Strong wind blows, bursts of yellow sand cover the sky
Early in the morning, the Western Night City, which was still sleeping, was awakened by the rumble of footsteps and the sound of horseshoes coming from afar, and the soldiers on the city wall shouted: "The Southern Border Army is here! The Southern Border Army is here!"
There was a sudden commotion near the city gate, and the whole capital suddenly woke up as if struck by lightning!
The news of the Southern Xinjiang army approaching the city was passed from word to mouth with the sound of the horns, and it spread throughout the entire Xiye capital in an instant. The people, soldiers, and even the palace all knew that Xiye's old enemy, the official army, was leading the army. We are approaching the capital!
All the capital guards in the city and the 12th Battalion transferred from the Dongshan Daying Camp poured in from the streets and alleys, gathering together like rivers and rivers converging into the sea.
The Xiye guards on the city wall followed the sound and saw at a glance a dozen miles away, a black army marching towards this side stepping on the yellow sand flying all over the sky, with swords and halberds like forests, and The endless dark clouds that day intertwined together, with no end in sight at a glance, exuding an ominous atmosphere.
"rumble"
As the 100,000 troops approached, the sound of heavy and solid horseshoes, footsteps, and armor collisions became louder and louder, rolling down like thunder, murderous, thrilling, and every blow was like a heavy hammer. In the hearts of the people in Xiye, a fact was announced——
I am afraid that Xiye is really facing the ruin of the country and family!
The 100,000 southern border troops stopped at a distance of 50 or 60 feet from the city gate. Right in front of them were two banners, one black and one white, waving in the wind, standing proudly.
A cluster of flames suddenly lit up from the dark army.
It immediately attracted the guards of the Western Night on the city wall. Their eyes fell on a rocket next to the black banner. A man in silver and white armor was sitting astride a tall dark cloud riding on the snow. , the bow opened like a full moon, and the arrow went like a shooting star.
"Whoosh!"
The rocket flew across the sky like a shooting star, piercing through the sky and shining brightly.
In the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the Xiye Banner on the city wall was shot by the rocket, and the flagpole was as fragile as a reed pole and snapped in half. At the same time, bright sparks jumped onto the big red banner, and the banner exploded in the blink of an eye. It burned up and fluttered down from the high city wall, and the flag turned to ashes little by little in the wind and sand
At this moment, it seems that even time has slowed down
Watching this scene, those Xiye guards suddenly felt that the belief that was already shaky in their hearts seemed to have a crack as the flag fell.
"Siege!"
Following Xiao Yi's loud cry, thousands of arrows were fired, and they fell down densely like a torrential rain, and the top of the city wall was covered by a rain of fire, screams and wailing came and went, and a thick death breath gradually permeated
"Boom! Boom!"
The war drums were beating rumblingly, each sound getting louder and louder. For the Southern Border Army, the morale rose accordingly; but for the Xiye people, it was like a death bell!
The drums go on, and this is just the beginning!
The 100,000 Southern Frontier Army didn't seem to know how tired they were, one battalion after another went into battle in turn, even when the sun was setting and the moon was rising, they never stopped.
The sound of arrows, stone throwing, the sound of hitting the city gate, the sound of war drums, and the sound of killing can be heard endlessly.
They declare their determination with their actions!
The second day, the third day, the flames are on
Unknowingly, the vigorous siege battle has lasted for three days, and the walls of the capital city have long been riddled with holes and dilapidated, like a trapped beast that is dying.
The so-called war is to walk out of corpses. After three days of bloody battle, the corpses in the capital have long been piled up like a mountain. It added a bit of despair to the already heavy atmosphere, and even the drums that had not stopped for three days and three nights seemed to become louder.
"Boom"
At some point, there were bursts of thunder in the sky, lightning flashed among the dense clouds, and then suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning struck the city below, as if a divine punishment had been cast down from the sky
In the palace, most of the Xiye King and civil and military courtiers gathered in the court hall. Everyone's face was sinking like water, and their hearts seemed to be crushed by a huge stone, and they were out of their minds.
So far, it doesn't make any sense to say anything.
Sitting on the throne at the top, the West Night King was restless, haggard, and desperate. In just a few days, there were a lot of gray hairs in his black hair, and he looked ten years older all of a sudden.
He is no longer the ambitious King of the Western Night, but a king of subjugation at sunset.
