with rifling and shells.
Then, under Wang Anye's puzzled eyes, the people below lit the fuse of the artillery.
…
"catch him!"
"Don't let him escape!"
"The Secret Technique of Bone Forest!"
"Blood Spirit Transport!"
"Yin Thunder Blooming Lotus Technique!"
To the north of Wu Kingdom, in a vast desert, dozens of streams of light were like meteors, constantly flying through the air, and occasionally some bright spells shone.
It was the dozens of cultivators from the Luan Sword Immortal Alliance who came to the wilderness to hunt Li Yun.
And at the front of the hunting team, the glistening white figure is none other than Li Yun with a flying sword!
Several days have passed since he left Yongcheng. He has been escaping everywhere, occasionally turning around to fight with his pursuers or releasing a few spells.
It's just that there are too many people on the other side, and many of them have the inherited trump cards of the sect's predecessors, and have the ultimate moves of the foundation building stage and the golden elixir stage, so that although Li Yun often injures the pursuers behind him, it is difficult for him to attack them. Complete annihilation.
On the contrary, he himself suffered a lot of injuries due to his confrontation with the pursuers. He fell into the siege several times.
But what made these pursuers headed by Yue Han furious was that Li Yun was clearly in the wilderness where his spiritual energy was exhausted, and he was constantly being hunted down. However, his spiritual energy in his body had not been exhausted, but had gradually become stronger. There is room to spare!
At this time, they had been led into the desert by Li Yun for a full day. At the beginning, they could still find some villages and suck some raw blood to temporarily restore their spiritual power. After entering the depths of the desert, there was not even a shadow of a ghost within a hundred miles. The spiritual energy in these pursuers is also declining rapidly.
And this Li Yun was obviously leading them in circles!
Fortunately, everyone is considered an elite disciple among the six immortal sects and has quickly found a way to defeat the enemy.
Treat others in their own way!
Li Yun's sword light escaped and passed by a withered poplar forest that he had passed yesterday.
At this moment, the dead trees in the poplar forest suddenly turned into pieces of dense white bones, forming a gloomy forest of bones, releasing a violent suction force that sucked Li Yun's figure suddenly.
It's now!
Yue Han looked ferocious and waved the blood sword in his hand. In front of him, Bai Sheng from the Bone Forest Immortal Sect had already rushed to Li Yun. The spiritual power of the ninth level of Qi Refining surged. He held a white bone sword in each hand and pointed towards him. Kill Li Yun!
At the same time, seven or eight escaping lights appeared beside Li Yun, either with weapons, poisonous spells, or strange spells, attacking him from all directions!
Finally caught this big fish!
Everyone's faces were filled with ecstasy. Yue Han, who was farther away, had anxiety flashing in his eyes. Could it be that he was going to miss this opportunity and take advantage of the people in the outer sect?
Suddenly, he saw Li Yun grinning in the circle, and the spiritual power in his body suddenly surged, forming a shock wave that blasted in all directions, blocking one attack after another, leaving everyone around him dumbfounded.
Breakthrough before the battle, reach the ninth level of Qi refining! ?
