The arrival of the Tiger Wing Army was almost a fatal blow to the city guards. The entire Ximen was completely out of control. When Bayinzhuo's First Ranger Regiment launched a full-scale counterattack on the entire western front, Ximen fell into the forbidden area again. The Guards were under control, so when the Tiger Wings jumped off the transport truck outside the Imperial City, the entire West Gate Guards couldn't help but cheer.
The Tiger Wing Army, which had stayed in the Imperial City for more than half a year, was too familiar to them. In addition to the Jinpeng flag, the Western Xinjiang military flag, a winged flying tiger representing the Tiger Wing Army grinned, as if roaring in the wind. From all sides, it was announced that the infantry reinforcements of the Western Xinjiang Army had really arrived, and the situation in the Imperial Capital was about to enter a new stage.
The huge cheers from the west city gate made Yusuf, who had been restless, feel an inexplicable panic. All fronts seemed to be not going smoothly, although the third legion that had been tied to a chariot with him was also completely into the battle, but the combat effectiveness of the third legion was indeed terrible. They repeatedly launched attacks but were smashed to pieces by the unceremonious counterattacks of the Guards. Except for the flowing corpses and wounded soldiers being carried down, Yusuf hardly looked at them. to the Third Legion to achieve even a modest result worth mentioning.
On the Guards side, the addition of the Wuhu Independent Division and the Yulin Army has greatly boosted the morale of the Guards, and the impact brought by the Western Xinjiang Rangers is not only physical, but also psychological. The city guards became a little panicked. Although inertia still allowed them to continue fighting, the original enthusiasm and impulsiveness had slowly faded away, and instead, restlessness gradually emerged. The war has lasted for a whole day and two nights, and still no substantial breakthrough has been achieved, but the enemy's reinforcements are getting more and more, and everyone knows that the longer the war drags on, the more and more powerful the enemy's reinforcements will be. The flame of hope seems to be slowly dimming as time goes by.
But at this point, Yusuf has no choice. Now even if he wants to withdraw his troops and escape, he has no chance. The two warring parties are completely stuck together. No one can retreat. They can only rush up and die. Fang rest. At this time, the battle has become a pure mutual consumption, and both sides seem to have been drained of too much energy and spirit by this battle.
At this time, the Tiger Wing Army's forced intrusion was undoubtedly a sudden push in the stalemate situation between the two sides. The situation in the battle immediately took an explosive turn. Song Tianxiong was almost the first to lead the first regiment of the Tiger Wing Army into the battle. The soldiers on both sides, who had been locked in a dull war for too long, did not realize the huge impact of this new blood.
Song Tianxiong went straight into the battlefield without even having time to contact the Imperial Guards. At this time, any more delay would undoubtedly be a waste. Song Tianxiong had never been willing to waste time on such procedures. He believed that These people in the Imperial Guard should understand what they are doing at this time.
The addition of the Tiger Wing Army almost immediately set off a counterattack on the West Gate Front. Song Tianxiong took the lead and personally launched a fierce attack on the city guards who were exhausted from dozens of hours of continuous tossing. Several assault groups almost instantly smashed the city guard front line, which was still in a stalemate with the imperial guards, to pieces. It was like a violent surge was rolling up on the entire front line, and the city guards were swept away with unstoppable momentum. The army's offensive was in vain, and they didn't even have a chance to switch to a defensive posture.
Song Tianxiong knew that this was the time when he had the best chance. Only by taking advantage of the chaos when the city guards were stunned by his fierce attack could he achieve the best breakthrough effect. He almost ordered all the assault groups to rush forward desperately, and then Follow-up troops will follow up to expand the results. Like several surging drills, they plunged deeper and deeper into the city guard's line crazily, causing violent churning, tearing the entire city guard's western front to pieces, and even caused The collapse of the entire front.
The exhausted performance of the City Guards was immediately revealed at this moment. Being swept away by the fierce attacks of the Tiger Wing Army, the entire Western Front collapsed piece by piece with almost no obstacles. Although the City Guards were originally unable to form an organized offensive The army still launched an offensive with courage and fanaticism, but was immediately and completely defeated in front of this new wave of troops. The torrent of defeat was even faster than their offensive, one after another, like an infection. In just one hour, the reversal on the Western Front was irreversible.
When Yusuf stood dumbly among the surging defeated troops and looked at everything in front of him, he had no other thoughts. He knew that if he made a mistake with his bet, there would be no room for regret. In fact, he never listened to the nobles in the imperial capital. His instigation to launch an attack on Longquan has already decided his fate, but he has always refused to accept his fate. He also wants to take this opportunity to try again, but God seems unwilling to give him this opportunity again. It depends on people to plan things and to achieve success. God, he had no other complaints.
