Inside the East City Gate, the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry led by Nangong Yunfan and Qin Lan was still fighting with Nangong Lin's border army.

The seemingly impregnable thick city walls were crushed by several ** shells.

Nearly ten meters of the city wall collapsed, leaving a gap open enough, and the black-robed ghoul holding the AK took the lead in the charge.

The Tiger Tank Battalion, covering the border army, slowly advanced forward.

"These black-robed people are all ghouls raised by Mo, and the last order he gave was to obey Nangong Lin's arrangement, so these people will swear allegiance to Nangong Lin to the death. ”

Shells kept passing overhead, and the explosions were loud and noisy, and it was difficult to hear the sound of speech.

Qin Lan didn't care about the city tower, and hurriedly pulled Nangong Yunfan back and retreated.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the situation is critical, this random gun may injure you by mistake, please wait in the inner city for the time being, and leave the task of defending the city to the old minister." ”

AK vs. crossbow arrows is an advantage that borders on crushing.

Combined with the shelling of the Tiger tank.

The East City Tower was quickly destroyed, and the defenders were powerless.

The most elite Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry in the Imperial Capital can easily block bullets, and even ** artillery strikes and hand/mine/mine cannot destroy it.

However, the shock wave generated by the explosion was able to shock the people inside to death with the armor intact.

In front of the guns, the role of the Xuanjia is minimal, and only a whole corpse can be left.

"Don't let yourself go, abandon the inner city, retreat into the streets, and fight the rebels in the streets until they run out of ammunition. ”

Even the outer city wall a few meters thick can't stop the tiger's attack, and the inner wall, which is less than two feet, is naturally vulnerable.

Staying behind is also waiting for death.

Nangong Yunfan once overheard the conversation between Shuang Yi and Chen Feng, and learned that although these new weapons were powerful, they needed to be replenished with ammunition continuously.

As for what the ammunition is, he doesn't know, he hasn't figured it out yet.

Maybe it's something similar to True Qi, but guns can't be used continuously all the time.

"Qin Lan, isn't your Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry known as the Snow Country's Hero? The world's best, invincible, why is it now hiding in Tibet like a shrunken turtle, and not daring to fight with me in a bloody battle?"

Nangong Lin ordered the Tiger tank to raise the barrel of the gun, intending to bombard the inner city.

But before the black-robed ghoul could reload his ammunition, the defenders on the tower fled in a hurry and retreated to the streets behind as fast as they could, presumably preparing to engage him in a street fight.

"Commander Qin Lan, this is a radical method, don't fall for his plan, now take cold weapons and guns to fight hard, that is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, the new weapon has an absolute long-range advantage, but street fighting, can make up for the gap between swords, bows and crossbows and guns. ”

Nangong Yunfan was worried about Qin Lan's head, so he hurriedly stopped him.

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is the elite division of the empire, and it must not be buried outside the city in vain.

"Your Highness is too worried, the old minister has experienced a hundred battles, how can he act recklessly?"

Qin Lan clenched his sword tightly and led the Xuanjia heavy cavalry to retreat to the alley.

"Fighting in the streets, it is equivalent to dispersing the source of troops, and it will be broken one by one, I only have 80,000 border troops under my command, and I should kill Nangong Yunfan, and then take Luan Hall directly, forcing the emperor to abdicate. ”

Nangong Lin's thinking is very clear.

There are currently a million defenders in the city, there are 120,000 at the east gate alone, and Qin Lan's Xuanjia heavy cavalry, if you don't rely on new weapons, you will definitely not be able to attack it.

And once the street fighting starts, it loses the advantage of crushing weapons.

Nangong Lin knows all this.

"These old houses are really an eyesore, let the Tiger Battalion destroy them all. ”

The cannonballs rained in, leveling the alley in front of them, and Nangong Yunfan and Qin Lan were forced to continue to retreat.

"Your Highness, something is wrong!"

The chief eunuch of the Middle Palace hurriedly came to report that he was His Majesty's personal attendant of the Emperor.

Under normal circumstances, he would never leave the palace, but now he is on the front line under heavy artillery fire, it must be because there is more important information to be conveyed.

"Are you here to convey Your Majesty's message? It's so dangerous, just let the little eunuch come. ”

Qin Lan dragged the great eunuch of the Middle Palace behind the wall, "Please tell Your Majesty, don't worry too much, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are sure to wipe out all the rebels." ”

"Your Majesty, he ...... He's dead!"

"What are you talking about? Father and Emperor died? When did it happen? Nangong Lin has been pinned down by us at the East City Gate, could it be that he still has an internal response in the palace?" Nangong Yunfan's face was full of astonishment.

Nangong Wentian was born as a general, and he was close to the sixtieth year, but his body was tough and he had no serious illness.

The rebel Nangong Lin has a limited number of troops, so it is impossible to bypass the East City Gate and sneak attack the palace.

"After you and Commander Qin Lan left, four iron bumps suddenly smashed through the roof and fell into the Luan Palace, and the guards went to check on Na Bing Ge and knocked it a few times, but it suddenly exploded, destroying the entire hall.

His Majesty and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have returned to the West. ”

The great eunuch of the Middle Palace took out a scroll sealed by magic from his arms, "This is the scroll left by His Majesty before his death, and instructed that if he has an accident, let the old slave give the scroll to Your Highness in the shortest possible time." ”

"What is this?"

Nangong Yunfan held the scroll, and when his palm touched him, the seal was automatically lifted.

"Welcome to the throne of your new majesty!"

The scroll slowly opened, and after Qin Lan saw the word edict, he hurriedly knelt down.

When the great eunuch of the Middle Palace and the other Xuanjia heavy horsemen saw this, they all shouted: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the blessings are all over the world!"

But because the sound was too loud, it covered up the sound of ** cannons.

"What are you shouting about when you are dying?" Nangong Lin was puzzled, "Go and call the guards in the inner city to find out the reason?"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, they are saying, 'The new emperor ascends the throne, blessings from all over the world', it seems that they are all kneeling down to His Royal Highness the Prince, could it be Your Majesty Bintian?"

The guards at the front hurried back.

"How is it possible? How could an old man die suddenly at the age of sixty, who is as strong as an ox, and who is still happy every night, without illness or disaster?"

For this information, Nangong Lin could not accept it.

Originally, he wanted to capture the palace and force the emperor to sign an edict of abdication.

But now it seems that there is no need for this.

"That's fine, as long as I kill Nangong Yunfan, the throne will belong to me. ”

Nangong Lin boarded the inner city, standing on a high place and looking at the alleys in the distance, and the shouts of long live the mountain were still coming out.

Even in the war period of life and death, the succession to the throne must have a sense of ceremony.

But this made Nangong Lin look very unhappy, "The throne is mine, no one wants to take it away!"

"Listen well, if anyone can cut off Nangong Yunfan's head, he will be directly promoted to the third level, with a bounty of one million, and the maidservants in the palace will choose at will. ”

Having said that, the guards are all riveted, living on the desolate border all the year round, not to mention the palace maids, even ordinary peasant girls are rarely encountered, and they have long been greedy.

So after hearing Nangong Lin's reward, they all poured into the alley without hesitation.
