Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 159 Attention from all parties
Lu Ming launched an attack on the fortress of Langya Prefecture. Once he breaks through this pass, the ten prefectures of Langya King will be a piece of cake for him.

"Thump thump!" Armed with shields and spears, the heavily armored warriors of the Wuzu Battalion began to advance.

"Whoa!"

Arrows flew from the city wall.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

When it struck the shield, it made a crisp sound and sparks flew up.

Although it caused some trouble for the infantry, it did not harm them in the slightest.

A moment later, Lu Ming's crossbowmen also began to unleash their power.

"Bang! Bang!" A barrage of crossbow bolts pierced the sky.

As they crashed onto the city wall, the archers immediately took cover behind the battlements.

Those who couldn't dodge in time were instantly pierced through the body by crossbow bolts.

Crimson blood flowed down from the city wall.

For a time, they were suppressed by the crossbowmen of the Marquis of Zhige's mansion and unable to fight back.

Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Wuzu Battalion marched faster and faster.

Their steps were heavy, yet very hurried.

When the first rank of soldiers approached the city wall.

"Bang!" He stomped his foot on the ground.

The next moment, his body shot into the sky, leaping over the tens of meters of city wall in one bound.

The rebels on the city wall raised their spears to try and stop them.

But the soldiers of the Wuzu Battalion seemed to have been prepared all along.

The large shield swept forward.

"Crack!" The sound of brains splattering rang out.

The massive shields not only shattered the rebels' weapons but also smashed their heads.

After landing, they immediately began to fight in all directions.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Zhang Mu led his cavalry and charged towards the city gate.

The dark mass resembled a giant wave, with black mist swirling within the cavalry ranks.

Sparks flew from beneath my feet.

When we approached the city gate.

Behind Zhang Mu was a captain who held a chain hammer. He was burly and his cultivation had reached the Purple Mansion level. His body was wrapped in chains.

"Clang!" At this moment, he shook the weapon in his palm.

The hammerhead slammed into the city gate like a shooting star.

Extremely fast.

"boom!"

The city gate, which was at least two feet thick, was shattered into pieces by this single blow.

The rebel soldiers hiding behind the city gate were instantly killed by the debris.

Thick, sticky blood covered the entire city gate.

The ground was covered with severed limbs.

The Ironclad Cavalry charged into the battlefield first.

With a swing of the sword, the rebel soldiers who charged from both sides were all killed with a single blow.

A cold glint appeared in the eyes of a Kaiyang Sect master cultivator on the city wall.

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly and flew into the sky.

A flying sword was spat out of his mouth, instantly transforming into a giant sword thousands of feet long, which danced in the air.

The sharp energy pierced the air, shattering the clouds in the sky.

As it plummeted downwards, if this attack landed, the tens of thousands of soldiers charging ahead would likely be annihilated.

"Ding!"

But at that moment, a blood-red throwing knife shot into the sky.

It crashed into the flying sword overhead.

As it flew, a blood-red mist billowed out, creating a long, trailing trail.

When the two collided, the giant flying sword was actually blocked in mid-air.

Wu Han's body flew through the air, chanting incantations.

The throwing knife spun in circles, launching another attack.

The giant sword in the air could only be continuously parried.

For a time, the two sides fought fiercely and evenly.

Xiao Lin, wielding a long spear with golden patterns, was engaged in a fierce battle with another Refinement God expert.

The golden ring floated above his head.

He would occasionally pull at the opponent's weapon.

He darted forward and flew out, smashing towards the powerful man's head.

For a time, Xiao Lin actually gained the upper hand.

The other generals under Lu Ming's command also led their troops to meet the experts of the Kaiyang Sect.

At this moment, Yunhe was the most dedicated.

A formation was set up in the city, trapping three Nascent Soul stage experts.

The servants under his command all contributed their efforts.

After all, that's the rule of the Marquis's mansion. In addition to the monthly supplies, if you want to become stronger and obtain more resources, you need to have enough military merits.

Therefore, this leads to everyone putting in their best effort.

Lu Ming sat in the shade of a tree below the city.

Standing beside him were nine experts at the Purple Mansion Realm, including the Vajra Sect Master.

They are now not only Lu Ming's guards, but also the key to forming the formation.

Therefore, one cannot leave the other person's side.

Zhang Meng, unaware of what was happening, took out a few side dishes from the food box, carried a jar of wine, and placed it next to Lu Ming.

"My lord, it's getting cold. Why don't you have some wine to warm yourself up?"

Although Lu Ming has reached a level where he is impervious to heat and cold.

But she did not refuse Zhang Meng's kindness.

"Once this fortress is captured, the King of Langya will probably be in a hurry."

He will likely send a large army back to reinforce us; we must recapture enough cities before he returns.

After taking a sip of his drink, Lu Ming said calmly.

Then he continued, "Map!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party naturally did not dare to hesitate and quickly took out the map that had been prepared in advance.

