Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 241: Battle of the City (Part )

Beichen Yin led the army to Chicheng and did not encounter any obstacles along the way. The closer he got to Chicheng, the more uneasy Beichen Yin felt. This meant that Tieqiong Qiuyi had already prepared everything for him.

So, fifty miles away from Akagi, he ordered the army to stop advancing, set up camp on the spot, and make a fire to cook.

"Your Highness, in another fifty miles we will reach Chicheng. It seems that the Miao army ahead did not expect that our army could arrive so quickly, so their front line is weak. If our army attacks together, we will surely be able to break through the defense line and rescue the emperor." Yan Feiqing reported to Bei Chenyin the situation of the exploration ahead.

"No need. I order Yan Feiqing, you and Ye Huer to stay here with the army to guard against the night attack by the Miao army. I will lead the Night Owl troops to break into the imperial city to rescue the emperor, and you will support them when the time comes." In order to prevent the retreat from being cut off and to prevent Tieqiong's plan to seek clothes from succeeding, Beichen Yin left a large army to provide support, and he himself led the elite troops to break into the imperial city to rescue the emperor.

As for Chicheng, it has become a dead end and can only be handed over to the Miao army.

"Yes." Yan Feiqing and Ye Huer accepted the order.

Beichen Yin led the Night Owl troops to sneak along under the cover of night. When they encountered a Miao army checkpoint, they would try to bypass it. If they could not bypass it, they would swiftly wipe out all the Miao troops in the checkpoint before they could send out a signal.

Beichen Yin discovered during his stealth that the small groups of Miao troops, which seemed to be loosely distributed, could support each other, and if he rashly led the army to attack, he would only be delayed.

Moreover, in many places that are easily overlooked, there are huge numbers of Miao troops hiding, ready to gather at any time.

If he had led his army to attack in a hurry, his retreat would have been cut off and his entire army would have been wiped out.

The various arrangements of the Miao army made Beichen Yin more convinced that it took Tieqiong Qiuyi less than two hours to reach the imperial city and enter the imperial city through the secret passage left before the construction of Chicheng.

At this time, the imperial city was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere. In order to prevent the Miao army's spies from sneaking in, the imperial city was heavily guarded. To avoid conflict, Beichen Yin revealed his identity the moment he entered the imperial city.

"King Bingjian, you are finally back. I am so grateful to the national teacher for arranging ten Yuan-destroying formations to guard the imperial city, so that I can wait for you." When Beichen Yuanhuang saw Beichen Yin, he felt relieved.

It turned out that Xindu was under siege. In addition to launching continuous attacks, the Miao army also kept sending experts to sneak into the palace and implement a decapitation policy.

Especially the most recent time, the Miaojiang God of War Zang Jingren took action personally and fought almost all the way to Beichen Yuanhuang's bedroom. Fortunately, the national teacher Pi Gushi led ten Yuan-destroying formations to provide timely support and repelled Zang Jingren, otherwise he would have been killed.

At this point, Beichen Yuanhuang asked anxiously, "I wonder how many troops King Bingjian brought back this time."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, only Night Owl accompanied me into the city, and the rest of the troops are stationed fifty miles outside the city."

"King Shoulder to Shoulder, why is this happening? The Miao army's defense is the loosest right now. This is the time for King Shoulder to Shoulder to defeat the enemy." Beichen Yuanhuang asked.

"Based on my understanding of Tieqi Qiuyi, he would never leave such a fatal flaw. He must have set up many ambushes and waited for me to lead the army. Before I sneaked into the imperial city, when I passed through the Miao army's line, I found that the Miao army was well prepared. If I rashly led troops to rescue, the whole army would be wiped out. So I only brought elite troops to sneak into the city."

"So what does the King of Sides plan to do?"

Beichen Yin suddenly knelt down to Beichen Yuanhuang and said, "I beg Your Majesty to visit the south to protect the foundation of our Beichen Dynasty."

