Chapter 1034
Dahua Emperor has not experienced such a catastrophe for many years: first, he was hit by two ballistic missiles and almost killed the emperor, but now there is another cannon.

For these civilians living in the imperial capital, the past year has been full of disasters. They have experienced more stories than the past 200 years combined.

"Why are you still shooting?" Some civilians gathered in the north of the city asked nervously as they looked at the smoke column rising in the distance.

"Who knows? It was just gunshots before, but now it's fine, even the cannons are used." Another civilian was also nervous.

Just kidding, this is the imperial capital!If it's not safe here, where else in the world is safe?
"Who knows what happened in the south of the city?" Some people still asked curiously. They really wanted to know what the south of the imperial capital looked like.

While they were talking, a car full of soldiers rushed across the street in front of them, followed by a second and a third.

These soldiers were all transferred into the city from outside the city. At the same time, Li Mingshun's 150mm heavy artillery troops deployed outside the city were firing towards the south of the city, and they had already fired almost 200 shells.

At the beginning, everyone was still panicking, but gradually, everyone found that the shells were all concentrated in the south of the city, so they felt relieved.

Zhao Jie had no way to fight back because he charged lightly and did not carry heavy artillery.Li Mingshun's troops could only be allowed to open fire, blowing up the neighborhood they were defending into rubble.

Li Mingshun was dispatching troops and generals. He had to solve Zhao Jie's trouble before more support from Zhao Jie arrived.

Outside the city, Zhao Ji's side could hardly be counted on. Compared with Zhao Jie, who was good at fighting, Zhao Ji, the prince, was just an embroidered pillow, and at best he could only be regarded as a straw bag.

His command level is not as good as Zhao Jie's, and the troops in his hand may not be as capable as Zhao Jie's: those so-called elite prince's guards are usually good at intimidating people, but there is still a certain gap between them and field troops.

So Zhao Ji's raid on the airport had actually failed, but what Zhao Ji and Li Mingshun didn't expect was that their tragic battle at the airport in the south actually had a certain effect.

Zhao Jie prepared dozens of DC-3 transport planes to fly some soldiers over to join the war. Unfortunately, these planes could not land at all because the airport had been destroyed during the battle.

Dozens of DC-3s could only be forced to land because they ran out of fuel, and none of the soldiers in them survived the forced landing, which basically meant that the entire army was wiped out.

Zhao Jie lost at least 500 people inexplicably, which made the troops in his hands even more precious.He had no way to attack, so he could only stick to the south of the city honestly and fight positional battles with Li Mingshun in the city.

Because of the lack of troops, Zhao Jie had no other choice. His strength did not support his ambition, so he could only hold on temporarily to ensure that Zhao Ji and Li Mingshun would not join forces and pose a greater threat to him.

In fact, Zhao Ji had a better choice at this time: he could make a big circle, take the northeast direction, bypass the outer periphery of the imperial capital, and meet Li Mingshun.

This is actually the easiest and safest way.It's just that Zhao Ji was not reconciled. He felt that such a choice would waste Zhao Jie's advantage in attacking Zhao Jie from both sides.

As the battle continued, after consecutive defeats, Zhao Ji began to tend to join Li Mingshun first. He felt that the troops around him were too thin, which made him very unsafe.

In addition, the 1 troops he mobilized from Dongqing moved very slowly. In fact, the so-called two-sided attack was actually bankrupt because of Zhao Ji's own hip stretching.

So, on this night, Zhao Ji led the remaining troops in his hands and began to move to the northeast. He was going to bypass Zhao Ji in the south of the city and meet Li Mingshun.

Because he received a telegram from Li Mingshun, hoping that he would return to the imperial city as soon as possible to win the hearts of the people and defeat the rebellion.

In fact, this telegram was indeed sent by Li Mingshun. His main purpose of sending this telegram was to fear that Zhao Ji would go on a rampage and lose his own life.

Facts proved that Li Mingshun's worries were correct: Zhao Jie did launch a surprise attack on Zhao Ji's camp that night, and Zhao Jie personally led an elite company that he could find to surprise Zhao Ji, but it was all in vain.

Zhao Jie immediately judged that Zhao Ji was about to enter the city, and he immediately launched a pursuit. In the middle of the night, he caught up with Zhao Ji who was running away. The two sides fought a fierce battle near the east gate of the city.

Zhao Jijun was killed and defeated, and Zhao Ji almost died in the chaos.Fortunately, some loyal and brave men saved his life. The two sides fought fiercely until dawn, and Zhao Jie was outnumbered before retreating.

But this battle allowed Zhao Jie to relieve the threat behind him. He could mobilize more troops into the urban area and fight fiercely with Li Mingshun's troops.

The quality of the troops on both sides was almost the same. Li Mingshun relied on the elite Forbidden Army, while Zhao Jie relied on his own elite soldiers.Everyone has support, and the battle situation is maintained in an evenly matched state.

