The devil is coming

Chapter 863 The Imperial Capital falls!
It’s not that your eyes are sleepy in the morning, but everything comes back to life in the morning;
It’s not like the sun is shining brightly at noon and the heat is in full swing, burning people’s feet and drying their scalp at the same time;
But at dusk.
It seems that a surprise attack is more suitable for the morning style, but in this world, it is difficult to have absolutely perfect things.
Sneak, go around, cross the river, and then gallop forward. Putting aside the fact that Xue San and Chen Xiong were transferred out to Xiangsi Mountain as a cover early, and putting aside the ten thousand who stayed with the prince, originally, Chen Yang and Fan Li, At least there should be a number of thirty-five thousand.
The people chosen to join the army were veterans of the Sushan Camp and selected elites from other departments, and neither the attack on Lanyang City nor Chuzhou City caused much damage to the Yan people;
But when it came time to go to the capital, Chen Yang's tribe only had [-] generals left.
This meant that at least five thousand of his subordinates either died of exhaustion, fell behind, or simply got lost during this horrific detour in a short period of time.
For an ordinary army, this situation is normal, which is why the more troops and horses there are, the slower the march. But for the elite of the Chinese army who used to be King Jingnan himself, it caused such a huge disaster. The non-combat losses are enough to show what price the Yan army paid for this "surprise".
but,
After seeing the city walls of Shangjing City,
top down,
Whether he is a general or the lowest knight,
Even when I exhale, I can feel the smell of blood deep in my throat.
At this point, I felt it was worth it!
Go to the capital,
Right in front of them!
This is a majestic capital, but it is also an extremely weak capital. It is there, so quiet, so graceful,
it,
Waiting for your own good fortune!
Chen Yang knew that this was an opportunity that Prince Pingxi had obtained by using himself as bait.
He knew better that as long as he could break into the capital, the guilt he had committed at the Sushan Camp would finally be wiped away.
Chen Yang no longer had the brain to think about anything else. Even when he first received the order, he had thought about it, not whether Prince Pingxi's almost "crazy" military decision could succeed.
What I was thinking about instead was that after the success of this military adventure, for my troops and for Prince Pingxi himself, whether they would be able to get a chance to surface and exhale again after the joy and victory.
Because this time, they have no reinforcements. If they divide their troops after going deep alone, they will only make their situation more and more passive.
Prince Pingxi himself is still surrounded by various armies from the Qian Kingdom.
Even if he captured Shangjing City, how should he respond next?
In fact, whether he can survive Gan Ren's crazy revenge and counterattack without being suffocated to death, all of this is still up in the air.
However, this is also the reason why Ganren did not predict this in advance. You can use deduction to predict most of your opponent's motives and behaviors, but often, you will not judge that he may "send death"!
Chen Yang thought of the lecture that the prince gave to the entire army that night. The captain who came to listen was asked to follow the tradition of Eastern Jin Dynasty and repeat it to his soldiers when he went back.
The prince said that night that he would take the big guy to pursue something, not wealth, not women, not land, but...glory.
This,
Is this the glory that the prince wants?
At this point, Chen Yang no longer wants to think about the future gains and losses. The only thing he wants to do now is to taste the magnificent... delicious food in front of him!
In the kit that Fan Li opened, there was the word "Ula".
The prince was in trouble again, but Fan Li was very satisfied.
Under this situation,
Only these two words could make his whole body numb.
The woodcutter who used to cut down people as firewood and collect them, and accumulate their bones to build a palace, loved this kind of grand spectacle of killing the most;
In this atmosphere,
Fan Li's skin began to show a strange red color;
His armor had long been abandoned on the road, but at this moment, he roared and rushed to the front, like a wild beast, rushing towards his sheepfold.
Chen Yang roared: "Send my military order and charge the city!"
The messengers began to roar and convey this order. Their voices had long been mute, but it didn't matter. After the Chinese army saw the forward army charging forward, they immediately understood, and the same was true for the rear army.
