Chapter 881: Counterinsurgency (II)
In this rebellion, Yu Xinzhe only brought a million fleet, which is not advantageous compared with the number of rebels, especially the rebels also have hundreds of thousands of Bojiang fleets, as well as a group of elite high-level ability legions, which is the most relied on by Zhong Mingrui.
Of course, with Yu Xinzhe's command ability, he is confident that it will not be too difficult to solve, but the casualties may be slightly larger. Before leaving, after Yun Haoyu ordered the latest Death Star ship to be handed over to him for command, there was actually no suspense about the outcome of this battle, and the fall of the traitorous party was no longer a matter worth his time to consider.
The decisive battle unfolded in the desert void outside the Jinhuan Star Domain, and the rebels gathered all the forces they could muster to face the Imperial Legions.
As soon as the two sides fought, the Imperial fleet gained the upper hand. Zhu Yin, who commanded the operation, saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he mobilized the Bojiang fleet to fight, and Yu Xinzhe immediately ordered the main guns of the Death Star ship to open fire, and under the ten salvos of 30 main guns, more than two-thirds of the Bojiang army was wiped out, and the entire battle situation was irretrievable.
"Send them a message! As long as the officers and soldiers who surrender now, they can be spared death! Yu Xinzhe saw that the formation of the rebel fleet had begun to collapse, so he instructed the adjutant.
"Your Excellency General, what should we do now?"
In the interstellar fortress of the "Tianfeng", a group of panicked generals surrounded Zhu Yin and asked.
The admiral's face was gloomy, and after hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Then retreat first!" Let's go back and pick up Your Majesty, and then think about what to do next. ”
"But with the current situation, I'm afraid it's too late to retreat?" A lieutenant general said with a wry smile.
In the star map, the fleet formation of the Imperial Legion has been unfolded and surrounded in a fan shape, due to the existence of the Death Star ship, the counterattack of the rebel side has been greatly suppressed, and in such a situation, it is basically wishful thinking to withdraw the remaining troops safely in an orderly manner!
Zhu Yin gritted his teeth and said: "Then let the Bojiang people stay and break off, let's withdraw from the battlefield immediately, and meet Your Majesty first!" ”
That being said, the admiral was hopeless that the arrogant and conceited Bojiang people would not listen to his orders.
The general trend is gone, and perhaps now, he should think about a way out for himself.
In the dark void, the remaining fleet on the rebel side began to shrink the formation and retreat, and at first it was still able to ensure a certain order, but with the continuous attack of the Imperial Legion, many warships broke away from the camp without authorization and accelerated their escape due to panic, completely disrupting the entire formation!
Especially the main guns of the Death Star ships, a single fire can directly annihilate a large number of battleships into ashes! The impact on the morale of officers and soldiers is almost fatal!
A few minutes later, the fleet turned from retreat to rout, from rout to flight! It's like a plate of loose sand, sprinkled into the vast void, scattered and fled for your life!
Yu Xinzhe shook his head and ordered a part of the army to pursue the deserters, and the main force rushed into the Jinhuan Star Domain without stopping, and almost did not encounter much resistance, and surrounded the capital planet.
Because there are still many high-level guards of the Bojiang people in the puppet emperor's palace, the Imperial Ability Legion suffered a certain number of casualties during the landing, and later Red ordered the use of special legions to participate in the battle, and a large number of mechanical war puppets plus the Star Machine Crossbow Array bombarded all the alien powerhouses they saw into slag!
It had only been more than four hours since the start of the war, and Yu Xinzhe had already stood at the gate of the imperial palace.
"Your Excellency Marshal, there is no resistance in the palace, and all the enemies have basically been cleared!" Feng Yuanjun, who had been promoted to general, came over to report.
"Alright, let's go in!" He nodded, raised his feet and entered the palace gate.
The palace complex is newly built, imitating the specifications of the imperial capital, and it looks magnificent and beautiful, but the corpses of the officers and soldiers who died in the battle along the way, and the blood stains on the ground that have not dried up have destroyed this feeling a lot!
After a while, the marshal and his entourage entered the imperial study, and saw Zhong Mingrui, dressed in black, sitting on a high platform with a calm face.
Yu Xinzhe looked at the other party for a while, waved his hand to signal everyone to withdraw first, covered the palace gate, and then said to him:
"Your Royal Highness, don't come unharmed!"
Zhong Mingrui smiled slightly: "Your Excellency Marshal, I haven't seen you for many days, but your demeanor is still the same!" Brother Huang, how is he lately? ”
"Of course Your Majesty is very good," Yu Xinzhe looked at him and said, "Moreover, he is also very concerned about his brother, so he specially ordered me to invite His Highness back!" ”
"Brother Huang asked me to go back?" Zhong Mingrui was obviously very surprised, "Are you sure you are not mistaken?" I thought you were going to be ordered to put me to death! Even if he doesn't give such an order directly, you just need to use the Death Star ship to take a look at this place, and everything will be clean? ”
Yu Xinzhe shook his head and said, "No, you're wrong!" Although Your Majesty is very disappointed in you, he still has never forgotten the brotherhood he once had, especially your mother and Concubine Zhong miss you very much, so before I set off this time, Your Majesty personally instructed you to bring you back to the imperial capital safe and sound! ”
The prince's face was stunned, and he said faintly: "Do you think that I still have the face to see the imperial brother now?" Even if he goes back, what to do with me will be a big trouble for him! ”
"If he intends to save my life, then he will have to endure unimaginable pressure from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty! To fulfill the righteousness of brotherhood, the interests and principles of the empire must be sacrificed! I am already guilty of sin, so why bother to make it difficult for him to do so? ”
The marshal sighed and said: "Your mood can be understood below, what happened at the beginning, your imperial brother already knew the cause and effect, I believe that you were just bewitched by those Bojiang people, and you made such a move in a moment of confusion, not to the point of being mad and having no bottom line!" So, Your Majesty still intends to forgive you once! ”
"Anyway, let's go back first! There will be a solution to the big things! ”
Seeing that the prince was still hesitating, he said again:
"Where are those two Bojiang women? As long as they can be arrested, they will have an explanation for the ministers in the court! ”
Zhong Mingrui silently pointed behind the screen.
