Chapter 81: First Victory
Kyoto, the Imperial City.
At this time, the periphery of the imperial city was full of Anhui soldiers, the sheng flag fluttered, and the black clouds pressed the city.
In the palace in the imperial city, the atmosphere was depressing and scary.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now I am in great summer and have suffered disasters."
"The Wanzhou mutiny, Zhang Wei's wolf's ambition is obvious to all."
"But there have always been people in the court who have secretly communicated with him, in a vain attempt to subvert the century-old foundation of the dynasty."
After Qin Yu finished speaking coldly, everyone looked at the young man on the dragon chair at the height of the main hall attentively, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
The Wanzhou mutiny, the army has already driven outside the city, and the forbidden army in Kyoto alone is insignificant in front of the tens of thousands of Wanzhou troops.
There are many people who are secretly thinking about how to protect themselves after the army enters the city, and they don't have much courage to resist at all.
But the emperor said these things to them at this time, and the deep meaning of them was thought-provoking.
Without waiting for them to think about it, Qin Yu began to spit out several names from his mouth one after another.
As Qin Yu's voice fell, the guards in the main hall began to arrest directly under the leadership of Yun Bi, the commander of the forbidden army.
The solemn and solemn parliament hall on weekdays instantly became crying, and the voices of injustice came one after another.
But the emperor still had that expressionless appearance, and his mood did not change with the shouts in the hall.
At this time, these ministers in the court and the central government realized that the emperor's seclusion was a layer of disguise before, and now he is still acting ruthlessly.
These officials who were arrested on the spot were naturally traitors who had a subtle connection with the Wanzhou Army.
While these ministers in the main hall of the Imperial Palace were trembling, many of the front-line border guards of the Kyoto City Wall were also replaced by the Imperial Forbidden Army.
In the Wanzhou army outside the city, Zhang Wei, the superintendent, sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and waited anxiously.
"Isn't there any news from the city?"
Listening to Zhang Wei, the governor of Wanzhou, questioning, the generals under his command shook their heads helplessly.
Zhang Wei sighed, knowing that there might be a new change in Kyoto, but now he is in a dilemma by himself.
"Pass my command, and attack the city tomorrow."
As Zhang Wei gave the order, the generals were ordered to retreat, leaving only Zhang Wei to look at the distant backs of his subordinates thoughtfully, not knowing what to think.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Wanzhou army began to attack the city, and as the shouting sounded, the whole Kyoto began to smell of war.
In the face of the menacing Wanzhou army, the soldiers of the Kyoto forbidden army on the city tower all showed panic on their faces at this time.
For these big-headed soldiers, their lives were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the powerful people in the imperial court.
Moreover, since the outbreak of the disaster, the whole world has become at war, and the darkness with no end in sight has made them feel numb to the future.
Although Emperor Qin Yu purged a large number of corrupt officials in the court before, he gave enough money to serve as soldiers.
But now that the enemy army is besieging the city, is it really worth paying your life for the so-called emperor and the court?
Many soldiers asked in their hearts: "Emperor, will you really see us?" ”
Just when the defenders on the castle tower were feeling desperate and helpless about holding on to Kyoto, there were shouts from the rear of the procession.
"The emperor is here, the emperor is here."
As the shouts rang out, many of the defenders of the city looked sideways and looked back.
I saw that the emperor Qin Yu at this time was wearing armor, and the sword belonging to the Son of Heaven was striding towards the highest part of the city tower with a sword belonging to the Son of Heaven on his waist.
Behind him were a group of Wencheng military generals, and these high-ranking and powerful ministers were all pulled to the city by Qin Yu at this time to prevent them from making other moves.
The eyes of all the soldiers of the forbidden army converged on Qin Yu's body, and many people held their breath, feeling a little excited.
The emperor, that was their emperor, and the emperor did not forget them, the soldiers who were struggling to defend the tower.
They are not grass mustards on the side of the road, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that their death is worthless.
At this time, the emperor came in person, which completely ignited the fire cotton in the hearts of the defenders, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted for a while.
When Qin Yu climbed the highest tower, he pulled out his sword and shouted loudly.
"Soldiers, comrades."
"Now that the Great Xia is withering and the rebels are knocking on the pass, this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
"You and the others are all the people of Great Xia, with the same bloodline, and today you are willing to follow me to defend Kyoto, protect the country, and protect the safety of the people."
As Qin Yu's voice fell, many soldiers of the forbidden army began to shout loudly unconsciously, and their fighting spirit was clear.
Those guards and soldiers who had not had much to fight saw their crazy companions, so they had to put away some other thoughts and prepare wholeheartedly for the upcoming battle.
Qin Yu, who was on the city tower, saw that the guards of the city at this time were inspired, and the military heart was available, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Now that the siege war has entered a tragic stage, the originally crumbling Kyoto City has barely managed to contain the situation for the time being with the arrival of Qin Yu.
After that, it will depend on whether Wang Meng, Jizhou, and Yuzhou of Huya Pass can come before the city is broken.
Just as a hot war broke out in Bai outside Kyoto, the first battle of the Qingzhou army outside Lingshui County also ended in Xiao Jiu's complete victory.
With Xiao Jiu's more than a dozen cannons firing in unison, it can be regarded as completely crushing the morale of the Qingzhou army.
Under Xiao Jiu's order to rush and kill, the battlefield showed a one-sided trend.
The Qingzhou army, which fled in a hurry, was killed by the Xiao Zi battalion and the militia team who came from behind, and they lost their armor and abandoned their armor, only hating their parents for not giving birth to two more legs.
The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were all frightened in the face of the unheard-of shelling, and they just wanted to flee as quickly as they did not care about the orders of their superiors.
Although Governor Lu Yaoliang was not injured by the cannon, he temporarily lost the ability to command the soldiers in a panic.
can only watch those generals and subordinates who obey their orders on weekdays make a mess, and they can't organize the Qingzhou Army to fight back.
For a while, the shouts of killing continued, and there was no trace of the majesty of the previous army when it was pressing.
Xiao Jiu watched the Xiao Zi battalion that rushed into the military formation and continued to shoot Qingzhou sergeants one by one with military crossbows, and knew that victory was a foregone conclusion.
For those soldiers who unfortunately died in the war, Xiao Jiu had no time to sigh.
As the time of coming to this world continued to lengthen, Xiao Jiu had seen too much death, and his originally fiery heart gradually became cold.
He had also experienced war in his previous life, but he was still a little frightened in the face of this kind of cold weapon fighting.
When the bloody scenes continued to pass in front of him one by one, Xiao Jiu gradually became numb.
I don't know when it began, an ambitious heart gradually took root in Xiao Jiu, making his eyes begin to focus on the whole world.
Whether it was earning the first pot of gold with soju, or killing the landlord and dividing the land, Xiao Jiu had gradually affected the established trajectory of Great Xia and began to develop in a new direction.
Today's confrontation against the Qingzhou Army is the first time that Xiao Jiu has officially shown his talents in front of the powerful people of Great Xia, and it will be very exciting in the future.
