Chapter 200: Assault on the Capital
"No matter what, the capital city must be well guarded, and the city gates must be strictly guarded to prevent the enemy from sneaking up..."
Qianren nodded. But he knew that there were only more than 10,000 soldiers in his city, and although there were 10,000 or 20,000 civilians receiving training, their military literacy was too poor.
The long war consumed human resources, and most of the able-bodied men were on the front line against the Shang army.
Resist, as long as it can withstand the enemy's attack, the front-line Jianghai General will defeat the merchant army, and Dongnanyi will still be safe.
But just as he was thinking like this, Xu Feng was already approaching the capital. At this moment, Qian people don't know.
Xu Feng watched the army march rapidly, and at dusk, it approached the outside of the capital. They were dressed in the clothes of the Dongnan Yi army, and the people along the way did not notice.
During the war, the population was depressed, many men went to the front, and there were not many people in the fields of Dongnanyi, and some were women.
Their alertness is not very high. Xu Feng looked at all this and sighed, he knew that everything would be normal after the war.
When they came to the bottom of the city, the gates were shut.
"Eagles, magicians, come with me and prepare to rush up to the other city's tower and open the gates... The army is dispatched by the Yellow Soldiers, and you will wait for us to open the gates of the city, and then kill them inside. Kill directly to the palace. Remember to set fire all the way, but don't kill more innocent people, and if you encounter any resistance, destroy them as soon as possible..."Xu Feng shouted.
In this battle, Xu Feng had already thought about how to fight, and he knew that he had to be fast...
Fast wins everything.
When Xu Feng and the others rushed towards the southeast Yidu City, this fast-marching force did not attract too much attention. Including those sporadic military personnel who come and go.
At this time, the front-line battle report is worrying. The soldiers all thought that this unit had received a mission and urgently needed to report to the capital.
Indeed, there were sporadic soldiers along the way, asking, "Where did your troops go?"
Qian'er's men were already distributed in various positions, and they would shout loudly, "The front is tight, let's go to the capital to report, and then go to the front line..."
The scattered soldiers didn't say anything.
The common people along the way don't say anything, in such an era, they just hope that the war will end as soon as possible. Everything they have has been handed over to the officials, and they have to be sent to the front line for food and clothing. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that many officials have embezzled some of it. It's hard to avoid it.
Even in times of crisis, many officials still hide their children from going to the front line, and use other people's children to make up for it. Although the king of Qian also killed some such officials, it still cannot be forbidden.
Most of this happens among civil servants. Because the tradition of military generals is to fight wars to get wealth and family glory. For them, it is a time to raise soldiers for a thousand days. Once there is a war, their family must produce children to become generals.
The entire Dongnan Yi was actually shrouded in a panic, after all, they knew that the strength of the Great Shang Dynasty was there. War after war is not something that a small country like itself can afford.
Many of them are even nostalgic for the days when they were not enemies of the Great Shang, and even wonder why the King of Qian did not pay tribute and let the King of Shang conquest. If the merchant army defeats the Dongnan Yi this time, it will not be as loose as in the past, and it will definitely directly bring the Dongnan Yi into its jurisdiction.
Many people feel that the Qian people are not wise. But how did the people know about today's calamity? He just didn't want to pay tribute, he didn't want to enter the court, he felt that he was smarter than the king of Shang, he was far away from the mountains, he had geographical advantages, and he was not afraid of the Shang army.
Where did you think that the merchant army could quickly destroy Dongyi, Xu Yi, and come to himself?
The most elite soldiers were deployed to the front. There are more than 10,000 old and weak soldiers in the capital, and although there are more than 10,000 people on rotation, the combat effectiveness of these people can hardly be counted.
If the army itself is effective, these people can contribute, but if the army itself is useless, these people are also scattered. At this moment, the defenders on the southeast Yidu City are in such a state.
When Xu Feng and the others arrived, it was twilight, and everything here was in a lazy state. In fact, war-weariness was fully manifested in the rear of the southeastern region. Besides, it's time for dinner.
Xu Feng and the others had already eaten dry food in advance, and they had only one goal, to launch an attack at dusk.
When the city wall appeared in front of everyone, Xu Feng drew his sword, "Everyone, pay attention, there is a city wall in front, we will act according to the plan..."
"Yes, General," everyone shouted.
They hurried forward, and there were some soldiers outside the city, and then they felt that something was wrong, and they came forward to ask questions, but the merchant army suddenly opened fire on the killing ring, and these soldiers immediately fell.
The scene began to panic. Xu Feng and the others walked through the east gate, and there were not many troops stationed outside the city. It's all good to know in advance. Qian'er's people are familiar with this place, they find out everything and they are acting as guides and translators.
Seeing the tall city gate, about a dozen zhang high, Xu Feng jumped high. Lu Yiqian'er, Bing'er, Meng'er, Xiaoxue, Yusheng, Zhang Qian, Song Wan, and they all followed, and at this time, the soldiers of Dongnanyi on the city wall had already raised the alarm.
They urgently closed the city gates. It's just that Xu Feng has already killed them, and no one can stop them at this time. Xu Feng killed the soldiers operating the city wall moat drawbridge with a few swords, and those soldiers screamed.
The men of the Skyhawks followed, and they flew down from the sky. They assisted Xu Feng in lowering the ropes of the drawbridge. Then dozens of them slashed the enemy on the walls.
Lu Yi and the others also rushed to the city wall, and no one could resist wherever they went. When they came to the gates, they swept the guards and the gates were soon opened.
When those soldiers tried to rush over, countless fireballs flew towards them, and countless thunderbolts also hit them. The soldiers screamed, and the soldiers died or fled.
This is Zhang Qian's spell casting.
"Kill..."The yellow soldier outside the city saw the gate open, he drew his sword and shouted loudly.
He rushed up, and thousands of wolf-like merchant troops rushed into the city behind him.
"Hurry, the sooner the better, it's best to rush all in..."Huang Bing shouted.
Because at this time, if the enemy launches a counterattack inside, the more soldiers enter the city, the more they can control the city gates.
Xu Feng appeared in front of them, "We will enter the palace according to the predetermined plan..."Xu Feng shouted.
"Yes, General," everyone shouted.
At this time, there was chaos in the city. The merchant army was setting fire everywhere, and they were dressed in the clothes of the Dongnan Yi army, and the enemy could not distinguish them, and they knew it themselves, because they all had a white towel tied to their right arm.
The enemy also tried to block them, but those enemies were very poor in combat, and when they encountered the wolf-like merchant army, they fell one after another.
Xu Feng knew that the most important thing was to capture the palace. He led a large army of merchants to the palace, and the whole city was ablaze. Only a handful of troops came to stop them along the way, but they were quickly wiped out.
Although the capital had tens of thousands of troops, they were no longer able to form an effective resistance. Only about half of the 10,000 people are inside the city, and there are still a few outside the city, but they can't come quickly.