After observing for a moment, Lu Ming said calmly, "After the fortress is breached, notify Wu Han to lead his troops forward. He is to attack the three prefectures in front of Langya Prefecture. Wang Xun and Miao Feng will be his deputies."

The three states on the left will be attacked by Xiao Lin's men, with Hu Fei and Lin Wu as his deputies!

As for the three states on the right, let Su Lie handle them, and let Hong Tao and Li Sun assist him!

The rest of you, follow me to the banks of the Nuyun River and wait for the King of Langya to return. This is their inevitable route. This time, I will drive the Kaiyang Sect out of the territory of Dayu.”

Lu Ming's gaze darkened slightly.

Upon receiving the order, Zhang Meng dared not hesitate and quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"

At the same time, he knew in his heart that this battle would probably shake the world, after all, it was a feat to drive an entire sect out of the Great Yu territory.

That's something not everyone can do.

Making the seven major sects suffer a setback is something no one, not even in the Great Yu or beyond, would dare to do.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Prince of Langya, who was encamped at the foot of Sanshan Pass, sat in his tent.

His face looked unusually pale.

The two maids standing to the side were trembling and dared not move.

"boom!"

After slamming his hand on the table, the King of Langya roared, "How dare Marquis Zhige! I thought that this Marquis of Dayu would not dare to be so presumptuous because of the arrival of the immortals!"

Who would have thought he would act so recklessly?

That's absolutely damnable!

Jin Poyue, sitting below, couldn't help but curl his lip.

The Prince of Langya's attempt to sow discord was truly clumsy. He and Marquis Zhige were already enemies; why bother with such useless talk?

However, he did not openly argue back.

Instead, he asked, "What are your plans?"

There was no politeness whatsoever in their words.

Jin Poyue is one of the top ten core disciples, and he doesn't really take the Prince of Langya seriously.

Especially now, it has been discovered that the other party does not possess any outstanding abilities.

However, after relying on the support of the immortal sects, he had even less interest in wasting words with them.

"Immortal Master, how long do you think it will take to break through the Three Mountains Pass?"

"The Great Yu royal family has deployed a high-grade spiritual weapon, the Slaughtering Yuan Crossbow, on the fortress. Moreover, it is controlled by the Refining God, so it will be impossible to break through the city in a short time."

It will take at least eight days.

Jin Poyue said calmly. The King of Langya's face showed anxiety, "Eight days, plus our return, even at the fastest speed it will take several days, that's more than ten days in total."

Who knows how many cities the Marquis of Zhige's army might capture?

Never mind, we can find another opportunity to retake Sanshan Pass. But if we lose our territory, we'll lose our foundation. Let's go back and deal with Zhige Hou first.

"Didn't the immortal have a grudge against him? This is a perfect opportunity to kill him."

The Prince of Langya said fiercely.

Jin Poyue raised an eyebrow.

"I have no objection." For him, it doesn't matter how he plays.

After seeing that Jin Poyue agreed.

Without hesitation, the King of Langya looked at his generals and said, "Send word to the army to break camp and return to wipe out Marquis Zhige first!"

"Yes, sir!" Upon receiving the order, the general did not hesitate and quickly retreated.

Moments later, the army began dismantling the tents.

Load the supplies onto the vehicles.

On the city wall, Li Yan, who had just come to oversee the battle, looked at the scene below.

His eyes showed worry. "The army of Marquis Zhige should have already launched an attack on Langya Prefecture, otherwise they would never have withdrawn at this time."

"Jin Poyue is too strong. I wonder if Marquis Zhige can stop him," the guard said slowly.

His mood was a little complicated.

I was both happy and worried.

Fortunately, after the King of Langya withdrew his troops, his fortress was saved.

The worry is that if Lu Ming loses this time, the Southern Frontier will definitely fall into the hands of the Prince of Langya.

At that time, the dragon vein will surely be disturbed.

An even stronger being from the sect has arrived.

The imperial court was even less able to stop it.

Inside the imperial palace in the capital, the empress, who had just finished court, looked somewhat tired.

When I first arrived at the harem.

The female official in green cautiously approached.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Sanshan Pass that Marquis Zhige has launched an attack on Langya Prefecture, and the King of Langya has begun to withdraw his troops."

"Notify Marquis Hongshan to lead his troops to aid Marquis Zhige," the Empress said after a moment's thought.

"Your Majesty, in that case, the territory guarded by Marquis Hongshan is in danger of being attacked."

"If Marquis Zhige is defeated, the Southern Frontier will be lost. Can Marquis Hongshan alone defend the Southern Frontier?" the Empress said calmly.

The female official in green dared not hesitate.

He quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"

Then he retreated.

The Empress then slowly entered her bedchamber.

After she sat down, a flash of mysterious light appeared in her hand.

A mirror appeared in the palm of his hand.

