Chapter 353 Surrounding the Palace
"Zhong Xiang, do you think we can defend the imperial capital?"
In the imperial study of the Tianpeng Kingdom Palace, Qiu Tongbai was looking at Prime Minister Zhong Wanda with a worried face.
Qiu Tongbai, who is in the imperial study, can clearly hear the sounds of killing from outside the palace.
He knew that the Great Zhou army had begun to attack the city.
Accompanied by the noise of killing, the palace became in chaos. Many palace maids and eunuchs even sneaked out of the palace, and the concubines in the harem began to secretly prepare for gold, silver and jewelry, preparing to flee.
Qiu Tongbai saw all this, but he no longer had the heart to take care of it.
At this moment, he felt extremely sad. He had been the crown prince for thirty years and did not ascend to the throne until he was close to fifty years old. Unexpectedly, he had just been in such a desperate situation after he inherited the throne for three months.
But he never thought that it was himself who caused this situation. If he hadn't been greedy for the Jiuyou Raw Stone in Longtan Mountain and sent a large army to attack the Great Zhou, how could Xiao Chen take revenge on him?
Zhong Wanda, who had an old face, also had a hint of sadness on his face, but he still comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, General Ye's subordinates are commanding 250,000 troops to defend the city, and he will definitely block the Great Zhou army outside the city!"
"And our scouts have been sent for three days. The king-fighting troops from all over the country are rushing to the imperial capital. When they arrive at the imperial capital, we will win this battle."
Zhong Wanda was comforting Qiu Tongbai, and at the same time, he was comforting himself. The 250,000 troops in the imperial capital and the 250,000 troops in various places could not stop the 400,000 troops in the Great Zhou?
What they didn't know was that the steel defense line built by the imperial capital was broken in a short while.
Qiu Tongbai heard this and said with a wry smile: "Zhong Xiang, the city is in chaos now. I think your Prime Minister's Mansion should have a lot of things to deal with. You should go back first!"
Zhong Wanda did not refuse, and then surrendered. At this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion also needed him to go back and take charge of the overall situation.
...
"Stop it and don't retreat!"
In front of the northern gate of the imperial capital, looking at the unstoppable Huolin Army rushing into the city, Ye Tianyuan, who was hit by an arrow, did not care about the injuries on his body, broke the tail of the arrow on his left chest with a sword, and then jumped down from the city and rushed towards Li Cunxiao first.
The determination to defend the imperial capital and his anger towards Li Cunxiao made Ye Tianyuan fearless.
"charge!"
Looking at Ye Tianyuan who was rushing towards him, Li Cunxiao, who had already entered the city, was certainly even more fearless and came forward alone.
This place is worthy of being the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom. Although the defenders temporarily replenished many civilians, their combat effectiveness is still good and they can be called elite.
The moment the Fire Lin Legion rushed in, the soldiers who were not killed by the Hundred War Gods Mechanical Crossbow immediately began a fierce counterattack.
Many bows and arrows shot down, causing a lot of losses to the Huolin Legion, and dozens of people died in a blink of an eye.
However, these people only had time to shoot a wave of arrow rain, and then were covered by denser arrow rain.
After all, these people were just residual troops and could not conduct organized attacks like the Fire Lin Legion. The 50,000 Fire Lin Legion first suppressed the formation with arrows, and then the cavalry charged.
Because of the need to defend the city, most of the defenders in the imperial capital chose to abandon their horses and fight in the infantry battle. At this moment, they had no power to resist the cavalry of the Great Zhou.
In a blink of an eye, it was already slaughtered by the Fire Lin Legion.
Ye Tianyuan was also cut off his head by Li Cunxiao's King of Yu Spear. He was in the Wuhou realm and had no ability to resist in front of Li Cunxiao.
"General Li, I see that your place is going well, so Zhang Han won't stay for a long time. I'll go and greet someone!"
Seeing Li Cunxiao kill Ye Tianyuan, Zhang Han in the air smiled indifferently, but Li Cunxiao was shocked.
Could it be that the person who can let Zhang Han greet him in person...
Li Cunxiao was about to confirm with Zhang Han, but Zhang Han had disappeared in the air.
...
"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good!" Qiu Tongbai was nervous in the imperial study alone when he suddenly heard the voice of the imperial guards outside.
"What happened?" Qiu Tongbai said angrily, and a trace of bad feeling arose in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the army of Great Zhou is here!"
"What?"
Qiu Tongbai was shocked as soon as he stood up and pushed open the hall door with a bang.
"The evil words confuse the crowd. My emperor has more than 200,000 troops stationed. How could they invade in so quickly?"
"Yes, it's true. One of the other's powerful men used only one palm and broke the city gate!"
boom!
Qiu Tongbai felt his head shaking, his figure took two steps back, and his whole eyes were dark.
He had known for a long time that there were many peerless masters with strong strength in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he did not expect these people to be so strong.
He knew very well how strong the gate of the imperial capital was. Even if the strong Wushun attacked with all his strength for a day, it would be difficult to break it, but now it was broken by someone's palm.
It is hard to imagine how strong this person must be.
"Hurry, transfer the army to defend the palace and order people to inform Ye Tianyuan and return to the defense palace!"
Although he was panicked, Qiu Tongbai still understood what to do at this time and made arrangements immediately.
But he didn't know that Ye Tianyuan had been killed by Li Cunxiao at this time.
"yes!"
After the Imperial Guards left, Qiu Tongbai said anxiously: "It seems that we can only ask our ancestors to take action, otherwise no one can stop the strong man of the Great Zhou!"
Thinking of this, Qiu Tongbai hurriedly ran deep into the palace, where two royal ancestors were in seclusion.
...
The war in the imperial capital ended very quickly. Ye Tianyuan was instantly killed by Li Cunxiao, and the defenders were almost slaughtered by the Huolin Theater Troupe. The imperial capital had completely fallen.
Hao Meng and Zang Ba led the army and were ordered to occupy the East and West Gate, and the progress was also very smooth.
"General, now three of the four city gates have been in our hands, and only the North Gate has not been occupied yet!"
"Don't worry, there is Fengxiao leading a 50,000 army there, and no one flies can fly out!"
Li Cunxiao had a smile on his face and said, "Order all the troops to eliminate the remaining enemies quickly and come here to meet!"
"yes!"
Half an hour later, the Fire Lin Legion that had entered the imperial capital gathered together like a torrent.
After the nearby 30,000 Huolin Army arrived, Li Cunxiao led them slowly towards the palace of the Tianpeng Kingdom.
The people in the royal capital hid at home and saw such a large army, and they were all so scared that they dared not come out.
This time, the Great Zhou Empire really established an invincible reputation in the hearts of these people.
Another half an hour later, Li Cunxiao led the army outside the palace.
He looked at the soldiers on the palace walls and shouted loudly: "In the name of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, lead a hundred thousand troops to capture the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom!"
"This general is Li Cunxiao, the chief general of the Huolin Army. Give me some time to stay in Xiang. Those who surrender will be exempted from death if they open the gate of the palace!"
"When the army dares to disobey the power of heaven, the army will rush into the palace, and you will be crushed to pieces! Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
The Huolin Legion shouted these three words neatly, and the sound of the sea was shaking the sky, which scared the guards of the Tianpeng Kingdom Palace so pale, and those who were timid were already wet their pants.
