Fires were blazing into the sky, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere. At this time, Yang Baitian's eyes were still full of shock. Although he had seen the horror of the thunder god strike before, Yang Baitian was still horrified when he saw the terrifying scene in front of him.
The Jin army was defeated so quickly that Yang Baitian was shocked. At this time, there are no living Jin troops on the battlefield. The number of Jin troops who can escape from this battle will not exceed a thousand, and more Jin troops have died completely.
The process of this battle was very simple, and the simplicity shocked Yaoshi Guo and Yang Baitian. The army lay in ambush at the place where the Jin army must pass when returning north. When the Jin army approached, the ambush troops rushed out and killed the Jin army by surprise.
If that was all, the Jin Army would naturally not be defeated. We must know that the Jin army returning to the north at this time has nearly 100,000 people. This is why the Jin army is so vigorous and not afraid of ambush. Under the attack of one hundred thousand cavalry, no kind of ambush is enough.
But when Thor appeared, when explosives first showed their destructive power in this world. The Jin Army completely collapsed. The terrifying sound that sounded like the arrival of the God of Thunder, the blazing flames, and the terrifying explosive power made the Jin Army instantly frightened.
The power of the explosive was actually not that great, but because no one had ever seen it, the sound and power of the explosion made the Jin Army's horses completely out of control. At this time, Lu Yi's army rushed out, which was a one-sided massacre.
Because they were too shocked, many Jin soldiers did not dare to resist, and knelt on the ground begging the gods for forgiveness. Lu Yi also had no benevolence towards women. Lu Yi did not need prisoners. All living Jin soldiers were executed by Lu Yi's order.
Under Lu Yi's arrangement, the army set up ambushes at all levels. After defeating the Jin army, not many of the Jin army were able to escape. In this battle, Lu Yi almost completely annihilated the Jin State's east-route army. As long as the Jin State's west-route army was destroyed, the Jin State would really not have many fighting soldiers.
Although the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Northern Song Dynasty at this time, because it had just emerged, there were only about 200,000 fighting troops in the country. This time when they went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom dispatched nearly 180,000 troops. If these armies are all annihilated, it will be difficult for the Jin Kingdom to gather much fighting strength in a short period of time.
After annihilating the Jin army, all the wealth looted by the Jin army from the Northern Song Dynasty was advantageous to Lu Yi. You know, this is the wealth accumulated by the Northern Song Dynasty for several generations. With this wealth, Lu Yi's pocket suddenly bulged.
Among the rebellious troops, captured royal members of the Song Dynasty were discovered, including the Second Sect of Qinhui and many concubines in the harem. The sergeants below didn't know what to do with these people, so they could only leave it to Lu Yi to make the decision.
"Kill! But this matter needs to be kept secret. Let's just say that the Jin army can kill them all!" Lu Yi did not hesitate at all. Keeping these people alive is always a disaster, but they cannot be killed blatantly.
In fact, if these people are retained, Cao Cao can use the emperor to control the princes. When the time comes, it will be twice the result with half the effort to recover the Central Plains. However, with absolute strength, there is no need to act like this. If they continue to crush him all the way, now there is no one in the north who can be Lu Yi's opponent. Keeping these people will be a trouble.
Soon the battlefield was cleared, and Lu Yi returned to Zhuozhou with his army and loot. Now that the entire Jin army has been destroyed, and the entire northern Jin Kingdom no longer has any fighting soldiers, Lu Yi will naturally want to completely control the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun at this time.
Under Lu Yi's arrangement, Pharmacist Guo quickly led his army northward. This time Lu Yi wanted to completely occupy the area south of Shanhaiguan and completely block the Kingdom of Jin from the Great Wall. By then, Lu Yi could concentrate on wiping out the Central Plains.
After seeing the power of Thunder God Strike, Yaoshi Guo is now full of confidence. Not to mention that the Kingdom of Jin no longer has many troops, even if the Kingdom of Jin still has military strength, Pharmacist Guo is not afraid at all. The god of thunder struck down and everything was destroyed.
Three days later, news came that Li Er had destroyed the Jin army on the west road. It turned out that Li Er took Lu Yi's military order and ambush the Jin State's West Route Army where it must pass. He used the Thunder God to attack the Jin State's West Route Army unprepared and annihilated all the Jin State's West Route Army in one fell swoop.
At this point, all the Jin troops that went south to attack the Northern Song Dynasty were wiped out by Lu Yi. In the past, the Kingdom of Jin was extremely powerful and arrogant, but after the two armies were wiped out, the Kingdom of Jin has been severely weakened. It is estimated that the number of combatable soldiers in the country does not exceed 50,000.
At this time, the news had not spread. Lu Yi ordered the two armies to march north. In just over half a month, they completely occupied many cities north of the Great Wall. At this time, the Jin Kingdom had received news that the two armies had been destroyed. In panic, they did not dare to go south again.
The Jin Kingdom suffered heavy losses and did not dare to go south again. Before they could figure out why the two armies were completely wiped out, the Kingdom of Jin was like a frightened bird. At this time, Lu Yi and Yang Baitian were playing chess in Zhuozhou City.
Yang Baitian put down a black chess piece, looked at Lu Yi and said: "After this battle, for at least ten years, there will be no possibility of the Jin army going south. The Northern Song Dynasty has been destroyed, and there will be no more troops to fight in the north. At that time, you only need to send troops. Going south, it will be easy to pacify the Central Plains!"
"It's a pity that the time is too short, and the troops are still somewhat insufficient. It is enough to pacify the Central Plains, but it is not enough to pacify the world!" Lu Yi thought for a moment, put down a white chess piece and said.
"It's shocking that you can achieve this in such a short period of time. However, our Holy Cult can help you stabilize the Yanyun area, so just lead your people south!" Yang Baitian said.
