Chapter 374: The Imperial Capital Falls
"Unified ...... Commander, I'm ...... What should we do?"
A forbidden soldier looked at the army under the city wall, and said to the commander of the forbidden army beside him with a pale face.
They are the forbidden army that guards the palace, and they are also the most elite troops in the Tianpeng Kingdom, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong!
But in the face of the situation in front of them, they were really afraid, there were a full 30,000 newly dyed elite iron horsemen in front of them, and they only had less than 3,000 people.
30,000 versus 3,000, the gap is too big.
The strong and tall city walls of the imperial capital were easily broken by the other party, and the walls of the imperial palace were far worse than the walls of the imperial capital, how to defend this?
It was not only this little forbidden army who was afraid, the commander's face was also a little pale, he was also a perennial fighter, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
3,000 people against 30,000 troops, no matter how rich his combat experience is, he can't find a way to solve this trouble at this time.
The time for a pillar of incense passed quickly, Li Cunxiao frowned slightly, seeing that the forbidden army above the palace had no intention of surrendering, and lost patience.
With a flick of his large hand, the archers behind him drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the walls of the palace.
"Shoot!"
With his order, countless arrows rained down from the sky, killing many palace forbidden soldiers.
The density of the arrow rain was too large, and the area covered was very wide, and the three thousand forbidden troops crowded on the head of the small palace city suffered heavy casualties for a while, and many guards were so frightened that they directly hugged their heads and shrank under the corner of the wall to avoid being shot.
After a rain of arrows, the commander of the forbidden army finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately got up and said angrily: "Get up all for me, release the arrows, and fight back!"
Because of the order of the commander of the forbidden army, the soldiers of the forbidden army reluctantly stood up, found bows and arrows, and prepared to counterattack.
The equipment of these forbidden troops is much better than that of ordinary city defenders, as can be seen from the fact that they are equipped with all the qi arrows.
It's a pity that Li Cunxiao, as a super powerhouse of the three-star martial artist, is not afraid of these bows and arrows at all.
Moreover, he could clearly see the soldiers on the walls of the palace preparing their bows and arrows.
Although he himself was not afraid of these bows and arrows, in order to reduce some losses of his Fire Lin Legion, he still decided to strike first.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Li Cunxiao waved his hand, and another column of archers who had been prepared for a long time drew their bows and arrows, and another round of arrow rain poured down on the city.
This round of arrow rain caused even more damage, because many soldiers on the city wall stood up and prepared to shoot arrows, but did not have the time and effort to dodge quickly, so before they could shoot, their lives were already taken away by bows and arrows.
Now the forbidden army in the palace is obedient, and one by one they shrank their heads and hid under the city, not daring to show their heads.
"Attack the Palace!"
Li Cunxiao ordered, and the 50,000 troops pushed forward in unison, and the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to move at all for fear of standing up and being shot again.
In the end, it took less than half an hour for the palace of the Tianpeng Kingdom to be breached.
Because the area of the palace was not large enough, Li Cunxiao only led thousands of elite soldiers into it, and at the same time arranged for people to go to the harem to take all the emperor's family into custody.
After arranging the affairs of the army, Li Cunxiao led the elite soldiers to the Jinluan Hall of the Tianpeng Kingdom, because he had already learned from the eunuch that the emperor had arrived here.
Walking here, he really saw Qiu Tongbai, who was half a hundred years old, sitting on the dragon seat above.
"Qiu Tongbai, do you still want to continue to sit on it and be the emperor?" Li Cunxiao looked at Qiu Tongbai and smiled.
Qiu Tongbai stared at Li Cunxiao, his eyes were eager to kill him, but in the end, he turned into doubts and said: "I really can't imagine that the Great Zhou Kingdom, which has always been known for its weak military strength, can force my Tianpeng Kingdom to such a point, how did Xiao Chen do it?"
It's a pity that Li Cunxiao didn't answer his question.
"Come on, go and bring Qiu Tongbai down for me, he is not qualified to sit on the dragon seat!"
"Yes!"
After Li Cunxiao's personal soldiers answered, they stepped forward to bring Qiu Tongbai down from the dragon chair.
At this moment, suddenly several sword lights flashed, and several of the pro-soldiers who went up were killed.
Two old men dressed in dragon robes suddenly appeared in the main hall, and then stared at Li Cunxiao and said coldly: "You dare to kill my royal family members?"
"Two two-star martial arts warriors!"
Li Cunxiao was a little surprised, and said: "No wonder the Tianpeng Kingdom is the strongest among the four kingdoms, I didn't expect you to hide a little deep, there is such a master!"
"Two ancestors, if you kill him in the Great Zhou army, there will be no main general, and then the opportunity for us to counterattack will come," Qiu Tongbai said coldly.
"Good!"
The two old men rushed forward without saying a word, drew their swords and stabbed at Li Cunxiao.
It's just that they are tragic, because the Li Cunxiao they are facing is a warrior of the three-star martial arts!
"Zheng!"
Li Cunxiao waved the Yuwang lance in his hand suddenly, only to see a huge shadow flashing, and the bodies of these two people had fallen to the ground, and there was no breath.
Qiu Tongbai was startled, turned around and was about to run.
But Li Cunxiao's figure flashed, ran over and grabbed him, threw him on the ground, and said coldly: "Tie him up for me and give him as a gift to Your Majesty!"
"Yes!"
A group of tiger-like soldiers stepped forward and tied him up amid the terrified roar of Qiu Tongbai.
"Tell the general, the royal family members of the Tianpeng Kingdom, except for Emperor Qiu Tongbai, have all been imprisoned. ”
At this time, the people sent to the harem by Li Cunxiao also completed the task and came to restore their lives.
Li Cunxiao nodded and said, "Monitor them all closely, and wait for Your Majesty to come and send them down!"
"Yes!"
Not long after this person went down, Hao Meng, who was excited, also came to the main hall, and he who had already controlled a city gate did not have so much to do for the time being.
"General, now that we have captured the Tianpeng Kingdom and the imperial capital, it is better to take advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy the entire Tianpeng Kingdom, so that our credit is the greatest among all the armies," Hao Meng said excitedly.
Capturing the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom means that half of the Tianpeng Kingdom has fallen into their hands, and if they can take down the other half, this is a great achievement.
Li Cunxiao shook his head and said, "No, although this is a great achievement, it is not the most correct choice!"
"General, what do you mean ......"
"Alright, go down, I have my own arrangements!"
Li Cunxiao waved his hand, although he looked brave and unscrupulous on the outside, his mind was very transparent.
Today's Tianpeng Kingdom is already in the bag of the Great Zhou Empire, and if the Huolin Legion continues to fight like this, it will occupy too much military merit.
At that time, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other legions, and it will be very detrimental to the unity of the entire imperial army.
Of course, the most important reason is that he knows that Xiao Chen has come to the front line in person, and he can't show the appearance of competing for credit at this moment.
......
"Cunxiao's battle is good, originally I thought that it would take at least a month to take the Tianpeng Kingdom, but now it seems that it will take twenty days at most!"
In front of the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom, Xiao Chen looked at the head of the city where the flag of the Huolin Legion was floating, and said with emotion.
Behind him stood two strong martial kings, Zhang Han and the Blue Wolf King.
