Chapter 106: The King's Death
The countdown to the battle outside the city of New South entered the countdown, the chariots of the sea and land people swept the chariots of the gene people on the battlefield, and the defenders of more than 30 corps inside and outside the city of New South launched a final fierce counterattack against the infantry corps of the gene people with hatred.
The final outcome of the decisive battle was that the remnants of the Gene Man fled the battlefield with dozens of chariots and troop carriers and retreated to Xitian Island.
The Xizhou War of Resistance was finally won by the joint counterattack of the landers and the sea-land people.
The chariot corps of the Hailu people did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the genetic people who had fled into the sea, nor did they stop at the new southern city, which was full of holes, but turned around and headed for the east coast, and they were ordered to return to the military base in the Qiandao Sea in Qizhou as soon as possible.
Immediately after the battle, Kapok ordered the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Haidong and Jiesheng respectively, asking them to rush to the south gate of the ancient city palace, where they would meet the chariots of the two alien friends, and then enter the ancient city palace together to search for the ghosts and spirits.
Before Kapok Zi transferred troops, Princess Nanling, Shanglin, Zhen'er and others gathered the soldiers at the head of the city and rushed to the palace to rescue.
After Ah Hu and Luo Lan left with the remaining three expeditionary chariots in the city, Kapok Zi hurried to the palace in the center of the city with a few guards, which no longer existed.
Most of the buildings of the palace had collapsed, and it was even more disturbing that no shouting could be heard even from inside the houses that had not yet collapsed.
By the bleak moonlight in the sky, the rescuers who arrived at the first time used their hands to move away the still smoking wood and bricks on the ground, looking for the people buried inside, but disappointingly, they only found a corpse that was unrecognizable, judging from the torn clothing, the bodies found outside the palace were palace guards and servants.
By the time Shanglin and the others arrived, the soldiers who had arrived early had already opened a passage from the periphery to the inner courtyard of the palace. Under the guidance of Princess Nanling, Shanglin and a group of warriors risked their lives to rescue people in the inner courtyard of the palace. They walked through the ruined corridors to the location of the Nandi King's office, the hardest hit area, with almost all the buildings collapsed and everything burned to the ground.
In fact, Kabayashi knew very well that no one in the building could survive being attacked by such a powerful incendiary bomb, because after the incendiary bomb exploded, it not only caused the building to collapse and burst into flames, but also consumed all the surrounding oxygen at the moment of the explosion, making people suffocate to death.
However, in order to comfort Princess Nanling, everyone still tried their best to find it, and if they wanted to see people dead or dead, they would see corpses, Shanglin and the soldiers moved the construction waste with their hands and feet, and Zhen'er pulled Nanling to wait silently on the side.
Shangbayashi and the soldiers found several corpses one after another under the rubble, and after careful identification by two of the personal guards of the king of Nandi, it was confirmed that two of the corpses were the king of Nandi and the king of Shenhai.
Nan Ling couldn't cry at her unrecognizable father, and Zhen'er couldn't help but cry with her.
Kapok arrived in a hurry, although he had long expected such an ending in his heart, but in the face of the body of the king of Nandi, he was very sad and couldn't help but burst into tears.
During the period of living in this palace, the king of Nandi treated himself like his own children, and they worked hard together for the Xizhou War of Resistance, but he did not expect that on the eve of the final victory, the king was hit by such a blow and died, and King Shenhai has been actively resisting the war and has made significant contributions to the victory of the war of resistance, I wanted to come to Xinnancheng to escape the war, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of ending.
Kapok knew very well in her heart that the reason for this ending was because the ghost spirit had already learned the information that she lived in the palace, and seeing that the gene man could not get rid of herself, the ghost spirit spirit spirit personally launched a strike from the air.
"Princess, please mourn at this point, the people of Southland need the princess to be strong and lead them to rebuild their homes destroyed by the war as soon as possible." Shanglin persuaded with good words.
Princess Nanling couldn't cry: "Father is gone, and you will also return to the prairie..."
Hearing this, Kapok Zi held Nan Ling's hands with a pair of powerful big hands and said in a firm tone: "Princess, as long as you want, Kapok Zi will not return to the prairie, and will always be here to accompany you, haven't we already made a plan during the day?" We must not only rebuild the cities of the Southlands, but also build a unified and powerful continent of the Western Continent! ”
Princess Nanling stopped crying, she looked at Kapok Zi with teary eyes and said, "Kapok, have you thought about it?" Even if you don't go back to the prairie, but the outer world is so exciting, how can you let it go? ”
Kapok's sad eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and said: "From now on, what I can't let go of in my heart is Nan Ling, you will go to the outer world, this is what I said with Lin and Wang Fan, because there are our relatives in the outer world, but as long as you are willing, we will take you with us." ”
Shanglin said seriously: "Princess, I have been like brothers with Kapok for so many years, this is the first time I have heard him say such emotional words, if you still doubt his sincerity, your father's spirit in the sky will also feel uneasy." ”
Zhen'er continued to comfort: "Nan Ling, even if we go to the outer world, we are only to visit our family there, we must first complete our mission in our own world, only after being there can we rest assured that we can go to the outer world to live permanently, and, as long as you want, we will always take you with us and will not stay away." ”
Princess Nanling looked at Kapok and nodded affectionately.
