Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 256
The swords and swords intersect, and the sky and the earth are covered by the night of stars!

A ray of unyielding red light pierced through it and passed through it!

In an instant, illusions appeared, swords, light and swords all used one move to turn ten thousand moves, and ten thousand moves to one move!
Is the power of God unpredictable, or is it determined by man to conquer the sky?

Feiyue, Yunlong, Mrs. Miaoxin, Qianhongyu, and Sikongzhan all hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether they should step forward to help, but the winner was already decided in this instant!
Fan Zhuoyuan and Mu Qingyan crossed each other, and all his iron armor and military uniform burst, revealing the strong outfit he was wearing inside.

The top craftsmen spent two years carefully forging each piece of this armor with cold iron from the north. At this time, it was smashed to pieces by the sword energy that blended the majesty of heaven, earth and nature. .

The dragon-slaying knife fell to the ground, but the red glow still remained, and the aura of the sword, which can conquer the sky, penetrated nearly ten feet, and penetrated more than a foot deep into the ground!
Completely surpassing the limit of what the innate realm can achieve, the innate master strikes with all his strength, and after leaving the body, the furthest is less than five zhang.

Mu Qingyan stood in the lonely evening wind, her clothes and hair tie fluttering, but the majesty of the stars behind her suddenly became dim.

She put the sword back into its sheath gracefully, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, like the dissipated ray of light, no longer stained with any dust, so clear and clean that there is no blemish, which means that the sword of the man who will conquer the sky has completely cut off the last flaw in her heart .

Mu Qingyan didn't look back, but turned his head slightly, and said to Mrs. Miaoxin and the others: "Master, senior sister, and brother-in-law, Qingyan has tried his best but failed. As far as the Emperor Daojun is concerned, the promise has been fulfilled, so let's go!" Just leave now."

Master Miaoxin was stunned for a moment, but she didn't show any sign of despair, instead she said with a congratulatory smile: "Qing Yan, it seems that you have completely crossed that spiritual hurdle."

Qian Hongyu was startled and said: "So, isn't it possible to have a glimpse of the peak profound meaning of the Cihang Sword Code?"

Mu Qingyan still didn't look back, and turned his back to Fan Zhuoyuan who had gradually restrained his saber intent, and said, "General Fan, thank you for cutting the heart but not the person."

"Fairy cherishes it. From now on, there will be no future."

"It will be indefinite later."

Mu Qingyan's white horse seemed to have sensed it, and rushed forward on her own initiative. She jumped on the horse's back and headed towards the rising direction of the galaxy without looking back. Her posture was free and unrestrained, like a bird that had completely unshackled.

After Cihang Jingzhai and others left, Feiyue put down her guard and looked at Fan Zhuoyuan.

"Have you been hurt by her sword?"

"There are some minor injuries, but it's not a problem. Her sword is for breaking away, not for killing people. Otherwise, the best result for me and her would be one death and one serious injury."

Feiyue wondered, "So you two didn't attack each other directly?"

"Since it is the sword of questioning the heart, it should be used to cut the heart."

Fan Zhuoyuan recalled the battle just now, if he had met with the most sincere heart instead of slashing his heart, he might have completely subdued that fairy.

If she can't pass the hurdle of giving up and leaving because of this, she can only choose to follow her heart like her senior sister.

It's a pity that Fan Zhuoyuan has never had any other thoughts about her, so facing Jian Xin's enlightenment, he can't show his sincerity, but can only show his determination.

The resolution is to rule the world and rebuild the mountains and rivers!
Fan Zhuoyuan looked towards the deep and huge Bianliang City to the south, and said: "After the preparations are complete, we will attack the city! No matter who the defenders are, I will take all the land north of the Jianghuai River in this battle!"

The negotiation that several people from Cihang Jingzhai came over was actually the last chance to keep Bianliang City.

After Mu Qingyan and others left, Fan Zhuoyuan dug deep trenches and built sandy soil, set up heavy artillery, and advanced layer by layer.

It took a full half a month to engage in artillery battles with the defenders without any pretensions!This is also the world's first large-scale artillery battle with more than [-] guns, which will be talked about by military enthusiasts in later generations.

However, the process of the artillery battle was extremely boring, although there were many heavy artillery in the city, and the range was longer.

However, Fan Zhuoyuan's sand and earth fortifications can effectively prevent the shells from bouncing and splashing. In addition, the artillery positions of the attacking side are dispersed, and the hit rate is higher.

Concentrating on one city wall, they finally completely demolished the city wall within half a month, destroying all its fortifications.

The morale of the defenders in the city was originally declining, but it was barely encouraged by Zongze's pressure on the rich to raise a large amount of money.

At this time, after Lai Zhiwei's barrier wall was blown down, the defenders in front of him immediately surrendered to Fan Zhuoyuan in an organized manner.

There were also stubborn resisters in the other ministries, and they were all wiped out by the more powerful Xiaojie army. After controlling the key points of the treasury in Bianjing, the army entered the Kaifeng government office.

Seeing that the situation was over, Zong Ze explained the funeral to his relatives and subordinates around him, and then left himself alone in his room and hanged himself.

Fan Zhuoyuan did not embarrass Zongze's relatives and subordinates, but instead gave him a sum of money to return to his hometown.

At Bianliang, it was reported to the Quartet that Shandong and other places had been beaten to the ground by the Eastern Route Army.

At this point, Fan Zhuoyuan went all the way south to drink the Mahuai River. Luzhou, Yangzhou and other places on the other side of the Huai River panicked. The bureaucrats and even the defenders fled.

Historically, it was here that Jin Wushu chased thousands of Song soldiers all the way south with dozens of Jin soldiers, killing Zhao Gou and fleeing to Taizhou. Siyu's harem is widowed in vain for this reason.

However, Fan Zhuoyuan did not forcefully cross the Huaihe River to attack Yangzhou and Jiankang. First of all, the land he had just conquered was not stable enough. A group of landlords and scholar-bureaucrats were secretly joining forces, and they did not know when they would launch a rebellion.

Secondly, our own army is not enough, and the combat power of the navy is low. Once the Song army controls the Jianghuai with the navy, these tens of thousands of soldiers will be trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a risk of the entire army being wiped out.

Although the Xiaojie army is powerful and arrogant, but as the leader of an army, he should keep his senses at all times, not chase after greed for merit, and not be discouraged by weakness. The achievement of strategic goals is better than a tactical one. A hundred victories are more meaningful.

In the end, even if Yangzhou and Jiankang are taken down, it will be difficult to defend for a long time. At that time, if you go south, you will have to face the Yangtze River. In the middle, not only is mobility lost, but there is also the risk of cutting off the rear.

Moreover, the Southern Dynasty still had a huge space for strategic maneuvering. Even if they lost the defense line of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, and the upper reaches of Jingxiang and other places were still under their control, they might send out naval support at any time.

So Fan Zhuoyuan was not in a hurry to cross the south of the Yangtze River directly, but turned his head to the west and went straight to Xiangyang!

As the central point of the Jianghuai defense line, Xiangyang will be completely cut off from the upstream support from the Bashu Hanjiang River and the downstream Huaihe River navy if it is breached.

Moreover, it is also possible to use the Han River system to build large-scale warships, train the navy, and then go south in one fell swoop, which will be the victory of the world, and no one can recover!
