Chapter 3 The Battle of the Imperial Capital
Chapter 3 Battle of the Imperial Capital
November of the first year of the Dalli year, a cold winter night. This is a night that countless future generations remember. It is a night that caused great changes in the Shenlong Kingdom and eventually led to the unification of the entire continent.
This cold night was recorded in history and even recorded in textbooks of classic battles. It was a lightning battle that made countless people admire.
The profound significance of this battle has caused countless descendants to guess. Countless people are speculating whether the great Han Dragon Emperor had predicted the changes in the continental structure caused by this battle before the war.
The strong wind was roaring wildly, and the dead branches and gravel rolled up all over the sky. The cold wind on the cold night stings people's naked skin like a blade.
The dead trees in the Shenlong Mountains made loud "crack" sounds in the bitter cold wind. From time to time, dry trees were blown off from dead branches in the cold wind.
On the road, the sand and stones blowing from the violent cold wind flew in the air like sharp blades.
The sky was pitch black, and dark clouds blocked the full moon tightly. The earth was pitch black, and only the cold wind was heard whistling in my ears.
In the world, only the strong wind roared wildly, covering up the prelude of the war that was about to begin at night. Twenty thousand cavalrymen faced the cold wind, their horses' hooves wrapped around their clothes, and quietly marched on the road to the imperial capital.
In front of the cavalry, there is a team of high-level swordsmen composed of ten thousand warriors of the dwarves. The warriors of the dwarves are naked and face the cold wind, holding the dwarves' essential killing weapon, battle axe! Walking on the road with excitement.
Kong Ming walked at the front of the team. The cold wind did not blow a trace of Kong Ming's silver hair, and his dark and deep eyes still flashed like cold stars even on the dark night.
The raging wind seemed to have a tacit understanding with Kong Ming, quietly separated in front of Kong Ming and did not invade Kong Ming at all.
Jialan followed Kong Ming tightly, with a cold expression on her face still on her face, and even frozen the cold wind. A strange light flashed in her eyes, and her huge wings were restrained by her at this time.
A black light and shadow surrounded Jialan's body, blocking the violent cold wind. He followed Kong Ming step by step, always looking ahead with vigilance.
Thirty thousand people quietly approached the imperial capital of the Shenlong Empire in the dark night and the strong wind.
Looking from a distance, the lights were dim on the walls of the Shenlong Empire. The howling wind blew the lights hanging on the walls, and the lights kept flashing brightly and darkly.
The soldiers on the city were squatting under the arrows on the city, avoiding the violent cold wind. The soldiers clamped their collars tightly, kicked their sleeves with both hands, and leaned against the wall curled. Even though they were wearing thick winter clothes, they still couldn't help but shivered.
Kong Ming led 30,000 soldiers to face the cold wind, waiting for the secret codes of Lingyun and other hidden troops in the city. The 30,000 troops stood in the cold wind, and no one felt cold. The soldiers looked at the city near before them, their eyes flashed with eager light, and the blood in their bodies also boiled against the cold wind.
Sophid's face was flushed, his eyes were flashing, and he kept holding on to the great sword excitedly. He could no longer hold back and wanted to release his passion.
Sophid, who hadn't been on the battlefield for ten years, has been ignited after several battles. He is in his forties, and seems to have found the wild feeling of being in front of hundreds of thousands of troops more than ten years ago.
The hidden troops in the city had already launched an action at this time, and a thousand people were scattered in various important roads in the imperial capital, paying close attention to the every move of the army in the imperial capital.
Ling Yun led a thousand hidden troops and launched a secret attack.
Under the east gate of the imperial capital, a thousand soldiers watching were gathered together, huddling each other to dispel the coldness of the cold night. In front of piles of flashing firelight, the soldiers were trying to get their swollen hands close to the flames.
"It's so cold! This damn weather is simply deadly!"
"Damn it, I'm so frozen to death! This is a sudden change. It's not that cold yesterday, but it suddenly became cold today!"
"It's so unlucky. I'm so lucky to have this ghost weather vigil."
While taking the warmth, the soldiers kept cursing the sudden change of weather. The trembling sound in the sound made people feel even more cold.
Suddenly, the fire swayed. A thousand night watchmen suffered a collective stroke at the same time, and at the same time stopped cursing and fell to the ground.
The strange and abrupt scene sets off the flashing fire, which makes people feel particularly terrifying. If someone saw it at this time, he would definitely think that it was a ghost that caused the devil to come to the world.
After dealing with the gatekeepers under the city, Ling Yun led 500 people to sneak up to the top of the city. No one was patrolling above the city. All the soldiers were holding weapons, huddling tightly there, and sitting on the ground leaning against the wall.
