Chapter 692: The Last Trumpet (13)
The Imperial Palace, once the most sacred place in the Empire, is now the defense line of the Empire's Zuihou. The Daming Palace, which has been painstakingly managed by several generations, is now playing its role in China, and the Shenwu Army has been frantically suppressed by the successive armies, and now it has been forced into the defense line of this zuihou in the imperial capital. Many of the recruits of the Shenwu Army are not very strong, and if it weren't for the many strong generals under Liu Fan's command who have been on the front line, the recruits of the Shenwu Army would not have been able to withstand it for so long.
The empire's Daming Palace, from the beginning of the construction of the problem of defense, the tall city walls, the wide city head is full of crowded soldiers, the palace warehouse has been completely opened, countless city defense materials are constantly transported to the city head, responsible for commanding the city guard Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi two people shouted loudly, everywhere is a tragic fight. Now there are no new recruits on the battlefield, and all the soldiers who can retreat to the palace alive have become veterans of this war. The war continues, the fighting continues, and the battle around the imperial capital is much more than that.
In the north, the headquarters of the Yongzhou Legion of the Shenwu Army, Yue Fei's headquarters are desperately fighting against the Xiliang Army with the soldiers under their command, Yue Fei and Guo Yan, Ma Chao and Guan Yu are also fighting bloodily with the enemy's 100,000 miscellaneous troops. Meng Gong and his army were also frantically fighting with Niu Fu's army. Both sides sacrificed their lives to fight for the sake of the imperial capital, which was only a hundred miles away from them.
In the east, Wang Qian's army also fought day and night with the main force of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, and since Dong Zhuo received the ambush of the Xiliang army and was blocked by Yue Fei in the north, he immediately increased the attack on Wang Qian's department. Wang Jian also did not dare to show weakness, and fought bloody battles with the Xiliang army. The main force of the Xiliang Army frantically attacked Wang Qian's troops. When Wang Jian arrived, he also responded to the Xiliang Army in a more crazy way. Both sides are elite. They are the most elite veterans. They are all veterans with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and every battle between them is a bloody battle full of corpses, and there can only be one shili between them who can continue to live and walk, to the unification of this empire, and to the peak of this empire.
On the other side, Zhou Yu, who was closest to the imperial capital, was also blocked by the army that suddenly appeared outside the imperial capital, the Jingzhou army was elite, but the ability of land combat was not unusually strong, only Gan Ning took his five thousand cavalry into the city desperately. But it also lost nearly 3,000 men. The rest of the two thousand people were also injured, and when Gan Ning rushed to the imperial capital, he found that the imperial capital had become a flesh and blood grinding plate, and the frenzied killing of countless soldiers made a large number of corpses in the imperial capital city have not had time to deal with it in time, and the smell of corpses on the ground has spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
Zhou Yu's army was blocked outside the imperial capital, and both sides were fighting to the death. Zhou Yu's Jingzhou naval army was unusually brave in battleship, but except on land, it was far from being the opponent of the army mobilized by these Eight Great Emperors. The bloody battle between the two sides ended after only one tentative confrontation, and Zhou Yu knew that even if he invested all his troops, it would be impossible to break through their defenses and rush into the Imperial City, in exchange for only greater sacrifices. Zhou Yu simply stood still outside the city and confronted the enemy, and at the same time restrained a large number of enemy troops.
The main force of the Shenwu Army led by Han Xin. and Li Jing each launched an attack on their worst enemy, both of whom were large war machines. Once it is running, it is a very terrifying existence. The battle between the two sides has entered a crazy stage from the beginning, countless soldiers have killed the enemy one after another, and the battle between the two sides is extremely fierce. Han Xin and Li Jing's troops were at a disadvantage, but relying on their superb command, they forcibly moved back the disadvantage of the entire battlefield.
The Shenwu Army is fighting fiercely everywhere, Yangzhou and Jingzhou are constantly sending reinforcements to various fronts, Xuzhou is desperately supporting the Jiaozhou Corps that has been fighting bloody battles with the demon clan, and Yuzhou and Yizhou are supporting the main forces of each army. This time, the war machine of the Shenwu Army was completely launched, countless weapons and arrows were transported to the front line, countless young men were armed, hurriedly entered the barracks, and after simple training, they were put into the battle on the battlefield.
In the city of Bingzhou, Chen Qingzhi only took 5,000 cavalry and suddenly developed to 200,000 cavalry under his command, and even many barbarian soldiers, after receiving support from the rear, Chen Qingzhi's shili continued to grow. However, the number and combat effectiveness of these barbarians are also extremely fierce, even if Chen Qingzhi designed to kill more troops, he still couldn't stop those crazy barbarian soldiers. The Yuntian Fortress was still surrounded by regiments, and Chen Qingzhi failed to relieve the siege several times, but sacrificed a large number of troops, which made Chen Qingzhi have to give up Jihua who relieved the siege of the Yuntian Fortress, and instead attacked the state and then Yanzhou, wanting to get a large amount of material supplies from the rear.
