In the island country of Kyoto, countless wealth is waiting for everyone. Naturally, Zeng Yi and the four will not let go of this opportunity. When the Northern Army reinforcements set off, the four of them followed and fought together to Kyoto, and followed the Northern Army into Kyoto.
Within the city.
As soon as the four people turned an intersection, several arrows were fired from both sides. The four people moved very quickly and immediately turned around to hide. Then they divided into two groups and rushed towards each other twice. After a while, several sounds of fighting were heard.
, then Zeng Yi calmly shook off the blood on his hands and walked out of the buildings on both sides.
"Made, it's a bit troublesome. If we keep fighting like this, we won't be able to completely annihilate the Kyoto defenders in a few days!"
"How about we suggest that the Northern Army be more ruthless and attack with fire!" The two bosses also walked out and said with frowns. The tens of thousands of Kyoto's defenders all withdrew into the city to fight with the Northern Army in the streets.
In addition, the Northern Army was completely unfamiliar with Kyoto, so it would waste a lot of time without taking a step forward.
"No, the situation in Kyoto is too complicated. If one thing is not done well, it will cause a chain reaction. If a fire breaks out, then our efforts will be in vain!" The situation in Kyoto is far more complicated than that in Osaka.
Osaka was attacked by the Northern Army at that time, and Osaka had almost no time to react. With the fire support of the navy, when Osaka was captured, none of the civilians in the city left. After the street fighting started, the Northern Army was attacked several times.
They were so ruthless that the civilians did not dare to hide the facts easily, and they quickly captured Osaka.
The situation in Kyoto is completely different from that in Osaka. The history of Kyoto is much longer than that of Osaka. Most of the troops living here are island nobles, and the Northern Army has been planning on conquering Kyoto for several days. It is not long but not short. The nobles in the city,
Although the family property could not be taken away, most of the important family members retreated secretly. If the Northern Army had not moved quickly enough, the emperor of the island country would have probably escaped.
There are almost no ordinary people in Kyoto today. These people will basically go all out when they see the Northern Army. And to be honest, the Northern Army is not willing to attack with fire. They are all nobles. The houses are obviously much better than those in Osaka Castle. If
If the fire is missing, the wealth inside will not be available.
After thinking for a moment, Zeng Yi said: "To capture the thief, capture the king first and capture the island emperor. If he threatens him, at least the island soldiers in the emperor's guard will definitely surrender. As long as they surrender, most of the problems will be solved.
Those noble retainers below me can be easily dealt with!"
"Although the island country built its city after the Central Plains, the palace was naturally modeled after the Central Plains Imperial Palace. Although the scale is much smaller, there are now thousands of guards of the island country's emperor gathered together, and there are still jonins to protect us. It's just the four of us.
There seem to be a few people there, right?"
"It's not that there are few people, it's that there are too few. It's impossible for four people to attack the palace even if it's strong. Let's go find the Northern Army and get a group of elites!"
The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army also found that the current advancement speed was too slow. He took some measures, but they only addressed the symptoms rather than the root cause. When he heard Zeng Yi said that he would lead a team to attack the island country's palace, without saying a word, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army directly dispatched his own troops.
The four pro-army and bodyguards led thousands of people and went straight to the island country's palace.
The Imperial Palace of the island nation is called the Kyoto Imperial Palace, which is located in Kyoto Prefecture of the island nation. It was originally built as the second palace of the emperor. Emperor Kanmu moved the capital from the old capital Nagaoka Kyo to this new capital and called it Heian Kyo.
The city wall of the Imperial Palace is no less than that of the Imperial Palace, and there is a moat around it. Four people led a team and went directly to the Imperial Palace Gate. The stone bridge on the moat had long been destroyed, and the suspension bridge had been pulled up. But this was difficult.
If you don't defeat Zeng Yi, don't forget Zeng Yi's halberd and archery skills.
He took out the Dragon Tongue Bow and shot a sharp arrow. It hit the rope holding the suspension bridge very accurately. The Imperial Guards of the island country obviously did not expect that such an arrow technique existed in the world. They watched the suspension bridge fall.
Everyone was shocked!
The Northern Army was also stunned for a moment, but they woke up immediately and rushed across the moat. They arrived in front of the Kenrei Gate. The Emperor's Guard, as a force that protects the emperor of the island country, actually has only a small number of people. The big names of the island country are also afraid of the emperor.
There are more armies, which affects their rule, so the number of troops is limited to a very low level. If the number is not enough, the emperor of the island country can only work hard on equipment. The equipment of these emperor's guards far exceeds that of the ordinary army of the island country, and even the Northern Army of the Central Plains.
Not comparable. To be honest, the Northern Army was a little worried when they first saw the Emperor's Guards.
However, when the Northern Army rushed to the Kenrei Gate and the soldiers of the Emperor's Guard began to use bows and arrows to fight back, the Northern Army was no longer so worried. The soldiers of the Emperor's Guard seemed to have quite luxurious equipment, but their archery skills were really poor.
It's just random shooting, with basically no accuracy.
At first, Zeng Yi and the other two were quite puzzled. They looked very powerful. How could they kill a bunch of idiots? Later they realized that these Emperor's Guards were well equipped but had no actual combat experience. Although the island country had experienced the Warring States Period, they were everywhere.
Fighting, but these have nothing to do with the emperor. Those daimyo will not attack the emperor at all. Soldiers with no actual combat experience and soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles are two completely different concepts. Moreover, the members of the emperor's guard in these island countries are all nobles.
My dear, the Emperor's Guard has completely become a place for nobles to brush up their qualifications. How can these people train so hard? They are basically just a good-looking honor guard with little combat effectiveness.
How could such a force be able to stop the elite soldiers of the Northern Army who had experienced many battles? When they discovered that the Imperial Guards of the island country were so incompetent, the morale of the Northern Army was greatly shaken. Under the leadership of Zeng Yi, they quickly attacked the city wall facing the enemy.
Hand-to-hand combat is the greatest test of an army's combat effectiveness. Under the fierce attack of the Northern Army, the Emperor's Guards were basically defeated at the first touch.
In less than half an hour, the Kenrei Gate of the Kyoto Imperial Palace in the island nation was breached by thousands of northern troops led by Zeng Yi. The northern army officially entered the imperial palace in the island nation.
"Look for the Emperor of the Island Country immediately, don't let him escape!" The Northern Army divided into several groups and searched for the Emperor of the Island Country.
The scale of the Kyoto Imperial Palace is not as large as that of the Central Plains Imperial Palace, but because it was built after the Central Plains Imperial Palace, it is still somewhat large. Zeng Yi and the four of them knew the Central Plains Imperial Palace very well, and they led a part of the Northern Army to attack the main hall of the Imperial Palace, the Zichen Hall.
.
Zichen Hall is the main place where emperors of all ages held enthronement ceremonies, festivals, court greetings and other major ceremonies. In the center of the hall, there is a high throne and an imperial dais, which are the thrones for the emperor and empress respectively when they hold enthronement ceremonies. However, at this time, there is no such thing here at all.