"How can we abandon the foundation laid by our ancestors? Is there no other way except to move the capital?" Beichen Yuanhuang was naturally unwilling to do so. "The military strength of Miaojiang is beyond imagination. I believe that Your Majesty has deeply experienced this time. Now the overall situation has been decided. Chicheng is surrounded by the Miao army. Even if I repel Miaojiang this time, the natural barrier is lost. If the capital is not moved, Chicheng may be surrounded at any time in the future. As the ruler of a country, how can Your Majesty go to dangerous places again?" Beichen Yin explained the reason.

"Also, although we have lost two-thirds of our territory, we have only lost some poor mountains and bad waters. The land in the south bordering the Central Plains has a large population and fertile land. As long as we keep our footing and work hard, with the Emperor's ability, we will surely be able to restore the former glory of our Beimu and conquer the territory that was swallowed up by the Miao Border."

After listening to Beichen Yin's analysis, Beichen Yuanhuang paused for a long time, sighed, and asked Beichen Yin: "Father, do you think I really have the ability to revive Beichen again?"

Knowing that Beichen Yuanhuang was asking this in a personal capacity, and that now was the time to give him confidence and support, Beichen Yin resolutely replied: "I believe that my son can not only revive our Beichen Dynasty, but also make the Beichen Dynasty far surpass the past and reach a height that no previous emperor has ever achieved."

"Okay, I hereby decree that the Beichen Dynasty will officially move its capital, and King Bingjian will escort me out of the city and break out of the siege."

"Your servant Beichen Yin has received the order." After receiving the appointment, Beichen Yin immediately started to work on the relevant matters. The purpose of this breakout was to join the army stationed outside the city. It was necessary not to alert the Miao army outside the city, so everything was kept simple and traveled light. Number of people brought.

As for whether the emperor's disappearance would cause chaos among the defenders in the city and alert Tieqi Qiuyi.

Beichen Yin had already prepared for this and had prepared a substitute for Beichen Yuanhuang. His name was Yingshu and he looked just like Beichen Yuanhuang, even his behavior and habits were imitated so vividly that no one would notice unless they were close to him.

He will take over the guarding of the imperial city to buy time. Three days later, when Beichen Yin and Beichen Yuanhuang lead their army away, he will lead the soldiers defending the city out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Miao army, sacrifice his life for his country, and deplete the strength of the Miao army.

After all the plans were completed, Beichen Yuanhuang exchanged identities with Yingshu, and escaped from the secret passage of the imperial city with Beichen Yin and a group of his cronies under the cover of the Night Owl troops.

After moving forward for a while, Beichen Yin led everyone out of the secret passage, sneaked all the way, bypassed the patrols and checkpoints of the Miao soldiers, and finally approached the army's camp just before dawn.

"King, where is this place?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Although this place is beyond the influence of the Miao army, we are all exhausted after running all night, but we still cannot let our guard down. Your Majesty and the ministers are kind enough to work hard for a while. As long as we reach the military camp, we will be safe."

"Don't worry, King Bingjian. I have also practiced martial arts since I was young, so I can still endure the hardship of traveling." Beichen Yuanhuang also understood that this was not the time to rest, and immediately ordered everyone to continue on their journey and go to meet up with the army.

Everything happened just as Beichen Yin had said. There were no more Miao soldiers along the way and they traveled smoothly. They soon arrived at the military camp and entered with the help of Yan Feiqing and Ye Huer.

Beichen Yin did not forget to order the officers of each camp to light a fire and cook. After the soldiers finished their breakfast, they pretended to be ready to set out to rescue Chicheng in order to confuse the Miao army and prepare for the subsequent retreat of the army. Then he arranged tents for Beichen Yuanhuang and others for everyone who had been running around all night to rest.

Just as the Beichen army followed Beichen Yin's strategy and began to make a fire and cook, and were ready to attack after finishing their meal, a figure appeared on a high peak in the distance, overlooking the situation.

"The cold wind howls in all directions, people wear military uniforms, frost blows in August; blood-stained feet tread on thousands of waves for thousands of miles, murderous intent arises, and hundreds of cities are destroyed." Tieqi Qiuyi, who was supposed to lead the army to attack the city, actually appeared here, and had a full view of the situation in Beichen Yin's army from the top of the mountain.

Thanks to Wu Mengsheng for the reward.
