Yuzhou City was completely lifeless.
Yuzhou is the blessed land of Jin Dynasty. It is prosperous, rich and the best in the world.
Yuzhou City is the core of Yuzhou. If Yuzhou is the crown of the Jin Dynasty, Yuzhou City is the brightest pearl in the crown.
A large city with dozens of attached cities around it. There are hundreds of millions of people concentrated in a small area. Tens of thousands of chambers of commerce are gathered here. All industries are prosperous, gold and silver are flowing, and the air is filled with the smell of wealth.
On weekdays, there are countless swarms of flying boats flying over Yuzhou City, and countless goods use Yuzhou City as a distribution center, bringing a huge amount of wealth to the place.
But today, early in the morning, everything was normal.
But gradually, countless flying boats in the sky disappeared in a very short period of time. Shops closed their doors one after another. The flow of people on the street quickly became sparse. Those wealthy families also closed their courtyard doors and opened the defenses of their own courtyards. Prohibition.
Just when Sun Bu Bing was crying to Sima Fu in the East Palace, high-pitched sirens came from far away from all directions.
The flying boats were not arranged neatly, but the huge military formation was pressing towards Yuzhou City from all directions, from the east, south, north, and west. At least there were more than One hundred thousand large and small flying boats came at the same time.
There were continuous loud explosions in Yuzhou City.
A monk cast his thunder method, and a ball of thunder and fire the size of a water tank exploded in the city. When a ball of thunder and fire fell, there was a loud noise, and a ball of fire swept hundreds of feet around, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains, and making every building explode. collapse.
Those attacked by thunder and fire were all the government offices in Yuzhou City.
What are the official offices of the Lord of Yuzhou, the official offices of the Lord of Yuzhou City, the official offices of Yuzhou counties stationed in Yuzhou City, as well as the official warehouses and public treasuries of Yuzhou, the most important military camps and granaries in Yuzhou City, etc...
These places are usually protected by formation restrictions, but today these thunder and fire suddenly came, and none of the formation restrictions were opened.
Seeing the exquisite palaces and pavilions shattered to pieces, the neat and spacious warehouses disappeared in the light of the fire.
Countless grains, countless goods, even ordnance and baggage, etc., as well as several official flying boat production plants in Yuzhou, were all reduced to nothing in the thunder and fire.
Fortunately, the atmosphere in Yuzhou has been tense these days, and many government servants and officials have been expelled by Lao Tie and returned home to wait for processing. There was no production in these government-run factories, and all the technicians and craftsmen were resting at home. Therefore, when the attack came, there were few casualties.
The sky was filled with thunder and fire while I was having a cup of tea, and then I heard the rapid sound of war drums.
In Yuzhou City, the wealthy mansions that had been closed before suddenly opened their doors. Countless private soldiers and guards wearing various armors shouted the slogan of 'Kill thieves for the country', and came out of the mansion doors in huge numbers. They rushed out, quickly gathered together, and headed towards the barracks where Wu Tie's command was stationed along the streets.
Yuzhou is extremely rich and has many wealthy families.
Having money means resources.
Whether it is resources for luxury enjoyment, resources for cultivation, or even weapons, armor, etc., they are all resources.
Rich people, on the other hand, are more afraid of death, and even more afraid of being targeted by bandits, being kidnapped, being assassinated, or being secretly wiped out by competitors.
Therefore, Yuzhou's wealthy families, whether they are nobles with titles or ordinary wealthy businessmen, all maintain private armies.
Because they have money, lots and lots of money, the number of private soldiers they maintain is several times or even ten times larger than that of nobles and wealthy families of similar status in neighboring states and counties.
When a secret force gathered these noble families together, the flying boat fleet they gathered and the private guards they gathered completely overwhelmed the Yuzhou state army in terms of numbers.
The Yuzhou State Army is huge, with millions of soldiers stationed in hundreds of large and small cities. But Yuzhou City is the top priority, so there are 300,000 elite state troops stationed in Yuzhou City.
But today, the flying boat fleet that gathered around Yuzhou City from all sides, as well as the private military guards who raided various government offices from within, were at least ten times more than the entire Yuzhou state army in terms of number.
In Yuzhou City, the camp where the Yuzhou State Army was stationed was quiet.
There was no previous thunder and fire attack here, and no one appeared in the camp.
The whole camp was dead silent, as if there was no one alive.
An invisible evil spirit permeated the camp, gradually accumulating and fermenting, like a volcano that could erupt at any time, not knowing where to pour its anger.
