At this point, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Lu Xianhui's eyes.
"Gong Han!"
"What do you want, Your Highness?"
"Give me your orders..."
…
…
at the same time.
More than 10,000 well-armed, elite and powerful Zhao troops are marching in formation along a not-so-famous road, advancing with all their might!
This army had been on the march for several days, but there was no sign of fatigue on their faces. Instead, everyone looked stern and murderous, like a killing machine in war...
They are the most powerful army of the State of Zhao, a secret force promoted and established by the Young Emperor of Zhao himself—the Young Emperor's Army!
Emperor Zhao was among this group of elite soldiers at the moment. Next to him was Prime Minister Mo, who was dressed in black, ready to be dispatched at any time... Not to mention, there were several powerful and terrifying auras around him, escorting this army and concealing their tracks...
Just as the Shaodi army was attacking with all their might, a crisp sound rang in Shaodi Zhao's ears, and then he turned to look at Prime Minister Mo.
Facing the gaze of Emperor Zhao, Mo Xiang directly took out a broken life tablet...
On it, the words "Qin Su" were written, and a crack separated them...
"Failed?"
Emperor Zhao frowned, and spoke in a heavy voice - although he brought a great cultivator with him, attacking such a city without internal support would be troublesome, and... Shenzhou had made a blood oath in front of him, and letting a great cultivator take action without reason would also be extremely costly...
But strangely, Mo Xiang shook his head.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Golden City is already in your grasp!"
This sentence seems "contradictory", but it is not unreasonable, because according to Prime Minister Mo's plan, from the very beginning, he had no intention of letting Mr. Qin Su come back alive.
The reason was simple: time was running out! You know, with such a long distance and a surprise attack, it was impossible to wait for the other party to respond before taking action - if that were the case, the Zhao army might as well go home and sleep!
Opportunities are fleeting, and speed is of the essence. Prime Minister Mo must understand this...
Therefore, Qin Su not only went there to "lobby", he also went there... to "die".
Yes.
The broken fate card is what Mo Xiang really wants... information.
He believed that Lu Xianhui would understand the intention behind his move...
Sometimes, there is such a tacit understanding between smart people.
"Your Majesty, the fighter plane... has arrived!"
Mo Xiang's eyes were filled with some strong emotions...
He raised his head slightly.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and the moon was obscured by a whistling breeze.
It was a night of high winds and dark moon... the night of murder.
"The entire army will charge into Jindu!"
Emperor Zhao nodded heavily and gave an order!
…
…
Not long after, near the gate tower of Jindu City.
As the former capital of the Great Zhou, just like the capital of Zhao, even if it is empty, it has the necessary defenses. However, due to the relocation of the capital of the Great Zhou for many years, the city defense here is no longer as good as before. The most representative of its defense is the moat - the river water is introduced into the city, so it is conceivable how deep it is. Even this alone is enough to make most invading enemies retreat... But that obviously does not include the most elite army of the Emperor Shao of Zhao.
As one of the most powerful armies in the vast land of China, they followed Emperor Zhao in his battles and were invincible... The Emperor Zhao's army had long since developed its own military spirit, inheriting the "pride" of Emperor Zhao as the true emperor. On weekdays, apart from showing a little respect to the first army of China, the Immortal Slayer Army, they did not take other armies seriously.
Even towards the "loser army" that conquered their capital, they showed disdain, even... contempt.
What is that newly formed miscellaneous army
Only the Young Emperor’s Army is the ruler of China!
Whatever those guys can do, they can only do better!
Starting from the moment they capture the city tonight, they will make sure that the world will remember that among the new powerful armies to be born within the next twenty years, only their Young Emperor Army can stand out!
The rest are all clay chickens and clay dogs!
Therefore, there was no need for Young Emperor Zhao to say anything more. The morale here naturally reached its peak. Every soldier of Young Emperor Zhao's army stared at the majestic city in front of them with burning eyes, and a sneer of disdain slowly appeared at the corner of their mouths...
