This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 174 Breaking the City, One Step Late

Chapter 174 Breaking the city, one step too late

Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Report! Prime Minister, something is wrong! The Great Xia army has attacked!"

Ke Xin frowned slightly, scolding in displeasure.

"Why panic? When you come, you will come, and you will stick to it with all your strength..."

Having said this, Ke Xin suddenly became agitated, and his eyes widened.

"What did you just say? Attacked in?!"

The young general who came to report hurriedly nodded, and tremblingly said with a sad face: "Yes! The army of Daxia is staying in the belly of huge giant birds. Those giant birds are like ancient wild beasts, with extremely powerful attack and defense power!"

"Now, all the gates of the four sides of the city have been lost, and the garrison suffered heavy casualties, and they have fled across the board!"

Hearing this, whether it was Ke Xin or all of Ke Xin's confidantes, they were all shocked and terrified!
How long had it been since they received news of an unknown enemy?It seems that there is not even time for a stick of incense!

But in such a short period of time, the Great Xia army has already captured the Sifang City Gate. Are they dreaming?

"Absurd! Absurd!"

"It's fake, it's absolutely fake! This person must be a secret agent of Daxia, who came here to disturb the morale of the army and create chaos! Kill him!"

"Yes! Take him down and torture him!"

Hearing the yelling and shouting of the big figures, the young general who reported the news was full of bewilderment and frightened.

I ran to report the letter dutifully, but was given the name of an enemy country spy, what's going on?

At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from far away, and the sound was still approaching.

Everyone in the hall was startled, and then all stared at Ke Xin.

Ke Xin's face was livid, he gritted his teeth and strode out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.

Standing on the high platform outside the hall, everyone could vaguely see some flames and a dark red halo swaying in the distance, like a wick in the dark, faint but conspicuous!
"This, what's the situation? Could it be that the Great Xia army really broke in?"

"No! Impossible! It would be fine to say that the garrison army collectively turned against the water, but the garrison army is obviously resisting. No matter how terrifying the army is, it is absolutely impossible to break through the four city gates at the same time in such a short period of time!"

"That's right, it must be Da Xia's secret work and the traitors in the city are doing the sabotage! But thanks to the wise prime minister, [-] forbidden troops have been mobilized to scatter around the city. I believe the rebellion will be suppressed soon!"

The unknown and horrifying disaster is just around the corner, but no one wants to believe it. They keep looking for reasons, trying to convince and numb themselves so that they can feel at ease.

However, facts are facts after all, and it cannot be changed by deception.

When the palace gate of the palace city and a small section of the palace wall collapsed with a loud bang, when two huge Jinpeng battleships appeared in sight, when cavalrymen with dazzling golden armor and bright red capes jumped from the bottom hatch of the battleship When he came out, all the people present were pale and had cold hands and feet.

"It turned out to be true..."

"What is that strange bird? What are those huge iron chopsticks? How could it be so terrifying?"

"What's going on with all this?"

The seven or eight ministers here were muttering to themselves in fear, and the battle in the distance had already begun.

Yunbo Palace only kept [-] forbidden troops in total, Ke Xin transferred [-], and now there are only [-] forbidden troops left in the palace.

During the fierce bombardment just now, nearly a thousand forbidden soldiers died tragically along with the collapsed palace gate and palace wall. Although the remaining forbidden soldiers were terrified, they still bit the bullet and charged forward.

However, they don't know how big the gap is between themselves and the other party. They are the golden iron cavalry under Meng Tian's command. The weakest members of the whole army are all three-level innate cultivation bases. How can they compare?
"Golden Knight, charge forward!"

With a stern shout, thousands of golden cavalry responded with a deafening shout, and then pointed the spear in their hands obliquely forward, without any intention of using bows, arrows, spears and other long-range equipment.

"attack!"

After the military order was issued, a golden wave rushed forward, sending out a series of long or short, thick or thin golden gun lights, piercing through the cyan Yunbo imperial army.

When the two armies passed by, the cyan array was almost invisible, leaving less than a thousand people trembling amidst the corpses and blood all over the ground.

After the golden iron cavalry rushed to kill, only a thousand people were left to clean up the mess, while the rest of the army continued to rush forward, and at the same time split into more than a dozen large or small arrays, and swept away towards the palace.

In front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, seeing the hundreds of golden cavalry rushing towards them, all the eunuchs and court ladies were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

As for Ke Xin and the others, although they were not that miserable, their faces were pale and their lips were trembling slightly.

The accident happened too fast and too violently, and they couldn't even accept it at this time.

"Where is Emperor Yunbo?!"

A warrior with a full courtyard and piercing eyes strode up to the high platform, looked around at a group of people present, and shouted in a cold voice.

This person's name is Nie Xing, and he is one of the two generals of the Golden Cavalry under Meng Tian's command.

Ke Xin was already heartbroken, but when he heard Nie Xing's question, he suddenly became excited and had an idea in his heart.

