Devil’s Advent

Over the past hundred years, I don’t know how many literati and poets have praised this city. Even literati from other countries like to compare Shangjing to the paradise in their hearts when composing poems and lyrics;

This is a label, a seal imprinted on the era and culture;

To be more lyrical, it is no exaggeration to say that even in the simple history books, it cannot hide its light.

But right now, this magnificent city is suffering the baptism of war disaster.

It is so beautiful, yet so fragile;

As charming as it is, it can inspire people's desire to destroy beautiful things.

The dispute between Yan and Gan can be traced back to a hundred years ago. In recent years, old hatred and new hatred have increased a lot.

In the past, Yan people ridiculed Gan people for their cowardice, and Gan people ridiculed Yan people for their vulgarity.

From the perspective of Gan people, the territory north of the three sides is the territory of the barbarians, and the so-called Yan people are the Yan barbarians.

Generations of people have actually grown up in regional discrimination;

The so-called Zhu Xia, the so-called people of the same root and clan, have very few people who really understand this truth, not to mention, among the very few people, there are still many, who clearly understand but pretend not to understand.

A hundred years ago, the Gan people took advantage of the decisive battle between the Yan people and the barbarians to carry out the Northern Expedition to backstab. A few years ago, in the land of Jin, the Chu people and the savages joined forces to treat the Jin people as two-legged sheep;

The former Emperor Yan, he had the heart to swallow all Xia, so he would naturally exercise restraint in certain aspects;

But this does not include the Prince Pingxi surnamed Zheng,

It also does not include the generals of the Yan army who are currently attacking Shangjing.

As far as Zheng Fan is concerned, he has chosen to die and survive, while for the generals of the Yan Army, when their mental and physical exhaustion reaches a certain level, the next swing of the knife has become a certain instinct.

but,

Fortunately in misfortune,

Even if Chen Yang issued the military order of not sealing the sword in the name of Yi Shanbo and the general of this army,

But now that the army is scattered into Shangjing, the organization will inevitably be chaotic, and it is almost impossible for the military order to be fully conveyed;

The second is that the soldiers and horses of the Yan army this time are still too small. Compared with the size of this big city, it is really unrealistic to throw 30,000 soldiers into it and want to eat them all in an instant;

After the Yan army entered the city from Zhengyangmen, it was basically divided into two ranks. One rank, under the leadership of Fan Li, rushed straight to the imperial city, shouting the slogan Catch the queen;

The other sequence, under the leadership of Chen Yang, began to attack the large-scale resistance that was trying to gather in the city;

These two sequences alone almost took up most of the Yan army's strength.

And with the destruction of the outer city of the imperial city, when Fan Li led his army to attack the inner city, which is the area where the emperor and the harem really lived, he finally encountered stubborn resistance.

At the beginning, the Yan army was too smooth. The defense camp outside the capital was almost emptied before, so it was unable to block the incoming enemies from the periphery;

Naturally, the city walls of the upper capital were not cleared and filled in time, and they were directly rushed in by the wolf-like Yan people without any preparations for defending the city;

Even this imperial city, because of the chaos of the situation, was coerced by the Yan army, who did not know which side or faction, and stabbed it in.

But when the Yan people's blade was about to touch the entire Shangjing city, no, the entire Gan country, the most core and most vulnerable area, when the Qian people here realized that they had absolutely no other way out, they burst into dismay Little will to resist.

The silver-armored guards responsible for the security of the inner palace, the palace guards, and the guards brought by other adults, and even the father-in-laws in the harem, all began to rush at the vicious Yan people.

The city wall of the inner city is actually not high, and it is basically just a formal decoration, but relying on this small city wall that is not high, the Qianren inside and the Yan people outside launched a desperate fight.

This forced Fan Li to order to continue calling Yan Jun from outside the palace to join the attack.

On Chen Yang's side, after defeating more than a dozen establishments who did not know which yamen, lord, or big family were trying to organize, they encountered the resistance of guards from every household.

