352. Chapter 350
In the midst of controversy, in the Blue Moon Capital, King Jin Yanyi ascended the throne!
The civil and military officials of the Blue Moon Empire held an enthronement ceremony for them in fear, originally thinking that the Haotian army would take the opportunity to attack, and for this reason, they also deliberately asked the defenders of the capital to strengthen their vigilance, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
The Haotian army actually did not take advantage of the chaos to attack the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, they still surrounded it but did not fight, not only that, but they also continued to maintain an open attitude towards the south gate, allowing the soldiers and civilians of the Blue Moon Empire to enter and exit freely from the south gate!
On the day that King Xin ascended the throne, the Haotian army, which was responsible for advancing from the middle of the Blue Moon Empire, finally conquered the last important acropolis in the north of the Blue Moon Empire - Amazaki City!
The Haotian Middle Road Army consisted of 200,000 Zhenwei Legion, 200,000 Dunwu Legion, 200,000 Jinglin Legion plus 200,000 Haotian Praetorian Guards, a total of 800,000, starting from Tianqi City and heading straight to the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, successfully joining forces with the other two armies!
At this point, Haotian's 2.3 million army has successfully joined forces outside the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, once again forming a huge psychological pressure on the defenders in the city!
Originally, he thought that after the Haotian army successfully joined forces, it would surround the Blue Moon Capital, but as a result, Du Long continued to let go of the blockade line of the South Gate, allowing the soldiers and civilians of the Blue Moon Empire to enter and exit freely!
With King Xin's official accession to the throne, the people of the capital, who were still maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, and the hot-blooded young people of the volunteer miscellaneous army, finally no longer had any illusions, and they all set foot on the ranks of escaping from the capital of the Blue Moon Empire!
For a country that does not have to dedicate itself to it, the loss of the people's will and the army's morale can be imagined!
Here it is necessary to reintroduce the situation of the defenders of the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, the east gate and the south gate of the capital of the Blue Moon Empire are garrisoned by 200,000 Praetorian Guards, and the west gate and north gate are garrisoned by the 200,000 Zhen Navy Regiment!
The army stationed at the four gates reached 800,000, and in addition, another 100,000 troops were transferred from the southeast and southwest theaters, so the defenders of the Blue Moon Capital City reached one million!
In addition, inside the Blue Moon Capital Palace, there are 50,000 Imperial Forest Army garrisoned!
As everyone knows, the Zhenhai Navy Regiment originally did not have 400,000, only a few hundred thousand regular regiments, and then, on the way to the capital, hundreds of thousands of volunteers gathered under the command of the Zhenhai Naval Regiment!
With the approval of the former emperor Jin Yanzhen, he re-selected more than 200,000 young and middle-aged people from these volunteer armies to join the Zhenhai Regiment, and scattered his more than 100,000 horses, took some volunteers with them, and stepped up military training for them!
In other words, the newly requisitioned 200,000 troops of the Earthquake Navy Regiment were recognized by the Empire and had military supplies, while other volunteers who were not recruited into the Earthquake Navy Regiment could only replenish supplies at their own expense.
For this reason, General Zhenhai applied to the Military Aircraft Department many times, wanting to apply for material supplies for those volunteers, but unfortunately, how could the Military Aircraft Department under the control of the four major families meet his request?
The reply of the Military Aircraft Department is that the limited grain and grass cannot be wasted on these ordinary people, otherwise, once the people of the capital follow suit, and the army rations alone do not work hard, the military rations stored in the capital may be unsustainable!
As a result, those volunteers who did not have a formal army establishment did not receive any subsidies and could only rely on a little money from themselves to survive, and their enthusiasm was quickly extinguished by the cruel reality!
After learning that the South City Gate was open for free travel, these volunteer troops composed of ordinary people or rangers almost ran out, since their enthusiasm is just a puddle of shit in the eyes of others, so why bother to be cheap? !
At this point, in the entire capital of the Blue Moon Empire, there are only more than 200,000 volunteers absorbed by the Zhen Navy Regiment, and they are all recruits with insufficient training and actual combat experience!
And the 400,000 Praetorian Guards, half of which are controlled by the four major families, the other 200,000 are jointly controlled by the Zheng, Yin, and Ai clans, and the 200,000 troops drawn back from the southeast and southwest belong to the reserve army and are also controlled by the clans of the Qinzhen Navy Regiment!
After calculation, the entire army defending the city was only controlled by more than 200,000 in the hands of the emperor, but because the three major spirit level masters were on his side, a weak balance was formed between the two sides!
In the Haotian Marshal Camp, the generals of the three armies gathered, and on the commander's seat, Du Long, the young commander, sat on top of it, and behind him stood two female generals in silver-white uniforms and heroic posture, which were his two fiancées!
In addition, there are three special seats next to the boss's seat, on which are the three spirit level beings of the Haotian Empire, which are naturally the old emperor and the two elders of Du and Wei!
These three Haotian Spirit Rank masters were all listening in the tent this time, and they didn't say anything from beginning to end, after this battle, Du Long's performance was obvious to all, and they were completely relieved.
"Marshal, dare to ask why the three armies gathered here, but instead of attacking the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, they continued to open its south gate and let the soldiers and civilians in the capital enter and leave freely?!" Kang Tuo, the commander of the First Regiment of Guide, opened his mouth with a puzzled face and asked everyone's doubts.