"Returning to the general, we wanted to persuade Emperor Yun to surrender to Daxia, but Emperor Yun would rather die, so we put him under house arrest. We plan to control the army in the city first. When your army arrives, we are very kind. meet!"

"But I don't want to. Emperor Yun is stubborn, so he directly chose to commit suicide. And before we could control the army in time, your army has already killed..."

Hearing Ke Xin's words, the other ministers who were already in despair were taken aback for a moment, but their eyes lit up afterward.

That's right, Daxia doesn't know what they did.

Moreover, Mu Lianghuai did commit suicide, so he is not afraid to investigate.

As long as they are given a chance, they might have a chance to escape!
Therefore, one after another, people spoke up and echoed.

"Really?"

Nie Xing squinted his eyes, and his suspicious eyes kept scanning the several people.

"Naturally! I'm Ke Xin, Prime Minister of Yunbo, so I won't be talking nonsense, right?"

Ke Xin nodded with a serious face, and at the same time reported his family name to increase his persuasiveness.

However, when Ke Xin finished speaking, an untimely voice suddenly sounded.

"They're lying!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a maid Shi Shiran standing up.

"Ke Xin has already voted for the Qingqiu Dynasty, Mu Lianghuai was forced to death by him, and the army in the city has been controlled by him!"

"Bastard! How dare the little palace maid speak nonsense!"

Ke Xin and the others changed their expressions, and one of them became even more furious, raising his hand to kill the maid.

However, before he could make a move, Nie Xing beheaded him on the spot with a sword in his hand.

"Who are you?"

Nie Xing ignored Ke Xin and the others, staring at the maid and asked.

"The bad guy Tianshu Xiaowei's deputy captain, Ming Lan."

The court lady smiled, and at the same time raised her hand to make a strange seal, which is a way of proving the identity of a bad person.

Nie Xing nodded, then stared at Ke Xin with a cold light in his eyes.

"Murdering your own emperor, and now you dare to deceive this general, you really want to die!"

"Come on, capture them all! If there is any resistance, kill them on the spot!"

"promise!"

……

At dawn, a cavalry force of more than [-] broke through the wheat fields and rushed to the south bank of the Songjiang River by the fastest route.

Seeing the mighty and surging river with a width of more than 100 feet in the distance ahead, the eyes of the few generals at the front lit up, and their faces showed a relaxed look.

"finally reached."

"Yeah, this journey is really fast."

"According to our speed, we will definitely arrive at least an hour earlier than the Great Xia army!"

"Don't be careless, it's better to cross the river as soon as possible, and then we can talk about it after we grab the ferry."

However, when they arrived at the riverside, their expressions froze.

Because on the other side, countless cavalry had formed a long line along the river bank, from west to east, with no end in sight!
Looking at the Great Xia Dragon Banner fluttering in the wind, the other party's identity is self-evident!

Also at this time, two "fisherman" came galloping not far away.

"General Song! You are one step too late..."

The leading general named Song Chao turned pale and stared at the two fishermen through gritted teeth.

"What's going on here? How could the Great Xia army arrive so quickly?"

"I don't know. It should be that the opponent's mount is very good."

A fisherman shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "General Song, Daxia has sent [-] cavalry as the vanguard. They have dispersed their forces and completed the occupation of most of the north bank of the Songjiang River!"

"As for the remaining places, the deployment can be completed within half an hour. Even if we want to cross the river from other places, it will be too late!"

After hearing the report from Qingyiwei's spies, the faces of several Qingqiu generals became extremely ugly.

I thought they were fast enough, but who would have thought that they were still a step too late!
"General, what should I do?"

After one person asked the question, the others also saw Song Chao.

Song Chao squinted his eyes and his expression changed. After a long while of contemplation, his eyes suddenly moved.

"How many troops does Daxia currently have in this area?"

"General Hui Song, this is one of the two places most suitable for troops to cross the river on a large scale, so Daxia deployed a total of about [-] cavalry in this section."

"Twenty thousand?"

Song Chao's eyes brightened slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"My Qingqiu dynasty fought life and death on the front line, and paid such a heavy price, how can Daxia pick the peaches without any effort?"

"Pass me the general order! The whole army, prepare to cross the river!"

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the other generals could not help but change.

"No, general! Your Majesty has clearly decreed that we are not allowed to meet Daxia in arms. If we forcefully cross the river, wouldn't we be going to war?"

"Your Majesty forbids us to take the initiative to attack Daxia, but he didn't say that we can't defend ourselves?"

Song Chao chuckled, looking playful.

"As long as Daxia dares to attack us, then we have a reason to fight back!"

"And if they don't do anything, then with so many of us, are we afraid that we won't be able to cross the river? At that time, we only need to use 4 to [-] horses to restrain them and confront them, and the rest of the army can finish crossing the river by themselves, all the way north!"

After hearing Song Chao's meaning, several generals couldn't help but their eyes brightened.