Lu Yi nodded without saying anything. Lu Yi naturally knew what Yang Baitian had in mind. After all, Lu Yi's rise was short-lived, and it was not as good as the Demon Sect of the Western Regions that had been operating in the Liao Kingdom for many years. If the Yanyun area is handed over to Yang Baitian, over time, the Yanyun area will inevitably be controlled by the Demon Sect of the Western Regions.
However, Lu Yi was not worried about Yang Baitian's petty thoughts. After seeing the terrifying power of Thunder God Strike, Lu Yi believed that Yang Baitian did not dare to go too far. In the face of absolute strength, some conspiracies and tricks had nowhere to hide. shape.
While Lu Yi was spending time sorting out the Yanyun area, the news that Lu Yi had destroyed the two armies of the Jin Kingdom had spread throughout the world. Previously, King Kang Zhao Gou had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtian Mansion, Nanjing, re-establishing the Song Dynasty.
When Zhao Gou heard the news that the two armies of the Jin Kingdom had been wiped out, he was overjoyed and stopped fleeing south. Instead, they summoned various Qinwang troops in Yingtian Mansion, Nanjing, and showed signs of heading back to Kaifeng.
At this time, there were only some puppet regimes supported by the Jin Kingdom in the entire Central Plains. After hearing the news that the two armies of the Jin Kingdom had been completely destroyed, people were naturally panicked. At this time, Zhao Gou ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and these people petitioned Zhao Gou one after another.
When Zhao Gou saw the rebels surrendering, he was naturally very high-spirited and immediately led his army to Kaifeng Mansion. For a time, the world situation changed drastically, and the Song Dynasty, which had just been overthrown by the Jin Kingdom, was in a state of revival.
Before Lu Yi could pacify the Yanyun area, Zhao Gou's envoys had already arrived at Zhuozhou City. Zhao Gou's purpose was very simple, which was to make Lu Yi the King of Yan and manage the entire Yanyun region. This reward was quite generous.
"Zhao Gou's intention is very clear. He wants us to help him guard the Kingdom of Jin so that he can be his Taiping Emperor in Kaifeng. Unfortunately, Zhao Gou's wishful thinking is doomed to fail!" How could Yang Baitian not know that Lu How could Yi's ambition be stopped by Yan Yun?
However, Lu Yi was not in a hurry, but waited for a month to completely control the Yanyun area. Lu Yi then took Li Er and Guo Yaoshi with an army of 80,000 and marched south.
At this time, Zhao Gou also gathered more than 100,000 troops, but these troops were of mixed quality, and their combat power was seriously insufficient. After hearing the news that Lu Yi was leading his army south, Zhao Gou was in a hurry and could only muster an army of 100,000 to rush to fight.
The Song army was defeated in one blow when facing the Jin army, let alone Lu Yi's tiger and wolf army. Even without Thunder God Strike, Lu Yi could defeat the Song army. Sure enough, the 100,000 Song army was vulnerable to a single blow. Lu Yi fought three battles and defeated them all at a glance.
Facing the Song army, Lu Yi did not massacre and did not use the Thunder God Strike at all. One hundred thousand Song troops were defeated in three battles, but not many people died. Most of the Song troops were captured by Lu Yi.
Although these Song troops are not strong in combat, they are all men of the Han family after all. With a little training, they can still become combatable soldiers. The main reason is that Lu Yi's rise was too short and his troops were seriously insufficient. Capturing these Song troops was the best strategy.
The Song army was retreating steadily, and Lu Yi was about to attack Kaifeng City. However, Yang Baitian came from Yanyun and brought important news to Lu Yi: "The Shenhou Mansion is ready to take action!"
It turned out that Yang Baitian got the news. After the Shenhou Mansion learned that Lu Yi was sending his troops south, he began to contact many martial arts masters. At this time, many martial arts masters had gathered in Shenhou Mansion, preparing to assassinate Lu Yi.
"A bunch of clowns are nothing to be afraid of!" Lu Yi looked indifferent. He was quite disdainful of the Shenhou Mansion's behavior.
"It stands to reason that people in the Jianghu will not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court. However, this time our holy religion is involved, and many martial arts in the Central Plains are enemies of our holy religion, so this is the reason!" Yang Baitian told the reason.
Originally, people in the political arena rarely participated in such matters as changing dynasties. But it was difficult to hide the news that the Western Regions Demonic Cult helped Lu Yi stabilize Yan Yun. Many martial arts in the Central Plains had a blood feud with the Western Regions Demonic Cult, so they naturally would not watch the Western Regions Demonic Cult grow bigger under Lu Yi.
The Shenhou Mansion naturally represents the Song Dynasty court. Under the connection of the Shenhou Mansion, the martial arts community in the Central Plains responded to the call. In fact, it was because of the Demonic Cult in the Western Regions. Otherwise, when Lu Yi conquers the world, won't the Demon Sect of the Western Regions have to overwhelm the Central Plains martial arts?
"It doesn't matter, I expected today's situation from the beginning!" When conquering the Demon Sect of the Western Regions, Lu Yi also weighed the pros and cons. Naturally, he knew the blood feud between the Demon Sect of the Western Regions and the martial arts of the Central Plains.
"There are many masters coming this time, except for Zhuge, who will definitely take action. Zen Master Jingneng from Shaolin Temple, the leader of the Beggar Clan, the leader of the Huashan Sect, and many other masters will come! These people are very powerful and should not be underestimated!" Yang Baitian said with a solemn expression.
"That's interesting, isn't it?" Lu Yi smiled, without any worry on his face.
"Actually, no matter how many masters there are in the army, it is impossible to kill you!" Yang Baitian said.
"No! This time I want to have a good meeting with the top martial arts masters from the Central Plains!"
