Strictly speaking, the walls of the capital are much stronger than ordinary mountains. After all, the wall tiles were all made by secret methods, and of course they were much harder than ordinary stones.

It's just that Xia Fan certainly didn't want to waste his troops on this, so the moment the formation aura collapsed, the flames and the Silent Demon Fire both fell on the city wall.

The defenders, who had narrowly escaped the doom of death in the violent concussion just now, were not so lucky this time, and when the flames and the flames of silence fell down, they were burned to ashes before they even had time to scream.

"Bang... Bang ...... "As the runes burst one after another because they couldn't withstand the burning of the flames and the Silent Demon Fire, the spiritual light that was originally shrouded in the city wall bricks dissipated, and then the extremely hard city wall bricks actually disintegrated into powder in a short period of time.

As a result, a gap of fifty or sixty zhang wide directly appeared on the originally integrated city wall, and this gap was still expanding at an accelerated pace as the flames and the fire of silence continued to burn the city walls on both sides.

"Hooray!" the troops, who had been waiting outside for a long time, cheered excitedly when they saw this.

It's just that Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou did not rush to order an attack, but came to Xia Fan together, and first saluted respectfully before asking how to fight the next battle.

If it was elsewhere, whether it was Lu Chuan or Bu Fenghou, they could naturally do whatever they wanted, as long as they could win the battle, no one would care what they did.

But now that Xia Fan is here, of course they have to obey his orders.

"The formation in the city is too big, in order to prevent Liu Xingchen from jumping over the wall in a hurry and pulling the people in the city to die with our soldiers and horses, so don't attack too fast, just advance steadily. Xia Fan was very satisfied with the deference of the two.

Xia Fan had already thought about how to fight before, and when he heard the two of them asking, he said: "When attacking, try to do it step by step, and the soldiers and horses of each unit should not be too close to each other." ”

"After entering an area, in addition to killing the resisting forces, it is also necessary to let the formation mages in the army destroy the formations in the area in time. ”

"Only by completely breaking the formation in the captured area can you continue to capture the next area, this is very important, and you must also tell your subordinates to be cautious. ”

"Street battles have always had heavy casualties, not to mention that there are so many formations in the city, so you have to be more careful, don't blindly seek speed, otherwise you will step into the enemy's trap, and it will not be one person or two people who will die. ”

............

Xia Fan told Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou about the situation he had encountered before, and told them some things that must be paid attention to, so he didn't say more.

As for how to distribute troops and horses, how to attack, with the command skills of Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou, of course, they can do it with ease, and they don't need Xia Fan to interfere too much.

Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou saluted Xia Fan again before returning to the army, and then issued military orders.

The two have actually reached a tacit understanding on how to attack, and there is no overlap in the direction and area of the attack.

Bands of soldiers and horses entered through the gaps in the wall, and then spread out in all directions like a tidal wave.

It's just that except for the formations within fifty miles at the city gate, which have been destroyed, there are still formations blocking the way in other places, coupled with the Han Dynasty troops hidden in the streets and alleys of the houses, the speed of the soldiers and horses on Xia Fan's side has inevitably slowed down.

Because they had been warned in advance, the troops and horses did not rush forward, but advanced steadily.

Xia Fan retrieved the Ten Thousand Soul Banner used to set up the formation and flew towards the direction of the palace. It was time for him and Liu Xingchen to settle the past general ledger.

In fact, if Xia Fan was willing, he could go to Liu Xingchen when he shuttled through the Heaven-Swallowing Pocket to the outside of the Town King's Mansion before.

The reason why he didn't do that was just because he came this time, not only to kill Liu Xingchen, but also to put the thirteen princes on the throne.

In this way, it is not just about killing a Liu Xingchen, but also has to be recognized by the vast majority of civil and military officials in the court, otherwise even if the thirteen princes sit on the dragon chair, they may not be able to sit safely.

Because although most of the full strength of the Han Dynasty was controlled by the emperor, the officials in the court still had a lot of strength to play games with the emperor.

The current Han Dynasty is better, and the only officials who really have weight are the crown prince Sun Haoran and the left minister Cao Shiping. If it was before, with the presence of a right minister, it would still be a great constraint on the emperor's power.

Xia Fan killed Liu Xingchen and pushed the thirteen princes to the throne, which was logical for him, but for the officials in the court, it could be said that the thirteen princes were not in the right position, and it was inevitable that they would have to fight a lawsuit on this kind of matter, and even the orders of the thirteen princes would be disobeyed.

Because of this kind of reputation, the emperor and the ministers in the court fought in the ring, and the Han Dynasty had it, and other empires had also appeared.

The reasons may be varied, and the explanations are also different, but the essence is a game between imperial power and relative power.

