The defense area where Song Hongchang, the leader of the "Nurting Waves Sect" is stationed, is just one point on a long defense line. .
The reformists had long instigated the rebellion of their deputy, Zhang Guanglong.
Knowing that this was the weakest point, they deployed a large number of elites here.
The several consecutive rounds of charges just now were just feints.
Until now, Song Hongchang's men were shaken by psychological tactics, especially those of the Nutao Sect who were kept in the dark.
The entire defense area was in an uproar.
There were really many people who "uprising on the battlefield" when Reform The elite of the faction jumped out and launched the most determined assault!
The elites of these assaults were mostly the backbone of the deep-sea fleet and the few veterans of the Royal Forest Army, or casual cultivators who had blood feuds with the four Elector families.
They were by no means comparable to the fish-belly troops that had just attacked.
They were like a red-hot wolf fang, piercing through the defense line of the Elector Army at once.
The pierced elector army completely lost its will to fight, and collapse and chaos spread instantly like a chain reaction of crystal bombs.
Countless ordinary soldiers of the Elector Army, under the leadership of grassroots officers, really turned their swords and guns towards the middle and high-level commanders.
Especially the top commander of this defense zone, Song Hongchang, the master of the Furious Wave Sect, went from a majestic general to a rat on the street in an instant, and everyone shouted for beatings.
"Catch Song Hongchang, catch Song Hongchang!"
Real and fake cheers echoed over the battlefield.
The old imperial battle flags representing the four Electoral families were crumbling in the gunfire, and were torn into thousands of strands and turned into ashes in a short time.
A brand new imperial reform flag replaced it, rising slowly over the battlefield.
Above the battle flag, blazing flames licked the entire world!
Naturally, Li Yao and others would not let go of such a great opportunity.
They got mixed up in this surging "mudslide" and rushed into and passed through the Elector Army's defense zone.
The entire defense line of the Elector's Army is nearly a hundred kilometers long and dozens of kilometers deep.
Song Hongchang is only in charge of one section.
Even if it completely collapses, it will take some time.
In many trenches and bunkers, face-to-face headshot shooting or hand-to-hand combat continued, but the war was one-sided.
The reformists were so powerful that they destroyed everything, and the soldiers were like crazy and invincible.
However, the Elector's army was demoralized and soulless.
Many troops dispersed at the slightest contact, or fell to their knees and surrendered one after another. , even as soon as they saw the appearance of the revolutionary battle flag, they all pointed their swords and guns at their commanders and started a "battlefield uprising."
Li Yao walked forward while observing the battle situation, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
Isn't this small city-breaking battle a microcosm of the empire's current trend?
In terms of overall strength, the number of soldiers, and even the average quality of the troops, the Elector Army is significantly higher than the Reformists.
As the main force of the Reformists, the Royal Forest Army has not experienced any bloody or fierce battles for hundreds of years.
It is completely superficial.
Looks like goods.
However, the biggest difference between the two sides is the "Tao Heart".
Taoist heart is something that every cultivator often talks about, but when asked carefully, it may not be clear.
It is elusive, mysterious and mysterious.
In Li Yao's view, Taoism is very simple, nothing more than ideas, principles and spirit.
A cultivator must have a Taoist heart so that his strength can have a direction to move forward.
Similarly, an army composed of countless cultivators must have a solid Taoist heart in order to exert 100% combat effectiveness.
The so-called Elector Army, no matter how powerful it is on paper, no matter how arrogant and impressive it is, it is still a traditional, backward, and thoroughly decadent old-style army.
The top leaders of this army are selfish, have insatiable desires, and have no sense of shame or morality.
They will betray their country for the sake of their family, and they will betray their family for themselves.
Their ideas, principles, and spirits are just tiger skins for their personal gain, and no one will do it. really.
As for the bottom, they are either deceived by their "tiger skin", or they are bribed by them with petty profits and collude with them, or they are coerced by their violence and are unwilling to sacrifice their lives for them.
Such an old-style army, no matter how strong it is, no matter how vast its territory, no matter how many starships and soldiers it has, it doesn't matter, it's just a loose sand, or a loose sand that repels each other!

The reformists are different.
No matter how much Li Yao despises the character of Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi and is deeply wary of his machinations, Li Yao has to admit that Wu Yingqi, Li Linghai and even all the reformists have and firmly believe in their own ideas and doctrine and spirit.
At least 50% of the reformists were fighting not for their own selfish interests, but for something higher, for the new empire they believed in.
This is a new-style army with a Taoist heart.
When it encounters an old-style army without a Taoist heart like the Elector Army, it is destined to crush the opponent with rolling wheels.
