Chapter 213 Arrival
Luoyang, a thousand-year-old capital,

After years of recuperation, it can be said to be the most prosperous city in the world.

Luoyang enjoyed peace for ten years.

Luoyang achieved amazing results in military, economy, politics, culture and martial arts.

but,

Luoyang is just Luoyang after all.

Luoyang is only a small part of the whole world.

Luoyang is too small. No matter how it develops, it will eventually have its limits.

The quality of the sergeants is the highest in the world's army, but the population limits the number of troops.

A large part of the reason for Luoyang’s peace over the past decade is due to one person.

That is Wang Ming.

Many people witnessed Wang Ming's invincible performance in the battle at Siming Mountain where he killed everyone in his path.

I know very well how terrifying Wang Ming is.

One man can defeat ten thousand troops, which is still their nightmare.

The small rebel kings came here just to deliver food, and those rebel kings who have grown very powerful are unwilling to end up with both sides suffering losses.

In fact, what they feared most was that after taking Luoyang, Yang Guang would become a lost dog.

Luoyang!

In the eyes of various forces, Luoyang is actually a shackle that binds Yang Guang.

Luoyang is a cage.

A cage that can imprison the fierce tiger Yang Guang.

If there is no Luoyang!
Yang Guang ran around everywhere to carry out assassinations!

What a nightmare.

In the battle at Siming Mountain, Wang Ming fought against three great masters alone and remained undefeated.

People who lacked sufficient knowledge once believed that Emperor Yang Guang was the best martial artist in the world.

People like Song Que know Yang Guang's true strength, but they are too embarrassed to explain it!
They indeed failed to defeat Yang Guang who used the magic skills, and came out to say that Yang Guang's martial arts were not very good.

No matter whether the listeners believe it or not, it would be absolutely ungraceful to do so.

So tasteless.

Moreover, people like Song Que had to admit one thing: if Yang Guang was determined to fight them, he would definitely die together with any of them.

Everyone had a consensus that without a top grandmaster to check and balance Yang Guang, there was no need to attack Luoyang.

The only person they care about is Yang Guang.

Kou Zhong and Li Shimin both had the support of the grand master, which made them dare to attack Luoyang.

Moreover, Kou Zhong himself is a grandmaster.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Wang Ming arrived at the top of the city wall of Luoyang.

All one could hear were the sounds of horns outside the city. From afar, one could see flags waving, swords and spears like a forest, and horses galloping back and forth outside Luoyang City.

Li Shimin's army and Kou Zhong's army have already formed a siege on Luoyang City.

Wang Ming was feeling a little bad as he looked at the army below.

In fact, Wang Ming has been waiting all along.

Wait for them to fight first.

Wang Ming hoped that they would attack him first and then come to deal with him.

unfortunately,

Things did not go as Wang Ming had expected.

In Kou Zhong's view, it doesn't matter if he loses the battle for supremacy, but only Li Shimin can win.

So he created this scene.

Yang You looked at the army below, his heart filled with gloom.

The disparity in military strength is too great.

At first glance, there are a sea of ​​heads!

Then he received the report from his subordinates, and his heart sank even more.

Adding up the two sides, there are almost two million enemy troops. (Don’t worry about the number, just write whatever you want!)

Looking back at the soldiers around him, he couldn't help feeling a little desperate.

The entire Luoyang city’s army has only about 200,000 or 300,000 soldiers!
Yang You turned around and asked, "Grandpa Emperor, can we win this battle?"

Wang Ming shook his head and replied, "I don't know."

Yang You became even more depressed when he heard this answer.

Looking at Kou Zhong's flag in the distance, Yang You sighed, "I never thought that a small figure like Kou Zhong would grow to such a level in such a short time. We should have killed them when they were in Luoyang."

Wang Ming glanced at Yang You and said nothing.

Kill Kou Zhong?

Wang Ming wanted to kill Kou Zhong more than once.

There were more than one opportunity to kill Kou Zhong, and there were more than one opportunity to kill Li Shimin.

But Wang Ming had no intention of taking action.

Time and again, Wang Ming deliberately let them go.

Because without Li Shimin, there would be Zhang Shimin and Liu Shimin, which would be meaningless at all.

This is like rolling the dice.

Whether you like it or not, there will be a result.

The troubled times are like a Gu Pan. When the time comes, the strongest king will naturally appear.
At this moment, drums were beating outside the city and the army began to attack.

Wang Ming took one look and sighed in his heart: "Luoyang is destined to be stained with blood today!"

The war broke out instantly.

The catapults below the city kept throwing huge stones onto the city walls, and arrows were flying all over the sky.

People kept falling down and lives were lost.

