Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The Qi state's gatekeeper, of course, knew that things couldn't continue like this.

This general from the Great Zhou Dynasty is terrifying.

Ever since the State of Qi captured ten cities north of the Yellow Dragon River, they have been keeping a close watch on the State of Zhou.

In fact, they were absolutely right. As the most powerful nation in the world, the Great Zhou Dynasty would never suffer in silence.

They've been at it for so many years, they've never stopped.

If it weren't for the internal discord among the supreme rulers of the Great Zhou, the fifteen southern kingdoms, with their combined strength, would have had no chance of taking any territory from the Great Zhou.

After losing ten cities, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been launching a counterattack or preparing for one.

But never before has it been like this.

The city gates were breached, and tens of thousands of Zhou troops suddenly launched a night attack...

Before this, they hadn't been able to find even the slightest clue.

Their spies sent to the Great Zhou Dynasty and those left outside Linhai City failed to send back any intelligence.

The enemy appeared at the city gate suddenly, like divine soldiers.

Little did the captain know that it wasn't that their reaction wasn't fast enough, nor that their spies were useless.

Logically, their spies should have been alerted to an attack like this.

The mobilization of tens of thousands of troops, from preparation to departure, would not be possible in less than ten days to half a month.

It could take a while, possibly a month or two.

In this way, once their spies received the information, they could secretly contact their contacts to relay the message.

Before the Great Zhou launched their attack, they had often already made preparations.

This time, Li Changqing completely defied expectations.

He ordered the army to assemble ahead of time, but did not inform them of any plans or which city they were to attack.

As soon as he arrives, he will immediately lead his men into action.

Before the Qi spies could even send out the message, Li Changqing led his army to the gates of Linhai.

That's why they were caught off guard.

"Inform the general to bring out the prepared secret weapon. We must treat this opponent as a powerful being at the Great Freedom Realm."

Although Li Changqing could only unleash the attack power of the Great Freedom, he was not the true Great Freedom.

But the Qi state officer knew this.

As long as Li Changqing can unleash the attack power of the Great Freedom Realm, it will be a significant blow to the soldiers of Qi.

Li Changqing is no different from the real Da Xiaoyao.

They must stop this guy at all costs.

Otherwise, they would likely face utter ruin.

The generals and soldiers of the Great Zhou entered the city gate one after another. After entering the city gate, they soon saw the corpses that looked like a small mountain.

There are at least two or three hundred people.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the work of that young General Nangong.

Originally, it was only some of the elite commanders of the Zhennan Army who felt admiration.

Now even these ordinary soldiers feel a genuine sense of admiration.

No wonder he was ordered by the emperor to be the vanguard of the surprise attack.

This General Nangong is too fierce!

"kill!"

"Drive all those treacherous dogs from Qi into the Yellow Dragon River to feed the fish."

"It's time to let these guys know who's in charge north of the Yellow River."

Under Li Changqing's leadership, the army marched straight in and stormed into Linhai City.

At this time, the number of troops in Linhai City was actually quite large.

There were at least twenty or thirty thousand...

In terms of numbers, they were no less than the elite troops of the Zhennan Army, and they were on the defensive.

The Zhennan Army actually had little chance of gaining any advantage.

But by then, the city gates had already been breached.

This means that their once-proud advantages have now vanished.

What the two sides are competing in is their fighting spirit and strength.

On the Zhennan Army's side, Li Changqing held the Peerless Overlord Spear, his body gleaming with black light.

With one shot, he could instantly take down a large number of people.

Seeing such a formidable opponent, the soldiers of Qi were clearly powerless to resist.

It's not that they don't want to, but that they really can't hold on any longer.

The opponent was too strong, stronger than they could have imagined.

Under Li Changqing's leadership, the Zhennan Army advanced rapidly, as if entering an uninhabited territory.

No matter how hard the opponents struggled, they couldn't gain any advantage over them.

The Qi soldiers were quickly forced to defend, and even retreated while fighting.

When they made this decision, even though Li Changqing displayed unparalleled might, their speed in killing enemy soldiers still slowed down.

And it's getting slower and slower.

"Damn it, those cowardly bastards."

"They actually hid in the courtyards of ordinary people; this is troublesome."

Previously, most of the people in Linhai City were subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Later, the Qi Kingdom occupied the area, and in order to ensure long-term stability, they sent many people over.

Even so, the people here are still mainly subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They had no way to send soldiers into civilian homes.

The military discipline of the Great Zhou Dynasty wasn't bad, but it wasn't perfect either. It was fine when someone was watching, but once no one was watching, things would be different.

Who knows what they're doing in people's homes?

Those hidden Qi soldiers were certainly someone to be hated to the core.

But without orders from their superiors, they really didn't have any good options.

Li Changqing was also stunned when he heard the news.

War will bring many troubles and difficult things to handle.

Li Changqing had anticipated this.

But now it seems that his preparations are clearly insufficient, or even far from adequate.

Li Changqing had never thought about this question.

This is not the State of Qi; this is Linhai City, which still belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Most of the people here are from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Their previous allegiance to the State of Qi was out of necessity. The people of the city had done their utmost to resist the Qi army.

They never wronged the court; on the contrary, it was the court that wronged them.

The imperial court has just won back the war, and it is the perfect time to establish its prestige.

Sending troops into civilian homes at this time, those soldiers who have wandered off from their homes, who knows what they'll do.

But if they don't go in, these hidden guys will become as dangerous as poppies.

They might drag them all in at any time.

What does it mean to be caught in a dilemma?

That's probably it.

Just as Li Changqing was pondering these things, the strongest army from the Qi Kingdom arrived in Linhai City.

They don't have many people, at most a few thousand.

However, at this moment, what they were actually exuding was an incredibly terrifying aura.

Even Li Changqing was moved.

He could sense that this team was extraordinary.

"Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, activate!!"

The thousands of soldiers quickly surrounded them according to their positions.

"What is this?"

"What should we do here?"
