Chapter 15: The First Variable
A Zhongzhou guard officer in silver armor commanded dozens of sergeants to use several blade carts with great efficiency to smash pieces of rotating giant blades into the palace walls.
At this time, there were already several breaches in the palace wall, but there was still no Zhongzhou army to charge.
All the Zhongzhou troops just continued to shoot non-stop, continued to use ballistas and blades, and vented the metal storm into the palace to their heart's content.
When not charging and forcing the guards inside the palace to fight, this rain of arrows and ordnance can only kill a limited amount of damage, but it can show an attitude... The Zhongzhou Army can completely advance in this way, little by little, and eat the entire palace.
Most of the standard munitions workshops in Yunqin are themselves among the several mausoleum guards in Zhongzhou City.
At this moment, the imperial palace has become an isolated island in Zhongzhou City, and all these workshops naturally fall under the control of Zhongzhou Wei.
Therefore, to exaggerate it, the arrows and crossbow arrows just made by these workshops can even be transported to Zhongzhou City and fly into the palace immediately.
In peacetime, there are a large number of raw materials such as stainless steel in the warehouses of the Ministry of Industry, the munitions depot, and even the warehouses of these large ordnance workshops themselves, which are enough for these workshops to maintain uninterrupted production for many days. In other words, the Zhongzhou army was in the city of Zhongzhou, and for a long time, it even had an inexhaustible supply of arrows and crossbow arrows.
The things produced in these workshops will be sent to the Zhongzhou Army like flowing water, and then turned into a ruthless iron stream by the Zhongzhou Army, and they are not afraid of waste and shoot into the palace.
After all, the Yunqin Imperial Palace is the most majestic and awe-inspiring existence for ordinary Yunqin soldiers, and facing enemies in such a place, such a numb operation of ordnance will make it easier for their hearts to accept... And when you can unscrupulously shoot at the things you usually fear the most for a long time, this awe will naturally disappear unconsciously.
At this time, the mood of the Zhongzhou guard officer was already a little numb, and he gradually unconsciously felt that there was no difference between this and the usual battle.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange murmur of gold and iron.
The sound that came from the several blade carts beside him did not attract any attention from the average sergeant, but it was extremely unusual for him who had been using them for many years.
"Stop!"
Almost subconsciously, he gave the order.
However, the moment he gave the order, several columns of blood erupted from his chest.
With his loud shouts, the slightest sound of air and blood spurting from his chest and lungs sounded.
Several blades that had just flown away from the blade car exploded at this time, and a cover plate at the front of two of the blade cars also suddenly shattered in the tremor.
Metal shards flew through the air, piercing through the surrounding sergeant, including his body.
Countless muffled howls rang out at this moment.
At the same time, a certain cover plate or mechanism of many ordnance itself flew like shrapnel from an explosive grenade, causing a shocking mass of casualties at the front of the Zhongzhou Army.
A lieutenant of Zhongzhou Wei clutched his bleeding neck, his face pale.
All the ordnance that went wrong was a spinner-bladed car and a ballista... At the moment when countless metal fragments splattered out, he was immediately shocked and puzzled, how could there be so many bladed cars and ballista cars that had problems at the same time. But in the next moment, he had already squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Rong family!"
All of Yunqin's standard bladed cars and crossbow cars have been tested for a long time in terms of durability and safety. If there is a problem with one or two vehicles, it can also be attributed to a problem in maintenance or operation, but if such a large number of the same kind of ordnance has problems almost at the same time, it is only possible that someone has tampered with it, and it can only be that it has been tampered with by a senior craftsman who is extremely familiar with these two types of ordnance!
However, even if some craftsmen had the heart to do it, it was impossible to do it with such a large number of ordnance!
In the entire Zhongzhou City, the only one who can do such a thing is the Rong family!
Among all the previous nine full-fledged gate valves, only the Rong family has not clearly stated their attitude. After the emperor removed the nine heavy curtains, the Rong family seemed to have disappeared in Zhongzhou City, but today, the Rong family has completely expressed its attitude in this way.
The Rong family is completely and firmly on the emperor's side!
Even if those workshops were controlled by Zhongzhou Wei, and all ordnance was produced and transported under the supervision of the military, the Rong family was still able to accomplish such a thing!
......
In the metal storm that suddenly erupted in these ordnances, the Zhongzhou Guards at the front were almost devastated, and they all fell, and only a few of the sergeants standing in the ordnance room could still stand like this lucky captain.
Many of the Zhongzhou guards in the rear began to tremble.
Because compared to the dead and wounded, what makes them more afraid is the power represented behind such casualties. In other words, some of the vanished fears have returned to their bodies and become stronger.
Wen Xuanshu's frame had already arrived on the central axis of the imperial city as if he was attending a court meeting as usual.