This celestial artifact has the power to suppress destiny, and its attack power is even stronger.

However, with her current cultivation level, the cost of using it would be too high.

However, if Lu Ming is really in danger, then there's no time to worry about anything else.

In fact, the reason why the major immortal sects dared not push the Great Yu too far was precisely because of this immortal artifact.

Moreover, it is the only mid-grade immortal artifact in the entire Seven Star Domain.

Although the Tian Shu Sect also possesses immortal artifacts, they are only of low grade.

Therefore, those sects and extraterrestrial forces are so cautious when facing the Great Yu.

"Phew, maybe I'll have to use you this time," the Empress muttered to herself after letting out a long sigh.

Inside the Prince Yong's residence at this time.

Liu Huai sat at the bottom of the hall and said with a smile, "I heard that the Prince of Langya has returned with his troops, and Marquis Zhige has launched an attack on Langya Prefecture. This time, it seems that the southern border will fall into the hands of the Prince of Langya."

When the dragon veins tremble and the Heavenly Pivot Dao Child descends, everything will be fine for us.

Among those of the same realm, unless a Dao Lord descends, no one can rival the Heavenly Pivot Dao Child.

After he finished speaking, seeing that everyone around him agreed with what he said, he...

His eyes narrowed involuntarily as he laughed.

After all, Tian Shu Dao Zi was his grandson-in-law.

Even if the other party doesn't really care about you.

But ultimately, it has a name.

If this person were to descend, who in the world would dare not look down upon him?

"Immortal Master, can Jin Poyue really kill Zhige Marquis? After all, he has a fearsome reputation and has rarely been defeated in recent years."

Prince Yong said with some concern.

Liu Xuan's calm voice rang out, "Zhige Hou has absolutely no chance of surviving. I once heard Tian Shu Daozi say that Jin Poyue's talent is only slightly inferior to his."

Such a person is invincible in the Great Yu Dynasty today.

After he finished speaking, Prince Yong nodded and said, "That's good."

Now, he truly hopes that the dragon vein will tremble once again.

At that time, a figure of the Dao Child level will descend.

The central point can definitely be broken through.

While everyone was speculating...

At this time, Lu Ming's army, after yesterday's fierce fighting, had already breached the fortress of Langya Prefecture and divided into three routes.

The attack was launched.

Watching the army depart into the distance.

Lu Ming turned to look at Zhang Meng and said, "Let's set off too."

At this moment, he was sitting on a warhorse.

The army behind them had already assembled.

As the whip lashed fiercely against the warhorse.

Lu Ming headed towards the Nuyun River.

The main force of each battalion followed closely behind.

Although there were only 50,000 people, the aura they exuded was incredibly powerful.

The Nuyun River traverses the entire southern Xinjiang region.

It stretches for hundreds of miles, its length unknown, with waves constantly surging and monsters rampaging across it.

It is considered the largest barrier in the southern border region.

Lu Ming arrived here several days later.

There were quite a few people at the dock.

Merchant ships are transporting goods.

The soldiers who were originally guarding the area had already fled.

A large number of laborers stood on the dock, looking at the dark mass of soldiers, their faces showing fear.

A burly man was brought over by Zhang Meng.

"My lord, this is the leader of the Angry Cloud Gang. He manages all the docks in this area, and it is said that he has tens of thousands of followers."

Lu Ming sat on his warhorse, his gaze sweeping across the scene.

When the substance landed on the man, he trembled and fell to his knees.

"My lord, I'm just trying to make a living. Whatever your orders, I'll do my best to serve you."

The man's cultivation level was at the Innate Realm. Judging from the faint murderous aura emanating from him, he must be a ruthless person in his daily life.

But in front of Lu Ming, she was like a quail.

I wish I could bury my head in the ground.

"Do you know when the Prince of Langya's ship will return? Think carefully about your answer. If the error exceeds half an hour, none of your Nujiang Gang members will survive." Lu Ming's indifferent voice rang out.

The armor on his body reflected a faint glow in the sunlight.

"Today, before nightfall, I heard that the King of Langya ordered his army to hurry on their way, abandoning a lot of supplies."

We arrived at the Nu River yesterday, and quite a few of our boats at the dock were transferred there.”

"The leader of the Angry Cloud Gang said hastily."

Lu Ming nodded.

Then, turning to Zhang Meng, he said, "Pass the word down and set up camp."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Meng didn't hesitate and quickly retreated.

After seeing off the leader of the Angry Cloud Gang, Lu Ming sat down by a campfire.

I'm going to check how many points I have now.

If possible, exchange for some more items. This battle is extremely important for him and for the entire Great Yu Dynasty.

If we can press on and drive the Kaiyang Sect out of Dayu, we can succeed.

This was a great encouragement to the entire imperial court.

It will also severely thwart those rebel kings.

Therefore, Lu Ming naturally had to make thorough preparations and keep all those people behind.