The next day, the surrounding troops supporting Li Mingshun and Zhao Ji began to enter the city one after another, and Zhao Jie's new batch of reinforcements also arrived. The number of troops on both sides suddenly increased, and the battlefield became even more intense. bloody.

Li Mingshun relied on his more cannons and continued to attack fiercely. With the reserve team on Zhao Jie's side, he was more calm and able to deal with it with ease.

In fact, from the perspective of pure military strength, although Li Mingshun still had the advantage, his advantage was no longer obvious.

Zhao Jie's troops are fighting more and more, and they have obviously taken the initiative. If things continue to develop like this, then Zhao Jie is very likely to win the battle for the throne.

But no one can predict the variables on the battlefield. Just when Zhao Jie thought that he would be sure of winning if he just kept going, another army appeared behind him.

This troop was transferred by Zhao Ji from Dongqing for reinforcements. Although they walked a bit slowly, they arrived after all.The autonomy of this army is quite high, and its combat effectiveness is not bad. It even launched an attack after preparing, and immediately knocked down the Chengnan Airport occupied by Zhao Jie.

Zhao Jie, who always thought that he was safe behind him, did not expect this. He also arrested some civilians to repair the airport, trying to repair the runway so that it can be used again.

But he never expected that his troops would lose the airport, and he would once again be caught in the enemy's situation.

Annoyed, Zhao Jie mobilized his troops to launch a counterattack. Because of poor communication, Zhao Ji's troops who occupied the airport failed to keep the results. They fought alone and were finally defeated, and the airport once again fell into Zhao Jie's hands.

When Li Mingshun got the news and tried to pinch Zhao Jiejun, Zhao Jie had already solved the trouble behind him and returned to the south of the city again. Li Mingshun lost an excellent opportunity.

While the Imperial Capital War was continuing, Luo Xiao waited in Hezhe for a full 20 support troops from Fengjiang.

These troops are not simple. They are basically veterans who have experienced many battles, and their weapons and equipment are also sophisticated and scary: they are actually equipped with a lot of Type 5 tanks from the Great Hua Empire, and there are as many as two divisions of Type 3 tanks.

With these armored troops and He Zhe's material reserves, Luo Xiao, the frontline commander who had just been promoted to lieutenant general, was full of energy and immediately launched a new round of attack.

There weren't too many defenders in the lower rein, so how could they have seen such a huge offensive formation.After receiving the telegram from the Fengjiang Army to persuade them to surrender, they immediately made a wise choice.

More than [-] defenders abandoned the city and surrendered. Fengjiang's soldiers occupied Xiaren without bloodshed. The vanguard immediately moved forward and rushed to Dongqing, the gate of the imperial capital.

For the Tang Empire, the good news came one after another: Luo Xiao sent two thousand troops to the wasteland, and the guard of the wasteland was also a bachelor, so he handed in his guns and surrendered, and the wasteland city was also in the hands of the Fengjiang army.

One-third of the Dahua Empire has fallen into the hands of Fengjiang Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu's men are strong and strong, and they are already on the verge of sweeping the Dahua Empire.

First of all, the number of troops in Fengjiang is really scary: there are 80 troops from the Zhao Chen Group that surrendered, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the direction of Guiguang and Jiange. Luo Xiao also has 30 troops including Fengjiang's reinforcements. The military strength exceeds 150 million.

This is no longer comparable to Zhao Jie and Zhao Ji.What's more, Zhao Yu's back is backed by the Tang Empire, the support is timely and the supplies are sufficient, safe and already has a huge depth.

Luo Xiao's advancing speed was very fast. Under the banner of Zhao Yu, he hardly encountered any resistance.The Dahua Empire has already experienced a year of war. Under such circumstances, the people are determined and have long been unwilling to fight.

They heard that Zhao Yu, who can make money and understand trade, is back, and they are too happy. How could anyone choose to resist?

According to the judgment of the Tang Empire Military Advisory Group, they will be able to capture Anqing within seven days, and then they can attack the imperial capital.

The loss of the lower rein suddenly made the atmosphere in the imperial capital tense. Zhao Ji knew how deceitful the big hole he dug in the direction of Anqing was, so he immediately consulted Li Mingshun for countermeasures.

But Li Mingshun was just a general, and he didn't have any ideas. Only then did he remember that those court ministers seemed to be taking refuge in the north of the city.

So he hurried to the north of the city with Zhao Ji, only to find that the building was already empty, and none of the five families of Chu Muzhou, Jiang Run, Wang Yucai, Chen Jing, and Zhou Qiang could be found.

"Where's Shen Chuan? Minister of the Ministry of Punishment... Where is he?" Zhao Ji only remembered at this time, and the Minister of the Ministry of War and his cronies.

Li Mingshun told the truth: "The shameless villain Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment had taken refuge with the fifth prince before, and now he probably has gone to hug Zhao Jie's thigh! Shen Shangshu...is missing, and I haven't found anyone until now."
