Chapter Eighty-Seven: The End of the Braided Dynasty (5)
All of this came too quickly and too suddenly.
Whether it is a cloth-clothed Daqing peddler or a high-flying braided magnates, when they saw this long-lost raging war once again descending on the ancient city of Daqing Beiping, they were instantly blinded.
But after all, it is the Shenzhou Dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years, and even in this era of the end of the law, there is still a little bit of heritage.
As soon as the giant beast airship lifted its perspective camouflage and appeared in the sky, the alert eunuch guards in the Forbidden Imperial City activated a large defensive array centered on the main hall of Qianyang, which was completely composed of the remaining heaven and earth aura in the massive jade.
This is the high-level of the braided people after learning the lesson of the last invasion of Beiping by the Nineteen-Nation Alliance, and took out the hole cards left by the ancestors of the dynasty from the Shengyang Temple in the land of Longxing.
In an instant, a translucent fluid transcendent shield composed of strong winds visible to the naked eye appeared in the sky above the imperial city.
The wind, which formed a large shield of shields, rolled up and threw the bombs dropped by the airship directly into contact with them.
"Dear Comrade General Chief, the ground forces need to be informed."
"Speed up the attack on the inner city to intercept those Daqing magnates who have fled into the imperial city?"
Hong Tiangui stood in the command room of the largest giant beast airship suspended above the imperial city, and the commander of the airship beside him whispered to him.
"No, just let the Spider Armored Brigade attack as planned!"
Hong Tiangui, who was inside the airship in the middle of the imperial city, looked down at the entire imperial city and its surrounding scene like a palm view.
After the extremely conspicuous translucent defense array over the imperial city was unfolded, the entire inner city of Beiping reacted from the airship bombardment, and the high-ranking officials and ministers of Daqing, who were not directly killed in the first wave of raid bombing, were immediately ecstatic after seeing that the attack of the giant airship in the high altitude was completely ineffective against the defense array.
In an instant, as if they had found the backbone of the main body, they used all kinds of means, and with their relatives and servants, they rushed towards the direction where the imperial city was located.
From the chaos of the airship bombardment, these teams that organized relatives and servants to go to the imperial city emerged more than five hundred, among which there were as many as seventy or eighty transcendent cultivators who were comparable to those who practiced qi realm.
There are even five people whose aura is vague, and only Hong Tiangui himself can easily perceive it, who can be called the top master in this era of the end of the law, and are powerful transcendents comparable to the cultivators of the Condensing God Realm.
Here, I have to say that the transcendent world of the vast land of Shenzhou is really amazing.
A mere Beiping, a city of transcendental, whether in terms of quantity or quality, is more than the United States of America in Yinzhou, the entire country on the dark side of the extraordinary powerhouses combined!
Even if this is the capital of Beijing, the capital of a country, and the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is enough to see how huge the number of transcendents who have survived to this day in this vast land of Shenzhou.
It is no wonder that when the Nineteen-Nation Coalition invaded, the secular war was won resoundingly, but the transcendent war was lost.
Seeing the transcendents of the high-level Daqing in the inner city of Beiping, Hong Tiangui, who had converged on the imperial city, pondered slightly, and soon issued further instructions.
"Let the airships over the inner city slow down the frequency of bomb dropping!"
"Since these people want to enter the Imperial City so much, let them enter!"
If such a number of transcendents of the old era were to simply lurk in Beiping City and fight street battles, guerrilla warfare, and sneak attacks with Hong Tiangui's ground troops, it would be impossible to say that Hong Tiangui would really have to put a lot of effort into it to get rid of them.
After all, no matter how well-trained the ordinary warriors of the Taiping Society were, in the urban environment, they were too vulnerable to the transcendent cultivators above the Qi Cultivation Realm.
Even if it is a heavy armored weapon like the Spider Tank, unless it takes the lead and gives priority to firing rifled artillery attacks, it will still be more than auspicious in the face of the strange sneak attack of the transcendent.
······
After Hong Tiangui gave the military order to slow down the attack, the panicked princes and ministers in the inner city also seemed to notice a decrease in the frequency of enemy attacks.
They were overjoyed and quickened their speed towards the Imperial City Array.
Time passed minute by minute, and in Beiping City outside the Forbidden Imperial City, the explosion of bombs dropped by the sky airship would sound every once in a while.
In the main hall of Qianyang in the Forbidden Emperor, a large number of high-ranking officials and clansmen of Daqing who were lucky not to die in the first bombardment of the Daping Society's airship troops had gathered.
Most of them were disheveled, and many of the official robes of Daqing beasts and beasts, which they regarded as their lives in the past, were in tatters.
But now at this critical juncture, no one is paying attention to such small things.
Most of these princes and ministers looked anxious, and complained to each other in a sad voice.
In the past history of China, there has never been a dynasty or generation that has encountered a strange situation like theirs.
The thieves had invaded the nation's capital, and they, the flesh-eaters, had not received any information before.
Moreover, after the radio was blocked by the Taiping Society, the current high-level Daqing could not even contact other places and order troops from other Daqing areas to come to the aid of the Beijing Division.
With the passage of time, the number of bureaucrats and ministers gathered in the main hall of Qianyang gradually increased, and some shrewd ministers had discovered the Taiping Society's intention to try to catch them all, and their faces gradually became more and more ugly.
Prince Qing, who was fortunate to be awakened from his sleep by a loyal servant and escaped from the bombing of the airship, was wearing a horse coat that only people would wear in the past, and said to the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was sitting on the main seat and was quite neatly dressed.
"Lafayette, the Taiping traitors have invaded Jingshi, and this is the situation right now."
"But, how can it be?"
His voice was terrified, in the past in Daqing, the high-ranking **** and well-respected temperament are now gone.
Although these high-ranking officials of the Daqing Dynasty did not know how the enemy concealed the official mansions around the thousands of miles around the Jingshi and directly blitzed Beiping.
But at least there are people among them who this enemy is.
On the outside of the huge airship in the sky, the symbol of the scythe wrench of the Taiping military has long been known to the whole world by the big mouth of the Kingdom of St. George.
It is precisely because of this that none of them uttered the words of surrender.
Now the princes and ministers of Daqing in the main hall of Qianyang, especially the ministers and magnates of the Chinese nationality, one is counted as one, and all of them are the executioners of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the blood, and their hands are stained with the blood of the peasant rebels.
Cixi, the eagle-eyed woman sitting on the upper seat, now has a very ugly face, she is wearing a golden silk phoenix robe, tightly hugging the little emperor who was frightened by the continuous explosions, and there are tears in the corners of her eyes, she didn't look at Prince Qing, and she has been silent.
After half a bang, Liu Hongzhang, the minister of the Westernization faction, who also escaped from the bombing of the airship, walked out of the crowd in the main hall, knelt on the ground, and said in a solemn voice......