The location where the Yan army entered the city, coupled with the momentum of going straight to the palace, made the scope of activities of the Yan army after entering the city basically confined to a very narrow area, but this area, but it is no coincidence that The residence of a well-known wealthy family in Shangjing;

Because of its large population, Shangjing City has experienced several expansions in history, so it is not simply divided into inner and outer cities like other traditional cities. are ordinary people;

The wealthy area here basically radiates from one side, and the oblique central axis also refers to the imperial palace.

In Yao Zizhan's poem, it was mentioned that tonight, the rain is exquisite, and the three streets are full of books in the future.

Third Street refers to the rich district in Shangjing, and Yao Zizhan never called it inner city.

Therefore,

When Chen Yang's order was issued,

The soldiers of the Yan army who had been restrained by Lanyang City and Chuzhou City began to kill.

A wealthy family with a high family background kicked him away and killed him straight in.

Qiu Ba's brains are simple, but they still understand that only this kind of big family can have a real critique.

After rushing in, the guards of Gaozhai immediately began to protect the master, fighting with the soldiers of the Yan army.

These are actually the hidden armed forces in the upper capital. They do not actually exist in the military register, but they cannot be ignored.

Some courageous people even asked their guards to take out military crossbows.

Although, in front of the regular army, it is difficult for these so-called guards to take advantage of it, and they are basically in decline, but the Yan army has really stabbed a bunch of hornet's nests, and everyone is fighting everywhere.

Straight mother thief, is he so full of people's folk martial arts virtues!

This is probably the feeling in the hearts of many Yan soldiers.

In fact, if the siege of the city is serious, it can give the soldiers and civilians in the city a buffer time. When they realize that the general situation is inevitable, most people will still choose to bend their knees to save their lives;

The most life-saving ones are often the Three Streets, but unfortunately, everyone catches up, bumps into them, and then kills them.

There was still a stalemate on the other side of the palace, shouting for soldiers and horses. Outside the palace, the soldiers were trapped in mansions and fighting with the guards and priests.

This made the strength of the Yan people more and more insufficient.

The Yan people entered the city, and the Zhengyang Gate was also lost, but the Yan people failed to spread out their forces in time. Even now, nearly three-quarters of the upper capital area has not been truly captured by the Yan army. The four main city gates, and three of them are still in the hands of Qianjun.

This is not a command error by Chen Yang, nor is it a matter of Yan's military discipline;

But in the face of this largest city in Zhuxia, the area, scale, population, etc. of the city are beyond the imagination of Yan Jun. You can't even perform drills like this, because you have never seen it before.

Even Yanjing, the capital of Yan Kingdom, is still a little small in front of Shangjing.

Therefore, Yan Jun came to the city completely like a bumpkin from the countryside, and he was suddenly lost.

Therefore, it stands to reason that

As long as someone can raise their arms now, oh no, even if it is not a single person, but three or four, or even seven or eight people, start to collect the rout army everywhere, gather rangers, guards, and guys who have the courage to take out The common people who are involved in the matter, and each other, are in harmony with each other. It is impossible to say that there is still a chance to change the situation in the capital!

This is by no means an exaggeration, because this is the home field and the capital of Qianren after all, and the Yan people, regardless of their fierceness now, are actually at the end of their battles. After a real fierce battle, the outcome is still unknown.

But as soon as Chen Yang personally led a team of soldiers and horses to charge back and forth there, and those who could be organized at the beginning, whether they were officials, heroes, or the so-called upper capital's certain sect, they were all considered as the first ones with responsibility and courage. But this first batch became the first batch of greetings from Chen Yang's department because he reacted too quickly and was too organized.

When they were washed away, many of them were even directly beheaded, the quality of what grew from the back was not as high as that from the front.

Moreover, the Yan people suddenly appeared in Shangjing City as if descended from the sky. The first reaction of the soldiers and civilians in Shangjing City would naturally not be that the Yan people took a big detour and touched a corner of Shangjing City under exhaustion. It is believed that the army of the imperial court in the north was defeated, and the official family conquered by Yujia was also defeated, and the Yan people just entered in such a dignified manner;

They are completely hopeless!

It's not that no one with a discerning eye can analyze it. It is impossible for the more than 200,000 troops of the government to be defeated in such a silent and messy manner that even the wind could not reach here;

However, most people are clueless in this situation.

so,

in line with

The official army has been defeated, the official family has died in battle, and the imperial court has collapsed...