The soldiers under Chen Qingzhi are all brave and good at fighting, and the generals who sit down are more of the pride of the sky, and all of them are geniuses of the cavalry station. The military strength of Yanzhou was not strong, not to mention the full support of Xu Changyu, who was familiar with Yanzhou's military affairs, which made the garrison of Yanzhou defeated, and was soon attacked by Chen Qingzhi. Just when Chen Qingzhi wanted to completely pacify Bingzhou and Yanzhou in one go, the battle in Yuntian Fortress suddenly became tense, even though Chen Qingzhi had sent countless troops to support, but the barbarians suddenly seemed to have received some huge shili strong support, the new reinforcements were obviously different from the previous reinforcements, Chen Qingzhi was not able to get any advantage in several encounters with the enemy, which also forced Chen Qingzhi to change the current battle.
Chen Qingzhi dispatched almost all the troops under his command to support the Yuntian Fortress, but the battle in the Yuntian Fortress still did not ease in the slightest, and countless well-equipped barbarian soldiers swarmed towards the Yuntian Fortress like locusts. Chen Qingzhi's cavalry kept looking for favorable combat opportunities on the periphery, but they still couldn't stop these crazy barbarians. Chen Qingzhi and Tianwuhou could only stabilize the situation in front of them, but they did not have the slightest way to resolve the crisis in front of them.
This autumn is the bloody autumn of the Empire. The entire empire was immersed in war. Later historians studied this period of history. once made such an evaluation of this period of history, and it was the bloody battle in this autumn that made the Shenwu army on all fronts truly strong. It was precisely this autumn that a large number of soldiers were killed, which made the Shenwu Army the most powerful combat corps in the empire at that time, and gave the Shenwu Army an absolute right to speak in the empire.
"My lord, the military newspaper of Yizhou. A scout stumbled into the Daming Hall covered in blood, and when he said this, his body went weak and fell. The guards beside Liu Fan immediately stepped forward to check the scout's injuries, and finally shook their heads helplessly and asked the scout to be carried down. The soldiers picked up the report on the ground and sent it to Liu Fan, whose eyes were red. Since these enemy troops began to attack the palace, Liu Fan has not had a good night's sleep, and the battle day and night has also made Liu Fan extremely tired, but Liu Fan knows that he must not fall at this time, the biggest crisis has not yet come, and he must persevere.
It's not that everyone wants to secretly transmit the information of Yizhou in this way of scouting, but they don't have the slightest way, and the information that should have arrived in the imperial capital half a month ago has not been able to be delivered to Liu Fan's hands. Even if they used Eagle Teleportation, they were all blocked by the enemy. Zhou Yu, who had no way to get the information, could only organize a team of elite soldiers to take advantage of the night to forcibly open a road among millions of troops, and sent twenty teams of men. Only this group succeeded, and this scout was the only one left.
Bai Qi, Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian were also unusually tired, standing on Liu Fan's left and right. The intensity of the war can no longer be described in words, even if the elite troops were sent, and the nobles in the imperial capital supported them, they still couldn't stop the enemy soldiers who appeared in the flat ground, and these nobles were also killed and wounded, and now these nobles are also concentrated in the Daming Palace, relying on the strong defense of the palace to wait for help. They all knew that now they could only rely on themselves, the forces supported by all sides were blocked from the periphery, and the enemy's forces were also extremely strong, and it was obviously impossible to defeat them for a while. Even if the army of the Qinwang defeated these people, after defeating them, how much combat strength they could have, and how many troops they could come to the aid of the imperial capital, these were all unknown.
"Good, good, good. haha" Liu Fan looked at the information in his hand and said three good words in a row, and suddenly hahadaxiao got up, everyone looked at Liu Fan in confusion, only to see that Liu Fan's face quickly distorted, and his eyes revealed an unavoidable murderous aura, and a punch slammed into the case in front of him. The faces of all the generals changed, Bai Qi stepped forward and picked up the information on the ground, and immediately gasped. Everyone hurriedly surrounded them, and when they saw the information in Bai Qi's hand, everyone gasped.
"Fang Jiao is really calculating, I haven't troubled these Yingzhou people yet, they have come to the door first, okay, good, good!" Liu Fan's tone was full of murderous spirit and said coldly: "Wei Zhongxian tried to send my order to Pang Juan in Yizhou as quickly as possible, I Liu Fan took all the responsibility for this battle, I don't care what tactics he uses, I must let these Yingzhou dwarves know that fighting with me Liu Fan is looking for death." Passed the order to Guo Jia, Zhu Wenzheng, Zheng He, the safety of Yizhou is related to the safety of the world, if Yizhou loses, they don't have to live. Summoning the order to Aobai, if the three Fangjiao brothers have one less head, I will use his head to make up the number. ”
"No!" everyone's hearts were also shocked, and they were shocked when they saw the information in their hands, they were not mistaken, this was the first time Liu Fan had given such a murderous order. Liu Fan actually gave Guo Jia a death order, you must know that Guo Jia's status in the Shenwu Army is absolutely undoubtable.
