In the city, the soldiers of the cave country, who were fighting each other, immediately stopped.

The enemy army has invaded the city, and even if you want to resist, you lack someone who can command, what can you do?

After confirming that there was no ambush in the city, 20,000 Qilin soldiers also rode into the city and quickly suppressed the resistance in the city.

The Blue Dragon Legion went straight to the palace.

The resistance of the Janissaries was fierce.

They didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor gave the order to resist, now that the city was completely occupied by the Cang army, the morale of the soldiers was completely lost, there was no resistance at all, and the nobles and officials were also busy surrendering one by one.

Resistance, what's the point?

However, after all, the Praetorian Guard is the most loyal army to the emperor, and when the Cang army attacks, everyone can only choose to fight.

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, the palace gate was suddenly slammed open, and the Blue Dragon Legion captured several city gates one after another and killed them in the inner court.

The Praetorian Guard and the Blue Dragon Legion launched a huge battle.

In the palace, there were screams from time to time, which were the screams of the palace maids and eunuchs who fled in a panic, and they were involved in this big battle.

On the stone bridge leading to the palace, white marble statues collapsed, and some palace maids who secretly escaped with their luggage were taken care of.

After all, although the military discipline of the Blue Dragon Legion is strict, and all payments must be credited, who doesn't want to get some more loot?

You must know that the loot captured on the battlefield can be exchanged for a part and belong to their private individuals!

The battle between the two armies ended with the defeat of the Praetorian Guard, and from the perspective of equipment on both sides, the Janissaries as the forbidden army guarding the palace, the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies were first-class, and the gap between the two sides was not large.

But in numbers and morale, the Praetorian Guards were far behind.

Originally, the Praetorian Guards occupied favorable terrain, such as in the Urn City and other areas, which could cause a large wave of damage to the Blue Dragon Legion, but due to the lack of command of the Janissaries generals, it was like a handful of scattered sand, resulting in the outer Urn City being breached at the beginning and losing the best opportunity to defend.

From the court hall of the inner court to the emperor's bedroom, there were fights everywhere along the way, corpses and blood stains everywhere, and the thick fishy smell was pungent.

After all, there are still many people loyal to the emperor in the palace, and after a fight, many palace maids and eunuchs have been killed, and wherever the soldiers of the Green Dragon Legion pass, as long as they do not surrender on their knees, they will be regarded as enemies and will be killed on the ground.

In the end, the Blue Dragon Legion firmly gained the upper hand, and the Praetorian Guard retreated to the harem with the emperor.

Wei Zhongquan, as a general of a country, and the personal guard of the first emperor of Cangguo, naturally knew some royal tricks, such as secret passages and the like, so he was very worried that the emperor of the cave country would withdraw from the palace from the secret passages under the cover of his personal guards.

Once the Emperor of the Cave Kingdom escapes and goes into exile, it will have unimaginable consequences.

Immediately, Wei Zhongquan ordered the soldiers to storm the harem, and did not hesitate to carry dozens of repeaters over to carry out suppressive repeater shooting on the towers of the harem.

"Report!"

A young general ran over and arched his hand: "Report to the general, our army has entered the harem of the cave country, searched in the palaces, and has not found any trace of the emperor of the cave country at present!" ”

"Report!"

Another soldier who looked like a herald ran over and reported: "General Qiyu, I found the Emperor of the Cave Kingdom in Chaofeng Palace, and the soldiers have surrounded Chaofeng Palace!" ”

"This Emperor of the Cave Country, how can he be so determined?"

Wei Zhongquan was really puzzled, if there was no secret passage or hiding place in the Dongguo Palace, he would not believe it if he was killed, that dim emperor could have such a generous determination to die?

Now that he has occupied the palace and found the traces of the emperor of Dongguo, Wei Zhongquan's hanging heart has been put down, and some soldiers have been sent to the city to rectify order, protect the territory and the people, and distribute rations to the common people.

In the harem, the concubines and princes were like lost dogs, panicking, escorted out of their respective palaces by the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion, and rudely pushed in front of Chaofeng Palace.

In the end, the Emperor of the Cave Kingdom still did not have the courage to die, especially when he heard the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion shouting, saying that it was possible to be spared by His Majesty the Emperor and sentenced to Guiyi Island, his heart to commit suicide basically collapsed.

Think about it, an emperor who has been pampered since he was a child, has enjoyed his whole life, and it is possible to have a momentary ambition, but when it comes to the moment of death, how can he give it up?

Wei Zhongquan glanced at the Emperor of the Cave Kingdom coldly, and motioned to the people on the left and right to strip off his dragon robe.

Immediately, several men shouted reprimands and insulted Wei Zhongquan.

Wei Zhongquan was immediately furious, and killed him with a sword.

There was no shortage of loyal people around the Emperor of the Cave Kingdom, and more than a dozen people were killed in a row, and the rest were silent, hiding aside in fear.

The search was not over until the evening.

In the imperial palace, carts of gold and silver cloth were pulled out, and all palaces were almost looted, and the treasures in the emperor's internal affairs treasury were sorted out and sealed one by one, and they were taken to the barracks.

Then, Taicang, which was built on the edge of the palace, that is, the treasury of the Dong Kingdom, was all taken over.

According to the account book in Taicang Ling's hand, it can be seen that there are nearly 100 million taels of silver in the entire Taicang!

One hundred million!

This is a very large number, and the population of the entire cave country is more than 20 million, if you divide these silvers, it is equivalent to each person can get five taels of silver!

The treasury is so rich that the families of those princes and nobles should not be bad, right?

When Wei Zhongquan realized this, he immediately sent people to check the property of the ministers in the city and escorted all the personnel together.

It was another busy night, and the soldiers were resting in shifts, tired with a hint of excitement and excitement.

After a few days, almost all the valuable things in the entire palace were dismantled and taken away, and the rest of the things that could not be taken away could only be burned in a fire.

Of course, this is not a sign of brutality.

The palace is a symbol of the imperial capital of a country, because the cave country was destroyed rather than collapsed by itself, the burning of the palace is equivalent to destroying the spiritual symbol of the cave country, if there is any fish that slips through the net, it is difficult to unite people's hearts, which is equivalent to destroying the spiritual goal of those die-hard people.

Gold and silver treasures, etc., are even more pragmatic things.

This is not unscrupulous looting, but trophies.

After three years of changes, the soldiers and soldiers of Cang are very aware of the importance of wealth to the army, and only with more money can they have the ability to strengthen their armaments, and the country will be stronger.

In order to ensure that these gold and silver treasures could be transported back to China as soon as possible, Wei Zhongquan handed over this task to the Qilin army, which sent 5,000 cavalry escorts, and requisitioned dozens of civilian caravans, paid part of the wages, and returned to Cangguo by the official road with half a charge and half a force.