"All troops charge in!"
After observing the city gate tower for a while in the light of the fire, Emperor Zhao finally gave the order to attack.
"promise."
In the darkness, two generals of the Young Emperor's Army responded, and then they immediately split into two groups and led their men to press forward. Relying on all the means they had prepared long ago, they easily crossed the moat - there were naturally some bumps and stumbles during this process, but for the Young Emperor's Army, such a barrier was nothing at all.
Soon, several hundred soldiers of the Young Emperor's army crossed the river, carried the ladders out, and carefully placed them on the moat. Another part of the Young Emperor's army also came to the bottom of the city wall in the dark and set up some ladders...
The army's movements were so skillful and their concealment methods so advanced that the defenders in the city did not come to their senses until this moment.
"who?"
A doubtful voice was heard in the city, but obviously... it was too late.
"Kill!" The general of the Young Emperor's army snorted.
"Kill!" Many soldiers shouted in unison, and then used all kinds of weapons to kill the guards on the city without mercy!
For a moment, arrows flew everywhere, and countless hissing sounds and screams rang out in the darkness, accompanied by the guards' panicked cries for help...
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The entire Jindu City was suddenly awakened from the darkness by the shouting and killing... I don't know if it was the defenders' illusion, but when the enemy pressed forward, it seemed as if the whole city was trembling and afraid, as if there was some terrible power in the darkness...
In just a few breaths, Jindu was in chaos!
…
"Boom, boom."
“Kill!”
"Take this city!"
There were shouts and footsteps outside, and a middle-aged man in the prefect's mansion was shocked. He was sleeping soundly with his newly married concubine, but when he heard the noise, he immediately realized that something was wrong!
"What's going on?!"
“General! Yes… yes, the east… east gate of the city is lost, lost!” A soldier ran over with a bloody face and shouted to the man, “Sir, this city can’t be defended, run!”
"Nonsense! Even if there is an enemy attack, how long has it been? How could the East Gate be lost so quickly? Are you soldiers guarding the East Gate just sitting there doing nothing?"
"Sir! This is really not our fault... The East Gate, the East Gate mutiny! We can't stop the enemy!"
"mutiny?"
Hearing this, the man was suddenly shocked: "There must be an insider! This, this... There are all aristocratic families in the city, could it be..."
"Sir, there is no need to guess." Just when the man was distracted, the soldier suddenly revealed a sinister smile, and the next moment... a strange dagger with a blood-red glow pierced through the man's body!
Then he pulled it out in a flash, turned it, and cut off the head of the sleeping concubine.
"What...you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the man fell to the ground and died.
Seeing this, the soldier smiled coldly, then a determined look appeared in his eyes. He looked up at the dark sky outside and murmured, "Your Highness, I have finally lived up to your trust... I will go ahead."
Having said that, he suddenly turned the dagger upside down, and then thrust it fiercely into his body!
A long mouthful of blood spurted out, he supported his body, tremblingly walked to the front, and shouted with his last strength: "There is an assassin! The governor is dead! The governor is dead! -"
As soon as he uttered this sentence, he felt dizzy, and then fell heavily to the ground with a bang!
As a result... the city was in a precarious situation, and it was no longer possible to put up an effective resistance. All the defenders who were still holding out breathed a sigh of relief and completely lost their fighting spirit. Some surrendered, some were killed...
The Golden Capital was quickly captured!
Then, Emperor Zhao did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to Jieting!
At dawn, the Jieting defenders had not even received the news of the fall of Jindu when they were attacked frantically by the elite army... As the incident happened suddenly and the defense was weak, the battle lasted until noon... The defenders were ultimately unable to resist...
Jieting was lost!
The throat has been taken by the enemy!
The situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse!
…
A few days later.
Countless urgent war reports, as well as impeachments and memorials of criticism that came like snowflakes... were passed into the Zhou Palace and placed on the desk of Emperor Zhou!