This is a tired army, but the tempting trip to the capital is enough for them to squeeze out a new energy at this time.
After all, this capital city is much more "thirst-quenching" than plums.
At that time, Shangjing City was attacked by Li Fusheng. Although it was just an act of venting anger, it actually experienced traces of war.
But at that time, there were officials and defenders in Shangjing City who had been admitted early. Although the army did not dare to go out to fight in the field, there was no problem in defending the city.
Logically speaking, because of Li Fusheng back then, Qian Guo should pay more attention to the defense issues of Shangjing.
For example, in the construction of city walls, the cleaning of private houses outside the city walls, and the construction of satellite castles, Ganren had great experience in civil engineering, but here, it was ineffective.
Because Shangjing City is the heart of the entire Qian Kingdom and involves too many interests. If you want to transform it into a military center, you have to weaken its functions in other directions. But the problem is that the original Shangjing City has long been It was running overwhelmed. This large town accommodated the largest population in the Xia Dynasty and even in the world today. It required too many manpower and material resources and inevitable operation to achieve the nutrients needed for its own existence.
Even though the Yan army once raided the capital, the population of Bianzhou County, that is, the population under the emperor's feet, did not decrease, but expanded even more dramatically.
After the Northern Territory was swept away by the Yan people, all the people in the Northern Territory who had the conditions began to migrate to the capital;
A rebellion in the southwest, coupled with the friction between Chu State Zeng and Qian State in the southeast, whenever a war breaks out, a large number of people will instinctively choose to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and defect to the emperor.
In fact, when the Shangjing City was first built, its defensive capabilities and military role must be taken into consideration. But gradually, it will become the same as the imperial palace. When any imperial palace is built, its defensive properties will also be considered. After all, it is to protect the emperor. The last barrier, but often when things come, it will appear very useless and pale.
Therefore, generally speaking, when a capital city faces an enemy attack, it will often gather troops and horses in advance or call on troops from all over the country to defend it. The defenders are by no means just standing on the city wall in the traditional sense. Defense is enough. In many places, enough soldiers are needed to fill in the frontal fighting, otherwise these loopholes cannot be filled at all.
If the Imperial Guards of the Qian Kingdom were still on the capital, even if not all of them, there were only [-] regular troops, holding the first wave, and then mobilizing the people, the city would be able to withstand it. At least, the so-called siege would be really effective. It has to evolve into a siege mode.
However, although there are actually a lot of Forbidden Forces left behind, the real backbone and elites have accompanied the officials to the battlefield in the north. In short, the entire system of the Forbidden Forces in Shangjing City has actually been dismantled. Everything is in disarray.
In this capital, there is no one person or group of people who can control the "actual operation" of this capital.
Simultaneously,
We also have to take into account some arrangements made by the official family before the expedition.
For example, who to take with you on an expedition, who to be demoted before the expedition, who to release, or who to simply be sent to prison;
If something goes wrong in the front of the battle and he is defeated, how can he ensure that the rear will be safe and sound, waiting for him to come back without any trouble?
It is impossible for him to fight in the front, and the prince or someone behind him will make a coup and directly enshrine himself as the "overlord". That would be great fun.
After all, not everyone can lead his own troops on an expedition like Prince Pingxi. His hometown simply left everything to the blind man. This kind of trust cannot be understood or learned by others.
And even if the official himself can really achieve such "courage", other forces in the court will not allow others to use the name of the prince to supervise the country to cause trouble after the official leaves Beijing.
This is the artificially created state of "weakness" and "loose sand".
A capital city, after being separated from the main force, deliberately disrupted the system, suddenly faced a group of ferocious Yan troops, and chaos suddenly broke out.
