Duan Qiyue and the Shadow Banner personnel had not directly confronted the Imperial Forest Army, but they had seen the corpse of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, and Duan Qiyue had also specifically talked to Shangguan Xiu about the armor of the Imperial Forest Army, and it was not practical to study this kind of armor on the battlefield.

In the end, it was concluded that it was useless. It's not that such a thick armor can't play a protective role, on the contrary, such thick armor can really make soldiers invulnerable, and the key problem is that few people can wear it.

No matter how well the armor protects the soldiers, no matter how airtight it is, but people can't even stand up, so what's the use?

The Imperial Forest Army was carefully selected by the Ningnan Imperial Court from among the tens of millions of people, and they have received the most rigorous training since they were young, and the elimination rate is extremely high.

It can be said that the armor of the Royal Guards is specially designed for these very few elites, and it is not suitable for a large number of regular armies at all.

In the battle of the Imperial Palace, almost none of the Imperial Guards were killed by the Wind Army's muskets, muskets or stone mines, most of them were killed by the Wind Army's mortars, or more precisely, the Imperial Guards who died under the cannonballs, their armor was not damaged, they were either shocked to death, or burned to death by the phosphorus powder in the shells.

Duan Qiyue originally thought that the Imperial Forest Army had been wiped out in the Battle of the Imperial Palace, but he did not expect that outside the Imperial Palace, in this remote Yongping Street, there were still remnants of the Imperial Forest Army hidden.

In fact, the number of these Royal Forest Army is not large, at best there are only about 100 people, but the wind army of thousands of people was killed by these 100 Royal Forest Army and suffered heavy casualties, and they were defeated and retreated.

After seeing the situation on the battlefield clearly, Duan Qiyue did not hesitate for more, and shouted sideways: "Kill! Not a single enemy soldier is allowed to run away!"

The Feng Army, who was fighting bloodily with the Imperial Forest Army on the street, suddenly withdrew from Yongping Street. The street, where there had been gunfire just now, became unusually quiet in an instant.

As far as the eye could see, the streets were empty, there was no one of the Wind Army, even the corpses of the Wind Army were all carried away, and there was nothing else on the ground except for a pile of blood.

As the minutes ticked by, two of the Guards were the first to poke their heads out of an alley with muskets in hand.

The two of them looked at both sides of the street, but they didn't see a ghost, they looked at each other, and they both walked slowly out of the alley.

They stood in the middle of the street, sometimes looking at the street, sometimes at the end of the street, and after looking for a long time, they turned their heads and shouted into the alley: "The wind army has withdrawn! The wind army has withdrawn......

Before the two of them could finish their words, suddenly, two gunshots rang out in the distance. Two spirit bullets pierced the sky, as if they had eyes, and pinned them precisely to the eyebrows of the two Royal Foresters.

With two crisp sounds, the helmets of the two Royal Foresters were put on, and their bodies shook violently, and they stood on the ground for a moment, both of them falling straight backwards.

"Spear shooter! There's a Spiritspear Shooter of the Wind Army nearby!" came the exclamations of the people in the alley. More than a dozen Imperial Guards gathered in the alley, people holding their muskets tightly and aiming their guns at the entrance of the alley.

Just as they were engrossed in aiming their guns out of the alley, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared behind them, and in the blink of an eye, the black mist condensed into a human form, and more than a dozen shadow flag personnel appeared behind them silently.

A shadow banner officer held a spirit knife, and jumped to the back of a royal forest army, and the force that slashed Huashan was a heavy split.

The spirit knife slashed at the plate armor behind the Royal Forester, cutting a long scratch on the plate armor, but it failed to split the plate armor.

Affected by its momentum, the Guards who were stabbed staggered forward, he reacted quickly, screamed, and immediately turned back, and at the moment when he pulled the trigger and was about to open fire, the Shadow Banner personnel stabbed him in the neck one after another.

The neck of the Royal Forest Army is not protected by plate armor, only a layer of chain mail, and the chain mail is not a problem to prevent the slashing of ordinary swords, but it cannot prevent the spirit knife of the spirit cultivator.

With a pop, the edge of the spirit knife pierced through the neck of the Royal Forester, poking out the back of his neck. The Guards didn't even have time to scream, his eyes widened, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

This is just a corner of the battlefield, the Imperial Forest Army hiding in the alleys and alleys on both sides of Yongping Street has been attacked by the sudden appearance of the dark spirit cultivators, the Imperial Forest Army's Wind Killing Army soldiers are like chopping vegetables, but against the elusive Shadow Banner personnel, the situation was immediately reversed.

The two sides just took a look at each other, and more than a dozen Royal Forest soldiers were killed and fell to the ground, and when the Royal Forest Army was about to fight back, the dark spirit cultivators who attacked them all disappeared strangely, and people's tense nerves had not yet relaxed, and the dark spirit cultivators appeared behind them out of thin air like ghosts.

The battle here on Yongping Street did not last long, and ended with the annihilation of more than 100 Imperial Guards, most of whom were killed by the Shadow Banner officers, and only five were captured alive.

When the Shadow Banner personnel walked out of Yongping Street, the soldiers of the Wind Army who were standing around the street avoided left and right one after another, flashing a passage.