He anxiously clenched the tiger-head armrest on the throne, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, the fear in his heart became more and more intense, and he murmured in his heart: No, no! It shouldn't have been like this. it shouldn't be like this
As if possessed by a demon, these words echoed repeatedly in his ears, and his eyes, which had not slept for several nights, were covered with bloodshot eyes, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken.
He has a strong army in Xiye, a full treasury, and he is united as one. The past two years have been the most prosperous time since the founding of Xiye, so he decided to conquer Dayu in the east. He opened up the territory in the west night, but he didn't expect that he would be forced to the point where the capital could not be protected at any time!
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai's two southern border armies joined forces, and the total number of them was only 100,000, but his Xiye had a full 400,000 troops. Even if the border guards cannot be lightly adjusted, there are still 300,000 soldiers at their disposal. .
However, now Xiye has more than 100,000 troops trapped in the western border of Dayu, and Xiao Yi intercepted and killed 40,000 border reinforcements, so that there are only 60,000 defenders in the city. How can these 60,000 defenders cope with 100,000 troops? The army in southern Xinjiang can only watch helplessly as Guan Yu Bai approaches step by step
How did the war situation develop to this point? !
He Xiye was forced to perish by a mere 100,000 troops from the southern border!
Is this a pure coincidence, or is Guan Yubai keenly aware of the opportunity, and simply took advantage of the situation? !
Xiye King suddenly stood up and walked back and forth anxiously in front of the throne, full of emotions.
If Guan Yubai is taking advantage of the situation, he is simply a dangerous move!
Aren't he and Xiao Yi afraid that one mistake will cause their army of 100,000 troops from the southern border to be defeated by him at Xiye, and the entire army will be wiped out
With more than half of their southern border army taking risks, Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi are not fighting, but gambling? !
And he, Gao Mihao, was obviously far-sighted and thoughtful at every step, so he lost to two crazy desperadoes just like that? !
Thinking about it, Xiye Wang seemed to be frozen, unable to move for a while.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he had made up his mind to give up attacking Dayu West Frontier and call back all his troops the moment he learned that Guan Yubai had led his troops to Xiye, would it be a different kind of attack now? situation
Could this be Guan Yubai's "luck", this is his "fate"
No, he doesn't believe it, he only believes in himself!
There is no "fate" in this world, and there is no "way of heaven", otherwise, how could the official army be destroyed easily, and the Emperor Dayu still took good care of his Dayu country? !
"boom!"
The West Night King punched heavily on the armrest of the throne, his hand was black and blue, but he didn't notice it.
Everyone else in the hall held their breath and dared not speak out. After a long time, they heard Xiye Wang ask: "Lakeda, is there any news from Xie Yifeng?"
Hearing this, Lakda froze and swallowed, before replying with difficulty: "Go back to the king, there is no news."
When Xie Yifeng left, he vowed that he would complete the task, and came back with Guan Yubai's head, but after leaving, he fell into the sea like a mud cow, and there was no more news.
Lakda didn't dare to think about it, and lowered his head a little more.
Xiye Wang's face became even uglier, and he snorted angrily and disdainfully: "Sure enough! As a lieutenant general of the official army, if he can even betray the official army, he is not a trustworthy person!"
Before he finished speaking, there was already a sound of messy footsteps outside the hall, and a soldier wearing a bronze helmet and iron armor with a messy description ran towards this side, shouting hoarsely: "The king is not good! The city gate has been breached!"
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the hall shrank their pupils sharply and paled in shock.
After a while, the soldier stepped into the hall and told him what he had just said.
In an instant, there was a dead silence in the hall, and a death-like silence permeated the air.
Xiye Wang almost lost his strength and sat down on the high-backed chair behind him, Fangzheng's face was completely drained of blood.
Lakda below took a deep breath, raised his head, clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the overall situation, please evacuate the capital as soon as possible, so that the green hills will be left without worrying about firewood. , can make a comeback in the future!"
The Western Night King tensed up all over and did not speak.
He is not reconciled!
Once he leaves the capital, most of Xiye's country will be gone. Can he, the King of Xiye, still be called "King"
The Lost Dog is almost the same!
No, he couldn't just walk away in despair!
There was another moment of silence in the hall.
Soon, another rushing sound came from outside, and another soldier also came in, reporting: "Your Majesty, the outer city gate has been breached, and the army from southern Xinjiang has entered the city!"
"Your Majesty, the southern border army has swept through Zhongdu Street, and our army has suffered countless casualties!"
"Your Majesty, our army has retreated to Xiping Gate."
