Chapter 925 Unstoppable!
At the same time, on the other side, in Qianyuan County, with the fall of Nangong Tianxia, the pillar of the Qianhai, the sky of Qianyuan County seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze. The once sturdy city walls became as fragile as sand castles under the frenzy of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops.
The flags of the Yellow Turban Army stood like a forest, and the yellow-brown torrent swept across every inch of land. Wherever it went, there were blazing fires and beating drums of war, announcing the end of one era and the chaotic beginning of another.
Meng Zhang stood on the top of Qianyuan City, gazing into the distance with his sharp eyes. There was no joy of victory on his face, only deep silence.
Nangong Tianxia's death caused a ripple in his heart, but the cruelty of the battlefield did not allow him to be sentimental. He quickly buried his emotions in his heart and gave orders instead.
"Immediately lead the troops north and attack Qiandu!"
As the order to march north was issued, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops advanced northward with unstoppable momentum like a mad dragon that had been released.
The towns and villages along the way fell one after another before this torrent, and nothing could stop its edge.
Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, shouting slogans, broke through the barriers and defeated the enemies along the way with unstoppable force.
Lu Fa and Si Yan in the rear led the remaining elite troops and retreated all the way. They did not dare to confront the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army head-on, and their hearts were filled with bitterness.
They had imagined various possibilities on the battlefield countless times, but they had never expected that the situation would deteriorate so quickly.
Lufa, the battle-hardened veteran, frowned, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He knew that every step they took backwards now would mean giving up the territory of the Daqian Dynasty, but facing the fierce offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, preserving their strength and waiting for the opportunity seemed to be the only option.
"General Lufa, if we continue like this, when will it end?"
There was fatigue in Si Yan's voice. The continuous fighting during this period had exhausted him both physically and mentally. Looking at the Yellow Turban Army approaching from a distance, he felt powerless.
"Your Majesty, the only thing we can do at this moment is to delay the Yellow Turban Army's advance as much as possible, so as to buy more time for the Imperial Capital to prepare for defense."
"The future of the Daqian Dynasty does not depend on the gains and losses of a city or a pond, but on whether we can preserve the spark and revive our cause."
Lufa sighed, patted Si Yan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice.
When Si Yan heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Although Lu Fa's words were cruel, they were realistic.
The hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops from Luzhou advanced at an astonishing speed. Wherever they passed, they were unstoppable and won battle after battle!
Although some people saw opportunities in this chaotic world, some local forces began to stir, trying to get a piece of the pie in this chaos.
However, facing the iron hoof of the Yellow Turban Army, they soon realized that they were just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and chose to surrender or flee, adding to the already aggressive Yellow Turban Army!
Along the way, the Yellow Turban Army conquered dozens of cities and headed straight for the imperial capital of the Daqian Dynasty - Qiandu!
At the same time, in Qiandu, where Lufa, Si Yan and others had high hopes.
The joint action of the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion and the Qianfu Left Guard, the sudden betrayal and battle outside the Qiantian Gate, was like lightning in a storm, swift and deadly.
With the defeat of Qianlong Zuowei, the city gate gradually fell silent, leaving only the devastation on the ground and the lingering smell of blood in the air.
The soldiers of the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion, the tiger heads on their armor looked even more ferocious under the moonlight. They quickly formed a team and stood side by side with the soldiers of the Qianfu Left Guard, jointly controlling this city gate that symbolized the majesty of the dynasty.
Qiantian Gate, as the main gate of the Great Qian Imperial City of Qiandu, is unique in its complex structure and solid defense.
The city gate was composed of two layers of heavy iron gates, one inside and one outside, with a narrow passage in the middle. There were hidden arrow holes and mechanisms on both sides of the passage. Once an enemy attacked, thousands of arrows would be fired at once, and the mechanisms would be activated to instantly turn the invaders into dust. However, facing the attack from the inside out by the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion, these defensive measures became useless, and this impregnable city gate changed hands in a short time.
"Clear the battlefield quickly, check the gate mechanism, and make sure everything is safe!"
Yin Jingyi's voice echoed in the night sky. Standing on the city gate, his eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning the busy soldiers below.
The soldiers of the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion acted quickly. They not only cleared the battlefield, but also carefully checked every mechanism of the city gate to ensure that the city gate was firmly in their hands.
"Divide the troops into four groups and head to the east, south, west, and north city gates respectively. We must control the situation as quickly as possible!"
With Cui Hao's advice behind the scenes, Yin Jingyi quickly issued new orders.
The Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion under his command immediately split into four groups, like four iron streams, rushing towards the four gates of the imperial city. Each gate experienced a battle similar to that of the Qiantian Gate, but the might of the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion and the support of the Qianfu Left Guard made all this a natural outcome.
Soon, the four city gates were controlled one after another, and the four vital roads of the imperial city all fell into Yin Jingyi's hands.
"Close the city gates and block all entrances and exits!"
Yin Jingyi's voice rang out again, and as the order was given, the iron gates of the four city gates slowly closed, making a dull sound, as if it was the sigh of the entire imperial city.
Once the city gates were closed, the imperial city was cut off from the outside world and became an isolated island, and Yin Jingyi was the ruler of this island.
"Mr. Feng, the pacification of the situation in the city is now left to you. The Left Guard of Qianfu is responsible for pacifying the situation in the city, ensuring that the people are not disturbed and the market is normal."
Yin Jingyi turned and looked at Feng Yuxuan, watching him nod and accept the order. He immediately dispersed with many soldiers from the Qianfu Left Guard, shuttling through the streets and alleys of the imperial city, comforting the panicked people.
Yin Jingyi, with the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion, began to control various military locations in the city. The first stop was the Arsenal, which served as the center of military equipment and supplies for the imperial city. Its importance was self-evident.
The Arsenal, as the most important weapons depot in the imperial city, stores a large number of weapons and armor. Once it falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, as the soldiers of the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion poured in like a tide, they quickly controlled all the entrances and exits of the arsenal and subdued the craftsmen and guards inside one by one.
Yin Jingyi walked into the armory in person, and looking at the rows of sharp weapons and heavy armor, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
These will become powerful weapons for him to overthrow the dynasty and rebuild order!
Next, they headed straight to Tiangong Pavilion, where the dynasty's top craftsmen and technicians gathered to research and develop various new weapons and mechanisms.
Not only are all kinds of sophisticated equipment manufactured here, but also many of the dynasty's secret weapon design drawings are hidden. Controlling the Tiangong Pavilion is equivalent to controlling the lifeline of the dynasty's future wars!
The soldiers of the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion surrounded the Tiangong Pavilion. Yin Jingyi walked in personally and talked with the craftsmen and technicians in the pavilion, promising that as long as they were willing to serve him temporarily, their talents would be given greater display.
Faced with the obvious "principles" in the hands of Yin Jingyi and his men in tiger-head heavy armor, the craftsmen and technicians had doubts in their hearts, but under Yin Jingyi's coercion and inducement, they finally chose to surrender.
With control of the Arsenal and Tiangong Pavilion, Yin Jingyi felt more confident and led the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion directly to the imperial city in the center of Qiandu.
The soldiers of the Tiger-Head Heavy Armored Battalion marched with heavy steps through the wide streets. The heavy tiger-head armor on their bodies flashed coldly in the moonlight, as if they were flowing black dragons, devouring the authority of the imperial city step by step.