At dawn, the three chariot and horse teams of Ah Hu, Luo Lan, Jiesheng and Haidong met outside the trench at the south gate of the ancient city.
Jiesheng's chariot was the first to arrive, and Jiesheng sat in the chariot and found that the south gate of the ancient city was closed at this time, and there were still soldiers guarding the city, but the trenches outside the city were empty, and the drawbridge leading to the city gate was still hanging high at the other end of the trench.
Then Haidong led his cavalry regiment to come non-stop, and the two brothers met and discussed the strategy of entering the palace for a while, and soon the three chariots of Ah Hu and Luo Lan also arrived.
Hai Dongfeng humorously introduced Jiesheng to the two intelligent friends: "My little junior brother is much more capable than me, he not only learned a lot of skills from his master in Wulingzhuang since he was a child, but later he also learned immortal arts with the medicine fairy in Lanwu Mountain for more than ten years. ”
Jiesheng has long heard the magical story of the flying man, and today he is even more surprised to get acquainted. However, at this time, they had a heavy responsibility and it was not appropriate to say more off-topic, and after a brief introduction by Haidong, the four of them immediately launched a military operation into the city.
Haidong first asked one of his guards to ride to the outer edge of the trench and shouted to the people at the head of the city: "Hey, brothers, we are the cavalry regiment of the old head of Haidong of the second general of Langcheng, and the people under the sea have been beaten away by us!" We have obtained accurate information, there is civil strife in the palace, Your Majesty and our two generals are under house arrest in the palace, you quickly put down the drawbridge and open the city gate, we must enter the palace to rescue Your Majesty and the second general! ”
The defenders at the head of the city began to panic when they saw Jiesheng's convoy, thinking that the seamen were attacking the city under the banner of an expeditionary force, but later they came to their senses when they saw the cavalry regiment from Haidong coming.
After listening to the shouts of the city, one of the leaders of the city responded: "Because of the rumors that something happened to the palace, and because we did not receive orders from our army commander from the palace for two consecutive days, most of the people who defended the city fled back to their hometowns, and we stayed because our homes were in the ancient city. We went to the palace just now, and the palace gate was closed, and our people knocked on the door and no one paid attention, but the guards inside shot at the door indiscriminately, and we did not dare to force our way in. ”
The underground guards then shouted loudly: "We have chariots that are not afraid of bullets, since you also know that something is wrong with the palace, let's put down the drawbridge and open the city gate without nonsense, let us go to the palace to save people, if you delay time, Your Majesty is killed, you are a capital crime!" ”
After a while, the gates opened, and a group of soldiers ran out of it to lower the drawbridge.
With a wave of his hand, Haidong rushed into the city in an orderly and rapid manner, followed by ten chariots entering the city gate.
The drawbridge leading to the old town has been lowered and the other end is unguarded. Haidong's cavalry regiment and the ten chariots that followed drove unhindered all the way to the outside of the palace compound.
Haidong ordered the cavalry to surround the palace compound, and then Jiesheng ordered the chariots to open a cannon to blow a gate open, and ten chariots drove into the palace compound in turn.
After entering the inner courtyard of the palace, Jiesheng, who was sitting in the chariot, found that although there were many guards with gunpowder guns inside, they seemed to be stupefied by the explosion of the chariot shelling the gate just now, and saw that the chariot that drove in not only did not raise its guns to fight back, but was lying on the ground or trembling in the corner of the wall in an orderly manner.
Haidong also quickly discovered that the palace guards were abnormal, and he ordered the cavalry around him to dismount and collect the guards' guns, and as long as they did not resist, they should not be harmed.
The chariot drove to the bottom of the steps of the most conspicuous council chamber in the palace, Ah Hu and Luo Lan jumped out of the chariot and rushed into the building, Jiesheng rushed in with a group of warriors with short guns in their hands, and Haidong and several guards jumped off their horses and followed closely behind them.
When they rushed into the council hall, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, although the light in the hall was very dark, but because there was still only soft moonlight at night outside, the eyes of the people who entered the hall quickly adjusted, only to see that the council hall was full of people, and the king of the ancient land was still sitting on his high throne.
But no one reacted to the large crowd that had rushed in, and the hall was deadly silent. Ah Hu and Luo Lan opened their eyes, and at this time, the biological people could see clearly, and the people who were sitting closed their eyes and seemed to be asleep.
Jiesheng jumped on the platform and pushed the body of the King of the Ancient Land with his hand, and seeing that there was no reaction, he then touched the head of the King of the Ancient Land with his hand and shouted, "Dead!" They were all dead, apparently from sleeping on a sleeping pill. ”
