Chapter 704: The troops approach the city and attack the imperial city
"Misunderstanding? The prince's troops are about to arrive in Kyoto! His sons have turned against him one after another! If he is such a good emperor, why are his sons like this?"
"That's right. There is King Qin in front of you and there is the Prince in the back. I heard that those knights in the world were all recruited by His Highness Prince Jing. It seems that he also wants a share of the pie!"
"Oh, who can tell clearly about the royal family? It's none of our business in the first place. After all, the one who is fighting for the throne is still a Shang, and it's not our turn! But that dog emperor shouldn't do it at all.
You should never kill Marshal Xiao and General Danying for the sake of the country!"
"That's right! We don't believe in the Dog Emperor! Open the city gate quickly! Welcome His Royal Highness into the city!"
"Yes! Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
The voices of the people became louder and louder.
Until, there was a heavy creaking sound from the city gate.
Hundreds of Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes flew from the distant sky, leaving behind brilliant streams of light in the sky wherever they passed.
The leading man was wearing a mask so his appearance could not be clearly seen, but his aura was particularly eye-catching.
Beside him is a blond man, especially his pair of cyan pupils, which allows people to guess his identity at a glance.
The eldest disciple of the national master Luo Sheng, Huaiyang!
They passed through the city gate and flew towards the palace.
"Is that Taoist Huaiyang? Then the man next to him is the legendary national master Luo Sheng?"
"You don't look that old! It shouldn't be."
Royal Palace.
Royal study room.
Luo Sheng led Huaiyang into the Imperial Study Room. Shang Yu retreated to the left and right. He lost his imperial aura, raised his hands to the Imperial Preceptor and said, "Master Imperial Preceptor."
"I already know everything about the recent events. Everything happened because of Su Zhen."
"Please ask the Imperial Master to find out that Su Zhen and kill her!" Shang Yuzhen felt itchy with hatred when he mentioned Su Zhen.
Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows and smiled with unknown meaning: "She traveled from west to east, and I guess she will arrive in Kyoto tomorrow."
"From west to east? Xiliang? Did she come here with Huo Ji?"
"good."
"Please also ask the Imperial Master to lend a helping hand and cast a spell to help me, Luo Qi, pacify the rebels!"
Luo Sheng took a sip of the tea in his cup: "Your Majesty, is there any whereabouts of the person Pindao asked you to find?"
Shang Yujie, who had always been aloof, lowered his head humbly and said: "Sir, I'm sorry, we don't have any clues yet."
Luo Sheng rubbed his fingers on the edge of the tea cup, glanced out the window, and said casually: "Does the Emperor know who Su Zhen was in her previous life?"
"Previous life? Please ask the National Master to clarify this."
"She is the number one demon master in the six realms, Jinse, who can control thousands of demons."
"What? She can control demons?!"
Shang Yujie's heart suddenly went cold. If Su Zhen were a mortal, she might not be able to defeat him if she really wanted to fight him.
However, a person who can control demons has absolutely no power to fight against them.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. She is a human being and will have emotions and desires. If she has emotions and desires, she will have weaknesses."
"What weakness?"
Luo Sheng smiled and took out an ice-blue jade pendant from his arms, with a faint amount of spiritual energy floating on the surface.
"This is ice chalcedony, which can transform into spiritual consciousness. Moreover, he also has a name, Jiang Wen."
The eleventh day of the first lunar month.
Outside the city of Kyoto, millions of soldiers and horses were already approaching the city.
Shang Yu frame asked Chu Zheng to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the rebels, but he missed the mark by one move. Unfortunately, Chu Zheng defected to Shang Yuchen before the battle.
The flying fine snow is like the white apricot blossoms in spring, falling on the soldiers' armor one after another.
Shangyu Chen and Bo Yixuan fought from Jiangdu to the east gate of Kyoto, while the south gate of Kyoto was surrounded by various sects and wandering knights.
In front of the Ximen City Gate, Huo Ji and Su Zhen arrived in time with the Xiliang army.
In front of the north gate, Chu Zheng was also ready to attack. He was just waiting for Shangyu Chen to give the order and he would attack the city immediately.
In front of the east gate, as Shangyu Chen raised his hand, a red signal flare rose into the air, and several tongues of flame flew towards the top of the tower.
‘Bang bang bang bang bang’
Accompanied by loud noises, a blazing fire broke out outside the east gate city wall, and tens of thousands of arrows flew towards the city tower.
Heavy artillery was also pushed forward. With the sound of cannons, the towering city wall collapsed, and the imperial guards fled in panic.
On the Ximen Tower, Qi Wan's petite body was bound by a chain. The golden light on her body had long since disappeared. She was beaten to pieces and was bleeding. She closed her eyes, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.
Su Zhen's eyes flashed, and before Huo Ji ordered to attack the city, she jumped onto the city wall and rescued Qi Wan.
After checking his breathing, he found that the person was still alive. He took him down and handed him over to the accompanying military doctor.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Ji and Chu Zheng ordered to attack the city at the same time, and they quickly attacked the west gate and the north gate.
Shortly after they entered the city, the south gate was also breached.
The people hid in their homes early, the streets were empty, and the soldiers with loud killing sounds were advancing towards the palace like a wave.
The two sides were fighting, weapons were clanging, spears and spears were flying, and fine arrows were flying down like locusts passing by, leaving corpses everywhere.
The flying snowflakes gradually turned into heavy snow, warm blood mixed with snow water, bright red and white snow intertwined, and the breath of death enveloped this once prosperous city.
Huo Ji was not only good at mechanism skills and proficient in troop formation, he was especially good at street fighting.
Most of the Imperial Guards in Kyoto are young men who come here to enjoy their military exploits. They usually idle around and rarely go to the military camp. Facing these soldiers who are fighting on the battlefield every day, they have no power to fight back.
Fortunately, Shangyu Chen ordered not to kill those who surrendered. Although the final casualties were not much better, at least they were not too heavy.
Around evening, the forces from all directions finally met in front of the palace gate.
The remaining 150,000 imperial troops in Kyoto are still engaged in a battle between trapped beasts. Although they know that they are bound to lose, their loyalty to Shang Yu frame still makes them insist on protecting the palace.
The original commander of the Forbidden Army, Xiao He, had long been dismissed. The new commander, Fang Shichu, was Xiao He's deputy general, but he deliberately framed Xiao He and sent him into exile, and now he has taken the position of the commander of the Forbidden Army.
Shangyu Chen's armor and the long sword in his hand were dripping with blood. He stared at Fang Shichu and shouted coldly: "Fang Shichu! Let me count to three! If you don't abandon your weapon and surrender, I will kill you without mercy! Three!"
"Ha! Shangyuchen! You are unfaithful to your minister! You are unfilial to your son!"
"two!"
"As a rebel! How dare you threaten this general to surrender?!"
"one!"
"Brothers! As long as the Imperial Master is here, Shangyu Chen will never do it."
‘Whoosh’
‘Puff’
An arrow streaked across the sky, and with the sound of the arrow entering his body, Fang Shichu was pierced through the heart by an arrow.
‘Tap tap tap tap tap’
"kill!!!!!!"
It's Xiao Chuhong! He came from Beirong with the Xiao family army!
As Fang Shichu fell, 50,000 Xiao family cavalry rushed towards the remaining 150,000 forbidden troops.