The curtain of his car was always lifted so that many sergeants of the Zhongzhou Guard on the central axis could see him, and he could too
See the battle-torn Imperial City and the closed gates of the Imperial Palace on the central axis.
He naturally saw such a change at this moment, and also saw such deaths and injuries, but his face was still very calm.
Although he didn't consider that the official appearance of the Rong family would start in this way, the appearance of the Rong family was already something he expected.
"It's time to go. ”
He just calmly issued an order to a Zhongzhou Wei general beside him.
The cold Zhongzhou guard general beside him took a deep breath and let out a loud shout: "Attack!"
It was like a huge thunderclap exploding in the air.
With a bang, the war drums in the last column rang out, and the war drums on the city gates in all directions also sounded at the same time, and the air in the entire Zhongzhou City seemed to be vibrating.
A sharp shout exploded in the Zhongzhou army in all directions.
The fear that had just surged was contained by these drums, and all the Zhongzhou troops moved like a reflex, running faster and faster, towards the palace walls in front.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded like raindrops.
Several columns of war horses dragged the crashing cars in the city and rushed to the palace gates.
The heavy palace gate was rapidly deformed with the dull roar of a giant ship colliding.
......
Rumble!
The main palace gate on the central axis of the palace collapsed in a trembling, and the air currents and sounds surging when the extremely heavy palace gate collapsed even caused several frontmost war horses to fall to the ground suddenly.
Many of the silver-armored generals of Zhongzhou Wei frowned deeply at this moment.
In their sight, there were no superfluous fortifications, a smooth road, behind the collapsed palace gate, was a golden giant brick road covered with dragon patterns, extending to the Jinluan Palace.
Dozens of Zhongzhou guards rushed through the collapsed palace gate with dazedness and fear, and rushed into the central axis avenue that was large enough for nine black and gold carriages to run in parallel.
When their feet were on the golden ground, they became more dazed and more frightened.
This is a place that they have never been able to set foot in their previous lives, and this inexplicable emotion makes their speed of running inexplicably faster and faster in the confusion and fear.
It wasn't until they ran dozens of steps that the first Zhongzhou Wei Yinjia sergeant to rush in began to realize that they were moving forward too easily, and they didn't even encounter the slightest resistance.
They stopped abruptly.
For at this moment the golden avenue beneath their feet began to tremble like an earthquake.
The sound of countless heavy objects hitting the ground came from behind.
They couldn't help but look back, and then they saw a dense white heavy armor that filled their eyes, wrapped in light, rushing towards them.
White Tiger Heavy Armor!
The white tiger heavy armor unique to the Zhongzhou Army!
These Zhongzhou guards who rushed in first avoided both sides in shock.
A huge metal figure, with a gust of wind, rushed through their gaps, and they didn't even dare to move.
These white tiger heavy armor seem to be bulldozing the entire Zhongzhou Imperial City and crashing into powder!
......
A faint sword light suddenly appeared from a corner of the first entrance hall.
This sword light is extremely light and swift, like a spring splashing on a mountain waterfall, but the sword light is extremely dexterous, like carving.
This sword pierced into the abdomen through the gap in the crotch of the previous white tiger armor, and then lightly pulled out, and then stabbed at the next white tiger heavy armor.
This is a sword with a distinct Senichi Academy style.
The person who used this sword was also a cultivator wearing the Immortal First Armor.
The Immortal Yijia is an ordinary robe style, woven with extremely dense and fine metal wires, which will not affect the speed of these cultivators' soul power gushing and sword.
It's like cutting the flowers and trees in the Xianyi Academy.
In an instant, this cultivator of the Immortal First Academy killed six heavily armored sergeants in a row.
It's just that such a cultivator is already too small in front of the Zhongzhou Army.
This White Tiger Heavy Armored Army exceeded two thousand, and outside the palace gate, behind this White Tiger Heavy Armored Army, there were at least 20,000 Zhongzhou troops.
There has never been a cultivator who can stop the army, even a holy master, who will be completely overwhelmed by the torrent of the army.
When the Sixth Respect Armor Sergeant around this Immortal One Academy cultivator fell, many sounds of arrows were already heard in the air.
Throwing nets and throwing ropes had already fallen towards this cultivator of the Immortal One Academy.
However, at this moment, countless faint sword lights flashed out of the temple.
One cultivator is not enough to stop the army, if you want to use the cultivator to stop the army... The only possibility is to have many practitioners.
At this moment, on this central axis of the Yunqin Imperial City, there were many sword-wielding cultivators.
These cultivators were all dressed in the costumes of the Immortal One Academy.
"It turns out that those who were transferred to Nanling Province were just pretenders... The real swordsmen of the Immortal One Academy were all transferred to the Imperial City. Wen Xuanshu shook his head slowly.
This was the first variable that was absent from his intelligence.
