The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 753
Two days passed in a flash, and the announcement issued before had an effect soon.Tens of thousands of bandit soldiers have been stuffed into the barracks.On this day, whistleblowers came to report one after another. The Tianhua army led soldiers and horses to search everywhere. Those who were arrested were immediately executed on the spot, and those who hid were also punished and demoted to hard labor.

Lin Yifan did not let the more than 1 bandit soldiers who were imprisoned in total be idle, repairing the city walls, digging ditches, and even serving as cannon fodder when necessary.

A few days later, news came from Niu Dali that an army of [-] troops had captured the territories of two princes, seized a large amount of supplies, money and food, and was sending them to the imperial capital.

And Lin Yifan conveyed the imperial order to the princes and queens by surrendering his ministers.The attitude of the princes who were already preparing to unite suddenly became subtle, and the speed of gathering troops and horses also slowed down.

Seeing this, Emperor Dongyang couldn't help being anxious, but at this time he only had thousands of soldiers left, which was nothing among the princes.If it weren't for the critical situation now, I'm afraid it would have been swallowed alive by the princes long ago.

He also saw Emperor Tianhua's imperial order.I was terrified in my heart, and I felt suspicious when I saw anyone, and I was afraid that the other party would arrest me and make contributions.

Fortunately, among the princes, there are still some wise people who know that now is not the time for internal strife, and they must unite as one, so that the Tianhua army will have some scruples.Therefore, under the coercion and lure of Shiyan, Zonggu, and Shuisheng, the three great princes, all the princes gathered under the banner of Dongyang Emperor one after another, gathered 20 soldiers and horses, and attacked the imperial capital.

More than ten days later, the military information from the north finally arrived at the imperial capital. Lin Yifan finally showed a smile on his face. After waiting for many days, he finally received the news of the coalition forces of the princes.He never thought that one of his imperial orders could really make the princes kill each other.To make this imperial order effective, unless this support soldier is completely defeated.After losing the strength to fight against the Tianhua Army, the princes had no choice but to kill each other in order to survive.

Therefore, Lin Yifan ordered Niu Dali to return to the imperial capital quickly.And the defense of the imperial capital has also been perfected and improved in the past ten days.He is confident that with the defense of the imperial capital, it is enough to resist the attacks of the princes.

Time flies, and ten days later, a dark crowd appeared on the northern horizon of the imperial capital, slowly rushing towards the imperial capital.

Lin Yifan led the generals, who had already stood on the north wall, watching the enemy's movements with binoculars.

"Huh, it's really a mob." After Niu Dali read it, he couldn't help putting down his binoculars, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty, I see that the opponent's formation is disordered and their advances and retreats are scattered. Why don't you lead an army and rush to kill them? its crushing."

Lin Yifan gave him a sideways glance, "I managed to lure them here. If you defeat me, wouldn't my arrangements these days be in vain? In this battle, we want to wipe out the opponent's entire army, not just repel them .”

Soon, 20 Dongyang reinforcements arrived at the foot of the imperial capital, surrounded by three and missing one.At this time, they were not in a hurry to attack the city, and began to build siege equipment with all their strength.

A few days later, the Dongyang army, which built a large number of siege equipment, knew that Tianhua's weapons were sharp and it would be extremely difficult to attack the city. They could only use human sea tactics to exhaust the opponent's weapons.

Therefore, most of the main forces in this siege are young and strong recruited temporarily.After the order was issued, tens of thousands of troops immediately swarmed up and charged towards the imperial capital.

At this time, the sound of the cannon rang, and countless bloody paths were drawn among the crowd.The young men, who had never seen such a terrifying scene, suddenly collapsed and receded like a tide before they reached the city wall.

The vassals seemed to have expected this kind of scene, and after gathering the defeated soldiers, they continued to charge towards the city wall.

For several days in succession, countless charges made the young and strong who were forced to attack the city start to feel numb.Amidst the roar of artillery fire, they still rushed forward desperately, and soon reached within the range of the crossbow arrows, and began to fill the trench.

Wave after wave of arrows rained continuously on the battlefield, and the Dongyang Army suffered heavy casualties, separated by many trenches, unable to pose any threat to the city wall.

Nearly half of the more than [-] young and strong people have been killed or injured in the past few days.However, several trenches were also filled with human life, and became a smooth road.At this time, the firing intervals of the artillery on the imperial capital became longer and longer, and finally stopped the shelling altogether, and switched to using bows and crossbows to deal with it.

Seeing this, the princes couldn't help but be overjoyed. After these few days of consumption, the opponent's attack has become weaker and weaker.So after discussing, they decided to send elite troops to try to attack the city.

To this, Emperor Dongyang expressed his objection, he felt that the other party could not run out of armaments so quickly, not to mention that the flamethrower had not yet appeared that day, so everything should be cautious.

But the princes didn't pay much attention to this weak emperor.After deliberation, tens of thousands of elites were finally dispatched to attack the city.

Sure enough, after rushing into the range of one mile, the artillery on the city only fired a few times, and then completely misfired.When the army rushed into the range of the arrows, the rain of arrows that fell was sparse and had no deterrent effect.Soon, the army carried the ladder, and quickly climbed up the city wall, and countless Dongyang troops struggled to climb up.

But the Tianyun army is not a vegetarian either, all kinds of city defense weapons launched a counterattack, and the Dongyang army on the ladder fell like dumplings.The rain of arrows from both sides shot back and forth, each causing casualties.

Seeing this, the princes couldn't help being anxious, seeing that this was about to climb the city wall, but due to insufficient troops, the short-term advantage was about to be lost.

Therefore, the princes immediately ordered the whole army to launch a general attack, hoping to seize the city wall with their superior force.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses swarmed up and gathered under the city, like waves hitting a rock, one wave after another, the pressure of the Tianhua Army suddenly increased.

Lin Yifan stood on the viewing platform, suddenly put down the binoculars, and shouted excitedly: "Send the order and start a full-scale counterattack."

Not long after, the artillery, which had already misfired, suddenly exploded again, and the shells plowed out lines of blood among the dense crowd.On the top of the city, countless grenades fell into the crowd, exploded, and instantly emptied the area.Cans of kerosene were poured into the city, and after a while, the flames spread, engulfing countless enemy troops below the city.Sharp weapons such as mortars, bursting crossbows, and bursting crossbows poured down one after another, and the Dongyang army that had not had time to collapse suddenly fell down.

Finally, the princes came to their senses after being stunned for a while. When they saw their countless soldiers and horses being bombed into slag, they couldn't help being anxious, and the sound of Mingjin kept ringing in the camp.At this time, the soldiers and horses under the city finally came to their senses and fled back desperately.

At the same time, the three gates of the imperial capital were wide open, and countless soldiers and horses rushed out, chasing and killing the rout soldiers.

Lost, completely lost.The princes' hands and feet were cold, and they never expected this result, and this result came so quickly.
