Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"Marshal, General Nangong has just arrived. There should at least be a banquet..."

Generals generally don't receive this kind of treatment. It's already quite an achievement to have someone host a welcoming feast for them.

But everyone wasn't stupid; they could all see that this young General Nangong was no ordinary person.

Just because a general doesn't have it doesn't mean that other people don't.

Just like now, Marshal Qian looked at Li Changqing and asked casually, "What does General Nangong think?"

It gives the impression that Li Changqing is the boss and he is the subordinate.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war; there's no time to waste. Since the soldiers are already fully equipped and ready, let's set off tonight."

Tonight?

The generals of the Zhennan Army were dumbfounded.

When did mobilizing a large army to attack a city become so casual?

"Then let's do as General Nangong says. Tonight, we'll mobilize 3 troops and march on Linhai City."

The first target is Linhai, the largest of the ten cities occupied by the Great Banner.

Located near the mouth of the Huanglong River, it boasts a highly developed commerce and a large population.

After the Great Qi Dynasty occupied the area, it also regarded this place as their most important stronghold.

The headquarters, which crossed the Huanglong River, was located in Linhai City.

Once that city falls, the remaining nine cities simply won't be able to hold out.

Or rather, this was Marshal Qian's true purpose.

After all, if other cities were chosen, preparations could be made in advance in Linhai City.

With this forward command center in place, their attempt to capture ten cities will inevitably encounter many more twists and turns.

Therefore, attacking Linhai City seems to be the best option.

Of course, this is also the most difficult choice.

Given the importance of Linhai City, the Great Qi Dynasty naturally attached great importance to it.

They deployed a large number of soldiers and powerful martial artists in Linhai City.

If we launch a surprise attack on them first, the Great Zhou will suffer considerable losses.

Even so, Li Changqing was deeply moved when he saw the soldiers assigned to him.

Each of them wore an expression of resignation to their fate.

The recapture of ten cities has become a major concern for the public.

The soldiers of the Zhennan Army have always been at the forefront.

Their homeland, visible to the naked eye, is now flying the flag of the Great Qi.

I watch it every day, every single day.

How could they possibly accept that?

So as long as there is an opportunity, no matter how slim that opportunity may be.

They will all drive out the traitors of Daqi and regain control of these ten cities.

Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally won't let it slip by.

"Send an elite squad to follow me. Once we succeed, the main force will follow."

Li Changqing chose Niu Dashan as his partner and put him in charge of the main force.

He himself acted as the vanguard of the sneak attack.

"General Nangong, you must tell me, what are you planning to do?"

Niu Dashan was in a daze.

"We'll signal you once we succeed. All you have to do is lead your men in."

After making the arrangements, Li Changqing immediately led more than 100 elite soldiers to lie in ambush.

On the city wall, soldiers of the Great Qi were patrolling.

They didn't observe very carefully, but that's not a big problem.

From the soldiers' perspective, as long as there was no sudden attack from a large army, they were safe.

They are not afraid of anyone at all.

Because they weren't observing carefully, and Li Changqing was leading his men along the base of the city wall, even though he was followed by more than a hundred soldiers at the Innate Realm or above.

They were still not discovered by the people of Daqi.

Until they began to approach the city gate.

"General?"

Following behind Li Changqing, they were also completely bewildered.

What was their purpose in quietly arriving at the gates of Linhai City late at night?

This gate is made of specially made wood wrapped in iron sheets, and each gate alone weighs seven or eight thousand kilograms.

The two large doors together weighed 15,000 to 16,000 jin (approximately

While this gate cannot compare to the city walls, it is certainly not one that can be opened casually.

If any martial artist could open it, then this gate would have no purpose.

Li Changqing turned around and said softly to the soldiers, "Stand back a bit, I need to get to work."

More than a hundred elite soldiers began to slowly retreat.

Once they had retreated to a certain position, the Qi soldiers on patrol suddenly lowered their heads.

"Someone's there!"

Upon hearing this, his companion immediately leaned closer and looked down.

The area below the city wall was completely empty.

The moonlight was hazy, and the starlight was sparse.

In this situation, it's already difficult for them to see clearly.

Now, after careful observation, he still couldn't see anyone.

"Don't make a fuss. Our city gates have three layers, inside and out. Even if someone managed to sneak through the first layer, it wouldn't matter. Besides, there's no one here."

It was precisely because of these three layers of protection that the Qi soldiers felt so at ease during their patrols.

The soldier who first discovered the Great Zhou soldiers also subconsciously touched the back of his head.

He clearly saw several figures just now.

Why did those figures disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye?

Just as he was thinking this, all the elite troops below the city wall hid in the corner.

They wore black armor that did not reflect light even when the moonlight and starlight shone on them.

Once they crouched in the corner, given the visibility, the Qi soldiers would have no chance of spotting them.

"You dodged it!"

"It should be."

At that moment, the soldiers of the Great Zhou felt their hearts leap into their throats.

The next second, their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths.

fine……

Just as everyone was secretly rejoicing, Li Changqing held the Peerless Overlord Spear, his gaze as cold as ice.

At this moment, all he can unleash is the realm and cultivation of a Grandmaster.

In terms of skill, he could easily crush other grandmasters.

Even when facing three grandmasters of the military at the same time, Li Changqing was not afraid in the slightest.

However, the power of a Grandmaster is limited.

In terms of strength, the power that Li Changqing can unleash is not much different from that of other peak grandmasters.

How could he break through the city gate in this situation?

Li Changqing stared at the spear in his hand, took a deep breath, and pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth.

At that moment, the Grandmaster-level true energy erupted from his body, surging wildly.

The Peerless Overlord Spear in his hand emitted a chilling black light.

"Overlord Spear, sweeping away a thousand armies!"

The Grandmaster's true energy that had been accumulating throughout his body erupted completely.

Li Changqing felt as if the Peerless Overlord Spear in his hand had suddenly gained its own consciousness.

It burst forth with an even more dazzling black light.

In that instant, Li Changqing felt as if a ten-zhang giant was standing behind him.

The giant, also wielding the Overlord Spear, swept it across the city gate.

"boom!"

The first city gate was blown away.

Then comes the second layer, the third layer...

The garrison of Linhai City was indeed very cautious. They even had three layers of defenses at the city gates…

But this still couldn't stop Li Changqing.

The six massive city gates were blasted directly into the city.

The soldiers of Daqi were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
