Chapter 1032.

August 26th, Yin.

Ling Zhiyuan’s three hundred and fifty thousand Western Liang army led by Ling Zhiyuan dueled with the five hundred and eighty thousand Yuan Jing army in the south of Shangqiu.

In this battle, the Yuan Jing army not only had the numerical advantage, but also had the advantage of having the majestic city of Guang’an at their back.

Most importantly, Yuan Jing’s army also had a strong backup.

That was the 50,000 Daqi Qingzhou Iron Horsemen!

The Qi Qingzhou Iron Cavalry was famous throughout the world for their bravery and valor, and they had never lost a battle. Over the centuries, they had frequently attacked Great Yan and Great Liang, and they did not know how many generals of the two countries had been killed.

Emperor Yuan Jing also paid a great price to reach an agreement with Da Qi and borrowed this elite and unrivaled iron cavalry.

And the battle between the two sides began first on the vast plains.

The Western Liang Shenji Army was unsurprisingly the main protagonist of the battle, using hundreds of field cannons and 100,000 cannons at the start to blast through the Yuanjing Army’s arrays with great force.

As a matter of fact, Yuanjing army also had a large number of cannons, as well as a large number of imitation cannons, and even set up their own Shenji Battalion modeled after the Western Liang army.

However, when the ghost of Li met Li Kui, the result was that the well-equipped and well-trained Western Liang Shenji army swept away the opponent with a devastating force, and then attacked the Yuanjing army’s center camp directly.

Yuan Jing’s army had no choice but to advance their cavalry in an attempt to break the Shen Ji Army from the flanks.

As a result, it collapsed under the bombardment of blooming and scattering bullets, losing tens of thousands of men and horses without achieving its goal.

What was even more breathless was that when the Xiliang army, which had the upper hand, launched an all-out attack on the demoralized Yuanjing army, the Qingzhou iron cavalry, which was supposed to join the battlefield, actually retreated back to Guang’an City.

Moreover, they sealed the city gates and blocked the back road of Yuan Jing’s army!

This divine operation of Qingzhou Iron Cavalry undoubtedly greatly accelerated the collapse of Yuanjing Army, which only lasted less than half a day before completely collapsing, and countless soldiers did not die from the cannons, but instead perished while trampling on each other.

The blood stained the earth red, the corpses spread over the plains, and in the following decades, the south of Shangqiu became a forbidden place for ordinary people, because legend has it that there are too many dead souls who are unwilling to fall into the reincarnation, and have been wandering around here.

Many more people dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender and pray for their lives.

Emperor Yuan Jing had not been given the right position and had been militaristic in the past few years, and although he had assembled a huge army, the quality of the soldiers and their morale were not high, which became one of the reasons for this fiasco.

In just one day, the Western Liang army won this victory that decided the fate of the country of Great Liang.

After the battle, the post-battle statistics showed that nearly 200,000 of the five hundred and eighty thousand King’s soldiers died in the battle, more than 300,000 surrendered and were captured, and only a few were lucky enough to escape from the battlefield.

Immediately after that, the Western Liang army surrounded the city of Guang’an, trapping 50,000 Qingzhou Iron Cavalry and 30,000 Yuanjing troops in the city.

Since there were too many prisoners, the Western Liang army did not immediately attack this famous city of Daqi.

Instead, the Qingzhou army sent a messenger to offer the city of Guang’an in exchange for their safe departure.

Having seen the power of Western Liang’s cannons and not fighting for Daqi, the Qingzhou iron horsemen’s fighting spirit was quite low.

Nonetheless, they still carried the pride of Daqi with them.

As a result, Ling Zhiyuan flatly refused and mobilized the siege cannons located at the rear and started bombarding the city day and night.

Although Guang’an City’s walls had also deployed large and small artillery, but facing the bombardment of the seventy-two Earthly Fate Divine Martial Cannons that Wang Chen had personally refined, they fell to the heavy artillery fire without having to play much of a role.

Then Guang’an City’s tall and sturdy walls were blasted out of a huge gap, and the Qingzhou Army and Yuanjing Army defending the city suffered heavy deaths and injuries.

On that day, Ling Zhiyuan personally led his army into Guang’an City and killed the commander of the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry, Sixth Order Martial Exalt Gao Yuan in battle, completely annihilating his opponents and capturing this important city.

Thus, the road to the Liang capital, Daye, was completely opened.

This battle was once again sensationally rumored throughout the world.

Since the main force of Yuan Jing’s army was wiped out, after three days of rest and recuperation in Guang’an City, Ling Zhiyuan led his army northward without any obstacles, and the counties along the way surrendered to the wind.

The Western Liang army traveled all the way north and arrived in Daye without any problems!

By this time, Da Yeh was already in complete chaos, and Emperor Yuan Jing had lost his mind, massacring court ministers and concubines, and even burning the city down.

As a result, his own downfall was hastened when the great families of Da Yeh opened the gates of the city, allowing the Western Liang army to enter the imperial capital.

That night, Emperor Yuan Jing ignited gunpowder in the palace and blew himself and his children into the sky!

After Ling Zhiyuan captured Daye, he sent his troops to collect four more counties.

With the exception of the three northern counties that were previously ceded to Daqi, the whole of Da Liang came under the rule of the Wushu Emperor.

Qi Luck +15000

In the Hanhai Dao Palace, in the cultivation chamber, a huge amount of qi fortune steeply descended on Wang Chen’s body.

He swept a glance at the eye-catching reminder that popped up in his field of vision before closing his eyes again and falling into meditation.

Just a moment ago, Wang Chen once again touched the Source of the World, and went deeper than ever before!

In his perception, the Cangqing Realm’s world source was still an endless chaos, and had not condensed to give birth to a true world consciousness.

This was a very normal situation, because if the Cangqing Realm had its own consciousness, then if Wang Chen wanted to descend to this realm with his Jindan cultivation, it would basically be a delusion.

And even if he managed to descend successfully, he could be pinched to death by the Heavenly Dao – that is, the World Consciousness – at any time!

In fact, only such a small world could be grasped by Wang Chen.

It was even refined to become his own Dao Foundation of Greatness!

However, even if the Source of the World was still in a chaotic state, it was still not something that the current Wang Chuan could get his hands on, all he could do was to use the Mountain and River Formation as a carrier, and at the cost of burning his qi, project his intention into it a little bit at a time.

Allowing the Source of the World to be infected with his breath.

From a certain perspective, Wang Chen was like a virus-like existence!

While Wang Chen was in seclusion in the Vast Ocean Dao Palace, the outside world was once again in turmoil, and the world’s situation changed again and again.

First of all, the Queen of Western Liang, Wu Jie, announced that she would move her capital to Daye and take the throne, and changed the name of her country to Great Zhou.

After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it did not send troops to conquer the northern homeland as many people thought, but hoarded heavy troops to guard the passes and put up a defensive posture.

On the other hand, Ling Zhiyuan led 100,000 Divine Mechanism Army to ride south and start the conquest of the southern barbarians.

Compared to the huge number of Yuan Jing Army earlier, the southern barbarians were rather more difficult to deal with.

Ling Zhiyuan spent more than half a year sweeping through the deep forests of the south, destroying countless barbarian fortresses and caves, and paying the price of more than 50,000 casualties before completely solving the scourge that had haunted Da Liang for hundreds of years.

How many barbarians died in this war became a permanent secret.

Anyway, the few barbarians who survived have become hospitable townspeople who can sing and dance.

Wang Dust at this time triggered the spiritual opportunity of return in advance!