The piles of soldiers crowded there gave the Hidden Ministry an excellent opportunity to assassinate. Ling Yun led the Hidden Ministry and launched a silent assassination of the soldiers on the city. No blood was seen or any sound was heard. Soldiers went to the underworld without any pain.
In less than twenty minutes, the entire East Gate soldiers were silently cleared. All actions were completed silently without making any sound.
The huge city gate was opened silently under the unique door opening technique of the hidden part.
Kong Ming looked at the city gate wide open, and waved his feather fan lightly. The 30,000 army entered the imperial capital with great pride.
Ling Yun showed his figure in black outfit, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and there was an undetectable excitement above his cold face.
Kong Ming looked at the excitement on Ling Yun's face and knew that Ling Yun must have wanted to follow him to attack the palace.
"Leave five hundred people to guard the city gate. Lingyun, take five hundred people to the palace with me."
A cold light flashed in Lingyun's eyes, and the corners of his cold mouth moved slightly. A cold light flashed in his hand, and a bright silver spear appeared in his hands. The extreme excitement caused his power to explode instantly.
Kong Ming looked at the familiar streets of the imperial capital, but he didn't expect that after a year, he would be like this when he returned here again. But now, Kong Ming can no longer think too much, and time is extremely precious to him.
There were 300,000 troops stationed in the imperial capital, but they were scattered in various military camps in the city. Each battalion was divided into 80,000 people, and the main roads of each city gate. Every two hours, a thousand patrol teams would patrol. The city gates were soldiers who were rotated to guard the city in three hours. The main area of the palace was guarded by the 50,000 Royal Knights.
Kong Ming wanted to enter the palace in the shortest time. Then, before mobilizing the 300,000 troops to evacuate the imperial capital. On the way to the palace, they must avoid the camps of the army guarding the city. If they encounter soldiers patrolling the city, they must kill without disturbing anyone.
They sneaked to the palace silently, and they were facing only a 50,000 royal knights. When they attacked the palace, they would inevitably alarm the soldiers in the city.
It is not easy to mobilize a 300,000 army suddenly. It will take at least two hours to launch an effective attack on Kong Ming's army.
Kong Ming wanted to attack the palace before the 300,000 army formed an effective attack, and then evacuate in the shortest time.
The time left for Kong Ming is only two or three hours. They must fight quickly and start a lightning battle.
Although there are tall walls in the city, the violent wind is still roaring wildly. On the dark imperial capital road, no one is walking in the cold night. (The one who comes out for a walk in the middle of winter is unless it is a lunatic!)
The howling wind cooperated to cover up the footsteps of the soldiers and the sound of horse hooves. The hidden part hidden in the intersections of the streets was observing every move in the city.
On such a cold night, even the soldiers patrolling the city were dealing with the matter. At this time, they didn't know where the cat was keeping warm. On the way to the palace, they did not meet the soldiers patrolling the city, and invisibly gained a little time for this blitzkrieg.
Outside the palace, there were heavy troops guarding the huge iron gate. The bright magic lights made the lights reflected in front of the palace gate. Teams of royal knights wearing golden armor were cross-shoulder patrolling in front of the gate.
The Royal Knights are the most elite army in the entire Dragon Empire. They generally do not participate in any wars, but are only responsible for protecting the king. They will only join the war with the king when the king is in person.
The selection of every knight of the Royal Knights is very strict. It must have the title of a noble, have outstanding fighting spirit, have superb riding skills and absolute loyalty.
Kong Ming saw the brightly lit palace area from afar. At this time, they no longer needed to hide their tracks.
Kong Ming looked at the palace, smiled slightly, commanded Sophid's cavalry, and launched an attack.
Sophid's face turned red in the cold wind, and the excitement in his eyes was flashing. The sword raised straight ahead and activated the war horse under his crotch, leading the five thousand cavalry to launch an impact.
The raging wind still covered the sound of the horse's hooves. It was not until Sufid's cavalry rushed up at a speed that a dull sound came faintly.
The Royal Knights cavalry guarding in front of the palace listened to the roaring sound. Because it was too dark, they only heard the sound and did not see the person.
The soldiers guarding the royal palace immediately judged with their voice that this was the sound of cavalry charge. The cavalry of the Royal Knights sounded the emergency horn, and the elite royal cavalry quickly unfolded the defensive queue in front of the door.
The horn of emergency alarmed the Royal Knights in sleep. In the noisy sound, the Royal Knights gathered in an emergency. The lights flashed in the palace, and the noise and chaotic footsteps sounded. The neighing of the war horses added a bit of tension to the night.