The battalion commander who led the army walked quickly to Duan Qiyue, intervened to give a salute, and said respectfully: "Thanks to General Duan's help this time, otherwise, my whole battalion brothers will probably have to be explained here." ”

Duan Qiyue waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Duan is also within his duty." Seeing that his brother had brought out the five captives, he said to the battalion commander, "I'm going to take all five of them, okay?"

"No problem, no problem! General Duan, please!" In front of Duan Qiyue, where did the battalion commander dare to say half a word, nodding like pounding garlic.

Duan Qiyue smiled, patted the battalion commander on the shoulder, and returned to the crown mansion with five prisoners of the Royal Forest Army.

This group of Imperial Forest Army did not break out of the palace, but when the Wind Army attacked the palace, they were not in the palace at all. After leaving the city, the Imperial Forest Army was divided into two groups, one group continued to escort the family of the eldest grandson Huai'an to the west, and the other group returned to the city, intending to return to the palace for reinforcements.

But when they turned back to the palace, the palace was already surrounded by the Wind Legion, and they couldn't break through at all, and after dozens of people were killed, the remaining hundred or so Imperial Forest soldiers were forced to wander in the city, and finally hid here on Yongping Street.

Through the confessions of the five Imperial Forest Army captives, Shangguan Xiu also got a very important piece of news, the eldest grandson Huai'an was indeed not in Tianjing, and now even his family members in Tianjing have fled.

For the Wind Kingdom, the existence of the eldest grandson Huai'an was a huge hidden danger, and he ordered Zhao Chen to pass on the 22nd Army Corps deployed in the west of Tianjing, asking Zhang Tianyi to intercept King An's family no matter what.

The 22nd Army Corps led by Zhang Tianyi was stationed in the west of Tianjing, and had two main tasks, one was to resist the reinforcements from Tianjing, and the other was to prevent the people in Tianjing from fleeing westward, and now, they could finally come in handy.

Escorting the family of the eldest grandson Huai'an was a large group of the Imperial Forest Army, and the soldiers of the 22nd Army who first discovered their traces were not the opponents of the Royal Forest Army at all, and thousands of soldiers were only against the 200-strong Imperial Forest Army, but they were defeated by the other party.

The officers and men of the defeated 22nd Army were ashamed, and immediately mobilized the artillery of their own regiment and launched a wanton bombardment of the hiding place of the Royal Forest Army.

Those who can kill and injure the Imperial Forest Army, except for the spirit cultivators, are the artillery. But the people had eyes, and the shells fired by the artillery did not have eyes, and the shells not only fell on the heads of the Imperial Forest Army, but also on the heads of the eldest grandson Huai'an's family.

After a wild bombardment, most of the Royal Forest Army was killed and injured, and the family members of the poor eldest grandson Huai'an were not spared, almost all of them were killed by artillery.

When the officers and men of the 22nd Army re-attacked, looking at the scene again, there were bomb craters everywhere, and there were broken wreckage of horse-drawn carriages everywhere, mixed with people's corpses and corpse parts.

In the end, the 22nd Army did succeed in intercepting the family of the eldest grandson Huai'an, but unfortunately, they failed to send the living people to Tianjing, but only sent the corpses in truckloads.

The direct consequence of this incident is that the eldest grandson Huai'an is like a mad dog, frantically retaliating against the Wind Country, and in the western counties of the Ningnan region, the eldest grandson Huai'an has also caused a lot of trouble to the Feng army.

The fall of Tianjing was like a fatal blow to the officers and soldiers of the Ningnan Army on the battlefield of the city-state of Volo and the battlefield in the north, and the first to collapse was the battlefield in the north.

The main commander of the Ningnan Army in the northern battlefield is the right general Liao Ye, a respected veteran, his biggest specialty is good defense, and during the confrontation with the Feng army on the northern battlefield, he almost did not let the Feng army take advantage.

But with the fall of Tianjing, the soldiers of the Ningnan Army have no military spirit and fighting spirit at all, they can still firmly believe that they are fighting for the country and the king, blood-stained battlefields, and die glorious, but now, Your Majesty has collapsed, the capital has fallen, the emperor and the country are gone, who are they fighting for on the battlefield?

People can no longer find a reason to fight, where can there be morale and fighting spirit?

At first, deserters appeared only sporadically, but after only half a month, deserters appeared in groups and battalions.

Of course, the Feng army on the opposite side would not miss such a good opportunity, and the later general Wei Chi Zhen frequently sent envoys to various units of the Ningnan Army to instigate rebellion.

In the past, if he did this, it was equivalent to sending an envoy to the Ningnan army to send him to death, but now, where the envoy of the Feng army passed, all the departments of the Ningnan army turned against him, and in the end, even Liao Ye's side was almost out of soldiers.

Realizing that the time was ripe for a counterattack, on the twenty-fifth day after the fall of Tianjing, the Feng Army in the northern battlefield, led by Wei Chizhen, launched a full-scale general attack on the Ningnan Army.

On the northern battlefield, Fengguo and Ningnan each invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and the forces of both sides were added together, close to 1.5 million, and the battle was all started, which was originally a big battle, but after only two days before and after this battle, the Feng army achieved an overwhelming advantage.