The beacon is lit,
The bells are ringing,
It’s not that there are no officials and generals who are loyal to this country, taking the initiative to rush to the front line of the city wall at this time, it’s not that there are no heroes in the world, who are going against the crowd of people who are fleeing in a hurry to help kill the enemy;
There are all these and so on. The huge Shangjing City, with such a large population, will naturally have no shortage of songs and tears in these critical moments;
But the problem is that under the general trend, personal efforts still cannot change the situation at this time.
The gates of Zhengyang Gate were closed early, but unfortunately, the two side gates of Zhengyang Gate failed to close successfully, and besides the two side gates, there was a roundabout way into the city.
People living here are like a group of ants constantly scurrying up and down. The capital can even be compared to an ant nest extending in all directions.
The guard of Zhengyang Gate personally led a group of forbidden troops to fight with the Yan army, trying to temporarily hold this area down and wait for the reinforcements from the capital to arrive. Unfortunately, he failed.
He led a group of his personal guards and died here in battle, but the more soldiers under him did not have the determination to accept death as a guard and quickly dispersed back.
In less than half a day, at most, in more than an hour, the Yan people opened the Zhengyangmen's defense line and rushed in.
After learning the news, Yan Jun, who was still looking for an entry point in other directions, decisively stopped entangled with the dry troops in front of him. After leaving the battlefield, he walked directly in through the ready-made gap.
The main force of the Forbidden Army stationed outside the capital was dispatched to follow the officials north. Therefore, the capital city directly faced the first wave of Yan army's offensive.
In Shangjing City, the officials who have the ability to organize defense are not in high enough positions and are not qualified to dispatch. Those who are qualified to dispatch do not know how to do it.
This is not irony, but a cold reality. The overly complicated official system makes it impossible for Ganren to command the overall situation in a short time at this critical moment.
In comparison, in the same situation, the Yan people, who have always been considered "rude" by the Gan people, are more adaptable.
No matter which city of the Yan people, even in the capital, you can clearly distinguish the highest batch of officials into three, six or nine, or it can be called the big brother who is similar to the "mountain king" Second brother and third brother, on this point, the experience of Prince Pingxi actually has the most say.
In critical moments, the eldest brother comes forward. If the eldest brother is gone, the second brother takes over.
A simple and rough system is, at a certain time, more efficient than the so-called delicate and rich one.
Therefore,
The Yan people really poured in continuously along the Zhengyang Gate, but the Gan people and the defenders from other places did not even think about mobilizing here to make up for this terrible loophole.
With the influx of more and more Yan troops, and when the Yan troops entering the city began to radiate out to the surrounding areas, it can be said that the entire city defense of the capital was rapidly losing its meaning of existence.
And then,
There was even more chaos in the Imperial Palace of Qian Kingdom.
At first, the prince of the prison country was led by his father-in-law to run towards the harem, because they heard that the Yan people came from the west, so the southeast corner should be relatively safe.
However, the two husbands who stayed behind immediately brought their people to the palace and asked the prince to issue an edict immediately to organize the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight back and expel the Yan people.
The men on both sides once struggled with each other. At this critical moment, the so-called rules, etiquette and restraint, which are usually valued more than life, seemed to be worthless all of a sudden.
Outside the palace, the Seventh Prince, who had already opened his palace and built his own teeth, had gone to the southeast several times to deliver edicts and had a close relationship with his ancestral family. After hearing the commotion outside, he immediately put on his armor and led his troops. The palace guards want to leave the palace to clean up the situation.
However, before the official expedition, he was punished for "not being good at his studies" and was punished to shut up and think about his mistakes.
In the eyes of the officials, this prince, who once had some military power, was one of the unsettling factors in the capital when he was on his own campaign;
The prince's family, in order to ensure absolute stability, further deepened the confinement of the prince.
Originally, the officials might just want to put up a seal, but the people below and others took advantage of the situation and put a seal on it.
The Seventh Prince originally wanted to come out to clean up the situation, but after being rejected by the silver-armored guards guarding his palace, the two parties actually started a fight outside the palace.
On the other side, Yan people are coming in continuously.
Such absurd scenes are constantly being staged everywhere in Shangjing City.
