The screams of killing one after another have been lingering in Beicheng District. Almost all the people in Beicheng District have abandoned their property and fled to other places at the first time. After all, the people of the imperial capital who have been peaceful for too long are facing There was no mental preparation for the war that suddenly happened around them. They never thought that it was not the Western Xinjiang Army but two Imperial Guards who were once the fortress of the Imperial Capital fighting together. The change in the Imperial Capital actually happened in such a way. At the beginning of the weird situation, Kazumi found it difficult to accept.
Beicheng District is not a main residential area, but there are still at least 100,000 people living in that area. The intensity of the war completely frightened many people. They abandoned everything and swarmed into several other areas, and the The guards no longer have so much energy to take care of this. The offensive of the city guards is getting higher and higher. It is obvious that they want to defeat the struggling imperial guards and completely control the entire imperial capital. After many bloody battles, they were defeated again. Under the crazy attack of the City Guards, whose eyes were red with endless **, although they relied on the advantageous terrain, the Imperial Guards obviously couldn't stand it anymore. Fortunately, the Wuhu First Independent Division entered the battlefield in time as a reserve force and stabilized a little bit. As for the battle situation, fierce fighting was carried out from west to east in many places at the same time.
Yusuf knew that the war had reached this point and was not as smooth as he imagined. Ma Yuanxiang, a guy with a brain full of water, desperately wanted to block him. He didn't think about what good it would do to him to block him. Could it be that Xijiang promised him some benefits and told him to block himself outside the city? If this is the case, then there is no way out for his plan, and he can only fight to the death.
The evil spirit in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger. Yusuf knew that he could not blame others for his current situation. It was a stupid act for him to accept the persuasion of Situ Yushuang and a group of imperial nobles to attack Longquan. If he could be rational at that time, If you have a clear analysis of the situation at that time, maybe you will not make that stupid move. If he makes one wrong move, he will lose everything. If he fails to attack Longquan, he will become a lost dog. Not only did the dignitaries in the imperial capital regard him as a barefoot, but the hope of reconciliation with the Western Xinjiang side was also completely shattered. Li Wufeng could no longer accept someone like him who repeatedly broke his promises and made himself rich. In this regard, he no longer had any credibility at all. Then there is only one way for me to go to the end and see if I can grab something worth using to blackmail Xijiang. The idea that surrendering will be forgiven is undoubtedly naive. Only by grabbing valuable things can the opponent Will be afraid. Only then can you get what you want.
"Sir, the resistance of the Imperial Guards is very tenacious. The fighting in every neighborhood is very fierce. We have broken through several times and been blocked several times. It seems that the Imperial Guards are planning to fight us to the death." Another full man said. The sweating officer rushed in and said anxiously.
"Don't you have a better way to break through? There are so many streets in Beicheng District, can the Imperial Guards withstand our attack everywhere? Concentrate your strength. Break through each one!" Yusuf said sharply: "Some Do you still need me to teach you the method? Tell the people below that if you can't break through the defense line of the Imperial Guard, everyone will die. If you want to survive, you can only win the Imperial City and negotiate terms with Li Wufeng!"
I saw my boss furious. The officer suddenly fainted, but when he heard Yusuf's words, there are some methods. The officer seemed to have struck a nerve. "Legion Commander, the Imperial Guards have taken the lead. Their crossbowmen have controlled key passes. Every time we occupy a place, we have to pay a heavy price. If we..."
"What if? Just do whatever you have to do, let go and do it, what time is it now? Don't be too rigid, there is a cliff behind, do we have any choice?!" Hengsheng interrupted the other party's words, Yusuf's eyes Flame jumped and glanced at the other party. His words were vague but his attitude was extremely firm.
With a tremor of his body, he understood the meaning of his boss's words almost immediately. A ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After a military salute, he said in a deep voice: "I understand, I will ask the regiment commander to open the ceremony in the palace tomorrow." Let’s have a celebration party.”
Huo Zazai rushed out the door, bringing only a burst of wind filled with murderous aura.
When almost a series of flaming heads rose into the sky from east to west with endless smoke and dust, Ma Yuanxiang couldn't help but sink in his heart. This guy Yusuf is really crazy! He actually dared to let his men dare to use white phosphorus arrows in the imperial capital! This is a weapon used to start fire, and is often used to set up ambushes or block the enemy. Such crazy behavior is actually used in the densely populated imperial city area where houses are connected. It can be said that this is purely an irrational and barbaric action!
