Song Hongchang, the leader of the "Nu Tao gate", was only a little on the long line of defense.

The reformists have long rebelled against Zhang Guanglong, the deputy hall leader of his family. Knowing that this is the weakest point, they have deployed a large number of elites here.

Just now, several successive rounds of charge were just feints. Until now, song Hongchang's men, especially those who were in the dark, were shaken by psychological tactics. The whole defense area was in an uproar. When many people "revolted on the battlefield", the elite of the reformers jumped out and launched the most resolute assault!

The elite of these raids are mostly the backbone of the deep sea fleet and a few veterans in the imperial forest army, or they are the scattered troops who have blood feuds with the families of the four general election emperors and Marquises. They are by no means comparable to the fish belly troops just attacked.

They are like a red tooth, suddenly pierced the line of defense of the election emperor.

Through the election of the emperor and Marquis army completely lost the will to fight, collapse and chaos, such as the chain reaction of crystal bombs, instantly spread.

Under the leadership of the grass-roots officers, countless ordinary soldiers of the imperial Marquis army really turned the blade and muzzle to the middle and high-level commanders.

In particular, song Hongchang, the leader of Nu Tao gate, the highest commander of this defense area, turned from a majestic general to a rat in the street.

"Catch song Hongchang, catch song Hongchang!"

The true and false cheers echoed over the battlefield. The flag of the old empire, representing the families of the four general election emperors and Marquises, was crumbling in the artillery fire, and was torn into thousands of strands and turned into ashes.

A brand-new flag of imperial innovation is rising over the battlefield. On the flag, the flames are burning and licking the whole world!

Naturally, Li Yao and others would not miss such a great opportunity to rush into and pass through the defense area of the elector's army in the turbulent "debris flow".

Song Hongchang was only in charge of one part of the whole defense line, which was nearly 100 kilometers long and dozens of kilometers deep. Even if it collapsed, it would take some time.

In many trenches and bunkers, face-to-face shooting or white-edged killing continued, but the fighting was one-sided.

The reformers are as powerful as a rainbow, and the soldiers are as mad as demons and invincible; However, the army of electing emperors and Marquises was demoralized and despondent. Many troops broke up at the first contact, or fell to their knees and surrendered one after another. Even as soon as they saw the emergence of the revolutionary flag, they pointed their swords and guns at their commanders and "revolted on the battlefield".

Li Yao was watching the war while he was marching forward. He was filled with emotion.

This small city breaking battle is the epitome of the current imperial trend.

In terms of comprehensive strength, the number of soldiers, and even the average quality of the army, the imperial army is significantly higher than that of the reformers. As the main force of the reformers, the imperial army has not experienced any bloody battle or fierce battle for hundreds of years. It is a mere appearance.

However, the biggest difference between the two sides is "Tao mind".

Tao mind is something that every cultivator often talks about, but it is not necessarily clear to ask carefully. It is illusory and mysterious.

In Li Yao's view, Tao Xin is very simple. It is nothing more than idea, doctrine and spirit.

Practitioners need to have the heart of Tao to have the direction of strength. Similarly, an army composed of countless practitioners also needs to have its own solid heart of Tao to give full play to its combat effectiveness.

The so-called emperor and Marquis selecting army, no matter how powerful it is on paper, how swaggering it is, is a traditional, backward and decadent old-fashioned army.

The high-ranking officers of this army are selfish, greedy, shameless and moral. They can sell their motherland for the sake of their families, and they can sell their families for their own sake. Their ideas, doctrines and spirits are nothing more than tiger skins for their self-interest, and no one will take them seriously.

As for the bottom, they are either hoodwinked by their "tiger skin", or bribed by them with petty profits, or coerced by their violence, unwilling to work for them.

No matter how strong the old style army is, no matter how vast the territory is, no matter how many star ships and soldiers there are, it's just a loose sand or a loose sand that repels each other!

The innovators are different.

No matter how much Li Yao despises Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, and deeply fears his intrigues, he has to admit that Wu Yingqi, Li Linghai and even all reformers have their own ideas, doctrines and spirits.

At least 50% of the innovators fight not for their own interests, but for something higher, for the new empire they believe in.

This is a new army with the heart of Tao. When encountering an old army without the heart of Tao, such as the army of electing emperors and Marquises, it is doomed to crush each other with rolling wheels.