The defeat on the Western Front soon caused a chain reaction on the Eastern Front. The defeated troops of the City Guards and the Third Army were almost mixed together like a torrent rolling northward in the direction they entered the city. Tens of thousands of troops They squeezed together and fought for the gate to leave the city, like a group of livestock being driven by hunters, running forward desperately.
No matter how big the imperial city gate is, it cannot accommodate tens of thousands of troops suddenly rushing out of the city. Such a result can only lead to an ending more miserable than a war. Tens of thousands of people crowded under the north gate of the imperial capital and trampled on each other, fighting for the way out of the city. Even fighting hand-to-hand to seize a better position, countless soldiers did not lose their lives in fighting with their opponents, but fell to the swords, guns and feet of their comrades. The statistics afterwards were even more horrifying. More than 6,000 soldiers were trampled to death by the North City Gate alone. Such a tragedy was almost unprecedented in history. Even many years later, the soldiers living by the North City Gate Residents even vaguely heard the screams that happened one after another that night.
The war has reached this point and there is no longer any suspense. When the tiger-winged army bravely welcomes the sunrise, Ma Yuanwang takes the initiative to formally hand over the power of city defense at the four gates of the Imperial City to Song Tianxiong, and expresses his resignation from the ban. The intention of the commander-in-chief of the Guards was only to temporarily assume the power of commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards at Song Tianxiong's strong request.
And Bayin Zhuo's First Ranger Regiment was finally relieved after tens of thousands of defeated soldiers escaped from the imperial capital. The wilderness is the best place for rangers to hunt. Three thousand rangers team divided into groups to attack. The defeated soldiers were immediately given a taste of the power of the Western Xinjiang Rangers. However, these defeated soldiers were too ignorant of current affairs and almost gave up their weapons and surrendered without giving Bayinzhuo much chance to taste the taste of the slaughter. This made Bayinzhuo regretful.
When Yusuf's body was carried in front of Song Tianxiong, except for a touch of regret, Song Tianxiong found that he really couldn't find any hatred towards this guy. After all, he was once the highest boss of himself and His Highness King Qin. The Western Xinjiang Army is now Countless generals who command the army are all from the city guard, that is, under his command? It's really sad that fate plays tricks on people. The former top boss is now dead at his own feet. Isn't this an irony
It seemed that he had already anticipated his fate. As the commander-in-chief of the city guard, he maintained his self-esteem and demeanor even before his death. Yusuf did not give anyone a chance. He took a dose of intestinal poison and let him pass away silently. This way The ending is both unexpected and reasonable.
The bloody two nights finally ushered in a sunny day with bright sunshine. Although the hustle and bustle and shouts of killing had passed away, few people in the imperial capital still dared to open their homes after being frightened by the atmosphere filled with thick murderous intent. Looking at all this, the spread of the war has caused a considerable number of buildings in the North and West Districts to be burned down. The refugees wandering on the streets stared blankly at their homes that have been reduced to ashes. They have lost their thinking ability and do not know how to survive such a severe winter. , what will be waiting for them
Although he had taken over the defense of the imperial capital, Song Tianxiong still had no confidence in his heart. The imperial city was still guarded by the Yulin Army. Situ Mingzhao had already come to discuss with Song Tianxiong. Without any instructions from the Qin Palace in Hanzhong, Before, Song Tianxiong also didn't know what kind of responsibilities he should perform. But one thing he knew was that it was very important to stabilize the situation in the imperial capital as soon as possible and prevent looting after the war.
The functions of the Imperial Police Department were not abolished. Xue Baiying almost immediately began to carry out the orders of Song Tianxiong who gradually entered the role of city defense commander. The Imperial Military Police also began to patrol the streets after completing their special tasks. The Tiger Wing Army, with the cooperation of the First Ranger Regiment, not only temporarily detained tens of thousands of prisoners of war on the outskirts of the Imperial City, but also assumed the defense of the four gates.
The Imperial Guards, who were still emotionally unstable, stayed in their barracks under the constraints of Ma Yuanwen, waiting for the moment to decide their fate. For two days and two nights, they had witnessed that an old dynasty had collapsed and been replaced. will be a brand new empire, but what will be their fate
The livelihood of the refugees needs to be solved immediately, and tens of thousands of corpses need to be dealt with immediately. These are all matters that the civil affairs department needs to deal with immediately. The Imperial City Left-behind Mansion, an institution that originally shouldered ordinary administrative responsibilities, can barely operate under the help of Song Tianxiong, and it is hazy and bloody. It seems that everything is gradually dispersing, but what should we do with everything in the imperial city? Song Tianxiong could only wait, waiting for the arrival of an order or person who could finally make a decision.