Of course, this crazy move was not without reason. The Imperial Guards controlled the commanding heights of almost every street. The power of the crossbowmen made the City Guards have to risk arrows from all angles every time they took a step forward. Rain, this also greatly weakened the attack intensity of the city guards. They could not concentrate on the attack and had to use part of their energy to guard against attacks by enemy archers. This was very difficult for Liao Hui, who was originally entering the city. It will be even more difficult, and once the fire ban is opened, the advantage and disadvantage will be immediately reversed.
Most of the buildings made of wood were driven by the white phosphorus arrows and turned into the city guard's biggest assistant with little resistance. One after another, the fire spread rapidly along the fire. Although the northwest wind from the north It was not strong, but even a little bit was enough. The wind, fire, and smoke mixed with dust quickly swept over. In this case, the crossbowmen of the Imperial Guard had to give up the commanding heights they controlled and retreated step by step. Or they can only demolish some houses as fire breaks, but this way the threat will be greatly reduced, but the city guard's offensive will become more and more fierce.
Faced with this situation, in addition to secretly cursing Yusuf's madness, Ma Yuanwang could only take passive precautionary measures, demolishing houses and establishing fire breaks, or using water hoses to attack key passes and commanding heights that must be defended. Water was poured into the area and even some flammable buildings were demolished. This not only wasted a lot of energy, but also affected the effectiveness of the key points that had been laid out everywhere.
While Ma Yuanwang was leading all the imperial guards to resist wave after wave of offensives from the city guards, some changes were unknowingly taking place in the southeast and west districts of the imperial capital. Seeing the scene of smoke rising into the sky in the North District, almost everyone couldn't help but shudder. The civil war had truly broken out in the Imperial City. No one could predict how far the situation would go, especially the refugees who escaped from the North District. The scattering into other districts added a bit of panic. Some people who had lost everything were obviously hysterical. Wails, weeping and curses were everywhere. The entire imperial capital was like a restless furnace that was about to erupt.
The sky had just turned dark, and the southeastern and western districts almost remembered the shrill police whistle at the same time. This was the special police whistle of the Imperial Military Police. It would only be blown in extremely dangerous situations. Martial law was soon issued, and almost everyone Everyone knew in a short period of time that some of the city guard's rebels had broken through the guards' defense line and rushed into the central city. The guards were resisting resolutely, and this part of the city guard's rebels was very powerful. They may bypass the imperial city guarded by the Habayashi Army and invade the two southeastern districts. Everyone is required to stay in their rooms and not go out. Otherwise, they will be treated as city guards and rebels.
This news almost made the gentry and nobles of the imperial capital feel frightened. If these angry rebels really rushed to their door, how could their safety be guaranteed? But now the Imperial Guards have completely taken over, and the only ones left are the Imperial Gendarmerie and the Police Department. It’s just that the Police Station is an ordinary security force that cannot compete with the army. Only the Gendarmerie can still have some effect. Now the Gendarmerie has blown the whistle. When the whistle sounded when the situation was most urgent, no one dared to doubt where the rebels broke through. The only idea was to close the door as soon as possible and hide at home to avoid this disaster.
Soon, the shouts of rioters began to boil up on several main roads in the southern part of the East District. Rebels kept knocking on the doors along the road, simply breaking open the doors and rushing into the houses of these usually arrogant ministers and servants. When faced with such an organized army, we could only watch them do whatever they wanted, and screams kept coming from various mansions.
Qiu Pojun stood in the darkness and watched all this with satisfaction. It should be said that these disguised military police cooperated well with the forces deployed in the imperial capital of Xijiang. More than twenty assault teams took sudden action almost at the same time. , from Ning Yuanwang, the former deputy minister of administration of the empire, to Sidon, the current minister of interior affairs of the empire, from Liu Wenqiu, the minister of etiquette of the empire, to the Qin family and the Miao family, one of the five major families in the empire, dozens of gentry and noble families almost encountered enemies from the Third Army one after another. and the city guard's rioters looted, the main roads such as Guihu Avenue, Triumph Avenue, Jinlan Avenue, and Victory Avenue were filled with the wanton and arrogant roars and laughter of the rebels, mixed with the sounds from various mansions. The dying screams and the wails of women.
Qiu Pojun had to admit that Sun Chengxiu was a talent. No wonder Master Diao valued this guy so much. This group of imperial military police were no less effective than the manpower deployed by the security department in the imperial capital in terms of operational efficiency and tactics. The two sides were almost There was a competition to see who could do the job more efficiently and cleanly. The one who was more efficient could finish the job in one mansion and even catch up with the second one. This couldn't help but make Qiu Pojun feel excited.