There really isn't much to write home about, because under such a situation, the appearance of this glorious capital city can only be said to be more chaotic and unbearable than the previous Lanyang City and Chuzhou City. .
The horse hooves of the Yan people began to trample on the official roads in Shangjing City. Different from the hesitation of the Qian people in their own capital, the Yan army responded quickly after entering the city twice. The experience in a short period of time was used in This time.
Which gate should be attacked, which point should be captured, and which area should be cleared? The Yan army actually had no prior plan, but naturally, under the leadership of their respective generals, they went where they should go. There would definitely be overlap. There will be omissions, but this kind of efficiency is really jaw-droppingly efficient compared to Gan Ren at this time.
"Palace, palace!"
Fan Li, who was holding an axe, shouted to Yan Jun who was following him.
Entering the capital city and the imperial palace must be the top priority!
At this point, Chen Yang did not fight with Fan Li. Instead, he took the overall situation into consideration and began to lead troops to defeat the Ganjun who showed signs of organization in the city.
“Palace!!!!”
"Enter the palace and capture the queen!"
"Enter the palace and capture the queen!"
The blood-swelling slogans sounded again, and the soldiers of Yan Army felt that the blood in their bodies was burning. They were fearless and did not believe that there would be anyone in front of them who could stop them.
On the way to the palace, soldiers from time to time came out to block the attack, and there were also many soldiers wearing silver armor and guard robes, and there were also experts among them.
However, under the orderly charge of the Yan army, the Ganren's resistance basically did not last long.
even,
Because Fan Li rushed too fast with his soldiers and horses, the palace gate of the palace was not even able to be closed successfully in time.
Some people wanted to come out and were ordered to check the situation outside, while others received a message from an unknown person or noble in the palace, asking to come in for protection. Everyone was stuck there. When the Yan people came to kill them, they "exploded" directly. opened.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Yan army entered the palace.
"boom!"
Fan Li, like a wild bull, knocked away the guys dressed as Ganjun Jinwu Guards in front of him, and rolled several times on the ground. He really didn't expect those Jinwu Guards to be so gorgeously dressed. In fact, the kung fu was extremely stretched, causing most of his strength to come into close contact with the blue bricks on the ground.
After a "click",
Fan Li was shocked to find that he had broken his left arm!
"..." Fan Li.
Therefore,
Next,
When more and more Yan soldiers came to report to Fan Li, the scene became like this:
"General Fan, those eunuchs..."
"Chopped!"
"General Fan, those in red robes..."
"Chopped!"
"General Fan, those in purple robes..."
"Chopped!"
"General Fan, those..."
"Cut it, chop it, chop it, except the queen and the concubine, everyone else!"
"General Fan..."
"If you ask me again, I will chop you down!"
In the Shangjing City outside the palace, Chen Yang, who had given up the opportunity to be in the limelight and was focusing on being a scavenger. He had just defeated a group of forbidden soldiers. He stood in a pool of blood with a knife and looked at the surroundings as they continued to come. He grinned, raised his head, faced the sky, and laughed:
"Li Fusheng, you have been bragging for several years, but you only peed under the city wall of Shangjing! This time I straightened my back and came in!"
Wiped the blood on his face,
Chen Yang reached into the inner pocket of his armor and took out a bag of tips.
King Pingxi gave a total of two tips, one to Fan Li and the other to Chen Yang.
The one given to Fan Li was told to open it when he saw Shangjing;
The one I gave myself was to be opened after breaking into Shangjing City.
While gasping for breath, Chen Yang tore open the brochure bag and opened the piece of paper inside...it was blank without words; when he turned it over again, it was still blank.
"Hey, hey hey..."
Chen Yang laughed twice and swallowed hard.
ordered:
"The King of Legend..."
paused,
He shouted again:
"Pass this uncle's military order, and the swords will not be sealed at all levels.
Uncle Ben will turn the capital of these people into a white land! "
