Chapter 1703: A Galaxia tree fell from the sky (2 in 1)
The inner city.
Xu Pingzhi was riding on a horse, leading 15 riders and 50 Imperial saber guards on foot as they patrolled the streets at a moderate pace.
The Royal sword guards had bows and crossbows on their backs and sabers on their waists. Their expressions were solemn.
The inner city was under martial law, and the people were not allowed to go out. Those who went on the streets without permission were killed without mercy. Since this was to prevent the panic of the people from causing chaos, it was also to prevent the enemy spies from secretly instigating the people and creating chaos.
Even a three-year-old child would not believe that there were no spies of the Yunzhou rebel army in the capital.
“Boss, do you think we can hold the capital? From the sounds of it, the South City seems to have fallen.”
A young Royal saber guard said worriedly as he caught up to them on his horse.
Xu Pingzhi was lost in his own world and didn’t hear her.
“Boss?”
The young Royal saber guard tilted his head and shouted.
Xu Pingzhi came back to his senses and frowned.
“Patrol the streets and do your job well. The rest of the matters will be handled by you, so there’s no need to think too much.”
The young Royal saber guard grinned.
“If you say” my nephew “will take care of it, then I’ll feel at ease.”
Xu Pingzhi was now a thousand-man commander of the Imperial saber guard, and a thousand-man commander with real power. It was enough to be said that he held an important position with great power.
All of this was, of course, thanks to his amazing “education” level. Everyone in the capital knew that the Imperial saber guard Centurion, Xu Pingzhi, had taught the unparalleled hero Xu yinluo and the two-time scholar Xu Xinyi.
The former was well-known, needless to say.
The latter was a genius, able to write, able to maintain peace in the martial world, and had many achievements on the battlefield.
At this point, no one criticized Xu Pingzhi for not being a son and burying Xu yinluo’s potential in studying.
It was true that Xu yinluo was a scholar, but it would not be wrong to let him practice martial arts.
The young Royal saber guard asked in a low voice, ”
boss, give me a definite answer. Is Xu yinluo confident that she can hold the capital? ”
Seeing that Xu Pingzhi didn’t respond, he goaded him, ”
“You don’t know, but a few days ago, the capital was set up. The brothers could see that the rebel army is most likely coming. Everyone said that Xu yinluo was an arrow at the end of its flight, and the great victory in Danzhou city was the last radiance of Dafeng’s life.
“It’s even possible that there wasn’t a major victory at all, and that it was just a lie to the people and US nobodies.”
Normally, Xu Pingzhi would defend his nephew, so it was easy to get him to speak.
But now, he could only sigh silently in his heart.
His eldest brother had come to the capital, which meant that there would be an end to the father and son today.
Second uncle Xu was different from his aunt. The aunt stood firmly on her unlucky nephew’s side. After all, he was a child that she had raised herself.
However, Xu Pingfeng was second uncle Xu’s brother. Even though the two brothers had become strangers, Xu Pingzhi’s heart was filled with pain when he thought about how only one of his nephew and big brother could live and how they would kill each other.
……….
In the barracks in the city, Wei Yuan stood in front of the map of the capital. His eyes were not on the map, but on the bronze mirror in his hand.
The mirror was in the shape of a half-moon and was incomplete.
The mirror reflected the scene of the battle. This magical treasure called the ” hun Tian Shen mirror ” was given to him by Xu Xin. It helped him plan and observe the battle situation in real time.
Wei Yuan was only a mortal now, so he couldn’t participate in the defense.
Of the four city gates of the capital, the northern side was guarded by Yun Lu Institute’s Zhang Shen, Li Mubai, Xu niannian, and the others. Their opponent was the former commander of Yun province, yang Chuannan.
Wei Yuan remembered that this person was from a family of generals. On the surface, he was a member of the Royal faction. When he was in his early thirties, he was appointed as the commander of Yunzhou. Wei Yuan didn’t have much interaction with him, but Wei Yuan remembered yang Chuannan’s father, Yang Zhao.
He was a general who was extremely good at commanding troops and sieging cities.
The Yang family had a military book, ” twelve city-breaking strategies, ” which had been written since Yang Zhao’s grandfather’s generation and passed down for three generations. It was only completed in the hands of Yang Zhao.
It was said that this book had divided all siege strategies into twelve different strategies. If it was made public, the Yang family would be able to leave a mark in the history of military tactics.
However, from the moment this book was written, it was classified as a “family study” and was not passed on to outsiders.
“Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation.”
Wei Yuan looked at the cracks on the North City wall. It was no longer suitable to continue defending. In at most an incense’s time, Zhang Shen and the others retreated. Just like the South City wall, they changed positions and fought in the streets.
On the West, Heng Yuan and Chu Yuanyou led the Imperial Guards and the remaining Gu tribe soldiers to guard the place. The battle situation was the most stable there. The corpse Gu tribe gathered a group of fearless corpse soldiers, and together with the dark Gu tribe’s elusive assassination techniques, they defeated the Yunzhou Army one after another.
As for the West Gate, Wei Yuan only needed to ensure that there were enough cannonballs and rolling wood.
On the East were the 12 guards led by the night watchmen, Jin Gong, and the hundred Wars camp of the five battalions of the Imperial Army.
The battle here was the most intense. They were facing the heavy-armored soldiers of the Xuanwu Army, who were armed to the teeth and could not be harmed at all by the fire and arrows.
With their weapons, armors, and sabers, even the elite of the elite and the Imperial Army were no match for them.
Together with the rank-4 and rank-5 martial artists from Yunzhou, they could be said to be invincible.
Fortunately, there were not many rank-4 experts. The city wall was well-preserved and could still hold on.
The weakest part of the city, the South, had already fallen under Wei Yuan’s intentional opening.
Wei Yuan had buried a large number of mines in the southern part of the city. There were 2000 armored soldiers hiding in the houses and 16 cannons on the main road. The people had long been cleared.
The moment the Yunzhou Army entered, the Dafeng Army would take advantage of the situation and deal them a heavy blow.
However, Qi Guangbo had always been steady, only sending a small number of troops to attack the south of the city, fighting with the defenders and figuring out the road conditions.