Man, no matter what level of cultivation you reach, no matter how powerful your combat power is, you still have to have a little spirit.

The electors are not destined to be the opponents of the reformers. Perhaps only the federal army with the same moral heart and even more firm will be able to compete with the "new imperial army" under Wu Yingqi.

At this time, the whole defense line was like an avalanche peak, with a deafening roar, and gradually retreated.

Countless soldiers of the emperor and Marquis army chose to kneel down and surrender or "battlefield uprising". However, many people who were in debt or had a lot of interests in the family territory chose to flee back to the urban area of Lingfeng City, trying to seize a glimmer of life and find a star ship to escape.

The soldiers and grass-roots officers on both sides of the fierce battle were equipped with imperial crystal armor, but the innovators had a war emblem on their breastplate. Li Yao and others quietly broke off the war emblem, and then switched the mode of IFF system. They were mixed up in the chaos of the rout. Everyone was running for their lives. Who had time to pay attention to them?

Half an hour later, they successfully entered the urban area of Lingfeng city.

This is another, perhaps more bloody and terrifying hell on earth.

The news of the collapse of the defense line has long been spread. The city has been under the high-pressure rule of the great nobility for more than half a month. The order of the city has completely collapsed, and everyone is rushing to the Lingfeng tunnel.

Their eyes are red, their voice is hoarse and their teeth are flailing. They are like a mixture of zombies and ferocious animals, striving for the final life.

There are also countless people who are thin and know that they will never be able to get on the Starship. They give up hope, but stand or squat on the street like walking corpses, looking at the sky and around them in confusion, as if they are so lost that they don't know why they came here, and even forget who they are.

Li Yao saw countless such people, most of them were luxurious, jeweled, elegant women, and some elderly people who could hold power but were old and weak.

Xiaoming and Wenwen even identified several famous stars through facial information scanning.

"These people who stand on the roadside like walking dead turned out to be very powerful literary and artistic cultivators. They are the famous stars of the Empire."

Xiaoming and Wenwen said, "I didn't expect that even they couldn't get on the boat."

"Literature and art type, management type, research type and creative type are the same. They can only play their role when the social order is in good operation."

Looking at the pale and pale faces of these former stars, Li Yao sighed, "when the order collapses and returns to the bloody forest where meat is weak and food is strong, only the most simple and direct violence is the only power!"

Sure enough, there are also some big stars or high-ranking management type immortals, or seduction, or money to buy, or begged those fighting type immortals to fight with them and rush to Lingfeng tunnel.

No matter how many people think about his face and how many contracts he has signed with his hands, he is worthless now.

There are even a lot of low-level fighting immortals, who know that they are doomed to have no chance to board the evacueing star ship. They simply put their hearts on the line, whistling the slogan of "battlefield uprising, reforming Empire", and gathered together to become chaotic troops, engaging in the activities of looting, burning, killing and looting.

Since they have made up their mind not to leave, these big stars and big bosses who carry a lot of wealth with them will naturally become their best prey. Before the power of the innovators has really invaded Lingfeng City, the city has been burning with smoke, screams, grim laughter and blood tearing sound.

"I finally understand why Wu Yingqi has stayed in Lingfeng city for so long."

Li Yao and long Yangjun killed a group of disorderly soldiers who dare to rob them, and said to each other, "on the one hand, they are used to train soldiers, but on the other hand, they also hope that there will be chaos in Lingfeng city first.

"The civil strife in Lingfeng city is the epitome of the imperial territory of the fourth general election. If a great nobleman pats his ass and leaves, there will be ninety-nine middle and low-level immortals who can't leave. These" abandoned "people will not hesitate to throw themselves into the arms of the reformers and become the most loyal reformers under the intense jealousy and hatred.

"Even when what happened here was spread to all parts of Xinghai by Wu Yingqi and Li Linghai in various ways, especially in the territory of the four general election emperors and Marquises, what would the middle and low-level immortals in the territory think?

"When people's hearts are dispersed, it's hard for the team to take. Wu Yingqi surrounded Lingfeng city for a month, but he didn't attack it in order to strike hard at the" hearts "of the four emperors and marquis in the general election."

"But now, the city is broken."

Long Yangjun looked back at the porous defense line on the edge of the city, "we must speed up, or when a large number of nobles crowd in the Lingfeng tunnel and find that there are not enough starships, we can really do something like" I can't go, no one wants to go! "