When Yu Xinzhe looked over, he saw Yu Hongling slumped on the ground, his eyes closed, and the blood had already flowed all over the ground! Her sister was lying on the bed, also stopped breathing.
"They were a little too emotional before you came in, so I had to try to quiet them down!" Behind him, Zhong Mingrui said softly.
It's just that there is still sadness and regret in his eyes when he looks at them.
Yu Xinzhe sighed in his heart and said:
"Now that the people are dead, bring their bodies back! Your act of executing them with your own hands may become a reason to exonerate them in the future, but in short, I am only acting on orders, and it is up to your royal brother to make up his mind!" ”
Zhong Mingrui was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay!" I'll go change my clothes, get some papers, and I'll go with you right away! ”
With that, he went straight into the inner sanctum at the back.
The marshal frowned, feeling that something was wrong. After hesitating for a while, he finally rushed in, but it was too late.
His Royal Highness, whose face was pale, leaned weakly back in his seat, and in front of him was a crystal wine glass that had bottomed out.
"You...... What's the problem? He grabbed him, then turned on his light brain to call the doctor.
"It's useless......" Zhong Mingrui smiled weakly, "I'm ...... Eat the consequences, you ...... Don't bother anymore! ”
As he spoke, the bloodshot overflowing from the corners of his mouth had become pitch black, and his eyes gradually dizzled and dimmed.
A group of guards rushed in, and the two military doctors came to inspect and shook their heads together!
Yu Xinzhe said helplessly: "Then seal His Highness's body first, you ......"
Suddenly, a guard rushed in and said nervously: "Marshal, the apse is on fire!" You see how to deal with ......"
"What?" Without saying a word, he turned around and rushed out.
Outside, most of the magnificent palace complex has been swallowed up by flames, and thick smoke billows and obscures the sky.
"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and save people! His Royal Highness's family is still inside! The marshal rebuked.
Only then did the officers and soldiers hurry into action, and several high-level abilities who were good at ice abilities joined forces to make the temperature of the surrounding space drop sharply and suppress the fire.
Everyone rushed into the palace complex behind, and after searching for a while, Jerome ran out with a dying little girl in his arms, and said hurriedly:
"Marshal, our actions are still one step late! The two princesses committed suicide with their children, and only the eldest child still had a breath, you see......"
"Hurry up and rescue! That's an order! Yu Xinzhe gritted his teeth and said.
……
The imperial capital, in the Yueyin Palace.
Yun Haoyu was talking to Luo Qiyue, and in his arms, Yun Zhixia, the second princess who had been a hundred days old, curled up and slept soundly.
"This kid, his face looks very similar to yours, it's like it came out of a mold!" He gently shook the little one in his arms and smiled at her.
"But the concubine thinks that her facial features are still more like Your Majesty!" Luo Qiyue said gently.
Yun Haoyu smiled, and said with some regret: "Speaking of which, I really can't be regarded as a competent father, the two children before and after were born and couldn't stay by my side, I hope it won't be like this again in the future!" ”
"That's not Your Majesty's responsibility," Luo Qiyue smiled lightly, but there was a faint sadness in her eyes.
His brother said that he would come back to see his niece, but he didn't expect that when the child was born, the brother and sister were already separated by life and death!
Yun Haoyu's eyes flashed, she already understood her thoughts, and sighed slightly:
"I have already discussed with Yun Tianque, Luo Hanxing has made great contributions to the empire, and he also has great kindness to me, if it wasn't for him, how could I have a chance to get out of Twilight Cloud Star and go all the way up?"
"So, I still plan to keep this hereditary princely title, and when you give birth to a second child in the future, I will pass it on to your brother, so that he can inherit this title and continue the bloodline of the Luo family, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty......" Luo Qiyue was surprised and delighted, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn red.
His brother and sister were originally clones, created as killing tools, and lived in the dark every day, and it was the greatest luxury to be able to obtain the identity of a normal person. It was only after meeting Yun Haoyu that the trajectory of fate really changed.
After going through ups and downs, all the way to the present, seeing that the great cause is about to be accomplished, her brother accidentally died at the hands of the traitorous party, and even the heirs will not have time to stay, which is also the saddest thing for her.
Now Yun Haoyu's approach just makes up for her regrets, how can she not feel gratified?
Outside the door, a pleasant jingle sound came from far and near, and after a few breaths, Shuangyan's figure flashed in:
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Zhanying Royal Court have arrived in the imperial capital, saying that they are asking to see Your Majesty and discuss peace talks between the two clans! Not sure what you're going to do? ”