Under the action of this series of consciousness,

Not only could the defeated Forbidden Army no longer be able to be effectively organized, but even the remaining Forbidden Army who hadn't fought against the Yan people, at this time, directly changed from an official army to a robber;

Everyone started to plunder wantonly, thinking that the big job was over, and they hurriedly grabbed something to escape.

In the early years, Yan Guo also encountered the problem of poor combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army, so exchanging the Forbidden Army with the Zhenbei Army is equivalent to changing defenses;

Here, after being furious at the situation where the Forbidden Army in Shangjing was horribly flooded with water, the officials of the Qian State formed a new Forbidden Army with Li Xundao as the main force. Many of the original Forbidden Army generals were dispatched outside. Most are recruited from outside the country.

Li Xundao once said in secret: The people in the upper capital are happy and naughty, and they are not suitable for military training.

And this also led to the incarnation of the forbidden army as a bandit at this time, which really has no psychological pressure;

Anyway, most of them were not from Shangjing, so they quickly burned, killed, looted and returned home with their belongings.

Therefore,

If you look at the overall situation, you can find that the huge city of Shangjing is presenting a strange bipolar pattern.

On the one hand, the Yan army was trapped in the imperial city and the rich and powerful households, and its strength was stretched for a while;

On the one hand, there are the officers and soldiers who are doing their own thing, and the rogue and ruthless rangers, etc., who start to burn, kill and loot their own people crazily.

Whether it is the Imperial City or the Third Street, these places show that they have a large territory, a small population, and strong resistance;

In other areas, with a large population, they basically have no ability to resist these soldiers and bandits. At least at this time, the casualties caused by Qian Guo's own family are much more than those of the Yan army.

Later, when Chen Yang led the army to continue to clean up other cadres in the capital to resist the establishment, those defeated troops who were burning, killing and looting the people saw the appearance of the black-armored Yan army, and instinctively dropped their belongings Started to run away.

No matter which street Chen Yang led his army to, that street actually settled down.

This made Yi Shanbo of the Great Yan feel a little puzzled for a while:

Zhiniang thief, why does it seem that he is the one who went to the capital to maintain law and order?

It was because of this strange situation that the Yan army survived the chaotic period after entering the city, allowing Chen Yang even enough time to redeploy troops.

He immediately asked his personal guards to send an order to the third street, telling the soldiers trapped there to rush to the imperial city for reinforcements.

At this time, the fighting on the Third Street is still going on, and it is impossible to counterattack on a large scale. Most of them are organized by the guards of a certain family or a few families, and surrounded by the Yan army. One building in the yard is fighting for another;

There were also many Yan Jun who were injured or killed by some good guards because of carelessness, and the people in Qipaoze were chasing after that person.

Fortunately, with Chen Yangxin's military order, the Yan army began to be continuously withdrawn from other battlefields to the imperial city.

Even Chen Yang himself began to consciously shrink his soldiers and horses to move closer to the imperial city. As for the chaotic Shangjing city full of blood and fire, let it go first.

The resistance in the imperial city was very fierce, but as more and more Yan troops entered, the battle situation was no longer just a front line, and when it began to infiltrate from other directions, the last resistance of Ganren began to become pale and powerless.

finally,

The Yan people rushed into the harem like a tide.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, but because the distance to the target was getting closer, the morale of the soldiers of the Yan Army gradually showed a strange excitement.

After being captured alive, present it to the prince!

After being captured alive, present it to the prince!

The soldiers of the Yan army chanted this slogan and began to search around.

It is well known that the family members of the Qian State officials are not here. It stands to reason that the next thing to do is to arrest the prince or Zaifu, but the Yan army in the imperial city, from top to bottom, is full of the Queen of Qian State. !

Oh, the Empress Dowager can!

It seems ridiculous, but it is precisely because of this faith and persistence that these soldiers of the Yan Army were able to maintain their vigor after fighting for so long under long-distance raids.

finally,

Outside a palace, Ganren's last resistance erupted.