If a balance is reached in the back and forth between you and me, then the game is considered a success.

On the contrary, it may be a life-and-death fight, and in the end, either the Manchu civil and military forces are deposed and killed, and replaced by a group of people who satisfy the emperor, or the emperor is replaced in turn.

It is said that the emperor is high above and controls the world, but in fact, it is not true that he can always do what he wants. This is the court of the Han Dynasty.

If Xia Fan just killed Liu Xingchen and then ascended the throne by the Thirteen Princes, then maybe it would trigger such an endless game.

Xia Fan really felt that it was a little too troublesome, and at the same time, he was also very worried about what unknowable dangers the Thirteen Princes would encounter in such a coming-and-forth sword shadow.

So as a senior brother, Xia Fan decided to help him directly extinguish the troubles that would arise in the future before the thirteen princes ascended the throne.

For this reason, Xia Fancai led his soldiers and horses to attack the capital, and then advanced step by step, clearing out some officials in the court who were unlikely to have the same heart as the Thirteen Princes.

Anyway, when there is a war and chaos, it is really normal for some people to die and destroy some families. Even if someone notices that something is wrong in the future, they may not dare to say it.

For this reason, Xia Fan deliberately handed over a list to Xia Xue and asked her to take the soldiers and horses of the demon clan, the demon clan and the multi-armed clan to do this dirty "work".

Xia Xue happily agreed, and seemed to be quite happy and excited.

Xia Fan, who was flying in the direction of the palace at this time, didn't know that Liu Xingchen, who was in the palace at this moment, also had the same plan.

It's just that what he wants to do is to borrow a knife to kill people.

In order to allow Xia Fan's soldiers and horses to help him kill some officials who he had always wanted to kill but really couldn't find an excuse, especially the top officials of the court like the crown prince Sun Haoran and the left minister Cao Shiping, he deliberately closed the formations along the way, so that the army that attacked the city could reach the Sun Mansion and the Cao Mansion faster.

It's a pity that Liu Xingchen wasted his efforts this time. Because the speed of Xia Fan's soldiers and horses was not fast. If you want to attack the inner city, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a long time.

At this time, a ray of light flew in the sky, but Xia Fan had already appeared above the palace.

"Liu Xingchen, come out and die. As he spoke, Xia Fan had already blasted the Heaven Lock Tribulation towards Liu Xingchen, who was standing in the air.

The grudge between the two sides is very deep, and there is basically no possibility of reconciliation, so Xia Fan didn't bother to say too much to Liu Xingchen, and it was more pleasant to do it directly.

"Hmph!" Liu Xingchen snorted coldly, but he didn't dodge or avoid the fierce Locking Heaven Tribulation, and raised the red pen in his hand, and he was a little far away towards the oncoming Locking Heaven Tribulation.

When the buzzing sound of "buzzing ......" sounded one after another, countless lights rose from all over the capital.

Even though it was sunny and the sun was shining, you could still see the dazzling light clearly. If you look at it in the dark night, it will be even more dazzling.

And there's more to these lights than just looking good.

Each ray of light comes from a formation, and when they light up, it indicates that a formation is in operation, and then when the rays are linked, they have an extraordinary power.

Now this earth-shattering power was firmly controlled by Liu Xingchen in his hands, and it exploded with the stroke he had just made.

"Boom ......" a brilliant light flew out from the tip of the pen, as if it was a rainbow through the sun, and then bombarded the Heavenly Tribulation.

Under the collision between the two, it was really as if two meteorites were bombarded together, and in an instant, countless dazzling lights burst out, flying down in all directions, and at the same time, with a loud sound like the sky and the earth cracking, the extremely violent shock wave also swept around.

It's just that at this moment, almost everywhere in the entire capital is shrouded in formations, the damage caused by the shock wave sweeping past is not particularly large.

But not all places are so lucky.

For example, the Sun Mansion and the Cao Mansion and the mansions of their respective henchmen were not so lucky.

Because Liu Xingchen used to kill people with a knife, he shut down the formations around Sun Cao's two mansions and their henchmen's mansions.

These mansions are all located in the inner city, not far from the palace, not particularly close, just under the power of the shock wave, so in the rumbling sound, the rockeries in the courtyard, pavilions and pavilions have really been destroyed a lot.

A golden light flickered, but the Heaven Lock Tribulation that had blasted towards Liu Xingchen before flew out at a faster speed, and it had already flown out five or six hundred miles away in an instant.

It can be seen that under the collision just now, the Locking Heaven Tribulation has endured such a violent impact force.

"It's amazing!" Xia Fan couldn't help but marvel at the pen in Liu Xingchen's hand at this time. Fortunately, he didn't rush forward in person just now, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