"My lord, Yizhou's troops are weak, our navy warships are incomplete, and our armor is not complete, if we fight with these Yingzhou people, we are not their opponents at all. Do you want Han Xin to transfer troops back to help?" Bai Qi cautiously suggested on the side, now that the main force of the Shenwu Army under Han Xin has exchanged fire with the main force of the Eight Great Emperor Shang, it is definitely not a simple matter to transfer troops back to help, but Yizhou's troops are too weak, and now the only force that can support Yizhou is the main force in Han Xin's hands.
Liu Fan raised his hand to stop Bai Qi, and said in a cold voice: "No, I believe Guo Jia and them." Zhu Wenzheng guarded the Nanyang line with 50,000 elite soldiers. I dare not say that it is as stable as Mount Tai. But when these dwarves attacked Nanyang City, Zhu Wenzheng would definitely give them a big surprise. On the front line of Chengdu, there are Pang Juan with 100,000 elite soldiers under his command, while Guo Jia guards the rear, and Zheng He commands the navy, wanting to conquer my Yizhou, they are dreaming. ”
After listening to Liu Fan's words, everyone nodded heavily, if the war in Yizhou was very critical, Guo Jia would definitely not write the battle report in this way. There is only one reason why Guo Jia wrote this. That is, the war in Yizhou is still under his control, but the methods of war are very cruel. Liu Fan also saw the meaning of Guo Jia's words, so he proposed in the order to Guo Jia to take responsibility for this operation.
"But this time, the only thing that makes us feel haode is the military report of the Linshan camp of Ao Bai this time, Fang Jiao raised troops to attack my Yizhou at this time, and he should be ready to pay the price. If Ao Bai hadn't been able to send the heads of the three Fangjiao brothers to my desk this time, his Linshan camp would have been reduced to a supporting role for the Shenwu Army forever. Liu Fan said to everyone in a solemn tone. Of course, everyone didn't understand Liu Fan's thoughts about Aobai, this time Aobai's army did bring him a surprise, but behind this surprise could not hide the fact that Liu Fan didn't like Aobai. If Ao Bai can really cut off the heads of the three brothers in the lower corner with 100,000 troops this time, Liu Fan doesn't mind giving Ao Bai more chances, if not. Ao Bai can only continue to play his supporting role for the rest of his life, and will never change.
"Deliver this battle report to the three armies. Tell all the soldiers that hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yizhou are facing the siege of millions of enemies, and the millions of troops of our army can't withstand the attack of the enemy's millions of troops. Liu Fan looked at the empty Daming Hall and sat down weakly.
"Xianggong, don't worry, now the soldiers are desperate, and it is already the best effort of the soldiers to be able to defend the palace. A pair of gentle hands gently placed on Liu Fan's skull, constantly massaging Liu Fan. Liu Fan hummed softly, and fell into Liu Fan's arms, quietly enjoying this rare tranquility. The battles in the past few days have also made Liu Fan extremely tired, and a large number of battles have consumed a lot of Liu Fan's physical strength, and also made Liu Fan's spirit very tired.
The war in the imperial capital is still going on, both sides have become gamblers who have lost red-eyed, at this time no one can afford to lose, both sides are betting on this zuihou breath, no matter who is the first to give away this breath then they are the losers of this war. Zhang Bai constantly urged his army to attack the palace every day, and now as long as he conquers the palace, he is the king of the entire Tianlong Empire, but the resistance of the Shenwu army is also extremely fierce, especially these soldiers are veterans who have come down alive from the bloody battles, and they know how to hide themselves on the battlefield and kill the enemy.
All the generals under Liu Fan's command even climbed to the top of the city to direct this defensive battle, except for a few necessary personnel to guard the palace, even the dragoon army and Jin Wuwei were also transferred to the city to defend it. Even a large number of eunuchs in the palace were organized, and they could be pulled into the battlefield at any time as long as the war required them, serving as cannon fodder for this campaign. The battle continued, countless screams fell from everywhere, ladders, wells, boarding cars, countless war equipment activities in the imperial capital, and the surrounding area of the imperial palace had been completely destroyed.
"Siege cones, send the siege cones in the rear. "The battle in the palace was extremely fierce, countless soldiers frantically climbed the ladder to climb the palace wall, the soldiers on the boarding car did not have time to open the gate at the top, they were penetrated by several giant crossbow arrows, and hundreds of soldiers on the head of the city pulled the rope in their hands together, shouting neat trumpets at the same time, and the huge boarding car was destroyed immediately.
"One, two, three, hit!" At the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace, a steel crashing cone was attacking the steel gate of Xuanwu Gate after the neat slogans of thousands of soldiers.
Boom, a loud noise made the entire city gate sway violently, and dozens of soldiers above the city head slipped and fell from the city head with a scream. The captain at the head of the city shouted loudly at his soldiers, and the thick rolling logs were smashed off the top of the city. The rumbling and powerful crash did not capture the slightest drums of war, except for a buzzing sound in the ears of the soldiers who were pushing the crashing cones.
"Block the gates for me, seal the gates for me. A brigade commander, covered in blood, shouted at his soldiers, and thousands of soldiers rushed to the city gate with great difficulty, carrying the boulders that had been demolished the palace piece by piece. Regardless of the shaking gates, the soldiers threw down the boulders in their hands and ran frantically to the rear, and soon the boulders were lifted again and blocked at the city gates.