"Your Majesty, Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi have entered the city!"
""
The military reports came almost every incense stick, and every military report made all the officials tremble with fear. The breath of despair became stronger and stronger, and the air in the hall was almost frozen.
"Kings"
Lakda took half a step forward, and was about to persuade him again, but saw Xiye King Huo Di standing up, raising his hand to stop Lakda from continuing.
"There is no need to persuade Gu anymore." King Xiye looked around at the officials below, his face darkened, but he said in a strong tone, "Gu is the king of Xiye, anyone can escape, but Gu cannot!"
Resolute and resolute on his tired face, he took the scabbard that was put aside, and pulled out the long sword in it with a "clank", and the gleaming blade vibrated slightly in the air, buzzing.
"The grievances between Gu and Guan Yubai over the past ten years should also be settled!"
King Xiye raised his eyes to look outside the palace, and he could see the crimson flames and wisps of gunpowder smoke billowing up from the distant palace gate, reflecting the already overcast sky into a hideous, exuding gloomy atmosphere , that is the smell of death and retreat.
The civil servants and military generals standing below knelt down in unison, bowing their heads and saying: "I am willing to follow the king!"
The voices of the ministers overlapped and echoed in the huge hall, lingering for a long time.
Under the overturned nest, there are eggs!
The sound of fighting outside the palace was getting closer and closer, as if it wanted to penetrate the eardrums of everyone.
Most of the remaining Xiye Army in the city gathered at the Xiping Gate, three streets away from the palace gate, struggling to support themselves on the city wall.
Xiping Gate is the inner city gate, the last solid line of defense in the capital, and must not be breached!
Even if they are about to exhaust themselves, even if they know that even if they hold on to this moment, they don't know what will happen in the next moment
On the city wall and under the city wall, there are broken limbs. Familiar faces lie on the ground, each with their eyes wide open, and their descriptions are ferocious, forming a dark red river of flesh and blood. Looking at it at a glance, the dead are worse than the living. need more.
Heavy and cold, just like the legendary river of the underworld, using human flesh and blood to cultivate the bright and bloody Bana flower!
The despair of death hangs over the hearts of every Xiye soldier, they are already the turtles in the urn!
kill! kill! kill!
On the city wall, there are fewer and fewer people alive, and morale is getting lower and lower
"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Another large area of dense iron arrows pierced through the air, and the black arrow rain shot down a row of Xiye soldiers on the city wall in an instant, and the last bit of morale of the rest was instantly punctured like a fragile paper window up.
After that, it was defeated.
"boom!"
Another sound of hitting the city gate was like a thunderstorm on the ground, shocking the sky, the Xiye soldiers behind the inner city gate couldn't stand it anymore
With a "squeak", the inner city gate was also opened!
It seemed that the last glimmer of hope had been mercilessly extinguished.
"Kill!"
With the sound of horseshoes and the ground trembling slightly, the Southern Xinjiang cavalry at the front took the lead in roaring and galloping into the inner city, sweeping towards the enemy army with a roar, with the momentum of thousands of horses galloping.
Taking advantage of the momentum of the horses, the cavalry mercilessly brandished their sharp long knives, and the knives flew up and down, bloody. ..
kill! Kill again! Still kill!
After the cavalry, the infantry of the Southern Border Army poured in like a raging flood, stretching for several miles, those Xiye soldiers who had already lost their positions were routed and scattered in all directions.
The inner city is completely in chaos, scattered!
The broken hearts of the Xiye Army could no longer be reunited, and the next battle was completely one-sided. The Southern Border Army rushed forward one after another, like a tsunami on a stormy night, with each wave higher than each wave. It is a huge force enough to split mountains and rivers and tear apart all obstacles!
This wave of murderous intent rushed towards Xiye Palace violently, and the palace gate collapsed!
This loud noise resounded heavily throughout the entire capital, echoing endlessly in the ears of every Xiye person.
The palace gate has been broken, which means that the capital city has been completely captured!
In the palace, flesh and blood were flying and corpses were strewn across the field. The lingering Xiye imperial guards retreated step by step, watching in horror as a group of southern border troops surrounded by two handsome young men walked into the palace step by step like stars. , and then step by step towards the direction of the palace.
One of the two youths was wearing a moon-white fur-trimmed cloak, and the other was wearing a silver battle armor. They were both civil and military, and they both strolled in the courtyard, as if they were not in a war to subjugate the country, as if they were just out for a walk.