Wang Ming also shook his head and sighed in his heart: "Life is so fragile. This is not their battlefield, but they are implicated because of the power struggle of a few people. It is true that only when the great power belongs to oneself can we not be controlled by these things!"

Wang Ming stood on the top of the city wall and decided to use his sonic power to kill all the enemy troops outside the city.

Surrender could actually avoid the massacre.

But Wang Ming could not surrender.

Wang Ming is a man who knows right from wrong and good from evil, but his stance is always his first priority when doing things.

Give up power and surrender!

Wang Ming was able to do this because he didn't care about power.

But you can't surrender.

During the past ten years of Wang Ming's practice, he enjoyed the rights brought by Yang Guang's physical body.

right!

Always comes with responsibility.

Yang You has been working hard and without complaint for the past ten years.

The Dugu clan supported the royal family with all their might.

The trust and following of the people in Luoyang city.

These are the reasons why Wang Ming cannot surrender.

If he surrendered, his subordinates would definitely be suppressed and liquidated.

Regardless of whether Li Shimin is the greatest emperor in history, if Wang Ming surrenders Luoyang, the people of Luoyang will suffer huge losses.

The cake is always limited. If some people take more, others will take less.

When dividing the cake, do you think those who followed Li Shimin to conquer the world got more, or did Wang Ming's men get more?
These cakes couldn't have appeared out of thin air, so they must have come from somewhere else.

For example: Dugu Valve.

Never cut into the flesh of those forces that are not your direct descendants.

The soldiers outside the city were also human beings, but Wang Ming still decided to kill them.

Those soldiers were not Wang Ming's soldiers, so their lives were not under Wang Ming's control.

Wang Ming was only responsible for his followers to the best of his ability.

If things are impossible, Wang Ming will run away without hesitation.

Just have a clear conscience.

But just when Wang Ming climbed up to the top of the city wall and was about to use his sonic power to kill the soldiers outside, he felt three powerful consciousnesses locking onto him.

Although they were far apart, his martial arts had reached this level and his vision was extremely sharp.

Wang Ming clearly saw who was locking on to him. After seeing their faces clearly, he felt confused, but then all his doubts were gone.

Wang Ming knew those three people.

Wang Ming saw it when they were fighting for the Heshi Bi.

They are Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan.

It has been many years since they fought for the He's Bi, and their strength has also reached the level of grandmaster.

And he is not just an ordinary grandmaster, but a top-notch grandmaster.

Otherwise, Wang Ming would not have felt such a sense of crisis.

Of course, there are more than just the three of them who are targeting Wang Ming, there are also some experts.

Such as: Fan Qinghui, Hou Xibai, Ba Fenghan.

Carefully feeling the pressure they exuded, Wang Ming knew that they had also entered the realm of Grand Master.

But there are also strong and weak grandmasters, and there is no sense of threat from killing them.

Wang Ming also complained in his heart, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan are worthy of being the protagonists!

It is not surprising that Fan Qing Huineng has become a grandmaster. He practiced the best skills, enjoyed various resources of Cihang Jingzhai for many years, and then used his age to get to where he is today.

Very normal.

Hou Xibai and Ba Fenghan followed the protagonist and unknowingly reached this level.

As expected, the protagonist is really good at cheating!

Wang Ming didn't care about their breath lock, and continued to use his true energy as usual, emitting sonic waves towards the outside of the city.

"Roar-------"

In an instant,
Outside the city, people were killed and fell one after another.

Suddenly, the soldiers on the city wall cheered. They had all practiced martial arts.

Naturally, everyone was extremely shocked at the record of Wang Ming knocking down nearly a thousand people with just one move.

In their eyes, Wang Ming was simply a god on earth at this time.

Roar!
Roar!
The effect was very good. At this time, the courage of the soldiers below gradually disappeared, and they no longer had the previous momentum.

But Wang Ming stopped.

He did not activate the sonic power again.

It’s not that Wang Ming couldn’t continue, but that Wang Ming found something wrong.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Shi Feixuan showed no signs of taking action and allowed Wang Ming to kill their men.

Dugu Feng walked over to Wang Ming and asked, "Master, why don't you continue?"

Wang Ming glanced at Dugu Feng and did not reply immediately, but was in deep thought.

Dugu Feng was formally accepted as a disciple by Wang Ming a few years ago.

Yang You suddenly said, "I understand. They want to use the lives of these ordinary soldiers to consume Grandpa Huang's true energy, and then launch a thunder attack on Grandpa Huang when Grandpa Huang's true energy is insufficient."

Dugu Feng was also shocked when he heard this, and said faintly: "They are really cruel enough."

This is a martial arts world, not a historical world.