People, no matter what level of cultivation they reach, no matter how powerful the combat power they control, they still have to have some spirit after all.
The Elector Army is destined not to be an opponent of the reformists.
Perhaps, only the Federal Army, which has the same Taoist heart and is even more determined, can compete with these "new emperors" under Wu Yingqi's command.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
At this time, the entire defense line was like an avalanche of mountains, making a deafening roar and gradually retreating.
Countless soldiers of the Elector Army chose to kneel down and surrender or "uprising on the battlefield", but there were also many people who had heavy blood debts or still had a lot of interests in their family territories, and chose to flee back to Lingfeng City, trying to catch them.
With a slim chance of survival, find a starship to escape.
The soldiers and junior officers on both sides of the fierce battle were all equipped with imperial standard crystal armor, except that the reformers had an extra battle emblem on their breastplates.
Li Yao and others quietly broke off the battle emblem, and then switched the mode of the Identification Friend or Foe system. , mixed in the chaos of the defeated troops, everyone is focused on running for their lives, who has 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.
News of the collapse of the defense line had already come.
The city's order, which had been maintained for more than half a month by the high-pressure rule of the nobles, completely collapsed.
Everyone rushed towards the Lingfeng Tunnel.
Their eyes were red, their voices were hoarse, and they were showing their teeth and claws.
They were like a mixture of zombies and ferocious beasts, desperately fighting for their last chance of survival.
There are also countless people who are weak and know that they will never squeeze into the starship and have given up hope.
Instead, they stand or squat on the street like walking zombies, looking at the sky and surroundings in confusion, as if they are so lost that they don't know why they are here.
I even forgot who I was.
Li Yao saw countless such people, most of them were luxuriously dressed, jeweled, graceful and luxurious women, and some were elders who could be seen as holding great power, but were old and frail.
Xiao Ming and Wenwen even identified several very famous celebrities through facial information scanning.
"These people standing on the roadside like zombies turn out to be very powerful literary and artistic immortal cultivators, and are well-known stars in the empire!"
Xiao Ming and Wen Wen said, “I didn’t expect that even they couldn’t get on the boat.”
"Whether it's the literary or artistic type, the management type, the research type or the creative type, they can only play their role when the social order is running well."
Li Yao looked at the pale faces of these former big stars, and sighed, "When the order collapses and the jungle returns to the bloody forest where the weak eat the strong, only the purest and most direct violence will be the only solution." strength!"
Sure enough, there are also some big stars or high-ranking management-type immortal cultivators who are either seduced by their beauty, bribed with money, or begging those fighting-type immortal cultivators to fight their way to the Lingfeng Tunnel with them. go.
But the fighting immortal cultivator kicked them away mercilessly.
No matter how many people thought about that face, or how many big contracts those hands had signed, it was worthless now.
There were even many low-level combat-type immortal cultivators who knew that they were destined to have no chance to board the evacuated starship.
They simply changed their minds and shouted the slogan of "uprising on the battlefield, revolutionizing the empire", and gathered together and turned into chaos.
The army took advantage of the fire to loot, burn, kill and loot.
Since they have made up their mind not to leave, these big stars and big bosses who carry a lot of wealth with them naturally become their best prey.
Before the power of the reformists has truly invaded Lingfeng City, the city is already burning and smoke is billowing. , screams, ferocious laughter and the sound of flesh and blood tearing became a mess.
"I finally understand why Wu Yingqi stayed in Lingfeng City for so long."
Li Yao and Long Yangjun killed a group of rebel soldiers who dared to rob them, and said to each other, "On the one hand, it is for training troops, but on the other hand, he also hopes that there will be chaos within Lingfeng City first.
"The civil strife in Lingfeng City is the epitome of the four Electoral Princes' territories.
When a big noble leaves, he will leave behind ninety-nine middle- and low-level immortal cultivators who cannot leave.
And these 'abandoned' people , will definitely throw themselves into the arms of the reformists without hesitation under the strong jealousy and hatred, and become the most die-hard and loyal reformers.
"Even when everything that happens here is spread to all parts of the Star Sea by Wu Yingqi and Li Linghai in various ways, especially the territories of the four elector families, what will the middle and low-level immortal cultivators in the territories think?
"When the people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the troops.

Wu Yingqi surrounded Lingfeng City for a month without attacking, but it was to severely attack the 'people's hearts' of the four electorate princes!"
"But now, the city is broken."
Long Yangjun looked back at the defense line that was riddled with holes on the edge of the city, "We must speed up, otherwise when a large number of nobles crowd in the Lingfeng Tunnel, only to find that there are not enough starships, we will really be able to do 'I can't leave, and no one can Don't even think about leaving!"