A private army of a wealthy family drove past the gate of the state army garrison in a mighty manner, shouting and breaking into the Yamen of Yuzhou Transfer Division opposite. Several rapid exclamations came from the Yamen of the Transportation Department, which had been plowed by thunder and fire, and then the sound of swords entering the body was heard, and a rough voice shouted: "Kill all these silverfish who are working for the thieves!"
"Yuzhou, is the Yuzhou of Yuzhou people... Yuzhou Gong? Hey, a mere outsider dares to take a look at the wealth of Yuzhou?" Another sharp voice screamed: "Who dares to give Yuzhou The public is doing business, whoever dares to help Mr. Yuzhou deal with the elders of Yuzhou Township... kill, kill, kill!"
Countless private soldiers shouted the very seductive slogan "Yuzhou is the Yuzhou of Yuzhou people" and excitedly went around burning, killing and looting.
In Yuzhou City, several important warehouses were attacked by thunder and fire, and the main buildings were blown up. After the army poured in, the gold and silver and other wealth could not be destroyed by thunder and fire. Even if the gold and silver melted, it was still gold and silver. !
Countless soldiers let go and looted wildly.
Just like the several warehouses under the jurisdiction of the Transshipment Department, countless gold, silver, jewelry and Yuzhou specialties are being piled up in them. These are tributes that are to be transported to Anyang City and sent to the Royal House of Internal Affairs.
These soldiers all had red eyes and plundered wantonly with the connivance of their generals and leaders.
Soon, soldiers set their sights on the residents near these government offices.
'Yuzhou is the Yuzhou of Yuzhou people'... The wealth of Yuzhou people is naturally the wealth of Yuzhou people... Since they are all the wealth of Yuzhou people, then these private soldiers and guards are all Yuzhou people. Isn’t their wealth also their wealth
This logic is totally fine!
It’s reasonable!
The wealth in the private house is their wealth... and the little lady in the private house is naturally their little lady!
Even if there are not so many young ladies in Yuzhou City, they will not be picky about those married young wives, elder sisters-in-law, or even charming aunts!
War and chaos are the most terrifying things in the world.
Like a scourge, once the flood gate breaks free, the instigators cannot imagine how destructive the military rebellion will be.
Countless private soldiers and guards in small and large groups began to attack those large and small houses.
Outside the city wall, countless warships and flying boats were approaching. The main guns on the bow of the ship were shining with dazzling light, locking on the Yuzhou city wall and waiting to fire.
There was already a strong light on the Yuzhou city wall.
The city defense of Yuzhou City is extremely powerful and solid, several times stronger than the city defense formations of ordinary state cities and even the capitals of ordinary feudal states.
In particular, the city defense formation in Yuzhou City has given birth to formation spirits and has a vague sense of self. Once a large number of unidentified ships approach, the formation in Yuzhou City will automatically open.
But in the blink of an eye, the entire city defense array dimmed.
Someone communicated with the formation spirit of Yuzhou City and directly shut down the entire city defense formation.
Harsh laughter came from the huge ships outside the city, and then at least hundreds of different voices shouted at the same time: "Lock the camp of Yuzhou Gongluzi and open fire with all your strength!"
More than 100,000 warships formed a formation similar to a round pot in the air, and nearly 30,000 warships were placed at the front of the formation. Their bow main guns could easily lock on all targets in Yuzhou City.
Before they came, they had found out that hundreds of thousands of elite Black Phoenix Army and hundreds of thousands of heroes of the Zezhou Army were all placed in two barracks in the city adjacent to the Yuzhou Army.
Lao Tie, Huang Lang and others were also wary of the Yuzhou state army causing trouble and deliberately stationed heavy troops on guard.
But at this moment, it happened to be the best target for this huge fleet.
The previous thunder and fire attack only blew up some of the restrictions in the two camps and destroyed several barracks. No soldiers from the Black Phoenix Army and the Da Zezhou Army were injured.
But tens of thousands of warships opened fire at the same time... Even if the heroes of the Black Phoenix Army and the Great Zezhou Army were all masters of the Tibetan Realm, they would probably be melted into a puddle of juice by the gunfire and blown into pieces all over the sky.
At the critical moment, thirty-six Siling battleships suddenly shot up from the ground into the sky.
Arranged in an array according to the directions of the nine palaces, the phantoms of the four spirits of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu Heaven and Earth flashed above the Four Spirits Battleship. Groups of huge flame wings condensed into shape at the fingertips, and then the flaming feathers all over the sky turned into Streams of light shot rapidly in all directions.
The black cauldron-like fleet formation was pierced by countless burning fire feathers.
