Chapter 373: Siege of the Imperial Palace
"Zhong Xiang, do you think we can hold the imperial capital?"
In the imperial study room of the palace of the Tianpeng Kingdom, Qiu Tongbai was looking at Prime Minister Zhong Wanda with a worried face.
Qiu Tongbai, who was in the imperial study, could clearly hear the shouts of killing coming from outside the palace.
He knew that the Great Zhou army had begun to attack the city.
With the noisy shouting of killing, the palace also became chaotic, many palace maids and eunuchs even sneaked out of the palace, and the concubines of the harem also began to quietly put up gold, silver and jewelry, preparing to flee.
Qiu Tongbai saw all this, but he didn't have the heart to care about it anymore.
At this moment, he was extremely sad in his heart, he had been the crown prince for thirty years, and he did not ascend to the throne until he was close to fifty years old, and he did not expect to face such a desperate situation after just three months of inheriting the throne.
But he never thought that it was he who caused this situation, if it weren't for his covetousness of the Nine Shadows Primordial Stone in Longtan Mountain, and brazenly sent a large army to attack Great Zhou, how could Xiao Chen retaliate against him.
Zhong Wanda, who looked old, also had a trace of sadness on his face, but he still comforted: "Your Majesty don't worry, General Ye commands an army of 250,000 people defending the city, and he will definitely be able to block the Great Zhou army from the city!"
"And our scouts have been sent for three days, and the army of King Qin from all over the country is on their way to the imperial capital, and when they arrive at the imperial capital, we will win this battle. ”
Zhong Wanda is comforting Qiu Tongbai, and at the same time, he is also comforting himself, the 250,000 troops in the imperial capital plus the Qinwang army in various places, can't the 450,000 troops still stop the 100,000 troops of the Great Zhou?
What they didn't know was that the steel defense line built by the imperial capital was broken through overnight.
When Qiu Tongbai heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Zhong Xiang, now that there is chaos in the city, I think your Prime Minister's Mansion should also have a lot of things to deal with, so you better go back first!"
Zhong Wanda did not refuse, he bowed his hand and retired, and the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time also needed him to go back to preside over the overall situation.
......
"Resist me, don't even retreat!"
In front of the north gate of the imperial capital, looking at the Huolin Legion that was unstoppable and rushing into the city, Ye Tianyuan, who was hit by an arrow in his body, didn't care about the injuries on his body, broke the tail of the arrow on his left chest with a sword, and then jumped out of the city and rushed towards Li Cunxiao first.
The determination to defend the imperial capital, as well as the resentment against Li Cunxiao, made Ye Tianyuan fearless.
"Charge!"
Looking at Ye Tianyuan, who was rushing towards him, Li Cunxiao, who had already entered the city, was of course even more fearless, and directly met him single-handedly.
This is worthy of being the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom, although the defenders have temporarily replenished many civilians, but the combat effectiveness is still good, and it can be called elite.
The moment the Fire Lin Legion rushed in, those soldiers who were not killed by the Hundred Battles God Machine Crossbow immediately began a ferocious counterattack.
Many bows and arrows were shot down, causing a lot of losses to the Fire Lin Legion, and dozens of people died in the blink of an eye.
However, these people only had time to shoot a wave of arrows, and then they were covered by an even denser rain of arrows.
After all, these people were only remnants, unable to carry out an organized attack like the Huolin Legion, and the 50,000 Huolin Legion first rained arrows and then cavalry charged.
Because of the need to defend the city, most of the defenders in the imperial capital chose to abandon their horses and fight on foot, and at this moment they had no power to resist in the face of the cavalry of the Great Zhou.
In the blink of an eye, it has been slaughtered by the Fire Lin Legion.
And Ye Tianyuan was also cut off by Li Cunxiao's Yu Wang Lance, and he in the Wuhou realm did not have any ability to resist in front of Li Cunxiao.
"General Li, I see that you are going well here, Zhang Han will not stay long, I will go to meet someone!"
Seeing Li Cunxiao kill Ye Tianyuan, Zhang Han in the air smiled indifferently, but Li Cunxiao was shocked.
Could it be that the person who can let Zhang Han greet him in person is ......
Li Cunxiao just wanted to confirm with Zhang Han, but found that Zhang Han had disappeared into the air.
......
"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good!" Qiu Tongbai was nervous in a person's imperial study when he suddenly heard the voice of the Praetorian Guards outside.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Tongbai said angrily, a faint feeling of bad luck rose in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the army of the Great Zhou is coming!"
"What?"
Qiu Tongbai, who had just stood up, was suddenly startled and slammed open the door of the hall.
"Evil words confuse everyone, my emperor has more than 200,000 troops stationed there, how can they come in so quickly?"
"Yes, it's true, one of the super strong people on the other side smashed the city gate with just one palm!"
Rumble!
Qiu Tongbai only felt that his head was shaking, his body was two steps backwards, and his whole eyes were gray.
He had long known that there were many peerless masters with super strength in Da Zhou, but he didn't expect these people to be so strong.
He knew very well in his heart how strong the gate of the imperial capital was, even if a martial commander and a strong man attacked with all his strength, it would be difficult to break it for a day, but now it was broken by someone with one palm.
It's hard to imagine how strong this person must be.
"Quick, quickly transfer the army to defend the palace, order someone to notify Ye Tianyuan, and quickly return to the palace!"
Although panicked and scared, Qiu Tongbai still understood what to do at this time and immediately made arrangements.
It's just that he didn't know that Ye Tianyuan had been killed by Li Cunxiao at this time.
"Yes!"
After the Praetorian Guards left, Qiu Tongbai anxiously said to himself: "It seems that you can only ask the old ancestor to make a move, otherwise no one can stop the super strong man of Da Zhou!"
Thinking like this, Qiu Tongbai hurriedly ran to the depths of the palace, where the two royal ancestors were retreated.
......
The war in the imperial capital ended quickly, Ye Tianyuan was killed by Li Cunxiao instantly, and the defenders were almost slaughtered by the Huolin Troupe, and the imperial capital had completely fallen.
Hao Meng and Zang Ba led the army and were ordered to occupy the East and West Gate, and the operation was also going smoothly.
"General, now three of the four city gates are in our hands, and only the north gate has not yet been occupied!"
"Don't worry, there is Feng Xiao leading an army of 50,000 people there, and not a single fly will want to fly out!"
Li Cunxiao had a smile on his face and said, "Order all the troops to quickly clear out the remnants of the enemy, and then come here to rendezvous!"
"Yes!"
Half an hour later, the Fire Lin Legion that had entered the imperial capital converged like a torrent.
After the nearby 30,000 Huolin legions arrived, Li Cunxiao led them and slowly walked towards the palace of the Tianpeng Kingdom.
The people in the royal capital, hiding at home and seeing such a large army, were afraid to come out one by one.
This time, the Great Zhou Empire has really established an invincible reputation in the hearts of these people.
Half an hour later, Li Cunxiao led the army to the outside of the palace.
He looked at the soldiers on the walls of the palace and shouted: "In the name of the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, lead an army of 100,000 to capture the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom!"
"This general is Li Cunxiao, the commander of the Huolin Legion, give you time to wait for the incense to consider, and those who open the gate of the palace and surrender will be spared death!"
"Those who dare to disobey the power of heaven, when the army rushes into the palace, let you and others be crushed!
"No mercy!"
"No mercy!"
"No mercy!"
The Huolin Legion shouted these three words neatly, and the sound shook the sky, so frightened that the palace guards of the Tianpeng Kingdom turned pale one by one, and the timid ones had already peed their pants.
