Chapter 499 Charging into the City
Upon hearing this, Di Beizun laughed with pleasure, his cold and beautiful face full of alluring smiles. "I thought you had no sense of crisis! You can rest assured about this. Even without a prince, our princess can become Empress. If she follows your personality, why worry about not being able to rule the whole world?"
"Your Majesty the Empress? I've never been Your Majesty the Empress..."
"I have to listen to you now. You are much more powerful than the Empress!"
"That's not quite right. Her Majesty the Empress's empire is, after all, her own, and it's real. I conquered you before I could conquer the world. But it seems that this is not something an ordinary person can do. This also shows that I am very attractive, making you unable to resist me."
How shameless!
This Lord Sikong is someone you absolutely cannot praise!
The two chatted for quite a while, but then Lord Sikong felt increasingly dizzy and eventually fell asleep because he was too sleepy to continue.
……
The next day, while Sikong Jin was still asleep, the Imperial Northern Army had already advanced dozens of miles and was at the gates of the Dayong Imperial City.
Feng Yang's army of over 100,000 men had all arrived and joined forces by the latter half of last night. This morning, the army immediately set off for the capital of Dayong. Emperor Beizun planned to end the war quickly. He was already impatient with this great battle for the world. Most importantly, his woman was now pregnant with his child. He had to end the war as soon as possible so that he could take Sikong Jin back to the capital of Dazhou to get married and give her a proper status. Otherwise, the child would not be able to wait!
"Your Majesty, the army is fully prepared and ready to go to war at any time."
Feng Yang spoke to Di Beizun, who was on horseback.
Emperor Beizun nodded, raising his head slightly to look at the magnificent city before him. On the city wall, the Emperor of Dayong and his ministers were already looking out. Emperor Beizun knew that they had made full preparations for this battle.
Have any messages come back from the scouts?
Emperor Beizun remained calm and asked indifferently.
"Xing Qiyu currently has no less than 150,000 troops amassed in the imperial city. Adding the strength of the Liu family and the Sikong family, the city probably has no less than 300,000 troops. Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Dayong Imperial City is similar to the Tiansheng Imperial City, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we attack by force, I'm afraid we won't succeed. We will need to use strategy."
Feng Yang looked at the city in front of him with a solemn expression and asked worriedly. However, when he looked at Di Beizun, he saw that he looked very confident. He remembered that His Majesty had also arranged a pawn in Dayong, but he did not know who this pawn would be. If, like Tian Sheng, there was also a Prince Wei as an inside agent, the difficulty of attacking the city would be greatly reduced.
Emperor Beizun glanced indifferently at the city ahead, a cold glint flashing in his dark eyes, and said calmly, "Set up the formation. My Thunderclap Battle Formation is specifically designed to deal with these fortified cities. Let them break through the city at all costs. As long as we can capture it, I don't mind if it becomes a ruined city."
Upon hearing Emperor Beizun's words, Feng Yang was taken aback, but dared not say anything more, and quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes! Your Majesty! But, Your Majesty, aren't we waiting for Lord Sikong?"
Before Feng Yang could finish speaking, he was met with a cold stare from Di Beizun, who frightened him so much that he dared not say anything more and quickly turned around and retreated to set up an array.
Sikong Jin should still be fast asleep. Even though she's pregnant with his child, she's still restless. Helpless, he had no choice but to light some calming incense and let her sleep for two days. By the time she wakes up, the war should be almost over, and she should be in good spirits.
"Send the order: the army shall begin the siege and capture Yukichi alive!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
……
The rapid and stirring drumbeats resounded, the shouts of battle were deafening, and with a series of booming explosions, the entire earth began to shake!
According to historical records, on the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the 469th year of the Red Moon calendar, Emperor Bei launched his final great war to unify the land. This war is recorded in great detail in the *Red Moon Handbook*.
At noon on October 15th, the sky was overcast with a light drizzle and the weather was slightly chilly. The Northern Army of the Emperor launched a fierce attack on the Imperial City of Dayong, bombarding it with the world-renowned Thunderclap Battle Formation. At the same time, new siege weapons approached the Imperial City of Dayong under the cover of the Thunderclap Battle Formation.
The ferocity of the Thunderclap Battle Formation was astonishing; under the relentless bombardment, the hidden tower of Dayong was almost completely destroyed.
Meanwhile, the Sikong clan of Dayong and the subordinates of General Zhu Yuan suddenly betrayed the emperor, launching a swift attack on the Dayong Emperor's guards and surrounding the entire palace. Emperor Xing Qiyu of Dayong was preoccupied with preparing for a desperate battle against Emperor Beizun outside the capital and had no idea that Sikong Shu and Zhu Yuan had openly betrayed him and intercepted his guards! He immediately issued an order to Liu Changyue, commanding him to block Sikong Shu and Zhu Yuan's army. However, there was no time to wait for them to act; attacked from both sides, Xing Qiyu could not resist for long!
The powerful offensive of the Imperial Northern Army was almost too much for them to resist. With no other choice, Yukichi could only try to retreat to the south gate. However, as soon as Yukichi moved, the west gate was breached by the Imperial Northern Army. The main force rushed into the city, and the shouts of battle alarmed the entire city, and a fierce bloody battle began!
The pampered royal army of Dayong was no match for the powerful Imperial Northern Army. After the army broke through the city, Xing Qiyu was completely defeated in just one hour. With no other choice, he had to lead the less than 50,000 surviving royal soldiers and his own guards to escape the imperial city through the south gate, leaving the Liu family army to cover the rear.
Liu Changyue cursed Xing Qiyu as a scoundrel, wishing he could tear him to pieces. However, as he watched his painstakingly built Liu family army being wiped out by the Imperial Northern Army, he fought to the death and died from heartache, spitting blood.
After a fierce battle, the beautiful imperial city was transformed into a living hell in an instant. Corpses lay scattered everywhere, and the blood flowing on the ground formed streams. Limbs and fragments of flesh were scattered all over the place, and the strong, pungent smell of blood made people want to vomit.
As night fell, Di Beizun stopped his horse on the street littered with corpses. By the dim firelight, he looked indifferently at the large number of corpses and the spilled blood in front of him, his gaze as calm as still water.
"Your Majesty, the city has been brought under control. Yukichi led his remaining troops to escape through the south gate and fled southwest. I have already sent men to pursue them. The palace has been taken over by the head of the Sikong family and is awaiting Your Majesty's judgment."
Feng Yang clasped his hands in a fist salute to Emperor Beizun on horseback.