The hustle and bustle around them seemed to be separated from the two by an invisible barrier!
It turns out that this is Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi, the son of Prince Zhennan!
After a while, the remaining dozens of imperial guards had no way to retreat. They had already arrived outside the hall, and behind them was their general, their king!
And they can only fight to the death!
The leading Cavalry Captain of the Guards opened his mouth wide, roaring and wanting to fight, but all he could do was take a step forward. In the next moment, iron arrows shot out like a swarm of bees amidst the sound of machine springs. In the blink of an eye, dozens of corpses covered with iron arrows appeared outside the hall, with hideous faces.
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai stepped into the hall side by side. Compared with the dead bodies everywhere outside, the huge hall still looks magnificent and spotless.
All the civil and military courtiers were looking at Guan Yubai, watching this young man who came back from hell trample Xiye under his feet step by step!
Their hearts trembled and their bodies could hardly move.
The southern border army that poured in later subdued the courtiers with lightning speed, leaving only the Western Night King and four or five soldiers and the imperial guards guarding him, and no one else.
Xiye Wang faced the two youths without blinking, one was familiar and the other was unfamiliar.
"Official, Yu, Bai." Xiye Wang stood up from the throne at some point, staring at Guan Yubai with burning eyes.
This once heroic officer and minor general seemed to be a different person from before, weak and thin, with sloppy footsteps, and looked like a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken.
But it was such a weak Guan Yubai who led his troops to capture Xiye? !
Xiye King was heartbroken, waved away the people around him, and strode off the throne, still holding his head high.
However, in the eyes of Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai, this is nothing more than external power but internal work.
"noob"
Xiao Yi glanced at Guan Yubai, then took a step back, letting Guan Yubai resolve his grievances with King Xiye by himself.
Xiye Wang stared fiercely at Guan Yubai who was only a few steps away from him, his red eyes were full of resentment and resentment, he really wanted to rush up and tear Guan Yubai apart.
But he still restrained himself. He stared at Guan Yubai, with a murderous look in his eyes, and said slowly, "Guan Yubai, this time he lost alone!"
Following that, King Xiye raised his right eyebrow sarcastically.
"But so what?! Guan Yubai, you don't count as a win!"
He raised his head and laughed wildly, then looked at Guan Yubai again with cold eyes, full of provocation, and his voice was so cold that it almost fell out of ice.
"The official army is gone long ago. You, Guan Yubai, are all alone and so sick! It's not a loss to have your official family buried with you!"
Yes, he is not a loser!
He had long ago dragged the whole family of officials and even the entire army of officials to be buried with him, and he made Guan Yubai have to live alone in pain!
Guan Yubai looked at King Xiye calmly, as if looking at a clown, and said slowly: "Gao Mihao, it's not you who lost, but Xi Ye who lost!"
From now on, there will be no more Xiye!
He used Xiye's blood to commemorate the official army and the people of Xijiang who died at the hands of Xiye people for so many years!
King Xiye trembled all over, raised his head and laughed again, "Yes, there will be no more Xiye in the future! There will be no more me, Gao Mihao!"
However, he is not reconciled!
How did that happen? !
Suddenly, he turned his right hand slightly, a cold light flashed in his sleeve, and there was a small dagger in his hand. Without warning, he strode forward and stabbed Guan Yubai's neck!
Today's Guan Yubai is nothing but a sick man, his life is easy to kill!
Even if Gao Mihao dies, everyone in the official family must be buried with him!
All this happened in the midst of lightning, and everyone's expressions changed.
"Young master!"
Xiaosi flashed, and appeared in front of Guan Yubai like a ghost. Almost at the same time, with a sound of "Zheng", a willow-leaf flying knife hit the dagger in Xiye King's hand, and the dagger came out, and then " Bang" and fell to the ground.
The impact was loud and piercing.
King Xiye looked at Xiaosi with a cold face, and the son of Prince Zhennan who was carelessly playing with the other Willow Leaf Flying Knife, as if falling into an ice cellar, and his heart was extremely desperate at this moment.
It seems that he has no way to drag Guan Yubai to Huangquan together!
"Hahaha"
In a burst of unwilling laughter, Xiye Wang resolutely bit the poison hidden in his mouth.
Immediately, a trace of black blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his tall and strong body fell backwards, like a building collapsing.
He fell heavily on the marble floor, his eyes were bulging, but there was still a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that the next one would be Emperor Dayu!