Although they were at the foot of the city, they could fly up using Qinggong. (Let me tell you one thing, the wall of Luoyang City in the original novel was thirty feet high).

Don't doubt it, when Xu Ziling was still a congenital being, he could jump off a 30-meter cliff and remain safe and sound.

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "I am not afraid of Xu Ziling and the other three coming. It's mainly the people behind them..."

Dugu Feng said thoughtfully: "Master, do you mean Ning Daoqi and Song Que?"

Wang Ming sighed and said, "The next battle will depend on you all. I must retain my strength, otherwise if Ning Daoqi and his men come to kill you, no one will be able to stop you."

Yang You's expression became more serious when he heard this, and he said seriously, "Grandpa Emperor, rest assured, we will guard it well."

Wang Ming nodded and went to the back.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On the battlefield below,

Kou Zhong said with great joy: "Xu Xingzhi's strategy is indeed effective."

Xu Ziling said slowly: "The most feared thing in Luoyang is the sonic power of the tyrant Yang Guang. Now that Yang Guang doesn't dare to use it, it's really a good thing."

Shi Feixuan sighed: "Mr. Xu is indeed a great talent. His strategy can greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers."

Xu Ziling also nodded and said, "As expected, Yang Guang would suspect that we want to kill him by force when his true energy is greatly damaged, so that he dare not use the sonic power."

Kou Zhong said loudly: "That sonic power is really good. Although it can't cause much damage to us, its efficiency in killing enemies on such a large scale is indeed extraordinary."

Shi Feixuan sighed and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Xu's plan this time, I don't know how many people would have died before we could capture this city."

Kou Zhong also nodded and said nothing. After all, Shi Feixuan was not his person, and now she was just a cooperation between them.

This time the cooperation attacked Luoyang,
They actually still wanted to kill Yang Guang.

Therefore, many grand masters were mobilized at this time.

On the side of the Young Marshal’s army: Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Hou Xibai, and Ba Fenghan.

On Li Shimin's side: Liaokong, Shi Feixuan, Fan Qinghui, Dixin Zunzhe, Master Jiaxiang, Master Daoxin, and Master Zhihui.

The four monks behind are not simple people. They are the four great holy monks of Buddhism.

They once joined forces to hunt down the evil king Shi Zhixuan.

They came here to successfully get rid of the tyrant Yang Guang.

Although Kou Zhong and Li Shimin agreed to jointly capture Luoyang City and then fight a decisive battle.

But they were not fools, they just wanted to kill Yang Guang, the uncontrollable person, first.

As long as the threat of Yang Guang is eliminated, they will go to war regardless of whether Luoyang City is taken or not.

So at this time Li Shimin was not even in the coalition tent, and his army was under the command of Li Jing.

Li Shimin is not Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong possessed the strength of a grandmaster, which gave him the courage to come to the appointment.

It's not that Kou Zhong is arrogant. Among this group of Buddhist masters, except for Shi Feixuan, no one can be a match for the four of him in a one-on-one fight.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After Wang Ming stopped using sonic power to blast the enemy troops on a large scale,
The next attack began again.

The shouts of killing shook the sky.

Soldiers on both sides were fighting with all their might.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the soldiers in Luoyang City are definitely stronger.

Because Wang Ming is so rich, these soldiers are very powerful.

Luoyang City has been the world's trade center in recent years and has collected a lot of commercial taxes.

There is also money from selling grain.

There is a lot of grain in Luoyang City, and it is exported continuously.

Originally, the rebel kings of this era did not have to worry about food, but after Wang Ming arrived, they began to worry about food.

Wang Ming’s first order in Luoyang was to abandon all territories outside Luoyang and bring all the food here.

As a result, these rebel kings had no ready-made food, and their lives became very hard!

It would be too late to grow it myself, so I had to buy it.

But the only place in the world that has surplus grain to sell is Wang Ming.

then,

In order to obtain food, these rebel kings sent a steady supply of supplies into Luoyang.

Wang Ming is not Yang Guang.

Yang Guang liked to build palaces and do all kinds of big things.

Wang Ming doesn't know how to make anything else except medicinal herbs, so he has a lot of money.

So Wang Ming was bored and started to promote culture and martial arts...

These soldiers have all practiced martial arts.

There are quite a few people in the acquired realm in the army, but there are only a few hundred people in the innate realm.

Wang Ming was actually not very satisfied with this number. There were only a few hundred innates in an army of two or three hundred thousand. It was too few.

Wang Ming invested a lot of resources.

The quality of these soldiers is certainly strong, but the disparity in strength is still a bit severe.

It is extremely difficult for them to defend their status quo.