Huge gaps were opened in the private warships. The interior of the warships was burning, and then flames spurted out from each hole. At the same time, countless private soldiers whose bodies were burning were spurted out.
Rich, wealthy, and well-connected... The wealthy families in Yuzhou can indeed form large-scale private armies, but their biggest weakness is that unless they have a relatively high title, they will never It is possible to obtain the standard battleship of the Jin military.
This vast collection of more than 100,000 huge warships and airships are all modified from civilian ships.
All the bow main guns are made by craftsmen hired privately by each family, using backward blueprints circulated by the military.
The warships used by these private armies are probably only less than 20% equivalent to military-standard warships of the same volume in terms of attack power, defense power, and comprehensive combat effectiveness.
Faced with a country-level artifact-level killer weapon like the Siling Battleship...
It was just a wave of attacks. More than 20,000 private warships spewed flames and black smoke and fell to the ground from a high altitude.
The sky was filled with plumes of fire, and the private warships were trembling violently, continuously erupting into huge bursts of fire, and accompanied by huge sounds, they slowly fell from the sky slowly and swaying.
"Fire, fire..." Countless high and low roars continued to come from the huge fleet.
But this huge private fleet has at least five to six hundred wealthy families mixed together. Each wealthy family has its own commander. When they faced such a terrible attack, hundreds of voices spoke at the same time. Give orders.
After all, a private army is a private army, not a regular army of the dynasty.
Such chaos directly led to the overall collapse of more than 100,000 battleships.
The worshipers employed by wealthy families with high salaries turned around and left, turning into streams of light and walking away.
Seeing that something was wrong, the core members of the wealthy family immediately drove their ships to break out of the encirclement.
There were even more private soldiers stamping their feet, secretly stabbing their bosses they usually disliked in the back, then taking off their private armor as quickly as possible and leaving the battleship in groups.
There were thousands of warships in the fleet Wu Tie brought from Dazezhou.
The main force of the Five Elements Elves was placed in several attached cities outside Yuzhou City.
These private army groups ignored the Five Elements Elf... In other words, they didn't take the Five Elements Elf into consideration when they first made the plan.
The Five Elements Elves are, after all, just aliens.
In the hearts of the people of the Jin Dynasty, and even the three great kingdoms of Wu and Wei, foreign races, even the most human-like foreign races, are despicable, weak, and have no fighting power. They can only serve as slaves and maids for them to drive around. .
No one paid attention to the movements of the Five Elements Elf.
So when thousands of standard warships under Wu Tie soared into the sky, and countless wood spirits armed with short bows rained down arrows into Yuzhou City in the air, the private soldiers and guards who were causing trouble in the city were all dumbfounded.
Thousands of warships enveloped the entire Yuzhou City like a dark cloud.
The archery skills of the wood spirits... naturally need not be mentioned. Every arrow will definitely not miss.
Arrows fell all over the sky, and countless screams and screams came from the city.
Lao Tie's high-pitched roar spread throughout Yuzhou City: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, keep the ones alive... Fat and strong humanoid animals, hey, mining, farming, etc. are the best." If it doesn’t work, you can still use it as cannon fodder in the war!”
"Keep him alive, hey, keep him alive, if anyone kills someone at random, half a month's salary will be deducted from you!"
Lao Tie was so excited that he was jumping up and down with excitement. He shouted at the wood spirits not to kill, and at the same time shouted at the private warships that were escaping: "Don't run, don't run. I declare that you are all prisoners, all of you are prisoners." Got it!"
Dozens of warships broke away from the huge military formation and continued to flee despite Lao Tie's roar.
Lao Tie has a set of black and inconspicuous armor on his body. This is the protective armor left by King Dapeng Ming.
With a flash of inspiration, Lao Tie instantly crossed a distance of more than a hundred miles, bringing dozens of afterimages with him and passing by the dozens of battleships. The yin-yang spear in his hand brought up gun shadows all over the sky, instantly poking hundreds of thousands of holes of exactly the same size on dozens of battleships.
"Don't run away! Those who run away will die!"
Lao Tiemo used Xuan Gong, and behind him, two yin and yang qi, one black and one white, rose into the sky like tornadoes, and quickly entangled the other two escaping warships dozens of miles away.
With a slight roll of Yin and Yang Qi, the two battleships turned into fine dust and scattered. Only the thousands of soldiers on the two battleships were suspended in the air blankly, with pale faces, all covered by Lao Tie's terror. Power frightened.
"Those who surrender live, those who resist die." Pei Feng's clear voice sounded faintly.
"In the name of Lord Lingshan, if you give up resistance, you can all survive... Otherwise, the nine tribes will be slaughtered!"
