Chapter 787 Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight!
At the same time, on the battlefield outside the imperial capital.
The battle between the Imperial Army and the Rebel Army has entered a fierce stage.
Both sides were completely red-eyed. They kept waving their weapons and fought fiercely with the enemy.
There was no thought left in their minds, except for one thought: Kill, kill, kill!
Although the rebels were brave and useless, their military strength could never catch up with the imperial army. The battle quickly turned against the imperial army, and the rebels were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back.
Although the rebels were beaten back steadily, they were still brave and had no intention of retreating. They vowed to fight the enemy to the bitter end and fight to the death.
When the rebel army was about to be completely defeated, the imperial army's horn to retreat suddenly sounded.
When they heard the clarion call to retreat, the Imperial Army officers and soldiers looked confused, and those who didn't know thought they heard it wrong.
"Retreat? Why...why?"
"We are obviously going to win this war soon! Why should we withdraw at this time?"
"No...it can't be the enemy's plot, right?"
When all the officers and soldiers of the imperial army were confused, a general covered in blood suddenly appeared on the city wall.
After seeing this general covered in blood, all the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army looked shocked.
Because the general covered in blood was their imperial marshal.
In the Yanxue Empire, the Imperial Marshal is the most powerful man after the Emperor. In the hearts of the Imperial Army officers, he is like a god of war.
They simply couldn't imagine what kind of enemy could defeat the Imperial Marshal, whom they regarded as the God of War, into what he is now.
The Imperial Marshal immediately conveyed what he wanted to say to all the Imperial Army officers and soldiers present using his vitality voice: "The Imperial Army obeys the order, and the entire army will withdraw from the Imperial Capital immediately. It must be carried out without delay. This is the order of Emperor Yanxue!"
After the Imperial Marshal said this, he took out a square jade seal.
That was Emperor Yanxue's imperial seal. The fact that the Imperial Marshal was able to take out this jade seal showed that this order was indeed issued by Emperor Yanxue himself.
But why did Emperor Yanxue issue such a seemingly absurd order?
Full of doubts and puzzlements, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army abandoned hundreds of thousands of corpses and followed the Imperial Marshal to withdraw like a tide.
The rebels, who were already in danger, regained a new lease of life after the Imperial Army withdrew. They raised their weapons to fight back against the Imperial Army, chasing the Imperial Army all the way and wiping out tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers.
After paying the price of tens of thousands of soldiers, the imperial army finally successfully withdrew from the imperial capital.
The rebels rushed directly into the imperial capital and rushed directly to the palace.
When the rebels arrived at the palace, they found that the royal family members were no longer in the palace, leaving only a large group of unidentified people fighting fiercely in the palace.
"Are these people from the Assassination Society? Why are they here?"
"Who are the people who are fighting with the Assassination Society? They don't look like the Imperial Army, nor do they look like Ouchi experts in the palace!"
"No matter what, their numbers are not large, let's attack directly and capture the palace first!"
The two deputy leaders of the rebel army directly led the remaining hundreds of thousands of rebel troops into the palace like headless flies.
Seeing that the Lihuo Cult was about to be defeated by the Assassination Society, the sudden intrusion of the rebel forces instantly disrupted the original situation.
For a time, the three forces of the Assassination Society, the Lihuo Cult, and the rebel army fought fiercely in the palace. The entire palace was destroyed beyond recognition by them, and the magnificent buildings collapsed one after another, completely reduced to ruins.
While the three parties were fighting in the palace, Prince Nangong and Zhu Liya had already withdrawn from the imperial capital with Yan Xue and the seriously injured Emperor Yan Xue, and were heading straight towards Lin Yun's location.
Lin Yun's plan this time was to temporarily withdraw the Imperial Army from the Imperial Capital. Let the three forces of the Assassination Society, the Lihuo Cult, and the Rebel Army fight for control of the Imperial Capital, while the Imperial Army would just sit back and watch the fight.
After the three forces fight, two of them will be destroyed, and the remaining force will also be greatly weakened. At this time, if the imperial army goes back to reap the benefits, it can easily take back the imperial capital.
Although the Assassination Society, the Lihuo Cult, and the Rebel Army were all instigated by Ouyang Xiu to become enemies of the enemy's army, they all worked on their own and had no cooperative relationship.
So when they compete for the same thing, they will inevitably start a war with each other. Even Ouyang Xiu has no way to control this.
Prince Nangong and Julia are naturally very aware of Lin Yun's plan.
After Prince Nangong rescued Emperor Yanxue, he told Emperor Yanxue about Lin Yun's plan.
Emperor Yanxue felt that this plan was feasible, so he handed the imperial seal to the imperial marshal and asked the imperial marshal to order the imperial army to retreat.
It is precisely because of this that the ridiculous scene just occurred.
Under the leadership of Prince Nangong and Zhu Liya, Yan Xue and Emperor Yan Xue soon arrived among the mountains a hundred miles away, where Lin Yun and others were located.
After seeing Lin Yun, Emperor Yanxue hurriedly bowed gratefully and solemnly thanked Lin Yun: "Thanks to my little brother for saving me today, otherwise our Yanxue Empire will cease to exist after today!"
Lin Yun waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "You're welcome so early. My help to you is not in vain. I also have some things that I need your help after this incident is over."
Emperor Yanxue hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Little brother, just ask for anything, as long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Lin Yun said very freely: "There is no need to go through fire and water, I just want you to find something. What you are looking for will be discussed later. Now let's analyze the current situation first..."
Lin Yun was like an excellent strategist. He analyzed Emperor Yanxue's current situation in the Yanxue Empire so clearly that Emperor Yanxue had to look at him with admiration and couldn't help praising Lin Yun.
After Lin Yun analyzed the current situation, the Imperial Marshal also led hundreds of thousands of Imperial troops to the mountain where Lin Yun was located to join them.
Lin Yun counted the approximate number of imperial troops, and then said to Emperor Yanxue and the imperial marshal: "Now let everyone rest here for a few hours. We will set out to retake the imperial capital tonight!"
Lin Yun knew very well that with the lineup of the three parties, the battle would almost be over by dusk.
At that time, it was also the time when they were most exhausted. So it was the best time for the imperial army to dispatch and recapture the imperial capital!