"The reason is very simple, it's still the same sentence! If we attack with all our might, although we can conquer the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, but in the face of the million-dollar Blue Moon army that swears to the death, even if we can conquer it, I'm afraid we will pay a heavy price! This is what I don't want to see!" Du Long nodded and replied directly.
"Oh?!, dare you ask the marshal if he already has a plan?!" asked the Prairie King.
Du Long can only say that I will win this decisive battle in the Blue Moon Capital with as few casualties as possible! This battle is a matter of life and death for the two empires, so I have to act cautiously!" Du Long scratched his head and laughed dryly......
At this moment, the capital of the Blue Moon Empire can be described as chaotic, with ten rooms and nine empty houses, and most people only leave people who are not afraid of death in their homes to guard their homes there!
The taverns and shops in the city are also ten and nine levels, and only a small number of people have ventured to continue to make war profits there, raising prices to a prohibitive state.
In the whole city, most of the people who came and went were soldiers of various legions, and most of the people who patronized those taverns were soldiers!
Due to the complexity of the legions in the city, not all of them have the same strict military discipline as the Zhenhai Naval Regiment, and as long as they don't blow the battle horn, these soldiers occasionally sneak out and there is no one to control them.
On Jianlong Street, there is a tavern named Changsheng, which is full of people at the moment, and this relatively low-grade tavern is already full of soldiers from various legions.
At the window on the second floor of the tavern, there was a group of soldiers wearing Praetorian Guard uniforms, the armor on these people was crooked, and some people thought that the helmets were in the way, or put them on the table, or threw them directly on the ground, which was completely a ruffian's virtue.
"Look and see! There's another group of new recruits from the Earthquake Regiment!" a red-faced, drunken Praetorian Guard captain patted the window and pointed to a group of Earthquake Navy Regiment soldiers patrolling from far and near.
His voice was particularly loud, and naturally reached the ears of all the members of the Zhenhai Patrol Team patrolling below, and in this regard, although all the soldiers of the patrol team looked angry, they all chose to ignore these Praetorian Guard soldiers and continue to move forward.
It's not been a day or two since this kind of thing happened, they have already been strictly ordered by their superiors not to clash with other legionnaires, and the goal of their patrol is to supervise the internal problems of the Earthquake Naval Regiment, not to meddle in the affairs of other legions!
"Hahaha! Sure enough, it's a group of soft eggs cultivated by the Zhenhai Naval Regiment, relying on these soft-footed shrimp to guard the capital, isn't that a waste of food?!"
"Hahaha......" Behind the window on the second floor, bursts of unbridled ridicule immediately sounded.
In the Changsheng Tavern, not only the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard at the window on the second floor were loudly laughing at the patrol of the Earthquake Navy Regiment below, but in the tavern, the soldiers of other legions also followed suit!
To tell the truth, in the capital, the strict military discipline of the Zhenhai Naval Regiment, which not only forbade his subordinates to drink alcohol, but also did not allow them to go to the streets to disturb the people without permission, seemed a little incompatible with the management of other legions!
Under the stirring of some well-intentioned people, the soldiers of other legions began to subconsciously provoke the patrol squad of the Zhenhai Regiment, and all kinds of foul language emerged one after another, and the officers and men of the Zhenhai Navy Regiment were already humiliated!
Syllable!
I saw that one of the soldiers of the earthquake sea patrol finally couldn't help it, directly took off his military helmet and threw it on the ground, stretched out his hand and pointed at the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard at the window and scolded angrily: "I'm X, you damn forbidden army! Who is the soft-footed shrimp? Who is the soft-footed shrimp that wastes military rations?
"Yo hey, hey, this recruit dares to scold our entire Praetorian Legion! You really have the courage of an ambitious leopard?!Brothers, smash this son ......of a bitch to death," one of the Praetorian Guard soldiers immediately encouraged, and then took the lead in throwing a pot of hot soup on the table.
With a bang, this pot of hot soup happened to smash right next to this group of earthquake patrol teams, and for a while, the hot soup and broken porcelain pieces were scattered and splashed in all directions, making several patrol soldiers of the earthquake navy regiment who bore the brunt of the soup scream.
"Brothers, we are here to serve the country, not to humiliate these scumbags!"
Although their captain tried his best to appease, unfortunately, what was the use of appeasement under the anger of the crowd?
More than a dozen patrol members picked up some hard objects such as stones from the side of the street, and began to fight back, smashing back to the second floor of the Changsheng Tavern.
After throwing stones and the like on the second floor, many flew in through the window, affecting the other people in the hall on the second floor.
From the second floor of the Changsheng Tavern, there were constantly things such as bowls and basins being thrown down, and in the back, large hard objects such as tables and chairs were also thrown down, smashing more than a dozen patrol officers of the Zhenhai Navy Regiment to the point of blood!
"Fuck it, brothers, fuck them, kill them!" Finally, the soldiers of the Naval Regiment couldn't bear it anymore, and they picked up the crossbows they were carrying, and then shot them at the second-floor window.
"Ahh
The superiority of condescending, coupled with the fact that some people had already prepared for a long time, after only a few rounds of shooting, the members of the patrol of more than a dozen earthquake regiments all fell.
Almost all of them were hit by arrows in the vital parts, and they couldn't see it, but one of them was 'lucky' not to be shot, and pretended to be dead and escaped lying on the ground!
Seeing that there was a lot of trouble, in the entire Changsheng Tavern, the soldiers of all legions fled from this place of right and wrong, so that they would not stay here stupidly and wait to be caught.
