Chapter 107: Enter the Imperial City

As night fell, an army of 20,000 began to emerge from the woods, and was quickly assembled.

This place is only fifteen miles away from Wudu City, a rapid march, Chu Chen can reach Wudu City in no more than two incense sticks, however, it is still early at this time, Chu Chen is not in a hurry to march, although there is no elite in Wudu City, but the defending army is more than twice as many as their 20,000 people, the entire Wudu City, at least 50,000 troops guard, in addition to the five or six thousand imperial forest troops in the imperial city, together, is three times the army led by Chu Chen now, so, if it is attacked hard, Wudu City can be taken, but his soldiers will suffer heavy casualties。

Chu Chen would never risk the lives of his soldiers, he would exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory.

The army set off, and after half an hour, they came to the vicinity of the walls of Wudu City.

"Liu Chuang, go and gather all the soldiers with strong martial arts in the army for me. Coming to the vicinity of the city wall, Chu Chen said to Liu Chuang.

"Yes. Liu Chuang immediately gave an order, and soon, hundreds of people were gathered in the 20,000 army, among these people, more than 20 people were the old people in the original Tianchen army, and the other seventy or eighty people Chu Chen didn't know, but the divine sense swept over them, but it also felt good, although they didn't refine their internal strength, but they were good at external kung fu, and they were not ordinary soldiers.

"Twenty-three of you follow me up to the wall first, and then the rest of you go up again, and when you get to the top, your task is to open the gates as quickly as possible, and let the army into the city. Chu Chen instructed the hundred or so people gathered by Liu Chuang.

The people took the command. Chu Chen led people to the city in person, and Liu Chuang led the army to follow closely and lurked near the city gate.

The city walls of Wudu City are one zhang higher than the walls of other cities, even if they are a few feet higher than the walls of border fortresses like Lushan City, and the city walls are wider and thicker, if they are attacked, ordinary troops do not have tens of thousands of people to fill in, I am afraid that they will not be able to capture Wuling City; even if Chu Chen personally leads a large army to attack, at least a few thousand casualties will be required to break through.

"Up!" Chu Chen gave an order, and the first one flew up the city wall, walking quickly on the city wall, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Twenty-three people followed closely and quickly climbed the city wall, but when Chu Chen reached the time of almost half a cup of tea on the city wall, these twenty-three people climbed up, and then, they did not stop and threw down the rope on their bodies, and the top end was tied to the battlements on the city wall.

"The trained soldiers came, try to deal with them silently. At this time, there were patrolling soldiers on the left and right sides of the city wall, each team of about ten people, Chu Chen immediately ordered the twenty-three people to divide into two groups and go to kill the enemy.

Sure enough, it was a veteran who had been trained by himself, and in just a short time, the two teams of patrol soldiers who came over on the city wall were all resolved, and they were solved without even having time to let out a scream.

It didn't take long for the soldiers under the city wall to finally climb up with ropes, and then these soldiers galloped towards the city gate, and Chu Chen, with twenty-three people divided into two teams, began to clean up the Chu soldiers on the city wall, lest the army enter the city and be discovered by the Chu soldiers on the city wall.

Not long after, the city gate was opened, but there was also a lot of noise, which alarmed many Chu soldiers nearby, and they hurriedly sent reinforcements to the south gate.

Since the sneak attack has failed, it can only be killed in the open, but fortunately, the south gate has been opened, and Liu Chuang rushed in with the army on time, and the city gate was not closed by the Chu soldiers.

"Take the palace with me and kill!!" Chu Chen flew down from the city wall, landed on his horse, and with a wave of his big hand, he took the head of an enemy general, and by the way, he snatched a long sword from his hand, and with a wave of the long sword, Chu Chen shouted.

"Kill, kill!!!kill !!" The army followed Chu Chen and drank together, and followed Chu Chen along Xuanwu Avenue to kill directly to the palace of Chu State.

Along the way, Chu Chen and the others met resistance, but as soon as Chu Chen made a move, he cut off the head of the enemy's leading leader, so that the Chu army was in chaos for a short time, and it couldn't stop the footsteps of the Celestial Empire army at all.

In one breath, Chu Chen led the army to the gate of the palace thirty zhang in front of it.

At this time, on the walls of the imperial palace, thousands of archers were ready, and they would release their arrows as soon as Chu Chen stepped into their range.

Chu Chen led the army to kill all the way, and he had already alarmed the people in the palace, and at this time, they were ready to defend.

"Sir, they are ready, and if we attack like this, we will surely suffer heavy casualties. Liu Chuang said beside Chu Chen.

"Take arrows and set them on the ground for me. Chu Chen stared at those archers on the imperial city.

As soon as Chu Chen spoke, the surrounding archers and soldiers took out the arrows in the arrow galleys one after another and placed them in front of Chu Chen, and in the blink of an eye, the arrows on the thousands of archers were placed in front of Chu Chen.

"Liu Chuang, send someone to call them to surrender!" Chu Chen instructed Liu Chuang again.

Liu Chuang immediately called someone out to persuade the imperial city to surrender, and at this time, Chu Chen's hands were already quickly twisting the seal, mobilizing the mana in his body, and he was ready to deal with the thousands of archers on the city wall at once.

"Anti-thief, you want us to surrender, you dream, when the army of the backer king comes back, you will die without a place to be buried!" shouted a general in the imperial city.

"Do you think the backer king can come back?" Chu Chen sneered, at this time, the seal had been twisted, and with a wave of his sleeve, thousands of arrows on the ground suddenly made a buzzing sound, and then, flying out at a very fast speed, no one could see clearly how these arrows flew, and the people in the imperial city didn't know where these arrows flew from, and they didn't realize until they were hit by arrows, but it was too late, just a few breaths, and thousands of archers on the city wall all fell to the ground.

"Kill!" Chu Chen shouted, and suddenly, the army behind him rushed out, and not long after, the gate of the imperial city was smashed by the internal martial arts, and the army rushed into the palace in an instant.

Chu Chen followed the army into the palace, only to see the corpses on the ground, there were soldiers under him, but more of them were Chu soldiers.

The army was like a bamboo, and it stopped until it reached the square outside the palace hall, because, at this time, the soldiers in the imperial city were gathered here, in front of the main hall, there was an old man in a dragon robe, next to the old man, was a young man, only a few years older than Chu Chen, no need to guess to know, this is the current emperor and prince of Chu State.

Around the emperor and the crown prince, there were all civil and military officials of the Chu State, and when the army entered the city, they hurriedly ran into the palace to report the news, but none of them expected that the army of the Celestial Empire would come so quickly that they did not have time to flee at all.