A big eunuch and a silver-armored guard in red robes led the last group of guards and started a final fight with the Yan people.

At first, the Yan army who had just entered was caught off guard and lost a lot.

But then, the soldiers of the Yan army, who realized that they had encountered a real master, began to gather crossbow arrows and shields to suppress them.

For these elites, they have their own set of experiences on how to deal with the strong ones that appear on the battlefield.

The most fortunate thing is that the official conquest took away most of the expert escorts, such as the Baili brothers and sisters, who were not here at all.

If there were enough masters in the imperial city at the beginning, it would be really not difficult to escape while taking advantage of the chaos and the fact that the Yan people had not yet fully entered the imperial city.

But the problem is that, due to the chaos of Ganren himself and the lack of masters, they failed to seize the opportunity left to them by the Yanren.

The old eunuch died in battle, the governor of the silver armored guard also died in battle, and the rest of them all fell down.

The soldiers of the Yan army held their shields and formed a line, stepping on the corpses and continuing to advance.

boom!

The palace door was kicked open.

Inside, the lights are bright, and there are luminous jewel-like existences shining on it, making it look extremely magnificent.

A group of children and teenagers curled up together, holding their heads.

There is also a group of women who guard the children's periphery. Some of them are court ladies, but there are also some women who look at their attires, they are not simple, and they seem to be concubines.

And directly above, a woman in a gorgeous dress is sitting cross-legged, very dignified;

In front of him stood a sword.

After seeing this woman, all the soldiers of the Yan army breathed a lot harder.

This is...the Queen of Qian Kingdom?

With one arm tied and a big ax in the other, Fan Li pushed away the soldiers in front of him and walked in.

Mother, Empress Empress?

Fan Li looked at the woman carefully. She was a little older, but she was well maintained, and her figure was quite plump.

Mmmmm,

crossed the threshold,

Still the type that the Lord likes.

Among the demon kings, the one with the least ethics and morals is actually not the magic pill, but Fan Li, because his thinking mode is actually very different from that of ordinary people.

Very good, very good, thick legs and thin waist, big buttocks, the Lord likes it, hehehe.

Fan Li wanted to rub his hands, but because one arm was broken, he could only rub his chest with the back of the axe. This appearance almost perfectly matched the image and legend of Yan Barbarian among the people of Qianguo.

Bengong, I would rather die than be humiliated by Yangou!

The empress's eyes showed determination, she drew the sword in front of her, and put the sword on her neck.

without hesitation,

Zi...

The neck was cut,

it hurts

Then the sword also fell, because it was too heavy for her to hold it in her hand.

The empress was a little surprised, wondering why she didn't succeed in committing suicide, obviously that's how the theater troupe in the palace performed suicide?

In fact, it is very difficult for even a grown man to kill himself with a sword, let alone a pampered empress.

Fan Li rushed in immediately, kicked away the sword in front of the empress, and mercilessly slapped the empress on the neck, knocking her out.

Pick it up again, put it on your shoulders,

shouted:

Catch it!

The soldiers of the Yan army gave out loud cheers.

…

So, Xun Dao, you mean that the main force of the Yan people has already retreated early, and their goal is still my capital?

If you go back to the official's house, today our army dispatched to try to launch a tentative offensive against the Yan army. The Yan people just chose to shrink blindly, shrinking to the point where any camp with 50,000 soldiers and horses cannot allow them to continue shrinking.

This has already proved that the main force of the Yan people is no longer here, and, based on the time when my three-way army was encircled, it is long gone.

In Shangjing City, there is a crown prince supervising the country, and tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers staying behind, as well as high-ranking officials from various parties. There are several ministers, and tens of thousands of Yan captives in a mere area. How could it be possible to destroy the capital of my country?

Officials, the remaining imperial guards have not yet been trained, and the elites in the capital are all at His Majesty's side.

Although the upper capital is towering, it is actually not conducive to defending the city.

Not enough troops to fight,

Even if there are tens of thousands of Yan people,

Shangjing,

Still as crisp as paper thin!

The officials lie on the dragon couch,

Mouth slightly open, eyes, a little empty:

So, my Shangjing is gone?
